Once again, Democrat Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania who suffered a stroke, is coming off as one of the most sensible members of his party. As Zohran Mamdani rises in the polls for the New York City mayoral race, Fetterman called people in his party ‘morons’ for accepting the ideology of socialism. He even talks about meeting a person from a socialist country who warned him about the evils of that economic system. Breitbart News reports:

New footage released shows Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska was fully aware and terrified as Decarlos Brown stabbed her to death. (Additional and more graphic footage was also later released.) The 23-year-old sobbed and suffered as she bled out. As The Gateway Pundit reported, 34-year-old Decarlos Brown Jr. murdered Iryna Zarutska last month by stabbing her multiple times on the Charlotte, North Carolina, light rail as bystanders did nothing.

Every time you think CNN can’t drop any lower, somehow, they manage to do it. In the case of the brutal murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, CNN’s Brian Stelter seems to think that the real tragedy in this situation is racism, specifically, the racism of Trump supporters for noticing this crime. This is a new low for him, which is really saying something. Transcript via Real Clear Politics:

Conversation Breanna Morello @BreannaMorello Back in July, a Middle Eastern man followed me while I was walking my dog. He snuck up behind me and entered my apartment complex. After I repeatedly told him to leave, he became coming up the stairs and towards me. He only left after he allegedly saw a “black pistol.” Police questioned me about a potential firearm and I refused to answer without an attorney. He has not been criminally charged. Plano PD waited weeks to investigate even after I pleaded with them to ID him. Obtaining the surveillance footage was a fight. I had...

The O’Keefe Media Group on Monday released leaked audio of Mitch Rosas, an FBI Senior Paralegal Specialist, confessing there is “something” being covered up in the Epstein case. Rosas also said the FBI won’t release all Epstein files until “this Administration is over.” He also suggested a lot of powerful Democrats are on the Epstein client list. “None of the people that are in a position to answer the questions are willing to do it because it’s clear that they’re covering something and protecting someone or some people,” Rosas said. AUDIO: Rosas was fired on Monday and escorted out of...

As I previously reported, triple-amputee Air Force veteran Brian Kolfage, who was wrongfully imprisoned by Southern District of New York Democrat operatives over being paid an approved salary for his part in getting miles of privately funded border wall built in Texas and New Mexico, was released from prison to home confinement in August. One of the requirements for his home confinement is that he submit to a drug test at random times weekly. If home confinement participants fail to take the drug tests, they are put back in prison. The drug testing center Kolfage is required to travel to...

Chicago federal facilities were seen being boarded up and fenced off in preparation for unrest and chaos in the streets by leftist activists and illegal aliens when the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) begin immigration raids this weekend. The Trump Administration has been planning federal law enforcement operations and potential National Guard deployment in the Windy City after at least 14 were killed and nearly 100 injured in shootings over the last two weekends. It was revealed last week that 200 or more Homeland Security Officials would be deployed in the sanctuary city of Chicago...

President Trump on Friday expressed support for mandatory vaccines for school-aged children, amid Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr.’s push to end unnecessary vaccination. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. testified Thursday before the Senate Finance Committee, where Democrats sought to grill him about his personnel and vaccine guidance shake-up at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Per the Hill, “the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stopped recommending the COVID-19 vaccine for those under 18. Kennedy, meanwhile, has fired all 17 sitting members of CDC’s vaccine advisory panel and also moved to oust...

In an unhinged statement, former Congressman Joe Kennedy III attacked his cousin and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, claiming he has chosen to “dismiss science, mislead the public, sideline experts and sow confusion.” “Robert Kennedy Jr. is a threat to the health and wellbeing of every American,” the statement read. Joe Kennedy further called for RFK’s resignation from the agency. The comments come one day after RFK’s explosive Senate Finance Committee hearing, where he held his own against the relentless Democrats on the committee. Full statement below: [Robert Kennedy Jr. is a threat to the health and...

Trump’s control over DC police is set to expire next week on September 10 if Congress doesn’t act. President Trump, on August 11 signed an executive order declaring a “crime emergency” and invoking powers under section 740 of the DC Home Rule Act to federalize the police. The Home Rule Act requires Congressional approval for the President to federalize the police for more than 30 days. However, earlier this week, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser signed an executive order for local law enforcement to work with federal officials indefinitely. Bowser previously admitted that Trump’s crackdown on crime in the city was...

It was a total demolition. Benny Johnson absolutely dismantled Geraldo Rivera during a fiery debate on Piers Morgan’s show, exposing the smug far-left pundit’s stupidity in real time for the world to see. Geraldo, who has made a career out of defending the indefensible, tried to lecture America that illegal aliens are not criminals — even as he openly admitted that their “only crime” is coming here illegally. The circular logic was laughable, but Benny wasn’t about to let it slide.

US District Judge Amir Ali, a Biden appointee, blocked President Trump from cutting billions of dollars in USAID and foreign aid that Congress authorized. Trump will immediately appeal Judge Ali’s ruling. “President Trump has the executive authority to ensure that all foreign aid is accountable to taxpayers and aligns with the America First priorities people voted for,” White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said in a statement to Reuters. Reuters reported:

A far-left federal judge erupted during a hearing on Thursday after the DOJ dismissed a case against a DC man who threatening to kill President Trump. Earlier this week a DC grand jury declined to indict Edward Dana after he was arrested damaging a light fixture at a DC restaurant. Dana also allegedly threatened to kill President Trump and the DC Metro officer who arrested him. .... Snip.... Federal Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui on Thursday screamed from the bench and blasted DOJ lawyers during a hearing to dismiss the case. The judge also apologized to the defendant who threatened kill...

"Fr. Altier expresses deep sorrow for the recent tragedy in the Twin Cities, where two children were killed and others were wounded. He attributes the violence to the perpetrator’s mental illness, influenced by demonic forces, and criticizes societal acceptance of transgender identities, arguing that it leads to psychological harm and violence. He also blames the media for covering up the connection between transgender individuals and mass shootings. The issue of gender identity must be approached with compassion and understanding, while also upholding the truth of God’s creation of male and female. The current societal acceptance of multiple genders is a...

A political dynasty may inherit Rep. Jerry Nadler’s (D-NY) soon-to-be empty seat, with former President John F. Kennedy’s grandson, Jack Schlossberg, mulling a run. The 32-year-old Schlossberg told The New York Times that running for Nadler’s seat is “certainly a possibility.” As Breitbart News reported, Nadler announced he would be retiring after three decades in Congress, saying that the fallout from Joe Biden’s presidency indicated the time has come for generational change within the Democrat Party. “Nadler’s departure will open a rare Democratic primary contest in Manhattan, where his district stretches from Union Square through Central Park and includes major...

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has once again raised eyebrows by publicly questioning President Trump’s latest show of military force, this time over a Venezuelan drug vessel blown to pieces in the Caribbean. The Gateway Pundit reported in August that Trump ‘secretly’ signed a directive ordering the Pentagon to start using military force against certain Latin American drug cartels. The order provides an official basis for the possibility of direct military operations at sea and on foreign soil against cartels. This means that US troops could find themselves in countries like Mexico battling the Sinaloa Cartel, for example. As TGP readers...

Bodycam footage has emerged showing the moment a Florida woman made a near-fatal mistake by taking a knife to a gunfight with a police officer. As WJHG reported on Tuesday, the Port St. Joe Police Department released bodycam footage showing the moment a woman was shot multiple times after charging a police officer with a 16-inch fillet knife. WMBB notes that the bodycam shows not only footage of the shooting but also events that led up to the August 15 incident. For example, the woman was involved in several hit-and-run incidents. The footage also shows officers trying to disarm her...
