The Los Angeles mayoral primary is the latest, most cartoonish exhibition in a long and accelerating line of successful attempts to subvert American democracy in real time and in full public view.
The mechanics are familiar: a mail-in system with extended windows, results that 'evolve' over days and weeks and the same counting choreography that has defined contested cycles since 2020 (and obviously long before.)
The only thing that has changed in the interim has been the brazenness with which it now occurs under a sitting president who has spent years calling out the same machine.
Donald Trump, tribune of a people among whom only some are increasingly unwilling to pretend the theater is legitimate has called the theft what it is.
Elon Musk has amplified his signal.
In response, the Media Industrial Complex has deployed its standard script: “unsubstantiated,” “normal process,” “conspiracy theory.”
The same institutions that spent years insisting 2020 was the most secure election in history now lecture the public on the statistical inevitability of their fraud.
Investigations aside, the pattern-recognition required to connect the dots is not complex, and it does not take digital soldiers to accomplish.
At Badlands Media, my friends and I have been demonized for years—not primarily by legacy outlets, but by large segments of the so-called Truth Community—for refusing to declare the American election system verifiable or in any way legitimate.
Trump’s victory in November 2024 did not disprove or negate this stance.
As we argued on election night, it rather supplied narrative shielding for the very apparatus now running dress rehearsals ahead of the 2026 midterms, and through no fault of Trump's, who knew the machine was willing to suffer a deferrment to another Trump win if it meant keeping the System alive.
The fraud does not require every race to flip; it only requires that enough races remain controllable, that enough citizens continue participating in the ritual and that enough voices in the 'awake' spaces continue policing the boundaries of acceptable skepticism on the most important topic in the Info War, and thus, the one the fewest are willing to forward a First Principles-stance regarding.
If you have spent the last six years defending the integrity of American elections, or attacking those who label them rigged, fake or structurally fraudulent—while simultaneously demonizing the same people for refusing to lend their consent to the charade Trump has identified since 2020—then you are not merely mistaken, you are functionally aligned with the preservation of the system as it operates, and the very one Trump has been trying to cultivate the collective mandate to dismantle for a decade and more.
Belief that the election apparatus is fundamentally fraudulent comes at the end of a logical sequence, and participation in that apparatus codifies its legitimacy.
This is the only coherent position.
Only by making that position explicit, widespread and impossible to ignore does Donald Trump receive the popular mandate he has requested for years to confront this machinery directly, and on our behalf.
Without that mandate, which many Truthers have knowingly or accidentally attempted to deprive Trump of because doing so requires them to call ALL elections fake, including those we 'win,' reform remains aspirational, and the charade continues unabated.
And yet, the deeper problem is not that elections can be stolen.
It is that Americans, including many who consider themselves awake remain psychologically captured by the election cycle itself.
The perpetual horse race—primaries, midterms, the next presidential contest—functions as a sophisticated PsyOp, keeping attention fixed on who occupies the offices while the offices themselves continue to operate far outside constitutional constraints and in violation of the God-given rights they were instituted to secure.
The government’s illegitimacy does not begin or end at the ballot box. It is demonstrated daily in the routine tyranny of a corrupt class of psycopaths and miscreants who would and have lorded over us for generations.
The United States is hardly alone in conducting supposedly free, fair and democratic elections.
Dozens of nations claim the same procedures and produce similarly-managed (ie: fraudulent) outcomes every year.
If participation in this ritual is what renders a country exceptional, then the claim to American exceptionalism collapses under the weight of its own argument.
The question is not, then whether or not our elections are legitimate.
The question is whether the government in its current form is, no matter what apparatus put it in place.
The mandate Trump seeks will only be granted when enough people refuse to grant the ritual or its priesthood the dignity of legitimacy, and instead demand the actual disentanglement of sovereign power from the cartel that currently administers it.
@GregoryKBovino@NumbersUSA Congress is wholly illegitimate. Let's clear these criminals out, put them in prison (or something much harsher), and then get on with our deportations. Total clean up
I've seen underwriters hold a family's loan up for a bank account deposit of a few thousand bucks... from a family member @SecScottBessent
We have hundreds of thousands of dollars being passed between 5 San Diego "non-profits" and more than 2000 non-profits doing this in San Diego to the tune of $1B annually(conservatively).
Observe the pattern…
H-1B flood hits Texas suburbs.
Housing demand spikes, prices rocket.
Builders, agents, lenders, and the immigrants got RICH.
Who got rich… and who got priced out?
Your kids watched starter homes become unaffordable bidding wars. Schools and neighborhoods changed fast. American Dream delayed.
Let’s reverse it, folks!
Mass deportation AND H-1B crackdown.
Prices will drop, cheaper housing for our kids, and less pressure on schools?
Americans benefit when the system tilts back toward citizens.
Media calls it a tragedy. I call it math.
Who are they protecting?
Steve Hilton, a foreigner, was the former Director of Strategy for UK Prime Minister David Cameron. Then he moved to America, changed citizenship, became a Fox News host, and is now attempting to "win" a fake election to become California's governor, like a modern-day Arnold Schwarzenegger.
He also joined JD! Vance, Thomas Massie, Chip Roy, Ben Shapiro, and Ted Cruz in the ConInc, "Look! Now I have a beard so I am a based'n'redpilled chad who listens to podcast and loves owning the libs on Twitter. Vote for me!" club. No, he is not just "obviously a different guy."
His wife was an aide to the Conservative Party leader in the UK. She was former head of communications at Google, held a similar VP role at Uber, and now does the same for Netflix. She does public relations for a living.

Most of the intelligence network tied to the Transnational Crime Syndicate that was running the Executive Branch from The Shadows until just the last 15 months set up numerous slush funds inside of our government over the past 50 years.
Many of the slush fund/theft/money laundering shenanigans were going on at FHFA, via Fannie and Freddie.
While most of the attention was focused like a laser on USAid, Pulte was quietly taking some the BIGGEST slush funds away from the cabal at FHFA.
He just spent the last year with the help of AI investigators tracing the fraud money, shutting down the fraud, mapping out the criminal networks.
Nobody is better at setting up false front LLCs to facilitate shady criminal off-the-books shit than our intrepid 17 intelligence agencies.
Do I have to draw you a picture here?
Watch the fireworks as he assumes command of the agencies he's about to destroy.
How many times have I told you our Congress and Courts and even at a much marginal level now [after a year and a half of HOUSE CLEANING] our Executive Branch, is riddled chock full of and filled to the gills and stuffed to the brim with INTELLIGENCE ASSETS?
HOW MANY TIMES have I told you what an absolutely fuckin' TRAVESTY it is that undercover/disguised/sheep-dipped CIA agents like ADAM SCHIFF are still ALLOWED to 'run for office' and 'win' a seat in the House or the Senate, where they PRETEND to exercise 'oversight' over the fuckin' intelligence agencies?
THAT'S.
NOT.
WHAT.
THEY'VE.
BEEN.
DOING.
Your faithful and intrepid 'elected' Senators and House Reps. 'exercising oversight over the intelligence agencies' is the BIGGEST FUCKIN' ILLUSION EVER FOISTED ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
WHAT fucking oversight of the intelligence? What is this 'oversight' of which you babble to me?
There's no oversight. The intelligence agencies own undercover agents and assets ARE SITTING IN THE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEES.
Please tell me your not still falling for this corrupt shit?
The reason all these Senators and House Reps who sit on those important 'oversight committees' are freaking out over this latest move by Trump in appointing Pulte to the DNI office is because they KNOW what Pulte just spent the last year DOING to their hidden and secret and illegal intelligence agency slush funds.
THEY KNOW.
THEY KNOW WHAT HE'S BEEN DOING.
He already shut down the FHFA end of the slush fund pipeline. Now he's going to the DNI's Office because Tulsi's departure opened a door for Trump to put him DIRECTLY IN CHARGE over all of these intelligence agencies as he oversees the shutting down of the OTHER END of the pipeline.
And NONE of the fake Congressmen who are really intelligence agents/assets [domestic and foreign] want to see that happen.
Tulsi cleaned the house and did the declasses in regard to a lot of things. But for the next step, it's best for the guy with intimate knowledge how all these hidden NGO/LLC slush funds hidden in the FHFA got there, which agencies controlled them, and what changes to the structure of these agencies need to be made to permanently prevent any reoccurrence of any of this shit.
Consolidation.
There's a reason the current theater at DHS with Mullin and Bovino is going on, while Kristi Noem literally dropped off the radar while 'Shield of the Americas' a 17 nation military alliance - is literally shredding the cartels in Ecuador, Columbia, Honduras, Mexico, and elsewhere, 80% of never shown to you.
Trump's about to evict certain criminal elements completely out of the entire American hemisphere. That 'Donroe Doctrine' is not a joke. People should be able to see at this point he is 100% serious about it.
Now while all this absolutely WILD stuff is dropped out of the DNI's office for the next 4 weeks, Tulsi will be indisposed, taking care of her very sick husband. They can't yell at her and trying to sue her in court to stop this won't accomplish anything.
Suddenly, the people fighting behind the scenes to keep all this shit hidden have to switch targets in mid-stream. Tulsi to Pulte.
And Pulte is a literal cypher.
Changing your network target in mid-stream as you try to limit the fallout of what's coming is not as easy to do as some people are claiming to you.
How successful has the network been at stopping/taking down Todd Blanche and Kash Patel thus far?
Since Bongino left once his job was done, and Bondi departed to fight her thyroid cancer, and then magically shows up with a new job that is AI related?
Remember how I told you for 2 months now when you saw what Bondi's 'new' job is, new vistas of understanding would open up for some of you?
You know who's been taking down the massive coordinated hidden NGO fraud/theft/crime networks of a literal HYDRA transnational crime syndicate embedded throughout the entire civilized world?
And they've been AI to map out/trace/shut down/destroy/seize assets for a year now, mostly on the downlow while all that money that used to be sent to these ghouls is being stopped/seized/redirected into doing stuff like, oh, I don't know, I'm just sp[[[i]]]balling here, fixing all the decayed/destroyed parks and national monuments around Washington DC?
Elon Musk, Pam Bondi, Kristi Noem, Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, and Todd Blanche.
AI is all up in their shit and they can't hide these massive networks any longer. The sheer SIZE and AMOUNT of the theft/moneylaundering and the WORLDWIDE SCOPE OF IT used to actually protect the criminals.
Now it doesn't.
2/3rds of the International Shadow Government they constructed over the past 100+ years is run by 'NGOs'. That's 'non-governmental organization' for those of you in Rio Linda.
They HID two thirds of their massive Shadow Government out of sight here and overseas inside of NGOs they PINKY SWORE TO YOU were private entities, and certainly not organized crime fronts. Many of them CIA/USAid.
In fact, those 'NGO's were a rhetorical trick name. They were OUTSOURCING to secret off-[t]he books entities all the illegal shit they couldn't do openly themselves.
They've been GIVING your money to secretive 'private' organizations to secretly do criminal shit for them all over da world.
Like plan and execute mass migrations, start wars, exacerbate conflicts, rig elections, launch plandemics, overthrow governments, do coups, run human/drug/uranium trafficking networks using NGOs like, oh I don't know, I'm just spitballing again here for no reason, The Red Cross.
How do you CLEARLY SIGNAL a massive FUCK YOU to the people who formerly had control of the Executive Branch of our federal government, and are in the process of losing more and more control every damn day?
You clean up DC to show them they don't own it any longer.
We do.
And then you do a massive FUCK YOU, CITY OF LONDON HYDRA CRIME SYNDICATE NATIONAL CELEBRATION at the NEW AMERICAN WHITE HOUSE YOU TOOK AWAY FROM THEM.
Ain't life grand?
@adamcarolla Agreed. Then let's stop referring to them as Incompetent, and refer to them as Intentional state terrorists. Not a single one of these ghouls are Voted in, they are installed for the systematic destruction of this state & country
@SuperBasedInCa@adamcarolla Adam has been a total fag for Caruso for years as well, despite all the evidence of him being a globalist and a true leftist. Adam still thinks "California leaders" are incompetent, as opposed to understanding they are completely illegitimate and corrupt
It's quickly becoming time to take the gloves off.
In the 1990s, there was a lieutenant colonel in the United States Air Force named #BuzzPatterson who was appointed to become presidential military aide to President Bill Clinton which meant that he carried the "nuclear football" which holds the codes to deploy and launch U.S. nuclear missiles under presidential authority.
Pretty heavy stuff. The codes to unleash Armageddon on the world.
@BuzzPatterson retired from the Air Force in 2001 to become an author and speech giver where he usually took great effort to ridicule, demean, and condemn President Clinton as unfit.
Patterson believed that a former law professor, attorney general and governor of Arkansas was a joke and never qualified to be president of the United States.
Fast forward to 2026. Initially, Patterson endorsed Sheriff #ChadBianco on this very X platform to be governor of California. Within a very short time, literally days, Patterson oddly and without explanation, reversed that position and re-endorsed #SteveHilton (real last name Hircsak) to be governor of California.
Hilton/Hircsak has never held political office anywhere in the world. His resume is limited to being a political hack and clean-up crew flunky in David Cameron's England, a talking head on Fox News, and a showman for an extreme far-Left fund-raising organization called #CrowdPak that raised millions for BLM, Antifa, and Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.
Hilton/Hircsak has no qualifications to run for the office of governor of California. The closest Hilton/Hircsak has ever gotten to professionally managing *ANYONE* was a backstage station crew on FOX TV.
Today, in his short 6-week campaign for the June California primary, Hilton/Hircsak has only shown a talent for bankrupting his campaign. He is now $2 million in debt and only keeping his head above water with the donations of heavyweight Democrats.
Yesterday, Mr. Patterson called on Sheriff @ChadBianco, a man with 33 years of public service, an experienced elected office holder, and a man who runs a $1 billion dollar government operation to step down and exit the race. Patterson believes that a man named in the Epstein files, a man completely unqualified to even run for a city council seat should run unopposed to advance to the California November general election.
Let's put this in clearer terms. Patterson argues that a law professor, an attorney general, and a former governor was never qualified to be president. But a man who has never held *ANY* real job in his life should be red carpeted into the governor's office in the largest state in the United States and the 4th largest economy in the world. A man, by the way, who wasn't even a United States citizen until very recently.
A man who has never managed a shift crew at McDonalds. Never held public office. Has zero qualifications. A man who dresses in ridiculously tight pants and wears full assortments of girly bracelets on both his wrists everyday should lead California in a time of crisis.
There are clearly ulterior motives here. We don't know what those are. What incentives have been extended to Mr. Patterson for his blind allegiance. But it does not pass any smell test to condemn a former president with ridicule and insults while promoting and propagandizing for another man who would have real trouble getting a job running a Walmart store.
Patterson is way out of line. He uses a phony poll as a stage prop. Ask yourselves why, if his cute girly bracelet wearing friend Mr. Hilton/Hircsak has rocketed to the heights of popularity and is out pacing every other candidate in the race of both parties, why would he care about someone he claims is at the bottom of popularity?
Unless it's all really just bullshit.
