New Jersey Governor-Elect Mikie Sherill Threatens to Withhold Federal Taxes to Resist Trump

The incoming governor of New Jersey is threatening to withhold federal taxes from the Trump administration.

In an interview with comedian Jon Stewart, Mikie Sherill said she had thought about witholding tax dollars “all the time” and concluded that is “great idea.”

“If they’re not gonna run the programs, then what are we paying them for?” she said.

“It’s like, you know, you’re paying us for a service and they’re not delivering. So let’s stop paying for it.”

California Governor Gavin Newsom has also floated withholding tax dollars, but this turned out to be an empty threat.

“We’re assessing it, we have looked into it, and Finance is looking across the spectrum of options,” he said in an interview with Politico back in June.

“But it’s limited, because most of that distribution and transfer comes from individual taxpayers,” he continued.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett MELTS DOWN, Claims Republicans Are “Defunding the Police”

Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett used her opening statement this week to deliver one of the most exaggerated, unfounded speeches Congress has heard in years. 

Rather than focus on public safety, government accountability, or the crises facing American families, she launched into a rehearsed tirade accusing President Trump of running an “autocracy.” 

It was political theater—packed with conspiracy, missing context, and completely detached from the reality of Trump’s presidency.

Crockett claimed that since January, President Trump has used “the full power of the federal government to attack Americans.” 

But so far during Trump’s presidency, violent crime has fallen, immigration enforcement was restored after years of neglect, and agencies long criticized for politicization were finally forced to operate under clear, lawful boundaries. 

Crockett ignored these facts because they undermine the narrative her party relies on: that accountability equals authoritarianism when Republicans are in charge.

Her next allegation—that Americans face “militaristic operations” in their homes and “reckless, illegal acts by rogue agents”—has no basis in any federal action under President Trump. 

What the record shows is that Trump reestablished stable enforcement protocols, reversed dangerous sanctuary-city policies, and reinstated cooperation between federal and local agencies. 

Meanwhile, the same Democrats yelling “autocracy” supported no-bail policies and police defunding efforts that caused homicide rates in major blue cities to surge.

Crockett also resurrected the long-debunked claim tying Trump to Jeffrey Epstein. 

She ignored the fact that Trump banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago, cooperated with prosecutors, and appeared nowhere in the criminal evidence. 

Clinton, on the other hand, flew on Epstein’s jet more than two dozen times. Crockett selectively referenced “Epstein files,” implying that Trump is hiding them, even though his administration supported their release and none contain evidence of wrongdoing by him. 

It was an attempt to manufacture guilt where none exists.

Her attacks then shifted to internal government processes—routine contracting decisions, old allegations unrelated to Trump, and administrative disputes she framed as “organized crime.” 

These claims collapsed under basic scrutiny.

State Department Sounds Alarm: Mass Migration Is an “Existential Threat To Western Civilization”

The surge of nationalism across the West is a direct response against unhinged globalist leaders whose suicidal empathy opened the doors to nation-killing mass migration invasion of poorly vetted third-worlders.

Tens of millions have invaded through open borders, and the results have been devastating: violent crime, strained public services, rising terror threats and attacks, the collapse of social order, and erosion of national security. 

Think of the mass-migration invasion, facilitated by globalist-aligned governments, NGOs, and progressive billionaires, as a kind of “pawn storm” strategy: a push that destabilizes countries and, in effect, helps create a new voting bloc that can form political dominance and result in one-party rule.

Chicago Mayor Claims Crime Fell “Because of Him” as Texas National Guard Prepares to Leave

Chicago’s crime crisis did not disappear overnight, but you wouldn’t know that from listening to Chicago’s Democrat mayor.

This week, Mayor Brandon Johnson stood at a press conference and claimed that crime fell “because of him,” while attacking the Texas National Guard and President Trump for “wasting taxpayer dollars.”

The performance would have been comical if the stakes were not so serious.

Just hours before the event, at 11:00 p.m., an unknown individual attempted to start a fire outside City Hall.

Security footage shows the suspect lighting the exterior of the building before fleeing.

A CPD officer put out the flames before they spread. Instead of focusing on the conditions that allow attempted arson outside the city’s central government building, the mayor pivoted to politics.

He called the National Guard withdrawal an “unconditional surrender by the Trump administration,” as if the presence of Texas troops—not Chicago’s own governance—were the reason the city remains unsafe.

According to the mayor, Guard troops “sat idle for six weeks doing nothing,” a claim that conveniently ignores why Texas deployed them in the first place: to support overwhelmed border states and help cities impacted by the migrant influx created by Democrat sanctuary policies.

Chicago asked for migrants, boasted about being a sanctuary city, and then attacked Texas when the consequences arrived.

The mayor also complained that these deployments cost “hundreds of millions of dollars,” even though his own administration spends billions on bureaucracy and programs that have failed to reduce violence.

He criticized federal spending on Argentina while ignoring the billions Chicago spends without improving basic services.

Meanwhile, the attempted arson outside City Hall demonstrates exactly why a heightened security presence has been necessary.

He then targeted CPB official Greg Bovino, whom he claimed “left a trail of tears” and “undermined” the city’s work, even though federal officers arrived in September, and yet the mayor took credit for crime reductions from the summer months.

His argument was so weak that he joked Trump must think “September counts as a summer month.”

What he did not explain is how a city with increasing violence, collapsing public schools, and overflowing migrant shelters can possibly credit its problems to Texas or Trump.

The mayor framed the withdrawal as a victory against “unconstitutional federal overreach” and claimed Trump is waging a “war on poor and working people.”

But under Democrat leadership, Chicago remains one of the most dangerous cities in America, with residents fleeing, businesses closing, and families begging for basic safety.

Israel Receives 1,000th Aircraft Carrying US Military Supplies Since October 7, 2023

The Israeli Ministry of Defense (IMOD) announced on Wednesday that it has received the 1,000th aircraft as part of an airlift operation delivering US military equipment to Israel that began following the October 7, 2023, attack on southern Israel and the start of Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza.

“To date, over 120,000 tons of military equipment, munitions, weapons systems, and protective gear have been transferred to Israel via 1,000 aircraft and approximately 150 maritime vessels,” the IMOD said in a press release. The ministry said it and the IDF have been “conducting a cross-continental logistics airlift operation on a scale unprecedented since the establishment of the state.”

The IDOF said that its missions in the US and Berlin have been involved in the operation, suggesting the flights could include German-supplied military equipment. Germany is the second-largest arms supplier to Israel after the US, and recently announced it was lifting a partial suspension of arms exports to Israel.

Through the airlift operation, Israel has received “advanced munitions, weapons, armored vehicles, medical equipment, communications systems, and personal protective equipment.” The equipment has not only supported Israel’s destruction of Gaza but also its war in Lebanon, its invasion of southwestern Syria, its war with Iran, airstrikes on Yemen, and military operations in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

On Thursday, the IDOF announced that it signed a “multi-billion dollar” contract with the Israeli firm Rafael to procure more Iron Dome defense systems in a deal funded by US military aid. “The $8.7 billion US aid package, approved by Congress in April 2024, includes a dedicated $5.2 billion allocation to enhance Israel’s air defense systems, including Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and the high-powered Laser Defense System, which is currently in its final phase of development,” the IMOD said.

Brooklyn Serial Spitter Targeting White Women Released Day After Arrest

A 45-year-old Brooklyn man, Anthony Caines, was arrested on November 13 for allegedly spitting in the faces of multiple white women in a series of racially motivated attacks in Williamsburg and Greenpoint.

Despite facing multiple charges, including aggravated harassment based on race or religion, Caines was released the following day under supervised release with an ankle monitor after pleading not guilty.

The incidents occurred over two days, November 11 and 12.

According to a report from the New York Post, Caines targeted four white women in separate attacks without provocation.

One victim was spat on outside 285 Broadway at 10:05 a.m. on November 11, another at Bedford Avenue and Grand Street less than two hours later, a third at Marcy Avenue and South Fourth Street at 10:40 p.m., and a fourth outside 186 Grand Street at 8 a.m. the next morning.

Victims described feeling violated and stunned by the unprovoked assaults.

“I just felt so violated,” one of Caines’ alleged victims, a college student, told the New York Post. “In my face, of all places. It was crazy, honestly.”

“I was completely caught off guard,” she added. “It was in the morning, and I was half-asleep. He came up, spit on me, and kept going, and I thought, ‘What just happened to me? Am I supposed to be okay with this and go about the rest of my day?’”

Caines, who has a prior record including arrests for domestic violence and contempt of court, was identified through security camera footage.

The charges are classified as misdemeanors, with the top charge being Aggravated Harassment in the Second Degree. If there had been a felony, he might have been held.

Turning Point leader pleads guilty to attempted election fraud

Former Republican state legislator Austin Smith pleaded guilty Monday to what he previously called “ludicrous” charges that he personally forged more than 100 signatures on his petitions for reelection last year. 

The Republican from Surprise was a member of the far-right Arizona Freedom Caucus, which has a history of spreading false claims of election fraud in the 2020 presidential election and pushed for election law changes in the state legislature. 

“As a part of his guilty plea today, Smith admitted signing the name of a deceased woman on one of his candidate nomination petitions in March of 2024,” Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes said in a statement. “He also admitted that he attempted to deceive the Secretary of State’s Office by knowingly filing petitions containing forged signatures of purported supporters of his nomination for the Republican primary for State Representative from LD 29.”

Smith pleaded guilty to one count of attempted fraudulent schemes and practices, an undesignated offense, and to one count of illegal signing of an election petition, a misdemeanor.

Jen Psaki and Katie Couric Complain That Media Covering the Trump White House is Too Right Wing 

Katie Couric and former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki recently complained to each other that the media covering the Trump White House is too right wing. They seem to think that partisan actors in the press are going too easy on the Trump administration.

These people really do live in an alternate reality.

Jen Psaki served in a White House with a mental invalid and never fielded a tough question from the press. Psaki was still serving at the White House as a spokeswoman while she was negotiating a deal for a job at MSNBC and was never even asked about it.

Transcript by NewsBusters:

JEN PSAKI: And what they’ve done is they have really, and I read the press briefing a lot because we do a little thing on our show about it sometimes, more and more of the questions in there are by sycophants, or by people who are not asking about news that the American people cares about, but they’re asking about, I mean, literally a question has started more than once, why is Trump in such good shape, right?

Or they are, you know, putting out conspiracy theories. There are people who, and they are getting a lot of the questions. There are some of the people who are in the press pools. This means that reporters who are there to cover MBS being at the White House or to cover Zelensky being at the White House or to ask these questions that Mary Bruce fortunately asked yesterday, there are fewer of them. And that is, you don’t know that and see that unless you’ve lived there, but that’s a huge, huge problem because it’s becoming more of a Kremlin-esque press corps.

KATIE COURIC: Right. And they’ve invited a lot of reporters from very right-wing media outlets—

PSAKI: Yeah.

COURIC: —and you’re right, they usually say, I forget there was one example, like, “Did you ever believe that you would be the peacemaker?” I mean, just, so, and is it, I believe Marjorie Taylor Greene’s boyfriend.

Islamist groups in Texas rake in $13M in taxpayer-funded grants amid Abbott’s battle against Sharia law

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) has taken aggressive action this week against Sharia law, the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Yet critics are demanding to know why, during his time in office, millions in taxpayer-funded grants have been allocated to alleged Islamist organizations based in Texas.

Abbott announced on Tuesday that he had designated the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR as foreign terrorist and transnational criminal organizations. The following day, Abbott urged local district attorneys to investigate potential Sharia “courts” operating in Texas and defying state and federal laws to push Islamic codes.

Despite Abbott’s recent actions, some have faulted the governor for allowing taxpayer dollars to be used to fund the uptick in Islamic mosques in Texas, citing a June report from the Middle East Forum. The article claimed Texas gave “over $13 million of federal and state monies to mosques and community groups aligned with Islamist movements such as Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Jamaat-e-Islami, as well as hostile foreign regimes.”

Of the 18 organizations that received funds, a dozen were said to have “extremist links.”

Is Global Technocracy Inevitable Or Dangerously Delusional?

The bewildering truth behind human technological enslavement is that it is impossible without the voluntary participation of the intended slaves. People must welcome technocracy into their lives in order for it to succeed. The populace has to believe, blindly, that they cannot live without it, or that authoritarianism by algorithmic consensus is “inevitable.”

For example, the average person living in a first world economy voluntarily carries a cell phone everywhere they go at all times without fail. To be without it, in their minds, is to be naked, at risk, unprepared and disconnected from civilization. I grew up in the 1980s and we did just fine without having a phone on our hip every moment of the day. Even now, I refuse to carry one.

Why? First, as most people should be aware of by now (the Edward Snowden revelations left no doubt), a cell phone is a perfect technocratic device. It has multilayered tracking, using GPS, WiFi routers, and cell tower triangulation to track your every step. Not only that, but it can be used to record your daily patterns, your habits, who your friends are, where you were on any given day many months or years ago.

Then there’s the backdoor functions hidden in app software that allows governments and corporations to to access your cell’s microphone and camera, even when you think the device is shut off. The private details of your life could be recorded and collated. In a world where privacy is being declared “dead” by boasting technocrats, why help them out by carrying something that listens to everything you say and chronicles everything you do?
