THEY WON’T DEFEND IT: Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson created a new rule ordering clerks to destroy election records. My client sued because it forces her to break federal law. Benson filed twenty-three pages trying to get the case thrown out, and NOT ONE ARGUMENT to say her rule is legal.
Read it yourself. Their brief tells the court that their own Director of Elections “cannot offer a substantive argument in response to Plaintiff’s complaint without tipping his hand.”
And this: "it remains to be seen whether Defendants will have the same legal position regarding the rule."
They have previously argued that the rule violates no law, including the federal statute. They just won’t say it to a judge here in Michigan.
So what did they try to argue?
That she WAITED TOO LONG, in a case filed EIGHT DAYS after the election, after asking them TWICE to clarify the rule, the first time last fall.
That any determination about Benson’s rule belongs in a “process” run by the department my client sued.
Never once in twenty-three pages did Benson argue a clerk can DESTROY federal election records in seven days when federal law says KEEP them twenty-two months.
That is the ENTIRE CASE. Twenty-three pages from Benson on why a judge shouldn’t answer this important legal question, and NOTHING on what the answer is.
Our response went in yesterday afternoon to the judge. The RNC filed an amicus brief as well.
And their own sworn affidavit says they still want to send election record destruction “guidance” to Michigan's 1,500 local clerks later this week.
Read it yourself.

When we took over, the FBI Laboratory faced a DNA-processing backlog of more than 1.81 MILLION samples.
Today: ZERO.
🔺 1.81M+ samples processed
🔺 Backlog had been growing by roughly 75,000 samples per month
🔺 Hundreds of thousands of samples were arriving each year
🔺 Profiles can help solve homicides, sexual assaults, mass shootings, and other violent crimes
🔺 Equipment upgraded
🔺 Resources redirected
🔺 Technology improved
🔺 Bureaucratic barriers removed
DNA profiles belong in CODIS helping law enforcement solve crimes—not stalled in a government backlog.
Under President Trump’s leadership, we are rebuilding the FBI around one standard: MISSION FIRST.

I have lived in America long enough to learn one absolute rule: Americans will argue about everything.
They argue about barbecue sauce. They argue about the weather. They argue about which truck brand can pull a heavier oak tree. In Tennessee, I once watched two men debate mayonnaise brands with the intensity of two samurais preparing for a duel at sunrise.
So yesterday, when I entered a diner off the highway and saw complete, heavy silence, I prepared for battle.
Every truck driver had removed his baseball cap. The TV in the corner was playing a message from a nephew. Men with beards down to their chests were quietly staring at their coffee cups.
"Charlene," I whispered to the waitress, keeping my hand near my side. "Has a foreign king declared war upon the republic?"
"No, honey," Charlene said, her voice shaking slightly as she wiped the counter with unusual slowness. "Aunt Dolly passed away. She went to rest on a bed of cotton."
I did not know this Aunt Dolly. But as I listened, I learned this woman gave over two hundred million books to children with no castle of their own, wrote songs that healed entire valleys, and spent eighty years wearing fifty pounds of shiny rhinestones so that everyone else could feel joy.
When a great feudal lord passes in Japan, the province weeps for forty days. Here, Charlene just put on a record called '9 to 5,' and fifteen grown men softly sang the chorus while staring at their hash browns.
I stood up, bowed ninety degrees to the television screen, and recited my deepest respect for the Queen of Tennessee.
Charlene gave me extra bacon and told me that Dolly would have liked my armor, though she would have probably glued glitter on the helmet.

America,
What is it going to take for our elected officials to actually care about fraud in our elections?
🚨🚨GRETCHEN WHITMER JUST REFUSED TO INVESTIGATE MICHIGAN’S BOTCHED PRIMARY — EVEN AFTER ABDUL EL-SAYED GOT THREE TIMES MORE VOTES IN DETROIT THAN THERE ARE REGISTERED VOTERS!
The cover-up continues in Michigan.
Governor Gretchen Whitmer says she refuses to investigate the results of the state’s botched primary election, even though there’s credible evidence of tampering.
“I’m not going to give in to conspiracy theories,” Whitmer said. “There were no anomalies with this election.”
She made that statement despite the fact that Abdul El-Sayed received three times as many votes in Detroit as there are registered voters.
“The election is over.”
When the numbers are this impossible and the governor still won’t look… you know exactly what’s going on.
Share this everywhere so Michigan and the whole country see the denial!
🚨 Multiple foreign nationals have voted in Michigan elections.
This is not a conspiracy theory.
Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson has acknowledged that noncitizens have voted.
Now she is using her office to fight voter ID and suppress the voices of 700,000 Michiganders who signed the petition to put Citizens Only Voting on the ballot this November. The same election she’s overseeing while running for governor.
Benson is either corrupt or incompetent… or BOTH.
You asked for results, we made the changes necessary for this FBI to deliver- one example, DNA:
We are statutorily required under the “DNA Fingerprint Act of 2005” to receive and process collected DNA samples from federally convicted offenders, arrestees, and non-U.S. citizen detainees.
These samples are required to be sent to the FBI Laboratory Division (LD) for processing – we get around 50k a month. This literally solves crimes across the country, like unsolved homicides, mass shootings, sexual assaults, and other violent offenses.
There had been a massive backlog at the FBI Lab for decades. On August 1, 2024, the pending DNA backlog for these samples was over 1.81 million, literally breaking federal statutory requirements. A typical example of institutionalized bureaucracy from prior leadership that left crimes across America unsolved.
When we got here, we changed it. This FBI dedicated more resources, more equipment, improved IT systems, and used business analytics for DNA processing.
TODAY - that DNA backlog is officially at ZERO.
Just more evidence of the monumental and necessary changes made by this FBI. Thank you, FBI Lab Division.

I have worked sixty hours a week with motor oil ground into my knuckles for twenty-five years.
Yesterday, I stood in a Walmart aisle for fourteen minutes, pressing a red plastic buzzer, waiting for an employee with a brass key so I could buy a twelve-dollar bottle of Tide.
My face was burning. I stood there staring through scratch-resistant plexiglass like a caged animal asking permission to wash my own work shirts.
While I waited, a man in a black hoodie walked through the front doors, loaded twenty-two boxes of baby formula into a laundry cart, walked past three cash registers, and pushed through the automatic sliding glass into the daylight.
Nobody moved. Nobody shouted. The manager stared down at his shoes.
Corporate policy. Do not intervene. Let it walk.
So let me get the rules straight:
The honest man stands behind the glass like a criminal.
The criminal walks through the front door like a customer.
When did paying your taxes make you the suspect in your own grocery store?
And how much longer do you think a working man is going to stand there waiting for a key?
National Security Emergency was just given Trump:
Michigan Sheriff has whistleblower in Secretary of State office: DMV/address computers rewired to register non-citizens to vote & send letter (making them blameless). Encryption added to prevent clerks from spotting.
RTW!
Abdul El-Sayed's House of Horrors
After he "fixed" a juvie jail, kids suffered rape, beatings, and were given expired meds
By Charlie LeDuff @Charlieleduff
Abdul El-Sayed, the unlicensed doctor, says he’s got the chops and experience to govern from D.C.
But does he?
On the campaign trail, on television, and online, he talks about his tenure as the Wayne County Health Director and his miraculous turn around of the fetid and violent juvenile detention facility.
“We had to rebuild it from the ground up,” he told a crowd of black pastors.
“We rebuilt it from the studs up,” he told a group of black Democrats.
“When the juvenile detention facility was in shambles, I declared a public health state of emergency to rebuild it,” he told CBS.
But those claims don’t hold up when you examine the officials records, court filings, or talk to people who actually worked at the juvenile jail. Those employees paint a picture of horror, abuse, and incompetence.
“Nothing was fixed,” said Jalal Malik-Ikram, a retired Detroit cop and former security officer at the juvenile jailhouse. “It was like prison. The kids called the shots, and their care and safety were beyond terrible.”
Malik-Ikram was fired for taking secret photographs to document the abuse. El-Sayed may have built the studs, but he forgot to lay a foundation.
“They were giving the kids expired medications,” Malik-Ikram said. “Or we couldn’t give the meds at all because it wasn’t safe. School? Education? There wasn’t none to speak of.”
El-Sayed came to work for Wayne County in 2023. His resume listed few professional jobs beyond his 16 months as the Detroit Health Director. He quit that job in 2017, ran for governor, and lost. From there he became a paid talking head for CNN during the Covid pandemic. Citing standard talking points, El-Sayed got most things wrong, including the benefits of school lockouts, masking outdoors, and the efficacy of the vaccine.
But El-Sayed was a “get” for the scandal-plagued county, whose Covid nursing home response was under intense scrutiny as was the plummeting life expectancy of Detroiters. In El-Sayed, they had themselves a real life TV doctor.
Wayne County paid him big—about $280,000 a year. That was $100,000 more than his predecessor, a black female, and $100,000 more than his successor, also a black female. This disparity came despite El-Sayed’s social justice position decrying the pay gap between white men and black women.
The month El-Sayed came aboard full-time with the county—March 2023—a 12-year-old boy was gang raped in the juvenile jail. Squalid and overcrowded, the deteriorating facility with overflowing sewage was a dumping ground not just for Detroit and Wayne County delinquents, but also for juveniles from across the state.
It was the embarrassed County Executive Warren Evans—not El-Sayed—who declared a three-month state of emergency. It was Evans who appointed El-Sayed his juvenile jail czar and handed him $10 million. El-Sayed spent the money. The kids got fresh underpants, the guards got a pay raise, but little else changed.
“[We] reorganized healthcare at the facility, raised salaries and wages by 35% to retain staff, and provided daily access to to hygiene products and clean underwear,” he told the Detroit News.
And it was Evans, the county executive, who lifted the emergency declaration in June 2023, calling El-Sayed’s 10-week tenure a great success.
But it wasn’t a great success. A week later, another kid was raped. Another week, and another beating. A few months later, the facility’s license was downgraded to a “provisional” status—requiring state supervision.
The findings by a state investigator were appalling—violence, irregular meals, 22-hour lockdowns.
In December 2023, two nurses filed a whistleblower lawsuit, alleging that they were fired after complaining to superiors that the children were being given expired medications.
In February 2024, the juvenile jail was given a second “provisional” license after a boy was savaged by other inmates.
Weeks later, a detention worker was charged and later convicted of the sexual assault of two boys. She is currently serving a 6-to-15-year prison sentence. One of the victims is now suing the county in federal court.
That’s when Malik-Ikram began snapping his photographs.
He tells the story of a gay teenager so distraught about being left in the general population that he pulled the florescent light bulbs out of the ceiling to harm himself.
“The kid ate the glass so they’d take him to the hospital,” Malik-Ikram recalled. “That way, he figured, when he come back to lock-up, he’d get placed on the safe floor. But they wouldn’t put him on the safe floor, so the kid would eat glass again. When that didn’t work, he got violent, and that’s when security officers slammed the kid’s head into the wall. I saw that, and I took pictures.”
Malik-Ikram was fired. He, too, has an active whistleblower lawsuit.
Last year, the children were moved into the new Wayne County Criminal Justice Complex, a project engulfed in corruption and cost-overruns. Violence and staffing levels remain serious issues there.
El-Sayed is now asking voters to consider his record at the juvenile jail as he pushes for Medicare for All when the truth is that he couldn’t manage medical care in a juvenile jailhouse.
But on the upside, he got kids toothbrushes and underpants.
Pakistanis have bought land in Chiba, Japan, and are planning to build the largest mosque in the country, including parking space for 500 cars.
He is openly bragging that Japan once had no mosques, and now they are being built across the country.
Deport!

Benson's bid for Michigan governor is in REAL trouble. It's encodified. It's election law.
I've talked with Democrats and Republicans who've been removed from the ballot for this.
No exceptions.
Benson should also resign as Secretary of State for obvious conflict of interest.
I think this is one of the hardest six-month stretches of my life coming up, between funding the hospital, getting it built, staffed, and creating all the protocols that we need to launch it.
We really are starting to head towards the home stretch now. I have to be honest if it wasn't for Tina I don't think we would have got this far. It's a phenomenally hard thing to do to build a hospital in Thailand but every single day I wake up in the morning and I think of Tina. It pushes myself and the whole team forwards to create something incredible for these street dogs.
Statement from Adm. Brad Cooper, CENTCOM commander:
@japan_nobunaga I enjoy your posts and align with your sensibilities. It’s really cool that you get revenue from X.
Have a blessed day…
from Ann Arbor, Michigan.
For years now, some hospitals and healthcare providers have been subjecting children to horrific, experimental treatments in service of radical gender ideologies. Today, thanks to the Wolves in White Coats report released by @HHSGov, we know why: profit. It turns out that convincing vulnerable children to reject their gender can create patients for life, earning hospitals tens of thousands of dollars in additional revenue per child.
The report contains deeply disturbing allegations, and I encourage every American and every parent, to read it. More than just pushing these procedures on kids, hospitals and providers may have been defrauding Medicaid and private insurers by using misleading or fraudulent billing codes to get insurance to cover the costs.
This PERFECTLY explains the Capitalism vs Socialism argument for America
“So now, Colombia rejected a socialist. Peru rejected a socialist. El Salvador, Chile, Honduras, Ecuador, Bolivia, Argentina all rejected Marxist or socialist leadership. And Venezuela was destroyed by socialism. Latin Americans are rejecting socialism after having tried it. So why are Americans accepting socialism, having never tried it?
Well, partially because most Americans don't know what socialism is
It's not healthcare for all or affordable housing. Socialism isn't a synonym for all the things I want, but I'm not getting in my capitalist country. It's not a vibe. It's an economic system characterized by collective or governmental ownership of the means of production. Means of production meaning infrastructure used to produce goods and services like factories, farms, and companies.
Capitalism also isn't a vibe. It's not billionaires and corporations controlling politics. It's not a synonym for all the things I hate about my country. It's an economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, AKA the means of production.
Now, just like Mac versus Windows, there are different versions of capitalism and socialism. Finland, Norway, Denmark, and Sweden are less capitalistic than America, but they are still capitalist. Although they have a few exceptions to the rule, private companies own the means of production, not the government in those countries.
Now, you might like certain programs that socialism promises, like universal healthcare, but those programs aren't tied to a specific operating system. You can run Photoshop on Mac or Windows, just like you can have universal healthcare in socialism or capitalism. But it seems we as a people keep getting more confused about what socialism is.
In 1949, 34% of Americans correctly identified socialism as government ownership of the economy. By 2018, only 17% did, and I suspect it's even worse now.
American politicians are confused, too. In 2015, Denmark's prime minister had to correct Bernie Sanders and say, "Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy. Denmark is a market economy." Zoran Mamdani is a democratic socialist. Democratic socialism is a version of socialism.
Now, you could argue that socialism just hasn't been done right yet. And when every socialist experiment at the national level in the 20th century failed, and every experiment in the 21st century is failing, maybe the problem isn't that socialism hasn't worked in practice, it, that it almost certainly can't work in principle.
And maybe the assertion that this time will be different isn't optimism, it's actually just unfalsifiability, where a theory cannot ever be contradicted by actual evidence.
We have bugs in this version of capitalism that need to be fixed, principally that there is too much money in politics, that billions of dollars speak louder than millions of voices. And you know what? The socialists might create healthy pressure to fix those bugs. That's good, but that's different than changing the whole operating system.
Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease. Because when there's never been a successful socialist country in history, and the countries who have actually experimented with it are abandoning it, the results start to speak for themselves. And lately, they're speaking Spanish.”
And just so we’re crystal clear, here are the stated goals of the Democratic Socialists of America in America
- Abolish the US Senate
- Replace the Presidency and Supreme Court
- Abolish the Electoral College
• Abolish police and the prison system
• Abolish ICE, grant amnesty to all immigrants and end visa restrictions
• Public ownership of the largest corporations
- Defund the US military
- End economic sanctions on Iran
- Government owned social housing
