Democrats, minorities are especially concernedNearly two-thirds of California voters are worried that the Trump administration may try to halt the vote count early, stoking disquieting levels of election anxiety on the eve of the midterms, a new poll shows. Those fears arise as the Justice Department continues its aggressive efforts to challenge or wrest control over state voting processes, including threatening to prosecute uncooperative elections officials in California, after years of baseless claims of widespread election fraud by the Republican president.Among California voters, 63% worry that the federal government may attempt to stop the counting of votes in California and...

The Department of Homeland Security has blasted California’s sanctuary policies, claiming the state released nearly 24,000 undocumented immigrants from jail since January 2025 rather than handing them over to ICE. DHS said the cases involved more than 81,000 criminal charges or convictions, including 169 homicides, 147 sexual assaults, 1,097 assaults and 3,295 burglaries. “Governor Gavin Newsom and his cronies in California have turned the Golden State into a hotbed of illegal alien crime,” said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. He added that sanctuary politicians have not only refused to cooperate with law enforcement and “released murderers, child abusers, kidnappers, and gang...

The New York Times recently highlighted an alleged list of more than 1,000 Michigan voters, described as primarily Jewish Americans, who have endorsed Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed (D) for the U.S. Senate over Republican Mike Rogers. The document, which is still available online, presents those participating as a show of support from Jewish “leaders” and community members. A closer look at the names, however, raises instant questions about the list’s credibility. One in particular would make Bart Simpson proud. Jack Mehoff. No, seriously. That name is on the list. What, was Hugh Jass not available? Conservative political commentator and online media...

Angelle Sampey has spent three years working toward the day she could officially call herself a licensed NHRA Top Fuel driver. Monday afternoon in Las Vegas, she got there with a 3.688-second pass at 337.66 mph, a run worthy of a top-half qualifying position in any of today’s current races. Now comes the part that could be harder than driving an 11,000-horsepower dragster. Finding the right marketing partner to benefit from a championship caliber driver with a strong fan following. The three-time Pro Stock Motorcycle world champion completed her licensing requirements at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, driving...

According to the statement, investigators argue that...

We live at a time when we are facing a relentless wave of AI cyberattacks, and they are becoming insanely sophisticated. On Monday, refrigeration units in supermarkets all over Europe were successfully attacked. But I am not going to talk about that today. In this article, I am going to talk about the sort of AI cyberattack that could turn off your electricity for an extended period of time. This is not a theoretical threat. Hackers have been repeatedly attacking Internet-exposed programmable logic controllers in recent months, and a successful attack could potentially plunge a large portion of the country...

I've been looking forward to watching Steven Crowder's coverage of the elections tonight but I haven't been able to log on all morning.

U.S. and Israel have discussed phasing out grants, but president’s comments suggest it could occur much faster than expected WASHINGTON—President Trump said Tuesday that the U.S. would cut off military aid to Israel by the end of the year, suggesting the phaseout of grants to the U.S. ally could occur much faster than expected.“We won’t be paying anymore to Israel,” Trump said during an interview with Fox News on Election Day. “We’ve already agreed that by the end of this year, we won’t be paying Israel.”The phasing out of direct U.S. military aid to Israel has been under discussion for...

The Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Mohsen Rezaei, stated that the United States' response regarding Iran's rights and demands was unconvincing. He said that the United States must provide a full, clear, and explicit response...

On the afternoon of Friday, October 30th, Poland's president boarded a plane for Senegal. Karol Nawrocki was somewhere over Spain when the news reached the cabin. Back in Warsaw, Anna Korwin-Piotrowska, who had never taken the oath before the president that Polish law requires of a Constitutional Tribunal judge, ordered the suspension of the Tribunal’s president, Bogdan Święczkowski, and its vice president, Bartłomiej Sochański, for one month. She announced that she was now running the court. Nawrocki told the pilot to turn around at around 6:12 in the evening, and by midnight he was standing inside the Tribunal building beside...

I really hate AI, but I thought this setup was nice - for once. John Voight starts out and then it transistions to the AI with Congress arguing. Then Frnaklin give his speech.

Dr. El-Sayed is a fighter for our American Constitution, he’s a fighter for our American Democracy, and he’s a fighter against the corrupt, lawless, and anti-American leadership currently in the White House. That’s why I’m in his corner 100%.

Elissa Slotkin is one of the CIA Democrats whose political mission is rewriting America's social contract. Slotkin entered the national consciousness as a key player in the "Seditious Six" video, in which she and five other National Security-linked leftist Democrats urged members of the military to join The Resistance and consider violating their orders if they deemed them "illegal." It was an odd video, since when pressed, Slotkin couldn't name a single "illegal" order Trump had given, making the entire framing about preparing soldiers to disobey in general, rather than any in particular. We call that "preparing the ground," and...

I'm just repeating what is posted daily of FR. According to the polls (as biased as they are!) America will shift either gradually or dramatically to the left today. I have some uninformed ideas about this move leftward. Here are some of the positions the majority of the democratic party are espousing and are endorsed by at least 50% of the electorate. 1. Socialism is far superior to capitalism and we need to tax wealthy people to equalize poverty. 2. There are at least 62 genders and it is impossible to define a biological female or male. 3. Democrats believe...

Well, well, well. Wouldn’t you know it? After months of listening to political experts and the media tell Americans that Republicans were headed for an absolute bloodbath in the midterms, the New York Times has suddenly discovered something rather interesting. Late-deciding voters are breaking toward Republicans by NINE POINTS in seven critical Senate races. And this little revelation comes just as Americans are heading to the polls. How convenient, right? For much of this election cycle, the message coming from the polling world has been downright miserable for Republicans. Dems were supposedly surging, the GOP was in serious trouble, and...

French film company Pathe is conducting an experiment to see if hypnosis can be used to make people forget a movie they've seen so that they can get the experience of watching it again for the first time. The peculiar stunt, known as Pathe Rewind, will elicit the services of hypnotist Victor Kraemer. The films that will be shown as part of the experiment are The Matrix, Se7en, La La Land and Interstellar. Pathe has emphasized that there is no guarantee that the hypnosis will actually work and even notes that it "accepts no liability for the outcome, the effect,...

You can see Kara Swisher implies that they might use information "taken" under the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Clinton adds to that, suggesting that there could be Social Security numbers "in private hands," talks about Elon Musk, and says that they have to "hold people accountable" because they can't get away with "manipulating the data." This is stoking wackjob conspiracies to whip voters. Truly, Hillary Clinton, the woman whose campaign was involved with the Steele dossier, is the last person who has any credibility on this, the woman pushing the fake Russia collusion hoax. It's sort of hilarious that...

Donald Trump: Agreed with Benjamin Netanyahu to stop US funding to Israel at the end of 2026 | The Jerusalem Post. Trump: US will stop funding to Israel after end of 2026, will 'help Israel if they need it'.
