Democrats’ War On Election Integrity Exposes Their Dirty Secret

During last week’s contentious hearing of the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, Delaware Sen. Chris Coons asked then-Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, with great concern, “Will you rule out the deployment of ICE or CBP officers to polling places this November?”

The secretary’s answer was sharp and to the point. “Do you plan on illegal aliens voting in our elections?”

Once again, Democrats are saying the quiet part out loud. The people who have told us for years that illegal aliens never vote, and that voter fraud doesn’t exist, are terrified of anyone actually checking to see if that is true.

Sen. Coons’ fears are echoed by former Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, who said in a recent X post, “Senate Dems need to put into the approps bill a prohibition on ICE agents being near polling places. This is a must-have.”

And just days after achieving a trifecta in state government, Virginia Democrats introduced legislation to do exactly what Inslee said — never mind that it’s completely unconstitutional.

If you’re an American with a job and a family, you’re probably scratching your head and asking, why is it the “last chance?” What is the governor talking about? Why are Democrats keeping immigration officers away from polling places? Here is where it gets even stranger and more suspicious.

When President Obama was elected in 2008, many Democratic ruling class figures came to believe that they would inevitably win every election in the future, no matter what they did, because of changing demographics. That hypothesis has been thoroughly refuted by the unprecedented MAGA movement and even repudiated by its own authors.

Nevertheless, the idea swept the Democratic Party like a fever, and it largely explains its sprint to the far left ever since. It also explains the Biden-era policy of letting millions of illegal immigrants into the United States. The last generation of Democrats bet big on immigration, not persuasion or popular policy, winning them elections.

Democrats claim that illegal aliens don’t vote, yet when the Trump administration asks to check voter rolls, Democrats refuse. When the Trump administration asks to see who blue states give Medicaid to, they refuse. When the Trump administration tries to deport violent criminals here illegally, Democrats refuse. It is an unsettling pattern of behavior.

The urgency from Democrats spanning Washington, D.C. to Washington state is another sign that President Trump’s policies and executive enforcement of the law are working. Last year, we saw international immigration cut in half, a decline in the foreign-born population by nearly two million, and millions of prospective illegal aliens deciding simply not to come to America. It’s a reversal of the trend Democrats have come to rely on for electoral relevance.

Australia’s “eSafety” Commissioner Threatens App Stores Over AI Age Verification Deadline

Australia’s eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant is threatening to go after app stores and search engines unless they block AI services that haven’t verified their users’ ages by March 9, 2026.

The ultimatum landed after a Reuters took it upon itself to survey 50 leading text-based AI platforms, and found that 30 of them had taken no visible steps toward compliance with the country’s controversial censorship and surveillance ideas.

“eSafety will use the full range of our powers where there is non-compliance,” a spokesperson said, spelling out that this extends to “action in respect of gatekeeper services such as search engines and app stores that provide key points of access to particular services.”

What’s actually being built here is bigger than age verification. Five industry codes taking effect March 9 under Australia’s Online Safety Act 2021 impose age-gating requirements across a wide range of services: AI platforms, app distribution services, social media, gaming, dating apps, and any website deemed high-risk for pornography, extreme violence, or self-harm content.

Every category gets its own code. Each non-compliance carries fines of up to A$49.5 million (around US$35 million). The system isn’t aimed at one corner of the internet. It covers most of it.

The age verification requirement doesn’t stand alone. Under a separate amendment to the Online Safety Act passed last year, social media platforms must already ban users under 16 entirely.

The March 9 codes extend that logic further, requiring services to verify the identity of users and filter what they can see based on age. The infrastructure being assembled connects age to identity to content access across the internet as Australians currently use it.

This Might Be the Clearest Sign Yet the Obamas’ Marriage Is a Total Lie

Jesse Jackson’s funeral was held Friday at the House of Hope on Chicago’s South Side. Every major Democrat who still matters showed up: Joe Biden, Bill Clinton, Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, Jill Biden, California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

That’s right: sitting with a bunch of other couples, Barack Obama once again went stag. The Obamas themselves issued a joint statement about Jackson’s death that made Michelle’s absence on Friday all the more glaring. “Michelle got her first glimpse of political organizing at the Jacksons’ kitchen table when she was a teenager,” the statement read. “And in his two historic runs for president, he laid the foundation for my own campaign to the highest office of the land.” If there was ever a funeral Michelle had a personal, deeply rooted reason to attend, this was it.

So what’s the excuse this time?

Her absence at Jimmy Carter’s funeral in Dec. 2024 was bizarre enough. Her excuse was that she was “on vacation” in Hawaii. She skipped Trump’s second inauguration in Jan. 2025. Why? Her excuse was that she had nothing to wear. I’m not even joking.

I could see her refusing to go to the Trump inauguration in protest, but skipping Carter’s funeral? Well, I know she’s not a big fan of white people, so maybe that’s it. But skipping Jesse Jackson’s funeral raises huge red flags. It may be the most telling sign yet that the Obamas are married in name only.

The Obamas have been the subject of divorce rumors for a while now, and to say they’ve not handled them well is an understatement. They appeared on a podcast together, which looked painfully scripted, and of course, there’s the obligatory birthday, anniversary, Father’s Day, and Mother’s Day posts on social media. The choreographed podcast appearances and coordinated anniversary posts on social media prove nothing. Bill and Hillary Clinton have been photographed holding hands, too; no one believes they have a happy marriage.

Last June, Michelle said she was relieved she didn’t have a son, because he would have been “another Barack.” That’s not the kind of thing a happily married woman says in public.

The real tell is the explanation Michelle keeps offering. “One of the major decisions I made this year was to stay put and not attend funerals and inaugurations and all the things that I’m supposed to attend,” she told NPR last year. “That was a part of me using my ambition to say, ‘Let me define what I want to do, apart from what I’m supposed to do.'”

Fans Outraged by Massive Cost of Tickets for Lefty Bruce Springsteen’s ‘No Kings’ Tour

Trump hater Bruce Springsteen is doing a ‘No Kings’ tour this spring to celebrate his Trump Derangement Syndrome, but fans are quickly finding out that tickets for the shows come with a king sized price.

Springsteen has faced criticism over this same issue in the past. It doesn’t look like he has changed anything, despite the complaints.

At least rich liberals will be able to afford to see the shows, right?

The New York Post reports:

Springsteen fans outraged over pricey tickets for ‘No Kings’-themed tour; ‘a woke joke’

His “Glory Days” with some fans have passed him by.

Bruce Springsteen’s fans are furious over the legendary rocker’s astronomical ticket prices for his upcoming “Land of Hope and Dreams” tour, which critics argue are unaffordable for his “working class fanbase” and contradict his Man of the People image.

The woke New Jersey billionaire is pushing the anti-President Trump “No Kings” agenda in his advertising campaign for the 20-date tour with his E Street Band — but is ironically charging prices fit for royalty, at up to $3,000 a ticket.

“I couldn’t be more disappointed in the Boss … how do these outrageous ticket prices reflect the land of hopes and dreams? The hopes and dreams of poor people who can’t afford your tickets,” one outraged fan commented on Springsteen’s Instagram post announcing the tour.

“You are also catering to upper middle class and the rich. Isn’t that what we’re fighting?”

“No Kings tour, but priced for a king. What a dbag,” another pointed out.

Is anyone really surprised by this?

Brazilian healer John of God, promoted by Oprah Winfrey as an inspiring figure of spiritual miracles, sentenced to 118 years in prison for sexual rapes

João Teixeira de Faria, also known as John of God, self-proclaimed Brazilian medium and spiritual surgeon, has accumulated sentences exceeding 489 years in prison for systematic rapes and sexual abuses.

In September 2023, a Goiás court imposed an additional 118 years, six months, and 15 days on him for 17 cases of rape, rape by deception, and rape of vulnerable persons. He had already received 19 years and four months in December 2019 for four rapes, and in 2020 he added another 40 years for five additional cases.

The convictions are based on judicial evidence and testimonies that the courts considered credible. More than 600 women from Brazil and abroad, aged between 9 and 67 years, reported abuses committed between 1986 and 2017 at his center in Abadiânia.

Among them is his own daughter, Dalva Teixeira, who recounted abuses from the ages of 10 to 14 and a forced pregnancy that ended in abortion due to beatings.

The victims described an identical pattern: Faria would separate them during “private healing sessions,” turn off the lights, and sexually assault them under the excuse of transferring spiritual energy.

International media reported even more serious allegations of an alleged “baby farms” system: poor young women supposedly held and forced to gestate in order to sell newborns abroad.

David Copperfield Ends 25-Year Vegas Residency Over His Presence in the ‘Epstein Files – Documents Show FBI Probed His ‘Predilection for Minors’

No ‘Abracadabra’ can make this trouble disappear.

The ‘Epstein curse’ is like s stain that won’t go away, for some people. And in the case of magician David Copperfield, he hasn’t been able to ‘trick’ his way out of trouble.

Last Thursday (5), the entertainer announced that his 25-year residency on the Vegas strip in Sin City was coming to an end.

Los Angeles Magazine reported:

“Among the millions of documents in the Justice Department’s drop of the Epstein files was a slew of FBI memos that mention magician David Copperfield. In one, agents discussed whether Copperfield and his longtime friend Jeffrey Epstein ‘engaged in referring possible victims to each other’ and whether they ‘shared a predilection for minors’.

That memo was written in 2007, a year before the billionaire financier cut a sweetheart deal with Florida law enforcement on charges he had sex with underage females. But Copperfield’s name appears extensively in the Epstein files, referenced multiple times in FBI files until Epstein died in 2019 at the Metropolitan Detention Center.”

40 Charges DROPPED — Then She Was Murdered

Abdul Jalloh entered the United States illegally in 2012 from Sierra Leone and subsequently accumulated a staggering criminal record in Fairfax County. His charges included rape, multiple stabbings, assaults, malicious wounding, identity theft, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Despite this extensive criminal history spanning over a decade, Jalloh remained on the streets due to prosecutorial decisions that prioritized procedural excuses over public safety. In 2020, ICE lodged an immigration detainer and a judge issued a final removal order, yet local authorities failed to ensure his deportation, allowing him to continue victimizing the community.

Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano, who received backing from progressive financier George Soros, has faced mounting criticism for his office’s pattern of dropping serious charges against violent offenders. In Jalloh’s case, Descano’s office secured only one malicious wounding conviction while dismissing the overwhelming majority of charges, citing lack of victim participation at hearings. This excuse rings hollow to critics like Sean Kennedy of Virginians for Safe Communities, who pointed out that Descano managed to convict Jalloh once without victim input, proving such participation isn’t always necessary. Police Chief Kevin Davis defended his officers’ investigative work and indirectly held the prosecutor’s office accountable for the failures.

Trump’s Iran War Timeline Extends INDEFINITELY 

The U.S.-Iran conflict, launched as Operation Epic Fury, has seen its expected duration expand without a clear endpoint. 

President Trump’s recent statements indicate an open-ended commitment, diverging from earlier administration assurances of a swift resolution. 

This shift occurs as reports emerge of Iranian migrants gathering at Europe’s Channel coast, using the war to strengthen asylum claims despite questionable timelines of their journeys.

Initial estimates suggested a limited engagement, but that appears to have all changed within the space of less than one week.

Trump confirmed the indefinite nature, stating “I have no time limits on anything. I want to get it done.”

Brutal Numbers: Schools Spent $30 Billion on Laptops… and They Seem to Have Made Kids Dumber

Technological innovation doesn’t always yield good results.

Even as electronic devices are championed as the best means of learning for youth — with a massive price tag — we aren’t seeing dramatic improvements in students’ performance.

On Feb. 23, Techspot published an article citing the beginning of the tech takeover in the classroom under former Maine Democratic Gov. Angus King.

In 2002, King created a program to put Apple laptops in middle schoolers’ repertoire. By 2024, the federal government had used a staggering $30 billion to follow his state’s plan, getting tablets and laptops to students across the country.

This seemed like an obvious shift in the right direction on paper: The world is becoming more technological. Students will use these devices in the workplace, so why not familiarize them now?

But neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath laid out the adverse impacts of this decision to the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.

According to Horvath, Gen Z is the first cohort to see declining test scores compared to their predecessors. He found an inverse relationship between academic performance and time using digital devices.

“This is not a debate about rejecting technology,” he told lawmakers. “It is a question of aligning educational tools with how human learning actually works. Evidence indicates that indiscriminate digital expansion has weakened learning environments rather than strengthened them.”

Techspot cited studies showing 3,000 university students spent two-thirds of time on their school laptops engaging in material unrelated to classwork.

Fortune found that in 2017, test scores weren’t improving after King’s program.

A study published in OxJournal made a worrying conclusion regarding technology and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

The research “established an evident correlation between digital media use and the prevalence of ADHD in contemporary society. This applies for all age demographics, depending on the setting, such as being in school or in a workplace.”

“The earlier we immerse our children’s underdeveloped minds in digital media, offering them instant fulfillment, the higher the likelihood that an attention-deficit disorder will emerge as they mature,” the study continued.

“This inhibits individuals from focusing their selective attention on a particular task, as well as reduces their divided and sustained attention.”

A traditionally minded educator — or most conservatives — could have seen this coming.

UK Government Brands Union Flag A ‘TOOL OF HATE’ In Leaked ‘Social Cohesion’ Strategy

A leaked draft of the UK Government’s new ‘social cohesion’ strategy has sparked outrage by labeling the flying of English, Scottish, and Union Jack flags as potential “tools of hate.”

The document claims these national symbols were sometimes used last summer to “exclude or intimidate,” adding that the “extreme right has tried to turn symbols of pride into tools of hate.”

The 47-page draft, leaked to the Spectator magazine, also highlights how antisemitism has become “normalised in many corners of society” from schools and universities to workplaces and the NHS.

Under the proposals, titled Protecting What Matters, some £800 million over 10 years would be allocated to 40 areas where social cohesion is “under pressure.”

The strategy is set for a cross-Government rollout next week, but critics are already slamming it as divisive.

Reform UK’s deputy leader Richard Tice blasted the draft, telling the Sun: “Absurdly, this says our national flag is a tool of hate used to intimidate. The whole paper is a divisive nonsense that should be consigned to the bin.”

The leak ties directly into ongoing controversies over national flags, as detailed in our previous coverage where English councils admitted spending tens of thousands to remove “unauthorised” English and Union Jack flags from lampposts.
