Federal prosecutors’ stunning indictment of a left-wing activist group for alleged financial crimes is reverberating in Georgia’s 2026 Senate race, with Republicans targeting Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., for his past ties to the organization. The Department of Justice brought criminal charges against the Southern Poverty Law Center in April for allegedly defrauding its donors by secretly transferring money to extremist groups with the goal of infiltrating and monitoring their activities. Ossoff, the most vulnerable Senate Democrat running for re-election in 2026, is endorsed by the law center’s 501(c)(4) arm. The group contributed more than $700,000 to his campaign account in...

“The billionaires and corporations are spending big in this race to oppose me and to support the other people on this stage,” he claimed. This same statement is made by every Democrat in any race above the level of dog catcher, but when it’s being made by a candidate who is not only a billionaire, but whose only reason for running in any race is being a billionaire, that takes it to a whole other level of hypocritical grifting. If Steyer were just a working class Bay Area millionaire like Gov. Gavin Newsom or Rep. Ro Khanna, but without their...

From millionaires to overseas foreigners, from NFL players to luxury car owners, our money is going to everyone but us. ou’d think that the recent find of 34,000 deceased North Carolinians still registered to vote would be bad enough, but Epoch Times reported 5,000 deceased people are also receiving SNAP benefits. This sounds like the plot of a B-rate horror movie: “Night of the Voting/Eating Dead.” SNAP is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program providing benefits to people, like food stamps. USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins stated that SNAP is one of the “most corrupt, dysfunctional programs” in U.S. history, with 80%...

A manufactured crisis plays out daily in the parking lots of LA’s Home Depot stores. Day laborer centers, seven city-contracted hubs often nestled on private commercial property, have become battlegrounds. And, no surprise, the NGOs now want more of your hard-earned dollars. Nonprofit organizations like CARECEN demand millions in local taxpayer dollars not to help workers find jobs, but to shield illegal aliens from lawful federal enforcement by ICE.

Rubén Rocha Moya, the Mexican governor indicted by the United States this week, said Friday night that he would temporarily step down from his post, expanding the political fallout from accusations that he aided a powerful drug cartel for years. Mr. Rocha, 76, said in a two-minute recorded statement late Friday that he was innocent but would take “a temporary leave of absence” as governor of the Mexican state of Sinaloa to focus on defending himself from the accusations.

Taxpayer funded pro-illegal immigration groups are demanding millions of dollars from LA residents to help them attack ICE and fund day laborer hubs near Home Depot sites. The groups are already getting $1-million-a-year from LA City Council, and are now demanding a $2-million-a-year funding increase to help them fight against ICE operations and maintain buildings outside the hardware stores. The hubs offer everything from restrooms to free legal services and employment advice to day laborers, all paid for by nonprofits funded by taxpayers. Socialist councilmember Eunisses Hernandez has backed the move that would see groups like the Central American Resource...

Now that the FBI is busting fake Somali day cares in Minneapolis, Somali pirates are taking to the high seas back in their own country and hijacking ships, taking hostages and hoping Gov. Tim Walz shows up. Thus far the piracy has been mostly internal with a Pakistani crew, Indonesians and Syrians taken hostage. That also says something about which sailors and ships felt comfortable operating near Somalia. Thus far three ships have been hijacked in a week by the Somalis. Somali officials who have benefited from massive amounts of foreign aid are arguing for negotiations and claiming that they...

Biden administration officials may have sought to dodge public records laws and congressional oversight by classifying taxpayer-backed loans to Planned Parenthood as “Benghazi,” according to findings by Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa. Ernst, chairwoman of the Senate Small Business Committee, has been investigating Small Business Administration loans to the nation’s largest abortion provider under the Paycheck Protection Program during the COVID-19 pandemic. In a letter sent Monday to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, Ernst asked for a Justice Department investigation “for potential Federal Records Act violation by concealment and/or attempted concealment” of SBA records regarding loans to Planned Parenthood and loan...

Former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino revealed he found a "mother lode" of documents tied to the "Russiagate" investigation that he alleges were meant to be destroyed. Speaking on the "Hang Out with Sean Hannity" podcast, Bongino said what he witnessed behind the scenes of "Crossfire Hurricane" — the FBI's probe into potential collusion between President Donald Trump and Russia — was far more sinister than he anticipated. "I thought I knew Russiagate," Bongino told Hannity. "It was like 10 times worse." Bongino described finding a "burn bag," which is typically used to incinerate sensitive documents for security purposes. He...

The $730 Million Smear Factory That Calls Normal People “Hate Groups” • SPLC was founded in 1971 to fight poverty & racism… but today it sits on a $730 MILLION endowment while spending almost nothing on actual poor people. • They rake in over $100 MILLION every year in donations, yet their own staff admitted in 2019 the group is full of “systemic racism & sexism” – 9 employees wrote a public letter calling it out! • Co-founder Morris Dees was fired in 2019 after decades of sexual misconduct allegations from female staff.

Dr. Mehmet Oz, the administrator of the agency overseeing Medicaid and Medicare, announced Tuesday that his agency’s anti-fraud effort will come to every state. During an interview at a Politico-hosted event, Oz said that every U.S. state can expect anti-fraud activities involving funds received through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS).“We are going to announce this week that all 50 states are going to be requested to give us a plan over the next 30 days of how they’re going to re-validate providers in high-risk areas in their states,” Oz said.Oz explained that it would involve proving whether individuals...

WASHINGTON—White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Wednesday said the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is a “criminal organization,” according to a grand jury indictment, and that the allegations the Department of Justice (DOJ) has brought against it should be front-page news nationwide. Leavitt responded to Breitbart News’s question about the White House’s reaction to the SPLC indictment and the DOJ’s allegations. “Yeah, I saw the indictment yesterday. I saw the acting attorney general and FBI director do a press conference on it. It was quite shocking to me to learn of the egregious violations of the law the Southern...

WASHINGTON — Far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar blew up at a reporter this week for asking questions about accounting “discrepancies” the Democrat blamed for overstating her net worth by millions of dollars on financial disclosure forms. In May last year, Omar (D-Minn.) claimed she and her husband, Tim Mynett, held assets worth between $6 million and $30 million. However, an amended filing reported by the Wall Street Journal last week put the couple’s wealth at between $18,004 and $95,000. The lawmaker claimed the initial filing was riddled with accounting errors. “Congresswoman Omar, the last time I spoke to you, you said...

Whether in political parties or the new media, there seems to be a whole lot of Chinese-friendly ideas floating around. hina has successfully infiltrated every aspect of American politics, and we’re seeing the consequences. What paved the way forward was the utter fragmentation of the American political scene. No longer do we have a strong Democrat-versus-Republican divide; instead, myriad political splinter groups, Democrat subsets: labor-backed organizers, libertarian-leaning activists, pro-immigration coalitions, and growing Muslim and other identity-based blocs, or the smaller number of Republican subsets: evangelical conservatives, MAGA-aligned populists, America Firsters, or defense hawks. In addition, our government is fragmented: there...

🚨 Here is 10 minutes of me confronting the California politicians who authored the "Stop Nick Shirley Act"... When confronted about AB 2624: - Lied about authoring the bill - Couldn't justify the bill - Acted like they didn't know about the bill This bill will CRIMINALIZE exposing fraud, violates the 1st Amendment, protects NGOs from disclosing taxpayer dollars, and these politicians see no problem with it. The fraud is now exposed and they need new laws to hide it. EXPOSE ALL THE FRAUD.

Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.) resigned from Congress on Tuesday, 30 minutes before she was scheduled to appear before an ethics panel over her alleged theft of $5 million in taxpayer money to fund her political ambitions. A House Ethics investigative subcommittee found last month that she violated more than two dozen laws, rules or regulations governing lawmakers and was weighing whether to recommend a censure — or potential expulsion. “After careful reflection and prayer, I have concluded that it is in the best interest of my constituents and the institution that I step aside at this time,” the Florida Democrat...

This week, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) took action to avert a Democrat disaster in the state's gubernatorial election. Sitting Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) is term-limited. A crowd of candidates are running in the "jungle primary" where the top two finishers are paired against each other in the general election. Since last November polls have repeatedly shown that the top two candidates favored by the voters are both Republicans. Pelosi said "when Eric Swalwell told me he was going to run for governor I advised him not to. We all knew he had been naughty, but Congress has a...
