Congressman Seth Moulton’s illegal immigrant guest during the State of the Union address is referenced in police reports involving sexual assault and juveniles, police say. The Herald submitted a public records request to the Secretary of State’s Office and the Milford Police Department regarding two reports, one from June and the other from September of 2021, where Marcelo Gomes da Silva was apparently named as the person of interest. The Herald sought the police report numbered 21-23101 dated 9/15/2021 featuring Marcelo Gomes da Silva and 21-16254 dated 6/30/21 also featuring the 19-year-old. Milford Deputy Chief John Sanchioni denied both of...

Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton possibly committed a crime when he brought an illegal immigrant to President Trump's State of the Union address on February 24, and then hid the illegal immigrant — Marcelo Gomes daSilva — in his office when daSilva's presence was made known. ICE arrested daSilva last May.But the plot now thickens. The Milford Police shared information that daSilva was reportedly mentioned in police reports involving "sexual assault and juveniles."WOW. Marcelo Gomes da Silva, the illegal alien guest that Rep. Seth Moulton (D) brought to the State of the Union address, was reportedly mentioned in police reports involving...

In the span of a few days, the public has witnessed two events that have made it abundantly clear just where Democrats stand, or rather, sit, these days. Anyone who is remotely reasonable should consider looking for another political party to join. The first came during the State of the Union when President Donald Trump invited lawmakers “to join with my administration in reaffirming a fundamental principle. If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support: The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.” Democrats sat on their...

Consistently, and even as recently as the State of the Union address, President Donald Trump has not minced words when speaking about issues that are obviously dangerous and destructive to America. How, then, is it possible that, with so many outlandish, persistent issues, ordinary folks seem to be missing the blatantly obvious? For example, why do everyday Americans listen to the twisted “logic” of the Woke mindset and not say, “What?! That doesn’t make sense?!” Think about the waywardness of woke thinking when it comes to addressing three extremely simple, straightforward ideas President Trump posited: 1. “There are two sexes.”...

Wholesale prices rose at a faster-than-expected pace in January, countering hopes that inflation was easing, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday. The Producer Price Index which excludes volatile food and energy prices, increased a seasonally adjusted 0.8%, more than the 0.6% gain in December and well ahead of the Dow Jones consensus estimate for 0.3%. On an all-items basis, the headline PPI rose 0.5%, also above the forecast for 0.3% and 0.1 percentage point more than the prior month.

James Carville, known as the "Ragin Cajun" for his raucous demeanor, claimed every member of Trump’s administration except top adviser Stephen Miller "hates" him. He delivered the remarks on the Politicon YouTube channel he shares with journalist Al Hunt. "However bad you think this is, however much you see people in your own inner circle, in your military, in your staff, in your Congress, attorney on you, it's just starting," Carville said. "You know how miserable you're going to be in November? You know, how f---ing miserable you are? Tens of millions of American people get a chance to tell...

No sooner had President Donald Trump completed his State of the Union address Tuesday night than four much-respected historians offered Newsmax some provocative analysis of the 100-minute speech*** ***” President Trump's State of the Union had elements of the usual annual address to Congress but also some surprises," said*** Luke Nichter*** Portions of it, Nichter said, "took the usual grab bag approach to listing past achievements and suggesting a few new proposals — ending sanctuary cities, the SAVE America Act, and a new 'war on fraud' to be led by Vice President [JD] Vance. Otherwise, the biggest portion was celebrating...

Democrats desperate to take the wind out of President Donald Trump's sails and torpedo his State of the Union address Tuesday with heckles, boycotts, and low-energy critiques may be upset to learn that the Americans who tuned in were overwhelmingly receptive to the speech and its contents. A CNN poll found that a near-supermajority of "speech-watchers" said that Trump's policies will move the country in the right direction. David Chalian, the network's political director, told talking head Jake Tapper, "64% say Trump's policies would move the country in the right direction, 36% say the wrong direction." "Look at the growth...

Rep. Janelle Bynum, D-Ore., called a challenge from President Donald Trump's 2026 State of the Union address "racist" when he asked listeners to stand if they agreed the U.S. should prioritize the safety of its own citizens over illegal aliens. "If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support," Trump said. "The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens." Democrats remained seated for over a minute and a half as the Republican side of the chamber burst into prolonged applause. After the address, Bynum, who is on the National...

WASHINGTON — Aliyah Rahman, a Minnesota woman whom Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., took as her guest to the State of the Union address Tuesday, needed hospital treatment after she was arrested during the speech, Rahman and Omar said. Rahman silently stood up during the part of President Donald Trump’s speech in which he called on Democrats to restore funding for the Department of Homeland Security. The people around her remained seated. When U.S. Capitol Police approached and asked Rahman to sit down, she refused. During her conversation with Capitol Police officers, the crowd around her gave a standing ovation, which...

🚨 WTF?! Democrat Rep. Seth Moulton SMUGGLED IN an illegal alien to Trump's State of the Union address, then had his Chief of Staff HARBOR the illegal in Moulton's office to SHIELD him from police Harboring an illegal is a FEDERAL FELONY ARRESTS need to be made! Or our laws are MEANINGLESS.

The Democrats showed their true colors at Tuesday evening’s State of the Union when they failed the president’s test of allegiance to this country. They are so devoted to illegal migration that they walked straight into his trap. President Trump asked every lawmaker in the chamber to stand if they believe their primary duty is to protect American citizens rather than illegal migrants. That should have be a no-brainer. It is the essence of putting America first. But the Democrats refused to stand. “One of the great things about the State of the Union is how it gives Americans the...

Democratic events protesting President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address prompted sharp pushback from conservatives on social media and from Arkansas' Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who said the events painted a sharp contrast between the two parties. Democrats held several counterprogramming events to Trump’s State of the Union speech on Tuesday, including an event called "State of the Swamp," where far-left activists, including the Portland Frog Brigade, took to the stage dressed in animal costumes. "The difference today isn’t between right vs left," Sanders posted on X in response to a video of activists dressed up in frog...

Sorry, Gav. Sorry, Gretch. Sorry, Pete. And nothing for you, Josh Shapiro. The DNC establishment selected newly elected Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger as the face of their party to make their official response to President Trump's State of the Union speech. And all anyone could conclude from it was 'what were they thinking?' [Rebuttal video at link] With her knobby nose and missing lips, she had the unfortunate appearance of a gnome, and not a cute one. She can't help that, but Breitbart notes that her gestures were off, too, which she could have practiced a little. Abigail Spanberger's response...

Virginia’s Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger was widely panned by conservatives on social media over her rebuttal to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union, with many calling out the governor for labeling herself as a "moderate" during the campaign but changing her tune. Spanberger’s speech contained several examples of supporting far-left causes that drew criticism online, including school walkouts over ICE, touting "affordability" despite pushing to raise taxes and slamming Trump. Her overall speech quickly drew heat from conservatives online over her policies and her tone. "This Spanberger speech can basically be summed up as ‘I AM A DEMOCRAT WHO...

As President Donald Trump vowed to wage a "war on fraud" during his State of the Union address Tuesday, a panel of voters across the political spectrum had mixed reactions. The panel, assembled by polling group Maslansky + Partners and comprising 29 Democrats, 30 independents and 41 Republicans, gave real-time reactions as Trump spoke. The reactions were displayed on a line graph where high values represented positive reactions and low values indicated negative reactions. Trump said corruption was "plundering America" and said the most "stunning example" was in Minnesota, where welfare fraud has been a focal point and a child...

President Trump touted his economic agenda, honored our heroes, defended his actions abroad, promised that Iran would never get nuclear weapons, and yes, found time to make Democrats look like morons. He rightly kept chastising them for not applauding or standing for issues that are universally popular, like increased public safety. He was able to get a couple, like a new law banning insider trading on the Hill. **SNIP** Sen. Liz Warren (D-MA) provided a standing ovation for that one. Trump later asked if Nancy Pelosi would’ve stood. He bodied her, but after the speech, Pelosi was blindsided by CNN,...

WASHINGTON – Democrats’ counterprogramming event to President Trump’s State of the Union address was hijacked by MAGA supporters and liberals dressed up like frogs — chirping “ribbit.” Activists and lawmakers held dueling events on Tuesday night to present their counterargument to the president. Some speakers were there to entertain, some to rally the troops ahead of the November midterm election and some charged that Trump was lying to the American people. “I’m not at the State of the Union speech tonight, because you’re not going to hear about the State of the Union. You are going to hear lie after...

“I forgot how fun this was. I could watch it for three more hours.” This observation from a young, male conservative encapsulates how middle America viewed President Donald Trump’s historic State of the Union speech. Trump delivered what they were looking for, from plans for the economy, celebrations of Olympic wins, spotlights on forgotten Americans, and, not least of all, sharp contrasts between his policies and those of the Democratic Party. Trump did it all in spades, and with a lot of unintentional help from the Democrats, who did everything from heckling him to holding a bizarre resistance event that...

Below is the full transcript of Spanberger's prepared remarks: ___ Good evening and welcome to historic Williamsburg. We are gathered here in the chambers of the House of Burgesses. In 1705, the people of the Virginia colony gathered here to take on the extraordinary task of governing themselves. Before there was a Declaration of Independence, a Constitution, or a Bill of Rights — there were people in this very room. The people who served here ultimately dreamed of what a new nation — unlike anything the world had ever seen — could be. The United States was founded on the...
