No paywall for me. Great article. I just hope they don't take the rest of us down with them.

No paywall for me, but it doesn’t have Sasha’s lovely voice. And instead of pop culture videos, the article is peppered with geriatric health aids. LOL!

You need a better browser. No geriatric ads for me.

Paywall still up. No worries, I am just glad you are finally getting something for the risk you have undertaken.

That was superbly written Sasha! I am thrilled to see that you are finally getting the recognition you so rightly deserve. Truth will always win out. It has just been a very long time coming. I grieve for the painful price you have personally had to pay for standing up for truth! God bless you!

I was not restricted by the paywall. Good article, I hope many will read it.

It's certainly depressing to see what is happening to our country. The fact that they pay for it with our tax money infuriates me to no end! I'm really not sure how to combat this, violence is not the way but how do you answer violence coming at you? Hoping for the best won't do it either.

Well written Sasha. The Dems are now truly the pits! But MAGA folks and everyone else needs to be extra careful. Free speech and our privacy rights appear to be under attack from all sides.

The deep state creeps at the top of the pyramid are very cleaver and have control of unlimited wealth and power. They will call political criticism “hate speech” and digital ID’s “safety tools” in such a way that the average person can’t see that they’re being led into a trap.

The globalist cabal doesn’t care if you look right or left. All they seemed concerned with is that you don’t see what they’re up to. Or what you say about it. And of course that they can control your every move.

Extremely good point. The really important distinction is not left/right or Dem/Rep, it is between the “globalist cabal” and the rest of us who are being herded into a digital neo-feudalism. We must find a way to cooperate to resist that cabal. Right now, of course, the cabal does work more with the leftist Dems, but on the right we must resist the temptation to accept restrictions on our basic freedoms as part of our resistance to the Dems.

I’ve been saying for a long time that one of the keys is to build a new economy. One that places human freedom and real prosperity (not just dollars and cents) as the highest value of all. While the elites want to use blockchain to control everything using CBDC, there are likely much better ways for it to be a vehicle for all humanity to benefit. I don’t know the answers but do know we are far more capable than the way we’ve been going.

I subscribed to the Examiner until it went anti-Trump during the 2016 election season. Has it come around?

Anyway, that’s a superb article. I’m glad your story and common sense opinions are getting wider attention.

I see that the influential powerlineblog has been republishing some of your content.

It is your best piece yet, Sasha. I just may print and frame it and hang it on my refrigerator because it encapsulates all my feelings about my former party.

Excellent and pointed essay, Sasha. I am so happy to see you being able to write and publish in the open realm again!

Superb piece. Were they still with us, a lot of Builder Generation (born around World War I) Democrats would agree with you. May your tribe increase, Ms. Sasha.

Fantastic! Because of your article, I followed the Examiner on X today. @dcexaminer

The Democrats are like a glacier calving. With each week of news Democrats are calving into the ocean of Independents. The latest has to be Sombrero Gate with Trump taking the comedic high ground and Democrats responding with indignation that deserves a Saturday Night Live skit.

"The truth is that Democrats have become everything they pretend to fight against." So sadly true. Great piece, Sasha!

Brilliant- as always. Very grateful for a someone who’s journey mirrors mine… I voted Republican for the first time in 2016 with DJT. Never looked back. It’s a hive mind of insanity.

I voted democrat once. Jimmy Carter 50 yrs ago. That was a lesson that has lasted a lifetime

Same here. I had just turned 20 and was raised in a Democrat family. As Carter's total incompetency became clear, I began to realize that I couldn't be a Democrat any longer. God bless Ronald Reagan! (And Donald Trump!!)

Nice job, Sasha. The Examiner article deserves wide distribution. I wonder what the Dems/Left response would be--other than to call you a Nazi, bigot, etc.

Keep on.
