REPORT: Texas AG Opens ‘Criminal Investigation’ Into Dominion Voting Systems.

A sheriff’s office in Barry County, Michigan, says it has been referring suspected electoral crimes to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and that the America First law officer has opened a criminal investigation into Dominion Voting Systems.

“The Barry County Sheriff’s Office has an ongoing investigation into election related crimes since December 2020,” a statement from Sheriff Dar Leaf explains, confirming the Michigan law office “has made referrals for criminal ingestion to the Texas Attorney General’s Office.”

It adds that the Texas Attorney General has “opened a criminal investigation related to Dominion Voting Systems, Election Systems & Software (ES&S), Hart InterCivic, and SolarWinds, including specific subcontractors, agents, and employees.”

Sheriff Lar pledges to continue assisting Paxton as the investigation unfolds.

Dominion voting machines are already stirring controversy in the 2024 election amid ongoing early voting. Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson has confirmed that some terminals are experiencing issues nationwide with split-ticket ballots.

Top Harris Surrogate Calls Female Trump Voters Weak and Dumb.

Top Kamala Harris campaign donor and surrogate Mark Cuban says “strong, intelligent women” do not support President Donald J. Trump, implying the women backing the 2024 Republican nominee are weak and stupid. Cuban’s remarks came during an appearance on ABC’s all-female-hosted talk show, The View.

“Donald Trump, you never see him around strong, intelligent women—ever. It’s just that simple,” Cuban claimed.


Cuban, a billionaire best known for selling several software companies and websites during the early ‘Dot Com Boom’ in the 1990s, has emerged as one of Vice President Harris’s most vocal supporters and campaign surrogates in recent months. Cuban, the owner of the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks, has appeared alongside Harris on the campaign trail and is one of her most aggressive allies in the media.

The disparaging remarks about women voting for Trump come on the heels of Joe Biden dismissing Trump supporters as “garbage” during a Tuesday night Harris campaign event with Voto Latino. Biden’s remarks were aired on CNN and drew immediate backlash from across the political spectrum—including among Democrats.

Governor Josh Shapiro (D-PA), responding to Biden’s insult of Trump voters, said: “I’m giving you my fresh reaction to it. I would never insult the good people of Pennsylvania or any Americans even if they chose to support a candidate that I didn’t support.” The Pennsylvania Democrat is considered a top contender for the party’s 2028 presidential nomination and was vetted by the Harris campaign as a potential 2024 running mate.

The denigration of female Trump supporters by Cuban—and Americans at large by Biden—could have serious implications in the final days of the 2024 presidential race. Recent polling suggests many battleground states could be decided by razor-thin margins.

2020’s Most Accurate Pollster Has Really Bad News for Kamala.

AtlasIntel, considered the most accurate pollster in the 2020 presidential election, has released its final voter survey of the seven critical battleground states. While the electorate could certainly have shifted from the 2020 presidential contest—and no U.S. election is the same—the data suggests President Donald J. Trump holds leads in all but one of the seven states, which would result in a significant Electoral College victory.

According to the data, Trump leads Vice President Kamala Harris in Arizona by 4.2 points. Meanwhile, he leads Harris in North Carolina by 3.7 points and in Nevada by 3.6 points. The presidential race is closer in the remaining battleground states, with Trump leading Harris by 2.3 points in Georgia. In Pennsylvania and Michigan, Trump leads Harris by just 1.5 and 0.6 points, respectively. And in Wisconsin, the America First leader narrowly trails his Democratic Party opponent by a razor-thin 0.2 points.

While the AtlasIntel survey suggests the electoral momentum continues to move in Trump’s direction, the narrow margins remain concerning for Republicans. Trump and Harris are well within the margin of error outside Arizona, Nevada, and North Carolina. In recent weeks, a majority of polls have shown the race tightening and beginning to lean in Trump’s direction. However, the 2024 Republican presidential nominee has not broken through entirely and put distance between himself and Harris.

It is unclear if recent polling has captured any movement among voters related to President Joe Biden’s Tuesday remarks during a Harris campaign event where he called tens of millions of Trump supporters “garbage.” Meanwhile, in another Harris campaign gaffe on Thursday, billionaire Harris donor and campaign surrogate Mark Cuban insinuated that women who back Trump are weak and dumb.

Hundreds of Ex-National Security Officials Endorse Trump.

Over 200 former officials from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have publicly endorsed Donald Trump as their preferred candidate for the presidency in an open letter. These officials, including former Border Patrol chief Rodney Scott and former U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) chief Tom Homan, argue that policies under the Biden-Harris government have dismantled border security, leading to increased crime both at the U.S.-Mexico border and nationwide.

“President Trump respected the experience of career border security professionals and listened to our advice. When border security experts explained to President Trump how illegal immigration empowers the cartels to control who and what enters our home, he listened and acted,” the letter reads. “The borders of the US were never more secure than they were during the Trump administration.”

The Biden-Harris government, on the other hand, “chose to ignore the career border security experts and instead, under VP Harris’s watch, idealist political appointees with zero border security experience were empowered to implement disastrous and deadly border security policy for the United States.”

“The devastating results have handed complete control of our border to the cartels, provided them with astronomical record profits, ballooned legal immigration backlogs, and have left millions of illegal aliens in the country,” the letter adds.

Upon assuming office, the Biden-Harris government initiated 296 executive actions related to immigration, with a considerable number overturning Trump’s policies. Notably, it reversed Trump’s ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy and halted border wall construction. Consequently, fiscal year 2024 recorded the second-highest number of illegal entries on record, surpassed only by the previous year.

The Border Patrol union has also endorsed Trump.

CNN Exec Says Biden Should Stand By His ‘Garbage’ Insult.

Mark Preston, a senior political analyst and vice president for political and special events programming at CNN, is pushing President Joe Biden to double down on his comments referring to supporters of President Donald J. Trump as “garbage.” Appearing early Wednesday morning on the network—which continues to struggle to retain viewership and raise revenue—Preston insisted Democrats should embrace Biden’s attack as it makes them look “strong.”

“I’m of the mindset that if you say it, you might as well just embrace it, and I do think that that’s a problem for Democrats,” Preston says, adding: “I do think if he said, listen, yeah, I do mean all those racist supporters of Donald Trump, yeah, I do think that they’re terrible. I think that people would look at the Democratic Party a little bit different.”

The CNN executive continues: “I do think that the Democratic Party, in general, doesn’t look like they are strong enough, and they will always back off of things. And I think that when Joe Biden backs off of saying what he really believes, I don’t think that’s a good look.”


Biden referred to supporters of the former Republican president as “garbage” Tuesday night during a live stream conversation with the far-left open borders group, Voto Latino. The comments drew immediate condemnation from President Trump and the 2024 vice presidential nominee, Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH).

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) actually interrupted Trump during a rally last night in Pennsylvania to break the news of Biden’s remark to the Republican candidate and his thousands of supporters in attendance.

CNN has struggled to maintain viewership and revenue growth in recent years. The National Pulse reported in May that the corporate news outlet’s prime-time ratings had hit their lowest in 30 years. Meanwhile, CNN has also been forced to abandon its digital opinion section and will introduce a paywall in the hopes of reversing the network’s failing financial situation.

Non-Citizens Have Been Voting in California Since 2004.

A report by the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) has exposed longstanding issues in voter registration practices in Alameda County, California, where noncitizens have been systematically registered to vote for at least two decades. This has occurred due to a lack of verification or disregard of immigration status by election officials, according to PILF’s findings.

Foreign nationals have reportedly been allowed to register and vote even after admitting their noncitizen status during interviews. The problem in Alameda County, described as business as usual for at least two decades, first came to light with evidence of an illegal immigrant being registered in 2004. PILF’s research identified 54 instances where noncitizens were improperly allowed to vote. The foundation has called on states to implement robust safeguards to prevent such occurrences.

In February 2024, PILF initiated legal action against Alameda County to obtain records of noncitizens being approved for voter registration and remaining on voter rolls, even when their ineligibility was later discovered. After pursuing the lawsuit, the foundation received documents that detailed over 60 voter registration files. These records revealed two critical issues: noncitizens openly admitted their status on registration forms, and they often remained on voter rolls until they sought naturalization and requested removal.

SHODDY VETTING.

PILF criticized the county for its failure to verify citizenship, relying instead on self-reported information from registrants. “The disclosed documents illustrate how foreign nationals are transparent or reticent about their ineligibility, yet still become registered voters,” stated PILF President J. Christian Adams. Adams also remarked on California‘s potential to improve citizenship verification if state leadership demonstrated willingness.

A federal investigation in North Carolina found similar evidence of noncitizens being registered to vote—with a number of them casting ballots.

Research indicates that noncitizen voting favors Democrats and has happened at a large enough scale to change election outcomes.

Harris Camp Tries to Manipulate Algorithms on X, Reddit.

Vice President Kamala Harris‘s 2024 presidential campaign is being accused of manipulating X (formerly Twitter) and other digital platforms in a coordinated effort to spread pro-Democratic Party propaganda, often violating the platforms’ terms of service. The Harris campaign allegedly operates a Discord server where volunteers are directed to use their social media accounts to manufacture a false consensus by making pro-Harris commentary appear more widespread than it naturally is.

The campaign’s efforts reportedly include manipulating algorithms on sites like Reddit and X. According to individuals within the campaign’s Discord server, directives block undesirable Community Notes on X, which serve as crowdsourced fact checks for misleading content. Opponents of President Donald J. Trump made a similar effort during the 2024 Republican primary.

Some Harris campaign accounts have been flagged by social media users for spreading disinformation, but their posts have surprisingly few Community Notes appended to them, possibly because campaign volunteers downvote the annotations.

The Discord server is reported to host a module on increasing users’ Community Notes ratings, positioning them to influence the platform’s content curation system more effectively. Discord channels also contain content that undermines Republican narratives through misleading community notes.

Technology and space exploration mogul Elon Musk—who owns X—says the allegations of platform and Community Notes manipulation by the Harris campaign are being being investigated by his team.

White House Caught Stealth Editing Transcript of Biden’s ‘Garbage’ Remarks.

The White House communications team is facing increasing scrutiny for editing an official transcript to make it appear President Joe Biden did not use the term “garbage” to describe supporters of President Donald J. Trump. Notably, Representatives James Comer (R-KY) and Elise Stefanik (R-NY) believe the White House may have violated the Presidential Records Act in editing the transcript—potentially a federal crime.

Late Tuesday evening, the 81-year-old Democrat referred to Trump supporters as “garbage” during a Kamala Harris campaign web call with the far-left Voto Latino group. The remarks were promptly aired on CNN, drawing almost immediate backlash and a confused response from the White House—including what appears to be two different transcripts.

The controversy centers on an apostrophe the White House communications team added to “supporters” in Biden’s remarks. The simple grammatical marking changes the entire context of what Biden clearly said in the video. In the video, Biden clearly states: “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters. His, his, his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable.”

In the immediate aftermath of the scandal, the White House communications staff refused to go on the record about whether they spoke with Biden after the remarks or how they knew what he intended to say, sowing further confusion.

Across social media, the reaction from Republican strategists and Trump supporters was swift. Consultant and GOP strategist Matt Whitlock accused the administration of “flat-out lying” in the altered transcript.

Additionally, Reps. Comer and Stefanik’s letter to White House Counsel Edward Siskel notes he should “retain and preserve all documents and internal communications related to President Biden’s statement and the release of the inaccurate transcript.”

Illegal Vote Cast by Chinese National *WILL* Count in 2024 Election?!

A Chinese national is facing charges in Michigan after illegally casting a ballot in the 2024 election. The University of Michigan student—who is not a U.S. citizen and therefore cannot legally participate in the federal election—will have their illegal vote counted, however, as there is no mechanism in place to retrieve the ballot after it has been tabulated.

The Michigan Secretary of State’s office made the criminal charges public on Wednesday. They come amid heightened concerns regarding the illegal participation of noncitizens in the American election. According to the state’s top election official, the 19-year-old Chinse national has been referred to the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s office.

The student illegally registered to vote on Sunday, signing a government form identifying himself as an American citizen. Subsequently, the Chinese national was given a ballot which they filled out and entered into the vote tabulator. Election officials admit that the illegal vote will likely count in the 2024 election as the tabulator system is meant to keep ballots anonymous, so there is no method to track back the student’s ballot and remove it from the final vote tally.

“We’re grateful for the swift action of the clerk in this case, who took the appropriate steps and referred the case to law enforcement,” a joint statement by the Michigan Secretary of State and Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s offices reads. They add: “We are also grateful to law enforcement for swiftly and thoroughly investigating this case. Anyone who attempts to vote illegally faces significant consequences, including but not limited to arrest and prosecution.”

Earlier in the day, the United States Supreme Court issued a stay, blocking a lower court ruling that sided with a Biden-Harris government lawsuit seeking to block Virginia from continuing to remove self-identified noncitizens from their voter rolls.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Told Americans: ‘Screw Your Freedom.’ So Of Course He’s Backing Kamala.

Actor and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has endorsed Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential race, complaining that former President Donald J. Trump will “divide,” “insult,” and be “un-American” if he is reelected.

Schwarzenegger, an Austrian immigrant whose father was a Nazi veteran, railed, “To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is [sic] a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious”—misrepresenting Trump’s warning that the Democrats have made America “like a garbage can for the world” by turning a blind eye to illegal immigration.

“I will always be an American before I am a Republican. That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz,” he said, insisting, “We need to close the door on this chapter of American history.”

Schwarzenegger won California’s governorship as a Republican in 2003, despite being accused of groping by six women. He denied the charges at the time but finally admitted to it last year.

After Trump embarked on his first presidential run, Schwarzenegger took over as frontman for The Apprentice, but failed to achieve his predecessor’s ratings. Trump has ribbed Schwarzenegger frequently over this failure, after the neoliberal actor turned on the populist businessman during his first Republican primary.

After Trump’s election, Schwarzenegger, 77, grew increasingly erratic, exploding “Screw your freedom!” at Americans who did not want to mask or take Covid vaccinations in 2021.
