2026 elections will be highly rigged

The Huntington Beach [California] City Council passed a resolution last week using false data from the election conspiracy group Unite4Freedom to stoke baseless fears about the integrity of elections.

The measure aims to “ensure a legally valid and transparent 2026 General Election” by empowering election officials to withhold the ballots of voters whose U.S. citizenship is in question, enforce strict chain-of-custody protocols and “investigate and resolve, or if necessary, re-administer any election that cannot be proven accurate and compliant,” among other provisions.

It underscores how conspiracy-driven anti-voting groups have made inroads at the state and local level, where they are working to infiltrate election administration in order to take steps that tighten voting rules and legitimize their false claims.

Civil disobedience NOW

Huntington Beach resident Chris Kluwe was arrested during Tuesday night’s Huntington Beach City Council meeting after moving toward the dais following his public comments.

Kluwe, a former pro football punter, has long spoken out about social issues.

He attended Tuesday’s meeting to protest a proposed MAGA acrostic plaque outside of the Central Library for the library’s 50th anniversary, as he did at the Community and Library Services Commission meeting a week before.

This time, his comments ended with, “I will now engage in the time-honored American tradition of peaceful civil disobedience.”

[...]

“I made sure I warned the officers I was going to the ground,” Kluwe said in an interview with the Daily Pilot on Wednesday. “Then I told them, ‘I’m going to stay limp, you guys got to carry me out of here.’”

Kluwe said he was held in the city jail for about four hours before being released late Tuesday night, adding that he was cited after being arrested for disrupting an assembly.

Kluwe commended the Huntington Beach Police Department’s handling of the situation but said he felt something had to be done to amplify his concerns. During his comments before approaching the dais, he was critical of several Make America Great Again policies, calling it “explicitly a Nazi movement.”

[...]

“You’re a public citizen, your voice should be heard. But it’s very disheartening when your elected officials are not listening to your voice ... It is profoundly un-American to do what this council is doing, and I think there are a lot of people in this community that get that. At a very visceral level, what we are seeing is not how America is supposed to work.”

[...]

City Council member Gracey Van Der Mark said it was pretty scary for a few seconds as Kluwe walked onto the platform in front of the dais, before she saw him turn around and put his hands behind his back.

“He wanted his five minutes of fame, and that’s what he got,” she said.

She said that Kluwe’s comments are an insult to Jewish people who support President Trump and called Huntington Beach a “beautiful conservative city.”

“It is OK for us to have our beautiful conservative city,” she said. “We respect everyone. We’re not out there attacking people who don’t think like us, we’re not out there running across and trying to intimidate people who don’t agree with us ... The city of Huntington Beach has always been conservative, and they tried to change that, and we’re just taking it back to the way it was. If I wanted to live in a liberal city with liberal values, I would have stayed in Los Angeles.”

"Pretty scary."  [Insert eyeroll.]  Gracey Van Der Mark is not likely Jewish.  

Their plaque says: Magical Alluring Galvanizing Adverturous.   

JFC and LOL.

Be Chris Kluwe.

What the what?

A dozen people were taken into custody Monday after they arrived on a makeshift boat in Huntington Beach, authorities said.

Huntington Beach firefighters treated 12 patients at the 16100 block of Pacific Coast Highway following what officials described as “a multi-casualty incident.”

The boat first made entry via Anaheim Bay, which is U.S. Navy property, CBSLA’s Michele Gile reported.

The suspects – both male and female – were taken into federal custody after they were examined by paramedics.

Boat? Boat? No wall?

What "multi-casualty incident"? I can't find any more info on this.
