After state officials refused to review more than 20,000 voter registrations flagged as potentially belonging to noncitizens, the DOJ filed an emergency lawsuit seeking to set aside any ballots returned by those voters. California is fighting back, accusing the administration of voter suppression just weeks before Election Day. Plus, Adam Schiff raises alarming possibilities about federal intervention in the election, and Larry examines what this confrontation could mean for November.Fri, 16 Oct 2026 14:07:06 -0400<![CDATA[PJ Media Video]]>https://pjmedia.com/videos/2026/10/16/department-of-justice-challenges-california-voter-rolls-n4958386Why Mass Migration Is So Difficult to Stop<![CDATA[Donald Trump has taken steps that have virtually ended illegal border crossings.

Should Pull a Jill Biden<![CDATA[Look, let’s be honest: 99.9% of the time, ANYONE other than an M.D. who calls himself a “doctor” is an insecure, self-aggrandizing twit.

In America, that line is now the southern border. It is the bleeding edge of a larger question, not about migrants or policy, but about whether this country still has the will to exist as a nation bound by laws. As cities crumble under the weight of unvetted arrivals, violent crime, and leaders who seem more devoted to foreign nationals than their own citizens, President Trump’s decision to federalize the National Guard and send troops into lawless states is not an act of aggression. It is an act of preservation. A country that cannot enforce its laws has already ceased to be one.]]>Fri, 16 Oct 2026 12:50:00 -0400<![CDATA[Maureen Steele]]>https://pjmedia.com/maureen-steele/2026/10/16/law-or-nothing-the-fight-to-save-the-american-republic-n4958375West Coast, Messed Coast™ — Let's Hear It for an Oregon Good Guy With a Gun<![CDATA[Greetings to those keeping up with the bizarro world of the weekly West Coast, Messed Coast™ report.&nbsp;]]>Fri, 16 Oct 2026 11:29:00 -0400<![CDATA[Victoria Taft]]>https://pjmedia.com/victoria-taft/2026/10/16/west-coast-messed-coast-lets-hear-it-for-an-oregon-good-guy-with-a-gun-n4958370New York Times Frames Repatriating Kids Trafficked by Biden as Trafficking<![CDATA[You don’t hate the mainstream media enough.

Iran isn't letting him. The Iranians are letting the Democrats and the media do their work for them in undermining support for ending the war on terms the U.S. can live with, and they see no reason to make a deal as long as they have a chance to get everything they want.
