Ukraine should not hold elections this year, officials from the country’s electoral commission have concluded, setting Kyiv on a collision course with the United States. Members of the official working group on elections were due to present draft legislation to parliament late last month, but told The Times they had yet to resolve key questions on how to secure fair elections free from Russian attacks or interference. They plan to continue deliberating on the issue until at least the end of May. The group has agreed, however, that Ukraine should only enter a campaign period at least six months after...

Connecticut Democrats recently rushed through an emergency anti-fraud law requiring bottle redemption centers to collect a copy of a person’s driver’s license when they cash in more than 1,000 cans or bottles in a day — a document demand that Republicans say undercuts the party’s attacks on voter-ID rules. Earlier this month, an emergency certification bill, SB 299, was introduced by top Democratic leaders in the state's legislature. It was later passed in both chambers in late February and was signed by Gov. Ned Lamont, a Democrat, on March 3. It requires people wishing to recycle cans for money to...

Homeless individuals were allegedly bribed with cash, cigarettes, and marijuana in exchange for signing voter registration forms and ballot petitions — often using fake addresses Independent investigative journalist James O’Keefe and his team at O’Keefe Media Group (OMG) have released explosive undercover footage documenting what appears to be widespread voter registration and petition fraud on Los Angeles’ Skid Row, where homeless individuals were allegedly bribed with cash, cigarettes, and marijuana in exchange for signing voter registration forms and ballot petitions — often using fake addresses. The investigation, titled “CALIFORNIA ELECTIONS FRAUD CASH FOR BALLOTS PART I,” captured at least 28...

Sen. Ron Johnson's plea came after Just the News earlier this week disclosed declassified documents showing Chinese intelligence gained access to multiple states' voter registration data and conducted some voter influence efforts. The intelligence agencies chose to keep that information quiet because spy agency analysts opposed Trump and his policies. The chairman of the Senate's most powerful investigative panel is urging President Donald Trump to declassify and make public any U.S. intelligence showing China's efforts to gain access to American voter registration data or to use measures to influence voters dating back to 2020. "I wish they briefed the American...

Nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to the depths of depravity among the denizens of the Deep State. But I have to admit that I am still, sometimes, surprised how so many people buried in the bureaucracy can get away with acting as if they are a fourth branch of government. You would expect that at least SOMEBODY there would have some integrity and respect for the Constitution, but nope. An actual U.S. intel analyst working on Chinese influence operations during the 2020 election: “I don’t want my intelligence going to the White House where it will be used...

John Solomon is reporting on previously suppressed information indicating that, as early as 2020, we knew the Chinese were trying to interfere in our elections and that this intelligence was covered up. The burning question is, of course, why that happened. [Youtube video at source link] Solomon’s report is based on a 7 April 2020 National Intelligence Council Assessment. That report reads in part: “We assess that China and Russia are increasing their ability to analyze and manipulate large quantities of personal information in ways that will allow them to more effectively target and influence, or coerce, individuals and groups...

The O’Keefe Media Group on Tuesday released part one of its investigation into a California elections fraud cash for ballots scheme. James O’Keefe and his team of journalists went undercover on Skid Row in Los Angeles posing as homeless people.

The YouTube video (from Dr. Steve Turley, uploaded around March 18, 2026) is titled "Woke Progressives WIPED OUT as GOP SURGES in Special Elections!!!". Brief summary: It celebrates recent special election wins for Republicans and losses for progressive/left-leaning Democrats in states like Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. Key highlights include: A strong GOP victory in Virginia's 98th House district (63% for the Republican candidate, significantly outperforming past margins). Republican pickups in Pennsylvania state house races. Defeats of progressive/ "woke" Democratic candidates in Illinois primaries (e.g., losses for figures tied to anti-ICE activism or endorsed by Rep. Ro Khanna, while Trump-endorsed candidates...

Senate Republicans voted Tuesday to bring up the SAVE America Act to overhaul election laws nationwide, kicking off what’s expected to be a highly contentious debate on the floor of the chamber. The vote was 51-48, with Sens. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, joining unified Democrats in opposition. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., didn't vote. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., has promised “an extended debate” on the legislation, which President Donald Trump has labeled his “No. 1 priority.” But it doesn’t have a viable path to passing the Senate. The legislation would require Americans to show proof of citizenship — a passport or...

Circulators also instructed individuals to use fake addresses. “Oh, you can just fake...

The probability of election fraud is astronomical, given the potential spoils for the winners. Now look at government -- just a few examples: The City of Chicago has a $16.6 billion budget. There are tens of thousands of cities in the U.S., most of them smaller than that, but all of them containing an array of sub-accounts, from road funds to office space rental, to staff and foodservice and maintenance contracts. SNIP There are cities where pollworkers load up the machine with votes before the polls open, or where busloads of patronage workers drive around the city on election day,...

In a letter, AG Kris Mayes and SOS Adrian Fontes warned that election officials who improperly release protected voter information could face criminal consequences Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes and Secretary of State Adrian Fontes have sent letters to county recorders urging them not to comply with federal requests for voter data tied to new investigations into the 2020 election. The letters were sent as federal authorities, including the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, pursue probes related to the 2020 presidential election in Arizona. In the joint correspondence to county officials, Mayes and Fontes warned that providing certain...

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) told Breitbart News that the planned vote on the SAVE America Act will reveal who is fighting for secure elections and who fears them.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., plans to bring a Republican elections reform bill to the floor next week and kickstart a marathon debate that could potentially last days.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp says AI will upend society and that even people in tech underestimate "how disruptive these technologies are." "If you are going to disrupt the economic and, therefore, political power significantly of one party's base, highly educated, often female voters who vote mostly Democrat, and military and working class people who do not feel supported, and you feel like that's, you believe that that's going to work out politically — you're in an insane asylum," Karp told CNBC on Thursday on the sidelines of AIPCon 9 in Maryland. Karp said that, since AI will largely disrupt white-collar...

Instead of fighting over a 21-mile-wide bottleneck forever, we cut a new channel through friendly territory. A dozen thermonuclear detonations and you’ve got a waterway wider than the Panama Canal, deeper than the Suez, and safe from Iranian attacks. ...

Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times. G. Michael Hopf – Those Who Remain Like most red blooded American men, I think about sex and the Roman Empire numerous times every day. In recent years, I’ve added the above quote. As I think back, the different elements of it were probably floating around in some amorphous, uncoordinated morass in the back of my mind for years, never bothering to coalesce. No doubt the reason they didn’t is that for most of my life, America was enjoying...

The Democrats have been making desperate arguments against voter ID legislation, including claims that it will disenfranchise married women due to their name change. Naturally, they’ve left out the part about Barack Obama launching his political career by using the name change of a married woman in his successful attempt to have all his opponents kicked off the ballot and run unopposed. The SAVE Act, which has been passed by the House and is heavily supported by the public but is stalled in the Republican Senate, simply “requires individuals to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote,...

HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) — Legislators heard public testimony on legislation that would implement a 2024 ballot measure greenlighting universal access to absentee ballots. The ballot measure, which was put before voters by Democratic efforts in the legislature, passed overwhelmingly. Now, Democrats are pushing to implement it before the statewide election this fall.

Every illegal vote cancels an American citizen’s vote. And the left loves it. t’s just crazy how difficult it has been to get Congress to care about secure, legitimate elections in the United States. For the record, elections in America are conducive to mass fraud. Although Democrats and Establishment Republicans say stupid and fundamentally dishonest things, such as “America’s elections have never been more secure,” American citizens know they are lying. Although voters in national elections must be U.S. citizens, there’s no requirement to provide documentary proof. Just this week, the FBI arrested an illegal alien from Mauritania living in...
