The recent admission by Ann Brumbaugh, attorney for the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections, that 315,000 illegally certified votes were included in Georgia’s 2020 final vote totals, has once again raised the issue of the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election.After the 2024 election, the New York Times published “An Extremely Detailed Map of the 2024 Election,” showing a rightward shift in precincts across the country. Commentators have explained this as a surge in Trump’s support. But the map tells another story: The real shift came from a dramatic drop in Democrat votes between 2020 and 2024. That...

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.

‘When the law demands three signatures on tabulator tapes and the county fails to follow the rules, those 315,000 votes are, by definition, uncertified.’ arlier this month, Fulton County admitted that approximately 315,000 early votes from the 2020 election were illegally certified but were nonetheless still included in the final results of that election. The admission came during a Dec. 9 hearing before the Georgia State Election Board (SEB) stemming from a challenge filed by David Cross, a local election integrity activist.

ATLANTA — Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has been subpoenaed by the Department of Justice for records related to her travel history, the New York Times is reporting. It remains unclear at this time the scope of the DOJ investigation into Willis, but it comes just one day after the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey, another one of President Donald Trump’s foes.

“If you want a friend in DC, get a dog. We're coming for you.” —Dan Bongino, Deputy Director, FBI. You better believe Martha Stewart baked a cake last night — the lovely Gâteau Opéra perhaps? — when she got the news that the ham sandwich known as James Comey got indicted by a federal grand jury twenty-two years after that same ham sandwich indicted the goddess of hearth and home for lying to the FBI and the SEC over a trumped-up insider-trading rap, and sent her to federal prison for a five-month stretch plus five additional months of confined home-making...

A judge in Atlanta left a courtroom gasping after he mistakenly delivered a devastating “guilty” verdict for a man charged with murdering a police officer — when the defendant was found “not guilty” on all counts. Judge Henry M. Newkirk on Friday botched the climax of the week-long murder trial of Alton Oliver, who was accused of fatally shooting off-duty Fulton County Deputy James Thomas in Dec. 2022. After nine hours of deliberation, the jury found Oliver innocent — but Newkirk left out a critical word, Fox 5 reported. “We, the jury, find the defendant guilty as to all six...

Talk about karma!

ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia’s Senate passed a bill that could allow President Donald Trump and more than a dozen people to seek compensation for legal bills stemming from an attempt to overturn his 2020 election loss in the state. The bill passed unanimously by state legislators Thursday would enable compensation from counties for attorneys’ fees and other legal costs in criminal cases in which a district attorney has been disqualified if the case gets dismissed, or compensation for the cost of arguing the district attorney should be disqualified. Trump and 18 co-defendants were indicted in Fulton County in August 2023....

Burt Jones and other Republicans say they want to further examine recent ethics findings that voter participation group New Georgia Project improperly coordinated with Abrams’ 2018 campaign for governor. They also want to probe claims by new U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin that $2 billion was improperly given to a coalition of groups trying to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. Abrams worked with one of the...

In another legal victory for Judicial Watch, a federal court has ordered the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to furnish all available files they have on any communications between now-former Special Counsel Jack Smith and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis pertaining to the prosecution of President Donald Trump. The court order comes after the DOJ still objected to handing over information even after the Trump prosecutions were shut down. Judge Dabney L. Friedrich ruled on January 28 that because the two federal cases against Trump were closed, the DOJ's non-disclosure arguments are no longer applicable: Since [the] DOJ filed...

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) will serve as Mistress of Ceremonies at what social media users have dubbed a “ghetto gala” on behalf of District Attorney Fani Willis, the disgraced Democratic District Attorney who attempted to prosecute President Donald J. Trump in Fulton County, Georgia. The Tyler Perry Studios event is currently set for February 13, with attendees charged up to $25,000 a table.

The Fulton County Board of Commissioners opted against allocating a substantial monetary increase for the county district attorney’s office when finalizing its 2025 fiscal year budget on Wednesday, perhaps bringing a monthslong standoff with DA Fani Willis into its next phase. The board allocated $39.3 million of its nearly $1 billion budget to the DA’s office, a figure that Willis has insisted will not allow her staff to properly carry out its duties. The adopted budget also fails to provide additional funding requested by other justice and safety partners, like the magistrate courts and the solicitor general. Capital B Atlanta...

An unjustified assault has happened on a state legislator for simply trying to perform his state constitutional duties. On Thursday, Georgia Republican State Senator Colton Moore, a huge Trump supporter, was attempting to enter the State of the State session in the House Chambers before suddenly getting roughly forced to the ground by an unknown male. There are reports that the person responsible is a staffer for Georgia Speaker of the House Jon Burns, though this has not been confirmed. Authorities do absolutely nothing to the individual who unjustly shoves Moore to the ground. WATCH: ... Following the initial incident,...
