Kamala Campaign Insider Suggests Trump is Colluding with Putin and Israel |

She denies being a conspiracy theorist, claiming her questions are based on media reports and historical precedents.

He suggested Harris might refrain from imposing sanctions on Russia, unlike former President Donald Trump.
Putin emphasized that the choice ultimately belongs to the American people and that Russia will respect that choice.

DOJ Election Threat Task Force Has Received Thousands of Reports, Made 20 Arrests
|
The Department of Justice's task force, formed in 2021 to combat threats against election workers, has only brought 20 cases out of over 2,000 reported threats.
Election officials and advocates have criticized the task force for lack of transparency, slow progress, and insufficient action to deter threats ahead of the November 2024 election.
Of the more than 2,000 threats referred to the FBI, only 100 investigations were opened, resulting in 20 charges and 15 convictions.
Many threats are protected by the First Amendment, making prosecution challenging and requiring a high burden of proof.
Election workers report feeling unsupported and disillusioned, with nearly 40% experiencing threats, harassment, or abuse as of May 2024. Read More. |
Biden Admin Reignites Russian Interference Claims Ahead of 2024 Election
|
The Biden administration has accused Russia of election interference, alleging a campaign called "Doppelganger" targeting Americans through social media and influencers.
The Department of Justice is charging two Russian-based employees of RT with conspiracy related to money laundering and violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
The alleged operation had a budget of around $10 million but appeared to have limited impact, with one cited Twitter account having only seven followers.
These accusations come two months before the presidential election and shortly after Mark Zuckerberg expressed regret over censoring social media posts at the Biden administration's request.
Critics draw parallels to similar claims made during previous election cycles, particularly the 2016 election, and question the timing and credibility of these new allegations.
The FBI states that the operation involved using AI to spread disinformation and create websites to trick Americans into consuming Russian propaganda. Read More. |
Barack Obama's Brother Says He's Voting for Trump |
Malik Obama, half-brother of former President Barack Obama, announced he will vote for Donald Trump in the 2024 election.
This continues Malik's pattern of supporting Trump, having backed him in both the 2016 and 2020 elections.
Malik, a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Kenya, was Barack Obama's best man at his 1992 wedding.
The brothers have had a falling out, with Malik calling Barack a "deep disappointment" and criticizing his presidency.
Malik's support for Trump is based on his socially conservative views and his belief that Trump "speaks from the heart." Read More. |
Trump Embraces Elon's Government Efficiency Commission Proposal
|
Former President Donald Trump has committed to creating a government efficiency commission, an idea proposed by Elon Musk.
Trump suggested Musk could chair the panel, which would conduct a financial and performance audit of the federal government.
The commitment was made during Trump's speech at the Economic Club of New York on Thursday.
Trump contrasted his economic plans with those of Vice President Kamala Harris, criticizing her proposed tax increases.
The former president outlined plans to decrease corporate tax rates for domestic manufacturers and increase tariffs on foreign goods. Read More. |
X Scores First Amendment Victory with Appeals Court Blocking California Censorship Law |
Elon Musk's X won a legal victory against California's content moderation law in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The court overturned a lower court's decision, ruling that X is likely to succeed in showing the law violates the First Amendment.
The California law requires social media companies to report their protocols for combating harassment, disinformation, hate speech, and extremism.
X Corp. originally sued California in September 2023, challenging the law on First Amendment grounds.
This victory for X comes after recent challenges in other countries, including a ban in Brazil.
The California Attorney General's office is reviewing the opinion and plans to respond in court. Read More. |
Previously Deported Illegal Immigrant Charged with Chaining Children to Bed |
Franklin Viera Guevara, a Salvadoran migrant, and Wedni Del Cid were arrested in Fairfax County, Virginia, for allegedly chaining two young boys to a bed.
The boys, ages 7 and 9, were discovered after one of them sent a photo to his sister, who then called 911.
Viera Guevara was previously deported during the Trump administration in 2018 but re-entered the U.S. at an unknown date and location.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has placed an immigration hold on Viera Guevara.
Both suspects are charged with child neglect, child cruelty, and abduction.
Del Cid was released on bond, while Viera Guevara is being held without bond. Read More.

NATO Hits a Crossroad as Turkey Becomes First Member to Apply for BRICS Membership |
Turkey has submitted an application to join the BRICS alliance, becoming the first NATO member to do so.
This move reflects Turkey's dissatisfaction with prolonged EU membership negotiations and its desire to strengthen relations with non-Western powers.
Turkish President Erdogan aims to establish a more independent foreign policy, positioning Turkey as a mediator between East and West.
The BRICS alliance, which includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, is seen as a rival to the US-led G7 nations.
Turkey's decision is viewed as a strategy to enhance relations with non-Western powers as U.S. global influence wanes.
The BRICS alliance is set to discuss new memberships next month, with 126 nations considering abandoning the U.S. dollar. Read More. |
Liz Cheney, much like a bad rash, will not go away.
Cheney is a cynical sellout, and the people are aware of it. They’re tired of hearing from her, but she still won’t go away.
She routinely betrayed her constituents by siding with Democrats and leading the charge on the bogus J6 House committee. For this, she was rightfully tossed out of her seat.
Yet, for some reason, she still thinks people care about what she has to say.
After all, she just endorsed Kamala Harris as president. She wouldn’t have done this if she didn’t think people cared about what she had to say.
But they don’t. She has no influence.
Who does Liz Cheney serve? Who is her audience?
The answer to both of these questions is simple: the Democrats.
There is no constituency of American conservatives sitting at home wringing their fingers, waiting for Cheney to come save the day.
She solely exists as a permanent feature of the Democrats’ media apparatus.
She pops into MSNBC from time to time to chastise “MAGA Republicans” and echo the talking points of the DC blob.
Like most other establishment Republicans, she hates conservative voters and thumbs her nose at them every chance she gets.
Her existence in the political landscape, however, points to a larger issue with the Republican Party.
It is filled with beautiful losers. The median elected Republican would rather stand athwart history yelling, “I’m one of the good ones,” than do anything to reverse the nation’s decay.
Cheney herself has no influence, but her archetype is legion. They fly under the radar until it becomes personally profitable for them to mask off and sell out.
