This week, New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill revealed that more than 6,600 noncitizens ended up on its voter rolls, with nearly 400 of them casting ballots between June 2023 and June 2024.
Despite saying the situation is unacceptable and claiming that she is being proactive to fix it, her administration has also begun steering the same noncitizens toward taxpayer-funded legal help.
Sherrill promptly blamed the software vendor, IDEMIA, for the problem.
A Liberal Democrat council has secured a High Court injunction that effectively bans the unauthorised display of the St George's Cross and Union Flag on lampposts and public highways across an entire English county.
What began as a grassroots campaign to raise the colours of the nation has been declared a threat to community safety, with the full force of the courts now deployed against it.
Oxfordshire County Council, run by the Liberal Democrats, won its landmark case after months of legal action against the Raise the Colours campaign.

Justice Dexter Dias granted the order prohibiting unidentified persons from attaching England or Union flags to highway infrastructure or painting flag imagery on roads. Breach carries the risk of imprisonment, unlimited fines, or asset seizure.
Council leader Tim Bearder celebrated the outcome, stating "This is a welcome judgement. We're very pleased with the result," adding "This sets a legal precedent and will hopefully deter people in not just Oxfordshire but around the country from partaking in this criminal activity."
He described those involved as "very challenging people, not patriots."
The council claims the flags created highway safety risks, trespass, and obstruction. It spent roughly £80,000 removing them and a further £40,000 on legal fees, costs it now intends to recover.
Staff tasked with taking the flags down reportedly faced hostility, to the point that some were instructed to wear face coverings and check their vehicles for tracking devices after one worker's home address was published.
The judge noted that maintenance teams had been "working in fear" and that people directed by the council had been obstructed "to the extent that at times they have simply given up on the removal." He concluded there was "little prospect absent an injunction that it will stop."
The new order does not prevent flags on private property, and the council insists it flies both the Union Flag and St George's Cross at County Hall.
This is the same Oxfordshire authority that earlier issued formal stop notices branding the widespread installation of national flags an "act of intimidation and division."
The pattern is now familiar. English councils have repeatedly treated the national flag as a problem to be managed rather than a symbol to be celebrated. FOI requests previously revealed at least £70,000 spent removing Union Jacks and St George's Crosses from lampposts, with some local politicians openly calling the expenditure "money well spent" to combat supposed far-right agitation.
In Essex, staff were offered emotional support if they felt "discomforted" by the mere sight of the national flag in their communities.
A leaked government social cohesion strategy went further still, describing how the "extreme right has tried to turn symbols of pride into tools of hate," framing the Union Flag itself as a potential instrument of exclusion and intimidation.
The phenomenon has a name: vexillophobia - the irrational fear of the flag. Britain has reached the point where flying the St George's Cross is treated as a form of aggression while other political symbols face no such institutional hostility.
During the recent World Cup, English people were warned not to fly flags, the reasoning being that it could intimidate migrants and non-English people.
The selective nature of the discomfort is hard to miss. When rows of Pride flags lined streets in such density that even a prominent television presenter described them as "oppressive," the institutional response was silence or defence. National colours, by contrast, trigger injunctions, safety briefings, and high court orders.
Raise the Colours began as a simple act of public expression - covering Britain in its own flags. In Oxfordshire it has now been met with the full machinery of the state.
The High Court has drawn a line: the English flag may be flown on private property, but the public highway is a neutral zone where the nation's colours are treated as a potential hazard.
The precedent is set. Other councils are watching. The message to ordinary people who simply want to see their country's flag in public spaces is clear. In 2026 Britain, that desire is something the authorities feel compelled to police.
One of the most egregious fantasies promoted by liberals over the past several decades is the worshipful image of the desperate and grateful third world asylum seeker. We see it constantly in movies television and popular media; the narrative of the "huddled masses, yearning to breathe free..." This narrative has become so ingrained in western culture that it is absolutely world shattering when people find out how entitled and arrogant most migrants really are.
The flood of over 60,000 Muslim migrants from Morocco to the Spanish enclave of Ceuta has dashed a lot of progressive delusions in the past week, with migrants fresh from the beaches already looting businesses, raiding homes, attacking locals and setting fires. European officials are reluctantly admitting that the invasion is a problem that must be corrected.
The video evidence on social media is a crushing blow to the multicultural agenda, so much so that Ursula von der Leyen, head of the European Commission, complained about the optics of the images coming out of Ceuta on social media.
Spanish officials have attacked the negative response of some European leaders as "selfish" and "prejudiced", stating that the European Union would be harmed by the "polarizing" rhetoric.
But isn't this migrant horde exactly what European elites have been enabling for the past decade? Yes, it is, but the Cueta incident is happening too quickly and gaining far too much public attention. They usually prefer a "frog in a boiling pot" strategy over blatant barbarian pillaging plastered all over international news.
But it gets much worse for the multicultural cabal, because interviews with these migrants are hitting the mainstream. What these people have to say about their stay in Ceuta so far is mind blowing. The entitlement is unprecedented. Third worlders thought they were marching into a free buffet with easy access to amenities, jobs and westerners bowing at their feet.
Instead, the illegals were met with closed businesses (for safety), prices they could not afford, no jobs and hostility from other migrants who came to Ceuta legally.
People being beaten or killed (if the claims are true) is unfortunate, but then again, it seems to have worked. Large numbers of migrants are reportedly leaving Ceuta on their own because they fear backlash from the locals. There's an important lesson that could be learned her by populations across the western world:
If governments are not going to do their duty and secure national borders from invaders, then the public still has the power to make those invaders leave simply by making the lives of illegal migrants miserable. If their experiences in the west are worse than their experiences in their home country, they will go back.
Of course, the entitlement of migrants is amplified by progressive leaders in the west. Foreigners have been regaled with stories from western media about a land of plenty and a life of ease. All they have to do is make the crossing and the streets will be paved with riches for the taking. It is clear that the majority of migrants entering Ceuta were under the impression that they would be welcomed with open arms and lavished with subsidies.
Instead, the Spanish military is escorting thousands of them out of the enclave. Or, at the very least, the military is making a good show of trying to remove the migrants from the area. Meanwhile, the locals are doing the job that the government should have been doing from the beginning, which is making Ceuta so inhospitable to migrants that they will never want to go back.
Father of slain Marine speaks out after illegal immigrant who killed son faces third deportation
The father of a US Marine killed in a hit-and-run crash involving an illegal immigrant is speaking out after federal authorities arrested the man for a third time as he once again faces deportation.
Martin Martinez-Ballinas, 38, a Mexican national, was arrested by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) July 22 after serving a federal prison sentence for illegally reentering the United States.
He now faces his third deportation, according to federal authorities.
Federal officials said Martinez-Ballinas was convicted in a 2017 crash in Maryland that killed 21-year-old US Marine James Ray Walden III.
Bill Maher calls out Fauci for telling ‘actual lies’ about COVID-19 origins after Senate hearing
Comedian and talk show host Bill Maher railed against former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci just days after he invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination 111 times during a Senate hearing over his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.
During Friday’s episode of HBO’s “Real Time,” Maher called out Fauci for telling “actual lies” about the origins of the virus responsible for over seven million confirmed deaths worldwide following Fauci’s Senate hearing on Wednesday.
“He was caught in actual lies,” Maher said, adding, “The big issue to me is the origin of this, which is very important. How did it start?”
“He was telling people up front when it first began [that] it was from the wet markets. It could not — that’s a conspiracy theory — if you say it escaped from the lab,” Maher said.
“And he knew better,” Maher continued. “Because we have him in his diary telling us what he was saying to other scientists, who were saying, ‘No, absolutely.’”
He also blasted Fauci over the crux of his hearing, in which he was questioned regarding the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases’ funding of “gain-of-function” research in China.
Fox News Digital previously covered Fauci’s vehement denial that the controversial research method — which involves scientists altering the genetics of a virus to better understand and treat it — led to the samples breaking free from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

“I would always have said, don’t do it, but it’s a viable debate,” Maher said, referring to the “gain-of-function” research method. “It’s a reasonable debate — should we soup up something that’s bad, this bacteria, to study it? Maybe if it got out it would be even worse. I think that’s what did happen.”
In June 2025, the World Health Organization released a report in which officials determined “the weight of available evidence … suggests zoonotic spillover … either directly from bats or through an intermediate host.”
Maher then challenged the controversy surrounding the lab leak theory, which has been supported by President Trump, and suggested the outcry surrounding its merit was largely due to social issues — not scientific evidence.

“We could have had that debate in a rational way,” Maher said. “We didn’t want to do that. Because why? Because we make everything about race. And this is one of the repercussions in this.”
“You couldn’t say it escaped from the lab, because that was the racist point of view somehow — that the entire Asian continent would have been somehow complicit in this because it escaped from the [lab],” Maher said. “It was ridiculous.”
“But that is where they went,” the comedian continued. “You were racist if you said this escaped from a lab. I think we’ve morphed from a place where we want to obviously not be prejudiced against anybody, to where people of color can never do any wrong.”
Maher’s criticism of Fauci marks a notable break from his fellow left-leaning counterparts in media, who have historically stood behind the doctor.
“Once again, Bill Maher is willing to level with the country in a way the liberal, elitist media never would,” Curtis Houck, managing editor of NewsBusters at the Media Research Center, told Fox News Digital. “The press should be capable of calling balls and strikes.”
“But when it comes to most things and their dear Saint Fauci, they must protect him at all costs by either explaining away his damaging diary entries or not covering them at all,” he continued. “The media have made the decision to be joined at the hip with Fauci, even as his credibility has dropped off a cliff.”
The regime is murdering its youth, including two young men who were only offering help to fleeing protesters. At least 26 people linked to those protests have been hanged after trials marked by torture and forced confessions, while dozens more – in a terror state determined to instill fear – remain at urgent risk.
The only countries taking meaningful action, or even expressing disapproval of this regime and its atrocities, are the United States and Israel. The United Nations and the European Union, which endlessly lecture the world about human rights and vilify Israel for defending not only itself but them, have offered effectively no objections.
The "No to Execution Tuesdays" campaign has spread to nearly 60 prisons across Iran, marking over 130 consecutive weeks of protest. The prisoners know the risks of protesting — further isolation, denial of medical care, or accelerated hangings — nonetheless they refuse to stay silent.
Contrast this to the swift, fierce international outcry whenever Israel defends itself and Western civilization against barbarities. You will find an unfailing avalanche of pompous statements, condemnations and resolutions. When Iran executes protesters in public squares, tortures prisoners, and arms Russia's war machine, the response consists of muted expressions of "grave concern." The UN issues calls for moratoriums, which Iran, of course, ignores.
Iranian embassies and consulates remain open across Europe; European diplomats continue operating in Tehran. Diplomatic relations proceed as if the regime were a normal partner rather than an outsized human rights abuser and massive state sponsor of terrorism.
Concrete action requires, first, expelling all Iranian diplomats and closing down all Iranian embassies and consulates in Europe. These facilities, which simply function as operational bases for the IRGC and intelligence networks, must be shut down.
Second, European countries should simultaneously close their own embassies in Iran and impose a complete halt to trade with Iran. A civilized country does not do business with a tyranny that publicly hangs protesters, runs show trials, and tortures prisoners.
Third, provide full support — particularly military and economic where needed — to the United States and Israel in confronting Iran's regime. This is not merely a regional dispute; Iran is dedicated to bringing down democracy, freedom, and international peace. Iran's regime exports nothing but a theocratic dictatorship, terror and death.
Scott Galloway is a left wing political commentator and professor at NYU. He hates President Trump and has never heard a far left policy he didn’t like.
But now he is complaining that he has been hit with Zohran Mamdani’s new pied-à-terre tax, which hits New Yorkers who own a valuable second home.
Galloway is complaining that he has been ‘doxed’ because his name appears in the Mamdani administration’s searchable database for these properties.
Prominent liberal podcaster and NYU professor Scott Galloway called out New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s publicly accessible database, saying it endangers landowners like himself.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani opened a new front in his ongoing battle with New York City’s wealthy after his administration published a searchable database identifying affluent property owners who could be subject to the city’s proposed pied-à-terre tax, a move critics say could expose them to harassment and public safety risks.
The database, released by the city’s Department of Finance, allows users to search properties and view the names and addresses of owners whose non-primary residences could be subject to the proposed tax. A spokesperson for the department said publication of the property roll was required by state law…
“I’ve been doxed,” the liberal professor announced on the podcast. “I don’t know if you’ve heard, but Mayor Mamdani has decided to release a list of the 950,000 residences with addresses and names that might be eligible for his pied-à-terre tax.”
“I don’t love this,” co-host Kara Swisher agreed. “I can’t say I love this. It feels a little bit like doxing. Just tax them and get on with it is my feeling.”…
“He’s taken a legitimate source of tax revenue, and he’s turning it into a wanted poster,” he said of Mamdani’s tax list. “The question I would have is, other than trying to identify and imply these people have done something wrong — and then, 18 months after a healthcare CEO was executed in the street, published the list — what is the upside here? Why is he doing this?”
Keep these in mind as you contemplate the direction of the American government over the past 50 years and especially since the Obama election.
The Goals of Communism
(as read into the congressional record January 10, 1963, from "The Naked Communist" by Cleon Skousen)
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament of the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand.
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use united force to solve economic, political or social problems.
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction over nations and individuals alike.
