Justice Dept. Sues State for Allegedly Purging Noncitizens From Voter Rolls Too Close to Election

/4 Comments/in , /by

The U.S. Department of Justice is suing Virginia, alleging that the commonwealth removed noncitizens from its voter rolls too close to Election Day.

The complaint alleges that the state Board of Elections and Virginia Commissioner of Elections Susan Beals violated the federal National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), which mandates that states must complete their maintenance program no later than 90 days before an election under a clause known as the Quiet Period Provision.

The agency alleges that Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin violated the NVRA when announcing and subsequently carrying out an executive order which required the election commissioner to regularly update the state’s voter lists to remove individuals who have been “identified as noncitizens,” and had not responded to a request to verify their citizenship in 14 days.

Under Youngkin’s executive order, Virginia has removed 6,303 individuals.

“The Executive Order formalized the Program and announced that 6,303 individuals had been removed from the rolls pursuant to the same process between January 2022 and July 2024,” the complaint said.

Kamala’s Husband Doug Emhoff Does Not Deny Allegations of Slapping Ex-Girlfriend

/5 Comments/in , /by

In a soon-to-be-released interview with MSNBC, Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, has not denied allegations made against him regarding a past incident in which he allegedly slapped his ex-girlfriend. The snippet of the interview, set to air on Monday on “Morning Joe,” has raised eyebrows, particularly given the serious nature of the claims.

The allegations, first reported by The Daily Mail, stem from a night out during the 2012 Cannes Film Festival, where three friends of the alleged victim, referred to under the pseudonym “Jane,” claim Emhoff struck her. The friends have reportedly provided photographs and other documentation to support their account of the incident.

While Emhoff did not respond directly to requests for comment from The Daily Mail, a spokesman for him stated to Semafor that the report was “untrue” and insisted that any suggestion that he has ever hit a woman is false. However, during the MSNBC interview, Emhoff did not specifically refute the allegations but instead described discussions about his personal life as a “distraction.”

“We don’t have time to be pissed off. We don’t have time to focus on it; it’s all a distraction. It’s designed to try to get us off our game,” he stated when pressed about the implications of the tabloid claims. His comments come amidst a backdrop of intense scrutiny over the personal lives of political figures, particularly in the context of a heated election season.

During the same interview, Emhoff was also questioned about former President Donald Trump’s decision to skip a second debate with Harris. He criticized Trump for spreading a “fog of misinformation and disinformation and gaslighting,” a sentiment echoed by co-host Joe Scarborough, who characterized the tabloid allegations about Emhoff as part of this “misinformation.”

Kamala Has Never Been More Awkward Than During Her Univision Town Hall Interview

/6 Comments/in , /by

After watching Vice President Kamala Harris’s incredible slog of a town hall-style interview Thursday on Univision, there’s absolutely no way her support among Latino U.S. voters is going to do anything but bottom out.

That was the most excruciating hour-long campaign session I can recall and it’s not even close. The peak of the event was when she hollered at a non-English speaker who asked an innocuous question about the Democrat primary process, which Kamala skipped over before being hoisted up as the party nominee.

That guy was named Mario and he identified himself as a 70-year-old from Uruguay. He said President Biden as the original nominee seemed to have been pushed aside and because of that, he was now inclined to vote for Donald Trump. He asked Kamala to clarify the process under which she was anointed the party’s standard-bearer.

After a quick glossing over of how she was able to get delegates to rally behind her — admittedly, that’s how national party politics works in its rawest form— she ventured off into a weird and angry screed about Trump being a dictator (never heard that one).

She told her elderly and confused questioner to “look up” the ever-so-fearsome Project 2025, and she did it with all the warmth of an annoyed waiter telling a customer to scan the QR code to pay his bill. She then screamed about a rumor that Trump was sending Covid tests to Russia because she really thinks Vladimir Putin is atop of the mind of a 70-year-old migrant to America. The guy just stared at her. (Read more from “Kamala Has Never Been More Awkward Than During Her Univision Town Hall Interview” HERE)

DISGRACE: Kamala Harris Posed for Vogue Cover While Hurricane Death Toll Rises

/3 Comments/in , /by

Vice President Kamala Harris posed for her second Vogue cover on October 7, 2024, while search and rescue operations continued for survivors of Hurricane Helene. The cover was released on Friday, mere days after the photoshoot took place, infuriating Americans due to the vice president’s carelessness.

The aftermath of the hurricane has been catastrophic, with search efforts ongoing for hundreds of missing individuals. A Google spreadsheet initiated by a dedicated volunteer currently lists over 400 people as unaccounted for. The death toll has reached at least 230 across five states, with numbers rising daily as recovery efforts proceed.

In North Carolina alone, the situation has become increasingly dire. As reported by the News & Observer, the state’s death toll climbed to 115 on Friday, up from 92 just one day prior. The devastation has not only claimed lives but has also left almost 70,000 homes and businesses in North Carolina and Georgia without power, complicating rescue and recovery efforts.

Herschel Walker to Barack Obama: ‘Telling Us to Vote Based on Color Is a Step Backward’

/4 Comments/in , /by

Former Georgia candidate for U.S. Senate Herschel Walker blasted Barack Obama for sending black people backward in equality by demanding they vote based on skin color.

Walker’s slam against Obama came after the former president warned that not enough black people — especially black men — are supporting Harris, according to the current polls.

“Barack Obama, you forgot how hard we fought for our right to vote! Telling us how to vote based on color is a step backward. The bad policies of Biden/Harris have hurt us all. We need unity brother, not division!” Walker wrote, adding #Togetherwestand.

Obama’s comments followed a September 30 Pew Research poll that found only 84 percent of black people said they were planning to vote for Kamala Harris for president, while 13 percent said they were backing Trump. By contrast, Joe Biden won 92 percent of the black vote in 2020.

Harris’s declining support among black people has a lot of Democrat insiders worried, and Obama voiced that worry when he visited the important swing state of Pennsylvania this week. (Read more from “Herschel Walker to Barack Obama: ‘Telling Us to Vote Based on Color Is a Step Backward’” HERE)

UFC CEO Dana White Slams Kamala Harris’ Appearance on Colbert: ‘Should Scare Everyone’

/2 Comments/in , /by

UFC chief Dana White has come out swinging against Vice President Kamala Harris, saying the fact she is “incapable of putting a sentence together” should “SCARE THE S–T” out of everyone.

White shared a much-ridiculed clip of Harris stumbling over her words when asked on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” what “major changes” she would make if elected compared to those of her current administration with President Biden.

“I don’t like to post a lot of political content, but this clip should scare EVERYONE,” White, 55, posted on X.

“She is the sitting VP and running for President of the United States. She is incapable of putting a sentence together without a teleprompter and even she appears to know she is in way over her head,” continued the UFC chief.

“This election is very important and this along with the many other clips of her attempting to answer questions should SCARE THE S–T OUT OF YOU!!!” he wrote. (Read more from “UFC CEO Dana White Slams Kamala Harris’ Appearance on Colbert: ‘Should Scare Everyone’” HERE)

West Virginia Resolution Would Prohibit State From Recognizing a President Elected by Fraud

/2 Comments/in , , /by

As the 2024 presidential election approaches, it is widely expected that Republican candidate Donald Trump will secure a decisive victory in West Virginia, capturing the state’s four electoral votes with ease. However, a group of Republican lawmakers in West Virginia’s House of Delegates is pushing for the state to take a more prominent stance on the legitimacy of the election itself.

Five members of the House of Delegates recently introduced House Concurrent Resolution 203, which challenges the integrity of the upcoming national election. The resolution declares that the West Virginia Legislature will refuse to acknowledge the results of a presidential election deemed “illegitimate.” Central to their claim is the assertion that there is “overwhelming evidence” suggesting non-citizens are being registered to vote in the 2024 election.

The resolution’s language goes beyond general concerns and specifically outlines a variety of scenarios under which West Virginia could withhold recognition of the election outcome. The lawmakers’ concerns focus on allegations of election fraud or tampering in any state, implying that even isolated incidents of interference could invalidate the entire election in their eyes. According to the text of the resolution, if “election interference” is detected, West Virginia would not accept the election of the president, raising questions about how the state might handle certification of results and participate in the broader electoral process.

While Trump’s victory in the state seems certain, this move by Republican delegates signals a deeper skepticism about the national election process and could be indicative of broader challenges to the outcome if similar sentiments take hold in other states. The introduction of the resolution also highlights ongoing divisions within the country regarding election security, with some lawmakers continuing to push narratives that question the legitimacy of election processes and results on a broader scale.

Here’s the full language of the resolution:

HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 203

(By Delegates Ridenour, Mazzocchi, Dillon, Longanacre, Coop-Gonzalez, Foster, Foggin, Steele, and Butler)

[Introduced October 6, 2024; referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.]

Requesting that the West Virginia Legislature shall not recognize an illegitimate presidential election.

Whereas, a Constitutionally valid government only exists and endures when elections are conducted in accordance with all applicable legal requirements and are free of violence or threats of violence, government manipulation, censorship, coercion, fraudulent voting, or manipulation of votes, election tabulation, and/or election results by any means whatsoever; and that

Whereas, in the 2024 election cycle there have been, to date, two assassination attempts on the Republican nominee for President of the United States while threats of assassination of the Republican nominees for president and vice president abound. The federal government, under the current Democrat-led regime, has utterly failed, and continues to fail, in a suspicious manner, in its absolute duty to adequately protect the Republican nominee for president; and that

Whereas, the Constitutions of the United States and the State of West Virginia require that only legal citizens may vote in U.S. and West Virginia elections, and that there is abundant evidence that non-citizens have been and are being registered to vote in the national election of 2024; therefore, be it

Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:

That, the sovereign State of West Virginia declares it will not recognize an election for President if such election is enabled by illegal or fraudulent acts; and be it

Further Resolved, That, the State of West Virginia will not recognize any election of the Democrat candidate for President during the 2024 election cycle if the Republican presidential or vice-presidential candidate is assassinated, seriously injured during an assassination attempt, incarcerated, de facto eliminated or barred from the ballot in any states, or is the subject of legal actions that preclude their effective campaigning; and be it

Further Resolved, That, the State of West Virginia will not recognize an election of a candidate for President during the 2024 election cycle if the Attorney General of West Virginia or the Secretary of State of West Virginia, in consultation with the West Virginia Legislature, determine that election fraud in any state was a major reason that resulted in a candidate for President obtaining a majority in the Electoral College. Election fraud includes non-citizen voting, vote buying, ballot forgery, illegal or illicit ballot harvesting, illegal or illicit discarding of legal votes or voter registrations, ballot miscounts, algorithmic manipulation of votes or vote tabulations, cyber-attack or manipulation, or intimidation. Election fraud also includes interference by any government entities, including arrests or prosecutions for apparent political motives, or other forms of persecution using legal or official processes, to negatively affect an electoral process, or a political entity participating in an electoral process, using unconstitutional, extraconstitutional, illegal, or otherwise illegitimate means, including those under the color of law or office; and be it

Further Resolved, That, the State of West Virginia will not recognize an election of a candidate for President, if the Attorney General of West Virginia or the Secretary of State of West Virginia, in consultation with the West Virginia Legislature, determine that election interference by the federal government, foreign governments, or other state governments was a key factor that resulted in a candidate for President obtaining a majority in the Electoral College. Election interference includes censorship, information suppression or manipulation, or other unconstitutional, extraconstitutional, illegal, or otherwise illegitimate actions by the federal government, foreign governments, or other state governments, either directly or in collusion with elements of the media, social media entities, information entities, or political entities; and be it

Further Resolved, Thereupon a determination by the Legislature of West Virginia, in consultation with the Attorney General and Secretary of State, of either the illegal or illicit elimination of the Republican presidential or vice presidential candidate during the 2024 election cycle; or election fraud or election interference resulting in the Constitutionally illegitimate selection of a President during the 2024 election cycle, the Legislature will be called into special session by the Governor to consider actions to preserve the Freedom of our People.

Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the House forward a copy of this resolution to the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia, the Secretary of State of West Virginia, and the Governor of West Virginia; and, be it

Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the House forward a copy of this resolution to the United States Congress.

End of Fluoridation of US Water Could Be in Sight After Federal Court Ruling

/2 Comments/in , /by

For decades, drinking water fluoridation opponents were often portrayed as a fringe element and conspiracy theorists, but a federal ruling in the US may put an end to the practice and marks a pivotal point in their campaign to convince the public and policymakers of the substance’s dangers for infants’ developing brains.

Armed with a growing body of scientific evidence pointing toward fluoride’s neurotoxicity, public health advocates say the legal win shows they are overcoming “institutional inertia” and the unwillingness of federal public health agencies to admit they may have been wrong.

The order last week requiring the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to begin the process of strengthening fluoride regulations represents a “landmark” legal win that has long been in the making, said Stuart Cooper, director of the Fluoridation Action Network advocacy group.

“After many years of them ignoring us and defending fluoridation, we had an opportunity to get a fair and balanced adjudication in courts,” Cooper said.

The Obama-appointed US judge Edward Chen found fluoridation could cause developmental damage and lower IQ in children at levels to which the public is generally exposed in drinking water. Though the ruling did not state the level at which fluoridation would damage brains, the levels in US water present an unreasonable risk, the court found.

North Korean Engineers Utilize AI and Fake IDs To Secure US Remote Work

/0 Comments/in , /by

A recent report by the Asian Nikkei Review reveals that North Korean engineers are leveraging artificial intelligence and sophisticated deception techniques to secure remote jobs with foreign governments and corporations, ultimately funneling U.S. dollars into the regime of Kim Jong-un.

The investigation highlights the case of Matthew Isaac Knoot, a 38-year-old from Nashville, Tennessee, who allegedly operated a “laptop farm” aimed at generating revenue for North Korea’s weapons program. Knoot reportedly used stolen identities to mislead American and British companies into hiring North Korean workers disguised as remote IT personnel. The proceeds from these fraudulent operations were laundered into accounts linked to both North Korean and Chinese entities.

According to the Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Tennessee, Knoot’s operation garnered over $250,000 in revenue between July 2022 and August 2023 from each false worker employed. Authorities dismantled Knoot’s operation in August, leading to charges of aggravated identity theft and conspiracy to unlawfully employ aliens, with a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison looming if he is found guilty.

This incident is not an isolated case. It exemplifies a broader trend where North Korean actors infiltrate U.S. tech companies using forged or stolen identities, all in an effort to finance the regime’s activities or facilitate cyberattacks. In a report published by Google’s security subsidiary, Mandiant, a North Korean hacker group known as “UNC5267” was identified as actively attempting to breach U.S. tech firms. This decentralized group, operating since at least 2018, has members living in various countries, including China, Russia, and parts of Africa and Southeast Asia.

Lili Infante, founder and CEO of Miami-based cybersecurity startup CAT Labs, spoke about the challenges her firm has faced, stating, “We’ve weeded out over 50 candidates that were North Korean spies. I had to implement specific controls in my hiring process.”

In a similar vein, cybersecurity firm KnowBe4 reported in July that it had detected a North Korean spy posing as a remote software engineer within its ranks. The company noted that the individual passed several background checks, illustrating the sophistication of these infiltration tactics.

The techniques employed by North Korean operatives are becoming increasingly advanced, with reports indicating that some individuals juggle multiple remote jobs simultaneously, generating millions of dollars for the regime. As the threat of infiltration continues to grow, U.S. companies are urged to enhance their vetting processes to safeguard against these deceptive tactics.

Team Harris Reportedly Worrying Behind Closed Doors That $1 Billion War Chest Won’t Be Enough To Beat Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign is worried that her $1 billion war chest won’t be enough to win the upcoming November election, sources told The Washington Post Wednesday.

Harris’ campaign leadership is worried that the huge haul it acquired in the less than 80 days since the campaign began will not flip certain crucial swing states that are currently within the polling margin of error, sources familiar with Harris’ campaign strategy told The Washington Post. Despite the campaign outspending former President Donald Trump by significant margins, Republicans’ momentum in swing states seems to be increasing amid the deadlocked race.

“Talking about this type of big money doesn’t convey the sense of urgency to do every single thing in all of the big and small ways,” one person involved told The Washington Post. “We are in the margin of error. This will come down to grinding it out.”

Harris received a $126 million influx in only three days when President Joe Biden suspended his campaign in July, according to The Washington Post. Additionally, the campaign, along with other aligned groups, raised $361 million in August.

However, polling has remained too close to call between the two candidates. (Read more from “Team Harris Reportedly Worrying Behind Closed Doors That $1 Billion War Chest Won’t Be Enough To Beat Trump” HERE)
