Please pass this on to everyone you know so they will see the crap that people are starting.
Fair is fair no matter how it turns out. FAIR VOTE... NOT STOLEN.
YOUR vote matters.
The St. Johns County Republican Party (SJCRP) has sounded the alarm, claiming that fraudulent endorsement cards are being circulated ahead of the August primary.
These cards, which appear to be near-exact replicas of the legitimate GOP endorsements, have been mailed in an apparent attempt to confuse voters and sway the election.
“It’s a very close knockoff, but it’s fraudulent,” said Denver Cook, Chairman of the St. Johns County GOP per WOKV. “When you talk about election interference and election fraud, I don’t know how it could be worse than this.”
The fake endorsement cards list 8 candidates that directly contradict those endorsed by the St. Johns County GOP. According to Cook, this is a deliberate and malicious attempt to mislead voters and disrupt the integrity of the election.
“This is our real voter guide, you can see on the back side of it, we explain why we did, we have the required disclaimers on the bottom,” Cook said.
The St. Johns GOP endorses grassroots conservatives who are willing to take out the RINOs in Congress.
The Chairman has received over a dozen calls from concerned citizens, all of whom were confused by the fake mailers.
“To do this, it’s angering, frustrating and it concerns me about behavior when you talk voter intimidations, voter fraud, the level of anger that’s been produced,” he said.
Cook stated that they would never have sent anything from Jacksonville, according to News4Jax.
“You can see that it was mailed from Jacksonville on Aug. 7 with a stamp and no return address,” Cook said.
“We wouldn’t have mailed it from Jacksonville but additionally these cards aren’t prepared to be mailed. There’s no way for us to put a stamp or an address on them. The other thing is we don’t have.”
For Cook, this act is dirty politics, he called it “outright fraud and criminal.”
“I would call this beyond dirty politics. Dirty politics you would see the hate mail that comes out on individuals or attack pieces that are fabricated, based on a sliver of truth and blown up to be this whole thing. This is so far beyond that. This is outright fraud and criminal.”
Cook expressed deep concern over the motives behind these fake voter guides, which he believes were not only costly but also strategically crafted to undermine the party’s efforts.
“The first one that comes to mind is to try and offset the work we’re doing for political gain for people they’re supporting,” Cook said.
“The second is greed. I think when you look at trying to get certain people in certain positions that will vote in a way you need them to, people want that.”
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) has been notified, and Cook is determined to see justice served. If those responsible for this fraud are identified, Cook vows that they will face serious legal consequences.
“First of all, I think the people need to be held accountable for this criminally and civilly. And we as a party and chairman are going to pursue that as far as we can. The state party is already engaged as well.”
Evan Power, Chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, also weighed in on the matter, issuing a strong statement of support for the St. Johns County GOP.
Statement via WOKV:
“The Republican Party of Florida and the St. Johns County Republican Party are the only organizations qualified to speak officially on behalf of our party in St. Johns County. We are taking this matter very seriously and are investigating. No Florida voter should be misled by anonymous, phony groups pretending to speak for the GOP.”
Richard Finke, Chair of St. John’s Democratic Party released the following statement to News4Jax, distancing itself from the situation:
“The St. Johns Democratic Party has had nothing to do with or knowledge of these events until today’s reporting. We don’t know of any organizations or individuals who do. It appears to be evidence of continued Republican infighting between the Trump club and the REC, who have been at odds for a long time over endorsements.
We are saddened by the continued disregard of our country’s democracy here in Northeast Florida and the nation at large. Our Party does not endorse one Democrat over another in the primary process.
We want the people to decide and then we will back that choice in the General Election. St. John’s Democratic Party is strongly united and focused on electing Democrats up and down the ballot. We welcome all Republicans and NPAs to join us in electing Kamala Harris as the next President of these United States.”
Early voting is scheduled from August 10th to August 17th, with Election Day set for August 20th, 2024.

Do Americans have any reason to trust the FBI?
The once-vaunted reputation of the Federal Bureau of Investigation has been in tatters for years among conservatives — since well before its deep-state warfare against Donald Trump and his supporters became public knowledge.
But a report this week about the bureau’s dealings with a man arrested in July in a potential Trump assassination plot linked to Iran just made things a good deal worse.
According to Just the News, FBI counterterrorism agents interviewed Pakistani national Asif Raza Merchant in April when he landed at George Bush International Airport in Houston.
“The immigration records from his arrival in Houston on April 13 clearly stated in bright red that he was flagged by the Department of Homeland Security database with the identifier ‘WATCH LIST and denoted as a ‘Lookout Qualified Person of Interest,'” Just the News reported.
Nonetheless, he was allowed into the country on a special parole, Just the News reported.
Maybe it was because he was just an oh-so-smooth talker. The agents who interviewed Merchan found him “polite and cooperative throughout encounter,” Just the News reported, quoting an FBI interview memo.
Or maybe it was because the FBI planned to keep an eye on him, using him as unwitting bait to maybe catch bigger fish in the subterranean sea of terror networks.
That’s how unnamed FBI sources framed it, according to Just the News. But they also pointed out the obvious dangers of simply letting dangerous individuals go free on the expectation that the benefits gained in surveillance would more than make up for any potential hazards.
It’s playing with fire — and in the real world, innocent people get burned.
The sources cited the Obama-era operation known as “Fast and Furious,” in which a plan to trace illegal guns ended up turning into a deadly fiasco, with more than 1,000 weapons disappearing — presumably into the hands of criminals. Two of those guns were found near the scene of the 2010 murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.
The Merchant case hasn’t come with any corpses — at least not that have been publicized so far — so that’s something.
But the fact that the FBI would consider it a worthy risk to allow a known terror suspect, with known ties to Iran — a terrorist-run nation that has been at war with the United States since 1979 — beggars belief.
Or rather, it would beggar belief if the country hadn’t been treated for years to the spectacle of an agency that has exchanged a reputation for stellar law enforcement to become known as an ideologically driven organization.
Americans who follow the news these days see more about an FBI committed to stomping on conservatives — say, parents who speak out at school board meetings — than about an agency battling criminals or the country’s enemies.
Much of the bureau’s current reputational problems no doubt stem from the days of former Director James Comey, who was fired by Trump in 2017. Comey was behind the smearing of retired Gen. Michael Flynn, Trump’s first national security advisor.
He was the FBI director who helped establish the “Russia collusion” hoax that bedeviled Trump’s presidency.
He was the director who employed FBI Agent Peter Strzok and his lover, FBI attorney Lisa Page, the infamous couple who cashed in their “insurance policy” against Trump winning the presidency by attempting to frame him as a stooge of the Kremlin, and getting millions of Americans to believe it.
In 2019, as NBC News reported at the time, the Justice Department Inspector General issued a report declaring that Comey had violated both Justice Department and FBI policy by his actions after Trump fired him, including keeping official memos he wrote while FBI director and giving one of them to a friend, who in turn leaked it to The New York Times. Those were the kind of games Comey played in American politics.
But the FBI since Comey’s departure clearly hasn’t proven itself to be reformed from those dark days.
Director Christopher Wray, the man Trump appointed to replace Comey, has been a disappointment known more for evasive answers to Republican senators and representatives than he is for being a new broom that sweeps clean.
And now a reputable news source is reporting that the FBI allowed a man with known terror ties into the country, only to arrest him three months later on charges of organizing an Iranian-backed plot to kill the 45th president.
Merchant was arrested July 12, according to a Justice Department news release — one day before Trump narrowly survived an assassination attempt at a campaign rally.
That isn’t to suggest there was any link between Merchant and Trump’s would-be assassin in Butler, Pennsylvania, but it does highlight how dangerous threats are.
If the FBI was playing Merchant for a dupe, it was playing with fire.
And no American who’s followed the news over the past decade should even trust this agency’s leadership with a pack of matches.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/08/this-should-finish-tim-walz-political-career-picture/
A bombshell revelation has surfaced this week that could mark the end of Tim Walz’s political career. A photo, recently unearthed, shows Walz holding a protest sign reading “Enduring Freedom Veterans for Kerry” during a 2004 anti-George Bush rally in Mankato, Minnesota.
The problem? Walz never served in Operation Enduring Freedom, and his claims of doing so have been exposed as a lie that has persisted for nearly 20 years.
The photograph, taken by Michael B. Brodkorb, was captured on August 4, 2004, as Walz protested outside a campaign rally for President Bush in Mankato, Minnesota.
Tim Walz has consistently portrayed himself as “a veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom,” the U.S. military operation in Afghanistan initiated after the September 11 attacks.
However, it has come to light that Walz never deployed to Afghanistan, nor did he engage in any combat operations during his military career. His service was primarily in Italy, where he supported NATO forces but did not see action in the Middle East, Free Beacon reported.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported on a 2007 video of Tim Walz falsely claiming he deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
“I spent 24 years in the National Guard, some of that full-time. I was an artilleryman. I deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. My battalion provided base security throughout the European theater from Turkey to England in the early stages of the war in Afghanistan. And that same battalion is now in Iraq at this time,” Walz said in 2007 on CSPAN.
Read more:
Then, another video from 2009 also resurfaces, showing Iraq War veteran David Thul confronting Walz’s aides at his Mankato office regarding these claims. Thul, armed with knowledge and evidence, filmed the encounter and pointed out that Walz’s assertions could be interpreted as violations of the Stolen Valor Act.
During this confrontation, Thul informed Walz's aides that such misrepresentations could lead to jail time.
Thul presented evidence indicating that while Walz served in a supportive role, he did not serve in Afghanistan or engage in any combat actions. One aide admitted she was "not aware" of Walz serving in Afghanistan.
Thul went on to present the 2004 photo of Walz, holding a sign that says "Enduring Freedom Veterans for Care," to another aide, who acknowledged that constituents could get the false impression that Walz served in Afghanistan.
Read more:
David Thul shared this photo in a blog post in 2009 detailing his concerns about Walz’s military record.
“My congressman, who publically attacked an Iraq War veteran for questioning his service, held a sign in 2004 claiming to be an Afghanistan War veteran. Even having an already low opinion of Tim Walz, I still couldn't believe my eyes. Tim Walz held a sign at a protest outside a President Bush campaign rally (the very same rally he claims to have had his conversion at) claiming to be an "Enduring Freedom Veterans for Kerry."
There are two medals that have been awarded to soldiers who served in Operation Enduring Freedom-the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal (authorized by Executive Order on March 13, 2003) and the Afghanistan Campaign Medal (authorized by Congress on May 28, 2004). Congressman Walz does not qualify to wear either one.
Yet in this photo taken by Michael Brodkorb on his way to the Mankato Bush rally and posted last year on Minnesota Democrats Exposed, then National Guardsman Command Sergeant Major Tim Walz claimed to be a veteran of a war he didn't fight in.
Remember, Tim Walz's statement is that he re-enlisted after Sep 11, 2001 for 4 more years and did not retire until he decided to run for Congress (some time after this picture was taken). So he was almost certainly still a member of the MN National Guard when he held this fraudulent sign.
So the question becomes, how wrong is this? How bad is it to claim to be an Operation Enduring Freedom veteran when you are not? Reference the Stolen Valor Act of 2005:
False Claims About Receipt of Military Medals- Whoever falsely represents himself or herself, verbally or in writing, to have been awarded any decoration or medal authorized by Congress for the armed forces of the United States, or any of the service medals or badges awarded to the members of such forces, or the ribbon, button, or rosette of any such badge, decoration or medal, or any colorable imitation thereof shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.' (Emphasis mine)
As my kids would say, "Ruh Roh Raggy".
Fortunately for Congressman Walz, the Stolen Valor Act wasn't passed until January of 2006. But there is no way for Congressman Walz to spin this photo or explain his way out of it. He claimed in writing to be an Enduring Freedom vet and he is not.
