Election Day and Election Reforms (Not
Week, Month, Season)

The United States Supreme Court is finally ruling on an issue (Watson v. RNC) that should have been decided long ago: the dissonant practice of accepting ballots after the Election Day deadline. This case could indeed shift the 2026 midterms in Republicans’ favor, since Democrats often win by broad and unjustified election expansion, which opens the door to cheating, stuffing, and undoing the vote. More election cases are coming before the United States Supreme Court, and the conservative majority looks more inclined to bring the much-needed order and common sense back to our elections.

Reminder: “WE ARE A SALON AND NOT A SALOON”

Your thoughts, comments, and ideas are always welcome here. But we ask you to please be mindful and respectful. Threatening or crude language doesn't persuade anybody and makes the conversation less enjoyable for fellow L.Dotters.

When you have a large part of the population hell bent on cheating and no one is ever held accountable, reform won't work. They'll just find better ways to cheat.

A Democratic activist says a number of women are preparing to accuse California Rep. Eric Swalwell of sexual misconduct. Cheyenne Hunt, an attorney, former congressional candidate, and executive director of Gen Z for Change, said she has been working with multiple individuals who intend to come forward. In a post on the X platform, Hunt said the allegations involve “DMs and Snapchat messages” and range “from uncomfortable comments to potentially criminal conduct.” “I got involved because the first victim who approached me is a close friend,

Billy Bush recently appeared on the new Sean Hannity podcast and said that after the 2016 election, ABC News devoted an entire division of people to taking down Trump. This is not exactly shocking news, but it is a third party confirmation of what Trump supporters have known for years – That the media has been out to ‘get’ Trump since the moment he won the presidency. Before that, even. Of course, left wing networks like MSNOW are devoted to the same purpose, but at least they are up front about their biases. ABC News pretends to maintain some semblance of objectivity.

At White Papers, our core premise is that Western nations deserve to protect their sovereignty, their political institutions, and their founding demography and to build a future free from interference by alien cultures or hostile elites. The reality is that the nations of the West are at risk. The peoples native to Europe and those who founded Western nations like America are at risk of becoming minorities in their homelands after decades of unwanted mass immigration, facilitated by our own elite political class. In some cases, this was done for ideological reasons (globalism). In other cases, it was to drive down the cost of labor for short-term gains.

With war in Iran, Uncle Sam needs as many troops as he can get his hands on at the moment. One traditional human pipeline of future new recruits has long been the Boy Scouts of America, with around 10-16% of military cadets having been introduced to the fine world of outdoor pursuits (as shooting foreigners in the head does tend to be) by scoutmasters as children. But over recent years, recruiting sergeants have begun noticing a distinct decline in the quality of trainees sourced from the Scouts, such fresh cannon-fodder seeming increasingly gay, soft and useless.

We’ve seen this movie before: legalized discrimination hiding behind phrases like “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” and “ensuring equitable outcomes.” What those ideas have repeatedly been shown to be in practice is an effort to favor certain “disadvantaged” people at the expense of the so-called “privileged” class. President Donald Trump has fought against these efforts since his first day back in office when he signed his executive order, “Ending Radical And Wasteful Government DEI Programs And Preferencing,” and has tried to rid the federal government of prejudiced policies. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, however, isn’t interested in removing bias from our system; he’d rather promote it. On Monday,

There are no ‘civilians,’ in the Western sense, in Iran, and the IRGC uses the infrastructure for its war aims. Ihesitate to keep hammering at the same themes at the risk of exhausting our readers’ patience, but I cannot stress enough the importance of trying to see the conflict in Iran as it is seen by the Shiite fundamentalist Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). It is a strategic error to see it as we would see it if we were under military attack, let alone as it is seen by the progressive-leaning, America-hostile media. On that score,

On Sunday, President Donald Trump announced that U.S. special operations forces executed a high-risk raid deep into enemy territory, successfully extracting an injured colonel under fire, without payment to the Iranian regime in the form of pallets of cash or lifted sanctions. The mission, which involved dozens of aircraft and coordinated deception efforts, was hailed by Trump as one of the most extraordinary rescues in military history, adhering to what was once considered a concrete rule to not negotiate with terrorists and to never leave an American war fighter behind.

group of immigration law and policy experts, including former senior immigration enforcement officials, has proposed a solution to help the Trump administration implement a mass deportation plan. After more than 14 million illegal border crossers were reported during the Biden administration, and millions more are believed be living illegally in the country, finding them is a monumental task, they argue. One of President Donald Trump’s campaign promises was to “conduct the largest mass deportation operation in American History.” Of the more than 2.5 million illegal foreign nationals who were removed, the overwhelming majority, 1.9 million, self-deported, The Center Square reported.

Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers has signed a pair of bills into law aimed at providing more transparency into teacher’s license investigations related to sexual misconduct and prevents local school officials from entering into agreements to hide information related to staff immoral conduct. Senate Bill 785 requires the state Department of Public Instruction to keep a free, online searchable platform to include information on teachers who have had their licenses revoked and who are investigated by DPI. The portal must name the license holder and the outcome of the investigation and must include if the teachers’ license holder voluntarily surrendered his or her license to avoid further investigation.

Despite repeated claims by Trump administration officials, Mexico is not delivering water as promised to South Texas in accordance with a long-standing treaty. In January, Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins and Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced an agreement had been reached with Mexico to deliver water to South Texas. In February, Rollins again said South Texas ranchers and farmers would be getting water, after also making the claim last year. Six weeks later, South Texas ranchers and farmers say they still aren’t getting the water. By the end of March, “The Mexican government is in default AGAIN on the 202k acre-feet of water they committed to deliver to South Texas.

When you think about Delaware, you’re probably not thinking about shady financial firms or Joe Biden, but I repeat myself, still you may want to think about something else because the state has named January ‘Muslim Heritage Month’. Indeed, nothing says Muslim heritage like Delaware. What brought on this particular bout of Islamization? The resolution came from Rep. Madinah Wilson-Anton. We covered her in our first edition of Election Jihad for making a scene by screeching about ‘genocide’ at Kamala Harris. Wilson-Anton, the first Muslim elected in Delaware, has all sorts of thoughts about Islamic terrorism.

Leave it to the woke left to ignore, well, reality. In the latest episode of Woke Progressives Gone Wild, former women's soccer player Megan Rapinoe is back to her usual shenanigans, denying biology in favor of having dudes play in women's sports. You'd think, having been a soccer player, a sport which I am given to understand required speed, strength, agility, and endurance, she's know better; but, clearly, she doesn't know, or care, about the differences between men and women. Former U.S. women’s soccer star Megan Rapinoe ripped the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for implementing a new policy to ensure fairness across women’s competitions.

The leader of a trade group that represents most major automakers called on the federal government to eliminate its gasoline tax and replace it with a vehicle fee to finance road infrastructure needs. Alliance for Automotive Innovation CEO John Bozzella, whose group represents automakers such as General Motors, Toyota, Volkswagen, Hyundai and other leading car manufacturers, put forward a proposal that urged the federal government to address the growing shortfall in the Highway Trust Fund with a vehicle fee. The proposal would function like a vehicle registration fee that’s assessed on all vehicles based on their weight, and was first reported by Reuters. It comes as the federal government’s

Pope Leo XIV used part of his Palm Sunday message to castigate the United States for attempting to stop Iran from becoming a nuclear power and threatening the world with mass destruction. In doing so, the "American Pope" confused the real enemy in the war. Addressing thousands in St. Peter's Square, the Pope claimed that God rejects the prayers of leaders who wage war. He called the Iran war "atrocious" violence that cannot be justified by faith. He further said that God doesn't hear the prayers of people whose "hands (are) full of blood."

One of the past decade’s most polarizing figures in American sports will publish a book, nearly 10 years to the day after the moment that dramatically changed, and prematurely ended, his NFL career. Colin Kaepernick has announced plans to publish The Perilous Fight on September 15, 2026, two weeks after the 10-year anniversary of the moment he was first spotted sitting during the national anthem before a preseason game. He’d been sitting during the anthem throughout the 2016 preseason. For the September 1 game, he was in uniform for the first time, making the gesture conspicuous and noticeable. What followed

Fitzpatrick said the US will be “turning off incubators for babies,” while Dozier claimed the US is about to violate the Geneva Conventions like Russia had in Ukraine. Furthermore, at the end of the hour-long morning show, a discussion ensued between Cornish and Fitzpatrick, which worried almost only about the “cost” of the rescue mission of a U.S. Military pilot.

The U.S. government is using AI to locate and arrest migrants who are accused of being in the United States illegally. According to several reports, the Department of Homeland Security is hiring a litany of private contractors and giving them the names of thousands of migrants. The contractors are then using artificial intelligence to find the migrants. The process of using AI, public records, databases, online information and surveillance is called “skip tracing.” It’s been used by debt collectors, bail bondsmen and private investigators for years. But reports say DHS is paying private companies billions of dollars to use this process to find migrants for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement

President Trump used his Truth Social account to warn Iran that its “whole civilization will die tonight” unless “something revolutionarily wonderful” happens. “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will,” Trump warned. “However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS?” “We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World,” the president added. “47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end.
