WASHINGTON — As the Republican Party gears up for the 2024 presidential race, there’s a large image in the rearview mirror that refuses to go away: The 2020 presidential election. About a week ago, the Colorado GOP selected a 2020 election denier to lead the party for the next two years. That came weeks after the Michigan Republicans selected a 2020 denier to lead their party as well. When a party loses a presidential election, typically it sorts through the wreckage and figures out how to move forward. The GOP, however, has not done this following the aftermath of the...

Ready to read about a real-life Orwellian nightmare that happened right here in the good ol' US of A? The bureaucrats at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention bought data from tracking companies to monitor Americans' locations in real-time during the reign of COVID, according to contracts obtained by the Epoch Times. The CDC paid $420,000 to one company and $208,000 to another, gaining access to location data from a minimum of 55 million cellphone users, the purchase orders show.

In just over two weeks, the two candidates — progressive Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Janet Protasiewicz and Daniel Kelly, a conservative former State Supreme Court justice — will face off in a race that will, on the face of it, be about abortion, but in reality, is a race to tip the closest state in the country toward the Democrats. How? The last time the Supreme Court dealt with redistricting, it punted back to state supreme courts. This is why North Carolina is now redrawing its map after Republicans took control of its Supreme Court. Wisconsin will redraw its...

Since Missouri, Florida, and West Virginia’s recent withdrawal from the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) — a widely used voter-roll management group with ties to left-wing activists — last week, America’s legacy media have been in freak-out mode. In uniform fashion, leftist outlets have labeled the legitimate concerns raised by the aforementioned states as “conspiracy theories” promoted by “election deniers” and “right-wing media.” As The Federalist’s Victoria Marshall reported, publications like The New York Times and Associated Press have gone out of their way to run grossly dishonest headlines such as “G.O.P. States Abandon Bipartisan Voting Integrity Group, Yielding to...

Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign had “surreptitious involvement” in organizing a letter written by 51 former intelligence officials that falsely claimed the New York Post’s story about Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation, according to a complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission on Wednesday. The complaint, from lawyers for former President Donald Trump, asks the FEC to record the infamous “Dirty 51” letter as an “in-kind contribution” to Biden’s campaign because it allegedly was used to influence the outcome of the election. The Oct. 19, 2020, letter was signed by 51 ex-spooks, including five former or acting CIA directors...

First elected to represent Montana in the Senate in 2007, Tester has attempted to mark his role in the upper chamber as a "tireless defender of rural America." His net worth is between $1,768,009 and $6,695,000, according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) data from 2021. Additionally, Tester reported thousands of dollars worth of stock and other investments, as well as bank deposits, in the 2021 records. While his net worth is partially made up of the value of his farmland and associated assets he owns, Tester's campaign and leadership PAC have spent at least $1.2 million on restaurants and on...

Why was the January 6th riot allowed to happen in the first place? The Nazi party used two events to cement its political power prior to World War II. One was the killing of Ernest von Rath by Herschel Grynszpan in London in November 1938. The murder was quickly adapted by the Nazi leadership into a pretext for the Kristallnacht attack on German Jews. Hundreds of synagogues were destroyed by brown shirts (and not the angered populace as Goebbels claimed) as were thousands of Jewish businesses. The murder of von Rath led to the death of nearly 100 Jews and...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal prosecutors are employing an unusual strategy to prove leaders of the far-right Proud Boys extremist group orchestrated a violent plot to keep President Joe Biden out of the White House, even though some of the defendants didn’t carry out the violence themselves. As they wrap up their seditious conspiracy case, prosecutors are arguing that Proud Boys chief Enrique Tarrio and other leaders of the group handpicked and mobilized a loyal group of foot soldiers — or “tools” — to supply the force necessary to carry out their plot to stop the transfer of power from Donald...

Patrick Rooney, host of "DECLARATION of Independence," sits down with Professor David Clements, a leading voice for stopping the use of election machines and returning to paper ballots. Professor Clements was fired from his teaching position at New Mexico State University for his bold stance against their masking and vaccine mandates.

Some 40 million people have had their student-debt payments paused because the government thinks they need the help. But one big financial technology company, which refinances student loans, disapproves of the public policy and wants the payments resumed immediately to help its bottom line. SoFi Technologies, a financial technology company involved in the student loan refinancing business, is suing the Department of Education over the student loan payment pause. In a suit filed in federal court late last week, the company alleges that the latest extension of the COVID-era pause on student loan payments, interest and collections “is unlawful on...

Industrial-scale fraud, committed by organized actors, accelerates over time like a drug-resistant bacterium. If you want to know how America is going to get screwed in 2024, follow the dough. That is the Zuckerberg dough. Zuck and pals are spending tens of millions of dollars, not padding voter rolls, not fighting lawsuits, not getting voters out early… they are spending the dough infiltrating and controlling election commissions. For those who think cleaning the voter rolls and voting early are enough protect 2024, our data proves you are delusional. The Left is all in controlling election commissions. Expect Kari Lake’s outcome...

If you didn't like yesterday's post on why President Trump can't be the GOP nominee in 2024, you're going to love this! As a buddy of mine might say right now, "If I thought the way you did, I'd probably put a gun to my head." Not to worry, while the title of this post tells you I'm not going to sugarcoat things, despair and surrender are the last things on my mind. So let's get to this, and hang with me to the end. One last admin note, as longtime readers know, on the rare occasions that I use...

The founder of FTX used executives as cut-outs for donations, prosecutors allege... That Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder and former chief executive of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX that recently filed for bankruptcy, was aggressively using campaign donations as part of a campaign to woo Washington toward his vision of cryptocurrency regulation was no secret — nor was it a secret that other FTX executives quickly became some of the country’s biggest political donors to both Republicans and Democrats, especially those who work on financial regulation. But a new federal criminal indictment alleges that things may have been even simpler than they...

A computer programmer who previously testified to Congress on the integrity of voting machines has warned lawmakers in Arizona never to trust them. “Don’t use machines, because you can never, ever trust them to give you a fair election. There are too many ways to hack them. You can hack them at the level that I did when you first build them, you can hack them from the outside, you can hack them with programs that load themselves on the side. It’s impossible to secure them. You will never beat the programmer. The programmer always owns the universe,” explained Clinton...

On February 15, 2023, Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen made an unannounced visit to the published address of the headquarters of the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) at 1201 Connecticut Ave NW Ste 600 in Washington, DC. Upon arriving at the address, Allen found that the location was actually the home of a virtual shared workspace and that no ERIC headquarters existed at the location. “I was in DC for a meeting of the National Association of Secretaries of States and, since I was in town, I went to see the ERIC Headquarters,” Allen explained. “What I found was...

Back in September of 2022, forensics expert Erich Speckin discovered over 10,000 ballots in Pennsylvania’s Allegheny County that had substantially inferior image quality compared to other ballots provided: “Many of these images have similar defects in the printing/copying process which would indicate common source of production, but different than the remaining examined ballots. Clearly in the mail in counting area, a random printing defect that may have existed in mailing out of ballots could not consistently come back and be counted on the same scanner. Therefore, a printing defect on the printing side of the ballot creation is not the...

PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) -- Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has released three separate documents related to the investigation into the 2020 General Election. In a news release issued Wednesday morning, the AG’s office said that agents and staff spent 10,000 hours looking at any possible irregularities and pieces of evidence of voter fraud but lacked to find any. “In each instance and in each matter, the aforementioned parties did not provide any evidence to support their allegations. The information that was provided was speculative in many instances and when investigated by our agents and support staff, was found to be...

Justices turned down a request for rehearing by Raland Brunson, a Utah man who brought the case. Justices did not explain their decision and a vote tally was not made available. The court periodically releases lists of orders, and the Feb. 21 list included the decision on Brunson v. Alma Adams.

A group of Israeli contractors, code-named "Team Jorge," has been exposed in an undercover investigation for allegedly manipulating over 30 global elections, using tactics including hacking, sabotage and the use of automated misinformation on social media. Reporters from 30 international media outlets, including Der Spiegel, Le Monde, El País and The Guardian, were part of the consortium that conducted the investigation. Forbidden Stories, a French non-profit organisation that aims to continue the work of journalists who have been assassinated, threatened, or imprisoned, coordinated the project. According to The Guardian, three reporters approached Team Jorge as potential clients and filmed footage...

Rep. Greg Stuebe seeks to prove that being a citizen requires more than just showing up. On Friday, the Sarasota Republican announced that he had introduced a bill to repeal certain provisions of the 1993 National Voter Registration Act, more commonly known as the “Motor Voter” law.
