Alaska Senate Decoy Candidate Dan Sullivan DISAPPEARS as US Attorney Announces Surge in FBI Agents to Investigate Peltola Campaign Scandal

US Attorney for Alaska Michael Heyman, held a press conference on Friday afternoon to update the public on his office’s ongoing criminal investigation into Alaska’s Senate ‘spoiler’ candidate Dan J. Sullivan.

The Justice Department has launched an aggressive criminal investigation in Daniel J. Sullivan. Federal prosecutors have issued more than 40 subpoenas.

News of the criminal investigation comes after The New York Times confirmed that Mary Peltola’s campaign recruited the decoy Dan J Sullivan to confuse Alaska voters.

Democrat operatives in Mary Peltola’s campaign worked to register a man named Daniel J. Sullivan as Dan S. Sullivan (the incumbent Senator’s name) as a GOP challenger.

The Times reported that the plan involved traveling to “far-flung Alaskan communities and the appearance of a mysterious Midwestern operative, who traversed the state using a fake name and made his pitch to would-be candidates over beers at brew pubs.”

“The plan worked. This spring, a retired teacher from a tiny fishing village along the Alaska Panhandle, reachable only by air and sea, announced his candidacy for Senate. His name was Dan J. Sullivan,” the New York Times reported.

Michael Heyman provided an update on the ongoing investigation into Mary Peltola’s campaign.

“Every Alaskan deserves a fair election and they’re going to get one, Michael Heyman said. “We will not let anyone or any group undermine this election,” Michael Heyman said.

“This new information has resulted in a significant surge of law enforcement assets to Alaska, and I have assigned several attorneys in my office to assist in the matter as well,” he said.

PSYOP: Washington Post Claims Trump Voters See Abdul El-Sayed as an ‘America First’ Candidate

Just yesterday, the Gateway Pundit highlighted a clip of writer Walter Kirn saying that everything that happens before the election is a psyop.

And here is a perfect example of what he was talking about.

The Washington Post is claiming that Trump voters see Abdul El-Sayed as an ‘America first’ candidate.

Does anyone believe this? It doesn’t even make sense. All the guy ever talks about is the Middle East.

From the story:

In Dearborn, the first Arab American-majority city, many Trump 2024 voters describe El-Sayed as an “America First” candidate due to his opposition to unconditional military aid to Israel and focus on the domestic economy.

El-Sayed himself recently embraced the America First label in a campaign ad on the conservative Fox News and Newsmax networks.

“Mike Rogers will put Israel first,” said Michigan voter Mustapha El-Jaroudi, 27.

Having voted for Trump twice, El-Jaroudi now calls the president “a con artist” who betrayed his campaign refrain of “no new wars.”

So the Washington Post found this person and built a story around him.

Alaska’s Senate Decoy Candidate Dan Sullivan Refuses to Go Under Oath as DOJ Issues Flurry of Subpoenas in Expanding Criminal Investigation

Alaska’s Senate decoy candidate Daniel J. Sullivan refused to go under oath during the initial investigation, Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy revealed on Thursday.

News of the criminal investigation comes after The New York Times confirmed that Mary Peltola’s campaign recruited the decoy Dan J Sullivan to confuse Alaska voters.

Democrat operatives in Mary Peltola’s campaign worked to register a man named Daniel J. Sullivan as Dan S. Sullivan (the incumbent Senator’s name) as a GOP challenger.

The Times reported that the plan involved traveling to “far-flung Alaskan communities and the appearance of a mysterious Midwestern operative, who traversed the state using a fake name and made his pitch to would-be candidates over beers at brew pubs.”

“The plan worked. This spring, a retired teacher from a tiny fishing village along the Alaska Panhandle, reachable only by air and sea, announced his candidacy for Senate. His name was Dan J. Sullivan,” the New York Times reported.

On Thursday, it was reported that the Justice Department ramped up its investigation into how Daniel J. Sullivan appeared on the Alaska ballot as a spoiler and issued a flurry of subpoenas in the last 24 hours. According to Fox News, more than 30 subpoenas have been issued.

It was also revealed on Thursday that the decoy Dan Sullivan hasn’t even done any campaign events.

Texas Republican Cites Little-Known Rule That Could Stop DSA Radicals From Being Sworn Into Congress

Texas Republican Rep. Keith Self believes he knows a way to keep DSA radicals from being sworn in to Congress, if they win their races. He should reach out to Rep. Tim Burchett of Tennessee, who is also looking into this.

Rep. Self believes these candidates cannot swear an oath to protect and defend the Constitution because their own platform describes their desire to destroy it.

How can they swear to protect something that they want to destroy?

FOX News reports:

Little-known rule could stop socialists from being sworn into Congress

A little-known congressional maneuver could block members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) from being sworn in as members of the House of Representatives next year, even if they win their elections on Tuesday.

Members-elect must swear an oath to uphold the Constitution before they can become full members of the House. At the beginning of a new Congress, that oath is typically taken en masse by all 435 members, led by the House speaker.

But an argument circulating in conservative circles posits that any member-elect can challenge another member-elect’s right to be sworn in, provided they have compiled evidence that that person would not uphold their oath. That would then lead to House-wide deliberations followed by a vote on whether that member-elect has a right to be sworn in.

In the case of DSA members, one potential argument could be the group’s platform calling to scrap the current U.S. Constitution and draft a new one. Several DSA members and self-proclaimed democratic socialists have already won primaries across the country.

Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas, suggested to Fox News Digital that he could invoke the maneuver.

“You cannot swear an oath to support and defend the Constitution while actively working to destroy it. The oath of office is not just words you say at a ceremony. It is a belief. It is an oath to our country and our fellow countrymen,” Self told Fox News Digital.

Trump Supporter Stabbed At Rally; Police Release New Details

A chaotic confrontation outside President Donald Trump’s Ohio rally sparked claims that a supporter had been stabbed, but local police are pushing back, revealing that the apparent weapon was actually an officer’s pocketknife caught in the man’s shirt.

The incident unfolded Wednesday evening outside the Shoemaker Center at Ohio University Chillicothe, where Trump was addressing supporters ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm elections.

Video circulating across social media appeared to show a knife protruding from a man’s back as frightened onlookers gathered around him and demanded answers.

But the Chillicothe Police Department says the alarming footage does not show a stabbing.

“There was no stabbing,” police Capt. Micheal Short told Newsweek.

According to authorities, an officer was attempting to separate two individuals involved in an altercation when the retention clip on the officer’s pocketknife became tangled in one person’s shirt.

The department confirmed that the knife never opened, contradicting widespread claims that someone had been attacked with a blade.

The explanation came after footage of the confrontation spread online, prompting accusations of political violence against Trump supporters.

Conservative activist Tyler Bowyer was among those who shared the video, initially suggesting that an anti-Trump individual had stabbed a rally attendee.

“Apparently some crazy anti-Trump person stabbed a Trump supporter outside his rally in Ohio,” Bowyer wrote.

“This is more of the insane political violence stoked by the Left. Pray for the person who was stabbed.”

However, police have not substantiated the allegation that an anti-Trump demonstrator stabbed anyone during the confrontation.

The viral recording captured the confusion surrounding the incident as the man questioned officers about what appeared to be lodged in his clothing.

“Is there a knife in my back?” he asked.

“I think I’ve been stabbed.”

An officer subsequently examined the man’s back with a flashlight while nearby spectators reacted to the unusual scene.

One woman exclaimed, “Oh my god” after noticing the knife handle protruding from the man’s black T-shirt.

Another bystander pointed toward someone nearby and demanded, “Arrest that m**********, he stabbed him.”

The confusion quickly escalated into a confrontation between spectators and officers as people demanded that someone be taken into custody.

The man eventually sat along the sidewalk while witnesses continued recording the scene.

Iran, the Midterms, and the Myth of Government by the People

With the Israeli election this week and America’s midterms next Tuesday, President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have reportedly spent weeks debating not whether to restart their war with Iran, but when they should do it.

Netanyahu reportedly wanted to renew the bombing before Israeli or American voters went to the polls. He has officially denied that, but it fits his well-documented strategy of using an ongoing war to shield himself from political and legal accountability.

Trump, meanwhile, has publicly ruled out another US attack until after November 3. But, according to several recent reports, the two governments are genuinely preparing for another major round of strikes once the American election is over.

Already, this episode has made the narrative put forward by both leaders even more ridiculous. After all, if renewed attacks on Iran are as necessary to protect the American people, as both have claimed, why would that necessity depend on whether those people have already voted?

The truth is, as I laid out here earlier this year, that the war on Iran is not a drastic but necessary measure to thwart an imminent threat from a rogue regime. It’s just another military action, on top of all the others our government is carrying out, that is beneficial for a coalition of unique, well-connected interest groups—from the Israeli politicians who want to direct American power towards weakening their main regional rival to the domestic weapons companies getting paid to restock America’s dwindling munitions stockpiles.

The narrative that Iran is months or even weeks away from starting a nuclear war with two far more heavily-armed nuclear powers; that they are not just willing but are actively trying as hard as they can to sacrifice their entire country to take out a few Israeli and American cities; and that this will be carried out with weapons and weapons-delivery technology that they do not possess and are not close to getting is obviously not the truth. But it is the most effective way the pro-war coalition has discovered so far for getting a sufficient portion of the public to at least passively accept a war they all want for reasons they’re not as willing to publicize.

That effectiveness, however, has clearly waned in recent months. Today, around two-thirds of Americans disapprove of Trump’s Iran policy, with widespread concerns growing about the impact on energy prices and all the terrible consequences that brings. This is a deeply unpopular war. And yet, it is set not only to continue but to escalate in the coming weeks.

This also highlights another, even more important aspect of this story that is getting far less attention than the war’s unpopularity: the sheer inadequacy of democratic elections as constraints on political power.

According to the standard narrative that most of us are taught growing up, for most of human history people have suffered under kings, oligarchs, and rulers of all kinds who used political power selfishly. Wealth and power were concentrated in the hands of a small sliver of society, while everyone else was forced to live in either literal servitude or material conditions no better than servitude. However, this was supposed to have changed with the invention of democracy.

Florida governor candidate David Jolly suggests boys have a constitutional right to play on girls’ sports teams

David Jolly, a former Republican congressman who is now running as a Democrat against U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds to replace Ron DeSantis as Florida governor, is raising eyebrows in the Sunshine State with his suggestion that boys have a constitutional right to play on girls’ sports teams.

His comments came during the “To the Contrary” podcast Charlie Sykes last year, and were unearthed Wednesday by Libs of TikTok.

Sykes had asked Jolly outright: “How do you navigate that issue?”

“I fundamentally think it’s an issue for the courts,” the Democrat replied. “And I don’t think one rule should apply to everything.”

“I think some latitude among the sports leagues to make decisions, but ultimately, it’s a constitutional question that the courts are gonna have to decide.”

Jolly continued: “I think where I fundamentally diverge from Republicans on this issue is you can immediately see where leaders and voters are either working in good faith towards equity or in bad faith against it. This is a new and novel moment for us as a country.

“It’s OK to wrestle with it. But you’re either wrestling to resolve it on behalf of all Americans, their fundamental and constitutional rights, their respect and their dignity, or you’re working to humiliate them. And I think it’s pretty disgusting what we’ve seen from Republicans in the past several years on this.

“I don’t think we need to knock down that youth soccer player who is working with their family and their doctor on whatever their current crisis is personally. I think it can be supportive of them to allow them to play in youth sports.

“If it’s a question of Olympic trials, obviously I think you get too far down the road there saying, Maybe it’s a bridge too far to let trains athletes in certain sports, but let’s leave it to the sports leagues.”

Donalds is a staunch opponent of biological males competing in girls’ or women’s sports, and his campaign posted video Wednesday of the Republican blasting Jolly’s stance.

“My opponent’s somebody who says it’s OK for boys to be in girls’ sports. It’s just him and the WNBA,” Donalds said.

“They’re the only two that think this is OK. Everybody else has said, ‘No, that’s actually quite stupid.’ Even the Europeans are realizing that’s dumb. But this is where the radical Democrats have gone in America today, and it’s sad to see.”

Clinton Judge Denies DOJ’s Bid to Force California to Remove 20,000 Ballots Mailed to Non-Citizens

US District Court Judge David Carter, a Clinton appointee, denied the Justice Department’s effort to force California to remove 20,000 ballots mailed to non-citizens.

The Justice Department recently sued California and Los Angeles County over 20,000 suspected non-citizens registered to vote who have already been mailed ballots.

First Assistant US Attorney Bill Essayli said that voter rolls were compared to USCIS immigration, Social Security and passport records.

On Monday, the Ninth Circuit Court denied the government’s appeal because the DOJ improperly skipped over the district court judge so the DOJ was forced to attend a hearing on Tuesday with Judge David Carter.

On Tuesday evening, before he issued his decision, Judge Carter warned First Assistant US Attorney Bill Essayli and told that it would be wise that “any threats” to California elected employees “cease immediately.”

On Wednesday evening, as expected, Judge Carter denied the Justice Department’s request for a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO).

The Judge said that the Department of Justice can prosecute the individuals.

Writer Walter Kirn: ‘Everything That Happens Before the Election is a Psyop’

You may know Walter Kirn from his appearances on the Greg Gutfeld show, but he is also a pretty well known author. Kirn wrote the 2001 novel ‘Up in the Air’ which was made into a major Hollywood movie in 2009.

During a recent podcast appearance, Kirn suggested that everything that is happening before the midterm election is a psyop (psychological operation).

It is almost impossible to argue against his point. We see it everywhere, in the media, in polling, in speeches from Democrats and their supporters. It is a war for your mind. The left wants you to believe that a Democrat victory is inevitable.

Transcript via Jay Plemons:

Walter Kirn: Everything that happens before the election is a PSYOP.

KIRN: “Everything that happens, the polling, the rumors, the word of mouth, the social media posts, the trends, the little anecdotes that get repeated and go viral. Everything is subordinate to that election. And none of it is true in and of itself. It’s all instrumental.”

“Not only don’t I trust the polls, I do trust the polls. I trust them to be nudging people in all the ways that polls can for all the people who can pay for polls.”

“The news now is all about behavior modification. It’s not about truth.”

For the next week, every poll or viral story you see, don’t ask if it’s true. Ask what it’s trying to get you to do.

Trump Supporter STABBED Outside Ohio Rally While President Trump Was Speaking, Shocking Videos Captured Attack and Knife Still in Victim’s Back

A Trump supporter was stabbed in the back outside President Donald Trump’s midterm rally in Chillicothe, Ohio, on Wednesday night while the president was on stage speaking to the crowd at the Shoemaker Center on the Ohio University Chillicothe campus.

Video posted by Derek Myers shows the victim with a knife still protruding from the left side of his lower back as police officers rush to detain a person nearby.

The stabbing is not shown in this video, which is of the immediate aftermath.

Another witness video captured the fight and stabbing, which appears to have happened as police were attempting to break it up.

It is unclear how the fight began.

The Scioto Valley Guardian confirmed that police detained one individual.

Officials had not released the victim’s condition, the identity of the person detained, any charges, or confirmed any details about the incident as of late Wednesday evening.

The report notes that police had removed protesters from inside the venue earlier in the evening.

Tyler Bowyer of Turning Point Action, whose founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated on a Utah college campus, shared the video and wrote that “some crazy anti-Trump lunatic stabbed a Trump supporter.”

“This is more of the insane political violence stoked by the Left,” Bowyer added. “Pray for the person who was stabbed.”
