THE ILLEGAL ALIEN RAID IN COLORADO REVEALS A CANCER IN OUR MILITARY
By Andrea Widburg, April 27, 2025

Almost six years ago, before I started working at American Thinker, I wrote a post on my personal blog about Obama’s purge of many military leaders who believed in traditional American values. I entitled it, “Under Obama, there came to be a cancer in the Pentagon.”

That post, especially the title, popped into my head when I read about the fact that over a dozen U.S. service members were rounded up when the DEA raided an illegal club in Colorado Springs, where they found dozens of illegal aliens, many of whom were also gang members, weapons, drugs, and prostitutes. This is the metastasized result of Obama’s efforts, which Biden carried on for him.

The original story was simply that there’d been a raid on this club, netting over a hundred illegal aliens, along with drugs and weapons:

#DEA Rocky Mountain led a multi-agency enforcement operation along with our local and federal partners early this morning.@DHSgov has taken more than 100 illegal aliens into custody. Drugs and weapons have also been seized at this underground nightclub in Colorado Springs. pic.twitter.com/R4Smb3voAg

It then emerged that the club was a hangout for members of MS-13, now properly labeled as a terrorist organization, and Tren de Aragua, which has been properly identified as a terrorist organization sent by a foreign power to destabilize America. Confucius would have been proud of this rectification of names, so that words correspond with reality:

This morning @DEAHQ apprehended over 100 illegal aliens at an underground night club frequented by Tda and MS-13 terrorists. Cocaine, meth, and pink cocaine was seized. 2 people were also arrested on existing warrants.

Given these terrorists’ fondness for the club, it’s highly likely that they were well-represented among those illegal aliens rounded up, and that they were responsible for the guns, drugs, and prostitution. This is great work on the part of the Trump administration. For the terrorists, the glory days are coming to an end. But as I said, while that was good news, something deeply distressing emerged from the raid, and that was the presence of so many active-duty U.S. service people, over a dozen, who were there as patrons, armed security, or criminal actors:

It’s absolutely true that any large institution will have rot, and the U.S. military is very large. There hasn’t been a modern war that hasn’t been plagued with criminality. Where there are young men, there will be murders and assaults, and where there are valuables, such as weapons systems, there will be theft.

However, I don’t believe that there has ever been a situation in which so many military people were working hand-in-glove with criminal illegal aliens engaged in terrorist activities aimed at destabilizing the U.S. Instead, it’s entirely possible that these terrorists have infiltrated the military itself.

And as I said, this kind of behavior represents a fish that has rotted at the head. Obama took a high-functioning, patriotic, disciplined military and turned it into a left-wing, anti-American, anti-male, anti-white, anti-biological-norms institution. You can’t expect the troops at the bottom to be pure when the top is so grotesque.

OWOSSO BARBER STILL BATTLING $9K IN FINES FROM WHITMER LOCKDOWN
77-year-old was one of six hairdressers state fined for cutting hair in 2020

Michigan residents and small business owners targeted by the Whitmer administration got a long-delayed chance to speak on April 23 as the Republican-controlled state House held its first hearings on government overreach during the COVID lockdowns.

Two business owners and a lawyer described how they were targeted by Attorney General Dana Nessel, the Whitmer administration, and local government at the House's Weaponization of State Government hearing.

Gov. Whitmer declared barbers and hairdressers “nonessential” in 2020. Six barbers and hairdressers defied the lockdown orders and were criminally charged for cutting hair at the Michigan Capitol on May 20, 2020.

Five years later, Karl Manke, an Owosso barber, is awaiting a ruling in the Shiawassee County Circuit Court to drop the fines, he said in the subcommittee hearing. During the lockdown period, state government entities temporarily suspended his barbershop and occupational license when he reopened his shop, according to Kallman Legal.

The 77-year-old racked up $9,000 in fines, but Manke kept working to pay bills. He believed Whitmer’s executive orders violated his rights, and the Michigan Supreme Court ultimately agreed in October 2020.

Manke's fines included $1,500 for having hair and neck strips on his barbershop floor and having a comb in his pocket during a televised media interview. He was also fined $6,000 for cutting hair without a license on the steps of the Michigan Capitol during Operation Haircut, a protest of Whitmer’s orders in May 2020. Though his license was later reinstated, the state refused to drop the fines.

When the Michigan Supreme Court ruled in September 2020 that Whitmer’s orders were unconstitutional, the charges against Manke were dropped.

Manke told the subcommittee he was never notified about the loss of his license.

Rep. Angela Rigas, R-Alto, chair of the Weaponization of State Government subcommittee and a hairstylist for 25 years, said the $1,500 fine for having a comb in a pocket was unusual.

Subcommittee member Laurie Pohutsky, D-Livonia, compared Manke to Michiganders who are still in prison for marijuana violations that occurred before cannabis became legal in Michigan.

Whitmer tapped emergency orders through the state health department after reaching the limit of her executive-order powers.

Holland restaurant owner Marlena Pavlos-Hackney testified about Attorney General Dana Nessel's determined effort to arrest her before she could appear on Tucker Carlson's Fox News show to speak about reopening her business against pandemic orders.

Emails obtained by Michigan Capitol Confidential in 2021 revealed that Nessel explicitly stated her desire to have Hackney arrested before she could go on Carlson's show. Hackney's testimony and present situation will be covered more fully in an upcoming CapCon story.

A NEWLY DISCOVERED ALGORITHM IN WISCONSIN VOTER FILE IS UNDISPUTABLE
EVIDENCE OF CRIMINAL ELECTION FRAUD
By Jerome R. Corsi, April 28, 2025

Andrew Paquette, Ph.D., has discovered a never-before-seen algorithm in the Wisconsin Election Commission’s (WEC) voter registration database, leaving no doubt someone has penetrated the WEC’s computer system to impose a criminal reordering on the voter files. This finding alone should draw the attention of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and FBI Director Kash Patel. Yet, to date, we see no action whatsoever from the DOJ or the FBI investigating criminal election fraud.

Paquette first observed that the WEC voter roll had an unusually high number of voter records that ended in zero. Assuming that the WEC voter roll assigned voter ID numbers sequentially, without breaks or outside manipulation, records ending in 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 should appear with equal distribution. As seen in Table 1, voter records ending in zero occurred in 30.6 percent of the voter records, while those ending in numbers 1 through 9 ended with each number appearing equally at 7.7 percent of the time.
Paquette was at a loss to explain this irregularity until he realized that every voter ID record ending in zero had two different Wisconsin voters assigned the same voter ID number. In searching the database, Paquette confirmed that in every case where the same voter ID number was assigned to two different voters, the voter record ended in zero.

We have labeled the two voter IDs tied to WEC voter records ending in zero as “doubles,” a term devised to distinguish this phenomenon from the “modified duplicates” that Paquette previously found in the WEC voter database. “Modified duplicates” involve making multiple voter records for the same voter, which can be done, for instance, by assigning a different birthdate or address to each duplicated record. Because duplicated voters each have different dates of birth or other addresses, the “modified duplicates” appear to be different people.

The point of the “modified duplicate” scheme is to create false voters, all of whom nevertheless get legitimate state voter ID numbers. The non-existent “multiple duplicate” voters can then be hidden back in the voter roll, identifiable to the criminals by “algorithm locator numbers,” so they are available for use in fraudulent mail-in ballot schemes.

Why the “doubles” scheme assigns the same voter ID number to two different voters is more difficult to figure out. What is also not clear is whether one or both of the “doubles” are real voters or if both of the “doubles” voters could be fictitious.

A scheme this complicated must operate through a computer algorithm that creates “doubles” for every voter ID record ending in zero in a WEC database of over 7 million voters. That is, whatever rule is applied to pick the two voters who constitute the “doubles” in a database with over 7 million voters needs an algorithm if the scheme is to be applied, monitored, and updated on an ongoing basis.

Put another way, this cannot be random. Because there’s numerical consistency when it comes to all zero-ending records involving doubles and all duplicate voters having only zero-ending voter IDs, that implies a set of programming instructions (i.e., an algorithm) telling the system to create these records in formulaic fashion.

The probability that a scheme this complicated, consistent, and massive could happen by chance is near zero. The only logical conclusion is that someone penetrated the WEC server to embed the rule that would consistently alter the entire WEC voter registration database.

The WEC “doubles” scheme violates the Help America Vote Act (HAVA, 2002), which requires that each voter have a unique voter ID number and that no coded information not readily perceptible to election workers may be embedded secretly in the state voter roll database. Given the HAVA mandate that each registered voter must have a unique voter ID number, there is no administrative necessity justifying the fact that, as it now stands, every record in the WEC voter database with a voter numbering ending in zero is associated with two distinct voters.

We have previously argued that President Trump has chosen to elevate the election fraud investigation into a national security matter by bypassing a DOJ criminal investigation with Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard at the helm. The Department of Homeland Security has exercised authority in Arizona to review Arizona’s state voter roll to verify the citizenship of voters under the authority of President Trump’s Executive Order.

On April 23, 2025, Tulsi Gabbard referred two members of the intelligence community for criminal prosecution by the DOJ for leaking classified information to the Washington Post and the New York Times. This was information about the U.S. military strike on Houthi rebels. The leak was intended to harm Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. Gabbard indicated that her action would “serve as a warning” to those “deep-state criminals” who “for partisan political purposes” sought “to undermine President Trump’s agenda.”

In that spirit, and in the absence of aggressive DOJ/FBI efforts to investigate deep-state criminals, Gabbard may have found a methodology that has a chance of spurring Bondi and Patel to action.

We now have abundant evidence that the WEC maintains a criminally infected voter registration database that was used in the 2024 general election and in the recent 2025 election for a seat on the Wisconsin State Supreme Court. Bondi needs to appoint a DOJ election integrity Task Force that will give Patel’s FBI sufficient subpoena power to seize WEC computers, voter registration files, and relevant internal documents, including emails. What’s holding Bondi and Patel back?
