As Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook challenges President Donald Trump's push to fire her for alleged mortgage fraud, a top Trump official is offering her advice.
Appearing on "Sunday Morning Futures" with guest host Jackie DeAngelis on the Fox News Channel, Peter Navarro, the White House senior counsel for Trade and Manufacturing, said: "What I think Lisa Cook needs to do is get up and explain to the American people what she did.
"Is there a reason that's legitimate for what seems like the worst kind of home fraud?"
DeAngelis agreed, saying, "I think the American people would love to hear it if she would stand up and explain that to us."
Navarro explained: "With respect to the president's ability to fire [Cook], of course he does."
"Here we've got a a case of what appears to be apparent malfeasance. This is not a slap-on-the-wrist thing."
"I went to prison, Democrats put me in prison for defending the Constitution. And I was there , there were a couple of guys there who had similar kind of bank-loan fraud. They were there for years. They had their assets forfeited and they had burdensome restitution."
Navarro discussed his opinion piece in the Federalist, in which he said Trump is perfectly right in firing Cook "for cause."
"Cook's 'cause' is alleged malfeasance tied to her mortgage paperwork. According to public reporting, in June 2021, Cook obtained a $203,000 mortgage in Michigan. Just two weeks later, in July 2021, she signed for a $540,000 mortgage in Georgia.
Each loan reportedly included a primary-residence occupancy clause requiring her to move in within 60 days and remain for at least one year unless the lender consented. If, as alleged, both applications represented those properties as 'primary residences,' two homes in two states two weeks apart creates an irreconcilable timeline absent lender consent. Those facts remain subject to litigation, but they are sufficient to test integrity and meet a for-cause threshold pending judicial review."
"Cook's firing is not about her incompetence and partisan weaponization of Fed policy — 'cause' though her incompetence well might be. Nor is Cook's firing an attack on the Fed's independence.
"Cook's firing is about the paperwork: two mortgages, two states, two weeks apart, both allegedly marked as a 'primary residence.' On the face of such alleged malfeasance, cause exists, and that is enough for a president to act while the courts resolve the rest.
"The lesson is simple: In public service, integrity is judged in real time, not deferred until a jury renders a verdict."
On another critical issue, Navarro says White House officials "feel very optimistic" about overturning an appeals court decision that said Trump's sweeping tariffs are unconstitutional.
"If we lose the case, President Trump is right. It will be the end of the United States," Navarro warned.
On Friday, Trump himself said of the tariff ruling: "A Highly Partisan Appeals Court incorrectly said that our Tariffs should be removed, but they know the United States of America will win in the end.
"If these Tariffs ever went away, it would be a total disaster for the Country. It would make us financially weak, and we have to be strong. The U.S.A. will no longer tolerate enormous Trade Deficits and unfair Tariffs and Non Tariff Trade Barriers imposed by other Countries, friend or foe, that undermine our Manufacturers, Farmers, and everyone else.
"If allowed to stand, this Decision would literally destroy the United States of America. At the start of this Labor Day weekend, we should all remember that TARIFFS are the best tool to help our Workers, and support Companies that produce great MADE IN AMERICA products.
"For many years, Tariffs were allowed to be used against us by our uncaring and unwise Politicians. Now, with the help of the United States Supreme Court, we will use them to the benefit of our Nation, and Make America Rich, Strong, and Powerful Again! Thank you for your attention to this matter."

A coalition of business owners and others is calling on the city council in Philadelphia to back away from its planned curfew scheme – a move that would, in fact, order businesses to shut down just when their customers are needing services and products.
It is the Institute for Justice that is working with those owners and other grassroots activists to call to abandon the change, which apparently was intended to address the city's surging crime problem.
Chef José Luis, owner of Alta Cocina Food Truck in Juniata and Alta Cocina Restaurant in West Kensington, and Mitesh Patel, owner of The Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy in Kensington, teamed up with IJ to take the action.
"Crime is a serious issue and the city must act to address it, but this ordinance as it is currently constructed would do little to combat crime while having a serious negative impact on Philly's small businesses," said Jennifer McDonald, of the IJ, "We're calling on city officials to recall this ordinance, get feedback from communities that will be impacted, and come up with a new proposal that won't harm honest businesspeople."
The curfew plan was created in June and insists that there is an 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew on businesses that sell goods to customers in the 7th, 8th, and parts of the 1st city council districts.
Exempted are restaurants with liquor licenses, gas stations, or those serving exclusively from a drive-thru window. However, convenience stores, takeout restaurants, mobile vendors, and others would be forced to close during these hours, under the threat of $1,000 fines.
Luis explained those hours are the time period when his business makes "a little money."
Philadelphia already has more narrowly targeted curfews in place elsewhere in the city. This bill would expand the city's existing business curfew coverage by more than 500%. It would also deprive the 13% of the city's workforce who work nighttime jobs of the ability to pick up food, coffee, medication and other essentials after they get off work, the IJ documented.
Police officials there already have warned the curfew likely would result "in inconsistent or uneven enforcement."

Former New York City Mayor and Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani is hospitalized with severe injuries after being struck by a car at high speed in New Hampshire on Saturday night.
Michael Ragusa, head of Giuliani's security, disclosed some details on X, indicating: "On the evening of August 30, 2025, in New Hampshire, Mayor Giuliani was involved in a motor vehicle accident.
"Prior to the incident, he was flagged down by a woman who was the victim of a domestic violence incident. Mayor Giuliani immediately rendered assistance and contacted 911. He remained on scene until responding officers arrived to ensure her safety."
"Following this, while traveling on the highway, Mayor Giuliani's vehicle was struck from behind at high speed. He was transported to a nearby trauma center, where he was diagnosed with a fractured thoracic vertebrae, multiple lacerations and contusions, as well as injuries to his left arm and lower leg."
Ragusa stressed: "This was not a targeted attack. We ask everyone to respect Mayor Giuliani's privacy and recovery, and refrain from spreading unfounded conspiracy theories."
He noted Giuliani had been traveling in a rental car.
One commenter asked specifically: "Was it the alleged perpetrator of domestic violence who struck his car, or was it random / unrelated?"
"Random and unrelated," Ragusa replied.
Another wondered: "Where was his security?"
Ragusa answered: "You can't control reckless drivers hitting you from behind my brother."
He is in "good spirits and recovering tremendously," Ragusa told Fox News Digital.
"He'll be released in a few days and he's doing great. Conscious, alert, strong. He'll be back to business as usual this week," he added.
Gen. Mike Flynn, a former national security adviser to President Donald Trump during his first term, said: "Prayers coming your way Mayor!!! Thank God you're alright and thank you for always being there to help others in need. That's why you'll always be 'America's Mayor.'"

A top White House official went to war with CNN on Sunday as a network anchor used deceptive data to downplay deadly attacks against Christians by transgenders.
Sebastian Gorka, the White House senior director for Counterterrorism, appeared on "State of the Union" with guest host Brianna Keilar, as the pair discussed Wednesday's mass-casualty shooting at the Annunciation Catholic Church and School in Minneapolis that killed two children and wounded 17 others.
The perpetrator, Robert Westman, a transgender who had changed his name to Robin Westman, killed himself at the conclusion of the horror.
Keilar asked Gorka: "When you are looking at the U.S. Secret Service National Threat Assessment Center looking 172 mass attacks in the U.S. between 2016 and 2020. 96% of the attackers were non-trans men.
"So I know you're focusing on the shooter being trans, uh, the shooter was trans, and that is certainly of note. But are you missing the bigger picture here when you zero in on that instead of more broadly these school shooters as an epidemic and you perhaps miss through line that connects them all?"
Gorka responded: "Well, no, because your facts obfuscate two things: You are using data based on the predominant gun violence, which is gang-on-gang violence with zero ideological content.

As America reels from Wednesday's horrific shooting at a Catholic school in Minneapolis that killed two young children and injured 17 others, a top Christian author says there are numerous, obscure Bible verses that reveal God's presence and lessons amid the bloodshed.
"I know it's difficult for many believers to understand the driving force when tragedies like the deadly gunfire at the Catholic school and church occur," says Joe Kovacs, author of "Reaching God Speed."
"And this shooting has myself and millions of Americans praying for God's comfort for the victims and their families. But when we let God speak for Himself through His revealed Word of Scripture, atrocities like this can be understood when we learn the intended message of these devastating, real-life parables."
As WorldNetDaily reported, Robin Westman – a transgender individual formerly known as Robert Westman – shot and killed two children, ages 8 and 10, and wounded 17 others at the Annunciation Catholic School and Church on Aug. 27 in Minneapolis during their morning worship service.
Westman left behind disturbing videos and a manifesto outlining deranged thoughts and a longtime to desire to kill children and even President Donald Trump.
Kovacs says: "One message prominently painted by the killer on the magazine of a gun plainly states a word-for-word Bible passage that is not often talked about. It reads: 'Where is your God?' This is a direct quote that is actually mentioned twice in Psalm 42.
"Here are the verses: My tears have been my food day and night, While they continually say to me, 'Where is your God?' (Psalm 42:3 NKJV)
"As with a breaking of my bones, My enemies reproach me, While they say to me all day long, 'Where is your God?'" (Psalm 42:10 NKJV)
The author explains, "This is in-our-face evidence of the satanic spirit of anti-Christ driving Westman, as Scripture indicates how common it is among the Creator's enemies even from ancient times to continually ask, 'Where is your God?' – as if God does not exist. God is broadcasting this for everyone to realize the mindset of those who hate Him."
"Of course, God does exist, having brought everything into existence, and He is omnipresent, as Scripture notes: 'Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself.'" (Ephesians 1:23 NLT)
"The eyes of the LORD are everywhere, observing the wicked and the good." (Proverbs 15:3 CSB)
In his manifesto, Westman admitted feelings of severe dejection, knowing his satanic scheme was wrong.
"I am not well. I am not right. I am a sad person haunted by these thoughts that do not go away. I know this is wrong but I can't seem to stop myself," Westman wrote.
"I want to go out on my own means. Unfortunately, due to my depression, anger and twisted mind, I want to fulfill in a final act that has been in the back of my head for years."
"Interestingly, that same Psalm 42 which mentions 'Where is your God?' also voices the feelings of turmoil and despair that many experience," says Kovacs.
"Why, my soul, are you so dejected? Why are you in such turmoil?" (Psalm 42:5 CSB)
"And the second part of that same verse actually provides the way out of the anxiety and confusion: 'Put your hope in God, for I will still praise him, my Savior and my God.'"
Some Democrats, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a potential candidate for president, attacked the idea of praying to God in the wake of the Minneapolis shooting, parroting the line: "These children were literally praying as they got shot at."
Kovacs says: "Of course, this is more evidence of the spirit of anti-Christ at work today, as it directly defies God's instruction to 'pray without ceasing,' (1 Thessalonians 5:17 NKJV) and the teaching that 'The LORD is far from the wicked, But He hears the prayer of the righteous.'" (Proverbs 15:29 NKJV)
The author explains there are even more biblical explanations for the tragedy that unfolded in Minneapolis, but they're sometimes overlooked or perhaps even suppressed.
"When we understand the totality of Scripture, we can see clearly that God is not all about sunshine and happiness all the time," he explains. "Disasters of all types happen in the Bible, even to decent people, and there's often extreme suffering involved.
"But what many don't realize, and this is a very tough pill to swallow, is that God Himself is the one causing or allowing calamities. Yes, I know it's surprising and perhaps contrary to many people's notion of a loving, merciful God. But here are just a few examples breathed out by God letting us know who's behind the very bad news at times."
"If a disaster occurs in a city, hasn't the LORD done it?" (Amos 3:6 CSB)
"I make peace and create calamity; I, the LORD, do all these things." (Isaiah 45:7 NKJV)
"I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal." (Deuteronomy 32:39 KJV)
Kovacs adds: "The New Testament actually describes a mind-numbing disaster in which 18 people were killed in a tower collapse, and their personal innocence or guilt was completely irrelevant to the catastrophe, as Jesus indicated: 'Or those eighteen that the tower in Siloam fell on and killed – do you think they were more sinful than all the other people who live in Jerusalem? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all perish as well.'" (Luke 13:4-5 CSB)
"This is the key to understanding all disasters, no matter how they manifest in our physical lives. God is using calamities as wake-up calls to get everyone, especially people who were not involved in the disasters, to repent from any sin, whether it's an obvious one or something secretly dwelling in hearts and minds, so they won't perish eternally."
"God Himself asks: 'Why do you want more beatings? Why do you keep on rebelling?'" (Isaiah 1:5 CSB)
The author notes that Scripture does provide an answer to such beatings.
"Perhaps when the people … hear about every disaster I plan to inflict on them, they will each turn from their wicked ways; then I will forgive their wickedness and their sin." (Jeremiah 36:3 NIV)
Kovacs stresses the issue is simple, but of utmost importance.
"We need to realize we're all involved in a fierce, continuous, spiritual battle for eternity. The gift of immortal life that God is giving us is at stake. The love that God has for us is saving us from certain death.
"When there are high-profile disasters that harm large numbers of people, individuals who may be among the most innocent among us – whether they be the shooting victims in Minneapolis or the folks killed in the terror attacks on 9/11 – we all need to examine ourselves and eliminate any sort of defiance against our loving Creator, who has provided us a way out of our deathtrap known as mortality."
"I don't want you to die, says the Sovereign LORD. Turn back and live!" (Ezekiel 18:32 NLT)

California's deliberate scheme to censor satire, and prevent its politicians and others from being the butt of online jokes, has failed.
A federal district court has ruled that two California laws censoring online political speech are unconstitutional.
"Making fun of politicians and criticizing the government is a core First Amendment right. That includes using new technology to create parody campaign ads or satirical memes," explained lawyer Johannes Widmalm-Delphonse of the ADF.
"The court was right to rein in California's blatant censorship. We can't trust the government to decide what is true in our online political debates," the lawyer said.
The ADF is working on the case involving the Babylon Bee and others. There are two lawsuits involved, Babylon Bee v. Bonta and Rumble v. Bonta.
ADF is representing the satire website The Babylon Bee while California attorney and blogger Kelly Chang Rickert, and Rumble, operator of a large video-sharing platform that hosts a variety of content, including political commentary, are in the second case.
The fight is over AB 2839, "which targets and punishes speakers for engaging in certain political commentary, including posting satirical memes and parodies of politicians, "and AB 2655, "which requires large online platforms to act as the government's censor and remove certain political commentary from their sites," the ADF explained.
The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California found both laws to be unconstitutional.
"Our job is hard enough when our jokes keep coming true, as if they were prophecies," said The Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon. "But it becomes significantly more difficult when self-serving politicians abuse their power to try to control public discourse and clamp down on comedy. We're pleased the court recognized the First Amendment secures our right to tell jokes, even ones the government doesn't like."
"It is alarming to think that government officials could decide which political speech is permitted, silenced, or erased altogether," said Rumble CEO and Founder Chris Pavlovski. "At Rumble, we are unwavering in our commitment to free expression and creative freedom, which is why we're proud to join with ADF in defending the fundamental right to speak openly online."
The court's ruling said, "When it comes to political expression, the antidote is not prematurely stifling content creation and singling out specific speakers but encouraging counter speech, rigorous fact-checking, and the uninhibited flow of democratic discourse."
The district court granted the satirists their motion for summary judgment, explaining, "Plaintiffs bring a facial attack against AB 2839, arguing that the statute is unconstitutional because it restricts core political speech while simultaneously discriminating based on content, viewpoint, and speaker. California defends the statute by highlighting AB 2839's exemptions for parody and satire and arguing that the statute only regulates content that purports to be an authentic record of actual events. The Court finds that AB 2839 discriminates based on content, viewpoint, and speaker and targets constitutionally protected speech."

Texas authorities have delivered cease-and-desist letters to groups and organizations that are shipping the deadly abortion pills into the state.
A report at Live Action News explains the letters are from the office of Attorney General Ken Paxton, and targeted three "radical organizations."
The state demands include an "immediate end to the unlawful advertising, sale, and shipment of abortion-inducing drugs into the State of Texas."
The warnings went to Plan C, Her Safe Habor, and California doctor Remy Coeytaux, who have been cited as shipping agents for the pills.
On social media, Paxton explained, Texas will not "tolerate the murdering of innocent life through illegal drug trafficking."
There's a law in Texas, as well as the federal Comstock law, addressing the shipment of deadly drugs into the state.
The AG's letters explain that "performing, inducing, or attempting an abortion is prohibited in the State of Texas…."
Further, it informs the abortion cartel players that the federal Comstock Act of 1873 bars the carriage in interstate commerce of "any drug, medicine, article, or thing designed, adapted or intended for producing abortion."
Paxton said, "This legal action follows two tragic cases in Texas in which radical abortion activists and organizations facilitated men illegally purchasing abortion-inducing drugs."
In one recent case a wrongful death lawsuit was filed against a virtual abortion pill business, accusing them of a forced chemical abortion that killed a child of a Texas woman against her will.
Further, Coeytaux is warned, "You have been named in a recently filed lawsuit as having shipped abortion pills into the State of Texas via your affiliation with Aid Access. … In Rodriguez v. Coeytaux, the plaintiff alleges that the abortion pills which caused the death of two preborn children were obtained from Aid Access via an order prescribed by you…. This conduct violates multiple state and federal laws."
"Texas also prohibits false, misleading, or deceptive trade practices under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA), Tex. Bus. & Comm. Code § 17.46," the AG's cease-and-desist letter to Plan C said."
Civil penalties for violations can reach up to $100,000 per violation.
The letter warns a refusal to comply could mean a formal investigation and "injunctive relief."

Another Department of Justice worker has been dismissed for attacking federal law enforcement, by messaging if not physically.
Earlier, Sean Charles Dunn, a DOJ paralegal, was canned after throwing a sub sandwich at a Customs and Border Protection agents.
He was accused of felony assault but a grand jury in the leftist enclave of Washington declined to indict, so prosecutors came back with a misdemeanor charge that now is pending.
But he lost his position immediately.
Now it's happened a second time, with constitutional expert Jonathan Turley commenting on the firing of Elizabeth Baxter, another intern, who was fired by Attorney General Pam Bondi "for abusive conduct toward federal officers."
"Baxter shouted profanities and flipped off a member of the National Guard in Washington, D.C., on her way to work. The termination raises legitimate free speech issues, but Baxter may have crossed the line by recounting the abuse at work," he said.
Baxter's case is different from Dunn's in that she's not accused of any assault.
However, he explained, "According to the New York Post, after arriving at a DOJ building on the morning of August 18, Baxter bragged to a security guard about how she had just made the gesture at the Metro Center Metro Stop. She also recounted how she told the guardsman, 'F–k the National Guard.'"
Her original "protest" was not at work, or during work hours and DOJ guidelines affirm protection for expressing opinions on political subjects and candidates.
But her employment rules also state she may not: "Participate in political activities (to include wearing political buttons) while on duty; while wearing a uniform, badge or insignia of office; while in a government occupied office or building; or while using a government owned or leased vehicle."
Turley explained Baxter's insistent on repeating the "protest" to a security officer took her actions "into the workplace."
"Not only did security footage capture her flipping off the National Guardsman and exclaiming, 'F–k you!' but she is also seen demonstrating to a department security guard how she held up her middle finger. She boasted to the security guard that she hated the National Guard and that she told them to 'F–k off!'" he wrote.
She could challenge the action, he noted, but, "She elected to repeat the political expression inside the federal building to at least one other federal employee during office hours. As such, she destroyed much of the constitutional protection afforded to her earlier statements and demonstration."
According to the Washington Examiner, "DOJ spokesman Gates McGavick praised the termination on Friday, writing in a post on X, 'if you don't support law enforcement, [Attorney General Pam Bondi's] DOJ might not be a good fit.'"
Bondi's termination notice said Baxter was booted "immediately" because of "inappropriate conduct."

A lawsuit has prompted officials in Asheville, North Carolina, to abandon their race requirements for city commission appointments.
A report from the Pacific Legal Foundation said the city council has voted to eliminate "race-based membership preferences" for its Human Relations Commission.
The change is part of a settlement of a lawsuit over the disputed practice.
"Government has a constitutional duty to treat all people equally under the law," said Andrew Quinio, an attorney at Pacific Legal Foundation who represents the residents. "Asheville should treat its citizens based on their character, qualifications, and achievements, not on characteristics they cannot control like race or ethnicity."
It was John Miall, a lifelong resident of the city who spent nearly 30 years working for the city including as its director of risk management, who had applied to serve on the Human Relations Commission of Asheville in 2023.
He was passed over because he was the wrong race.
Eventually, following the filing of the lawsuit, the city did appoint him to the board, but five other qualified residents – Robyn Hite, David Shaw, Willa Grant, Danie Johnson, and David Evans – faced the same discrimination for the same reason.
The case charged that the city was in violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution.
Under the consent decree, filed Friday, Asheville must ensure equal opportunity on the commission by administering appointments without regard to race, ethnicity, color, or national origin. The city must also publicly state that appointment to the commission is open to all qualified applicants regardless of race.
The PLF documented that Miall had retired from the city government in 2006 but continued to work as a private sector consultant. He already had been chairman of Asheville's Civil Service Board and a candidate for city council and mayor.
The Human Relations Commission was created in 2018, and Miall "felt his decades of municipal experience and a boundless desire to serve his community would be a natural fit for the commission. Nevertheless, when John applied for one of the vacant seats in early 2023, the city council rejected his application—because of his race," PLF reported.
The original commission board was set up with quotas for the 15 members, including specific requirements for those who are "African Americans, Latinx, LGBTQ members, 'professionals with influence,' youth members, a representative from each of the city's geographical areas, public housing residents, and individuals with disabilities."
The board later was cut to nine members, and while the city ended the "quotas," it inserted "race-based membership preferences."
The PLF explained in bringing the complaint, "No government commission or committee should use an individual's race or ethnicity to determine who gets the opportunity to serve their public. Treating people according to immutable characteristics like race violates the very notion of equality before the law. People should be treated as individuals, not as members of a group they did not choose."

Tina Peters, nearly 70, is imprisoned in Colorado in a Democrat lawfare case that erupted after the 2020 election.
She was convicted in the leftist courts of the leftist state of infringing their rules regarding passwords for elections systems and jailed, even though the state's current secretary, Democrat Jena Griswold, unleashed hundreds of active passwords online and was given a free pass by Democrat prosecutors.
Her case is being appealed, and even President Donald Trump has told the DOJ to check for options to intervene in the state case.
"If you're just going to stand after you've done all those things. Yeah. A lot of people won't do that. They'll throw it on haphazardly, and then the armor, and then they'll go hide somewhere, wait for a miracle to happen. You got to stand. You got to stand no matter what," she said in an interview with Joe Hoft.
WND reported only days earlier that President Donald Trump renewed his call for freedom for "Patriot" Peters, a former Colorado county elections official jailed by the leftists in the state on their charges of election interference.
She was indicted, convicted, and jailed for allegedly releasing one inactive password to an elections system several years ago.
However, Griswold was given a free pass for having hundreds of current passwords online.
Griswold earned the backing of the Democrat political machine in her failed attempt to remove President Donald Trump from the 2024 presidential ballot, a move that was approved by her own all-Democrat state Supreme Court but reversed by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Continuing the "torture" of Peters will bring bad things to Colorado, Trump promised.
"FREE TINA PETERS, a brave and innocent Patriot who has been tortured by Crooked Colorado politicians, including the big Mail-In Ballot supporting the governor of the State. Let Tina Peters out of jail, RIGHT NOW. She did nothing wrong, except catching the Democrats cheat in the Election. She is an old woman, and very sick. If she is not released, I am going to take harsh measures!!!"
During her sentencing, Matthew Barrett, the judge handling her state case, attacked her political speech, and denied her bond.
Peters' legal team has appealed her case to federal court, challenging the First Amendment violations and asking them to decide whether Tina Peters is being unlawfully imprisoned for her political speech.
The Post Millennial reported what Peters actually was accused of was providing someone with a security pass to review her county's elections system after she developed suspicions about the veracity of the voting system's conclusions.
Colorado Attorney General Philip Weiser, another activist Democrat, has asked the judge to dismiss Peters' petition to be released on bond pending the appeals process. Weiser, while claiming "No one is above the law," also has been completely inactive regarding any charges against Griswold for her involvement in released
Hoft prayed with Peters during her telephone call to him, from her prison location.
"Our dear Lord Jesus, we're so grateful to hear from Tina today. It lifts my spirit and heart, and we'll share more about what Tina's going through. Keep this story alive. We love Tina, and we thank you for protecting her and granting her safety in such a terrible situation. We know that you're going to be there for us until the end. We just need to hang in there, keep our faith, and have trust in you. Miracles, more miracles are going to happen by the day. In your name, we love you. Thank you, Tina."
Peters, whose case recently saw a new filing, explained, "Well, I'm still fighting, but I have a lot of hope. We got a lot of people praying for me, and I know a lot of people praying for you. And ultimately, that's what's going to save us all."
She explained, "You don't know how much courage you have until that's the only choice you have. You don't know. Some people will run, some people will freeze, and some people go forward into the fight. And people like you and me, we go forward into the fight. I mean, we just, you know what I'm used to say, it raises a Navy seal for nothing. It's like, we can't back down, we can't give up, and we can't give in."
WND previously reported that Peters "was a conservative in the far-left state, where the all-Democrat state Supreme Court partisanly tried to remove Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot. Where virtually all of the top state leaders in the governor's office and legislature are virulently anti-Trump."
Further, it's where "leftists in population centers like Denver and Boulder openly advocate for Americans' rights to be violated in order to protect illegal alien criminals. Where abortion was made a state constitutional "right" and the state constitution's protection for voters against massive overtaxing plans routinely is undermined. For example, Democrat lawmakers, faced with constitutional limits on raising 'taxes,' routinely hike them anyway and then simply call them 'fees.' For example, state residents who license vehicles and pay taxes have to pay a 'fee' for roads and bridges. Visitors to the state using the same roads and bridges don't pay that 'fee.'"
Complete Colorado has noted there are multiple "missteps" by Griswold that now could come under review.
Previously, Griswold earned infamy among elections officials by sending postcards to some 30,000 non-residents, telling them how to register to vote.
