Oregon DMV Busted Allowing People of ‘Unknown Citizenship’ to Register to Vote

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles has directed its employees to process the voter registration of those with “unknown citizenship” status, simply requiring that they claim eligibility, The Federalist has learned.

“If you don’t prove that you’re not a U.S. citizen, then you will be asked if you want to self-attest to being a citizen, and they will assist you with registering to vote,” Republican state Rep. Ed Diehl told The Federalist.

Early last month, Democrat Gov. Tina Kotek paused Oregon’s “motor voter” program as the state began a cursory investigation into how the system had registered more than 1,500 potential noncitizens to vote, as The Federalist previously reported.

In response to this discovery, Diehl met with state DMV leaders on Oct. 21. He said the DMV has reverted to only registering voters with a form that relies on attestation to prove citizenship.

“I​​nstead of being optional — a side track basically for voter registration — it’s right now the only way,” Diehl said. (Read more from “Oregon DMV Busted Allowing People of ‘Unknown Citizenship’ to Register to Vote” HERE)

‘The Judges Know It’s A Political Thing’: Michigan Court Pauses Peaceful Pro-Lifers’ Sentencing Until Trump Admin Starts

/0 Comments/in , /by

Justin Phillips says he and several other pro-life advocates sat in front of the doors of an abortion mill in Sterling Heights, Michigan on August 27, 2020, delaying a pregnant woman from entering the facility for about an hour.

For that hour of sitting, Phillips faces the prospect of over a decade in federal prison, as his attorney and others familiar with the case have confirmed. But for Phillips and others across the country charged with violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, hope was sparked this week that President-Elect Donald Trump could quell the zeal of the Department of Justice (DOJ) which has in recent years been actively targeting pro-lifers engaging peacefully with women outside of abortion mills.

The FACE Act was enacted under President Bill Clinton in 1994. The law prohibits interfering with anyone seeking, obtaining, or providing so-called “reproductive health services.”

Phillips and others have been awaiting sentencing in their case, but in a status conference this week, U.S. District Judge Matthew F. Leitman in Michigan’s Eastern District told attorneys to stand down.

In an order released Wednesday, Leitman paused all briefings on post-trial motions until further notice and pushed the next status conference to March 24, 2025, at the latest — well after Trump’s inauguration.

Donald Trump’s Ally Rejects Putin Negotiation Plan

/0 Comments/in , /by

South Dakota Senator Mike Rounds has dismissed calls for a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, suggesting Russian President Vladimir Putin could not be trusted to honor such an agreement.

“As much as I would like to believe we can negotiate with a tyrant, I suspect we may be deceiving ourselves,” Rounds said in reference to Putin at the Halifax Security Forum on Friday.

“Do you believe that this tyrant, if you offer him a part of a free country, do you think he’s gonna stop?” Rounds said.

“I wish I could say there’s an easy way out, there’s not.” (Read more from “Donald Trump’s Ally Rejects Putin Negotiation Plan” HERE)

Most Democrats Aren’t Motivated to Oppose Donald Trump: New Poll

/0 Comments/in , /by

Most Democrats are not motivated to oppose President-elect Donald Trump as he prepares to take office, despite half saying they feel “scared” about what he will do as the country’s leader, according to a post-election poll published on Sunday.

Earlier this month, Democrats took a loss as Trump secured the popular vote and 312 Electoral College votes to win a second term in the White House, beating out Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris.

Over the past few weeks, Trump has begun his transition back to the Oval Office, having previously served as the 45th president. He is the second U.S. president to take office again in a nonconsecutive term, the first being President Grover Cleveland.

Down the ballot, the Republican Party retained their majority in the House of Representatives, and flipped the Senate, gaining control with 53 seats. (Read more from “Most Democrats Aren’t Motivated to Oppose Donald Trump: New Poll” HERE)

‘Right Now Is the Most Dangerous Time’: Major Potential Trump Pick Sounds Alarm

/0 Comments/in , /by

Kash Patel, the former Department of Defense chief of staff who is reportedly on President-elect Donald Trump’s short list to be the next director of the FBI, is now sounding the alarm about the current time period before Trump is inaugurated, leaving Joe Biden and the Deep State in charge.

“Right now is, I think in my opinion, the most dangerous time, the sort of lame duck period where the president is not acting in the capability that needs to defend this nation,” Patel told Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures” on the Fox News Channel.

“And what we need to do is have our leaders of the agencies and departments that were confirmed by the Senate show up and do their job and tell the Senate and the House of Representatives these are our failures, these are our weaknesses, we need help, we need you to respond the in this time of need. And those guys not showing up to the Hill and just deflecting their responsibility shows us how much more danger we’re in,” he continued.

“We know what President Trump’s gonna do, but he’s 54 days away from taking the oath of office. Right now, we need the United States of America to remind those agencies and department leaders that they work for us, and the mandate that President Trump was given was to protect our borders, to make sure CCP fentanyl doesn’t kill our children, to the end the forever wars, to return our hostages, and make sure American global diplomacy is in great hands when President Trump is sent to the to Oval Office on January 20th. And we must respect the will and power of Congress, I cannot stress that enough. (Read more from “‘Right Now Is the Most Dangerous Time’: Major Potential Trump Pick Sounds Alarm” HERE)

Fmr Homeland Security Sec Doubts Trump’s Mass Deportation Plan, Teases Ban On Executive Orders

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson cast doubt Sunday on NBC News about President-elect Donald Trump’s mass deportation plans, after suggesting that presidential executive orders should be banned.

During Trump’s campaign, the former president vowed to shut down the U.S. southern border and conduct a large-scale deportation operation. On “Meet the Press,” NBC host Kristen Welker questioned Johnson about Trump’s plan, noting how he planned to continue rolling out his goals for the border after signing executive orders.

“So, first of all, somebody should pass a law banning executive orders on day one. Because the reality is executive orders drafted by transition teams without the input of the affected agency before the cabinet secretaries are even confirmed are not great ideas,” Johnson said.

Johnson went on to call out the travel ban as an example of an executive order he disagreed with and was involved in during the Obama administration, noting that Guantanamo Bay is still open. The former secretary also said Trump should start with the deportation of criminals, national security threats and recent border crossers, highlighting the “reality of enforcement” even for Trump.

Report: Feds Silent on ‘Humanitarian Flight’ Laken Riley’s Killer Got From NYC to Georgia

/0 Comments/in , /by

Federal officials are reportedly not saying anything regarding a “humanitarian flight” convicted killer Jose Ibarra, an illegal alien, was given in 2023.

Fox News reported on Sunday that officials would not give the outlet more information about the flight Ibarra, who was recently convicted of murdering 22-year-old Laken Riley, received from New York City to Atlanta, Georgia.

Riley, who was a nursing student, was killed in Athens, Georgia, on February 22 by Ibarra after he stalked her as she jogged that morning on the University of Georgia (UGA) campus, Breitbart News reported Wednesday.

During Ibarra’s trial on Monday, prosecutors showed an image of Ibarra’s Delta Air Lines ticket going from New York to Atlanta, which was dated September 28, 2023. The Fox article continued:

FBI Special Agent Jamie Hipkiss said a photo of the boarding pass was pulled from a WhatsApp account associated with Ibarra.

Ibarra’s former roommate, Rosbeli Flores-Bello, testified on Monday that she and Ibarra — both Venezuelan nationals who connected in Queens, New York, in 2023 after meeting through a mother-in-law — went to the Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan in September of that year to request a “humanitarian flight” to Atlanta. Ibarra’s brother, Diego, promised they would find work in Athens, Georgia.

Insider Confirms Dems Lining up ‘Shadow’ Government to Undermine Elected President

/12 Comments/in , , /by

An insider has confirmed Democrat plans for a “shadow” government, or “shadow cabinet,” that would have the goal of undermining America’s elected president, Donald Trump.

“You are now starting to see spots of messaging of how they plan to challenge the agenda of President-elect Trump. Last week, one-term House Member Wiley Nickel, D-N.C., in what can only be described as a Democrat fever dream, proposed a ‘shadow cabinet’ which appears to be either a desperate attempt to retain power or secure his place as a talking head on whatever is left of mainstream media,” explained Ami Sanchez, a life-long Democrat, in a commentary at Human Events.

“There are Left-wing organizations forming and a network of existing organizations picking up the ‘shadow government’ banner and calling for opposition to the agenda of Trump while making plans to defeat him before he even takes office.”
`
WND had reported earlier on plans by Nickel, who did not seek reelection and is leaving Congress, for the “shadow” operations and operatives. . .

A report at the Gateway Pundit, which reposted the Nickel comments, said, “Democrats and Trump-haters in the DC Swamp went to great lengths to hide their efforts to destroy President Trump, his family, individuals associated with his campaign, his top administration officials, and eventually, his supporters from 2016 to October 2024. This time around, Democrats apparently aren’t going to hide their plans to thwart the President and his administration.” (Read more from “Insider Confirms Dems Lining up ‘Shadow’ Government to Undermine Elected President” HERE)

Guess Who Joe Biden Just Awarded the Highest Civilian Honor To

/5 Comments/in , , /by

President Joe Biden, a “devout” Catholic, awarded the highest civilian honor a person can receive to a woman who has the blood of more than four million unborn babies on her hands.

The former president of Planned Parenthood, Cecile Richards, was given the presidential medal of freedom for her “absolute courage” and “fearless[ness],” who Biden says has “carved an inspiring legacy.”

Richards, the daughter of late Democrat Texas governor Ann Richards, spent 12 years working as Planned Parenthood’s chief; during that time, she was caught on an undercover video arranging payments for fetal tissue from aborted babies. However, the clinic has denied allegations that the video is accurate.

After the video was made public, Richards defended her job, claiming, “Our donation programs—like any other high-quality health care providers—follow all laws and ethical guidelines.”
