California Democrats are pushing to replace the current one-time gun registration system with a once-a-year registration requirement, coupled with a fee to the state. In the bill, SB 1160, Democrats pledge to use the fee to fund the state’s gun registration system: “The bill would require the registrant to annually pay a fee, as specified, to be deposited into a special fund that is continuously appropriated to the department for the express purpose of carrying out the administration and enforcement of the firearm registry.” SB 1160 will also be used to create a new “program” focused on unregistered guns: “This...

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Following a CNY Central report that Vera House, a Syracuse-based nonprofit that helps survivors of domestic and sexual abuse, knowingly hired and employed a registered level two sex offender to work with victims, we have learned that the employee in question, Marcus Jackson, was arrested in the Town of Manlius just one day before his mutual parting of ways with the organization at the beginning of August.According to Manlius Police, Jackson was arrested and issued an appearance ticket after officers said he was caught taking copper wiring and scrap metal from a business on July 31 at...

Billionaire developer Rick Caruso has moved within the margin of error among registered voters in the race for Los Angeles mayor against Democratic Party favorite Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA) — but trails her by double-digits among likely voters in an electorate notorious for low turnout. A new poll by the University of California Berkeley Institute for Governmental Studies shows that Caruso trails Bass by just three points, 34% to 31%, among registered voters — within the poll’s 3.5% margin of error. But he trails by 15 points, 46%-31%, among likely voters. The only good news for Caruso

Most Americans say that former President Trump should not be allowed to serve another term in the White House in the near future, according to a new Yahoo News-YouGov poll. With several investigations into Trump’s conduct ramping up, 51 percent of registered voters say that the allegations of wrongdoing are enough to preclude the former president from launching another campaign.

The Wisconsin Republican Party of Ozaukee County is demanding a full investigation of the Wisconsin Election Commission’s data system, according to a resolution penned by Chairman Kathy Broghammer. This resolution is being brought forth in response to the shocking reports of voter fraud and irregularities that occurred throughout the 2020 presidential election.On Wednesday, the state’s Committee on Campaign and Elections revealed that there were 119,283 active voters on the Wisconsin voter rolls who had been registered for over 100 years. Additionally, the committee also reported hundreds of thousands of inactive voters, totaling at over 500,000 instances of inactive or invalid...

It’s being reported that the security guard made famous in the Las Vegas shooter story is not even registered as a guard with the State of Nevada.  Is he even a guard?  Why was he there? Every security guard in the state of Nevada has to register as an armed or unarmed guard with the state’s Private Investigator’s Licensing Board (PILB).  This entity’s records are publicly searchable at: nevadapilb.glsuite.us. There’s no Jesus Campos licensed with the PILB. Earlier this week we found out that Campos was shot before the shooter started firing on the crowd below at the music...

As America reels from yet another mass shooting, inevitable questions resurface about guns laws and the nation's pervasive firearm culture. Here is a look at per capita weapons data, based on the ATF's National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record, and 2013 data from the U.S. Census. While the ATF's National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record is the only accessible list of its kind, it is not all-inclusive. NFA firearms only include the categories regulated by The National Firearms Act of 1934: machine guns, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, suppressors, destructive devices like bombs and grenades, concealable devices with the ability to...

49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick may be the focus of an American political movement, but he has never been a voter, according to records obtained by The Sacramento Bee. The Bee reports that the Turlock native has not registered to vote anywhere in California since reaching the legal voting age in 2005. Nor did Kaepernick register in Nevada during his time as a college student in that state. [...] It had not previously been revealed that the quarterback skipped all elections, including the the 2008 and 2012 elections of the nation's first black president.

I have found a definite trend where likely voter polls favor Trump and register voter polls favor Clinton. For the recent rolling polls included in RealClearPolitics, the average has Clinton up 2.7%. If you include only LV polls, Trump is up 0.5%. This trend is not just with the recent polls though. I wrote a quick python script and copy pasted all the polls since 8/15 when Clinton and Trump were first in the same ballpark in polling. And found the trend continues all the way through. Break down in first comment since I need to format it:

Over the past several months, Donald J. Trump has crisscrossed the country making dozens of campaign stops in places like Sioux City, Iowa, and Jackson, Miss., often in his sleek Cessna jet. There is just one hitch: The plane’s registration is expired. Records kept with the Federal Aviation Administration show the aircraft’s registration lapsed on Jan. 31. Laura J. Brown, a spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation Administration, confirmed that the plane’s registration was not in good standing and said the owner had not renewed it.

Athens (AFP) - Two men who French police are seeking to trace in connection with the Paris attacks registered as refugees with Greek authorities earlier this year, the Greek police confirmed on Saturday. French authorities had asked their Greek counterparts to check a passport and fingerprints of one man and the fingerprints of another who were thought to have registered in Greece, which is the main entry point into Europe for Syrian refugees. At least one Syrian passport was found at the scene of the Stade de France attack. Greek minister for citizen protection, Nikos Toskas, said in a statement...

On Jan. 1, 2014, tens of thousands of defiant gun owners seemingly made the choice not to register their semi-automatic rifles with the state of Connecticut as required by a hastily-passed gun control law. By possessing unregistered so-called “assault rifles,” they all technically became guilty of committing Class D felonies overnight. Police had received 47,916 applications for “assault weapons certificates” and 21,000 incomplete applications as of Dec. 31, Lt. Paul Vance told The Courant. At roughly 50,000 applications, officials estimate that as little as 15 percent of the covered semi-automatic rifles have actually been registered with the state. “No one...

There are obviously verifiable vote fraud problems in North Carolina. -snip At latest count, Susan has garnered a total Absentee Ballot vote of over 2,660 people over the age of 110. -snip In visiting the political tracking site, we later found the same story in evidence, except the number of centenarian voters had increased measurably to 832 voters over the age of 112. Of these voters, over 70% were slated as Democrats, with a diminutive 25% counted as Republicans. The rest were unaffiliated. -snip Obviously there is a problem, one in which voter ID might clearly provide a solution. A...

So how much will Romney/Ryan have to win by  to overcome the daunting, entrenched fraud factor...? Just in time for the untold glory of the pending DNC convention is Charlotte, a citizens' voter-integrity group out of Raleigh has found over 30K deceased persons still registered to vote in the state. Since North Carolina has no voter ID law, anybody can come in and vote in one of these dead Tar Heel's names- and there's zero apparatus in-place to challenge them. Plainly, vanloads of liberal ne'er do wells with a zombie-voter list could easily be carted from polling station to polling station all...

FReepers / Cain Supporters, Question for you. Like I said last week, I figured out the identity of the NJ Accuser (she hasn't come forward yet). I have said before and will continue to refrain from revealing her identity on a public forum until she decides to come forward or another media link outs her. However, since it was easy for me to find her, I thought about emailing her and letting her know that both Politico/Google Search has compromised her anonymity and show her how I was able to identify her without being a journalist, hacker, investigator, etc. I...

COMEX warehouse data for 5/31 is out, and COMEX registered silver inventories are now officially below 30 million ounces, registering in at 29,631,268 ounces! As there were 31.1 million ounces of silver as of last Friday, this means 1.471 million ounces of silver were lost from COMEX registered silver supplies yesterday. It appears that most of this loss was not due to a withdrawal, but rather was due to an adjustment from Scotia Mocatta, which recorded an adjustment of 1,456,488 ounces from registered to eligible status! (Eligible silver does not qualify as inventory that can be delivered to longs).

While it appears that the COMEX will be able to survive May delivery in silver, Blythe and friends may not be able to kick the can down the road much longer. In 2009, total COMEX registered silver supplies were 87.4 million ounces. Fast forward to May 2011, and registered silver supplies are now 33.2 million ounces. This is a drop of 54.2 million ounces in registered silver supplies in 2 years, or an average drop of 27 million ounces/ year! Translation: the end game in the silver manipulation may well arrive in the next year.

HARARE, Zimbabwe – Nearly one-third of Zimbabwe's registered voters are dead, and others appear to be babies or up to 120 years old, researchers said Friday, calling for the list to be overhauled so that the upcoming election cannot be rigged. The independent Zimbabwe Election Support Network's report said that the anomalies opened the way for "double voting and other rigging intentions." In its research, the group found some 2,344 voters between the ages of 101 and 110 still on Zimbabwe's voting rolls, a dubious figure in a country where the average life expectancy is a mere 44 years.

PHOENIX — Arizona voters continue to desert the two main parties. New figures Tuesday from the Secretary of State’s Office show 953,503 people who are signed up to vote in next week’s primary listed no political affiliation. That is approaching 31 percent of the more than 3.1 million registered voters. By contrast, independents were only about 27 percent of the electorate two years ago. And a decade ago, the total was fewer than 16 percent. The disdain for organized parties seems to have taken roughly equal bites out of both the Democrats and the Republicans. At the 2000 primary, Democrats...
