A campaign staffer for Abdul El-Sayed, the radical leftist running for Senate in Michigan, was recently caught on an undercover camera saying that 'Americans are idiots.' The staffer is apparently angry about the scrutiny El-Sayed is getting over his family's reported ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. To make matters even more ironic, this staffer is supposedly El-Sayed's 'conservative and independent outreach captain.' The Midwesterner reports: U.S. Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed’s staffers have no issue with his ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, an issue he waves off as a genuine concern “because Americans are idiots.” T.J. Wolfgram, Independent and Conservative Outreach...

Federal authorities raided a California mansion related to an investigation into disgraced former Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., on Tuesday morning, Fox News has learned.

Voter Protection Corps wants social-media monitoring treated as core election infrastructure, backed by lawyers and networks that deliver rebuttals before voters encounter the claims. ======================================================================= A group founded by an Obama campaign veteran has built a program to recruit lawyers to help get election posts removed from social media ahead of the 2026 midterms.

Its September 8 recruitment notice spells out why it wants lawyers involved: “lending legal credibility to formal removal requests.”...

Two of the FBI agents most closely identified with the FBI’s politicized operation to smother the Hunter Biden corruption scandal are facing their first taste of accountability. Nikki Floris and Bradley Benavides were charged Friday with allegedly lying to Congress about Hunter Biden’s laptop. ... Floris had been the deputy assistant director of the FBI and “functional head” of the bureau’s Foreign Influence Task Force, which ran a covert operation before the 2020 election called “Round River,” specifically to collect all derogatory reports about Hunter Biden from FBI informants and falsely flag them as “Russian disinformation.” Benavides was the Section...

The Ukraine war’s mounting casualties, Western divisions, and dwindling prospects for victory make a negotiated peace increasingly urgent before the conflict spirals into an even greater catastrophe. The Ukrainian Gordian KnotAfter crossing with his army into Asia, Alexander the Great stopped at Gordium (in modern-day Turkey). He approached the famous Gordian knot—a tangled mass of bark tying an ox cart to a pole, so intricate and tight that no one could unravel it. When told that anyone who could untie the mess would rule all of Asia, Alexander simply pulled out his sword and cut through it—solving the problem and...

A Michaels arts and crafts store is facing accusations of political discrimination after an employee reportedly refused to frame a photograph of President Donald Trump, patriotic artwork and even a newspaper commemorating the historic Apollo moon landing. The confrontation, captured on video and shared on social media, has sparked questions about whether the national retailer allows employees to reject custom framing orders based on political content. . @MichaelsStores refused to custom frame three things for me: my favorite image of President @realDonaldTrump, a @McNaughtonArt piece, and an original moon landing newspaper. Apparently "custom framing" now means the clerk approves your...

The Hells Angels motorcycle club, which the FBI classifies as a “transnational violent outlaw motorcycle gang,” is publicly denying any affiliation with a Southern California man who was convicted on child pornography charges and sentenced to more than 11 years in prison last month.

A statement sent to KTLA by attorney Gary Wenkle Smith, who represents...

Anti-Semitism is always the final destination of the trash demagogue. It’s the hole card that gets laid down when everything else has failed. That has certainly turned out to be the case with Abdul Muhammed El-Sayed. He has, of course, been circling around it throughout his campaign, beginning with his dalliance with Hasan Piker, arguably the lead voice of left-wing anti-Semitism for this decade. But now, with a single week left in his campaign for the Senate, he has settled into it with a vengeance. No longer is it possible for El-Sayed to totter atop the fence emitting dog-whistles in...

In Sen. Elissa Slotkin’s (D-MI) now-famous interview on Fox News, where she warned young conservatives away from politics, we see the liberal bubble in action. Or is it the color revolution to dump Trump? Or just a girl graduate of the CIA Color Revolution School fluffing her feathers? I am shocked, shocked, how many prominent national women did their turn in the CIA or a CIA-adjacent NGO. It’s not just Slotkin. There’s Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA). Avril Haines served as Deputy Director of the CIA, but I guess that doesn’t really count as spy service. Then there is NPR CEO...

Moraes argues that there is a risk that Flavio Bolsonaro could flee abroad to avoid prosecution. Lula and Moraes want to jail Flavio with his father Jair Bolsonaro - There crime was daring to oppose them in an election and forcing the communists to make an obvious steal. This is sickening!

"I have never been to Cuba, and so I will have...

I used to watch the Super Bowls for two reasons no matter who is playing: the commercials and the halftime shows. Having the commercials release on YouTube a few days before the game has ended that particular anticipation for the most part. I can't stave off the temptation. Especially for the spots of upcoming movies even if those films are ten whole months out. That leaves the halftime show. A spectacle that has long entertained folks regardless of the competing teams. But let's face it: the halftime shows of the past several years have been too bereft of real engaging...
