An election denier in Wisconsin who leads a conservative watchdog group was convicted of voter fraud and identity theft. Harry Wait claims he did it to prove the system is vulnerable to fraud. He's facing 8 years in prison. Watch Carl Higbie and other Newsmax bobbleheads try to spin it.

Senator Whitehouse is right, and this clip really shows what’s going on. Here we have four nominees for the bench, people who want to become judges, and they’re not able to say that Biden won the 2020 election, for fear of being disapproved of. Think about that. Over 60 judges said the election was free and fair and that Trump lost. Even AG Bill Barr and Voter Czar Chris Krebs, who were appointed by Trump, said he lost. Do you understand the level of dissonance required for someone committed to the law, someone who wants to be a judge, to not be able to state that basic fact? It’s really sad. Orwell's 2 + 2= 5 if Big Brother says so. But I want to reinforce something important: brainwashing doesn’t erase a person’s core self. It creates dissonance. But they will still have to face their family, their friends, and their law school classmates. What do you think about this? Put your comments below. Video credit: @brut

Jennifer Welch: “He spoke out explicitly, Jesus, against the accumulation of wealth. And the Republican party is all about the accumulation of wealth and scapegoating marginalized people. It is the most un-Christian political party we’ve ever seen”

How the hell did donald trump manage to convince Christians that he is one of them?????

politicians ignoing the will of the people...again

Republicans have controlled Ohio for 30 years.

@tomrare game is about to start

So many Ohioans are ready to cut off their nose to spite there face. Yet they won't elect new state representation after two decades of OhioGOP mismanagement. The problem isn't taxation it's a complete lack of representation. Why is this so hard for so many Ohioans to understand?

Of course

Commentary: Communities have always competed for economic advantage. Ohio's method of doing so over decades now has been to hand out subsidies, slash corporate taxes, and remove oversight and accountability. It hasn't worked very well for everyday people ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/04/03/tur…

Jesse Ventura: “I’m still not over January 6th. That was treason. All of the people should have been arrested and put in prison all the way to Trump because he and Giuliani and all of them orchestrated the whole thing. He tried to violate the Constitution”

Of course Xtian Nationalism would be working towards this.

OHIO JUST SHOWED THE WORLD HOW TO BUILD A POLICE STATE IN PLAIN SIGHT Ohio put your face in a database in 2013 and never told you. Every driver's license photo. Enrolled in facial recognition. No public hearing. No disclosure. 30,000 cops and court employees have access. But facial recognition was just the foundation. Here is the full surveillance architecture Ohio has deployed with zero regulation: 1/ TALEN: AI fusion platform merging body cams, dash cams, public cameras, private security cameras, social media feeds, ShotSpotter gunshot detection, and license plate readers into a single surveillance system. Rollout planned for 1,000 law enforcement agencies. 35,000 end users. 2/ AG Dave Yost signed a Clearview AI contract. Billions of scraped photos, now state-sanctioned. 3/ Safeguard Ohio: America's first AI suspicious activity system. Citizens upload video, audio, photos. An AI chatbot conducts the intake interview. Everything routes to the Statewide Terrorism Analysis and Crime Center. 4/ Flock Safety license plate readers across 24+ communities and 37 state highway patrol units. Cross-jurisdiction shared database. Deployed at schools. 5/ Autonomous drone fleets. Columbus PD RAVEN launches drones from patrol cars. Ohio State University launches drones from rooftops. Hamilton County fields 16 drones. 6/ Anduril Arsenal-1: a $1 billion, 5 million square foot autonomous weapons factory near Columbus producing AI-powered drones at industrial scale. None of this is regulated by state law. Not one piece of it. Now follow the money. Peter Thiel built Palantir into the world's dominant surveillance data company. He funded JD Vance's Senate campaign. Vance sat on the InnovateOhio board advocating mandatory digital IDs for all Ohioans. Vivek Ramaswamy is running for Ohio governor. His backers: Thiel, Vance, Joe Lonsdale, Howard Lutnick. Leslie Wexner, Jeffrey Epstein's primary financial patron, constructed New Albany, Ohio as a private technocratic enclave built on tax incentives. JobsOhio operates as a private corporation with $1.4 billion in taxpayer funds and no public transparency requirements. The architecture scales in one direction: local capture (New Albany tax deals), state capture (JobsOhio, InnovateOhio), federal capture (Vance as VP, DOGE), international export. Ohio is not an outlier. Ohio is the template for every state in America. Bookmark this. Send it to everyone in Ohio. Then check what your own state is building.

It really is insane to me that Trump fucking the economy six ways to Sunday isn't getting more media coverage.

Commentary: Ohio lawmakers continue to insist they are acting “to protect children” but instead of addressing the actual, documented leading cause of death for children in our state, gun violence, they are spending their time restricting drag performances. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/04/01/ban…

10,000 Veterans and their families to lose their homes due to Trump's VA: npr.org/2026/04/02/nx-…

@JeffFilippi does anyone know if Drury is going to sign more college players?

@WhiteHouse But that oil is extracted by private contractors who sell most of that oil abroad, and what it sells to us, domestically, is based on the WORLD OIL PRICE, so we have to pay more for it in America anyway. There's no winning here. You don't tell MAGA that, do you?

Vivek Ramaswamy's plan to close our universities won’t just devastate local economies and cut jobs; it will make college more expensive for far too many Ohioans. Truly spoken like someone who rarely sees the greatness of our campuses because he's flying over them in his private jet. Go Penguins.
