Alaska Sends 3,000 Letters Asking Voters to Verify Their Citizenship ahead of this Year’s Elections

The state has sent more than 3,000 letters to Alaska voters asking them to verify their citizenship ahead of the Aug. 18 primary, a number a top state elections official said is unusually high. . .

Alaska Division of Elections Director Carol Beecher told state lawmakers during a hearing this week that it appears “a lot of old data was picked up somehow” when the division conducted voter roll maintenance that compares its list with information held by the Division of Motor Vehicles. The process usually yields about 200 names for further review, she said.

Beecher estimated during Wednesday’s hearing that the number of letters sent was around 3,500, but a Division of Elections spokesperson, Steve Kirch, on Thursday said the total was 3,048.

Trump Orders Signs Outside Smithsonian Museum Amid Row over its Depiction of American History

President Donald Trump on Friday ordered his administration to install signs outside the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History directing visitors to what the White House describes as “accurate” information about the nation’s past.

The executive order instructs the National Park Service, which maintains the sidewalks outside the museum, to place signs informing visitors about a White House report released July 4 that criticized the Smithsonian’s portrayal of American history. Trump also directed the creation of a temporary exhibit intended to correct what his administration considers inaccurate historical information.

The move follows a report from Trump’s Domestic Policy Council that accused the Smithsonian and the National Museum of American History of failing to present history “in a way that is inspiring, unifying, and worthy of our great republic.”

Because the Smithsonian operates independently of the executive branch, Trump cannot directly remove museum leadership or unilaterally change exhibits. Instead, the order targets federal property outside the museum that falls under National Park Service jurisdiction.

National Museum of American History Director Anthea M. Hartig defended the museum during congressional testimony this week. (Read more from “Trump Orders Signs Outside Smithsonian Museum Amid Row over its Depiction of American History” HERE)

Evolutionists Scratching Their Heads: Existence of Electric Pangolin Confirmed

In a groundbreaking discovery that has sent shockwaves through the scientific community, researchers working in the remote regions of the Democratic Republic of Congo have reportedly encountered what they’re describing as an “electric pangolin.” This unprecedented finding came during a biodiversity expedition in the depths of the Congo Basin rainforest, one of the most biodiverse yet least explored regions on Earth. The research team, composed of zoologists, wildlife biologists, and conservation experts from various international institutions, initially set out to document the declining populations of the traditional pangolin species but instead stumbled upon what may be one of the most significant zoological discoveries of the century. The animal appears to be a variant of the giant pangolin (Smutsia gigantea) but possesses unique biological characteristics that allow it to generate and store electrical charges within its specialized scales.

According to preliminary reports, the electric pangolin shares many morphological features with its known relatives but exhibits several remarkable adaptations. The specimen documented measures approximately 1.4 meters in length, slightly larger than the average giant pangolin. However, the most striking difference lies in its modified scales, which contain specialized cells similar to the electrocytes found in electric eels and other bioelectrogenic fish.

These scales have a unique crystalline structure embedded with conductive proteins that can store and discharge electrical energy. When threatened, the animal can generate electrical pulses measuring up to 50 volts—not lethal to humans but certainly sufficient to deter predators. Unlike other electrogenic animals that use their ability primarily for hunting or navigation, the electric pangolin appears to have evolved this trait primarily as a defense mechanism, possibly in response to increasing predation pressure and human threats in its habitat.

The discovery has profound implications for our understanding of convergent evolution. While bioelectrogenesis has evolved independently in several fish lineages, this marks the first documented case in a terrestrial mammal. Dr. Eleanor Mboto, the lead zoologist on the expedition, explained: “This finding challenges our fundamental understanding of mammalian evolution. The independent development of electrogenic capabilities in a mammal represents an extraordinary example of convergent evolution, where similar traits evolve separately in organisms of different lineages.”

The research team is now conducting genetic analysis to determine whether this is a new species altogether or a previously unknown subspecies of the giant pangolin that has developed this adaptation in isolation. The discovery also raises important questions about how many other undiscovered adaptations might exist in Earth’s most biodiverse but understudied ecosystems.

President Trump’s Reaction to WSJ Reporters Winning Award for Epstein Coverage He Sued Over

President Trump had a priceless reaction Friday night after a crew of journalists were honored at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner for their reporting on the commander-in-chief’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump smiled and laughed as the group of reporters from the Wall Street Journal were given the Katharine Graham Award for Courage and Accountability for their investigative report on a birthday card and drawing purportedly made by the president and given to the notorious sex criminal.

At one point, the president appeared to mouth, “I don’t know,” as he jokingly threw his hands in the air, approaching the moment with good humor. (Read more from “President Trump’s Reaction to WSJ Reporters Winning Award for Epstein Coverage He Sued Over” HERE)

‘Biohacker’ Bryan Johnson Claims He Cloned Himself as a Newborn to Harvest Organs

Tech entrepreneur turned “biohacker” Bryan Johnson revealed the latest development in his quest for eternal youth — claiming he cloned himself as a newborn baby to harvest the organs.

Johnson, who was recently diagnosed with an incurable disease, called his science fiction-sounding organ growing plan a “frontier of new paths” to reverse aging.

“I just cloned myself…as a newborn,” Johnson, 48, wrote on X on Tuesday. “This may be scary to some people…a dystopian future.”

“But for others, they will see it as the inevitable future of health,” added Johnson, who already uses blood transfusions from his “blood boy” teenage son.

While Johnson said this “baby-Bryan” will live in a petri dish for now, he claims the clone will be able to “test therapies on the clone, grow organs for transplantation, develop new treatments,” and “inject young cells.” (Read more from “‘Biohacker’ Bryan Johnson Claims He Cloned Himself as a Newborn to Harvest Organs” HERE)

New Insider Trading Ban Barely Scratches The Surface As Congress Tries To Appease Americans

The new insider trading ban legislation passed by the House stops short of a comprehensive ban on an issue many Americans have expressed concern about.

The Stop Insider Trading Act, passed by the House on Wednesday with a vote of 232-198, had more than a dozen Democrats join Republicans in support.

Public support for banning members of Congress from trading individual stocks while in office has grown after years of scrutiny over lawmakers’ well-timed trades and soaring investment portfolios. However, the legislation advanced by the House falls well short of the sweeping ban sought by many advocates that would target selling stocks and limit federal officials more broadly.

Introduced by Republican Wisconsin Rep. Bryan Steil, the bill would prohibit members of Congress from purchasing individual stocks while in office but would allow them to keep stocks they already own. Lawmakers could also continue selling individual stocks, provided they publicly disclose their intent to sell at least seven days beforehand.

The measure would also sharply increase penalties for disclosure violations. Members who fail to properly report stock transactions could face fines of $2,000 or 10% of the transaction’s value, whichever is greater. That would be an increase from the current $200 penalty for a first offense, according to CNBC.

Trump Says AI Data Centers Pledge Will Make Power Bills ‘Actually Come Down’

President Donald Trump promised his data center pledge would lower Americans’ electricity bills.

Trump expanded his voluntary, nonbinding Ratepayer Protection Pledge on Thursday, the Associated Press reported. Signed by 23 governors, 55 utility companies and 27 data center companies, the pledge asks tech companies to cover their own power costs, according to the White House’s official Ratepayer Pledge page.

“Electricity bills for American families will actually come down,” Trump said, according to the AP. “They’re going to have a lot of electricity left over, and they’ll put that into the grid.”

Energy trends complicate that claim. “Residential electricity rates could rise 15% to 40% over the next five years,” the ICF, an energy consulting firm, said in a May 2025 analysis of select U.S. utilities.

“President Trump expanded his Ratepayer Protection Pledge to governors, legislators, developers, and power providers to ensure everyone involved in building and powering data centers covers their own costs instead of passing them on to American families,” White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Trans Activist Avoids Prison After Threatening To Kill Congresswoman

A South Carolina man who admitted to threatening to assassinate Republican South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace will avoid prison time after receiving a sentence that includes house arrest and probation.

Samuel Theodore Cain, a biological man who identifies as a transgender woman named “Roxie Wolfe,” posted to X on April 26, 2025, that he was going to assassinate Mace with a gun, according to a May press release on Mace’s website.

“I’M GOING TO ASSASSINATE REPRESENTATIVE NANCY MACE WITH A GUN AND I’M BEING 100% DEAD ASS,” Cain posted, according to the press release.

Cain was arrested in May 2025 and attempted to bond out three times but was consistently denied and was brought to tears as a result, The Post Millennial reported.

The activist eventually pleaded guilty and was sentenced Tuesday to five years in prison, which was then suspended in favor of 30 months of house arrest followed by five years of probation, according to The Post Millennial.

WATCH: Brandon Gill Corners Law School Gatekeeper with DEI Question She Won’t Answer

Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, put American Bar Association President Michelle A. Behnke in the hot seat Wednesday, repeatedly pressing her on whether the ABA’s diversity principles would justify rejecting a third Black Supreme Court justice.

The tense exchange came during a House Oversight Committee Task Force on Defending Constitutional Rights and Exposing Constitutional Abuses hearing examining the ABA’s role in law school accreditation. Republicans argued the organization has used its accreditation authority to advance race-conscious DEI policies throughout the legal profession, while the ABA defended its commitment to diversity, saying it strengthens the profession without supporting racial quotas.

Gill, who chairs the task force, has accused the ABA of using its accreditation power to pressure law schools into adopting race-conscious admissions policies and mandatory DEI-related coursework.

“DEI is a cancerous ideology that promotes unlawful discrimination and steals opportunities from Americans who would otherwise earn jobs and law school admissions spots on merit,” Gill said ahead of the hearing.

During one of the hearing’s sharpest exchanges, Gill questioned Behnke about statements on the ABA’s website promoting judicial diversity. He cited the ABA’s position that judges should reflect the diversity of American society, then asked whether a racially representative Supreme Court would be beneficial.

Dem Candidate ‘Completely Unaware’ After Email Found In Ashley Madison Leak

The email of the Democratic nominee for Kentucky’s 6th Congressional District, Zach Dembo, was found linked to an Ashley Madison account; however, his team says he has no clue how it got there.

Dembo, a former Navy Judge Advocate General Corps (JAG) officer and federal prosecutor, has his name and email shared on the Kentucky Bar Association website. This email is also found using a tool that searches emails used to create accounts on the infamous adultery hookup website Ashley Madison.

In 2015, as many as 37 million emails allegedly used to create Ashley Madison accounts were released by a group of hackers known as “The Impact Team.”

“Find yourself in here?” the team asked upon releasing the leak. “Learn your lesson and make amends. Embarrassing now, but you’ll get over it.”

A search tool created by the same person who, two years earlier, built a website that allowed Adobe users to verify whether their accounts were secure shows that Dembo’s email, as shared by the Kentucky Bar Association, was found among the leaked emails.
