Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling on drop boxes undercuts Democrats' clean election claim

By Natalia Mittelstadt

The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling striking down the use of ballot drop boxes is the latest evidence that a widely used mechanism for the 2020 election was illegal, undercutting Democratic claims that any irregularities in the contest were insufficient to sway outcomes.

On Friday, the state Supreme Court ruled in a 43 decision that the ballot drop boxes authorized by the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) for the 2020 presidential election were illegal and that only the voter may return their ballot in person.

The court noted that by spring 2021, municipal clerks reported that there were 570 drop boxes in 66 of Wisconsin's 72 counties.

"Only the legislature may permit absentee voting via ballot drop boxes," the court said in the ruling. "WEC cannot. Ballot drop boxes appear nowhere in the detailed statutory system for absentee voting. WEC's authorization of ballot drop boxes was unlawful."

Republican Wisconsin state Rep. Janel Brandtjen told the "Just the News, Not Noise" TV show Friday that the state Supreme Court decision affected hundreds of thousands of ballots that were cast in the 2020 presidential election.

"This was hundreds and hundreds of thousands of ballots in the state of Wisconsin that actually went through the dropbox process, which really was just handled by the bureaucracy," Brandtjen said. "Instead of having the Legislature make rules about how the ballots were to be handled, instead, we were in a situation where bureaucrats just wrote out on paper how we were going to be handling ballots in the state of Wisconsin."

Joe Biden was declared the winner of Wisconsin's 10 electoral votes in 2020 with a popular vote margin of 20,608, or .7%.

In December 2020, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that it was illegal for Gov. Tony Evers to issue an emergency order giving blanket permission for voters to declare themselves homebound and skip voter ID requirements for absentee ballots cast in the election during the pandemic.

Commenting on the court's latest finding that the state executive branch usurped legislative authority in the 2020 election, Brandtjen said she hopes government officials have received the message from the court "because guidance is not law."

"What [has] now been declared from the ... Supreme Court of the state of Wisconsin is that taking your ballot home is almost in the same level of taking home your SAT," Brandtjen told show cohosts John Solomon and Amanda Head. "There has to be some sort of guidelines to make sure your ballot is being secured, and that's up to the Legislature, not just the Wisconsin Election Commission."

Ballot drop boxes were also implemented in Pennsylvania during the 2020 election cycle, despite not being expressly authorized by law. The state Supreme Court, however, ruled they were legal, prompting some state Republicans to claim the court overstepped its bounds.

Despite the ongoing revelation of countless irregularities in the 2020 presidential election, Democrats and government officials have claimed the election was "the most secure in American history" —or at least that fraud and irregularities were too marginal to affect the outcome.

Those denying the existence of significant election irregularities have attempted to stigmatize those who have scrutinized the anomalies marring a presidential election dominated by novel mass mail-in voting procedures imposed late in the election cycle across a range of swing states indispensable in securing Joe Biden's victory.

Amistad Project Founder Phill Kline also reacted to the Wisconsin high court’s ruling.

"The WI Supreme Court's ruling banning drop boxes is long overdue," the election integrity watchdog tweeted. "If the state legislature wanted drop boxes, they would have authorized them. Now, drop boxes will only be allowed in election offices, where they can be properly monitored and secured."

'Too much red flag for bank': The tale of Hunter Biden's payments to alleged Russian prostitutes

By John Solomon

As his father was ramping up his 2020 presidential run, Hunter Biden was busy texting a woman with a Russian email address about finding a way to evade bank suspicions so they could complete a wire transfer.

"Email with .ru flags wires," Hunter Biden texted the woman named Eva in early January 2019, according to evidence two members of Congress have sent the Justice Department.

"Too much red flag for bank," Hunter Biden texted another time when wire coordinates for the payment to the woman were sent. "That its [sic] what got my accounts frozen and reviewed by bank. Send me Julia and I will give her the cash."

The text messages — first reported in the news media and now recounted in an official letter from Congress to DOJ —raise a tantalizing question: Should Americans be concerned that a presidential son was texting and exchanging wire transfers with alleged prostitutes using a Russian email address?

Sens. Ron Johnson and Chuck Grassley, two Republicans who have spent more time than any investigating the Biden family's overseas business dealings, believe the answer is a resounding "Yes."

"These findings of potentially criminal behavior must be thoroughly investigated by law enforcement entities according to the highest ethical standards," the senators wrote this week to Attorney General Merrick Garland, FBI Director Chris Wray and U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss in a letter pleading for action. The letter provided a pointed reminder that Hunter Biden was aware banks had suspicions he was engaged in wrongdoing, flagging his accounts for reviews, and was in his own words trying to evade those suspicions.

Johnson and Grassley have disclosed that dozens of financial transactions involving the president's son and his business deals were flagged to the U.S. Treasury Department by banks that filed Suspicious Activity Reports.

Just the News has confirmed that one former executive of a bank has filed a whistleblower complaint to the IRS and Securities and Exchange Commissioner suggesting there is far more to the Hunter Biden story than what is public.

And documents obtained by Just the News show Hunter Biden was warned repeatedly starting in 2016 that he had failed to pay taxes on money he had earned from one of his more controversial business clients, the Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings.

It a picture now well documented in the public but frequently blacked out by a Democrat-led Congress and news media unwilling to ask the hard questions, Grassley and Johnson argue in their letter.

"Rather than take these disturbing revelations seriously, the partisan press quickly rushed to dispel any notion of potential wrongdoing connected to Hunter Biden," they wrote. "Instead of investigating potential links between Hunter Biden and human trafficking rings, the media falsely characterized our findings as little more than a rehashing of unproven allegations that (Continued on page 14)

echoed a Russian disinformation campaign."

At first blush, the letter might seem like an exasperated plea for investigation and a complaint that DOJ hasn't answered GOP lawmakers. But it is also a reminder that the dynamics in Washington may soon change if Republicans win back control of Congress and its investigative committees and have the power of subpoena.

"Due to your agencies' continued failure to provide Congress with answers to its legitimate oversight questions, we have serious concerns about your review of this matter as well as the ongoing Hunter Biden criminal case," Grassley and Johnson wrote.

"What is the Justice Department trying to hide from Congress and the American people?" they asked.

The senators said their concerns included questions about ethical conflicts of interest with some of the law enforcement officials involved in investigating or supervising the Hunter Biden probe, which began in late 2018 and is focused on issues that include money laundering, unpaid taxes and influence peddling.

"Most recently, on May 9, 2022, we wrote to U.S. Attorney (USA) David Weiss with respect to our concerns about conflicts of interest infecting the criminal investigation," they told Garland in the new letter, dated Thursday.

"In that letter, we reiterated our concerns about [Deputy Assistant Attorney General] Nicholas McQuaid's conflicts with the Hunter Biden criminal case in light of his prior working relationship with Hunter Biden's criminal defense attorney.

"We also asked USA Weiss whether, in light of the Biden family's connections in Delaware, anyone in his office is recused from the matter. To date, the Biden administration has refused to answer whether there have been any recusals from the Hunter Biden criminal case based on conflicts of interest or other reasons."

File 2022-07-07 CEG RHJ to DOJ FBI (Hunter Biden McQuaid).pdf Johnson and Grassley conducted an extensive investigation for years into Hunter Biden's overseas business dealings, concluding they posed serious conflicts of interests and national security concerns that potentially compromised his father's dealings with countries like Russia, China and Ukraine.

They also made public Suspicious Activity Reports from banks to the government flagging certain Hunter Biden-tied transactions for possible money laundering, including payments to Russian and Ukrainian women tied to a suspected sex trafficking operation.

The senators said in their new letter that recent allegations suggesting Joe Biden sent some money to his son that was then redirected to pay for prostitution further heightens their concerns.

"In our September 2020 report," they wrote, "we noted that records in our possession indicated that 'Hunter Biden paid nonresident women in the United States who are citizens of Russia and Ukraine' and that some transactions are linked to what appears to be an Eastern European prostitution or human trafficking ring."

The senators demanded that Garland, Wray and Weiss answer a half dozen questions including whether the FBI is "investigating Hunter Biden for criminal violations relating to his reported use of escorts linked to human trafficking rings" and whether the U.S. government has "defensively briefed Hunter Biden for counterintelligence concerns raised by his close financial associations with individuals linked to the communist Chinese government and other foreign nations."

Elon Musk cancels bid to buy Twitter, Company to sue him to complete the deal

By Ben Whedon

Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Friday announced that he was canceling plans to purchase social media giant Twitter, citing the company's failure to produce information on fake accounts while Twitter announced it would sue him to complete the deal.

Musk sent a letter to Twitter's board of directors on Friday announcing he would not acquire the company. He told the Securities and Exchange Commission that Twitter has “not complied with its contractual obligation," according to the Associated Press.

Twitter announced it would sue Musk to complete the 11-figure purchase and was "confident" the firm would succeed, the AP later reported.

Musk secured a deal to purchase the company for $44 billion in late April.

The world's richest man was repeatedly critical of the company's censorship policies, sparking speculation a Musk-run Twitter would reverse its practices. Musk confirmed he would reverse the permanent ban the company placed on former President Donald Trump.

The purchase itself faced several hurdles including SEC scrutiny, substantial employee concerns within Twitter, and objections from Musk himself over the company's handling of bot accounts.

In June, Twitter allowed Musk to view it's "firehouse" collection of raw data on the hundreds of millions of daily tweets, Reuters noted.

Company officials on Thursday said Twitter removes roughly 1 million spam accounts on a daily basis.

Donald Trump warns removing tariffs 'would be the greatest gift that China could ever receive'

By Madeleine Hubbard

Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday warned against removing the tariffs on China that he put in place, stating the potential Biden administration move "would be the greatest gift that China could ever receive."

President Joe Biden said in May he was "considering" lifting the tariffs. The administration hopes the move would ease record-high inflation, which hit 8.6% in May.

"Believe it or not, it is looking more and more like the United States is getting ready to remove the Tariffs on China. This would be a terrible mistake," former President Trump wrote on his platform, Truth Social.

"These Tariffs have brought many Billions of Dollars to our Country, and made affected businesses, such as steel, viable again in the United States," he noted. "Doing this would be the greatest gift that China could ever receive."

The Trump administration imposed the tariffs as part of an "America First" economic plan. "In January 2018, the Trump Administration found that China’s overproduction of steel and aluminum, and the resulting impact on global markets, is a circumstance that threatens to impair America’s national security," the Trump White House wrote in a 2018 factsheet about Trump's trade policies.

China stopped importing U.S. agricultural products, but Trump noted in his Truth Social post how he compensated farmers for their losses.

"Our Farmers alone got $28 billion as a gift from me, that came directly out of the Tariffs because of the way they were abused by China. Taking these Tariffs off would be a clear signal that the United States is weak, ineffective, and doing BUSINESS AS USUAL," he stressed.

Trump went on to criticize senators, such as former Vice Presidential candidate Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), for supporting the removal of the tariffs.

"Certain Senators are fighting hard to get this done, even saying such ridiculous things as it 'causes inflation.' Those Senators should be questioned as to their real motives!" Trump urged.

Despite Biden pleas to make midterms referendum on abortion, issue not a top concern in polls

By Nicholas Ballasy

President Joe Biden is calling on Americans to vote for Democrats in response to the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, but polling shows abortion is not a top concern for the American electorate.

"We need two additional pro-choice senators and a pro-choice House to codify Roe as federal law," Biden said on Friday when signing an executive order related to expanding abortion access. "Your vote can make that a reality. For God's sakes, there's an election in November. Vote, vote, vote."

A Monmouth University poll released Tuesday asked respondents to identify the biggest concern facing their family right now. In total, 66% cited inflation, gas prices, unemployment, economy and paying everyday bills. Abortion came in as a top concern for just 5%. An Associated PressNORC poll released Friday found that most Americans view economic issues as their top concern.

"Forty percent of U.S. adults specifically name inflation in an openended question as one of up to five priorities for the government to work on in the next year, according to a June poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research," read an AP summary of the poll's findings. "That's a sharp rise from 14% in December and less than 1% the year prior. In all, 77% mention the economy in any way, up from 68% in December."

Pollster Scott Rasmussen told Just the News that "the top 3 issues are still inflation, inflation, and inflation."

Inflation is currently at a 40-year high, and gas prices are averaging close to $5 a gallon nationally.

Biden's approval rating has dropped to a new low of 36%.
