Democratic Rep. Yvette Clarke of New York admitted in comments that resurfaced Tuesday that she was eager for immigrants to enter the United States to help Democrats with redistricting. Clarke initially made the comments during an Oct. 7, 2021, House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing, which were previously resurfaced in a January 2024 post on X from the EndWokeness account before resurfacing again. During the 2021 hearing, Clarke took aim at Republicans who were objecting to Haitian migrants. “I’m from Brooklyn, New York,” Clarke said during the hearing. “We have a diaspora that, that can absorb a significant number of these...

Jason Chaffetz has delivered a devastating exposé that should terrify every American who values his or her constitutional rights. Writing in the New York Post, the former House Oversight Committee chairman pulls back the curtain on what may be the most comprehensive assault on American democracy we've witnessed in our lifetime—and it's happening with our own tax dollars. Chaffetz revealed that the Biden administration didn't just weaponize federal agencies against political opponents; it orchestrated an elaborate data-theft operation that would make authoritarian regimes jealous. As Chaffetz explains, "Federal entities outsourced unlawful data collection to politically sympathetic partners. Rather than directly...

Auditors found one in 35 voters didn’t have proof of citizenship — then looked the other way.After revelations that Oregon’s “motor voter” system registered hundreds of possible noncitizens, the state government launched an audit. Auditors found one in 35 voters didn’t have proof of citizenship — then looked the other way.Oregon officials discovered in September hundreds of potential noncitizens had registered to vote. They examined limited data and eventually found the motor voter system had placed more than 1,600 possible ineligible voters on the rolls. State leaders commissioned an audit — which, as Oregon journalist Jeff Eager first reported, found...

Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday confirmed he's seriously considering two options to try to redraw California's congressional districts to get more Democrats elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. The update comes after President Donald Trump earlier this week urged Republican state lawmakers in Texas to help the party pick up five seats in that state. Gov. Greg Abbott has directed the state Legislature to discuss redistricting in an upcoming special legislative session. Unlike Texas, the California Legislature does not draw district maps. Every 10 years, the state's independent redistricting commission undertakes the work through a lengthy, citizen-led process. Voters...

Welcome to 2025, where we are still uncovering election fraud from the 2020 and 2022 elections. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is investigating more than 100 possible noncitizens who may have voted in both the 2020 and 2022 elections, casting more than 200 ballots. In this case, most of the suspected illegal ballots were cast in Harris County. Paxton is also investigating in Guadalupe, Cameron, and Eastland counties, based on information from the Texas Secretary of State. Add the possible 100 fraudulent voters announced this week to the 33 potential noncitizens who may have voted illegally in 2024. Paxton started...

Washington, D.C. council members voted to approve funding for ranked choice voting July 14 in the first of two votes on the District’s budget. The measure, known as Initiative 83, would allow unaffiliated voters to participate in the party primary of their choosing and gives voters the option to rank candidates on the ballot from their most desired contender to the least. The winning candidate must receive more than 50 percent of votes to advance as the elected official. If no candidate wins that majority, then an “instant runoff” occurs: The candidate who received the fewest first-choice rankings is eliminated,...

KSAT reported that Juan Manuel Medina, former Bexar County Democratic Party Chair and former San Antonio mayoral candidate, was among those indicted on two counts of ballot harvesting. Aformer Texas Democratic Party county chair and nine other party members have been indicted for alleged ballot harvesting, according to a local news report. Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton was behind the statewide investigation that led to the indictments. KSAT reported that Juan Manuel Medina, former Bexar County Democratic Party Chair and former San Antonio mayoral candidate, was among those indicted on two counts of ballot harvesting.

The New York City mayor's race is this way by design. The polls showing that Zohran Mamdani, a socialist and Muslim terror supporter who only became a citizenship in 2018, could become the mayor of New York City, where his compatriots murdered thousands of Americans, may or may not be true, but there’s no reason why they wouldn’t be. Mamdani is up against Cuomo, a repulsive and widely hated figure that opponents of the Muslim socialist are only getting behind because the alternative is even worse, and then Mayor Eric Adams, whom much of the city probably right believes is...

An appeals court on Friday revived a legal challenge against a Washington, D.C., law allowing noncitizens, including illegal migrants, the ability to vote in local elections. An Obama-appointed judge in March 2024 dismissed a lawsuit challenging the district law giving certain noncitizens the right to vote in elections within the District of Columbia, ruling that the plaintiffs did not have standing to sue. However, an appeals court Friday breathed life back into that challenge, finding that the law could dilute the voting power of citizens. “As long as each person can be said to have suffered a distinct and concrete...

Colorado .. tried to bar President Trump from the 2024 ballot—only to be rebuked unanimously by the Supreme Court—is now under scrutiny for far more than election antics. Colorado has become ground zero for judicial tyranny, a place where whistleblowers are crushed, innocent men are financially destroyed, and courtrooms operate more like cartel headquarters than halls of justice. The case of Tina Peters, the Mesa County clerk-turned-election integrity advocate, is finally drawing attention from the Department of Justice. After years of political persecution, Peters’ case has shifted from the DOJ Civil Division to the Criminal Division, with officials asking if...

Given the chance, Democrats will choose voter registration over deportation. On Wednesday, Rep. Maxwell Frost, D-Fla., suggested granting citizenship to every illegal alien in the country. According to Frost, if Republicans don’t want illegal aliens in America, the fix is simple — just make them legal. But his comments are revealing and expose the endgame of the modern Democrat Party: use the border crisis that they created to cement their permanent political power. And that’s exactly why President Donald Trump must follow through on mass deportations –with no exceptions — because given the chance, Democrats will choose voter registration over...

Rep. Abe Hamadeh (R-AZ) sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi on Tuesday, asking the DOJ to investigate “credible claims” of election security violations involving the Arizona-based ballot printing firm, Runbeck Election Services. Runbeck provides ballot printing and mail-in ballot services in 31 states and 54% of the nation’s voters, according to its website. The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on this shady private entity, which was founded by leftists and transports and scans Maricopa County mail-in ballots with no oversight or chain of custody before they are processed and counted by the County. As revealed in Trump-Endorsed former...

In a new legal memorandum filed with the New York Supreme Court, Fox News accused Smartmatic executives – including CEO Antonio Mugica – of “spoliation of records” related to the high-stakes lawsuit, which stems from Fox’s coverage of the 2020 election. The conservative network pointed to explosive internal communications to support its claims. “On the eve of filing this lawsuit, and while the U.S. Department of Justice was investigating Smartmatic and its executives for bribery and corruption, Smartmatic’s CEO Antonio Mugica, in writing, ordered Smartmatic’s President Roger Piñate Jr. – who has since been federally indicted for those crimes –...

Colorado’s Secretary of State revealed Wednesday that the U.S. Department of Justice asked Colorado to turn over all records that relate to the 2024 federal elections and preserve all records from the 2020 election. The election official sent an email highlighting reporting by NPR, which said the DOJ request was made on May 12. “What they’re going to do with all this data, I don’t know,” Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold, a Democrat, told NPR and shared with FOX31 via email. “But I’m sure they will use it to push their ridiculous disinformation and lies to the American public.”...

The team at AMERICAN RIGHTS ALLIANCE delivered, and special thanks to the great Patrick Byrne and Juan O'Savin for their incredible generosity and tireless dedication! This is gold, and we hope to see immediate action on the status for Tina Peters. I am honored to work with so many amazing and talented people! ...

At the same time, we need to see Justice for Mike Lindell’s case which is this week. I hope to...

Senior officials at the voting software company Smartmatic ordered the deletion and doctoring of evidence relevant to its ongoing defamation case against Fox News, a court filing made on Wednesday alleges. In its new memorandum filed with the New York Supreme Court, Fox News claimed that multiple Smartmatic officials — including its CEO — are complicit in the spoliation of records pertaining to the ongoing legal saga between the two companies. As The Federalist’s Beth Brelje previously reported, “Smartmatic seeks $2.7 billion from Fox in a years-long defamation case in which it accuses Fox of reporting without evidence that the...

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear an appeal brought by 11 Michigan lawmakers seeking to challenge controversial changes to state election law pushed through by progressive groups in 2018 and 2022. Left-wing groups took millions in ‘dark money’ to run statewide referendums to eliminate all voter integrity laws and make challenging elections extremely difficult. The funds could have come from anywhere, and well-known loopholes in campaign finance law allow ‘layering’ so that foreign governments and left-wing billionaires can donate funds to non-profits and then have those funds eventually transferred to 501(c)4 entities that can engage in ballot...

President Donald Trump blamed Joe Biden's White House team of "treasonous thugs" for hijacking control of the country due to the then-president's declining mental state. In a social media post Tuesday, Trump said Biden's team committed "treason" by opening the southern border to "criminals of all kinds, shapes, and sizes." "Joe Biden was not for Open Borders, he never talked about Open Borders, where criminals of all kinds, shapes, and sizes, can flow into our Country at will. It wasn't his idea to Open the Border, and almost destroy our Country, and cost us Hundreds of Billions of Dollars to...

Former Mesa County Clerk and Gold Star Mother, Tina Peters, is sitting in prison right now for preserving her own election records following the 2020 election before Dominion Voting Systems and Colorado Secretary of State, Jenna Griswold, could come in and erase them. Peters was following state and federal law to preserve those records, while Dominion and SOS Griswold are more likely the criminals unlawfully erasing them. This persecution of the innocent and promotion of criminality was a hallmark of the Biden era. Trump’s DOJ has filed a statement of interest in Peter’s case, and President Trump himself has called...

Customers rejected Smartmatic for reasons unrelated to Fox. For example, the filing said, Smartmatic’s equipment was not certified.. Both Fox News and Smartmatic, the voting software company, filed lengthy briefs Thursday arguing about Smartmatic’s past and predicted financial health. Fox’s filing reveals how Smartmatic was massively losing business long before Fox began reporting on it in 2020. Smartmatic’s filing, which includes many fully redacted pages, says that before the 2020 election, Smartmatic’s CEO believed the company to be “strategically positioned for multi-billion-dollar growth, given its global footprint, its track record,” and its breaking into the U.S. market with a contract...
