    90 Million Americans Sat Out 2024. The Midterms Are Where That Stops.

    I want you to consider something almost nobody stops to examine. In the 2024 presidential election, close to 90 million eligible Americans did not vote. One out of every three people who held the legal right to cast a ballot let that right go unused. That figure comes from the University of Florida Election Lab and the researchers who track turnout for a living. It carries no ideology. It is simply what happened. Now look at that number the way I look at an underperforming company. Ninety million people represent the single largest dormant asset in American civic life. The asset already exists. It is already paid for. It requires no new law, no new party, no new candidate, no new fundraising. It sits fully built and completely unactivated, the way a warehouse of finished inventory sits behind an owner who believes the answer is more advertising. In forty years of representing clients and in some cases, helping turn their businesses around, I found the same pattern almost every time. The owner chased something new and expensive while the highest and best use of their effort sat untouched in the next room. Here is where the leverage compounds. Midterm elections draw far fewer voters than presidential years. Fewer voters means every single ballot carries more weight, more influence, and more mathematical impact on the outcome. A vote you cast in a midterm buys you more result per unit of effort than a vote you cast in a presidential year. That is the definition of leverage, and most people walk past it. So if you are frustrated by corruption, worn down by self-dealing, and finished with conflicts of interest, and if you want to remove from office the people who enabled and continue to advance the agenda of the man now serving in the Oval Office, a man convicted on 34 felony counts and found liable by a jury for sexually abusing and defaming a woman, then understand what your effort is currently buying you. Another hour arguing online returns nothing. Zero. The activity feels like progress and produces no measurable outcome. Voting produces the outcome. Here is your assignment. Confirm your registration this week. Put the midterm date on your calendar today. Decide right now whether you vote by mail, early, or in person, and write that decision down. Then text three people you care about and walk them through the same four steps. That last step is where the multiplication happens. One activated voter is one vote. One activated voter who activates three others is a return you cannot buy with any amount of advertising. History does not belong to the loudest voice in the room. It belongs to the person who shows up. Mitch Jackson, Esq. Get full access to Uncensored Objection ™ at mitchthelawyer.substack.com/subscribe

    Donald Trump Will Resign in 2027

    Let me give you the part that cuts against me first. I could be wrong. I’m putting a prediction on video with my name attached to it, and if it doesn’t happen, you get to pull this up and laugh at me. Fair. I’ve spent 40 years cross-examining witnesses and trying cases, and I have watched very confident people be very wrong in front of a jury. Confidence isn’t evidence. So don’t take my word for it. Take the facts and check my math. Here’s what I know. Right now, things are a sh*t show. You know it, I know it, and every reasonable person voting knows it. Nobody can make him answer a single question. His party holds the House and the Senate. No subpoena gets signed. No document gets pried loose. No one with real power makes him sit down and explain anything. That protection has an expiration date. One night. November 2026. Now come with me for a second. It’s a Tuesday morning on Capitol Hill. The room runs cold, the way government buildings always do, and there’s a pitcher of ice water sweating a ring into the wood. The chairs are hard. Cameras click like insects. Somebody’s stale coffee is going bitter in a paper cup by the microphone. The red light comes on. The gavel drops. Raise your right hand. And then the questions start. About the Epstein files. About the crypto money and where it came from. About the tax arrangement. About what you pay at the pump and what you pay at the register. About the war he keeps calling finished while the bombs keep falling and Americans keep dying. Then Wednesday. Then the following week. Then month seven. Then month nineteen. Two years. Seven hundred and thirty days of somebody asking him and members of his administration questions they don’t want to answer. Now hold that against something you already know about the man. He once walked out of an interview. Got up, pulled off the mic, and left. Over one relatively simple and straightforward question. Just one question. So what do you think he does when they don’t stop? He isn’t built for it. He runs on applause and he cannot take being laughed at, and his own crowd is already turning on him. A man like that doesn’t stand there and absorb it. He starts looking for a door. He’ll dress it up, of course. Family. Golf. Mission accomplished, job well done, time to hand off the torch. He’ll say it with a straight face. You’ll know what it actually is. It’s a man leaving before the accounting. Here’s how it ends. He cuts a deal with Republican leadership and JD Vance. Vance becomes president the second the letter is signed. And Vance pays for that office with a Nixon-style pardon that wipes every federal offense off the board. I’ll be straight with you about Vance too. He is not an improvement. But he doesn’t have the show. He doesn’t have the crowd. Put him in front of the country for two years without the man who created him, and by 2028 his name is a footnote. But none of it happens on its own. Every piece of this, the subpoenas, the hearings, the deal, the exit, sits on top of one thing. And that one thing is not in his hands, or Vance’s hands, or mine. It’s in yours. Flip the House and this whole chain reaction starts. Don’t, and nothing does. That’s the entire prediction, and I’m not going to pretend it’s more complicated than that. Think of it as a line of dominoes standing on a table. Every one of them is already set. They’ve been set for months. Not one of them falls until something tips the first one, and the first one is November. November is the first domino. Your hand tips it. So do three things this week. Check your registration today. It takes two minutes and people get purged from those rolls without a phone call. Then check on the people around you. Your kid who moved apartments. Your neighbor. The guy at work who says it doesn’t matter. Then show up early, bring one person with you, and vote like it’s your future on the line. Because it is. Tell somebody this story. Tell them about the man who walked out over one question, and ask them what they think happens when there are seven hundred and thirty days of them. Then ask them if they’re registered.

    They Admitted It in Court: Trump Canceled Billions to Punish States That Voted Against Him

    The Trump administration admitted in court that it canceled billions in federal clean-energy grants based solely on whether states voted for Trump in 2024, targeting projects in states that backed Kamala Harris and had two Democratic senators, while sparing Republican states whose grants its own review had flagged for cancellation. Despite the major news networks not reporting on this story, it’s important news you should know about, and so I wanted to share the details in this quick Saturday morning video before heading out for an early morning paddle. Here’s the referenced linked document. Legal Exposure: Appropriations Clause and Impoundment Control Act: Refusing to spend funds Congress appropriated, for political reasons and outside the ICA’s procedures, is an unlawful impoundment. First Amendment political discrimination and unconstitutional conditions: Pulling federal benefits to punish political affiliation runs against the patronage-retaliation cases, though extending that individual-focused doctrine to a state’s aggregate vote is untested. Equal protection under the Fifth Amendment: Treating states differently based purely on how they voted, with the government conceding no policy justification, fits the rule that a bare desire to harm a politically unpopular group is not a legitimate purpose. Administrative Procedure Act, arbitrary and capricious and pretext: Canceling grants on a waste rationale that the filings show was actually electoral is textbook pretext, but a 2025 jurisdictional fight may force these payment claims out of district court and into the Court of Federal Claims. Take Care Clause and oath of office: Selectively refusing to execute appropriations to punish opponents violates the duty of faithful execution, though this works mainly as an impeachment theory rather than a standalone lawsuit. False statements to Congress and perjury: If the record contradicts Secretary Wright’s testimony that no decisions were political, that raises exposure under 18 U.S.C. § 1001 and, if he was sworn, § 1621, subject to a high materiality-and-intent bar. Hatch Act and executive ethics: Using official authority over grants to reward states that voted a certain way cuts against the bar on leveraging office to affect elections, though the President and Vice President are exempt and some appointees have carve-outs. Impeachment, high crimes and misdemeanors: Weaponizing the spending power to punish political opponents is an abuse-of-power theory that does not require an indictable crime and echoes the first Trump impeachment. This is something a new majority in Congress may want to review after the midterms. Before I do more of these, I have a quick question for you. Did you enjoy this video, or do you prefer my written posts? I’m thinking about sharing more videos like this whenever breaking news happens so I can give you timely analysis while the story is still unfolding. I’ll only do more of them if that’s what you want. Let me know your preference in the comments. I read them all. Thanks! Mitch Jackson, Esq. Uncensored Objection ™ is a reader-supported publication.
