Trump Sues Des Moines Register and Pollster J. Ann Selzer for ‘Brazen Election Interference’ After Fraudulent Iowa Poll Shows Kamala Harris Ahead

President-elect Donald Trump is taking legal action against the Des Moines Register and its pollster, J. Ann Selzer, accusing them of “brazen election interference” and fraud.

On Monday morning, President-elect Donald Trump announced his intention to sue the Des Moines Register and its pollster, J. Ann Selzer, after Selzer’s manipulated final poll, published just days before the 2024 election, falsely claimed Kamala Harris was leading Trump in Iowa—a prediction proven wildly inaccurate when Trump secured a decisive 13-point victory in the state.

By late evening, Trump followed through, filing the lawsuit in Polk County, Iowa, under the Iowa Consumer Fraud Act.

The lawsuit targets the Des Moines Register, Selzer & Company, and the newspaper’s corporate parent, Gannett, Fox News first reported.

Trump’s attorneys argue the poll was a deliberate and orchestrated attempt to deceive voters and sway the election in Harris’s favor.

“Contrary to reality and defying credulity, defendants’ Harris Poll was published three days before Election Day and purported to show Harris leading President Trump in Iowa by three points; President Trump ultimately won Iowa by over thirteen points,” the lawsuit states.

The suit highlights Selzer’s reputation as a so-called “gold standard” pollster—an image that the media has long used to lend credibility to her work. Yet, as Trump’s lawyers point out, Selzer’s track record is far from spotless.

“Selzer had prided herself on a mainstream reputation for accuracy despite several far less publicized egregious polling misses in favor of Democrats” and said she “would have the public believe it was merely a coincidence that one of the worst polling misses of her career came just days before the most consequential election in memory, was leaked and happened to go against the Republican candidate.”

“The Harris Poll was no ‘miss’ but rather an attempt to influence the outcome of the 2024 Presidential Election,” the lawsuit states, adding that “defendants and their cohorts in the Democrat Party hoped that the Harris Poll would create a false narrative of inevitability for Harris in the final week of the 2024 Presidential Election.”

“Instead, the November 5 election was a monumental victory for President Trump in both the Electoral College and the Popular Vote, an overwhelming mandate for his America First principles, and the consignment of the radical socialist agenda to the dustbin of history.”

According to the lawsuit, the Democrat Party and its media allies were desperate for an artificial boost ahead of the 2024 election, given Kamala Harris’s undeniable weaknesses as a candidate.

Journo Mark Halperin Calls Coverup of Biden’s Mental Decline ‘One of the Biggest Scandals in American History’

Journalist Mark Halperin said the Democrat Party and media’s coverup of Joe Biden’s mental decline over the years was “one of the biggest scandals” in US history.

Halperin told Fox News host Jesse Watters on Friday that the Democrats and legacy media knew of Biden’s declining mental acuity for years but dared not talk about for fear of helping Donald Trump get elected.

“But I will say that the donors and the Democratic officials who are now so outraged about the conduct, as you said, the press knew all this, so did they,” Halperin said. “They stood silent when Joe Biden’s operatives crushed Bobby Kennedy and Dean Phillips and rigged the rules. They stood silent as he stayed in the race and decided he was going to run for another term. They stood silent when Kamala Harris was given the nomination without a shot being fired.”

‘Moral Stain’: Black Church Coalition Demands MSNBC Suspend Al Sharpton Over Undisclosed Kamala Harris Campaign Payments

A black church organization is calling on MSNBC to suspend and investigate host Al Sharpton over donations his organization took from Kamala Harris’s campaign.

The National Black Church Initiative, a coalition that says it represents 27.7 million people and 150,000 black churches across the country, said Wednesday that the payment to Sharpton’s group “puts a moral stain on the integrity of the black Church.” The group, which said it is “very concerned” by the “growing scandal,” urged MSNBC to “launch an investigation” and expressed support for “Rev. Sharpton’s suspension until the investigation is complete.”

The Washington Free Beacon reported that the Harris campaign made donations of $250,000 on September 5 and October 1 to Sharpton’s National Action Network, the nonprofit he founded in 1991. Sharpton aired an October 3 segment featuring Harris on his MSNBC show PoliticsNation and conducted a favorable interview with her on October 20.

Founded in 1991, the National Black Church Initiative says it represents 27.7 million churchgoers across the country, with a mission of reducing “racial, social and … economic disparities” and preserving “the authority of the black church’s voice.” The group has focused on health issues pertaining to black Americans and has criticized Sharpton before for taking donations from tobacco companies while opposing a ban on menthol cigarettes, which are popular among black smokers.

The initiative’s president, the Rev. Anthony Evans, said Sharpton is “loved and admired by many in our coalition.”

“But that does [not] take away from the fact he is facing significant moral and journalism ethics [concerns] regarding this payment or donation to the National Action Network,” Evans went on. “In addition, Rev. Sharpton is a minister of the Gospel. This payment does not look good for a man supposed to represent integrity.”

Sharpton did not disclose the donations to viewers or to MSNBC executives, according to a spokesman for the network.

The host has not addressed the scandal, and MSNBC has refused to comment on whether he was punished for failing to disclose the apparent conflict of interest. In 2010, MSNBC suspended network hosts Joe Scarborough and Keith Olbermann for donating to political campaigns, saying that the payments violated the network’s policies that require employees to disclose political activity to company executives.

The Society of Professional Journalists, a prominent journalism ethics group, has criticized MSNBC and Sharpton over the conflict of interest, calling it a “black eye” for the network and the media industry as a whole.

Kamala Harris’s bizarre message for her supporters incurs derision and befuddlement

Kamala Harris’s catastrophic billion-dollar campaign for president came to a crashing end on November 8th, 2024.

Most humans are likely to have heaved a sigh of relief that it was an end, or at least a pause, to cringe-inducing utterances of the nation’s foremost word salad chef.

Alas, those hopes were blown to smithereens yesterday when a new video with Kamala Harris was released that contained a message for her supporters following her emphatic defeat.

Usually, such messages are loaded with “inspiring” cliches.

You would think it would be ‘never stop believing in yourself’, ‘united we stand’, ‘never give up’, etc. or the favorite following a routing — ‘it’s always darkest before the dawn’.

But that wasn’t the case.

The only virtue that can be conferred upon the following video is its duration: it ran for just 28 seconds.

But the good news ends there: the content of Kamala’s utterances makes these 28 seconds seem like 28 hours.

Explosive Report Exposes Biden-Harris Regime Weaponizes Dept. of Education Against Christian Colleges and Universities

The Biden-Harris regime has turned the Department of Education (DOE) into a battering ram against Christian colleges and universities.

According to an explosive report by the American Principles Project (APP), the DOE’s Office of Enforcement, resurrected by President Biden, has disproportionately targeted faith-based institutions, imposing massive fines and creating a hostile regulatory environment.

According to the report:

Days before his inauguration then President-elect Joe Biden wrote in a statement that “ensuring freedom of religion remains as important as ever” and that government must safeguard “bedrock protections.” No one should be “afraid to attend a religious service, school, or community center,” the statement asserts.

That statement is not representative of what Joe Biden and Kamala Harris actually believe. Since assuming office, the administration has waged an unprecedented assault against Christian colleges, universities, and students, while systematically protecting “elite” public and private institutions, foisting woke ideology on reluctant students, and enabling antisemitic, violent protests on campuses across the nation.

It’s done so by weaponizing the Department of Education’s Office of Enforcement—an obscure subsidiary of the Office of Federal Student Aid (FSA) that was created with the implicit intent of shutting down schools and programs that do not conform to the administration’s radical agenda.

This campaign, which has been advanced under the auspices of protecting students from “predatory” colleges and universities, threatens to erode traditional family values from higher education and financially squeeze and shut down schools that align with Christians’ values and beliefs.

Data analysis from the American Principles Project reveals that nearly 70% of enforcement actions by the Department of Education targeted faith-based or career-focused schools, which represent less than 10% of the student population.

Institutions like Grand Canyon University (GCU) and Liberty University—two of the country’s largest Christian universities—faced record-setting fines of $37.7 million and $14 million, respectively.

Kamala Harris Megadonor Says Campaign Not Taking Responsibility for Misspending a Fortune and Losing

Lindi Li was on the Kamala Harris finance committee. She not only donated large sums of her own money to the campaign, she convinced others to do so, mostly based on the fact that the campaign kept telling her that they were going to win.

This week, Li participated in a call with Kamala Harris, campaign officials and top donors. Li was hoping that someone would address the fact that they misspent almost two billion dollars but according to her, no one is taking any responsibility.

Li even claims that Kamala Harris spent part of the call talking about Thanksgiving recipes.

Just yesterday, another major donor said that this lack of financial accountability makes Kamala Harris ‘disqualified forever.’

News Nation reports:

Harris campaign is ‘self-congratulatory’: DNC committee member

A DNC finance committee member said the Harris campaign was “self-congratulatory” during a call with top donors Tuesday, making no mention of what the party could have done better.

Lindy Li, a member of the DNC finance committee, told NewsNation she was “stunned that there was no sort of postmortem or analysis of the disastrous campaign.”

“It was just patting each other on the back,” Li said. “They praised Harris as a visionary leader, and at one moment during the call, she was talking about her Thanksgiving recipe.”…

The $267 Million Price Tag on Censorship Efforts Under Biden

A lot has been said about how the outgoing US administration’s focus on censorship (“combating misinformation“); it negatively affected online speech and now a number of federal spending documents examined by a non-profit show the price of that effort – or at least a part of it.

A new report prepared by OpenTheBooks details the grants the Biden-Harris administration started giving out as it took over in early 2021, and this doesn’t include the taxpayer money spent internally, by various departments and agencies.

The grants figure comes to $267 million – a massive increase (44 times more) compared to the $6.7 million that Trump’s first administration set aside for the same purpose.

The grants went toward researching what the outgoing White House chose to consider misinformation, which in many cases resulted in third parties – organization, academia, etc., – promoting and/or censoring speech, opponents of the practice say, effectively (and unconstitutionally) – as government proxies.

Covid was one of the major topics covered by this type of “research” and here, the report notes, the approach was both to offer monetary incentives, and to pressure companies operating social networks in order to promote government narratives, but also shut down not only criticism, but even skepticism.

To make matters worse – many of these issues whose official explanation was treated as gospel, resulting in people getting deplatformed and demonetized if they questioned these interpretations, shortly after turned out to be anything but “misinformation” – such as the origin of the virus, the efficacy of mask-wearing, social distancing, the safety of vaccines, etc.

But, $127 million of US taxpayers’ money in total was used to enforce those narratives, through pro-vaccine advocacy, studies meant to stop “misinformation” on the internet, and the like.

Democrat Megadonor Says the Way Kamala Harris Blew Through More Than a Billion Dollars ‘Disqualifies Her Forever’

Democrat megadonor John Morgan just appeared on News Nation with Chris Cuomo and blasted Kamala Harris and her campaign for blowing more than a billion in campaign funds.

Like many Democrat donors this cycle, Morgan seems insulted by the way the Harris campaign spent money on lavish spectacles, seemingly just for the sake of spending it. He points out that the Harris campaign was running non-stop ads in places where everyone knew she had no chance of winning.

Morgan ultimately goes on to say that this ‘disqualifies her forever’ and suggests that this will haunt her political career no matter what she does. Pretty harsh words from a Democrat.

Partial transcript via the Vigilant Fox on Twitter/X:

Democrat mega-donor John Morgan says Kamala Harris’s political future is OVER after she completely botched her campaign.

“If you can’t run a campaign, you can’t run a country.”

When Chris Cuomo asked him if someone stole the donation money, Morgan replied, “Well, maybe legally.”

The Kamala Harris campaign spent money so recklessly that it wasted money on presidential ads in places like Florida.

“She had all this money coming in. She had all these consultants, and if you don’t run the ads, you don’t get paid for the buy. They were running ads in Florida, where I live, nonstop. And I’m like, why? I mean, are they running in Alabama and Idaho, too? And I’ll tell you why. If you don’t run the ads, the buyer doesn’t get paid,” Morgan explained.

Biden-Harris HHS secretary testifies about missing illegal migrant children, and his admissions will sicken you

If I didn’t know any better, I’d think that a new(ish) Health and Human Services rule adopted in April of this year, which made the vetting process for potential sponsors of unaccompanied alien children (UACs) a whole lot less intrusive for the adult applicant(s), was a strategic change to promote the trafficking of children, because that’s exactly what it’s done, and Xavier Becerra is to blame.

How can he possibly rationalize a process that doesn’t implement rigorous criminal background checks for every single potential sponsor? If you read the rule, standard protocol is a quick scan of the sex offender registry and a public records check… but FBI background checks only apply to “some” potential sponsors.

Law of unintended consequences… or a natural progression of a deliberately planned scheme?

Yesterday, Becerra testified at Capitol Hill before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement, and his admissions will sicken you—when Texas’s Chip Roy quizzed Becerra on whether or not he could account for the roughly 400,000 UACs whose whereabouts are reportedly unknown, requiring he respond with either a “yes” or a “no,” Becerra sidestepped and launched into a filibustering word salad.

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.
