A Kentucky high school basketball coach has voluntarily resigned after footage was posted to Facebook showing him cursing more than two dozen times while speaking to young athletes.

Lynn Camp High School’s boys’ basketball coach Tyler Wagner was shown in two videos using explicit language with his team in the locker room, criticizing them for playing fearfully and lacking “common sense” on the court.

“There’s not s*** out there. We’re getting f***ed in the ass by a bunch of f***ing kids who want it more than we do,” Wagner said in the first video. “That’s why they’re f***ing top-10 in the region.”

“That’s why we’re bottom of the f***ing scale,” he continued. “[Because] we think we just deserve it … that’s why you’re gettin’ your ass kicked every goddamned day,” the coach added.

In the second video, Wagner specified that his players were being too apprehensive in their defensive play and seemed afraid to go hard at the other team’s basket.

“Don’t just f***ing stop! Like, what are we doing?! We have no common sense. We’re playing back so far that we can’t f***ing do nothing!” he complained.

“What is it, 12 points, 14 points in a f***ing half? In a f***ing half?! 14 f***ing points! Quit being scared when you go in there and just launching it up.”

‘I allowed the competitive environment to get the best of me.’

Wagner apologized in a statement, noting that the video was actually from 2023, as the latest season hasn’t started yet.

“The language that I used in this video is not acceptable in any manner. I allowed the competitive environment to get the best of me and for that I am truly sorry,” Wagner wrote, per the Lexington Herald-Leader. “I have fully accepted that what I did was not right, and I pledge to be better.”

A Knox County, Kentucky, spokesperson said county officials had been “informed of a situation showing a coach inappropriately discussing issues with players.”

“We are unable to discuss specific personnel matters. The coach has since voluntarily resigned from the position,” the spokesperson confirmed.

Comments on the Facebook videos were seemingly entirely split between the two sexes, with women generally saying the coach went too far while men chalked it up to tough love.

“Coaches lead by example and are supposed to teach them how to be respectable young men,” one woman wrote.

“This is ridiculous. … You will not make these boys tough or play better cussing them like this,” another said.

“This coach needs to be fired!” a different woman replied.

Men’s comments were as follows:

“[It’s so] when/if they go to college they don’t get their feelings hurt because college coaches are 10000 times worse than this,” a user named Brandon said.

“So when they become adults and go off to college they know how to handle it,” another man wrote as a reason for the coach’s language.

“This is light compared to my coaches coming up,” another Facebook user said.

More women supported the coach than men who condemned him, with at least one woman stating that she wasn’t familiar with the locker-room dynamic of men’s sports until it was explained to her.

“At first I was upset with the whole thing until my husband explained to me. He could dial down the cussing but he’s doing what a coach does.”

Election Day is here, and the stakes for America could not be higher. With just one day to go, pollsters are putting out all kinds of predictions, from neck-and-neck races to forecasts of a sweeping blowout. The picture is murky, and even polling expert Nate Silver acknowledges that critical factors could push this election in either direction. We need to pay attention.

Let’s start with one of the most telling indicators in American politics: to what extent the American people believe the country is on the right track. President Ronald Reagan made this question a crucial barometer in his 1980 presidential campaign, and it has remained a crucial campaign question ever since. According to CNN, only 28% of Americans currently believe the country is headed in the right direction. Gallup’s version is even more dismal at 26%. That is a startingly low number, especially given its historical precedent.

The low “right direction” numbers indicate widespread dissatisfaction with the status quo — a red flag for the Democrats.

Since 1980, in the 11 presidential elections in which the incumbent party has lost the White House, only 25% of Americans on average believed that the country was headed in the right direction. The lowest point was 11% in 2008, right before the financial crisis hammered the nation. The result? A massive win for the Democrats, led by Barack Obama, which flipped the White House from Republican to Democrat. What’s the takeaway? When “right direction” numbers are this low, the incumbent party historically struggles to retain the White House.

But we can’t rely on historical precedent alone to predict this election, and here’s why: Kamala Harris is running instead of the actual incumbent, Joe Biden. But history still has some lessons to offer. When sitting presidents decide not to run for re-election, it rarely ends well for their party — especially for Democrats. This situation has only happened seven times in U.S. history: four for Democrats and three for Republicans.

All four times Democrats opted for a successor — James K. Polk, James Buchanan, Harry Truman, and Lyndon B. Johnson — their party lost the White House. By contrast, when Republicans have done the same, their party’s successor won. Rutherford B. Hayes, Theodore Roosevelt, and Calvin Coolidge all managed to hand off power successfully.

The lesson? Democrats fare poorly when they try to swap out an incumbent president.

Where does that leave us in 2024? The low “right direction” numbers indicate widespread dissatisfaction with the status quo — a red flag for the Democrats. If that historical precedent doesn’t keep Kamala Harris from the White House, perhaps Joe Biden not running for re-election will.

To prevent Kamala Harris from occupying the Oval Office, one certain action remains: voting. Pollsters predict this will be one of the closest elections in our nation’s history. That outcome isn’t inevitable, though. We all have the power to shape it by exercising our sacred right to vote. The future of our republic depends on it.

Heavily Democratic cities are now in the habit of boarding up windows and shuttering businesses ahead of political events that might upset local leftists.

That is certainly the case with Washington, D.C., which
erected “Black Lives Matter”-branded plywood boards and fencing outside of stores ahead of the 2020 election and saw businesses brace for chaos again when Roe v. Wade was overturned. Some businesses in the city also took precautions ahead of the January 2017 anti-Trump riots, where all the rioters ultimately got off scot-free, as well as ahead of the Jan. 6, 2021, protests, where rioters were held to a different standard.

Possibly anticipating more chaos in the District of Columbia, where 92.1% of the vote in the last presidential election went to Joe Biden, businesses are once again reinforcing their windows and preparing for potentially “fiery but mostly peaceful protests.”

Resident Stacy Snyder
told WJLA-TV, “Hopefully no riots. Nobody wants to see anyone get hurt or any damage. After what happened last time, I guess, you have to be prepared for anything. So, like I said, better safe than sorry.”

Ebony Boger, who works downtown, indicated she recently received an email from building management indicating it was going to fortify the exterior.

“It’s not shocking. I’m kind of used to it. I think they should do it,” said Boger.

The managers of various buildings confirmed to WJLA that the election was the reason behind the plywood reinforcement.

According to the Washington Post, some business and property owners have also boosted their private security in anticipation of possible riots and looting.

‘If people choose to riot, I feel like we need to listen to the people.’

Leon Beresford, executive vice president of Admiral Security Services, indicated that his company, which provides security to 150 commercial office buildings in D.C., is mobilizing around 2,000 guards in time for Election Day.

“People would rather be overprepared and have nothing happen, as opposed to the alternative,” said Eric Jones, vice president of government affairs for the Apartment and Office Building Association of Metropolitan Washington.

Washington Metropolitan Police Department Chief Pamela A. Smith
said at a press conference last week, “I want to be very clear: We will not tolerate any violence of any kind. We will not tolerate any riots. We will not tolerate the destruction of property. We will not tolerate any unlawful behavior. Offenders will be arrested and will be held accountable.”

Smith indicated that well over 3,000 police officers will be working 12-hour shifts through the election.

Storefronts in Portland, Oregon — another heavily Democratic city — have similarly disappeared behind protective boards. While big-name businesses like Chase Bank have reinforced their establishments, some have alternatively chosen to trust the mob.

Katherine Morgan, the owner of the relatively new Grand Gestures Books,
told KATU-TV, “When I got the business, the windows were boarded up because of the protest, and they just never came down. For me, if people choose to riot, I feel like we need to listen to the people.”

Morgan indicated she won’t be boarding up her establishment, noting, “I’m someone who believes in protesting, I’m someone who believes in doing whatever you can for your voice to be heard.”

Real estate developer Jordan Schnitzer
told the Oregonian he is praying his building will go unscathed.

“If your sports team loses, do you go out and break windows?” said Schnitzer. “In this day and age to see that this type of behavior in America is so commonplace is heartbreaking.”

Portland Police Chief Bob Day said last week, “We never can eliminate risk, but the confidence that I have in our community, the confidence I have in our law enforcement response, I’m really hopeful that that’s not going to be necessary.”

Former President Donald Trump secured a free election promotion on NBC following complaints that the network attempted to give opponent Kamala Harris a boost with voters by featuring her on “Saturday Night Live.” The network was accused of violating the Federal Communications Commission’s “equal time” rule.

Trump’s advertisement aired on Sunday evening after NASCAR’s Xfinity 500 and the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings-Indianapolis Colts football game.

‘Just remember, Kamala and her friends broke it.’

The ad featured a “special message” from Trump to sports fans.

“We’re two days away from the most important election in the history of our country. We’ve got to save our country, and it needs saving — it’s in very bad shape,” Trump stated. “The worst economic numbers in generations were just announced two days ago. We’re losing jobs; we’re losing everything, including viability.”

Trump warned viewers that America is currently headed toward an economic depression.

“We’ve never seen anything like it, at least for the last 40 years,” he continued.

Trump called for closing the borders, lowering taxes, and eliminating inflation.

“Just remember, Kamala and her friends broke it,” he added. “I’ll fix it.”

“Go and vote,” Trump concluded.

The ad directed viewers to a webpage with a form to obtain voter location and registration information.

NBC was forced to give Trump the free airtime after featuring Harris for a minute and a half in a cold open sketch for “SNL,” the show’s final episode before Election Day, Blaze News reported.

FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr called the skit “a clear and blatant effort to evade the FCC’s Equal Time rule.”

“The purpose of the rule is to avoid exactly this type of biased and partisan conduct – a licensed broadcaster using the public airwaves to exert its influence for one candidate on the eve of an election,” Carr continued. “Unless the broadcaster offered Equal Time to other qualifying campaigns.”

NBC filed an Equal Time notice with the FCC late Sunday after the pushback.

Carr told Fox News Digital that the network’s filing confirms that it “views the Harris ‘SNL’ appearance as a free use of their facilities and airwaves within the meaning of the federal Equal Time rule.”

Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung told Fox News Digital that Harris’ cringeworthy sketch indicated her campaign is desperate to appeal to voters.

“Kamala Harris has nothing substantive to offer the American people, so that’s why she’s living out her warped fantasy cosplaying with her elitist friends on ‘Saturday Night Leftists’ as her campaign spirals down the drain into obscurity. For the last four years, Kamala’s destructive policies have led to untold misery and hurt for all Americans. She broke it, and President Trump will fix it,” Cheung told the news outlet.

Fans at a Buffalo Bills NFL game on Sunday were shocked when they were told that no political clothing could be worn inside the venue.

During a 30-27 win over the Miami Dolphins, fans were approached by a stadium official who told them a “Trump 2024” shirt was prohibited.

Video was posted online showing the fan’s shirt — which also sported the “America First” slogan — and his interaction with a security official.

‘It’s not a “Trump shirt.” It’s nothing political.’

The exchange picks up already in progress, with one fan heard off-screen saying, “[It’s] NFL policy that he can’t wear his Trump shirt?”

“100% false!” another fan chimed in..

“It’s not a ‘Trump shirt.’ It’s nothing political,” a man in sunglasses and a headset tells the fans.

The security guard was wearing a shirt that read “Allied Universal,” which is listed online as a facility services company.

“So according to the NFL policy, you cannot wear anything political at all?” a shocked fan repeated back.

“We’re in a free country!” another fan also yelled in disagreement.

It turns out that while there is no NFL policy regarding political speech or clothing, the Bills home venue, Highmark Stadium, does indeed have its own policy.

According to the stadium guide, “Clothing or material with profane language or obscene graphics or anything political in nature” is prohibited from the venue.

This rule also extends to signs and graphics.

Until very recently, the stadium guide differed from the generic “gate entry and permitted items” page, which listed only “clothing or material with profane language or obscene graphics.”

However, during the writing of this article, that page was updated to include “anything political in nature” and now matches the stadium guide.

The NFL’s fan code of conduct does not appear to prohibit fans from wearing clothing with political messages but does prevent players from wearing political statements on their uniform or helmet.

“The League will not grant permission for any club or player to wear, display, or otherwise convey messages … which relate to political activities or causes, other non-football events, causes or campaigns, or charitable causes or campaigns,” the NFL rulebook states.

This does not appear to cover a recent incident with San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa. Bosa crashed a post-game interview sporting a “Make America Great Again” hat, causing his teammates to burst into laughter.

Bosa later explained he felt it was “an important time” to promote the message.

Similarly, 49ers offensive lineman Jon Feliciano defended a recent Donald Trump rally at Madison Square Garden. Feliciano said that he didn’t believe critics were actually outraged when they claimed certain jokes told at the rally were offensive.

Trump, Elon Musk, and former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown and running back Le’Veon Bell have all appeared at recent NFL games to promote Trump’s presidential candidacy.

Months before Joe Biden stepped out of the presidential race, Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” predicted that would be the exact outcome.

Bill Maher, despite claiming he likes Rubin, did not agree in the slightest.

“This is a done deal,” Maher told Jillian Michaels in an interview on “Club Random with Bill Maher.” “There’s no serious people running against him and now the primary season is underway.”

“The rumors that even Dave Rubin and Megyn Kelly are talking about, that when they get to the Democratic convention, he’s going to quietly be like, ‘Oh you know what, not going to do it,’ and then somebody will slot themselves in,” Michaels argued back.

“This is pure conjecture. This is just people making s*** up,” Maher responded, while Michaels continued arguing that “respectable people in the news are suggesting it’s a possibility.”

“I like both Megyn and Dave, they’re respectable,” Maher said. “These two have a lot of looney ideas also, right-wing looney ideas.”

“This is something just something they pulled out of their a**, and it’s not going to happen,” he added.

The old clip has Rubin understandably amused, as shortly after Biden quietly dropped out of the 2024 election.

“Pulled it out of my a** man,” Rubin laughs.

Left-wing New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) openly demonized residents of her state who vote Republican, calling them “anti-American” — among other things.

Hochul made her comments during a Saturday appearance on MSNBC to discuss the 2024 election with host Al Sharpton, Mediaite reported.

‘Because you have just trashed American values and what our country is all about over and over and over.’

Sharpton asked the governor about House of Representative races in New York — as well as former President Donald Trump’s recent New York City rally at Madison Square Garden during which a comedian made a controversial joke about Puerto Rico, the outlet said.

According to Mediaite, Hochul noted that one wouldn’t think that leaders of “this great country” would “tolerate” such statements “at one of their rallies.” Hochul then said she believes Trump’s NYC rally “backfired on him,” Mediate added.

The outlet also noted that she said she’s “leading the effort in our state to ensure we flip these battleground seats.”

Hochul then said the rally controversy helped her paint Republican candidates in her state as closely aligned with Trump — and those who vote for them as “anti-American”:

“It gave me a chance to tie the Republicans running in these seats, the incumbents, closer to Donald Trump, and remind everybody, if you’re voting for these Republicans in New York, you are voting for someone who supports Donald Trump — and you’re anti-woman, you’re anti-abortion, and basically you’re anti-American,” Hochul said. “Because you have just trashed American values and what our country is all about over and over and over.”

You can view video of Hochul’s comments here.

Mediate said Sharpton didn’t ask Hochul any follow-up questions after her attack on her own constituents.

In response to Hochul’s remarks, U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) called Hochul the “worst governor in America.” Stefanik devoted a longer post to Hochul’s words here.

Speaking of being anti-American

While we’re on the subject of anti-American behavior, let us not forget that the FBI in September announced that an agent working for the communist Chinese government infiltrated Hochul’s office.

Linda Sun — who worked as deputy chief of staff for Hochul and deputy diversity officer for former Gov. Andrew Cuomo — was accused of money laundering conspiracy, violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act, and alien smuggling. Sun’s husband, Chris Hu, also was arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit bank fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and misuse by means of identification.

Democrats are panicking over the early voting results for the Kamala Harris campaign, according to the former campaign manager for Barack Obama.

Jim Messina — a Democratic political operative who ran then-President Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign — noted that early voting results are “scary” for the Harris campaign during a Sunday appearance on MSNBC’s “Inside with Jen Psaki.”

‘This is unprecedented in Georgia history.’

When asked what the major concerns were for the Harris campaign days before the election, Messina responded, “The early vote numbers are a little scary.”

“Republicans didn’t do what they did last time,” Messina added. “Last time, Trump said don’t early-vote, so they didn’t. Republicans do have an advantage in early vote numbers. When the early votes come in, it’s going to look a little bit different than 2020, and that’s scary.”

Messina confessed that the early vote totals have caused lots of his “friends to call me panicking” when comparing the data to 2020.

However, Messina noted that Democrats are excited about the early turnout of two key voting blocs: women and young voters.

“Women voters make up 55% of the early voters, and in the past 10 days, young voters in these battleground states are coming out in what looks to be, for early votes, historic numbers,” Messina stated.

At the time of publication, more than 78 million Americans have voted early, according to statistics from the University of Florida’s Election Lab. Over 42 million in-person early votes have been cast, and more than 35 million mail-in ballots have been returned across the country.

Based on states with party registration, nearly 38% have been by Democrats, 36% were Republicans, and 26% did not have any political party affiliation or supported minority parties.

In early voting results, 54% were women and 43% were men.

During the 2020 election, former President Donald Trump won the male vote against President Joe Biden: 53% to 45%, according to CNN. Biden easily surpassed Trump in the women’s vote: 57% to 42%.

Stats from 2020 show that 8% were ages 18-25, 16% were 26-40, 39% were 41-65, and nearly 36% were over the age of 65 years old.

In battleground states, early voting is up 80% in Georgia compared to the 2020 election, 80% in North Carolina, 76% in Nevada, nearly 65% in Arizona, 53% in Michigan, 45% in Wisconsin, and 25% in Pennsylvania.

The Georgia Secretary of State’s website said, “As of Saturday morning, 92 Georgia counties have exceeded 50% turnout. This is unprecedented in Georgia history.”

In Arizona, Republicans have nearly a 188,000 vote-return lead over Democrats, according to early voting totals compiled by UpLift Campaigns.

In North Carolina, Republicans have less than a 1% lead over Democrats.

In Nevada, Republicans have a 4% advantage over Democrats in early voting.

In Pennsylvania, Democrats have roughly a 400,000 vote lead over Republicans. During the 2020 election, Pennsylvania Democrats had more than 1 million more mail-in ballots than Republicans.

Early voting has traditionally been favored by Democrats.

CBS anchor Margaret Brennan on Sunday repeated false accusations suggesting that Donald Trump threatened Liz Cheney, prompting Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) to correct the record.

And in the end, Brennan could no longer defend that narrative.

‘You don’t normally give a gun to someone that is going to be facing a firing squad, which is what much of the media made it sound like.’

During an interview on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” Rubio argued that Trump is the presidential candidate who will promote safety and security in the U.S. and abroad. Brennan then used Rubio’s assertion to confront him over, in her words, “Donald Trump talking about training guns on the face of Liz Cheney.”

But Rubio was not interested in playing Brennan’s game.

“That’s not what he said,” Rubio told Brennan.

At first, Brennan defended her assertion because, according to her, CBS producers had played a “sound bite” of Trump’s remarks from last Thursday, when he accused Cheney of being a so-called chicken hawk. Notice, though, that CBS played only a sound bite of Trump’s remarks — not the full context.

“Donald Trump doesn’t talk like someone who’s been in Washington for 30 years,” Rubio defended.

“Training guns on her face?” Brennan pushed back.

“He doesn’t say it the way I would have said it, no, but that’s not what he said, Margaret. You guys know that. Come on,” Rubio responded. “I mean, everybody knows exactly what he was saying.”

Instead of acknowledging that Trump was not, in fact, threatening Cheney, Brennan for a third time pushed the media’s false narrative about Trump’s words.

“We played the sound bite,” Brennan said.

For Rubio, that was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

“No, you played a piece of the sound bite, because, in another piece of it, he said he would give her a gun to go stand in conflict as well. You don’t normally give a gun to someone that is going to be facing a firing squad, which is what much of the media made it sound like,” Rubio said. “The point he was making is not a new point. It is a point that has been made by people in both parties for decades. And that is: You’re all for war, and it’s easy to be for war when you’re in some fancy building and you’re safe and sound in Washington, D.C.”

After Rubio made the facts surrounding Trump’s remarks indisputable, Brennan appeared to concede and stopped disagreeing with him.

“Yep,” she said as Rubio continued speaking.

“Let’s see how much you are for war when you yourself get deployed into combat. That’s the point that he was making,” he said. “That he uses language that maybe is not what we typically hear from someone that works at a think tank —”

“Yes,” Brennan affirmed again.

“But I think it’s not just unfair, it’s egregious to see that reported the way that it was,” Rubio continued. “I have never seen such a concerted effort.

“And look, I have always believed there’s bias because no one’s unbiased, but I have never seen such a concerted effort like what I have seen, especially in the last two weeks, among multiple media outlets in this country to, in some cases, breathlessly distort and lie about what’s being said and to create and manufacture these gotcha moments against Donald Trump,” he added. “I have never seen it before. It’s over the top.”

Brennan, unfortunately, did not engage Rubio on his observation about the legacy media. Instead, she shifted the interview to a different topic.

Donald Trump’s afternoon working the fryer at a suburban Philadelphia McDonald’s will go down in history as one of the best political stunts of all time. Not only did it mock Kamala Harris’ unverified claims that she worked at the American multinational fast food chain in the ’80s, it also expressed Trump’s appreciation and respect for working-class Americans. And he got some incredible photos to add to the iconic album of his campaign trail.

What Trump doesn’t know, however, is that it did a fourth thing: It gave the Pimp on a Blimp the idea to eat McDonald’s French fries out of a 24k gold MAGA hat.

“You guys can go to memeranch.com and you can get your own gold MAGA hat,” says Alex, holding up the $5,000, gold-dipped hat to the camera.

“In honor of Donald Trump,” Alex dumps McDonald’s French fries into the hat, tops them with mayonnaise, and chows down while he discusses the aftermath of Trump’s day at McDonald’s.

“What about the dumba** left-wing media that’s coming out and saying, ‘This is a staged photo op!’ No s**t, Sherlock! What in the campaign trail isn’t some sort of staged photo op?” he laughs.

“Now they’re coming after Ronald McDonald; they’re saying that we got [E. coli] in the quarter-pounders!” says Alex, pointing to a recent story of an E. coli outbreak at chain.

“This is fake news. I’ve had two quarter-pounders today, and I don’t even eat meat.”

The news cycle may have moved on from Kamala Harris’ plagiarism scandal, but Mark Levin certainly hasn’t.

When the Manhattan Institute’s Christopher Rufo confirmed that there was “significant plagiarism” in “Smart on Crime: A Career Prosecutor’s Plan to Make Us Safer” that Harris co-wrote with Joan O’C. Hamilton in 2009, the Harris campaign simply denied the allegations and moved on.

“And so it goes away,” sighs Levin, referring to the media’s total abandonment of a story that should get significant attention, granted it proves that the current vice president and Democratic presidential candidate “[stole] the thoughts, the writings, the intellectual labor of somebody else.”

Levin explains that there’s no possibility that Harris accidentally plagiarized.

“She’s a trained lawyer, and I can tell you when you go to law school, over and over again they tell you the importance of getting your citations and getting them accurate,” he says.

While CNN did report on the story, it “trashed Christopher Rufo” and pointed to Kamala being “the first woman” vice president and “a minority,” as if that somehow canceled out her wrongdoing.

Then when CNN went to the Harris campaign, the network was met with a curt “we reject it all.”

“Excuse me? What do you reject? This page? … This page?” asks Levin, flipping through several pages of plagiarized information from Harris’ book.

“I’ve got 15 pages here — verbatim stealing language,” he says.

Unfortunately, all it took was a baseless denial — and poof! “It just goes away.”

Levin then points out that Joe Biden also was caught plagiarizing during his unsuccessful run for president back in 1988.

But unlike Kamala Harris, who can play the gender and race card and walk away scot-free, Biden actually suffered the consequences.

The scandal led to him “[dropping] out of the race,” says Levin.

President Joe Biden during a Saturday speech in support of Kamala Harris’ campaign gritted his teeth and snarled that former President Donald Trump and his “Republican friends” are “the kind of guys you like to smack in the ass.”

Biden — who last week called Trump supporters “garbage” — made his latest shocking remark to members of a carpenters’ union in his hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania, while criticizing Trump and the GOP.

It wasn’t the first time Biden has expressed violent rhetoric in regard to Trump.

“There’s one more thing Trump and his Republican friends want to do,” Biden began. “They want another giant tax cut for the wealthy. Now, I know some of you guys are tempted to think it’s macho guy. I’ll tell you what, man, when I was in Scranton, I used to, we used to have a little trouble going down the plot once in a while. … But I’m serious. These are the kind of guys you like to smack in the ass.”

Biden’s statement was met with cheers, laughter, and applause.

You can view video of the president’s words here.

The headline in left-wing outlet the Huffington Post reads that “Biden Says He’d Like To ‘Smack’ Trump And His Supporters ‘In The Ass.'”

Reuters had a similar interpretation of Biden’s remarks:

Biden used colorful language when describing what he would like to do to those who would turn back his legislative accomplishments with a reference to his younger days in Scranton.

“I’m serious. These are the kind of guys you’d like to smack in the ass,” he said.

It wasn’t the first time Biden has expressed violent rhetoric in regard to Trump. In 2018, Biden infamously stated that if he were back in high school, he’d take Trump “behind the gym and beat the hell out of him.”

A week before his “garbage” remark, Biden in another speech said of Trump that “we gotta lock him up.” While his listeners applauded, Biden attempted to correct himself and sputtered, “Politically lock him out.”

Biden also attempted damage control after his “garbage” remark by noting on X, “Earlier today I referred to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trump’s supporter at his Madison Square Garden rally as garbage — which is the only word I can think of to describe it. His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable. That’s all I meant to say. The comments at that rally don’t reflect who we are as a nation.”

The White House added an apostrophe to the transcript of his call with Voto Latino: “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter’s — his — his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American.”

Indeed, two U.S. government officials told the AP that White House press officials altered the official transcript of Biden’s “garbage” remarks, which elicited objections from federal workers who transcribe what the president says for posterity. The AP added that it also obtained an internal email to back its report.

Amazon mogul Jeff Bezos rocked the established media world when he used the prerogatives of ownership to deny the Washington Post’s desire to publish an endorsement of Kamala Harris for president. However, his longer-term plans to make the paper’s opinion section less liberal are even more significant.

Given today’s identity crises on the political right, the only question is what Bezos’ plans will signify.

The irony of a top neoconservative fleeing a paper that wants more conservative voices might be delicious, but it’s not very nutritious. If neocons aren’t conservative any more — and judging by the Cheneys’ endorsement of Harris, that’s a betrayal they’re proud to wear — then who is?

Consider the New York Times report that broke the news on the upheaval: “Mr. Bezos has told others involved with The Post that he is interested in expanding The Post’s audience among conservatives, according to a person familiar with the matter. He has appointed Mr. [Will] Lewis — a chief executive who previously worked at the Rupert Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal — and has informed Mr. Lewis that he wants more conservative writers on the opinion section, the person said.”

More important than the identity of that unnamed person is the “conservative” identity he or she invokes. Superficially, Bezos might simply have meant by the label “anyone to the right of Taylor Lorenz.” But anyone in politics, especially the head of the nation’s emblematic Beltway newspaper, would have to work harder than that to figure out what counts as conservative these days.

For instance, the next line in the Times report lays bare the problem: “The Post’s decision drew immediate blowback inside the paper. At least one member of the opinions department, Robert Kagan, resigned.” Kagan is one of the country’s top self-described neoconservatives, a sect that arose from reactionary liberals “mugged by reality” in the 1980s to become, in the 2000s, the fiercely dominant faction in the conservative movement and the Bush-era GOP.

The irony of a top neoconservative fleeing a paper that wants more conservative voices might be delicious, but it’s not very nutritious. If neocons aren’t conservative any more — and judging by the Cheneys’ endorsement of Harris, that’s a betrayal they’re proud to wear — then who is?

The very label “conservative” has been struggling to make ends meet for years, losing mindshare to the ever-multiplying subcultures on the right that feel “conservatism” is too vague, too broad, too dated, and just too unsuccessful a brand to capture who they really are and want to be. Consider yourself trad? Based? Red-pilled? MAGA? Frog? Groyper? Race realist? Archeofuturist? The list goes on! Odds are you never felt so comfortable with the conservative moniker, whether or not you once identified as such.

It’s not even so crystal clear at this relatively late date just what it might mean to be a “Trumpist.” Not that there’s anything wrong with that! Politics are about coalitions, after all, and the failure of identity politics to deliver the coalitional goods underscores how identity is ultimately a question of in whose or what image you see yourself to be.

That’s right — religion. And whatever else can be said about religion in American politics, the legacy form of big-tent, evangelical-heavy Judeo-Christian Protestantism that ruled the Republican roost for several generations has, like “conservatism” itself, begun to denature and decay.

All things in this world pass away, so there’s that excuse, but another decisive factor has had an accelerating effect: digital technology, the special sauce that took Bezos from just another nerd at a desktop to a chrome-domed, well-muscled master of the socioeconomic universe. On close inspection, it’s tough to find a more potent solvent for old-school, pre-digital conservatism than the digital tech itself precisely because of how swiftly all things digital have worked against the principles- and values-heavy rhetoric and goals of the Moral Majority era.

The overwhelming power and authority of digital tech flipped the table on the past 500 years of religious and political life in the West — roiled by the leap from the printing press to the radio to the television yet remarkably consistent in its project of swapping in modern institutions justified by interest or appetite where once medieval institutions justified by faith had thrived.

Yes, the digital superpowers of computational recordation and recall suddenly seem to dwarf human knowledge and imagination, making billions start to go crazy at the thought that maybe their interests and appetites, no matter how strong, aren’t enough to hold their identities together.

That’s a huge threat to liberalism, but it’s a dagger at the heart of mere conservatism too — in a world where all that we thought made us who we are is meaningless relative to our own machines, what the heck is worth conserving again?

As the ideological sky falls, liberals have rushed to wokeness and conservatives have scattered into the subcultures of the right. Jeff Bezos is a bright, connected guy. Surely he’s been tracking these developments (along with every boost of TRT or HGH). If mere conservatism can’t conserve itself, does he really think the ambition and resources of a tech titan like himself can bring it back — against the grain of technology?

Or does he have something else in mind? Maybe he’s one of the many leading AI figures who seem to sincerely believe that tech is on the verge of “solving politics” altogether, wiping away the need for any and all ideologies forever. As plenty of those same figures now turn toward implicitly or explicitly worshipping AI itself, perhaps Bezos has realized that, while different kinds of politics and technology come and go, as Alexis de Tocqueville once said, “religion is the only permanent state of mankind.”

Jeff Bezos might be unable to bring on Tocqueville as the Post’s next big columnist. But suppose he knew what’s good for the paper, a media relic needing a radical renaissance. In that case, he’d look past the shifting partisan labels du jour in search of writers even more experienced with the humility of communion than the audacity of communication.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation
announced last week that they found the likely remains of 25-year-old Minelys Rodriguez-Ramirez of Cornelia. The man suspected of kidnapping and murdering the Puerto Rican native is an illegal alien, Angel DeJesus Rivera-Sanchez.

Keen to spare other families from similar heartbreak, Rodriguez-Ramirez’s mother endorsed President Donald Trump at his
Sunday rally in Macon, Georgia, emphasizing that it’s high time to end this trend of illegally imported barbarism.

Rodriguez-Ramirez, the mother of a 9-year-old girl who had a popular TikTok account where she shared fitness routines, was engaged to be married. Julio Tovor, the victim’s fiancé,
told Now Hambersham, “Minelys talked about her daughter a lot. She treasured her daughter.”

According to Tovor, his fiancée went to Walmart to exchange a photo with an acquaintance. Her car was later found pulled over on the side of Hazel Creek Road.

The victim’s family reported her missing on Oct. 23, and six days later the GBI announced that her likely remains were found near the Walmart where she was last seen.

Rivera-Sanchez, 24, was arrested last week and charged with both kidnapping and murdering Rodriguez-Ramirez. Georgia state Sen. John Albers (R)
indicated that the suspect was apprehended in Atlanta “as he tried to flee back to Mexico.”

Habersham County Sheriff Joey Terrell
confirmed to the Northeast Georgian that Rivera-Sanchez is an illegal alien and accused the Biden-Harris Department of Homeland Security of staying tight-lipped on the matter due to the election.

‘I will not let them spill one more drop of precious American blood.’

“[Rodriguez-Ramirez] moved from Puerto Rico and secured employment with Mt. Vernon Hills, Inc. and tirelessly supported her daughter, mother and fiance. She did everything right, yet her life was cut short because of our federal government’s repeated failure to protect its own citizens,” Albers said in a statement. “Once again, our open-border policies have claimed another innocent life on American soil, right here in Georgia.”

Albers asked, “How many more lives must be lost due to the open-border policies in Washington, D.C.?”

The victim’s mother, Carmen Ramirez, took the stage at Trump’s rally Sunday, holding a flag that read, “Don’t blame us[.] We voted for Trump. The Milholen-Ramirez Fam.”

After hugging the president, Ramirez introduced herself as the murdered woman’s mother, indicating, “She was murdered last Tuesday. I lose my daughter, but I don’t lose my faith.”

“I know Donald Trump is the best choice for the U.S.A.,” continued the bereaved mother. “He is the only one we need to save our country.”

“I have a 25-year-old daughter with a lot of life, and somebody stopped her life. And we have to stop with this and keep going with Donald Trump,” added Ramirez.

After Ramirez implored Trump to “make America great again,” Trump discussed Democrats’ border policies then played a video endorsement from another mother who lost her daughter allegedly as a result of illegal aliens.

Following a video endorsement from
Alexis Nungaray, who underscored that her 12-year-old daughter, Jocelyn, would not have been allegedly raped and murdered by two illegal Venezuelan nationals had border czar Kamala Harris secured the border, Trump told Georgians Sunday, “The day I take the oath of office, the migrant invasion ends and the restoration of our country begins.”

“When you vote on Tuesday, remember this: Kamala is importing illegal alien rapists and murderers; draconian monsters who are killing our children, our brothers, our sisters, our parents, our friends. They’re willing to kill anyone,” said Trump. “When I win I will not let these animals into our country any longer. I will not let them spill one more drop of precious American blood.”

Vice President Kamala Harris will spend all of Monday at multiple events in Pennsylvania, a sign that her campaign is concerned that she does not have the critical swing state locked down in her favor.

Harris will be in Scranton, Allentown, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia. Running mate Minnesota Governor Tim Walz will spend the final day campaigning in Wisconsin.

The RealClearPolitics polling average for Pennsylvania shows Trump with a razor-thin lead over Harris at 0.3%.

Harris’ decision to put her last efforts into Pennsylvania highlights how much different the situation would have been had she chosen Governor Josh Shapiro (D-Pa.) instead of Walz, who governs a state that is much more likely to go to Harris. An unspoken reason why Shapiro was likely not chosen is his Jewish background, as Democrats have struggled to keep the party’s infighting to a minimum in the aftermath of Hamas’ terrorist attacks in Israel on October 7, 2023.

The Harris campaign is aware of the Jewish and pro-Palestine voting blocs being at extreme odds with each other, as ads in Pennsylvania focus on her support for Israel, while ads playing in Michigan, with its large Muslim population, vow she “will not be silent” on what is happening in Gaza.

In contrast, former President Donald Trump will be in multiple states on Monday.

Trump will be in Raleigh, North Carolina, and Reading and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, before ending the day in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

The RealClearPolitics polling average for Pennsylvania shows Trump with a razor-thin lead over Harris at 0.3%. While many of the polls have Trump ahead by one or two points, many other polls show a tie. Trump’s average lead in the polls at the national level is even smaller, at 0.1%.

Is China spying on us? Is the U.S. government making it easier for the Chinese to spy on us? The answer is obviously yes, but there’s been a convergence of the two countries eavesdropping on Americans. Ever since the horrific events of September 11, 2001 (and some years before that, to a lesser extent), surveillance by our government has been the new normal for Americans. However, it is now coming to light that the surveillance apparatus may make it easier for our enemies to spy on us, too.

JD Vance brought up this issue in a recent conversation on “The Tim Dillon Show,” during which he critiqued big government and surveillance and discussed threats to national security. He mentioned a recent Chinese cyberattack, which shed light on this issue. According to the original report from the Wall Street Journal, China recently hacked U.S. service providers, notably including AT&T and Verizon, using America’s “wiretap” infrastructure.

JD Vance cited this article and criticized the surveillance network that made this cyberattack possible. He said, “We’re creating a back door in our own technology networks that our enemies are now using.” He explained, “My understanding is that part of the infrastructure that they hacked into was built on top of surveillance systems that were implemented in 2001 — Patriot Act-style stuff.”

The Patriot Act, according to another report on this interview, aimed to “enhance national security by expanding the surveillance and investigative powers of U.S. law enforcement agencies. Key provisions included increased authority for monitoring phone, email, and financial records, improved information-sharing between government agencies, and broader powers.” This law was enacted in the wake of the horror of 9/11, but its intended purpose has been corrupted in the continued expansion and application of its provisions. However, this is only one of several laws that have created the back door that our adversaries exploit.

For instance, the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act was enacted in 1994 to “require that telecommunications carriers and manufacturers of telecommunications equipment design their equipment, facilities, and services to ensure that they have the necessary surveillance capabilities to comply with legal requests for information.” Simply put, service providers need to design their systems in a way that allows for government surveillance. Or, even more simply, it requires a “back door.” “Back doors,” as the president of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, wrote, are inherently flawed: “There’s no way to build a back door that only the ‘good guys’ can use.”

Vance brought two important issues into the conversation in light of this recent national security breach: the tyranny of bloated government and the threats to national security. The government created a surveillance apparatus and has continued to encroach on Americans’ privacy, yet our adversaries are now exploiting this same vulnerability.

Earlier in the conversation, Vance brought up the sharp contrast between what the government cares about and what matters to everyday Americans. Vance sarcastically remarked: “I want to speak from the heart here, to my fellow Americans, who are really worried that a CIA bureaucrat making $190,000 a year might have to find a job in the private sector. I recognize that that is the biggest crisis facing my fellow Americans, not that they can’t afford groceries and housing.” He added, “In Kamala Harris’ defense: Yes, she’s made it harder for Americans to afford housing, but that’s been in the service so the CIA can more easily spy on our fellow Americans.”

Sounds like a lose-lose situation.

With just one day to go, former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are closing out their historic campaigns.

A new ad titled “It’s the people that Make America Great” was unveiled Sunday, featuring Republicans, former Democrats, and independents all uniting behind Trump.

“What will we do with this moment?” Trump asked. “How will we be remembered? Look at the opportunities before us.”

‘The people dreamed this country, and it’s the people who are making America great again.’

“This election really isn’t about the left versus the right,” former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii said in the ad. “It’s about we, the people, choosing our government and the choice between freedom versus tyranny.”

The ad also featured former Democrats like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his running mate, Nicole Shanahan, uniting behind Trump.

“What is going on here is deeper than politics,” Shanahan said. “It is deeply spiritual. We are being called to rise above the hatred and the fear and the evil.”

Republicans like Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy as well as Tesla founder and X CEO Elon Musk were also included in the ad.

“We need to remember above and beyond that we must love our neighbors, that we must treat other people as we hope to be treated,” Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, said.

“The people dreamed this country, and it’s the people who are making America great again,” Trump said.

Trump has also delivered a disciplined closing message on the campaign trail, reminding voters of his economic and immigration policies and how they contrast with Harris’. Over the past few months leading up to the election, polls have consistently shown the economy and immigration to be top priorities for voters, who also trust Trump over Harris to handle those issues.

Trump also spent his Sunday campaigning in three crucial swing states: Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia. As of this writing, Trump is ahead in all three of those battlegrounds by 0.3, 1.5, and 1.9 points respectively, according to RealClearPolling averages.

Harris, on the other hand, spent her Sunday campaigning in Michigan. In addition to some economic proposals, Harris largely focused her closing pitch on issues like “reproductive freedom,” legalizing recreational marijuana, and reminding voters of her middle-class background.

Notably, Harris’ most significant lead across the seven swing states is in Michigan, where she leads Trump by an average of 1.2 points. Harris is also ahead by an average of 0.4 points in Wisconsin, although Trump leads in the remaining battlegrounds and has an edge nationally.

This is still anyone’s race. All the polls are within the margin of error, implying this race is essentially deadlocked. Trump has made significant gains with crucial voting blocs this cycle, but most pundits are still calling this race a coin toss.

Heading into the home stretch, Harris is making multiple pit stops in Pennsylvania, arguably the most important swing state given its 19 electoral votes. She will be joined by celebrities like Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Oprah Winfrey. Trump will also be stopping in Pennsylvania as well as North Carolina and Michigan.

Tens of millions of illegal aliens have stolen into the U.S. since January 2021,
killing citizens, tracking in lethal drugs and once-controlled diseases, siphoning taxpayer-funded welfare benefits, displacing schoolchildren, and in some cases, threatening the integrity of American elections.

Rather than take ownership for the deadly crisis, border czar Kamala Harris has
repeatedly blamed President Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers for the failure of the so-called “bipartisan” border bill, which Democrats have memorialized as a kind of would-be panacea.

Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman (D) did his best to amplify this narrative on the Saturday episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” but the titular host made clear he wasn’t buying what the senator was selling. Rogan suggested that Democrats aren’t looking for a solution to the border crisis but are instead using the border crisis to solve their problem of incomplete political control.

‘You’re rigging the system.’

When discussing the matter of immigration, Fetterman told Rogan, “Democrats are saying, ‘Hey though, we need a secure border, we — you know — it’s a significant issue.’ And if I thought there was any kinds of issues and I’ve been very vigilant throughout, I’ve been actively involved in those kinds of things, and I’ve never witnessed those kinds of a thing.”

“What do you mean by ‘issues?'” said Rogan. “Like, what kind of issues are you talking about? You’re talking about people letting people in, in order to get votes?”

“Well, it’s not, there’s not that level kinds. I don’t think there’s that level of kinds of organization,” responded the senator.

Rogan balked at the suggestion that the crisis underway is not courtesy of some coordinated efforts, stating:

But there is a [level of] organization that’s moving these people to swing states. There is a significant number of these people that are illegal immigrants that have made their way to swing states. And then there’s been calls for amnesty. There’s been calls for allowing these people to have a pathway to citizenship and allow them to vote. The fear that a lot of people have is that this is a coordinated effort to take these people that you’re allowing to come into the country, then you’re providing them with all sorts of services like food stamps and housing and setting them up, and then providing a pathway to amnesty. And then you would have voters that would be significantly voting towards the Democrats because they’re the people that enabled them to come into the country in the first place, first place and provided them with those services.

“This is a big fear that people have,” added Rogan, “that you’re rigging the system and that this will turn all these states into essentially locked-blue like California is.”

This fear was recently expressed by Elon Musk, who
noted on his social media platform, “The Dems have imported massive numbers of illegals to swing states. Triple digit increases over the past 4 years! Their STATED plan is to give them citizenship as soon as possible, turning all swing states Dem. America would then become a one-party, deep blue socialist state.”

Musk was referencing data that suggested the Biden-Harris administration was
flooding red states with inadmissible migrants under the Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela program.

‘The apportionment of House seats and votes in the Electoral College among the states is based on total population — not citizenship or legal status.’

Rogan’s suggestion left Fetterman stammering. After re-centering himself with the defeatist suggestion, “Immigration is always going to be a tough issue in our nation,” the senator proceeded to recycle Harris’ suggestion that the “bipartisan” border bill was a step in the right direction but was ultimately tripped up by Trump.

“They had an opportunity to do a comprehensive border, bipartisan [bill] and that went down because Trump, he declared that, that, that’s, that’s a bad deal after it was negotiated with the other side,” said Fetterman, glossing over Democrats’ rejection of the robust Secure the Border Act of 2023 from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) just months earlier.

Having evidently looked into the specifics of the Emergency National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, H. R. 815, Rogan responded, “But didn’t that deal also involve amnesty? And didn’t that deal also involve a significant number of illegal aliens being allowed into the country every year? I think it was 2 million people.”

Blaze News
previously reported that the bill included emergency authority provisions that would enable the federal government to shut down the border if the average number of illegal alien encounters reached between 4,000 and 5,000 per day for seven consecutive days. Over 1.4 million illegal aliens could therefore steal into the country without triggering a clamp down.

“So it was still the same sort of situation,” continued Rogan. “Their fear is exactly what I talked about: that these people will be moved to swing states and that will be used to essentially rig those states and turn them blue forever.”

When Fetterman attempted to dive back into empty rhetoric, Rogan
intimated that it only took Republicans tens of thousands of votes across several counties to win certain states in 2016, so tens of millions of illegal aliens, strategically placed then rendered loyal to Democrats with handouts and amnesty, could “rig those states undeniably.”

Steven Camarota, the director of research for the Center of Immigration Studies,
noted in a recent op-ed that illegal aliens don’t necessarily have to vote to impact American elections.

The apportionment of House seats and votes in the Electoral College among the states is based on total population — not citizenship or legal status. The Census Bureau is clear that naturalized citizens, as well as non-citizens such as green card holders, foreign students, guestworkers and illegal immigrants are captured in the census every 10 years.

Accordingly, political operatives playing the long game need only deluge blue states with illegal aliens to increase their representation in Congress and the Electoral College.

Because the legal and illegal immigrant population is so large and unevenly distributed across the country, it causes some states to gain seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and Electoral College at the expense of others.

A Center for Immigration Studies investigation revealed last week that the inclusion of legal and illegal immigrants in the 2020 census shifted 17 House seats.

Fetterman told Rogan, “Immigration is changing our nation,” stressing that it is “generally for a good thing.”

Hollywood actor Zachary Levi has starred in his fair share of films, but now he’s taking on a new role, one that’s completely foreign to his silver screen comrades.

That is, the role of a man who is voting for Donald Trump and isn’t afraid to talk about it.

“I’m not voting for Donald Trump. I’m voting for Donald Trump and Bobby and Tulsi Gabbard and Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk and JD Vance and everyone else that they’re going to bring in,” Levi told Megyn Kelly in a recent interview.

Levi went on to compare this group of people to superheroes, like the Avengers or Voltron.

“They’re going to get in there and actually do what Donald Trump said he was going to do the first time, which is drain the swamp. And he has admitted that he couldn’t do it, and he didn’t do it, because he didn’t know what he was doing. He didn’t even think he was going to win the first time,” he continued.

In order to avoid another failure to drain the swamp, Trump is privately funding his own transition team and not waiting for the government to step in.

“They are not compromised. That is the government that I want,” Levi told Kelly, who’s in full agreement.

“You’re getting more than just Trump,” she said. “You’re getting a team that we’ve seen now for years in the public eye. It’s exciting. If he loses, that’s one of the things I’ll be the most disappointed about the next day, like, not just the loss of Trump and the elevation of Kamala but the loss of all this opportunity.”

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” is also thrilled at the prospect of this group of people working together in the White House.

“There’s going to be good people actually doing things for the right reasons? We wouldn’t even know what to do,” he says.

At the last minute, third-party groups submitted nearly 100,000 voter registration forms in Arizona’s most populous county, creating headaches for both election workers and voters alike, a report from AZ Central says.

On the final day to register to vote in Arizona — which this year would have been October 7 — these groups dumped as many as 90,000 forms on the Maricopa County Recorder’s Office, an “unprecedented” number, according to spokesperson Taylor Kinnerup.

‘Places where there are more questions around eligibility — those places could potentially have longer lines because we know there will be more questions there.’

What’s more, a sizeable portion of these forms — some 30,000 or 40,000 of them — were heavily damaged and could not be processed. Still others were registered under names such as “Donald Duck” and “Mickey Mouse.”

Of the 50,000 that could be processed, many still had defects. Some had missing information, AZ Central reported. Others were dated weeks earlier, and Arizona law requires third parties to submit voter registration forms within five days of collecting them, Kinnerup claimed.

Registrants whose addresses could be ascertained were issued a notice to cure their registration information before the deadline of 7 p.m. on Election Day. Those who followed through and fixed the missing information should be able to vote normally on Tuesday.

“All of the preliminary work has been done in terms of processing these forms,” Kinnerup added. “Anything left to do is on the onus of the voter.”

Those with a valid ID whose registration form is still missing some information will likely be able to complete the registration at the polling station and cast a provisional ballot that will be counted if and when officials determine that they were eligible to vote.

Others whose forms were too badly damaged will also likely be able to cast a provisional ballot, but that ballot will not be counted unless they previously registered to vote and that registration remains active, AZ Central reported. The outlet did not clarify why such individuals would re-register to vote or require a provisional ballot if they have an active voter registration.

As of Friday, elections workers have already processed 4,800 provisional ballots, well above average, Elections Department spokesperson Jennifer Liewer claimed.

“It’s certainly a much higher number than we’ve seen previously since moving to a vote center model.”

Officials are also concerned that these problems and uncertainties will increase wait times at the polls even more on Tuesday. They had already warned Election Day voters to expect to wait at least an hour before casting a ballot.

“Places where there are higher provisionals, places where there are more questions around eligibility — those places could potentially have longer lines because we know there will be more questions there,” Tammy Patrick, a former Maricopa County elections official who now works at the Election Center, told the outlet.

Despite going into great detail about potential fallout from tens of thousands of faulty voter registrations submitted at the 11th hour, AZ Central called out what it described as “election denialism,” implying that voters who distrust the system are the problem rather than the system itself.

The outlet did not identify the third-party groups that had submitted the registrations.
