    (The Center Square) — Connecticut's top election official is calling for reforms in the wake of a ballot stuffing scandal in Bridgeport's mayoral race, where some people were allegedly paid cash to fill out mail ballots. Secretary of State Stephanie Thomas said her office had referred allegations about election "malfeasance" in the February redo of the mayoral race to the State Elections Enforcement Commission to investigate, including reports from voters who received absentee ballots despite not requesting them. “When alerted, the Secretary of the State’s Office is required to send allegations of election malfeasance to SEEC for their review and...

    Former Trump White House adviser Peter Navarro must report to prison on Tuesday as scheduled, after the Supreme Court on Monday denied the stay of his sentence. Chief Justice John Roberts, in a short opinion, wrote that he saw "no reason to disagree" with lower courts, which also rejected Navarro's request. Navarro's appeal on the merits remains pending, but he will have to begin serving his sentence in the meantime. Navarro was ordered on March 11 to report to prison in Miami on Tuesday, to serve a four-month sentence. He was convicted in September of two counts of contempt of...

    Special counsel Robert Hur testified on Tuesday that the White House attempted to pressure him into changing aspects of his report on President Biden’s mishandling of classified documents.The revelation came during Hur’s testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, in which Rep. Tom Tiffany, R-Wis., probed the special counsel head about a Feb. 5 letter the White House Counsel sent to Hur days before his report became public. When Tiffany asked whether the White House requested he “change [the report’s] references to the president’s poor memory,” Hur confirmed the administration did, in fact, make such a request. “There was a request,...

    Former President Donald Trump is directly calling for the imprisonment of nine of his political opponents — including former Congresswoman Liz Cheney. In a post on his Truth Social platform Sunday, Trump shared an article from far-right writer John Solomon which alleged that the Jan. 6 committee “withheld crucial evidence” in its probe by not releasing the testimony of a Secret Service agent who drove Trump’s limo on Jan. 6. The driver notably disputed the account of former White House staffer Cassidy Hutchinson — who claimed Trump tried to grab the steering wheel of the limo in an effort to...

    Hunter Biden and his associates, in their foray into the world of international deal-making, worked with a rogue’s gallery of foreign partners who were under investigation in their home countries or were convicted in the United States. In certain cases, the Biden team appeared to use this to their advantage, extracting concessions in exchange for assistance in the United States. “The Biden's would do anything they could to try to obtain money from desperate people. If you look, the one thing everyone has in common, who wired…Hunter Biden or Jim Biden money, the one thing they all had in common...

    How Did American Capitalism Mutate Into American Corporatism?In the 1990s and for years into our century, it was common to ridicule the government for being technologically backwards. We were all gaining access to fabulous things, including webs, apps, search tools, and social media. But governments at all levels were stuck in the past using IBM mainframes and large floppy disks. We had a great time poking fun at them. I recall the days of thinking government would never catch up to the glories and might of the market itself. I wrote several books on it, full of techno-optimism. The new...

    The Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network sees little difference between cryptocurrency transactions that may be tied to Hamas and banking services for U.S. groups that advocate for religious liberty, immigration restrictions and a "watchful waiting" approach to pediatric gender confusion. That's the impression from FinCEN's email to large banks and financial institutions including Western Union and PayPal, urging them to review a "hate group" report and "hate symbol" database by progressive activists in the context of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. The House Judiciary Committee and its Weaponization of the Federal Government published the Jan. 16, 2021 email...

    Let's begin with this premise: Former Hunter Biden business partner Tony Bobulinski remains on a quest to reveal the truth about the Biden Family Business and associated influence peddling. On the other hand, Joe and Hunter Biden continue to run from the truth as fast and as often as they can.That is if you believe the sworn testimony of Bobulinski, which I do. First, let's catch up a bit. As we reported on February 28, Hunter Biden, after months of performing an evasive kabuki dance, finally testified before the House Oversight and House Judiciary Committees — behind closed doors —...

    House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) reportedly said the House of Representatives would cobble together a Ukraine aid bill while speaking with Republican senators on Wednesday during a retreat on Capitol Hill. The Hill’s Alexander Bolton reported on the conversations that occurred at the Library of Congress during the annual Republican Senate retreat and emphasized the speaker “cautioned that what comes out of the House will look substantially different than the $95 billion foreign aid package the Senate passed last month.” Per Bolton, Johnson suggested a lend-and-lease program during the meeting but did not mention whether border security measures would be...
  • Opioid Overdose Antidotes to Be Available in Schools, on Planes Biden administration announces plan as drug deaths linked to fentanyl and other narcotics exceed 109,000 annually in the United States.

    Amid a national epidemic of opioid overdose deaths, the Biden administration has launched an initiative to distribute naloxone-based antidotes widely, including in schools and on airplanes. In a statement announcing the “Challenge to Save Lives from Overdose,” the White House described it as “a nationwide call-to-action to stakeholders across all sectors to save lives by committing to increase both training and access to lifesaving opioid overdose reversal medications.” Often sold under the brand name Narcan, and carried by many first responders, naloxone rapidly reverses an opioid overdose. “An overdose can happen anywhere, to anyone,” the White House said. “That’s why...

    Senator Bernie Sanders is introducing legislation that would change working hours for millions of Americans. Sanders, an independent senator representing Vermont, announced he plans to file a bill that would establish the 32-hour workweek as standard across the United States, while mandating that workers do not lose pay. In a press release on Wednesday, Sanders argued fewer working hours would be necessary to ensure recent technological advances, such as automation and artificial intelligence "benefit the working class, not just corporate CEOs and wealthy stockholders on Wall Street."

    The transcripts of President Biden’s interviews with Special Counsel Robert Hur have been released in anticipation of Hur’s testimony today before the House Judiciary Committee. The interviews cover two days: October 8, 2023 and the October 9, 2023. And already, the media has seized upon a line of attack against Hur: that Biden wasn’t confused about the year of his son’s death, that Biden was lucid and clear and that Hur misrepresented Biden’s statements and his state of mind. But that isn’t the truth. The transcripts, in fact, show Biden struggling with basic facts. The year his son Beau died....

    Here’s what’s actually going on with the TikTok fight right now. Deep State toadies are taking advantage of anti-China sentiment to transfer TikTok’s surveillance apparatus from China’s evil surveillance state to the U.S. government’s evil surveillance state. TikTok isn’t going to be banned, because neither the CCP-run Chinese government nor the CCP-owned U.S. government wants to lose such a valuable tool for spying on Americans and poisoning the minds of their children. Instead, the corrupt U.S. intelligence bureaucracy wants control of TikTok, which is why it included the divestment mandate. Only a handful of U.S. companies are capable of buying...

Few clips illustrate government corruption better than this one in which you can see the stark contrast of corruption vs integrity. And there is a chance you might be hearing a lot more from the voice of integrity in the near future, Adam Morgan, since he is now running for the U.S. House of Representatives.

    Republican congressional investigators have opened an inquiry into the extent of “collusion” between the Democrat-run House Jan. 6 committee and the Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis during her prosecution of Donald Trump. In a status report released Monday, the House Administration Oversight Subcommittee chaired by Rep. Barry. Loudermilk, R-Ga., said that it located a letter in which Willis in 2021 asked for the House Democrats to send her any evidence that would further her prosecution of Trump. The committee said it was concerned that the Democrat-run investigation led by Reps. Benny Thompson and Liz Cheney may have shared evidence...

    The House Democrat-led Jan. 6 committee withheld crucial evidence from the public, including witness interviews that conflicted with the testimony of star witness Cassidy Hutchinson and her claim then-President Donald Trump tried to commandeer his presidential SUV and take it to the U.S. Capitol that day, House Republicans declared in an explosive new report Monday. The House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight, chaired by Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., released its first findings from its year-long probe into Capitol security failures on Jan. 6, 2021, and the initial Democrat effort to investigate the incident. The report provided evidence contradicting several claims that...
