Election systems expert Heather Honey has been sworn in at the Department of Homeland Security ( DHS ) as a deputy assistant secretary, leading elections integrity for the Trump Administration, and the left is losing its mind . Honey, a long-time open-source investigator, has spent years analyzing every aspect of how elections are administered, looking for vulnerabilities that leave election systems open to exploitation. Her investigations have led to lawsuits aimed at changing or clarifying election laws in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Maine, and Tennessee, where she helped rewrite election legislation.

https://www.dailyfly.com/2025/08/21/education-department-ends-federal-work-study-funding-for-campus-political-activism-including-voter-registration-jobs/ WASHINGTON, D.C. –  The U.S. Department of Education announced this week it is ending taxpayer-funded programs that supported political activism jobs on college campuses. The Department of Education will no longer fund the Federal Work-Study, a Biden administration program that paid students to engage in political activities. The department issued a  guidance letter  clarifying that institutions should focus FWS funding on jobs that will give students real opportunities. “Federal Work-Study is meant to provide students opportunities to gain real-world experience that prepares them to succeed in the workforce, not as a way to fund political activism on our college and university campuses,”  said   Under Secretary of Education Nicholas Kent. The FWS program provides part-time jobs to students involving voter registration, voter assistance at polling locations, voter hotline services or other political activism roles. The jobs could take place either on or off campus. Following the letter from the Education Department, 16 Republican attorneys general outlined in a letter in April 2024 how the Biden administration violated federal law by allowing FWS to support partisan activism on college campuses. “Unfortunately, spending tax money to get more Democrat voters to the polls this fall looks to be this administration’s policy,” the letter  stated. In addition, the department’s new guidance makes clear that the Higher Education Act of 1965 does not require institutions to distribute registration forms to students known to be ineligible to vote, to avoid voter fraud. “Under the HEA, institutions are required to make a ‘good faith’ effort to distribute voter registration forms to students,” the press release said. Additionally, the Education Department has requested institutions to tell students that only citizens of the U.S. may vote in federal elections, voting twice and providing false information is prohibited under federal law, and an individual can only be registered to vote where they are permanently living. The Department of Education’s actions of rescinding federal funds from political activism on college campuses follow President Donald Trump’s executive order,  “ Protecting the Integrity of American Elections. ”

The RNC and NCGOP are once again putting their finger on the scale for one of their RINOs by brazenly violating their own plan of organization doctrine of 'do not endorse in the primary.' Have you had enough of this hypocrisy? They falsely convince county GOP precinct chairs/executive board members not to get involved in the primary, effectively getting YOU to voluntarily suspend your First Amendment rights. How convenient for this private good ol' boys club that has given us the likes of Thom Tillis, Lindsay Graham, Lisa Murkowski, and Susan Collins! Isn't it bad enough that Whatley has been on the wrong side of every issue you care about! Will you get out there in the primary as a proud US Patriotic Engaged Citizen and finally support an America First Candidate and put your COUNTRY before a flawed political party? Case in Point - The fine print at the bottom of the fundraising invitation below tells the tale.

He BLEW IT. ###

He’s also targeting the easily-manipulated voting machines that leave no paper trail to back them up. “I am going to lead a movement to get rid of MAIL-IN BALLOTS, and also, while we’re at it, Highly ‘Inaccurate,’ Very Expensive, and Seriously Controversial VOTING MACHINES,” wrote the president. He added that these machines “cost Ten Times more than accurate and sophisticated Watermark Paper, which is faster, and leaves NO DOUBT, at the end of the evening, as to who WON, and who LOST, the Election.” “We are now the only Country in the World that uses Mail-In Voting. All others gave it up because of the MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD ENCOUNTERED,” he continued. “WE WILL BEGIN THIS EFFORT, WHICH WILL BE STRONGLY OPPOSED BY THE DEMOCRATS BECAUSE THEY CHEAT AT LEVELS NEVER SEEN BEFORE, by signing an EXECUTIVE ORDER to help bring HONESTY to the 2026 Midterm Elections.”

Letter to NC Legislature:  Sign the Petition to Support the SAVE Act.  Only US Citizens Vote in US Elections Please copy/paste/paraphrase the letter below to email to your Raleigh Representatives and Senators regarding their support and commitment to the SAVE Act that has been passed by the US House twice but not the US Senate. Passing the SAVE Act will compel all 50 states to demand proof of citizenship on their voter registration. They need to show that they are with WE THE PEOPLE. Thank you. NC House Emails https://www.ashevilleteaparty.org/post/nc-house-emails-2022 NC Senate Emails: https://www.ashevilleteaparty.org/post/nc-senate-emails-2022 Don't know who your reps are, click here https://www.ncleg.gov/FindYourLegislators Don't know who your senators are, click here: https://www.ncleg.gov/FindYourLegislators Dear _______: As your constituent, I urge you to take immediate action to secure our elections and protect the integrity of every American's vote by urging the US Senate to pass the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act and any other legislation necessary to ensure that only U.S. citizens are allowed to register and vote in U.S. elections.     The SAVE Act, which has already passed the US House, mandates proof of citizenship at the time of voter registration—closing loopholes that currently allow noncitizens to register and possibly vote in our elections. This legislation is supported by the overwhelming majority of Americans across the political spectrum.According to recent polling, more than 80% of Americans—including the vast majority of Republicans, Democrats, and independents—agree that proof of citizenship should be required to register to vote. Protecting the right of American citizens to determine the future of our country is not a partisan issue; it is a fundamental duty of Congress. Because the NVRA is silent on any requirement to submit proof of citizenship when registering to vote, states have been unable to require such proof. Whether intentionally or not, noncitizens are being added to our voter rolls. These include both lawful resident aliens and illegal immigrants. Therefore, I respectfully request that you: Commit your support for SAVE Act championed by President Trump by signing the petition that will be delivered to the US Senate on September 10 th .  The US House has passed the SAVE Act twice.  It’s now up to the Senate. Passing the SAVE Act will compel all fifty states – including NC - to demand proof of citizenship to vote. Will you support this election reform that guarantees only citizens vote in US elections?  Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our constitutional republic. I expect you to act decisively to protect them.

August 4, 2025 Gun Rights Supporters:   Last week was a busy one for the GRNC Legislative Action Team. In my 31 years of Second Amendment leadership, I had previously managed only one override vote on a gubernatorial veto, specifically, our successful pistol purchase permit repeal in the last session.   Last week, we had three such votes – almost simultaneously. In theory, Republicans wanted to override all of Gov. Josh Stein’s various vetoes on Tuesday morning. They didn’t get them all but, in fairness, they put a pretty big dent in Stein’s plans.   Gun-related override votes   First, the NC Senate did exactly as Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger promised by promptly overriding Stein’s veto of permitless (“constitutional”) carry bill SB 50 (“Freedom to Carry NC”) in a 30-19 straight party-line vote, sending it over to the NC House for a corresponding vote.   Next, the NC House voted to override Stein’s veto of HB 193, which allows concealed carry in private schools by employees with administrative permission, and strengthens our current range protection statute. That one was a squeaker, getting the requisite 72 votes only when Democrat Shelly Willingham joined the chamber’s 71 Republicans. HB 193 then went to the Senate for a corresponding vote.   Given that the Senate was certain to override on HB 193, we stuck to the NC House to watch the expected fireworks on SB 50. (To give you the flavor of events, the gallery was full and leftists outside pressed signs against the glass saying things like “Trans Black Lives Matter!” One looney leftist was removed from the gallery while screaming “Trump is a racist!”)   But we got a surprise when reports came in that the Senate had failed to override on HB 193, and that NC Senate Rules Chair Bill Rabon had voted against the override. When we did the math on the 29-19 vote, we were even more perplexed, since that exceeds the 6/10 needed for override.   Things became clear when we learned that because Sen. David Craven didn’t vote, Republicans weren’t certain of winning. So, in order to be procedurally able to move for reconsideration of a failed vote, they had Rabon vote against. When it became clear the Senate could pass the override with Rabon’s vote, he changed his vote to “yes” and HB 193 became law despite Stein’s veto . It becomes effective Dec. 1, 2025.   GRNC thanks  Sen. Berger and Senate Republicans for keeping their promise (although we wish they had done it in the last session, when the House had a supermajority).  GRNC also thanks to HB 193 sponsor Jeff McNeely and SB 50 sponsor  Dan Britt.   Status of permitless carry   What we did not get, however, was a House vote on SB 50 despite the fact that it was calendared for the next day. In fact, none of the veto reconsiderations scheduled for Wednesday took place, reportedly because NC House Republicans lacked the votes to successfully override.   The good news is that your calls and emails have secured a “yes” vote from Rep. Bill Brisson , who had previously voted “no” on the bill. The bad news is that three and possibly four Republicans remain opposed to SB 50: Reps. Ted Davis (New Hanover), Jimmy Dixon (Duplin, Wayne), Howard Penny (Harnett, Johnston), and Stephen Ross (Alamance). (Note: Penny seems to be a somewhat squishy “yes” vote.)   Actions going forward   The next opportunity to override the SB 50 veto will be on August 26. Prior to that date, GRNC will be applying pressure to the four recalcitrant Republicans. We will also be appealing to Democrats who voted with Republicans to override on HB 193 and other vetoes.   That means putting automated phone and text alerts into the four districts. I would also like to be able to do radio spots in those districts, something we presently can’t afford .   We need your help . You may already have donated to GRNC or our PAC, the GRNC Political Victory Fund, for which you have my profound thanks. But I’m afraid I need to ask again. Please help us pass SB 50 by going to: grnc.org/wp/2012/06/donate-to-or-join-grnc/   With your help, Grass Roots North Carolina will continue our unprecedented 31 years of legislative success.   Armatissimi e liberissimi, F. Paul Valone President, Grass Roots North Carolina Executive Director, Rights Watch International Host, Guns, Politics and Freedom Author, Rules for ANTI-Radicals: A Practical Handbook for Defeating Leftism   P.S. Again, I thank you for any contributions you may previously have made. But $250, $125, $50, or even $25 would help us put pressure on the “RINO” Republicans who oppose your freedom to carry without governmental permission.
