Biden Health Chief Accused Of Campaigning For Harris On Taxpayer Dime

Published

on

With the Biden-Harris administration running the federal government as an extension of the Democratic National Committee, it’s no wonder that the Department of Health and Human Services pushed out what amounts to a pro-Kamala Harris political ad to potentially tens of millions of Medicare recipients 

Now a complaint is urging the Office of Special Counsel to investigate whether HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra and other federal employees ran afoul of an 85-year-old federal law that prohibits them from engaging in political campaigning on the job. 

”The email was entirely political in both its purpose and language, it was sent to citizens who are Medicare recipients from an official government email address and from an official department,” asserts the complaint, filed Monday by the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT). “This type of political advocacy from a government agency targeting citizens who interact with it is exactly the type of politicalization of government functions that the Hatch Act is designed to prevent.” 

On Sept. 28, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services sent out an email to Medicare recipients praising Vice President Kamala Harris for her involvement in the absurdly named Inflation Reduction Act. Estimated to cost as much as $1.2 trillion, the package funds a host of leftist pet climate change projects and other initiatives. Massive government spending has sent inflation soaring. 

The email on changes in Medicare prescription drug benefits, ostensibly written by President Joe Biden, proclaims that the “historic reforms are a result of the Inflation Reduction Act

Nevada Voters Overwhelmingly Approve Voter ID Amendment, Reject Ranked-Choice Voting

Published

on

Nevada voters are projected to pass a ballot amendment requiring eligible electors to present a form of photo ID when voting and reject a separate initiative seeking to bring ranked-choice voting to the state.

According to The New York Times, preliminary results show the Voter Identification Initiative (Question 7) passing with 73 percent of electors voting “yes” and 27 percent voting “no.” At the time of this article’s publication, approximately 78 percent of votes have been tabulated.

As The Federalist previously reported, Question 7 would require eligible voters to present a valid form of photo ID when voting in person. Those voting by mail would “have to verify their identity using the last four digits of their driver’s license or social security number or the number provided by the county clerk when the voter is registered to vote,” according to Ballotpedia.

In Nevada, constitutional amendment proposals produced by citizen-led signature collection campaigns must be passed by voters in two consecutive general elections to amend the state’s founding document. This year’s election will be the voter ID initiative’s first appearance on the ballot, which means it will need to be approved by voters during the state’s next general election to add it to the Nevada Constitution.

Meanwhile, Nevadans rejected Question 3, which sought to implement a top-five ranked-choice voting (RCV) scheme in the state’s elections.

Often referred to as “rigged-choice voting” by its critics, RCV is an election system in which voters rank candidates of all parties in order of preference. If no candidate

Democrat Media, Call The Race For Trump So We Can All Go To Bed

Published

on

As election night drags on, Donald Trump’s victory is imminent, and Kamala Harris’ path to one has vanished. The New York Times’ election “needle” shows Trump with a greater than 95 percent chance of winning. It all comes down to some of the so-called “blue wall” states Trump carried in 2016 — and he leads in them again. Corporate media are finally starting to acknowledge Trump’s Pennsylvania win, Fox News has put Wisconsin into Trump’s column, and Alaska hasn’t been called yet, meaning the race is over.

So why are so many voters still afraid to go to bed?

Democrat media won’t call the blue wall states of Wisconsin and Michigan, and they won’t call the race. Even though they know Trump will reach more than 270 votes they won’t concede official defeat.

But Americans are old enough to remember the last presidential election, which came down to the exact same states. In 2020, voters went to bed on election night or early Wednesday morning without final results but with Trump leading by comfortable margins in the key battleground states. Corporate networks wouldn’t call the race because of some outstanding ballots, but Republicans rested confidently, and for good reason.

In the middle of the night, however, things changed. In Wisconsin and Michigan, dead-of-night vote dumps went 100 percent for Joe Biden and zero percent — not a single ballot — for Trump, as my colleague John Daniel Davidson wrote at the time. In Michigan, ballot tickers brazenly posted 138,339 magic

2024’s Biggest Loser Is The Corporate Media Industrial Complex

Published

on

In the early hours of Wednesday morning, legacy news networks were already sliding toward 2016 levels of melting down about the increasingly definite prospect of a presidential victory by Donald J. Trump. For them, Harris’ stinging defeat is personal — because it’s just as much a defeat for them as it is for her.

The corporate media industrial complex has spent Donald Trump’s entire political career trying to destroy him. Hand-in-hand with triple-letter government agencies and Democrats, they ran a hoax painting Trump as a Russian stooge based on ridiculous rumors commissioned by his opponent’s campaign in 2016. They continued to spread the lie for the duration of his presidency, awarding each other Pulitzers for it. And they’ve only ramped up their efforts since then.

The problem they’re reckoning with tonight is this: those efforts didn’t work. They’re no longer able to control Americans by controlling their information intake, because their credibility is farther deep-sixed than the Clinton family’s enemies list.

A TV executive anonymously fretted last week that “If half the country has decided that Trump is qualified to be president, that means they’re not reading any of this media, and we’ve lost this audience completely. A Trump victory means mainstream media is dead in its current form.”

Even before the election results were in, that was true of the corporate press. Jeff Bezos knew it when he reportedly ordered The Washington Post to withhold an endorsement of Harris. But now, they can’t avoid it.

Since the last
