Washington D.C. — Retired Lt. General Michael Flynn is calling for immediate action. In a powerful interview with podcast host Benny Johnson, General Flynn demanded that the FBI and Department of Justice conduct a raid on former President Barack Obama’s mansion in the exclusive Kalorama neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Flynn stated bluntly: “Just as was done to President Trump when they raided his home at Mar-a-Lago… I do think that what the DOJ should be considering if not getting ready to conduct is a raid of Barack Obama’s home up there at Kalorama in Washington DC.” He accused Obama of running former President Joe Biden’s White House from behind the scenes at that very residence. General Flynn emphasized that this is not a partisan issue — it is about justice and accountability. He called for a dedicated task force and prosecutor at the Attorney General level to investigate immediately, stating that the American people deserve answers and that those responsible for the years-long coup against President Trump must face consequences. His comments come as Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard continues to declassify bombshell documents exposing what she has described as a “treasonous conspiracy” by high-level Obama administration officials to sabotage Trump’s first term through the Russia collusion hoax. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) made it clear on “Sunday Morning Futures” that criminal prosecution and arrests are necessary. She pointed to violations of 18 U.S. Code 1001 for lying under oath and putting out false intelligence reports. Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) agreed, stating: “There need to be arrests on this matter. People need to go to jail on this because this is about the republic. This is not about one president — it is about the presidency and the continuation of our country.” The evidence now being released shows overwhelming proof that the Obama administration laid the groundwork for the Russia collusion investigation after Trump won the 2016 election. Gabbard has vowed to release even more detailed information this week about how the truth was deliberately hidden from the American people. President Donald J. Trump was the victim of one of the greatest political witch hunts in American history. The deep state, with the full backing of the Obama administration, weaponized the intelligence community, the FBI, and the media to try to destroy him and overturn the will of the voters. Now, with Trump back in the White House and a Justice Department committed to equal justice, the hunter has become the hunted. The American people are finally seeing the truth. The radical left spent years screaming about “democracy” while they tried to steal it. They weaponized government against a sitting president and his supporters. That era is over. Under President Trump’s leadership, accountability is returning. The rule of law is being restored. No one — not even former presidents — is above the law. General Flynn, Rep. Luna, Rep. Donalds, and DNI Gabbard are right. The American people demand justice. The deep state conspiracy against Trump must be fully exposed, and those responsible must be held accountable. The radical Democrat Party continues to lose voters because Americans reject this culture of corruption and two-tiered justice. The America First movement grows stronger every day because it stands for truth, fairness, and putting the American people first.

Nearly 150,000 California Mail Ballots Rejected In Primary

California election officials are examining why nearly 150,000 mail-in ballots were rejected during the state’s June primary, with late-arriving ballots accounting for most of the increase.

The higher rejection rate comes despite years of election law changes designed to make voting more accessible and ensure more ballots are ultimately counted.

According to data compiled by the California Secretary of State’s office, 148,241 mail-in ballots were rejected during the June primary, representing 1.73% of all mail ballots returned.

That marks an increase from the 2024 primary, when 108,982 ballots were rejected, or 1.56% of all mail ballots cast.

The largest reason for rejection was ballots arriving too late to qualify under California law.

State data shows that 93,479 ballots were rejected because they failed to meet the state’s deadline requirements.

California allows mail ballots to arrive up to seven days after Election Day, provided they are postmarked on or before Election Day.

Voting experts believe many of the rejected ballots received postmarks dated after Election Day, making them ineligible to be counted even if they arrived within the seven-day grace period.

Kim Alexander, president of the nonpartisan California Voter Foundation, said the timing of postal processing appears to be a significant concern.

“Ballots rejected due to lateness are caused primarily to being postmarked too late to count, not because they arrived too late to count,” Alexander said.

Election experts have questioned whether recent operational changes within the U.S. Postal Service may be contributing to delayed postmarks.

Earlier this year, a group of mostly Democratic U.S. senators wrote to the Postal Service expressing concern that mail-processing changes could affect ballot handling during federal elections.

Updated Postal Service procedures mean postmarks may reflect when mail is processed at regional facilities rather than when it first enters the mail system.

Because processing centers have been consolidated in some areas, election officials have warned that postmark timing could be affected.

Before the June primary, California election officials encouraged voters to mail ballots as early as possible because of potential postal delays.

The June election also featured a highly competitive race for governor, which some experts believe encouraged many voters to wait until the final days before casting ballots.

In addition to late-arriving ballots, approximately 44,000 ballots were rejected because election officials determined the voter’s signature did not match the signature on file.

Another 8,300 ballots were rejected because the return envelope did not contain a signature.

State records also show that 743 ballots were rejected because those voters had already cast another ballot.

Other rejected ballots involved missing ballots inside return envelopes or multiple ballots submitted in a single envelope.

The highest rejection rate in the state occurred in Tulare County, where 3.52% of returned mail ballots were rejected.

Alpine County and Merced County followed closely, each recording rejection rates of 3.36%.

California has frequently faced criticism for taking weeks to complete vote counting after major elections, largely because state law permits ballots meeting certain requirements to continue arriving after Election Day.

Following the June primary, President Donald Trump again criticized California’s election system, while the Department of Justice opened an investigation into election administration in Los Angeles County.

Election experts emphasize that the increase in rejected ballots should not be interpreted as evidence of widespread voter fraud.

A 2025 report by the Brookings Institution found documented cases of mail ballot fraud remained extremely rare, estimating roughly four cases for every 10 million mail ballots cast, The Associated Press reported.

State officials have not identified evidence of widespread fraud connected to the June primary, but the increase in rejected ballots is expected to receive additional scrutiny as election administrators evaluate whether changes in postal operations, voter behavior or election procedures contributed to the higher rejection rate.
