Last Wednesday, January 14, 2026, in a little-noticed Supreme Court decision, Chief Justice John Roberts delivered the 7-2 majority opinion in Michael J. Bost et al., Petitioners v. Illinois State Board of Elections, et al. That case saw Illinois Congressman Michael Bost challenge an Illinois State Board of Elections rule that “requires election officials to count mail-in ballots postmarked or certified no later than election day and received within two weeks of election day.” Remarkably, the decision reversed the trend, which has predominated since 2020, of federal and state courts denying standing to petitioners who argue that state board of...

Investigative author Peter Schweizer alleges the Mexican government is operating a coordinated influence effort inside the United States, using diplomatic missions, education programs and migrant outreach initiatives in ways he argues go far beyond traditional diplomacy. In an interview with Fox News Digital, Schweizer said his forthcoming book, “The Invisible Coup,” available Tuesday, documents what he describes as “weaponized immigration,” a strategy he claims Mexican officials view as a means to exert political leverage inside the U.S. “Foreign powers are using migration as a weapon to undermine American sovereignty,” Schweizer said. “Mexico is a clear example of this.” Schweizer pointed...

Last night, Tina Peters was assaulted at approximately 9PM MT in La Vista Correctional Facility. Tina was inside a maintenance closet to fill up a water unit when an inmate approached her in the closet and began striking her in anger. Tina raised her hands and pushed the inmate away in defense of herself. Per Tina, the camera showed her pushing the inmate away from her out of the closet. She was subsequently handcuffed, shackled, and brought to solitary confinement. Tina was told she is being charged with Felony Assault for defending herself against an unprovoked attack. She will be...

e know that Democrat politicians and judges can be vicious and corrupt, but with regard to Tina Peters, they outdid themselves. Tina Peters has been sitting in a Colorado state prison since October 2024. During the 2020 election, Tina Peters was the top election official in Mesa County Colorado. In October 2024, the 70-year-old widow was sentenced to nine years in prison by District Court Judge Matthew Barrett. Given the lengthy sentence, you might think that Peters molested a child, pushed someone onto a subway track, or stole $50,000 from a Mesa County bank. You’d be wrong. To Colorado Democrats,...

In a victory for the Trump administration, Oregon Secretary of State Tobias Read announced last week that the state will resume “routine cleanup” of outdated voter registration records, a process dormant since 2017. The effort could ultimately cancel up to 800,000 inactive registrations, roughly 20% of the Beaver State's total voter rolls. This long-overdue cleanup comes only after the Department of Justice sued Oregon and other states to enforce basic voter-roll maintenance standards. For years, Oregon’s political class treated voter roll maintenance as a nuisance at best and a moral failing at worst. The state paused its cleanup mechanisms in...

A federal judge Thursday dealt a significant legal setback to the Trump administration in its efforts to obtain voter data held by states. In a 33-page order, U.S. District Judge David O. Carter in California dismissed a lawsuit that sought to give the Justice Department access to the Democratic-led state’s voter files, including records like Social Security numbers and driver’s license information. California is one of 23 states, along with Washington, D.C., that the Justice Department has sued for refusing to hand over the voter data. The lawsuit against California was filed in September. “Clean voter rolls are the foundation...

I was inspired to write this by a more than routinely interesting article by Wayne Root, “Trump Brings Back Maduro to USA. Why? I’m Betting This is About Stolen 2020 Election.”That article affected me in a surprisingly personal way. It impelled me to talk about some things I have mainly kept on the down low, including the story of why I resigned from The Epoch Times, and how a recent book of mine had to be printed twice, and why that might relate to the secrets of dictators. Mr. Root writes of several things, which you should read at the...

Venezuelan authorities and pro-government armed groups have committed widespread abuses since the July 28, 2024 presidential elections that officials said Nicolás Maduro had won, despite substantial evidence to the contrary. The Venezuelan government has killed, tortured, detained, and forcefully disappeared people seeking democratic change and many others have fled the country. Governments should support accountability efforts for grave human rights violations in Venezuela, call on Venezuelan authorities to release people arbitrarily detained, disclose the whereabouts of those subjected to enforced disappearances, and expand access to international protection for Venezuelans fleeing repression. (Washington, DC) – Venezuelan authorities and pro-government armed groups...

The time for “polite inquiries” is officially over. For five years, the bureaucratic fortress of Fulton County, Georgia has stonewalled every attempt to look under the hood of the 2020 election. They hid behind state seals, played legal shell games with ballot locations, and treated public record requests like personal insults. But as of December 2025, the game has changed. The Department of Justice (DOJ), now acting as a legal strike force under the Trump administration, has launched a federal offensive that is sending shockwaves through the Georgia political establishment. Led by assistant attorney general Harmeet Dhillon, the DOJ has...

A few days ago, the Federalist reported that Fulton County, Georgia, had over 300,000 illegal early-vote ballots during the 2020 election. The votes were illegal because they were unsupported by poll worker signatures (contrary to Georgia law). In other words, the vote totals were miraculously born without a mother or father.Independent analysts have known of this evidence for years. Indeed, a reference to the phony 2020 votes is included on page 108 of my book (Debunked?), which was published three years ago:“All but two of the early vote tabulator closing tapes for 350,000 votes were unsigned. Thus, there was no...

Fulton County, Georgia, recently made an admission that should have commanded national attention. During a hearing before the Georgia State Election Board, county officials acknowledged that approximately 315,000 early ballots cast in the 2020 presidential election were unlawfully certified yet were nonetheless included in Georgia’s final, official results, in a race Joe Biden was officially declared to have won by just 11,779 votes.The admission arose from a challenge filed by David Cross, an election integrity activist, who alleged that Fulton County violated Georgia election law in its handling of early voting. Under state statute, each ballot scanner is required to...

Five years after the fact, Georgia election officials have admitted that 315,000 votes in the 2020 presidential election lacked the necessary signature from poll workers and should not have been counted. President Donald Trump was unjustly indicted for alleging just such a violation of election security. A bombshell report out last week in The Federalist from journalist Brianna Lyman provides all the details on what should be considered one of the biggest election-related scandals in American history. As she relays, election officials in Fulton County, Georgia, the most populous in the state, admitted to failing “to sign off on the...

Former FBI agent and Navy SEAL Jonathan Gilliam says Trump should name a “Justice Czar” to coordinate both prosecutions and policy fixes. "This would be a slam dunk case for any US Attorney," he said. Aretired FBI agent who assembled major crime cases for years says Attorney General Pam Bondi has a “slam dunk” conspiracy case to prosecute former federal agents and prosecutors for election meddling for relentlessly pursuing Donald Trump for political purposes while protecting prominent Democrats like Hillary Clinton in the face of damning evidence. Jonathan Gilliam, a retired FBI agent and Navy SEAL, told the Just the...

"The prison sentence made Ms. Peters, 70, a martyr for the election-denial movement, and launched a fruitless campaign by Mr. Trump’s followers to win her release from state prison." —The NY Times. Tina Peters, sentenced in Colorado. “Election denier” is a curious term. It implies that anyone who even questions the validity of an election is not right in the head, maybe even. . . a heretic, a sociopath, a criminal, an enemy of the people! The New York Times flogs the term incessantly as a sort of talisman, to ward off suspicions (branded as evil) that US elections are...

ELECTION INTEGRITY: Fulton County told the Georgia State Election Board it does not dispute 315,000 early votes in 2020 were illegally counted giving Biden the win. Fulton County produced no signed tabulator tapes for roughly 315,000 early votes in 2020, according to evidence presented to the Georgia State Election Board. At a Dec 9 hearing, county lawyer Ann Brumbaugh said the county does not dispute the tapes were not signed and called it a rule violation. Georgia’s Secretary of State investigation summary substantiated that 36 of 37 advanced voting precincts failed to sign the tapes required by statute.

SummaryRoger Stone, in an interview with Alex Jones on InfoWars, claims that individuals from the election integrity community presented Susie Wiles with proof of Venezuelan and Chinese manipulation of voting machines in U.S. elections, excluding paper ballot issues.Wiles allegedly brought this to President Trump and recommended forming a working group led by Tulsi Gabbard, involving other agencies, to review the evidence and produce a report.Sources reportedly indicate the group has examined evidence of Venezuelan and Chinese Communist involvement, plus online vote manipulation, with ongoing review of mail-in ballots.Stone emphasizes preventing future fraud over just proving past events (2020 and possibly...

The National Popular Vote (NPV) plan is the latest in a long line of schemes designed to replace the Electoral College. Imbued with the ideals of this nation’s Founders, the Electoral College has proved itself both effective in providing orderly elections for President and resilient in allowing a stable transfer of power of the leadership of the world’s greatest democracy. Therefore, while it would be a mistake to replace the Electoral College, replacing this system with the NPV would be a disaster. The NPV would devalue the minority interests that the Founders sought to protect, create electoral administrative problems, encourage...

SummaryThe video states that Trump's task force, in coordination with DOJ, FBI, state attorneys general, and lawsuits, is preparing to release comprehensive proof from White House meetings, including eyewitnesses, civil and federal cases, and RNC suits, confirming fraud in battleground and other states.The video presents the following claims of election fraud evidence, primarily focused on the 2020 U.S. presidential election, with some references to other elections:Voting Machines Manipulation: Machines contain built-in computer chips smuggled from China through Taiwan and sent to Venezuela, enabling remote access and vote flipping via hidden cell phone chips. This system has allegedly operated for over...

President Donald Trump announced Thursday that he has granted a full pardon to Tina Peters, the former Mesa County clerk whose case has become a rallying point for election-integrity activists across the country. Trump has previously described Peters as a "political prisoner" on several occasions.

The mask is off. The deep state operatives in Pennsylvania – that battleground fortress we fought tooth and nail to reclaim – have finally confessed to a treasonous betrayal that reeks of the swamp's foulest underbelly. For decades, non-citizens, including illegals flooding our borders like an unchecked invasion, have been handed the keys to our sacred ballot box. And it all traces back to one man: Bill Clinton, the slick architect of the 1993 "Motor Voter" law that turned our election integrity into a sieve. This isn't some fever dream from the resistance – it's official, on-record admission from Pennsylvania's...
