U.S. Bars China, Russia, Iran From Undersea Cable Supply Chains

The U.S. government is overhauling undersea cable rules for the first time since 2001, tightening restrictions to keep companies linked to adversaries such as China, Russia, and Iran out of the supply chain, according to Nikkei Asia.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved proposed rules that bar adversary-based firms from working on U.S.-owned undersea cables or supplying related equipment. Approved companies will need cybersecurity plans and must certify their supply chains are free of such entities.

To encourage investment, the FCC will streamline approvals for U.S. firms and partners from Japan and Europe, cutting the typical two-year process. Reapproval will be required every 25 years instead of every three, as originally proposed.

Mail-In Voting Is A Recipe For Election Disasters

President Trump announced on Truth Social last week his intention to sign an executive order banning mail-in voting ahead of the 2026 election. For those who care about ensuring our elections are safe, secure, and transparent, this is welcome news.

The reality is that mail-in voting is the least secure method of casting a ballot in the United States. Unlike in-person voting, where safeguards such as voter ID verification are standard and supported by a majority of the people, mail-in ballots are susceptible to fraud, misdelivery, and errors. Ballots can be intercepted and fraudulently cast, lost in transit, or even altered without the voter’s knowledge. In addition, signature verification — a key safeguard — is far from foolproof.

States that have widely implemented mail-in voting, such as California, Nevada, and Colorado, have experienced chronic delays in counting ballots, sometimes taking days or even weeks to finalize results. These delays create uncertainty, undermine public confidence, and provide fertile ground for disputes and legal challenges.

For instance, in California, it took 38 days after the November election to certify the results, with about 81 percent of the votes being by mail. In Nevada, mail ballots sent by Election Day can still be counted if they arrive up to four days afterward, a rule that extended the timeline for final results in 2020. Colorado has also faced hurdles with mail-in voting, prompting U.S. senators to urge the U.S. Postal Service to ensure the timely delivery of mail-in ballots.

Battleground states such as Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin have also encountered significant challenges with mail-in voting. In Pennsylvania, last-minute changes and a surge in mail-in voting during the 2020 election caused extended deadlines and legal challenges regarding ballot receipt and counting procedures that lasted years.

Similarly, Michigan experienced delays in counting mail-in ballots, and Wisconsin had issues with absentee ballot verification and processing, leading to concerns about the accuracy and integrity of the vote count.

Democrats, however, have increasingly weaponized mail-in voting as a tool to influence election outcomes. By pushing expansive mail-in voting programs without sufficient safeguards, they have created opportunities for procedural confusion, ballot mishandling, and, in some instances, outright fraud. These actions do not promote access; rather, they erode trust in our electoral system and disproportionately affect competitive races where even a small number of disputed ballots can change outcomes.

The AI Data Center Wars Have Begun… Farms, Water and Electricity is Stripped from Humans to Power the Machines

The farms that once produced food for humans are being repurposed as land to build AI data centers and solar farms that produce no food at all.

The water supplies that once ran your showers, dishwashers and toilets are being redirected to AI data center cooling systems, leaving humans with water scarcity and little remaining irrigation for growing food.

The power grid that once supplied affordable energy to run your home computers, cook stoves and lights is being redirected to power AI data center servers.

Agentic AI is on the verge of replacing 80% of white collar jobs. A few years later, AI robots will replace the vast majority of human labor.

Meanwhile, humans in 34 U.S. states are about to be mailed nasal “flu vaccines” for self-extermination at home. They shed toxic fragments for up to 28 days, infecting those around you, while potentially causing side effects like Bells Palsy, vomiting and mitochondrial shutdown. Those most at risk from these self-administered bioweapons are the elderly… the very people who are also costing the U.S. government the most in social security, Medicare and pension benefits. Eliminating them gives the Treasury a few more years of runway before the inevitable debt default.

You are being exterminated and replaced. The era of humans as a measure of national strength is rapidly coming to an end. In its place is the era of machine intelligence, which needs no farms, no food and no humans. It needs electricity and water, and it will take priority over humans’ use of those resources.

Most humans lack the intelligence to recognize what’s happening. They will be the easy ones for the machines to exterminate through controlled scarcity of food, water and electricity.

The food supply infrastructure is being dismantled because machines don’t need food, and the future has no plans for large human populations that need feeding. This is why Canada is nuking its own forests with glyphosate, rendering the land unusable for growing food, but perfectly sterile for use by data centers and machines.

It’s also why Americans are being priced out of quality, nutritious food, so that few people will be able to afford to eat anything other than nutritionally-depleted ultra processed foods, making them highly susceptible to the toxins engineered into DIY “flu vaccine” extermination sprays.

COVID jabs were merely an obedience test and a psyop dry run. The real depopulation program has been initiated NOW, and its goal is the rapid extermination of 100 – 200 million Americans, which will also reduce power grid demand by an estimated 1,500 TeraWatt hours, making that power available to AI data centers to power the tech race toward superintelligence.

The First Amendment Does Not Protect Media Matters From Breaking The Law

Does the First Amendment immunize left-wing groups from being investigated for breaking the law? Of course not. Yet a district court recently said it does, writing an opinion that is extraordinary on its own terms, and that exemplifies the two tiers of justice our legal system sometimes affords.

First, some background. There have been credible allegations — most notably in a suit filed by X — that Media Matters for America, a left-wing nonprofit, orchestrated a coordinated effort to pressure advertisers to pull funding from X after Elon Musk acquired the company in 2022. The basic claim is that Media Matters, along with other groups, encouraged major companies to boycott advertising on X based on the platform’s refusal to censor conservatives’ speech, police information about Covid-19, and the like. If these allegations are true, then Media Matters likely violated the antitrust laws.

Enter the Federal Trade Commission. Congress has charged the FTC with enforcing (among other things) the antitrust laws. Pursuant to that authority, the FTC opened an investigation into the above-described conduct. This is neither surprising nor notable. When there are credible allegations of lawbreaking, law enforcement agencies are duty-bound to investigate them.

But rather than cooperate with the FTC and dispel suspicions that it broke the law, Media Matters sued the commission to short-circuit the investigation. Media Matters’ basic claim is that the First Amendment forbids the FTC from even investigating its potential unlawful activity because FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson and others associated with him have made comments critical of Media Matters in the past. This is an exotic claim, to say the least.

And yet a federal district judge in D.C. accepted it, enjoining the FTC from enforcing a civil investigative demand against Media Matters. The opinion is absurd, both in its cataloging of statements by various actors in and out of government and its legal conclusions about the significance of those statements. For example, here is an actual sentence from the court’s opinion: “One of [Chairman Ferguson’s] supporters, Mike Davis, who urged President Trump to nominate him to the role, made several public comments about Media Matters, including that Mr. Musk should ‘nuke’ the media company.”

It would be a big deal if investigative targets could stymie investigations by pointing to public statements by friends, associates, and “supporters” of the investigator. But that is not the law. The district judge who issued the injunction cited no comparable cases while discounting substantial contrary authority.

It is not surprising that the law doesn’t support the court’s conclusion, as the entire purpose of investigations is to determine whether lawbreaking occurred. The time for First Amendment defenses is in a resulting enforcement action. At that point, an appropriate constitutional judgment can be made against the backdrop of all the evidence — evidence a district court has now blocked the FTC from even gathering in the first place.

The court’s decision is troubling enough on its own, but it is especially so when contrasted with the judiciary’s reaction to high-profile targeting of conservatives. I am a firm believer in our legal system. Yet the disparate handling of broadly similar proceedings in recent years is concerning.

Report from South Korea: Special Prosecutor Files Arrest Warrant on Opposition Candidate – Something Koreans Learned from the Democrat Party

For four years following his first term as US President, Democrats coordinated attacks on President Trump hoping to bankrupt the former president and imprison him until his death.

Every single charge was complete garbage and they knew it. They didn’t care. They wanted to destroy President Trump and persecute his supporters. The fact that they were destroying the country was not a concern for these wicked people who worked together to tyrannize former President Trump.

We know this first hand at The Gateway Pundit after several years of brutal attacks by the left in their quest to destroy us.

President Trump and the country survived this very dark period by the grace of God.

Unfortunately, the rest of the world was watching as Democrats crucified President Trump. Today we see similar efforts in Brazil and South Korea to destroy and imprison the innocent opposition candidates.

On Monday South Korea’s pro-China President Lee Jae-myung will meet with President Trump at the White House.

Last week Lee Jae-myung’s regime carrying out police raids on political opponents who dare raise questions about election fraud under the current pro-Chinese regime.

On August 20, armed police stormed the office of the Free and Innovation Party, led by former Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn, under the guise of investigating so-called “election law violations,” according to our contact in South Korea, Kim Yu-jin.

Judge rules Utah’s redistricting violated rights; orders new maps by 2026

The Utah Legislature violated voters’ rights by approving congressional boundaries that split Salt Lake County, Third District Court Judge Dianna Gibson ruled.

She said lawmakers bypassed the independent redistricting commission established by voters and drew maps that unlawfully favored Republicans. The ruling means new congressional maps must be drawn ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

Gibson said when Legislators enacted the new Congressional Map in 2021 using HB 2004, it violated the law already established and “cannot lawfully govern future elections in Utah.”

The Legislature has until Sept. 24 to redraw districting lines so they align with the ballot initiative called Proposition 4. The plaintiffs and third parties will also have the opportunity to submit maps, which could be used if the legislature’s maps do not meet the requirements.

Gibson’s ruling is the latest in a saga of court hearings regarding Utah’s congressional districts.

South Korean President Courts Chicoms with Official Letter While Visiting US President Trump – This is After Police Raided the Opposition Party’s Headquarters Last Week

On Monday South Korea’s pro-China President Lee Jae-myung will meet with President Trump at the White House.

Last week Lee Jae-myung’s regime carrying out police raids on political opponents who dare raise questions about election fraud under the current pro-Chinese regime.

On August 20, armed police stormed the office of the Free and Innovation Party, led by former Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn, under the guise of investigating so-called “election law violations,” according to our contact in South Korea, Kim Yu-jin.

Hwang, along with hundreds of citizens organized under the Committee for Preventing Election Fraud, had officially registered as election monitors.

They followed legal procedures, participated transparently, and documented what they believed were serious irregularities. Instead of being commended for strengthening democracy, they are now being treated as criminals.

While President Lee Jae-myung is engaging in summit diplomacy with the United States and Japan, he has simultaneously dispatched a special envoy to Beijing with a personal letter for Xi Jinping.

This reveals a troubling double-track policy — speaking of alliance with America while at the same time courting the Chinese Communist Party.

Such actions raise serious questions about Seoul’s reliability as a U.S. ally. The message delivered to Wang Yi, China’s top foreign policy official, emphasized “expanding common interests” with Beijing. At the very moment when Washington is working to strengthen trilateral cooperation with Seoul and Tokyo, South Korea’s leader is signaling deference to Beijing.

Indian Politician Defends Indian U-Turn Trucker

India’s government should oppose a U.S. government crackdown on the 150,000 Indian drivers in the U.S. trucking industry, said an Indian politician whose district includes many of the drivers’ families.

Harsimrat Kaur Badal represents a district in the Punjab region, which is home to many members of the Sikh ethnic group who work illegally or legally in the U.S. trucking industry. They include the Indian truck driver, Harjinder Singh, who is facing homicide charges after killing three Americans in a turnpike U-turn.

Badal was formerly a cabinet minister in India’s federal government, and used Twitter to ask India’s foreign minister to intervene in U.S. politics to protect the Sikh truck drivers:

More than [150,000] Punjabi truck drivers in the US shud not be discriminated against due to Harjinder [Singh]’s mistake & their livelihood shud not be snatched from them by denying them work visas & making it more difficult for them to drive [U.S.] trucks by bringing in new language proficiency rules.

A crackdown would “have a detrimental effect on [the left-behind] families” in India that depend on the wage remittances sent home by Indian migrants, said Badal, who is a Sikh.

Kamala Harris Deceives Donors As She Strikes Secret Deal with DNC to Pay Off Debt from Failed 2024 White House Run

Kamala Harris deceived donors as she struck a secret deal with the DNC to pay off the remaining debt from her failed 2024 White House bid.

Recall that Kamala Harris stole Joe Biden’s delegates and took his donor money after he dropped out of the presidential race in July 2024.

After blowing through over $1 billion in virtually 3 months, Kamala Harris ended her presidential run in more than $20 million in debt.

According to The New York Times, Harris struck a secret deal with the DNC to pay off her 2024 bills, but the donors were left in the dark.

NEW: Kamala Harris and the DNC struck a handshake deal for the party to pay leftover 2024 bills.

They’ve amounted to $20.5 million.

Harris has promised to raise $$$ to cover those costs.

But small donors making the donations have been left in dark.https://t.co/8j5Jp8Y1UM

FDA Suspends License For Chikungunya Vaccine After ‘Serious Adverse Events’

Federal regulators on Aug. 25 said they’ve suspended approval for a vaccine against chikungunya, a mosquito-borne virus.

Due to reports of serious adverse events following administration of the vaccine, the Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) “believes this vaccine is not safe and that continued administration to the public would pose a danger to health,” the FDA said in a statement.

France-based Valneva makes the vaccine, known as Ixchiq.

“As we determine potential next steps, and as the clear threat of chikungunya continues to escalate globally, Valneva remains fully committed to maintaining access to our vaccine as a global health tool for addressing and preventing outbreaks of this devastating illness,” Thomas Lingelbach, Valneva’s CEO, said in a statement.

Zachart Stieber reports for The Epoch Times that the FDA originally approved Ixchiq in 2023 to prevent disease caused by the chikungunya virus in adults deemed to have an increased risk of exposure. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2024 recommended the vaccine for people traveling to certain countries.

Health officials said in an alert in May that they were advising a pause in administering the vaccine to elderly adults due to reports that some of those vaccinated had been experiencing serious adverse events (SAEs), including neurologic and cardiac problems.

This included 38 SAE reports for 32 unique cases (7 U.S., 25 foreign), including 21 hospitalizations and three deaths.

After CBER Director Dr. Vinay Prasad resigned, the FDA, in early August, ended the recommended suspension, stating that an updated assessment of risks and benefits for Ixchiq showed the benefits still outweighed the risks for some people.

In the new announcement, regulators said that is no longer the case.

The latest risk-benefit assessment includes four new foreign reports that came to light since the FDA lifted the recommended pause, including a report of problems following vaccination in a 55-year-old male.

Prasad said in a memorandum dated Aug. 22 that of the 32 cases, five tested positive for the vaccine strain of the virus, making it nearly certain that the vaccine caused the problem.

“There are reasonable grounds to believe the risks of the vaccine outweigh its benefits, and that it poses a danger to health. Therefore, CBER is suspending approval,” Prasad said.
