Democrats Want Me In Jail For A Post Explaining Election Security

The Democrats’ leading practitioner of weaponizing the government to attack political opponents, Marc Elias, recently called for my prosecution because I wrote on X that President Trump should exercise existing federal authority to make sure that electronic voting machines are not hacked or compromised in the midterm elections.

I argued on X that those who are demanding that President Trump declare a national emergency regarding the voting machines are asking him to do something he’s already done. On May 15, 2019, he invoked the National Emergencies Act of 1976 as the basis for issuing Executive Order 13873. That order authorizes the commerce secretary, after consultation with other federal officials, to restrict certain information and communications technology and services (ICTS) transactions involving foreign adversaries, including China, when they pose specified national security risks. It aimed to eliminate or mitigate vulnerabilities in various categories of technology and U.S. critical infrastructure, which includes elections.

Since then, the U.S. Department of Commerce developed and promulgated regulations implementing the order, which became effective in February 2024.

Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick has authority under ICTS regulations to require mitigation of threats to critical infrastructure. Elections are “critical infrastructure” thanks to President Obama and his secretary of Homeland Security in 2017. Because all electronic voting systems used in America’s elections are made in whole or in part in China, the ICTS regulations most certainly apply to voting machines.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, in an Aug. 24 letter to the White House, specifically noted the urgent need to mitigate threats to America’s elections infrastructure. That action, along with statements from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and President Trump’s primetime speech on election security in July 2026, provide all the necessary conditions for Commerce Secretary Lutnick to take action.

Ugandan serial cannibal butchered, ate 38 people over 15-year reign of terror, general claims

Soldiers in Uganda caught an alleged serial killer cannibal who is accused of killing and eating 38 people over his savage 15-year spree, authorities said.

Mujurizi Moses is the “worst serial killer and cannibal in Uganda’s history” who devoured body parts of dozens of victims victims between 2010 and 2025, the country’s defense chief General Muhoozi Kainerugaba alleged on Monday.

The machete-wielding maniac is accused of slaughtering a pastor and his family, a witchdoctor, eight of his own relatives, and an elderly woman hacked to death in front of her two grandchildren, according to the Daily Monitor, a Ugandan outlet.

Mujurizi — who police believe was also working as a contract killer — would allegedly break through the walls of family homes, butcher everyone inside, and eat their body parts, the outlet said.

He also allegedly lured women into romantic relationships before slaughtering them, according to local reports.

“We will try him in public, and definitely execute him,” Muhoozi wrote on X.

Mujurizi may have killed even more people.

New York Bans Artificial Intelligence Features for Children

New York’s governor has signed a law that bans artificial intelligence (AI) operators from offering certain chatbot features to minors.

Prohibited features include responses that suggest the chatbot is “a real or fictional individual or character that is human, alive, or experiences human emotions.” Responses that engage in flattery or sycophancy, endorse suicide and drug use, and encourage isolation from adults are also barred.

“No longer will minors have access to chatbots that pretend to be their friends and boyfriends and girlfriends,” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said at a signing ceremony on Oct. 28.

“No longer will chatbots be allowed to keep sensitive information about a minor’s emotional and physical health. No longer will chatbots discourage kids from seeking help from licensed professionals. And I’m not sure why we have to pass a law against something so obvious, but no longer will minors have access to chatbots that may in any way encourage thoughts of suicide.”

The law authorizes New York’s attorney general to sue in response to indications of violations and seek relief, including money from the chatbot operators and the destruction of illegally obtained data.

“We will not hesitate to defend New Yorkers with the full force of the law,” New York Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement.

New York legislators approved the bill earlier this year, and it takes effect on Jan. 1, 2027.

“For everyone wondering whether the public can have any say in determining how AI impacts us, New York again has an answer: Absolutely,” Assemblyman Alex Bores, a Democrat who voted for the legislation, said in a statement.

Common Sense Media, a nonprofit that supports restrictions on AI, was among the groups praising the legislation.

Iran, the Midterms, and the Myth of Government by the People

With the Israeli election this week and America’s midterms next Tuesday, President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have reportedly spent weeks debating not whether to restart their war with Iran, but when they should do it.

Netanyahu reportedly wanted to renew the bombing before Israeli or American voters went to the polls. He has officially denied that, but it fits his well-documented strategy of using an ongoing war to shield himself from political and legal accountability.

Trump, meanwhile, has publicly ruled out another US attack until after November 3. But, according to several recent reports, the two governments are genuinely preparing for another major round of strikes once the American election is over.

Already, this episode has made the narrative put forward by both leaders even more ridiculous. After all, if renewed attacks on Iran are as necessary to protect the American people, as both have claimed, why would that necessity depend on whether those people have already voted?

The truth is, as I laid out here earlier this year, that the war on Iran is not a drastic but necessary measure to thwart an imminent threat from a rogue regime. It’s just another military action, on top of all the others our government is carrying out, that is beneficial for a coalition of unique, well-connected interest groups—from the Israeli politicians who want to direct American power towards weakening their main regional rival to the domestic weapons companies getting paid to restock America’s dwindling munitions stockpiles.

The narrative that Iran is months or even weeks away from starting a nuclear war with two far more heavily-armed nuclear powers; that they are not just willing but are actively trying as hard as they can to sacrifice their entire country to take out a few Israeli and American cities; and that this will be carried out with weapons and weapons-delivery technology that they do not possess and are not close to getting is obviously not the truth. But it is the most effective way the pro-war coalition has discovered so far for getting a sufficient portion of the public to at least passively accept a war they all want for reasons they’re not as willing to publicize.

That effectiveness, however, has clearly waned in recent months. Today, around two-thirds of Americans disapprove of Trump’s Iran policy, with widespread concerns growing about the impact on energy prices and all the terrible consequences that brings. This is a deeply unpopular war. And yet, it is set not only to continue but to escalate in the coming weeks.

This also highlights another, even more important aspect of this story that is getting far less attention than the war’s unpopularity: the sheer inadequacy of democratic elections as constraints on political power.

According to the standard narrative that most of us are taught growing up, for most of human history people have suffered under kings, oligarchs, and rulers of all kinds who used political power selfishly. Wealth and power were concentrated in the hands of a small sliver of society, while everyone else was forced to live in either literal servitude or material conditions no better than servitude. However, this was supposed to have changed with the invention of democracy.

Florida governor candidate David Jolly suggests boys have a constitutional right to play on girls’ sports teams

David Jolly, a former Republican congressman who is now running as a Democrat against U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds to replace Ron DeSantis as Florida governor, is raising eyebrows in the Sunshine State with his suggestion that boys have a constitutional right to play on girls’ sports teams.

His comments came during the “To the Contrary” podcast Charlie Sykes last year, and were unearthed Wednesday by Libs of TikTok.

Sykes had asked Jolly outright: “How do you navigate that issue?”

“I fundamentally think it’s an issue for the courts,” the Democrat replied. “And I don’t think one rule should apply to everything.”

“I think some latitude among the sports leagues to make decisions, but ultimately, it’s a constitutional question that the courts are gonna have to decide.”

Jolly continued: “I think where I fundamentally diverge from Republicans on this issue is you can immediately see where leaders and voters are either working in good faith towards equity or in bad faith against it. This is a new and novel moment for us as a country.

“It’s OK to wrestle with it. But you’re either wrestling to resolve it on behalf of all Americans, their fundamental and constitutional rights, their respect and their dignity, or you’re working to humiliate them. And I think it’s pretty disgusting what we’ve seen from Republicans in the past several years on this.

“I don’t think we need to knock down that youth soccer player who is working with their family and their doctor on whatever their current crisis is personally. I think it can be supportive of them to allow them to play in youth sports.

“If it’s a question of Olympic trials, obviously I think you get too far down the road there saying, Maybe it’s a bridge too far to let trains athletes in certain sports, but let’s leave it to the sports leagues.”

Donalds is a staunch opponent of biological males competing in girls’ or women’s sports, and his campaign posted video Wednesday of the Republican blasting Jolly’s stance.

“My opponent’s somebody who says it’s OK for boys to be in girls’ sports. It’s just him and the WNBA,” Donalds said.

“They’re the only two that think this is OK. Everybody else has said, ‘No, that’s actually quite stupid.’ Even the Europeans are realizing that’s dumb. But this is where the radical Democrats have gone in America today, and it’s sad to see.”

Germany’s Political Justice? AfD Lawmaker Convicted Over Innocent Family Protection Poster

Imagine running for office on a promise to protect families — and ending up with a criminal record because of a photograph of parents shielding their children.

That is what happened to Wilko Möller, a lawmaker from Germany’s right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.

His alleged offense? Distributing a campaign poster featuring a mother and father forming a protective roof with their arms over three children.

The slogan read: “We Protect Your Children.”

German prosecutors argued that the father’s raised right arm looked like a Nazi salute.

Now, Germany’s highest criminal court has upheld Möller’s conviction.

The price: €11,600 and a criminal record.

A Family Photo Becomes a Criminal Offense

The controversy began during the 2024 state election campaign in Brandenburg, eastern Germany.

Möller’s campaign used a commercially available stock photograph showing two adults protecting three children beneath their raised arms.

The image was digitally mirrored by the advertising agency preparing the poster.

That detail became central to the prosecution.

In the original photograph, the man raised his left arm. After the image was reversed, he appeared to raise his right arm.

Under German law, the Nazi salute is prohibited. The ban also covers gestures deemed confusingly similar to it.

Prosecutors argued that the mirrored photograph crossed that legal boundary.

The Regional Court in Frankfurt (Oder) agreed.

Carney calls the Indian Act racist in French, then backs away from scrapping it in English

On Tuesday’s live stream, Sheila Gunn Reid and Lise Merle discussed Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew’s call to abolish the Indian Act and Prime Minister Mark Carney’s shifting answer on whether Ottawa will do it.

Kinew raised the issue on Monday at a meeting in Ottawa of first ministers and First Nations leaders. He held up his own status card, which identifies him as “an Indian within the meaning of the Indian Act.”

“I’m not sure if that lines up with your vision of Canada, that we still have a race-based form of identification in this country, but this is a reality,” Kinew said. “I think it’s time to abolish the Indian Act, get rid of the Indian Act, move past the Indian Act.”

He said the change “needs to be done with First Nations people and First Nations governments,” and that his proposal got an “open-minded reception” from other leaders in the closed-door meeting.

The Indian Act, first passed in 1876, still governs who has Indian status, how reserve land is managed and how band governments operate. Reserve land is held by the Crown for the use of the band, so most First Nations people living on reserve cannot own their homes or land outright.

On Monday, Carney said he was “very open to” abolishing or modernizing the Act, CFJC reported. Speaking in French, he called it a racist law, according to The Globe and Mail.

On Tuesday, a reporter noted that critics say the government “consults to death” and asked Carney why he was comfortable saying he wanted to abolish the Act without consulting First Nations communities. “That is exactly what I did not say,” Carney replied.

He said the issues are “deep, complex, sensitive” and that any reform, including potential abolition, would need a “co-developed” process, which the federal government is open to. “That’s very different than saying, I, we are going to do X. We are not saying that at all,” he said.

Previous attempts to scrap the Act have failed. Pierre Trudeau’s government proposed abolishing it in its 1969 White Paper, then withdrew the plan after strong opposition from First Nations leaders.

The longest continuous temperature record proves CO2 does not drive climate change

If rising atmospheric carbon dioxide is the primary driver of recent warming, we should expect relatively uniform warming across the months of the year. Carbon dioxide is a well-mixed gas; its radiative effect does not change strongly from one month to the next. The world’s longest continuous instrumental temperature record tells a different story.

The Data and The Method

The Central England Temperature (“CET”) series, maintained by the UK Met Office, runs from 1659 to the present and is the longest continuous instrumental temperature record available. For each calendar month, I calculated the linear trend over two periods – 1659–2025 and 1850–2025 – and expressed the result as degrees Celsius (°C) per century. This produces twelve independent rates of change that can be compared directly. Because the same month is compared with itself across centuries, many of the practical difficulties that affect long temperature series (instrument changes, site moves, time-of-observation bias) are held constant.

Full record: 1659–2025

When the monthly rates of change are plotted for the entire 365-year period, a clear pattern appears. March is one of the strongest warming months, roughly 0.45–0.5°C per century. June shows the weakest, around 0.05°C per century – more than eight times slower. Winter months (December–February) and October also warm relatively quickly; late spring and early summer warm far more slowly.

Hasan Piker Files $72.5 Million Lawsuit Against CNN’s Scott Jennings for Allegedly Portraying Him as Calling for Lynching Black Americans

Far-left Twitch streamer Hasan Piker filed a $72.5 million defamation lawsuit against CNN commentator Scott Jennings in federal court on Tuesday, accusing the pundit of airing a manipulated video and falsely portraying him as advocating the lynching of Black Americans.

The 38-page complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, centers on an August 11 episode of Salem Media’s The Scott Jennings Show and social media posts with clips.

Jennings played an edited clip of Piker and told listeners that the streamer was “out there calling for Black voters to be lynched” and referenced “the Piker plan of returning our country to lynchings.”

In another post, he wrote that Abdul El-Sayed’s “best pal and campaign partner says the USA should resume lynchings against black people.”

Piker is seeking at least $27.5 million in compensatory damages, $45 million in punitive damages, and a jury trial.

The footage comes from a 2024 livestream, during which Piker reacted to a debate between two Black political commentators on criminal justice policy.

According to the complaint, Piker was sarcastically mocking a conservative participant who had criticized progressive prosecutors and “woke DAs.”

Laughing, Piker said something to the effect of “He said, ‘We need more Klansmen, okay? Can we go back to a better time when lynchings were happening? This is what I like as a Black man. Also, there’s no real racism in America.’”

The lawsuit alleges that the version Jennings aired was a roughly 42-second compilation drawn from multiple streams, cropped and rearranged to omit the words “He said” and the surrounding sarcasm that made clear Piker was attributing the remarks to someone else rather than endorsing them.

Jennings then added a caption presenting the line as a direct quote from Piker: “LET’S GO BACK TO A BETTER TIME WHEN LYNCHINGS WERE HAPPENING.”

The complaint states that Jennings “did not merely mischaracterize something Mr. Piker said. He took a false, fabricated, and manipulated video of Mr. Piker, added a made-up quotation that Mr. Piker never uttered, and then made accusations that went beyond even what the manipulated footage purported to show.”

Piker’s attorneys argue that the statements were presented as factual assertions about what he said rather than rhetorical commentary, and that Jennings ignored a prior request for a retraction.

The suit alleges defamation per se, defamation by implication, and false light, arguing that the accusations damaged Piker’s reputation, threatened his streaming income and sponsorships, and caused emotional distress.

As of Tuesday evening, Jennings had not publicly responded to the lawsuit. He had also not deleted the posts.

Not again! Another senior cop in the GTA charged with serious criminal offences

Not again. Yes, again!

Another senior police officer in the Greater Toronto Area has been criminally charged with several serious offences. The charges include:

  • possessing property obtained by crime
  • possessing for the purpose of trafficking
  • breach of trust
  • breach of trust in accessing data
  • unauthorized use of a computer
  • possessing a counterfeit stamp
  • AND attempting to obstruct justice

Sgt. Kin Pong Wong, 44, who recently worked as a front-line patrol sergeant for the York Regional Police Service, was arrested on Oct. 23. His arrest followed an investigation by both York and Peel Regional Police.

In a news release, York Regional Police noted that Wong has been employed with the force since 2009 and that he has since been suspended with pay. (Isn’t that another descriptor for “paid vacation”? But we digress…)

Granted, Peel Police are assisting this investigation into a York copper. But given the torrent of police corruption stories of late, is anyone 100 per cent satisfied that this investigation will be fair and square? At the end of the day, this is yet again another story of police investigating other police. Isn’t this an inherent conflict of interest from the get-go?

Rebel News recently dropped by York Regional Police headquarters in Aurora, Ont., looking for answers. For starters, we experienced a feeling of déjà vu. The last time we visited headquarters was back in February, regarding the Project South investigation. This was the shocking investigation in which several members of the Toronto Police Service were charged with serious crimes ranging from bribery and drug trafficking to extortion and even conspiracy to commit murder. (Police told CP24 the charges against Wong are not related to Project South.)

Both the York and Toronto brass hosted the presser, and Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw reiterated that moving forward the cops would be committed to “transparency” and “accountability” to restore public trust.

Really?

Because when cameraman Lincoln Jay and I showed up to attend the presser, we were denied entry. We were even threatened with arrest for filming OUTSIDE police headquarters!

For starters, does that seem “transparent” and “accountable” to you? Apparently, only members of the government-funded media were allowed to attend.

Secondly, this “law” that we were allegedly breaking by filming outside a police station? There is no such law. It’s just a bogus rule that the cops use to intimidate people, and it’s completely unenforceable. So again, we must ponder: where’s the “transparency”? Where’s the “accountability”?

At the end of the day, the Wong matter boils down to yet another disturbing story of a police officer allegedly breaking the law, resulting in police policing police. And so it is that we must yet again defer to our favourite Latin phrase: Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Translation: Who guards the guardians?
