After the election offices of Georgia’s most populous county were raided last month, the FBI has disclosed information indicating where its investigation is heading.FBI agents are seen at the facility in Union City, Ga., on Jan. 28, 2026. Federal laws may have been broken during the 2020 election according to the affidavit supporting the court-approved raid. Yet the breadth of the materials seized shows the FBI may be able to check the integrity of the ballots more broadly, uncovering further issues or putting speculation to bed.President Donald Trump’s campaign challenged the Georgia election most vigorously, as he lost the state...

Tampering with federal election results is against the law, and a new study by Unite4Freedom exposes an explosive problem—federal election records of the vote are changing after the election has been certified. Is this Malice, ignorance or pathetically pervasive Apathy (MIA) by our election officials?

Top U.S. intelligence agencies are cooperating with Kurt Olsen, who worked with Trump to undermine the results of the 2020 election. President Donald Trump has directed top U.S. spy agencies to share sensitive intelligence about the 2020 election with his former campaign lawyer, known for pushing debunked theories of electoral fraud, according to four people with knowledge of the effort. The intelligence that top U.S. spy agencies are furnishing to Kurt Olsen — now a temporary government employee in the White House — is meant to support a probe he is leading into whether Joe Biden’s 2020 election win was...

The only people worried about ICE at the polls either shouldn’t be at the polls or are benefiting from the votes of people who shouldn’t be at the polls. White House ‘can’t guarantee’ ICE won’t be at polls – Democracy Docket Senate Democrat ‘greatly afraid’ of ICE being used for voter intimidation Yesterday – The Hill ‘Worst-case scenarios’: How Democratic election officials are preparing for potential Trump intrusion in the midterms – CNN And here we go… “I am, we are all, greatly afraid with these roving ICE vans that we see in Minneapolis and other cities. Could those ICE...

Democrats have spent years insisting illegal immigrants do not vote, yet Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries just gave the whole game away. In a letter to GOP leadership, they demanded a slate of “reforms” to immigration enforcement as the price for funding the Department of Homeland Security, including targeted enforcement, no masks, mandatory use of body cameras, and other demands, several of which I suspect are nonstarters. I don’t see Democrats getting anywhere with these, but the big thing is that buried in that list is a rather revealing demand: Protect Sensitive Locations -...

The modern US Senate operates under a belief that is nearly universal and almost entirely false. Major legislation, we are told, requires 60 votes to pass. Without those votes, the chamber is paralyzed. Bills stall. Leaders shrug. The minority is said to have spoken. This belief is repeated so often that it has taken on the status of constitutional fact. I assumed it was true. It is nothing of the kind. There is no rule of the Senate, no clause of the Constitution, and no settled historical practice that requires 60 votes for the passage of ordinary legislation. The 60...

Currently, Trump is the only one who can make the SAVE Act happen, yet he seems to have no interest in doing so. Recently, I wrote a piece that received some pushback. I wondered if Donald Trump was making the same mistake as George Bush Sr. did when he broke his “Read my lips: No new taxes” pledge. If you read my work regularly, you’ll notice a decidedly clear bias towards warnings of doom. It’s not my default position that life is nothing but doom and gloom. On the contrary. I actually have a website that explicitly talks about how...

The House of Representatives passed a $1.2 trillion funding deal to end the four-day partial government shutdown Tuesday, sending it to President Trump’s desk for his expected signature. Lawmakers voted 217-214 to pass the compromise funding package, which cleared the Senate late Friday and keeps about 97% of the government operating through Sept. 30. Now Congress faces a 10-day scramble to negotiate a deal to fund the Department of Homeland Security before its key agencies run out of cash Feb. 13, a timeline Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) described as “an impossibility.” *** The GOP holdouts were mainly miffed...

An official in Fulton County, Georgia, has announced the county will challenge the legality of the FBI’s search and seizure of 2020 election records. Commissioner Marvin Arrington Jr. said the effort will seek to “force the government to return the ballots taken.” Arrington said that the county’s attorneys are expected to file a motion in federal court in the Northern District of Georgia to fight the action of Trump’s Justice Department and the FBI. The FBI served a warrant last Wednesday at the Fulton County election office, near Atlanta, Georgia, taking 700 boxes of election materials as it probes alleged...

LARGE crowds of male migrants queued up to get paperwork in Spain after the country’s socialist PM offered to legalise the status of some half a million foreign nationals. Tech mogul Elon Musk then got into a row with left wing PM Pedro Sánchez on X over the policy, as the CEO re-shared a post which called the policy “electoral engineering”. The plan will give legal status to all foreign nationals who can prove they do not have a criminal record and had lived in Spain for at least five months before the start of 2026. Once approved, migrants will...

A federal judge in Oregon dismissed a Justice Department lawsuit seeking Oregon’s unredacted voter rolls on Monday in another setback to wide-ranging efforts by President Donald Trump’s administration to get detailed voter data from states. In a hearing, U.S. District Judge Mustafa Kasubhai said he would dismiss the suit and issue a final written opinion in the coming days. The updated docket for the case showed that Oregon’s move to dismiss the case was granted. Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield welcomed the move. “The court dismissed this case because the federal government never met the legal standard to get these...

With Democrats pushing a number of progressive policies now that they are in control of Virginia, a Virginia state Democrat is working to ban immigration agents from operating near polling places. Democrat Virginia Del. Alfonso H. Lopez introduced the bill, which has been described as a “safeguard.” The bill, HB 1442, would amend the Code of Virginia to prohibit law enforcement from “any act for the purpose or in furtherance of enforcement of federal immigration laws” within 40 feet of a polling place. The move has left Republicans wondering why a Democrat would move to prevent immigration law enforcement at...

e know that Democrat politicians and judges can be vicious and corrupt, but with regard to Tina Peters, they outdid themselves. Tina Peters has been sitting in a Colorado state prison since October 2024. During the 2020 election, Tina Peters was the top election official in Mesa County Colorado. In October 2024, the 70-year-old widow was sentenced to nine years in prison by District Court Judge Matthew Barrett. Given the lengthy sentence, you might think that Peters molested a child, pushed someone onto a subway track, or stole $50,000 from a Mesa County bank. You’d be wrong. To Colorado Democrats,...

A federal judge Thursday dealt a significant legal setback to the Trump administration in its efforts to obtain voter data held by states. In a 33-page order, U.S. District Judge David O. Carter in California dismissed a lawsuit that sought to give the Justice Department access to the Democratic-led state’s voter files, including records like Social Security numbers and driver’s license information. California is one of 23 states, along with Washington, D.C., that the Justice Department has sued for refusing to hand over the voter data. The lawsuit against California was filed in September. “Clean voter rolls are the foundation...

n Monday, Nicaragua’s ruling Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) initiated an overhaul of the country’s constitution that will codify the rule of longtime dictator Daniel Ortega and his wife, Rosario Murillo, as “co-presidents.” The reform follows an escalating campaign of persecution against the Catholic Church, the last bastion of opposition against the Ortegas, who nonetheless claim that their regime is a beacon of “Christian socialism.” Days prior, they had celebrated the New Year by expelling all Catholic nuns from the country. Nicaragua’s attacks on the Church and broader descent into tyranny culminates the stunning fall from grace of an erstwhile...

SummaryThe video states that Trump's task force, in coordination with DOJ, FBI, state attorneys general, and lawsuits, is preparing to release comprehensive proof from White House meetings, including eyewitnesses, civil and federal cases, and RNC suits, confirming fraud in battleground and other states.The video presents the following claims of election fraud evidence, primarily focused on the 2020 U.S. presidential election, with some references to other elections:Voting Machines Manipulation: Machines contain built-in computer chips smuggled from China through Taiwan and sent to Venezuela, enabling remote access and vote flipping via hidden cell phone chips. This system has allegedly operated for over...

Colorado Tells DOJ ‘Take a Hike’ as It Rejects Demand for Statewide Voter Data “We will not comply with the Trump Department of Justice’s request for Coloradans’ sensitive voting information,” Griswold said in a statement. “The DOJ can take a hike; it does not have a legal right to the information. Colorado will not help Donald Trump undermine our elections and hurt the American people.” The U.S. Department of Justice asked Colorado to share unredacted voter information, according to Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold, and the state “Will Not Comply"

OLYMPIA, Wash. — The U.S. Department of Justice, under President Donald Trump, filed a lawsuit on Tuesday accusing Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs of violating federal law by refusing to hand over the state’s full voter registration database, including protected personal information, as part of a federal election-compliance review. According to the complaint, federal attorneys say Hobbs unlawfully rejected a September request for an unredacted electronic copy of Washington’s statewide voter registration list — including names, addresses, dates of birth, driver’s license numbers, and the last four digits of Social Security numbers — along with voter registration application records...

n September the U.S. Justice Department Civil Rights Division filed federal lawsuits against six states for failure to produce their statewide voter registration lists upon request: — California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania. As the Globe said at the time, “That the DOJ is hauling California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania into court for hiding their voter rolls is monumental, and specifically the accountability Americans have been clamoring for.” Today, the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division did it again, but filed federal lawsuits against six additional states — Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island,...

California and New York actually banned use of ID to vote! It is illegal to show your ID in those states. The only reason to do this is fraud.
