Questions About California’s Voter Rolls

Posted on by

On Monday, The Gateway Pundit posted an article about a report by Nick Shirley on California’s voter rolls. There are some serious questions about the current elections for Mayor of Los Angeles and Governor of California that may never be answered, but the discoveries of Nick Shirley are very interesting.

The article reports:

This is the Democrat Party’s idea of “secure” elections in their one-party utopia.

Investigative reporter Nick Shirley — the same journalist whose explosive February 2026 video we reported on here at The Gateway Pundit — knocking on doors and exposing the rotting corpse of the state’s Democrat-controlled election system, and the latest clip is pure fire.

Meet Doris. She lives in California. According to the California Secretary of State’s own voter rolls, she is 126 years old and has cast ballots in 51 elections.

There’s just one small problem.

Doris is not 126 years old. She was born in 1940. That makes her roughly 86 years old. She’s never voted in 51 elections. And when Nick Shirley showed up at her door to ask about it, she was stunned.

Nick Shirley and his team went straight to the address listed on the official rolls to confirm what the Democrat-run bureaucracy is hiding.

The article includes the interaction between Nick Shirley and Doris. She states that she did not vote in 51 elections. I think it may be long past time to clean up California’s voter rolls. Congress also needs to pass the SAVE America Act to try to keep our elections honest.

I trust the current California election about as much as I trust gas station sushi!

We Are Finally Seeing Some Results

On Monday, The Gateway Pundit posted an article about some serious cuts made to the Department of War spending.

The article reports:

The Deep State’s endless gravy train just collided with a massive brick wall.

In a direct and no-nonsense video announcement, Hegseth revealed the Department of War is immediately terminating $5.1 BILLION — yes, BILLION with a capital B — in wasteful contracts for consulting, nonessential services, DEI, climate nonsense, and duplicative IT work.

According to Hegseth, one of the largest savings comes from contracts awarded through the Defense Health Agency to consulting giants, including Accenture, Deloitte, Booz Allen, and other firms.

Those cuts alone are expected to save taxpayers approximately $1.8 billion.

Another $1.4 billion will be saved by eliminating a software reseller contract tied to enterprise cloud IT services.

Hegseth also highlighted a staggering $500 million Navy contract dedicated to what he characterized as bureaucratic “business process consulting.”

The article concludes:

So, if you’re keeping score at home, today’s cuts bring our running total to nearly $6 billion in wasteful spending over the first six weeks of the DoD-DOGE effort here at the Defense Department.

Their job is to go out and find the stuff that we can get rid of and then flow back into—drive back into—warfighting capabilities here at the Defense Department.

So, we want to thank our friends at DOGE. We want to thank all the folks here that have contributed to this effort.”

This is only a small percentage of the federal budget, but it is a good beginning. The problem has never been the lack of income from taxes–the problem has always been the runaway spending. It looks as if some of the things that DOGE discovered are now being acted on.

What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Is anyone reading this old enough to remember the ‘don’t fool mother nature’ commercials? They were margarine commercials where mother nature created havoc after someone tried to fool her. I don’t know about the margarine part, but I do know that we tamper with nature at our own risk. We have a large number of great white sharks off the New England coast because we are protecting the seals. I don’t think creating a feeding ground for sharks was the goal, but that’s where we are. Now some brilliant scientists are about to do something that defies the imagination.

On Saturday, The Gateway Pundit reported:

America’s most infamous tech company has a bold, potentially risky plan to supposedly reduce the spread of mosquito-borne illnesses, assuming the federal government will sign off on the proposal.

As The New York Post reported, Google wants federal approval to unleash approximately 32 MILLION mosquitoes into the states of California and Florida over the next two years.

This is supposedly part of an effort to halt the spread of several serious mosquito-borne illnesses, including West Nile virus, St. Louis encephalitis, dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever.

The Google researchers particularly focused on West Nile and St. Louis encephalitis. The former is the leading mosquito-borne disease in the US and is widespread in California amongst local bird and mosquito populations.

…Rather than releasing biting insects, the company plans to release male mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia, a naturally occurring bacteria. When the infected males mate with wild female mosquitoes, the offspring do not survive, helping suppress mosquito populations over time.

Because only female mosquitoes bite humans, experts say the releases would not increase the number of biting mosquitoes.

Are these the same scientists who regarded kudzu as a beautiful, ornamental ground cover? Are these the same scientists whose hybrid silk worms got loose from the Museum of Science in Boston and became known as gypsy moths? You get the picture. Let’s not increase the mosquito population in order to decrease it. What happens if the mosquitoes find some way to adapt?

This Is How The Asylum System Is Supposed To Work

On Friday, The Gateway Pundit posted an article about an Executive Order signed by President Trump to allow 10,000 Afrikaner refugees into the United States. The Afrikaners are mostly the descendants of the Dutch settlers who arrived in South Africa in the 1600’s and began farming. Currently, many of them are under threat by their neighbors because of racially motivated violence. Many of the farmers have been murdered and their farms stolen. The government has played a major role in seizing land without compensation. I understand that the minority white population ruled South Africa in a way that did not allow the black majority to prosper, but stealing land and murdering people is not going to change that or bring peace.

The article reports:

The Trump administration intends to accept a further 10,000 Afrikaner refugees into the United States in addition to the 6,000 Afrikaners already accepted, raising the 2026 cap to 17,500. Meanwhile, several patriotic Afrikaner organizations appealed to President Trump to help Afrikaners stay in their ancestral home.

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump announced he was increasing the refugee cap for white South Africans because of “an unforeseen emergency refugee situation”, signing an executive order to “increase the ceiling to 17,500.” Trump blamed the South African government for “recent increases in the incitement of racially motivated violence”.

Presidential Determination No. 2026-14 of May 21, 2026 finds that “an unforeseen emergency refugee situation now exists due to recent increases in the incitement of racially motivated violence on the part of the Government of South Africa.”

“I hereby determine that the admission to the United States of Afrikaners from South Africa in response to this emergency is justified by the grave humanitarian concerns … and that an increase in the ceiling to 17,500 is warranted”, President Trump wrote.

Last month I posted an article about the refugees from South Africa who have already come here (article here). The are settling in and working as farmers. They are a definite addition to America.

Sad News From California

Political violence is inexcusable. Political violence against an elderly veteran is off-the-charts inexcusable.

On Monday, The Gateway Pundit reported:

Kerry Sheron, the 69-year-old owner of the ‘Trump house’ in Southern California, has died after being brutally beaten by a Navy veteran.

Sheron, an Army veteran, was violently assaulted by 32-year-old Thomas Caleb Butler in an unprovoked attack on May 20 outside of Sheron’s home.

Kerry Sheron decorated his Escondido home with Trump banners and American flags.

The Trump-supporting Army veteran died Sunday night just days after he was hospitalized in critical condition.

Butler was previously charged with attempted murder, elder abuse, making criminal threats and battery. His charges will be upgraded after Sheron died from his injuries.

Deputy District Attorney Ross Garcia said Sheron was violently attacked by Butler.

“It was a single punch to the jaw,” Ross Garcia said, NBC San Diego. “The victim then falls to the floor, and there are subsequent hits to the victim’s head area.”

Unless you live on a neighborhood with a Homeowners’ Association controlled by Karens, you are free to decorate your house any way you want to. This is disgraceful behavior on the part of the navy veteran.

On a lighter note, at one point when we were driving to a family event in Connecticut, we were given directions that said, “turn at the red, white, and blue house.” That really made no sense to us. So we were driving down this beautiful country road with traditional colonial houses, many of which were painted blue with white shutters and red doors, and we wondered how we would know the specific house the directions referred to. Then we rounded a curve and saw it–the upper left part of the front roof was painted blue with white stars and the rest of the house had horizontal red and white stripes. Then we understood the directions!

In America, we are free to decorate our houses any way we want to!

Did They Really Do That?

On Tuesday, The Gateway Pundit reported the following:

The United Nations elected Iran as one of 34 vice presidents of the 11th Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference, which opened April 27 at UN headquarters in New York. Iran was nominated by the Non-Aligned Movement, representing 121 largely developing nations.

The appointment drew immediate objections from the United States, Australia, the UAE, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. Christopher Yeaw, U.S. Assistant Secretary for Arms Control and Nonproliferation, called Iran’s selection an “affront” to the NPT, saying it was “indisputable that Iran has long demonstrated its contempt for the non-proliferation commitments of the NPT,” and declared it “beyond shameful and an embarrassment to the credibility of this conference.”

The UAE called the appointment “antithetical to the values of the NPT,” warning: “If a state party can disregard its obligations, undermine verification, destabilize its region, threaten international waterways, and still be elevated to a leadership position in this process, then we must ask what message this conference is sending.” Russia defended Iran and accused the objecting nations of “political attacks.”

The basis for the objections is extensive. Iran ratified the NPT in 1970 and concluded a comprehensive safeguards agreement with the IAEA in 1974. In 2002, the agency began investigating allegations of clandestine nuclear activities, finding that some had violated Tehran’s safeguards agreement.

Considering where we are right now–with Iran having admitted it was weeks away from 10 nuclear bombs and what followed–this is amazing. Notice that Russia is supporting the election of Iran to an office in the Conference. I wonder what deals were made behind the scenes.

The article concludes:

Regarding the current U.S.-Iran conflict, Iranian officials have demanded that restrictions on its nuclear program be omitted from any peace talks or agreements.

The NPT vice presidency is not an isolated case. In February 2026, Iran was elected vice-chair of the UN Commission for Social Development, a body focused on democracy, gender equality, and non-violence, and vice-chair of the UN Charter Committee. In April 2026, ECOSOC nominated Iran to the UN Committee for Programme and Coordination, which shapes policy on women’s rights, human rights, disarmament, and terrorism prevention, with Western democracies including the UK, France, Germany, Canada, and Australia voting in favor. Iran had been removed from the UN Commission on the Status of Women in 2022 following its violent crackdown on protesters after the death of Mahsa Amini in police custody.

I have a feeling that if Iran continues on its current path of delay, delay, lie, delay it may not like the end result.

The Cartels Come To America

On Thursday, The Gateway Pundit posted an article about an Orange County, California, arrest.

The article reports:

The FBI on Thursday arrested 43 Mexican Mafia gang members in Orange County, California.

According to the feds, the gang members committed various crimes such as kidnapping, extortion, trafficking drugs, running gambling businesses, and murder.

The defendants were charged with 66 counts, including racketeering conspiracy, conspiracy to operate an illegal gambling business, violent crimes in aid of racketeering, trafficking narcotics such as fentanyl, methamphetamine, heroin, and cocaine, and using firearms during a crime of violence.

“Gang members who murder, extort, kidnap, and traffic drugs and firearms are a menace to our communities and our way of life,” said First Assistant United States Attorney Bill Essayli. “Today’s arrests highlight the continuing cooperation between federal and local law enforcement against violent felons and our unyielding determination to crack down on organized crime in our prisons and our streets.”

The article concludes:

From his prison cell, Cardenas (Luis Cardenas, 48, a.k.a. “Gangster,” “Pops” and “Tio,” an inmate at Ironwood State Prison) used an encrypted messaging application on contraband cell phones to direct Alvarado in the operation of the Mexican Mafia’s activities in Orange County.

Cardenas directed others to kidnap and assault people in bad standing with him, and Alvarado, Cesena, and others carried out his directions. Defendants operating for the Mexican Mafia shot at and assaulted victims.

The gang also sold narcotics – including fentanyl, methamphetamine, heroin, and cocaine – via slap houses (illegal gambling houses), gangs, and drug dealers in Orange County.

It ran illegal gambling businesses within commercial strip malls and private residences. The gang collected extortionate taxes and provided security, including the use of violence, to protect the illegal gambling businesses.

The Department of Justice under President Trump is quietly doing what they should have been doing for years.

Shenanigans In Campaign Donations

Posted on by

In December 2024, I wrote an article about campaign donations to Democrats coming from ActBlue. ActBlue was recording donations from people who never sent them. The actual origin of those donations was unknown. Well, at least we have reached the point where Congress is looking at the situation.

On Monday, The Gateway Pundit reported:

On Monday, The Gateway Pundit reported that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued ActBlue, the Democrat fundraising platform, for “deceiving Americans by lying about its donation processes that allow fraudulent and foreign donations.” This was following an internal investigation that “prove[d] that ActBlue continues to process gift card donations” without proving identification of the donor.

The same day, the House Judiciary Committee deposed five employees after subpoenas were issued to two employees in June 2025 by Reps. Jim Jordan, Bryan Steil, and James Comer. The recent depositions included “top staff responsible for fraud prevention” and sought to “learn more about the platform’s acceptance of illegal donations – and the subsequent cover-up,” according to a post on X by the House Judiciary GOP.

…The House Judiciary GOP account states that the five employees were asked 146 questions and that the ActBlue employees “refused to answer a single one, invoking their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination every time.”

The questions included:

    • Is there any reason you are unable to provide truthful answers to today’s questions?
    • Have ActBlue executives ever instructed you to allow more fraud on the platform or weaken ActBlue’s fraud-prevention defenses?
    • Have you ever been part of a conspiracy to launder foreign money into fraudulent donations for campaigns using ActBlue?
    • Did members of ActBlue’s legal and compliance teams leave ActBlue after the 2024 election because of the platform’s inability to prevent fraud during previous election cycles?

Pleading the Fifth does not mean that you are guilty, but it is definitely interesting that the people from ActBlue would not even explain why they wouldn’t answer the questions. Hopefully someone will go to jail for their criminal activity.

Do We Need A Do-over?

Posted on by

On Sunday, The Gateway Pundit reported:

A Palm Beach, Florida, elections volunteer was arrested for stealing computer equipment encrypted access key ahead of a special election where a Democrat won by 800 votes.

John Panicci was arrested on Friday for taking sensitive computer equipment and other supplies on March 19 ahead of the March 24 special election.

As previously reported, a Democrat flipped a Florida state house district that includes President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.

Emily Gregory won state house district 87 in last Tuesday night’s special election.

The article concludes:

During their investigation, detectives said that on March 19, the Elections Office was doing a training session for volunteers who were going to help with the election scheduled on March 24.

Detectives said that during the training session, Panicci stole an encrypted access key from a voter registration terminal.

The key that Panacci allegedly took was programmed only for the training databases, but there were concerns that if someone else could reverse engineer the encryption, they could then use it on a voter registration kiosk for malicious purposes.

I am not enough of an electronics geek to know if the piece of equipment that was taken could skew the results of the election, but if I were a resident of the area, I would want a do-over with paper ballots.

Ignoring The People You Are Supposed To Represent

Posted on by

On Monday, The Gateway Pundit posted an article about the seeming reluctance of Senate Majority Leader John Thune to work to pass the SAVE America Act.

The article reports:

In yet another blatant betrayal of President Donald Trump and the America First agenda, Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has once again shown his true RINO colors by flatly refusing to make any changes to Senate rules that would allow the critical SAVE America Act to pass.

This comes as Trump ramps up pressure on the GOP establishment to secure our elections before the midterms, but Thune is more interested in protecting the swamp than fighting for the American people.

“Yeah, that’s not going to happen,” Thune said on Monday when pressed by ABC News about altering the Senate’s 60-vote threshold to advance legislation.

This stonewalling directly undermines Trump’s urgent call to pass the SAVE America Act, which would crack down on voter fraud and ensure only American citizens vote in our elections.

Americans overwhelmingly support the provisions of the Act, yet Congress does not seem to be able to bring about legislation that reflects the views of the voters.

The article concludes:

This isn’t Thune’s first rodeo in backstabbing Trump. Senate Majority Leader John Thune unveiled a procedural scheme to block President Donald Trump from making any critical appointments during the August recess, effectively aiding the Democrats’ obstructionist agenda.

Under the U.S. Constitution, the president can make “recess appointments,” temporary appointments to federal positions, if the Senate is in recess and not conducting business. These appointments don’t require immediate Senate confirmation and can last until the end of the next session of Congress.

But there’s a loophole: if the Senate holds pro forma sessions, very short, symbolic meetings where no actual business is conducted, then technically, the Senate is still in session. That means the president cannot legally make recess appointments during that time.

We need to remember that John Thune was Mitch McConnell’s protege. His actions are not surprising.

When Reporting Leaves The Important Parts Out

Posted on by

On Sunday, The Gateway Pundit posted an article about the Supreme Court’s decision regarding tariffs. What we have heard in the media is not entirely correct.

The article reports:

Many media outlets are reporting that the Supreme Court ordered President Donald Trump to stop levying tariffs. However, the reality is more nuanced and does not prevent Trump from imposing tariffs altogether. The Court ruled only that he could not levy tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA); however, the president has several other options available.

The Supreme Court struck down President Trump’s emergency tariffs imposed under IEEPA, ruling that he had exceeded his authority. For his broadest actions, including the “Liberation Day” reciprocal tariffs and the “Trafficking Tariffs” on Mexico and Canada, the administration argued that because IEEPA permits the president to regulate importation during a national emergency, he could unilaterally impose tariffs.

The Court rejected that argument. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. wrote that the power to regulate does not automatically include the power to tax, which is what a tariff is, and that if Congress intended to grant such taxing authority, the statute needed to explicitly reference tariffs or duties. Because IEEPA does not, those specific tariffs were ruled unlawful.

Within hours of the decision, President Trump invoked Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, announcing a new global tariff initially set at 10 percent and later raised to 15 percent. That provision authorizes import surcharges of up to 15 percent to address serious balance-of-payments deficits for 150 days. The temporary authority gives the administration time to design replacement measures and signals that tariff policy will remain unsettled as congressional elections approach.

The problem was not the tariffs–it was the law used to justify them.

The article concludes:

The Court’s ruling was narrow. It limited the use of IEEPA but did not eliminate other statutory authorities. Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act permits tariffs on goods that threaten to impair national security, and the Court did not address that authority. Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 authorizes tariffs in response to unfair trade practices, including intellectual property theft. Both remain legally available.

By shifting its rationale to Section 232 and other statutes, the administration is positioning these tariffs to withstand future court challenges, arguing that national security includes secure borders, resilient supply chains, and protection against adversaries that benefit from U.S. markets.

Stay tuned.

Pay Attention, Republicans

Posted on by

On Saturday, The Gateway Pundit posted an article about some recent comments by Republican activist Scott Presler. You may remember that Scott Presler was a major factor in President Trump’s 2024 election victory. He has become a seasoned political worker and observer.

The article reports:

Republican activist Scott Presler joined Kayleigh McEnany on FOX News to push the Save Act. Presler told FOX News that there are already 48 co-sponsors with Mike Lee sponsoring the bill. But Senate Majority Leader John Thune needs to bring it up for a vote.

The Save act requires:
** Proof of US citizenship to vote,
** Mandates states to verify the citizenship of voters
** Requires states to remove non-citizens from the voter rolls

These are basic rules to help secure our elections. Democrats are against them, of course.

Scott is urging everyone to continue to call their senators and ask them to make a public statement about moving the Save Act to the Senate floor.

The article includes the following statement from Scott:

So my warning to members of Congress that are not willing to pass election reform at the federal level, which is constitutional, is either Republicans allow for proof of citizenship and photo voter ID, or it’s very likely that Republican voters will not come out on Tuesday, November third, and we very likely could lose the House of Representatives, and you could even lose Senate. The senatorships in Alaska, Maine, North Carolina. And if we lose three seats, Kaylee, it’s 50-50, and we lose the majority. So to our beautiful Senate Republican colleagues that are in the majority right now, I ask you, bring the Save Act to the floor, and any senator against proof of citizenship must tell the American people publicly on the floor why they are against it.

The Save Act will help deal with the problem of election integrity. Right now we have tens of thousands of people in America who are not citizens and may not have a problem illegally voting. The Save Act would help deal with that problem. If the Republicans can not get it passed, what is the point of electing them?

Please follow the link to the article. It contains a video of the interview on Fox News.

Stopping Corruption At Its Root

Posted on by

On Thursday, The Gateway Pundit posted an article that provides one example of how the fraud in Minnesota got started and is continuing.

The article reports:

Another Minnesota money pipeline just got shut down, and this one leads straight back to Rep. Ilhan Omar.

The funding, which was tucked into a federal spending bill, was purportedly destined for a “substance abuse clinic” in Omar’s home state of Minnesota.

However, a shocking investigation led by Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) revealed that the “clinic” was anything but legitimate.

During an interview on Fox Business, Senator Ernst detailed the absolute absurdity of the proposal, describing a trail of red flags that would make any honest taxpayer’s blood boil.

“What I uncovered the other day, in one of our spending bills making its way through Congress, was a $1 million earmark from Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.

“This earmark was supposedly going to a substance abuse clinic, which actually happened to be housed in a restaurant and run by three individuals who share the same residential address, according to their IRS paperwork. Tons of red flags.

“So this is what we saw with the fraud involving the daycare centers. Now we see other earmarks coming directly from members of Congress where it seems fraud is being perpetrated as well.

It’s very easy to tuck earmarks into thousand-page bills that no one has time to read. It’s time that Congress passed bills that were less than five pages long and were limited to one topic.

The article notes:

As scrutiny intensified over Rep. Ilhan Omar’s role in directing taxpayer funds to questionable Minnesota entities, attention also focused on her family’s abrupt and dramatic rise in wealth.

According to a bombshell report from the New York Post, Rose Lake Capital, founded by Mynett in 2022, scrubbed the details of nine key figures between September and October 2025.

The list included high-profile Democrats like former Obama Ambassador to Bahrain Adam Ereli, ex-Senator and Obama Ambassador to China Max Baucus, DNC Finance Chair associate Alex Hoffman, former DNC treasurer William Derrough, and Keith Mestrich, the ex-CEO of Amalgamated Bank, which he once called “the institutional bank of the Democratic Party.”

None of these individuals has been charged with any fraud. However, the timing coincides with federal prosecutors announcing charges against eight more suspects in the massive Minnesota welfare scam, six of whom are of Somali descent.

Omar, a prominent member of the far-left “Squad,” entered Congress in 2019 with a net worth between negative $25,000 and negative $65,000, burdened by student loans and car debt with no assets to her name.

Ilhan Omar will continue to be elected because of the voter fraud in her district. I think it is time that the Justice Department spent some time with her.

Making Our Roads Safer

Posted on by

On Tuesday, The Gateway Pundit reported:

Secretary Kristi Noem announced that a joint 287(g) operation between ICE and the Indiana State Police resulted in the arrest of 223 illegal aliens along Indiana highways near the Illinois border, including 146 truck drivers. The operation, conducted in Northwest Indiana as part of Chicago-based Operation Midway Blitz, targeted individuals involved in offenses including DUI, drug trafficking, burglary, assault, child abuse, domestic battery, prostitution, and fraud. More than 40 of those arrested had been issued commercial driver’s licenses, primarily from Illinois, California, and New York.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has also conducted roadside enforcement actions in multiple states, including New York, detaining drivers holding valid commercial licenses issued by other states. Federal and state officials said these operations were intended to address public safety risks associated with illegal aliens operating commercial vehicles and cited recent fatal crashes as justification for coordinated enforcement, particularly in and around sanctuary jurisdictions.

The enforcement actions followed federal audits that identified widespread CDL fraud and improper issuance practices across multiple states. Federal officials estimate that as many as 130,000 undocumented truck drivers may be operating in the United States, with tens of thousands believed to have obtained licenses through illegitimate means.

The article concludes:

Multiple bribery and test-taking fraud schemes have also been prosecuted nationwide, involving DMV employees, trucking school owners, and professional test-takers. In California, a scheme involving multiple trucking schools and DMV employees led to 20 convictions after hundreds of commercial driver’s licenses were issued to applicants who had not taken or passed required tests. School owners acted as brokers, collecting payments and bribing DMV employees to enter false passing results into state databases.

In Massachusetts, former State Police Sergeant Gary Cederquist was convicted on 48 counts for providing false passing scores to 40 CDL applicants in exchange for bribes, including cases of Fiji Water, Arizona Iced Tea, and Swedish Fish. Prosecutors said Cederquist and his co-conspirators used the term “golden handshake” to mark applicants who would automatically pass, even if they failed or skipped the skills test.

Again, I am looking for some orange jump suits!

One Responsibility Of Government Is To Keep The People Safe

Posted on by

One responsibility of government is to keep the people safe. I guess New York City didn’t read that part of the assignment.

On Tuesday, The Gateway Pundit reported the following:

New York’s radical sanctuary policies have reached a catastrophic breaking point.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Todd Lyons has issued an explosive letter to New York Attorney General Letitia James, demanding immediate action after state and local officials quietly released nearly 7,000 criminal illegal aliens, including rapists, killers, gang members, and repeat violent offenders, without honoring ICE detainers and without a single notification to federal authorities.

Since January 20, New York has released 6,947 criminal illegal aliens back onto the streets. These offenders are tied to:

    • 29 homicides
    • 2,509 assaults
    • 199 burglaries
    • 305 robberies
    • 392 dangerous drug offenses
    • 300 weapons offenses
    • 207 sexual predatory offenses

Worse, another 7,113 criminal aliens remain in New York custody today, all with active ICE detainers that state officials continue to ignore.

These detainees include:

    • 148 charged with homicide
    • 717 charged with assault
    • 134 charged with burglary
    • 106 charged with robbery
    • 235 dangerous drug offenses
    • 152 weapons offenses
    • 260 sexual predatory offenses

This is a full-scale public safety disaster engineered by far-left officials who are deliberately defying federal law.

What in the world are they trying to accomplish? Well, it’s time to examine the details of a color revolution. On Monday, Doug Ross posted The Color Revolution Playbook. It’s a long article, but if you care about America, it is worth reading.

Some Amazing Voters

Posted on by

On Friday, The Gateway Pundit posted an article about election integrity in Michigan. Basically the article highlights the federal government’s request for the state to turn over unredacted voter rolls to the federal government. However, the term-limited secretary of state, Jocelyn Benson, is resisting that effort on the grounds that voters’ Social Security numbers need to be protected from the government! But that isn’t what makes this story so interesting.

Here are a few screenshots of information connected to voters currently registered in Michigan:

Obviously, there is a problem here. These are only a few people from the article. I am amazed how people buried in other states managed to vote in Michigan.

Good News From Memphis

Posted on by

On Monday, The Gateway Pundit reported the following:

The Memphis Safe Task Force, working under the coordination of the U.S. Marshals Service, has rescued 101 missing children and cleared more than 1,000 outstanding warrants in just 40 days.

Can we send the U.S. Marshals Service to every other city in America to rescue children?

The article reports:

According to News Nation, U.S. Marshals have arrested 2,342 individuals across Memphis on charges ranging from homicide to narcotics trafficking, firearms violations, and sex offenses. Of the cleared warrants, 203 involved firearms and 264 were narcotics-related.

Among the 101 children rescued was a 15-year-old boy missing since September 2, last seen walking along Highway 64 in Tennessee.

Thanks to the task force’s collaboration with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), the teen was discovered living in a van with his father in Hawaii, thousands of miles from home, according to WREG.

The father, who has a long criminal record in Hawaii and California, including domestic violence, abuse, drugs, battery, and burglary, had been hiding out at a construction site where he worked.

When confronted, he fled the scene, leaving the teenager behind. The child was found safe by the Honolulu Police Department on November 6, 2025, and is now awaiting return to Tennessee.

The article concludes:

“We are happy that we have been able to use our fugitive hunting skills to assist local and state authorities with finding these missing children,” said Emily Williams, U.S. Marshals spokesperson. “What a testament to our partnerships to be able to work these cases together. While investigative work is tedious, locating missing and endangered children is one of the things we are most proud of.”

This is what happens when law enforcement focuses on investigating criminals rather than concerned parents who attend churches or school board meetings.

We Are Not Dealing With Judges Or Politicians That Have Any Concern For The People Of America

Posted on by

We need to remember that the political left has no desire or requirement in their own minds to play fair. The left has made politics and governing truly a blood sport. It’s getting worse. The American people are the pawns in their game, and now they have expanding that to children.

On Friday, The Gateway Pundit reported:

US Attorney General Pam Bondi went off on Obama-appointed John McConnell for forcing the USDA to raid school-lunch money to fund SNAP benefits.

US District Judge John McConnell, an Obama appointee, scolded DOJ lawyers on Thursday during a hearing and ordered the Trump Administration to fully deliver the SNAP benefits to states by Friday.

“The evidence shows that people will go hungry, food pantries will be overburdened and needless suffering will occur,” Judge McConnell said to the DOJ lawyer on Thursday. “Last weekend, SNAP benefits lapsed for the first time in our nation’s history. This is a problem that could have and should have been avoided.”

More than 40 million Americans rely on SNAP benefits, and the $5 billion emergency fund was not enough to cover the program for November.

…The judge played dirty tricks with the timing of his court order and the First Circuit Court played along to disadvantage the government.

“Why could we file this brief only this morning, with that clock ticking? The First Circuit clerk’s office made it impossible to file sooner,” Bondi said.

“Despite being notified by the government of the high likelihood of fast-moving litigation, the First Circuit clerk’s office refused to answer its phones until this morning, and refused to offer any means of filing this emergency request until it processed certain paperwork during regular business hours,” Bondi said.

I realize that ending the filibuster could be risky in the long term, but the Democrats and their dirty game are giving the Republicans little choice.

On Monday, The Gateway Pundit reported that the two men suspected of planning a Halloween terrorists attack in Michigan. The two suspects are Mohmed Ali, of Dearborn, Michigan, and Majed Mahmoud.

The article reports:

Mohmed Ali, of Dearborn, Michigan, and Majed Mahmoud are accused of plotting to launch a terror-inspired mass shooting codenamed “pumpkin,” according to court documents. They’ve been charged with receiving, transferring and attempting to receive and transfer firearms knowing and having reasonable cause to believe that they would be used to commit terrorism.

Ali practiced shooting at a local gun range multiple times, including with Mahmoud, a juvenile suspect referred to as “Person 1” and under the alias “Athari” — and once with an unnamed “Co-conspirator 4,” according to the complaint.

The charges come after a lawyer for one of the suspects, who was arrested Friday, claimed to The Associated Press that there was no plot and that he did not expect charges to be filed.

The article concludes:

Per a leak to MSNBC: “Senior Justice Department and FBI officials expressed frustration Friday that FBI Director Kash Patel publicly disclosed an investigation into what he called a “potential” Halloween weekend terrorist plot near Detroit — before investigators had a chance to flesh out key details, including whether the attack actually was imminent, two people familiar with the matter told MSNBC.”

The leakers claimed Kash Patel ‘acted hastily’ without Main Justice’s approval.

“Justice officials registered concern that Patel appeared to have acted hastily on the probe without Main Justice’s approval, with the apparent goal of seeking some credit for the FBI, but in a way that could interfere with the investigation, according to the sources. MSNBC has not named them as they fear retaliation,” MSNBC reported.

I tend to look cautiously on any news reported by MSNBC. Remember, there are numerous people in the Justice Department and FBI with deep connections to the deep state who do not love Director Kash Patel.

The Law Of Unintended Consequences

Posted on by

The government shutdown continues. The Democrats refuse to pass a clean continuing resolution identical to thirteen that they have previously passed. The shutdown is on the Democrats–all but one Republican has voted to keep the government open. However, while the shutdown continues, we are learning some interesting things.

On Monday, The Gateway Pundit reported:

One aspect of the government shutdown that probably wasn’t anticipated by Chuck Schumer and other Democrats, is that it has revealed to the public just how many people receive food stamps.

Years ago, when the program was still called ‘food stamps’ it was seen as something that struggling families might use temporarily to get through a hard time. Then it was re-branded as the ‘SNAP’ program and destigmatized. People were encouraged to enroll. Now there are many more people using the program, many who probably don’t even really need it.

The longer the shutdown goes on, the more reports there are about this and it’s stunning to taxpayers who did not realize until now how incredibly huge this is.

The article quotes The Hill:

More than 40 million low-income food assistance beneficiaries are expected to receive less help with grocery bills — or no help at all — in the coming days.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is threatening to withhold billions of dollars in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) contingency funding, which Congress has already allocated for emergency scenarios, if the government shutdown stretches into November.

According to The Overton News:

“There are 42 million people in this country that need food stamps on a weekly basis.”

“And we’re saying ‘people’ deliberately instead of Americans because most of the people that are on food stamps aren’t even from this country.”

“45% of Afghanistan immigrants are on food stamps.”

“42% of Somali immigrants, 34% of every immigrant from Iraq, 23% of Haitians.”

“59% of ALL illegal aliens are collecting food stamps, meaning that most of the people getting food stamps from the U.S. Government and the U.S. Taxpayer are not even Americans.”

“Think about that.”

“And we didn’t know about any of this before the government shutdown started.”

“But thanks to Democrats, we can confirm tonight that millions of Joe Biden, illegal aliens, people who crossed the border when Joe was president, are now collecting food stamps from a program funded by hardworking American taxpayers.”

This country was built by immigrants who came here, worked hard, didn’t take money from the government, and contributed to the growth of America. I need someone to explain to me how the people who came here illegally and immediately took advantage of government programs are benefiting America.

Rebuking The Lies

Posted on by

On Sunday, The Gateway Pundit posted an article about an interview of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on ABC’s This Week.

The article contains text of some of the interview:

Martha Raddatz:
And today is day 26. I know you have been over there, but there has been a government shutdown here. People are suffering. Federal employees are starting to go to food banks. Any light at the end of the tunnel on that? Should the President be meeting with Democrats again?

Scott Bessent:
What good does it do, Martha? They’ve dug in. The American people are hostage to Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries’ poll numbers. Because what’s changed between now and the last time there was a clean continuing resolution is Chuck Schumer has tanked in the polls. Both of the two guys from Brooklyn, as I call them, are worried about being primaried from the left.

The article notes:

Bessent went on to remind viewers that Republicans have voted 11 times to reopen the government, while Democrats, led by Schumer and Jeffries, continue to hold the nation hostage for political gain.

The transcript continues:

Because, Martha, what I can tell you is—we managed to find the money in the middle of October to pay our brave service members, and I think we’ll be able to do it on November 1st. But we’re going to be out of money on November 15th, and for our military not to get paid is a disgrace.

The other thing that’s happening is this is starting to eat into the economy—starting to slow the economy—and we’re also starting to see there’s a problem with air traffic control. So it’s beginning to slow down our nation’s travel.

…Martha Raddatz:
But Secretary Bessent, I should add that the President’s party—your party—controls the White House and both chambers of Congress. You don’t think you bear any responsibility for this?

Scott Bessent:
Martha, what can we do? What can we do for this desperate act? We can call on them to change their minds. Because I can tell you—the $1.5 trillion in spending that they’re calling for—that’s not on the table.

We inherited a mess. We inherited the worst budget deficit-to-GDP ratio when we weren’t in a recession and we weren’t at war. It was 6.4%, 6.5%. We’ve managed to bring that down to 5.9%, and we’re not going to let them be irresponsible with the budget again.

I wonder if Scott Bessent will be invited on the show again! He may be punished for telling the truth!

There Might Be A Pattern Here

Posted on by

On Monday, The Gateway Pundit posted an article about some rather sketchy mortgage claims in Letitia James’ past.

The article includes the following:

It all began in the spring of 1983, when a 24-year-old Letitia James and her father, Robert James, posing as “husband and wife,” took out a real-estate loan for $30,300 from Kadilac Funding Ltd. for the purchase of a two-story townhome in Queens. The loan document, signed by both, listed “ROBERT JAMES AND LETITIA JAMES, HIS WIFE” in three separate places. This was no clerical error.

At that time, young Letitia likely lacked sufficient income or credit to qualify for a mortgage as a single woman. The fraudulent claim of marriage to her father allowed her to obtain financing she otherwise couldn’t have, an act that meets the legal definition of mortgage fraud under state and federal statutes.

The article includes a screenshot of part of the document involved.

The fraud continued:

In 2020, James purchased a property at 3121 Perone Avenue in Norfolk, Virginia, signing a document claiming it would be her primary or secondary residence, rather than a rental property, to secure a lower interest rate. That misrepresentation recently became part of the criminal indictment against her for mortgage and bank fraud, carrying a potential 30-year prison sentence.

In 2021, James applied for a $200,000 line of credit mortgage from Citizen’s Bank on her 5-unit apartment building in Brooklyn, but in mortgage documents James claimed it only had one apartment unit. Accordingly, James received a lower residential mortgage interest rate she was not entitled to, and avoided a higher commercial loan rate and much higher closing costs.

In 2023, James bought a home at 604 Sterling Avenue in Norfolk, Virginia. Per Sam Antar, Letitia qualified for the loan only after certifying in an updated application that it would be her “primary residence”, even though she lived in Brooklyn.

The article concludes:

Letitia James’s story illustrates the powerful psychology of rationalized fraud – how one minor deception with her father, rewarded and unpunished, can evolve into a lifelong modus operandi of criminal behavior. Over time, the boundary between being “clever” and criminal became blurred for James, warping her moral compass and creating a sense of entitlement.

The irony is staggering. Letitia James, a woman educated at Howard University and charged with enforcing justice, including mortgage laws, appears to have internalized the very behavior she has prosecuted, including the very charges she filed against her most high-profile target, Donald Trump.

People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

What They Really Wanted

Posted on by

The raid on Mar-a-Lago in April 2022 was puzzling in some ways. The FBI had never before raided a former President’s home, particularly when negotiations for documents were ongoing. The raid included pictures (which we later learned were staged) of numerous documents said to be highly classified. But the raid never really made sense. Now we are learning the actual reason behind the raid (other than to discredit President Trump).

On Sunday, The Gateway Pundit reported:

As The Gateway Pundit reported back in August 2022, new details on the raid of Mar-a-Lago may offer an explanation on what the FBI was looking for and why the FBI has not released the Spygate documents as they were ordered to when President Trump left office.

Investigative reporter Paul Sperry had his Twitter account taken down for the second time the week of the Democrat deep state raid on Mar-a-Lago.

Sperry had his Twitter account taken down that week after he tweeted about the Mar-a-Lago raid and what the FBI was allegedly looking for. The crooked FBI and DOJ was hoping to find and destroy documents to prevent Americans from seeing their criminal acts and attempted coup of the sitting US President.

According to Paul Sperry, the FBI agents spent 9 hours looking for details President Trump took with him on the Crossfire Hurricane FBI spying scandal.

The article contains a download of the document in questions as well as a summary of the document.

The article includes the following synopsis:

** There was NO evidence that Putin wanted Trump to win.
** There is NO evidence Trump worked with Putin in anyway to swing the election.
** Leadership at the FBI, CIA, and Democrat leaders including Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama all lied to the American public in their attempt to bring down the Trump administration.
** President Trump survived a coup of gigantic proportions that was nothing short of a miracle.
** Numerous top officials committed crimes and participated in the attempted coup.

The article concludes:

…Maria Bartiromo: Lisa Monaco got a big job now. She’s the President of Global Affairs at Microsoft, which I reported first. Look, I’ve got the majority staff report right here on the intelligence community assessment of the Russia influence campaign targeting the 2016 election. You believe that was one of the things they were looking for when they raided Mara at a lago, but it wasn’t there?

Devin Nunes: Yeah, that’s right, because that was supposed to be declassified. We asked President Trump to declassify that in 2020. We were told that it was declassified. We thought that that information was going to be at the archives like all the information should. But then when we asked the archives about it and other people asked the archives for it, it wasn’t there. That document is very damaging. It’s a 40-page report that House Republicans worked on for a long time, not only my committee, and now the current chairman, Rick Crawford, was able to get that information out. It’s a very damning report that showed what? That Russia didn’t think that Trump was going to win, which I think we all know. Once again, just common sense in ’16, why would the Russians be helping someone that they didn’t think was going to win?

Please follow the link above to read the entire article. There need to be arrests.

Avoiding A Potentially Really Ugly Telecom Threat

Posted on by

On Tuesday, The Gateway Pundit posted an article about a potential telecom threat in New York City while President Trump was there.

The article reports:

The US Secret Service announced Tuesday they had disrupted an illicit telecom threat near the United Nations.

The illicit network could have blacked out cell service, shut down cell towers, and jammed 911 calls in New York City and the surrounding area.

According to FOX News the seizure is the largest of its kind.

The investigation has been ongoing for months by the Secret Service made the announcement this morning before President Trump is scheduled to speak at UN headquarters in New York City.

I don’t know what was planned for this threat, but I am glad it was never carried out. Jamming 911 calls in a city the size of New York City could create horrible confusion and possible deaths.

The article notes:

The US Secret Service released this video on Tuesday morning.

Special Agent in Charge of the New York Field Office Matt McCool announced that the Secret Service has uncovered and dismantled a large network of fraudulent cellular devices in the New York Tri-State area capable of enabling encrypted communications and threatening local infrastructure.

The article contains Agent McCool’s statement. Below is the conclusion of that statement:

Given the timing, location, and proximity and potential for significant disruptions to the New York telecom system, we move quickly to disrupt this network. To be clear, these recovered devices no longer pose a threat to the New York Tri-state area.

We will continue working identifying those responsible in their intent, including whether their plan was to disrupt the UN General Assembly and communications of government and emergency personnel during the official visit of world leaders in and around New York City.

Forensic examinations of the equivalent of 100,000 cell phones worth of data is underway. Early analysis indicates cellular communications between foreign actors and individuals that are known to federal law enforcement. Given the sensitivity and complexity of this investigation, we are not able to go into specifics at this time. This is an open and active investigation, and we have no arrest to announce today. Rather, this announcement is designed to safeguard critical infrastructure and responsibly provide the public what we can at this time.

A disaster was avoided due to the great work of the Secret Service.

A World Upside Down

Posted on by

On Monday, The Gateway Pundit posted an article about ABC affiliate anchor Beni Rae Harmony. She resigned after being suspended for paying tribute to Charlie Kirk. There are a lot of stories about people who lost their jobs because they rejoiced at the death of Charlie Kirk, but this is the first I have heard about someone being fired for saying something nice.

The article reports:

Beni Rae Harmony was suspended after she delivered a heartfelt message to her audience after her “mentor,” Charlie Kirk, was gunned down.

“Effective immediately, I have resigned from @WICS_ABC20 after being SUSPENDED for airing a non-partisan tribute to Charlie Kirk this past Friday,” Beni Rae Harmony said.

…“Many in the mainstream media have been fired or punished for mocking his assassination. I believe I am the first to be targeted for honoring him on air,” she said. “My resignation is guided by values that are essential to who I am, which I refuse to set aside in order to keep a job. I choose my faith and love of country, and always will.”

“God Bless Charlie Kirk and his beautiful family, and God Bless these United States of America,” she added.

Does anyone else remember the get-along shirts that you would put siblings in together until they stopped fighting? I think America needs one of those.
