Judicial Watch Scrutinizes 873,000 Inactive Voter Registrations in California

Watchdog group Judicial Watch says it has identified almost a million voter registrations in California that have been inactive for at least three federal election cycles, and argues they must be removed to ensure potential cheaters cannot use the names on faked ballots.

California is always a cesspool of government corruption and rigged elections, and with major elections including the Los Angeles mayor and the state's governor this year, it is particularly important that patriots make any effort possible to reduce election vulnerabilities. That is what Judicial Watch is looking to do by identifying and urging removal of inactive voter registrations, as the group’s president, Tom Fitton, explained.

Fitton used an image his group put together to illustrate the issue with California voter rolls and break down the numbers, which you can see if you watch the video clip below. He explained how Judicial Watch got the number of 873,092 inactive registrations on Commiefornia’s voter rolls.

Fitton said, “326,608 names have remained continuously inactive for at least three consecutive federal general elections. That means the person hasn't voted or otherwise communicated with the state or the county voting officials for … six years. At least 151,202 registrants have been enactive [sic] for four federal elections. That's over eight years.”

And finally, “33,922 inactive voters have been around just hanging on the rolls for 10 plus years. You know, and you can see why we do this in the back here. Look at that quote. ‘Dirty voting rolls can mean dirty elections.’ And that's the key issue here.”

Earlier this year, California's election vulnerabilities came to national attention after a viral video showed a group paying $5 each to random individuals on the street, including homeless people, to sign fake names and addresses on ballots. You can see the crazy footage below.

Then, this month, federal prosecutors reached a deal with a "longtime voting activist in California" who admitted, "to illegally paying homeless people to sign election petitions and paying people to register to vote." And the activist has been engaging in this behavior for two decades. Yes, that's right, Brenda Lee Brown Armstrong spent 20 years taking money from "coordinators" who paid her to collect ballot registrations, bribe homeless people to sign them (sometimes providing her own address for the fakers to write down), and collect petition signatures. That's why leaving inactive voters on the rolls and sending mail-in ballots to everyone, whether requested or not, is such a dangerous move.

Never forget that, even though the major cities of California are heavily leftist, much of the state leans Republican, and even in the cities, there is more diversity of political thought than the Democrats would like. In the 2024 election, 10 California counties flipped red to vote for Donald Trump. As solidly blue as California seems to most of the country, it is not immune from the need for a little tampering to keep Democrats in full power.

Jefferson on How to Restore the Republic

“When once a Republic is corrupted, there is no possibility of remedying any of the growing evils but by removing the corruption and restoring its lost principles; every other correction is either useless or a new evil.” (Thomas Jefferson)

Mr. Jefferson, in the Declaration of Independence, with the agreement of his colleagues, stated the principles upon which an uncorrupt America was to be built. He was also happy with the Constitution of 1789 and defended it vociferously. “The greatest danger to American freedom is a government that ignores the Constitution.” I suspect—no, I know, based upon what he wrote—he would be disappointed with the government today. More on that subsequently.

His statement at the beginning of this article is an interesting analysis. If a Republic grows corrupt, i.e., perverts the principles upon which it is founded, then the corruptions must be removed and the founding principles be restored. Any attempts other than restoration will be useless—they will have no positive effect in bringing the republic back to what it was intended to be—or a “new evil.” Impurities from the founding ideals is an “evil”—at least for that Republic as it was intended. Changes are necessary over time, of course, and Jefferson never denied that. But if the adaptations change the founding principles, then the country is no longer what it was intended to be.

The founding principles of the United States are in the Declaration of Independence. One, natural rights: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, given to us by our Creator, not by government, a la Democratic Senator Tim Kane. Two, a government by the consent of the governed—i.e., the people tell the government what to do, not vice versa. And three, a limited government, governing a virtuous people—“our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people,” John Adams said. Freedom based on virtue, people freely choosing to do good and not harm others, not a freedom based on selfish promiscuity and licentiousness, which is self- and society-destructive. Any abandonment of those principles would be a “corruption” of the Republic, and the only answer, Jefferson said, is “restoring its lost principles.” That isn’t exactly what is happening in America today. The corruption in America, and its government, is wide and deep, and wholly because our politicians—and the people—have abandoned and dismissed the great principles this Republic was founded upon. It’s ugly, compared to what our Founders wanted. The Left has taken over the culture of America, and by doing so has moved the nation far, far from what our Founders intended, as stated in the Declaration and Constitution. That’s their resolve.

Of course, the news isn’t 100 percent bad. We get the occasional win (Trump), and that’s nice. The Republicans still control the Senate and House, but only because of RINOs. The Supreme Court remains largely “conservative.” These are some positives. Here is another example of a hopeful “positive,” a move towards restoration.

Ken Paxton’s victory over John Cornyn in the Texas Republican Senate primary was a delight, to say the least. But in the general election, Paxton is going to face, in one sense, a different kind of “progressive,” far-left Democrat. James Talarico is trying to cloak—hide—his radical-left views under a mask of Christianity, which is a joke, but it is something new for Democrats, and obviously is designed to deceive the naïve and get many church-going Texans to take another look at the Democratic Party, something most of them haven’t done in decades.

But Talarico is enticing and beguiling, and Paxton better be on his toes. The Democrat, who has a Master of Divinity from a theological seminary in Austin (a warning sign to me if there ever was one), has distributed “Love thy Neighbor” signs at his rallies (read: “let us murder our babies and mutilate our children”). Talarico has called Jesus a “radical feminist,” and argues that the Bible sanctions abortion (the angel Gabriel indicated to the virgin Mary that God requires human consent before creating life. Unbelievably stupid and blasphemous, but some will, no doubt, be persuaded.) “Look, progressivism is actually more ‘Christian’ than the Right. The Bible supports abortion on demand, climate change, feminism—God is non-binary, you know—etc. etc.”

His “open-minded Christianity” is further evidenced by his description of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam as “circling the same truth” as Christianity, directly contrary to Jesus’s “I am the way, the truth, the life. No one comes to God but by Me.” But just like the country, as a whole, has slid, morally and culturally, to the Left in recent decades, too many have allowed the culture to influence their religion rather than vice versa. Thus, religion—still important in America—becomes a deception covering and condoning secular progressivism. What this has done is saturate Christianity with increased impurities and evil, and can, has, and tragically, probably will continue to “deceive the hearts of the simple” (Romans 16:18).

Time will tell how effective Talarico will be, and how well Paxton can expose this false Christianity to the people of Texas. I don’t think Talarico’s deceptions will work, but if they do, and he gets elected, we’ll see more Democrats across the country trying it. They will still hate true Christianity and Judaism, but it will allow them to steal more votes.

My point here is that the general trend over the past few decades is a country moving away from its founding principles. Mr. Jefferson shows us the way back to true greatness—the eternal (from “Creator”), founding principles enunciated in the Declaration. But the Democrats will never go back to that, nor will Republicans, for that matter. Limited government and a virtuous Republic are dead, at least for the foreseeable future. The question thus becomes, how long before this current corruption and evil completely destroy the Republic?

We need morally unbending leaders, and there are too few of those.

Dems' Latest Reaction to Trump DC Clean-Up Explains Why Everything Was Such a Mess

Dems' Latest Reaction to Trump DC Clean-Up Explains Why Everything Was Such a Mess

Democrats and liberal media seem to be constantly taking issue with anything President Donald Trump does, regardless of the merits of his actions. 

But they've now truly jumped the shark with their Trump Derangement Syndrome when they're objecting to Trump cleaning up fountains and monuments around Washington, D.C. 

Our sister site Townhall reported on some of the interesting reaction. 

Here's the account that used to be the Kamala Harris Headquarters account, terming things like spending on the Reflecting Pool, Trump "vanity projects." 

Then here was the NY Times. 

There are some funny and instructive reactions there. 

First, Democrats call the actions "vanity projects." What's happening here? The Trump administration is using National Park Service (NPS) fees to...wait for it... take care of NPS properties. Oh, the horror! That's one of the things for which the fees should be used. So why is this even a "story"?

Second, the fact that the Democrat account that was connected to Kamala Harris doesn't understand that explains how things have fallen into such disrepair. They didn't give a darn that the Reflecting Pool was choked with garbage or if the fountain at Columbus Circle wasn't working for years (and Joe Biden went by it for years to take the train back to Delaware). They don't give a darn that Columbus Circle was covered in graffiti. They failed to do their jobs, and they dare to grouse about Trump doing his? They should look in the mirror and feel shame, but I don't think they have the capacity for that anymore. 

Third, aren't these the same folks who wasted money like it was going out of style? From pouring money out to Ukraine to fraud, when did they ever really check spending? They spent endless amounts without caring. Now we actually have an administration putting a stop to the rampant mismanagement of money. Another example of how we are so much better off that Kamala Harris lost. 

Decline is a choice, and it's one that Democrats have made for years. 

Trump is literally following through on fixing things, as we are about to celebrate our 250th birthday. And that's a good thing.

An Undercover Look Into the Camp the Anti-ICE Crew Set Up in Newark

An Undercover Look Into the Camp the Anti-ICE Crew Set Up in Newark

As we've been reporting, there's been a major anti-ICE action that has been happening at the Delaney Hall ICE facility over the past week. Hundreds of agitators have come out and clashed with ICE agents. There have even been people I recognize coming from other states. 

The ICE agents have been assaulted. One was even threatened that the agitator would kill him and his entire family. 

The activists claim they're upset about the treatment of detainees in the facility. We reported on some of the problems with the claims being made about the food and hunger strikes in the facility. Indeed, if the menu is accurate, it looks like they're eating better than some Americans. Meanwhile, they also have access to a commissary where they're buying more food.

Watch: Things Are Getting Way Out of Hand With Anti-ICE Agitators in Newark


There was a lot of action at the facility on Friday night, and we will be bringing it to you. 

First, there was the fascinating report from Nick Sortor, who managed to make it into the huge encampment that they had set up with everything an activist might need. Check out all of this. 

Sorter estimated there were thousands of dollars' worth of stuff, even a constant supply of hot food. You can hear him commenting on the lasagna available and see all the items. They have everything from water and paper towels to even Cheezits and an eyewash station (for when they get hit with pepper spray). You also see people sitting in chairs and having something to eat. 

Sortor tells the people inside he's looking for hand wipes. They tell him to check the "medical tent." Because, of course, there's one of those too. There were multiple tents. 

It's also astonishing that Sortor was able to do this without being found out, since his face is becoming known for such actions, so hat tip to him as well for getting all this, and risking the danger. 

The anti-ICE activity is a huge endeavor, not just to put together, but to fund. So all this raises a big question: who is behind the funding here? Which groups are connected to this action? Are the authorities looking into that and not just the folks doing the action on site? Just the one huge tent alone has to be an expensive item, and notice they even have lighting set up in that big tent as well, so they're plugged in, have a battery or generator.

Democrat politicians have been to the site to whip up angst. Meanwhile, law enforcement is being assailed every night. Democrats need to be called out for stoking this as well.

Seattle Just Acquitted Another Violent Criminal Due to Mental Health Issues

Seattle Just Acquitted Another Violent Criminal Due to Mental Health Issues

It's not bad enough that the Democrats have insisted on turning career criminals loose in our cities in the name of 'criminal justice reform,' but they've also decided to declare many of these criminals insane, provide them with cursory 'mental health treatment' and then set them free down the road once we've forgotten about their crimes.

In early 2025, Connecticut officials did just that, releasing a man who killed another with an axe and cannibalized the victim's brain and eyeball. Tyree Smith was set free after a board found he'd "demonstrated long-term stability, remained engaged in all recommended treatments and consistently followed his care." That's easy to do when you're hospitalized. How Smith will fair when no longer under strict supervision remains to be seen.

The same thing happened in North Carolina, where a court found Decarlos Brown, Jr. 'incapable to proceed' in his trial related to the murder of Iryna Zartuska. Despite being arrested more than a dozen times in the past and never adequately jailed, the court has now decided Brown is incompetent. Never mind the fact witnesses said Brown yelled, "I got that white girl!" after stabbing Zartuska in the neck.

Now Seattle has acquitted a migrant with 28 priors because of 'insanity,' after that migrant stabbed someone to death in 2023.

Here's more:

A King County man charged with stabbing a stranger to death in downtown Seattle in 2023 was found not guilty by reason of insanity last week, and will be sent to a state psychiatric hospital instead of trial, according to court documents.

Prosecutors and defense attorneys jointly asked a judge to accept the insanity plea of Sana Ceesay, 29, in the killing of Fontaine Jackson, acquit him on a first-degree murder charge, and commit him to the custody of the state Department of Social and Health Services for treatment.

The agreement was outlined in a memorandum filed May 14 by the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.

Prosecutors said Ceesay stabbed Jackson multiple times on July 4, 2023. Court documents state there was no evidence that the men knew each other before that night.

Much like Smith in Connecticut, a court will rule Ceesay is 'rehabilitated' and release him back into the community where the cycle of violence will likely repeat itself.

Simply incredible.

Yes. And they'll start throwing people in prison for that.

Certainly seems like a workaround for incarcerating criminals.

People are clearly fed up with this 'reform.'

The chaos and societal collapse are the point.

Biden Betrayal? New Report Alleges Taxpayers Got Fleeced to Fund Terrorist-Linked NGOs

Biden Betrayal? New Report Alleges Taxpayers Got Fleeced to Fund Terrorist-Linked NGOs

Lest we forget just how bad, how feckless, how incompetent and, yes, how anathema to America's founding principles and the best interests of the citizens the Biden administration was, now there's this: Allegations have surfaced that the Biden-Harris administration may have slipped millions of dollars to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) with ties to terrorist groups. Taxpayer dollars, mind you, sent to anti-Israel and pro-terrorist groups, in what can only be called a betrayal of the American people.

The House Judiciary Committee released a memo on Friday that details what it says is a pattern of neglect and abuse of taxpayer funds during the Biden administration. These funds, according to the memo, went directly and indirectly to anti-Israel protests and terrorist-linked NGOs. 

The funds were disbursed through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the State Department and other federal agencies. 

Did we need a better justification for President Trump slamming the door shut on USAID? Here we are.

The House Judiciary Committee has released a press release on the matter, which you can view here, and it presents has quite the list of findings:

The Committee's New Key Findings:

  • U.S. nonprofit Rockefeller Brothers Fund provided nearly $4 million to radical, anti-Israel groups, including some with alleged ties to terrorist organizations; 
  • USAID grantee and tax-exempt organization, the Tides Network, provided over $1 million to anti-Israel groups, including some with ties to terrorist organizations; 
  • U.S. nonprofits, the Jewish Communal Fund, and its grantees, Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors and PEF Israel Endowment Funds, may be violating section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status by funding radical anti-Israel groups; 
  • Israeli nonprofit, Movement for Quality Government, has failed to cooperate with the Committee's inquiry concerning its funding of anti-Israeli-government NGOs; 
  • According to a 2023 audit, Israeli nonprofit and U.S. government grantee Abraham Initiatives failed to comply with anti-terrorism procedures.

The Tides Network, remember, is associated with a notorious name in American leftist, anti-Israel activism: George Soros. The Tides Network, while not founded by Soros, frequently acts as a pass-through for Soros funds going to far-left causes. As for the rest, it's a laundry list of anti-Israel, anti-American causes.

This isn't the first such investigation that the House Judiciary Committee has undertaken. Another memo, from 2025, showed that the Committee was already, at that time, looking into the questionable spending of taxpayer monies, again through the mechanism of USAID. The 2025 memo, as background for their investigation, states:

In 2023, Israel experienced widespread protests over the plan of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government to reform the Israeli judicial system. The Biden-Harris Administration openly opposed the proposed reforms, with former President Joe Biden saying that Israel “cannot continue down this road.” Media reports subsequently revealed that some U.S. taxpayer money, in the form of grants, had been funneled through various American and Israeli NGOs to fund these protests in part. The use of federal grants for such purposes risks harming America’s relationship with one of its closest allies and undermines core civil liberties. 

Look, I'm far from the first guy to point a finger and shout "Treachery," but some of this spending walks right up to the line of providing aid and comfort to organizations that are opposed to the ideals and principles of the United States of America. USAID, under the Biden administration, was funding NGOs that were allegedly providing support themselves to not only anti-Israel groups, but groups with ties to terrorist organizations. And then there's the Soros link; the Soros family that has opposed everything the United States stands for for a couple of generations now.

Now, the downside: Is it likely that any person or group will face serious consequences for this? Not likely. But we can be glad for one thing, and that is that USAID is no longer in operation. And, once more, if we want to keep it that way, in November, at all hazards, vote!
