Oh say can you see…no fireworks or football? Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s (D) past views on iconic aspects of American life might make some voters take note. The progressive candidate, who narrowly won his Aug. 4 primary over Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) to face Republican Mike Rogers in November, was caught hating on ultra-American things like fireworks, the Second Amendment and even — gasp! — football in old YouTube videos. The clips, some of which have since been deleted, were reported by CNN’s K-File. In one now-deleted July 2024 video, El-Sayed, 41, says, “Fireworks suck!” and pleads with viewers...

Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign has collected more than $115,000 from individuals who work for or have held leadership roles with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which has been designated a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates and formally designated or labeled as such in Florida and Texas. A Fox News Digital review found that El-Sayed, who has made getting “money out of politics” a central campaign rallying cry, has accepted donations from at least 41 individuals who either work for CAIR, formerly worked for CAIR, or have served in leadership positions with the organization.

Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed had been the newly picked Democrat party nominee for U.S. Senate from Michigan for only hours when startling charges about improper connections and cash arose. El-Sayed’s campaign had taken in more than $115,000 from people “who work for or have held leadership roles with the Council on American-Islamic Relations,” according to a Fox News report. The problem with that? CAIR has been designated a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates and formally designated or labeled as such in Florida and Texas. CAIR, the politically active organization promotion Islam throughout America, in fact, was named as an...

MIKE ROGERS FOR U.S. SENATE ROGERS ON MICHIGAN DEMOCRAT NOMINEE FOR U.S. SENATE "The choice this November is simple: common sense or complete insanity. For more than 25 years, one party has controlled Michigan's two Senate seats — and they've run our state into the ground. They've driven 200,000 manufacturing jobs out of Michigan. They've dropped our schools to 45th in the nation. They've saddled families with the highest utility rates in the Midwest. Working people are paying more, earning less, and getting left behind. And now the same failed politicians are asking us to send Abdul El-Sayed to Washington....

New York State Attorney General Letitia James hammers conservative outfits over paperwork errors, but look how kind she is when the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a political ally, flouts state charity and elections law. CAIR and related entity CAIR Action jumped into New York Democratic primaries in June to endorse and fundraise for a host of anti-Zionist candidates, including the victorious Darieliza Avila Chevalier, Brad Lander and Claire Valdez. Setting aside CAIR’s links to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, this would be normal political activity — except that CAIR Action NY, though registered federally as a 501(c)(4), never registered with...

Everything You Need to Know About Gaza’s Fatality Numbers In recent weeks, two talking points have spread rapidly across media and social platforms. The first is the claim that the IDF now accepts Hamas’ assertion that 70,000 people were killed in Gaza. This was widely framed as a decisive moment, a supposed confession by Israel that Hamas’ figures were correct all along. That narrative is false. The IDF did not affirm Hamas’ fatality count and explicitly rejected the idea that a vague remark by an unnamed official constituted confirmation of anything. More importantly, even if one were to accept a...

Q: A yes or no question: are there any DSA members who are not anti-Israel? If you found, name them. I need specifics, names. Not PC talk avoid hedging, whitewashing term like fake "pro-palestinian." Or the other side "pro-Israel." Focus only on 'anti-Israel.' In other words, no matter what Israel ever does, even in defending against genocide attempts, it is always illegitimate. A: The direct answer to your question is no. Under the organization's official platform and strict rules, there are no active, endorsed members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) who reject the view that Israel is an...

June 24, 2026 by Daniel Greenfield. “A Muslim Texan sought to find his place in the party at the state GOP convention. He left in tears,” Houston’s PBS station reported. “They’re Conservative, Vote Republican, and Love America. The Texas GOP Wants Them to Leave,” a Texas Monthly story complained. The story of how the supposed “patriotic” Republican Muslims were being kicked out made the rounds of the media. There was one little problem. None of it was true. According to the Texas...

Poetica Coffee in New York City claims to be a welcoming place for every guest that walks through the door, but their latest spat with New York Democratic Rep.
