    Have you wondered why the story of the Minnesota assassin Vance Boelter has suddenly vanished from the news? Now we have a pretty good idea why. Boelter, who murdered State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband while also shooting State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, unleashed terror that sparked a massive manhunt before his capture late Sunday. Initial media coverage was rife with speculation, with left-leaning outlets eager to cast Boelter as a MAGA Republican, hastily blaming the GOP and even President Donald Trump for inciting his shooting spree. Yet the letter found in Boelter’s abandoned vehicle tells a...

    Boelter stands accused of carrying out a brazen and calculated attack, posing as a police officer to gun down two sitting state lawmakers: Rep. Melissa Hortman and Sen. John Hoffman. He also allegedly shot the lawmakers’ spouses in the ambush. Hoffman and his wife survived. Hortman and her husband did not. ... Boelter’s vehicle contained flyers emblazoned with the slogan “No Kings”—the same phrase we saw at anti-Trump protests across the country ... most striking is Boelter’s history with the state’s Democrat leadership. In 2019, Gov. Tim Walz appointed him to a four-year term on Minnesota’s Workforce Development Board. Before...

    Smartmatic, the electronic tabulator company suing Fox News for alleged defamation following the 2020 election, failed in a February court hearing to disclose a meeting with Democrat megadonor Reid Hoffman, newly unsealed court documents allege. Following the 2020 election, both Fox News and Newsmax “hosted commentators who aired concerns that tabulators were not secure, were vulnerable to voter fraud, and had possibly changed Trump votes to Biden votes,” as described in these pages by Logan Washburn. Smartmatic sued, arguing the comments amounted to defamation. Fox previously settled a suit with Dominion Voting over similar allegations while Newsmax recently settled with...

    A well-coordinated, well-funded, and high-powered network of leftist organizations, led by a group whose efforts 2016 Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton promoted, is behind the push to remove former President Donald Trump, the 2024 frontrunner for president from any party, from the ballot, Breitbart News has learned. But it’s much broader than that: For years, this network of leftists grew from a powerful vast left-wing conspiracy unmasked a decade ago into now being the dominating force on the left determined to stop Trump at all costs. What’s more, these leftists clearly control what top Democrats are saying, forcing their...

    Following Tuesday’s massive loss to Donald Trump in the New Hampshire primary, Republican candidate Nikki Haley has lost a major Democrat source of support – billionaire (hoax funding) LinkedIn founder, Reid Hoffman. According to CNBC, Hoffman gave $250,000 to a pro-Haley super PAC last year, but has no immediate plans to help her again. Hoffman, suffering from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), wrote in December that while he supports Joe Biden, he thought that Haley had the best chance of beating Trump in the Republican primary.

    Billionaire LinkedIn co-founder and major Democrat donor Reid Hoffman, who recently donated $250,000 to Nikki Haley in a strategic attempt to stop Donald Trump from winning the GOP nomination, visited Epstein Island. Hoffman donated to Haley’s campaign after a chief executive for JPMorgan Chase, Jamie Dimon, called on Democrat donors to donate to Haley through the SFA Fund Inc. super PAC. Last year, Hoffman admitted he had visited Epstein’s island, Little St. James, telling the Wall Street Journal, “It gnaws me that, by lending my association, I helped his reputation, and thus delayed justice for his survivors.” According to then-MIT...

  • Democrat Dollars Cloud the Nikki Haley Presidential Campaign

    The danger is acute for Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley, and it will extend far beyond 2024. As the former South Carolina governor welcomes support wherever she can find it while seeking to be anointed as the one choice anti-Donald Trump forces can coalesce around in the primary process, Haley’s campaign faces the disastrous perception of being just another progressive establishment ruse, at least in the eyes of the grassroots GOP voters who will decide her fate. Base Republicans strongly believe Americans have been subjected to one con after another from out-of-touch elites in recent years. With that in mind,...
