The death penalty is a wrong that can't be made right. We are now seeing or hearing of its horrors. Usually we shield ourselves from them. Tonight, I pray for Christa Pike that she be spared any further violence inflicted in our name

If Jack Smith was really up to no good and secretly colluding with Fani Willis in Atlanta, I doubt he would risk being seen in public at a big sporting event while there. It's not very smart to assume Smith would take such a careless risk.

NEW: Trump's recently-blocked plan to restrict mail voting through USPS was supposed to be even more prohibitive. New reporting revealed that the scheme originally called for the delivery of mail ballots via certified mail, a USPS service requiring ballot recipients to sign for them at home.

On November 5, 2025, the Oregon GOP hosted it's annual gala event--the Reagan Dinner. One of the headline speakers was MMA star Chael Sonnen, who at the time was talking about running for governor as a Republican. Three months earlier, Chael bragged about how he was going to steal the election.
54:50 it's done. I have cheated an election and I know how to cheat an election. And the moment I found out that you could get away with this was the moment I found out I was going to be governor.
54:58 And I put the word out to all the other candidates. By the way, if you want to go waste your time and waste your money, go ahead. But I'm going to steal this election.
You've said I mean you're saying it now.
