The conservative Heritage Foundation searched 24 years of elections and found only 77 undocumented immigrants who voted. That’s just 0.00000764% of all ballots cast. The facts don’t match the fear campaign.

BREAKING🚨 Kash Patel told the Senate he's unsure whether federal law bars the FBI from sending armed agents to polling places — a crime punishable by five years in prison.
At a Senate Judiciary oversight hearing Tuesday, Sen. Peter Welch pressed the FBI director on whether agents would be dispatched to the polls in the midterms. "I don't know that we can't legally do it," Patel answered.
He said the FBI will house agents and intelligence analysts in its field offices for election security, and that monitoring elections is mainly the Department of Homeland Security's job.
The law he says he's unsure about is 18 U.S.C. § 592. It makes it a crime for a federal official to order or keep "troops or armed men" at any place where an election is held, punishable by up to five years in prison and disqualification from federal office. The single exception is force needed to "repel armed enemies of the United States."
The Justice Department's own longstanding election-crimes guidance spells it out further: federal prosecutors have "no authority to send FBI Special Agents or Deputy U.S. Marshals to polling places," and agents cannot run investigations inside a polling place on Election Day.
Sen. Peter Welch asked Patel directly: "Do you pledge that you will not in any way interfere in the will of the American people when they go to the polls in November?"
"I pledge unequivocally that I will not participate in your charade of lies," Patel replied. He later called Welch a "total fraud."
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said two weeks ago that ICE agents could walk into a polling place to serve a warrant, telling reporters, "If we're serving a warrant we will be where we need to be."
Then-acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has also declined to rule out agents at voting sites, saying, "I am not sure of the uproar.

Trump 'deciding' whether to 'blow the entire nation up' in Iran threat
James Powel, USA TODAY
Updated Sun, September 20, 2026 at 3:38 PM EDT
President Donald Trump told Fox News in a Sept. 20 interview that he is "deciding" on the possibility of escalating the U.S. war on Iran.
"My question is, if and when do I blow the entire nation up? They better behave," said Trump, adding that "very big things" will happen in the war without elaborating on what that would entail.
Trump told Fox News' Trey Yingst that he is "open" to meeting with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian during the United Nations General Assembly in New York this week.
Trump has repeatedly raised the possibility of major military escalations during the conflict that began with U.S. and Israeli strikes on Feb. 28, but has not followed through on those proposals. [IT'S CALLED TACO]!
The exchange of threats comes as the war has already taken its toll on U.S. allies in the Gulf.
Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi group launched missile and drone strikes at the Saudi capital of Riyadh on Sept. 19, after having made sudden military gains in Yemen's reignited civil war earlier this month. Video published by Reuters showed a massive plume of black smoke billowing from the area of Riyadh's main international airport following booms overnight.
The Houthi gains along the Red Sea coast mean the group's forces now sit on the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, giving them easier control over shipping travelling between the Red Sea and Asia and the ability to blockade the crucial waterway.
With Iran already having blockaded most shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, the oil-rich Gulf's energy exports are now almost entirely cut off from global markets, adding to pressure on oil prices.
Despite the economic damage, there is little sign of reviving the interim ceasefire struck in June that fell apart in July amid disputes over its terms.
Iran war costs drivers at pump, US military
The oil price crunch has sent diesel prices to record highs, causing pain for drivers at the pump.
The national average for diesel hit over $6.50 per gallon, the latest record high according to AAA. The price of a gallon of regular gas topped $4.47, more than $1.29 higher than a year ago.
The war has cost the U.S. military at least $43.6 billion as of Sept. 3, according to an update shared with congressional national security committees by U.S. Central Command.
The cost update is almost certainly an undercount, according to previous USA TODAY reporting. It does not include costs to repair buildings at U.S. bases across the Middle East that were damaged or destroyed by Iranian strikes during the war, including the U.S. Navy's logistics hub in Bahrain.
The Pentagon estimated it has spent $28.1 billion to replace expended munitions like bombs and air defense interceptors. The prolonged conflict in the Middle East has caused a shortage of critical munitions that could leave the United States vulnerable in other parts of the world, such as the Indo-Pacific.
At least 18 Americans have died, and more than 800 have been wounded since the start of the conflict.

FOX NEWS … never seems to question the narrative, and consequently, their reporters aren’t barred from the White House. So, here are some facts:
The day Joe Biden left office on January 20, 2025, the U.S. national average for diesel fuel was $3.71 per gallon, today it’s $6.49 per gallon.
The inflation rate was 3.0% - it’s now 3.4%. Home Mortgage and the Prime interest rates are also both higher.
Since day 1 of the Trump administration, overall grocery prices have steadily increased, and some food staples have jumped sharply:
☕️ Ground Coffee: Up roughly 20% to 35% (averaging over $9.30/lb).
🥩 Ground Beef & Steak: Up 18% to 23% due to tight cattle supplies.
🍊Orange Juice: Up about 20%.
🥬 Fresh Produce: Romaine and select fruits/vegetables elevated by 5% to 15%.
🥚 ⬇️ EGG Prices have seen a major DROP under President Trump, down about 30%. In the final months of Biden, the country experienced a severe outbreak of Avian flu, forcing millions of chickens to be euthanized.
🥔 ⬇️ Potatoes are also cheaper under Trump, about 3%.
This isn’t “FAKE NEWS,” it’s not “Leftist News,” and it’s not biased news. It’s FACTUAL information, with numbers supplied by the Trump administration’s U.S. Dept. of Agriculture and the Department of Labor Statistics. 📈
Thought you’d want to know the truth. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

… this is really good … President Trump is an amazing individual …
… I knew a little about the Monroe Doctrine from High School but his application of it in geopolitics demonstrates he is not the uneducated doofus much of the left has labeled him to be …
… the man is an untiring genius running our country … I don't agree with everything he does but I don't see anything uplifting or problem solving from the opposition …

What The Monroe Doctrine Actually Means
With everything happening with Greenland, I think this is worth explaining because the Monroe Doctrine is becoming relevant again in a way most Americans probably have not thought about in years.
The Monroe Doctrine dates back to President James Monroe’s message to Congress in 1823. In simple terms, Monroe warned European powers against further colonization or political interference in the Western Hemisphere. At the same time, the United States said it would stay out of European affairs and would not interfere with European colonies that already existed in the Americas.
So the original Monroe Doctrine did not mean the United States owned or controlled the Western Hemisphere. It established the principle that what outside powers did in this hemisphere was a direct concern of the United States.
More than 200 years later, President Trump’s administration has formally introduced what it calls the “Trump Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine.” The National Security Strategy says the United States intends to prevent competitors from outside the Western Hemisphere from positioning military forces or controlling strategically important assets here.
That is where Greenland comes in
President Trump made the connection himself at the World Economic Forum in Davos on January 21. He described Greenland as part of North America, on the northern frontier of the Western Hemisphere, called it a core national security interest of the United States, and said it has been American policy for hundreds of years to prevent outside threats from entering this hemisphere.
On Friday, Greenland, Denmark and the United States announced that they expect to sign a new security agreement next week during the United Nations General Assembly. The agreement is intended to strengthen security in Greenland, the Arctic and the North Atlantic while recognizing the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark and the Greenlandic people’s right to self-determination.
That is why the Monroe Doctrine connection matters. The original doctrine was about preventing outside powers from expanding their influence into the Western Hemisphere. The Trump Corollary applies that same basic hemispheric security principle to the modern world, including military positioning and control of strategically important assets.
Greenland sits directly inside that conversation.
