HERE WE GO AGAIN: Germany’s AfD ROBBED of Victory as Mail-In Ballots Flip Results in Saxony-Anhalt

After its historic victory in the state of Saxony-Anhalt, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has dropped from 44.4 % of the vote to 43.8% after mail-in ballots were counted, with all other parties gaining abnormally from mail-in ballots. Attorney Dirk Schmitz called this a sign of “systematic manipulation”.

German elections have been thought to be fairly secure, with mainly in-person same-day voting, photo ID requirements, and a Supreme Court ban on digital voting machines, as I explained to Ben Harnwell on The War Room.

However, Saxony-Anhalt saw a boom in mail-in ballots, making up one-quarter of all votes cast.

Originally, the AfD had taken 51% of in-person votes on Sunday. As mail-in ballots were counted beginning at 6 pm local time, all other parties gained, and only the AfD lost. Plagiarism expert Stefan Weber, who has identified numerous cheating academics, causing the Christian Democrat governor of the neighboring state of Thuringia Mario Voigt to lose his Ph.D., called these results “a sign of systematic manipulation”, citing an analysis by attorney Dirk Schmitz published by alternative journalist Alexander Wallasch:

“51.20% for the AfD at the ballot box – but only 24.27% of the mail-in vote. A drop of almost 27%. In some places, the gap was even more dramatic: In Mertendorf, the AfD took 63.2 % at the ballot box, but only 24.5% of the mail-in vote – a difference of almost 39%. In the town of Hedersleben, 62.9% of in-person votes went to the AfD, but only 26.4% of the mail-in vote,” Schmitz wrote. “In one district of Magdeburg, the AfD only got 5.5% of the mail-in vote, versus 41.5% at the ballot box (minus 36.0%). In Obhausen, the AfD received 24.8% of mail-in ballots versus 60.5% of in-person votes (minus 35.7%). In the town of Meineweh, the AfD received 27.9% of mail-in ballots versus 63.0% of in-person votes, a difference of 35.1%.”

Democrat Ohio Gubernatorial Candidate Amy Acton Slurs Her Words and Sounds Drunk Again at Labor Day Campaign Event

Amy Acton channeled Kamala Harris during a Labor Day campaign event on Monday.

During a Labor Day event on Monday, Democrat Ohio Gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton slurred her words as she played victim about after a man pushed his way into a tent to get a photo with her over the weekend.

On Sunday it was reported that multiple people were injured after an armed man lunged at Democrat Ohio Gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton at a campaign event at the Canfield Fair near Youngstown.

“While attending the Canfield Fair, an armed individual lunged at Dr. Acton, injuring multiple people,” Acton’s campaign said.

Patrick Havas, 38, was arrested and charged with two counts of assault and one count of disorderly conduct.

Canada’s Tariff Strategy Designed To Interfere With U.S. Midterm Elections

Late last month, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney walked away from a trade deal with the United States. According to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Canada was “offered the best trade deal of any country on the globe,” but Carney abandoned the deal “at the last minute.”

According to the White House, “the U.S. offered Canada the most preferential market access of any country on Earth, with deep cuts on steel, aluminum, autos, lumber, and more. Instead of partnership, Canada chose unreasonable demands, walk-backs, and flat-out rejection.” Canada responded with retaliation rather than negotiation, becoming the only other country besides China to do so.

And the reason is that Canada is trying to influence the 2026 midterm elections in the United States.

After the trade negotiations failed, Canadian officials announced that tariffs of up to 50% will hit roughly 700 American products starting September 8, covering close to $20 billion in goods, about 7% of everything Canada imports from the United States. The rates range from 15% to 50%, and tariffs on American steel and aluminum will double from 25% to 50%. This was a targeted economic strike meant to hit key states before the midterm elections.

Ottawa has barely bothered to deny it. Canadian Industry Minister Mélanie Joly said the tariffs were built to apply political pressure on specific states, telling reporters: “We are also targeting products that can target specific states in the United States. We are being smart and strategic in order to apply political pressure, and I think it’s the right thing to do right now.”

Asked directly about the political intent by the Canadian Broadcasting Corp., Joly did not walk it back: “We are putting pressure clearly on different states and different people. We don’t want to do that. We don’t want this trade war. We didn’t start it.”

The target list reads like a midterm map. Cheese products from Wisconsin. Washers and dryers from Kentucky, where GE Appliances is a major employer. Steel, aluminum and auto parts from Michigan. The Wall Street Journal reported that Canadian officials designed the package to protect domestic industry and to “sting President Trump and his Republican Party” heading into November.

“The states that are most reliant on Canada as an export market are often the northern-tier states – Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, New Hampshire,” Ed Gresser told the Wall Street Journal. He argued that Canada is “trying to show the Republican party that there’s a systemic cost to doing this sort of thing.”

Trade consultant Eric Miller, who heads the Washington-based Rideau Potomac Strategy Group, said Canada picked targets with available substitutes, either domestic production or imports from Mexico and China, items like air conditioners and appliances, while simultaneously hitting producers in swing states and reliably Republican territory.

Nowhere was the targeting clearer than Maine, and nowhere did it collapse faster. Ottawa’s original list carried a 25% tariff on American lobster, set to bite during the fall season when roughly half of Maine’s catch goes to Canadian processors. Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), facing re-election in November, had already warned that the trade war would hurt her state. The Maine Lobstermen’s Association warned on Aug. 26 that the duty would land at the worst possible moment for an industry running on thin margins.

Solicitor General John Sauer Warns Supreme Court — “Once These Ballot Envelopes Enter the Mail Stream, THERE IS NO RETRIEVING THEM”

President Trump’s Solicitor General just put the Supreme Court on the clock. If the justices do not act this week, thousands of unsecured mail-in ballots will already be in the postal system, and there will be no way to pull them back.

In an emergency stay application filed over the weekend in United States Postal Service v. California (No. 26A305), Solicitor General D. John Sauer told the Court the window is slamming shut.

“Ballots have already begun to be mailed in North Carolina, and more States will begin the mailing process as the injunction remains in place—including Alabama on September 9 and at least five States the week of September 13,” Sauer wrote. “Once those ballot envelopes enter the mailstream, there is no retrieving them.”

North Carolina started sending absentee ballots last Friday. Alabama is scheduled to start Wednesday. A cluster of additional states, including several that matter in November, begin the week of September 13.

Questions Arise Regarding a ‘Mole’ Inside Muslim Marxist Abdul El-Sayed’s Campaign When This Embarrassing Photo of Him Emerges

An incredibly humiliating image of far-left Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed has left some Americans wondering whether there is someone inside his campaign who is trying to sabotage him.

Last Wednesday, a tornado tore through Detroit’s East Side, causing extensive damage. The following day, El Sayed decided to stage a photo-op in the Motor City while pretending to care about the residents suffering.

Notice the stupid outfit he’s wearing.

On Saturday, former LA Mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt shared a photo of Abdul El-Sayed not only next to a much taller man but also wearing that same pink poncho, which looks like a trash bag. One would think that parts of Michigan were experiencing a monsoon.

But no, it was barely drizzling outside. This caused Pratt to declare that there must be a mole on El-Sayed’s campaign staff because he looks so absurd.

“Oompa Loompa Abdul has a mole on his staff, trying to sabotage him,” Pratt wrote. “First, ignore how dumb it is to put him next to a normal-sized man.”

This is the 2026 Senate Race That Has Democrats Very Worried

Republicans are already favored to keep the Senate in the 2026 midterms, but that is not stopping Democrats from trying to gain control of the chamber. Dems would love nothing more than to control both chambers so they can do all of the crazy things they’ve been promising to their base.

There are some candidates on the left who are so far out, people like James Talarico in Texas and Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, who Democrats and the media are pushing hard, but who are so polarizing that their chances aren’t great.

The race that is really worrying Democrats is New Hampshire.

Republican John Sununu is running against Democrat Chris Pappas and Sununu has some big advantages. He has already been a U.S. Senator for New Hampshire and his last name has massive recognition in the state – his father was governor.

This race would actually be a pick-up for Republicans.

Democrats Have a Midterm Secret They Don’t Want Voters to See

With roughly two months left before the midterm elections, Democrats still don’t have a lock on winning back the majority, despite nearly everything in the political environment supposedly being in their favor. Between history, President Donald Trump’s approval ratings, and gas prices, polls should consistently give them a huge edge. Yet the most recent Harvard-Harris poll showed the GOP ahead by two points among likely voters on the generic congressional ballot.

The reason isn’t complicated once you look at what Democrats are actually campaigning on: nothing.

Think about it. Their entire pitch is about resisting Donald Trump. Ask what they would do with a majority, and you’ll get vague talking points about affordability (something they failed miserably at when they were in power) instead of an actual policy agenda. That’s deliberate, and it’s the same playbook Democrats ran in 2020: sound moderate enough to win the general election, then govern like radicals when you’re in power.

Jesse Watters spelled out exactly why during a heated back-and-forth with Harold Ford Jr. on The Five last week, and it was more revealing than anything Democrats have said about their own strategy. “Your party is nuts, all right,” Watters told Ford. “They don’t even put anything out because it’s so unpopular. What are they going to say? ‘We’re going to abolish ICE’? No one wants to do that, Harold.”

Ford insisted that the DSA, not the DNC, supports abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which isn’t true. “No. The DNC voted to get rid of ICE last week. I think you were on vacation,” Watters quipped.

Here is the REAL STORY About Today’s Arrest at Ohio Democrat Amy Acton at Canfield Fair Stop

As reported earlier, multiple people were injured after an armed man lunged into a tent and pushed his way through the crowd at Democrat Ohio Gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton’s campaign event at the Canfield Fair near Youngstown.

The “alleged” perpetrator has since been identified as Patrick Havas from Ohio.

Havas was charged with two counts of assault for knocking over two elderly people. He was also charged with one count of disorderly conduct.

Democrat Acton posted a statement that was completely misleading. This did not happen.

“While attending the Canfield Fair, an armed individual lunged at Dr. Acton, injuring multiple people,” Acton’s campaign said.

“Dr. Acton and Eric are grateful for the swift and decisive action of law enforcement and are praying for the recovery of those injured. This kind of violence has no place in Ohio. Dr. Acton will always stand up to the chaos, hate and vitriol that pits us against one another,” Acton’s campaign said in a statement on Sunday.

We now have learned more details about the incident, and what was initially reported was completely inaccurate!

Patrick Havas did NOT lunge at Amy Acton. He pushed his way through the crowd in the tent to get a good view up front.

Havas was carrying two guns but did not draw the weapons. He has a permit to carry weapons in the state.

Police only found the weapons after he was arrested.

The weapons were in holsters.  He never drew a weapon.

Amy Acton was never in touched or injured or threatened.

James Talarico Called Out During Interview for Voting Against Ending State Income Taxes, Called Bill Banning Income Tax “Government Overreach at its Worst”

Democratic Texas Senate Nominee James Talarico was called out for his 2019 vote against a bill banning income taxes in Texas during an interview with CBS Texas, where he collapsed and lied about his stances. 

CBS Texas’s Jack Fink noted that Republicans are attacking him for voting against banning the Texas state income tax as a state legislator in 2019, asking, “Why did you do that?”

When Talarico tried to claim that he voted against it because it was “already banned,” Fink fired back, reminding him, “This would have banned it permanently.”

The proposal in question, which raised the bar by requiring a two-thirds majority in both legislative chambers to impose an income tax, was passed by the Texas House and Senate and then approved by voters on the November 2019 ballot.

Talarico then scrambled, giving a word-salad answer, calling the Republicans’ push to codify the existing legislation “duplicative government overreach at its worst,” further accusing Republicans of “trying to grandstand on an issue.” According to Talarico, lowering taxes is “government overreach” now.

He went on to claim that the legislation “did nothing” and that he has “always” been against income taxes, despite voting against ending income tax. “I’m against an income tax in Texas, always have been. But I’m going to be against any lawmaker in any party who’s just trying to do a stunt on the floor instead of solving problems.”

Radical Maine Democrat Senate Nominee Wants the State to Seize Private Property from Mainers: “The State Should Be Able to Come In and Take These Places Over”

Far-left Maine U.S. Senate nominee Troy Jackson just told a crowd of mobile-home park residents that the government should be able to take private property when he doesn’t like who owns it.

At a Labor Day weekend campaign stop Saturday at Blueberry Ridge Mobile Village in Wells, Jackson said the state should step in and take over parks owned by out-of-state companies and private equity firms.

“I feel strongly that, if needed, the state should be able to come in, to take these places over,” Jackson told residents gathered in a backyard, according to the Portland Press Herald.

He added that the state should hold the sites until residents can take them over “so you don’t see these private equity (firms) coming in and making a killing on these parks.”

Video of Jackson’s remarks was circulated by RNC Research.
