Minnesota is now the latest test site for one of the most radical election experiments in America: voting by phone. A bill introduced in the Minnesota House this spring, HF4962, would write “mobile voting technology” into state election law, defining it as an application on a mobile device used to “complete and submit a ballot” in a secure and encrypted manner. It would also allow voters in jurisdictions that authorize the technology to receive ballots, instructions, and certificates of voter eligibility electronically, then return the ballot electronically through the same system. Translated out of legislative jargon, Minnesota lawmakers are being...

Today, my wife & I joined Donald Trump’s hit list. He has directed his Department of Justice to investigate us. They have not found a crime - they are simply trying to find one.He isn't coming after me because of mean tweets, but because I am considering running for President.… pic.twitter.com/tVYk3WUvO8— Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom) June 15, 2026

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday that the Department of Justice is investigating him, claiming that President Donald Trump is targeting a “political enemy” despite no evidence the Democratic potential 2028 presidential contender has committed a crime. Newsom said in a video posted to social media that Trump’s administration is also targeting his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom.

Well done, California Democrats. We weren’t sure you could do it, but you came through. In just one primary election you managed to pull off a rare trifecta of political infamy for the Golden State: the embarrassment of a vote-counting system that takes so long it would have looked obsolete in colonial Virginia; the shame of an election process that invites deep suspicion about the integrity of the democratic order at a time of historically low public trust; and the misery of an outcome that just about guarantees the same misrule by the same people responsible for the dysfunction and...

Voltaire’s purported remark about “common sense” not being so “common” has no greater application than modern Democrats and their philosophies. The 18th-century French philosopher Voltaire is to have once remarked, “Common sense is not so common” when assessing the lack of logic and basic reasoning prevalent in France during the Age of Enlightenment. He certainly had a knack for distilling his views of humanity in that era. The dominant questions confronting society in that time were markedly different than those which the U.S. currently faces, but his stark observation can still be applied to a distinct segment of American society...

".......Lisandro Barazarte, a photographer with the local newspaper, Notitarde, caught images of several of the men shooting into the crowd while steadying their firearms on their palms. "They were practiced shooters," Barazarte said. "More were armed, but didn't fire." When it was over, two La Isabelica men were dead: a 22-year-old student, Jesus Enrique Acosta, and a little league baseball coach, Guillermo Sanchez. Witnesses told the AP the first was shot in the head, the second in the back. They said neither was at the barricades when he was killed.... ....."They put a pistol in my face and said they...

A Rikers Island Correction captain has been arrested for forcing her subordinates to pay her, buy her gifts and drive her to restaurants and a casino while on duty, according to federal prosecutors. Latanya Brown, 51 — who was known as the “Terror of the Tombs” back when she worked at the Manhattan Detention Complex — sunk to criminal lows when she was transferred to Rikers Island in early 2024, according to a federal extortion and wage theft indictment unsealed in Brooklyn Thursday. Brown was assigned to the jail complex’s Facility Operations Department as a supervisor from July 2024 to...

The White House pulled federal funding from Los Angeles’ largest homeless agency after discovering a bombshell audit that showed millions of dollars in missing public funds, The California Post has learned. The Trump administration’s new task force on fraud announced Thursday it was halting any more cash going to Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority. The office, led by Vice President JD Vance, said it was part of a wider crackdown on “fraud and corruption” that they have consistently leveled against California. It also comes amid a wider fight between the White House and the Golden State over the recent elections,...

The FBI executed three federal search warrants Tuesday morning at the Contra Costa County Assessor’s Office and the homes of longtime Assessor Gus Kramer and his right-hand man, Assistant Assessor Vince Robb. The FBI executed three federal search warrants on Tuesday, targeting the Contra Costa County Assessor's Office and the homes of two top county tax officials in what is shaping up to be one of the biggest public corruption investigations to hit California's East Bay in years. Federal agents descended on the Contra Costa County Assessor's Office in Martinez, along with residences connected to longtime County Assessor Gus Kramer...

Ahmad Chalabi is in possession of "miles" of documents with the potential to expose politicians, corporations and the United Nations as having connived in a system of kickbacks and false pricing worth billions of pounds. That may have been enough to provoke yesterday's American raid. So explosive are the contents of the files that their publication would cause serious problems for US allies and friendly states around the globe. Late last year and several months before Paul Bremer's Coalition Provisional Authority became involved, Mr Chalabi had amassed enough information concerning corruption in the oil-for-food scandal to realise that he was...

LOS ANGELES, CA — California election officials reminded voters over the weekend that there are just 30 days left to mail in their vote for the Los Angeles mayoral election that happened last Tuesday. With the in-person portion of election day over, officials made sure voters knew that they have just 30 days left to cast their votes by mail before officials start counting ballots to determine a winner. "Only one more month, everyone," California election official Kari Schwimmer announced. "I can say with authority that we will absolutely cut things off right around then. Unless we don't."

Karen Bass will escape being asked under oath about her actions leading up to The Palisades Fire at the trial of the man accused of starting the blaze which destroyed the beachfront enclave and killed 12. The trial against Uber driver Jonathan Rinderknecht started Monday with jury deliberations, where Judge Anne Hwang read out the witness list including dozens of names. But the embattled Los Angeles mayor, who it currently in a tight reelection fight, was not mentioned. Prosecutors claim Rinderknecht ignited the most expensive wildfire in US history, killing 12 people, torching thousands of homes and causing $150 billion...

This is the Democrat Party’s idea of “secure” elections in their one-party utopia. Investigative reporter Nick Shirley — the same journalist whose explosive February 2026 video we reported on here at The Gateway Pundit — knocking on doors and exposing the rotting corpse of the state’s Democrat-controlled election system, and the latest clip is pure fire. Meet Doris. She lives in California. According to the California Secretary of State’s own voter rolls, she is 126 years old and has cast ballots in 51 elections. There’s just one small problem. Doris is not 126 years old. She was born in 1940....

Judges turned their backs on the law to let illegals pour into the country. They use the law to keep them here. You have to credit the White House for telling it like it is. On their new webpage concerning the threat posed by mass illegal immigration, it states that illegals are aliens among us. Not surprisingly, this is viewed by the Democrats and liberal media as a “grotesque violation” against human rights, and an expression of “white supremacy.” The president is accused of anti-immigrant bias. Apparently, enforcing constitutional law regarding borders, immigration, and security is a form of discrimination....

California is using the Federal mail system to corruptly elect Federal representatives (and state and local officials). So don't recognize their corrupt election/certification system. Don't seat their representatives. There goes 53 seats in the Congress until you stop the corruption.

And the latest numbers were a major win for Raman. Going into this update, my estimate was that Raman needed to outperform Pratt by roughly 11 percentage points in the remaining vote to have a realistic chance of catching him. Instead, she did much better than that. Raman gained 23,115 votes in Friday’s update, compared to 10,711 for Pratt and 20,419 for Bass. In a single ballot drop, Raman netted 12,404 votes on Pratt. Put another way, she received more than twice as many votes as Pratt in this batch.

California’s slow ballot count isn’t just a political disgrace. It’s also a symbol of how California does everything: late, if at all. The high-speed rail was approved in 2008, to connect San Francisco to Los Angeles by 2020. Not one inch of track has been laid. The Sites reservoir was originally proposed in the 1950s. It was only approved this year, and nothing has been built. The Delta tunnels were proposed decades ago. Now the project is down to just one tunnel, and it may never be dug.
