Feds Are Helping Register Alabama Prisoners to Vote

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Federal Bureau of Prisons has been registering federal prisoners to vote in Alabama, according to Secretary of State Wes Allen, an effort he claims is “illegal.”

“At least one liberal third-party organization has been deployed by the Federal Bureau of Prisons to conduct voter registration in federal prisons in Alabama,” Allen said in a statement to The Federalist. “Obviously, this raised questions for my staff and I.”

Allen said President Joe Biden’s “Executive Order on Promoting Access to Voting,” issued in March 2021, attempts to “mobilize and weaponize the entire federal government” to “register primarily Democrat leaning groups of voters.”

The federal program has taken the nickname “Bidenbucks.” Like the 2020 election “Zuckbucks” from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, which enabled third-party election meddling and get-out-the-vote efforts for likely Democrat voters, it directs federal agencies to work with third-party groups to “promote voter registration and voter participation” in similar ways.

Allen asked the White House “earlier this year” how the federal government has implemented this in Alabama. He said the administration “confirmed” the Bureau of Prisons had “deployed” a “liberal third-party organization” to help register federal prisoners to vote. Those with criminal records are far more likely to vote Democrat than Republican, making this a partisan effort. (Read more from “Feds Are Helping Register Alabama Prisoners to Vote” HERE)

ESPN Axes Host Days After She Voiced Opposition to Men Competing in Women’s Sports

/0 Comments/in , /by

ESPN has fired a host who recently voiced opposition to female-identifying men competing in women’s sports.

On Thursday, The Athletic reported that ESPN has terminated the contract of “Sunday NFL Countdown” host Samantha Ponder, a longtime reporter for the network who previously covered college football. Former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III was also fired by the Disney-owned outlet.

Sources who reportedly spoke with The Athletic and Fox News claimed both sportscasters were let go due to “financial reasons.”

The timing of Ponder’s firing is suspect, however, given that it came days after the ESPN host voiced opposition to trans-identifying men participating in women’s sports.

The moment came on Aug. 6, when ESPN “College Gameday” host Kirk Herbstreit responded to an X post asking if “men belong in women’s sports.” (Read more from “ESPN Axes Host Days After She Voiced Opposition to Men Competing in Women’s Sports” HERE)

From ‘That Little Girl’ to Democrats’ Savior: Kamala Harris’ Dizzying Rise to the Top

/0 Comments/in , /by

In less than a month, Kamala Harris has gone from being the most unpopular vice president in modern U.S. history to an adored Democratic presidential nominee who reversed the party’s fortunes, opening leads in some battleground states and putting former President Donald Trump on the defensive.

It is the latest twist in the improbable rise of Ms. Harris.

On Thursday, she will stand as a historic figure on the stage at Chicago’s United Center to formally accept the nomination. She will be the first woman of Black and Indian descent to accept a major party’s presidential nomination.

Ms. Harris has risen from a middle-class upbringing in Oakland, California, with a summer job at McDonald’s to an at times invisible and often mocked vice president under President Biden to suddenly find herself cast as the savior of the Democratic Party. . .

During a 2020 Democratic presidential debate, Ms. Harris tore into Mr. Biden, her future boss, blaming him for holding back generations of Black children because of his opposition to federal school busing while in the Senate. She told the story of a little Black girl who succeeded because she was bused to school and concluded the story by revealing, “That little girl was me.” (Read more from “From ‘That Little Girl’ to Democrats’ Savior: Kamala Harris’ Dizzying Rise to the Top” HERE)

Feds Urge Cyber Pros to Assist Preparations for Quantum Cyberattack: ‘Please Help Us’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Federal officials are bracing for a quantum computer cyberattack and asking private businesses to help prevent widespread devastation.

National security officials fear a super code-breaking cryptanalytically relevant quantum computer, or CRQC, will crack the encryptions of modern systems, exposing state secrets, financial transactions and other sensitive information. Researchers warn darkly of “Q-Day,” when a combination of quantum-classical computing power and artificial intelligence technologies threaten to undermine data security encryption methods.

The U.S. intelligence community is asking private businesses to help defend against such a powerful machine, and the Commerce Department is working to get new encryption tools into the hands of defenders. At the Department of Homeland Security, officials are developing guidance to address quantum technology risk.

Kathryn Knerler, the U.S. intelligence community’s chief information security officer, told a gathering of cybersecurity experts and hackers in Las Vegas this month that the quantum computing age is approaching. She said quantum computing will be a “very large game-changer” and people must secure artificial intelligence systems before the world takes the quantum leap.

“We have, in my estimation, about five or six years to look at how we secure artificial intelligence,” Ms. Knerler said at the Black Hat USA 2024 conference. “So my challenge to all of you is please help us to secure artificial intelligence and come up with the guardrails.” (Read more from “Feds Urge Cyber Pros to Assist Preparations for Quantum Cyberattack: ‘Please Help Us’” HERE)

Eerie New Photos of Trump Shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks Minutes Before Shooting Raise Questions About Assassination Attempt

/4 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Mail. Eerie new photos of Trump shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks have raised more questions about the failed assassination attempt.

One of the images captures the 20-year-old Crooks perched on a wall in a grassy area on July 13 at the Butler, Pennsylvania rally – just moments before he opened fire.

In the picture, Crooks can be seen holding up his cell phone – as if chatting to someone on a call. Investigators have still not determined what Crooks’ motive was or whether he was indeed acting alone.

The other picture captures the moment Crooks turns to look over his shoulder while sitting in the same position. It was unclear what prompted him to turn, or whether he was talking to someone behind him. . .

The photos have raised questions and sparked theories relating to the attempted assassination. (Read more from “Eerie New Photos of Trump Shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks Minutes Before Shooting Raise Questions About Assassination Attempt” HERE)

FBI Fires Back at Claims It Released Crooks’ Body for Cremation Days After Trump Assassination Attempt

By Fox News. The FBI has fired back at claims by a GOP congressman that the agency released the body of Thomas Matthew Crooks for cremation just 10 days after his assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, last month.

The agency says it refutes allegations by Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., who says that when he requested to view Crooks’ body on Aug. 5, nobody on the ground in Butler knew it had been handed back to the suspect’s family on July 23. Higgins said the revelation “caused quite a stir and revealed a disturbing fact.”

Higgins is looking into the deadly July 13 incident as part of a bi-partisan congressional task force and made the claims in a stunning preliminary report which is highly critical of the FBI’s investigation into the matter. Higgins says the releasing of the body, and other claims of bad practice leveled at the FBI, amounts to an “obstruction to any following investigative effort.”

An FBI spokesperson tells Fox News Digital that any suggestion the agency is interfering with congressional efforts to look into the attempted assassination “is inaccurate and unfounded.”

The agency said that Crooks’ body was released to his family after coordination with the coroner’s office as well as state and local law enforcement partners “in keeping with normal procedures.” (Read more from “FBI Fires Back at Claims It Released Crooks’ Body for Cremation Days After Trump Assassination Attempt” HERE)

Leftists Use Billy Graham’s Image to Create ‘Misleading’ Support for Pro-Abortion Kamala Harris

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .[A] leftist organization called EvangelicalsforHarris is using an image of Billy Graham in an ad supporting the leftist candidate being supported by Democrats.

Which drew a pointed response from Franklin Graham, Billy Graham’s son and now chief of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association as well as Samaritan’s Purse.

He said, “The liberals are using anything and everything they can to promote candidate Harris. They even developed a political ad trying to use my father Billy Graham’s image to help promote her—or rather to try to make Donald J. Trump look bad.

“They are trying to mislead people. Maybe they don’t know that my father was a firm supporter of President Trump in 2016. He appreciated the conservative values and policies of President Trump, and if he were alive today, my father’s views and opinions would not have changed.

“President Trump isn’t perfect—none of us are—but I believe he has changed over the years. This recent assassination attempt has had a huge impact on him—and I thank God that his life was spared.” (Read more from “Leftists Use Billy Graham’s Image to Create ‘Misleading’ Support for Pro-Abortion Kamala Harris” HERE)

Al-Qaeda-Linked Muslim Group Got $2 Million From Tim Walz’s State Government

/1 Comment/in , /by

Under Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), the state of Minnesota awarded over $2 million to an Islamic group that fundraises for a charity linked to an al Qaeda affiliate, according to funding records reviewed by the Washington Examiner.

The Islamic Association of North America, the recipient of the state grants from 2019 to 2024, is fundraising after Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel last year for Rahma Worldwide, a Michigan-based charity that says it is shipping humanitarian aid to Gaza, according to flyers. In a since-deleted Facebook post in October 2023, Rahma Worldwide President Shadi Zaza revealed his charity was collaborating on an aid initiative with the Islamic Heritage Revival Society of Kuwait, a terrorist group sanctioned by the U.S. government for funding al Qaeda.

News of the Walz administration’s grants to the IANA comes as the Democratic vice presidential candidate faces backlash after a series of Washington Examiner reports revealed his ties to Muslim cleric Asad Zaman. As Minnesota’s governor, Walz has repeatedly hosted Zaman, who shared a pro-Adolf Hitler movie on social media and defended the Oct. 7 attack. Moreover, according to unearthed footage, Walz referred to Zaman as a “master teacher” at a 2018 event held by the Zaman-led Muslim American Society of Minnesota, which partners with the IANA.

The presidential campaign for Vice President Kamala Harris has continued to claim Walz has no personal relationship with Zaman. Harris and Walz officials did not respond to requests for comment from the Washington Examiner on Thursday.

“Embracing and funding an imam that sympathizes with neo-Nazis was apparently only the start,” said Sam Westrop, a terrorism analyst at the Middle East Forum think tank. (Read more from “Al-Qaeda-Linked Muslim Group Got $2 Million From Tim Walz’s State Government” HERE)

Republicans Mostly Shut Out of 2024 Watchdog Poll Worker Positions in Detroit

/1 Comment/in , /by

Election officials in Detroit, Michigan need more elephants in the room to get right with the law that calls election workers to equally represent both major parties. Currently, they are hiring mostly Democrats.

Poll workers handle ballots and are well-placed to speak up if anything seems out of order. They are an important part of election integrity infrastructure.

Many states have laws requiring counties to hire an even mix of election workers to create poll worker parity, with a goal of, as close as possible, 50 percent Democrat and 50 percent Republican poll workers. That’s the case in Michigan, where the law requires election commissioners to “appoint an equal number, as nearly as possible, of election inspectors (aka workers) in each election precinct from each major political party.”

But in the city of Detroit, where the heavily Democrat vote take can outweigh the Republican-leaning vote in the rest of the state, approximately 10 percent of poll workers hired for the Aug. 6 primary were Republicans, according to city records obtained by a watchdog group.

“Our constitution was founded on the concept that checks and balances are the best way to ensure fairness,” Patrice Johnson, a founder and chair of Michigan Fair Elections, told The Federalist. “That’s why you have two parties that are supposed to be at the polls, working the polls, for checks and balances. When you don’t have a fair balance like that, you don’t have the checks and balance system working. That’s so critical.” (Read more from “Republicans Mostly Shut Out of 2024 Watchdog Poll Worker Positions in Detroit” HERE)

A Former Deep-State Insider Lays Out How the Government Controls the Flow of Information (VIDEO)

/1 Comment/in , /by

America used to be the powerhouse of the world, exporting not only the best manufactured goods but also the best ideas the world has seen. But now, areas that were once rich in economic activity have turned into ghost towns as the State Department exports some of the worst ideas the world has seen.

On “Zero Hour,” Mike Benz, a former State Department official in the Trump administration and the founder and executive director of the Foundation for Freedom Online, sat down with James Poulos to discuss the state of the U.S. State Department and its dystopian control of information.

Even though many of America’s manufacturing hubs have their best days behind them, America can still be proud to be the world’s beacon of liberty — until now.

“The thing that we had to hold our hat onto is … the distinct values that we have in the U.S. We have free speech, [and] we have a rule of law which will protect you in court to always be able to defend your rights,” Benz told Poulos.

“What we’ve seen instead,” Benz added, “is this wanton abuse of the sanctions system so that anybody who does business in a way that upsets our State Department or Defense Department or Intelligence Community gets sanctioned.” (Read more from “A Former Deep-State Insider Lays Out How the Government Controls the Flow of Information (VIDEO)” HERE)

Harris Reveals Economic Strategy She Claims is ‘Laser-Focused on the Middle-Class’

/1 Comment/in , /by

Vice President Kamala Harris held a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Friday afternoon where she was slated to outline her economic proposals as the Democratic presidential candidate.

During her speech, the current sitting vice president proceeded to list several guarantees she pledged to deliver if elected to higher office, namely “building up the middle class” by lowering the cost of living, which the Biden-Harris administration has failed to accomplish despite holding office over the past several years.

Harris provided only a few details on how her administration plans to achieve her new economic plan.

“By virtually every measure, our economy is the strongest in the world,” Harris claimed while vowing to be “laser-focused on creating opportunities for the middle class.”

“Together, we will build what I call an opportunity economy,” Harris declared. “When the middle class is strong, American is strong.” (Read more from “Harris Reveals Economic Strategy She Claims is ‘Laser-Focused on the Middle-Class'” HERE)
