POLITICO Poll Shows Strong Support for Key Elements of SAVE America Act
A recent survey conducted by Public First shows that U.S. adults support requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote by a three to one margin.
Most respondents backed stricter photo identification requirements at polling stations that specifically demonstrate citizenship rather than just identity.
Nearly half of those surveyed support requiring states to more aggressively remove names from voter rolls if citizenship status cannot be confirmed.
The poll results contradict media narratives by showing that only five percent of adults lack access to the various forms of identification listed.
WIKI-BIAS EXPOSED: Wikipedia Editors Scramble to Bury SPLC Indictment
Wikipedia editors reportedly worked to downplay a grand jury indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center by burying the news deep within the organization's entry.
The 11 count indictment involving wire fraud and money laundering was placed in the 65th paragraph of the page rather than the introductory section.
Researchers found that Wikipedia consistently elevates legal investigations against right of center organizations while silencing similar critiques of left wing groups.
Editors also blocked attempts to update the reliability rating of the SPLC despite accusations that the group defrauded donors and funded extremist organizers.
Nicolle Wallace: Trump Turned Rubio Into a 'Jackass,' 'Loser' Despite Praise for His Briefing
Secretary of State Marco Rubio received widespread praise for a high energy White House briefing where he handled complex policy questions in multiple languages.
MS NOW host Nicolle Wallace mocked the performance by claiming the President rendered Rubio a fool by adjusting policy shortly after the briefing.
Analyst Tim Miller joined the criticism by using personal insults and dismissing the possibility of Rubio becoming a future leader within the political movement.
The segment highlighted a sharp divide between the professional reception of the briefing and the hostile commentary provided by liberal media outlets.

On April 28, federal authorities swept through over 20 locations in Minneapolis as part of a fraud investigation into charities – including the infamous Quality Learing [sic] Center – that were largely owned by Somalis who stand accused of ripping off the state of Minnesota.
So, how much time did the broadcast (ABC, CBS, NBC) evening news shows devote to this big win for the citizens of Minnesota? Just 125 seconds.
MRC analysts looked at the week (April 28 - May 5) of coverage since the April 28 raid and found just 2 minutes, 5 seconds (all of it in one segment on the April 28 edition of NBC’s Nightly News) was devoted to the effort to shut down the Somali scams.
ABC’s World News Tonight and CBS Evening News have yet to air a second on the raids.
The almost complete silence is probably because the networks don’t EVER want to grant the Trump administration a win.
