Nobody Trusts Elections — That’s the Crisis

One of the most corrosive realities in contemporary American electoral politics isn’t polarization, misinformation, or even foreign interference. It is something more basic: a majority of Americans no longer trust the integrity of their elections.

This is not a fringe belief limited to one party or ideology. According to polling from Rasmussen Reports, ahead of the 2024 presidential election, 62 percent of likely voters were “concerned that cheating will affect the outcome of the 2024 election.”

This skepticism crosses party lines and has persisted over the years. The pattern is clear: whichever party loses a presidential election claims the winning party cheated.

Democrats insisted George W. Bush stole the 2000 election. Many believed he did so again in 2004.

The idea that Donald Trump colluded with Russia to “steal” the 2016 election became a conviction on the political left, supported for years by media, weaponized intelligence community lies, and congressional investigations.

Republicans, especially President Donald Trump, believe the 2020 election was compromised through mail-in ballots, procedural changes enacted without legislatures, ballot harvesting, delayed counting, and statistical anomalies that were never convincingly explained. And now, after 2024, many Democrats again claim that Trump cheated to regain the presidency.

This recurring cycle reveals an important point: the issue is no longer who wins, but whether Americans trust the legitimacy of the system itself. It’s not about any specific election, but about the electoral process as a whole.

Whether Donald Trump “probably” won in 2020 is a separate debate, one with strong feelings on both sides. But that debate isn’t the main point here. The real issue is that half the country sees every election loss as illegitimate, and nothing has been done to rebuild trust in the American election system.

Democracy cannot survive on blind faith alone. Trust must be earned through transparency, consistent rules, and procedures that make fraud difficult and detection easy.

Yet instead of reforming elections to restore public confidence, political leaders often respond to skepticism by dismissing it as dangerous, disloyal, or a “threat to democracy.”

That is backward. In a healthy republic, distrust in elections should lead to reform, not censorship, gaslighting, or moral condemnation.

Election procedures are important. Think about how American elections are now run. Voting can start weeks or even months before Election Day. Ballots are mailed en masse, harvested, cured, and counted long after polls close. 

In some jurisdictions, results may take days or weeks to be revealed.

Congressional races sometimes change multiple times as new batches of ballots are “discovered” or counted.

Eric Swalwell Eroticizes Violence Against Women in Disturbing Drunken College Sex Poem Inbox

After I filed a Petition for Writ of Mandate against the California Secretary of State, demanding that Eric Swalwell be removed from the California governor’s race, Swalwell attacked me on Twitter, calling me a “MAGA idiot”.

In my petition, I contended that because the California Constitution requires a candidate for governor to live in the state for 5 years prior to an election, that Swalwell does not qualify.

I cited the fact that Swalwell declared his Washington D.C. home as his principal residence on his Deed of Trust, while not having any address in California.

In fact, Swalwell used his attorney’s address on his personal candidate statement Form 501 when filing to run for governor in California, under penalty of perjury, stating that was his home address. Its all on my website: SwalwellIsDisqualified.com.

All Swalwell had to do on Twitter was say “Hey Joel, you are wrong, here’s my California home address”. But he didn’t have one, so he stooped to name calling.

Swalwell’s childish behavior inspired me to have a look at his college years, starting with his attendance at Campbell University, a private Christian, liberal arts university in Buies Creek, North Carolina for two years after graduating high school from 1999 to 2001.

Swalwell was a Government and History student and wrote for the student newspaper “The Campbell Times”.

Low and behold I discovered that Swalwell also contributed a disturbing violent sex poem to the annual literary magazine “The Lyricist”.

In the 2001 edition of “The Lyricist”, Eric Swalwell wrote a drunken violent erotic sex poem entitled “Hungover From Burgundy”.

The Contributor’s Notes page describes Eric Swalwell as “an active member off the Campbell University student body, a write for the Campbell Times, and is completing his third screenplay”.

Disney Sends Cease-and-Desist Letter to Chinese ByteDance To Stop Use of Copyrighted Characters in New Seedance 2.0 AI Video Generator

ByteDance reportedly is vowing to comply.

The release of the revolutionary Seedance 2.0 AI video generator has sent Hollywood into a frenzy, with the Motion Picture Association and several class organizations firing on all cylinders against the Chinese company ByteDance.

Now, Disney has gone one step further and sent a cease-and-desist letter to ByteDance, accusing it of ‘using Disney characters to train and power the AI generator without permission’.

Reuters reported:

“Disney said ByteDance had pre‑packaged Seedance with a pirated library of copyrighted characters from franchises including Star Wars and Marvel, portraying them as if they were public-domain clip art, the person said.

The letter alleges Seedance is reproducing, distributing and creating derivative works featuring Spider-Man, Darth Vader, and other characters, the person added.”

The Obama Administration’s Prostitution Scandal And The Ruemmler-Epstein Connection

Remember Obama’s 2012 Colombian prostitution scandal? Turns out, Jeffrey Epstein was involved…

Newly released Department of Justice documents from the Epstein files have exposed a previously unknown connection between a 2012 White House advance-team scandal in Cartagena, Colombia, and Kathryn Ruemmler – the former Obama White House counsel who later became Goldman Sachs’ top lawyer.

Ruemmler resigned from Goldman late last week, after the latest Epstein document dump revealed her extensive, affectionate, and years-long correspondence with the convicted sex offender. The emails show she called him “Uncle Jeffrey,” accepted expensive gifts, and turned to him for advice on sensitive legal and reputational matters – including how to respond to a 2014 Washington Post report that accused her of helping suppress evidence of prostitution involving a rich kid White House aide whose daddy was a huge Obama donor. 

The WaPo report, by all accounts, cost Ruemmler a job as Obama’s Attorney General. 

The 2012 Cartagena Prostitution Scandal

In April 2012, ahead of President Obama’s trip to the Summit of the Americas in Cartagena, Colombia, at least 20 Secret Service agents, military personnel, and others were involved in hiring prostitutes. The scandal led to multiple firings and disciplinary actions.

A lesser-known element involved Jonathan Dach, a 25-year-old Yale Law student and unpaid White House advance-team volunteer (son of prominent Democratic donor Leslie Dach). Hotel records obtained by investigators showed a prostitute was checked into Dach’s room at the Hilton Cartagena shortly after midnight on April 3, 2012.

Outrage After Florida Teachers Union Says Children Protesting ICE is ‘Required’

It is hard to see public education in America as anything more than indoctrination factories.  The latest efforts to push a far-left agenda are unfolding in anti-ICE rhetoric and demonstrations taking place at schools across the country, spurred on by teachers and administrators.

Now, remarks by Zander Moricz, Executive Director and Founder of the Social Equity and Education (SEE) Alliance at a February 2026 press conference hosted by the Florida Education Association (FEA), Zander Moricz, Executive Director and Founder of the Social Equity and Education (SEE) Alliance, are making headlines.

Moricz suggests that children protesting ICE is ‘required.’

Moricz stated, “Florida students are confronted with videos of ICE rates, of families being torn apart, and of Americans being murdered for using their constitutional rights. They respond. They organize, they speak out, and they do what American students have always done in moments of injustice.”

“They stand together and demand safety for their peers, their families, and themselves. And that response, while framed by some politicians as radical, is rather than reasonable.”

“It’s rational, and in a moment it is required.”

“To any students being told that they do not have the right to speak out or walk out on their campus, I want to be clear. This is the United States of America. You do not shed your First Amendment rights when you step foot through the school.”

Yehuda Meshi-Zahav, former ZAKA head, dies year after attempted suicide

Yehuda Meshi-Zahav, creator of ZAKA and alleged rapist, has died at the age of 62, a year after he attempted suicide and less than a month prior to his 63rd birthday.

One of the most well-known and colorful characters of Jerusalem’s ultra-Orthodox, anti-Zionist communities, Meshi-Zahav founded the famed medical search and rescue group, but his life was tainted by revelations of numerous allegations against him of rape, sexual assault and pedophilia.

Meshi-Zahav was an 11th generation Jerusalemite who, in his youth, headed the anti-Zionist demonstrations in the capital, and demonstrations against Sabbath violators, including throwing rocks at passing cars.

A grandson of Rabbi Yosef Scheinberger, the secretary of the Eida Hareidit Rabbinical Court, and with blood ties to the Rivlin family on his mother’s side, Meshi-Zahav was considered nobility in ultra-Orthodox circles.

He developed a special relationship with the police, despite being arrested several times after organizing anti-Zionist rallies.

Biden in Israel: You don’t need to be a Jew to be a Zionist

US President Joe Biden reaffirmed his Zionism and the strong ties between the US and Israel in his remarks upon landing in Israel on Wednesday.

“You need not be a Jew to be Zionist,” he said, repeating past comments to which Prime Minister Yair Lapid referred in his remarks at Ben-Gurion Airport.

The two-day visit to Israel is Biden’s 10th, but his first as president.

Remarking on his first trip to Israel in 1973, during which he met then-prime minister Golda Meir and Yitzhak Rabin, who later became prime minister, Biden said he had “the great honor of living part of the great history of this great country.”

“Every chance to return to this great country, where the ancient roots of the Jewish people date back to biblical times, is a blessing,” he said. “The connection between the Israeli people and the American people is bone deep, and generation after generation that connection grows. We invest in each other. We dream together.”

“The connection between the Israeli people and the American people is bone deep, and generation after generation that connection grows as we invest in each other and dream together.”Joe Biden

Biden spoke of the US and Israel partnering on “the most cutting-edge defense systems in the world,” shortly before he went to a presentation by the Defense Ministry that included an Iron Dome battery and the laser-based Iron Beam missile-defense system.

“I’ve Been Totally Exonerated… She Seriously Has Trump Derangement Syndrome” – Trump Responds to Hillary Clinton Saying the Clintons are Under Fire for Epstein Ties Only to “Divert Attention from Trump” 

President Trump on Monday responded to Hillary Clinton’s accusation that his administration is trying to hide his involvement with Epstein and using Hillary and Bill Clinton as a distraction. 

Trump told reporters, “I have nothing to hide. I’ve been exonerated. I have nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein.”

“They went in hoping that they’d find it and found just the opposite. I’ve been totally exonerated. In fact, Jeffrey Epstein was fighting that I don’t get elected with some author, the sleazebag, by the way,” Trump continued in reference to leftwing author Michael Wolff, who was revealed to have encouraged Jeffrey Epstein to blackmail then-presidential candidate Donald Trump during the 2016 election cycle.

It’s been revealed that Trump actually told law enforcement about Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes and thanked them for investigating him back in the early 2000s. Trump had also kicked Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago club in 2007.

But earlier on Monday, Clinton tried to say that her family’s ties to Epstein are only being brought up to cover up Trump’s ties to Epstein.

During an interview with the Trump-hating British Broadcasting Corporation, Clinton claimed that she and Bill Clinton have “no links” to Epstein. “We have a very clear record that we’ve been willing to talk about, which my husband has said, he took some rides on the airplane for his charitable work,” Clinton said.

She continued, “I don’t recall ever meeting him,” though she did admit to meeting Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.

She then accused the GOP of treating the Clintons unfairly after they refused to testify before the House Oversight Committee, leading to an attempt to hold the two in contempt of Congress before the Clintons finally agreed to sit for interviews.

“Why did they want to pull us into this? To divert attention from President Trump. This is not complicated,” she told the BBC’s Jess Parker.

Hillary Clinton Lied About Deportations Under Her Husband and Obama

Hillary Clinton was in Munich over the weekend, where she lied through her teeth about deportations under the presidencies of both her husband and Barack Obama. That’s what she does best, it seems, and she does it shamelessly.

“More people were deported under my husband and Barack Obama,” Clinton said, “without killing American citizens and without putting children into detention camps than were in the first Trump term or the first year of this second term.”

Of course, there weren’t “sanctuary cities” under Clinton and Obama. Blue cities cooperated with ICE. CNN even did ride-alongs with ICE and sang their praises.

But it was Obama who started the detention centers.

And put kids in cages.
