Shadow Leftist Organization Is Accused of Committing Large Scale Democrat Voter Fraud in Michigan
A shadow leftist group is committing large-scale voter fraud in Michigan.
The far-left group “The Voter Project Michigan” is sending blank absentee ballot applications to tens of thousands of Michigan voters who did not request them in the mail.
Along with the Michigan ballot application, the recipients receive a message from soulless Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and a letter promoting Democrat causes.
The suspicious far-left group, Voter Project Michigan, does not have a website.

John Kerry Says The Quiet Part Out Loud: "First Amendment Stands As Major Block" To "Govern"
The World Economic Forum held its 'Sustainable Development Impact Meetings' during last week's United Nations General Assembly in New York City. Speaking at the meeting, far-left elitist and former presidential climate envoy John Kerry expressed frustration to fellow globalists, stating that the First Amendment frequently obstructs their agenda.
"Our First Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to hammer [disinformation] out of existence. What we need is to win...the right to govern by hopefully winning enough votes that you're free to be able to implement change," Kerry said.
Kerry noted, "It's very hard to govern today."

British Couple Fined £3,000 After Reporting Migrant They Found in the Back of Their Van
Originally published via Armageddon Prose:
In the Year of Our Lord 2024, according to the British governing authorities, if, as a British citizen (a white supremacist terrorist, in other words), you discover on your way home from France a “migrant” who has stashed himself in your automobile, then report the incident to the cops, you find yourself liable for “bringing in a clandestine immigrant.”
“A couple are calling unfair a £3,000 fine they received after informing police they had found a migrant hiding in their van as they arrived in the UK from France.
Jane Cave and her husband Ed Masters from Broomsthorpe in Norfolk had initially found a man in the back of the van at a supermarket on their way to the French border, and he was removed.
But when travelling through Suffolk on the journey home, they heard knocking and found another migrant and called the police.
Several months after the incident, they received the fine from Border Force, which said it had "sufficient evidence" for the penalty…
A few months later, they received a letter informing them that they were being fined.
"It said we are fining you for bringing in a clandestine immigrant," she said.
"[I thought] why? It's not our fault.
"We did everything right."
The couple must pay the fine within the next two years but was paying monthly due to not being able to pay it off in full…
A Home Office spokesperson said: "We are fully committed to stopping people from illegally entering the country and cracking down on people smugglers.
"We do not issue clandestine entrant civil penalty fines without sufficient evidence."”
The real bitter irony here is that it’s a virtual guarantee this “migrant” was immediately released after being apprehended and presumably is running around the UK at this very moment, free as a jaybird with a government EBT card and a comfy bed in what used to be a school repurposed as a “migrant shelter,” and possibly a couple of underage British sex slaves to keep him warm at night.
Somehow, the Polish — who apparently don’t sufficiently respect Diversity™ and its many blessings — don’t seem to have the same kind of problems.

How to get around political donation limits
Behest Payments
The influence of money in politics is something that has concerned advocates of good government for many decades. As a result, California has transparency laws that require the disclosure of campaign donations and spending.
While state law places limits on contributions to a candidate’s campaign and on gifts to an elected official, there is one kind of donation that operates differently, allowing elected officials to request unlimited amounts of money from individuals, businesses or other entities, even those that have an interest in a particular government action or policy.
This type of donation is called a “behested payment.” According to state campaign finance regulators, a payment is considered “behested” if it is made at the request, suggestion or solicitation of, or made in cooperation, consultation, coordination or concert with the public official; and it is made for a legislative, governmental or charitable purpose.
Officials must report behested payments within 30 days of the date on which the payment meets or exceeds $5,000 from a single source.
As one example, Gov. Gavin Newsom reported more than $3.6 million in behested payments to fund his 2023 inaugural festivities. Some entities
donated as much as $250,000 at the governor’s request.
Elected officials can exert undue influence on the people and entities they govern. It’s something to watch.
You can view behested payments in the state’s database of reports at fppc.ca.gov/transparency/behested- payments.html. Click the link for “Text based search using the name of the elected official, payor or payee” to access the search feature.
Local officials can raise money with behested payments, too. To find the records of these donations, search for “behested payments” on the website of your city or county government.
California's bullet train boondoggle
BOONDOGGLE UPDATE: |
BULLET TRAIN COSTS SURGE AGAIN |
California’s
epic boondoggle,
the high-speed rail project, will cost even more to build and will have millions fewer riders than previously projected.
That’s according to the latest report from the California High- Speed Rail Authority. The 2023 project update from agency officials blames the “impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on global supply chains and the resulting market instability and inflation” for an impact on the prices of construction materials and labor.
The rail authority now esti- mates that the complete 500- mile project will cost up to $128 billion. Not every state lawmaker is onboard. “Californians have lost faith in this project, and the Legislature has lost faith as well,” said Assembly Member Vince Fong, R-Bakersfield. Senate Minority Leader Brian Jones, R-Santee, posted on Twitter that “it’s time to pump the brakes on the hot mess
express
and defund” the bullet train.
Under the terms of Proposition 1A, the bond measure that launched the high-speed rail project in 2008, the bullet train must be able to operate without a public subsidy. However, the latest project update report indicates new challenges on that front. According to updated estimates of ridership, 31.3 million passengers are expected to take the bullet train between San Francisco and Los Angeles in 2040. That’s about 7.3 million fewer than previously estimated.
The High-Speed Rail Authority pointed to lower population and employment growth forecasts, as well as a general decline in transit ridership in California, as the cause of the lower ridership
projections. The agency claimed that despite the drop-off, high- speed rail between Merced and Bakersfield “will nearly double current rail ridership” between those cities.
Taxpayers may wonder if doubling the existing rail ridership between Merced and Bakersfield is worth the roughly $35 billion that the 171-mile “early operating segment” is now projected to cost. Experience suggests it could be even more by the time the segment is completed, estimated to happen by the end of 2030.
the bullet train is largely funded by the state’s “cap-and-trade” program, which requires utilities, refineries and other companies to buy permits to emit greenhouse gases. A 2014 law dedicated 25% of the revenue raised from selling the permits to building high-speed rail. However, the cap-and-trade program, which adds an estimated 23 cents to the price of a gallon of gasoline, expires in 2030.
In the High-Speed Rail Authority’s latest report, chief executive officer Brian Kelly, whose 2021 salary and benefits totaled more than $535,600, called on lawmakers to provide “an answer on how this project will be funded after 2030.” He wrote that “megaprojects that last for decades need long-term, stable funding.”
“Funding” is a word that government officials often use when what they really mean is “tax increase.”
You can count on the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association to be vigilant on this issue. Regardless of what it is called by high-speed rail proponents, we will fight against anything that raises the cost of living for Californians in order to extend the bullet train boondoggle.
The rail authority now estimates that the complete 500-mile project will cost up to $128 billion.
That’s a key date, because no ongoing funding has been identified for the construction of the rest of the project beyond 2030. Currently, construction of

Bangladesh: Islamists slaughter non Muslims
Slaughter in Bangladesh and the International Cover-Up

On August 5, 2024, Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina was forced to flee the country and take refuge in India following a month-long anti-government movement led by Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI), ultra-Islamist Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), Hizb Ut Tahrir and other Islamist organizations in the country. It was earlier perceived by many that the Biden administration had been trying to topple Sheikh Hasina from power and install Muhammad Yunus as head of the government.
Muhammad Yunus is one of the major donors of Clinton Foundation, and according to a cable leaked by Wikileaks, back in 2007, Hillary Clinton made frantic bids and exerted pressure on Bangladesh Army to make her friend Yunus head of the then military-backed interim government.
Following the ouster of Sheikh Hasina, Muhammad Yunus returned to Bangladesh on August 7, 2024 from France and on the subsequent day took oath as the "Chief Advisor" of the military-backed revolutionary regime. Meanwhile, since August 5, 2024, massive attacks on Hindus, including their homes, businesses and temples began, while local media were barred from covering these incidents, as the Yunus regime has been arresting critics and journalists and bringing murder cases against them.
As Yunus is enjoying full support of the Biden administration as well as Democratic Party leaders such as Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, none of the rights groups, including Amnesty International or Human Rights Watch has issued any statement pertaining attacks (including murder and rapes) on Hindus in the country.
Organizations such as Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) also did not issue any statement condemning the arrest of journalists and imprisoning them in murder cases.
On September 26, 2024, during his US visit to attend UNGA, Muhammed Yunus was accorded a reception by the Clinton Global Initiative, which was also attended by Bill Clinton. In this program, Bill Clinton applauded Mahfuz Alam, a leader of Hizb Ut Tahrir who led Islamist revolt in Bangladesh. Here is a video of the event.
Here is one more related link to Mahfuz Alam's Hizb Ut Tahrir connections.
Incidentally that Hizb Ut Tahrir is an anti-democracy Islamist outfit, which advocates establishment of a caliphate and is banned in Bangladesh and many other countries, including Britain and the United States.

https://justthenews.com/government/congress/more-13000-non-detained-illegal-immigrants-homicide-convictions-us-ice-says
There are currently 425,431 convicted non-citizen criminals still inside the U.S.
There are more than 13,000 non-detained illegal immigrants convicted of homicide currently inside the U.S., according to a top Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official.
According to a letter ICE Deputy Director Patrick Lechleitner sent to Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, with statistics on non-detained non-citizens with criminal convictions still inside the U.S.
Non-detained citizens include those apprehended at the border and released as well as those currently involved in immigration court proceedings.
The letter, released on Friday, states that there are 13,099 non-detained non-citizens with murder convictions, 15,811 with sexual offense convictions and 425,431 convicted criminals.
There are 222,141 total non-detained non-citizens with pending criminal charges. Of that total, there are 1,845 with homicide charges and 4,250 with pending sexual assault charges.
Former President Trump reacted to the statistics on social media.
"I've been saying this from the beginning of the Harris-Biden Administration, as soon as I learned they opened the Borders. Nobody who has allowed this to happen to our Country is fit to be President of the United States!" he wrote.
"Bad timing for her to show up to the Border today, after not going for four years. Why didn't she release these numbers earlier?" he added.
House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Mark E. Green, R-Tenn., said the statistics demonstrate that the release of illegal immigrants from the border into the U.S. defies common sense.
“It may be shocking to hear that the Biden-Harris administration is actively releasing tens of thousands of criminal illegal aliens into our communities, but their own numbers conclusively prove this to be the case. This defies all common sense," he said in a statement on Friday.
"Under President Biden and his ‘border czar,’ Vice President Harris, DHS law enforcement has been directed to mass-release illegal aliens whom they know have criminal convictions or are facing charges for serious crimes—and these dangerous, destructive individuals are making their way into every city and state in this country. How many more Americans need to die or be victimized before this administration is forced to abide by the laws they swore to uphold? This is madness. It is something no civilized, well-functioning society should tolerate," he added.
