It holds that our rights and our dignities come not from God, but from government.” “It requires of the people a subservience and weakness incompatible with a constitution premised on the transcendent origin of our rights.”
– Clarence Thomas, Supreme Court Justice
“With 20 days till midterms, the American people have made up their minds about their leaders in Washington and their home districts. At this point, polls are just noise — it’s now all about which party can get their supporters to go vote.” – Frank Luntz, GOP Pollster
Fraud & Balancing the Budget: Unbelievable amounts of fraud is being exposed across the country… this is straight up theft from you and me!
Assistant US Attorney General for the National Fraud Enforcement Division says fraudsters are stealing so much money every year in America, it’s more than the entire budget of the Departments of Energy, Justice Department, and Department of Interior COMBINED!
D.O.G.E. found over TWELVE MILLION PEOPLE getting Social Security who were OVER 120 years old. And the U.S. government was paying monthly… to whom?
This is NOT a partisan issue… but it’s outrageous, and voters should be asking why. There are YOUR tax dollars being wasted and/or stolen.
And yet, some people keep voting for the crooks because they hate one guy… ironically, the guy who is exposing all this fraud.
Your “protest vote” has long-term negative effects… think long-term!
Voter Fraud is Real: Homeland Security Secretary announced 250,000 non-citizens registered to vote—and that’s only in California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Nevada. Forty-six other states still haven’t been fully checked.
One stolen vote… could be yours.
We now have example after example of illegal immigrants voting, fraudulent absentee ballots cast, dead people voting, and not just in Chicago!
This isn’t some conspiracy theory… we have a serious problem with our election process in many states… and EVERY American deserves to have their vote counted and NOT stolen.
Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Election integrity is critical to making democracy work and for our Republic to survive.
Fact Check Republicans: The House and Senate Republicans passed sweeping reforms that helped EVERY American.
President Trump backed them all the way. And remember, Trump is NOT on the ballot, he is NOT running again, and you are voting for the kind of America you want going forward.
REPUBLICANS have delivered:
✅ The largest tax cuts in U.S. history
✅ Totally secured borders
✅ 1 million private sector jobs
✅ Lowest violent crime in 126 yrs
✅ Largest decline in Rx drug costs in 60 years
✅ First-ever nationwide school choice program
Elections have consequences… looks who’s supporting whom?!?
A protest vote is a wasted vote… and potentially dangerous when elections are so close and EVERY vote matters.
Listen to what the radical left is saying, what they are promising and advocating for… are these your values? If not, you better get out there and vote… and bring a friend!
Putin/Russia Confusion:
Putin/Russia attacked Ukraine.
Putin/Russia has kidnapped Ukrainian children.
Putin/Russia has raped women in occupied Ukraine.
Putin/Russia bombs civilian targets to terrorize the general public.
Putin/Russia are war criminals.
Putin and his Russia are the aggressors, they are the murderers and war criminals that need to be defeated and forced to respect their sovereign neighbors.
Buying Russian oil helps fund Putin’s terror campaign on Ukraine and puts money into the hands of his proxies in Iran and elsewhere.
Not to mention, in a letter to the President, Senators reminded the President that “Congress explicitly banned Russian energy imports in 2022 to prevent American dollars from financing Putin’s brutal war against Ukraine. Congress was clear: the U.S. should not import oil from Russia until it ends its aggression against Ukraine and ceases threats against our NATO Allies.’”
Ukraine deserves the right to defend itself and its people. We should help them where we can.
Jack Smith Weaponized Our Government: Jack Smith recently said that his investigation wasn’t motivated by partisan politics. Now we’ve learned the Biden DOJ collected the names, birthdays, home addresses, emails, and voter registrations of at least 639,000 everyday Republicans, including those who purchased MAGA hats. That’s the very definition of Biden’s DOJ targeting political opponents, and it’s a staggering violation of Americans’ privacy.
Who now has this list? How will this list be used? Why is weaponizing ANY agency of our government OK?
This is a blatant abuse of power, and exactly what our Founders warned about. This is an outrage, and Jack Smith violated every norm… justice is/was far from blind.

The stealth candidacy of Abdul El-Sayed
This race is bigger than Michigan.
Abdul El-Sayed is not who he says he is. The U.S. Senate candidate wants Michigan voters to believe that he is a conventional progressive Democrat with no ties to or sympathies for Islamic radicalism. The opposite is true. El-Sayed is a radical leftist whose campaign serves as a Trojan horse for a “red-green alliance” of Marxists and Islamists seeking power in Washington.
When an Islamist terrorist attacked Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan, in what the FBI called “a Hezbollah-inspired act of terrorism purposely targeting the Jewish community and the largest Jewish temple in Michigan,” El-Sayed rationalized the attack, pointing out that the perpetrator had lost family in an Israeli strike in Lebanon and that “hurt people hurt people.” He later said, “To anyone who feels like my comments might have been hurtful, I’m really sorry,” adding that it “wasn’t the time for context” — as if a terrorist attack on a synagogue could be justified by any context, much less one targeting American Jews in retaliation for Israeli actions.
When Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, a man with the blood of thousands of Americans on his hands, was killed, El-Sayed advised campaign staff that “there are a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad today” (a comment for which he has not apologized). When asked in a debate if Israel or Iran posed a bigger threat to America, he said both had “proven dangerous in their own way” — drawing moral equivalence between the world’s worst state sponsor of terror and the Middle East’s lone democracy. He does not support Israel’s right to exist and has called it “bloodthirsty” and an “apartheid regime.” Before his primary victory, he appeared at campus rallies with Hasan Piker, a radical streamer who once said “America deserved 9/11” (Piker later apologized) and who has expressed support for Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis. He has since sought to distance himself from Piker, but has not definitively repudiated him.
El-Sayed also has not condemned the Muslim Brotherhood, branches of which have been designated terror organizations by the United States. In 2011, he wrote an op-ed in the Huffington Post dismissing fears that a Muslim Brotherhood takeover in Egypt would usher in a Hamas-style Islamist dictatorship as “foolish.” When Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt leader Mohamed Morsi became president, he sidelined the judiciary, amassed authoritarian powers, cracked down on the press and sidled up to Iran and Hamas, prompting a popular uprising against the regime.
NYT Op-Ed Shows Why Voters Worried About Affordability Should Be Wary Of Democrats
The affordability shtick is nothing more than a campaign myth.
For Americans considering voting Democrat because they want cheaper groceries and lower gas prices, a New York Times op-ed offers a warning about what a Democrat victory would actually deliver: another round of get-conservatives lawfare, resource-squandering impeachment witch hunts, and performative stonewalling of Trump’s judicial nominees.
Democrats have spent months positioning themselves as the answer to Americans’ affordability concerns. But voters — particularly independents, moderates, and frustrated Republicans — should pay attention to what Democrats say they would actually do with control of Congress.
Writing for the Times, Jamelle Bouie says if Democrats win back the House and Senate, they “would have an opportunity not just to check the Trump administration but to neuter it: to halt the confirmation of new judges, to block the president’s attempts to appoint more unqualified toadies to key offices and to focus the investigative fire of both chambers on every aspect of this White House.”
Bouie all but salivates at the prospect of lawfare, writing, “Should Democrats find the will to do so, they could launch the kind of full-court press that no president has faced from the opposition since Barack Obama had to contend with a Republican Congress in the last two years of his administration. The difference is that Democrats will have real corruption and malfeasance to work with.”
Speaker Johnson: ‘I’m Telling You, the Polling Is Wrong’
During Tuesday’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) expressed optimism about Republican candidates in next month’s midterm election, despite polls suggesting strong outcomes for Democrats.
According to the Louisiana Republican, the polls were “wrong.”
“I’m going to give you a shot here to respond to some political analysts who say the House is gone, that the Dems are definitely going to be in the majority,” host Dana Perino said. “You disagree. You say that you can defy those odds. Here’s — you have the floor. How so?”
Johnson replied, “Yes, thank you, Dana. Good to be with you. We’re excited. I’m in Texas today. We will do three events here, and then I will head — I think I have got eight states this week. I have been doing this for almost two years, and I’m telling you, the polling is wrong. Now, you have a lot of polling organizations right now acknowledging that they’re undersampling Republicans, because Republicans don’t want to respond to polls anymore.”
GOP lawmaker urges Johnson to scrutinize new socialist lawmakers access to intelligence
Rep Malliotakis called on the House speaker to review whether the new members pose a national security threat
New York City’s lone Republican in the House of Representatives is raising alarms about the far-left Democrats poised to serve alongside her on Capitol Hill next year.
“These people are extreme, they’re radical, they are dangerous, and they really have no business being in the United States House of Representatives,” Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., told Fox News Digital. “And it scares me that they’re going to have access to intelligence.”
New York City was one of the largest fronts in the nationwide civil war that’s gripped the Democratic Party this midterm election cycle. It’s where two members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) scored upset primary victories against establishment-backed candidates — in deep-blue seats that mean they are virtually guaranteed to win their general elections in November.

Darializa Avila Chevalier defeated Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chairman Adriano Espaillat, D-N.Y., in his Upper Manhattan and Bronx-area district, while New York State Assemblywoman Claire Valdez won an open race for the Brooklyn- and Queens-area district represented by retiring Rep. Nydia Velazquez, D-N.Y.
Both Chevalier and Valdez have called for abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and have called Israel’s war on Gaza a “genocide.”
Malliotakis said their support of the DSA platform made both “un-American.”
“I think they want to undermine the country. I mean, anybody whose campaign is based on no jails, no cops, no borders, is a real detriment to the country,” she said. “These are the people that are going to have access to intelligence? I think [Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La.] really needs to look at that and see if they’re a national security threat.”
Biden-appointed judge badly misconstrues law
The rules must be applied as written
U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan, a Biden appointee and former principal deputy assistant attorney general in the Justice Department’s Civil Division, recently accused the Trump administration of turning civil rights laws “on their heads.”
Federal efforts to obtain state voter rolls to cross-check names against citizenship databases with the intent of removing registrants who did not belong violated civil rights laws, which exist to get more people to vote, Judge Sooknanan said.
That framing misstates both history and principle. Civil rights law, as it pertains to voting, is supposed to protect the integrity of elections and the legitimate franchise.
Eligible citizens have an absolute right to cast a vote and have it counted equally with others. The purpose of the law is not to maximize the raw number of ballots cast regardless of eligibility or accuracy, despite Judge Sooknanan’s interpretation.
Preventing ineligible people from voting, stopping people from voting more than once and blocking ballots cast in another person’s name are not attacks on the franchise. They are essential to preserving it.
Don’t let foreign-backed, far-left groups destroy America from within
It’s no secret that far-left domestic groups linked to foreigners are sowing chaos and hate on American streets and meddling in US elections.
But these outfits have managed to keep their funding details hidden, even as they enjoy tax breaks.
Good for House Republicans for fighting to expose them, end the outrageous breaks and uncover any unlawful activity here.
Chaos in the US likely funded by Singham is:
This week, the House Ways and Means Committee set a hard Oct. 20 deadline for three groups in particular — The People’s Forum, BreakThrough News and Tricontinental — to comply with congressional subpoenas for info on their “fiscal sponsorships involving foreign nationals or foreign entities.”
All three are tied to Neville Roy Singham, the Shanghai-based millionaire loyal to the Chinese Communist Party, and his vast network of funds and shell companies — which he uses to enflame antisemitism and other divisions and meddle in US politics.
“Shanghai Singham has poured millions of dollars into these groups to . . . That much is public,” conceded committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-Mo.). But “what these groups are fighting to keep hidden is even more concerning.”
The People’s Forum has reportedly raked in $22.4 million from the Singham network, Tricontinentental got $16.8 million more and $1 million went to Breakthrough BT Media Inc.
One major problem: A monster-sized loophole lets foreign nationals skirt laws banning their political donations by funding middlemen — i.e., nonprofits that in turn contribute to Super PACs but aren’t required to disclose it.
Democratic governors should stop blocking education help
Late Friday afternoon, Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) opted into a federal tax credit scholarship program that could help families pay for tutoring, specialized services, reliable after-school care, technology, transportation, school supplies, or tuition. This showed political courage. The program is opposed by teachers unions. Hochul did the right thing anyway. Other Democratic governors should follow her lead.
Starting in 2027, under the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit, individuals can claim a federal tax credit of up to $1,700, and couples up to $3,400, for contributions to Scholarship Granting Organizations. Those organizations fund scholarships for eligible K-12 students in all schools to cover approved expenses.
The program comes with one catch. A governor has to opt in. Including Hochul, over 30 already have. Families in the other states are still waiting to learn whether their leaders will let them in.
It has become a partisan issue, with many Democratic governors holding back, waiting to see who among their blue state colleagues would make the first move. Hochul broke that stalemate.
The stakes are high. The IRS estimates that by 2030, scholarship-granting organizations could receive $26 billion a year nationally. Education Reform Now projects the program could mean $3.1 billion for California, $1.5 billion for New York, $960 million for Pennsylvania, $840 million for New Jersey, and $550 million for Maryland. That is real money for tutoring centers, therapists, and after-school programs, and it comes from private donations rather than state budgets.
These projections were based on a maximum $1,700 donation. The recently announced regulations allow up to $3,400 for joint filings, so states could see available scholarship funding that is even higher.
DOGE Achieved More than You Think
The effort’s biggest cuts were to the civil service—and they worked.
Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) went from an inside joke about a Musk-favored cryptocurrency, Dogecoin, to the biggest story in Washington to a near-nonentity—all in under a year. During DOGE’s whirlwind tour in power, the press highlighted its improbable promises of trillions of dollars in savings, its exaggerations of the savings it did achieve, and its occasional naivete about the politics and policy of Washington.
Yet the media spent so much time disputing DOGE’s claims that they largely ignored how it did change spending. In the end, while DOGE made only modest reductions in government contracting and a handful of cuts to government grants, it had a massive impact on the federal civil service. Before Trump took office, the civil service hit a modern peak of more than 2.3 million employees. Since then, it has shrunk by more than 270,000 people, a 12 percent drop—the fastest decline in federal employment since the end of World War II.

DOGE foes succumbed to their own hyperbole about the workforce downsizing, with many predicting a collapse of basic government functions. “How many people can the federal government lose before it crashes?” the Brookings Institution fretted late last year. Such dire predictions have since gone conspicuously quiet. By most indications, the federal government is running much as it did before. Some critics may have to admit: the DOGE workforce cuts worked.
Jack Smith’s FBI Probe Obtained Personal Data Of 640,000 Everyday Republicans, MAGA Hat Buyers
A new memo sheds light on the extraordinarily long arm of the FBI as it investigated President Donald Trump — showing that the bureau gobbled up the personal data of at least 639,000 Republican donors, voters and supporters.
Former Special Counsel Jack Smith and the Biden Justice Department obtained data including the names, dates of birth, physical addresses, email addresses, and voter registrations of thousands of everyday Americans, according to the memo released Wednesday by Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley.
Smith wielded the country’s most powerful law enforcement tools to nab data on Trump supporters who purchased MAGA hats, including their shipping addresses.
Smith’s sweep — though ostensibly focused on the events of January 6, 2020 — captured data back to 2005.
The documents suggest that Smith sought to ensnare the information of thousands of everyday Republicans, effectively treating them like parties to a criminal conspiracy due to their party affiliation.
Grassley, an Iowa Republican, said he had obtained the information in the memo from whistleblower disclosures.
Big Banks Cut Off Conservatives and Christian Groups, OCC Investigation Finds
Many of America’s biggest banks waged a cancel culture war against conservatives and Christian groups over their politics and religious beliefs, a federal investigation revealed this week.
Major U.S. banks denied financial services to conservative businesses, Trump merchandise sellers and Christian organizations, with employees citing customers’ political views, religious beliefs and conflicts with the banks’ own values, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency said in a report released Wednesday.
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency’s report documents account closures, rejected financing and internal screening for terms including “MAGA” and “America First.” It also shows bank employees weighing potential pressure from the Biden administration when deciding whether to serve lawful businesses.
The agency is considering additional rules, bringing debanking records into merger and community-lending reviews, and opening a path for customers to obtain confidential supervisory information in private litigation.
All nine national banks that the OCC reviewed maintained policies restricting services or requiring heightened scrutiny based on reputation risk or industry. The specific findings varied: JPMorgan Chase, PNC, Wells Fargo, and Capital One were cited in completed denials or closures involving political or religious views. The report’s examples involving Citibank and Bank of America concerned industry restrictions and other so-called “reputation-risk” decisions, rather than denials based on customers’ religious beliefs or political affiliations.
Industry restrictions covered Arctic oil and gas exploration and development, coal mining and coal-fired power plants, firearms and ammunition, private prisons and detention facilities, tobacco and e-cigarettes, and digital assets.
