Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Mary Peltola’s campaign on Friday sued Alaska elections officials in an attempt to get access to records involving absentee ballots in Tuesday’s general election, asserting that the state is violating the Alaska Public Records Act. “The campaign is ensuring transparency, timeliness, and accuracy as the counting process continues and every Alaskans’ voice is heard,” the Peltola campaign said in statement about the lawsuit. The Alaska Department of Law has not filed a response to the lawsuit, but said in a statement Friday afternoon that state law does not require the release of the information and that...

Law professor Jonathan Turley posted on X on Friday, “Democrat Richard Ojeda, who was just elected to Congress, has declared that he would be 'happy to go to jail' if he has a chance to physically assault the incoming Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.” While I’d love to see the Secret Service, under whose protection Miller lives because of violent leftists threatening to murder him and his family in the name of “tolerance,” break Ojeda’s jaw as they threw him to the floor, I somehow suspect the unfortunate-looking Democrat is all talk, as most Democrats are. They’re all talk when...

Advertisers are fleeing a left-wing podcast whose hosts spent over 30 seconds laughing at the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan spent 30 seconds laughing about “digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again.” The comment referred to the assassination of husband and father Charlie Kirk, who traveled to Utah and was fatally shot in 2025 for challenging college students to prove him wrong. ... However, the podcasters have edited the segment after conservatives complained to the show's advertisers. Multiple sponsors have pulled their support.

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — A federal judge on Sunday dismissed a Justice Department lawsuit seeking to block certification of Alaska’s U.S. Senate race if Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan loses, the latest development in a ballot controversy that has roiled the final days of one of the nation’s most closely watched races. Sullivan, an ally of President Donald Trump, faces Democrat Mary Peltola, a former congresswoman, in a race that is among a handful expected to determine which party controls the Senate for the final two year’s of Trump’s term. Tuesday’s ranked-choice election also includes two candidates who have done little...

See BS exclusive: "EXCLUSIVE: Daniel J. Sullivan left his Alaska hometown days before reports about his ties to Peltola's campaign, sources say."

Democrats squirmed when Donald Trump accused them of fraud in the 2024 elections. It seemed almost comical that they would insist there were no irregularities, no cheating, no fraud. It was obvious, it was blatant, it was in your face. We saw pictures of men and women stuffing collection boxes with ballots. We were told not to believe our lying eyes. But people of the truth believe the truth, no matter how they find it. Perhaps it seems comical to them. Now, we have the Dan Sullivan fraud. They’re telling us not to believe our lying ears now. Perhaps we...

CBS’s Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan reportedly challenged CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss when Weiss asked reporters to investigate the scandal of Alaska’s ballot controversy. Fox News reported that several CBS staffers downplayed a New York Times report detailing how Democrats placed a decoy “Dan Sullivan” on the ballot to confuse voters and give Democrat candidate Mary Peltola an advantage in the Senate race. The New York Times reported that Peltola has ordered a staffer in Summer 2025 to find “as many people named Dan Sullivan in Alaska as you can.” ... The Justice Department has reportedly started investigating...

The Justice Department is seeking to block Alaska’s election certification if Sen. Dan Sullivan narrowly loses, adding legal uncertainty to a race that could shape Senate control after Tuesday’s vote... The Justice Department filed a revised lawsuit on Thursday seeking to block certification of Alaska's election results if Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan loses narrowly, citing a New York Times report that Democratic operatives recruited a candidate with the same first and last names. The suit raises the prospect of a messy fight over a contest that could determine Senate control in next Tuesday's midterm elections...

Alaska’s Republican governor announced early Thursday he was ordering an investigation into whether members of Democrat Mary Peltola’s Senate campaign should face criminal charges following the revelation that they recruited a candidate with the same name as GOP Sen. Dan Sullivan in a bid to siphon votes away from the incumbent. After the plot was revealed in a Wednesday New York Times report, Gov. Mike Dunleavy described it as “an organized effort to manipulate Alaska’s elections by recruiting candidates—including one with the same name as an incumbent U.S. Senator—to deliberately confuse voters and misdirect their votes.” “I am therefore directing...

...Judge James Boasberg, who confronted the Trump administration over its 2025 deportation flights, was a nine-time host for a Chinese law exchange funded by a Chinese Communist Party-linked spy front. Six of those annual host credits came while Boasberg served on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. One came in 2020, when he was its presiding judge. The court reviews some of the government’s most sensitive applications for foreign-intelligence surveillance and searches.... ...CUSEF, is part of Beijing’s United Front system, which combines political influence with intelligence operations. ...

Alaska’s first two ranked-choice elections were embarrassments, marked by complexity, confusion and delay. But, oh, for the good old days of mere humiliation. This year operatives finally cracked the many devious ways the system can be outright gamed. Alaska is now the poster child for dirty-pool politics. Alaskans won’t know until the end of August which “final four” candidates for each office will be on their ranked-choice November ballot after this week’s jungle primary. Residents will need that time to recover from the trauma of a monthslong campaign in which they were not valued as “we the people,” but duped...

A trainee barrister who was allegedly caught driving a car bomb towards Northern Ireland in a suspected New IRA operation spent time in Syria, her lawyer said. Isobella Perrie Sullivan, 25, was arrested after Irish police said they made an 'extremely significant seizure' of a device on Wednesday. The force said the device, which was made from military-grade plastic, could have caused significant damage. It is understood to be the most sophisticated bomb seized by police since the Troubles. A man in his 40s was also arrested in the major investigation, with Irish news outlets reporting that the man was...

The Alaska Division of Elections has preliminarily determined that Dan J. Sullivan from Petersburg is not eligible to run for office, following a probe into allegations from Republicans that he is attempting to rig the election to draw votes from the U.S. senator of the same name. “Based on a review of the evidence presented and in the Division’s possession, the Division has determined that the preponderance of evidence does not support your eligibility for the office of United States Senator,” Carol Beecher, director of the Division of Elections, said in a letter to Dan J. Sullivan on Wednesday.

Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan’s re-election campaign is accusing one of his opponents in Alaska and Democrats in Washington of recruiting a candidate with the same first and last name: Dan Sullivan. “Mary Peltola and D.C. Democrats know they can’t win this race on the issues, so they’ve resorted to dirty, dishonest tactics — recruiting a sham candidate with the sole purpose of deceiving voters and manipulating Alaska’s election system,” Nate Adams, the senator’s campaign spokesman, said in a statement Tuesday.

Democrats have received some unlikely good news that challenger Mary Peltola maintains a lead against incumbent Senator Dan Sullivan of Alaska, a Republican, after six months of polling. The most recent data revealed by Alaska Survey Research (ASR) found that Peltola has 52.4 percent support from respondents when undecided voters are removed from the equation, maintaining her majority lead from the October and January polls; this is a nearly five-point advantage over Sullivan, who has 47.6 percent support. Why It Matters Historically, the ruling party suffer significant losses if they also control the White House during the sitting president’s first...

***At the center of this shocking discovery is what investigators are calling the “Magic Mortgage” Money Laundering Scheme, which appears to be tied directly to ActBlue and its donor channels. This scheme allegedly uses inflated property sales and rapid same-day flips as a pipeline to funnel illicit funds through the U.S. financial and political systems.In a years-long investigation, Finchem’s team, along with whistleblower Shawn Taylor, a former law enforcement officer from Millersville, Tennessee, have uncovered patterns of multiple same-day property transfers where values were inflated by as much as 100 times the original sale amount within hours.***The Press Release That...

FBI Director Kash Patel has fired agents involved in tracking phone calls of eight Republican senators and a congressman as part of former Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation of President Donald Trump. Communication records belonging to GOP Sens. Lindsey Graham (SC), Marsha Blackburn (TN), Ron Johnson (WI), Josh Hawley (MO), Cynthia Lummis (WY), Bill Hagerty (TN), Dan Sullivan (AK), Tommy Tuberville (AL), and Rep. Mike Kelly (PA) were handed over to Smith’s “Arctic Frost” team after they subpoenaed major phone companies in 2023, Breitbart News reported. That fact was unknown to the public until this week, with Patel saying he...

Texas Republican Congressman Brandon Gil has filed articles of impeachment against US District Judge James Boasberg amid revelations that the Obama-appointed activist approved secret subpoenas to seize private phone records of Senators in the sham “Arctic Frost” investigation. It was revealed last week that the FBI and DOJ weaponized their power to target President Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence, and their allies to dig up dirt on Republicans and activists who participated in efforts to overturn the rigged 2020 election. As The Gateway Pundit reported, Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley said last week that “197 subpoenas were issued...
