Using Google has started to feel worse over the last few years, as results are seemingly taken over by SEO'd content, AI-generated results, and websites with tons of affiliate links and ads. As a response to this state of affairs, a single coder has launched a new, open-source search engine in part as a response to internet’s overwhelmingly corporatized and homogenous search ecosystem. The new search engine, called Stract, is running on a server in the basement of its developer’s office, is highly customizable and, based on feedback from users in the project’s Discord, is rapidly improving.
The project grew out of founder Mikkel Denker’s master’s thesis at the Technical University of Denmark, which was focused on helping people search their own files and documents, he told me in an online chat. He is set to finish that master's next week and will then pivot his attention to Stract fulltime.
“Most of our searches go through the same handful of entities (Google, Bing, Yandex),” Denker told me. “Even other search engines such as DuckDuckGo use Bing for their results. I found it very weird that there essentially is no way to browse the web in an open manner. So that's what I am trying to build.”

On a Friday night in July 2018, Des Moines police officers Ryan Steinkamp and Brian Minnehan saw Domeco Fugenschuh, a 22-year-old black man, driving west on Hickman Road. Steinkamp and Minnehan, both white, were assigned to a "special enforcement team" focused on illegal guns, drugs, and gang activity. They had no reason to believe Fugenschuh was involved with any of that, but they decided to follow him anyway because he "sat up slightly" and "turned his head to stare at the officers" as he passed them.
After the cops followed Fugenschuh for several blocks, he expressed his irritation at the unjustified attention by giving them the finger. Steinkamp and Minnehan did not like that, so they continued following Fugenschuh and pulled him over for an invented traffic violation. During the stop, the officers handcuffed Fugenschuh, roughed him up, searched his car, and arrested him for the alleged traffic infraction. They also charged him with marijuana possession after the car search turned up a bit of pot and a portable phone charger that they mistakenly thought was a digital scale.
When Fugenschuh sued Steinkamp and Minnehan for a litany of constitutional violations, they argued that they were shielded by qualified immunity, which bars federal civil rights claims against government officials unless their alleged misconduct violated "clearly established" law. Last Saturday, U.S. Chief Magistrate Judge Helen C. Adams rejected that defense, ruling that a jury should hear Fugenschuh's allegations because it might reasonably conclude that Steinkamp and Minnehan ignored constraints that should be familiar to every police officer in the country.
The decision was a small victory for civil liberties, and the abuses that Fugenschuh suffered pale beside the sort of outrageouspoliceconduct that tends to attract national attention. But this run-of-the-mill case nicely illustrates the wide discretion that the Supreme Court has given police officers to harass motorists for no good reason—leeway that cops nevertheless manage to exceed on a regular basis.
The facts of the traffic stop are mostly undisputed, conceded by the officers and/or verified by dash and body camera footage. Steinkamp and Minnehan pulled Fugenschuh over after he stopped at a red light, signaled a right turn, and turned onto 30th Street. When Steinkamp approached Fugenschuh's car, he initially refused to explain the justification for the stop. Instead he ordered Fugenschuh out of the car and handcuffed him.
After Fugenschuh "asked numerous times why he was stopped," Steinkamp claimed Fugenschuh had "cut off" a car that was moving north on 30th Street, as evidenced by the fact that the driver had applied his brakes. Fugenschuh disputed that account, which apparently irked Steinkamp, who "proceeded to bend Fugenschuh over the hood of the patrol car," "pull his handcuffed arms up above his body," and push his face into the hood of the car.
While frisking Fugenschuh, Steinkamp asked if he had insurance, at which point Fugenschuh began cursing at the cops. "You're going to jail now," Steinkamp responded.
Steinkamp "pulled Fugenschuh off the hood of the patrol car and walked him to the door of the patrol car as Fugenschuh continued to curse at the officers," Adams notes. "Minnehan opened the patrol car door and told Fugenschuh to 'have a seat.' Less than one second after Minnehan told Fugenschuh to have a seat, Steinkamp shoved Fugenschuh into the back of the patrol car, telling him to 'get in the car.' Fugenschuh fell, hitting his head on the patrol car and landing on his handcuffed wrists. Steinkamp's body-worn camera footage shows Fugenschuh complaining of pain and the officers ordering Fugenschuh to 'get up' and 'sit in the car' repeatedly to which Fugenschuh responded, 'give me a second' and 'I can't.' Fugenschuh continued to make noises of discomfort while sitting in the patrol car with his legs out of the vehicle. The officers continued to ask Fugenschuh to 'get in the car' until Fugenschuh pulled his feet into the patrol car."
Inside the patrol car, Steinkamp told Fugenschuh, "We don't care about this petty crap. We don't deal with that crap, but when you act the way you acted from the get-go, when we were sitting there and you looked at us, like, real hard and start[ed] flipping us off…" Steinkamp evidently did not finish the thought, perhaps because he realized that flipping cops off, arguing with them, and speaking harshly to them are not crimes. Perhaps he also realized (although this might be giving him too much credit) that admitting he acted out of personal pique would support a claim that he retaliated against Fugenschuh for constitutionally protected speech.
At this point, Minnehan searched Fugenschuh's car. According to Fugenschuh's original complaint, which he filed in state court before the case was transferred to federal court in July 2020, the cops "falsely alleged that they smelled marijuana to justify the search."
Although the officers' misidentification of Fugenschuh's phone charger as a digital scale suggests they initially thought they had nabbed a pot dealer, he was charged only with possession. According to Fugenschuh's complaint, Minnehan "specifically noted that he doesn't usually take people to jail for marijuana possession." Prosecutors dropped that charge in October 2018.
As for the purported traffic offense, the cops initially charged Fugenschuh with violating Section 321.311 of the Iowa Code, which says "the approach for a right turn and right turn shall be made as close as practical to the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway." During Fugenschuh's trial, the prosecutor, after realizing that provision did not fit the conduct that Steinkamp and Minnehan supposedly observed, "amended the initial charge." The prosecutor changed the charge to a violation of Section 321.322(1), which says a driver making a turn "shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle on the intersecting roadway which has entered the intersection or which is approaching so closely as to constitute an immediate hazard during the time the driver is moving across or within the intersection."
Fugenschuh, who was representing himself, wanted to present video of the stop, which he said would show he was not guilty of that charge. But he "was informed that because the prosecution had not presented the video as evidence, the video was unavailable." After Fugenschuh was convicted, he got access to the video, which he used to challenge his conviction.
During the post-conviction trial, Minnehan "testified he was unaware what the initial charge under Iowa Code § 321.311 criminalized." Steinkamp conceded that "Fugenschuh had not violated" that provision. And after viewing the video, a judge concluded that Fugenschuh was not guilty of the substitute charge either.
"The video demonstrates there was no actual danger or near collision or immediate hazard," the judge said. "Fugenschuh was out of the intersection before the Second Car entered it and the cars were never very close to each other, demonstrating the Second Car was not 'approaching so closely as to constitute an immediate hazard during the time [Fugenschuh] was moving across or within the intersection.'"
To sum up, the evidence suggests that Steinkamp and Minnehan followed Fugenschuh for no good reason, decided to pull him over because they got the finger, and manufactured an excuse to do that based on a claim that was contradicted by the video footage. They immediately ordered him out of the car and handcuffed him, which is not standard procedure for a routine traffic violation (even a real one), and had already decided to arrest him because of his attitude before they found the pot that led to the possession charge. And that search was based on an unverifiable claim about what the officers' noses supposedly detected.
According to Fugenschuh, Minnehan admitted that he would not typically take someone into custody for low-level marijuana possession, let alone a minor traffic violation. Steinkamp's recorded comments and his rough treatment of Fugenschuh, who was handcuffed and not offering any physical resistance or posing any plausible threat, reinforce the impression that the officer lost his temper because he perceived Fugenschuh as disrespecting his authority.
This evidence, Adams concluded, made several of Fugenschuh's claims plausible. He will be allowed to argue that Steinkamp and Minnehan violated his Fourth Amendment rights when they "unreasonably seized him by detaining him for a non-existent turning violation"; that Steinkamp used excessive force, another Fourth Amendment violation, when he "shoved Fugenschuh onto the hood of the car and pushed Fugenschuh after Minnehan had commanded Fugenschuh to get into the patrol car"; and that the same actions qualified as assault and battery under Iowa law. Adams also allowed Fugenschuh to pursue a First Amendment claim: that Steinkamp and Minnehan punished him for constitutionally protected speech.
Fugenschuh is by no means guaranteed victory on any of these claims. Adams found that they hinge on "disputed questions of material fact" and noted evidence that the officers might cite to rebut them. But based on the existing record, it certainly looks like Steinkamp and Minnehan crossed several legal lines.
Although the Supreme Court drew those lines, its decisions also have encouraged the sort of behavior described in Fugenschuh's lawsuit. His complaint alleges that Des Moines police officers "pretextually stop motorists on a regular basis." According to the Supreme Court's 1996 ruling in Whren v. United States, there is nothing unconstitutional about that: Police may stop a driver whenever they "have probable cause to believe that a traffic violation has occurred," even when the true motive is finding evidence of an unrelated crime.
Because state traffic codes include myriad rules governing the maintenance and operation of motor vehicles, many of which are picayune, arbitrary, obscure, or ambiguous, that rule allows cops to stop pretty much any car they want. And they have a strong motive to use that power. Pretextual traffic stops not only allow cops to seize contraband and make arrests; they present an opportunity to commit roadside robbery by seizing money under civil forfeiture laws. Since that money is used to pad police budgets, cops have a financial incentive to stop first and ask questions later.
Police officers, of course, are not supposed to invent traffic violations out of whole cloth. But when a cop claims someone committed a traffic violation, his word will generally prevail unless there is independent evidence that contradicts it. That is what happened in this case, until Fugenschuh managed to obtain the video that persuaded a judge he had not done what Steinkamp and Minnehan claimed.
Even when a driver actually commits a minor traffic violation (which, again, is hard to avoid, given how many rules there are to break), why would a cop order him out of his car and handcuff him? In this case, it's pretty clear why: Steinkamp and Minnehan were mad because Fugenschuh "started flipping us off," even though courts have held that such gestures are constitutionally protected. But Steinkamp and Minnehan did not need any particular reason. In the 1977 case Pennsylvania v. Mimms, the Supreme Court said cops may order legally detained motorists out of their cars at will, based on general concerns about officer safety. Two decades later, the Court extended that rule from drivers to passengers in Maryland v. Wilson. Once Steinkamp and Minnehan had taken Fugenschuh into custody, frisking him also was legally authorized based on the same general concerns.
Why was Fugenschuh arrested? Again, we know why, based on Steinkamp's own words. But Steinkamp had the power to punish Fugenschuh for his disrespect because the Supreme Court has approved custodial arrests for minor traffic offenses, even when they are not punishable by jail.
What about the car search? Since 1925, the Supreme Court has recognized a "vehicle exception" to the Fourth Amendment's general search warrant requirement. The rationale in that case, Carroll v. United States, was that police who suspect a vehicle contains contraband cannot reasonably be expected to obtain a warrant, given that the vehicle could easily be moved during the time that would take. Although the availability of electronic warrants undermines that rationale, we are stuck with a rule that was inspired by the challenges of enforcing alcohol prohibition in the 1920s.
Officially, police still need probable cause to search a vehicle. But probable cause is easily manufactured in this context. As this case illustrates, the purported odor of marijuana, whether real, imagined, or invented, suffices—at least in jurisdictions where that drug remains illegal. A purported "alert" by a drug-sniffing dog, whether real, imagined, or invented, likewise will do the trick. So in practice, police not only have the power to stop any car they want; they also have the power to search it.
None of this means that what Steinkamp and Minnehan did in this particular situation was legal. To the contrary, Adams found credible evidence that it was not. But the existing rules invite fudging, which in many cases won't be officially recognized because the arrestee does not file a lawsuit or successfully challenge a conviction. When the Supreme Court gives cops a mile, they are bound to take an extra inch.
sad to say, but i get all my news from rss. No twitter, no facebook, no insta, nada.
Social networks and RSS. We really should be on the case for all social media networks to support RSS feeds outbound at least (inbound nice too). And also add features to make interop really useful. I've enumerated them here. I am making software that builds on this feature in social networks. And yes we do have some examples of that, thinking of WordPress and competitors. I think they are perfectly good bases for social networks.

Companies that mandate a return to office (RTO) for their workers fare no better than companies that do not — and, in fact, forcing people to give up remote work hurts employee well-being and retention, new studies found.
A Gartner survey of 2,080 knowledge worker employees released today measured the impact of mandated requirements on employee outcomes among various employee categories. The result: On average, when companies force workers back to the office, their intent to stay with the organization declined by 8%.
Among high-performing employees, their desire to stay dropped by 16%. And among millennials and women, plans to stay in their current role declined by 10% and 11%, respectively.

The massive ballot registration fraud by GBI Strategies – a Democrat-funded operation – in Michigan and every battleground state.
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, in August 2023, CONFIRMED that 8,000 to 10,000 suspected fraudulent ballot registrations were delivered to the Muskegon, Michigan, City Clerk prior to the 2020 election.
The Gateway Pundit and our contacts in Michigan released the original report earlier in the week. This report and investigation was buried for three years.
Our reporting was based on a redacted police report describing how Muskegon City Clerk Meisch encountered a woman dropping off 8,000 – 10,000 completed voter registration applications. Meisch found this unusual since the voting population in Muskegon at the time was around 30,000 individuals so she immediately reported this to authorities. The Gateway Pundit reported that the “registrations included the same handwriting, non-existent addresses, and incorrect phone numbers.”
An investigation found that the woman who turned in the fraudulent ballot registrations worked for GBI Strategies, a Democrat-funded group with operations across the state.
GBI Strategies was funded by dark money super PAC ‘BlackPAC,’ who paid them $11,254,919 to register voters for Joe Biden.
The Gateway Pundit reported that during the investigation, the police found guns, burner phones, pre-paid cash cards, and incomplete registrations at a defunct eyeglass store where GBI Strategies had set up operations in the state. GBI was operating in several locations around the state.
Here is the EXPLOSIVE report by The Gateway Pundit published last fall.
We now know that the investigation was sent to the FBI, where it died a slow death. When The Gateway Pundit released our report in August 2023, Attorney General Nessel announced days later, after her original silence, that she would send it to the FBI – again.
It should be noted that NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON was arrested for this massive multi-state ballot registration fraud involving THOUSANDS of fake registrations!
Chris Wray has ignored this massive scandal to this day!
Here’s the #DetroitLeaks video that was captured by an undercover conservative reporter during a training session prior to the 2020 election.
The series of leaks also revealed that even challenged ballots would be processed as regular ballots. Incoming State Representative Steve Carra and Michigan activist Bob Cushman filed a successful lawsuit against Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson over the explosive allegations that poll workers were being trained in how to commit voter fraud.
This report was banned from YouTube, Twitter, and other social media platforms. It was too explosive. Democrats were caught redhanded training poll workers how to cheat in the 2020 election for Joe Biden.
Multiple independent witnesses have approached the Gateway Pundit and confirmed that the predictions from #DetroitLeaks were accurate and that the counting of ballots for Wayne County/Detroit at the TCF Center (aka Cobo Hall) was by poll workers who refused challenges from GOP poll challengers, used COVID as an excuse to deny access to review the process, tabulated challenged illegal ballots, and fulfilled this voter fraud prophecy.
Bill Barr and Chris Wray did nothing to investigate these planned and coordinated voter fraud training sessions. The Gateway Pundit believes similar actions may have been used in other states.
3. In a coordinated act, battleground states quit counting ballots on election night
On Election night in November 2020, President Trump was soundly defeating Joe Biden. Trump was crushing Joe Biden in the battleground states.
Then, something took place that Americans had never experienced in over 200 years of its existence. News broke that the battleground states were going to quit counting votes for the night. This had NEVER taken place in US history.
On election night, President Trump went out to speak to supporters. He had won the election. But then suddenly, the battleground states announced they had stopped counting. President Trump told his supporters, “This is a fraud. This is an embarrassment to our country.”
Overnight, Democrats dumped hundreds of thousands of mysterious votes for Joe Biden into the battleground states. There was collusion. Four days later, even Pennsylvania, where they locked the doors on the counting rooms and prevented Republican observers from entering, had gone to Joe Biden. Trump was ahead in the state by nearly 800,000 votes on Election night!
This was classic election fraud. The entire country knew it then and knows it now. The pretenders in the fake news immediately started pushing the notion that Joe Biden, who never held an honest rally the entire election season, had captured 81 million votes. It was the greatest crime in US history.
So what happened? And who made the call to the swing states to quit counting?
We will never know because Chris Wray from the FBI and AG Bill Barr never investigated this criminal act.
Today, we are starting to understand Attorney General Bill Barr‘s role in this historic criminal act.
4. The FBI and DOJ hid the Biden family crimes from the American public despite holding onto Hunter Biden’s “Laptop from Hell” since 2019.
Hunter and Joe Biden golfing wit
The FBI knew Hunter Biden’s laptop from hell was authentic in 2019 but lied to social media companies so the story would be censored during the 2020 election to help Joe Biden.
The House Ways and Means Committee reported in 2023:
In October 2019, the FBI became aware that a repair shop had a laptop allegedly belonging to Hunter Biden and that the laptop might contain evidence of a crime. The FBI verified its authenticity in November of 2019 by matching the device number against Hunter Biden’s Apple iCloud ID.
According to testimony from Laura Dehmlow, the Section Chief of the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF), the FBI deliberately lied to social media companies about the authenticity of Hunter’s laptop to protect Joe Biden.
In the nine months leading up to the 2020 election, the FBI met over 30 times with social media platforms — all while in possession of Hunter Biden’s laptop.
In one of the meetings, somebody from Twitter essentially asked whether the laptop was real.
“One of the FBI folks who was on the call did confirm that, “yes, it was,” before another participant jumped in and said, “no further comment,” Dehmlow said.
There it is.
BIG BREAKING NEWS
Testimony reveals the FBI knew the Hunter Biden laptop was authentic, but when asked by a social media company about the laptop’s authenticity the FBI said “no further comment.”
Fifty-one top intel officials also lied about the laptop from hell.
Chris Wray and Bill Barr hid this from the American public, knowing it could sway the election and put a quick end to President Trump’s bogus first impeachment. No one has faced any disciplinary action for this major fraud perpetrated on the American public.
5. The FBI and DOJ refused to investigate the Ballot Box stuffing operations by Democrats
In June 2022, former AG Bill Barr laughed hysterically when he was asked about the evidence of voter fraud presented by “2000 Mules” during his pre-recorded testimony at the Jan 6 show trial.
“Uh, the election was not stolen by fraud. And I haven’t seen anything since the election that changes my mind on that, including the ‘2000 Mules’ movie,” Barr said as he laughed hysterically.
Barr cited the lack of photographic evidence. And then mocked the geo-tracking cell phone data.
Clearly, Bill Barr has no idea how geo-tracking works or about the precision of the data obtained by the True the Vote investigators.
The Gateway Pundit and 100 Percent Fed Up, with the help of the investigative team at Mc4EI, released several videos showing individuals jamming multiple ballots into drop Detroit, Michigan boxes as well as two close-up videos of individuals who appear to be signing the envelopes of other people’s ballots during the 2020 election. This footage was obtained by The Gateway Pundit.
Here is one of the videos we released of ballot box stuffing in Detroit.
In the video below, a man dressed in street clothes exits the front passenger seat of a postal worker’s truck and stuffs a stack of ballots into the absentee ballot drop box in Detroit. In a second video taken on the same day, the same man exits the passenger side of the USPS truck and delivers an even larger stack of ballots into the slot of the drop box. In this video, you can clearly see he is recording the drop on his cell phone in his left hand.
This one’s for you, Bill Barr…
Watch:
On October 29, a US Postal worker can be seen making four trips to the Liberty Center satellite voting center in Detroit. The final trip was made in a private vehicle. Although the people making the deliveries are not the same, the number on the front of the US Post Office vehicle is the same!
On April 20, Jim Hoft of the Gateway Pundit and Patty McMurray of 100 Percent Fed Up interviewed Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips to ask about the incredible work they did to uncover a massive coordinated criminal ring that was spread across several critical swing states Trump won in 2016, but curiously, lost in 2020.
Thanks to the hard work and commitment of the Michigan Citizens For Election Integrity (MC4EI) and their team, who poured over hours of dropbox footage, the Gateway Pundit and 100 Percent Fed Up were able to provide footage from the drop boxes in Detroit to True the Vote to be used in the “2000 Mules” movie.
Bill Barr scoffed at this likely criminal act. Chris Wray ignored it.
6. The United States Postal Service (USPS) was transporting trailers full of completed ballots from New York to swing state Pennsylvania
Election fraud whistleblowers came forward in December 2020 following the controversial election, including one who witnessed the shipping of an estimated 144,000-288,000 completed ballots across three state lines on October 21, 2020.
The information was made public at a press conference by the Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society, a national constitutional litigation organization.
The Amistad Project said at the time that they had sworn declarations that over 300,000 ballots were issued in Arizona, 548,000 in Michigan, 204,000 in Georgia, and over 121,000 in Pennsylvania.
They said that their evidence reveals multi-state illegal efforts by USPS workers to influence the election in at least three of six swing states.
The whistleblower statements included potentially hundreds of thousands of completed absentee ballots being transported across three state lines and a trailer filled with ballots disappearing in Pennsylvania.
Attorney Phil Kline said, “130,000 to 280,000 completed ballots for the 2020 general election were shipped from Bethpage, NY, to Lancaster, PA, where those ballots and the trailer in which they were shipped disappeared.”
Truck driver Jesse Morgan was present at the press conference and spoke for 9 minutes about his unbelievable ordeal. Morgan was tasked with delivering completed ballots to Pennsylvania from New York State.
The Gateway Pundit later discovered that rather than investigate this massive alleged crime, US Attorney General Bill Barr called up investigator Tony Shaffer and KILLED the investigation! He never lifted a finger to investigate this enormous act of election fraud!
In June 2022, The Gateway Pundit reported that the United States Postal Service investigated the allegations by the truck drivers – but they would NOT release their report.
The American Thinker reported in 2023 that the USPS finally released their report on the accusations of truck drivers hauling completed ballots across state lines into Pennsylvania before election day!
The Post Office Inspector General (OIG) acknowledged that a contractor in Rochester, New York, printed 650,000 general election ballots that went to Pennsylvania. Of the total, 450,000 went to Philadelphia County, and 200,000 went to Chester County.
Jesse Morgan was exonerated. No wonder they hid this for over a year!
The USPS was running ballots!
Rather than investigate this massive criminal act, Bill Barrscreamed at investigator Tony Shaffer for looking into the USPS ballot trafficking scandal and FBI agents working for Chris Wray harassed the whistleblowers!
7. The State Farm Center ballot stuffing operation
As reported in December 2023 – Chris Wray’s FBI, along with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s office, released a report in June 2023 where they announced that they “did not uncover any violations” during their investigation of the late-night ballot counting at The State Farm Center in Atlanta, Georgia on Election Day November 3, 2020.
According to the report, “Teams of investigators from the FBI, GBI, and Georgia SOS conducted independent and simultaneous interviews of Fulton County elections workers who were involved in the processing and scanning of absentee ballots at State Farm Arena on Election Night on November 3, 2020.
Investigators from the three law enforcement agencies also reviewed the entire unedited security video footage of the events in question at State Farm Arena. SOS investigators independently interviewed party observers who were present at State Farm Arena that evening.”
They say they did not uncover any violations or evidence of wrongdoing. That’s because they hid it from their report.
The interviews for this investigation took place back in December 2020, following the November 2020 election.
According to the FBI-GBI report, the “bulk of the investigation appears to have been conducted in December 2020 and January 2021, but both the State Election Board and the Georgia Secretary of State’s office was backed up reviewing claims.”
Again, the report was just released in June 2023 by Chris Wray’s FBI and the GBI in Georgia – along with Georgia SOS Brad Raffensperger. It appears that there was no new information in the report other than what was known in December 2020, so it begs the question – Why did it take three years for Chris Wray’s FBI to release the report?
Several election officials went back to the State Farm Arena, and they began counting ballots late at night without observers present. According to the Georgia Republican Party at the time, this was unlawful activity.
Tweets from GA GOP Chair David Shafter following the 2020 presidential election and irregularities at the State Farm Center in Georgia.
Joe Hoft, who is a contributor at The Gateway Pundit, first released video at the time exposing election workers at the State Farm Center on Election night shoving stacks of ballots through the machines multiple times late at night without any election observers in the room.
In one instance, the stack of ballots was fed through one machine three times by operator Ruby Freeman, and that same stack of ballots was then fed through another machine by-election worker Ralph Jones. The same stack of ballots went through the machines at least four times!
Here again, is a video of the election workers pulling hidden ballots out from under a draped table, jamming the ballots through the machines multiple times.
It should be noted that this was not just happening at one table but at multiple tables.
Watch:
Following the 2020 presidential election, Rudy Giuliani and The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft and Joe Hoft were sued by two election workers, Ruby Freeman and Wandrea Shae Moss, her daughter. The two women claim that they were threatened after Rudy Giuliani, Jim, and Joe reported on their illicit activities late at night on November 3, 2020.
The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft discussed the case with a very prominent attorney in December 2023. We were advised to review the report released in June by Chris Wray’s FBI, GBI, and the Georgia Secretary of State’s office.
And what we found was clear-cut dishonesty by Chris Wray’s FBI and Georgia’s Brad Raffensperger.
Chris Wray’s FBI, the GBI, and GA SOS interviewed the individual who created the fake Ruby Freeman social media page and published totally fabricated posts that allegedly were put up by Ruby Freeman.
(For the record, The Gateway Pundit did not post these social media reports at the time because they were completely over the top. We knew they were likely fake.)
Here is what is interesting: The FBI interviewed the “man” who created the fake Ruby Freeman account, but they NEVER named him in the report. His name was redacted for some reason?
From the report:
“He created the @rubyfreeman Georgia account but did not write the specific post regarding tampering with the 2020 election,” according to the FBI report.
“On December 4, 2020, he came across Instagram user “@[redacted] who posted the supposed confession by Freeman. Shortly thereafter, @[redacted] changed their account name to @rubyfreeman_georgia. That account holder subsequently changed the account name to “rubyfreeman_georgia. The account was later made private, and then deleted. [redacted] created a new @rubyfreeman_georgia account and described his account as being a fake or parody account.”
FBI report page 9
FBI report page 9
The FBI did not arrest the man, as far as we know. Why not?
Who is this man? Why was his name redacted?
Why was the second man’s name redacted? Why was the second man not arrested?
The “Investigative Findings” or conclusion of the FBI, GBI, and GA SOS report omits the most important accusations!
The Gateway Pundit was the first to report that the election workers, Ruby Freeman, Shae Moss, Ralph Jones, and others, were shoving stacks of ballots through the machines numerous times. There is a video of Ruby taking a stack of ballots and shoving the ballots through the machines three times! There is a video of Ralph shoving that same stack of ballots through his machine after they were fed through Ruby’s machine.
There is also proof that Ruby was operating the machine despite not being qualified to operate it! How is that legal?.

The FBI DID NOT include one word in their conclusion on the numerous election workers double and triple feeding ballots through the voting machines late at night after the election observers were sent home!

We saw it when the battleground states all announced they were shutting down their counting for the night on election night for the first time in history.
And now we see it in this completely disingenuous report by the FBI on the State Farm Center ballot stuffing operation.
Bill Barr and FBI Director Chris Wraycovered-up the most glaring evidence of election fraud in 2020 – the State Farm Center late-night ballot stuffing scandal. Wray and Barr published a dishonest report and lied to the American public.
This is just a partial list of Bill Barr and Chris Wray’s actions before, during and after the 2020 election.
Bill Barr played a major role in the scheme to remove President Trump by any means necessary.
