Four possible courses of action tied to the president’s address
President Trump is set to address the nation tomorrow evening on a matter of grave importance. Leaks and media coverage are all over the place, but they seem to have the range dialed in: election interference. Be mindful that engagement seekers online are willing to throw out anything to catch your attention – “this is about Georgia’s senators,” or “they found the hackers” and similar comments are everywhere. Until we hear from the man himself, all bets are off.
To my wonderful subscribers here, please understand I have no choice but to keep things at surface level today. Friday, should there be no change in plans in scheduling or plan (delayed speech, etc.), you can expect a full review of exactly what is made known to the public, with no obligation for me to continue to be cagey. As such, this article is shorter than most; still, given the subject matter, it is of vital national importance.
President Trump’s address tomorrow, assuming it provides evidence of catastrophic breaches, vulnerabilities, or interference pertaining to our election infrastructure, stands to bring out any combination of four outcomes:
I. Nothingburger
“If the left really thought a nothing burger was coming down the pipe Thursday night, they wouldn’t be using up so much damn energy trying to get in front of it, or coordinating their messaging across the entire Uniparty network of oxygen thieves.” — Seth Keshel (@RealSKeshel), July 14, 2026
The odds of this being a nothingburger or “rug pull” along the lines of digital trading cards are approximately zero percent. You can tell just by watching the preemptive defensive tactics adopted by media and leftists. We’ve heard from both Georgia senators, who were in fact illegitimately elected in 2020 when David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, despite finishing first on November 3, 2020, were artificially held below 50% and forced into runoffs, which both Democrats “won” on January 5, 2021. Whipped dogs yelp the loudest, I’m told.
In any case – a nothing burger would leave us where we are today – waiting for the next break in a court, or for the Senate to do something. The problem for the uniparty and their media water carriers is that this scenario is about as likely as the Republican nominee dropping Idaho to Kamala Harris in 2028.
II. Emergency Orders
If the president unveils irrefutable evidence that foreign powers interfered in our elections, or has the capacity to interfere in our elections (including databases, infrastructure, and/or actual voting systems), this could compel Trump to use national security powers, or any agency involved in what is being declassified to act within their statutory authority. My friend Joseph DeMott suggested an interesting course of action that doesn’t seem too far off-base:
“Let’s see if my Trump gut still works. I think Trump is going to declare of state of emergency on Thursday leading into the Save Act that was stapled to the Defense bill in the house today.” — Joseph DeMott (@josephdemottx), July 15, 2026
This feeds conveniently into the third point…
III. SAVE Momentum
Yesterday, House Republicans advanced the text of the SAVE America Act to the Senate as part of defense-funding legislation by a vote of 215 to 211. From The Hill:
The 215-211 vote delivers a key win for Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who had spent weeks trying to unify his conference as conservative hardliners pressed leadership to take more aggressive action on the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act and legislation to codify President Trump’s border policies.
There have already been rumblings that the Republican “surrender caucus” may be willing to bite the bullet in honor of Lindsey Graham to get the SAVE America Act in the rear view mirror. Compelling evidence of our election systems being compromised will provide one hundred times more pressure on the Senate to act than we’ve been able to muster thus far (and that has been a lot of pressure).
IV. Narrative: Ruined
Christopher Krebs must be on a boat to some isolated nation, given that he is the guy who gave us the lie of “the most secure election in American history” to describe the 2020 quasi election. We’ve been assured that anyone challenging the 2020 election, or any other garbage since like the Kari Lake race or Spencer Pratt’s primary effort, is arguing in bad faith and simply suffers from poor sportsmanship.
Since we were all told to believe everything the government had to say about the 2020 election so far, and were persecuted into complying with COVID-19 tyranny based on junk science and magic eight ball shakes, then I would imagine the government coming out with new documentation regarding the state of our election infrastructure must be unimpeachable, right?
It all depends on what kind of proof is made public – but I dare say the narrative of “American elections are fraud-free” is on the ventilator right now, preparing for the plug pull.
Conclusion
I wish I could say more. Media will spin and find loopholes, but I’d wager the damage has been done for good if it is made public that our elections are susceptible to outside interference. If intrusions are not only possible, but documented, we are likely to see unprecedented action taken to provide needed public confidence that we are indeed represented by a government of, by, and for the people.
Remember: Trump hasn’t given up the fight for free and fair elections, and neither should you.
