As the Gateway Pundit reported earlier today, thousands of non-citizen voters were discovered in New Jersey, allegedly due to a software error.

This is one of those problems that Democrats assure us never happens. It’s one of the main reasons that conservatives want congress to pass the SAVE America Act.

Over on CNN, Jake Tapper responded to the news today by saying that this is ‘not good news for Democrats.’

Jake Tapper has repeatedly brushed off any and all of the concerns from Trump and other conservatives about voter fraud and election integrity.

President Trump brought up the MUSKEGON, MICHIGAN 2020 coordinated election fraud scheme – buried by Biden admin – during his address to the country on Thursday.

This massive ballot registration scandal was first reported by The Gateway Pundit in August 2023 thanks to Michigan activists who tipped us off to this massive voter registration scandal.

The Gateway Pundit showed that a left-wing outfit named GBI Strategies was attempting to fraudulently register up to 10,000 voters in a city with only 30,000 people.

This report on systemic voter fraud in the 2020 election has never been refuted or debunked; it was simply ignored and suppressed by legacy media. The blithe answer from Michigan’s corrupt far-left Attorney General is that they ‘referred it to the FBI.‘

It was deliberately buried under layers of AUSAs, FBI supervisors, DOJ Public Integrity Section (PIN) officials, redactions, and bureaucratic fingerprints.

That’s less of an investigative timeline and more of a federal version of:

Typical fed political BS, close it, reopen it, reconsider it, consult headquarters, request another memorandum, and hope everyone eventually forgets why the file existed in the first place.

We also know that 65% of GBI Strategies registrations that were turned into the Muskegon clerk were fraudulent registrations.

...This agent spent four years trying to move the investigation forward while the supervisory and prosecutorial machinery repeatedly kept driving stakes in its heart.

A small village in Oxfordshire, England, has drawn inspiration from the United States and has voted in favour of holding a referendum to secede from the United Kingdom over government plans to dump over a thousand supposed asylum seekers in their midst.

The leafy Oxfordshire village of Piddington has found itself at the epicentre of the battle against the Westminster establishment’s open borders ethos after the Home Office recently announced that it would be converting a former Ministry of Defence storage facility on the outskirts of town into an asylum seeker accommodation that is set to house some 1,250 “single adult males”, many of whom likely arrived in the country illegally on small boats across the English Channel before claiming asylum once on British soil.

While many other similar sites selected by the government to house migrants have seen locals rise up in protest, the parish council of Piddington has come up with a novel way to push back, holding a referendum on whether the village should secede from the country. Earlier this month, a meeting was held on the Fourth of July — on the 250th anniversary of America’s independence — to decide whether to hold a referendum. By a margin of 178 to 7, the residents backed the idea of holding such a vote.

According to a Daily Mail report, residents are currently debating whether to seek independence as a principality or petition the U.S. to become the 51st state.

McNally added that if the village votes in favour of seceding from the UK, they will send a delegation to the American Embassy for talks, saying: “We want President Trump to know about this.”

One local woman told Sky News that if the proposed asylum site goes ahead as planned, there would be 50 men per every nine women in the area.

Why does the price of healthcare keep going up? We all pay, whether in rising insurance premiums, out-of-pocket charges, higher taxes, or both private and public debt. Yet now a simple idea—price transparency—could bring costs under control.

The biggest single driver of rising healthcare costs are hospitals, which account for nearly a third of healthcare spending. Add in physicians and clinics and you’re over half. One thing these providers often have in common is a reluctance to provide real prices before patients make treatment decisions.

Americans shop and compare prices for every other purchase. Why, for medical care, are we kept in the dark?

Politicians have been talking about healthcare reform for decades. They passed the so-called Affordable Care Act, which actually pushed prices up while trying to hide them with taxpayer-funded subsidies. Other measures—often highly complex reforms—have done little, at best. Yet today, the very simple idea of price transparency is gaining support from thoughtful members of both political parties.

All this reform asks is that we get to know what things costs.

Price tags are protection from surprise billing. They also let patients compare and often save money. 

I’ve seen it myself. Last year, my doctor recommended a minor outpatient surgery. Many Americans have been conditioned to do whatever a doctor says, then cross their fingers hoping insurance will foot most of the bill. This lets doctors and hospitals charge more and more, and then blame insurance when premiums inevitably go up.

Instead, I asked for a price. The doctor’s hospital gave me an “estimate” of more than $10,000. Yet when I reached out to our local surgical center, their guaranteed price was $3,200.

Why do hospitals hide prices? My story makes it clear, and it isn’t complicated: when prices are hidden, prices go up.

Healthcare providers often claim to publish prices when really providing almost useless data. Patients shouldn’t need an economics or computer science degree to decipher healthcare prices. 

...Congress should require healthcare executives to certify the completeness and accuracy of their pricing data and establish consequences for violating the law. After all, patients are held accountable for medical bills—healthcare executives should be held accountable for publishing accurate prices.

Congress has an opportunity to stop nibbling the edges of price transparency and actually do it—delivering simple, powerful healthcare reform. This is about changing the culture in American healthcare, for medical providers, insurance purchasers, and patients. Hidden prices always become higher prices.

Americans need more than vague promises of transparency in healthcare. We need price tags.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he’s desperately seeking a legal loophole to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for alleged war crimes when he visits in NYC in September.

The Pro-Palestine, Israel-hating, socialist pol said in an interview published Saturday that it’s unclear whether he has the authority to order the NYPD to arrest Netanyahu during the prime minister’s expected trip to the Big Apple for the UN General Assembly – but is in an “active conversation” with the city’s Law Department about the matter.

“I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in The Hague,” Mamdani bluntly told The New York Times, referring to the United Nations’ International Court of Justice.

Mamdani – who has made accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza a focal point of a far-left ideology that has helped propel him into the national spotlight  – vowed during last year’s campaign that, if elected mayor, he’d have Netanyahu arrested if he ever set foot in NYC.

He cited the International Criminal Court’s 2024 arrest warrant for Netanyahu — which the U.S. doesn’t recognize.

Netanyahu, however, remains unfazed by Mamdani’s threats.

The US State Department on Saturday issued a Worldwide Caution alert for US citizens, citing “heightened tensions in the Middle East."

“Due to heightened tensions in the Middle East, the security environment remains complex with the potential for unforeseen escalation," the alert stated. 

“We remind Americans in the region of the continued need for caution and encourage them to monitor the news for breaking developments. The Department of State advises Americans worldwide, and especially in the Middle East, to exercise increased caution," it added.

US citizens abroad were urged to “follow the guidance in security alerts issued by the nearest US embassy or consulate."

A lifelong Democrat who served on President Bill Clinton’s National Security Council and in the State Department under Madeleine Albright is issuing a stark warning that every American needs to hear.

Jamie Metzl, a human rights and civil rights advocate with deep roots in the Democrat Party establishment, took to X on Saturday and declared that the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) represent a clear and present danger, not just to his party, but to America.

According to Metzl, this is a highly coordinated, dangerous strategy by a small group of radical extremists who are actively working to hijack the Democrat Party, crash our economy, and completely dismantle our American system of government.

Look at what Metzl posted in his devastating exposé:

"This is not a story about a few idealists seeking to reduce healthcare costs. It is about a small group of radical extremists pursuing a strategy to take over the Democratic Party and ultimately our country in order to impose an agenda that would devastate our economy and fundamentally dismantle our system of government.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Gustavo Gordillo went on national television and openly defended the DSA’s radical platform while demonstrating a shocking ignorance of basic American government.

He called the United States Senate an “undemocratic institution” because it gives equal representation to smaller states and large ones, revealing he does not even understand the fundamental difference between the Senate and the House of Representatives.

The DSA’s official “Workers Deserve More” platform, which The Gateway Pundit has extensively documented, calls for:

• Eliminate the U.S. Senate.
• Replace the President with an executive chosen by Congress.
• Replace the Supreme Court with a judiciary subordinate to Congress.
• Grant universal amnesty to all illegal aliens.
• Defund the Department of Defense (which the platform refers to as the “Department of War”).
• Close overseas U.S. military bases.
• End American economic sanctions against foreign adversaries.
• Abolish what it calls the “carceral forces of the capitalist state,” including sweeping police and prison reforms.

If implemented, these proposals would fundamentally transform the American system of government by eliminating the constitutional separation of powers established by the Founding Fathers.

The DSA has become increasingly influential inside Democrat politics, with many of its members and allies winning elected office at the local, state, and federal levels.
