Georgia’s 2026 election results will be aggregated on Election Night by Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger from a “secret bunker” which is off limits to candidates, the public and even to State Election Board (SEB) members who have requested access.

The secret aggregation of election results is a clear violation of state election transparency law which requires all election officials to conduct all election activities in public. The law specifically states:

“Superintendents, poll officers, and other officials engaged in the conducting of primaries and elections held under this chapter shall perform their duties in public.” O.C.G.A. § 21-2-406

The bunker is operated by the Georgia Emergency Management Agency to mitigate emergency conditions and threats. It is believed to be below an Emergency Operations Center building at an undisclosed location in the metro Atlanta area.

Why Secretary Raffensperger would want to secretly aggregate results in an emergency bunker continues to be inexplicable. All 159 Georgia counties aggregate results from their precincts on Election Night but none do it in secret since such secrecy is prohibited by law.

Federal law also requires that all Congressional candidates be able to observe such election activities. Several federal and state candidates have already expressed concerns, Some are expected to seek an emergency temporary restraining order and writ of mandamus today in an attempt to force Raffensperger to comply with the law. 52 USC § 21083a.

The SEB discussed the secret emergency bunker at their May 1, 2026 remote meeting and requested that, at a minimum, a member of each of the two major political parties be present for the aggregation but Raffensperger’s office has so far denied repeated requests.

After being rebuffed by Raffensperger’s office, SEB members Grubbs and Johnston cited numerous statutes that require election transparency at the May 24 follow up remote meeting.

VoterGA co-founder Garland Favorito added: “This is yet another example where Brad Raffensperger refuses to comply with Georgia law. It began in 2019, the first year he took office, when he purchased a $100 million dollar voting system that a U.S. District Court found in violation of two Georgia statutes. It is both obvious and mandatory that statewide Election Night aggregation must be moved out of the bunker, so it is not conducted in secret.”

The federal student aid system was apparently a feeding trough for fraudsters and according to President Trump’s Education Secretary Linda McMahon, some of the “students” cashing in weren’t even alive.

In a jaw-dropping interview on Fox News, McMahon revealed that the Department of Education uncovered widespread abuse in the federal student aid application system, including bot-driven applications, so-called “ghost students,” and even dead individuals allegedly receiving federal student aid.

Secretary McMahon laid it all out: the Trump administration has completely revamped the FAFSA program with ironclad real-time identity verification and they’re already saving taxpayers billions.

According to the Department of Education website:

The U.S. Department of Education (the Department) launched a new, real-time fraud detection capability for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form, marking the largest and most comprehensive, nationwide fraud prevention effort in the agency’s history.

Effective immediately, fraud detection is built directly into the FAFSA itself, with every applicant evaluated in real-time using risk-based identity screening. Applicants who display a certain level of fraud risk will now be required to present government-issued identification before accessing federal student aid funds such as Pell Grants and federal student loans.

The Department also recently began conducting a one-time review of all previously submitted 2026-27 FAFSA forms using the new screening technology, ensuring that all federal student aid program dollars are supporting students and families, not fraudsters. The Department estimates that its efforts to identify and deny federal student aid to fraudulent students will save taxpayers over $1 billion during this year’s FAFSA cycle.

Here’s what she said (via the Fox News clip):

“I’m really proud of one of the things that we’ve done, and that is we’ve just really totally revamped the FAFSA program, which is the applications that students fill out, you know, for student aid as they’re going to college.

But as like many things in the government, we found that there was a lot of fraud going on, that there were bots that were applying for these loans. There were ghost students.

There were dead people who were getting these loans, etc. And so we really did enforce and tweak this entire system so that we have this real-time fraud identity now. It’s as simple as showing an ID, you know, online to show who you are when you’re applying for these loans.

And last year, we kept $1 billion of fraud money from going out. And just in the first, you know, 2 weeks of revamping this program this year, we’ve saved, you know, about $60 million. So it’s very effective. And I’m very pleased that we are going to be able to save taxpayers, you know, billions of dollars with this identity program.”

Fox News host Jesse Watters lit the internet on fire after airing a jaw-dropping segment discussing alleged UFO crash recoveries, “non-human intelligence,” and even so-called “reptilian” alien species that some researchers claim have been secretly studied by the U.S. government for decades.

The bombshell discussion comes after the Trump administration’s recent release of declassified UFO/UAP files through a new Pentagon transparency initiative that has already generated massive public attention.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported Dr. Hal Puthoff, 89, a Stanford-trained quantum physicist who previously led remote-viewing programs for the CIA and advised the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP), made the explosive assertion during an appearance on Steve Bartlett’s “The Diary of a CEO” podcast this week.

“People who have been involved in recoveries have said there are at least four types. Four separate types,” Puthoff said. “Now I have not had direct access to that, but I believe the people whom I talked to — four separate types of life.”

According to Davis, all four are humanoid in appearance with two arms, two legs, and a basic human-like body plan.

He describes them as follows:

• Grays: Small, hairless beings with massive black eyes.
• Nordics: Tall, human-looking entities resembling people from Northern Europe.
• Reptilians: Scaly, lizard-like creatures that walk upright, often with tails.
• Insectoids/Mantids: Bug-like humanoids that resemble praying mantises.

During his primetime show, Watters declared bluntly: “We are not alone.”

Watters posted the clip on X, which has now garnered over 1 million views, writing:

Trump is working to curtail outside influence in our hemisphere.

Back in November 2025, the Donald J. Trump administration released the new National Security Strategy, and we could understand a little better how the protection of the Western Hemisphere has become central to US efforts.

We read there: “The United States has achieved success in rolling back outside influence in the Western Hemisphere by demonstrating, with specificity, how many hidden costs—in espionage, cybersecurity, debt-traps, and other ways—are embedded in allegedly ‘low cost’ foreign assistance. We should accelerate these efforts, including by utilizing U.S. leverage in finance and technology to induce countries to reject such assistance.”

Washington is conducting closed-door negotiations with Denmark on expanding its military presence in Greenland.

So, when it comes to the Arctic Island of Greenland, this whole security architecture applies there, too.

We have reported how Greenland Leader Admits US Military Presence on Island Is Part of Negotiations ‌With Washington.

But the security is not limited to establishing a number of air bases and other military assets there.

There’s also the question of curbing the outside influence from major powers.

So, it’s not at all surprising that reports arise today that Trump is demanding a ‘veto’ power over any future Chinese or Russian investments in Greenland.

— The Telegraph (@Telegraph) May 18, 2026

The Telegraph reported:

“Diplomatic sources have revealed that preventing Beijing from accessing the substantial mineral reserves buried deep beneath the ice has become a key objective for the Trump administration in talks over the island.

Officials from the United States, Greenland and Denmark have been locked in secret negotiations over a deal that satisfies the US president’s desire to control the territory.

The talks were designed to provide Mr. Trump with an off-ramp to his threats of a military takeover of the Arctic island, an autonomous part of the Kingdom of Denmark.”

The mineral wealth of Greenland is a ‘strategic reserve’ in case of a war with China.

“Beijing has a stranglehold over the materials crucial for the hi-tech production of everything from electric cars to missiles, radar systems and fighter jets.

Chinese mines account for around 70 per cent of the global supply of rare earths, but more crucially, the Asian superpower controls 90 per cent of the world’s processing capacity.”

Podcaster Candace Owens on Monday revealed that she recently sat down with disgraced former President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden. 

In the wide-ranging interview, Hunter and Candace discussed Hunter’s crack addiction, his “laptop from Hell,” Joe Biden’s presidency, the war in Iran, and the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Owens posted a teaser of the interview on X, writing, “This Thursday. Hunter Biden and me.”

Biden is seen in the clip, slamming the “DC elite of the left” and claiming that his father was “never part of that club” and “never part of the Epstein class.”

He further attacked President Trump, saying he’s being “pressured by the Israelis” and wants to “turn Gaza into a Trump golf course with the maître d’ being Jared Kushner.”

In another segment of the interview, he questions the Charlie Kirk assassination and endorses Owens’s questioning of the official narrative behind Kirk’s murder.

WATCH:

Hunter Biden has made several media appearances since his father left the White House.

In an interview last December, Biden delivered a blistering critique of illegal immigration during a marathon, unfiltered sit-down with former Navy SEAL Shawn Ryan on the popular “Shawn Ryan Show,” The Gateway Pundit reported. However, Biden also embraced left-wing talking points, accusing Trump of acting “like a Fascist” when asked about the division from the left and attempted political assassinations.

Last Summer, Biden also went on an unhinged, profane tirade against the Trump Administration’s deportation border policies. “I say, f*ck you! How are we getting those people back from f*cking El Salvador?” Hunter said in the interview with Channel 5’s Andrew Callaghan.

“People are really upset about illegal immigration? F*ck you. How do you think your hotel room gets cleaned? How do you think you have food on your f*cking table? Who do you think washes your dishes?”

During the interview, Hunter, who revealed he was drinking a “handle of vodka a day,” also exposed his father for taking drugs before the first and last Trump-Biden debate. He further tore into top Democrat figures, including George Clooney, James Carville, David Ploofe, David Axelrod, Anita Dunn, and Jake Tapper for helping execute the coup against Biden.
