Slotkin's undercover-video remarks of October 29 show what her post-midterm "signature cases" would be: the White House ballroom and the Reflecting Pool. The episode then follows the playbook to Poland: Slotkin's visit to...

Under the banner of fighting “Islamophobia,” groups like MPAC are quietly gaining direct access to local police departments and municipal power. By embedding hand-pick members of mosques into law enforcement, they are effectively rewriting threat priorities and silencing critics from the inside. During an August 2026 webinar hosted by the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC)’s Center for Security, Technology, and Policy (CSTP), speakers outlined a practical strategy for Muslims to enter local police forces using hand-picked members from their own mosques. The webinar was presented as an effort to train mosque security against alleged “Islamophobia” perpetuated by the “right-wing” and...

The New York Times came in for online mockery Tuesday after a list it published of Jewish voters saying they would back Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed for Senate included the unfortunate moniker “Jack Mehoff.”The Times initially reported Sept. 17 on the letter, which it said was signed by “more than 500 people who identify as Jewish leaders or voters” in the Mitten State and insisted that El-Sayed is “clearly the better choice for Jews.” *** Records reviewed by The Post lists someone named Jack Mehoff as living on campus at Michigan State University in East Lansing. The university did not...

Donald Trump: Agreed with Benjamin Netanyahu to stop US funding to Israel at the end of 2026 | The Jerusalem Post. Trump: US will stop funding to Israel after end of 2026, will 'help Israel if they need it'. The president went on to praise Israel as a particularly reliable American ally, contrasting its conduct with that of other US partners. By Idan Kweller. November 3, 2026. On the morning of the US midterm elections, US President Donald Trump made a startling claim in an interview with Fox & Friends: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu himself initiated a plan to end...

President Trump announced Tuesday that he had reached an agreement with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stop US aid to Israel after the end of the year. “They don’t need it,” Trump said on Fox & Friends Tuesday morning. “We give them more than anybody else, and they no longer need it. We’ve been doing it for years. I’ve been doing it, but Israel is a very thriving country. They don’t need it. If they did need it, I would say keep it going.” The president said the idea came from Netanyahu himself, suggesting that the agreement was also...

U.S. and Israel have discussed phasing out grants, but president’s comments suggest it could occur much faster than expected WASHINGTON—President Trump said Tuesday that the U.S. would cut off military aid to Israel by the end of the year, suggesting the phaseout of grants to the U.S. ally could occur much faster than expected.“We won’t be paying anymore to Israel,” Trump said during an interview with Fox News on Election Day. “We’ve already agreed that by the end of this year, we won’t be paying Israel.”The phasing out of direct U.S. military aid to Israel has been under discussion for...

The New York Times recently highlighted an alleged list of more than 1,000 Michigan voters, described as primarily Jewish Americans, who have endorsed Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed (D) for the U.S. Senate over Republican Mike Rogers. The document, which is still available online, presents those participating as a show of support from Jewish “leaders” and community members. A closer look at the names, however, raises instant questions about the list’s credibility. One in particular would make Bart Simpson proud. Jack Mehoff. No, seriously. That name is on the list. What, was Hugh Jass not available? Conservative political commentator and online media...

End Wokeness @EndWokeness: This is the early voting line in Dearborn, MI. Like it or not, demographics are destiny.

Former RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel called FOX 2 anchor Roop Raj just before he went on air, and ended up joining his discussion with journalist Sam Robinson about the Haley Stevens endorsement of Mike Rogers in the race for Michigan's Senate seat. And welcome back to our election night preview. Of course, we are just a couple days away, but the whole country is watching so closely what's happening here in Michigan. And we are actually joined by Sam Robinson, who's a great journalist who've been covering a lot of this race. And also on the phone now, we have...

Former RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel highlighted a controversial campaign strategy used by Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed, noting that his campaign is airing advertisements featuring conservative commentator Tucker Carlson in the final stretch before the election. Appearing as a guest on 'BBC News America' 11/2/26 with host Sumi Somaskanda, McDaniel explained that the tactic is an attempt to chip away at the Republican base by utilizing talking heads popular with conservative voters. Key Facts About the Strategy: • The Ad's Content: The official campaign ad features clips of Tucker Carlson stating he "wouldn’t vote for Mike Rogers at gunpoint"....

You knew Morning Joe would rip Democrat Haley Stevens for endorsing Republican Mike Rogers in the Michigan Senate race. But the show took it to another, vile level today with an ugly insinuation. Mika Brzezinski: “I think also [people] see something corrupt in this dramatic turnaround. It’s not hard to make an assumption.”If it's not hard, Mika, have the guts to spell it out—instead of hiding behind your murmured insinuation. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed has been accused of supporting the Muslim Brotherhood. The Midwesterner wrote that El-Sayed advocated for Sharia law and was heavily affiliated with groups that provided support to Hamas. The apple does not fall far from the tree because his own mother supported terrorist organizations. Three times, El-Sayed has avoided questions about labeling the Brotherhood a terrorist group. He instead mocked his questioner and repeated a painfully generic “this is about democracy” answer. “I’m not going to stoop to that level,” El-Sayed said when asked if he would designate the Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. .......

The crazed student who attacked a Jewish influencer during a debate at the University of Michigan has been identified in online posts as a Mongolian-American activist, who raved about having just been released from a mental hospital, according to her victim. Temulun Togochog, a student at the university, is known for advocating for the rights of ethnic Mongolians living under Chinese rule in Inner Mongolia, according to watchdog group StopAntisemitism. “She said she had been in a mental institution before and she would be happy to go back if it meant she got to kill me,” Jewish activist Lizzie Benichou...

There are nearly 2,500 registrants listed as at least 110 years old on Michigan’s voter rolls, a Help America Vote Act (HAVA) complaint from the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) alleges. The complaint, filed late last month, accuses Michigan officials of keeping 2,461 registrants on the state’s voter rolls despite their birth years being listed as at least 110 years old — 47 of which have birth years in the 1800s. One such registrant’s birth year is listed as 1823, 14 years before Michigan became a state. PILF lawyers said they warned about the registrant in 2019, but the registrant...

Abdul El-Sayed argues that boys should be allowed in girls’ locker rooms "because they are going to find out about it on the internet anyway." According to him, it's not our job as parents to protect our kids - in fact we're hindering them if we do. Instead, we need to let our kids have access to EVERYTHING... and then have a conversation about what they saw and heard. Pure evil. Vote RED like your child depends on it.

Abdul El-Sayed is having a terrible home stretch in the Michigan Senate race, digging himself deeper on a daily basis. And for whatever reason, he just can't seem to put the shovel down. First, he refused to condemn a blatantly antisemitic ad supporting his campaign. That was too much for Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.), his former primary opponent, who had endorsed him after their race. Stevens flipped and endorsed his Republican opponent, former Rep. Mike Rogers. In the final days of the campaign, El-Sayed's candidacy is tearing the Democrat Party apart, and now he is stuck playing defense on antisemitism...

At first glance, the 2026 election looks like any other midterm. The incumbent party is exhausted. The opposition is eager to rebuke an unpopular president. Economic concerns predominate. An electoral thumping seems inevitable. Check results from 2022, 2018, 2014, 2010 and 2006 for reference. Under the surface, however, an ugly force is stirring in U.S. politics that makes this midterm campaign different. For the first time in generations, antisemitism has emerged from the shadows to influence American public life. From Graham Platner to Abdul El-Sayed, from Hasan Piker to Tucker Carlson, antagonism toward Israel, “Zionists” and foreign intervention has morphed...

As the 2026 midterm election jamboree entered its final days, the punditocracy has been treated to a couple of cathartic and possibly clarifying shudders. As I write, Elissa Slotkin, a Democratic Senator from Michigan, is scrambling to retrieve her standing after she told an interviewer that she favored having the deep state harass people who supported Donald Trump and the MAGA agenda. She didn’t put it quite like that, of course. What she said was: “I want young people coming out of school to say, ‘Should I go work for the Trump administration?’ I want them to be like, ‘Lord,...

I Wish I Would’ve Killed You!’ El Sayed Supporter Attacks Jewish Student ...Liz Benichou was participating in a campus stop with Liberty Under Fire USA when the confrontation erupted Sunday in Ann Arbor, according to The Rothman Report. Police identified the alleged attacker as a university student; Benichou is not affiliated with the school. The dispute escalated after Benichou questioned how a woman dressed like her would be treated in Iran, the New York Post reported. Footage circulating online showed the student pushing Benichou down before officers intervened. While being placed into a police vehicle in handcuffs, the student shouted...

• Stevens defends switch: Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens told CNN her decision to back Republican Mike Rogers is “rock solid,” but refused to articulate why she changed her mind. Her surprise switch came after a deepening rift with Michigan Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed. Since her switch, El-Sayed has raised $1.2 million, his second-largest total in a single day. He’s leading Rogers by 11 points in a New York Times poll. • Swift fallout: Democrats have condemned Stevens’ move, including Rep. Debbie Dingell, who expressed concern for her. Top Republicans, such as House Speaker Mike Johnson and President Donald Trump, have...
