2,848 counties flip to Democrats out of a total of 3,109 counties? This is the most obvious ELECTION FRAUD in history, even challenging the stolen 2020 election. We can't go on like this. I'm tired of people destroying this country and getting away with everything. (map)
The 2022-2024 43 state updated number of "New Registered Voters" registered WITHOUT proof of U.S. citizenship raises from 20,283,937... To a STAGGERING 24,662,998 new registered voters registered without proof of U.S. citizenship. Democrats coincidentally gained over 20 MILLION new voters within the same time period, while Republicans gained over a million new voters. This tells you everything you need to know.

@WallStreetApes

Here are the final results of the Midterms elections poll. 92% of voters believe it was rigged. If 92% of people don’t have faith in the system, then at the very least an audit should be done to restore faith in our voting system.

@HormuzReport

BREAKING: The U.S. has now directly started requesting China’s help to end the war with Iran, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent formally asking Beijing to use its influence with Tehran to bring the conflict to an end, per The Washington Post. The request was reportedly made with Donald Trump’s backing. The outreach opens another diplomatic channel to Tehran alongside the indirect talks led by Vice President JD Vance, who for the past two weeks has been speaking almost daily with Pakistan’s Field Marshal Asim Munir and Qatar’s prime minister about a new ceasefire and a return to nuclear negotiations.

@SteveCortes

If President Trump softens on immigration enforcement, it will be a disaster: 60 Minutes: "So you think your deportation policy went too far? President Trump: "I think it was too tough." 60 Minutes: "It was too tough?" President Trump "I think it might be too tough, yeah." (video)

Exit polls show deportations as extremely popular among Republican voters, with the Iran War being extremely unpopular. 5 days after the election, Trump gives an interview to 60 minutes stating his deportation policy is too tough. Folks - this is intentional losing.

@ConseptualJames

Their plan, which they say I'm 100% right about, is to 1) Make sure there's no viable candidates at all in 2028; 2) To ensure that the Republican Party itself is completely shattered into small, weak pieces over the 8 years starting 4 years ago; 3) To position themselves, though small, to be the biggest and strongest of those pieces in 4-6 years so that electoral necessity causes conservatives to rally around them; 4) Ensure Republican losses and DSA wins so that we have insane Democrat/Marxist abuses that radicalize us and are unbearable in the meantime; 5) Then to forward a strongman in 2032 or 2036 who ends the Constitution if it hasn't already been ended by the DSA. They might have some fantasies about ruling the country, but the real objective is to split it into pieces that hate each other...

Wow, wow and wow again… Frightening news for Texas… Tony Seruga reports that the entire state of Texas has been captured by the cartels, and that they were given the option of “Lead or Gold” which explains why Texas will now be a Sanctuary State commencing January. This includes their newly elected Senator, James Talerico, who is also on the payroll of the Narco Cartels. “Pretty much every Texas Democrat who won in the midterms is on the payroll of the cartels, from the governor to the lieutenant governor to the attorney general, Comptroller, Land Commissioner, Agriculture Commissioner, Railroad Commissioner, multiple seats on the Texas Supreme Court and Court of Criminal Appeals; they flipped the Texas House and even elected a U.S. Senator, etc.”

See, this is the problem with trying to cheat on the front end (early voting) rather than with the "3AM water main break" trick. You end up with results that look ridiculous, because you don't know how many votes you'll need ahead of time. (pic)

@TheSCIF

Texas and Oregon statistics show massive voter fraud. 2,900,357 new voters were registered without verification of U.S. citizenship in Texas from 2022 to 2024. 56.5% were considered "valid registrations" even without any verification of U.S. citizenship. Proof of U.S. citizenship is allegedly not required when registering to vote in Texas. This information can be found on page 193 in the Official Election Administration and Voting Comprehensive Report. On top of this, since 2020, Oregon's population saw an increase of 36,530, which are ALL immigrants from around the world. BUT, somehow, new registered voters in Oregon saw a gain of 263,459 voters. Which is a 700% gain. What is going on here? (pic)
What in the world is going on in Williamsburg City, Virginia? - Active voters: 11,141. - Inactive voters: 1,432. - Voters: 12,573. - Ballots cast: 14,922. - Voter turnout of 118.68%. What a joke.

@WallStreetApes

HOLY CR*P!!! How is this even possible?? All of California’s major candidate election results are the EXACT SAME percentages for Democrats and Republicans. Governor 64% (D) vs 35% (R). Lieutenant Governor 64% (D) vs 35% (R). Secretary of State 64% (D) vs 35% (R). Controller 64% (D) vs 35% (R). Treasurer 64% (D) vs 35% (R). Attorney General 64% (D) vs 35% (R). Supreme Court Justice: Joshua Groban 72% (D) vs 28% (R). Supreme Court Justice: Kelli M. Evans 72% (D) vs 28% (R). These don’t look like real election results, they look like a computer algorithm. Our elections are fake.

BREAKING: Iraq has activated nuclear emergency response plans and border radiation monitoring systems along its border with Iran ahead of possible US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, per Shafaq, citing a statement from Iraq's nuclear regulator. It comes as Iraq has restricted its airspace for expected combat operations from November 7 to 11.

Yes. They expect you to shut up & let them get away with it. They are counting on people being to afraid, or too weak or too cowardly to say/do anything or demand the truth. At the same time they will bury the evidence, the media will play their part, so will the political leaders who are already preparing to dump it all in Trump & crush his base & the American people will once again get screwed, but this time it will never end because they have captured the election system.

BREAKING: Iran announces it has now lifted its self-imposed 2,000 kilometre range limit on ballistic missiles, bringing targets in Europe and remote US military bases in reach. "This restriction has been lifted for us," IRGC spokesman Mohebbi said, adding that "Today, any point from which we feel a serious threat to the country can be our target." It follows an order from Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, who told commanders to prepare an "immediate and geographically unrestricted response to any threat" and to demonstrate the capability in practice rather than make statements.

BREAKING: GINA HINOJOSA ISSUES ELON MUSK WITH AN ULTIMATUM OVER TESLA’S OPERATIONS IN TEXAS. Texas Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa has announced plans to introduce significantly higher tax rates targeting Elon Musk’s companies operating in Texas, insisting that Tesla must comply with the state’s new tax requirements or reconsider its continued manufacturing operations in the state. Under the proposed terms, Tesla would be required to pay the increased tax rate to maintain its production operations, including Cybertruck manufacturing at its Texas Gigafactory, or face the possibility of having production halted. The development would mark a significant escalation in the political and business tensions surrounding Musk’s relationship with Texas’ incoming Democratic leadership.
BREAKING: ELON MUSK FINALLY RESPONDS AFTER GINA HINOJOSA THREATENED TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST HIS TESLA OPERATIONS IN TEXAS. “Gina is nothing more than a puppet of Barack Obama and Kamala Harris. Democratic Party power brokers put her in that position to advance their own political interests. But here’s the reality: they need me far more than I need them. If they don’t want me in Texas, I’m prepared to pack up and relocate to Florida without hesitation. I can already see what she’s planning. She will attempt to interfere with Cybertruck manufacturing by hiding behind increased taxation, but everyone understands the real motivation. Her political allies in the deep state want to punish me for standing behind Donald Trump during the election. This confrontation goes beyond my businesses. Their real objective is Trump, and they believe targeting me is another way to get to him. What they seem to have forgotten is that the President still possesses veto powers. I’m certainly not intimidated by Gina Hinojosa. Whenever she makes these threats, I simply find them amusing. Any reckless decision she makes will ultimately damage Texas, its economy and its residents much more than it will affect my companies. Let’s see whether Gina genuinely intends to protect the interests of Texans or whether she is willing to undermine everything the state has accomplished simply because of political hostility.” (video)

“If you wanted to end the nationalist movement in the United States, one of the first things you would do is take out TPUSA, which was a counterbalance to the Neocons, and take out Charlie. Then just expel anybody who remembered what you ran on a year ago, like Massie or Marjorie Taylor Greene, and then you would do this. You would have election results that basically make it impossible to ever have immigration restrictionism or an American-centered foreign policy.” - Tucker Carlson. (video)

@TruthAnswersAll

KANSAS: THE 15% GAP, COUNTY BY COUNTY. The 15% gap held across the Senate map. Here’s Kansas, all 105 counties. 94% of counties fell within range: 99 of the 105. Below the formula: Seward, Ford, Finney. Meatpacking counties in southwest Kansas. Above the formula: Wallace, Sheridan, Jewell. Three of the reddest ranch counties in the state, about 90% Trump. What the formula tells us: If a county is below the formula, the proportion of Democrats to Republicans who voted was higher than in 2024. If it’s above the formula, the proportion of Republicans to Democrats was higher than in 2024. Why this matters: This isn’t a statewide average hiding the normal county to county variation underneath. The same 15% shows up in counties with hundreds of voters and counties with hundreds of thousands of voters. The few that break from it break in predictable directions. One rule works at the state level and the county level. That’s not what scattered voter decisions usually look like.

This says it all. This is third-world voting. Forty-three states do not require you to show or attach an ID or any other eligibility documents to complete a standard new voter registration form.

VAERS US COVID Vaccine Adverse Event Reports. 1,035,094 Reports (+1,111 from prior report) Through September 25th, 2026.

SKirsch.com:

Using the MGH numbers with our own VAERS queries, we have 247 cases per million doses from the MGH study divided by 5.97 cases per million doses from VAERS. 247/5.97 = 41. This suggests that the VAERS under-reporting factor (URF) is 41X.
