“All data collected by the DMV that identifies noncitizens is shared with ELECT, which uses it to scrub existing voter rolls and remove noncitizens who may have purposefully or accidentally registered to vote,” Youngkin wrote. “According to data from ELECT, between January 2022 and July 2024, records indicate we removed 6,303 noncitizens from the voter rolls.”
In a statement after Contraras' ruling, America First Legal’s executive director Gene Hamilton said:
“The Biden-Harris Administration was actively destroying the records of federal employees at the CDC in blatant violation of the law — and we are pleased that the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia has ordered a stop to their illegal conduct.” //

Here's a question: "How many of the top bureaucrats of the CDC use "low level employee" email addresses instead of their proper email address?" Oh, I'm sure no bureaucrat or politician ever used email aliases. //

I tall you what. I think all the federal agencies are broken and I don't see how we can ever recover. The bureaucrats are running the country, the constitution be damned. The USSS didn't record radio transmissions during the Trump assassination attempt. The NIH and the CDC along with the NIAID and the DOD lied about Covid and gain of function. The FBI and CIA lied about J6.... They lied about killing Ashli Babbitt and Byrd got a promotion. They go merrily on their way as the country implodes because of their decisions and yet no one is in jail. DHS lied about the border and flying ILLEGALS all over the country. They have placed an ex-congresswoman (Gabbard) on the terrorist watch list. They can find people who pray at abortion clinics and sentence them to prison. They raid a former presidents residence because of "classified" documents but the meat sack is too senile to be charged as was DJT. I could go on all day but what the hell, no one pays the price except us deplorables. What a bullshit society we are lining in today and the bureaucrats continue to run it into the ground with impunity. If this continues and I see no reason it won't....we don't have long as a country before the wheels fall off the train and we crash like never before.
Election Watch has compiled thousands of examples of a recent pattern that consists of elderly women making tens of thousands of donations of varying amounts to Democratic candidates and progressive activist groups.
The problem is, a donor who is listed as having made 25,000 donations of varying amounts needed, assuming three minutes per donation, would have to do nothing but make contributions 24/7, for 52 days. No bathroom breaks, no meals, no sleep.
Nobody in their right mind would do that, of course, but consider the odds of how long it would take a 75 year-old woman to make 25,000 individual donations. Extend the time for each donation from three minutes to five minutes and the total of days required working 24/7 goes up to 87.
And we haven't even mentioned the additional fact that the contribution totals for legions of the donations compiled by Election Watch are substantial. The first entry for Virginia, for example, totals nearly $840,000. //
Here's a theory: Somebody (China? Russia?) is providing millions of dollars to big groups of individuals being paid to submit donations of varying amounts using names of elderly folks gleaned from old FEC records via Act Blue and/or other contribution conduits. Do the candidates or causes know this is being done? That's one of the key questions to be answered. //

I assume it’s called “smurfing” because it only happens for blue (i.e., D) candidates?
late Friday afternoon came the announcement that the Department of Justice has formally settled the claims brought against it by former FBI agent Peter Strzok and former FBI lawyer Lisa Page, asserting that the release of their text exchanges in relation to the investigations into Hillary Clinton's emails and the "Russia Collusion" hoax regarding former President Donald Trump violated their privacy. //

A Friday night news dump F you. Brazen stuff. These people have no privacy on government devices. Their messages belong to us. The worse you behave, the more you get paid as long as it’s in service of the correct side. Disgraceful.

Biden administration launders $1.2M payment to Peter Strzok (and likely a similar payment to Lisa Page) through settlement of likely-doomed lawsuit.
7:56 PM · Jul 26, 2024 //
That's right — our federal government will be dispensing $2 million in taxpayer dollars to settle claims by former government employees who exchanged messages on government-issued devices that the disclosure of said messages — which went directly to the heart of investigations in which they played critical roles — violated their privacy. //

Strzok had no case. So the only way the Strzok payment makes any sense is that the Biden regime has started handing out hush money on its way out. Expect a lot more of this in the coming months.
10:42 PM · Jul 26, 2024 //
Right, so the government employees who played politics with the lives of the entire country bemoan playing politics when it affects them personally. Well, that's rich. And now, so are Page and Strzok.
A left-wing nonprofit that interfered in the 2020 election to Democrats’ benefit is coaching election offices on how to address concerns about leftist oligarchs’ silent coup to replace Joe Biden as the party’s presidential nominee.
On Tuesday, the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL) sent an email to its newsletter subscribers highlighting Biden’s Sunday exit from the 2024 race and informing election officials that “voters and media outlets will be looking to you for guidance in the coming weeks, and you will play a powerful role in shaping this emerging story.”
‘The public deserves answers for how this Executive Order is being implemented, particularly as VP Harris becomes the new nominee,’ Rep. Bryan Steil said. //
President Joe Biden may have left the presidential race, but “Bidenbucks” lives on.
And you can bet your federal tax bill that the Biden administration will be revving up the taxpayer-funded, get-out-the-vote machine for not-so-accidental candidate Vice President Kamala Harris.
“I think they definitely will,” Hans von Spakovsky, a former member of the Federal Election Commission and manager of the Heritage Foundation’s Election Law Reform Initiative, told me in an interview this week. “I think what they’re doing is an unlawful use of federal taxpayer dollars, and I don’t think any president has the right to do it.”
Documents obtained by the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project expose federal agencies working with left-wing activist groups in targeting traditionally Democrat voters to cast mail-in ballots for Biden’s No. 2 in November’s election. And there appears no slowdown in the constitutionally suspect initiative now that Biden has withdrawn from his reelection run and endorsed his leftist lieutenant.
Sixty-two percent of likely voters are concerned that the 2024 election will be marred by cheating, a new survey finds.
These transcripts are a big deal because one of the most direct allegations of criminality involving Biden's actions was that he shared classified information with his biographer. Had these been handed over months ago, it could have dramatically escalated the stakes regarding Hur's investigation and his subsequent report. It would have also deepened the scandal for a White House that was already in crisis given Biden's other issues, including his mental and physical condition.
It is simply not believable that the DOJ didn't know about these transcripts until the exact moment it became most politically convenient to acknowledge them. Now that Biden is out of the race, he is no longer in need of protection from AG Merrick Garland and his compromised department. Further, it allows now-presumptive Democratic Party nominee Kamala Harris to claim that the administration is "transparent" despite the obvious timing issues at play. The same is true of the sudden reversal by Secret Service head Kimberly Cheatle, who resigned on Tuesday.
Then there's the other aspect at play. Could this be part of a ploy to go ahead and push Biden to resign the presidency, giving Harris a chance to garner an incumbency advantage? I wouldn't put anything past the DOJ and the administration as a whole at this point. Everything is on the table given the continued evidence of their dishonesty and corruption.
Right now, this looks like a two-birds-with-one-stone setup, and I don't think too many people are going to buy that it's just a coincidence.
The story here is not that Max Boot is disgusting (he is) or that he was targeted for marriage (my speculation because Terry is definitely out of the league of women Boot was used to playing in) by Terry because his position at the Post gave her propaganda greater reach and her more Vuitton bags. The real story is how this happened. How long has the FBI known of Terry's side gig? Did anyone at the Washington Post have any curiosity or qualms about the op-eds he was co-writing with his wife? And when did Boot, the spy-catcher of Trump's first term, discover that his wife was a foreign agent of influence?
The climax of the Cuban Missile Crisis was summed up in Secretary of State Dean Rusk's quip, "We're eyeball to eyeball, and I think the other fellow just blinked." In this case, we didn't get eyeball to eyeball because Joe Biden did a kowtow based on a glare.
Even though the deployment of this missile system was intended to be "temporary," temporary was never defined. Pulling the missile out as China is grousing about it is a bad look as China is doing nothing to "reduce tensions" in the South China Sea because it looks, smells, and tastes like surrender.
Just as Biden's half-hearted efforts to roll back Russian aggression in Ukraine haven't gone unnoticed by our allies and adversaries, neither has Biden's reluctance to confront Chinese adventurism and provocations in the Pacific. Instead of standing firm, Biden has let China dictate to the US what kind of military equipment we can station on the territory of a willing ally. //

My guess is that the entire Biden foreign policy apparatus is compromised by China. The “Penn/Biden Center” was entirely paid for by China . FJB, Blinken, and the rest of his inner circle were all paid “employees” at the Center, where top secret documents were being kept. Connect the dots: FJB and his staff are paid agents of China, doing its bidding against US interests. Hunter is the Bagman, and the House has the actual wire transfer records showing Chinese money passing to FJB. And the “press” are willing participants/traitors in the coverup.
The only thing screwing this up is FJB’s senility, or China would own us by 2028…. //

The PRC compromise of America and its institutions extends far beyond the Bidens, although it certainly includes them. I used to think the Soviets were pretty good at compromising American assets, but the PRC has long ago said “hold my Tsingtao,” and made the Russians look like lightweight amateurs. They probably have the most massive effort to subvert an opponent in world history. //

Main comment: I agree with Streiff that Biden is getting rolled by the Chinese.
++++++++++++++++++
Secondary comment: I disagree with the second part of the headline where Xi is JFK (i.e., the winner). I think Xi is Khrushchev (because he, not JFK, was the winner). If you're interested why I take this view, read on.
I admit I'm in the minority, but I have an entirely different take of the Cuban Missile Crisis. I maintain Khrishchev got exactly what he wanted: getting the US Jupiter missiles out of Turkey and Italy. Which is exactly what happened as a result of a very secret agreement between Washington and Moscow that actually resolved the crisis.
So, contrary to Rusk's assertion, I think it's the US that blinked.
And it was only a post-crisis Madison Avenue-style PR blitz that relied on "Camelot" (especially in the wake of the Bay of Pigs PR hit to JFK's rep) to make JFK look the hero with the added claim that the Jupiters were going to be retired anyway.

“Marc Elias is in the business of defending the riches of a disastrous elections system with universal vote-by-mail that are sending ballots automatically to thousands of bogus addresses,” Adams added.

This series aims to uncover the processes, mechanisms, tools, and technologies used by Democrats to master our political processes and to develop strategies which answer and ultimately defeat their manipulations in 2024 and beyond. //
Democrats have leveraged the ERIC system and state data feeds to gain real-time access to ballot information, allowing them to track whether ballots have been received, cast, and returned.
This data advantage provides an unprecedented capability to influence election outcomes by focusing efforts on aligned non-voters and ensuring these ballots are cast and counted. Republicans, lacking similar access and real-time processing capabilities, are at a strategic disadvantage.
Past elections provide clear examples of these vulnerabilities. In 2020, Matt Braynard's analysis, now scrubbed from search engines, identified potential large-scale fraud through statistical and data irregularities as well as mismatches in voter information. His findings demonstrated how errors in data management could be exploited to introduce fraudulent activity at scale.
The ability to track individual ballots and their status within the system, from receipt to return and tabulation, has revolutionized vote management. This capability, integrated into Democratic vote management apps and platforms, provided an unprecedented advantage in 2020. //
A current concern involves the use of the HAVA (Help America Vote Act) database, managed by the Social Security Administration, to verify new voter registrations. News reports by Tim Pool of Timcast and others indicate that unknown actors in states like Texas and Missouri are attempting to register tens to hundreds of thousands of new voters each week, with many thousands to tens of thousands rejected, indicating these individuals are deceased.
This anomaly suggests a potential organized effort to register large numbers of illegal migrants, particularly in states experiencing high immigration flows. The scale and consistency of these errors highlight the vulnerability of the registration process to systematic manipulation.

Top Biden Donor Revealed to Be Pakistani Government Official - What Did He Get in Return? – RedState
Ever heard of Tahir Javed?
Nor had I, but it turns out he was one of President Biden's biggest donors in the 2020 election - and he's also now a Pakistani government official. Front Page's Daniel Greenfield has the details: //
four of whom were recognized along with myself… to have raised over $100,000 personally.” These donors would have likely come through Javed’s roles in various Islamic and Pakistani groups operating inside America. //
Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, who called Osama bin Laden a “martyr”, declared, “Tahir Javed has been instrumental in setting up a Pakistan Congress Foundation that has played a key role in revival and activation of Congressional Pakistan Caucus at the 116th Congress”. //

Pakistan is the land of shadows, tribal loyalties, puzzles, corruption, smiles, assassinations, retained British traditions, gorgeous Raj architecture, religious fervor, and suicidal cronyism. It is also the most interesting country I have ever visited.
The “Australian Ballot” is the ballot Americans know and trust. First used in Australia in 1856, the ballot is what we know as the secret ballot. Americans trust that they can go to the polls, privately vote, and no one will find out who they voted for. States even prohibit people taking pictures of their ballots to discourage voter intimidation. But Texans need to know they have a secret ballot no more.
In a wild story out of Texas, the website Current Revolt obtained Matt Rinaldi’s Super Tuesday ballot. //
That someone was able to both locate and reveal the supposedly secretly cast ballot of anyone, let alone the Chairman of the Republican Party of Texas, should rise to a federal investigation. Current Revolt, in revealing Rinaldi’s ballot, wrote, “There are multiple methods that can be used to reveal ballots cast by voters in Texas. The Rinaldi ballot was obtained with one method. Another method, is described in a lawsuit led by Dr. Laura Pressley.” [Emphasis added] In other words, the site did not wish to reveal the means by which Rinaldi’s ballot was obtained and who actually obtained it.
The Georgia Election Board chided Fulton County for breaking the law in 2020 but stopped short of referring the case for more investigation.
Florida lawmakers showed their willingness to crack down on third-party organizations who break the law when registering voters — and in response, the groups have significantly slimmed down their operations in the Sunshine State, according to a report from WUSF.
