Some Democrats are grumbling at their party's largely oppositional stance to President Trump's raid to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, saying privately that their colleagues should be celebrating. Why it matters: These lawmakers argue it could be a major political miscalculation if the party fails to applaud the downfall of a brutal dictator with sufficient volume, even given grave concerns about the operation's legality and longer-term ramifications. Party leaders have raged at Trump for bypassing Congress and leaving them in the dark about the operation to capture Maduro, which involved striking several military targets in Venezuela's capital city. And many...

Kamala Harris is mad that President Donald Trump’s administration captured Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro. But she apparently forgot that the Biden-Harris administration offered a $25 million bounty on him. The Biden-Harris administration made available a $25,000,000 reward for information that would have lead to the arrest of Nicolas Maduro.Now you're saying capturing him was unlawful? Did you just entirely forget your administration's policy? pic.twitter.com/fbXSDzPZ68— Will Chamberlain (@willchamberlain) January 4, 2026Donald Trump’s actions in Venezuela do not make America safer, stronger, or more affordable.That Maduro is a brutal, illegitimate dictator does not change the fact that this action was both unlawful...

(Dec. 29, 2025) — New York State resident and registered voter Montgomery Blair Sibley, who challenged the claimed “natural born Citizen” status of former Vice President Kamala Harris, reported Monday on his Substack and website that the U.S. Supreme Court has docketed his petition for a Writ of Certiorari in his long-running “eligibility” case. The action came after Sibley appealed a dismissal from the New York Court of Appeals, the state’s highest court. ... continue reading at: https://www.thepostemail.com/2025/12/29/scotus-dockets-harris-eligibility-case/

Former U.S. Senator Chris Dodd, who is linked to corporate bailouts, lobbying for Hollywood, and alleged sexual assault of a waitress at a restaurant, is among seven individuals appointed to Joe Biden’s Vice Presidential selection task force. Dodd, the 75-year-old from Connecticut, will be joined by Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester, D-Del., and former Biden counsel Cynthia Hogan. Three other appointees will work specifically on vetting chosen candidates; Bob Bauer, husband to former Obama Communications Director Anita Dunn, Obama homeland security advisor Lisa Monaco, and law professor Dana Remus. Dodd also chaired the Senate Banking Committee...

During an appearance on the "Rich Little Brokegirls" podcast, former Vice President Kamala Harris offered up some advice for single people looking to meet a partner: "There are different phases in your life. Depending on what phase you're in, maybe you're going to choose that you want to have that kind of Friday night relationship or you want that Sunday morning relationship...be in those phases where you are having fun. Be in those phases where you have a sense of I just want something more."

Another one bites the dust.Per a new item from the New York Post, another BLM leader has been hit with a slew of financial crimes charges, centered around an alleged “embezzlement scheme” totaling millions of dollars:The executive director of the Black Lives Matter chapter in Oklahoma City was indicted for allegedly siphoning off more than $3 million in grants to bankroll luxury vacations, shopping sprees, groceries, a car, and six properties over five years, federal prosecutors announced Thursday.Tashella Sheri Amore Dickerson, 52, was slapped with 20 wire fraud counts and five money laundering charges for funneling $3.15 million meant for...

As the Trump administration is reportedly preparing to deploy 100 U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to Minnesota, home to an estimated 87,000 people with Somali ties, Lutheran church leaders are pushing back against federal immigration enforcement actions with evangelism. Last Tuesday, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said ICE agents are being deployed to the Twin Cities to specifically target the Somali community, which has faced allegations of rampant fraud involving the state’s benefit system after federal prosecutors charged dozens of individuals with stealing over $300 million from the Federal Child Nutrition Program through Feeding Our Future, a Minnesota-based nonprofit....

In July 2019, Minnesota state officials spotted early signs of fraud that would eventually siphon away more than $1 billion in taxpayer money, but they quickly faced pressure from leaders of the charitable group Feeding Our Future to stop asking questions, according to multiple former employees at the Minnesota Department of Education.

Cold Case Heats Up"[The current FBI] was competent at cracking the case; [Christopher Wray's] was competent at corruption and obstructing it."- Mike BenzDo you have any idea what tapestry of corruption and crime is attached to the little thread of the J6 / DNC / RNC pipe bomber suspect arrested yesterday by the FBI? Consider this: suspect Brian Cole, Jr., is alive and probably talking, unlike, say, Jeffrey Epstein and Thomas Matthew Crooks in other matters of public interest. Let’s hope he is under FBI protection in custody, lest something. . . say. . . happen to him.Dressed for government...

Ruh-roh. Sounds like trouble in Democrat Land. Seems Josh Shapiro caught wind of some things Kamala Harris wrote about him in her memoir, things he considers LIES. --SNIP-- Harris wrote that the governor wanted to be “in the room for every decision” if she became president, adding that he often hijacked conversations and frequently needed to be told he wouldn’t have equal power.

A group of Minnesota state government employees said they wrote to former Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) multiple times "warning them" about Gov. Tim Walz and what they described as his "incompetence, fraud scandals and retaliation." "We tried our best to keep the public informed as our tweets are public. Maybe Kamala Harris turned a blind eye to fraud like her running mate?," the Minnesota Department of Human Service Employees account — which says it represents more than 480 current staff members at the Minnesota Department of Human Services — posted on X. "Over the...

Christianity Today is doubling down on woke. The Christianity Today Board of Directors has unanimously elected Dr. Nicole Massie Martin as its next President and CEO. Dr. Martin has an impressive academic resume. She's the founder of SoulFire Ministries with degrees from Vanderbilt, Princeton, and Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, where she currently works. And, of course, she's as woke as the day is long. Here's an article from the good doctor from one year ago about voting for Kamala Harris: At ages 9 and 11, my girls watched my husband and me vote for the one we believed would be the...

The Trump campaign ad showing Kamala Harris expressing unequivocal support for taxpayer-funded sex change surgery for prison inmates, including illegal aliens, was undoubtedly the most impactful of the 2024 race. It was surely the most significant campaign ad since Willie Horton did in Michael Dukakis in 1988. So, you might have thought that when Audie Cornish had a federal judge who issued a ruling mandating such taxpayer-funded surgeries as a guest on the CNN This Morning show she hosts, Cornish just might have brought it up. But no. That might have distracted from the segment's theme: Orange Man Bad, and...

emember that "wave of intense support" for Kamala Harris in the summer of 2024, stemming from her social media campaign using terms like "brat" and "coconut?" Me neither. But Audie Cornish does! On Wednesday's edition of CNN This Morning that she hosts, Cornish brought on Katie Drummond of the leftist magazine Wired to explain why Zohran Mamdani's social media campaign has been so successful, while Kamala's flopped: When I look at Kamala Harris, and we think about Brat/Coconut Summer, there was this sense of like a wave of intense support, right? And attention. Why do you think that that didn't...

The Democratic Party's coronation of Kamala Harris as their 2024 presidential nominee wasn't the smooth, unified effort they wanted the public to believe. Behind closed doors, it was pure chaos, with Barack Obama furious at Nancy Pelosi for moving too fast and essentially backing Kamala’s anointing before anyone else had a shot at it. When Joe Biden finally bowed out of the race in July 2024, Nancy Pelosi wasted almost no time throwing her support behind Kamala. Less than a day after Biden's announcement, Pelosi was all in on Harris. The problem? According to excerpts from Jonathan Karl’s forthcoming book,...

Former President Barack Obama was not pleased that former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris the day after President Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race.In his new book Retribution, ABC News' Jonathan Karl provided new details on what had been widely known - that Obama didn't want a quick coronation of Harris, but rather 'a process' to determine who would become the Democratic nominee. The Daily Mail obtained an advanced copy. Obama called Pelosi shortly after her endorsement of Harris became public. 'The Obamas were not happy,' a Pelosi confidant told Karl. 'This...

For all the unity that the Democratic Party projects, there’s actually a lot of drama behind the scenes, and it’s nice to see the details finally come out. According to a new tell-all on last year’s campaign, Joe Biden spent the last weeks of his re-election meltdown dodging phone calls—not from reporters or donors, but from Barack Obama himself. For two full weeks before he finally bailed out last July, Biden reportedly refused to take his old boss’s calls. And get this: even after he quit, he gave Obama the cold shoulder for another month. It’s a far cry from...

A female agent formerly on the Secret Service detail for Vice President Kamala Harris’ stepdaughter Ella Emhoff moonlighted as a model and never passed her physical fitness test, sources told RealClearPolitics. Former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle emphasized Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) during her tenure before she was forced to resign in the aftermath of the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump’s life, RealClearPolitics reported. Under Cheatle’s leadership, one agent on Emhoff’s detail was retained after she failed to pass her physical fitness test multiple times, sources in the Secret Service community told the outlet. The agent was featured...

OMG! You must watch this! This is absolutely Kamala! 🤣🤣🤣 You will say, damn, who did this? 🤣

When we think of whom to thank for Donald Trump’s 2024 election victory, we should not forget to mention Joe Biden’s press secretary.
