Pennsylvania Democrats openly admit to counting illegal ballots in McCormick-Casey race

As the contested Pennsylvania Senate race barrels towards a $1 million recount, Democratic officials in a few blue counties are openly admitting to counting disqualified ballots in defiance of state law and court orders. 

The Associated Press has called the race for Republican Sen.-elect Dave McCormick, who currently holds a 26,000 vote lead over incumbent Democratic Sen. Bob Casey. But Casey has refused to concede and insisted that every vote be counted. The close margin – within one percentage point – triggered an automatic recount under Pennsylvania law. 

Yet the critical question is which votes should be counted? The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled before the election that mail ballots lacking formally required signatures or dates should not be included in official results. However, Democratic officials in Philadelphia and surrounding Bucks, Centre and Montgomery counties are ignoring that court order. 

“I think we all know that precedent by a court doesn’t matter anymore in this country,” Bucks County Commissioner Diane Ellis-Marseglia, a Democrat, said Thursday as she and other Democrats voted to reject a GOP-led challenge to ballots that should be disqualified.

Staggering graph shows how eight million Democrat voters ‘vanished’

Of all the embarrassing failures Kamala Harris suffered at the ballot box – including the exodus of Hispanic, black, Asian and young voters – there is perhaps one that torments her the most.

The popular vote, represented in the staggering graphic below, reveals that more than 8 million Americans who voted for Biden in 2020 simply vanished as they refused to back the Democratic candidate in 2024.

Biden secured 81 million votes compared to Harris’ 73 million.

Harris supporters may try to dismiss this decline as the result of voter turnout being lower in 2024. But turnout is only projected to be two points lower – 65 percent against 67 percent in 2020.

Harris is ten points down on Biden’s numbers (with 97 percent of the total vote counted at the time of writing).

Donald Trump, on the other hand, bumped his numbers by more than a million votes this time around, trouncing Harris by a margin of 3 million.

He became the first Republican presidential candidate to win the popular vote for two decades.

Even Hillary Clinton, one of the most unpopular presidential candidates of the last 50 years, managed to defeat Trump on raw votes in 2016.

Harris’ campaign blew $2.6M on private jets in final weeks of campaign

Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign shelled out $2.6 million on private jet travel in the final, dying gasps of her presidential run — bringing her failed campaign’s total tally on the environmentally unfriendly mode of transportation to a staggering $12 million, records show.

As Harris’ team desperately shuttled across the nation to host rallies and coax voter turnout between Oct. 1 and Oct. 17, her campaign ponied up nearly $2.2 million to the south Florida-based company Private Jet Services Group, along with $430,000 to Arlington, Va.-based charter flight broker Advanced Aviation Team, according to Federal Election Commission data.

The reliance on private jets, which can be up to 14 times more polluting than commercial flights, flies in the face of her 2019 doom-saying that global warming is an “existential threat” to humanity, as well as calls on the campaign trail for Americans to reduce their carbon emissions to stop global warming.

What Happens To Jan. 6 Defendants After Trump’s Election Win?

After President-elect Donald Trump won a second term, multiple defendants charged for their roles in the events of Jan. 6, 2021, asked to delay their cases because they anticipate pardons from Trump.

According to data collected by NPR, more than 1,500 people have been charged in relation to Jan. 6, with nearly 1,000 pleading guilty.

At least a dozen cases have been dismissed, while plenty remain with changes following Trump’s election. At the beginning of November, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia announced multiple sentences and guilty verdicts.

Various factors could determine whether these individuals end up avoiding jail time, but perhaps the most important is Trump’s eventual control of the Department of Justice (DOJ) and who will lead that department.

On Nov. 13, Trump announced Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) as his pick for attorney general. Gaetz has been critical of the prosecutions and introduced a bill in July that was intended to prevent prosecutors from retaliating against Jan. 6 defendants for seeking resentencing. Gaetz has also questioned federal involvement, stating that Jan. 6 “wasn’t an insurrection” but that it “very well may have been a fedsurrection.”

Assuming the presidency also grants Trump substantial pardon power under the Constitution: Trump has indicated that he’s open to pardoning those charged but left open the possibility that some would face punishment.

“We will treat them fairly,” he said in January 2022. “And if it requires pardons, we will give them pardons, because they are being treated so unfairly.”

More recently, during an event in July, he was asked about individuals who assaulted officers. He said he would “absolutely” pardon the defendants “if they’re innocent” and added that “they were convicted by a very tough system.”

More than 70 defendants have received a mixed verdict, and so far, more than 1,000 people have been sentenced, with 64 percent receiving prison time, according to NPR data. Some defendants have also taken plea deals.

“I think there’s going to be a complete second look at all of the prosecutions,” Robert Ray, a former Trump impeachment attorney, told The Epoch Times, while noting the large number of cases brought. He added that a second look wouldn’t “necessarily yield a favorable result with regard to each and every defendant, but I think there’s going to be a pretty strenuous exercise of the pardon and commutation power to deal with overreaching [by prosecutors].”

John Pierce, an attorney who has represented Jan. 6 defendants, told The Epoch Times he expects a “blanket pardon,” while Trump–Vance transition spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said the president-elect “will make pardon decisions on a case-by-case basis.”

UNREAL: After Burning Through More Than a Billion Dollars, the Kamala Harris Campaign is Now Struggling to Pay Senior Staffers

As the Gateway Pundit has reported in detail, the Kamala Harris presidential campaign raised over a billion dollars and somehow managed to end up $20 million in debt.

There is an ongoing controversy about how much the campaign paid to celebrities like Oprah Winfrey and many others.

Now it is being reported that the campaign can’t even pay its senior staffers. Just amazing.

Books will be written about the Harris campaign and its surreal mismanagement of money. The Democrat party might want to do a detailed investigation as well. Their donors must be outraged.

The Washington Examiner reports:

Harris campaign struggling to pay senior staffers amid post-election financial straits: Report

Vice President Kamala Harris‘s campaign is struggling to meet its financial promises to personnel amid continued hardships following the presidential election, according to reports.

The granular details of the Harris campaign’s current finances are not known, but a steady stream of leaks by disgruntled insiders close to the organization paint the picture of a tense cash crunch that’s left a bad taste in the mouth of many employees.

The campaign made the decision to freeze payments to its senior staffers this week — despite previous promises to keep those employed on the pay rolls through December, according to a report from the Associated Press.

Those staffers informed of the payment cuts were told that their health insurance will continue through the end of the year, according to sources close to the campaign.

How is it even possible that this campaign doesn’t have money to pay its staff?

Evidence Points to Voter Fraud in 2024 Wisconsin Senate Race

In the late-night hours of November 6 while most of the country was asleep, a “huge and improbable Dem vote dump,” to quote the “Shylock Holmes” (@shylockh) X / Twitter account that dropped the news, resulted in the Wisconsin Senate race being handed to Democrat Tammy Baldwin instead of Republican Eric Hovde.

Two counties in particular, Dane and Winnebago, saw oddly improved Democratic vote counts at numerous points during the count. Every time the GOP started to pull ahead in the race, the Democrat vote spikes became observably more “extreme” to offset it.

Also, in Milwaukee at 3:31am, there was a single count update of 109,000 votes, 83 percent of which favored Democrats. That vote count dump ultimately flipped the outcome of the race from Hovde to Baldwin.

“This vote batch is improbable on several dimensions,” Shylock Holmes tweeted.

  1.  It is late at night
  2. It differs from the 67% Dem vote share beforehand
  3. It is 25% of all Senate votes cast in Milwaukee
  4. It is a considerable fraction (3.2%) of votes in the overall race
  5. The race was close beforehand (49.1% Dem vote share)
  6. It flipped the outcome of the race”

Kamala Harris Campaign Responds to Allegations That They Paid Millions to Ultra-Wealthy Celebrities Including Oprah to Endorse Harris

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Kamala Harris has been beset with revelations that she ended her campaign millions of dollars in debt despite raising over $1 billion. In fact, Harris’s campaign was so poorly run that her top staffers reportedly paid wealthy, liberal celebrities millions of dollars to endorse her.

These celebrities allegedly included rapper Cardi B and infamous billionaire mogul Oprah Winfrey. The campaign has remained silent for days regarding the rumors.

Until now. Adrienne Elrod, who served as senior spokesperson for Harris’s campaign, gave her version of the facts in an interview with Deadline this week.

“We do not pay,” she told the outlet. “We have never paid any artist and performer. We have never paid a fee to that person.”

But Elrod did note that the Harris campaign paid “for any ancillary costs for that performance” by a celebrity, saying this was required by law.

“There are laws that have to be followed that we have followed religiously on this campaign,” she said.

The Daily Mail notes that the laws Elrod was referring to are Federal Election Commission (FEC) rules which mandate campaigns to pay “fair market value” for the costs of events.

Companies are forbidden from paying campaigns directly without receiving reimbursement. Moreover, when an individual decides to cover the cost, this is still an in-kind contribution that faces legal limits.

Elrod’s response came just days after Winfrey was confronted by a TMZ reporter on Monday in Santa Barbara, California regarding President Trump’s election victory and whether she received $1 million from the Harris campaign.

According to a report from The Washington Examiner on how the campaign burned through over $1 billion in funds, Winfrey’s Harpo Productions received $1 million in October for ‘campaign-related’ services.

In return, Winfrey hosted a star-studded town hall and spoke at her final rally in Philadelphia before Election Day.

Trump Proved Rigged Elections Are Winnable. Now It’s Time To Un-Rig Them

In the 2020 election, Donald Trump and his voters faced media interference, suspicious ballot dumps, politicized censorship of information, low-security election laws, polling place issues, and legally dubious Democrat get-out-the-vote operations.

In the 2024 election, Donald Trump and his voters faced media interference, suspicious ballot dumps, politicized censorship of information, low-security election laws, polling place issues, and legally dubious Democrat get-out-the-vote operations. On top of those, he faced two assassination attempts and a political lawfare campaign designed to bankrupt and jail him. The fact that Trump succeeded in making this election “too big to rig” doesn’t make those problems any less threatening to self-governance.

After 2020, concerned Americans started paying more attention to the security of our elections. Often on their own time, they perused voter rolls, filed public records requests, and researched election law. After 2020, they uncovered shady schemes like “Zuckbucks” — an effort to dump billions in “grants” into left-leaning jurisdictions in swing states to juice Democrat turnout — that had influenced that election.

By 2024, they had accumulated a body of research on proven or potential flaws in our elections. States that automatically register residents to vote, but don’t require proof of citizenship to do so, created opportunities for noncitizens to end up on voter rolls, sometimes unknowingly so. Overly broad laws governing overseas voters allowed people to vote in certain swing states despite never setting foot there. States with mass mail voting regimes ended up sending ballots to the wrong places, with no way to make sure they didn’t wind up in the hands of bad actors. Laws allowing undated ballots to be turned in after Election Day welcomed illegitimate behavior. States that don’t require ID to vote — or that treat noncitizen licenses as qualifying IDs — invited fraud and decreased confidence in elections. Election officials’ decision to keep dead, moved, or otherwise unqualified “voters” on the voter rolls practically invited abuse.

Despite the attention drawn to them, all of those problems still exist.

Other problems were reincarnated as new ones. As quickly as sunlight dried up the Zuckbucks pipeline, the federal government replaced it with something worse: a taxpayer-funded scheme to target likely Democrat votes. While Elon Musk transformed Twitter from the chief censorship engine to a free speech platform, actors like Facebook, YouTube, and Google doubled down. While alternative media outlets drew attention to election red flags, the legacy press labeled anyone who questioned the process “election deniers.”

Donald Trump’s win proved the Democrat election rigging machine isn’t impregnable. But it also showed just how much “rigging” you have to overcome to win. And in several Senate races around the country, other Republicans didn’t.

Remember John Edwards’s $1,250 Haircut? Kamala’s Nails Just Blew That Number Out of the Water

Whether they’re in office or on the campaign trail, Democrat politicians have a penchant for spending lots of money on really stupid things.

After it was discovered that Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign raised one billion dollars, only to find themselves $20 million in debt for their losing effort on Nov. 5, the public — donors among them — were wondering where all the money went.

The reader may remember in 2007, when Democrat candidate John Edwards spent an appalling $1,250 for a haircut from Beverly Hills stylist Joseph Torrenueva, but Harris’s expenses from nail artist Tahvya Krok make that look like chump change.

The Daily Mail reported Wednesday that the Harris campaign “disbursed” Krok an astounding $5,000 on Aug. 26 for her work.

A haircut is one thing.

Voters will look at the candidate from the shoulders up in many appearances televised or in-person.

Being presentable, with professional attire and a well-groomed appearance, should be important, but Edwards’s $1,250 was and is indefensible in the eyes of any self-respecting man. Most wouldn’t pay more than $25 — or better yet, they’d just have their wife do it for free.

The voter won’t notice nails unless they are grotesque and unkempt.

It’s unclear what the Harris campaign hoped to achieve by seeking Krok’s services, as the election night totals speak for themselves.

If your blood isn’t already boiling, for context, Harris’ nails bill costs what a family would spend on groceries in about five months.

While we could endlessly ridicule Edwards and Harris, both situations are indicative of the timeless “rules for thee and not for me” standard the left always defaults to.

Americans are expected to live in abject poverty and misery as we are told of a looming climate crisis, while our government has spent the past four years — under Harris and President Joe Biden — dumping billions into foreign wars and giving handouts to illegal immigrants.

For balance, every American with a basic understanding of our current political class knows President-elect Donald Trump is a billionaire and does not skimp, as his campaign was one of wealth, power and extravagance.

What’s the difference?

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz Calls Trump DNI Nominee Tulsi Gabbard A ‘Russian Asset’

Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) joined MSNBC this week where she claimed Donald Trump’s Director of National Intelligence nominee Tulsi Gabbard is “a Russian asset.”

“Tulsi Gabbard is someone who has met with war criminals, violated the Department of State’s guidance and secretly, clandestinely went to Syria and met with Assad who gassed and attacked his own people with chemical weapons. She’s considered to be essentially by most assessments a Russian asset and would be the most dangerous…” Schultz said before being asked by an MSNBC anchor if she considers Gabbard a Russian agent.

She answered, “Oh yes, there’s no question I consider her someone who is likely a Russian asset who would be, as the DNI responsible for managing our entire intelligence community, hold all of our most significant intelligence information and secrets, and essentially would be a direct line to our enemies.”
