‘Objectively Outrageous’: Judge Makes Inspiring Decision After Woman Arrested for Criticizing Government Official

Officials in the town of Surprise, Arizona, have been humiliated by a public scolding from a judge in Maricopa County in a case in which they ordered a woman at a public meeting arrested because they didn’t like what she was saying.

The Constitution’s First Amendment, of course, was written in order to protect speech that someone doesn’t like, and in this case the comments were about the ability – or ineptitude – of a tax-paid city official.

Rebekah Anne Massie came to the public meeting to express her displeasure, and got arrested for her words.

Judge Gerald Williams now has dismissed the charges fabricated against Massie, with prejudice, meaning they cannot be refiled, ever. . .

His conclusion was definitive: “IT IS ORDERED THAT this case is dismissed with prejudice, in the interests of justice,” he wrote. “The defendant should not have faced criminal prosecution once for expressing her political views. The court agrees that she should never face criminal prosecution, for expressing her political views on that date, at that time, again. Nor should she be forced to encounter additional attorney feeds should this matter be re-filed…” (Read more from “‘Objectively Outrageous’: Judge Makes Inspiring Decision After Woman Arrested for Criticizing Government Official” HERE)

‘Shameful’: Judge Stuns State With Order That ‘Noncitizens’ Be Put back on Voter Rolls

A federal judge has stunned officials in the state of Virginia with an order that they put a list of 1,600 people, removed from voter rolls under a state program that cracks down on election fraud, back on the voter rolls.

Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin promised an immediate appeal of the scheme that could undermine election integrity.

It is WRIC that reported on the ruling from a Joe Biden-appointed judge, District Judge Patricia Tolliver Giles, who claimed that Virginia’s state program to work on keeping its voter rolls clean was “systemic,” not “individual.”

Her claim is that because of her determination, the rolls were cleaned within 90 days of an election, and that’s in violation of the National Voter Registration Act.

It was the Biden administration, which has run a program of open borders for the nation for nearly four years now, removing obstacles that would prevent illegal aliens from simply walking onto U.S. land and taking advantage of the multitude of social and financial benefits programs, that sued the state for trying to remove those who are not eligible to vote.

The GOP Just Secured a Massive Election Integrity Win

The Republican National Convention (RNC) won a massive election integrity victory, undermining unlawful ballot counting laws in Democrat states.

On Friday, the RNC secured a win in the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled that mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day cannot be counted under federal law. This comes as Democrats have claimed it will take days to count all the ballots due to late mail-in votes.

Circuit Judge Andrew S. Oldham ruled that “Congress statutorily designated a singular ‘day for the election’ of members of Congress and the appointment of presidential electors. Text, precedent, and historical practice confirm this ‘day for the election’ is the day by which ballots must be both cast by voters and received by state officials.”

RNC Chairman Michael Whatley (R-NC) called it a significant win for preserving the integrity and fairness of the presidential election.

“This is a major win for election integrity, upholding the law and commonsense ballot safeguards. Voters deserve nothing less than a fair and transparent election which ends on November 5th,” Whatley said. “We will continue to defend the law, fight for the protection of every legal vote, and stop election interference in our country’s most important election.”

Israel Attacks Tehran Military Targets in Retaliation for Ballistic Missile Barrage — As It Vows To Do ‘Whatever Necessary’

Israel launched airstrikes at military targets in Iran early Saturday in retaliation for Tehran’s ballistic barrage of 200 rockets targeting the Jewish state earlier this month, the Israeli military confirmed.

Multiple explosions were reported near Tehran, Iran’s capital, and the nearby city of Karaj as Israel’s initial strikes appeared to have targeted a weapons depot, along with a barracks or office, senior Arab officials told NBC News.

“It was so loud and the sky became red,” said an Iranian resident in Tehran, who asked not to be named.

Another Tehran resident said she “woke up to a distant sound of blasts” Saturday morning, adding there was a heavy presence of Islamic Revolutionary Guards in the city on Friday, according to CNN.

The Israel Defense Forces fired “precise strikes” on military targets in Iran “in response to months of continuous attacks from the regime in Iran against the State of Israel,” an IDF spokesperson said in a statement.

Arizona Ballot Box Set on Fire, Disrupting Voting Process Two Weeks Before Election

An Arizona ballot box was set on fire, damaging the twenty electoral ballots and disrupting the voting process.

The Phoenix Fire Department responded to a call at 1:30 a.m. on Thursday after someone lit a ballot box containing mail-in ballots. The ballots ruined in the fire were sent to the postal inspector for investigation. Investigators also collected surveillance video from the scene and sent it to the Phoenix Fire Investigations Task Force.

“The Postal Inspector took possession of the damaged ballots and mail,” explained Phoenix Fire Capt. Rob McDade. “The Phoenix Fire Investigations Task Force, which includes Phoenix Police detectives and Phoenix Fire investigators, are working with US Postal Inspectors. Approximately 20 electoral ballots were damaged, along with additional miscellaneous mail. The Postal Inspector took possession of the damaged ballots and mail.”

Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego confirmed that the suspect has been arrested and identified as 35-year-old Dieter Bradford Klofkorn. She suggested that the incident was random and not politically motivated.

“Klofkorn was located and arrested for an outstanding and unrelated arrest warrant. While in custody, he was interviewed about his involvement in the arson. Klofkorn admitted to committing the arson,” the police report stated. “Klofkorn stated that he committed the arson because he wanted to be arrested and that his actions were not politically motivated and not related to anything involving the upcoming election.” (Read more from “Arizona Ballot Box Set on Fire, Disrupting Voting Process Two Weeks Before Election” HERE)

The Atlantic Hit Piece on Trump Is a Psy-Op To Justify Post-Election Violence if Harris Loses

The outlandish hit piece on Donald Trump published this week by Jeffery Goldberg at The Atlantic, which was immediately denied on the record by all the people who were in the room with Trump, isn’t just a shoddy smear that would never have passed muster in a newsroom 20 years ago.

It’s more than that. It’s part of a larger psy-op to justify mass post-election violence if Trump wins in November, to signal activists to reject the results of the election, to divide the military, and to coax an insurgency out of the radical left-wing base of the Democratic Party and unleash it on American cities.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ shocking remarks Wednesday on the steps of the Naval Observatory should be understood in this light. Citing comments quoted in The Atlantic from former Trump chief of staff John Kelly, Harris explicitly compared Trump to Hitler and claimed that if elected he will rule as a dictator and unleash the military on his domestic political opponents.

“He does not want a military that is loyal to the United States Constitution, he wants a military that is loyal to him,” she said. “He wants a military that is loyal to him personally. One that will obey his orders even when he tells them to break the law or abandon their oath to the Constitution of the United States.”

Harris went on to call Trump a fascist, claim he would be a dictator on day one, and repeat a line she’s been using often lately, that Trump will use the military to go after American citizens, using it as “his personal militia to carry out his personal and political vendettas.” She closed by saying Trump is “increasing unhinged and unstable” and that he “wants unchecked power.”

Wife of Slain Cop Warned Tim Walz To Stay away From Funeral — Or She’d ‘Escort His Ass Out of Here’

The widow of a sheriff’s deputy who was gunned down in the line of duty warned Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz he was not welcome at the funeral because of his treatment of cops — threatening to kick his “ass out” if he dared to show up.

Shannon Owen told Kamala Harris’ running mate that he was not welcome at the services for her husband, Josh Owen, an Iraq veteran and Pope County sheriff’s deputy who was shot and killed while working on his 44th birthday in April 2023.

“You have never been a supporter of the police and I’d just appreciate it if you just don’t come anywhere near my town,” she warned Walz in a recording obtained by the Telegraph.

“And he’s like, ‘Why is that?’ And I said, ‘Because you defunded the police. You don’t even support the police, why would I want you to come?’” the widow said, stressing that her husband “did not like him at all.”

The widow warned Walz that if he did show up, she would “make sure that I escort your ass out of here.” (Read more from “Wife of Slain Cop Warned Tim Walz To Stay away From Funeral — Or She’d ‘Escort His Ass Out of Here’” HERE)

Child Services Operatives Worked With Biden-Harris on Secret Database of ‘Trans Kids’

An Ohio child welfare agency created a “confidential spreadsheet” tracking the sexual orientation and transgender identity of children as young as 5, according to a document exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The Cuyahoga County Division of Children and Family Services (DCFS) created a database tracking the sexual orientation, transgender identity and pronouns of children that interacted with the child welfare system in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, featuring entries dated from March 2018 to the most recent entry on August 2024. The spreadsheet was part of their ‘Safe Identification’ program, which teaches social services staff how to collect information about the sexuality and gender identity of children.

In 2017, Cuyahoga County DCFS was one of four social services agencies nationwide chosen to research, develop and evaluate transgender ideology-based child welfare interventions that suggest parents and caregivers who do not affirm a child’s sexual orientation or gender confusion are unsafe and may need to have their children removed from their home. Members of the Biden-Harris administration called the Cuyahoga County group “trailblazers” and wanted to nationalize their model. The Cuyahoga County DCFS team influenced the recently finalized Biden-Harris rule which requires child welfare systems to validate and support gender confusion.

On the confidential spreadsheet, Cuyahoga County DCFS staff detailed how they helped children obtain sex-change drugs, purchased a chest binder for a “non binary” child and noted at least one tracked child was 5 years old. The document tracked if children were “transgender or gender diverse,” labeling them as pansexual, bisexual, gay, lesbian, straight, or “questioning” their sexual orientation. One entry for a boy listed as gay said: “Youth says his gay b/c his peers told him so.”

Nearly half the children in the confidential spreadsheet were listed as living outside of the foster care system in their “own home” with their parents. The spreadsheet notes if parents are “accepting” or “rejecting” of their child’s gender confusion. Some transgender activists view rejecting a child’s gender confusion, such as not letting a child cross-dress, as an act of abuse or neglect.

Trump Promises to Combat the Persecution of Christians Worldwide

The Joe Biden-Kamala Harris duo, in power in the White House, has worked hard to impose the LGBT ideology around the globe. . .

President Donald Trump, if elected in just two weeks, would pick another priority, according to a report in the Blaze.

He would focus on ending the persecution of Christians.

The report explains that the issue arose when he was criticizing Biden and Harris for refusing to help the ethnic Armenians of Artsakh.

“The Biden-Harris administration has prioritized the advancement of the LGBT agenda and climate alarmism in its foreign policy. President Donald Trump has identified a different priority for his future administration: Combat the brutal persecution of Christians around the globe,” the Blaze confirmed.

Ex-Girlfriend Speaks Out: Kamala Harris’ Husband Slapped Me in the Face

The alleged ex-girlfriend of Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff has come forward accusing him of slapping her across the face, according to a report released Thursday.

Speaking with the Daily Mail, the woman, who has reportedly chosen to remain anonymous, contended that the outlet’s prior reporting about the incident in question is true. As The Federalist’s Tristan Justice previously noted, three friends of the alleged victim claimed to the Daily Mail that Emhoff — the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris — “struck the woman named under the pseudonym ‘Jane’ following a glitzy night out at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival in France.”

The alleged victim’s friends also provided photos, “other documents and communications corroborating elements of the story,” according to the outlet.

Described by the Daily Mail as a “successful New York attorney,” the accuser reportedly did not want to go on the record at the time the outlet published its first story on the alleged incident. According to the Daily Mail, she changed her mind after witnessing Emhoff’s “alleged hypocrisy by claiming to be a feminist in media interviews, [which] finally became too much for her.”

“What’s frightening for a woman that’s been on the other end of it, is watching this completely fabricated persona being portrayed,” she said. “He’s being held out to be the antithesis of who he actually is. And that is utterly shocking.” (Read more from “Ex-Girlfriend Speaks Out: Kamala Harris’ Husband Slapped Me in the Face” HERE)
