Nothing says spontaneous like professional signs!

The primary concern for me is that the RNC is blind to the power of the Democrat Socialists who will use this system for election interference. The socialists are to the DNC as MAGA was to the RNC. Now the socialists have Mamdani as their Trumpian figure and 3 years is insufficient for him to bring on disaster in NYC. Jeez, I wish we still had Charlie Kirk. . .

I learn so much from your pieces. Personally the NGOs should be gone. All tax exemptions should be eliminated. No taxpayer money should be used to support an ideology, an antiAmerican agenda. You want to use your own money, be my guest. Mine, absolutely not. And if you are so against America, you are in the wrong country. I see the flaws, and things that need to be taken care of and fixed, but I do not want to live anywhere else in this world.

You want people to cry at your funeral, don’t you? 🤣

Actually I don't. I've told my children and my grandchildren this. You celebrate a life well lived. I've tried to pass on the values and ethics and morals of what I was taught from family, from Angels that walked into my life. I'm ordinary, nothing more. I want them to remember what they were taught and to pass it on. So no I don't want crying or sadness. We were not meant to live forever in our bodies, that is temporary.

You can pay people to laugh and part at your funeral if you don’t want the to cry.

Time to indict Singman and his use of billions to pay anti-US protests as an act of aggression against our country.

Brilliant exegesis; every single American should read this piece.

What strikes me is how these protests defend a position that's legally indefensible. The protesters claim the arrest was "illegal," but they're ignoring: Maduro's 2020 federal narco-terrorism indictment, the withdrawal of U.S. recognition (no immunity), the Noriega precedent from 1989, the unconventional warfare doctrine that applies when a hostile regime kills 100K+ Americans annually with fentanyl. The astroturf machinery you've exposed isn't just manufacturing outrage—it's manufacturing a false legal narrative. When ChatGPT and Grok were asked about the constitutional authority for the arrest, both gave incomplete answers that omitted these key frameworks.

I explored this constitutional dimension at De Jure Media, building on your excellent legal analysis from your earlier piece. The combination of your work on recognition doctrine and the unconventional warfare framework makes the case airtight.

The real story here: a well-funded network is defending a narco-terrorist dictator by exploiting Americans' unfamiliarity with the actual legal framework. Your piece exposes the "who" and "how." The constitutional analysis exposes the "why it doesn't matter."

Crowds for hire are a lucrative business. The printed signs are a dead giveaway. A California company, Crowds on Demand, pays $100 a day and in cash.

It’s far left commies, plain and simple. Same people behind pro-Palestinians and pro-BLM protests.

Miguel, your comment exposes the crux of the issue. There is great reason to have NGOs because government is often not capable of addressing problems efficiently. Look at FEMA response, and we all know that NGOs are often much better at getting in and solving the immediate needs of a community.

“The cause changes. The enemy does not. The enemy is America, its institutions, its alliances, and its claim to moral legitimacy.” I would add, “only, or at least particularly, when it is a Republican administration, and most certainly when it is Trumps”.

Imagine siding with a narco terrorist drug dealer, over the safety and security of your own country! These people are our enemies that are within

Why there is not a concerted effort by the Treasury and the IRS to end the tax deferred status of ALL NGO’s - like yesterday - I do not know.

Maybe something like that is actually in the works, but, hey: tick-tock!!

All these NGOs must loose their 501 C 3 tax exempt status! If they want to protest, do it on their own dime

This is just another reason why I believe all the NGO’s should be permanently defunded by whatever means necessary!

NGOs should be barred from government funding. How can they be nongovernmental AND receive public funding?

Any Non Government Organization that is reliant on government money is a government organization with a false storefront.

Aren’t there laws against false advertising? I believe this is the criminal act known as fraud.
