Iowa Democrat Candidate Apologized for Being ‘White, Cis-Gender’ Woman in 2020 Campaign

A Democrat congressional candidate in Iowa apologized on a previous campaign website for being white and said she “benefited greatly from privilege.”

In 2020, now congressional nominee Lindsay James had a section on her campaign site called “A Confession” in which she addressed her skin color and so-called “privilege,” the Daily Caller reported Wednesday. “I am a white, cis-gender, able bodied, middle class, college educated woman,” the archived site for her Iowa state legislature campaign read.

James’s “confession” continued:

There is no doubt that I have worked hard to get where I am in my life, but I have also benefited greatly from privilege. My personal journey of self-examination as it relates to my own privilege has not been perfect, but I am committed to doing the hard work of honest self-reflection, considering critical feedback when given, and working every day to better myself and use my privilege to advocate for others.

–Rep. Lindsay James (she/her)

James’ website also claimed there was discrimination against LGBTQ people in health care, education, housing, and employment.

The Iowa Capital Dispatch reported Tuesday that “James will face Republican former state Rep. Joe Mitchell in the general election for Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District,” noting that the district “includes Cedar Rapids, Waterloo, Dubuque and Mason City. It has been represented by a Republican since 2021, and is currently held by U.S. Rep. Ashley Hinson, who is not seeking another term to run for the U.S. Senate.”

US Attorney Observes Los Angeles Election Center as Feds Launch Multiple Voter Fraud Investigations

Multiple election fraud investigations in California are currently underway with the FBI and the US Attorney’s Office in Los Angeles, as ballot counting for Tuesday’s primary election continues. 

First Assistant US Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli said his office is conducting a “comprehensive audit of California’s voter rolls” with the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division on Friday. His office also has “multiple election fraud investigations underway” in coordination with the FBI.

This comes after Trump sounded the alarm on Thursday, telling reporters in the Oval Office, “You see what’s happening in California. They’re rigging the election.”

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Republican California gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton also sounded the alarm on Thursday evening, telling Fox’s Laura Ingraham that, according to USPS whistleblowers, California is indiscriminately counting mail-in ballots without verifying the date they were sent. “It’s insane. This election system that they’ve created here is just another monument to their uselessness, another version of high-speed rail,” Hilton said as roughly 4 million ballots remain uncounted in his race.

On Thursday, Democrat Xavier Becerra, former Health and Human Services Secretary for Biden, advanced in the governor’s primary race 48 hours after the polls closed on Thursday evening. Still, Hilton is in first place, leading Democrat Tom Steyer by seven points with 59.7% of expected votes in as of 3:18 pm ET, and his fate remains uncertain with California’s lawless election system.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has been projected to advance to the November runoff in the mayor’s race, where she will face either Spencer Pratt or Nithya Raman. Pratt, after taking an early lead over Democratic Councilwoman Nithya Raman and trailing incumbent Democrat Mayor Karen Bass by a slim margin, is still in second place. Pratt is leading Raman by six points with 64.3% of expected votes counted as of 3:18 pm ET.

“The most recent mail-in ballots that were processed are favoring Democrats, as many analysts suggested they would. Inside the ballot processing center here in LA County, any ballot that was postmarked by Election Day, Tuesday, must be counted by law,” Fox’s Matt Finn reports from outside LA County’s ballot processing center.

“The process takes so long, in part because each ballot must have its signature verified, and if there’s an issue, there’s a 10-day period to have it cured,” he continued, noting that it’s “very likely” counting will continue into next week.

Socialist Mayor Responds After Seattle Residents Use Steel Planters to Block Streets from Criminals

Desperate Seattle residents putting up steel flower planters as barriers to block off their streets to quell runaway crime have finally drawn the attention of the city’s socialist mayor.

Mayor Katie Wilson said this week that Seattle is “acting now” on shootings and drug and human trafficking-related crime after being pressed by a local news anchor on why citizens had to take matters into their own hands before City Hall did anything.

The location at issue is the neighborhood hit by reoccurring violence tied to Aurora Avenue on the city’s north side.

Fox 13 co-anchor Hana Kim told the mayor:

We’re hearing from residents saying there are constant shootings there, bullets going through homes, human trafficking is up, prostitution is up. Desperate residents put up steel planters to block some of the crime. They say it was working, but then the city took it away and said that they need to have a permanent solution, so they want to study it. But at what point do you act?

“So we are acting now,” Wilson responded. “A number of members of my team… were up doing a walk with the neighborhood a few days ago, and I totally understand why people put the barriers in the streets.”

Residents along the corridor spent Memorial Day weekend constructing the barriers out of metal planters, concrete blocks, and other items to block streets “after weeks of shootings, high-speed chases, and crime concerns tied to prostitution, trafficking, and alleged turf wars,” Fox News reported.

One resident, Peter Orr, told KTVB 7, “It’s either this, or bullets in my neighbor’s houses.” The Mayor was mocked online for her residents taking such drastic action to ensure their own safety.

Conservative commentator Paul Szypula wrote on X, “When progressive policies result in neighborhoods literally barricading themselves off… that says everything.”

Far-Left Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson Can’t Even Stick to Her Own Woke Boycott

Leftists love a good boycott until, of course, it interferes with something they enjoy.

Last year, far-left Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson virtue-signaled her anti-capitalism “pro-labor” views to her base and urged them to boycott coffee giant Starbucks.

In November, while speaking at a Starbucks Workers United rally outside the recently closed Reserve Roastery on Capitol Hill, Wilson said, “That is why I am proud to join them on their picket line and proud to say loud and clear, I am not buying Starbucks and you should not either.”

In a recent interview, however, Wilson admitted she can’t even stay committed to her own performative woke directives.

During an interview published on Wednesday with FOX 13, Seattle co-anchor Hana Kim asked Wilson if she still supports the boycott.

“I had the pleasure of visiting the Pike Place Market Starbucks a little while ago, and I ordered, I think it was a blueberry muffin latte that was like a staff creation.”

“I guess I broke my boycott,” Wilson continued.

“And yeah, but I, you know, I don’t know. What do you want me to say about that?”

Wilson’s decision to prioritize wokeness over the economic interests of her community’s people has had real-world consequences.

Wilson, however, has laughed at the notion that millionaires are leaving the city over new and higher taxes supported by her and her cohorts, saying ‘Bye!’ as she shrugged it off glibly.

Democrat Candidates Hate on Trump with Ease but Struggle to Talk Policy

Democrat candidates across the country have been speaking out against President Donald Trump with ease but appear to struggle to answer basic policy questions on the campaign trail.

Democrat lawmakers and candidates alike have hurled insults at President Trump’s administration and the commander-in-chief himself. Referring to Trump as a dictator, Nazi, fascist, Hitler, evil person, murderer, and more is simply par for the course. However, when it comes to their own positions and policies some Democrats appear to struggle.

In New Jersey, Democrat congressional candidate Rebecca Bennett was asked if “people should stop trying to kill the President” given the numerous assassination attempts in recent years — the latest incident unfolding at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

She could not even answer that simple question, remaining silent while a staffer waved a sign in the questioner’s face.

Meanwhile, over in New Hampshire, congressional Democrat Stefany Shaheen refused to condemn scandal-plagued Graham Platner.

Pride Month Propaganda Pushed Hard in Children’s Programming: Disney World, Cocomelon, Peppa Pig, Sesame Street, and Teletubbies Target Toddlers with LGBT Agenda

As “Pride Month 2026” kicks off, major children’s entertainment brands are once again flooding social media and theme parks with rainbow messaging aimed squarely at preschoolers and toddlers.

The deliberate indoctrination of the youngest kids who can’t even tie their shoes yet has been going on every June (and in some cases, year-round) for years.

Disney is rolling out the rainbows across its Florida parks for the entire month.

At EPCOT, the rainbow mural is back outside Connections Cafe. Hollywood Studios features a Mickey Balloon Pride photo op with 11 different Pride-flag balloons. Magic Kingdom has the Mickey Pride mural and a Pride Slushy at Astrofizz. Merchandise and special drinks are everywhere, Breitbart News reports.

The ultra-popular YouTube kids’ channel Cocomelon, watched by millions of babies and toddlers, posted celebrating Pride on Instagram.

Massachusetts Public School District Permits Sikh Students to Carry Knives While Banning Weapons for All Other Students

Hopkinton Public Schools in Massachusetts has a policy that carves out a specific religious exception to its strict no-weapons rule, allowing initiated Sikh students to carry a ceremonial knife known as a kirpan on school grounds, while prohibiting knives, guns, replicas, and other weapons for every other student.

The policy, formally created in 2024, makes Hopkinton the first school district in the state to explicitly accommodate the kirpan for Sikh students.

These policies have received new scrutiny following the sentencing of Vickrum Digwa, a 23-year-old Sikh man convicted of murdering 18-year-old British university student Henry Nowak in Southampton, England, on December 3.

Digwa stabbed Nowak five times with an 8-inch dagger he carried in addition to a kirpan.

Under the district’s general weapons policy, possession of any “dangerous weapon” is banned on school premises, at school-sponsored events, or on school transport. This includes guns, knives, pocket knives, slingshots, brass knuckles, explosives, ammunition, and even replicas or toys that resemble weapons.

Violations can lead to suspension, expulsion, police referral, and possible exclusion by the School Committee.

However, the policy includes a dedicated section titled “Considerations for Recognized Religious Artifacts Resembling Weapons.”

It directs that sacred religious articles must be approved annually before the start of each school year or before the student begins carrying the item. The district evaluates exceptions based on school safety and reserves the right to suspend permission during specific events.

The Truth About Graham Platner’s Senate Candidacy – He Was Not Inspired to Run for Office, He Was RECRUITED by a Wealthy DSA Couple Who Have Done This Before

If you believe Democrats and the media, you probably think that Graham Platner of Maine is a genuine, blue-collar, oyster fisherman who decided to run for U.S. Senate and has run a grassroots campaign.

That is not the truth. His entire candidacy is based on a lie.

Graham Platner was recruited to run for office by a young, wealthy couple who are members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), and this is what they do. They have recruited and groomed candidates in the past in the same exact way.

When they first approached Graham Platner, he didn’t even want to do it. They had to convince him.

The New York Post reports:

Meet the champagne socialist duo who groomed rich kid Graham Platner into a ‘working-class’ candidate

Graham Platner has done a better job of hiding his privileged roots than the Nazi tattoo on his chest — a move which is by design.

The embattled Maine candidate for US Senate is vocal about his disabled-war-veteran, rugged-oyster-farmer, “working-class” persona — and less so about his attendance at an $80,000-a-year boarding school, his lawyer father, or his major architect grandfather.

That’s because he’s been coached on how to present himself, molded to present a specific image — and, in a sense, manufactured.

The truth is he was discovered and coached by a pair of Ivy League-educated radical Democratic socialists, replicating a playbook they’ve used in Nebraska and Iowa. That revelation could be more damaging than the tattoo, sexting women other than his wife, blasting fellow veterans and admitting to masturbating in a port-a-potty, as it strikes at the heart of Platner’s alleged authenticity…

That under-the-radar team are a couple, Yale Law School grad Daniel Moraff and his fiancée, Leanne Fan, an academic with stints at Harvard and the proudly radical University of California-Berkeley.

The pair had originally met while working for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in 2020 and are hardcore members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). They have previously been behind candidates Dan Osborn, running for Senate in Nebraska, and Rep. Summer Lee (D-Pa.), a member of the Keystone State congressional delegation since 2023 and part of the DSA “Squad,” alongside Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.).

Platner actually admitted this to Jon Stewart during an interview in April.

From TAG 24:

“Last summer, end of July, some people came to my house,” Platner told Stewart while discussing his decision to run for office. “They had been in Maine for a few months… looking for someone to run for US Senate against Susan Collins.”

“They were looking specifically for, like, a kind of working class person on, kind of, working class economic policies,” he continued…

“Yep! And then they looked me up, and they saw that I donated to Bernie Sanders, and they were like ‘Oh!’” Platner continued. “They literally came to my house and said, ‘We think you should run.’”

AND THERE IT IS: NBC News Casually Admits Mail-in Ballots Always Put Democrats Ahead as Far Left Candidate Gains on Spencer Pratt in LA

Here we go again.

If you have been following the race for mayor of Los Angeles, you have probably noticed that Spencer Pratt’s lead is slowly being eroded and Nithya Raman, the far left Democratic Socialist (communist) candidate keeps gaining.

The explanation for this is very simple. It’s fraud. Raman is benefiting from the state’s system of mail-in ballots, which SOMEHOW always benefits the left. Isn’t it fascinating how ballots that are tabulated after the election always benefit just one side?

NBC News recently admitted this on the air, without a hint of irony.

REPORTER: Why would those votes, we don’t know what they’re gonna be, but why would the mail-in votes, the later votes, break for Raman, possibly?

STEVE KORNACKI: Because that is the pattern in California with this system. We’ve seen this now probably for about a decade out there. It’s those votes that get tabulated after election day, they tend to be almost always or heavily, heavily Democratic. We’ve seen this in congressional races in California now over the last decade or so where on election night, we’ve had cases where, a number of them where the Republican candidate is ahead on election night and then it’s a process over days, sometimes even weeks in these key congressional races where just with every one of the updates like the one you just saw right here in LA, the Democrats get closer and closer and closer.

7 Republicans vote no on FISA extension

Seven Republican senators sided with Democrats early Friday to vote against advancing an extension of warrantless spy powers set to expire next week, complicating efforts to keep those powers alive.

The procedural vote failed by a vote of 47-52 after Sens. Josh Hawley (Mo.), Sen. John Kennedy (La.), Mike Lee (Utah), Rand Paul (Ky.), Eric Schmitt (Mo.), Rick Scott (Fla.) and Tommy Tuberville (Ala.) broke with their GOP colleagues.

Some of the pushback was attributed to President Trump’s tapping of Federal Housing Finance Agency chief Bill Pulte to serve as acting director of national intelligence, which received backlash from both sides of the aisle.

Lee brushed off speculation that anger over Pulte’s appointment was the motivator behind the defectors who voted with Democrats, instead pointing to privacy concerns.

“FISA 702 reauthorization failed because it did not contain a warrant requirement for spying on Americans,” the Utah Republican wrote on the social platform X. “The people who spied on the Trump campaign, Members of Congress, and countless other Americans hate the idea.”

He added, “Come back with warrant requirement, and we’ll pass the bill.”

The motion to proceed would have paved the way for enhanced federal surveillance authorities under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) before it lapses June 12.

Trump’s decision to name Pulte to replace outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard triggered fights on Capitol Hill.

Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Democrats could not support extending surveillance authorities with Pulte in a position to access sensitive intelligence information that could be used against Trump’s political foes.

“I thought I had gotten to the stage where I could no longer be shocked by Donald Trump’s choices, but this may be the most outrageous of all,” he told MS NOW, speaking of the recent appointment.

Every Senate Democrat except Sen. John Fetterman (Pa.) voted against the motion, as they argued Pulte could not be trusted to oversee the nation’s intelligence apparatus, among other reasons.
