A new study released by Judicial Watch this week has uncovered potential widespread election fraud in Texas. According to the report, 33 counties across Texas have voter registration rates that exceed 100%, meaning there are more registered voters than eligible citizens. This is a clear sign of election fraud, and it must be addressed immediately. The integrity of our election process is at stake, and we cannot allow this kind of fraud to go unchecked.

Squires: America's most powerful women finally found men they can submit to The rapid spread of dangerous political ideology is creating a dystopian society that female fans of "The Handmaid’s Tale" have been warning about for years.This threat isn’t coming from fanatically religious patriarchs who strip women of their dignity, clothe them in long red dresses, and force them into natal servitude. The danger we face is coming from men who call themselves women. Their handmaids are female athletes, journalists, politicians, political pundits, entertainers, and women like Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson who wear power suits on television but refuse...

There is no clear path to a positive outcome for Russia in Ukraine. It could win every future battle, but it has already lost.We are at the one-month mark into Russia's invasion of Ukraine and it looks like things are only set to get bloodier. Short of a sudden ceasefire and a robust peace deal, which some would argue seems less feasible with each passing day, the war will grind on. But regardless of if Russia achieves its military objectives in the country, it has already lost in nearly every conceivable way. What's worse is what awaits them if they...

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — China’s foreign minister made a surprise visit Thursday in Afghanistan’s capital, meeting with the country’s new Taliban rulers — even as the international community fumes over the former insurgents’ broken promise to reopen schools to girls beyond the sixth grade.

Native Americans and Alaska Natives vote at lower rates than the national average but have been a key constituency in tight races and states with large Native populations. A surge in voter turnout among tribal members in Arizona, for example, helped lead Joe Biden to victory in the state that hadn’t supported a Democrat in a White House contest since 1996. The Biden administration’s...

Twitter mashed its SHUT UP button on Christian satire site The Babylon Bee. Twitter’s latest episode in its ongoing campaign to silence The Bee involved reportedly locking its founder Adam Ford out of his account for simply trolling the platform with benign humor. “Don’t reshare this or you’ll get suspended from Twitter,” Ford said according to a snapshot shared by The Bee CEO Seth Dillon March 23. Ford’s tweet had a snapshot of a censored Bee story naming Assistant Health Secretary Rachel Levine the website’s “Man of the Year.” Talk about a glaring irony. But it didn’t matter.
