GOP Challenges Extreme Absentee Voter Law Spreading Around The Country
Republicans are challenging state laws that let U.S. citizens who have never set foot in a state cast ballots there simply because a parent once registered to vote. Opponents say the measures invent a form of inherited residency that ignores clear constitutional requirements that voters actually live in the state, county, and precinct. The Republican National Committee and two Nebraska residents argue that the laws dilute the votes of genuine local citizens by handing ballots to people with no real connection to the community. A district court upheld Nebraskaâs version, prompting an appeal to the state Supreme Court. Similar RNC challenges target the same loophole in multiple other states. About 116 people are registered under Nebraskaâs provision.

Boulders Dark Money Friends Show Up At The Supreme Court
Boulder County and the City of Boulder sued major energy companies, including Suncor Energy, under state tort law, seeking damages for alleged local harms from climate change. The companies argue federal law preempts such claims. The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in the case on Oct. 5. More than two dozen amicus briefs supporting Boulder were filed earlier this month by nonprofits, academics, former officials, and Democrat members of Congress. Many of those briefs trace funding to the same dark-money network that includes George Sorosâs Open Society Foundations, the Tides Foundation, the New Venture Fund, and the Clean Break Fund. Those groups also back the leading climate plaintiffsâ firm Sher Edling and related advocacy shops that have fueled dozens of similar lawsuits nationwide.
Trump EPA Ends Summer Gas Rules Early To Lower U.S. Pump Prices
The Environmental Protection Agency issued a temporary emergency waiver allowing nationwide sales of winter-grade gasoline beginning Sept. 1. The action, taken in consultation with the Department of Energy, ends summer-blend requirements two weeks early. Officials say it will add hundreds of thousands of barrels of fuel to domestic supplies and help lower prices. National average gasoline prices stood at about $4.11 a gallon last week. Environmental groups have warned that the higher-volatility blends can increase ozone pollution in warm weather.
While Trump Sharply Cuts Foreign Aid, Past Abuses From The Obama-Biden Era Keep Piling Up
President Trump has sharply reduced foreign aid previously managed by USAID and shifted remaining programs to the State Department. Inspector general audits from the past year detail billions lost to fraud, waste, theft, and mismanagement under prior administrations. Examples include a half-billion-dollar bribery scheme involving a USAID contracting officer, U.S.-funded equipment seized by Houthis, millions in spoiled food aid, and continued funding for UNRWA despite employee ties to Hamas. House Oversight Chairman James Comer linked Democratic resistance to the cuts with nonprofit recipients that donate to Democrats.
Hasan Pikerâs Prediction Of Violence Against American Jews Rattles Michigan Democrats
Left-wing Islamo-Communist streamer Hasan Piker said on an Aug. 20 livestream that American Jews who link their identity to Israel risk inviting violence against themselves rather than the Jewish state. The comments referenced Michigan state Sen. Jeremy Moss (D-MI7) and drew condemnation from US Rep. Hillary Scholten (D-MI). Scholten called the remarks unacceptable and a threat to American Jews. Democrat Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed, who previously campaigned with Piker, issued a statement opposing antisemitism while distancing the race from the controversy. Republican nominee Mike Rogers (R-MI) urged El-Sayed to disavow Piker.
New Video Shows Trio Of Mole People Emerge From NYC Manhole Near Penn Station
A video captured three men wearing headlamps and overalls climbing out of a manhole near Penn Station in Manhattan. The footage was taken around 4 a.m. at 32nd Street and Seventh Avenue. The New York Police Department is investigating the incident, with no arrests made. City officials inspected the sewers and found no damage to the infrastructure. Authorities warned that entering manholes is illegal and extremely dangerous due to hazards like noxious gases and confined spaces. Similar sightings occurred in other boroughs earlier this year.
Editorâs Note: Does anyone else find this revelation making you very uneasy given the many suspected terrorists who crossed the border under Biden?

Communist Party USA Sees Membership Surge Over Last Decade Spokesperson
The Communist Party USA reported a surge in membership in recent years, according to co-chair Joe Sims. In a party interview, Sims said the increase followed Bernie Sandersâ 2016 campaign and continued during the first Trump presidency. A party video caption claimed the organization recruited 20,000 members over several years. Sims attributed the growth to younger people more willing to identify publicly as communists and called youth the spark of the revolutionary movement.
Editorâs Note: In comparison, the Democrat Party has a partial national membership of over 45 million. So, why is the radical Left in control of the party?
