Video: This isn’t what “free and fair” elections look like
This isn’t exactly a campaign ad. It’s a police officer injured defending the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2024, speaking about that assault on our democracy. It’s a reminder of what electing someone who craves power, and doesn’t respect limits on power, could mean for our country. Ret[...]
What, exactly, is “disqualifying”?
Trump doesn’t like Liz Cheney, or her campaigning for Kamala Harris. A few days before the 2024 election he told an Arizona rally, “She’s a radical war hawk — let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? And let’s see how she feels about it, you kn[...]
Is a woman’s vote any of her husband’s business?
By now you may have heard about the Harris wink-wink campaign ad (watch it below).

Do you recognize this car?
It’s a 2001 to 2004 Volvo S60 sedan, black or dark colored, with dark-colored upholstery. It likely has Oregon or Washington plates, to be inconspicuous. Police and the FBI want to talk with whoever was driving it past ballot drop boxes that went up in flames in the wee hours last weekend. If [...]
First case of 2024 voting fraud!
A Minnesota woman who died on August 31, 2024, voted for Trump on October 7, 2024, assisted by a daughter who’s also an avid Trump supporter. The ballot was mailed September 20, and by then Rose Marie Javorina was so stiff she couldn’t fill out it herself, so Danielle Miller did it for h[...]
Is J. D. Vance lying about Trump’s true intentions?
First of all, J. D. Vance is a proven liar. He was a front-and-center promoter of the “Haitians eat pets” conspiracy theory; and when he was force to admit it was false, he nevertheless tried to justify demonizing an entire group of innocent people as a way to score a political point. Va[...]
