Democrats Sue to Block State Rule Requiring Ballot Hand-Counts on Election Day

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) on Monday sued the Georgia Election Board to block it from mandating a new rule that requires counties to hand-count ballots cast at polling places in the 2024 presidential election.

The DNC argues – without providing evidence – the proposal will generate chaos and in turn enable “bad-faith actors to claim that fraud has affected election results” asking a state court to declare the rule unlawful and stop it from going into effect.

Backed by Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign, the lawsuit alleges the hand-counting rule conflicts with state law and the board overstepped its authority when it approved it.

The rule change, approved on a 3-2 vote by allies of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, requires poll workers to hand count ballots to ensure they match the totals counted by machines. . .

The complainants further argued delays caused by the hand-counting would “introduce opportunities for bad-faith actors to claim that fraud has affected election results – a result that would undermine public confidence in the results and in the election of Democratic candidates specifically.” (Read more from “Democrats Sue to Block State Rule Requiring Ballot Hand-Counts on Election Day” HERE)

Dem Donors Funded Potentially Illegal Effort To Swing High-Stakes Elections

An organization under investigation by the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation received financial backing from a group of Democratic donors, according to The Associated Press.

Patriots Run Project, a group that an AP investigation found is backed by Democratic firms, has recruited conservatives to run against Republicans in competitive House and Senate races. The AP concluded that the recruits, most of whom were retired or disabled, are likely intended to serve as spoiler candidates to worsen the GOP’s odds of retaining the House and flipping the Senate in November.

“Whether it’s congressional or presidential races, this kind of activity is a real problem and it undermines the functioning of democracy,” Ohio State University law professor Edward Foley told the AP.

David Steinglass, a retired private equity fund manager, and his wife, Liz, for instance, have given more than $5 million to Democratic-aligned political committees, according to the AP. The duo, however, contributed to the campaign of Thomas Leager, a self-described “America First” candidate and gun rights advocate who is running for Senate in Wisconsin.

Leager was also one of unindicted co-conspirators in a 2020 plot to kidnap Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, the AP reported. (Read more from “Dem Donors Funded Potentially Illegal Effort To Swing High-Stakes Elections” HERE)

VIDEO: Despite Iran’s Launch of Almost 200 Ballistic Missiles at Israel, Only One Killed

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a chilling turn of events, the skies over Israel were streaked with fire yesterday as over 180 ballistic missiles were launched from Iran in an unprecedented and coordinated attack. The threat of escalation in the region had been simmering for weeks, with tensions between Israel and Iran at a boiling point over targeted killings, the war with Hezbollah, nuclear concerns, and other regional conflicts. Yet despite the gravity of the situation and the sheer scale of the assault, a miracle unfolded in the midst of chaos: only one person was killed, a Palestinian hit by a ballistic missile’s falling rocket casing.

This miracle is particularly clear in view of the multiple impacts of the Iranian missiles observed in the following videos:

Israel has long been accustomed to facing missile threats from hostile neighbors, but the scale and sophistication of yesterday’s assault were like nothing seen in recent history. Iran’s ballistic missiles were aimed at key intelligence (Mossad) and military installations, intent on inflicting significant damage and overwhelming Israel’s defense systems. Israel’s highly sophisticated missile defense systems including David’s Sling, the Iron Dome, and the Arrow System, had faced challenges before, but the sheer volume and complexity of yesterday’s attack posed a serious test to its capabilities. The United States also fired numerous missile interceptors in an attempt to blunt the Iranian attack.

Major Bank Allegedly De-Banked Man Due to False ‘Russiagate’ Accusations From Left-Wing Blogger

/0 Comments/in , /by

JPMorgan Chase is facing a lawsuit after it allegedly defamed a man based on false allegations from an obscure left-wing blog post, according to a complaint provided to the Daily Caller.

The feud began when a left-wing blog, The Stern Facts, posted an article by Patrick Simpson. The post falsely claimed that Florida’s Jacob Gitman and his business Monarch Air Group, LLC were affiliated with the Russian Mafia and former President Donald Trump, according to an executive summary obtained by the Caller.

Monarch has contracts with the federal government and received $160,000 from the Department of Justice (DOJ) in the past twelve months, according to USA Spending. Monarch’s website states it is a private jet and air charter company that “provides mission critical supplies” to the federal government.

The small blog has not posted anything since 2020, yet it managed to allegedly catch the attention of Chase Bank. Simpson’s post claimed “judges in multiple states” asserted that Gitman’s business was a front for the Russian mob.

But according to the blogger himself, this claim was fabricated. Nonetheless, Chase seemingly used the blog post to help justify it’s decision to de-bank Gitman. (Read more from “Major Bank Allegedly De-Banked Man Due to False ‘Russiagate’ Accusations From Left-Wing Blogger” HERE)
