Top Democrat Accidentally Reveals What Her Party Really Fears in the SAVE Act

Republicans successfully brought the SAVE America Act to the Senate floor for debate on Tuesday, and Democrats sure do sound like they’re in full panic mode. The talking points were predictable, and we’ve heard them all before — the usual accusations of disenfranchisement, minorities unable to get IDs, married women losing access to the ballot, and their new favorite line about getting passports. Bogus fear-mongering, all of it. These concerns are literally all addressed in the text of the bill itself. So what’s the real reason they’re opposing it?

I’ve always said it’s because Democrats rely on fraudulent votes for power. That’s also the reason why the provisions of the SAVE America Act are widely popular, save for with Democrats in Congress. They won’t say that, of course, but Sen. Patty Murray actually let the cat out of the bag on the Senate floor.

First, let’s be clear about what this bill actually does. The SAVE America Act requires a photo ID to vote and proof of citizenship to register to vote. That’s it. There is literally nothing controversial about this.

Yet, Murray took to the floor and said, “Just consider all the people who will face new challenges just to vote, for no good reason. If you are a student who just moved to start college, Republicans will make it harder for you to vote because if this bill passes, you will need to show a photo ID and proof of citizenship in every single state, but a student ID won’t count. Many tribal IDs also won’t be enough under the new Republican restrictions.”

Read that again slowly.

Murray’s great concern is that students won’t be able to vote using their college IDs. But here’s the thing — domestic students who attend school out of state are not voting residents of that state, just because they go to school there. They are still residents of wherever home is. I grew up in Massachusetts and went to college in Connecticut, but I didn’t officially move to Connecticut. I didn’t register to vote there. When elections came, I voted absentee. That’s how it works, that’s how it has always worked, and it is entirely legal and straightforward. No student needs to vote in the state where his or her college is located, unless he or she literally goes through the process of changing his/her residency. The scenario Murray is describing isn’t a suppression crisis — it’s a thing that shouldn’t be happening at all.

Insanity: Newsom’s California Blows OVER $100 MILLION on a ‘Butterfly and Cougar’ Bridge With No End in Sight – Project Director Blames Trump and the Weather

While waste and California go together like peanut butter and jelly, even this latest example will blow your mind.

City Journal’s Chris Rufo broke an explosive story on Wednesday, revealing how Gavin Newsom’s California somehow spent $114 million on the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing (WAWC) over the course of four years. The crossing features an overpass for animals atop ten lanes of the 101 Freeway in Agoura Hills.

The stated goal of the project was to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions by providing safe passage to the animals. The species that were supposed to benefit included the endangered cougars in the area and the monarch butterflies.

During a ceremony announcing the project, Newsom boasted that the state would provide $54 million in funding to complete the crossing. It was supposed to cost $92 million in total, with the remaining funding from private philanthropists.

Officials projected the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing would open in 2025, but now it is over $20 million over budget with no finish in sight. And you can thank good old-fashioned political corruption for it, along with the person in charge of the project, a loony cougar-sweater-wearing ‘environmentalist’ named Beth Pratt, who serves on WAWC’s Partner Leadership Team.

17 Veterans Kill Themselves A Day Waiting 17 Days For Help

Every day, roughly 17 veterans take their own lives. For two decades, that number hasn’t budged. 

VA Secretary Doug Collins said that despite spending billions of dollars, we’re losing the same number of veterans every year. For veterans under the age of 45, a recent report shows suicide is the second-leading cause of death. They’re not faceless statistics, but fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters who couldn’t survive the wait for help. 

What makes this unbearable is that while those veterans were in crisis, veterans wait an average of 17 days to see a mental health professional for the first time. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), ranking member of the Veterans’ Affairs Committee, wrote that these delays ‘pose serious risks to the health and safety of those who served.’ 

The problem isn’t money. In November, President Trump signed a $133 billion VA funding bill that includes $698 million for suicide prevention outreach. And the problem isn’t resourcing, as more than 9 million scheduled visits go unutilized each year due to missed appointments. The problem is that the infrastructure can’t keep up. 

The VA operates on electronic record systems that don’t communicate across facilities, community providers, or state lines, the very kind of coordination that’s standard in private health systems. 

Consider the veteran who needs help for mental health or PTSD treatment. There might be an appointment at their local VA, an available telehealth appointment, or a nearby walk-in clinic. But the scheduling infrastructure can’t surface those pathways together. Staff can’t schedule across the network, even though there’s availability to address a veteran’s needs that day. The veteran can’t book online, and they’re told to wait, call back, or try another number. 

The inefficiencies are well documented. The VA’s own Access to Care website shows it: mental health, primary care, specialty services, all backed up. At the West Los Angeles VA, new patients wait 69 days for mental health, 49 days for pain medicine, and 100 days for substance use treatment. VA clinicians are mission-driven and understand the wounds of war, but they’re working with systems that can’t deliver at the speed healthcare demands. 

The largest health systems in America manage their networks in real time. Open appointments, provider resourcing, and patient needs are all visible in a single ‘pane of glass’ that call center staff can reference to route patients. For decades, VA has struggled to do the same. For a fraction of what VA spends, that same capability can be deployed systemwide. Not to add bureaucracy but linking the network so it operates as one. 

Veteran suicide is complex. Stigma keeps many from seeking help, and nearly 33,000 veterans are homeless each night, many struggling with mental illness and disconnected from care. That makes it even more critical that when a veteran reaches out—after overcoming enormous barriers—the system responds immediately. We can’t afford to lose them to wait times and scheduling friction after they’ve found the courage to ask for help. 

Of course, technology alone won’t solve this. Some argue that expanding community care—a program that lets eligible veterans see local private providers—is the solution. It’s part of the answer. But more choice doesn’t help if veterans and schedulers can’t see what’s available, most convenient, or the soonest.

US Government Registers Domain Name ‘Aliens.gov’, Sparking Expectations That Trump May Be About To Release Classified Documents on UFOs

Space is the final frontier, and Aliens are the biggest mystery.

We have been reporting here on TGP about Donald J. Trump’s directive to his administration to release the classified UFO files to the public.

But now, in a development that has gone viral, the domain name ‘Aliens.gov’ has been included in the government’s official website registry.

The discreet development ignited speculation that Trump could be about to disclose US intelligence information on whether or not we’re alone in the universe.

The New York Post reported:

“The domain name discovery comes almost exactly a month after President Trump announced he was ordering administration officials to release government files related to UFOs and extraterrestrials.

Though the website is not yet live, the government has reserved the domain name for an as-yet-unknown purpose, registry records show.”

Israeli settlements will spell ‘end’ for Holy Land Christians – ‘America First’

Unabated settler violence, along with Israel’s continued settlement policy, could spell doom for the remaining Christian communities in the Holy Land, Jason Jones, founder of the Vulnerable People Project, has told RT’s America First.

Israel has allegedly approved the demolition of thousands of homes in the West Bank belonging to Christian communities and is encroaching on the territory of some of the oldest Christian populations in the area, particularly around Bethlehem, as well as villages such as Taybeh, Jones claimed.

The settlement of Shtema located at the site of a former Israel military base just east of the town of Bethlehem “will be the end of the Christian community in the Holy Land,” Jones said. “It will be the end of the oldest Christian community in the world,” he added, referring to a settlement legalized by West Jerusalem last year.

The NGO founder, whose organization operates in the West Bank and other territories, warned that local Christian communities are being attacked by settlers. “There is direct physical violence. There is separating the communities,” Jones added.

Neither West Jerusalem nor Washington is willing to act, with the US choosing to be “on the side of the oppressor,” Jones believes. Mike Huckabee, the US ambassador to Israel, is “just ignoring it,” according to Jones. Huckabee, a former Baptist minister, “was not man enough to rise to the occasion and speak truth,” Jones said.

REPORT: Trump Considering Deployment of THOUSANDS of Ground Troops Along Strait of Hormuz and Kharg Island as RINO Warpig Lindsey Graham Demands He “Take Kharg Island”

President Trump is reportedly weighing the deployment of ground troops to Iran along the coast of the Strait of Hormuz or Kharg Island, as the war in Iran approaches the end of its third week. 

This comes as Lindsey Graham demands that President Trump escalate the war further on Kharg Island.

During a Fox News appearance on Tuesday, Graham cried, “90% of their income comes from oil and gas revenue. 100% of that revenue-generating capability is on a single island. Mr. President, take Kharg Island; this war is over.”

Trump has publicly suggested an escalation and expansion of operations against Iran.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump threatened to “finish off” Iran on Wednesday in response to allies’ refusal to assist with the Strait of Hormuz.

Did the DHS “ALBERT” Intrusion Detection Systems Fail? China Obtained 2020 Voter Rolls and Made Fake Driver Licenses

Major revelations have emerged about the 2020 election. JustTheNews reported that U.S. intelligence agencies have had raw reports, finished intelligence products, and at least one presidential daily briefing.

They all contain knowledge about actual breaches and interference conducted by foreign actors to swing the 2020 election. But we were told the election was the most secure ever.

The intelligence community hid this from the 2020 Trump Administration, various officials, and the American people for years. This Ombudsman letter from Barry Zulauf explains that China was seemingly protected.

Info from China analysts was withheld or dismissed. The words “influence” and “interference” had different meanings regarding China than they did for other countries like Iran and Russia.

Those old reports show they knew Chinese intelligence had obtained voter registration data from multiple states. This is the data with personal ID information, including social security numbers and driver’s licenses. It’s the exact type of voter roll data the DOJ has been asking for.

TGP reported on the “ALBERT Sensor” intrusion detection system a few years ago. It was rapidly deployed in 2017 by DHS into county elections across the country. Did it not work for the 2020 election, or have States hidden voter roll intrusions from their citizens?

DEA Admits Teen Cannabis Use Has Drastically Decreased Since 1995, Despite Dozens of States Legalizing Cannabis

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is acknowledging that teen cannabis use has fallen sharply over the past three decades, despite 40 states legalizing medical cannabis and 24 legalizing adult-use cannabis within that period.

The admission comes through DEA’s Just Think Twice platform, where the agency includes an online quiz covering drug trends, overdose risks and substance use. One of the questions asks whether past-year marijuana use among adolescents and teens declined between 1995 and 2025. DEA says that statement is a fact.

According to the agency, past-year cannabis use among 8th grade students dropped from 15.8% in 1995 to 7.6% in 2025. Among 10th graders, it fell from 28.7% to 15.6%. For 12th graders, it declined from 34.7% to 25.7%.

Those figures undercut one of the most common arguments used by prohibitionists for years: that allowing marijuana to become legal at the state level would inevitably cause youth use to rise. DEA’s own materials now make clear that the opposite trend has played out over time.

That matters because the legalization movement expanded dramatically during the same period. California became the first state to legalize medical cannabis in 1996. Since then, 39 other states have followed with medical marijuana laws, and 24 states have also legalized cannabis for adult use.

In other words, marijuana laws have loosened in dozens of states since the mid-1990s, while teen use has moved in the other direction.

DEA says the figures come from the Monitoring the Future survey, a long-running national study backed by the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

Hero of the left Cesar Chavez exposed as a monster as girls make horrific abuse allegations

Cesar Chavez, an iconic hero of the political left, has been posthumously accused of grooming and sexually abusing girls as young as 12.

Chavez, the charismatic campaigner for farmworkers’ rights, gained international prominence with strikes and fasts for higher wages and better working conditions for migrant workers who picked grapes and performed other agricultural labor.

After founding the United Farm Workers (UFW) union in 1962 he became the face of the Latino civil rights movement and is still celebrated in murals at schools across the nation. His birthday is a holiday in states including California.

Chavez, who was Mexican-American, died in 1993 aged 66.

The following year, President Bill Clinton posthumously awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America’s highest civilian honor.

When Joe Biden entered the Oval Office in 2021 he installed a bust of Chavez next to his desk, at the same time removing one of Winston Churchill.

Now, in an exposé that will send shockwaves through the country, the New York Times revealed allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior and abuse by two women, who were girls at the time in the 1970s.

His fellow iconic labor leader Dolores Huerta, now aged 96, also claimed Chavez forced her to have sex in a grape field in 1966.

Brazil Launches Mandatory Age Verification Law for Online Platforms

Brazil’s Digital ECA (Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente Digital) took effect today, March 17, requiring nearly every tech product accessible to children to clear a long list of compliance obligations.
Apps, operating systems, app stores, video games, social networks: all potentially covered, all facing fines of up to 50 million Brazilian reais (roughly US$9.44 million) or 10% of their Brazilian revenue for non-compliance.

As always, the framing is child protection. The infrastructure being built is a national age verification system woven into the fabric of internet access.

“Brazil has stepped forward as the first country in Latin America to pass a dedicated law to protect children’s online privacy and safety,” goes the official line.

Every major technology platform operating in Brazil must now determine how old its users are and restrict what they can see accordingly. The checkbox that said “I am over 18” is explicitly banned.

Article 37’s sole paragraph states that regulations “may not, under any circumstances, impose, authorize, or result in the implementation of mechanisms of massive, generic, or indiscriminate surveillance.”

Then Article 9 bans self-reported age. Article 12 demands “auditable” verification. The law prohibits the only mechanism that would make the law work.

Auditable, non-self-declaration age verification requires collecting something real about you.

The law permits a range of methods: government ID, biometric face scanning, behavioral pattern analysis that watches how you type and what you click, age inference from activity data, and educational history.

Every single one of these collects sensitive personal information and creates a record. There is no method on the approved list that doesn’t involve building exactly the kind of identity infrastructure Article 37 claims to forbid. The legislators either didn’t notice the contradiction or they noticed and didn’t care.

The obligation falls on platforms, not directly on every individual user. But the effect is the same. Platforms that want to comply need to verify who you are and how old you are before showing you restricted content. If you want to see it, you provide the data. If you don’t provide the data, you don’t get access.
