The violence and size of the anti-ICE riots in Minnesota took federal officials by surprise. But maybe they shouldn’t be shocked. As it turns out, and as is often the case when it comes to far-left demonstrations, outside money, organizations and foreign influence are firing the revolt.
As Deputy U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche this week told “The Ingraham Angle,” investigators discovered a “massive fraud going on all through Minneapolis, all through Minnesota, and suddenly it turned. It turned almost on a dime, and it became suddenly all about ICE, all about getting ICE out and how horrible ICE was doing,”
Yes, the Minnesota “uprising” as some call it bears all the signs of strategic planning and financing guiding the local demonstrators. It’s not spontaneous.
Last Friday’s “ICE-Out” demonstration that drew 15,000 is a clear example.
“Anti-ICE protests in Minnesota may appear to be ‘grassroots’ efforts organized by concerned citizens, but they’re really funded with megadonor money — some coming from China,” the New York Post reported.
While the violent protests were organized by a group called “50501,” they’ve been backed by the militant “Party for Socialism and Liberation” and “The People’s Forum,” two groups “largely subsidized by American former tech mogul Neville Roy Singham.”
And who is Singham? He’s a much-investigated current resident of Shanghai who shares an office with a Chinese Communist Party-linked media firm.
Citing a 2023 New York Times investigation of Singham, Fox News notes “that Singham has funneled over a quarter-billion dollars to dark money organizations in the U.S. with little to no footprints, and some of these organizations are vaguely named with office addresses under suspicious locations like general UPS mailboxes.”
As the Times investigation said, “What is less known, and is hidden amid a tangle of nonprofit groups and shell companies, is that Mr. Singham works closely with the Chinese government media machine and is financing its propaganda worldwide.”
Those Minnesota riots, once described by some as “spontaneous,” look more and more like a backdoor attempt by China, allied with extreme groups in the U.S., to foment violence and outright rebellion.
Last week, FBI head Kash Patel hinted at this, saying “We’ve got … investigations ongoing into the funding of this,” adding that the violent demonstrations, which now include roadblocks and “borders” in parts of Minneapolis, are not taking place “organically.”
None of this is an accident, of course. The demonstrations took off just as massive fraud within the Somali refugee began to be seriously investigated. That includes those in and out of Minnesota’s state and local government who either ignored it or abetted it.
Right now, the groups pushing and financing the demonstrations whipped up public anger over the January shooting deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti at the hands of federal agents. Both incidents are being investigated.
But the more we know, the clearer this becomes. This is the far-left playbook: Inciting people to obstruct federal agents performing legitimate enforcement duties, because local politicians — that’s you, Gov. Tim Walz, and you, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey — have refused to aid ICE in doing its duty.
By inflaming opposition, and opening their state to a foreign-funded insurrection using American leftist groups as their foot-soldiers, they’ve abetted what appears to be a massive conspiracy to undermine a U.S. president’s clear right to enforce U.S. law.
And China’s involvement is a major issue. It’s been failing in the Western Hemisphere of late, with the election of five conservative new leaders and the loss of the Panama Canal. The arrest of Nicolas Maduro also stung. Imagine how upset China (not to mention, Russia) will be when Cuba’s murderous regime collapses, too.
This is a dangerous time in America. Blue states, and the increasingly lawless cities that define them, have turned into a sort of leftist neo-Confederacy, believing they can nullify American law at will. Minnesota’s Walz even had the temerity to mention Fort Sumter in a recent speech.
But the usual billionaire leftists who fund radical dissent — including George Soros and son — have company: China. And anyone who thinks Walz, an ardent Sinophile who claims to have visited the Middle Kingdom “dozens” of times, wouldn’t welcome Chinese money to counter President Donald Trump and ICE isn’t thinking straight.
China might be losing in Latin America, but it’s apparently winning here by financial subterfuge. The investigation is ongoing.
Earlier this week, Trump spoke with China’s Xi Jinping, who’s busy himself these days arresting potential rivals in the military. We hope that, in addition to talking about other things, Trump had a chance to tell Xi: Stop supporting U.S. leftist riots, or you’ll pay in ways you can’t imagine.
Senator Chuck Schumer and Congressman Hakeem Jeffries may call it common-sense solutions, but I would call their list of 40 demands for amnesty-like attacks on Immigration and Customs Enforcement, nothing less than abolishing ICE altogether, and returning to President Biden’s catastrophic open-borders policy is their not-so-hidden agenda.
If you go through their list, you can see that they are siding once again with the far-left wing of the Democratic party that wants to abolish, defund, and damage ICE.
They can’t defund it cause it’s already funded from the One, Big, Beautiful, Bill, with roughly $75 billion, but then again the Democrats would love to undo the one BBB, and slap a $5 trillion tax hike on American families and businesses, along with defunding and abolishing ICE.
Well they’re not gonna get any of it. If they want to shut the government down again, they’re still not gonna get any of it.
Republicans in Congress and President Trump are not gonna allow any of it. Not the tax hikes, not ending ICE, not opening the border.
Here’s the Senate majority leader, John Thune, putting his foot down to stop all of this Democratic nonsense:
“Democrats have to be willing to actually reach an agreement if they’re coming to the table demanding a blank check or refusing to consider any measures but their own. They’re likely to end up with nothing, which is fine if Democrats just want a political issue.”
In fact, Senator Lindsey Graham has a much better idea, he wants to not just defund sanctuary cities, but abolish them. Because sanctuary cities have become the root cause of violence and shootings.
Even in blue cities, police have said they are more than happy to cooperate with ICE, and release criminal illegals to ICE agents inside the prison. That keeps the illegals off the streets and removes the need for large scale ICE sweeps.
Yet this is way too sensible for Democrats who want to defend sanctuary cities and attack ICE, and go back to some cockeyed amnesty that will wind up returning to the disastrous policy of open borders.
Some of these Democratic ideas in case you haven’t read them: no masks for ICE officers and they should wear ID tags. This just leads to exactly what the anti-ICE protesters want.
It also endangers the ICE agents and their families, and if nothing else, helps to dox them.
The Democrats also want to bar ICE arrests without a judge’s warrant, which of course just slows down the whole process of removing dangerous criminals, and in so many cases, left-wing prosecutors will go judge shopping in order to stop ICE from doing its job by finding left-wing judges.
Then Democrats say ICE should not be allowed to arrest migrants in certain sensitive locations, quote on quote, which just expands sanctuary cities, and on top of that, the Schumer demands would attach all kinds of race and ancestry criteria for rounding up criminals, and then even give local police jurisdiction over the federal ICE agents, which local police don’t want.
Yet this is a wondrous idea since the federal ICE agents and federal laws supersede local laws. Really sanctuary cities don’t legally exist outside of the blue states and localities, because they violate federal laws.
The Democrats’ 40-plus demands are bundled into 10 bullet points, and virtually prevent any kind of deal to fund the remaining unfunded parts of DHS, like FEMA or TSA or the Secret Service.
For once, it is surely the Democrats who are truly the stupid party, and they are going to lose this battle big time, because the country won’t tolerate open borders, or rampant crime from illegals.
Larry Kudlow is a columnist for the New York Sun. From Mr. Kudlow’s broadcast on Fox Business Network
My childhood memories always include thoughts of my father. Right up until he passed away, he was active and alert; cutting the grass weekly, keeping-up the house and even expertly managing his computer. When clients ask me for tips about aging gracefully, all I have to do is think of him.
That notwithstanding, I suspect that I’m not yet old enough to be an expert on aging. But I can share the experiences of people I regularly encounter who manage to age gracefully.
One man in his mid-eighties told me, “I try to be out of the house by noon every day. I don’t care whether it’s a get-together or simply to go to the store. I get out either way.” This man lost his wife when he was in his seventies, but despite the loss, he found a way to cope by employing this wise strategy.
A friend whose 100th birthday party I attended told me that the secret to successful aging is, “all in the head.” In other words, you have to keep using your mind. She reads, visits museums, cultivates her tulips and is always ready to engage in active discussion on any subject. She has read all three of my books and we have fascinating talks about them. Her points of view, gleaned over a century, have gifted me with valuable insight into human nature. She stays interested in life, and life pays her back with better physical and mental health than she might otherwise experience.
At 94, my mother told me, “You’re as old as you feel.” Right up until she passed away (at 99!), she aged elegantly and attributed it to NOT thinking like an old person. I’ve noticed that people who age well do everything possible to maintain their posture and to walk with as much confidence as they can. By acting and thinking young, they feel younger.
On the opposite side are those who shuffle along, drive or perform other activities far slower or far more cautiously than is actually necessary, as if they might somehow break or fall apart. I was always amused when my energetic 100-year-old-friend accused her peers of that very thing!
Of course, some people age better because they’re less susceptible to certain ailments and diseases. Yet, how you manage things emotionally counts for more than most of us realize. Mental health professionals who work with cancer patients have told me that recovery, or at least longevity, is more likely in people with happy, realistic attitudes than in people who engage in denial and self-pity. Of course we can’t just wish away negative things, but at the same time a good outlook is easier on the body than a negative one — no matter what the medical situation.
A major factor in aging successfully is how one handles the loss of a spouse. People who experience widowhood fare better if they work to accept the loss while, quite understandably, still grieving it. It’s absolutely normal to grieve — indeed, in some measure, for the rest of your life. But at the same time, you have to develop acceptance. If you can’t learn to accept, then you’ll never allow yourself the opportunity to experience the other things that life still has to offer. This applies to people of every age, since we’re all subject to loss at any time.
Healthy and happy elderly people have told me, “There’s never an excuse for being bored, no matter how old you are.” It makes sense! In my book, “Bad Therapy, Good Therapy And How to Tell the Difference” (available exclusively at DrHurd.com, by the way), I coined the phrase “psychological entrepreneurism” in which negative developments, while still acknowledged as negative, are turned into opportunities and new experiences.
These are just a few of the things that older people happily will tell you. Take it from them, not from me. Seniors who thrive with a positive point of view are the most interesting and admirable psychological entrepreneurs. We can learn so much from them.
According to a Gallup Organization survey, 20% of Americans believe that it is possible to communicate with the dead. Films such as “Bless the Child” and “Sixth Sense,” along with TV shows peddling self-proclaimed mediums like John Edward, continue to feed an apparent need for otherworldly communication.
Book after book has been written about the authenticity – or lack thereof – associated with those who claim to predict the future and communicate with the dead. It is not my intention to add to that collection of dubious “scientific” study, but as a cognitive psychotherapist, my question is this: What need does this fascination with mysticism serve? Why do otherwise levelheaded people flock to psychics, mediums and the like? What are we looking for that is so superior to reality? As the likes of John Edward artfully cultivates his faux persona of clairvoyance for the TV cameras, there is no doubting the outbursts of genuine emotion from the audience. Right or wrong, true or untrue, there is a need being served here.
Human beings want explanations. Science does not provide us with everything — at least not all at once. Consequently, it can be tempting to look for answers beyond the realm of reason and reality. Of course, what greets you there is nothing more than wishful thinking, but fantasy still holds great emotional appeal in an uncertain world.
Adults who grew up in abusive environments often tell me, “I escaped by retreating into fantasy.” Indeed, fantasy can actually keep a young person sane through the psychological (and sometimes physical) warfare taking place in the household. Of course, not everyone grows up like that, but I think this offers a clue to the appeal of the paranormal: Life can occasionally be puzzling and stressful, and it can be exciting to seek comfort outside the real world. As an old friend of mine once put it, “It’s fine to face reality and confront your fears, but what happens when reality bites?”
Here’s where you run into the difference between healthy and unhealthy attitudes. When reality bites, the healthy person with self-esteem thinks, “What can I do to make it better?” The answer might not be immediate, but that person trusts his or her mind to figure things out without resorting to fantasy and make-believe.
A person who finds it difficult to summon up this kind of strength will say, “I just can’t take it. I need out.” In rare cases this could result in suicide or drug/alcohol addiction, but these are the exceptions. Some will immerse themselves in their work. Still others turn to the paranormal.
The mystical can be fascinating. It addresses questions that most of us don’t think about in daily life. What happens after we die? Is there reincarnation? Can I communicate with lost loved ones? Of course, when all is said and done, there is no hard evidence of any of this. But for many, the appeal lies in escaping the rigors of daily life by venturing to the other side where, for a blissful little while, you can make up the rules yourself.
Unhappy or over-stressed people will think, “Why did this happen to me?” The thought can be in response to tragedy or nothing more than a frustrating day. A cognitive therapist can offer no answer other than, “This is just how it is. Don’t try to read meaning into it. Some things are just what they are.” The challenge is to figure out how to cope. Explanations are certainly valuable, but solutions are more important.
Trying to dig up explanations for the not-yet-explained or the merely coincidental might make for a happy escape, but it accomplishes nothing in the end.
Celebrated singer and songwriter Stevie Wonder said it best in his hit song “Superstition”: “When you believe in things you don’t understand, then you suffer, superstition ain’t the way!”
Steve Bannon was imprisoned for contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a subpoena. Will Bill and Hillary Clinton be imprisoned for the same offense? Not a chance. Why the inconsistency? If the law only applies to certain people, and if the law is applied selectively based on whether you have connections or are a member of the Party — then do we even have a law?
We have hundreds, if not thousands, of examples of this kind.
The theme is always the same: If you are a leftist, a Democrat, a RINO, or otherwise have the right connections, there is no law. The laws apply only to the little people, the people without connections and whether they are guilty, or not. Our government, even with a commendable President (for the moment), has lost all legitimacy. We are truly on our own. It’s not an opinion; it’s a fact. It’s not going to end well.
Case in point: U.S. Senator Elissa Slotkin on Thursday said she won’t sit for an interview requested as part of an inquiry by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Justice over a video she taped with five other Democrats urging U.S. troops to resist “illegal orders” from the Trump administration.
Does this mean the next time a Democrat Congress orders someone to testify or the next time a Democrat President demands an arrest that nobody has to comply? Because if leftists get to obey laws selectively, so do the rest of us. After all, we are now in a civil war.
You have the type of immigrant who comes to a free country, a place with no guarantees, no handouts, no special favors, a place where you are required to make it on your own. Any charity you receive is minimal, temporary and voluntary on the part of the giver.
Then you have the kind of immigrant who comes to a country where you are immediately handed free schools, free medical care, free housing, no demand to change your language or customs, easy loans, free cell phones, free food stamps, welfare, and all of this even before becoming a citizen — so you pay no taxes.
It’s not the same kind of immigrant.

The Democrats — all of them — are essentially saying, re: ICE: “The law is what we say it is. If ICE is acting consistent with the law, and if we don’t like those laws — then ICE is acting illegally. We will prosecute them for their crimes.” But ICE is upholding the law, and President Trump is doing exactly what he promised to do if elected in 2024 — and he was decisively elected. If Democrats now believe that the law is only what they say it is, then they should say so — they should acknowledge that they consider themselves the rulers in a dictatorship where there’s only one Party in charge, as in Communist China, Venezuela, Cuba, or past regimes such as Stalin’s Russia or Hitler’s Germany.
Democrats don’t get to have it both ways — in the media, maybe, but not in terms of OBJECTIVE reality. When Biden was in office, everything he did — even forced medical treatments and censorship of social media — was deemed valid because he was allegedly an elected President. But now when Trump does things that ARE within the Constitution and the law, and he was elected to do those things — why, those things are illegal. Nobody would make such a claim unless they already consider themselves the ruling dictator of a nation.
Warnings that London secondary schools may soon be forced to close due to falling pupil numbers are the latest visible consequence of a much deeper demographic problem. While policymakers routinely point to housing costs, economic insecurity, and delayed parenthood, one central factor remains persistently under-examined: the long-term impact of abortion on Britain’s birth rate.
London Councils have warned that demand for Year 7 places is now falling faster than demand for Reception places for the first time on record. Over the next four years, pupil numbers entering secondary schools in the capital are expected to drop by almost four percent, with inner London facing even sharper declines. Because schools are funded per pupil, the result is likely to be mergers, closures, staff reductions, and a narrowing of curriculum options.
This is not a sudden crisis. The UK’s Total Fertility Rate has been below the replacement level of 2.1 since 1973. What is new is the speed at which the consequences are now becoming unavoidable. In 2023, excluding the coronavirus anomaly, deaths outnumbered births for the first time in decades. Immigration has masked this decline for years, but it has not solved it.
Crucially, the conversation around falling fertility almost never addresses abortion, despite the data being unambiguous. Office for National Statistics figures show that the gap between the number of live births required for population replacement and the number actually occurring has, for much of the past fifty years, been smaller than the number of abortions carried out annually.
In 2023, around 30 percent of all viable pregnancies in the UK ended in abortion; this figure is higher in London. Ten years ago, the figure was closer to 20 percent. Today, for every twenty viable pregnancies, fourteen result in live births and six in abortion.
This reality matters when considering school closures. Children who are never born do not fill classrooms, sustain local services, or become the future workforce needed to support an ageing population. When schools close, communities hollow out. When communities hollow out, families are less likely to form. The cycle accelerates.
SPUC’s Executive Director, Michael Robinson, says, “If the closure of schools is treated merely as a funding or planning problem, the response will be utterly benign. It is the visible end point of decades of decisions that have devalued childbirth, normalised abortion, and treated population decline as a net benefit for the world. London’s empty classrooms should be a wake-up call. A society that does not welcome children will eventually reap the consequences: wrecked economies and communities. Abortion is the greatest destroyer of societal harmony and prosperity.”
While Washington searches for ways to weaken Iran’s murderous rulers, our supposed NATO ally Turkey is working overtime to keep the mullahs alive — and in power.
This week’s diplomatic tug-of-war over US-Iran negotiations is a win for Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey’s Islamist strongman, who has led a cynical campaign to stall for time and block US and Israeli military action against the Islamic Republic after its brutal crackdown on civilian protesters.
He’s feigning concern that military action would spark “regional instability,” but his real goal is simple: Keep Iran’s theocracy from falling — and stop the emergence of a free, democratic state that would shatter his regional ambitions.
Along with Qatar and Egypt, Erdogan has reportedly proposed to both sides a three-year “deal” under which Iran would agree to limit its uranium enrichment, restrict its use of ballistic missiles and pause arms shipments to its regional allies
It would do nothing to relieve the suffering of Iran’s people.
And it would ensure the regime’s stability — allowing it to outlast President Donald Trump’s remaining time in office.
It’s a smokescreen, and Trump must not fall for it.
The president’s negotiating team should be clear-eyed: Ankara’s priority is not peace, but regime survival.
For Erdogan, a crippled Islamist regime in Tehran is far more useful than a democratic one that might align with the West.
Why? Because Iran’s terror empire benefits him.
By keeping Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza armed and operational, Tehran helps Erdogan weaken Israel — a strategic obsession for the Turkish leader.
A constantly threatened Israel allows Erdogan to posture as the Middle East’s next great power broker, claiming leadership while chaos reigns.
That’s why, as US naval and air assets assemble across the region, Tehran is clinging to Ankara’s overtures — seking negotiations to avoid a final reckoning.
Europe has labeled Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards a terrorist organization for murdering thousands of peaceful protesters.
Erdogan, however, praised Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian for his government’s “handling” of the unrest — effectively endorsing Tehran’s claim that the demonstrations were “terrorist attacks . . . clearly directed by Israeli-linked elements.”
In doing so, Erdogan is openly empowering an enemy of the United States.
This is why Turkey rushed to offer itself as host for the talks planned for Friday: not to mediate, but to block Washington from acting.

This is why Turkey rushed to offer itself as host for the talks planned for Friday: not to mediate, but to block Washington from acting.
The summit has been moved to Oman at Iran’s request — but that has not slowed Ankara’s eagerness to shield the regime.
If the talks proceed, US negotiators should be on guard.
Turkey may offer to take custody of part of Iran’s highly enriched uranium for “safekeeping” — a proposal recently floated by Ankara.
Erdogan would push this idea as a means of “conflict prevention,” but there’s no reason to believe weapons-grade uranium would be safer in Turkey’s hands than in Iran’s.
Ankara is not a benevolent ally advancing US interests, but a strategic saboteur.
If Turkey gets its way, the summit in Oman will lead to continued delays in bringing down Tehran’s regime.
Erdogan in recent days has been prepping the ground, encouraging the leaders of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Pakistan and Qatar to insist on further rounds of “diplomatic efforts.”
In doing so, Ankara not only emboldens Iran’s despots, but constructs a collective regional effort to abandon Iran’s people — who are crying out for the chance to bring down the regime and remake Iran as a democratic ally of America and the West.
For Erdogan, preserving a weakened Islamic Republic serves one overriding purpose: blocking the emergence of a US–Israeli security order that would sideline Turkey’s ambitions.
Since late 2024, Iran’s regional position has collapsed — following Assad’s fall in Syria, the dismantling of its proxy networks, and a humiliating 12-day confrontation with Israel.
A decisive American-Israeli strike that removes Iran’s leadership would accelerate this shift — and leave Erdogan isolated in a radically new Middle East.
But a wounded regime allows Turkey to expand its influence while Israel remains consumed by Iran’s terror web.
It’s why Erdogan continues to tolerate — and at times enable — Hamas and Hezbollah as instruments to keep the Jewish state trapped in permanent crisis.
The Left is beginning to panic about Tulsi Gabbard’s investigation into the massive election fraud in 2020.
They have good reason to. For the first time since then, I actually have hope that the fraud will be exposed for all to see. I would say that the evidence produced will be undeniable, but the left will always deny what they find inconvenient.
Just 2 months ago, Fulton County acknowledged that 315,000 ballots from the 2020 election weren’t properly certified.
A mere 11,779 votes determined the winner in Georgia.
But still, by the time Gabbard is done, a lot more people will believe what has been pretty obvious for a long time: that the election was not simply rigged by illegal rule changes and a massive effort to manipulate the process to produce an absolutely unprecedented number of votes (does anybody really believe that Joe Biden was so much more popular than Barack Obama that he got nearly 10% more votes than he without manipulating the process? Really?!), but outright stolen.
When the Justice Department Sued For the 2020 Fulton County Ballots It Was A “Big Shell Game” Over Who Had The Ballots Says The Head Of The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division.
Rigging the election is different than stealing it, although the two are so closely adjacent that it is difficult to see the difference. By “rigging” I mean stretching or breaking the law to change voting processes, usually with the excuse that COVID required extraordinary and illegal measures be taken to ensure that people could safely vote. In addition, Pravda upped the volume of the hoaxes, spent inordinate amounts of effort to attack Trump and hide Biden’s infirmity, and the establishment poured Zuckerbucks into Secretaries of State around the country to take control over the voting process.
“The most secure election in American history” was a lie.
By stealing, I mean actually altering vote totals to ensure Biden would win. And Tulsi Gabbard is about to prove that the latter happened. I am certain of it.

NEW: FBI executes search warrant on Fulton County Election Center, seizing contentious 2020 election ballots
For six years, the public has still not been allowed to inspect 145,000 ballots that six sworn affidavits say were counterfeit.
A judge ordered these ballots inspected years ago. Fulton County refused.
Excerpts from witness affidavits include:
Susan Voyles, 20-year election official:
“Pristine” ballots “difference in the texture of the paper” with “a different feel” and “no markings” and approximately “98% for Joe Biden.”
Georgia Democrat observer:
“Hundreds of ballots with no folds or creases. Perfect black bubbles. All for Biden.”
Another Georgia Democrat:
“All had perfect black bubbles and were all Biden. I heard ‘Biden’ over 500 times in a row.”
@VoterGa has been fighting in court for six years just to inspect these ballots.
Why was Fulton County so determined to keep them hidden?
The FBI raid in Fulton County is one of the key pieces of evidence. Despite the claims that the 2020 election was extensively audited and litigated, the opposite is the case.
Massive scandal:
Fulton County admits they “violated” the rules in 2020 when they certified ≈315K early votes that lacked poll workers’ signatures
“We don’t dispute the allegation.”
The SOS also found FC “violated Official Election… Processes”
The belief that this is so is almost entirely based on a propaganda campaign that equates dismissed lawsuits with actual litigation and examination. In almost no cases were actual ballots examined, and in many cases the evidence was locked away. Fulton County has gone to extraordinary lengths to hide ballots, and even tried to destroy them well before they legally could.

UNBELIEVEABLE! Fulton County (GA) clerk requested permission from a judge to DESTROY all of the 2020 election ballots and records that were still under protection with a court order. They literally attempted to persuade a judge to destroy evidence to cover up their crimes. The clerk’s excuse was that the 2020 election ballots and records took up too much space in the election warehouse.
The election warehouse itself was bigger than a Home Depot. The truth is that this was their legal chance, with permission from a judge, to destroy the evidence and cover up the stolen 2020 election and get away with it.
In the end, the judge ruled that the 2020 election ballots and election records can NOT be destroyed. We wouldn’t have found any 2020 election ballots and records in the Fulton County FBI raid if this judge would have ruled any differently.
Fulton County has already had to admit that it counted hundreds of thousands of votes in an illegal manner, and basically said, “oops.” They certified election counts without ensuring the most basic legal standards were met, and there is lots of evidence that illegal ballots were counted.
This is Fulton County, Georgia

“That indicates electronic manipulation — what we found is that the manipulation occurred up to several hours, even days later. That’s not supposed to happen.”
President Trump “lost” Georgia by 11,779 votes.
I’m not going to go through all the deficiencies here because that is not my point. I have been convinced for years that the election was stolen, but I have despaired that proof would ever be provided that could possibly convince many more people. People’s minds have been made up, and it will take incontrovertible evidence to change anybody’s mind.

I believe that Gabbard is on the verge of providing that proof, which is why there is a massive campaign to discredit her. Not only are their hoaxes being concocted against her, but the media is now arguing that she shouldn’t be investigating because there is no evidence of foreign interference in our elections.

Reporter: “Is there any indication that there’s foreign influence?”
Leavitt: “It’s the media who has said that there’s Russian interference in American elections. You guys have been saying that for many, many years. The people in this room, considering that you all said for many years that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Donald Trump, you should all be VERY happy that we finally have an administration that is looking into that, and we’ll be happy to keep you posted!”
FFS. How many years have we been subjected to propaganding insisting the opposite?
Fulton County, which not so long ago wanted to destroy the ballots, is now fighting like mad to get them back from the feds.
Someday, hundreds of books will be written about how this election was stolen, and Gabbard’s investigation will likely feature prominently in those books.
No matter what evidence is provided, Democrats will insist that it was cooked up, and most Democrats will believe them. But there will also be millions of people shocked into realizing that they have been lied to, just as happened after the Biden collapse in the presidential debates.
Leftist protester types sometimes ask, “Why do I have to live on the same planet as Trump supporters?”
I find myself asking why I have to live on the same planet as people with this mentality. And how long can human civilization survive, with this mentality on the rise?
See the following. And trigger warning: It’s undiluted evil.
