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.

D.C. Businesses Are Boarding Up in Anticipation of Violence.

Business and office building lobby entrances, especially those around the White House, are being boarded up in downtown Washington, D.C. The move comes as local establishments fret over the potential for civil unrest across the city in the closing days of the 2024 election.

While Democratic Party presidential candidates have typically won Washington, D.C., with over 90 percent of the vote, the city has faced unrest following presidential elections—especially in 2016 when Donald J. Trump bested Hillary Clinton. Left-wing rioters destroyed private and public property, even burning a limousine that was the single source of income for a driver-for-hire.

The move to board up businesses in the nation’s capital could signal a belief among residents and city officials that voters are likely to return President Donald J. Trump to the White House after four years of Democratic control under President Joe Biden. Last week, The National Pulse reported that city residents have or are planning to flee the city ahead of Election Day.

“January 6th was a very scary time. I used to live right off of North Capitol Street, so I could see the Capitol. There were Proud Boys petting my dog that day. I don’t want to be a part of it,” one woman said regarding her plans. At least one city councilwoman says she’s received numerous questions from businesses in her ward about boarding up.

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.

North Korea Now Has a Missile That Can Reach Anywhere in the U.S.

North Korea conducted an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) test on Thursday, its first such test in nearly a year. Launched at 7:11 AM local time, the missile traveled northeast towards the Sea of Japan, eventually landing in the water at 8:37 AM. According to Japan‘s Defense Minister Gen Nakatani, the ICBM achieved an altitude of 4,350 miles, covered 620 miles, and remained airborne for 87 minutes. Despite its steep trajectory to avoid passing over neighboring nations, the missile appeared to demonstrate it could reach any location on the U.S. mainland.

Analysis indicates that if the missile followed a standard trajectory, its range could extend to approximately 9,320 miles, as highlighted by Kwon Yong Soo, a professor at South Korea’s National Defense University. This effectively puts all major U.S. cities within reach, with a distance from Pyongyang to Washington, D.C., of 6,800 miles.

The move comes amid reports North Korea is sending troops to assist Russia in its war with Ukraine. Under the Biden-Harris government, Russia and North Korea have adopted an increasingly hostile posture toward U.S. interests—while former President Donald J. Trump achieved a significant thaw in U.S.-North Korea relations following an initially confrontational approach.

Russia also took a less aggressive stance on the world stage under Trump, whereas it invaded Ukraine under both the Obama-Biden and Biden-Harris governments.

America is Bombing Syria Again, By The Way.

The U.S. military executed airstrikes on multiple Islamic State camps in Syria earlier this week, resulting in the deaths of as many as 35 militants, according to a statement from U.S. Central Command released Wednesday. The operation, which took place on Monday evening, targeted sites within Syria’s central desert region—specifically aiming at locations connected to senior Islamic State leaders.

The recent airstrikes are part of an ongoing effort by U.S. forces, in collaboration with Iraqi forces, to counteract the lingering influence of the Islamic State group across the region. Earlier operations were also conducted in Iraq, focusing on dismantling Islamic State strongholds and preventing their resurgence.

Pentagon officials emphasize that despite the continued threats posed by the Islamic State, the group no longer maintains the extensive control it once had. At its peak nearly a decade ago, ISIS managed to seize significant territories in both Syria and Iraq. However, the group’s caliph and physical caliph were both destroyed by actions undertaken by former President Donald J. Trump.

U.S. military operations in the area persist as the Islamic State group, though weakened, retains the ability to destabilize the region through sporadic attacks.

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.

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.

Here Are The Democrat-Run Newspapers Refusing to Endorse Kamala.

Several prominent newspapers have declined to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming 2024 presidential election despite supporting Joe Biden against President Donald J. Trump in the previous election. While the Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post have received the most attention, both newspapers have been joined by numerous others in recent days, including USA Today.

The Los Angeles Times refrained from backing Harris after owner Patrick Soon-Shiong blocked a planned endorsement. The editorial board had been preparing a statement in support of Harris, with the decision not to by ownership prompting resignations.

The Washington Post has decided to discontinue endorsements for presidential candidates indefinitely. Publisher William Lewis emphasized a return to The Post’s roots, as it did not begin endorsing candidates until the 1970s. Owner Jeff Bezos—who, like Soon-Shiong, blocked a planned endorsement by the editorial board—penned an editorial on the subject warning the public no longer trust the press and that steps must be taken to stop The Post from fading into “irrelevance.” His newspaper also saw a wave of resignations and canceled subscriptions.

USA Today offered an unprecedented endorsement to Biden in 2020 but has similarly refrained from backing any candidate this year, seeking to restore an appearance of neutrality. This reflects a larger trend within over 200 outlets in the USA Today Network opting out of endorsements for presidential or national races.

Regionally, the Sun Sentinel and the Minnesota Star Tribune, both former Biden endorsers, have also opted out this cycle. The Tampa Bay Times is going even further, declining to endorse in either the presidential race or the Senate.

Mark Steyn Gets 5-Figure-Fine After COVID Lawfare.

Mark Steyn, a former presenter on GB News, has been ordered by the High Court to pay £50,000 (~$65,000) in legal expenses to the Office of Communications (Ofcom), which regulates communications in Britain. The payment is due by November 19. Steyn initiated legal proceedings against Ofcom after it determined that two of his 2022 broadcasts violated its standards, a conclusion he says “killed” his career.

The High Court ruling in July dismissed Steyn’s case, insisting Ofcom’s decisions were based on detailed reasoning. On Tuesday, the same judge expressed dissatisfaction that both parties had failed to settle the matter of legal costs amicably sooner, suggesting an agreement might have been possible with more prudent handling.

The broadcasts in question began with The Steyn Line, a monologue segment of Steyn’s GB News show. On April 21, 2022, Steyn discussed the country’s Covid vaccine rollout, using data from the UK Health Security Agency. Ofcom ruled on March 6, 2023, that the segment misrepresented the data, posing a risk to viewers.

A subsequent episode aired on October 4, 2022, featured an interview with author Naomi Wolf. During this segment, Wolf compared the vaccine rollout to “mass murder,” drawing parallels to “doctors in pre-Nazi Germany.” Ofcom concluded that GB News did not adequately protect viewers from potentially harmful content, describing Wolf’s statements as a “serious conspiracy theory.”

Steyn, who has since relocated to the United States, had been seeking to have these rulings overturned.

Trump Invites Muslim Man Ejected from Harris Rally to Star in Ad.

Over the weekend, the campaign of Democratic candidate Kamala Harris expelled a Muslim man from a rally in Michigan, prompting the campaign of Donald J. Trump to offer him a place in a new campaign ad. Ahmed Ghanim, a Democrat and former congressional candidate, was contacted by Donald Trump’s campaign about appearing in an advertisement shortly after being ejected from a Harris rally in Michigan without explanation.

Ghanim, who had challenged a pro-Israel member of Congress earlier this year, declined the offer but has been deeply critical of the Harris campaign. He criticized Harris’s campaign for inadequate engagement with Arab and Muslim voters, noting the potential benefit for Trump.

Ghanim had been present at the rally to observe, not protest, but was escorted out by security after being directed to leave. His subsequent social media post, “No Muslims allowed at the Harris Rally in Michigan,” drew considerable attention.

Ghanim recognized the strategic timing of Trump’s outreach to him, suggesting it might influence some Muslim voters.

In September, the mayor of Hamtramck, a city in Michigan with a Muslim-majority population, stated his support for Trump. Mayor Amer Ghalib called Trump a man of principles and expressed confidence in his leadership.

Earlier this month, a group of Michigan Muslim leaders also backed Trump. Imam Belal Alzuhairi stated that Trump could stop bloodshed from occurring across the globe.
