Excerpt:

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes suffered a major setback in her highly controversial, ongoing criminal case against major Trump allies and alternate electors from the 2020 election, as the defendants recently cleared a major hurdle in their quest to dismiss the case by citing an Arizona law aimed at preventing politically-motivated prosecutions.

In April of last year, Mayes’ office announced that grand jury had indicted former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, Rudy Giuliani, and five other former aides to former President Donald Trump on felony charges related to the Trump campaign’s objection to the 2020 election results. The indictment, which includes felony counts of conspiracy, fraud and forgery, also names Trump as an “unindicted co-conspirator.”

Eleven additional Arizona Republicans who served as alternate electors have also been indicted, including former Arizona GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward, state senators Jake Hoffman and Anthony Kern, and Arizona’s RNC committeeman Tyler Bowyer. Leftist prosecutors have routinely labeled alternate electors as “fake electors” before charging them with felony forgery and fraud crimes.

David Hogg is ‘Being a Pig’: Insiders Say New DNC Vice Chair Already Using Position to ENRICH HIMSELF– wltreport.com

Excerpt:

Would it surprise you to learn that the same progressive high school student who leveraged a deadly high school shooting (he survived it) to launch his career as a political activist is now leveraging his new DNC position to push democratic party donations to fill his own pocketbook?…

According to the DNC insiders who have started murmuring about Hogg’s apparent self-enrichment, he was serious when he said he wanted to “make money” more than serve the public.

Now, David HOGG is allegedly living up to his own last name.

He is being accused by some in his own party organization of “being a pig”, according to a report by the New York Post:

David Hogg is being a pig, according to Democratic National Committee insiders who are already slinging mud at the new party vice chairman.

Barely two weeks into his tenure, Hogg has been leveraging DNC contact lists to blast out messages soliciting donations to his own political action committee — from which he draws more than $100,000 in compensation a year, according to Federal Election Commission records.

“David Hogg here: I was just elected DNC Vice Chair! This is a huge win for our movement to make the Democratic Party more reflective of our base: youthful, energetic, and ready to win,” reads one of eight texts he sent out to the DNC’s vast database of phone numbers.

Solicitation texts include a link to Hogg’s “Leaders We Deserve” PAC.

“David Hogg — talk about living up to your name. A trough of DNC dollars all for him and he doesn’t seem to give an oink,” a top Democrat grumbled to The Post.

Hogg co-founded “Leaders We Deserve” in August 2023 with the stated goal of electing young progressives to Congress and state legislatures across the country. It also provided him a six-figure income job right out of college.

Since the PAC was founded, Hogg has pocketed more than $175,000, records show, with more than $20,000 in salary payments coming in December alone, the most recent month for which public data is available.

Excerpt:

Failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris is leading the pack of Democrat hopefuls for the 2026 California governorship, polling shows.

Speculation has begun about a suitable replacement for the state’s Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is term-limited, Breitbart reported.

Harris crashed and burned in the 2024 presidential election with her spectacular loss to President Donald Trump.

In a stunning development, Democrats are rallying behind Harris to be the executive of the Golden State.

A recent poll from Emerson College Polling/Inside California Politics/The Hill indicates that Harris is far and away the leading gubernatorial candidate for the Democrats.

Exclusive | Rep. Mike Lawler calls for RICO probe as NY Dems plan election switch to thwart Trump agenda – New York Post

Excerpt:


GOP Rep. Mike Lawler vowed Monday to request a federal racketeering probe against New York over Albany Democrats’ plot to keep an Empire State congressional seat open – and hobble the Republican majority.

Lawler joined a growing chorus of high-profile Republicans who condemned Dems for considering changing state election laws to keep the deep-red upstate District 21 seat held by Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) open well after her expected resignation.

“I am going to be requesting that the Department of Justice open up a RICO investigation into New York State, because this is as corrupt a state as we have seen,” Lawler said.

Dems Plan To Use WI Supreme Court Race To Rig 2026 Midterms– thefederalist.com

Excerpt:

Little has enraged football fans quite like the most recent AFC Championship game, in which a pair of questionable calls propelled the Kansas City Chiefs to their third straight Super Bowl. Conspiracy theories and jokes about a rigged NFL abound after years of suspicion that the league orders its referees to give the Chiefs every call.

This is nonsense, of course, but imagine if an email inviting high-profile Chiefs fans to a secret meeting with head coach Andy Reid, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, his head of officiating, and Taylor Swift was uncovered. And imagine if the subject line of that email was “Chance to put the Super Bowl in play in 2025.”

Now imagine that email was real, and it wasn’t about rigging football games, but congressional elections. That’s exactly what’s going on in Wisconsin, where the state Democrat Party is brazenly using this April’s State Supreme Court race to gerrymander Republican Wisconsin Representatives Bryan Steil and Derrick Van Orden right out of their seats in the 2026 midterms.

Trump’s envoy Kellogg pushes for Ukrainian elections in 2025 after potential ceasefire – Euromaidan Press

Excerpt:

The United States wants Ukraine to conduct elections, possibly by year’s end, particularly if Kyiv reaches a truce with Russia in the coming months, according to President Donald Trump’s special envoy for Ukraine and Russia.

Ukrainian law bans presidential and parliamentary elections during martial law, extending President Zelenskyy’s tenure beyond its planned 2024 end until parliament lifts the restrictions.As the war against Russia enters its third year, his potential main rival, ex-president Poroshenko, also warns against holding elections in wartime.

Kellogg’s call for elections in Ukraine echoes Russian President Putin’s claim that Zelenskyy’s presidency is illegitimate and he should be replaced.
