The American people are being robbed in broad daylight. Federal dollars move by the billions into loosely audited programs diverted to support illegal aliens and private pockets. When questions arise, the ballots are returned to the officials who certified the election and then destroyed on a short statutory clock. The scoreboard is certified. The evidence is gone. People do not like being swindled by a con game. Riverside County, California, showed how it works. Sheriff Chad Bianco seized more than 650,000 ballots from the November 2025 Proposition 50 election with search warrants after discrepancies were found. The California Supreme Court...

To defend a leftist politician who spoke in front of an upside-down American flag, Axios published a fake fact check claiming the video was “doctored” by AI and that, in reality, the flag was right side up.

I did an internet search to see if it had been determined where Omar recorded her pathetic TikTok rambling. It said that no specific location or street had been determined as of yet.I had some free time, so I decided to see if I could pin point precisely where it was recorded based on anything such as signs, buildings or other landmarks that appeared in her recording. (There is a guy that has a channel that challenges people to record a video in some obscure place and with a few clues from the video, he invariably accurately pin points there...

Are you sitting down? Republicans are currently showing signs of PRESIDENTIAL-LEVEL midterms turnout already in early voting in crucial states. Scott Presler breaks down the POSITIVE signals he is seeing on the ground for the GOP: In Texas, Republicans are leading Democrats by 50,000 early ballots and red counties are seeing Presidential election level voter turnout. In Pennsylvania, Democrats are DOWN 100,000 mail-in ballots from 2022, Republicans are up 50,000 and our return rate is matching Democrats. In Florida, Republicans have gained the early vote lead for Byron Donalds. Don't believe the polls. Get out and Vote EARLY, @ScottPresler

WASHINGTON — “Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar demonstrated “countless signals of deception” in her video message to supporters asking for donations, a body language expert assessed. Omar’s (D-Minn.) video message posted late Tuesday marked the first time she addressed the public on camera since the raid of her DC home last week and the revelation of a probe into her citizenship status by the feds. “It’s a nervous smile, and her eyes are not smiling, so it’s not genuine,” Florida-based body language expert Lillian Glass told The Post about Omar’s appearance in the video. “The lips curve downward; the raising [of...

A New York City native became an ISIS bride at just 18 — and is now the first woman to face trial in the US as an alleged member of the ruthless terror group. Halima Salman, now 27, has been painted by Brooklyn federal prosecutors as an ISIS-trained machine gun-toting wannabe killer, showing footage of the young woman wielding an AK-47 assault rifle in her terrorist husband’s Syria home. “The evidence shows that the defendant received training from a violent, brutal, terrorist organization, an organization responsible for violent attacks all over the world,” Assistant US Attorney Amanda Shami told the...

North Korea has released a fresh batch of apparent “proof of life” photos showing Kim Jong Un inspecting shoes and women’s clothing — after wild rumors swept social media claiming the dictator had died from a brain hemorrhage. The images, published by North Korean state media on Monday, show a seemingly animated Kim examining children’s footwear, gesturing toward officials and inspecting women’s coats at a garment and footwear exhibition. The photos surfaced just hours after sensational claims circulated online that the 42-year-old leader had suffered a massive brain hemorrhage, fallen into a coma and died after being rushed to Beijing...

In a recent appearance on Steve Bannon’s War Room on Tuesday, Tiffany Justice discussed Pennsylvania mail-in/return ballot numbers. Tiffany is a Senior Advisor for Citizens Alliance and also co-founded Moms for Liberty. She is a very smart and eloquent speaker, someone you listen to whenever you see her on a show you like. Tiffany had good news for Republicans from Pennsylvania: Tiffany Justice: "The GOP returns are already higher than at this point in 2022. So, the GOP share of returned ballots has reached 25%. As of August 19th, 2022, it was just 20%. So things are looking really good...

The waterway’s decline poses an existential threat to Elephant Butte, N.M., and surrounding farms. ‘This place is going to turn into a ghost town.’ ELEPHANT BUTTE, N.M.—Three decades ago, a rare event drew hundreds of people from miles away to the Elephant Butte reservoir, this state’s largest lake. The reservoir, which supplied drinking water to thousands and nourished vast acres of farmland, had swelled from the Rio Grande and begun to overflow. Jim Paxon remembers the roar as water cascaded down the dam’s spillway, tossing mist into the air and churning the ground below. Those days are long gone. One...

WASHINGTON — Liberal Justice Elena Kagan sharply criticized the Supreme Court’s conservative majority Tuesday, saying it undermined democracy in a series of rulings, including several that have prompted a new wave of legislative map-drawing that has increasingly eliminated competitive districts. Kagan, who has dissented in those cases

Police kept access to Flock’s vast surveillance system long after they left the force. Some used it to track the locations of romantic partners.When Andrae Wright left his job as an investigator at the Effingham County Sheriff’s Office in 2021, he handed in his gun and badge. But he kept something powerful: his log-in credentials for Flock, a police tool he used to search a vast network of roadside cameras tracking the locations of passing cars. In the five years after leaving the force, Wright searched the system more than 60 times without being stopped by anyone at the Georgia...

During the run-up to elections, I like to look a little deeper into the trends that seem to be driving people to the polls. For the 2026 midterms, we're told that the main issue is "affordability." I don't disagree. I live in a deep blue region of a blue state: New Jersey. My particular county (Camden) has been under total Democrat control for a very long time. The state itself has been under Democrat legislative control since 2001, with the governor's mansion also occupied by Democrats except during a hiatus when Republican-in-name-only Chris Christie held the office from 2009-2017. So...

California lost population for the first time in its history a few years back. Some of the loss has been recovered. But there’s been no growth beyond the 2020 peak. Yet Sacramento continues to expand government. The madness will continue until voters realize the mistakes they’ve been making at the ballot box for decades. America’s largest state topped out at 39.53 million in 2019. That number fell to 39.52 million in 2020, then 39.24 million in 2021 and 39.03 million in 2022. After a few years of growth, the population fell again from 2024 to 2025, is still below its...

Large numbers of sports stars continue to drop like flies since the mRNA gene therapies were rolled out.Large numbers of prominent athletes continue to die unexpectedly or suffer anomalous medical emergencies since the mRNA gene therapies were rolled out. Across the NFL, NHL, NCAA football, professional rugby, women's basketball, and international hockey, athletes ranging in age from just 18 to 56 have suffered major medical events, including pulmonary emboli, cardiac arrest, an aortic dissection, an emergency heart transplant, and several deaths. In just the first 21 days of OCTOBER 2026, at least 10 cases have made headlines: Jalen Hurts, 28...

Explanation: Jinkies, look at all those ghosts! It took 100 hours of observation and a special oxygen filter for today’s image to capture three faint nebulas hidden in the Cassiopeia constellation. IC 59 and IC 63, the original Ghosts of Cassiopeia, haunt the region near multi-star system γ Cassiopeia. Energetic light from γ Cassiopeia causes the hydrogen gas in IC 59 and 63 to glow red. Their dust reflects and scatters some blue-ish white starlight. Newly discovered Objects 1, 2, and 3 appear as blue phantoms, revealing the presence of ionized oxygen. But ionized by what? Like at the bow...

The seventh-year pro had played in Tennessee’s first five games this season before being sidelined this past Sunday. ============================================================== The Tennessee Titans cut defensive lineman Jordan Elliott after he brought a gun to the team’s training facility in a “terrible lapse of judgement,” officials said Wednesday. Titans coach Robert Saleh defended Elliott and called his now-former player “a good man” who deserves another chance — but just not in Tennessee. “He’s a good man (who) had a terrible lapse in judgment that I recognize as a call for help more than a than a criminal act,” Saleh told reporters. “It’s...

In Virginia, a 64-year-old man was charged after he taped his wife to a chair in the basement so he could watch football upstairs. Terry Ward was arrested last Sunday night in Richmond after officers responded to a domestic call. According to the criminal complaint, his wife said he used tape to restrain her to a chair in the basement. Ward admitted he tied her up and left her there. She had marks and tape residue on both arms and told police she had been restrained for up to 45 minutes. He faces felony abduction and misdemeanor assault on a...
