There are a number of ways that concerned Americans who suspect or have evidence of voter fraud can notify authorities or the general public and seek remedy.

For instance, in Pennsylvania, voters can file complaints with the Pennsylvania Department of State’s formal election complaint site or call 1-877-868-3772. They can also submit a report with the Republican National Committee-backed Pennsylvania Protect the Vote site or contact their respective county officials. In deep-red Cambria County, for instance, where voting machines malfunctioned early on Election Day, voters could reach out to Maryann Dillon, chief clerk in the Cambria County Elections Office.

In addition to state and local options, there is also Elon Musk’s Election Integrity Community.

Musk’s community on X, linked to his pro-Trump America PAC, lets voters share “potential incidents of voter fraud or irregularities.”

As of early Tuesday afternoon, the group had around 63,000 members sharing concerns, sharing videos of possible election shenanigans, and coordinating pressure for greater transparency.

Leftist academics and the liberal media are enraged that Musk and other private citizens would dare highlight possible instances of voter fraud, signaling concerns about the EIC’s potential efficacy.

‘If you are aware of any election integrity issues, please report them to the X Election Integrity Community.’

Wired characterized the voter integrity group as “a cesspool of election conspiracy theories.”

Paul Barrett, deputy director of the Center for Business and Human Rights at New York University, told the liberal tech magazine that “it’s just an election denier jamboree.”

“This is another cynical and destructive step that Musk and many, many others on the political right are taking to undermine faith in elections, because of their anxiety that if elections are just held in a conventional, straightforward way, their side loses,” added Barrett.

The Guardian, a foreign liberal publication, likened Musk’s community to the “‘Stop the Steal’ Facebook group, Telegram groups and message boards on alt-right social media firm Parler” that “perpetuated the baseless claim that the election was being stolen from Donald Trump.”

Renee DiResta, a former research manager at Stanford University’s now-defunct narrative curation outfit that worked hand in glove with the Biden-Harris administration to flag and clamp down on undesired speech, told the Guardian, “These are real rumors by real people that are being picked up and used by a propaganda machine that really wants to get that view out there.”

One of the supposedly “false claim[s]” the Guardian and other liberal outfits are up in arms about is the suggestion that the Biden-Harris administration has imported illegal aliens in hopes of impacting the election in Harris’ favor — one of the factors that ostensibly prompted Joe Rogan to endorse President Donald Trump.

CBS News, which further discredited its reporting with the final edit of its Oct. 7 interview with Kamala Harris, also attacked Musk’s community, suggesting it is a digital space where “false claims proliferate.”

Max Read, a senior “researcher” from the U.K.-based censorship outfit Institute for Strategic Dialogue, told CBS News, “The X community is sort of a consolidation point of a lot of different false, unverified claims about the election process.”

Musk tweeted last week, “If you are aware of any election integrity issues, please report them to the X Election Integrity Community.”

President Donald Trump discredited the idea that women should be paid the same as men in sports, particularly in reference to the WNBA, where he said contracts were already in place.

During an interview on the “Let’s Go!” podcast with hosts Jim Gray and legendary NFL coach Bill Belichick, Trump was asked about “equitable pay” in women’s sports.

“Should there be more support, or supportive measures, to ensure equitable pay across sports?” Gray asked, before referring to WNBA star Caitlin Clark.

“You’d like to do that, but it’s a very complicated thing,” Trump replied, calling Clark a “phenomenon” in her sport.

While the former president compared Clark to Tiger Woods, he said he’s seen new stars get locked into entry-level contracts many times and play them out until they get rewarded.

“It sounds unfair, but somebody agrees to a contract. Hopefully she’ll keep it going and she’ll make a lot of money,” he continued.

“Maybe you could give her a bonus,” Trump suggested for Clark.

Host Gray then referred to Clark’s massive television ratings, which eclipsed typical NBA viewership many times throughout 2024.

“You have to rely on the market,” Trump rebuffed. “You can’t just say ‘we’ll break this contract because this person did well.'”

— (@)

Coach Belichick pushed Trump for his opinion on name, image, and likeness payments for NCAA athletes and wondered if there is a way to strike a balance between profit and willingness to play.

Trump responded by saying he was “surprised that the governing body didn’t appeal” NIL payments more vehemently.

“I don’t know that they appealed it at all,” Trump laughed.

“Will college sports, as we know it, look the same in the next five to 10 years?” Belichick then asked.

“No, not really. … It’s not going to be the same,” Trump predicted.

“You’ll probably have some schools go to the top,” he added, noting some of the more “wealthy schools” will likely do very well.

Trump went to say that inevitably the NCAA could act as a different professional sports league, with “some very rich athletes.”

Still talking about football, the Republican commented on Guardian Caps, the exterior padding the NFL has allowed on players’ helmets in the 2024 season.

“That thing looks weird!” Trump remarked, laughing with the hosts. He said he wasn’t sure about the preventive aspects of the equipment, pointing out that there are still violent clashes between players.

“[It’s] still a very violent game,” he continued. “That’s why people watch it. It’s pretty risky, but you don’t have to let your child play.”

Trump also expressed disdain for the NFL’s new kickoff rules, while adding that middle-class Americans are being “priced out” of sporting events.

“A fan will buy one ticket, for one game, sometimes a nothing game, and that’s all they can afford,” Trump claimed.

A Muslim social media star’s interview with Kamala Harris was reportedly scrapped after the vice president refused to answer questions about Gaza, but then oddly pivoted to talking favorably about bacon — when Muslims are not permitted to eat pork.

Kareem Rahma is the Egyptian-American host of the popular “Subway Takes,” which boasts hundreds of thousands of followers on TikTok and Instagram. Rahma interviews people on the subway and asks for their most important opinion within two minutes.

‘And then they made it worse by talking about anchovies. Boring!’

Rahma interviewed Harris over the summer, but the episode never aired.

Rahma told the New York Times that he canned the Harris interview after it “hadn’t gone as planned.”

Rahma and Harris were allegedly going to talk about removing shoes on airplanes. However, Kamala talked about bacon with the Muslim influencer.

Harris instead reportedly said: “Bacon is a spice.”

The New York Times reported, “Rahma, who doesn’t eat pork for religious reasons, was taken aback. ‘I don’t know,’ he says, in an unpublished video recording of the interview, his voice rising to an unusually high pitch.”

Harris allegedly explained how “bits of cooked bacon can be used to enhance a meal like any other seasoning,” and she said, “Think about it, it’s pure flavor.”

Rahma reportedly informed Kamala that he doesn’t eat bacon because of his Muslim faith.

According to the Times, Harris then talked about how she loves anchovies on pizza.

Rahma reportedly wrapped up the interview one minute later by saying with an awkward laugh, “Well, I’m 100% unsure on both of those.”

Rahma said he opposed the Biden-Harris administration’s support for Israel’s war in Gaza.

Rahma said he had three phone calls with Kamala’s staff and noted that he wanted to ask Harris a question about the Israel-Hamas War — but the vice president’s handlers said the Middle East conflict was off-limits.

“It was so complicated because I’m Muslim and there’s something going on in the world that 100% of Muslims care about,” Rahma told the New York Times. “And then they made it worse by talking about anchovies. Boring!”

The Harris campaign allegedly apologized for the bacon take and proposed a reshoot. However, Rahma was not interested in another interview with Harris.

“I never wanted to be a politics person,” he added. “The more I think about it, the more I feel like I got lucky.”

The Harris campaign did not respond to Blaze News’ request for comment.

In August, Rahma conducted an interview with Kamala’s running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who talked about how Americans are failing to maintain the gutters on their homes.

As Blaze News reported this week, a poll from the Council on American-Islamic Relations had worrying concerns for the Harris campaign. The poll found that Green Party candidate Jill Stein has more support among Muslims, at 42.3%, than Harris, at 41%.

On Saturday, Muslim community leaders in Minnesota showed support for former President Donald Trump.

A new study suggests that Vice President Kamala Harris received the most lopsided news coverage in the country’s history when comparing reports from major networks surrounding the presidential election.

Media Research Center evaluated coverage of Harris on ABC, CBS, and NBC and found that 78% of the coverage for the vice president was positive versus 22% negative.

Donald Trump, on the other hand, received a whopping 85% negative coverage and just 15% positive.

This equates to a 63-point advantage in positive coverage for Harris, the largest gap in history, according to the study.

The report analyzed 660 stories from the major networks’ evening newscasts beginning on July 21, when President Joe Biden withdrew from the race, until October 25.

Research was divided fairly evenly between the three major networks: Eight hours, 20 minutes for NBC; eight hours, 13 minutes for CBS; and seven hours, 42 minutes for ABC.

Out of 753 minutes dedicated to Trump in that time, approximately 230 minutes of coverage (almost one-third) was dedicated to his personal controversies.

Comparatively, just 28 of 583 total minutes of coverage of Harris was spent on similar topics.

Harris’ coverage was described as being full of enthusiastic quotes from her voters, and overall, attempting to create a positive “vibe” for the Democratic candidate.

It may be hard to believe, but the 63-point difference in coverage for Vice President Harris was far wider than when Trump went up against Hillary Clinton.

For 2016, coverage for both candidates was overwhelmingly negative. Clinton received 79% negative coverage, while Trump was hit with 91% negative coverage.

For Trump, those numbers more closely represent what he faced in 2020, which was also the second-highest discrepancy for positive coverage in election history.

Trump received a shockingly low 8% positive coverage rating against Biden in 2020, while the now-sitting president saw networks give him 66% favorable airtime.

This 58-point difference in 2020 along with the 63-point difference in 2024 showcase a stark contrast in how coverage has been extremely negative since Trump jumped into politics.

This is further shown by what is considered the third-biggest difference in positive coverage, which was only a 35-point spread between Democrat Barack Obama (68% positive coverage) and Republican John McCain (33% positive).

The fourth-widest margin was in 1992 when Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton (D) had a 23-point advantage in positive coverage over incumbent President George H.W. Bush (R).

Rounding out the top five was John Kerry’s 22-point slant in positive coverage over incumbent President George W. Bush in 2004.

On July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania, Donald Trump glanced at a screen displaying immigration statistics as he addressed a massive crowd of supporters. A moment later, on his knees, blood streaming down his face, he struggled to his feet and reassured his supporters that he would continue the fight. With one turn of his head, our world could have changed dramatically.

I do not know what would have happened in the timeline where an assassin splattered Trump’s brain live on camera. What kind of conflict and chaos could have erupted if the liberal media and ghoulish Democrats had gotten their deepest wish? I do not want to know. What I do know is that providence spared both Donald Trump and our beloved country that day, and now the moment of truth has come.

Even if Trump does secure the necessary votes, the battle will be far from over.

It is no secret that I am not a huge fan of what our republic has become. Mass democracy was never what the founding fathers wanted for this country, and I am more tired than most of hearing that “this is the most important election of our lifetime.” But with the weaponization of our justice system, the open attempt to take the opposing candidate off the ballot by any means necessary, and the flagrant effort to import a foreign voting base to dominate all future elections, it is hard not to see this moment as pivotal.

The Biden-Harris administration has normalized censorship, jailed political opponents, and made thinly veiled calls for violence. Another four years of open borders will permanently shift the electoral balance in favor of the Democratic Party, eroding our shared culture and way of life. If the left can imprison opponents and bring in a new voting base, we might still technically have elections — much like Saddam Hussein’s elections — but they would no longer influence governance. America would become a one-party state.

Despite an initial burst of astroturfed internet buzz, Kamala Harris has revealed herself to be the cynical, inept, and unlikeable DEI disaster every honest Democrat knew she was.

Harris was installed without winning a single primary, and the initial plan was to hide her from the public and hope that hatred for Trump would push her over the finish line. The campaign did its best to manage her exposure, but eventually Harris was required to begrudgingly make media appearances, in which she managed to embarrass herself despite having friendly interviewers and generous editing.

Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, took exactly the opposite approach. Both participated in lengthy interviews, often with hostile interlocutors, and performed admirably. A savvy embrace of new media and influential podcasters exposed younger male voters to Trump and Vance, energizing a critical demographic. Joe Rogan, probably the most culturally relevant talk show host since Oprah Winfrey, even put aside his previous support for Bernie Sanders to endorse the real estate tycoon. It’s clear that the momentum is on Trump’s side.

It is likely that we may not see a formal election result Tuesday night. The media has been preparing voters for a long counting process, and many state officials have echoed this refrain. For most of my life, one-night election results were the norm, and with the odd exception of the 2000 presidential election, everyone assumed this was the basic standard in an orderly First World country. The fact that the Democratic Party has succeeded in extending and obfuscating the election process should tell you everything about how far “our democracy” has fallen.

Even if Trump does secure the necessary votes, the battle will be far from over. Several Democrats have already announced their intention to reject certification even if Trump secures a legitimate victory, and you can be sure that leftist groups are already planning violence if he returns to office.

If Trump does become the 47th president, he will still face an uphill battle against a malicious media, hostile deep state, and corrupt Republican Party. A Trump victory is not a panacea, and conservatives will need to do the hard work of holding him to his promises while building local and state power.

But none of these challenges matter if Harris is installed to carry out the disastrous leftist agenda. So on Election Day, remember that you witnessed a miracle and fight for the future of your country. May God forever bless our country, bringing us to repentance and guiding us to a better future.

An unhinged leftist in Florida was caught on video apparently kicking a “Veterans for Trump” yard sign and leaving the homeowner a nasty “go to hell” note for supporting a “low-life pig.”

The Pembroke Pines homeowner didn’t want to reveal his identity, but he shared surveillance video of the incident — along with an image of the handwritten note — with WPLG-TV.

‘You’re a disgrace to the military and a disgrace to this country for supporting a low-life pig like Donald Trump.’

The video shows a male wandering over to a “Veterans for Trump” sign on the front lawn and kicking it before walking away, the station said.

The male returned a minute later, focused on the home, and then came back a third time to leave a note in the home’s mailbox, WPLG reported.

“First thing is, I was worried about my home, and I worried about my kids and my wife who was there, because I wasn’t there at the time,” the homeowner told the station.

The homeowner also told WPLG that the energy and effort the perp exerted to accomplish his task was alarming — not to mention the words in the letter, which went after the homeowner.

“It talks about how I was a disgrace to my country and a disgrace to the U.S. military because of my choice in candidate,” the homeowner added to the station. “And at the very end of the letter, it actually tells me to ‘go to hell.’”

The full letter reads:

You’re a disgrace to the military and a disgrace to this country for supporting a low-life pig like Donald Trump. Shame on you! You might as well take down your Army sign. Your military service means NOTHING to me. Go to hell.

WPLG said the note in question caught the attention of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.

The station added that a number of political signs have been stolen from homes across Plantation, and angry residents also reported thefts in Fort Lauderdale. WPLG also noted that banners were taken down repeatedly farther south in Miami’s Coconut Grove neighborhood.

According to a post by America First Legal on X, a U.K.-based organization is using its U.S. and Biden-Harris influence to silence Americans and end their right to free speech. The organization is called the Center for Countering Digital Hate, and in its short existence, it has a colorful history of interfering with free speech both in the U.K. and in the U.S.

To name just one notable example from the past, CCDH is infamous for its “direct involvement in online censorship” in the “affair around the ‘naming and shaming’ of the supposed Covid ‘Disinformation Dozen.’” This, according to AFL’s X post, involved CCDH “explicitly calling for these Americans, including [Robert F. Kennedy Jr.], to be de-platformed.”

We only need to look across the pond to the UK to see our future if we don’t stand up against these flagrant attacks on our liberties now.

However, it has come to light that CCDH may also be attempting to censor free speech more recently. New documents have come to light that allegedly the U.K. and U.S. branches of CCDH have been colluding to censor free speech. The internal documents include some damning statements, yet there is a deeper issue for which America First Legal is demanding an investigation.

America First Legal requested the Center for Countering Digital Hate to be investigated under the Foreign Agents Registration Act due to its alleged ties to U.K. political actors. The request asks the FARA Unit to investigate the U.S. branch of CCDH and members of its board and leadership “to determine whether they must register as agents of foreign principals, including the UK Labour Party and the Center for Countering Digital Hate Ltd. (‘CCDH UK’), due to their coordinated efforts to censor American citizens’ speech and interfere with our elections.”

The document names Simon Clark, Imran Ahmed, and Thomas Conrad Brookes, among others, as the people to be investigated in this FARA request.

As the request establishes, CCDH U.K. and the U.K. Labour Party are both considered FARA foreign principals. AFL explains that U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who is a member of the U.K. Labour Party, “has clashed with Elon Musk over X,” presumably over free speech issues on social media.

The letter continues: “CCDH UK shares an address with ‘Labour Together,’ a think tank associated with the UK Labour Party.” At this juncture, among others, there is a connection to the U.S. influence: “Labour Together’s chief executive, Jonathan Ashmorth, met with Kamala Harris’s campaign at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago to advise them on policy issues ahead of the general election.” CCDH has been called Labour Together’s “messaging vehicle” by some people, including Matt Taibbi. CCDH also claims credit for demonetizing news outlets that “allegedly published ‘fake news’” in the U.K.

AFL’s main argument is that the “CCDH UK has enlisted CCDH US and members of its board and Leadership Team to advocate for similar censorship policies in the United States, apparently to combat and change America’s culture of free speech to advance the UK Labour Party’s political and social agenda.” There is also little to no separation between the two branches: “CCDH US and CCDH UK share the same mission and reporting chain of command.”

Because of the lack of material separation in leadership, organization, and mission, and because it “acts as an agent for CCDH UK and the UK Labour Party, [CCDH US] appears to be required to register as an agent of a foreign principal under FARA.”

According to recently leaked documents, CCDH U.S.’ agenda includes several political activities in line with and on behalf of foreign principles. For example, the “Annual Priorities” included “Kill Musk’s Twitter,” “Advertising focus,” “Trigger EU & UK regulatory action,” and “Progress towards change in USA.”

This agenda aligns with its past actions and is grounds for the charge of political action on behalf of a foreign principal: “CCDH US has attempted to influence the Federal and State governments of the United States policies regarding [censorship] on social media platforms.”

The CCDH and U.K. Labour Party are actively involved in pushing censorship in the United States. Americans’ right to free speech is being assaulted at the highest levels of government. American First Legal is standing up against this blatant attack on our First Amendment Rights, but there is no guarantee that this election interference and censorship will end. We only need to look across the pond to the U.K. to see our future if we don’t stand up against these flagrant attacks on our liberties now.

Kamala’s campaign had a “brat summer,” and on Election Day, it is now well into its “Adolf autumn” — but is it working?

Blaze Media senior politics editor Christopher Bedford doesn’t seem to think so, calling it “the stupidest national campaign” of his lifetime. “I’ve never seen one run so off the wall. At first, without the excuse of COVID, they skipped interviews, they skipped public appearances, they wouldn’t even let the VP out there because he couldn’t talk about any of the policies.”

While Kamala focused heavily on college-age kids, Bedford tells Jill Savage and Matthew Peterson of “Blaze News Tonight” that “it’s not actually going to gain back the voting blocks.”

Now, in a last ditch effort, the campaign is doubling down on calling Trump “Hitler.”

“Democrats did really well with the Hitler thing, but it’s been worth less each time,” Bedford explains. “I think a lot of voters have moved on, and any actual scientific real expensive measure of what voters care about confirms the age-old axiom that it is the economy, and right behind that is the border.”

Female voters who support Kamala Harris are also far less interested in the Hitler rhetoric than they are in abortion.

“On the one hand, they are spending money, the super pacs are spending money, the more serious people I think are spending money, pushing the economic message, pushing the abortion message. But Kamala Harris is still up there doing January 6,” Bedford says.

“It just seems like an incredibly weak finish,” he adds.

Medical records appear to reveal that controversial Algerian boxer Imane Khelif is indeed a male with XY chromosomes.

Khelif became the focus of great controversy during the 2024 Paris Olympics, as the boxer easily won a gold medal in the women’s 66 kg boxing division.

A new investigative report from France’s Le Correspondant claims to have acquired Khelif’s medical records, which allegedly contained a joint report from 2023 conducted by both the the Kremlin-Bicêtre hospital in Paris and the Mohamed Lamine Debaghine hospital in Algiers.

‘People with this condition are genetically male with one X and one Y chromosome.’

According to endocrinological experts Soumaya Fedala and Jacques Young, the boxer is alleged to have a condition called Alpha 5 reductase type 2, a genetic anomaly that causes “metabolic dysfunction in testosterone and dehydroandrosterone.”

As defined by government website MedlinePlus, the condition affects sexual development before birth and during puberty.
“People with this condition are genetically male with one X and one Y chromosome,” the website reads.

Those affected also develop “increased muscle mass” during puberty but do not develop much facial or body hair.

An alleged screenshot was also included as evidence of the described disorder.

The report continued, stating Khelif was born to “parents who were perhaps co-blood relative[s]” and also “began to become virile during the post-pubescent period” with the appearance of “breast hypotrophy and pubic hair.”

A pelvic MRI also reportedly revealed the “absence of a uterus” and the presence of “gonads in inguinal canals,” meaning testicles in the abdomen. Additionally, a “blind vagina” and a micro-penis in the form of “clitoral hypertrophy” were identified.

A hormonal analysis also reportedly found testosterone levels similar to those of males.

The report concluded by recommending that Khelif be referred for “surgical correction and hormone therapy” while noting that psychological support would likely be required.

This information supports the findings of both the International Boxing Association and the World Boxing Organization, which had previously claimed that Khelif was born a man.

Spain’s Olympic boxing coach also gave credence to the idea in August when he said Khelif was too strong to box other women during a training camp.

None of this stopped Khelif from filing a criminal complaint with French authorities after the Olympics, alleging abuse through online harassment. Elon Musk and author J.K. Rowling were both named in the complaint for comments they made online.

The new details come as the United Nations recently published a detailed study on how many women have lost athletic competitions due to men competing in their categories. As of March 2024, more than 600 female athletes have been pushed off podiums in 29 sporting categories, resulting in the loss of almost 900 medals in 400 categories.

Election Day is finally here, and one of the last outrageous comments we’ll hear from a leftist celebrity before the decision is made will not soon be forgotten as not only was it completely untrue but extremely sexist.

And it came from former Trump supporter Mark Cuban.

“Donald Trump, you never see him around strong intelligent women ever. It’s just that simple,” Cuban said in an interview on “The View.”

While Trump-supporting women were offended by the comments, the former president’s response to Cuban’s insane remarks made it all better.

“Mark Cuban, a really dumb guy, who thinks he’s ‘hot stuff’ but he’s absolutely nothing, is now out there saying that I don’t surround myself with strong women,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social. “Actually, he is very wrong, I surround myself with the strongest of women – with the understanding that ALL women are great, whether strong or not strong.”

Trump went on to explain that Cuban would call him “incessantly” while he was in office to the point where he had to explain that he had “a lot of things to do” and couldn’t be “taking so many pointless calls” from the celebrity.

“In any event, that affected him greatly, because he’s a very insecure guy, and a Major LOSER, always has been and always will be! Nobody likes him, nobody respects him, and he’s unattractive both inside and out! He should go back to talk about the person he was forced to support, because I didn’t want it, Lyin’ Kamala Harris. Also, he’s got no clubhead speed,” Trump continued.

“He attacked his golf game,” Pat Gray of “Pat Gray Unleashed” laughs. “That’s below the belt.”

Nate Cohn, chief political analyst at the New York Times, predicts a Donald Trump victory on Election Day could reveal the death of the Democratic Party as we know it.

In his Election Day newsletter, Cohn outlined what he believes are the four possible election outcomes: a big Kamala Harris victory, a repeat of 2020 (tight election with small margins in swing states), a repeat of 2022 (in which Republicans won the popular vote but lost key races), or a decisive Trump victory.

‘This scenario would reveal the extent that it destroyed the Democratic Party as we knew it, too.’

That final outcome, Cohn explained, could be more impactful on the future of American politics than people realize.

According to Cohn, this election “should be a Republican victory” if analyzed on paper. The reasons? The poor economy, President Joe Biden’s unpopularity, and the fact that voters believe the country is headed in the wrong direction. Cohn, moreover, explained the “signs of a Republican victory have been building for years,” citing Republican advantages in party identification, party registration, and Election Day turnout in battleground states.

What’s worse, Cohn said the polls — like they did in 2016 and 2020 — could be once again underestimating Trump.

“The pollsters never found a convincing explanation for what went wrong, and the simplest one is that they just can’t reach enough of Mr. Trump’s less engaged supporters. Despite their efforts over the last eight years, there may simply be no fix for this problem,” he wrote.

“In this scenario, Ms. Harris’s apparent strength among white and older voters, or her resilience in the Midwestern battlegrounds, is nothing more than another polling mirage — in exactly the same states where the polls got it wrong four and eight years ago,” Cohn explained. “Add in Mr. Trump’s gains among young, Black and Hispanic voters and you end up with a decisive victory for him.”

If this scenario plays out on Election Day, Cohn predicted that it would initiate a “new era of politics,” one defined by a historic voter realignment.

“The rise of Mr. Trump’s brand of conservative populism has transformed American politics. It redefined the basic political conflict between the two parties. It led to major demographic shifts, first with Mr. Trump making huge gains among the white working class and now with nonwhite voters, while Democrats gained among white college graduates,” Cohn wrote. “If the shifts endure after Mr. Trump, historians might well look back and say that the 2024 result was the culmination of the populist realignment he unleashed a decade ago.”

The result of that realignment, according to Cohn, is not only a Republican Party that does not resemble the GOP of old, but the death of the contemporary Democratic Party.

“It has long been clear that Mr. Trump’s rise destroyed the Republican Party as we knew it,” Cohn wrote. “This scenario would reveal the extent that it destroyed the Democratic Party as we knew it, too.”

The Trump campaign and Republican lawmakers are urging Pennsylvania voters to proceed to their polling places and to remain in line despite the malfunctions now affecting various voting machines in the Keystone State.

Footage went viral Tuesday morning showing an election official notifying frustrated Pennsylvania voters that the voting machines on site and elsewhere in Cambria County were down.

“Literally everybody in the county is having the exact same problem,” said the official, adding that would-be voters could either wait in line or fill out a ballot for her to take later to the courthouse.

Concerned Americans flooded the comments with questions about possible election shenanigans, their confidence having likely already been shaken by
recent reports of alleged “large scale” voter fraud and poll watchers being turned away in various areas in Pennsylvania.

‘No one should be turned away from the polls if they wish to cast their vote.’

confirmed that the malfunctions were taking place in Cambria County, where Trump beat Biden in 2020 by 37 percentage points, and noted that “voters are continuing to vote by paper ballot, in accordance with normal operations, while the county resolves the issue with in-precinct scanning.”

“We are working with the County to resolve this technical matter and remain committed to ensuring a free, fair, safe, and secure election,” said the department.

Cambria County solicitor Ron Repak
said in a statement:

The Cambria County Board of Election learned early this morning that a software malfunction in the County’s Electronic Voting System has prevented voters from scanning their ballots. This should not discourage voters from voting at their voting precincts. The Board has filed a Court Order extending the time to vote within Cambria County. No one should be turned away from the polls if they wish to cast their vote.

The Republican Party amplified the
suggestion by Alex Meyer, deputy political director for the Trump campaign, that “voters should still proceed to their polling places as planned.”

“The voting process is ongoing, and a court order has been filed in hopes of extended voting hours to 10pm to ensure everyone has an opportunity to cast their ballot,” Meyer wrote on X.

‘Do it for Corey.’

“Both electronic voting via express voting machines and hand-marked paper ballots are available at polling places. Completed ballots, regardless of format, will be accepted, secured, and counted by the Board of Elections,” continued Meyer.

Meyer noted further that the county’s board of elections has assured voters that all submitted ballots “will be safeguarded and included in the final count.”

GOP chairman Michael Whatley
emphasized the importance of voters remaining in line:

We understand that there are some line delays on the ground. We need you to stay in line. We need you to fill out your ballot in full and deliver it. Our Pennsylvania lawyers are all over this issue and will ensure fairness and accuracy in the process. Stay in line! Deliver your ballot!

Various other conservatives implored Republican voters to stick it out.

Jack Posobiec, senior editor at Human Events,
wrote, for instance, “For every second you get stuck in line or face an issue at the polls[,] Remember there is one man who wasn’t able to vote this year[.] A Pennsylvanian[.] His name was Corey Comperatore[.] Do it for Corey.”

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna
tweeted, “Stay in line!”

Mike Davis of the Article III Project noted that despite the voter machine issues, “Kamala Democrats are fighting in court against a mere 3-hour extension to ensure voters can vote. Kamala Democrats are fighting to disenfranchise voters on Election Day. Stay in line, Trump voters.”

WTAJ-TV reported that just before 11 a.m., a court ordered that Cambria County polls will remain open until 10 p.m., affording voters additional time to cast their votes.

Pollsters have indicated that the election may hinge on the final result in Pennsylvania, where AtlasIntel’s
final poll showed President Donald Trump leading by 1 percentage point.

A Georgia poll worker was arrested Monday and accused of mailing a letter appearing to come from a voter who threatened to bomb and rape election staffers, the Department of Justice said.

Nicholas Wimbish, 25, was serving as a poll worker at the Jones County Elections Office on Oct. 16 when he allegedly had a verbal altercation with a voter, the DOJ said, citing the criminal complaint.

‘The liberal young men will get beatdown if they fight me. They will get the treason punishment by firing squad if they fight back. … They should watch every move they make looking over their shoulder.’

Later that evening, Wimbish conducted online research to determine what information about himself was publicly available, the DOJ said, adding that the next day, Wimbish mailed a letter addressed to the Jones County Elections Superintendent, purportedly from a “Jones County Voter.”

The letter allegedly was drafted to make it appear as if it came from the voter, the DOJ added.

According to charging papers revealed by Reuters, the letter complained that Wimbish is a “young liberal woke idiot” who was trying to “influence” people’s “votes in line” and “distracting voters from concentrating.”

Here’s an excerpt from the letter detailed in the charging papers:

Yesterday I had your young liberal woke idiot Nicholas Wimbish give me hell. … He tries to influence peoples votes in line. … I researched a newspaper article about Nicholas Wimbish and other woke liberal fraudsters impostering to be patriots. I found another young dumb liberal idiot guy I stood in line by in that paper too he was talking to. I recognized his picture now I know his name is [Person 1]. I am on the hunt for him because he is a closeted liberal election fraudster like Nicholas Wimbish. They were conspiring votes in my line then distracting voters from concentrating.

An FBI special agent investigating Wimbish noted in the charging papers that he believes Wimbish “conducted the Google search on his own name to confirm what information was available about him and other poll workers online. I believe that Wimbish wrote the letter pretending to be Person 2, because the letter references Wimbish and Person 1 ‘distracting voters’ — the same complaint that Person 2 voiced the day before the letter was dated.”

Here’s another letter excerpt from the charging papers:

I saw young woke libs ladies [Person 3] and [Person 4]. A pic of one young lady has her f***ing up my ballot so they all did it to everyone. Your woke liberal should look over their shoulder I have to do whatever it takes for [Candidate A] to win Georgia. I know where they go. I know where they all live because I found home voting addresses for all them. The liberal young men will get beatdown if they fight me. They will get the treason punishment by firing squad if they fight back. … They should watch every move they make looking over their shoulder. The ladies are sexy and thick. I will do rage rape. They should watch every move they make and look over their shoulder. … Tell them I know where they live and will find them all one night. I will follow them on the road. You won’t stop them so I will stop them from your election fraud. This is how patriots do it. Bad things will happen to prevent civil war. … They will learn a violent lesson about stealing our elections!

The charging papers state that the letter ended with a handwritten note, “PS boom toy in early vote place, cigar burning, be safe.” The FBI special agent noted in the charging papers that “based on my training and experience I know that ‘boom toy’ may reference an explosive device and ‘cigar burning’ may reference a delayed fuse ignitor.”

What happened next?

The charging papers go on to state that the FBI interviewed Wimbish on Oct. 23, and he told agents that on Oct. 16 “a voter whose name he did not know at the time chastised him for speaking with Person 1 because it prevented the voter from concentrating. The voter asked to see Wimbish’s identification badge and read Wimbish’s name out loud from it.” The charging papers add that “Wimbish was present when the letter was received” on Oct. 22 “and, after reading the letter, identified the author of the letter as the voter” from Oct. 16, whom the FBI calls “Person 2.”

Wimbish on Oct. 23 didn’t tell the FBI that he wrote and mailed the “threatening letter. Instead, Wimbish blamed the voter he had interacted with, Person 2.”

The charging papers note that on Nov. 4, the FBI “searched, pursuant to legal process, a personal computer belonging to Wimbish. The FBI found in the print spooler the letter referenced above. The FBI also found a document dated October 18, 2024 referencing a ‘Boom Toy.'”

Wimbish is charged with mailing a bomb threat, conveying false information about a bomb threat, mailing a threatening letter, and making false statements to the FBI, the DOJ said, adding that if he faces a maximum penalty of 25 years in prison if convicted.

Reuters said a lawyer for Wimbish could not be immediately identified.

Anything else?

Wimbish was one of several current and former students profiled in a May article posted to the Georgia College & State University’s publication Front Page, according to WAGA-TV.

The article stated that Wimbish had just graduated with a master’s in public administration, WAGA noted, adding that he previously earned a degree in political science with a minor in rhetoric and had plans to teach or manage elections.

“I thought this certificate would be a way to add personal and academic value to my experiences,” Wimbish told the publication, according to WAGA, and he also said that “working any election in any capacity — whether for an internship or not — is a crowning moment. The sense of achievement, being a part of democracy-in-action, is rewarding.”

Wimbish also told the publication that after being named poll manager, in charge of a precinct in Jones County, he had plans to work on Election Day.

Star quarterback Patrick Mahomes has yet another family member publicly supporting Donald Trump as his mother made a clear endorsement for the former president during “Monday Night Football.”

The Kansas City Chiefs stayed undefeated at 8-0 with a 30-24 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night, but it was Mahomes’ mother, Randi, who was making headlines before the game even started.

In a video that made its rounds on social media, the Mahomes matriarch is seen wearing pro-Trump attire inside the stadium.

“Make America Great Again! Let’s do it,” she said, as the stands in Arrowhead Stadium slowly filled in the background.

The short video is part of a puzzle football fans have had to piece together regarding whether or not the Chiefs quarterback is a Trump supporter himself.

In September, Mahomes’ wife, Brittany, faced backlash on social media for “liking” messages of support for the former president.

Mrs. Mahomes responded to detractors on her Instagram page, saying that in order to be a “hater” as an adult, one must have “have some deep rooted issues.”

“There’s no reason your brain is fully developed and you hate to see others doing well,” she added.

Trump responded by saying, “I want to thank beautiful Brittany Mahomes for so strongly defending me.”

“What a great couple,” Trump added.

‘I don’t want my place and my platform to be used to endorse a candidate.’

Mahomes was asked by reporters days later about his wife’s support for Trump, but the athlete expertly pivoted and said he didn’t want his position to be used for politics.

“I think I’ve always said I don’t want my place and my platform to be used to endorse a candidate or do whatever either way,” Mahomes said. “I think my place is to inform people to get registered to vote, is to inform people to do their own research and then make their best decision for them and their family. And so, I think every time I’m on this stage and I get asked these questions, I’m going to refer back to that because I think that’s what makes America so great.”

Mahomes also faced questions about his teammate Travis Kelce, whose business choices and relationships seem skewed in the other direction politically.

Kelce has not only signed endorsement deals with Bud Light and Pfizer, but his girlfriend Taylor Swift has fully endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris along with other Democrats in the past.

Mahomes was asked about being seen in high-profile events with Kelce and Swift:

“Is that an important image to show? People who may have different philosophies?” a journalist asked at the time.

Mahomes responded by saying he has “grown up with people from every aspect of life and every background” and always hoped people can come together with different beliefs to achieve a common goal.

“I think if we can do that as a nation, I think we can get the best out of each other,” Mahomes went on. “I think that’s something that I do every single day, and whenever I’m hanging out with whoever, I’m not thinking about their political views. I’m thinking about the people and how they treat other people.”

Mahomes has continuously fought off calls from the media to pick a side and continues to sidestep endorsing any political view. Even after a shooting at last season’s Super Bowl parade, Mahomes said he was not willing to call for gun control despite it being a typical trope among celebrities following a highly publicized shooting.

“I continue to educate myself,” he simply said.

Joe Rogan, the massively popular podcaster who supported Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in 2020 and
signaled he would back Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) were he to go the distance in 2024, long expressed reluctance about having President Donald Trump on his show.

Rogan finally gave in late last month and sat down for three hours with the Republican president for an interview that went viral despite YouTube’s
apparent censorship efforts. Although the titular host of “The Joe Rogan Experience” appeared receptive to Trump’s various policy proposals and his commentary about the issues facing the nation, Rogan refrained from endorsing the president — until Monday night after Elon Musk detailed his own reasons for backing Trump.

Rogan
noted after the nearly three-hour interview Monday that Musk, a former Democrat, made “the most compelling case for Trump you’ll hear” and agreed with the tech magnate “every step of the way.”

While their conversation was replete with indications that might account for why Rogan finally endorsed Kamala Harris’ opponent — such as the falsity of both the Democrat-constructed Russian collusion narrative and the party’s promise of change; Harris’ censorial reflex and dislikable personality; economic woes; Democrats’ failure or unwillingness to tackle crime; reckless government spending; the border crisis; the promise of Trump’s “Make America Healthy Again” movement; and the slaying of
Peanut the squirrel — Musk highlighted four key reasons Trump was the optimal choice.

To save America from a ‘one-party state’

Musk, who has reportedly poured
hundreds of millions of dollars into efforts to see Trump elected, emphasized that should the Republican candidate lose the election, America will in turn “lose the two-party system.”

The tech billionaire reasoned that there are only a handful of swing states where the margin of victory is small, “often 10 or 20,000 votes.”

Musk echoed the concern Rogan
raised with Sen. John Fetterman on the previous episode, namely that “the Democrat administration has been … importing vast numbers of illegal aliens into swing states.”

“What we’re seeing is triple-digit increases in the numbers of illegals in every swing state. Some cases, 700% increases. These are gigantic numbers,” said Musk, stressing that these numbers are far in excess of what would be necessary to permanently lock swing states for the Democrats.

‘If Trump doesn’t win, this is the last election.’

“Once the swing states vote blue, there is no election anymore,” continued Musk. “There’s only a Democrat primary.”

“Which is so crazy,” Rogan responded. “And it’s so crazy that people are fine with that.”

Musk indicated that the ultimate result would be a “one-party state” whose Democratic commissars could continue the project of overwhelming resistive states with illegal aliens until the remaining resistance is electorally neutralized.

While the Tesla CEO intimated that amnesty might play a big role in this scheme, he indicated that illegal aliens will be able to put their thumbs on the scale long before receiving citizenship, referencing successful Democratic efforts to eliminate voter ID laws.

Steven Camarota, the director of research for the Center of Immigration Studies,
noted in a recent op-ed that illegal aliens are also counted in the census, meaning blue states will enjoy greater and greater representation in Congress the longer the border crisis goes unchecked.

“If Trump doesn’t win, this is the last election,” reiterated Musk.

Rogan replied, “I think you’re right.”

To save the Constitution

Musk noted that there has been a concerted campaign by Democrats to infringe upon Americans’ rights and to render the Constitution a dead document.

“There have been all these attacks on the Constitution, especially on the Democrat side. They have been repeatedly saying that the First Amendment is an obstacle,” said Musk. “And they’re claiming, ‘Oh, the First Amendment is enabling disinformation, misinformation.’ And I’m like, ‘Yo, there’s a reason for the First Amendment.'”

Democrats have been explicit about their problems with the First Amendment and the speech rights it guarantees.

Tim Wu, a former special assistant to President Biden for competition and tech policy and author of one of Biden’s executive orders,
complained in July that the “First Amendment is out of control” and recommended reining it in.

Former Biden-Harris climate czar John Kerry
noted during a World Economic Forum panel discussion on trade and so-called sustainability in September that “our First Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to just, you know, hammer [‘disinformation’] out of existence.”

The Biden-Harris administration has evidenced in practice its hostility toward free speech. For instance, it leaned on social media companies to
silence dissenting voices during the pandemic; launched the Department of Homeland Security’s short-lived Disinformation Governance Board and tasked an advocate for deplatforming Trump to run the censorship outfit; weaponized the State Department to clamp down on undesirable speech; and worked to control speech on the internet.

“If you don’t have freedom of speech, you don’t have democracy,” Musk told Rogan. “If you don’t have freedom of speech, people cannot make an informed vote. If they’re just being
fed propaganda, and there’s no freedom of speech, democracy is an illusion.”

Musk noted further that the Second Amendment — similarly under assault by Harris and her fellow Democrats — serves to ensure Americans can fight off those tyrannical forces that would dare undermine the First Amendment.

“I’ve had these debates, especially with people in L.A., because they
want to take everyone’s guns away, and I’m like, ‘Yo, can you guarantee me that the government — that we’ll never have a tyrannical government in the United States? Can you make that guarantee?’ They’re like, ‘Well, nobody can make that guarantee.’ I’m like, ‘Then we need to keep our guns,'” said Musk. “Because that’s what’s going to stop it.”

Harris’ campaign website noted that if elected, she would “ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, require universal background checks, and support red flag laws that keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people.”

In the past, Harris has threatened to storm the homes of law-abiding Americans for surprise gun inspections and sponsored a handgun ban.

To save America from suffocating regulation

Musk told Rogan that regulation has stymied innovation, such that it apparently takes longer for Space X to gain approval from regulatory agencies for a rocket launch than it takes to build the actual rockets.

When making his case for why a return to Trump’s style of relative deregulation is optimal, Musk likened regulators to referees in a game of football.

“You don’t want to have no refs. You want to have some number of refs. But you don’t want to have way more refs than players,” said Musk. “‘Well, the running back couldn’t complete the pass because there were too many regulators in the way because the football field was full of regulators.’ Like, you can’t even play the game.”

Musk
said in September that if Trump wins, “We do have an opportunity to do kind of a once-in-a-lifetime deregulation and reduction in the size of government.”

To save America from foreign entanglements

The duo broached the subject of the left’s desperate attempts to
liken Trump to Adolf Hitler. Musk made a point of noting that Hitler is so despised because he committed genocide and effectively started war with Western civilization.

“Tell me about the wars and genocide that Trump did. Uh, I don’t remember that, and he was president for four years,” said Musk. “It’s insane. It makes no sense.”

Rogan noted, “He’s campaigning on stopping all the wars. It’s like his primary concern.”

‘Vote like your life depends on it because I think it does.’

“Exactly! The war mongers like Liz Cheney hate him,” added Musk. “Because they love war. … They profit off of war.”

Former Jan. 6 committee member Liz Cheney and her father, Dick Cheney — a champion of the invasion of Iraq, which cost
thousands of U.S. service lives and trillions of dollars — are among the interventionists who have backed Harris. Harris and Cheney recently denounced Trump’s “isolationism,” calling his aversion to foreign entanglements “dangerous.”

Rogan indicated that he felt a sense of cognitive dissonance when the left celebrated Dick Cheney’s Harris endorsement: “It’s the craziest turn — the craziest 180 I’ve ever seen in my life.”

“Yeah, can we play all the videos where you said Dick Cheney was the devil?” Musk replied, laughing.

“The war-profiteers hate Trump,” said Musk. “Which is f***ed up. … We should be like, ‘Yeah, let’s vote for the guy war-profiteers hate. That sounds like a great idea.'”

The tech billionaire noted further that the “Kamala puppet regime” is a guarantee for more war.

Musk concluded the interview by emphasizing the “men need to vote.”

“This is a message to the men out there: Vote like your life depends on it because I think it does,” said Musk. “Nothing is more important.”

Texas leaders aren’t taking any chances with election integrity this year. They have unleashed a task force to guard against irregularities, and they’ve told federal agents looking to assist in that effort to pound sand.

On Monday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican and a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump, announced in a press release that he had amassed an Election Day Rapid Response Legal Team whose sole purpose is “to monitor day-of election activity and address litigation arising from the election.”

‘Texas law is clear: Justice Department monitors are not permitted inside a polling place where ballots are being cast.’

Members of this task force will be dispatched to polling stations across the state, charged with investigating allegations of election fraud and voter suppression.

“The Election Day Rapid Response Legal Team will be equipped to enforce Texas election laws and take immediate action on any contingencies, including issues seen in previous cycles such as ballot shortages, extended polling location closures, and improper extension of voting hours,” the press release said.

Paxton’s press release also added that this team of legal experts is prepared to take on any “activist groups” seeking to affect the outcome of the election through “litigation.”

“There is no issue more important and more fundamental to our nation than election integrity,” Paxton said in a statement. “Our Election Day Rapid Response Legal Team will be on the frontline on November 5th. We will defend the ballot box from any bad actors seeking to unduly influence or illegally undermine Texas elections.”

Paxton is not the only elected official in Texas who wants to secure the state’s elections. Secretary of State Jane Nelson (R) also promised to ensure that all eligible voters have a chance to participate in a “free and fair election” but warned the U.S. Department of Justice not to interfere.

“Texas law is clear: Justice Department monitors are not permitted inside a polling place where ballots are being cast or a central counting station where ballots are being counted,” Nelson wrote in a letter dated November 1 and addressed to an administrator of the Civil Rights Division – Voting Section of the DOJ.

The division had previously pledged to send agents to “monitor” polling stations in 27 states — including Alaska, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, and Texas — for “compliance with federal voting rights laws.”

Florida likewise told DOJ election monitors to steer clear, as Blaze News previously reported.

“As a reminder, Department of Justice monitors are not permitted inside a polling place under Florida law. Section 102.031(3)(a) of the Florida Statues lists the people who ‘may enter any polling room or polling place.’ Department of Justice personnel are not included on the list,” Secretary of State Cord Byrd wrote in a letter last week.

When federal agents raided the rural Virginia farm of Thomas Caldwell on Jan. 19, 2021, they were sure he was a kingpin of the Oath Keepers and the architect of a heinous attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

They treated him as such.

The permanently disabled Navy veteran said he was thrown onto the hood of an FBI sedan after a SWAT team lit him and his wife, Sharon, up with red lasers in the freezing air on the porch of their farmhouse in Berryville, Virginia.

“I had asked them five separate times, ‘What am I being charged with? What am I being charged with?’ They finally said, ‘Trespassing.’ I said, ‘Are you out of your mind? You come here and point guns in my wife’s face for trespassing? Where am I supposed to have trespassed?’ They said, ‘Well, you went into the Capitol.’”

Caldwell never entered the Capitol, but he spent nearly two months in isolation after being kicked, beaten, and mocked upon his initial intake at a Virginia jail. He said guards mocked his Christian faith as they kicked him in the groin.

“The guy that was the kicker said to me, he said, ‘Where’s your Sky Daddy? Where’s your Sky Daddy? Gonna come down here and help you?’ He was referring, of course, to Jesus Christ. I never want to forget it,” Caldwell said in 2022. “I never want to forget it.”

The Central Virginia Regional Jail conducted an internal investigation after Caldwell’s descriptions were published in the Epoch Times. The sheriff said he could not substantiate Caldwell’s assertions.

Caldwell had spinal fusion surgery on his neck on Oct. 22. He had a total hip replacement in May 2022.

Nearly four years later, the government’s story about Caldwell has dramatically changed. He’s no longer the plot-keeper or the mastermind of a potential armed assault on the Capitol, and prosecutors are no longer seeking to send him to prison for 14 years. Caldwell is scheduled for a Nov. 18 sentencing hearing in Washington, D.C.

Caldwell was found guilty by a jury of a single count: tampering with evidence — that being photos on his own phone that were backed up on a home computer and on Facebook.

Caldwell was originally found guilty of the dubious 20-year felony “obstruction of an official proceeding” that was chopped down by the U.S. Supreme Court in a landmark June 28 ruling. The DOJ has since withdrawn the charge that led to that guilty verdict.

In a trial that ran from Sept. 27 to Nov. 29, 2022, Caldwell was found not guilty of conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, seditious conspiracy, and attempting to prevent a member of Congress from discharging duties.

His four co-defendants — including Oath Keepers founder Elmer Stewart Rhodes III — were sentenced in 2023. Three remain in prison, and one has been released on probation.

The 70-year-old U.S. Navy veteran faces sentencing only for the obstruction of justice/tampering with evidence count. Defense attorney David Fischer is asking U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta to sentence Caldwell to time served, meaning the 53 days he spent in pretrial detention at Central Virginia Regional Jail. Caldwell has been in home detention for the 833 days since.

‘A lot of the things that they’re saying are horrible and seditious are mocking and jibing and poking fun with friends.’

“Caldwell’s medical ailments, his status as a Zero-Point Offender, his full acquittal on January 6-related conspiracy counts at a time when D.C. juries had not acquitted a single defendant of a single count (65-0), his perfect performance while on pretrial release, and his military service that resulted in a lifetime of debilitating injuries suggest that a sentence of time-served (53 days) is appropriate,” Fischer wrote in a six-page supplemental sentencing memo filed Nov. 4 in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C.

Fischer said Caldwell had spinal fusion surgery on his neck on Oct. 22. He had a total hip replacement in May 2022. He suffered debilitating injuries caused by a mortar round during a classified mission in the Philippines. Fischer has described his client as a “physical wreck.”

“Respectfully, a sentence that includes incarceration would be inappropriate based upon Caldwell’s recent fusion surgery and his status as a 100 percent service-connected disabled veteran,” Fischer wrote.

Caldwell and his wife attended the Jan. 6 protest at the Capitol. He did not enter the building, commit violence, or vandalize the property. The pair did walk up stairs to the Lower West Terrace to take selfies and then retreated.

What Caldwell did was to write, talk, and cuss like a sailor about the 2020 presidential election and the Democrat leadership in Congress. He used an encrypted messaging app to fire off colorful missives to some of his veteran buddies.

“A lot of the things that they’re saying are horrible and seditious are mocking and jibing and poking fun with friends—in private conversations—sometimes with one person in a text message, or two people,” Caldwell told the Epoch Times in 2022. “In fact, some of these things are with guys that are 75 miles away in Virginia, who are at their farms, drunk as lords, as they say, watching stuff on TV.”

‘Caldwell’s conduct and behavior were more akin to a loud-mouth Walter Mitty.’

Prosecutors presented as credible the statements Caldwell made about using duck skiffs to ferry weapons across the Potomac River as part of a “quick-reaction force” to attack the Capitol. He was cited by prosecutors for suggesting he would use the doorknob of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office as a bathroom wipe.

Caldwell was never a member of the Oath Keepers, although some Oath Keepers camped on his farm property while attending protests in Washington, D.C., in November and December 2020. Prosecutors continue to tie him to the Oath Keepers.

“Caldwell plotted with other affiliates of the Oath Keepers to forcibly oppose the certification of the 2020 presidential election, and then he joined the mob that attacked the Capitol on January 6, 2021,” prosecutors wrote in their 14-page Nov. 4 supplemental sentencing memorandum. “In his own words, Caldwell ‘heard that Pence f**ked us … so I grabbed up my American flag and said, ‘Let’s take the damn Capitol’ and, ‘Let’s storm the place and hang the traitors.’”

In his court filings, Fischer has tried to separate his client’s bluster from the alleged elements of the charged crime.

“Caldwell’s conduct and behavior were more akin to a loud-mouth Walter Mitty than the Rambo-type figure the government has portrayed him since his arrest,” Fischer wrote in May 2023.

Fischer said the photos Caldwell was charged with deleting were backed up on Facebook and a home computer.

“The deleted/unsent items were not exactly akin to throwing a murder weapon in the river and, thus, were neither essential nor ‘especially probative,’” Fischer wrote. “The jury, importantly, did not find the deleted/unsent items particularly probative. The deleted/unsent items were introduced by the government to the jury, which subsequently acquitted Caldwell on all conspiracy counts.”

Prosecutors have described the Caldwell case in dark, sweeping, dramatic tones.

“It is not hyperbole to call what happened on January 6 a crime of historic magnitude,” they wrote in the DOJ sentencing memo. “As judges of this district have repeatedly and clearly stated, January 6 was an unprecedented disruption of the nation’s most sacred function—conducting the peaceful transfer of power.”

“‘The events that occurred at the Capitol on January 6th will be in the history books that our children read, our children’s children read and their children’s children read. It’s part of the history of this nation, and it’s a stain on the history of this nation,’” the DOJ memo stated, quoting from U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss.

​Politics, Doj, January 6, J6 

A true cowboy takes his hat off before dinner, in honor of the meal before him and the people who have provided it.

Forrie J. Smith from the hit show “Yellowstone” is one of these true blue cowboys with deep rancher roots, and he has some serious wisdom to impart to Glenn Beck of “The Glenn Beck Podcast” — as well as the rest of the country.

When Smith was a kid, he helped his grandfather take care of their cattle. However, he wasn’t so sure what the point of it all was.

“He looks at me with, ‘Well, son, we’re helping feed America. We’re helping feed our country,’ and that’s kind of the cowboy culture right there,” he tells Glenn. “We’re helping feed our country, we’re maintaining the grass and rotating our pasture to keep everything right.”

While there’s no doubt there’s an incredibly important purpose to the jobs of ranchers and farmers, the government has repeatedly attempted to hurt them through absurd rules and regulations — and it’s only getting worse.

“Another thing, Glenn, that really gets me is the cow farts,” Smith says. “We used to have 60 million buffalo and no telling how many elk running across the plains.”

“And they were farting animals,” Glenn laughs, though he notes that bison aren’t just good for farts. “There are no pure bison except in Yellowstone, and it’s my understanding that they sometimes thin the herd, and they just kill them instead of giving them to ranches so we can have pure-bred buffalo. The only pure buffalo or bison is owned by the government.”

“All of these people going hungry,” Smith says, disturbed. “It’s about one of the best meats you can eat.”

Not only is the government cracking down on meat born, raised, and butchered in the United States, but more of our meat is now coming from outside the country.

“30% of our beef now comes out of Brazil,” Smith explains. “We don’t know what has been done to it, you know, what did they inject in it before it got butchered, how are they butchering it, we have no clue.”

But it’s not just the agriculture industry that has Smith worried.

“I’m really scared of what’s going to happen after the election,” he tells Glenn. “I get around the country a lot more than I used to, and I’m meeting a lot of people and I talk to them about voting. And they’re like, ‘I ain’t voting any more; I’m just buying more bullets.’”

“That’s one of the things that’s wrong with this country right now, is people don’t stand up. We just keep getting along,” he continues, adding, “I just want to spread that feeling: ‘Hey, we’re Americans.’”

The only reason “60 Minutes” had to “significantly edit” Kamala Harris’ answers in her interview with Bill Whitaker is because “she’s so dumb” and “she’s so incapable of having a clear thought that’s not memorized,” says Mark Levin.

So “they covered for her,” he sighs. “Have you ever heard of a news organization doing such a thing?”

“We’re dealing with a fifth-grader,” he says of Harris. “What is this? A student government election in some elementary school?”

“Everybody is bending over backwards in the media, in Hollywood, in academia, in her party to try and find ways to smooth over the absolute imbecility that is this woman, just like they did with Biden,” Levin lambastes.

Just a few months ago, Kamala Harris was “the worst vice president in American history, which is why “they’ve been trying as best they can to recreate her.”

“The same people who lied about Biden, who covered up his dementia … then changed our electoral system to give us Kamala Harris. They’re the same people now who are active in and out of government, in and out of the Democrat Party, in and out of the campaign, who’ve created this caricature, this fiction, this woman as something she is not,” says Levin.

“She is not qualified to serve as president of the United States at any level and in any way — not by experience, not by intelligence, not by wisdom.”

“She likes to talk about bipartisanship” and claim that “she’ll bring the two parties together,” but the fact of the matter is “she was the most polarizing figure in the United State Senate, and I include Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders and Schumer,” Levin explains, adding that Harris “never participated in any bipartisan legislation.”

In fact, “she broke more tie votes … than any vice president in American history for the most radical kinds of legislation,” he explains, pointing to her support of Bidenomics, the Inflation Reduction Act, national health care, and ceasing fracking.

On top of that, the Biden-Harris regime opened the border, “bringing into the country Venezuelan gang members, killers, [and] rapists.”

“They can’t even do what they’re supposed to do,” says Levin. “They can’t run a balanced budget; they’re destroying the currency; interest on the debt is bigger than the defense budget; the defense budget is being slashed in the face of potential war with communist China.”

“Can you imagine the government [under Kamala Harris] running health care? Can you imagine the government determining prices and wages?” he asks.

“She doesn’t believe in the Constitution. She doesn’t believe in three branches of government [or] separation of powers.” She doesn’t believe in “delineated, limited powers for the federal government.”

“She never talks about liberty; she never talks about the Constitution unless she’s accusing Trump of trying to destroy it,” says Levin.

AtlasIntel, among the more accurate polling outfits in the 2020 presidential election, released the
results of its final state-level polls in 12 key states Monday night. The numbers do not look good for Kamala Harris.

According to the poll, President Donald Trump is positioned to beat Harris in all seven swing states — in Arizona, where he is leading by 5.1 percentage points; in Georgia (+1.6); in Michigan (+1.5); in Nevada (+3.1); in North Carolina (+2.1); in Pennsylvania (+1.0); and in Wisconsin (+0.9). After checking the political pulse in Montana, Ohio, and Texas, AtlasIntel indicated that Trump is also leading in those states by 8.5 points, 10.6 points, and 20.2 points, respectively.

Harris, meanwhile, has a healthy 5.4-point lead in Virginia and a 2-point lead in Minnesota, where Trump is 1.2 points behind Harris with likely white voters, significantly behind with Asian voters, but, surprisingly enough, leading among black voters — as well as leading by double digits with independents.

The stated margin of error is two percentage points for Pennsylvania, four points for Nevada, and three points for the other key states.

The AtlasIntel poll has some Republicans cautiously expressing excitement over the potential of beating Harris nationwide, but particularly in the home state of her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz. The Republican Party of Minnesota, for instance,
noted that Trump “is trailing Harris by just 2 pts. In 2016, Trump lost MN by less than 2 pts. VOTE, VOTE VOTE!”

AtlasIntel, one of the polling outfits frequently cited by Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight, indicated that where the Electoral College is concerned, “the contest remains open on the eve of Election Day,” adding that Pennsylvania has emerged “as the state most likely to decide the race, with its 19 electoral votes potentially securing the Electoral College majority for Trump.”

‘AtlastIntel has shown a structural advantage for Trump.’

AtlasIntel surveyed 1,840 respondents in Pennsylvania, finding that with third-party options available, 49.1% of likely voters would cast a ballot for Trump and 48.4% would vote for Harris. In a head-to-head, Trump was up 49.6% to 48.6%.

Meanwhile, Republican Senate candidate David McCormick lagged behind Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey (D) by roughly three points.

The gender divide seen elsewhere in the union prevailed in the Keystone State, where once again, the majority of men signaled support for Trump and the majority of women signaled support for Harris.

When broken down by age, Harris’ strongest support came from respondents ages 30-44. Among voters ages 18-29, Harris was up 46% to 44%. Trump was up by double digits among likely voters ages 45-64.

AtlasIntel’s findings appear to suggest that with Pennsylvania’s 19 Electoral College votes, Trump
might win 312-226.

“Since the beginning of this race, AtlastIntel has shown a structural advantage for Trump,” Andrei Roman, the CEO of AtlasIntel,
told Fox News’ Jesse Watters on Monday.

Roman indicated that there appears to be greater enthusiasm among conservative voters in this election, highlighting an increased turnout in rural areas, which historically vote Republican, and “quite depressed turnout” in historically Democratic urban areas. As for the suburbs, Roman noted that “more conservative voters are showing up and sort of compensating for progressive voters.”

In its Nov. 4 national poll, AtlastIntel showed Trump leading Harris 50%-48.8%.
