Republicans say they'll push ahead with Hunter Biden probe despite some warnings from within Top lawmakers unveiled plans to target the Biden family in oversight probes. By Lucien Bruggeman, Katherine Faulders, and Will Steakin November 18, 2022, 4:21 AM Congressional Republicans say they're poised to push ahead with an investigation into President Joe Biden's family, including his son Hunter, in the coming session -- despite warnings from some in their own caucus not to pursue "hyper-partisan" oversight probes. Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio and James Comer of Kentucky, two high-ranking members expected to helm powerful committees when Republicans take control...

Connecticut Democrat sentenced to 2 years of probation for ballot fraud Connecticut Democrat John Mazzoli intentionally forged, submitted absentee ballots for dozens of individuals The former chairperson of a local Democratic Party in Connecticut must serve two years' probation and pay a $35,000 fine for fraudulently submitting absentee applications and ballots for dozens of people without their knowledge during a local election.

The incoming chairman of the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday formally accused the FBI of meddling in the last four elections to the detriment of Republicans, citing the Russia collusion probe, the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story and the raid on Donald Trump's home . Maybe it'd be nice if the FBI and the Justice Department just stayed out of it and let we the people decide who we think should represent us, who we think should lead us," he added. "That’s supposed to be how America works. "So this is the focus on the Judiciary Committee, the...

In Arizona, the vote difference between Kris Mays(D) and Abraham Hamadeh (R) is down to 130 votes, with Mays in the lead by just that much. This with 97% of the vote counted.

Either way, they thought the Democrats were better. This is important to work out. Independent voters are not merely people refusing formal party alignment. They are that great globular middle of American politics – respectable white people, that is, white people who care about looking respectable to white people, who themselves care about looking respectable to other white people. I call this class of Americans “globular,” because they can be pushed and pulled, depending on the context at election time. They are fickle. They believe they are immune to the consequences of politics. But they can be shamed, as respectability...

Moderate Republicans are preparing to flex their political muscles to ensure their newly-won but narrow House majority is not hijacked by conservative hard-liners from the Freedom Caucus who are looking to impose a new set of rules in 2023. snip For example, the Freedom Caucus wants to restore an arcane rule allowing any lawmaker to call for a vote on removing the speaker at any time from the House floor. It wants to ensure that a floor vote is given to any amendment if at least 10% of the GOP conference is in support. Other rules changes deal with instituting...

"Warm in their seats, they were loath to leave them, or hold them any longer at the will of the people. With all the subtlety, and all the sagacity and address which is characteristic of this order of men in every age and nation, they prevailed on the people to relinquish for the future the right of electing counsellors in the general assembly, and the people, with their characteristic simplicity, and unbounded confidence in their rulers when they love them; became the dupes, and passed a law, that the two councils should for the future elect, or at least approve...

How Republicans can recapture the presidency while the Blue Wall of Fraud remains standing is the question of our time. While we of God’s Own Party had our eyes on the House and the Senate, Democrats in Michigan and their funders nationwide had their eyes on the real prize: the rules by which votes are cast and counted. There is an international consensus that secure, trustworthy elections means strict voter ID requirements and in-person voting rather than drop boxes or vote-by-mail. In response to the chaos of the 2020 election, in which many Detroit precinct totals simply didn’t add up,...

But here’s what they can’t get around, here’s where pro-lifers have no answer: There were seven—seven—ballot measures where abortion was in one way or another on the line. And in all cases pro-life lost. The right to abortion was enshrined in the state constitutions of California (no surprise), Vermont (ditto), and Michigan (that’s bad news). Red Kentucky defeated a sweeping antiabortion measure, and red Montana defeated a bill mandating that doctors provide lifesaving measures to babies born alive during the procedure (pro-lifers surely thought that would be an easy win; instead they got a painful loss). In red Arkansas, a...

President Donald J. Trump outlined his “National Greatness Agenda” for supporters at Mar-a-Lago Tuesday night as he announced the official launch of his 2024 presidential campaign. Notably, one of the key issues he highlighted was election integrity.“We will do whatever it takes to bring back honesty, confidence, and trust in our elections,” Trump declared. “To eliminate cheating, I will immediately demand voter ID, same-day voting, and only paper ballots. … And we want all votes counted by election night.”BREAKING: President Donald J.

CNN Election Deniers Refuse to Admit GOP Won the House

This case uncovers a serious national security breach that is unique and is of first impression, and due to the serious nature of this case it involves the possible removal of a sitting President and Vice President of the United States along with members of the United States Congress, while deeming them unfit from ever holding office under Federal, State, County or local Governments found within the United States of America, and at the same time the trial court also has the authority, to be validated by this Court, to authorize the swearing in of the legal and rightful heirs...

Georgia Democrats on Tuesday filed a lawsuit to open up early voting for the Senate runoff election over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, despite a state law that prohibits voting within two days of a holiday. Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced last week that the runoff election between incumbent Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock and Republican challenger Herschel Walker would be held on Dec. 6. With 99% of precincts reporting, Warnock had 49.4% of the vote and Walker had 48.5%, meaning neither candidate cleared the state's 50% requirement to secure the seat without a runoff. When the Senate runoff was...

The Left dominates the institutions. It is not possible right now to take back those sources of power. The Right must attack them instead. Like dogs to their vomit, the conservative chattering class returned to its worst instincts in the aftermath of the midterms. Apologies to my fellow commentators, but Ron DeSantis should not run for president in 2024. Donald Trump’s “divisiveness” is not the problem. And, no, screaming louder about the culture war won’t save the country. The same people who have always, deep down, despised Trump simply cannot resist the latest opportunity to pull out their knives and...

The left is doing everything it can to foil those who are calling for election integrity as a major race for governor has just been called.The election for Arizona governor has been called for Democrat Katie Hobbs, who is literally the AZ Secretary of State and oversaw the counting processes. The voting procedures saw massive failures, especially in Maricopa County, shockingly, where there were major problems in the 2020 presidential election.The ultra-left Media Matters for America (MMfA) did a hit piece on Steve Bannon who just called for the Arizona governor’s race not to be certified.Here’s the garbage that MMfA...

As the final pieces of the red-wave-that-wasn’t 2022 midterms fall into place, one race that curiously remains undecided five days after the election — albeit now anti-climatic — is the race in Colorado’s 3rd District between Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert and her Democrat challenger, Democrat Adam Frisch.As of Tuesday, as reported by Newsmax, Boebert led Frisch by 1,122 votes with 95 percent of the votes counted, leaving roughly 5,000 votes still to be counted. So what’s the big deal, you ask? So did I — so I went in search of anything even close to a legitimate reason.According to election...

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Reports of longer than anticipated lines and delays, as well as claims of insufficient balloting materials, have led to not only the Texas governor calling for an investigation into Harris County's Election Day process, but also a lawsuit against the county's elections administrator. Gov. Greg Abbott, who won a third term last Tuesday, cited voters frustrated by delays including missing keys, insufficient paper ballots in Republican precincts, and staffing problems. "The allegations of election improprieties in our state's largest county may result from anything ranging from malfeasance to blatant criminal conduct," Abbott's office wrote in a...

For months leading up to the midterm elections, Mark had been imploring his audience on TV and radio to ignore talk of the red wave. The most important thing to do was vote and ignore the static from the pundits. Watch as Mark breaks down the numbers and statistics about why a red wave was unlikely in 2022, but why the numbers help him hold out hope for 2024. Did you catch red wave fever? Did you vote?

Last week, on the day before the elections, President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice announced that it was sending election monitors to Florida — specifically to Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties. In its letter, the Justice Department said it was dispatching officials from its civil rights office as well as federal prosecutors to 64 jurisdictions in 24 states, which included red and blue areas alike in both the north and the south.
