这女子叫Lulu Freistadt，她是“智能选举（Smart Elections）”组织的联合创始人兼执行董事。她表示自己从 2021 年起一直在纽约市担任投票站监督员（poll watcher）。
事件经过：
她提到昨天（投票期间）她在纽约布朗克斯（Bronx）的一个投票点做监督工作。
起初一切正常，投票人数与扫描的选票数量对得上，她本准备离开。
但随后她发现一件非常奇怪的事：所有的投票站工作人员（poll workers）都在清点并准备离开，而投票机却仍然开着、没有上锁、没有密封，选票也还没有被取出。
按照正常程序，每台投票机都应由指定的投票工作人员负责关闭、密封并取出选票。但现场的机器和选票完全处于未密封状态。
交涉与冲突：
当她坐下等待工作人员按规定处理选票时，协调员（coordinator）开始变得焦躁不安，并打电话给副首席书记官（deputy chief clerk）。对方告诉她必须离开。
她指出根据法规，投票监督员有权留在现场直到投票结束、选票被取出并放入密封容器中。
尽管她据理力争，但工作人员和警察还是要求她离开，现场只留下一名技术人员在无人监督的情况下关闭投票机。
结尾：她强调这种不符合规范的做法为作弊提供了可乘之机，并呼吁大家关注和转发。

After MTG left Congress in January, she transferred her leftover campaign funds into a PAC.
She has since been using that PAC as a personal piggy bank including flights, hotels, fine dining, and limo rides. She reimburses herself for "political expenses." Thousands every month.
She also pays her daughter nearly 6K a month for "consulting." Consulting what?
The purpose of a PAC is to raise funds and distribute it to ACTIVE politicians or causes. Not use it as a slush fund to travel the country for paid speaking events.
The sooner you realize these losers are all just a bunch of self-serving grifters who only care about their own pockets, the better. Receipts. ⬇️

Rest in Peace to an absolute Pittsburgh Legend
The city just won’t “sahnd”’as cool
without him
Donnie Iris (1943-2026)
Brian Cartwright retweeted
Dominic lerace, known simply to generations of working-class households as Dahnnie, passed away at 83 after a quiet, three-year battle with bladder cancer.
He was the sonic heartbeat of a culture defined by grittiness, loyalty, and an unshakeable connection to the soil from which it grew.
To understand Donnie Iris is to understand the geography of the Beaver Valley and the distinct lilt of the Pittsburgh dialect. He wasn't a product of Hollywood slickness or New York corporate curation. Born in New Castle and raised in Ellwood City, he belonged entirely to the landscape of brick row houses, church basements, and neighborhood clubs. His music wasn't just entertainment; it was a reflection of the people who filled the mills, staffed the local diners, and packed the Beaver Falls taverns six nights a week.
He announced his retirement just weeks ago after playing at The Wylie in the Pittsburgh historic Hill District.
Godspeed, my friend Godspeed 💔

Robert Reich in 2025: Trump is a fascist dictator for even suggesting that a company be taken over by the government and for telling a CEO what to do.
Robert Reich in 2026: SpaceX and Starlink must be taken over by the government.

Steelers offensive ranks since Week 3 (when they made the switch on the right side of their O-Line): ⬇️
- 7th in Points Per Game
- 9th in EPA/Play
- 13th in Success Rate
- 18th in Dropback EPA
- 1st in Rushing EPA (by a wide margin)
The Steelers passing game isn't good enough at this point for this to be a truly elite offense overall, but what they do have is a truly elite run game, which prevents them from being a bad offense. In fact, it's elevates them to being a pretty darn good one.

Ilhan Omar.
- Federal agents raided her home.
- Took her phone, passport and computer.
- Subpoenaed her sister.
- Feds have her DNA.
- Her dad was a colonel who was a war criminal who posed as a refugee.
- Her ex-husband applied for a green card through their marriage.
- Pulled it when officials asked for more proof the marriage was real.
- From her alleged brother / husbands PhD thesis: "As a gay man of the East African diaspora, my fieldwork was never neutral.”
- Refers to himself as a "dirty dandy" on instagram.
When asked if it was her brother: "Not to my knowledge."
She told Democrats it's all lies.
Democrats: That's good enough for us.

ÚLTIMA HORA | El presidente del Tribunal Superior Electoral de Brasil, el juez Kassio Nunes Marques, acaba de lanzar una advertencia demoledora:
No existía absolutamente ninguna regla que permitiera extender la votación dos horas. Fue una orden sin precedentes de un magistrado del Supremo aliado de Lula, que terminó beneficiando a sus regiones.
La decisión preliminar, dictada después del cierre de las urnas, generó graves dificultades en el proceso electoral. “No había regulaciones que autorizaran ninguna extensión”, afirmó Nunes Marques.
Y lo dijo con claridad histórica:
“Nunca, en toda la historia del TSE, ha habido una extensión.”
También advirtió que era materialmente imposible, en pocas horas, garantizar que una decisión judicial de ese calibre no provocara efectos secundarios —especialmente tecnológicos— capaces de alterar de forma significativa el conteo de votos.
Y remató con un recordatorio contundente al Supremo: la Constitución atribuye competencia exclusiva a la Justicia Electoral para dirigir el proceso electoral. No al STF.

"Important issues"
Tucker Carlson has been the central figure in a foreign-tied demoralization op aimed specifically at Republicans. There are equivalent efforts aimed at the left.
His framing changes, but everything he does is to advance that op. In this case, he's promoting a third-party candidate trying to take votes from the Republican. In many other cases, he promotes various left-wing activists. But the actual issue isn't what matters; just making people feel demoralized is the key.
The message is that our country is terrible, Republicans are terrible, and there is nothing you can do to fix it other than destroy our entire system. That's the aligned ideology of the green-red-alt-right alliance. That's why he can promote far-left Abdul El-Sayed as the answer in Michigan while also claiming the Wyoming Republican isn't conservative enough.
That's why he can claim his line is dead civilians in Gaza one day and then praise Putin and defend Russia's mass murder of countless Ukrainians, Syrians etc. the next. Or offer a revisionist view of Nazi crimes.
It's why he can claim Christians are being mistreated by Israel, while actively covering for far worse mistreatment in Arab countries.
He doesn't have any principles and will say anything that will advance the demoralization.
Luckily, most actual voters have proven immune to his efforts. Almost everyone Tucker promotes has lost their races, including at least one incumbent. But the online influencer sphere is so corrupt and incestuous that they are happy to assist this effort. Their audience numbers do better when Dems are in power anyways so might be a win-win for them. Just not the country.

If anyone believes this nonsense, here are the facts he is counting on you not knowing.
The deal did not end Iran's nuclear program. It rented a pause. Iran kept its centrifuges, kept Fordow buried in a mountain, kept enriching to 3.67%, and the key restrictions came with expiration dates. The sunset clauses began lifting in 2025. Obama's own answer at the time was that breakout time "would have shrunk almost down to zero" as the deal expired. His deal scheduled the problem for his successors.
The regime lied its way into the deal. The JCPOA was premised on Iran coming clean about past weapons work. In 2018 Israel pulled Iran's own nuclear archive out of a Tehran warehouse: tens of thousands of documents on the Amad Project, a crash program to build nuclear weapons, preserved and hidden while Iran certified it had no such program. The IAEA later found uranium traces at undeclared sites Iran never explained.
The deal paid for terror. Sanctions relief unfroze roughly $100 billion and the US delivered $1.7 billion in cash. That money flowed to the IRGC, Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis. Diplomacy with a regime at war with you is financing, not peace.
And the result? By 2025 Iran was enriching to 60%, a short technical step from weapons grade, with enough material for multiple bombs and the IAEA declaring it in violation of its obligations. That is what required military force this year. Iran marched to the threshold under the deal's cover and after it.
"I didn't have to fire a missile" is true. He handed the regime money, legitimacy, and a timetable, and left the missiles to be fired a decade later by someone else. Appeasing a dictatorship doesn't buy peace. It buys the dictatorship time.

Now that the full 1978 Acton files are beginning to circulate, several are still strangely trying to defend the “she lived in a tent” story.
The evidence, and Acton’s own statements contradict this.
She has stated several times now that she last saw her mother in a courtroom in the fall of 1978.
The complaint filed by her biological father, places the conduct and Amy at 3625½ Mahoning Ave., Austintown, an apartment over a storefront, from December 1976 through April 1978.
That covers winter would’ve she spent in a tent.
The campground on Route 7, appears as the step father’s address when he was arrested in July.
The plausible time she *may* have spent at a campsite would be between April-July of 1978.
This can actually be confirmed by unredacted versions of the files, which would list the victim address.
The stepfather’s SA charges have separate problems, namely that he was never pursued as a fugitive, lived ~90 miles away, was arrested/booked in 1996 in PA, placed on state parole, never picked up by OH, and died in PA in 2004.
There is an argument to be made that a county wouldn’t pursue/extradite the warrant—I find that hard to believe (since when do we not pursue child rapists?) but regardless, that is a separate argument to the tent story.
The original Ad stated that Acton is a liar. She has lied several times about this case, as she stated publicly that her mother was arrested and charged in connection with this case. That isn’t supported anywhere.
Her mother, Donna Arthur, obviously lost custody of her children in the 1970s/80s—so she can’t be “mother of the year” either.
My assessment of the files as of now leans more to a nasty custody dispute, and that the entire family is a mess.

Chris Hayes could have asked Ilhan ANYTHING about her marriage to Elmi while living, filing taxes+having babies with someone else. How did they meet? What was their first date?
When Power Line interviewed Elmi, he said he didn’t remember being married to Ilhan.

RE: The Democracy Files/Illegitimacy Playbook
The problem with @DataRepublican's Democracy Files is that the truth they expose sounds so outrageous that anyone who points out what is actually going on initially sounds like a foaming-at-the-mouth, lunatic conspiracy theorist.
So if anyone thinks that, I encourage you to go and watch the videos for yourself.
WATCH THE VIDEOS FOR YOURSELF.
I am not even remotely exaggerating when I say that a cabal of a few thousand ex-USAID/CIA/State/military employees have come together to create a Color Revolution plot that works EXACTLY like this:
1. Conduct pre-midterms information operations painting a false picture that Trump's election integrity efforts are actually a plan to steal the mid-terms.
2. With the mid-terms as a trigger, launch an army of well-organized, pre-planned, well-funded protestors to conduct "non-violent" (wink-wink, nudge-nudge) protests across the country to protest Trump trying to harm "our democracy."
3. Force Trump into a corner with these "non-violent" protests where he must invoke the Insurrection Act or take other drastic actions, thereby creating a "crisis of legitimacy."
4. Having pre-coordinated with Democrat governors across the country, those governors will declare Trump's Presidency "illegitimate" and seize control of American governance for themselves, until a new "Continental Congress" can re-shape our Constitution.
********************
That is LITERALLY what was caught on tape with these coup plotters. They discussed this strategy widely and often, in high levels of detail.
So before you falsely label this some fake conspiracy theory, go watch the videos yourself.
If, after watching them, you still believe this is "fake," then there is no hope for you or your brainwashed, low-functioning cerebral cortex.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

For those asking what the evidence includes:
- Omar married a man named Ahmed Nur Said Elmi (British Citizen) in 2009, allegedly during a separation from the father of her children, Ahmed Hirsi. But she had another child with Hirsi while married to Elmi. She later married Hirsi in 2018.
- Elmi and Omar listed an address on their marriage license which was also used by Hirsi during the marriage to apply for a business license, suggesting they all lived together at one point.
- Elmi filed for a marriage-based green-card application, but withdrew it after authorities requested additional evidence regarding the marriage.
- Omar's father went by Nur Said on facebook. Elmi's father was listed as Nur Said Elmi. When he died, social media posts listed him as Nur Said Elmi and offered condolences to Omar and Leila Nur Said (who raised Elmi). Other social media posts repeatedly suggested that Elmi was Omar's brother.
- New government filings suggest Ilhan Omar's real name may be Nur Said Elmi
- A well-known Somali blogger has claimed that Omar used to introduce Elmi as her brother when they were young. The same Somali blogger suggested Elmi had been ordered to come to the U.S. by his father because he was living a "decadent" life in the UK. Social media posts suggest he may be more into men than women; he has described himself as a "dirty dandy".
None of the above is really disputed in any substantive way. The above is not definitive evidence of a crime, but it is enough to at least suggest there may have been an attempt at immigration fraud that Omar was a willing participant in. It's definitely enough for people to start asking questions of a major political figure.
I don't know what else the investigation has found, but those simply dismissing it are doing so only because it's politically convenient to do so.
I don’t know what the specific government case against Ilhan Omar involves. We will have to wait to see if charges are brought and what they entail.
I do know (because I looked into it years ago) that the evidence that her previous “marriage” was likely part of a fraudulent immigration scheme was substantial. The press showed little interest in digging into the truth at the time because Omar and her allies successfully painted legitimate questions about possible illegal behavior as motivated by bigotry.
That happened to be the same playbook used by the main actors behind the massive Feeding Our Future fraud scheme that many people associated with Omar were also tied to. It allowed them to delay investigations for years and even enlist the help of Minnesota AG Keith Ellison to try to stall the investigation while they stole hundreds of millions.
It is also important to note for those trying to make it seem purely political that an investigation into Omar started under the Biden administration.

People are talking about the medical necessity of abortion to save the mother's life. I was one of those mothers.
I was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer that was cutting off my airway at 20 weeks of pregnancy. I will never forget when the first doctor, an oncologist, mentioned abortion. We had gone thru years of infertility to get pregnant. I knew I would rather die and give birth. Then I met with another doctor who listed all of the problems the baby would have if I did not terminate. I stood my ground and refused. He said, "That is ok. The baby will probably spontaneously abort anyway."
I searched and found good doctors that supported me, and I gave birth to a healthy baby at 34 weeks.
I will be celebrating 10 years cancer free in May. I have a healthy, beautiful, bright, precious 10 year old daughter who is a living reminder that doctors do not know everything” - Sarah Hull

They don’t control them for 6 years.
After drafting them, they control them for up to 14 YEARS!!!
It takes 5 years to be rule 5 elegible, and get on the 40-man roster. After that, the club can option you down to the minors for 3 years. After that, they control you for 6 years.
This is the only profession in this country where you don’t get to pick where you wanna work, and then that employer controls you with no saying for up to 14 years.
So, after those 14 years are over, they want to cap their earnings.
GTFO.
Dear Salary Cap Cultists
But wait there’s more!
The owners OWN players for six years in baseball! That is SIX YEARS that players get no say in what they make or where they play!
Six years!!
Stop with the but it’s not fair BS! If anything isn’t fair it’s the fact that players are drafted and owned for SIX FREAKING YEARS!!!

FLASHBACK: A fall 2016 profile from the local Twin Cities City Pages publication referred to Rep. Omar's father as "Nur Said Elmi Mohamed," before later changing it.
Per @realDSteinberg, classmates of "Ahmed N. Elmi," a graduate of high school in St. Paul, MN in 2003, claim he lived with the man identified as Ilhan Omar's father.
Leila Nur Said Elmi, the only such Elmi in the UK per Steinberg -- and Ahmed Nur Said Elmi's likely caretaker there when he was a child, lists "Nur Said Elmi" on her marriage certificate. Ilhan Omar's father was friends with her on Facebook.
Deleted pictures on social media put Ilhan Omar alongside what appears to be Leila Elmi, and Ilhan's father, in 2011 in Kenya.
Ilhan Omar appeared next to Leila in 2015 in London, in a photograph with text superimposed over it reading "I heart my sisters," with hashtags #sisterhood and #londontrip in the caption.
A Leila Elmi appears to have accompanied Ilhan Omar on a trip to Washington, D.C. in Dec. 2016 during a visit in which Omar claimed she was harassed by a cabbie while traveling with her "sister."
In 2013, Ilhan Omar wished "Nur Said" a happy Father's Day, only to delete it in Sept. 2019.
That same year, Omar celebrated the formation of Jubaland, a Somali state. Also that year, the congresswoman's brother-in-law, and a "Nur Said Elmi Mohamed," signed an open letter from the St. Anthony, Minnesota-based Jubaland Foundation regarding the formation of the state.
Somali naming convention says that if Nur Said Elmi Mohamed was the father, his children's names would end in "Nur Said Elmi."
So if he he had a son named Ahmed, Ahmed's full name would be Ahmed Nur Said Elmi.
If he had a daughter named Ilhan, her name would be Ilhan Nur Said Elmi.
Make of all that what you will in light of how the federal government refers to Omar as "Ilhan Nur Said Elmi."
All of this and more is covered in my book, American Ingrate. amazon.com/American-Ingrate-…
