Only ONE reason for doing this!-----ActBlue Co-Founder Pleads Fifth in House Investigation Into Foreign Donations - AG News Staff

An April 2025 report from the committees alleged that ActBlue employees knew “both foreign and domestic fraudulent actors are exploiting the platform” but failed to adequately address the threat.

Chairman Bryan Steil, R-Wis., questioned why the platform had not required donors to provide credit card verification value, or CVV, numbers, a common security measure for online transactions...

• “They have a right to not answer our questions, but I think the American people also have a right to know exactly what’s taking place on this platform that has raised roughly $20 billion for Democratic candidates and liberal causes since its creation,” he said.

We’re Teaching Kids Scarcity in an Age of Abundance

Students shouldn't be left to form a worldview based on TikTok videos. - Nathan Harden

Students head back to classrooms this month. 

Many arrive already convinced their future is hopeless.

• In a Lancet Planetary Health study of 10,000 young people across ten countries, 75 percent said the future is frightening, and 56 percent said they believe humanity is doomed. 
• A 2025 PNAS study found one in five Americans aged 16 to 24 is afraid to have children because of the climate. That gloom has deepened over time. 
• In Yale’s long-running survey, the share of Americans 18 to 34 who say global warming is already harming this country rose from 40 percent in 2012 to 64 percent in 2022.

From 1.8 Million to Zero: Kash Patel, FBI Deliver a Monumental Win After Biden-Era Mess on DNA - Ben Smith

FBI Director Kash Patel announced Friday that the bureau has cleared a DNA processing backlog that once held nearly 2 million samples, ending a pileup that kept potentially useful profiles out of the national system used to help solve violent crimes.

• Patel said the backlog stood at 1.81 million samples on Aug. 1, 2024. 
• It is now zero, according to the director, after the FBI Laboratory Division added equipment, shifted resources, improved its information technology systems and changed how it tracked the work...

They're lying (half-truth is a lie!) to all of us!-----Science by press release: Moderna cashes in on mRNA cancer vaccine without publishing trial results.

"These corporations have learned how to play the medical-scientific establishment like a Stradivarius," - Greg Piper

When the Food and Drug Administration approved Moderna's mRNA flu vaccine, the first ever, two weeks ago, the pharmaceutical company that reaped billions from federal taxpayers with its mRNA COVID-19 vaccine didn't wait for the agency to even publicly post the approval. 

• Moderna rushed out the news at 10 p.m., with a 4% increase in its share price the next morning...
• What Moderna left out of the release Wednesday, and the media ignored: the mRNA flu jab's disproportionately high rate of serious adverse events compared to a normal flu shot – the same problem with its Omicron-specific COVID vaccine three years ago – and the number of jabs required to prevent a single hospitalization, 5,000...

The Eternal Leftist Quest for Free Stuff

How does any American with a half-decent IQ end up supporting a socialist government run by socialist leaders pushing socialist ideals — that will soon wreak havoc?

Based on a survey conducted by the Pew Research Center, one-third of Democrats view Democratic Socialists of America leaders favorably...

• We've already witnessed that Zohran Mamdani in New York, Katie Wilson in Seattle, and others are running into huge problems. 
• And their respective bases of wealthy citizens, including entrepreneurs and corporate leaders, are moving out...
• Abolishing the police, ICE, and the U.S. Senate, and imposing rent controls can only lead to stagnation, crime, and failure. 

Yet the dupes succumb.

Schweizer: Birth Tourism and Fake Weddings -- How China Buys American Citizenship | Video | RealClearPolitics

Birth tourists. Sham marriages. Fake Mexicans. And a Chinese “honeypot” named Fang Fang.  - RCP Video

• “Let's be clear what the attorney general of California's defending. He's not defending people who come across the border, live here, have kids, have jobs, and are part of communities. 
• He's defending women who fly here pregnant and give birth with the express purpose of getting citizenship for their kids,” Schweizer says. 
• “They fly that child home days later, raise them in another country, primarily in China.”

When a reader clicks a link on a small creator's site and buys a product, that creator earns a modest commission. Digital tracking hijacking destroys that fair, free-market exchange. Software can secretly inject a tracking code into the customer's browser at checkout, as Phia is alleged to have done, overwriting the original creator's referral tag and snatching the payout. It functions as an invisible pickpocket standing at the store register, snatching commission payments right out of the hands of hardworking men and women.

Stop believing there has been "no vote fraud"!-----Clerk Calls On DOJ To Help Get Non-Citizens Off His Voter Rolls After Sec of State Whistleblower Claims MI SOS Benson is Automatically Registering Them To Vote

This evening, Hastings Charter Township Clerk David Olson released a video of himself pleading with the feds to get involved in Michigan’s elections, specifically to help him identify and remove non-citizens from his voter rolls. - by Patty McMurray
Here’s a quick summary of Sheriff Dar Leaf explaining how non-citizens are allegedly automatically registered to vote and how difficult it is to detect and remove them:

• A confidential informant who works for the Michigan Secretary of State’s office told him that non-citizens are automatically registered to vote when they change their address.
• • The customer and automotive records system is programmed to congratulate and inform those non-citizens that they have been registered to vote...
•  Once on the rolls, the person can request a mail-in ballot or vote in person with an ID card; polling places do not verify citizenship...

You wonder why it's so hard to provide "absolute proof" our election system is easy to cheat??!!-----James O’Keefe Offered Senator Lisa Murkowski’s Brother’s Ballot at Anchorage Polling Station with No ID Required! - Cristina Laila

Murkowski Calls For O’Keefe to be Prosecuted!
James O’Keefe on Thursday released undercover video of an Anchorage, Alaska, poll worker offering him Senator Lisa Murkowski’s brother’s ballot.

• Recall that RINO Murkowski was one of the Senators who opposed the SAVE America Act which would require voter ID.

An Anchorage poll worker also offered Lisa Murkowski’s State Director, Karina Waller’s ballot without an ID on Tuesday’s primary.

“I did not check in as Brian Murkowski, cast a ballot, or sign his name. We documented what happened when I gave his name, said I had no ID, and asked whether Brian could still vote,” James O’Keefe said.
“Would it be possible to vote without it [ID]?” O’Keefe asked the poll worker.
“Absolutely possible!” the poll worker said.
