The Left and their media allies are once again in full meltdown mode, this time over President Donald Trump doing something completely legal, completely logical, and fully consistent with the very election safeguards he’s been fighting to implement.

President Trump calmly dismantled the latest fake narrative during a roundtable discussion, where reporters attempted to manufacture outrage over his use of a mail-in ballot in Florida’s recent special election.

During Thursday’s roundtable, the President didn’t hold back when Jim Acosta’s girlfriend, Liz Landers of PBS, tried to grill him on his decision to vote by mail.

Trump dismantled the narrative that there is any comparison between a President using a legal, requested absentee ballot and the Democrats’ push for mass, unverified mail-in chaos.

Trump laid it out crystal clear for anyone with a functioning brain:

“Tell me about mail-in ballots, go ahead. You mean I used a mail-in ballot? You probably said yeah, I did. You know why? Because I’m President of the United States. And because of the fact that I’m President of the United States, I did a mail-in ballot for elections that took place in Florida because I felt I should be here instead of being in the beautiful sunshine taking— But you were in Palm Beach, sir, the last few weekends. That’s right.

And I, yeah, and I decided that I was going to vote by mail-in ballot because I couldn’t be there. Because I had a lot of different things. But, you know, we have exceptions for mail-in ballots. You do know that, right?

So if you’re away, we have an exception. If you’re in the military, we have an exception. If you’re on a business trip, we have an exception. If you’re disabled, we have an exception. And if you’re ill, if you’re not feeling good. So I was away mostly in Washington, D.C., so I used a mail-in ballot. But I appreciate the question because I know, I know it was so well-meaning.”

Truth bomb dropped. The President of the United States has national security duties, White House obligations, and a country to run. He wasn’t lounging on the beach — he was working for YOU, the American people.

And the rapid response team nailed it perfectly:

“Is Jim @Acosta’s girlfriend @ElizLanders unable to read? If she had basic comprehension skills, she’d know the SAVE America Act has commonsense exceptions for military service, illness, disability, and travel. And he’s the President of the United States.”

WATCH:

Corporate media outlets and Democrat politicians rushed to label Trump a “hypocrite,” pushing the same tired talking point that he opposes mail-in voting while using it himself.

But here’s what they conveniently ignore: Trump has NEVER opposed legal, limited, and controlled absentee voting, according to a spokesperson who told ABC News.

He has consistently drawn a clear distinction between:

  • Targeted absentee/mail-in ballots (with safeguards)
  • Mass, universal mail-in voting (with no accountability)

Even the White House reiterated that Trump supports “commonsense exceptions” for mail-in ballots—specifically for:

  • Military personnel
  • Illness or disability
  • Travel or work obligations

Trump, who spends most of his time in Washington, D.C. fulfilling presidential duties, used that exact legal framework.

That’s not hypocrisy. That’s following the law as written.

Absentee ballots for the military in the United States go back much further than most people realize.

The first official, legalized absentee voting for military members began in 1813, when Pennsylvania allowed soldiers in the War of 1812 to vote while away.

The system expanded dramatically during the Civil War (1861–1865):

  • Many states passed laws so Union soldiers could vote from the battlefield.
  • By the 1864 presidential election, most Union states allowed absentee voting for troops.

So here’s the obvious question: If soldiers risking their lives overseas have long been allowed to vote absentee… why wouldn’t the Commander-in-Chief, responsible for leading them, be afforded the same right?

The answer is simple: he is. And he used it legally.

Let’s be honest about what’s really driving this outrage.

Trump’s push for election integrity, particularly the SAVE America Act, has Democrats panicking.

The legislation:

  • Requires proof of citizenship to vote
  • Requires voter ID
  • Limits mass mail-in ballots
  • Preserves absentee voting for legitimate cases

In other words, it restores confidence in elections while protecting access for those who truly need it.

And that’s exactly why the Left is losing it.

RFK Jr. Torches Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren During Hearing on TrumpRx Drug Price Cuts (VIDEO)

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. speaks passionately during a congressional hearing, with coffee cups in front and attendees listening intently in the background.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. speaks passionately during a congressional hearing, with coffee cups in front and attendees listening intently in the background.

HHS Secretary RFK Jr. appeared on Capitol Hill for two hearings on Wednesday.

RFK Jr. first testified before the Senate Finance Committee on his agency’s budget and the deals that the Trump Administration struck with drug companies to lower prices.

Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren tried to go after RFK Jr. over TrumpRx’s price cuts, but he shut her down.

In February, President Trump launched ‘TrumpRx’ to lower drug prices.

“Today, President Donald J. Trump announced the launch of TrumpRx.gov. Through the website, patients will be able to access large discounts on many of the most popular and highest-priced medicines in the country, paying prices in line with the lowest paid by other developed nations (known as the most-favored-nation, or MFN, price),” the White House announced in February.

“Today’s launch features drugs made by the first five manufacturers to reach MFN pricing deals with the Trump Administration: AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly, EMD Serono, Novo Nordisk, and Pfizer,” the White House said.

“Additional drugs from other companies that have signed MFN pricing deals will be made available through TrumpRx.gov in the coming months,” they said.

TrumpRx lowers prices for popular weight loss drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovy, inhalers, fertility drugs, and insulin.

Elizabeth Warren, a corrupt and worthless Democrat who has spent decades enriching herself by lying about being a Native American, tried to come at RFK Jr. about TrumpRx.

“If these pharma deals are so good, show them!” Warren said to RFK Jr.

“You had the power to make this deal yourself! Why didn’t you do that? We did this because you refuse to do it!” RFK Jr. said.

“You have a lot more power to negotiate than we do! We got the lowest prices in history,” he said.

Elizabeth Warren hit back and claimed TrumpRx is making things worse for the American people.

“Millions of people who are using Trump Rx disagree with you!” RFK Jr. said.

Andrew Hugg, Branch Chief of Nuclear and Chemical Surety at the U.S. Department of the Army, discusses collateral damage in a candid conversation.

The O’Keefe Media Group on Tuesday released undercover footage of a top nuclear chief leaking sensitive national security information to a stranger.

Andrew Hugg, a Chief of Chemical Nuclear Surety disclosed sensitive information to a date in a public restaurant.

Hugg told an O’Keefe Media Group undercover journalist that the US still possesses nerve agents and a US Army chemist recently died from exposure.

Andrew Hugg also confirmed that Ukrainians have taken US taxpayer and used it to buy mansions.

At one point, Hugg asked the OMG journalist, “You’re not a spy, right? Your eyes have mesmerized me so much…Almost like you’re an intelligence.”

“The easiest way to get intelligence…send a pretty girl, talk to the guy…I have to resist your eyes,” he said.

Per the O’Keefe Media Group:

Andrew Hugg, a U.S. Chief of Chemical Nuclear Surety, was caught on hidden camera casually revealing sensitive information to a stranger in a public restaurant. Andrew Hugg, Chief of Chemical Nuclear Surety, in charge of nuclear and chemical safety was caught on hidden camera releasing information regarding the U.S. Nuclear Information.

He claims the U.S. still possesses nerve agents and says a U.S. Army chemist recently died from exposure.

He also acknowledges U.S. airstrikes have killed children in Iran, calling it “collateral damage,” and revealed to the journalist how nuclear launch decisions are made in real time.

Hugg described how the United States could assassinate Iran’s next leader if he “doesn’t change,” while admitting the U.S. has no plans to use nuclear weapons: “We’re not going to nuke anybody.”

All of this was casually revealed to an undercover journalist in a restaurant. This raises serious questions about this official’s judgment, security, and what’s really happening behind closed doors.

WATCH:

Update: Hugg was escorted out of the Pentagon on Tuesday and placed on administrative leave amid an investigation.

Leakers Sabotaging Supreme Court AGAIN: Internal Memos Exposing Conservative Push to Block Obama’s Climate Power Grab Leaked to NYT

The Supreme Court of the United States, 2024

In yet another brazen breach of the Supreme Court’s confidentiality, internal memos from a pivotal 2016 battle over former President Barack Obama’s controversial Clean Power Plan have been leaked to The New York Times.

The documents, which were never meant to see the light of day for decades, detail a five-day flurry of confidential exchanges among the justices that ultimately led to a 5-4 emergency order blocking Obama’s signature climate regulation.

Chief Justice John Roberts and other conservatives argued the plan would cause “substantial and irreversible” harm to the power sector if allowed to take effect before full review.

Leaks at the high court have become disturbingly frequent, and they almost always seem to be targeting the conservative justices.

The leaked papers show the court grappling with whether to issue an unprecedented stay on the Clean Power Plan, Obama’s aggressive EPA rule aimed at slashing carbon emissions from power plants by 32% by 2030.

Conservative justices emphasized the immediate economic damage the regulation would inflict on utilities and states.

In one memo, Roberts warned, “Absent a stay, the Clean Power Plan will cause (and is causing) substantial and irreversible reordering of the domestic power sector before this court has an opportunity to review its legality.”

Liberal justices pushed back, but the court ultimately sided 5-4 to block the plan, a decision many legal experts now view as the birthplace of the modern “shadow docket,” the fast-track process the Court has increasingly used for emergency rulings on major issues.

WATCH:

This is far from the first time the Supreme Court has been hit by damaging leaks.

The leak of the 2022 Dobbs draft opinion, which overturned Roe v. Wade, remains unsolved despite an internal investigation.

It is time to identify the leakers, fire them immediately, and impose real consequences for their acts of sabotage.

Fox News reports:

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, an appointee of former President Joe Biden, has been among the most vocal dissenters in emergency cases during President Donald Trump’s second term as the president frequently benefits from the fast-paced docket. Jackson is sometimes joined by her two liberal colleagues, Kagan and Justice Sonia Sotomayor, in her dissents, and emergency cases have often split 6-3 in favor of Trump.

Last week, Jackson aired her grievances in a different forum, blasting emergency docket decisions during a Yale Law School speech as rushed, “scratch-paper musings” that undermine the high court’s purpose.

“Given the real world facts that a stay request asks the court to consider, the court’s stay decisions can, at times, come across utterly irrational,” Jackson said. “We cannot expect the public to have faith in our judicial system if, without clear explanation, we consistently greenlight harmful acts.”

The Supreme Court has not yet issued an official statement on the latest leak.

Chief Justice Roberts previously called a prior breach “absolutely appalling” and an “egregious breach of trust,” but no leaker has ever been publicly identified or punished.

The Gateway Pundit will continue monitoring for any official response from the Court or new developments in the investigation.
