Virginians for Fair Elections, a main group fighting to get Virginia voters to approve a ballot referendum that will allow the state to redraw its congressional maps, has been pumped with millions in cash from a web of George Soros-backed dark money groups and top Democratic Party officials.

Utah’s governor and the heads of both legislative bodies are investigating an alleged relationship between state Supreme Court Justice Diana Hagen — who is responsible for the crucial gerrymandering decision — and an attorney who argued the case. A complaint, exclusively obtained by KSL, was submitted by another attorney, Michael Worley, in late December.

Worley said he believed his duty as an attorney of the bar obligated him...

On Saturday, Democrat Pete Buttigieg appeared at a town hall in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He’s been making other stops around the U.S. as he tries to get Democrat voters engaged for the midterm elections in November. These stops also double as the groundwork for winning the Democrat Party’s 2028 Presidential primary. Being a town hall, Buttigieg took questions from the crowd. One woman said she’s worried about something entirely imaginary. Well, she didn’t phrase it like that. She truly believes Republicans want to round up trans and gay Americans and imprison them in concentration camps. Lord, help us! SNIP

The Dems’ mega fundraising platform’s key staffers took the Fifth scores of times in depositions, according to the report ‘Fraud on ActBlue, Part II.’ he leftists at ActBlue got some ’splainin’ to do.

One of the great strengths of Abraham Lincoln was his ability to take complicated concepts and boil them down into an easily digestible argument that even his most basic audience could understand. This was an invaluable resource for Lincoln whether addressing a jury or a gathering of potential voters and he used it frequently throughout his life. One of the best examples of this unique talent in his own handwriting comes to us from a document entitled “Pro-slavery Theology” here in the collections of the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum. Undated, though likely written in October of 1858 during...
