ack Smith's cases investigating Trump's attempts to challenge the 2020 election are falling apart. And now he's stepping down from his position as special counsel before Trump takes office.

The new attorney general needs to dig into this and find out who exactly was responsible for it. They did everything possible to affect the election and to destroy Trump's life.

While the obsession with putting Trump behind bars was obvious from the start, Smith had been hyper-focused on Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election — which is a perfectly normal thing for a candidate to do.

A candidate has every right to try and challenge an election, which means to overturn it. That's exactly what's going on in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania today at the behest of Chuck Schumer with their slip and fall lawyer Mark Elias.

There is speculation on my side of the world that AOC will run for the Democratic nomination for president in 2028. I could see her doing well with young white libtards.

In contrast to Democratic officials from around the country who have promised to protect illegal aliens, a couple sheriffs have come forward and offered to assist with mass deportations after President-elect Donald Trump takes office next month.

For Richard Jones, the sheriff of Butler County, Ohio, such assistance is nothing new. In fact, Jones, a 71-year-old Republican who was just elected to a sixth term, had partnered with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement during the administrations of George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Trump.

He paused that partnership during the Biden administration but says, "Now, we're back."

"We're preparing cells and space as we speak," Jones told the Cincinnati Enquirer. "Day after the election, we started preparing."

Sheriff Chuck Jenkins (R) of Frederick County, Maryland, expressed similar sentiments to the Wall Street Journal. "I'm willing to support the president 100%," Jenkins, 68, said, referring to Trump. "I want to do more, within the law."

Donald Trump officially flipped Lake County, California, one month after the November 5 election. Trump's electoral win in Lake County is the latest indication of the landslide victory he enjoyed in the 2024 cycle.

Trump became the first Republican presidential candidate to win the popular vote in two decades, even sweeping all seven swing states. The last candidate to win all battlegrounds was former President Ronald Reagan in 1984.

Trump also flipped over 50 counties this cycle while Vice President Kamala Harris failed to flip any in her favor. Of those counties that flipped in Trump's favor, roughly half of them had not voted for a Republican presidential candidate this century. Trump also managed to shift every single state toward Republicans. Roughly 300 counties shifted more Democratic, without any actually flipping blue, while over 2,600 shifted more Republican.

"The data suggests that this was more than simply a decisive victory for Donald Trump," Len Foxwell, a Democratic strategist based in Maryland, told Blaze News. "It could actually be the beginnings of a Reagan-style political realignment if the Democrats don't make adjustments and do so in a hurry."

One of Trump's most notable flips was South Texas' Starr County, a predominantly Hispanic border county. This ended one of the longest Democratic voting streaks in history, with the county voting for a Democrat in every presidential election since 1896. Trump also made inroads with Latinos in Florida, enjoying a double-digit swing in Miami-Dade County compared to his results in 2020.

The downfall of the Democratic Party is largely because it demands a highly stringent form of political and social orthodoxy from its voters that has become incompatible with many moderates. Although Democrats have championed diversity of identity, the party has remained intellectually homogeneous, which is exclusionary by nature.

I would be richer than Musk because I would be finding and snitching on every illegal.

Missouri state Senator-elect David Gregory (R) pre-filed a bill on Tuesday that, if enacted, would award $1,000 to individuals who turn in illegal aliens.

Senate Bill 72 would create a state-level crime of trespass by an illegal alien, which stipulates that an individual is guilty of the offense if he or she knowingly enters Missouri, remains, and is present "at the time a licensed bounty hunter or peace officer apprehends the person."
