  • Americans Love What the Save America Act Would Deliver, so Why Can’t Republicans Get It Passed?
    The SAVE America Act requires documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote and photo ID to cast a ballot in federal elections — a standard supported by approximately 80% of Americans across party lines.The bill passed the House with near-unanimous Republican support, and now holds 50 Senate votes — a simple majority — but is blocked by the Senate's 60-vote filibuster threshold, requiring at least seven Democrats to cross the aisle.Senate Democrats are uniformly opposed, with Minority Leader Chuck Schumer branding the bill "Jim Crow 2.0," while offering no serious engagement with the legislation's core principle that only citizens should vote in American elections.Senate Majority Leader John Thune has acknowledged the math problem bluntly, while conservative senators Mike Lee, Rick Scott, Josh Hawley, and — in a notable reversal — John Cornyn have pushed aggressively for procedural solutions including a talking filibuster or rule changes.Opponents argue the bill creates unnecessary barriers for millions of Americans lacking documentation, but critics of that position note the same objectors routinely accept ID requirements for travel, firearms purchases, and government services without complaint.The article frames election integrity as both a constitutional imperative rooted in the Founders' vision of a citizen republic and a moral obligation grounded in Scripture, arguing that a nation unable to verify its own voters has abandoned basic just governance.The Senate Republican majority now faces a defining credibility test: use every available procedural tool to pass legislation the American people overwhelmingly support, or allow institutional inertia and Democratic obstruction to once again defeat common-sense reform.Read More: https://americafirstreport.com/americans-love-what-the-save-america-act-would-deliver-so-why-cant-republicans-get-it-passed/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

  • American Christians Are Waning, John Thune Is Failing, and Preppers Should Look at Silver

    Christianity is, for the first time in American history, not being actively acknowledged by a majority of Americans. This isn't necessarily a bad thing when we consider the lukewarm nature of churches in America in recent decades. It's better to have fewer who are more dedicated to the faith than a bunch of people who claim it for social reason.

    Then, there's the filibusters. Between the SAVE America Act being left hanging and the shutdown of DHS that continues unabated, it's time for Senate Majority Leader John Thune to rally his caucus behind ending the filibuster altogether. A "talking filibuster" simply won't work and could actually do damage before the midterms.

    In the last segment, I spoke to precious metals expert Ira Bershatsky from https://advisorbullion.com to go over the American economy in general, but as things often do in JD's world the conversation shifted to preparedness.

  • The New Ayatollah Is Worse Than His Father, so What Will President Trump Do Next?
    Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, was named Iran's third Supreme Leader on March 8, 2026, just ten days after U.S.-Israeli strikes killed his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

    The Assembly of Experts announced his selection in a "decisive vote," though the process was marked by significant IRGC pressure and internal dissent among clerical members.

    Mojtaba holds only the mid-level clerical rank of hojjatoleslam — not ayatollah — a legitimacy issue his father resolved by having the law changed; a similar workaround is expected.

    President Trump openly called the selection "unacceptable," warned Mojtaba would "not last long" without U.S. approval, and characterized him as a "lightweight."

    Mojtaba has deep ties to the IRGC dating back to his service in the Iran-Iraq War, and is widely believed to have personally supervised the violent crackdown on Green Movement protesters in 2009.

    A year-long Bloomberg investigation revealed Mojtaba controls a global real estate and financial empire worth hundreds of millions of dollars, structured through shell companies and intermediaries across London, Dubai, and Europe.

    Analysts expect Mojtaba to be more hardline than his father, more reliant on the IRGC, and unlikely to pursue meaningful compromise with the West in the near term.

  • Tony Gonazales, Demonic Forces in AI, John Cornyn, Stagflation, Anthropic’s Follies, and More

    Tony Gonzales had dropped out of his congressional race, but is that enough? Should he be stepping down from Congress altogether even though it would make it even harder for Republicans the rest of the year?

    Artificial intelligence is giving people very bad advice, often resulting in dire consequences. Knowing that there are, at the very least, glitches in the system that can cause harm, what should we do? And what if those glitches are demonic or otherwise malevolent in nature? Can we still use it?

    There are plenty of reasons to not support John Cornyn in the upcoming Republican runoff for U.S. Senate in Texas. We addressed 10.

    Stagflation is here. Despite all of the tremendous efforts by President Donald Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, the economy is struggling to be beneficial to everyday Americans. What can we do to adjust?

    Anthropic's CEO made mistakes. Most importantly, he decided that it was important to call out the President and other AI companies in an internal memo. Sadly for him, the memo was leaked and now he's scrambling to fix the debacle.

    We cover all of this and more on today's episode of The JD Rucker Show.

  • 10 Ways John Cornyn Has Stabbed President Trump, MAGA, and America in the Back
    In this The Federalist article, the outlet outlines a series of decisions by Texas Sen. John Cornyn that critics argue put him at odds with President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement.
    • The article lists ten instances where Cornyn allegedly sided with establishment Republicans or Democrats on issues that MAGA voters prioritized.
    • One of the most prominent examples cited is Cornyn’s role in negotiating the 2022 bipartisan gun control package after the Uvalde shooting, which many conservatives opposed.
    • The piece also highlights Cornyn’s support for large foreign aid packages and spending bills that critics say contradicted the fiscal restraint favored by many Trump supporters.
    • Cornyn is accused of backing or defending Senate Republican leadership decisions that MAGA activists view as insufficiently aligned with Trump’s agenda.
    • The article points to moments when Cornyn criticized Trump directly or appeared hesitant to support the former president during key political conflicts.
    • It also notes Cornyn’s positions on immigration and border policy that critics say were weaker than the stricter enforcement approach promoted by Trump.
    • The outlet argues that Cornyn represents the older “establishment” wing of the GOP that MAGA voters increasingly distrust.
    • Supporters of Cornyn counter that his votes reflected pragmatic governance and the realities of legislating in the Senate.

  • Comer Brings in More Big Names for Interviews in Epstein Probe but Is Anyone Ever Going to Jail
    House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has called for seven high-profile individuals to appear before his panel for transcribed interviews related to their connections with the late Jeffrey Epstein. Among those summoned are Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, Gateway, Inc. founder Ted Waitt, and private equity investor Leon Black, with proposed testimony dates scheduled between April and May. The remaining four called to appear are Kathryn Ruemmler, Lesley Groff, Sarah Kellen, and Doug Band.

    The move came on the same day Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick agreed to testify before the committee regarding his own ties to Epstein, after admitting he had lunch with the convicted sex offender in 2012. Chairman Comer has made clear that the Oversight Committee is committed to seeking the full truth — both for Epstein's survivors and for the American public.

    The probe represents a broader congressional push to map the extent of Epstein's powerful network and bring some measure of accountability to those connected to his crimes.

    However, as JD discusses on the latest episode of America First Report, it is deeply frustrating that meaningful consequences for those involved remain unlikely. Yet as he reminds listeners, even when earthly justice falls short, we can rest assured that a higher judgment awaits — and no one ultimately escapes accountability before God.

  • Defending the Iran War, Tariff Follies, and Muslims Think Trump Is Their 'Antichrist'

    JD Rucker tackles the reasoning behind the war in Iran and why President Trump is fully justified to put us there. Then, Rucker discusses the most recent ruling about his tariffs and why not all companies are going to be asking for refunds.

    Mike Johnson says preemptive strike stopped ‘staggering’ US casualties - https://www.foxnews.com/live-news/iran-war-trump-israel-khamenei-march-2

    “Israel was determined to act in their own defense here, with or without American support,” he said. “Israel faced what they deemed to be an existential threat. Iran was building missiles at a radical, and at a rapid clip, to the point where our allies in the region could not keep up, as you know, Iran, has, long vowed to take out Israel, wipe it off the map.”

    “Because Israel was determined to act with or without the US, our commander in chief and the administration and the officials…had to evaluate the threats to the US, to our troops, to our installations, to our assets in the region and beyond,” Johnson continued. “If Iran had begun to fire all of their missile arsenal – short and mid-range missiles – at our personnel and our assets and our installations, we would have suffered staggering losses, and if we had waited to respond before acting first, then those losses would have been far greater than if we had done what we did. That was their decision.”
