Election Investigative Journalists Arrested After Refusing to Reveal Confidential Informant

Why weren’t Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein jailed? Or Daniel Ellsberg for his Pentagon Papers?

Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips should be given the same protections as the sleazeball media (i.e. NYT, WaPo etc.)

Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips are national heroes. They should be given the Presidential Medal of Freedom but in a country hijacked by the party of treason, they are prosecuted.

BREAKING: True the Vote leaders arrested after refusing to reveal confidential informant

By: Hannah Nightingale, The Post Millenial, Oct 31, 2022:

Hoyt ordered that Engelbrcht and Phillips be held in custody for at least a day, until they divulge that information.

On Monday, US Marshalls took into custody Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips of True the Vote, for refusing to identify a confidential informant.

Federal Judge Kenneth Hoyt delivered the order, holding the two in contempt of court for refusing to identify the informant, according to independent journalist Ivory Hecker.

Hoyt ordered that Engelbrcht and Phillips be held in custody for at least a day, until they divulge that information.

“Judge says he never got a straight answer on who was in the Dallas hotel room January, 2021, and he doesn’t know how many people were there. Judge says the way Phillips and Engelbrecht talked suggests True the Vote did have access to the hacked computer data, though they deny it,” Hecker wrote on Twitter.

According to the Houston Chronicle, Engelbrecht and Phillips testified that identifying the confidential informant would put his life at risk.

“Every name I give you gets doxxed and harassed,” Engelbrecht said.

The arrest of the pair is the latest in a civil suit filed in September by Konnech, a Michigan-based company that provides software to elections offices regarding poll worker management, according to Votebeat Texas.

Kenneth alleged that True the Vote made “baseless and racist” accusations against CEO Eugene Yu, which forced him and his family to flee their home.

Yu was arrested and charged by the Los Angeles district attorney for allegedly storing government data in China, which is in breach of the company’s contract. LA officials reportedly received their initial tip regarding Yu from Phillips.

At the center of the issue was the name and contact information of individuals that the pair have stated were present in a Dallas hotel meeting in January 2021. Hoyt had ordered that Phillips and Engelbrecht turn over this information weeks ago.

During this meeting, True the Vote was allegedly given proof that Konnech had been storing the personal data of “millions” of poll workers in a China-based server.

According to Votebeat, “True the Vote then used that information to fuel months of vaguely defined accusations about the company and Yu in podcasts and appearances.”

Phillips and Engelbrecht had claimed that Yu was an agent of the Chinese Communist Party, and that the country had been using poll worker data to influence the 2020 election.

“On behalf of my clients we don’t want to release the name of this individual,” True the Vote attorney Brock Akers told Judge Hoyt in an Oct. 6 hearing.

True the Vote’s legal team released a name in a hearing earlier this month, Mike Hasson, stating that the analyst is in “danger from forces of the Chinese Communist party.”

FBI Arrests Disabled Marine, VA Cancels His Benefits For Peaceful Protest

The Jan 6th political persecutions are nothing than a Kafkaesque kangaroo court designed to criminalize opposition to the totalitarian Democrat regime. It’s all a massive theatrical production with real life repercussions carefully calculated to cover the Democrats insurrectionist election theft and treasonous “Russia hoax” crimes designed to oust a sitting president.

The unconstitutional prosecution of this disabled Marine is egregious and unconscionable. If America continues to allow this, no one is safe.

Judicial Watch reporting:

Patriot Zach Rehl received an honorable discharge from the United States Marine Corps…and received a 100% disability rating from the Department of Veterans Affairs.

But the FBI raided his home on March 17th, 2021, arrested him, and threw him in jail for peacefully protesting the stolen 2020 Presidential election at the Capitol on January 6th, 2021.

Zach didn’t attack the U.S. Capitol Police. (His own father and grandfather were Philadelphia cops, like my brother, for Pete’s sake.)

Zach didn’t break anything, or even hurt anyone’s feelings with harsh words.

He simply exercised his right to free speech as an American citizen.

Zach has been held without bail this entire time.

What’s more, he hasn’t had the chance to hold his baby girl even once.

And to add insult to injury, the VA notified his wife, Amanda, that they were cutting off Zach’s disability payments because he’d been charged with seditious conspiracy. Just charged – not convicted!

As you can imagine, all of this has been brutally hard on Zach, his wife, and two daughters. No freedom…no rights…no due process…IN AMERICA!

If the Biden Justice Department and its FBI can push around and seek to destroy a peaceful, disabled Marine veteran for exercising his right to free speech, they can push you and me, our families, friends, and fellow Americans around, too.

You and I, and the people we love in are in grave danger.

Zach warns about that in a letter to his wife:

“They are jailing innocent people on bogus and trumped-up charges because those people simply supported the sitting president Donald Trump at the time; which is absolutely insane. If you think it can’t happen to you, look at me, because if it can happen to me, trust me, it can happen to you.”

Who is David DePape & What Really Happened in Paul Pelosi’s House?

UPDATE: Did It Only Take Carlson 47 Seconds to Destroy the Paul Pelosi Narrative?: ‘Who Exactly Is David DePape?’


The legacy media and Biden are all in trying to pin the attack on Paul Pelosi by David DePape on Trump supporters. Biden compared the attack on Paul Pelosi to the J6 Save America Rally in Washington, D.C.

Now that’s the kind of propaganda being pushed far and wide by Democrats and their legacy media outlets.

QUESTION: Does this narrative make any sense at all?

It is early in this case but there are some things that we do know from the San Francisco Police Department.

Let’s look at the facts and some other theories on what happened on Friday night at 2:30 a.m. PST in the Pelosi house.

Who is David Depape

While doing research on David DePape we came across this comment on a forum,

Makes hemp jewelry, lives in Berkeley, nude protestor….yea that every right wing extremist megamagarepublican hobbies

The details of this attack are unusual. According to MSNBC’s Andrew Blankstein, Tom Winter, Antonio Planas and Tim Stelloh,

Police Chief William Scott said during a Friday news conference that officers arrived at the Pelosi home for a well-being check shortly before 2:30 a.m. PT. Police then witnessed an attack on Paul Pelosi.

What is a well-being check?

According to San Francisco’s ABC7 News,

One of the highest number of calls San Francisco police officers respond to are “well-being checks,” according to the city’s data close to 18,000 calls in 2019.

MSNBC’s Blankstein, Winter, Planas and Stelloh then reported,

Both DePape and Paul Pelosi held a hammer moments before a violent confrontation, Scott said.

“The suspect pulled the hammer away from Mr. Pelosi and violently assaulted him with it,” he said. “Our officers immediately tackled the suspect, disarmed him, took him into custody, requested emergency backup and rendered medical aid.”

So, Paul Pelosi had the hammer first and then David DePape took the hammer from Pelosi and began beating him with it.

QUESTION: Why?

Here’s one theory as to the why,

While we cannot confirm that Paul and David were doing the nasty, what we can say is that there was a confrontation and both men had during the confrontation held the hammer that inflicted physical damage to Pelosi, according to the San Francisco Police Chief and eyewitness report of the officers who were called to the Pelosi house for a well-being check.

There are more questions to ask given Paul Pelosi’s recent run in with the California Highway Patrol (CHP) on a Napa roadway for driving while intoxicated. Watch this CBS Sacrament video report with CHP dash camera of Paul Pelosi.

According to the New York Post’s ,

The man accused of attacking Paul Pelosi with a hammer had been living in a school bus weeks before the attack, neighbors said.

Those who know David DePape, 42, told The Post they’ve seen him living in a yellow school bus parked in front of the Berkeley home of his ex, San Francisco pro-nudist activist Gypsy Taub, with whom he shares three children.

“He usually kept to himself,” neighbor Ryan La Coste told The Post. “He would just give us a blank stare when we would walk by. We tried to stay clear of him. … No one knew he was here because he would be on the bus or he just didn’t communicate.”

[ … ]

DePape’s neighbors, Margarita and Julio Gonzalez, said he used to live in the Victorian home with Taub and the children but at some point, began staying off-and-on in the two dilapidated school buses on the property.

“He is homeless … but I never seen him being violent,” Margarita Gonzalez told The Post. “He never had work. In the beginning when he lived with (Taub), he just stayed inside the home and she was the one who did the shopping and everything.”

When she heard about Pelosi’s attack, Margarita said she also was shocked her neighbor had been accused.

“I was surprised because I never saw him aggressive,” Margarita Gonzalez said. “I don’t think [the attack on Pelosi] was something personal. … Maybe there’s a mental problem with him.”

Reporter Michael Shellenberger wrote on his website,

But DePape’s politics have little rhyme or reason. In past years DePape shared a post about Stephen Colbert’s 2006 roast of President George W. Bush at the White House Correspondents dinner; linked to videos of Disney films altered to make it look like the characters were swearing; and claimed, “Jesus is the anti-Christ” — not exactly a litany of right-wing tropes.

And, as I discovered yesterday, DePape lived with a notorious local nudist in a Berkeley home, complete with a Black Lives Matter sign in the window and an LGBT rainbow flag, emblazoned with a marijuana symbol, hanging from a tree. A closer look reveals the characteristics of a homeless encampment, or what Europeans call “an open drug scene.” In the driveway, there is a broken-down camper van. On the street is a yellow school bus, which neighbors said DePape occasionally stayed in. Both are filled with garbage typical of such structures in homeless encampments. People come and go from the house and the vehicles, neighbors say, in part to partake in the use of a potent psychedelic drug, ibogaine. [Emphasis added]

What is known to date:

  1. Paul Pelosi drinks to excess and was recently arrested by the California Highway Patrol when his car ran off the road. See video above.
  2. The San Francisco Chronicle identified DePape frolicking nude outside city hall with dozens of others at the 2013 wedding of pro-nudity activist Gypsy Taub, who was marrying another man.
  3. A 2013 article in The Chronicle described David DePape as a “hemp jewelry maker” who lived in a Victorian flat in Berkeley with Taub.
  4. David Depape sells necklaces made of hemp.
  5. David Depape lived in a yellow school bus.
  6. DePape was in the Pelosi home, which is interesting given that she is such a high ranking political figure you would think they had an alarm system.
  7. We don’t have the who, what, where, when and why the DePape/Pelosi confrontation began.
  8. It appears that first Paul Pelosi had hold of the hammer and then DePape took the hammer away from Pelosi and began beating him with it according to the police.
  9. According to the The Western Journal, “When police were sent to the home of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her husband Paul around 2:30 a.m. Friday, they were told there was a man there waiting for Nancy, but he was described on the call as a ‘friend’.”
  10. Finally, the police photo of the alleged break-in via a patio window (click here to the view photo) shows that the broken glass is on the outside and not the inside. This indicates that the window was broken by someone in the house, not someone trying to get into the Pelosi house.
  11. On October 31st, Fox News reported that Paul Pelosi’s attacker was in The U.S. illegally.
  12. And, the U.S. Capitol Police had live video feed at Pelosi home but didn’t notice break-in.

Given the instantaneous response from the media that DePape was a “conspiracy theorist”, posted about QAnon and “racist” remarks and was according to the SF Police “someone with sprawling and contradictory views.”

Clearly it’s to early to tell what really happened on Friday.

David DePape does not fit the profile of a Trump supporter. DePape does fit the profile of a drug user who is down on his luck with a broken relationship who’s living in a broken down yellow bus in San Francisco, California. Beyond that we cannot, for the life of us, understand why DePape was in the Pelosi house other than to “see Nancy.”

As they say time will tell and eventually the truth will reveal itself.

ORLANDO, FL: Democrat Blows The Whistle On Staggering Allegations of Systemic Ballot Harvesting in Black Neighborhoods

Ballot harvesting is the practice in which political operatives collect absentee ballots from voters’ homes and drop them off at a polling place or election office. It may sound pretty innocuous, but this practice can and has been abused across the country. We saw this play out in the 2018 midterm elections in North Carolina’s 9th Congressional District when a political operative abused the process of harvesting ballots, which resulted in the North Carolina State Board of Elections to call for reelection. — Committee on House Administration


The former candidate for Orange County commissioner describes widespread vote trafficking operation in Orlando area, authorities see enough evidence to warrant criminal probe. This is treason. Why hasn’t anyone been arrested?

Just the News is reporting that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ new election crimes unit has recommended state police open a full criminal investigation into a Democrat whistleblower’s detailed complaint of a long-running, widespread ballot harvesting operation in the African-American communities in politically important central Florida.

Background: In late August, former Orange County Commissioner candidate Cynthia Harris filed an affidavit with the Florida Secretary of State’s office alleging that ballot harvesters showed up at her home attempting to collect her ballot when she shut them down. Harris claims they are part of an illegal ballot-harvesting operation that’s been going on for years in the black community in the Orlando area. According to Harris, ballot harvesters are paid $10 for each ballot they collect.

Just the News reports- Harris described an intricate system funded by liberal-leaning organizations that dispatch ballot brokers into black communities to pressure voters to turn over their ballots. The $10 fee per ballot is divvied up among the parties who help complete the harvesting.

Harris explains:

You the candidate, or any political party, can find out when the absentee ballots are mailed and to whom. What happens is these ballot harvesters—they know which batch has gone out— they go to the door, and they ask you for your absentee ballot. Well, in communities that don’t look like me, no one does this, but in our community, it’s kind of like at accepted practices that the man is coming by to pick up my absentee ballot, or the lady is coming to pick up my absentee ballot.

And you know, it’s just utterly ridiculous that people don’t understand that once that ballot leaves your hand and it’s not placed in the mailbox or is not directly given to the supervisor of elections, you don’t know where it goes.  It’s possible that they throw them away—we’ve seen evidence of that. You see them, they steam open the ballots, and then they mis-mark them so that if it’s not for their candidate then that ballot is spoiled, so when people think that the numbers are low, it’s really not low, it’s just that someone has intercepted before it gets to the proper authorities

Cynthia Harris appeared on Just The News with John Soloman, where she explained what happened when the alleged ballot harvesters came to her door in 2017.

In Orlando, Jaw-dropping Allegations of Systemic Ballot Harvesting in Black Neighborhoods

By Athena Thorne, PJM, October 27, 2022:

Florida’s new Office of Election Crimes and Security (OECS) has collected enough evidence of jaw-dropping systemic ballot harvesting in the Orlando area to recommend state law enforcement open a full criminal investigation. Ballot harvesting — the collection and casting of third-party ballots — can lead to fraud and is illegal in Florida.

Investigative news site Just The News obtained a statement from the Florida Department of State, confirming the OECS investigation:

“The Florida Department of State, Office of Election Crimes and Security (OECS) was made aware of this issue around September 1, 2022,” the department said. “After further inquiry, OECS received additional information related to the allegation on October 17, 2022, and performed a preliminary investigation.

“Since OECS is an investigative entity and does not [have] authority to make arrests, the office forwarded the complaint to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement for possible violation of section 104.0616, Florida Statutes,” it added.

Just The News reports that the OECS investigation was launched after Cynthia Harris, a former candidate for Orange County Commissioner, filed a sworn affidavit with the Florida Secretary of State’s office. In her affidavit, Harris described a long-standing, systemic ballot-harvesting operation in the Orlando area’s African-American communities. On Wednesday night, Harris appeared on Just the News, No Noise to discuss the electoral exploitation of black communities that she says has been going on for years.

“So what happens is, in our community, when absentee ballots are mailed, you, the candidate, or any political party can find out when the absentee ballots are mailed and to whom. What happens is these ballot harvesters, they know which batch has gone out, they go to the door and they ask you for your absentee ballot,” said Harris. “Well, in communities that don’t look like me [aka white communities], no one does this,” noted Harris, who is black. “But in our community, it’s kind of like an accepted practice that the man is coming by to pick up my absentee ballot, or the lady is coming to pick up my absentee ballot.”

Just The News reports that Harris “even recorded a ballot broker coming to her home in 2017 to collect her ballot, and obtained the script that harvester was given by her bosses to make the pitch for a voter to turn over their ballot.” Harris, a Democrat, alleges that the entire operation is funded by progressive organizations:

[Harris] filed a sworn affidavit in late August with the Secretary of State’s office alleging that illegal operations to collect third-party ballots have been going on for years in the Orlando area where voting activists are paid $10 for each ballot they collect.

She described an intricate system funded by liberal leaning organizations that dispatch ballot brokers into black communities to pressure voters to turn over their ballots. The $10 fee per ballot is divvied up among the parties who help complete the harvesting.

There is so much more in the report from Just The News that at this point I’m just going to send you there if you want to keep reading. But suffice it to say that, in her affidavit, Harris served up plenty of what sure sounds like actionable information and evidence.

Harris had long been frustrated with the alleged underhanded system in place in her community, but her motivation to finally come forward and swear out an affidavit likely stems from her own experience with wonky ballot counting last summer. Harris ran in the primary for Orange County Commissioner and came in second place on election night, pleased to have made it to the runoff stage. But during a recount, Harris told Just The News, her tally dropped by 14 votes, and she was declared the third-place winner. Her experience parallels what Republicans across the country have been pointing to for years as evidence of the need for greater election integrity.

New Email Reveals Establishment’s Efforts to Oust Trump

A Concerted Campaign to Oust a Sitting President.


This was the real insurrection.

Was the country always this corrupt? And no one has been indicted or convicted. It’s staggering.

New Email Reveals Answer to Establishment’s Efforts to Oust Trump

By: Jeff Carlson and Hans Mahncke, The Epoch Times, October 28, 2022:

An FBI email previously not known to the public has revealed that the bureau planned to make Igor Danchenko—the primary source for British former spy Christopher Steele’s Trump dossier—a confidential human source (CHS) before it had even interviewed him.

The revelation, which was discovered as a result of special counsel John Durham’s case against Danchenko, indicates that the FBI deliberately targeted 2016 presidential candidate and later President Donald Trump with claims it already knew at the time to be false.

The email—of which only the subject line has been made public—was first uncovered by an internet sleuth who goes by the moniker “Walkafyre” and was included in hundreds of unused exhibits from Danchenko’s trial.

The FBI used Danchenko—who was acquitted last week on all charges of lying to the FBI—in its investigation of Trump, despite knowing that Danchenko had helped fabricate the dossier.

With the benefit of this new information, a renewed examination of the timeline between the Nov. 8, 2016, presidential election and the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller on May 17, 2017, reveals that the FBI—with the help of the Obama administration and Washington establishment figures—executed a concerted campaign to oust a sitting president.

Email Reveals FBI’s Plan for Danchenko

The newly discovered email was sent by FBI agent Kevin Helson to unknown recipients on Jan. 12, 2017. The email’s heading reads “Plan to Convert Danchenko into CHS.”

This email is critical for several reasons. It shows that the FBI intended to hide Steele’s main source behind CHS status after they had previously discovered Steele couldn’t back up the claims in his dossier despite their offer of $1 million to him for any corroboration. As a CHS, Danchenko also would be shielded from any external investigations—including those of Congress.

Of equal importance, Helson’s email also proves that the FBI planned to convert Danchenko into a CHS before the FBI had even interviewed Danchenko. Had they thought the dossier was real, there would have been no reason to hide Danchenko. Instead, the FBI would’ve been touting the existence of a crucial source.

The FBI proceeded to make him a CHS despite interviewing him several weeks later, in late January 2017, when Danchenko disavowed the claims in the dossier, saying during his interview that it was based on rumors and bar talk made in jest.

It had previously been assumed that the FBI only decided to make Danchenko a CHS after he had been interviewed.

This move by the FBI also directly coincided with President Barack Obama’s wishes expressed during a Jan. 5 White House intelligence briefing on the dossier that he wanted to withhold information from the incoming Trump administration.

Our Battered Bill of Rights

The French Revolution of 1789 and the Russian Revolution of 1917 aimed to free the masses of oppressive regimes (think Deep State). But the American Revolution of 1776 was very different. Had the Colonists been afforded the same freedoms and fair treatment enjoyed by their English cousins, 1776 might be just another date on the calendar.

The trouble began when King George III and Parliament attempted to balance their budget by taxing the unrepresented Colonists. The Stamp Act taxed every document — public or private — even playing cards and newspapers. American lawyers and newspapers threw such a fit, the Stamp Act lasted only one year. Next, came the Townsend Acts taxing glass, lead, paint, tea, and, once again, paper. Taxing paper got the lawyers and the newspapers literally up in arms. Apparently, about paper, the Brits were slow learners. Tea was another no-no. You know the rest of that story.

Once rid of the Red Coats (until the War of 1812), Americans got serious about being a real nation. By March 9, 1789, the United States was under its new constitution. Still angered by the brutish treatment they suffered under the Red Coats, on December 15, 1791, they tacked on a Bill of Rights: Ten constitutional amendments designed to make sure such outrages would never happen again. Good luck with that.

Let’s look at the Bill of Rights after the eight years of Obama and two years of Biden:

First Amendment: Freedom of speech and religion are on life support. Allied together to protect the Deep State, the MSM and Social Media have run roughshod over freedom of speech and religion, (trying to force Nuns to buy condoms). Censorship of conservative speech and assembly on college campuses is routine. Selected individuals are banned from Social Media.

Second Amendment: Every act of gun violence is met with attempts to take guns away from the people who don’t shoot other people.

Third Amendment: While we aren’t forced to quarter soldiers in our homes, open borders means our nation is being forced to quarter illegal aliens in enclaves selected to alter the outcome of future elections.

Fourth Amendment: Searches and seizures, often unreasonable, are an FBI specialty. Even the home of a former U.S. President was ransacked. Personal items were taken.
Combining Amendments 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9: Many January 6th detainees were denied the process of law, held incommunicado, denied the rights of accused persons, denied the right to a speedy public trial, denied bail outright or even reasonable bail, and imprisoned under cruel and inhuman conditions.

Tenth Amendment: The rights reserved to the States are often ignored, sometimes by the U.S. Supreme Court.

The U.S. Constitution decrees the conduct of elections to be the province of the States. Some States do it fair and square. Other States allow political partisans to stuff ballot boxes, and shower residents, legal and illegal, with ballots to harvest and cast. Still, by and large, our elections have a way of shaping up and restoring our representative republic to be the envy of the world. Very soon, that assertion will be put to the test.

Democrats: The Only Way To Save Democracy Is One-Party Rule

“Remember Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes exhausts and murders itself. There never was a Democracy Yet, that did not commit suicide. It is in vain to Say that Democracy is less vain, less proud, less selfish, less ambitious or less avaricious than Aristocracy or Monarchy.” — John Adams to John Taylor in a letter dated 17 December 1814.


Spoken like every evil regime ever.

‘Save Our Democracy’ is the new ‘arbeit macht frei.’

Democrats: The Only Way To Save Democracy Is One-Party Rule

‘Save Our Democracy’ is the new ‘Russia Collusion.’

By: David Harsanyi, The Federalist, October 25, 2022:

t this point, it would save everyone time if Democrats could simply point to a policy agenda item that isn’t going to save democracy — if such a thing exists.

If Republicans vote, they are killing democracy. If they don’t vote, they are killing democracy. The only way to “save democracy,” writes The Washington Post’s Max Boot, is to empower one-party rule — a position that probably sounds counterintuitive to anyone with a middle-school education. “Now you need to vote to literally save democracy again,” contends President Joe Biden, or we will lose our “fundamental rights and freedoms like the right to choose, the right to privacy, the right to vote — our very democracy.”

Chilling stuff. But it doesn’t end there. You will remember that by failing to “reform” the filibuster, which would entail authorizing the thinnest of fleeting majorities to shove through massive generational “reforms” without any national consensus or debate, we are also killing democracy. This has been the position not only of left-wing pundits and the New York Times editorial board, but also senators tasked with defending their institution. I wonder if they will support this democracy-saving fix next session, as well?

Then again, if we don’t nationalize the economy to avert a climate crisis, we are also killing democracy. “We’ve got to save democracy in order to save our species,” Jamie Raskin explains. And if we don’t empty the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to temporarily keep gas prices low to help Democrats win in 2022, we are killing democracy. “We find ourselves in a situation, where keeping gas prices low is key to preserving and strengthening the future of our democracy,” MSNBC’s Chris Hayes says.

We must allow the president to unilaterally create trillion-dollar spending bills and break existing private sector contracts by fiat. For democracy. We must pack the court to “save democracy.” We must create a Ministry of Truth to help with “strengthening democratic institutions.” We must vote for a Pennsylvania candidate who can’t cobble two consecutive coherent sentences together because the “fate of our democracy” is at stake, says our former president.

If you don’t support a partisan congressional investigation that’s circumvented basic due process norms, you probably hate democracy. If you aren’t self-flagellating and holding yourself accountable for the actions of Jan. 6 rioters, you are also bolstering the coming autocracy.

If the Supreme Court empowers the public to vote on an issue like abortion, unmentioned anywhere in the Constitution, it is “degrading” our “democracy.” If the court protects rights that are explicitly mentioned in the Constitution from the vagaries of the political process, it is also undermining democracy. Which is convenient.

The only way to save democracy is to allow one party (guess which one?) to federalize elections, so they can compel states to count mail-in votes that arrive 10 days late, legalize ballot harvesting, force the overturning of dozens of existing voter ID laws, allow felons to vote, create onerous burdens to chill speech, and empower bureaucrats to redraw congressional districts. Otherwise … well, you know.

You’ll remember last year, when left-wingers were arguing that Mike Pence’s support for basic voting ID — backed by around 80 percent of the American public and implemented in virtually every free nation — heralded a “Permanent Authoritarian Rule.” The president called Georgia’s moderate voter law, “odious,” “pernicious,” “vicious,” “unconscionable,” a “subversion” and “suppression,” the “21st-century Jim Crow” and the sure sign of an emerging “autocracy.” In 2022 early voting in Georgia is “shattering records.”

Then, of course, there are the nefarious “election deniers.” You know, “The Big Lie?” If Democrats believed “election denial” was an existential threat to American “democracy,” they probably wouldn’t be perennially engaging in it. The American left hasn’t accepted the legitimacy of a Republican presidential election win since 1988. Democrats “save democracy” by pumping millions into the primary campaigns of “election-denying” Republicans to try and set up a more favorable general election.

Keep reading.

I’m leaving PayPal now, and you should, too

There has been a bit of confusion surrounding just how woke and fascist PayPal has become. They banned us back in 2018 for wrongthink, but backed down after a popular outcry and reinstated us. Recently, however, it came to light that they planned to charge users $2,500 per infraction for “the promotion of hate, violence, racial or other forms of intolerance,” and since the Left routinely smears opposition to jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women as “hate” and “racism,” it’s easy to see what’s coming.

After that policy came to light, PayPal announced that it was all a mistake, but this is still in their User Agreement as of this writing, Thursday, October 27, noon Pacific time:

If you are a seller and receive funds for transactions that violate the Acceptable Use Policy, then in addition to being subject to the above actions you will be liable to PayPal for the amount of PayPal’s damages caused by your violation of the Acceptable Use Policy. You acknowledge and agree that $2,500.00 U.S. dollars per violation of the Acceptable Use Policy is presently a reasonable minimum estimate of PayPal’s actual damages – including, but not limited to, internal administrative costs incurred by PayPal to monitor and track violations, damage to PayPal’s brand and reputation, and penalties imposed upon PayPal by its business partners resulting from a user’s violation – considering all currently existing circumstances, including the relationship of the sum to the range of harm to PayPal that reasonably could be anticipated because, due to the nature of the violations of the Acceptable Use Policy, actual damages would be impractical or extremely difficult to calculate. PayPal may deduct such damages directly from any existing balance in any PayPal account you control.

And the Acceptable Use Policy still says you cannot use PayPal for “the promotion of hate, violence, racial or other forms of intolerance,” which is, once again, Leftist code for “speech that contradicts our agenda and our fantasies about how the world works.”

So it’s time to go. If you have supported us through PayPal and still do so, we’re immensely grateful for your help in keeping us going, and if you have a regular monthly donation set up, we hope you will transfer it to Anedot here (click the “Monthly” option). That’s a tax-deductible donation. Please also consider supporting my Patreon page here; we want to keep going as long as possible, and every day the fascist Left finds more obstacles to throw at us to prevent people from seeing the truths we present. Once again, I’m immensely grateful for your help.

The fascists have us in a tough spot. They have worked hard to make their services indispensable, and are now increasingly moving toward making access to them based on political and social conformity. If they succeed, they will of course destroy America as a free society; that’s what they want to do. So we have to fight back in every way we can, and be willing to accept inconvenience in doing so. If PayPal is threatening to fine users who don’t conform politically, we must leave PayPal. I’m going to do so now. I hope you will do so as well.

Elon Musk Finally Takes Over Twitter, Fires Top Executives

After a months long legal battle, SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk officially reached a deal with Twitter on Thursday to become the sole owner of the social media giant in a historic shakeup of the tech industry, according to multiple sources.

The deal, initially agreed upon in April, takes Twitter private at $54.20 per share, a roughly $44 billion transaction that the tech mogul has previously attempted to escape over claims that he was misled about the number of spam or “bot” accounts on the platform. As one of his first moves, Musk reportedly fired several top executives, including CEO Parag Agrawal, chief financial officer Ned Segal, and Vijaya Gadde, head of legal policy, trust, and safety, The Washington Post reported.

Gadde oversaw many content moderation decisions, drawing criticism from conservatives and Republicans for a censorship-heavy approach, and was heavily involved in the decision to kick off former President Donald Trump following the Jan. 6 Capitol riots.

While Musk’s exact plans for the platform are not yet known at time of writing, he has made several public comments, primarily on Twitter itself, stressing the importance of the medium as a forum that protects “free speech,” according to The Washington Post. However, Musk has clearly stated that he intends to reverse the ban on former President Donald Trump’s Twitter account, a decision he characterized as “flat out stupid,” at an event hosted by the Financial Times.

“For Twitter to deserve public trust, it must be politically neutral,” Musk tweeted on April 27, weeks after the initial deal was made. “which effectively means upsetting the far right and the far left equally.”

Musk has also reportedly told investors supporting his bid to purchase the company that he intends to lay off roughly 75% of the tech giant’s staff, cutting the company to just 2,000 workers, The Washington Post reported. Musk has publicly commented that he believes the company is overstaffed, but former Twitter employees and tech analysts have criticized the move as being too drastic, potentially exposing the company to security and moderation issues.

Musk has been vocal about his intention to use Twitter as a stepping stone to create an app known as X, which he describes as “the everything app.” When a Twitter user claimed that it would have been less difficult to simply build X from scratch, Musk countered that the purchase would shave 3 to 5 years of development time, although he hedged the claim by admitting “I could be wrong.”

Critics have argued that a Musk takeover will cause the platform to be more prone to spreading misinformation and incentivize or encourage dangerous practices that will harm women and people of color on the platform, The Hill reported. Angelo Carusone, president of left-wing media watchdog Media Matters, compared Musk’s attempted acquisition to the formation of Fox News, an organization he characterized as having a “distorting effect” on U.S. media, in an interview with The Hill.

“Elon Musk is about to rip open Pandora’s box and flood the internet once again with hate, misogyny, racism and conspiracy theories,” said Bridget Todd, communications director of feminist advocacy organization UltraViolet in an Oct. 4 statement. “We should all be terrified.”

NEW YORK: High School Teacher Accused Of Possessing Thousands Of Images, Videos Of Child Pornography

The Department Of Justice (DOJ) arrested and charged a New York high school teacher with possession of child pornography on Thursday.

Louis Carusone, a teacher at Brighton High School in Rochester, New York, has been accused of obtaining and distributing thousands of pictures and videos of child pornography, according to a DOJ press release. The investigation into Carusone began after an undercover officer allegedly found Carusone distributing child pornography through a peer-to-peer online sharing network.

“Law enforcement officials informed us last Friday night that they had just completed a search of Mr. Carusone’s home,” Brighton Central Schools Superintendent Kevin McGowan wrote in a statement. “We were told that devices belonging to Mr. Carusone had been seized and what the nature of their investigation was. We immediately placed Mr. Carusone on leave, froze his access to all electronic resources, and directed him to not be anywhere near BCSD property or to have contact with anyone at BCSD other than those who he would need to discuss his employment status with.”

Law enforcement found Carusone in possession of 2,030 pictures and 21 videos of child pornography after a search of his house, the DOJ reported. Carusone allegedly took photos and videos of his female students and also allegedly recorded children and adults in bathing suits at a waterpark.

Carusone will not be returning to work in the school district, the school’s statement said. The district is working to have Carusone’s teaching license revoked. (

Students will be able to meet with counseling staff from a local children’s advocacy center and the school will meet with all students in Carusone’s classes to address their questions and concerns, according to the school’s statement.

“We often talk about the trust placed in us and the need to care for and support each child as if they were our own children,” McGowan wrote. “This ethic of care can be seen throughout each day. However, the behavior and betrayal of one person in this incident was a failure in our obligation in every way. Our response now and in the coming days will be the first steps in reinforcing the great good that is done by so many in this organization and our commitment to a trusting relationship with all of you.”

The DOJ and Brighton High School did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

Here’s Our Top 11 Examples of the Democrat Party’s Double Standards

Double Standard: a rule or principle which is unfairly applied in different ways to different people or groups.


We have decided that the “D” in Democrat stands for double standard.  They consistently apply different principles to different groups.

We decided to list 11 examples of Democrats using double standards this year. If you our readers have any that you want to add just put them in the comments section below.

Here’s our short list of Dem Double Standards:

  1. Stolen Elections: Democrats blame Republicans for stealing elections but when President Donald J. Trump and True the Vote, in it’s film 2000 Mules, proved that the 2020 election was in fact stolen in five states which would have overturned the election, the Democrats cried foul. The 2000 Mules video was banned on YouTube, social media, not carried on any streaming service and was only available on DVD. Recently, Hillary Clinton in a political ad, as she did in 2016, claims Republicans are going to steal the 2022 midterm elections. Remember that before the 2020 election Biden stated, “I believe we have put together the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.”
  2. Equal Justice Under the Law: The Democrat Party and the Biden administration have weaponized our FBI and DOJ to apply the laws unequally. They use the law to accuse their political opponents of what they are doing. Examples abound and include: ignoring violent attacks on pro-life clinics while arresting pro-life advocates, the FBI for the first time in American history sent armed agents to Mar-a-Lago the home of a former President of the United States and took documents that were personal and covered by client attorney privileges, the Biden administration sent armed secret service agents to force an Amish organic famer to use GMOs on his livestock and crops, when he refused to do so they shut down is business which served healthy food to his 4,000 customers.
  3. Kill, imprison and torture innocent peaceful protestors who attended the Save America Rally in Washington, D.C. because the Democrat Leadership failed to protect the U.S. Capitol: The J6 Select Committee has held numerous closed door meetings concerning the Save America Rally held on January 6th, 2021 to trying prove that those who attended the rally were insurrectionists. What the J6 Committee ignores is the fact that President Trump requested that the National Guard be called out to protect the capitol building but his request was denied by Speaker Nancy Pelosi who has the responsibility to provide security of the U.S. capitol. New video released indicated that Speaker Pelosi had a video crew that taped her during the J6 rally in order to make a documentary. Read more here, here, here and here. President Donald J. Trump’s ‘Our nation is SUFFERING‘ letter to the J6 Committee here.
  4. Accuse others of insurrection while ignoring violence by domestic terrorist organizations Jane’s Revenge, Antifa and BLM: Jane’s Revenge has been linked to multiple insurrectionist acts including the fire bombing of  pregnancy clinics here, here and here. Antifa is a revolutionary Marxist/anarchist militia movement that seeks to bring down the United States by means of violence and intimidation. As a September 2017 report in The Atlantic notes, Antifa is responsible for “a level of sustained political street warfare not seen in the U.S. since the 1960s.” BLM is Founded by Marxist revolutionaries in 2013, Black Lives Matter (BLM) is a movement that depicts the United States as a nation awash in racism, sexism, and homophobia. Demonstrators at BLM events have been known to: smear white police as trigger-happy bigots who are intent upon killing innocent, unarmed black males; taunt, and direct obscenities at, uniformed police officers who are on duty; throw rocks at police and threaten to kill them; and celebrate in the streets when a police officer is killed. Click here for information on BLM’s close ties to the Democratic Party.
  5. Support Defunding the Police while Democrats hire armed guards to protect themselves: Defund the Police was created by BLM. The Defund the Police website states, “Our intention is for this site and defundpolice.org, which provides organizing tools to defund the police in the United States, to be read together as a shared tapestry of resistance.” This movement has lead to increased crime in those cities, like New York, Chicago and Detroit, which have in fact defunded the police. See #4 above.
  6. Democrats demand that American to “go green” while they live in mansions, drive in bullet proof limousines and use private jets that scream pollution: Congressional testimony shows that the Green New Deal = Redistribution of Wealth. The Green New Deal mirrors Mao’s Great Leap Forward. Here are 44 things Americans should know about the Green New Deal. Finally because of Biden’s war against fossil fuels U.S. has ONLY 25 DAYS OF DIESEL SUPPLY LEFT. Finally Biden and the Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg have called for the elimination of all internal combustion engine vehicles and replacing them with all electric vehicles. One problem, FinalTelegraph.com reported in an article titled LOL New EV Completely Fails, Less Than 80 Miles Later, Attempt to Drive at Highway Speeds Ends in Miserable Failure wrote, “Do you want an electric vehicle? Well, you might want to reconsider driving the improved golf cart more than a few miles to work and back, especially if you plan to go at average highway speeds. Such is what Car and Driver found in its hilarious review of the new, electric Mazda MX-30.  And that’s not an outdated EV that ought to be consigned to the garbage right now. The automobile is the 2022 model.”
  7. Biden and Democrats promised unity while they set about dividing the nation into groups and then pitted them one against the other: Democrats use their core ideals of diversity, inclusion and equity to divide Americans into different classes of citizens. Learn more about the myths of diversity, inclusion and equity (DIE) here, here, here and here. Finally, we learn that Democrats don’t really care about embracing minority races as the Democrat controlled Congressional Hispanic Caucus has rejected fellow Hispanic Mayra Flores because “she is not a Democrat.”
  8. Democrats scream about how voter IDs harm minorities and election fraud while they are caught stuffing ballot boxes: After the 2020 presidential we have learned according to a Dominion voting machines audit that ballot error rate was at least 85,000 times higher than FEC allows. How the documentary “2000 Mules” exposed ballot traffickers who stole the 2020 election and how Biden’s USPS Chief in Mail-In Ballot Unit was arrested after trying to meet a teenaged boy for sex.
  9. Mandate everyone get vaxxed while they make millions off of their big pharma investments: Here are a series of columns on the legality, effectiveness and outcomes of vax mandates by the Biden administration, Democrat governors and members of congress: Vax Mandate Stabs Constitution in the Back; The Plain Truth about Biden’s Vaccine Mandate; 50% Increase in Miscarriages; 50% Decrease in Fertility After COVID Vax; Texas Hospital Faces Closure Over COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate; and STANFORD Tells Doctors To Give False Information In Order to Overcome Vaccine Resistance. Recently the New York Supreme Court ordered New York City to reinstate unvaccinated employees, and give them backpay.
  10. Democrats and Biden are pushing the LGBTQIE+ agenda in public schools, colleges, universities and in our federal government: Biden wants underaged children to be ‘Gender-Transitioned’ whether parents like it or not. Here are a series of column on the queering of America’s children in order to have sex with pedophiles, pederasts and perverts. For example a Nevada doctor who killed woman in botched abortion, and has been accused of sexually assaulting a minor, was featured in Democrat campaign ad. Learn how LGBTQIE+ groups are quietly dismantling norms, and changing public education. A shocking report found that of the 1,000 LGBTQIE+ U.S. Elected Officials 75% are Democrats. Even the U.S. Department of Energy is promoting dog collars and hosted drag queen Sam Brinton and other LGBTQ+ Activists. To say that Democrats are all into queering our children is putting it lightly.
  11. Biden’s Open Borders Policy: Perhaps the most important issue is the security of a nation’s borders. A nation without borders is no longer a nation. According to FAIR a record 2.4 million migrants illegally crossed the U.S. Mexico border in FY2022, and almost 4 Million total have illegally entered under Biden. A former border Commissioner stated, “We Have Lost Control of the Southwest Border.” The situation has gotten so bad that the Border Council President has called for Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Mayorkas’ impeachment. Finally, today drug cartels now have “operational control” of the U.S. border with Mexico.

The Bottom Line

The MARCO POLO REPORT listed 140 business-related crimes, 191 sex-related crimes, 128 drug-related crimes committed by the Biden family.

When a criminal family is in the White House what else can we the people expect except more lies, myths and half-truths to gain power, money and remain in office.

Double standards are the only way Democrats believe that they can win.

Project Veritas has exposed via an FBI whistleblower who leaked a document showing that our federal law enforcement agency is now targeting “misinformation.”

Click here to view this leaked FBI document.

Click here to tweet out this document.

Who gets to decide what is misinformation? Clearly not we the people. It will be the Democrats, legacy and social media giants like Facebook.

Today, Americans identified the media as Democracy’s biggest threat. The media, including social media, has become the propaganda arm of the Biden administration and Democrat Party.

Biden and Democrats have focused on social issues for the 2022 midterm elections while Americans are focused on the economy, crime, parental rights and inflation.

November 8th, 2022 will be a tipping point for our Constitutional Republic.

Vote wisely!

Pennsylvania Democrat Officials Mailed Out 240,000 Ballots to Unverified Voters! …UPDATE: Now at 255,000 Unverified Voters!

By Jim Hoft, October 26, 2022:

Pennsylvania Democrat officials sent out 240,000 255,000 ballots to people they could not verify either by their Social Security or Driver’s License numbers.

The ballots should NEVER have been sent out to these voters.

Fifteen Republican State Representatives sent a letter to Acting Secretary of the Commonwealth Leigh Chapman after they discovered that over 240,000 illicit ballots were sent out in the state prior to the 2022 midterm elections.

Deputy Secretary Jonathan Marks testified in September before the Pennsylvania House that counties are responsible to verify the voter ID when a completed ballot arrive to the county. The counties argued that this was nonsense. The ID must be verified before a ballot is even sent out.

Pro-Police Grassroots Organization Urges Floridians to ‘Re-Elect DeSantis’ in targeted Florida Campaign

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. /PRNewswire/ — While the rest of the country has been tolerating crime, riots, and trying to defund the police the past two years, Florida has been supporting law enforcement and the rule of law. The entire country can thank Governor Ron DeSantis and the conservative leadership of Republican lawmakers for standing up for police and our communities.

With the 2022 Midterm Election just weeks away, it’s time for voters to show their support for these great leaders. American Police Officers Alliance Florida Independent Expenditure Committee is launching a Get Out the Vote campaign in Florida to help galvanize Florida Republicans. “If residents want Florida to continue being a state that upholds the rule of law, voters can’t be complacent,” the organization said in a statement.

The committee will reach thousands of Floridian voters and through this campaign will encourage them to get them to the polls in November. The multifaceted campaign will reach out to registered voters via text, social media, and digital advertisement on platforms such as Facebook.

The failures of the Democrats and their anti-law enforcement agenda is a major opportunity for conservative leadership to take control in November, but it will only happen if pro-law and order citizens show up and vote. For example, the 2020 Presidential Election resulted in record voter turnout but even so nearly 40% of eligible voters in Florida did not participate in the last election. And the data shows that midterm elections often yield fewer voters than presidential ones.

The organization is urging voters to support Governor DeSantis due to his proven track record supporting law enforcement. He signed anti-rioting legislation into law, offered signing bonuses to attract new police officers, and has taken a stand against illegal immigration.

Court Rejects Democratic Party Intervention in Lawsuit Challenging Illinois Vote-Counting for Two Weeks after Election Day

Washington, D.C. – Judicial Watch announced today that a federal court rejected a motion by Democratic Party of Illinois to intervene as a defendant in Judicial Watch’s lawsuit challenging an Illinois election law permitting mail-in ballots to be received as long as two weeks after Election Day.

The ruling and opinion come in the federal lawsuit Judicial Watch filed on behalf of Congressman Mike Bost and two other registered Illinois voters to prevent state election officials from extending Election Day for 14 days beyond the date established by federal law (Rep.Michael J. Bost, Laura Pollastrini, and Susan Sweeney v. The Illinois State Board of Elections and Bernadette Matthews (No. 1:22-cv-02754)).

In the court’s ruling and opinion on the Democratic Party of Illinois motion to intervene, U.S. District Judge John F. Kness held that its participation would “delay this time-sensitive case:”

[Democratic Party of Illinois] cannot meet its burden to show that its interests will not be adequately represented by the parties to the case. As a result, [Democratic Party of Illinois] is not entitled to intervene as of right. Separately, because allowing [Democratic Party of Illinois] to intervene would threaten to delay this time-sensitive case further, the Court, in its discretion, denies [Democratic Party of Illinois] motion seeking permission to intervene as a party under Rule 24(b). Accordingly, the Court denies DPI’s motion in its entirety.

(The Democratic Party of Illinois is represented by the Elias Law Group, whose founding partner is Marc Elias, the controversial lawyer for Hillary Clinton’s campaign.)

Federal law defines Election Day as “the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November of every even-numbered year.” The initial complaint states:

Despite Congress’ clear statement regarding a single national Election Day, Illinois has expanded Election Day by extending by 14 days the date for receipt and counting of vote-by-mail ballots

Judicial Watch points out that the current Illinois election law allows vote-by-mail ballots received up to 14 days “after the polls close on Election Day” to be counted as if they were cast and received on or before Election Day. Illinois law also provides that “[e]ven vote-by-mail ballots without postmarks shall be counted if received up to 14 calendar days after Election Day if the ballots are dated on or before Election Day.”

Judicial Watch’s lawsuit notes:

The Board … advised that the number of ballots received after Election Day through November 17, 2020, could materially affect the unofficial election results.

[ *** ]

[Illinois’ own data indicates that] Illinois received 266,417 vote-by-mail ballots statewide during the period from November 3rd through November 17th.

[ *** ]

[M]ost of the 266,417 vote-by-mail ballots were received after Election Day, which would mean that as many as 4.4% of votes cast in 2020 were received after Election Day. [Emphasis in original]

Judicial Watch argues that holding voting open for 14 days past Election Day violates the constitutional rights of voters and candidates:

By counting untimely and illegal ballots received after Election Day and diluting Plaintiffs’ timely cast and received ballots, Defendants, acting under color of Illinois law, have deprived and are depriving Plaintiffs of rights protected under the First Amendment and 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

“The Democratic Party failed to gum up this important lawsuit for election integrity,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “We are supposed to have an Election Day, not Election Weeks – or months. Illinois’ 14-day extension of Election Day beyond the date set by Congress is illegal, violates the civil rights of voters, and encourages fraud.”

The Delaware Supreme Court recently struck down the state’s vote-by-mail and same-day voter registration statutes for violating the Delaware Constitution. In making its ruling, the court effectively concurs with the amicus curiae brief Judicial Watch submitted in the case, which argues the Delaware statute impermissibly expands those practices far beyond the limits set in the Delaware Constitution.

In a separate Judicial Watch election lawsuit against Illinois, a federal court ruled in June 2021 that the lawsuit could proceed against Illinois officials for denying public access to Illinois’ voter registration database.

In February 2022, Judicial Watch settled its voter rolls clean-up lawsuit against North Carolina and two of its counties after the North Carolina removed over 430,000 ineligible names from the voter rolls.

In March 2022, a Maryland court ruled in favor of Judicial Watch’s challenge to Maryland’s Democratic legislature “extreme” congressional redistricting gerrymander.

For more than 25 years, Judicial Watch has been known for its aggressive, leading-edge use of public records laws and lawsuits, as well as taxpayer, civil rights and whistleblower protection litigation to fight government corruption. Judicial Watch is a national leader in voting integrity and voting rights. As part of this effort, Judicial Watch assembled a team of highly experienced voting rights attorneys who stopped discriminatory elections in Hawaii, and cleaned up voter rolls in California, Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky, among other achievements.

Christine Svenson, Esq., of Svenson Law Offices in Palatine, Illinois, is assisting Judicial Watch with the lawsuit.

Democrats Ask: Have You Hugged a Criminal Today?

In a debate last night, Lee Zeldin accused Democrat New York Governor Kathy Hochul of being soft on crime.

He pointed out she bragged about her support for cashless bail and he called for the state’s cashless bail law to be suspended.  “I don’t think that if you are Mexican cartel drug smugglers busted with $1.2 million worth of crystal meth that you should just be instantly released on cashless bail,” he said.   When Hochul tried to pivot to gun control, Zeldin said plenty of serious crimes are being committed without guns.  “You have people who are afraid of being pushed in front of oncoming subway cars. They’re being stabbed, beaten to death on the street with hammers,” he said.  Zeldin then pledged, if elected governor, to fire Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, a Soros Progressive prosecutor who has been criticized for not prosecuting violent crimes.

Polls show crime is a campaign issue, as well it should be.  The Democrats’ insane criminal justice policies – from cashless bail to defunding the police to allowing the homeless to camp out in your front yard without penalty – should be on trial in this election.

Need more proof the Democrats are out of their ever-lovin’ minds when it comes to criminal justice reform?  Consider these recent stories:

Senate candidate John Fetterman in Pennsylvania thinks murderers serving time in prison are just like your grandfather and grandmother.  That’s insane.  This from a guy who wants to let one-third of all criminals in prison out because it will make everyone safer.  The man is a certified lunatic.

Cashless bail has produced stories like the New York man, previously arrested 12 times, released without bail attacking two women in broad daylight.  One was pushing a baby stroller.  Before he grabbed her neck, he shouted, “ F*** you, B***!  Go ahead and call the cops, I don’t care.”  That’s insane.

But not as insane as what goes on now in Minneapolis, where police have been constrained from pursuing suspects in vehicles.  Car thieves race around neighborhoods and wave at the police while roaring by them in stolen cars.  But here’s what’s really insane: The same kind of limited vehicle pursuit law was recently passed in Washington state.  Officers are supposed to wait for clearance from headquarters before initiating pursuit.  Suspects are now calling 9-1-1 to report officers who pursue them.  “I have a cop chasing me in violation of House Bill 1047,” they tell the operators.  Things have truly gone upside down.

All this insanity has real-world consequences.  Businesses are closing in San Francisco and Philadelphia because of rampant crime.  The number of police officers injured or killed in surprise ambushes has soared since rioters were given a free pass for burning down cities and attacking law enforcement in the summer of 2020.   The Democrats cause a soaring crime problem, then go on TV and call anyone who brings attention to it a racist for pointing it out.

But the Democrats know their policies have been ruinous.  That’s why they’re trying to run away from them in this election.  They say the stupidest things like they were never for defunding the police when they obviously were.  Kamala Harris now claims she never supported an organization that bailed out murderers and rapists, but her tweet asking people to donate to the organization is still up.

Democrats have also shown by their actions they know they went down the wrong road.  The Governor of New Mexico pushed cashless bail and defunding the police, but is now begging the feds to send more law enforcement to her state because the crime is so bad there.  And I’ve lost count of the number of cities that have scrambled to re-fund the police after defunding the police caused crime to spiral out of control.

The Democrats have shown you by word and deed they admit their criminal justice reforms were disastrous.  But, unfortunately, their policies caused all kinds of real-world insanity and ruinous consequences.  If you listen to all this and say to yourself, ‘I’m still going to vote Democrat,’ then YOU are the one who is insane.
