President Trump on Friday signed an executive order establishing the first ever Freedom 250 Grand Prix in Washington, D.C. near the National Mall in Washington, DC in celebration of America’s 250th birthday. 

This comes in addition to planned events this year, including the Great American State Fair, the brand-new Patriot Games, and a UFC fight at the White House.

The race is scheduled for August 23.

In the order, titled “Celebrating American Greatness with American Motor Racing,” Trump writes, “For over 100 years, American INDYCAR racing has set the pace for motor sports.  With speeds topping over 200 miles per hour, the cars and drivers inspire awe and respect in all who watch this quintessentially American sport.  It has given us racing legends such as A.J. Foyt and Mario Andretti, and continues to thrill every Memorial Day weekend when people travel from across the globe to the Indianapolis 500, the largest single-day sporting event in the world.”

“INDYCAR racing is a source of pride and entertainment for our Nation, which is why I am pleased to announce the Freedom 250 Grand Prix in Washington, D.C.  This race, the first motor race ever to be held in our Nation’s capital near the National Mall, will showcase the majesty of our great city as drivers navigate a track around our iconic national monuments in celebration of America’s 250th birthday.”

The Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Transportation are directed to “designate a route through Washington, D.C., that is suitable for conducting an INDYCAR street race and that will showcase the majesty of our capital city in celebration of the 250th anniversary of America’s independence.”

Trump recently teased the announcement on Truth Social with an AI generated ad for the race. In the clip below, Trump is seen flying on Marine One alongside a bald eagle before landing near the track with Americans gathered on the National Mall to watch race car drivers speed through the nation’s capital.

During a press conference in the Oval Office earlier, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy previewed the race, which will be free to attend.

“This is going to be wild,” Duffy told reporters, noting that the last race in the US Capital was a horse race in 1801 when Thomas Jefferson was the President.

“We’re going to do a real race,” Duffy continued.

“This is free for the American people to come to your nation’s capital and see a great road race. Freedom America, speed and road racing. It doesn’t get more American than that.”

Former top Biden aide Andrew Bates performed an embarrassing self-own on social media.

Amidst the increased scrutiny of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in Minnesota, Bates attempted to draw sympathy by referencing the death of 8-year-old Anadith Danay Reyes Alvarez, who died in Border Patrol custody in an X post. The child suffered from sickle cell anemia and a heart condition.

The problem? Alvarez died in 2023 while Bates’ boss Joe Biden was in the White House.

Bates was responding to a post from Senate Judiciary Democrats which stated, “Anadith Danay Reyes Álvarez died in government
custody. She had sickle cell and congenital heart disease but couldn’t access timely and adequate medical care.”

“We need to reform immigration detention.”

Bates shared their post and commented, “Not about Democrat or Republican/left or right.”

“Just absolutely wrong.”

Following his post, Bates was on the receiving end of brutal reminders of who was in charge when the child died and the original post received a community note citing coverage of the story in 2023.

President Trump’s campaign communications director in 2020, Tim Murtaugh, slammed Bates.

“What’s remarkable, Andrew, is the level of pride you must have felt when posting this, completely unaware that it had happened while you worked in the White House yourself,’ Murtaugh wrote.

“Just remarkable. Top notch work from beginning to end.”

Earlier this week, the FBI executed a search warrant at the Fulton County Election Hub and Operations Center.  The Gateway Pundit reported that sources claimed that Georgia State Election Board Complaint 2023-025 as the basis of the warrant.

The Gateway Pundit has now obtained a special report that was delivered to the Department of Justice and the FBI outlining the potential violations of law in the conduct of the 2020 Presidential Election in Fulton County.  This is believed to be the basis for probable cause used to secure the search warrant.

The report outlines, where applicable, the corresponding Georgia Law and/or Rules & Regulations violated by the action of each alleged Count.

Count 1, for example, states:

On September 30, 2020, the Secretary of State directed county officials to install
untested and uncertified software (version 5.5.10.32) written the week before on 34,000
Ballot Marking Devices across the state before it was tested or submitted to the
Election Assistance Commission (“EAC”) as required. To be clear- this was not a
patch, but a complete installation of a new and untested software version.

This potentially violates O.C.G.A. § 21-2-374 according to the report’s authors.

Additionally, the report includes numerous other issues including:

• Failure to perform Logic & Accuracy testing as required by Georgia law
• Ordering over one million “extra” absentee ballots (not alleged to be a violation of law)
• Failure to perform any signature verification in both the 2020 primary and general elections
• Swapping of 35 memory cards during a live election
• Cutting Security Seals, removing memory cards, and “fraudulent returns” then printed on “surrogate machines”
• 20,713 ballots attributed to ten advance voting machines with no provenance
• Failure to preserve election records from the initial November 3, 2020 count
• Unauthorized access and control of Fulton County’s election operations, voting systems, and data
• No reconciliation or canvass performed in violation of Georgia law
• Ballot paper authentication disabled across the entire state of Georgia
• Thousands of ballots added to the post-election hand-count audit
• 3,930 ballots intentionally scanned and counted more than once for the recount
• Missing ballot image records from the recount
• Voting system encryption keys provided to counties unprotected in plain text
• 103.6 percent and 113.8 percent “citizen voting age population registered to vote” in Georgia and in Fulton County, respectively
• Hundreds of test ballots included in the official results
• Failure to “Create, maintain, preserve, or produce a numbered list of voters for all of advance voting”
• Created Daily Recap Sheets after the election, not during the election as required by Georgia law
• Fulton County’s official records include 22,534 more ballots cast than voters credited with casting a ballot
• Thousands of ballots included in the original count are missing from the recount, and thousands of ballots in the recount are missing from the original count

Report of Investigation Fulton 2020 by kmoncla

Mainstream media outlets, pundits, and elected officials have claimed for years that multiple investigations have been conducted and yielded no evidence of fraud or maladministration regarding Georgia’s running of the 2020 election.

There should be little doubt that the results in Georgia’s 2020 election were/are unverifiable given these egregious examples of maladministration and alleged criminal actions.

While President Trump would have still been short in the electoral count had he won Georgia, the U.S. Senate was handed to Joe Biden with the run-off election of Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, giving Joe Biden a “trifecta” in federal government:  the White House, the House of Representatives, and the Senate.

The midterms are 10 months away, but Donald Trump is already meddling in them.

The post READ: The Gateway Pundit Obtained the Report Allegedly Used to Secure the Fulton County Elections Search Warrant appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

The website StopICE.net, a platform designed to track and alert users to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activities, appears to have been compromised in a cyber-attack.

The site, which functions as a nationwide mobile alert system for leftists to report ICE sightings and raids, reportedly had its database entries overwritten with a meme featuring former ICE Acting Director Tom Homan.

StopICE.net allows users to submit license plate numbers of suspected ICE vehicles, send alerts via text or email, and access a live map of reported activities.

The platform claims to have over 538,845 subscribers.

It is run by anarchist Sherman Austin from Long Beach, California.

One of the key organizers behind the anti-ICE movement is a convicted anarchist Sherman Austin, who is also linked to the Alert/Tracker app.

According to multiple social media reports, the hack involved replacing all database entries with an image of Tom Homan, accompanied by text reading: “HELLO STOPICE.NET” and “All your logins, locations, passwords & phone numbers given to FBI/ICE.”

One post described it as “poetic justice,” claiming hundreds of emails and usernames were exposed in a public file, effectively turning the surveillance tool against its users.

At least one Reddit user has reported receiving an unusual text from a number associated with StopICE.net, speculating it was the work of the person who hacked the site and potentially accessed user information.

“Your information has been compromised and sent to the authorities. Sherman Austin is not to be trusted and is a terrible coder,” the texts read.

The website now appears to have been restored to its normal state.

Austin has not yet publicly responded to the hack.
