Hundreds of thousands of absentee ballots have been returned already in the important election for the next Wisconsin state Supreme Court Justice. Who is ensuring these ballots are secure and safeguarded?

A chart from a few days ago shows that on March 26 there were 408k absentee ballots returned in this week’s Supreme Court race.

This week we reported on absentee ballots being placed behind a black curtain in Milwaukee in the last election where observers not allowed behind.

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Milwaukee Central Count Facility Hid Absentee Ballot Processing in 2024 Behind a BLACK CURTAIN – Getting Ready to Do It Again!

Absentee ballots add so much risk to the election process because there is more time and space for them to be tampered with. With absentee ballots, the elongated time frame and massive area where absentee ballots are disbursed are virtually impossible to guarantee adequate safeguarding of ballots.

Absentee ballots add risk because:

Ballots are distributed by a third party (the USPS)
Ballots are sent out weeks ahead of the election
Ballots are received before the election day and must be stored and safeguarded
Signatures on ballot envelopes are the only form of identification and in some states the signature matching process is virtually ignored

In Wisconsin the big question in this election and past elections is who is safeguarding the ballots? Where are the ballots being held and who is guaranteeing that they have not been tampered with since they were received by election personnel.

Why are observers or cameras not in place to ensure the absentee ballots are not tampered with?

If the good people of Wisconsin wanted to ensure a valid election they would ensure all the ballots received from this point forward are safeguarded and eliminate absentee ballots in future elections. The risks are too high.

Hopefully, it’s not too late.

House Minority Speaker Hakeem Jeffries just said the quiet part out loud about the upcoming election in Wisconsin.

During a Democratic National Committee update broadcaster on Friday afternoon, Jeffries talked with DNC Chair Ken Martin about the importance of Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election on Tuesday.

Jeffries explained:

In Wisconsin, that’s a 50-50 race, because we know Wisconsin’s a 50-50 state, and we have a strong Democratic candidate. Whoever wins is going to determine who has the majority in the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

Why is that important? Because there are gerrymandered congressional lines right now in Wisconsin. Wisconsin’s a 50-50 state, as I mentioned, but there are six Republicans and only two Democrats out of an eight-person delegation, because the lines are broken.

And as soon as possible, we need to be able to revisit that and have fair lines. The only way for that to be even a significant possibility is if you have an enlightened Supreme Court. And so I think that’s an incredibly important race.

Watch the clip below:

Wisconsin is one of the few states whose Supreme Court judges are elected via public ballot.

Though officially nonpartisan, the race will shape the ideological balance of the Supreme Court, which currently has a 4-3 liberal majority following Justice Janet Protasiewicz’s victory in 2023.

If a liberal majority is maintained, Democrats will have the opportunity to gerrymander congressional districts, eliminate all abortion restrictions, and block any conservative legislation passed by a future Republican-controlled state legislature.

However, Democrats are already gearing up for potential election fraud in the knowledge that it will be easier to get away with than the presidential election.

Just this week, an election watchdog found that 5,000 voter registrations in the heavily Democratic city of Milwaukee have been legally challenged for irregularities, potential fraud, and blatant violations of state and federal law.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (R-TX) is coming under renewed fire for a racist attack on Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) and his family during a past interview on the Breakfast Club podcast with Charlemagne tha God.

Crockett egregiously accused Donalds of being “whitewashed” because he is married to a White woman. “I feel like they give him his talking points, and he’s like, yes, massa, I got it,” she said.

The two also attacked Donalds and lied about his past comments on black families, accusing him of saying “life was better under Jim Crow.” However, Donalds never said this. Last year, Donalds came under fire from the Democrats for noting that Black people were more conservative before the government’s welfare system and other liberal policies that hurt the black family.

This is not the only time Crockett has shown that she hates other races.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, last month, Crockett went on CNN and condemned “white boys,” saying she’s “tired of the white tears” while defending DEI. She also falsely claimed that white people “commit 80% of the most violent crimes in this country.”

Jasmine Crockett Goes on Racist DEI Rant on CNN: “I am tired of the white tears… The only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys”

In another racist tirade, this time against Hispanics, she said that Hispanics belong “workin’ the fields” and implied that black people are better than Hispanics.

Crockett has further accused the Hispanic community of having a “slave mentality” and being “barely able to vote.”

This time, she’s disqualifying Byron Donalds as a Black person

A cocky, violent anti-DOGE agitator picked a fight with the wrong guy at a protest that has since gone viral on social media.

Comedian Danny Mullen posted a video on YouTube showing his activities at a sizeable anti-Tesla demonstration in Palo Alto, California earlier this month. He showed up to the protest wearing a DOGE shirt and pro-Trump hat, seeing these individuals as perfect targets for his comedy routine.

Throughout the video, Mullen provides commentary explaining his thought process during his time in enemy territory.

At first, the protesters reacted to his presence peacefully, with most understanding that Mullen was trolling them. But things turn dark when Mullen comes face-to-face with a middle-aged bearded man who walks up to him as the comedian argues with a few agitators.

The man starts mocking Mullen with a hick accent, saying, “Sir, we have tiny d*cks, and that’s why we support this sh*t!” He slaps Mullen in the face, knocking off the comedian’s hat.

“Little b**ch!” he taunts.

Mullen cuts away from the fight footage to explain his martial arts experience. He said that at that moment, he was trying to decide how to handle the situation “artfully.”

He first decides to use equal force and slaps the grinning thug back in self-defense, but this does not deter the agitator.

“To quote King Theoden (a Lord of the Rings Character): So it begins,” Mullen says in his commentary.

The bearded man walks toward him, and the two begin grappling. Then, Mullen grabs the thug around the neck and delivers a clean, painful takedown.

“The hit, the ‘little b**ch, the grin, the grabbing me; it made me think he wants combat, and I better get him to the ground so I don’t get hit again,” Mullen says while explaining his perfectly defensible action. “Jiu-jitsu is based on the idea that if your opponent is standing, he can put his full body into his strike and generate enough force to knock you out.”

“But once you get him to the ground, it’s over,” he continues. “I’m a brown belt, so it’s possible one day I find myself on the ground with a black belt and get out grappled. But as a rule, people who know how to fight don’t start fights.

The Tesla protester clearly had no clue and responded to the takedown by biting Mullen. However, the experienced jit-jitsu practitioner utilized a triangle choke, a highly effective submission where the attacker uses their legs to encircle their opponent’s neck and one arm. This creates a figure-four shape and constricts blood flow to the opponent’s brain.

Tesla protesters tell Mullen to “get the f**k off” their comrade while the comedian replies “he hit me.” The bearded man lies and says, “I hit your hat, dude.”

“If you want to, you can extinguish someone’s life with a triangle,” Mullen says in his commentary. “But for a situation like this, you put the guy on timeout.”

“He’s got to put him (the bearded man) to sleep,” an anti-Tesla protester is heard saying. Others try to desperately free their helpless fellow agitator from Mullen’s grasp to no avail.

Mullen then lets the man go, saying, “I’m not going to hurt him.” He explained in his commentary that his goal was catch and release from the beginning.

The South African Constitutional Court has rejected a lawsuit by civil rights org AfriForum against the song “Kill the Boer” as sung by the Marxist “Economic Freedom Fighters”, saying it has “no reasonable prospects of success.” The Trump administration has cut all aid and military assistance to South Africa over its blatantly racist and discriminatory laws.

According to the Sunday Times, the Trump administration has cut military assistance and cooperation with the South African National Defence Force (SANDF), expelling its military attache Brigadier Gen. Richard Maponyane. The paper cited a memo dated March 13 from the US State Department to Aaron Harding, the CFO of America’s Defense Security Co-operation Agency (DCSA). Any South African military personnel in the US for training will be sent back to South Africa ASAP, Business Insider reported.

The Trump administration announced it was suspending US aid to South Africa February 8 over its race-based expropriation law and persecution of ethnic minorities. South Africa’s US Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool was kicked out of the USA after accusing US President Donald Trump of leading a “global white supremacy movement.”

EFF leader Julius Malema called everyone who complains of a “white genocide” in South Africa “racist” and told them to leave the country on “Human Rights Day” March 21 before singing the “struggle song  Kill the Boer, Kill the Farmer with a crowd of 60,000 dancing supporters.

A 30-year old farmer was tortured to death by 3 men in police uniforms the next day.

In a post on X March 24, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio criticized the song: “Kill the Boer” is a chant that incites violence. South Africa’s leaders and politicians must take action to protect Afrikaner and other disfavored minorities. The United States is proud to offer those individuals who qualify for admission to our nation amid this continued horrible threat of violence,” Rubio wrote.

 

Civil rights organisation AfriForum, which is currently lobbying the Trump administration and Congress in Washington, condemned the decision to “legalize calls for the murder of Afrikaners and farmers.” AfriForum was appealing against two previous rulings that legalized the singing of “Kill the Boer” (The Gateway Pundit reported).

In his book “Kill the Boer: Government Complicity in South Africa’s Brutal Farm Murders“, author Ernst Roets has demonstrated how singing of the song “Kill the Boer” at rallies coincides with spikes in farm murders.

AfriForum CEO Kallie Kriel said that after the end of Apartheid 1994, the impression was created that the Constitutional Court would protect human rights –  including the human rights of Afrikaners. “After this shocking court ruling, we see that this is no longer the case. We are seeing an increasing radical implementation of the Constitution. We see an increase in ideologically driven judges. However, we are not going to become discouraged. We take clear notice of this – we also take notice of the fact that President Cyril Ramaphosa and the government do not want to condemn the statements of ‘Kill the Boer’,” Kriel said.

AfriForum said it will reinforce local community watch intitatives and instructed its legal team to investigate the various international platforms through which it can continue its legal action. “Having exhausted all local legal remedies, AfriForum will now continue its fight internationally,” AfriForum stated.

“This internationalization will involve more than just taking legal action. It will also include an intensified effort to draw the attention of international authorities and opinion leaders to the fact that according to South African courts, it is acceptable to encourage the murder of Afrikaners and farmers, while President Cyril Ramaphosa and his government refuse to condemn these calls for violence,” Kriel said.

The Democratic Alliance (DA) party called the court decision “unacceptable and divisive.”

“The inflammatory “Kill the Boer” chant has no place in our society, regardless of any legal ruling on its constitutionality. The fact that this song continues to be sung by Julius Malema and other political figures is deeply troubling and unacceptable,” the DA stated, noting the song “incites violence, stokes hatred, and deepens divisions within our society. We should be working towards unity and healing, and songs like this only serve to deepen the rifts that still exist in our country.”

Writing on Visegrad24, AfriForum spokesman Ernst van Zyl noted that “South Africa’s government is turning race into a weapon, and it’s destroying the nation from within. Jobs, aid, even basic services are all being sacrificed on the altar of racial dogma.”

“Both President Donald Trump and Elon Musk recently called out the South African government for its threats to private property and its many race-based laws – and rightly so,” Ernst van Zyl wrote. “For decades, the African National Congress (ANC) has steadily imposed an ever-growing set of race-driven policies while openly threatening citizens with expropriation without compensation.”

Van Zyl accused the ruling ANC’s of “racially discriminatory policies … dating as far back as the 1990s … carefully packaged in flowery language,” such as the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment race quotas.

Van Zyl called “South Africa’s obsession with race-based policies no secret – it’s a matter of record.”

AfriForum compiled comprehensive reports in 2020 and 2022 detailing the government’s racially discriminatory policies, Van Zyl noted.

Martin van Staden, Head of Policy at the Free Market Foundation, has documented more than 141 race-based laws still in force today, Van Zyl wrote. Nearly 37% (116+) were introduced after 1994.

“The ANC continues to cynically attempt to direct everyone’s eyes to the rear-view mirror, while simultaneously championing its own laundry list of race laws. Its twisted reasoning boils down to digging a new pothole to fill an old one. Fortunately, leaders like Donald Trump appear not to be falling for their twisted narrative anymore,” wrote Van Zyl.

The last few years have been tumultuous for retirement portfolios. On one hand, the stock market has seen tremendous gains. On the other hand, the so-called “bubble burst” seems to be just around the corner as President Donald Trump shifts our economic focus to tariffs, precious metals, lower taxes, and cryptocurrencies.

Promises of huge foreign investments from companies and even entire nations will help to rejuvenate the business sector after four years under Joe Biden’s lose-lose economic policy, but so too will debt continue to be an issue. This is why many Americans have considered rebalancing their portfolios to prepare for the necessary turbulence ahead.

On physical precious metals company, Genesis Gold Group, has remained steadfast in their support of customers because of one major differentiator. As a faith-driven company, they believe financial stewardship and Biblical stewardship go hand-in-hand.

“We believe in President Trump’s vision for the economy because it’s based on the same values that we’ve always held,” said Jonathan Rose, CEO of Genesis Gold Group. “This is why our clients did so well through the Biden years and why they’ll do even better under President Trump.”

Gold and silver prices have been rising recently. This would normally run contrary to traditional thinking with a new Republican President, but Donald Trump is no ordinary Republican. His adherence to sound fiscal policies has bolstered precious metals prices just as it did in his first term when gold prices rose 51%.

It is becoming increasingly clear that the inflation-driven rise in the stock market during the Biden years may have presented a false positive about his economy. This is why it behooves Americans to consider rebalancing their portfolio sooner rather than later.

Sentebale’s Chairwoman Chandauka and Prince Harry in happier times.

After news arose that Prince Harry and co-founder Prince of Lesotho were resigning ‘with a heavy heart’ from the African AIDS charity Sentebale – created to honor his late mother Princess Diana – the organization’s Chairwoman has fired back, in a scathing attack against the Dukes of Sussex.

Sophie Chandauka accused Harry of trying to oust her after she complained of ‘harassment and bullying at scale’.

Chandauka told Sky News’s Trevor Phillips that she ‘became the problem’ after a whistleblower complaint, and that Prince Harry interfered in the investigation in a cover-up.

The Telegraph reported:

“In an apparent attempt to control the narrative after a series of briefings and counter-briefings, she told Sky: ‘The only reason I’m here is because at some point on Tuesday, Prince Harry authorized the release of a damaging piece of news to the outside world without informing me or my […] directors’.”

Another of Harry’s African charities also has had terrible problems.

While she alleged to have previously enjoyed a ‘great relationship’ with Harry, she also criticized him for ‘raising topics that were not on the agendas of meetings’, in an environment where everyone feared him.

The dispute over the charity’s governance appears to have started in a public embarrassment during a Sentebale charity polo match in Miami.

Images from the podium after the match showed Meghan appearing to tell Chandauka to move away from Harry, making her duck under the trophy to switch position.

This display of Meghan’s ‘personality’ generated bad publicity, and sources tell The Telegraph that the Sussexes were furious.

“’Ultimately, it comes down to that polo match and the awkward moment with Meghan moving her out the way’, the source said. ‘Harry then demanded that she make a statement to the press, basically saying ‘Meghan wasn’t mean to me’, and she refused to do that’.”

I would personally like to thank the Sussex Squad who originally shared this video on Instagram

After that, sources say Harry tried hard to get rid of her, ‘undermining her, demeaning her and trying and force her hand’.

Chandauka says the mishap originated when Meghan attended the event without warning the organizers.

“We would have been really excited [if] we knew ahead of time, but we didn’t, and so the choreography went badly on stage because we had too many people. The international press captured this, and there was a lot of talk about the Duchess and the choreography on stage and whether she should have been there and her treatment of me. Prince Harry asked me to issue some sort of a statement in support of the Duchess and I said I wouldn’t, not because I didn’t care about the Duchess, but because I knew what would happen if I did so, number one. And number two, because we cannot be an extension of the Sussexes.”

Watch: full interview.

That interview was absolutely dynamite and totally coherent. Dr. Sophie Chandauka comes across as a logical, rational, and brilliant woman who’s unfairly facing harassment for bravely standing up for what is right.

It’s evident that the governance at Sentebale fell short of… pic.twitter.com/OBc46YvkR6

The Zimbabwean lawyer threw more shade on Prince Harry by alleging that, after he left the UK for California, his brand’s ‘toxicity’ became the biggest threat to the future of the charity.

The Netflix documentary ‘Harry & Meghan’ and his memoir Spare, according to Chandauka, affected Sentebale’s ‘ability to attract new donors and make senior hires’.

The far-left law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom—the same firm that previously sued conservative filmmaker and commentator Dinesh D’Souza—has agreed to provide over $100 million in pro bono work for initiatives championed by the Trump administration.

Skadden becomes the second major legal powerhouse to strike a deal with the Trump administration following a wave of executive orders issued earlier this month.

President Trump ramps up pressure on law firms accused of serving as political weapons for the radical left—using their legal clout to push partisan agendas instead of upholding the rule of law.

The other firms in the crosshairs—Perkins Coie, Jenner & Block, and WilmerHale—have all filed federal lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of Trump’s executive actions. While liberal judges in D.C. have temporarily blocked enforcement against those firms, the message from the White House is clear: The days of partisan lawfare cloaked in privilege are over.

Earlier this month, President Trump rescinded an order against far-left Paul Weiss after the firm committed to $40 million in pro bono work aligned with Trump-backed initiatives. The precedent was set—and now Skadden has blinked.

The agreement with Skadden Arps includes not only the jaw-dropping $100 million in free legal work for Trump-endorsed policies and causes, but also a commitment to end any involvement in so-called ‘Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion’ hiring schemes—which the administration has labeled “illegal racial discrimination masquerading as progress.”

The announcement was made by President Trump on Truth Social Friday:

Today, President Donald J. Trump and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP announce the following agreement regarding a series of actions to be taken by Skadden:

1. Skadden will provide a total of at least $100 Million Dollars in pro bono Legal Services, during the Trump Administration and beyond, to causes that the President and Skadden both support, in relation to the following areas: Assisting Veterans and other Public Servants, including members of the Military, Law Enforcement, First Responders, and Federal, State, and Local Government Officials; ensuring fairness in our Justice System; and combatting Antisemitism. Skadden will change its pro bono policy so that all pro bono moving forward will be done in the Firm name. A pro bono Committee will be constituted to ensure that pro bono matters are consistent with the objectives of the program, and that pro bono activities represent the full political spectrum.

2. The Skadden Foundation will commit to the mission of providing pro bono Legal Services to a wide variety of deserving organizations and individuals. Skadden is committed to funding no fewer than five Skadden Fellows each year dedicated to the following projects: Assisting Veterans; ensuring fairness in our Justice System; combatting Antisemitism, and other similar types of projects. Law Graduates that receive Skadden Fellowships will represent a wide range of political views, including conservative ideals.

3. Skadden affirms its commitment to merit-based hiring, promotion, and retention. Accordingly, the Firm will not engage in illegal DEI discrimination and preferences. Skadden will engage independent outside counsel to advise the Firm to ensure employment practices are fully compliant with Law, including, but not limited to, anti-discrimination Laws.

4. Skadden will not deny representation to clients, such as members of politically disenfranchised groups, who have not historically received legal representation from major National Law Firms, including in pro bono matters, and in support of non-profits, because of the personal political views of individual lawyers.

Statement From the White House: “Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP approached President Trump and his Administration, and declared the Firm’s strong commitment to ending the Weaponization of the Justice System and the Legal Profession. The President will never stop fighting to deliver on his promises of eradicating partisan Lawfare in America, and restoring Liberty & Justice for ALL.”

Statement From Skadden Executive Partner, Jeremy London: “Skadden is pleased to have achieved a successful agreement with President Trump and his Administration. We engaged proactively with the President and his team in working together constructively to reach this agreement. The Firm looks forward to continuing our productive relationship with President Trump and his Admin. We firmly believe that this outcome is in the best interests of our clients, our people, and our Firm.”

According to Reuters, “Skadden, a top Wall Street law firm, has represented clients including JPMorgan, Citigroup, Barclays, and Johnson & Johnson.”

This same firm also filed a defamation lawsuit against conservative filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza.

D’Souza has publicly criticized Skadden, stating, “Skadden Arps is the firm engaged in systematic lawfare against “2000 Mules.” They have a army of 17 attorneys working pro-bono against me. I have 2 lawyers. The Left’s game is to ruin us through protracted, costly litigation.”

Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team recently appeared on Fox News’ “Special Report with Bret Baier”, marking their first major group interview.

During the hour-long discussion, Musk, alongside seven key team members, defended their ambitious goal of cutting $1 trillion from the federal deficit, claiming they are already slashing $4 billion daily from government spending.

The team, including figures like Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia and longtime Musk associate Steve Davis, emphasized modernizing government systems, with Gebbia proposing an “Apple Store-like experience” for federal services like easier updated retirement processing.

Musk addressed criticisms about disruptions to agencies like Social Security, asserting that their work would ultimately benefit legitimate recipients by reducing fraud.

The interview revealed for the first time ever voices on the DOGE team working for the American people. While Democrats claim DOGE is stealing from Americans, it’s actually the opposite, they are working to make sure American’s are not stolen from.
