A bomb threat hoax on Tuesday failed to halt voting at a city polling site, while reports of similar incidents happened around New Jersey. Law enforcement officers visited Hedgepeth-Williams Elementary School in the 300 block of Gladstone Ave. at around 5 a.m. According to a statement, patrol units immediately responded, and a search of the building was conducted by both patrol officers and K-9 units from both Trenton Police and the Mercer County Sheriff’s Office.

Pakistan-born Mussab Ali is seeking to become mayor of Jersey City, running on a Democrat platform that includes affordable housing for artists, pushing for "economic equity," free buses, and funding "legal defense for immigrants facing deportation." In a recent campaign video posted to social media, Ali said he was the "black Zohran Mamdani." Ali was born in Pakistan in 1997 and came to the US at the age of three with his family. Ali was the youngest elected official in Jersey City’s history at the age of 20 and was the youngest Muslim in elected office at the time. Ali...

Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) appeared desperate to evade any and all questions about his support for former President Joe Biden — support that continued even after it became painfully obvious that Biden was declining rapidly.Newsom repeatedly dodged questions on that topic during a Sunday morning appearance on “Meet the Press,” attempting to change the subject every time host Kristen Welker raised another question about the former president.WATCH:“You stood by him till the end, after that disastrous debate performance, even when top Democrats were calling for him to step down,” Welker began. “Did you ever have concerns, Governor, about his capacity...

Election integrity was a key element in President Donald Trump's 2024 campaign. In March of 2025, shortly after resuming office, President Trump signed an executive order (EO) intended to increase election security and assure election integrity in American elections. A key component of that EO was the requirement for voters to provide proof of citizenship, establishing that they are eligible to cast their vote in federal elections, before being allowed to cast a ballot. That doesn't seem an unreasonable requirement, unless you're a Democrat. A U.S. District judge has now overturned that provision of the president's order. Donald Trump’s request...

Friday on MSNBC’s “Deadline,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) claimed lawmakers had seen “no evidence” the Trump administration’s military strikes were on drug boats. Host Nicolle Wallace asked, “What briefings have you received on the success of striking drug traffickers? Have you seen evidence or images of drugs being found on the boats that have been struck?” Blumenthal said, “What briefings? Zero. And as you may know, I think it’s public by now, there was a briefing for Republican senators only, which is unprecedented. So we’ve seen no evidence, none whatsoever, as to who is in these boats, more than ten...

Six years ago, when the U.S. Supreme Court upheld highly partisan state election maps in North Carolina and Maryland — ruling that federal courts cannot block states from drawing up maps that favor one party over the other — one of the court’s liberal justices issued a warning.“If left unchecked, gerrymanders like the ones here may irreparably damage our system of government,” Associate Justice Elena Kagan wrote in a dissent.Kagan argued that Republicans in North Carolina and Democrats in Maryland — the two examples before the court — had rigged elections in a way that “deprived citizens of the most...

Summary Program aims to improve education, child welfare in New Mexico Other Democratic-run areas eye similar steps Critics argue against free child care for wealthy families TAOS, New Mexico, Nov 1 (Reuters) - New Mexico became on Saturday the first U.S. state to offer free child care to all residents in a bid to boost its economy and lift education and child welfare levels ranked the worst in the country.Under the program, families, regardless of income, can receive state vouchers to cover public and private child care fees.

Text messages allegedly offering voters $100 to support Democrat candidates in New Hanover County. The North Carolina Republican Party is demanding an investigation into what appears to be a cash-for-votes operation in New Hanover County. Text messages allegedly offered voters $100 to cast ballots for three Democrat candidates in Wilmington’s City Council race. If confirmed, this would mark one of the most blatant examples of election corruption in recent state history—and it mirrors a scandal that erupted in Gary, Indiana. In that 2023 case, Democrat precinct officials and campaign workers were charged with voter fraud after investigators discovered a coordinated...

'You can't just destroy small communities along the way'An impassioned and oftentimes angry cohort from a small California city turned up ready for a fight this week in opposition to the California High-Speed Rail Authority’s proposal to bisect the town. On Monday, residents of Shafter, a rural town of 22,000 just about 20 miles northwest of Bakersfield, showed up en masse to provide almost two hours of unanimous testimony opposing the plan to their city council. Individual pleas from community members often began calmly and then crescendoed into yelling (or even escalated to holding back tears) following a presentation by...

WASHINGTON — Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) released additional FBI files Wednesday revealing that hundreds more Republican groups and persons were targeted in a “fishing expedition” brought by special counsel Jack Smith. In a press conference alongside other GOP senators, Grassley announced that he was making public the 197 subpoenas issued by Smith as part of the Arctic Frost probe, which became “the vehicle by which FBI agents and DOJ prosecutors could improperly investigate the entire Republican political apparatus.” “I’ve obtained through legally protected whistleblower disclosures,” Grassley said. “197 subpoenas were issued by Jack Smith and his team. These subpoenas were...

Senator Ron Johnson underlines a key point being missed by many. All of the revelations about the FBI’s Arctic Frost investigation against President Trump and his supporters, are being provided by evidence carried to congress by DOJ/FBI “whistleblowers.”Pause and reflect on that observation for a few moments. The public awareness of political targeting by the DOJ/FBI is coming from ‘whistleblowers’ to Senator Chuck Grassley. It is not Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel bringing forward the information about the weaponized use of their institutions.If Pam Bondi and Kash Patel were in control of the root systems within...

National broadcasters dedicated zero air time to informing the public about the FBI’s “Arctic Frost” scandal, a sprawling surveillance operation after Jan. 6 that probed more than 150 Republican lawmakers and entities close to President Donald Trump. According to analysis by media watchdog group NewsBusters, while documents continue to reveal Operation Arctic Frost ensnared more and more GOP legislators, major networks ABC, CBS and NBC over the past week have thus far failed to report on the bombshell developments. NewsBusters’ Curtis Houck highlighted the networks’ lack of coverage, noting Fox News’ Brett Baier did the story justice. However, even after...

Kamala Harris says the voting age should be lowered to 16 because young people "fear they'll be wiped out by extreme weather & they fear having children”

A million times worse than Watergate.I called Russiagate a thousand times worse than Watergate. We’re several stages beyond that. The latest revelations about ‘Arctic Frost’, the operation by the Biden administration to target Trump and allies, go way beyond anything even in Russiagate. The witch hunt fronted by Clinton ally Jack Smith targeted conservative groups, even those that didn’t exist during the battle over the election or on Jan 6, the alleged reason for the investigation, and bugged a fifth of the Republican Senate delegation. Sen. Ted Cruz held a press conference to reveal that the targeting of his phone...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom invoked biblical teachings while criticizing Republican leadership and the Trump administration for the federal government shutdown’s impact on food assistance, arguing that Scripture commands care for the hungry and that Washington is failing that moral test. Speaking Tuesday in Sacramento alongside state Attorney General Rob Bonta and Health and Human Services Secretary Kim Johnson, Newsom cited teachings from Matthew, Isaiah, Luke and Proverbs as evidence that feeding the poor is "core and central to what it is to align to God’s will." "It’s not a suggestion in the Old [and] the New Testament," Newsom said. "These...
