Complaints Ask FEC, FCC To Investigate ABC For Breaking Broadcast And Donation Rules In Debate

Remember that brazenly biased presidential debate on Sept. 10, hosted by ABC television? The one where ABC moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis “fact-checked” former President Donald Trump five times and Vice President Kamala Harris, not at all?  The one advertised as a legitimate debate that felt more like a 90-minute campaign commercial for Harris?

The Center for American Rights has filed complaints with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Federal Elections Commission (FEC), asking these agencies to hold ABC and its local affiliate accountable on two matters: an alleged campaign donation violation, and a concern about its television broadcast license.  

Unlike print media, broadcast airwaves belong to the public. While anyone can find some paper, start their own newsletter, and say whatever they want, there is a finite number of airwaves across the broadcast spectrum, so they belong to everyone. That is why the FCC licenses segments of the airwaves to broadcasters with the condition that they must use a certain amount of their broadcast time to serve the public.

“One of the obligations of stewarding the airwaves in the public interest is that debates must be fair and impartial, and when you fail at that, there must be accountability from the regulator,” Daniel Suhr, attorney at the Center for America Rights, told The Federalist in a phone interview. “The media have been pushing the boundaries for decades and what ABC did was further than what anyone had done previously.”

RNC Sues Fulton County Elections Director for Refusing to Hire Republican Poll Workers — Only 15 Republicans Hired Out of More than 800 Election Staff

The Republican National Committee (RNC), along with the Georgia Republican Party and the Fulton County Republican Party, has filed a lawsuit against Nadine Williams, the Director of Fulton County Department of Registration & Elections.

The lawsuit alleges that Williams intentionally excluded qualified Republican poll workers from the hiring process for the upcoming November 2024 election, hiring only 15 Republicans out of 804 total election staff.

The lawsuit, filed in Fulton County Superior Court, seeks an emergency writ of mandamus, demanding Williams immediately appoint the Republican poll workers that were submitted for consideration.

Under Georgia law, political parties are entitled to submit lists of qualified individuals to serve as poll workers, and election officials are required to ensure balanced representation from both parties at polling places.

However, according to the lawsuit, the RNC and its affiliates claim that Williams has outright ignored their lists, violating the state law meant to ensure fair elections.

Out of 62 qualified Republicans submitted to work on election day, only 6 were hired. Similarly, of the 45 Republicans who applied for early voting positions, a mere 9 were selected.

Kamala Slammed Over Appearance on ‘Call Her Daddy’ Podcast

Vice President Kamala Harris has faced significant backlash over her recent appearance on the explicit podcast “Call Her Daddy,” which aired during a time when Americans were grappling with the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Helene.

Critics, particularly from conservative circles, argue that her decision to participate in the podcast reflects misplaced priorities amid a national crisis.

According to the Daily Wire, Harris recorded the interview with podcast host Alex Cooper just as the death toll from Hurricane Helene was rising across southeastern states.

The storm’s impact has been catastrophic, with at least 30 reported fatalities in Asheville, North Carolina alone.

Kamala Harris campaign still mandating employees get COVID vax

Vice President Harris is still insisting that employees of her 2024 presidential campaign be fully vaccinated against the coronavirus — even as most other institutions in American life have abandoned vaccine mandates.

“Harris for President requires all employees to be ‘up to date’ on COVID-19 vaccination status as prescribed by the CDC as a condition of employment, unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law,” reads the fine print of a job posting for a senior designer in Wilmington, Del. Anyone seeking a “reasonable accommodation” must plead their case to human resources.

Additional postings on Harris’ campaign website indicates the rules also apply to all jobs offered by the Democratic National Committee as well.

Up to date officially means having a dose of the latest Pfizer, Moderna or Novavax coronavirus vaccine, according to the CDC.

As a congressman, Tim Walz sponsored legislation that would have granted legal status to 3 million undocumented migrants

A Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report has found that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, during his time in Congress, co-sponsored a bill that would have granted legal status to millions of undocumented migrants and would have placed significant financial strain on America’s social programs if it was passed.

The legislation, also known as the 2017 DREAM Act, proposed a pathway to citizenship for over three million illegal immigrants. The bill would have also expanded “chain migration,” by allowing nearly legalized individuals to sponsor relatives for permanent residency. (Related: Tim Walz linked to radical personalities with close ties to socialists and Marxists.)

The CBO report highlighted how both direct beneficiaries of the DREAM Act and their family members would have become eligible to receive support from federal social programs like Social Security and Medicaid after contributing payroll taxes after several years. Their inclusion in these programs would have significantly ballooned federal spending on them.

The CBO estimated the DREAM Act would have added $1 billion on higher education, $5.5 billion on earned income and child tax credits, $5 billion to Medicaid costs, $2.3 billion in food stamp spending, $900 million on Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, $600 million on Social Security spending and $300 million on Medicare.

Moreover, the legislation would have increased direct spending by $26.8 billion, while generating just $900 million in net revenue. Programs such as Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) would have been the key cost drivers. The CBO estimated that this would create a $25.9 billion budget deficit over the 2018-2027 period.

Kamala Harris’ Gushing Praise For Dick Cheney Backfires Terribly On Campaign

Former Vice President Dick Cheney made headlines last month after declaring he would vote for Democrat Kamala Harris over Donald Trump in the upcoming November election. Cheney, a long-time Republican, expressed his concerns over Trump’s leadership, stating the former president “can never be trusted with power again.”

“In our nation’s 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump. He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him. He can never be trusted with power again,” Cheney said in a statement on September 6. “As citizens, we each have a duty to put country above partisanship to defend our Constitution. That is why I will be casting my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.”

On Thursday, former Republican Representative Liz Cheney introduced Kamala Harris at a Wisconsin rally, marking her first public endorsement of a Democrat. “We may disagree on some things, but we are bound together by the other thing that matters to us as Americans more than any other, and that is our duty to our Constitution and our belief in the miracle and the blessing of this great nation,” Liz said to the crowd.

Liz served three terms as Wyoming’s representative in the House before losing her 2022 primary to Trump-endorsed Harriet Hageman, who was once an adviser to her father. Liz cited the “critical moment in our nation’s history” as the reason behind her decision, further highlighting the political shift within some factions of the Republican Party.

As a result, Harris faced backlash following the rally for her praise of her father, Dick Cheney. “I also want to thank your father, Vice President Dick Cheney, for his support, and what he has done to serve our country,” Harris said, while acknowledging Liz Cheney’s backing. Although Harris’ partnership with Liz Cheney might have ruffled some Democratic feathers, it was her commendation of Dick Cheney that drew sharp criticism from both quarters.

Rep. Adam Schiff and Other Democrats Demand Social Media Companies Censor “Misinformation” and “Disinformation” This Month

In the US, the Democrats continue with their sustained efforts to pressure major social media platforms, now about a month ahead of the presidential election.

The Twitter Files give some idea about what may be happening behind closed doors (if previous campaigns/elections are any indication), but this is about public pressure. This time, Congressman Adam Schiff’s turn is to “demand action” from companies behind social media.

Meta (Instagram separately), X, Google (and YouTube separately), TikTok, Snapchat, YouTube, and Microsoft are the recipients of a letter Schiff signed along with seven fellow members of the House of Representatives (four of them, like Schiff, California Democrats).

We obtained a copy of the letter for you here.

DOJ Sues Alabama to Permit Migrant Voting

Bring on the election fraud! The Democrats will not stop until every illegal migrant has cast a vote for Harris-Walz. The establishment has abruptly halted every attempt to restore America’s electoral process. Now, the Department of Justice is suing the state of Alabama for removing illegal migrants from voter roles.

The DOJ is demanding that the state of Alabama register everyone it removed from the voting registration, claiming that the state also included legal citizens. Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen believes that 3,251 illegal voters were identified and promptly removed 84 days prior to the election. The DOJ has also claimed that Alabama has violated the National Voter Registration Act that prohibits the removal of applicants 90 days prior to election day.

Then we have 14 states that do not require voter identification. In Arizona, an astounding 5% of voters may or may not be citizens of the United States. Adrian Fontes, Arizona’s secretary of state, claims that over 200,000 registered voters simply have not confirmed their citizenship. The state of Arizona insists that there was a glitch at the Department of Motor Vehicles that failed to ask applicants to confirm citizenship. Questioning this madness makes you a conspiracy theorist. “When this goes public, it is going to have all of the conspiracy theorists in the globe — in the world — coming back to re-litigate the past three elections, at least in Arizona,” Katie Hobbs, the Democratic governor, said. “And it’s going to validate all of their theories about illegal voting in our elections, even though we all know that’s not true.”

Migrants with no loyalty or ties to the United States WILL BE VOTING FOR THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. The Supreme Court must step in and restore some law and order.

Newsom Quietly Bans Voter ID Rules in California

In a controversial move that has intensified the debate over election integrity, California Governor Gavin Newsom has somewhat quietly signed legislation prohibiting local governments from implementing voter identification requirements at polling places. 

The new law directly challenges efforts by some municipalities to enhance election security measures, ZeroHedge reported.

The legislation, spearheaded by Democratic Senator Dave Min of Orange County, specifically targets a voter-approved measure in Huntington Beach that mandated photo identification at polling locations. 

This legislative action marks the latest development in an ongoing conflict between state Democratic leadership and conservative local governments over election administration.

FBI Whistleblower Alleges Plan to Deploy Plainclothes FBI Agents to Maricopa County Polling Stations to Monitor Trump Voters — FBI Responds

A bombshell report from a whistleblower has set off alarms among Arizona’s voters and political leaders, as new revelations have surfaced about an alleged plan by the FBI to deploy plainclothes agents to polling stations in Maricopa County.

According to a whistleblower who attended a recent security briefing, the FBI’s primary objective with this operation is to monitor Trump voters during the upcoming election—a disturbing indication of federal interference aimed at intimidating those who dare to support the 45th president.

Representative Alexander Kolodin (R-AZ) was quick to act, sending a forceful letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray, warning that such actions would not be tolerated.

In the letter, Kolodin made it clear that the House is prepared to take immediate action against any attempts by federal agents to intimidate or censor voters in Arizona.

“I sincerely hope that this disturbing allegation is false. Rest assured, however, that if your agents are here for any other purpose than ensuring that every lawful voter is able to cast a ballot, the House is prepared to take immediate action to secure all Arizonans the equal protection of the laws,” Kolodin wrote.

The letter expresses deep concern over the alleged deployment of FBI agents in Maricopa County polling stations, with the intent to monitor and intimidate Trump voters specifically.

The whistleblower claims that the agents were tasked with making sure Trump voters “don’t get out of line,” a vague but menacing directive that could lead to widespread voter suppression.
