Today's theme: Useful idiots of the World Unite!

The comment came as Flanagan, now the first Native American woman elected to the Senate, claimed victory in the open seat left by retiring Democrat Tina Smith. During her speech, Flanagan said Minnesotans had rejected what she called President Donald Trump’s “masked goons shooting our neighbors and terrorizing our communities.” Flanagan continued, “We will rip ICE apart. That’s right. And we have the opportunity to replace it with an immigration system that is grounded in public safety for everybody, dignity and due process.” WATCH: Senator-elect Peggy Flanagan: "We will rip ICE apart!" https://t.co/35jpyMBNxv — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) November 4, 2026...

On Tuesday, Democrats swept the midterm elections with shocking wins across the country, including sweeping Texas and winning US Senate seats in deep red states including South Carolina, Iowa, Ohio, Kansas, Mississippi (likely), and even Texas. At The Gateway Pundit, we have postponed our public announcements on the reasons for this historic midterm bloodbath. We are still looking at Tuesday's numbers and starting to see more shocking coincidences. These released results require 'a willing suspension of disbelief.' Earlier TGP reported on squishy James Talarico's weirdly impossible numbers. The pro-trans kids Texas candidate may have been missing for two weeks during...

Wall Street Apes@WallStreetApes·8hWOW 🚨 I just verified this and these election results are real. I ran the numbers through artificial intelligence:The likelihood of these election results are 0.00001%, effectively 1 in trillionsAgain, THE LIKELIHOOD OF THE MIDTERM RESULTS NOT BEING FRAUD IS “1 IN TRILLIONS”Nov 5, 2026

When the 120th Congress convenes in January 2027, Big Business could find itself in the crosshairs. Second only to administration officials, the Trump family itself and political operatives, corporate America may sit near the top of Democrats’ ambitious oversight agenda.Signs point to an exceptionally tough two years for business leaders, whom many on the left believe cowered under pressure from the president.And the implications for corporate America are consequential. Companies that cultivated cozy White House relationships, financed presidential initiatives, secured lucrative government contracts, or benefited from lax enforcement could soon find themselves in the hot seat during contentious congressional hearings.(snip)But...

Immediately, the naysayers would say prophecy has nothing to do with politics. Nothing could be further from the truth. Here are three very simple truths: We have never been closer to the Second Coming of Christ than we are today. By close, I mean a short amount of time. The American public has never been so far from eschatological (Second Coming) truth as it is at this moment. Politics and prophecy are connected at the hip. Whatever the politicians do is going to lead to what prophecy says is going to happen. It is not likelihood; it is impossible to...

"The ballots are counted. The maps are drawn. Democrats will control the House and the Senate when the new Congress gavels in. That is the premise the country just handed Republicans, and the Senate still has a few weeks of majority power left. John Thune and the usual clutch of RINOs are treating that window like an inconvenience instead of the last clean shot they will get for years."

Indiana carried out its first execution of the year early Thursday after lawyers for the condemned man failed in their bid to stop it, despite new details emerging about the state’s secretive process of obtaining lethal injection drugs. Jeffrey Weisheit, 50, was put to death at Indiana State Prison shortly after midnight for the 2010 murders of two young children in a house fire, state officials said. He had no last words and was pronounced dead 45 minutes later. The state does not generally allow media witnesses to attend, and Weisheit’s legal team could not immediately be reached for comment...

Dow is down over 1,200 points right now…l guess they got the news one day late….or maybe as someone said yesterday, just more noise…..lol

Democrats are now poised to take control of Congress by wide margins — and a critical driver of their success has been voter fury about how the war in Iran has driven up the cost of fuel. Before the war, about one fifth of the world's oil passed through the Strait of Hormuz. As the war throttled that waterway, the price of oil rose: A barrel of Brent crude cost about $70 in late February, spent months hovering around the $110 mark, and is now close to $95. That's driven up the price of everything that's refined from crude. A...

Longtime Donald Trump ally, childhood friend from New York Military Academy, and prominent Florida attorney Peter Ticktin sat down with The Gateway Pundit to deliver a stark warning about what Americans can expect the moment radical Democrats seize control of the House and Senate on January 3, 2027. Ticktin, who just scored a major courtroom victory last week when a Florida federal judge tossed former Dominion executive Eric Coomer’s defamation lawsuit against Patrick Byrne, outlined three scenarios for the just-concluded 2026 midterms and laid out what he says is the Democrats’ real plan if they take both chambers by a...

It is amazing how accurate the pre-election national polling proved to be. From ChatGPT, although not completely final yet, it showed nationally, the democrats got 55% of the vote compared to 43.6% for Republicans. That is a real landslide using the rule of thumb saying 10% margin is a landslide.Pre-election polling the day prior showed a projection of democratic lead of 8-9%. That is within the usual 3% margin of error, so the national polling was pretty darn accurate--the only error was that they UNDERESTIMATED the democrat vote, not the Republican! So remember that the next time everyone, and I...

Independent candidate Ty Pinkins says his campaign has influenced the Mississippi Senate race by drawing votes from Republican counties. Democrat Scott Colom is challenging incumbent Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in a race that could result in the biggest Senate upset of the midterms if the seat flips. Mississippi U.S. Senate race hangs on thousands of ballots Scott Colom widens his lead over Cindy Hyde-Smith in Mississippi Senate race "I'm from the Mississippi Delta, that's the poorest area in our country, so for me having a Democrat, specifically Scott Colom, benefits the area that I grew up in," Pinkins said. Speaking...

War Secretary Pete Hegseth may face an impeachment vote before the next Congress is seated, as some Republicans, led by Rep. Thomas Massie, are planning to vote on an impeachment resolution after a stunning midterm loss that is widely attributed to the Iran war. Massie previously introduced articles of impeachment against Hegseth back in September. CNN is reporting that some GOPers are expecting the latest impeachment resolution to pass in the House as Republican lawmakers turn on Hegseth. Trump has defended Hegseth, telling reporters on Tuesday that he is not considering firing him. "No, I think he's doing a very...

A glitzy Vogue cover featuring former President Barack Obama, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff and Michigan Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed has caused an uproar online. The only problem? It's not real. Self-proclaimed comedian Brian Marquis posted the fake magazine cover, which was seemingly made with AI, to Instagram on Tuesday. It went viral almost immediately, as thousands of people across the globe believed that the faux photo shoot was legit. The phony cover showed Mamdani standing in a pair of jeans, a black V-neck sweater and a long brown coat. Obama posed next to him in...

So I guess the first thing the liberals will do in impeach Trump right? Next since the have both House and Senate they'll pass legislation/bills to open up shell companies to funnel funds to themselves too? El-Sayed sure is acting like a muslim fool on stage bragging on how JD will HAVE to swear him in. The whole Ilhan Omar investigation will probably get axed too. What else?

Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse for Los Angeles, they elected a dues-paying Democratic Socialist (Communist) mayor. Socialist candidate Nithya Raman ousted Karen Bass and won the Los Angeles mayoral race. Los Angeles Councilwoman Nithya Raman increased her lead over Karen Bass earlier Wednesday. Raman opened up a two-point lead over incumbent Bass after a Wednesday morning drop. "Raman had 377,458 votes to Bass’ 360,864, the Associated Press reported, a margin of 16,594 votes. Bass had a narrow advantage in the early returns Tuesday evening, but that evaporated overnight," KTLA reported. The Decision Desk called it for...

Post election here at Free Republic is my favorite time of the year.

President Trump said Wednesday he is not considering replacing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth but predicted the Pentagon chief would be “very popular” if he filled Sen. Marsha Blackburn’s (R-Tenn.) seat. “No, I think he’s doing a very good job,” the president said when asked whether he is considering replacing Hegseth following the Republican Party’s poor showing during Tuesday’s midterms, where Democrats took the House, the Senate and multiple governors’ mansions. CBS News reported Wednesday that Trump has been asking advisers and allies whether Hegseth should stay in the post following the midterms. Hegseth, a former Army National Guard major, is...

A Bronze Age man buried in a monumental tomb near the Black Sea may have died from complications of a urinary tract infection (UTI) more than five millennia ago, according to a new study. Archaeologists identified a grape-size object consistent with a kidney or bladder stone in the man's burial. "He lived with a chronic urogenital infection," study lead author Natalia Berezina, an anthropologist at Lomonosov Moscow State University in Russia, told Live Science in an email. "It was not a brief episode," she said. "His last years were probably marked by considerable and more or less constant pain." Berezina...
