    Fulton County ordered over 1,000,000 EXTRA ABSENTEE BALLOTS without STUBS or ENVELOPES for the 2020 Election and lied about it.

    The total number of ballots ordered in addition to what was mailed to voters was 1,058,910. This should tell you everything you need to know.

    Fulton County ordered over 1,000,000 EXTRA ABSENTEE BALLOTS without STUBS or ENVELOPES for the 2020 Election and lied about it.

    The total number of ballots ordered in addition to what was mailed to voters was 1,058,910. This should tell you everything you need to know.

    Fulton County ordered 1,058,910 absentee ballots at the last minute, without envelopes, without stubs, and after they could have realistically been mailed. The “extra” ballots were not ordered for the reasons given, and what ballots from the order that remained

    after the election were destroyed.

    For reference, a total of 528,777 ballots were cast for the 2020 General Election, and of those only approximately 148,000 were absentee. The majority of which were sent by Runbeck Election Services directly to the voter.

    Because of the Absentee Fulfillment Program, there was simply no reason for Fulton County to purchase a large number of printed ballots.

    Fulton County then tried to conceal the order and denied the existence of corresponding documents. In response to a narrowly targeted open records request, Fulton County returned, “No responsive records.”

    It wasn’t until we provided Fulton County’s accounting code for the invoice, funding line, and invoice number that Fulton County acquiesced and finally produced the records.

    The number of additional absentee ballots ordered and received, 1,058,910, far exceeded the total number of Fulton County’s registered voters, including both active and inactive.

    According to the Election Assistance Commission, “EAC,” Fulton County’s total number of registered voters for 2020 was 836,563, or 113.8% of the Citizen Voting Age Population, “CVAP,” 1,058,910 ballots is 126% of the total number of registered voters in Fulton County.

    Fulton County was required to have 83,656 emergency ballots available, not over one million. Georgia’s absentee, provisional, and emergency ballots are indistinguishable. The same ballot serves all three purposes, which is ripe for exploitation.

    In other words, “emergency ballots” could be used nefariously and injected or cast as regular absentee ballots. Aside from the absurd number, we also know that the ballots at issue were not procured to meet the statutory requirement cited above because emergency ballots were required to be available when the polls opened for advance voting on October 12, 2020.

    The ballot order was placed on October 16th. Also, the ballots were explicitly ordered with “no stubs,” which emergency ballots are required to have stubs for tracking purposes and to prevent them from being used nefariously.

    Gabriel Sterling also claimed that the ballots were ordered in case Logic & Accuracy testing, “L&A,” of the voting machines couldn’t be completed before the election as required by Georgia law.

    Sterling’s excuse fails for a number of reasons, but the most damning is that the mandatory L&A testing was not performed before the polls opened on October 12, 2020 for advance voting as established in a preceding section, and the untested machines were used anyway.

    The ballots were ordered on October 16, 2020, after the untested machines were already in use. Just as explained before, emergency ballots require stubs- regardless of the emergency. The conclusion points that these 1 MILLION extra ballots ordered were most likely used for nefarious reasons and injected into the count for Joe Biden to clear the margin of victory.

    It is important to note that no other counties are known to have ordered an excessive number of absentee ballots, and both of Gabriel Sterling’s excuses would have affected the entire state.

    Lastly, there’s the massive number of ballots. Fulton County inexplicably ordered 1,058,910 absentee ballots, or enough to replace eighty percent of all absentee ballots cast for the 2020 General Election for the entire state of Georgia.

    In yet another surreptitious act, only days after an article detailing the suspect ballot order was published, Fulton County issued a public notice stating that they would be destroying the “excess” ballots imminently.

    The notice states there are only 284,901 emergency ballots remaining, but Fulton County ordered a total of 1,058,210 emergency ballots.

    In the notice, Fulton County claims the emergency ballots were ordered as a contingency plan and thus were never needed. If that were true, according to Fulton County’s own numbers, 773,309 absentee ballots are unaccounted for.

    Because a conflicting number of ballots were said to be destroyed, the physical ballots themselves can no longer be consulted to determine the number remaining, and more importantly, the number missing.

    Fulton County’s efforts to conceal the suspect ballot order, the timing of the ballot order, the illogical, massive number of ballots ordered, the fact that ballots were ordered with no stubs, and the destruction of the ballots, raise very serious questions.

    A massive number of absentee ballots were ordered for no justifiable reason and could have been, and likely were, used to manipulate the 2020 General Election.

    President Trump just posted that MASSIVE legislation has been filed to abolish birthright citizenship for illegal aliens, and the bill DIRECTLY complies with the US Supreme Court ruling

    PASS IT AND SAVE THE REPUBLIC

    REP. STEUBE: “If the parents of the child are not citizens of our country, then that child automatically cannot become a citizen of our country. This would end the birth tourism industry that is going on.”

    “A witness that testified that 1.5 million children have been born of Chinese descent in a birthright tourism type industry where they come into the country.”

    “They are born here, so now they’re an American citizen, and then they go back to China. There’s no other country, there’s like three other countries in the world that do it, and it’s a list of countries like the Congo.”

    “They don’t allow these type of things to happen. There’s no country in the world that allows these things to happen, and if Congress has to regulate it, we filed a bill to do it.”

    JMO.

    Last night, President Trump kicked off the expedited “reverse-stealing” of the 2026 midterm elections.

    He and his team are using the knowledge gained over the past 17 months. They reviewed and documented the fraud techniques used to steal prior elections.  

    If left unabated, the known fraud elements at the state and local level will result in fraudulent federal elections. The federal government cannot let that happen.

    As he noted last tonight, besides informing the country as a whole, he is officially giving his team its marching orders to immediately go to each affected state and local area and take the necessary actions to prevent fraud during the 2026 and future elections. Time is of the essence. 

    This may involve changing procedures or removing vulnerable equipment and supplies planned to be used during the election.  

    Working as a team with the state and local personnel where possible and issuing and enforcing “federal court orders” when necessary.

    His speech also resulted in the key terms being entered into the “Overton Window”.

    Educating and bringing the American citizenry up-to-date.

    For example:

    __________________________________________________

    Chinese making bribes

    American citizens (news reporters, politicians, etc.) taking bribes

    Planting of false stories about President Trump

    Voting data bought, stolen by foreign governments

    Venezuela’s fraud connections

    Falsifying government records

    FBI / DOJ / CIA employees involved in the fraud or in the coverup of fraud

    Chinese involved in counterfeit ballots and voter IDs

    State and local employees involved in counterfeit ballots and voter IDs

    State and local employees involved in not following required election processes

    Decertification of vulnerable equipment used in the election process

    Must eliminate non-citizens and dead people from the eligible voter rolls

    Must eliminate citizens voting in multiple states / local areas.

    Must eliminate one citizen submitting multiple ballots

    Foreign or American citizens involved in falsifying manual or computer records

    Voting restricted to one day ….. with a few exceptions.

    Eliminate federal judiciary involvement in election fraud by treating all states the same.

    ETC.

    __________________________________________________

    He stated that preventing election fraud is a non-partisan duty involving every citizen’s and public official’s involvement.

    The house and senate must quickly pass the SAVE America Act.

    MAGA / America First isn’t just our motto, it is our duty!

  9. Just The News: “Planning for funeral services for the late Sen. Lindsey Graham is being complicated by the national and international interest in attending. That and other planning challenges will delay the funeral. 

    South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott said that planners are finding it difficult to accommodate all the dignitaries wanting to attend, WLTX reported.

    “The process of figuring out when the National Cathedral would be made available at the exact same time that the global leaders who want to come and all the other national leaders who will be there has made it a little more difficult,” Scott said. 

    Scott said his understanding is that an offer was made to have Graham lie in state in Washington, but final funeral arrangements are still being worked out. He said Graham’s sister, Sen. Darline Graham, is hopeful services will be held next week.”

  11. EXCERPT: “Contained in the reams of documents declassified by President Donald Trump this month and obtained by Just the News is compelling evidence that the oft-decried ‘deep state’ is not only real but is, in fact, activated to obscure the scope of Chinese hacks of voter data to hide them from then-President Donald Trump.

    President Trump in a speech on Thursday decried the effort by some intelligence officials to hide efforts by China to gather data ahead of the 2020 election, and according to the assessment of some officials, interfere in the election. 

    “I’m basically running a shadow government across the FBI at this point,” said Nikki Floris, then-deputy assistant director of the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division, in a text message declassified by Trump and reviewed by Just the News.   

    Floris was one of the key FBI officials who on September 25, 2020, weeks before the election, was at the forefront of the bureau’s effort to recall and suppress an Intelligence Information Report (IIR) containing information from an FBI confidential source alleging that the Chinese government was producing fake drivers’ licenses for fraudulent mail-in-votes in support of then-Democratic nominee Joe Biden. 

    The FBI turned over evidence of the alleged plot to Congress in June of last year. Sen. Chuck Grassley, the Republican chairman of the Judiciary Committee, subsequently released some of the emails, which revealed Floris’ role in suppressing the intelligence report. 

    The bureau appeared, based on the emails, afraid it would undercut then-FBI Director Christopher Wray’s assurances to Congress that foreign meddling did not pose a threat to the presidential race, Just the News previously reported. 

    The intervention to recall the intelligence report does not appear to be an isolated incident. In the sensitive weeks after the November 2020 election, a senior analyst in the Intelligence Community admitted that the Presidential Daily Brief was being tailored to avoid mentioning election-related issues. 

    “We have deliberately massaged our one pending PDB to avoid any direct links to the election,” a Strategic Intelligence Analyst specializing in China, whose name has been redacted, wrote to colleagues in late November 2020. 

    This “boggled” the minds of officials at the National Intelligence Council, email communications among the declassified records show……”

  12. Just The News: “A federal judge ruled Wednesday that Congress violated the Constitution by passing a Biden-era internet access grant program that gave preferences to racial or ethnic minorities. 

    The Digital Equity Act was part of President Biden’s 2021 budget climate law, and it sought to spend billions of dollars on broadband access. But by ordering that the money should go to those minority groups, it crossed a constitutional line, the Washington Times reported. 

    The ruling was by Judge John Bates, a George W. Bush nominee to the court, who said that the 2023 ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court striking down race-based preferences in college admissions, was the basis for his decision. He said the same logic applies to government grant programs. 

    “Addressing that gap is a laudable goal, but the Supreme Court has admonished that ameliorating general societal inequalities — as opposed to specific instances of past discrimination — ’does not constitute a compelling interest that justifies race-based state action,’” Bates wrote.

    The Competitive Grant Program was halted last year by the Trump administration, which argued that such preferences were unconstitutional.”

    Just The News: “Authorities have confirmed the presence of carbon monoxide inside a parked Ford Explorer in Toldedo, Ohio, in which five people were found unresponsive. Three of them died on Wednesday. 

    The incident is being described as an accident. The driver had pulled the vehicle into a parking lot after it got a flat tire. The victims were discovered Wednesday morning, the Associated Press reported. 

    The victims included a grandmother and her grandchildren. The woman’s son had discovered the bodies and called for help, according to City of Toledo spokesperson Rachel Hart. Two children were hospitalized in critical condition. 

    Investigators placed a meter inside the vehicle and started the engine with the doors closed, Toledo Fire Chief Allison Armstrong said. The meter showed a “high spike of carbon monoxide.” 

    The investigation into what caused the gas to accumulate inside the vehicle continues.”

  14. “Trump Showed the Receipts, the Math Finally Works, and Now the Senate Can Pass the SAVE America Act — There are no more excuses left in the UniParty Swamp’s refrigerator.”

    JD Rucker, July 17, 2026

    EXCERPT: “President Trump walked into the East Room Thursday night and did the one thing his critics have insisted for years he could not do. He produced documents. Not rally-stage assertions, not dueling affidavits, but declassified intelligence assessments, FBI case files, and Department of Homeland Security findings, all posted for public download at whitehouse.gov.

    For the better part of six years, every conversation about securing American elections has been strangled in the crib by two talking points. There is no evidence of a problem, and there is no path to fix it anyway. In the span of about 48 hours, both of those excuses died.

    I will be talking about all of this in detail on today’s episode of The JD Rucker Show at noon Pacific.

    The evidence half collapsed when the White House released files covering five areas of concern, from foreign acquisition of American voter data to buried fraud investigations to hundreds of thousands of noncitizens sitting on state voter rolls. The path half collapsed when the House Budget Committee advanced a budget resolution designed to carry the SAVE America Act through the Senate on a simple majority. The floor vote on that resolution could come as early as next week.

    What remains between the American people and the election security they overwhelmingly demand is not a shortage of proof and not a procedural dead end. It is a handful of people in the United States Senate, and the question of whether they have the spine to act.

    There is an old promise about hidden things, and Thursday night felt like a down payment on it.

    For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad. (Luke 8:17)

    What was hidden is now manifest. So let us look at it squarely, all five parts of it, and then walk through exactly what the Senate must do, because the details matter and the window is short.

    What the Documents Actually Show

    A note of precision before the deep dives, because precision is what separates an argument from a tantrum. These documents describe vulnerabilities, foreign data theft, buried investigations, and corrupted voter rolls. They do not prove that vote totals were switched in an American election, and Trump himself drew that distinction from the podium, saying the purpose of the release is to earn confidence by confronting vulnerabilities and correcting them.

    Do I believe the 2020 election was stolen? Absolutely. Do I believe Joe Biden got 81 million votes? Nope. But the information President Trump released is designed to clear the path forward, not litigate a past event that cannot be undone.

    The fact-checkers spent Thursday night triumphantly announcing that the files contain no smoking gun of altered results, as though that settles anything. It settles nothing. If your bank told you that burglars had copied your account information, cased the vault, and bribed a teller, you would not be comforted by the news that no withdrawal had yet been confirmed. You would demand new locks. Keep that frame in mind as you read what follows.

    The Machines Were Never as Safe as They Told You…..”

  16. “It’s a Matter of Leverage”

    Clandestine, July 17, 2026

    “Hear me out…Trump just visited China in May, and Xi is scheduled to visit the US in September. With control over the Strait of Hormuz, Panama Canal, Venezuela, and Indonesian military partnership (Strait of Malacca), Trump controls the flow of much of China’s oil imports.

    China is extremely reliant on oil imports, with approximately 70% of their nation’s crude oil coming from imports. Trump has insane leverage over China right now. He has them by the balls. Own the energy, own the world.

    My guess is that President Xi has been cooperating with Trump, because if he does not, China cannot sustain their energy needs. If Xi wants his oil, it would behoove him to give us the goods on election fraud, and based on the fact that Trump just visited China and Xi is visiting in September, I think he already did.

    Trump has ALL the leverage. Xi’s visit in September should be interesting.”

  30. AP : Lettuce at Taco Bell in 5 states confirmed as source of a diarrhea-causing parasite outbreak

    ATLANTA (AP) — Federal health officials have identified lettuce from Mexico served by Taco Bell locations across five U.S. states as a source of the widespread outbreak of diarrhea-causing parasite cyclospora.

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention late Thursday confirmed the source and warned consumers not to eat shredded iceberg lettuce from Taco Bell restaurants in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and West Virginia.

    A Food and Drug Administration investigation identified a single supplier of the lettuce. The federal warnings to consumers did not identify the company.

    “FDA is working with the supplier of iceberg lettuce to determine if potentially contaminated shredded iceberg lettuce remains on the market,” including in other states, the CDC said. “Taco Bell has committed to stop using any lettuce from the supplier identified by FDA’s traceback investigation.”

  40. Just The News: “President Donald Trump on Friday endorsed Sen. Darline Graham Nordone, R-S.C., to run for a full term after he backed her to replace her late brother.

    “Darline, who comes from an absolutely incredible family, has been a WINNER all of her life and, should she accept, has my Complete and Total Endorsement in the Special Election for U.S. Senate in South Carolina — SHE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN. RUN, DARLINE, RUN!” Trump said Friday.

    Gov. Henry McMaster, R-S.C., appointed Nordone to finish the late Sen. Lindsey Graham’s, R-S.C., term after he died unexpectedly over the weekend. Reports emerged on Friday that she was exploring a bid for a full term in office.

    “It was my Honor to welcome now Senator Darline Graham Nordone (The sister of the Late, Great Lindsey Graham!), from the Wonderful State of South Carolina, into the Oval Office,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “We have known each other for a long time — She is a spectacular person, and a true American Patriot.”

    “Lindsey was one of the greatest people and Senators I have ever known, and his sister shares his deep love of our Country, and the State of South Carolina,” he added. “During her visit, I asked Darline, for the Good of our Nation, to run for the U.S. Senate in the Special Republican Primary on Tuesday, August 11, 2026. I hope Darline does this, in that there would be nobody better to honor the legacy of her beloved brother, Lindsey.”
