St. Johns County GOP Launches Election Fraud Investigation After Fake Voter Guides were Mailed to Confuse Voters Ahead of August Primary

by Jim Hᴏft Aug. 11, 2024 7:00 am29 Comments

The St. Johns County Republican Party (SJCRP) has sounded the alarm, claiming that fraudulent endorsement cards are being circulated ahead of the August primary.

These cards, which appear to be near-exact replicas of the legitimate GOP endorsements, have been mailed in an apparent attempt to confuse voters and sway the election.

“It’s a very close knockoff, but it’s fraudulent,” said Denver Cook, Chairman of the St. Johns County GOP per WOKV. “When you talk about election interference and election fraud, I don’t know how it could be worse than this.”

The fake endorsement cards list 8 candidates that directly contradict those endorsed by the St. Johns County GOP. According to Cook, this is a deliberate and malicious attempt to mislead voters and disrupt the integrity of the election.

“This is our real voter guide, you can see on the back side of it, we explain why we did, we have the required disclaimers on the bottom,” Cook said.

The Chairman has received over a dozen calls from concerned citizens, all of whom were confused by the fake mailers.

“To do this, it’s angering, frustrating and it concerns me about behavior when you talk voter intimidations, voter fraud, the level of anger that’s been produced,” he said.

Cook stated that they would never have sent anything from Jacksonville, according to News4Jax.

“You can see that it was mailed from Jacksonville on Aug. 7 with a stamp and no return address,” Cook said.

“We wouldn’t have mailed it from Jacksonville but additionally these cards aren’t prepared to be mailed. There’s no way for us to put a stamp or an address on them. The other thing is we don’t have.”

For Cook, this act is dirty politics, he called it “outright fraud and criminal.”

“I would call this beyond dirty politics. Dirty politics you would see the hate mail that comes out on individuals or attack pieces that are fabricated, based on a sliver of truth and blown up to be this whole thing. This is so far beyond that. This is outright fraud and criminal.”

Cook expressed deep concern over the motives behind these fake voter guides, which he believes were not only costly but also strategically crafted to undermine the party’s efforts.

“The first one that comes to mind is to try and offset the work we’re doing for political gain for people they’re supporting,” Cook said.

“The second is greed. I think when you look at trying to get certain people in certain positions that will vote in a way you need them to, people want that.”

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) has been notified, and Cook is determined to see justice served. If those responsible for this fraud are identified, Cook vows that they will face serious legal consequences.

“First of all, I think the people need to be held accountable for this criminally and civilly. And we as a party and chairman are going to pursue that as far as we can. The state party is already engaged as well.”

Evan Power, Chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, also weighed in on the matter, issuing a strong statement of support for the St. Johns County GOP.

Statement via WOKV:

“The Republican Party of Florida and the St. Johns County Republican Party are the only organizations qualified to speak officially on behalf of our party in St. Johns County. We are taking this matter very seriously and are investigating. No Florida voter should be misled by anonymous, phony groups pretending to speak for the GOP.”

Richard Finke, Chair of St. John’s Democratic Party released the following statement to News4Jax, distancing itself from the situation:

“The St. Johns Democratic Party has had nothing to do with or knowledge of these events until today’s reporting. We don’t know of any organizations or individuals who do. It appears to be evidence of continued Republican infighting between the Trump club and the REC, who have been at odds for a long time over endorsements.

We are saddened by the continued disregard of our country’s democracy here in Northeast Florida and the nation at large. Our Party does not endorse one Democrat over another in the primary process.

We want the people to decide and then we will back that choice in the General Election. St. John’s Democratic Party is strongly united and focused on electing Democrats up and down the ballot. We welcome all Republicans and NPAs to join us in electing Kamala Harris as the next President of these United States.”

Early voting is scheduled from August 10th to August 17th, with Election Day set for August 20th, 2024.

Bombshell: FBI Itself Allowed Would-Be Trump Killer Into Country, Said He Was ‘Polite’

 

by Joe Saunders, The Western Journal Aug. 10, 2024 10:00 am17 Comments

 

 

Do Americans have any reason to trust the FBI?

The once-vaunted reputation of the Federal Bureau of Investigation has been in tatters for years among conservatives — since well before its deep-state warfare against Donald Trump and his supporters became public knowledge.

But a report this week about the bureau’s dealings with a man arrested in July in a potential Trump assassination plot linked to Iran just made things a good deal worse.

According to Just the News, FBI counterterrorism agents interviewed Pakistani national Asif Raza Merchant in April when he landed at George Bush International Airport in Houston.

“The immigration records from his arrival in Houston on April 13 clearly stated in bright red that he was flagged by the Department of Homeland Security database with the identifier ‘WATCH LIST and denoted as a ‘Lookout Qualified Person of Interest,'” Just the News reported.

Nonetheless, he was allowed into the country on a special parole, Just the News reported.

Maybe it was because he was just an oh-so-smooth talker. The agents who interviewed Merchan found him “polite and cooperative throughout encounter,” Just the News reported, quoting an FBI interview memo.

Or maybe it was because the FBI planned to keep an eye on him, using him as unwitting bait to maybe catch bigger fish in the subterranean sea of terror networks.

That’s how unnamed FBI sources framed it, according to Just the News. But they also pointed out the obvious dangers of simply letting dangerous individuals go free on the expectation that the benefits gained in surveillance would more than make up for any potential hazards.

It’s playing with fire — and in the real world, innocent people get burned.

The sources cited the Obama-era operation known as “Fast and Furious,” in which a plan to trace illegal guns ended up turning into a deadly fiasco, with more than 1,000 weapons disappearing — presumably into the hands of criminals. Two of those guns were found near the scene of the 2010 murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.

The Merchant case hasn’t come with any corpses — at least not that have been publicized so far — so that’s something.

But the fact that the FBI would consider it a worthy risk to allow a known terror suspect, with known ties to Iran — a terrorist-run nation that has been at war with the United States since 1979 — beggars belief.

Or rather, it would beggar belief if the country hadn’t been treated for years to the spectacle of an agency that has exchanged a reputation for stellar law enforcement to become known as an ideologically driven organization.

Americans who follow the news these days see more about an FBI committed to stomping on conservatives — say, parents who speak out at school board meetings — than about an agency battling criminals or the country’s enemies.

Much of the bureau’s current reputational problems no doubt stem from the days of former Director James Comey, who was fired by Trump in 2017. Comey was behind the smearing of retired Gen. Michael Flynn, Trump’s first national security advisor.

He was the FBI director who helped establish the “Russia collusion” hoax that bedeviled Trump’s presidency.

He was the director who employed FBI Agent Peter Strzok and his lover, FBI attorney Lisa Page, the infamous couple who cashed in their “insurance policy” against Trump winning the presidency by attempting to frame him as a stooge of the Kremlin, and getting millions of Americans to believe it.

In 2019, as NBC News reported at the time, the Justice Department Inspector General issued a report declaring that Comey had violated both Justice Department and FBI policy by his actions after Trump fired him, including keeping official memos he wrote while FBI director and giving one of them to a friend, who in turn leaked it to The New York Times. Those were the kind of games Comey played in American politics.

But the FBI since Comey’s departure clearly hasn’t proven itself to be reformed from those dark days.

Director Christopher Wray, the man Trump appointed to replace Comey, has been a disappointment known more for evasive answers to Republican senators and representatives than he is for being a new broom that sweeps clean.

And now a reputable news source is reporting that the FBI allowed a man with known terror ties into the country, only to arrest him three months later on charges of organizing an Iranian-backed plot to kill the 45th president.

Merchant was arrested July 12, according to a Justice Department news release — one day before Trump narrowly survived an assassination attempt at a campaign rally.

That isn’t to suggest there was any link between Merchant and Trump’s would-be assassin in Butler, Pennsylvania, but it does highlight how dangerous threats are.

If the FBI was playing Merchant for a dupe, it was playing with fire.

And no American who’s followed the news over the past decade should even trust this agency’s leadership with a pack of matches.

THIS SHOULD FINISH THE TIM WALZ POLITICAL CAREER: Picture Unearthed of Walz Holding “Enduring Freedom Veteran” Protest Sign – He Never Served in Operation Enduring Freedom – IT WAS ALL A LIE

by Jim Hoft Aug. 10, 2024 8:30 am269 Comments

A bombshell revelation has surfaced this week that could mark the end of Tim Walz’s political career. A photo, recently unearthed, shows Walz holding a protest sign reading “Enduring Freedom Veterans for Kerry” during a 2004 anti-George Bush rally in Mankato, Minnesota.

The problem? Walz never served in Operation Enduring Freedom, and his claims of doing so have been exposed as a lie that has persisted for nearly 20 years.

The photograph, taken by Michael B. Brodkorb, was captured on August 4, 2004, as Walz protested outside a campaign rally for President Bush in Mankato, Minnesota.

Tim Walz has consistently portrayed himself as “a veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom,” the U.S. military operation in Afghanistan initiated after the September 11 attacks.

However, it has come to light that Walz never deployed to Afghanistan, nor did he engage in any combat operations during his military career. His service was primarily in Italy, where he supported NATO forces but did not see action in the Middle East, Free Beacon reported.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported on a 2007 video of Tim Walz falsely claiming he deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.

“I spent 24 years in the National Guard, some of that full-time. I was an artilleryman. I deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. My battalion provided base security throughout the European theater from Turkey to England in the early stages of the war in Afghanistan. And that same battalion is now in Iraq at this time,” Walz said in 2007 on CSPAN.

Read more:

Then, another video from 2009 also resurfaces, showing Iraq War veteran David Thul confronting Walz’s aides at his Mankato office regarding these claims. Thul, armed with knowledge and evidence, filmed the encounter and pointed out that Walz’s assertions could be interpreted as violations of the Stolen Valor Act.

During this confrontation, Thul informed Walz's aides that such misrepresentations could lead to jail time.

Thul presented evidence indicating that while Walz served in a supportive role, he did not serve in Afghanistan or engage in any combat actions. One aide admitted she was "not aware" of Walz serving in Afghanistan.

Thul went on to present the 2004 photo of Walz, holding a sign that says "Enduring Freedom Veterans for Care," to another aide, who acknowledged that constituents could get the false impression that Walz served in Afghanistan.

Read more:

David Thul shared this photo in a blog post in 2009 detailing his concerns about Walz’s military record.

“My congressman, who publically attacked an Iraq War veteran for questioning his service, held a sign in 2004 claiming to be an Afghanistan War veteran. Even having an already low opinion of Tim Walz, I still couldn't believe my eyes. Tim Walz held a sign at a protest outside a President Bush campaign rally (the very same rally he claims to have had his conversion at) claiming to be an "Enduring Freedom Veterans for Kerry."

There are two medals that have been awarded to soldiers who served in Operation Enduring Freedom-the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal (authorized by Executive Order on March 13, 2003) and the Afghanistan Campaign Medal (authorized by Congress on May 28, 2004). Congressman Walz does not qualify to wear either one.

Yet in this photo taken by Michael Brodkorb on his way to the Mankato Bush rally and posted last year on Minnesota Democrats Exposed, then National Guardsman Command Sergeant Major Tim Walz claimed to be a veteran of a war he didn't fight in.

Remember, Tim Walz's statement is that he re-enlisted after Sep 11, 2001 for 4 more years and did not retire until he decided to run for Congress (some time after this picture was taken). So he was almost certainly still a member of the MN National Guard when he held this fraudulent sign.

So the question becomes, how wrong is this? How bad is it to claim to be an Operation Enduring Freedom veteran when you are not? Reference the Stolen Valor Act of 2005:

False Claims About Receipt of Military Medals- Whoever falsely represents himself or herself, verbally or in writing, to have been awarded any decoration or medal authorized by Congress for the armed forces of the United States, or any of the service medals or badges awarded to the members of such forces, or the ribbon, button, or rosette of any such badge, decoration or medal, or any colorable imitation thereof shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.' (Emphasis mine)

As my kids would say, "Ruh Roh Raggy".

Fortunately for Congressman Walz, the Stolen Valor Act wasn't passed until January of 2006. But there is no way for Congressman Walz to spin this photo or explain his way out of it. He claimed in writing to be an Enduring Freedom vet and he is not.

VIDEO: The Debate Is Over — CNN Airs Investigation that Confirms Tim Walz Is Stolen Valor Fraud

by Jim Hoft Aug. 10, 2024 8:00 am27 Comments

CNN lays out the details of Tim Walz and his Stolen Valor scandal.

CNN settled the debate about Governor Tim Walz and his alleged stolen valor scandal. The far-left channel ran a 10-minute investigation on Governor Walz, his time in the service, his abandoning his men after their deployment notice, and Tim later lying about his service in the Iraq War.

Mike Cernovich called the segment “absolutely devastating” and confirmed that CNN actually debunked all of the lies spread by Walz and his Democrat defenders.

“Absolutely devastating and it debunks all of the lies spread by Tim Walz’s defenders. I want him on the ticket as VP. The conversation is over. Tim Walz is a deployment dodging stolen valor fraud!” he wrote on X.

CNN host Laura Coates brought in retired Command Sergeant Major Doug Julien to discuss Walz and his record. Julien previously accused Walz of letting “his troops down” and going over his head to secure his retirement after decades of service in May 2005, a few months before the battalion was given a mobilization order to deploy to Iraq.

Julien’s testimony provides a stark contrast to the narrative Walz has long promoted, revealing a troubling pattern of deceit and self-serving decisions that have cast a shadow over his military legacy.

According to Julien, Walz, who filed paperwork for his Congressional bid in February 2005, deliberately went above his superior’s head to retire just as his unit was preparing for deployment to Iraq.

Julien revealed that in the fall of 2004, his brigade was informed of an upcoming deployment to Iraq, and the unit was in the process of preparing for the mission.

By February 2005, Walz was already laying the groundwork for his political career, notifying Julien of his intent to run for Congress but assuring him he would still deploy with his unit.

However, in a move that Julien described as a “backdoor process,” Walz retired in May 2005—just two months before his unit received deployment orders. Julien claims that Walz knew about the scheduled deployment and violated military protocol by seeking retirement approval from someone higher up, bypassing Julien entirely.

“The issue that came out of this was, first of all, how did Tim Walz quit without discussing it with me? Because I was his next level of leadership or responsibility or supervisor,” said Julien.

“The real thing is, at the level that he held at time, which could have been either a first sergeant, but he was conditionally promoted to a Command Sergeant Major, he knew the rules or the policies or the procedures and the manner of how to address issues going forward.”

“If this would have been an early entry, low-level ranking individual, different story. We would have understood that, okay, he didn’t understand the processes and the procedures. Tim Walz knew the processes and the procedures. He went around me and above and beyond me and went and basically went to get somebody to back him to get him out of there without… It was just a backdoor process that he handled against me or against the battalion out there.”

The interview further revealed that Walz’s actions may have violated the military’s stop-loss policy, which prevents service members from retiring or leaving service within 90 days of deployment.

“At that time is what’s called a stop loss, where if you’re in a position, you’re going forward regardless unless there’s some really major process that gets you out from not going on the deployment itself. So there’s that window of opportunity.”

Julien emphasized that Walz was fully aware of the impending orders and chose to retire anyway, abandoning his comrades just when they needed him most.

To add insult to injury, Walz has repeatedly claimed to have been a Command Sergeant Major—a title that Julien disputes. According to the retired Sergeant Major, Walz never completed the academy required to achieve that rank, making his claim a violation of stolen valor.

Video via Mike Cernovich.

From the interview, it is clear that Tim Walz went over his superior, pulled out of combat in Iraq within the 90 days prior to deployment and violated a stop loss rule. Walz later claimed he was a retired Command Sergeant Major – a level he never completed because he never entered the academy to become a Command Sergeant Major.

Walz frequently lied about this military rank since he left the service.

In fact, we know that the Kamala Harris campaign had to rewrite their website to correct this violation of stolen valor.

JUST IN: Automaker Stellantis Lays Off 2,450 Plant Workers in Warren, Michigan After Discontinuation of Popular Ram Pickup Truck

by Cristina Laila Aug. 9, 2024 3:20 pm140 Comments

Kamala and Joe’s America.

Stellantis laid off 2,450 plant workers in Warren, Michigan after discontinuing its popular Ram pickup truck.

The layoffs come just one day after Kamala Harris and her running mate stolen valor Tim Walz delivered remarks to United Auto Workers (UAW) members in Wayne County, Michigan.

The UAW represents the Stellantis plant in Warren, Michigan.

“With the introduction of the new Ram 1500, production of the Ram 1500 Classic at the Warren [Michigan] Truck Assembly Plant will come to an end later this year,” the company said in an emailed statement, CNBC reported.

CNBC reported:

Automaker Stellantis plans to indefinitely lay off up to 2,450 U.S. factory workers later this year as it discontinues production of an older version of its Ram 1500 pickup truck in Michigan.

The truck has been largely used as a low-cost pickup to sell to entry-level buyers and fleet customers since the automaker introduced a new generation of the Ram 1500 in 2018. It is produced alongside the Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer at the Warren Truck Assembly Plant, located near Detroit.

The current Ram 1500, which was recently updated for the 2025 model year, is produced at a nearby plant. Operations at that facility will continue as planned.

For the first time in the history of the 150,000-member United Auto Workers Union, members went on strike against the “Big 3” manufacturers last year after no deal was reached.

The “Big 3” include Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis, the newly-formed merger of Fiat Chrysler and the PSA Group.

“Key demands from the union have included 40% hourly pay increases; a reduced, 32-hour, workweek; a shift back to traditional pensions; the elimination of compensation tiers; and a restoration of cost-of-living adjustments. Other items on the table include enhanced retiree benefits and better vacation and family leave benefits,” CNBC reported last year.

Kentucky Truck Plant workers shut it down earlier this month. This is Ford’s biggest and most profitable plant.

The United Auto Workers strike expanded as thousands of workers walked out and shut down Stellantis’ largest plant last year.

6,800 workers walked out of the Sterling Heights Assembly Plant in Michigan last October.
