Free Republic

If you spent any time online over the weekend, you may have seen a bizarre dustup involving researcher Data Republican and the attorney Sarah Rogers. The short version is that Data Republican was handed some government documents that were supposed to become the basis for new reporting. She saw markings on the material, became worried she was being set up to publish something she legally couldn’t, and the whole thing exploded publicly. The temperature eventually came down. And somebody else finally sat down and went through the info. What was revealed is a fascinating look back at the government’s sprawling...

Shasta County Registrar of Voters Clint Curtis has released explosive security footage that he says shows longtime Elections Office employees deliberately bypassing badge readers to enter secure election rooms without leaving their names in the official access logs.

According to reporting by Elisa Ballard of Shasta Unfiltered, the footage, presented by Curtis during an August 19 appearance on Catherine Engelbrecht’s True the Vote podcast, shows one...

TikTok permanently banned journalist Cam Higby’s account after he posted two video clips from his undercover report inside Minnesota polling stations. James O’Keefe and Cam Higby went undercover in Muslim garb to expose Minnesota’s insane ‘voter vouching’ system. “Under Minnesota’s Statutes § 201.061, a registered voter can sign an affidavit affirming that they know another individual resides in the same precinct, allowing that person to register at the polls without presenting standard proof of residence. One registered voter can vouch for up to eight people,” O’Keefe said. “We wanted to find out what this actually looks like inside a polling...

Last week was interesting for anyone concerned about Islam’s growing influence in America. Recently revealed were the 2009 remarks made by Michigan US Senate nominee, Democrat and avowed Muslim, Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed. He reportedly shared that, while in medical school, he chose to obtain a loan that was compliant with Islamic law—Sharia. In fact, he proclaimed that, as a Muslim, he would always follow Sharia in “everything” he ever sought to do. Some may dismiss these remarks, made 17 years ago, as those of a man simply dedicated deeply to his religion—one he embraces totally separate from his political views...

“Wherever you came from, you came to America. And you came for one reason—for one reason only—to establish Allah’s deen,” Imam Siraj Wahhaj, a former vice president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), had told Muslims, “democracy will crumble, and there will be nothing, and the only thing that will remain will be Islam.” “Muslims in America are the most strategic Muslims on Earth,” the top Islamic figure, who has posed with numerous politicians, including Zohran Mamdani, said. “If you get involved in politics, you have to be very careful that your leader is for Allah.
