Is There an Alien Voting Loophole in Federal Law?

Original Article

Over the last few days, I have gotten questions about a supposed federal law that creates a loophole allowing foreigners to vote in federal elections. Tracing this rumor backward, it seems the facund Tucker Carlson was witness to its birth. Someone on his show pushed the notion that foreigners have a free pass to vote in American elections because of a statutory “loophole” that lets them vote. So, is it true that federal law makes it possible for foreigners to vote? Not really. Let’s start with the good news: Many separate criminal statutes penalize foreigners registering and voting in the United States. Here’s a catalog.

No, and there are many sections of the law which make registering to vote if not a citizen, or to even claim falsely to be a citizen. We need to start STRINGENT, firmly enforcing tgese laws.

Excuse me ....in #1, that should be "make registering to vote if not a citizen, or to even claim falsely to be a citizen a federal felony." But, finding any federal prosecutor willing enforce the federal laws these days against ANYTHING illegal aliens do is impossible. ALL our federal "prosecutors" are actually crooked and do NOT enforce the laws.

I testified in a federal court for an employee who was told by a Chicago ward rep that he could vote in the election. The employee was not deported. That ward rep? Nothing!

The "someone on his show" was Catherine Englebrecht (of True the Vote) who has actually spent jail time over a matter of election integrity involving the Konnech corporation. Konnech is an election software company that is involved in records for election workers in multiple states of America. Catherine Englebrecht and Greg Phillips uncovered conclusive evidence that Konnech kept archives of its activites on servers based in China. [https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2022/10/31/catherine-englebrecht-and-gregg-phillips-put-in-jail-for-refusing-to-outline-sources-who-revealed-konnech-u-s-election-data-transfer-to-china/] In other words, the "someone" interviewed by Tucker Carlson is not some fly by night flake. Her concerns get my attention. It we have learned nothing else from the lawfare cases against Donald Trump it should be that the very slightest opening for legal malfeasance can be and will be exploited for evil. I am disappointed to see the opinion of a true patriotic warrior such as Catherine Englebrecht cast aside.

In August 2022, President Trump reported that he believed the FBI stole his will during the Biden-endorsed raid on Mar-a-Lago. The FBI also stole 1,800 other items that were not documents that belonged to President Trump. This was not lawful or necessary. It is also widely known at this point that Joe Biden who ordered the FBI access to Trump’s documents at Mar-a-Lago and President Trump’s personal belongings. On pages 2-3 of the ruling Judge Cannon revealed that it was JOE BIDEN who ordered the FBI access to the Mar-a-Lago documents and President Trump’s personal belongings.

Judge Juan Merchan issued a gag order on Donald Trump in March and has fined him multiple times for speaking out about the dubious business records case filed by NY District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Yet porn person Stormy Daniels and former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen have been free to sing from the hilltops about their disdain for the former president.

On Monday, more than 20 activists took over part of an administrative and academic building at the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, as part of the campus protest actions over Israel's actions in Gaza. They posted videos of their occupation, describing the piled-up chairs blocking the hall as a "thesis." There was also a picture painted on the wall of Leila Khaled, who was a plane hijacker, as a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), "a secular Palestinian Marxist–Leninist and revolutionary socialist organization."

Consider the timeline: On May 5th, Axios reported that the Biden administration was withholding a shipment of ammunition to Israel, in an effort to pressure the Israelis not to eliminate Hamas' final stronghold in the southern Gaza city of Rafah. For a few days, the administration refused to comment about this report. On May 7th, President Biden delivered a speech condemning anti-Semitism at the national Holocaust Museum, aligning with Holocaust Remembrance Day. During that speech, he described his support for Israel as "ironclad." Immediately following that address, administration officials began confirming the 'paused ammunition' report, affirmations that were reportedly delayed until after Biden's remarks.

Former President Donald Trump addressed reporters Friday afternoon after appearing in a Manhattan courthouse regarding the politically motivated “hush money” trial. Trump exited the courtroom three weeks after the trial began, saying that it was a “very dark day for New York City, New York State,” and “a very dark day for our nation." The former president declared the case to be a hoax, calling on the “corrupt thug” Judge Juan Merchan to throw the case out. He addressed the very real possibility that he may face jail time. He said he would be “proud” to go to jail for the U.S. Constitution.

A federal judge rejected efforts by Hunter Biden's attorneys to dismiss felony gun charges against him Thursday afternoon, setting in motion a trial for President Joe Biden's son in June. The younger Biden's attorneys argued the charges, which were filed after Hunter lied on a federal background check form about drug use while purchasing a handgun in 2018, are unconstitutional and a violation of Second Amendment rights. That argument didn't fly. "Defendant Robert Hunter Biden is charged with possession of a firearm by a prohibited person in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(3)1 and two false-statement counts under §§ 922(a)(6) and 924(a)(1)(A).

It’s not enough that pro-Hamas mayhem has overtaken college campuses nationwide.

We should put “hunger strike” in quotes since this is intermittent fasting. These kids are taking snack breaks—it’s the weakest sauce hunger strike ever.

Now, let’s move to the incompetence part of this presidency. It certainly played a factor in this decision to suspend arms shipments to Israel, but does Biden think he can pull a long con over the electorate here? Does this man believe he has the smarts and skills to sell to the antisemites and pro-Hamas supporters within the Democratic Party base that he’s tough on Israel while telling American Jews that our “ironclad” support for the Jewish state will remain? That’s the sticky wicket: Biden needs to kowtow, grovel, and appease vicious antisemites and supporters of radical Islam to keep his 2024 bid alive.

The poor dears at The New York Times who spend their days shrieking from fainting couches about a Donald Trump return to the White House would like you to know that their concerns are shared internationally. This is a continuation of an ages-old theme by the Democrats. In their telling of the story, the international community never likes a Republican president. I have no idea how long they've been peddling that story, but it's been boilerplate throughout my entire voting life, and I started with Reagan.

Joe Biden has told a lot of whoppers about his record. From his repeated claims of creating more jobs than any president in history to claiming the border is secure, he truly has no shame. Another favorite lie of his is that he's brought down inflation when in reality, inflation isn't down at all. The rate of inflation has just decreased — though it's going back up again. He may have told his biggest whopper yet on inflation during his CNN interview with Erin Burnett on Wednesday. "I mean, no president's had the run we have had, in terms of creating jobs and bringing down inflation," he told Burnett.

Lee and Turner Ashby, three men who led the pro-slavery Southern states during the Civil War. Mountain View High School will go back to the name Stonewall Jackson High School.

Bret Stephens warned his New York Times readers on Friday that Presidentish Joe Biden "just made his biggest blunder" when he paused delivery of more than 3,000 much-needed aerial bombs to Israel this week. Stephens is the NYT's Conservativish™ writer, so he must drag his readers to the truth like a dog on a leash when he figures out you're taking him to the vet. That's why Stephens has to include phrases like Biden's "laudable motive" and to remind readers that the absolute worst part is that the suspension is "a political gift to Donald Trump."

The issue arose after Johnston petitioned to have the group moved to more permanent shelters.

Force conversions to electric vehicles without putting the proper and sufficient charging infrastructure in place? Check. Manufacture millions (billions?) of solar panels with no disposal plan in place? Check. Build countless offshore wind “farms” without conducting studies to determine the impacts? Check.
