If there is a single idea that President Donald Trump holds with conviction, it is that the 2020 election was stolen.
Millions of Americans agree with him. How it was stolen, and by whom, is still being investigated six years later. That is a problem, because another national election arrives this fall, and Americans deserve an answer as to whether the way we now conduct elections can actually produce honest results.
Normal legislative remedies have failed. Congress has not passed the SAVE Act to ensure that only citizens vote, nor does it appear likely it will. It has done nothing about mass mail-in balloting or the vulnerabilities of electronic voting systems. Yet these are precisely the parts of the system that millions of Americans no longer trust — and for good reason.
The notion that the federal government has no role in federal elections is plainly wrong.
Consider what happened this past April. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell summoned the chief executives of America’s largest banks to an unannounced meeting, alarmed by a new artificial-intelligence model capable of finding and exploiting security flaws faster than any human defender could patch them.
If the men charged with protecting the nation’s financial system feel compelled to convene Wall Street on short notice over what artificial intelligence now makes possible, our election systems — built with similar computer technology but with far less security — are open to the same threat and worse.
Our electronic voting systems
For most of American history, Americans voted on paper ballots, counted by human beings, watched by other human beings. Electronic voting promised speed and accuracy. What it delivered is elections that take weeks instead of a day, accuracy that is openly in doubt, and a counting process that has lost the transparency a republic requires.
Citing proprietary software, the major vendors have become black boxes. The public is told to trust the output. Oversight is inadequate, and skepticism is the rational response.
The deeper problem is the very idea that voting and tabulation should be done electronically. The major suppliers — Election Systems & Software, Dominion Voting Systems (now Liberty Vote), and Hart InterCivic — all record and tabulate American votes on networked digital equipment running proprietary software. The vulnerability is, in part, that many of the electronic components are made in communist China. But even if all the components were made in the United States, they are not immune to a remote intrusion, a firmware exploit, or a software supply-chain attack.
The vulnerability is the architecture itself: an opaque, software-driven counting process exposed, directly or indirectly, to any determined bad actor, most especially a nation-state adversary. That is not a vulnerability at the margin. It is a structural compromise of the most sensitive function of self-government.
This is not theoretical. The People’s Liberation Army fields a cyber force approaching one million men, and American critical infrastructure is one of its principal targets. In 2019, federal officials seized a Chinese-built power transformer destined for Colorado; analysis at Sandia National Laboratory revealed what appeared to be a hardware back door enabling remote disablement.
In 2023, Microsoft identified Volt Typhoon, a Chinese campaign pre-positioning malware inside U.S. critical infrastructure to enable sabotage. To imagine that our election systems are immune to the same treatment is folly, more so now that the aforementioned use of artificial intelligence has become another weapon in the adversary’s arsenal.
Some will point to the recent Reuters account of a federal examination of Dominion machines seized from Puerto Rico, in which investigators reportedly found no Venezuelan code and only one chip sourced from China. They will conclude that the foreign-component concern has been overstated. But that misses the point entirely.
The question is not whether a particular batch of machines, examined on one occasion, contained components from a designated adversary. The question is whether a computerized voting system, however sourced and however audited, can be defended against the cyber capabilities of a nation-state intelligence service.
The honest answer is no. The same Chinese cyber force that pre-positioned malware in our power grid, water systems, and ports does not require a chip stamped in Shenzhen to reach an American voting machine. It requires only that the machine exist, be connected to a network at some point in its life, and run software that can be updated. All three conditions are met.

New evidence
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has declassified the Jan. 15, 2020, National Intelligence Council memorandum “Vulnerabilities in U.S. 2020 Election Infrastructure,” which judged that Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea all had “the capability to compromise U.S. election infrastructure for the 2020 presidential election.”
Senior officials briefed President Trump in February 2020. The public was never told. Subsequent declassified memos indicate that Chinese actors gained access to voter-registration databases in 12 to 18 states. Gabbard has opened a probe into allegations that intelligence officials suppressed this evidence, kept it out of the President’s Daily Brief, and hid it from Congress.
This was a serious misrepresentation by members of the Intelligence Community, especially since the Chinese Communist Party declared a "People’s War" against the United States in May 2019 in response to President Trump’s efforts to halt its theft of American intellectual property.
Communist China, which spends roughly $20 billion a year on intelligence and influence operations inside the United States, has every interest, as a matter of high government policy, in who sits in the Oval Office.
The motive could not be plainer. A second Trump term meant continued tariffs, continued enforcement against Chinese IP theft, continued pressure on Huawei, ZTE, and the Chinese semiconductor industry, and a hardening U.S. posture across the Indo-Pacific. A Biden administration meant the reversal of all of it.
Consider the numbers. Obama received 69 million votes in 2008. Clinton received 66 million in 2016. Biden received 81 million in 2020. A 15 million-vote surge for the least charismatic Democrat in living memory cannot be explained by enthusiasm.
The January 2020 assessment noted that “adversaries could also use the registration data ... to tailor other interference or influence efforts.” It is well within the realm of possibility that communist China, armed with the names on those rolls, mounted an industrial-scale effort to produce counterfeit ballots indistinguishable from genuine ones and therefore votes for Joe Biden.
Such a possibility must at least be entertained. Otherwise, one is left to ask the obvious question no one in Washington wants to ask: Why did communist China hack into those voter databases in the first place?
Can elections be secured?
Congress will not act. Blue states will not reform their mail-in practices or replace their electronic systems. Securing federal elections therefore falls to the president in his role as chief magistrate. Two executive orders are needed even if they will be challenged in court.
The first is an emergency declaration outlawing electronic voting machines in federal elections, on the grounds that any networked, software-driven counting system is inherently vulnerable to nation-state cyberattack and cannot, under current conditions, deliver an election the public can verify. Executive Order 13848 from 2018 recognized the threat of foreign interference but triggers only after the fact.
America cannot afford after-the-fact remedies.
The second would require, since the electronic voting machines would no longer be used, federal elections to be conducted on paper ballots, hand-counted by human beings observed by other human beings, with photo ID, accurate voter rolls, election-day voting, and mail-in ballots reserved for the military and the genuinely confined. The counting would be live streamed. The result would be the most transparent election in American history.
States today hold the constitutional delegation to conduct elections, and ideally, they would administer such a system themselves. Given the political divide, many will refuse. One alternative is for the federal government — preferably the National Guard, federalized and operating under each state’s adjutant general — to administer the election directly.
Critics will invoke Article I, Section 4, which empowers Congress to alter the times, places, and manner of federal elections. That route would be preferable if our political system were not broken. Others will invoke states’ rights. But states do not have rights. Citizens have natural rights, and states are obliged to defend them. When states fail to defend the most basic right of a self-governing people – the right to a fair election – the federal government has the duty to act.
RELATED: Polarization may be the cure — and the clarity — America needs
The country’s critical infrastructure, which includes our election system, falls under the Department of Homeland Security. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the Election Assistance Commission sit in the executive branch. The notion that the federal government has no role in federal elections is plainly wrong.
The problem is that those agencies are not currently equipped to defend against a nation-state cyber adversary at this scale. And cybersecurity against communist China is beyond the capacity of any individual state government acting alone.
If federal authorities had actionable intelligence that a cyberattack was going to occur on America’s electronic voting systems during a federal election but did not have the ability to stop it, are they simply to stand aside and let the attack occur?
The commonsense approach would be to find a method of conducting the election that was not vulnerable to cyberattack. That is precisely why the president’s executive order is so urgently needed.
The choice at hand
As Director Gabbard’s declassifications confirm, China has gained access to the voter-registration data that defines our electorate. No election conducted on networked computers that a hostile intelligence service has the demonstrated capacity to breach, and on voter rolls that service has already breached, can deliver the legitimacy a republic requires.
Paper ballots, hand-counted, observed in the open, can. However controversial it may sound, it is the only way to ensure a fair election for the American people.

America's most powerful AI superchips may be in China's hands
The U.S. built an entire export control system to keep its most powerful AI chips out of enemy hands, but a loophole may have made the system vulnerable to infiltration by China and other countries.
America's chip export rules target where a company is headquartered, not who ultimately owns it — meaning a Chinese tech giant could set up a subsidiary in Singapore or Malaysia and buy chips the parent company never could.
'The new Blackwell that just came out, it's 10 years ahead of every other chip. But no, we don't give that chip to other people.'
The Bureau of Industry and Security in the Commerce Department released new guidance Sunday, clarifying that a subsidiary of any company headquartered in a U.S. arms-embargoed nation — including China — still requires an export license to purchase advanced chips, regardless of where the subsidiary operates.
The requirement had technically been on the books since November 2023 — but the BIS acknowledged it had been receiving questions about whether it was still being enforced.
In May 2025, the bureau scrapped the Biden administration's strict AI Diffusion Rule export framework. The Trump administration called it "overly complex, overly bureaucratic," and warned that it would "stifle American innovation" and damage diplomatic relations with dozens of allied nations.
Pulling the Biden framework without a replacement in place, however, left the rules that govern who can buy these chips effectively unenforced. Furthermore, chips purchased during the loophole window do not have to be returned.
Former State Department official Chris McGuire, who helped build America's chip export framework under Biden, sounded the alarm on X Sunday, writing that "Chinese companies have been buying these chips, very likely at scale."
While the new guidance requires export licenses for subsidiaries of companies linked to U.S. arms-embargoed nations, it does not reinstate a separate safeguard: the requirement for offshore chip manufacturers to verify who is ultimately behind a purchase — a vulnerability that McGuire warned remains unaddressed.
Trump struck a deal on December 8, 2025, allowing China to purchase the H200 — a less powerful Nvidia data center chip and the company's second-best — with Nvidia paying 25% of those sales back to the U.S. government. Trump announced the deal on Truth Social, writing that Chinese President Xi Jinping "responded positively."
However, it appears China "chose not to" approve the purchases.

While China was passing on the H200, a scaled-down export variant, Nvidia's Blackwell chips — which defense analysts warn could serve as the foundation for next-generation autonomous weapons systems — may have been flowing freely through the back door.
The Blackwell chip was never supposed to reach any entities linked to U.S. arms-embargoed countries. Trump made that explicit while speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One in November 2025: "The new Blackwell that just came out, it's 10 years ahead of every other chip. But no, we don't give that chip to other people."
Al Jazeera reported that Nvidia said the company had been operating according to the clarified rules, claiming its "sales and vetting process is correct." Nvidia also claimed China "has more than enough domestic chips for all of its military applications," raising questions about the Chinese military actively seeking Nvidia chips in the first place.
Nvidia did not respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.

Eli Lilly strikes a $3 billion Chinese drug deal
In April, President Trump signed an executive order slapping 100% tariffs on patented pharmaceutical imports. The idea: force drugmakers to bring manufacturing back to American soil — an America First bet that U.S. medicine should be made in the U.S.
Two months later, one of the country's biggest pharmaceutical companies cut a nearly $3 billion deal with a company in Beijing.
On Friday, Eli Lilly struck a research agreement with Beijing-based Haisco Pharmaceutical worth up to $3 billion — though neither company disclosed which diseases the drugs are meant to treat.
Shipments of gray-market GLP-1s from China surged 44% in January alone.
According to a Haisco press release, the deal covers "up to five innovative target programs" across "multiple therapeutic areas." The arrangement is simple: A Chinese biotech finds the drugs; an American pharma giant bankrolls them. Haisco gets $87 million up front, with the rest of the nearly $3 billion tied to milestones and a cut of future sales.
"This collaboration is highly aligned with our international development strategy and is expected to generate sustainable value and long-term returns. By partnering with a global biopharmaceutical leader such as Lilly, Haisco aims to accelerate the global development of innovative therapies and deliver high-quality treatment options to patients worldwide," said Dr. Pangke Yan, chief executive officer of Haisco, in the release.
Lilly has been on a buying binge fueled by blockbuster profits from its weight-loss drug Zepbound. Hours after the Haisco announcement, the Indianapolis company licensed a drug for short bowel syndrome from Korea's Hanmi for $1.2 billion. Earlier this year, Lilly signed an $8.5 billion collaboration with China's Innovent Biologics to develop cancer and immune system drugs.
RELATED: Why weight-loss drug prices finally fell — and who deserves credit
Zepbound costs over $1,000 per month without insurance — and Trump struck deals to bring that down to $245 for Medicare patients and $350 through TrumpRx. But shipments of gray-market GLP-1s from China surged 44% in January alone, as everyday Americans turned to Chinese suppliers offering the same compounds for as little as $50 a vial.
Lilly is not alone. New York-based Pfizer struck a $10.5 billion deal with Innovent — the same Chinese biotech Lilly just partnered with — to develop 12 cancer drugs. North Chicago-based AbbVie struck a $745 million deal with Haisco for two non-opioid pain treatments. U.S.-based Frazier Life Sciences licensed a Haisco lung disease asset for up to $955 million in January.
More than half of large pharmaceutical companies' licensing agreements this year have come from China, up from 39% last year and just 5% in 2022.

Hasan Piker is a pawn in THIS foreign regime's 'ideological warfare' against America
It has never been easier for hostile foreign powers to weaken the United States, and leftist influencer Hasan Piker is a great example of why that is.
“The Cuban regime wanted him in Cuba,” Blaze media co-founder Glenn Beck says. “Not just as a tourist or, you know, a curious American. According to Hasan himself, the Cuban government reached out through the embassy contacts and essentially said, ‘Hey, if internet access is the problem, we’ll provide it.’”
Piker discussed the situation during a recent podcast appearance, explaining that the Cuban government “hit [his] contact” and told him that if the “only thing stopping [him] from coming to Cuba was the consistent internet access,” the government could “make it happen.”
“So they want him over there now. Why? This is a communist dictatorship,” Glenn says. “A regime that jails dissidents, kills them, censors free speech. A regime that has survived decades through propaganda, intelligence operations, anti-American agitation.”
"You’ve got hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Cubans living here in the United States that escaped this monstrous regime. And they wanted to facilitate one of America’s biggest online political voices,” he continues.
Glenn points out that hostile governments don’t accidentally invest in Americans with large political platforms.
“Cuba’s not calling me and going, ‘Oh, you want a landline? We’ll get you a landline,’” he says.
“Let me be really clear on something here. That does not make Hasan Piker a Cuban spy, OK? More of a useful idiot,” he says, explaining that it’s more “about influence networks.”
“This is about how foreign states cultivate narratives inside free society. And America’s been asleep at the switch while this has been happening for years,” he continues. “The Soviet Union understood this. China understands this. Iran understands this. Cuba understands this. Hell, America, our CIA — we probably invented it.”
“And what we all learned is you don’t defeat — especially America — tank versus tank any more. You have to weaken trust. You fracture identity. You radicalize citizens,” he says.
“You convince young Americans that their country is evil, irredeemable, racist, colonial, genocidal, corrupt beyond repair, whatever the popular thing is this week. And once you get enough people believing that, then the republic just begins collapsing from the inside voluntarily,” he explains.
“That’s ideological warfare,” he adds. “And that’s what is happening.”

DOJ mysteriously drops case against Israeli linked to Chinese fraudster's creepy alleged biolab
An Israeli national linked to a Chinese fraudster's illegal biolab in Nevada managed to skate on a felony charge this month after the Justice Department mysteriously moved to dismiss the criminal complaint against him.
Police raided a house in northeast Las Vegas on Jan. 31 managed by 55-year-old Ori Salomon, an Israeli national currently in the U.S. on an E-2 visa, and owned by Jia Bei Zhu, a Chinese national convicted of fraud earlier this month and linked to the secret biolab discovered in Reedley, California, in late 2022.
Inside Zhu's Vegas property on Sugar Springs Drive, law enforcement agents found a "possible biological laboratory" complete with a "bio-safety hood, a bio-safety sticker, a centrifuge, multiple refrigerators, red-brown unknown liquids in gallon-sized containers, and refrigerated vials with unknown liquids," according to Christopher Delzotto, FBI special agent in charge at the bureau's Las Vegas office.
'The Government has concluded that the interests of justice require dismissal of the complaint.'
That same day, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department also executed a search warrant at the residence where Salomon lives and allegedly found a French passport bearing the name "Ori Salomon," an Israeli passport with the name "Ori Solomon," and a black semi-automatic pistol.
While Salomon — accused of being a primary "agent and conspirator" with Zhu, who contacted him 467 times in the weeks leading up to the raid — was arrested on a state charge of disposing and discharging hazardous waste, the discovery of a firearm at his residence evidently piqued the interest of federal law enforcement.
After all, Salomon is prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm as a non-immigrant visa holder.
According to the original criminal complaint, Salomon made a recorded call to his daughter while in jail where he discussed the presence of additional firearms at his residence.
RELATED: Hasan Piker tests the line between dissent and enemy aid
A federal search warrant was executed at Salomon's residence on Feb. 2, during which law enforcement reportedly seized multiple guns, including a Springfield Armory XD-9 9mm handgun; a Savage Mark II .22 caliber rifle; an IWI US Tavor-x95 5.56 rifle; a Glock 19 9mm handgun; and a Springfield Armory SA-XD ACP .45 caliber handgun.
Salomon's adult daughter confirmed that the firearms in the house belonged to her father, the complaint claimed.
Salomon was charged with one count of being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm.
However, on May 11, the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Nevada — helmed by Israeli-born U.S. Attorney Sigal Chattah — filed a motion to dismiss the complaint without prejudice.
Prosecutors neglected to detail in the motion why they wanted to dismiss the complaint other than noting, "After a careful review of the evidence and additional information provided by defendant, the Government has concluded that the interests of justice require dismissal of the complaint at this time."
The Justice Department and Salomon's attorney did not respond to Blaze News' request for comment.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Elayna Youchah, who released Salomon in February on a personal recognizance bond, ultimately agreed to dismiss the federal complaint. However, Salomon is still scheduled to appear in court on June 4 in connection with the hazardous waste charge.

'Anti-clanker': Why millions of people are cheering this android's humiliation
Robots and artificial intelligence may not be as popular as some think, and a new viral video proves it.
An X user is hoping robots do not revolt against him after he posted a video with the caption, "The greatest video I've ever seen."
'The lifeless clanker carcass just laying there.'
The clip stems from an event at an alleged customizable robot store in China, called Future Era.
The Shenzhen, China, event showed a robot wearing a white outfit, grooving on stage in an attempt to mimic Michael Jackson. As one of Jackson's biggest hits — "Billie Jean" — played, the robot glided around, copying the late pop star's dance moves.
About five seconds into the footage, the robot already found itself stumbling over a pair of steps, but it eventually recovered. After struggling with the moonwalk, the humanoid bot attempted to walk up the stairs again, but this time it fell, permanently.
The bot's corpse laid motionless for about 10 seconds as the upbeat music continued to play. The crowd remained completely silent in the dystopian moment until a stagehand approached the bot's lifeless body, grabbed it by the collar, and ceremoniously dragged it off stage.
The video has been viewed over 5.3 million times at the time of this writing.

"This is the greatest video I’ve ever seen," the caption read. "No notes. The lifeless clanker carcass just laying there. No crowd reaction, anything. Just Billie Jean. Until its lifeless shell is shamefully dragged off. Purely amazing."
Despite the joy the video seemed to bring viewers, at least one person was offended by it, writing on X, "imagine feeling so threatened by a robot you start using newly made slurs against it."
However, the overwhelming sentiment showcased a growing level of robot fatigue, as the fumbling bots are being pushed out into society at a rapid pace around the world. The rising "anti-clanker" movement is showing a greater appetite for violence against machines seemingly designed to replace human beings. Readers have already seen the bots chase wild boars and be welcomed into monk orders, among other bizarre situations.

However, this bot — which is likely a Unitree G-1 — is not exactly the technological advancement that China promoted in February. At the time, bots showed advanced martial arts capabilities and choreography in a video that was allegedly free from special effects and was meant to show off new capabilities regarding coordination and fault recovery.
It seems there may be more work to be done, however, after one of the $13,500 robots was defeated by exactly two steps in the viral video.
