On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “AC360,” CNN Senior Political and Global Affairs Commentator, former U.S. Ambassador to Japan, former Chicago Mayor, and former Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel stated that “you can’t get tariffs high enough for me” on China due to their intellectual property theft and economic spying, but the Trump tariff plan is pushing Japan and South Korea towards China. Emanuel said that the Trump tariff plan is more damaging to America’s allies than its adversaries and added, “[J]ust take one part of the world I’m very familiar with in Asia, China, you can’t get tariffs high...

A Chicago alderman told Fox News Digital on Wednesday that city officials still want to divert funding away from the police department, even though the city was once again the nation’s homicide capital in 2024. “I said this for the last two mayors, too,” said 41st Ward Alderman Anthony Napolitano. “It’s not even so much so that these last two administrations are turning a blind eye. They’re ignoring the crime rate because their objective … is to demonize the police department, make it seem like there’s not there’s not as much of a crime issue as there is, because their...

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) apparently wants America to mimic Denmark’s financial system in a pivot that would further burden taxpayers. In a recent social media post, Sanders suggested the United States adopt the Dane’s system wherein steep taxes ensure citizens may enjoy universal healthcare, a college education at no cost, and guaranteed paid leave, Shore News Network reported. Denmark controls Greenland, and President Donald Trump said in December prior to his inauguration that American ownership of Greenland is an “absolute necessity” for national security and freedom, per Breitbart News. Sanders appeared to be referring to that issue in his social...

Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that the Trump administration deporting people illegally here who steal was a “terrible overreach.” Host Kristen Welker said, “Let’s talk about President Trump’s agenda now, particularly on immigration and the border. Congress, of course, passed a bill to address the border. Some of your Democratic colleagues from border states actually signed on. This is the Laken Riley Act, a bill, just so folks understand, that would effectively allow law enforcement to detain and deport those who have been convicted of theft-related crimes. in a statement explaining his vote your...

On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) stated that while he wants to see the city’s sanctuary city laws reformed, “for those who commit serious crimes in our city and those who are repeated offenders in our city, particularly violent crimes” “We’re not talking about those who steal an apple.” And also stated that “when you have toothpaste locked up,” it’s a “symbol of urban surrender.” Adams stated, “I am looking forward to sitting down and speaking with the border czar next week. I believe we have a meeting on the 12th, and...

....Through the increasingly common process known as “ballot curing,” campaigns are contacting voters whose ballots were not counted because of a technicality and giving them a chance to correct their mistakes. That could mean asking them to correct their address or add their signature to an envelope they forgot to sign. The stakes are especially high in California’s battleground districts, where voters could determine which party will control the House of Representatives next year. Of the 11 congressional races nationwide where the Associated Press has not called a winner as of Wednesday, five are in California. Republicans need only one...

The CEO of a company behind the app that failed Monday night as it was being used to report results in the Iowa Democratic Caucuses says his team feels "terrible" for contributing to the chaos.

Mail-in ballots are being requested, by the thousands, in locations which are undeliverable – in Wisconsin. If nobody is there, who the hell is requesting that ballot?

Welcome to the 2024 steal – you are watching the work of Leftist NGOs, operating in unison ... Wisconsin will be decided likely by 25,000 votes, perhaps fewer. Yet already...

Democrats have devised a brilliant plan to steal our election in 2024—and it’s really quite simple. By telegraphing to the American people that they believe the key to winning our elections is getting 9 million individuals to vote for Kamala Harris from a pool of 2.4 million eligible overseas voters in total (according to US government data), Democrats essentially remove the shock value when it’s announced they only achieved a percentage of their goal when it’s revealed they received millions of new overseas votes.

Pay Attention. In 2020 President Trump won more votes than any sitting president in US history. Trump increased his vote totals by 12 million votes in 2020 over his first presidential victory in 2016. Trump won 16 of 17 bellwether counties and allegedly lost the election. Something that had never happened in 36 years. Trump won the bellwether states, Ohio, Florida, and Iowa handily, something EVERY winning candidate has accomplished since 1960. Biden won the fewest number of counties in the 2020 election by any alleged “winner” in history – winning only 16% of all US counties. In this same...

When the polls closed on election night in 2020, President Donald Trump appeared to be winning Pennsylvania. But over the next several days, as officials counted mail-in ballots, his lead shrunk and then disappeared. By Saturday, Joe Biden was the clear winner of Pennsylvania — and with it, the presidency. --SNIP-- If the electoral college comes down to Pennsylvania or Wisconsin, we might still face a long period where we don’t know the winner,” said Rachel Orey, an elections expert at the Bipartisan Policy Center.

Venezuelan Dictator Nicolas Maduro was declared the "winner" of the presidential election by the nation's election council on Monday morning. That came after exit polls showed him losing by as much as 30 points. Reports of Maduro's armed thugs closing down polling sites and stealing ballot boxes were prevalent throughout the process, all but confirming that the election was indeed stolen. ... What happens next is clear. Maduro will strengthen his grip on power instead of stepping down peacefully. As the saying goes, you can vote your way into socialism, but you have to shoot your way out. ... While...

We should eliminate electronic voting machines. The risk of being hacked by humans or AI, while small, is still too high. ... Puerto Rico’s primary elections just experienced hundreds of voting irregularities related to electronic voting machines, according to the Associated Press. Luckily, there was a paper trail so the problem was identified and vote tallies corrected. What happens in jurisdictions where there is no paper trail? US citizens need to know that every one of their votes were counted, and that their elections cannot be hacked. We need to return to paper ballots to avoid electronic interference with elections....

The ex-diversity program manager for Facebook and Nike who stole more than $5 million from the mega companies to fund her “luxury lifestyle” was sentenced Monday to five years behind bars — and ordered to pay back the hefty sum. Barbara Furlow-Smiles, 38, set up fake business deals, invoices and events — including a Juneteenth celebration — to line her own pockets, the Justice Department said. “Furlow-Smiles shamelessly violated her position of trust as a DEI executive at Facebook to steal millions from the company utilizing a scheme involving fraudulent vendors, fake invoices, and cash kickbacks,” said US Attorney Ryan...
