@WWG1WGA301 Did Katie Couric just argue that 44,000 cases of violent criminal acts out of 400,000 isn’t enough to do anything about it? Does she actually believe what she’s saying?

[Peter Bernegger @PeterBernegger]

Most people have no idea what President Trump’s new election-mail Executive Order USPS rule actually does.

1. Plain English: it creates a chain-of-custody system for mail ballot envelopes in federal elections.

2. Not the vote, the envelope.

3. Under the proposed USPS rule, states using mail-in or absentee ballots for federal elections would have to use standardized ballot envelopes:

-Official Election Mail logo
-Automation-compatible design
-Unique Intelligent Mail barcode
-USPS review of envelope/barcode placement

4. That means the ballot envelope becomes trackable.

5. States or election mailers would also submit key data through a USPS portal:

-Voter name
-Voter address
-Outbound envelope barcode
-Return envelope barcode
-Originating election office state

6. So officials can know: this ballot envelope was sent out, and this return envelope came back.

7. USPS would review outbound ballot mail before accepting it.

-Is it in the right envelope?
-Does it have the proper barcode?
-Is it going to someone enrolled on that state’s mail-
ballot participation list?

8. If not, the mailing goes back to the election mailer to fix.

9. The broader Executive Order also directs DHS + SSA to help create State Citizenship Lists using federal citizenship, naturalization, SSA, SAVE, and related data.

10. Those lists go to state election officials before federal elections.

11. Important: states still run voter registration. The federal list does not register anyone by itself.

12. Bottom line: this is not “tracking your vote.”

13. It tracks the envelope, creates a sent-vs-returned audit trail, helps flag discrepancies, preserves ballot-envelope records, and leaves states responsible for their voter rolls.

14. Chain of custody is not suppression. It is basic election accountability.

15. I used “proposed rule” because USPS has not finalized the rule yet.

16. The proposal says it applies to general, special, and runoff federal elections, not primaries or UOCAVA military/overseas ballots, and it requires unique barcodes on outbound and return envelopes.

17. The rule would require voter name/address plus outbound and return envelope barcode data through a USPS portal, with updates allowed until the last day ballots may be mailed under state law.

18. It also says USPS does not alter voter eligibility or manage state voter rolls.

19. The EO separately directs DHS/SSA to create State Citizenship Lists and directs DOJ enforcement and five-year preservation of participation records, excluding cast ballots.

20. There is one more thing it does, all I'll say is, watch out ballot mills. 😎

The comments by reporters endorsing the cold-blooded murder of a husband and father are absolutely reprehensible. No decent human being should be celebrating or justifying the execution of another person because they disagree with his business practices or politics. The normalization of this kind of rhetoric is dangerous and morally bankrupt.

What makes this even more disturbing is that some of the individuals making these statements hold official NYC press credentials. Press passes exist to provide legitimate journalists access to scenes, events, and restricted areas so they can inform the public, not so radical activists can masquerade as members of the media while promoting extremism and political violence.

Over the past several years, we have repeatedly seen individuals carrying press credentials using them during demonstrations and events to harass police officers, intimidate members of the public, interfere with law enforcement operations, and shield activist behavior behind the label of “journalism.” That undermines the credibility of legitimate reporters and creates serious public safety concerns.

After hearing from multiple reporters with decades of experience reporting in NYC, before I left office, my administration was going through the process of rewriting the rules governing NYC press credentials to strengthen standards, protect the integrity of the press corps, and prevent political activists posing as journalists from obtaining official credentials and the access that comes with them. As your own publication reported, those proposed reforms were going through the rule-making process before being scrapped by the current administration:

That decision was reckless. Official press credentials should not be handed out in a way that allows extremists to abuse them while hiding behind the credibility and protections afforded to legitimate journalism.

This needs to change, and it needs to change now.

I have never seen Border Czar Tom Homan cry before.

I was not expecting this response.

Stop scrolling and watch this…

Tom Homan just gave a raw, emotional answer on what drives his passion for securing the border and finding missing children:

“I’ve talked to young girls as young as nine years old that were raped multiple times by members of the cartel to pay for passage to come into the United States. When you get on your knees and you talk to a nine-year-old little girl, and you look in her eyes and everything in her is dead, her life is ruined forever. Your heart breaks.”

Homan began crying real tears talking about his own children.

“I’ve stood on the back of a tractor trailer when 19 dead aliens that died baked to death, including a five-year-old little boy that baked to death and begged his father not to let him die… And when I went to that crime scene, I had a five-year-old son at the time. That little boy was wearing the same underwear my little boy had. That messed me up for a while.”

This is why Tom Homan accepted the job as Border Czar.

The left calls him evil — but he has a heart of gold.

The reason he’s so tough on border security is because he’s seen firsthand the horror an open border creates — and how securing it saves thousands of innocent lives.

🚨 Exposing California's corrupt "Stop Nick Shirley Act", instead of going after the fraudsters California is now going after the people exposing the fraud.

This bill AB 2624 will:
- Criminalize journalists with misdemeanors, $10,000 fines, imprisonment, and content takedown
- Let immigrant based NGOs' funding be confidential
- Take away freedom of the press from journalists
- Protect any "immigration support services" information from being public (healthcare, legal services, etc)

This bill was created by the Attorney General's WIFE Mia Bonta to stop fraud from being exposed. Please like and share this video everywhere! By trying to silence and intimidate journalists, they are trying to hide the truth from you. EXPOSE ALL THE FRAUD.

🚨 Bill O’Reilly just EXPOSED a TikTok account that is producing completely FAKE videos about ICE.

“It’s a phony! They’re actors — NO disclaimer that we could find! NONE!”

The scarier part, O’Reilly says, is that liberal journalists were sending him the fake video to use it as justification against ICE.

O’REILLY: “Right after that dropped I got all kinds of texts from my liberal friends, ‘See! See! See! See! See!’”

“And I said, let me check this out.”

“It’s a phony! They’re actors. It’s a set that they used.”

“They had to spend some money on this. It was a complete phony!”

“No disclaimer that we could find! NONE!”

“Just threw it on up!”

“Millions of people believed it was true...including...and I mean, among my friends who texted me are journalists, sophisticated people.”

With just 4 minutes left, Jason “J-Mac” McElwain stepped on the court and caught absolute 🔥

He drained six 3-pointers and scored 20 points in one of the most electric moments in high school sports history.
The gym erupted. The opposing fans stood and cheered. Pure joy.
This wasn’t just a basketball story, it was a reminder that belief + opportunity can create magic.

Carmel, IN replaced 120 stop lights with roundabouts and this happened:

🚨 90% drop in fatal crashes
🚨 40% drop in total crashes
🚨 $21.6 million saved in long-term maintenance

And that $21.6m isn't even counting the enormous financial savings of preventing crashes. 🤯
