Within hours of her 2016 presidential campaign loss, a devastated Hillary Clinton attributed her defeat not to the American voters who rejected her, but to Russia, echoing a campaign theme she had been developing for months. “Hillary declined to take responsibility for her own loss” and “kept pointing her finger” at Russia, according to Shattered, a 2017 book about her campaign—“Her team coalesced around the idea that Russian hacking was the major unreported story of the campaign.” The corporate media were also devastated, as they had spent the entire campaign mocking the idea that Trump and his anti-establishment positions on...

The pro-Bidenomics clapping seals over at CNN finally had the stones to admit that a major revision in jobs growth has undercut President Joe Biden’s entire economic legacy. For all the lipstick-smearing CNN did on the pig of Biden’s economy and his supposedly stellar jobs growth, the Bureau of Labor Statistics made a big whoopsie by conceding that it had again wildly overestimated jobs growth during his era in the 12 month period ending March 2025 — this time by a whopping 911,000. With no clever way to spin, CNN economics reporter Elisabeth Buchwald had to admit the obvious September...

(DCNF)—U.S. job growth in the year through March was much weaker than previously reported, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) revisions released on Tuesday. The U.S. economy likely added 911,000 fewer jobs in the year ending in March — or an average of almost 76,000 fewer each month — according to the BLS’ preliminary benchmark revision. The report comes after job growth slowed in August, with the U.S. economy adding just 22,000 nonfarm payroll jobs, according to data released Friday by BLS. ADVERTISEMENT The jobs report revisions were even worse than the downward adjustment of 700,000 that was previously...

The Republican National Committee was dealt a blow by a unanimous decision of the Third Circuit Appeals Court in the RNC's effort to discard undated and misdated ballots in Pennsylvania. The three-judge panel said in the 55-page ruling that the affected ballots needed to be counted and failing to do so was unconstitutional. Pennsylvania voters are required to write the date on the envelope for their mail-in ballots. "The date requirement imposes a burden on Pennsylvanians' constitutional right to vote," the court ruling reads. "And it culminates in county election boards discarding thousands of ballots each time an election is...

According to the portal, the new US administration does not consider Europe to be a partner, but as a "political battleground"BRUSSELS, July 8. /TASS/. The US is taking steps to carry out a "regime change" in the EU, trying to rig elections to put far-right forces in power to "turn Europe and allies like Canada and Mexico into US vassals," said Caroline de Gruyter in a column she contributed to the Brussels portal EUobserver. EUobserver previously always expressed the interests of the globalist European elite, which prevails among the supranational officials of the EU and NATO, as well as their...

Jeanine Áñez was detained in the early morning in her hometown of Trinidad and was flown to the capital, La Paz. She had earlier warned that officials were searching for her, terming it “abuse and persecution” in Twitter posts. The arrest of Áñez and warrants against numerous other former officials further worsened political tensions in a South American country already torn by a cascade of perceived wrongs suffered by both sides. Those include complaints that Morales had grown more authoritarian with nearly 13 years in office, that he illegally ran for a fourth reelection and then allegedly rigged the outcome,...

I checked, and it’s true… 2025: Susan Crawford – 1,181,000 votes. Every other Dem SCOTUS candidate in history: • 2023: Janet Protasiewicz – 1,021,822 votes. • 2016: JoAnne Kloppenburg – 878,000 votes. • 2020: Jill Karofsky – 855,000 votes. •’2011: JoAnne Kloppenburg – 745,690 votes. So… despite the democrat party having historical nationwide low approval ratings (around 24%), they got more popular? 🤣

Democrats are facing new charges of election fraud going back to 2021, despite their party pushing back on election integrity and voter fraud claims since the 2020 presidential election. While Democrats have long criticized Republicans who are concerned about election integrity by smearing them with the pejorative label “election deniers,” new allegations regarding election fraud are being made against Democrats. Five Democratic Party members in Bridgeport, Conn., and Philadelphia have been criminally charged with numerous counts of voter fraud on both the state and federal levels regarding mail-in ballots. Bridgeport had to redo primary and general elections last year after...

California’s newly elected Assembly members and Senators were sworn in Monday December 2nd… while elections officials were still counting ballots. The first Monday in December has always been swearing-in Day for the California Legislature, from back in the day when California managed to report election results at the end of the Election Day along with all other 49 states. We are not sure how swearing in day is legal anymore… Wednesday, Dec. 5th, one month after Election Day, California wrapped up counting votes. And once again, California lost two more Republican congressional races after the election – one month after...

Can't make it up, folks. I dare you to even try. Breaking: newly tabulated provisional/other ballots in New York City significantly narrow Trump's popular vote margin. Added at certification: Harris 159,983 Trump 52,544 When you find out a major American state is still counting votes a month after the election.................

Nancy Pelosi's daughter said she was 'curing' ballots in a California congressional district where the Republican candidate saw his lead drop by hundreds of votes in recent days. Christine Pelosi, one of the former House speaker's four daughters, posted a video Tuesday saying she was traveling to the Golden State's 13th congressional district, where the race between Republican John Duarte and Democrat Adam Gray has tightened. 'My life, my love is curing ballots with my friends, I can't wait to get on the road the again,' the 58-year-old is heard singing to the tune of Willie Nelson's classic. symbol 00:09...

In yet another blatant display of political persecution, former Mesa County, Colorado Clerk Tina Peters, 68—a gold star mother—was sentenced to 9 years in prison in early October. In August, Peters was found guilty on seven of ten charges for preserving critical election data. After bravely raising questions about election irregularities, Peters was relentlessly pursued by local and federal authorities, culminating in charges that were politically motivated from the outset. Peters’ crime? Exposing the truth about what happened in the 2020 election. As a last act before entering prison as the result of a political prosecution, Peters publicly released the...

A federal judge in Virginia on Friday ordered the commonwealth to place non-citizens back on its voter rolls. The judge ruled that removing the registered voters from the rolls violated federal law, WRIC reported. The Justice Department sued Virginia earlier this month over removing non-citizens from its rolls ahead of the Nov. 5 elections. The suit was against the Commonwealth of Virginia, the Virginia State Board of Elections, and the Virginia Commissioner of Elections for allegedly violating the National Voter Registration Act of 1993. The NVRA prevents states from using systematic programs to remove ineligible voters from voter rolls within...

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (WRIC) – A federal judge has ordered Virginia to put people back on the state’s voter rolls after they were removed under a state program that the Justice Department and advocates claim illegally took them off too close to the election. Lawsuits from the Justice Department and advocacy groups allege that part of an executive order from Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin systematically removes alleged noncitizens from the rolls too soon to the Nov. 5 presidential election in violation of federal law. The law — the National Voter Registration Act — requires Virginia and other states to stop systematically...

Republicans supporting Kamala Harris say that there's a 'silent majority' of Americans that will give her the edge over Trump. The former lawmakers say that pollsters may have overlooked these Americans as they collect data. Polls show that Trump and Harris are neck-and-neck in nearly every battleground state heading into the last few weeks of the campaign. Former GOP Rep. Barbara Comstock told the Daily Beast: I think there’s a silent majority. I think there’s a silent group of women who will crawl over broken glass to vote against Trump and who will quietly vote for Harris. Comstock is joining...

The obvious bias shown by ABC News moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis during Tuesday’s presidential debate has put the spotlight on their boss — Disney executive Dana Walden, who oversees ABC News and is a close personal friend of Kamala Harris. So blatant was the network’s animus against former President Donald Trump during the live broadcast that even Megyn Kelly — not exactly Trump’s biggest fan — has called out Walden, saying she is helping lead the effort to “steal this election. They’re openly working to sink him.” Megyn Kelly’s post-debate roundup focused in part on Disney executive Dana...
