Vice President Vance Condemns Election Cancellation in Romania

Speaking at the Munich Security Conference last week, Vice President J.D. Vance condemned the cancellation of Romania’s presidential election by the country’s Constitutional Court, acting on orders from the European Union. In a speech that shocked European observers, Vance said:

“Now we’re at the point, of course, that the situation has gotten so bad that this December, Romania straight-up canceled the results of a presidential election, based on the flimsy suspicions of an intelligence agency and enormous pressure from its continental neighbors.

“Now, as I understand it, the argument was that Russian disinformation had infected the Romanian elections.

“But I’d ask my European friends to have some perspective. You can believe it’s wrong for Russia to buy social media advertisements to influence your elections. We certainly do. You can condemn it on the world stage, even.

“But if your democracy can be destroyed with a few hundred thousand dollars of digital advertising from a foreign country, then it wasn’t very strong to begin with.

Dictator Zelenskiy Continues To Goad Europe To War, Says He ‘Won’t Take NATO Membership Off The Table’, Says Ukrainians Don’t Want Elections

The fact is Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is not a legitimate leader. He has overstayed his electoral mandate for a year. The parliament is not legitimate either.

Zelenskiy will not hold elections because he does not want to lose power, or should we say those who are controlling him do not want to lose power over the war against Russia, and the backroom deals that have been made for natural resources. Zelenskiy also does not want an investigation into the level of obscene grift of Western aid.

Saying Ukrainians do not want an election is a lie. He is extremely unpopular in-country. Much of this animosity towards the Ukrainian President comes from his attacks against Christianity and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

New York Court Considers Law that Would Allow 800,000 Non-Citizens to Vote

A staggering 800,000 non-citizens could reportedly be voting soon in New York City elections, as a court is considering legislation this week that would allow them to register to vote ahead of the city’s elections.

A top New York court is set to hear arguments regarding the matter on Tuesday, according to a report by Politico. This comes after an appellate court struck down Democrats’ efforts to permit non-citizens to vote last year.

If the initiative by Democrats is successful, around 800,000 non-citizens living in New York City will be allowed to vote in city-level elections, such as the upcoming mayoral election this November, the report noted.

Advocates of the legislation that would let non-citizens cast ballots are arguing that these residents are being unfairly taxed.

“In five City Council districts, non-U.S. citizens make up about a third of the adult population,” attorneys reportedly wrote in a filing. “These New Yorkers pay billions in taxes and yet have no say in local policies on public safety, garbage collection, or housing — all matters that affect their day-to-day lives.”

New York City Republicans, meanwhile, remain nonplussed, reminding those involved that the state’s constitution specifically states that voting rights are granted to “every citizen.”

“It’s hard to discuss because it’s crazy it’s even an issue,” New York State Sen. Andrew Lanza (R-24th Senate District) told Politico, adding, “Citizens ought to vote. If you’re not a citizen of a country, you should not have a say.”

After Ceasefire With Russia, Trump and Kellog Want Ukraine To Hold Presidential Elections – Zelensky’s Mandate Expired in Mid-2024

Amid what US President Donald J. Trump called ‘very serious’ – if still-secret – peace discussions with Russia, some aspects of the sought agreement have started to leak to the press.

One of the most relevant so far is that the US wants Ukraine to hold elections by the end of the year, especially if Kiev signs a ceasefire with Russia in the coming months, according to President Trump’s Ukraine envoy.

Reuters reported:

“Keith Kellogg, Trump’s special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, said in an interview that Ukrainian presidential and parliamentary elections, suspended during the war with Russia, ‘need to be done’.

‘Most democratic nations have elections in their time of war. I think it is important they do so’, Kellogg said. ‘I think it is good for democracy. That’s the beauty of a solid democracy, you have more than one person potentially running’.”

Michigan State House Election Integrity Committee Chair Pledges to Look into Systemic Voter Fraud

Rep. Rachelle Smit, the Speaker Pro Tempore of the Michigan House of Representatives, is a Republican from Allegan County on the west side of the Wolverine state. She was one of the few State Representatives nationwide endorsed personally by Donald Trump in the 2022 elections. Smit has been busy rising through the ranks of leadership in the Republican caucus. During her first term, the Republicans were in the minority by one vote, but now they have a 58-52 majority and Smit has been named the Chair of the Election Integrity Committee and the new Speaker, Matt Hall, has empowered the Oversight committee to coordinate with the Election Integrity Committee to issue legislative subpoenas.

Smit will work closely with Oversight Committee Chair Jay DeBoyer to investigate the many credible accusations of systemic voter fraud happening in Michigan since at least the contested 2020 election.

Smit shared with the Gateway Pundit some examples of key voter fraud throughout Michigan that she wanted to address and investigate because she has been convinced since election night 2020 that the election was stolen from President Donald Trump.

“Even though Trump won in 2024, doesn’t mean our elections are secure. We saw suspicious activity across the state. I think the margins of the wide support, the historic majority that Trump won, made it hard to cheat. As the campaign said, they made it ‘too big to rig’ but that means that we have this very limited time in order to fix these problems if we want to keep our democracy alive,” Chair Smit told the Gateway Pundit.

“Every day we let the lie continue that 2020 was a safe and honest election, we normalize the kind of systemic voter fraud that were documented with a thousand affidavits in Michigan, documented in dozens of video interviews, memorialized by hundreds of eyewitnesses, and that clearly appears in the absentee voter registration data, and the absentee ballot data from election day. I intend to investigate and build this record to make it clear what is going on in our election systems.”

Smit had previously been named as the Minority Vice Chair of the Elections Committee when Democrats were in power for the past two years. Now, Smit is the Chair of the Election Integrity Committee, a position given to her by the new Republican Speaker of the House, Rep. Matt Hall.

Romania’s Voided TikTok Election

On November 24, at the southeastern frontier of the European Union and NATO, Romanian voters delivered an unexpected victory to a rightwing populist named Călin Georgescu in the opening round of the country’s presidential election. Always considered a longshot, Georgescu had been polling in the single digits just weeks before surging to claim first place with 23 percent of the vote. The result shocked Romania’s two dominant parties, who found themselves on the sidelines as Georgescu campaigned for the runoff against another anti-establishment candidate who came in second place, Elena Lasconi of the reformist Save Romania party.

Then, on December 4, four days before the deciding round was to take place, Romania’s Supreme Defense Council (CSAT) released a small clutch of heavily redacted documents from the country’s foreign intelligence service. The documents outlined allegations of a Kremlin-backed social media campaign that supported Georgescu in violation of national election laws. “Data were obtained,” the accompanying government statement read, “revealing an aggressive promotion campaign that exploited the algorithms of some social media platforms to increase the popularity of Călin Georgescu at an accelerated pace.”

Within hours, the U.S. State Department expressed its “concern” over the allegations. Two days later, on December 6, Romania’s Constitutional Court unanimously ruled the November 24 vote invalid. “The entire electoral process for electing the President of Romania is annulled,” the court announced, citing government claims of irregularities on social media. Six weeks passed before a redo date of May 4 was finally announced on January 16.

Former EU Official Admits That The EU Canceled The Romanian Election

While accusing Elon Musk of interfering in the upcoming German election, Former European Commissioner Thierry Breton said if the AfD (Alternative for Germany) were to win the election, the European Union could cancel the result just as they did in Romania.

Breton declared in Orwellian fashion that “Freedom of expression is a fundamental element in Europe,” and then he went on to give the example of Romania, where the elections on December 8 were annulled, suggesting that the same thing could happen in Germany. This is the first admission by a European leader that the election in Romania was cancelled at the behest of the European Union.

His admission contradicts the official narrative that the presidential election was stopped by the Romanian judiciary. “Let’s apply our laws in Europe when they risk being circumvented and when they can, if not applied, lead to interference. We did it in Romania and, obviously, we will have to do it, if necessary, in Germany,” Breton said.

Former European Commissioner and Wannabe Tyrant Thierry Breton Says EU May Cancel German Elections if Right-Wing AfD Wins

If you were scandalized by the European powers sweeping in to force Romania to cancel its Presidential Elections out of fear of right-winger Calin Georgescu, you better buckle up, according to former European Commissioner—and wannabe tyrant—Thierry Breton.

A Eurofanatic and enthusiast for censorship online, Breton had to resign from the EU after unsuccessfully trying to keep the Elon Musk/Donald Trump podcast from being broadcast.

In an interview on Thursday, Breton said that Elon Musk’s ‘interference’ in the upcoming elections in Germany ‘could lead to a cancellation of the election results.’

CNews reported (translated from the French):

“This interference is also worrying European leaders. While the results of the first round of the Romanian presidential election have been annulled against a backdrop of Russian interference, the threat of Elon Musk intervening in favor of the AfD in Germany raises fears of the worst.”

Breton said that freedom of speech is a ‘fundamental element’ in Europe, commenting on Musk podcast with Alice Weidel on X – but…

“Thierry Breton nevertheless called for keeping calm in the face of this situation that is developing in Germany, mentioning the example of Romania. ‘Let’s enforce our laws in Europe when they are likely to be circumvented and if they are not enforced can lead to interference. We did it in Romania and it will obviously have to be done, if necessary, in Germany’, he concluded.”

There we have it – he ‘calmly’ suggests overriding the popular vote in Germany if it does not fit his Globalist point of view.

“’From the moment it is broadcast in Europe with a regulated platform, Elon Musk has to follow European rules. With the AfD, we have to follow them. It is obvious that we will take all measures to ensure that he respects the law. If he does not respect it, there are fines and the possibility of ban’, he continued, recalling that Elon Musk must comply with European rules.”

Elon Musk’s AfD Endorsement Triggers EU Push for Stricter Censorship Under Digital Services Act

Elon Musk’s endorsement of Germany’s Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has sparked significant controversy, particularly among European political figures concerned about the potential for what they call “foreign interference” in Germany’s upcoming elections.

Musk, the CEO of X, voiced his support for some of AfD’s policies following a deadly terror attack in Germany. His comments have raised alarm among EU officials, prompting calls for increased scrutiny of the X app and its compliance with the EU’s stringent censorship laws.

Thierry Breton, the European Union’s former Commissioner, took to X to express his outrage over Musk’s support for AfD. In a tweet posted on December 21, Breton accused Musk of being involved in “foreign interference” in Germany’s electoral process, especially given the timing of his comments around the tragic attack in Magdeburg.

Breton, who has been an advocate for strict censorship of social media platforms, and even threatened Elon Musk for over his interview with President Donald Trump, also called for the immediate application of the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA) to combat what he described as “double standards” when it comes to regulating speech online.
