The leftists lose in Colombia, so President Gustavo Petro declares the results invalid, and blames Israel. The wonderful Charlie Chan had an explanation for everything. One of my favorites is that “small things sometimes tell large stories.” Well, they do in Colombia. Are you ready for this? Guess who stole the election in Colombia? Let’s hear from President Petro himself: Colombian President Gustavo Petro declares the results of the ongoing Presidential Runoff Election to be invalid, following the loss of left-wing ruling party candidate Iván Cepeda and close win of Trump-backed far-right candidate Abelardo de la Espriella. Petro claims that...

Republican voters ousted Utah’s most powerful lawmaker, state Senate President J. Stuart Adams, Tuesday after a series of controversies and mounting criticism for his role as one of the key decision-makers advancing a proposal to build a controversial data center in Box Elder County. Two other key GOP lawmakers — Sen. Daniel McCay and Rep. Trevor Lee — were voted out as well. Hundreds of thousands of dollars poured into the competition pitting Adams of Layton against Weber State University’s ex-general counsel, Stephanie Hollist, and former Legislature attorney Braden Hess. Hollist held the lead around 11:30 p.m. with 43% of...

It's mind-boggling that elections and election results take so long to complete, especially in a developed nation such as the United States.A person votes in the Virginia redistricting referendum at Lyles-Crouch Traditional Academy, Tuesday, April 21, 2026, in Alexandria, Va. AP Photo/Julia Demaree NikhinsonIt's inexcusable that our modern society can't establish firm timelines and expedite tabulation when many nations, both developed and developing, announce results on the same day as the election or within a day or two. Many of those countries lack the election technologies that the United States takes for granted.In the case of very close elections similar...

Here is a brief run-down Looks like Alan Wilson will win a runaway in South Carolina. Is Evette that unpopular? Jenny Costa Honeycutt likely wins the 1st District I think Stumbo pulls it off in the AG Race Cody Simpson is the favorite for the Agricultural Race In Utah, the main race is whether Blake Moore holds off Karianne Lisonbee. Moore is the reason why Democrats will gain another seat in Utah. He should lose his primary by 50 points plus his voting record sucks I wish Phil Lyman would upset Celeste Maloy. I don't see it happening sadly. In...

GOP delegates nominated Max Engling as their candidate for secretary of state June 20, capping off a messy convention season with the ousting of the current secretary of state for the second convention in a row. Engling, a staffer for U.S. Sen. Jim Banks, won with 867 votes after two rounds of voting. Knox County Clerk David Shelton received 627 votes, and Secretary of State Diego Morales received 134 votes. Former gubernatorial candidate Jamie Reitenour lost in the first round after receiving the lowest number of votes.

The Los Angeles City Council took one step closer toward possibly giving noncitizens the right to vote in city elections, agreeing to put the measure on the Nov. 3 ballot. The measure is part of a package of proposed charter changes that will go before voters later this year. In a decisive 10-5 vote, the council on Wednesday approved a proposal introduced by Councilman Hugo Soto-Martinez to implement noncitizen or "residential" voting for city and Los Angeles Unified District elections. Soto-Martinez emphasized individuals with some form of legal status such as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, Temporary Protected Status holders,...

President Donald Trump is making life almost impossible for Senate Republicans — and these days fewer of them are willing to just let it slide. Some lawmakers that were once happy to brush off impulsive and disruptive behavior by saying they hadn’t seen the president’s social media posts or that it was just “Trump being Trump” are increasingly willing to speak out against what they view as bad decisions that undermine their ability to deliver legislative wins as the midterms approach. The latest irritation was the early-morning Truth Social post Wednesday that upended GOP hopes of quickly confirming a new...

Republican senators are growing tired of the White House throwing curveballs into things they want to get done. For example, many Republican senators want a now-lapsed surveillance law that allows intelligence agencies to spy on foreign threats to be reauthorized. The problem? They need Democratic support to overcome a filibuster in the Senate. President Trump has now twice thwarted efforts to win over that support. The first time he named Bill Pulte, the controversial head of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac who had no intelligence experience, as acting director of national intelligence. Democrats and Republicans alike howled in protest. Trump...

President Trump’s scuttling of a hearing to review his pick for director of national intelligence has once again plunged Congress into chaos over who will lead the intelligence community and how lawmakers can renew the nation’s lapsed spy powers. The Senate spent the morning ping-ponging over whether members would even hear from nominee Jay Clayton, who serves as a U.S. attorney. Trump said the hearing was canceled, but Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), an ally of the president, initially rebuffed him, saying the hearing would still go on. Cotton later backtracked and announced the “regrettable” decision that the...

Jim Marchant's decision to run for Nevada secretary of state came down to the wire. The former state lawmaker, among the loudest voices claiming Nevada's election system to be fraudulently run, initially announced a bid for Congress. But in the final hours of March's candidate filing period, he decided to run for secretary of state, which oversees the state's elections. Campaign finance reports show that he raised zilch in the first three months of 2026. In early May, Marchant told The Nevada Independent that his lack of fundraising is "not going to be a problem," despite facing opponents with tens...

Federal investigators executed search warrants at the headquarters of a Soros-aligned voter mobilization organization in Ohio as part of what sources described as an ongoing fraud investigation. FBI agents searched the offices of the Ohio Organizing Collaborative on June 11 and conducted interviews with members of the organization across the state, according to reports. Some agents reportedly served subpoenas or sought to seize electronic devices during the operation. Multiple sources familiar with the matter later told CBS News that the federal action was tied to a fraud-related investigation. The Department of Justice declined to discuss the specifics of the case....

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...

Vice President JD Vance, in an interview with “CBS Sunday Morning,” said he and his wife, Usha Vance, will discuss a 2028 presidential run after this year’s midterm elections. “Usha and I will absolutely sit down and talk about what comes next for our family,” Vance told CBS. “The way I make decisions is I try not to make them until I absolutely must.” He said he expects President Donald Trump to be “very supportive” of his eventual decision. “I have no doubt that the president of the United States is going to be very supportive of anything that I...

A few Dumocrats are against FISA, with or without Bill Pulte going to DNI, as Acting. What kind of a deal is that. Besides, I’m against FISA if it doesn’t come with The Save America Act (Full version!) firmly attached to it. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

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...
