California’s Future: Matt Mahan, the
Bogus Conservative Whisperer
Posted By: Mercedes44, 3/11/2026 6:17:28 AM
In less than two months, voting by mail will begin in California’s midterm primary election. The actual Election Day of June 2 is illusory. By May 4, hordes of ballot harvesters will hit the streets from San Diego to Crescent City, armed with the finest microtargeting tools ever deployed. They will scour every neighborhood and canvass every precinct, finding the votes they need in college classrooms, homeless encampments, prisons, and retirement homes. For voters who didn’t register, they’ll be armed with same-day registration forms and provisional ballots. They’ll pound the pavement until the last hour of the last day,

The top Justice Department prosecutor for civil liberties and voting rights tells Just the News that her ongoing review of state voter rolls has proven tens of thousands of noncitizens made it into a position to cast ballots and that hundreds of thousands of dead or departed residents were not properly removed from state election systems.
"It's really frustrating that we're being prevented from doing our job," Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon said Tuesday night, criticizing state election offices and federal judges who are blocking her office from her historic effort to obtain and review every state's voter roll ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
Establishment elites have begun seeding the narrative that Vice President JD Vance and the GOP are locked in an internecine battle over artificial intelligence, one that could derail Vance’s ascent as the heir apparent to carry President Donald Trump’s MAGA mantle forward.
“Vance Is Handcuffed: The Tech Fight Bedeviling 2028 Republicans,” declared a recent Politico headline. “How an AI Bust Could Blow Up the 2028 Race,” warned another.The increasing emphasis on AI as a potential lightning rod election issue is not without merit. A new NBC poll finds that just 26 percent of Americans hold a positive view of artificial intelligence, crystallizing a high-stakes electoral reality:
The White House is pushing on Congress to immediately pass the Save America Act, which would require proof of citizenship to register to vote, dubbing it one of the most vital pieces of U.S. legislation ever.White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt called on Congress to act on the bill during her opening remarks at Tuesday’s White House press briefing.President Trump is urging Congress to pass the SAVE America Act; one of the most critical pieces of legislation in our nation’s history,” she said.The legislation has strong bipartisan support, with 71 percent of registered voters sampled in the latest Harvard-Harris poll, including 91 percent of Republicans,
A high-stakes special election in Georgia is now headed to a runoff after no candidate secured a majority of the vote in Tuesday’s crowded race to replace former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in Congress.
Republican Clay Fuller, a district attorney for the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit who received the “complete and total endorsement” of President Donald Trump, will face Democrat Shawn Harris, a retired U.S. Army brigadier general and cattle farmer, in an April 7 runoff.
The race to fill Georgia’s 14th Congressional District seat drew a crowded field of candidates from multiple parties. Because Georgia uses a jungle-primary system, all candidates appeared on the same ballot,

on Changing Filibuster Rules As SAVE Act
Stalls in Congress 3 replies
The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act, which would require providing ID to vote, passed the House in February but sits stalled in the Senate, where it needs 60 “ayes” to overcome a filibuster.With a tight 53-47 GOP margin in the Senate, that’s not likely to happen.
Many have suggested that we get rid of the filibuster altogether and force up or down votes in the chamber, or reinstating the "talking filibuster" — but Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) threw cold water on that plan:Eighty-three percent of Americans support voter ID, according to a February CNN poll,

Péter Magyar, leader of Hungary’s opposition party Tisza, and heads of several European nations are quietly working behind President Donald Trump’s back to reshape Europe in their own image — with a clear disregard for American interests.
Europe has long been seen as an island of stability and prosperity, but those days are firmly in the past. Only arrogance prevents Europeans from acknowledging this reality. This arrogance is driving leaders across the continent to make shortsighted decisions that threaten their most important alliance: Washington.
The 2025 US National Security Strategy rightly identifies serious problems within Europe.

renewables, and landowners face possible
eminent domain 12 replies
Texas produces so much oil that if it were an independent country, it would rank in fourth or fifth place in the world’s top oil producers. Yet the state is still looking to build massive high-voltage transmission lines primarily to satisfy the needs of wind, solar and battery facilities.
The lines will cross over tens of thousands of acres of private land. The Texas legislature shrunk the timeline to construct them at breakneck speed, which has made the landowners very conerned, considering they have little time to provide input and are potentially facing eminent domain to make room for the projects.
Reviving America’s Dying Sense of Humor

Ah, St. Patrick's Day is upon us — a fine time to restore our sense of humor.
More than 20 years ago, British sociologist Christie Davies wrote in “The Mirth of Nations” that Americans were becoming as nervous about swapping jokes as people once were in communist Eastern Europe — a warning he issued well before cancel culture. Which makes me long for the jokes my dad and Uncle Mike — a child of Irish immigrants — shared on Sundays, such as this one:
“Mike,” says Pat, “If you were stranded on a desert island, who would you like most to be with?”
“Me uncle Malachy,” says Mike.
The Art of the Decapitation

With the dust literally settling and an acknowledgment that the situation could unexpectedly change, Operation Epic Fury appears to be a success. The U.S. and Israel now control the skies and the seas, and Trump will facilitate the transition to new leadership. In its final death throes, the old regime has shot off missiles every which way, hitting random areas, with diminishing prospects of serious retaliation. Altogether, based on how the campaign has progressed, Iran is on its way to becoming a stable and prosperous republic, or at least a tolerable autocracy that doesn’t sponsor terrorism.
Even so, will this outcome satisfy the many critics of this conflict?
A federal judge on Monday fired three new leaders in the US Attorney’s Office for New Jersey.
US District Judge Matthew Brann, an Obama appointee, said the current leadership in New Jersey’s US Attorney’s Office exceeds the Attorney General’s authority.
“One year into this administration, it is plain that President Trump and his top aides have chafed at the limits on their power set forth by law and the Constitution. To avoid these roadblocks, this administration frequently purports to have discovered enormous grants of executive power hidden in the vagaries and silences of the code,” Judge Brann wrote.
When the bombs started falling on Iran, Americans on the hard right and hard left melted down quicker than the plastic slip covers on Ayatollah Khamenei’s couch: Israel had led America down this path. This is “Israel first!” There was no “imminent threat” to America. How does this improve Americans’ lives? In Congress, the opposition thundered that it was an “illegal” act of war. They’re wrong on all counts.
First, the politicians. The Constitution gives only Congress the right to declare war but is silent on the commander-in-chief’s right to take military action. In fact, war has been declared very few times in our 250-year history, and never since 1941.

President Donald Trump's declaration that he won't sign any new bills until the Senate passes voter ID threatens to derail his own legislative priorities and sideline confirmation of the newest addition to his cabinet. Trump wants Senate Republicans to ram the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act through the upper chamber with the talking filibuster, even at the cost of the Senate's most valuable commodity: floor time.
In yet another blatant betrayal of President Donald Trump and the America First agenda, Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has once again shown his true RINO colors by flatly refusing to make any changes to Senate rules that would allow the critical SAVE America Act to pass.
This comes as Trump ramps up pressure on the GOP establishment to secure our elections before the midterms, but Thune is more interested in protecting the swamp than fighting for the American people.
“Yeah, that’s not going to happen,” Thune said on Monday when pressed by ABC News about altering the Senate’s 60-vote threshold to advance legislation.
Chuck Schumer is promoting the SAVE Act without even realizing it.
While speaking to the press this week, the clearly panicked senator said that the SAVE Act would purge millions of people from the voter rolls. Does he mean illegal aliens and dead people? It’s probably safe to assume he does.
This is exactly why millions of patriotic Americans support the SAVE Act, Chuck.Chuck Schumer criticized the proposed SAVE America Act, claiming that the legislation could purge millions from voter rolls.
The Senate minority leader also took aim at tech billionaire Elon Musk, alleging that an AI-driven system linked to his efforts could remove voters without notice.
A left-wing activist network is training liberals how to slip onto juries in federal cases and then vote “not guilty” to derail prosecutions brought by the Trump Justice Department.
Recordings and training materials tied to the group Freedom Trainers show activists being coached on how to conceal their left-wing views during jury selection and then use jury nullification once they are seated on a jury. The webinars, slide decks, and pamphlets behind the effort all push the same approach: Blend in during selection, say the right things to get seated, and use the jury room to block convictions.
The French Navy will send eight frigates and two amphibious assault ships to the Eastern Mediterranean and Red Sea, joining aircraft carrier FS Charles De Gaulle (R91), following an Iranian drone attack on a Cyprus-based joint operating installation. “While the crisis in Iran – the war in Iran – is affecting the entire region, it is important for me to come here alongside you, along with the Prime Minister of Greece, to tell you that when Cyprus is attacked, it is Europe that is attacked, and that the defense of Cyprus is obviously a crucial issue for your country, (snip) but also for France and, with it, the European Union,”
The City of Seattle may have to "delay or defer" transportation projects or programs because of the expense of installing hundreds of signs warning that city property cannot be used by federal authorities for immigration enforcement actions. A fiscal note provided for Tuesday's (March 10) Public Safety Committee hearing states, "To the extent that appropriations made in the 2026 Adopted Budget support other activities, and for which SDOT cannot find efficiencies / savings (snip) SDOT may have to delay or defer projects or programs to free up funding for the signage costs (snip.) Cost for signage is indeterminate at this point (snip.)"
Tuesday on MS NOW’s “The Briefing,” Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said President Donald Trump would try to “seize ballot boxes’ to “subvert the vote” in the midterm elections.
Host Jen Psaki said, “The administration subpoenaed records from 2020 from Arizona. We know that’s not about changing the outcome of the 2020 election. We know that they’ve already gone through that. It’s obviously about 2026. What do you make of that and what’s your level of concern about it?”
Schiff said, “I think the subpoenas in Arizona, America, Maricopa County, the FBI raid in Georgia, this is all trying to establish some kind of phony predicate

On Monday night, Scott Jennings asked a simple question to a CNN panel, and it got me thinking. And what I thought about was quite disturbing.
The Department of Homeland Security has been shut down since Presidents' Day weekend. Democrats triggered it, and they've kept it going as a pressure campaign against the Trump administration's deportation agenda, specifically to hamstring Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and use that as a cudgel to force policy changes in enforcement, most of which are absurd.
The Senate voted three separate times on DHS funding bills, and each time, Democrats blocked them — every single one, with the lone exception of Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.).
Predictions are hazardous, especially about the future and especially about politics, but the best prediction right now is that the 2028 Republican nominee for President will be either JD Vance or Marco Rubio, and the Democrat nominee will be either Gavin Newsom or Kamala Harris. The ones not nominated for President will likely be nominated for Vice President.

A local Republican committee in a deep red Virginia county is in turmoil after RINOs and Democrats staged what some members are calling a “coup” by using a disorganized meeting to hold a flawed election to pick a new chairman and oust more than 100 people.
Chaos ensued during the Warren County Republican Committee’s (WCRC) February 12 mass meeting in the town of Front Royal as ballots were inexplicably passed out to Democrats, dozens of Republicans were blocked from entering the venue, and at least one person was allegedly physically pushed by the sheriff of the county.
The mass meeting occurs every two years, serving as a membership reset and an election
A left-wing activist group is teaching liberals in Washington, D.C., and "across the United States" how to increase their chances of serving as jurors on cases brought by the Trump Department of Justice so they can undermine its chances of securing convictions, training materials reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon show. Freedom Trainers, whose fiscal sponsor is the George Soros-funded group Community Change, is working to make "jury nullification"—the practice of voting against a conviction even if the defendant broke the law—a go-to legal weapon for the Left.
