James TalaFREAKO is a Radical Left Lunatic and Vegan who is the ANTITHESIS of Texas Values. Ken Paxton is the Greatest Attorney General in the History of Texas, and has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next U.S. Senator from Texas — HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Video transcript 5:26

Well, Texas, I just want to thank you for voting me not only in, but giving me the biggest vote in the history of Texas for any politician, whether it's presidency or Senate or anything else. And I did it three times. So for three times, I have the biggest vote in the history of Texas. That means you like me and I like you. Maybe love is a better word. I love you. And you might love me. And that's why we can't allow James Telefrico to get into office and represent you because it's an embarrassment to one of the great states, maybe our greatest state. It's an embarrassment to have a guy like that representing you in Washington, D.C. It's an embarrassment to have the world watch. He's a man who said things that are so bad, we can't let him get in. He insulted God. He insulted men, women. He said things that he believes. And the one thing I learned in politics, I learned it a long time ago. It's very interesting. I haven't been doing this too long, actually, certainly not to be president, but I've gotten a lot of experience. One thing I've learned and strongly is that whatever your first statement, that's always the one you go back to. So he said all these horrible things and that's where he's going to be after an election. If he wins, that's where he's going to be. That's where his heart is. I don't blame anybody for that, but that's where the heart is. One thing, not that important, but he's a vegan. He was always a vegan. He never had meat in his life. Now he's trying to stuff meat down his throat and it's not working. He gets sick every time he eats meat. But instead of just saying, hey, I'm a vegan, I like eating vegetables. I like eating a piece of lettuce instead of a steak. He doesn't say that. And then he disappeared for 12 days with perhaps the longest flu ever recorded. He's lying about that. He was in some very bad situation and you're going to find out what it is someday. Might be a long time, might be immediately. Be great if it was before the election because it would probably make it impossible for him to win. And you have another man named Ken Paxson. So I know Ken very well. And some people like Ken, some people don't, but everybody, just about everybody said he's the greatest attorney general in the history of Texas. And he's certainly one of the very, very best attorney generals in our country. He had more courage than anybody else when it came to so many things like the border, like COVID. I mean, he fought with us right alongside of me on so many different items, the vote, the rigged elections, and we won every single time. So Ken Paxson, you have to give him tremendous credit. This should be a 90% credit. The rest of the stuff is just frill. Ken Paxson was a great and is a great attorney general and he deserves to be your next senator. He will represent you so well. You won't have to worry about what's going to come out of his thought process, what's going to come out of his mouth. He's for the second amendment. Telefrico is going to try and end your second amendment, take away your guns. Telefrico is totally in favor of the transgender mutilization of your children. And Telefrico is a man that wants to have open borders. And I got elected by the fact that we now have the safest border in the history of our country. In 17 months, we had nobody come in through our southern border illegally, not one person. And that was made by people that had a left lean, meaning Democrat people made up that list. And I'm sure they don't like doing it, but zero people in 17 months. We have the safest border in the history of our country. He's going to want to have open borders where people pour into our country from prisons, from mental institutions, drug dealers, murderers, 11,888 murders, by the way. And he wants them to come in. We cannot allow James Telefrico to be a senator from Texas. He doesn't understand you. He doesn't understand Texas values. I understand Texas values a lot because those are my values. And that's why I got the highest vote ever three times. So, Texas, I love you. This is a big election. In my opinion, the most important mid-term election ever. You have a great person. He'll do a great job. You have the best attorney general in the country named Ken Paxson. You got to elect him. And you cannot elect a man that is seriously in trouble. There's something wrong with him. James Telefrico. Thank you very much, Texas. I love you.

Zach Nunn has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election as U.S. Representative from Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District — HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Video transcript 3:22

Hello, Iowa. I'm asking you to get out and vote to reelect Congressman Zach Nunn to the U.S. House of Representatives. I know him well. He's a warrior. I've worked with him and especially for our great Iowa farmers. He works harder than anybody else there is. Zach is a driving force fighting for E15 all year round and he was a pivotal vote for the great big beautiful bill that as you know should be called the great big beautiful tax cut bill saving millions and millions of family farms and unfair estate taxes that were being charged. We ended it. You now have no tax upon your death. You could leave it to your children, that beautiful farm. Bad things happened in the old system and by the way the Democrats want to terminate the estate tax gift that we're giving you. They want you to pay estate tax. Explain that to me because I don't get it. He gave you the largest tax cuts in American history did Zach, including no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security for our great seniors. Zach Dunn is also an incredible patriot who has served our country in uniform and in combat in the U.S. Air Force. The Air Force reserves for more than 20 years and respected by everybody. Zach is running against an insane far left Democrat named Sarah Trone Garriott, a true extremist, a radical left disaster. She officiated a wedding for two Satanists and she said she will only deliver non-Christian prayers and call Christian schools racist. She's not a believer in God. She doesn't know what she believes in and that's not for Iowa. She voted against the largest tax cuts in Iowa's history. She voted for welfare for illegal aliens and in favor of letting Iowa schools secretly transition your children without even telling you. In other words, she voted in favor of the mutilation of your children. That's not good. That's not what Iowa represents or stands for. She's a dangerous lunatic who is too extreme for Iowa. And as you know, I won Iowa all three times getting a record vote, the highest vote in the history of Iowa. So I understand Iowa and Iowa understands me and I love Iowa actually. I think Iowa probably loves me too. You should because I've done a good job for you. It's said that there's no president ever that's even come close that I've been the best president for Iowa by far. And that's been my honor. So get out and vote to reelect a real warrior is acted on a good person to vote earlier, vote on election day, November 3rd. He will never, ever let you down. Thank you very much.

Mohammed El-Sayed is a terrible Candidate for the Dumocrats. Mike Rogers is a Great American Patriot, and has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next U.S. Senator from Michigan — HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Video transcript 1:23

So the great state of Michigan, which I won decisively in the last election, is looking seriously, I guess, at a man named Mohammed Abdul Al Sayyad, who is absolutely Muslim Brotherhood. The last thing we need is Muslim Brotherhood in the United States Senate. It doesn't represent the values of Michigan, and it doesn't represent the values of the United States of America. You have a man named Mike Rogers. He's 100 percent. He has my complete and total endorsement. He'll be a great senator. You cannot even think about putting Mohammed Al Sayyad in that position. He's a disaster, and he hates our country. Thank you, Michigan. I love you, and thank you for voting me through. You gave me such a great early lift because the polls right from the beginning were great for me, and I appreciate it. And then we went on to a big win. So thank you very much. Do not allow Mohammed Al Sayyad to take a position in the United States Senate. It would be the beginning of the end for our country. Thank you.

Darline Graham has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election as U.S. Senator from South Carolina — SHE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Video transcript 4:03

A very special hello to South Carolina, a place I love. I won three times, three out of three, and got the highest vote in the history of your state by just high numbers, record numbers. It's been incredible. The relationship I've had to your state has been unbelievable, and the relationship I have to you, and I appreciate it, very important. I'm asking everyone in South Carolina to get out and vote for a wonderful person, a great woman, I believe, a woman that Lindsey Graham said is the greatest person he's ever met, respected her more than any other person he's ever met, which always bothered me, 'cause I said, "Well, what about me?" I thought I was there. No, I think it was the sister, Darlene. He loved his sister, he respected his sister, and he was a great guy. So I'm here to ask you to get out and vote for Darlene Graham for the United States Senate. She's really got what it takes. She's an amazing person. I've gotten to know her very well. Darlene has devoted her entire life to the people of South Carolina, and after her brother, the late, great Lindsey Graham, and he was indeed, he was a great politician, actually, passed away unexpectedly. I asked Darlene to run. She's already a respected member of the Senate who is delivering for your state every single day. She just won a primary race against a very talented, very good politician, and she won quite easily, and she's a winner. She's gonna be a winner, and she's gonna be somebody that South Carolina's very proud of. Darlene is fighting to give you the lowest taxes, the biggest paychecks, the strongest, most secure borders ever, and she will always defend your right to keep and bear arms. In other words, she will always defend your Second Amendment. Darlene is running against a radical left maniac who's totally misunderstood. They don't know how bad she is, named Annie Andrews, who wants schools to turn your children transgender as soon as possible. She's in favor of the transgender mutilization of your children. She's in favor of men and women's sports and illegal aliens pouring into South Carolina. She wants high taxes, and she's willing to allow high crime. She doesn't care. She even told her supporters to defund the police and to abolish the police if possible. And you know, one thing I've learned about politicians, it's the first words out of their mouth, and then they change for an election. But when they say it, the first things they say, that's what they go back to all the time, always. South Carolina needs to defeat Annie Andrews and elect the incredible Darlene Graham to the United States Senate. Early voting begins on October 19th and ends on Saturday, October 31st. Vote early or vote on Election Day, November 3rd, but you have to get out and vote for Darlene. She's gonna be an incredible, really an unbelievable Senator. And like her brothers, it's good genetics. Her brother was a great politician who really helped me a lot. He could deal with anybody and he often had to. And she's something that's gonna be very special. You're lucky to have her. So South Carolina, go out and vote for Darlene Graham. You'll be very proud of your vote years from now. When you look back, gonna be very proud of that vote. And thank you very much for what you've done for me. Three wins by the highest totals ever in the history of your state. You can't do better than that and I love you too. Thank you very much.

Russell Fry has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election as U.S. Representative from South Carolina’s 7th Congressional District — HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Video transcript 2:32

Hello, South Carolina, I'm asking you to get out and vote to re-elect your great congressman and my really good friend, in fact, I picked him because his predecessor was not doing a good job. And I said, "Who's the best?" And I figured it out, it was Russell Frye, highly respected, a really great person. Russell is an American first patriot and a champion of election integrity who is doing an incredible job representing the great people of South Carolina's 7th congressional district, which I won overwhelmingly, thank you. Russell was a pivotal vote for the largest tax cuts in American history, including no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security for our great seniors. And Russell is perhaps the number one advocate for federal funding for I-73, we're gonna get that built 100%. And my administration is behind you all the way, we're gonna get that road built, you've been trying to build it for 30 years, we're gonna get it done and Russell's leading it. So vote for Russell Frye, he is my complete and total endorsement. He's a great congressman and he's going on to very, very big things. President Russell, as you know, is running against a radical far left Democrat named John Vincent, who will vote to raise your taxes by $5 trillion. Send your utility bills skyrocketing with crippling energy restrictions, throw open your borders and give 25 million illegal aliens amnesty and the right to vote. That's why they let them in because they want them to vote and they also want to give them amnesty. General Democrat John Vincent also refused to say he would protect your Second Amendment. He won't protect it, he will destroy your Second Amendment, which means he will vote to take your guns away very simply. Early voting begins on Monday, October 19th and then Saturday, October 31st. Vote early or vote on Election Day, November 3rd to reelect a great congressman, a really great person to Russell Frye. He will never, ever let you down. Thank you very much.

Screenshot of an X (Twitter) post by a verified account named "A Gene Robinson" (@AlBuffalo2nite), with a small profile photo of a man in dark clothing. The long text post argues that people who dislike Donald Trump cannot erase what he has done for Black Americans, then lists items: the 2018 First Step Act, the 2019 FUTURE Act funding for HBCUs, the 2020 HBCU PARTNERS Act, low Black unemployment and Black poverty at 16.3% in 2019, Opportunity Zones, an April 2025 White House HBCU initiative, and $1.3 billion in Department of Education HBCU support in fiscal year 2025. It ends with a gray teaser line that the hypocrisy becomes disquieting, so the post is cut off there. Two red stop-sign emoji frame the all-caps sentence.

Text in image: A Gene Robinson @AlBuffalo2nite You can dislike Donald Trump. You can despise his personality, reject his politics, and criticize every word that comes out of his mouth. That is your prerogative. 🛑BUT YOU CANNOT ERASE WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR BLACK AMERICANS SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU HATE THE MAN!🛑 Let's examine the historical record instead of recycling partisan talking points. In 2018, Donald Trump signed the bipartisan First Step Act, reforming federal sentencing laws, reducing certain mandatory penalties, and expanding opportunities for incarcerated individuals to earn earlier release. These reforms addressed sentencing disparities that disproportionately affected Black Americans. In 2019, Trump signed the FUTURE Act, securing $255 million in permanent annual federal funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and other minority-serving institutions. In 2020, he signed the HBCU PARTNERS Act, strengthening federal support and coordination for historically Black colleges. During his first administration, Black unemployment reached historically low levels before the pandemic. Black poverty fell to 16.3% in 2019, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. These improvements were part of longer economic trends, but they occurred during his presidency. Trump also signed legislation establishing Opportunity Zones, encouraging private investment in economically distressed communities. The extent to which those investments benefited existing residents remains a legitimate subject of debate. In April 2025, Trump established a new White House initiative supporting HBCU research, innovation, infrastructure, and workforce development. His administration also reported more than $1.3 billion in Department of Education support for HBCUs during fiscal year 2025. NOW HERE IS WHERE THE HYPOCRISY BECOMES PARTICULARLY DISQUIETING!

Screenshot of a long text-only social media post on a white background, black sans-serif text, no images, username or avatar visible. The post addresses an unnamed "you" who criticizes Donald Trump. It lists policies it credits to him (criminal justice reform, permanent funding for Black colleges, low Black unemployment, support for historically Black institutions). It objects to people who acknowledge these being called "MAGGOTS", and argues that the critic's contempt and "selective indignation" call their own racial prejudices into question. The last line is rendered in lighter gray text, possibly where the screenshot is cut off.

Text in image: When Donald Trump signs criminal justice reform that benefits Black Americans, you call him a racist. When he signs legislation securing permanent funding for Black colleges, you call him a racist. When Black unemployment reaches historic lows during his administration, you refuse to acknowledge the numbers. When he supports historically Black educational institutions, you dismiss the accomplishments because you despise the man responsible. And then you turn around and call the people who acknowledge these documented accomplishments “MAGGOTS”? LET ME MAKE SOMETHING PERFECTLY CLEAR! If recognizing criminal justice reform, educational investment, and measurable improvements in Black economic conditions makes somebody a “MAGGOT” in your eyes, then perhaps the problem is not the person examining the evidence. Perhaps the problem is your own selective indignation. And if your contempt for Donald Trump is so consuming that you cannot acknowledge a single policy benefiting Black Americans, then your claim to care about Black advancement deserves serious scrutiny. Because if these accomplishments are what you call “MAGGOT,” while dismissing the Black Americans who benefited from them, THEN YOUR OWN RACIAL PREJUDICES DESERVE EXAMINATION! Your political animosity does not invalidate federal legislation. Your insults do not overturn Census Bureau statistics. Your hatred does not erase appropriations to historically Black institutions. And your partisan allegiance does not give you exclusive authority to decide what constitutes progress for Black Americans.

The image is a photo-style picture labeled "Made with AI" showing two men posing close together in front of a US flag and a dark flag. On the left is a bald Black man with a graying goatee, round light-blue glasses, a gold chain and a gray knit polo shirt, pointing at the man beside him with a skeptical expression. On the right is an older white man with blond-orange swept hair, smiling broadly, wearing a navy suit, white shirt, red tie and a small US flag lapel pin, giving a thumbs up. The post's timestamp is 12:25 PM, Oct 16, 2026, with 38.4K views. The text asserts that Black Americans are not property of the Democratic Party and asks critics to bring documentation rather than insults. No names are visible in the screenshot.

Text in image: I am interested in outcomes, not political worship. I will examine Trump’s failures just as readily as his accomplishments, and I expect that same intellectual honesty from anyone criticizing him. BLACK AMERICANS ARE NOT PROPERTY OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY! We are capable of evaluating policies, examining evidence, and making independent judgments without asking political operatives for permission. If you want to challenge the record, bring documentation. If all you have are insults, you have brought nothing to the discussion. #AStoneGroove #SilentMajoritySpeaks Made with AI 12:25 PM · Oct 16, 2026 · 38.4K Views

A two-page U.S. Department of Justice letter stacked vertically (screenshot/scan), dated October 16, 2026, from the Acting Deputy Attorney General to an Assistant County Counsel at the Los Angeles County Counsel's Office. It responds to the county's October 15 letter. It asserts that the county's registrar must not count ballots from more than 20,000 people the DOJ says are likely noncitizens, that doing so risks aiding and abetting a federal crime under 18 U.S.C. § 611 and § 2, and that the NVRA 90-day quiet period doesn't apply. It urges the county and California Secretary of State to reconsider. It has the DOJ seal at top left, a handwritten signature at the bottom, and a slightly garbled spot where "NVRA's" appears as "NV 's" on page two.

Text in image: U.S. Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Ave, NW Washington, DC 20530 (202) 514-2000 October 16, 2026 Peter M. Bollinger Assistant County Counsel Los Angeles County Counsel's Office Re: Response to October 15, 2026 Letter Mr. Bollinger: The Department of Justice has reviewed your October 15 letter responding to the federal investigative materials provided to the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk ("County ROV"). I write to address several legally untenable assertions and to make unmistakably clear the legal implications for violating 18 U.S.C. § 611. Your letter asserts that the County ROV is "legally prohibited" from taking even minimal steps—such as temporarily segregating ballots—after receiving credible federal evidence identifying tens of thousands of individuals suspected to be noncitizens. That position is incorrect as a matter of federal law and places officials in both the California Secretary of State ("SOS") and County ROV offices at risk of knowingly facilitating violations of federal criminal statutes. On October 13, the Department hand delivered a password-protected dataset identifying more than 20,000 individuals who federal agencies reasonably believe are likely noncitizens registered to vote in California. This list was developed through a multilayered, multiagency investigative methodology that relied upon internal immigration records, data matching, supervisory verification procedures, and more. The legal consequences for either facilitating or ignoring a federal crime are significant. Noncitizen voting in a federal election is a federal crime—and knowingly facilitating such conduct is equally unlawful. Under 18 U.S.C. § 611(a), noncitizens are prohibited from voting in any election involving federal offices. Under 18 U.S.C. § 2, anyone who aids, abets, counsels, induces, or procures the commission of a federal offense is equally liable. If persons knowingly tabulate ballots cast by individuals identified by federal agencies as noncitizens, they risk becoming aiders and abettors to a federal crime. Your assertion that ballots must be counted simply because California's registration system relies on self-attestation does not relieve election officials of their obligations under federal law when they are on actual notice of noncitizen voting. Nor can state procedures supersede federal criminal statutes. Your argument that the County is "not authorized" to pause or segregate ballots because California relies on attestation-based registration is immaterial. Section 611 does not excuse unlawful voting simply because a State employs a permissive registration method. The Department has not asked the County to adjudicate immigration status; it has asked the County to temporarily set aside ballots from individuals whose eligibility is credibly in question—a standard election-administration practice implemented nationwide. Likewise, your reliance on the National Voter Registration Act's ("NVRA's") "quiet period" is misplaced. The NV 's 90-day limitation applies only to systematic list-maintenance programs—not to targeted, individualized evidence of unlawful voting identified by federal law enforcement. The Department has not requested a purge, cancellation of registrations, or any programmatic action. We requested only temporary ballot segregation pending citizenship verification. Invoking the NVRA to justify counting ballots unlawfully cast is both legally incorrect and operationally irresponsible. Additionally, the administrative burdens, timing constraints, or the fact that the investigative list includes individuals residing outside Los Angeles County do not permit the County to knowingly tabulate ballots that federal law prohibits. Once the United States provides credible evidence that certain ballots may be unlawful to count, election officials may not disregard that information because it is inconvenient to process. Administrative difficulty is not a defense to violating federal law or aiding or abetting a federal offense. The Department strongly urges the County and the SOS to reconsider their positions before taking actions that risk significant federal scrutiny and legal exposure. Sincerely, /s/ Trent McCotter Acting Deputy Attorney General United States Department of Justice
