When Trump cited 278,000 non-citizens who are nevertheless registered to vote, I thought well then, there is the evidence of vote fraud that Democrats have been demanding. Let the prosecutions commence! But is it now my understanding that none of these people are specifically identified in the materials posted on the White House website, much less being prosecuted for vote fraud?
Lo and behold, depending on the state, there seem to be several interactions with government offices where one can be automatically registered to vote. In particular, this doesn't mean that anyone so registered has ever actually voted.
I'm (not) shocked that Mr. Trump would make such a misleading statement.
I objected ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN not airing at first. But it was not an Oval Office address to the Nation. Fox carried but Bret Bair and Martha McCallam did not anchor. They left it with Sean Hannity, opinion programming. So there was nothing unusual about the coverage. I do think there were issues in 2020 election. HOWEVER, the Bible tells us all things work together for good. It is good that Trump is President for America 250. No one else, I believe, would have matched our fantastic celebration. Praise the Lord and God Bless America.
If the voter information allegedly hijacked by the Chinese is as you say, ghat sounds more like a Biden blunder than a Trump act, though it does give him the limelight he do enjoys. No doubt that both Russia and China try to influence our elections. If we have enough evidence of it then, Yes, sanction them for sure. I still believe that there was fraud in the 2020 election, but bc of the way various states handle the data it’s near impossible to prove much. That’s why we do need to tighten up the process across the board and set Federal rules. And, the same with voter rolls. These are those dreaded “Loopholes” that Dems hate in the tax world, but love in the world of elections. None of this is Rocket science! CA, I believe, automatically registers voters when they get a Driver’s license. I don’t see what the two have to do with each other. That should be stopped immediately. Make people specifically register and ask the key question of are you a citizen! Then ask about Felonies and the rest. I really didn’t get the point of the networks that didn’t carry Biden’s speech. It wasn’t bc it would have been akin to listening to Alice in Wonderland ? Good article.
This is yet another example of “stewing” rather than “doing.” Time after time examples of China engaged in nefarious and potentially deadly incursions into American life…and yet we continue to buy, buy, buy from them thus sustaining their economy at our expense.
Can anyone think of a harmful external threat to America that China is not a participant in?
When China attacks Taiwan will we just give them another pass?
Past time to ween ourselves off our dependency on China and start depending upon ourselves and our allies-not our adversaries.
I reached out to a buddy at the GA SOS office because we keep getting postcards about our local polling location... for our son... who has lived in NC for over a decade as a permanent resident. I think our voter records are pretty good here in GA, but how does this happen?
Perhaps having the capability of doing so, would your son ever return to Georgia in order to also vote there? Setting aside the fundamental dishonesty of doing so and even if he were so inclined, I doubt it because his one vote would not make enough of a difference to even go through the trouble.
Stealing a lot of votes might make sense. Casting just one vote that you shouldn't does not, which is why we have so very few people actually voting illegally.
For more context/clarity, your fact pattern is completely correct. My point was simply the fact that from direct personal experience, I know of one single voter who is improperly still listed as a GA voter. In theory, if I was 'the cheatin kind' I could have doubled my vote by requesting a mail-in ballot in his name. I was just using my own experience (in a State with pretty good record keeping/standards) to note that cleaning the voter rolls is important--and doing it correctly is even more so.
Disappointed. It was basically a big ole nothing sandwich. Nothing new, nothing shocking, nothing laid out on how you plan to address it. I lead a team of 14 people. When they bring a problem to me, my first questions are what is your plan to address this? What have you done? I'm not interested in hearing about problems without your plan to correct.
If China is hacking U.S. elections, there is no greater need to escalate against China than there is to escalate against U.S. legislators who refuse to defend against such things.
I have an opinion about why the President is not calling out China or adding to tariff's on China or otherwise criticizing them.
The reason is simplified in the story in your link from today's show notes to a Semafor article "China rare-earth export curbs risk $6.5 trillion in production."
The original IEA article has much more detail in it.
If the link gets wiped out by the system, then Google "International Energy Agency Global Critical Minerals Outlook 2026 Executive summary".
While Iran is trying to drive Western civilization into a global depression to match their own cratering economy, China is trying to damage Western economies also but in a different way that particularly hurts the US and Europe.
Scarcity of anything drives up the price. This is a more likely motive for making these minerals harder to obtain for than any desire to hurt our economy. Having one's biggest customer go broke isn't good for business.
Why is the American public expected to commit dollars to celebrate Trump’s birthday (which was in early June) and how can we be expected to understand why we are paying millions (billions) of dollars, while he is receiving billions and using his ‘perceived position’ to fill his personal accounts (totally with multiple conflicting interests) using his position obstruct justice and feed his narcissistic ego? Why is no one willing to call a spade a spade?
So your saying insider trading is OK if you a member of Congress as for buying Trump coins how many did you buy me personally like a more tangible investment
I agree but also ask has your congressman or senator increased their net worth while serving the people of their district or state on a salary of 180k or less while living in one of the most expensive zip codes in the USA Corruption doesn’t go away by looking the other way just look at the SNAP program
Congressmen get rich because early knowledge of what the federal government is going to do, that might hurt or help particular companies, is one hell of an advantage in picking investments. They're not "pumping and dumping" meme coins to make suckers out of their own supporters or accepting luxurious airplanes from foreign countries.
Wow! I didn’t realize that we never paid for any other Presidents celebrations. Or, is it bc he was a wealthy man and should pay his own way like other wealthy presidents? With all that’s going on out there this is a petty thing to whine about.
Agree Eric .. i said to my wife after the speech .. why didn't he say.. that we will double down on our efforts to destabilize your government after these revelations
My comment about China is simple: they are a thief state.

I feel dumber having watched that.
Trump lost all credibility following the 2020 election claiming proof of voter fraud but not producing anything close to fraud.
Do we issues? Yes.
Should we trust Trump? No

Can the US hack china's elections or steal its voter data? Please note my sarcasm
Q: if grandma is in a coma and receives a mail in ballot, can her kids fill it out and mail it i ?
Q2:same Q for a homeless person who is a drug addict or a person living w parents with an IQ of 60?
Are there any standards? Should there be( obviously not easy to define )

Is the 2026 mid-terms not on the president’s radar?
