Election Security Is Nonnegotiable

Original Article

In one of America's most technologically advanced states, California voters have grown accustomed to waiting days, and sometimes weeks, for election results. The state’s elections are a national disgrace. Peru successfully conducted a national election involving more than 20 million voters and produced results within a single day. A single day. Yet in California, voters must wait days or weeks to learn the outcome of elections. In the world's most powerful democracy, that should be unacceptable. These delays matter because election security is a matter of national security. The foundation of every strong nation is trust

Kalifornia is a national disgrace in more ways than one. What we, Americans in the 'other 49', regard as a non-negotiable requirement of a law based Constitutional order, California's ruling cabal looks upon as a seminal threat to the one party state they have created through so many inequities. This is the hill they will die on. And we must let them.

As Western identity crumbles under the pressure of ideological abstraction and bureaucratic managerialism, Winston Churchill rises above the crowd as a lonely, embattled monument to conservative prudence. In contrast to the imperialist warmonger of historical revisionism, Churchill embodied a profound Burkean conservatism: a soldier-statesman acutely conscious of civilization’s fragility, a patriot who loved British inheritance not as static relic but as living covenant, and a thinker who grasped that ordered liberty demands both reverence for the past and wary adaptation. His life, forged in the crucibles of the Boer War, Gallipoli, and the cataclysm of WWII, testifies to a worldview that prized historical continuity over utopian rupture.

Spencer Pratt, the registered Republican Los Angeles mayoral candidate who was heading for a runoff until loads of questionable ballots surfaced days after the election, says that the fire this week at his office was no accident. The fire, which occurred at Pratt’s crystals company office in the Pacific Palisades on Thursday afternoon, is under investigation for “suspicious” circumstances, and Pratt himself certainly believes that it was the result of deliberate action: (X) The New York Post reported: The Los Angeles mayoral candidate confirmed that the office, located inside the Highlands Circle complex at 1515 Palisades Dr., belonged to him.

For those following NewsBusters’ coverage of the defamation cases brought against CNN (successful) and the Associated Press (on-going) by Navy veteran Zachary Young, one name should be familiar: Charles D. Tobin. A lawyer with Ballard Spahr, Tobin was part of the legal team that represented CNN and then the AP. As with the nature of defamation cases, both hinged on words and their interpretations. Tobin’s arguments before Florida’s First District Court of Appeal have repeatedly shown an aversion to holding the media to objective definitions. In the CNN case, the phrase “black market” was one of the contentious points Young successfully argued were defamatory against him. In an unsuccessful April 2024

Even in the midst of PM Mark Carney’s flat-out admission that he’s ushering in a European-based New World Order “forcing” Canadians to be part of it, Trudeau’s tawdry romance with celebrity Katy Perry is literally dominating the “News”. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canadians will be forced to be part of "the next world order" that will emerge from Europe. “This will be a unilateral decision that will not ask Canadians for their input. "Canada will be part of that effort.”(Shadow of Ezra) For the last 11 years as Canada’s Prime Minister, Trudeau, the father of three, who masqueraded as a feminist, was closer to Mark Carney

Bend a piece of metal; no matter how strong it is, keep bending it, and it will break. That is our current political system. And it is worldwide. Europe is on some kind of autopilot. The people have literally no input into where they are going; it has become a very weird place. Victims of crime are being arrested while the perps are being let go. 90% of all new jobs are going to foreigners. Europe is getting closer every day to revolution. Here, the difference in political parties has become so vast that any change in the power balance in Washington results in instability, chaos, and much bending. When Obama was

Remember Daniel Dale? Well, for those who watch CNN to keep an eye on what the enemy is doing, he’s the network’s fact-checker, and he’s vanished. Some in the media noticed that he’s been absent from the airwaves ever since the merger between Warner Bros. and Paramount was announced. The network says Dale is still around, however (via NY Post): CNN’s most recognizable fact-checker has all but disappeared from the network’s airwaves, fueling questions about the sudden absence of one of its more familiar on-air personalities. Daniel Dale, a Canadian journo who built a national profile as fact-checker of President Trump and other politicians, has not appeared

Disgraced Democrat Hillary Clinton is continuing to perpetuate an old lie pushed by liberals to prevent election security. (X) “They’re trying to kick people off of voter rolls,” Clinton said of Republicans promoting basic election integrity measures. “They’re trying to demand…you know…forms of identification most real people don’t have, and most older people, and most rural people don’t have. They are certainly redistricting to make it difficult to elect black representatives or Latino representatives or Democrats. So, that means that we have to be even more intentional in showing up and voting.” So most “real people” (whatever that means) don’t have a REAL ID driver’s license or a passport?

The news is as appalling, infuriating, sick-making, inexcusable, and earth-shaking, but one thing it isn’t is surprising. The revelation that one of the chief financiers of the principal forces arrayed against Britain and the West in general is the British government is all too much in keeping with the suicidal leftism we have seen from that government (whether the Tories or Labour are in power) for years now. So of course they’re funding ISIS. What else would they do? And the rot is even deeper than that. The Daily Mail reported Monday that the British government “gave more than £28 billion in taxpayer cash to its enemies over six years,

On April 2, 2025, Karmelo Anthony went to Memorial High School looking for a fight. Though he was participating in a track meet, he felt the need to bring a knife in his backpack. Once at the school, he sat in the tent of the opposing team. When confronted by Austin Metcalf, who told him to leave, Anthony reached into his backpack and said, “Touch me and see what happens.” Metcalf then grabbed Anthony in an attempt to forcibly move him out of the tent.

It was another busy week in the news, highlighted by the election for Mayor of Los Angeles, in which Democrats snatched victory from the ballot box of defeat with the now-familiar flood of post-election votes. As in the past, many were suspicious. Graham Platner was in the news again. In any past era, his escapades would have led to a hasty substitution of a more plausible candidate. But the Democrats, as we have observed over the years, don’t embarrass easy. An attempted decapitation in Ireland and a successful stabbing murder in Texas riled the public but elicited perverse reactions from the Left.

I saw 2001: A Space Odyssey in 1968. I was 14. I enjoyed the visual spectacle—its special effects hold up well today—but hadn’t a clue about its meaning. I eventually showed it to my Advanced Placement kids in high school. They were used to having all the answers, so I asked them to keep question logs we’d answer after the film. They scribbled furiously and constantly and walked out each day—it’s a long movie—muttering to themselves. Finding out you don’t have all the answers, that you really don’t know it all, is hard—and character building. After a period in which I answered some questions and left the rest unanswered—they were

Convicted killer Karmelo Anthony has claimed he’s “penniless” and can’t afford a lawyer for his appeal — despite his family collecting $625,000 in crowdfunding for his legal defense and “living expenses,” according to a report. Anthony, 19, made the assertion in a notice of appeal filed after he was found guilty of fatally stabbing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf and sentenced to 35 years behind bars, according to a report by ABC WFAA. Anthony — who was moved to a Texas state prison Wednesday — is “penniless, destitute, and indigent person, too poor to employ counsel to represent me on the appeal,” reads the appeal form.

On Friday morning, Elon Musk became the first trillionaire in recorded human history. SpaceX began trading on the Nasdaq, opened 11 percent above its suggested IPO price, and Forbes estimated its net worth had crossed $1.1 trillion before noon Eastern. No person had ever done this before. Not even close. SpaceX priced its IPO at $135 per share on Thursday night, locking in a valuation of roughly $1.77 trillion before a single share changed hands. That made it the largest IPO in history, surpassing Saudi Aramco's $29 billion raise in 2019 by more than $45 billion. The company set its price before

There is growing momentum within the Democratic Party to find its next ObamaCare heading into the midterms, as healthcare costs become more untenable and American anger over affordability persists. Healthcare has consistently ranked as a top issue for voters heading into this year’s midterm elections. June polling from Emerson College found that healthcare ranked in the top five issues for voters, behind the economy, threats to democracy and immigration. The expiration of the enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits dealt a heavy blow to Democrats in Congress, who carried out the longest government shutdown in history to get a vote on extending the subsidies.

Back in 2022, then-former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard got blistered for raising concerns that the United States might be funding bio-research labs with dangerous pathogens in foreign countries like war-torn Ukraine. Republican Mitt Romney – like Gabbard a former presidential candidate – accused her of spreading "treasonous lies" and "Russian propaganda," and many in the news media joined the chorus in a concerted effort to diminish the threat that U.S. tax dollars could one day lead to an accidental virus outbreak from one of those foreign labs. Four years later, Gabbard turned the tables in epic fashion.
