Thousands of Alabama Mercedes-Benz workers will vote in May to determine if they want United Auto Workers (UAW) union representation. The election is set for May 13-17 and will be held in person in Vance, Ala. The National Labor Relations Board, which will administer the vote, will count the ballots on May 17. The vote comes as around 4,300 workers at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, Tenn., are voting this week on union representation, the results of which are expected Friday. The development is part of UAW’s push to unionize workers at auto manufacturing factories in Southern states.

Former Attorney General Bill Barr said Wednesday on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom” that he will support Donald Trump in November. Barr said, “The real threat to liberty, the real threat to our system, are the excesses of the progressive left. They are perverting the system of justice and that’s where the danger lies. The corruption and subversion of our institutions by the left.” Co-host Bill Hemmer said, “I heard you call this hush money case outrageous. I also know you’ve been asked many times and had disagreements with the former president. He is the presumptive nominee and we assume...

Do As We Say, Not As We Do: “I do find it ironic that a group that supposedly promotes ‘free speech for people’ organized a campaign to make sure that the opinions and views of people like me are not heard,” Mitchell told the DCNF. A federal agency did not reappoint a former Trump advisor to an elections advisory board called the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) after a left-wing activist group threatened to launch a public criticism campaign, according to emails obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. Cleta Mitchell, a lawyer who is now the senior legal fellow at...

. . . some states have so many registration requests from “non-drivers” (no valid ID) that it is hard to imagine an even larger number of requests from legitimate drivers. An oddity of the list is that the majority of the most suspicious states (UT, WY, MS, ND, TX, AZ, AK, GA, MT) are red states, and the least suspicious (DL, SC, ME, NM, MI, WI, CT) are blue. Almost as if someone is trying to pad the rolls in red states as the first stage of an attempted takeover by infusion of fake ballots. . . .

Two Weeks to Flatten Became Eight Months to Change the Election In 1845, Congress established Election Day as the Tuesday after the first Monday of November. The Act sought “to establish a uniform time” for Americans to cast their ballots for president. Historically, voters needed to provide a valid reason – such as illness or military service – to qualify for absentee ballots.But Covid served as a pretext to overturn that tradition. Just 25% of votes in 2020 occurred at the polls on Election Day. Mail-in voting more than doubled. Key swing states eliminated the need to provide a valid...

Former Trump Defense Secretary Mark Esper on Friday said he is not voting for his old boss but left the door open to voting for President Biden. “I’m not there yet,” Esper said after being asked by comedian Bill Maher on his HBO show, “Real Time with Bill Maher,” if he would vote for the current president. “I’m definitely not voting for [former President Trump], but I’m not there yet.” Trump announced that he fired Esper from his position as Defense Secretary back in November 2020, following Biden being projected to win the 2020 presidential race. He has since become...

A Texas appeals court on Thursday overturned the illegal voting conviction of Crystal Mason, who was given a five-year prison sentence for casting a provisional ballot in the 2016 election while on supervised release for federal tax evasion. The decision by the Tarrant County-based Second Court of Appeals means she is formally acquitted of the felony voting charge. The court said in the decision that there was no evidence Mason knew she was ineligible to vote when she cast her ballot — which is a condition that must be met in order to convict her of illegal voting. Mason has...

Former Trump administration communications director Anthony Scaramucci said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that he is working to “split the Republicans” and make sure that “these people either don’t vote or they vote for Joe Biden.” Scaramucci said, “I would say to you and other people that are listening here, it’s one day and one step at a time. I’m going to do my job or my part in this. I certainly love Liz Cheney for what she’s doing. We’d like to get Paul Ryan out there. Secretary Esper has told people publicly that I may not like President Biden’s policies,...

Congress will vote Friday on a $1.2 trillion, 1,000-plus page spending bill revealed Thursday just before 3:00 a.m. The bill will start in the House, where Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) will move the bill under “suspension of the rules.” Johnson repeatedly has used suspension of the rules — which requires two-thirds support but bypasses procedural opposition from conservatives — to advance legislation lacking broad Republican support. Suspension of the rules also enables Johnson to bypass a requirement that Congress receive at least 72 hours to review legislation before voting on it.

By Executive Order, the Biden Administration weaponized all agencies of the federal government to push voter registration in populations where eligibility statuses cannot be effectively tracked, like students, prisoners, and noncitizens. Then, they opened the borders to a tsunami of illegal immigrants. In just the last three years, over 10,000,000 illegal aliens have been added to the federal dole, being flown on your dime to battleground states across the country. But the Biden regime, parroted by mainstream media, are quick to stress that illegal immigrants, or as the Administration is now calling them “New Americans”, wouldn’t dare vote because they...

Sen. Todd Young (R-IN) will not vote for his own party’s nominee for president, he said Tuesday. The establishment politician’s statement that he will not vote for Donald Trump comes days after the former president locked up the party’s nomination. Young had indicated earlier he would not endorse Trump, but Tuesday is the first time he admitted publicly he will not even vote for his party’s standard bearer. “At some point, principled conservatives need to incentivize our party, the Republican Party, to nominate somebody that principled conservatives can actually believe in,” Young told a local Indiana outlet. “Stated differently, I’m...

Hollywood legend Rita Moreno, who turned 92 in December, sharply criticized the rhetoric comparing former President Trump’s 91 criminal charges to President Biden’s age of 81. In an interview on “The View,” Moreno said the presidential candidates’ apparent political weaknesses are not comparable, but she’s not surprised that many focus on Biden’s age, pointing to the political climate. “Actually, I’m not surprised given the tenor of what’s going on in this country right now,” Moreno said, when asked what she makes of the discussion.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) said Saturday that she “could not” vote for either former President Trump or President Biden in the 2024 election, opening the door to third-party support as the candidates likely face off in a general election rematch. Murkowski told NBC News that she “could not” vote for Trump, but added that, “I can’t vote for Biden.” The moderate Republican endorsed Nikki Haley against Trump for the GOP presidential nomination on Friday, calling her someone with the “right values, vigor, and judgment to serve as our next President.” But Haley faces a tough battle to challenge Trump for...

Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) said Wednesday on CNN’s “The Source” that he would never vote for former President Donald Trump for president over President Joe Biden. Anchor Kaitlan Collins asked, “Would you vote for Donald Trump over Joe Biden?” Romney said, “No, no, no, absolutely not.” He continued, “For me there two the factors for decided who I want to have as the leader of my country, and the person who is the example of the president for my kids, my grandkids. One is their position and policies. And on foreign policy I’m not aligned with Donald Trump, at least...
