RIGHT ON CUE: Elissa Slotkin Tries to PLAY THE VICTIM After Threatening Young People Thinking of Working for Trump

A few days ago, Democrat Senator Elissa Slotkin of Michigan detailed how she wants to go after Trump’s inner circle in an effort to intimidate young people who may be thinking of going to work for the Trump administration.

Trump responded today, calling out Slotkin and her entire party for this.

Slotkin then ran straight to CNN to paint herself as the victim in all of this, and of course, Jake Tapper was happy to oblige her.

Transcript via Curtis Houck:

“I mean, first of all, it’s not — it’s not a veiled threat, right? I mean, threatening the Second Amendment is threatening for someone to get shot. And I think there’s been plenty of people, Democrat, and Republican, independents, who would say, like, can we just not threaten violence against each other for our words? He’s certainly precipitated a whole wave of threats against myself. But my staff, including doxing my staff, and this is part of a sort of strategy of intimidation that these people use.

And, you know, this is someone who Donald Trump thought of as a potential attorney general and then luckily thought better of it. But I just think that this is kind of part and parcel of this toxic culture of threatening violence because you disagree with someone. The President threatened to have me, you know — investigated, arrested, and hanged for sedition, and followed through with the investigation, and near-arrest part.

And this guy’s just threatening violence. And it is — again, I imagine what kids think about when they’re just scrolling Twitter — my nieces and nephews — and they see someone threaten violence because of words. It’s just — it shows you how toxic these people have become online.”

‘60 Minutes’ Trashes Trump’s Battle For Election Integrity: ‘Using His Power to Intimidate People Who Run Our Elections’

CBS News 60 Minutes host Lesley Stahl introduced a segment on election integrity Sunday evening by condemning President Donald Trump’s attempt to ensure non-citizens do not vote in the nation’s elections.

“The midterms are just two weeks away, and President Trump is using his power to intimidate the people who run our elections, putting the voting system under remarkable stress,” Stahl said, citing the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) recent lawsuit against the state of California after determining that its voter list reveals more than 20,000 likely aliens are registered to vote in the state.

“[I]t’s the latest in a sequence of actions that has bred an erosion of faith in the integrity of our elections,” Stahl asserted. “Our story focuses on how state and local election officials are being pressured in a way that is stoking that distrust.”

Stahl started her story with video of FBI agents in Fulton, Georgia removing ballots – a scene that was portrayed in the segment as an alarming invasion by federal law enforcement, even though the official she interviewed admitted that “they had a valid warrant, signed by a judge.”

Watch the Nauseated Look on Sen. Murphy’s Face When Angie Nixon Calls for GOP Opponent to Be Jailed

A top Democrat was left in nauseated shock after the crazy Democratic Florida Senate candidate for whom he’s been stumping let the cat right out of the bag.

Sen. Chris Murphy, the deputy secretary of the Senate Democratic Caucus, appeared on CNN last Wednesday alongside Florida state Rep. Angie Nixon, who’s running for incumbent Republican Sen. Ashley Moody’s seat.

Just to be clear, Nixon is a full-fledged totalitarian nutter, and she demonstrated as much right in front of Murphy’s shocked eyes and ears by admitting that she wants her opponent in the race to be “locked up.”

“They are spreading, like, a lot of disinformation and lies on commercials about me, of saying things like I want to abolish prisons and I want to defund the police,” Nixon began, talking about Moody’s election campaign.

“Why would I want to do that when I want her locked up and punished in jail for what she has done?” she added without a shred of hesitation or awareness.

By the look on her face, it was clear CNN host Kasie Hunt was completely shocked by Nixon’s remarks. Murphy meanwhile tried but failed to contain his growing nausea as Nixon continued ranting and raving about Moody.

Epstein-Linked Billionaire Reid Hoffman Drops $500K on Kentucky Democrat Zach Dembo

LinkedIn co-founder and Democrat megadonor Reid Hoffman, the same billionaire who visited Jeffrey Epstein’s private island, stayed at his Manhattan townhouse, and once sent the convicted pedophile ice cream “for the girls,” just poured $500,000 into a super PAC backing Kentucky Democrat Zach Dembo.

The cash went to Kentuckians Not Corruption on September 24, according to WEKU’s October 16 investigation into Federal Election Commission records.

The group is running heavy television ads supporting Dembo and attacking his Republican opponent, former state Sen. Ralph Alvarado, in Kentucky’s 6th Congressional District.

Advertising records show the PAC’s weekly TV buys on Lexington’s WLEX-TV exploded after the money arrived, jumping from roughly $14,650 in mid-September to nearly $110,000 the week of October 6. By mid-October the group had already spent about $1.6 million on the race.

“This is really, it’s dirty Epstein class money fueling Zach Dembo’s campaign. It’s offensive,” Alvaro told Fox News.

He added that Hoffman “was one of his best friends,” citing the island visits, townhouse stays, and the infamous Christmas Eve ice cream shipment with the note that it was “either for yourself or for the girls.”

DOJ Takes Emergency Action Against California in Fight to Stop State from Counting 20,000 Ballots Given to Non-Citizens

The Justice Department on Monday asked the Court for an emergency restraining order against California, requiring the state to immediately set aside the 20,000 ballots sent to non-citizens.

On Friday, the DOJ put California on notice and vowed to prosecute election officials who tabulate unlawful ballots.

“California on Notice: Federal agencies identified over 20,000 suspected noncitizens registered to vote in California who have already been mailed ballots,” First Assistant US Attorney Bill Essayli said on Friday.

“Under 18 U.S.C. §§ 611 and 2, officials who knowingly tabulate unlawful ballots risk aiding and abetting a federal offense. The Justice Department urges the County and the Secretary of State to temporarily segregate the flagged ballots pending citizenship verification or face legal consequences,” Bill Essayli said.

On Monday, the DOJ requested a restraining order to immediately separate the 20,000 ballots.

“Once illegally cast ballots are counted and commingled with lawful votes, the resulting harm may be impossible to remedy. The urgency is heightened because of the fundamental right to vote and to have one’s lawful vote counted without dilution,” the DOJ said in its request for a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO), according to Fox News.

Former Socialist Congressional Candidate Arrested For Threatening People Who Don’t Vote For Angie Nixon: “I’m Going to Cut Your F*cking Head Off”

Elijah Manley, the former Socialist-Democrat candidate in Florida, was arrested for threatening to behead people if they don’t vote for Democrat Senate candidate Angie Nixon.

Recall that Elijah Manley, an anti-ICE activist, previously lashed out at his opponent Democrat Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz for running in a majority black district.

“I think, for sure, it was a bad move by the congresswoman to run in this district. It was selfish and all about her, her career, and not about the community. She failed to do any meaningful dialogue with the community before announcing her run, and it comes off as a hostile takeover of the district,” said Elijah Manley, a 27-year-old Black Democrat and progressive organizer running against her in the primary.

Over the summer, Elijah Manley threatened to behead people if they don’t vote for Communist Florida Senate Candidate Angie Nixon.

“Every democrat needs to get behind the democratic nominee for Senate. Anybody not doing that, I promise you I’m going to cut your f*cking head off,” Elijah Manley wrote on Facebook.

“Any of you that don’t support Angie Nixon. I promise you I will make your life a living hell to the very end,” he said.

Elijah Manley turned himself in to Broward County authorities this weekend.

Democrat Adam Hamilton Getting Rich from His Megachurch

Democrat megachurch pastor, Adam Hamilton, has spent his campaign for Senate in Kansas railing against billionaires and special interests, but his financial disclosure shows he has a net worth of up to $20 million and earns a salary more than twice the salary paid to U.S. senators from Church of the Resurrection.

Hamilton’s own campaign website says, “we need to get their influence out of politics,” but he earns $394,239.00 from the church he started with his wife. The median household income in Kansas is $75,514.00.

Not only does Hamilton draw a hefty salary from the megachurch, but he also owns a vacation home in the resort town of Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri, which is worth nearly $1 million in addition to a primary residence reportedly valued at $1.4 million in Stilwell.

In addition to Hamilton’s salary and real estate portfolio, he also earned publishing royalties totaling $417,372.70 from United Methodist Publishing House, the disclosure stated.

In late September, Hamilton’s history of controversial sermons, the church’s activities, and his involvement with national Democrats came into focus as polls showed a tight race in the state.

The Church of the Resurrection under his leadership partnered with Kansas City PrideFest to sponsor a “Drag Queen Story Time & Gay Pride Festival.” Images identified the church as a 2025 PrideFest sponsor alongside an image advertising PrideFest’s “Youth & Teen Tents,” which promoted stage acts, free books, story time, arts and crafts projects, and other activities, according to previous reporting by Breitbart News.

Hamilton also donated to Kamala Harris’s 2024 presidential campaign and served on an Obama-era council that recommended expanding eligibility for commutations and pardons.

President Donald Trump will host a rally on Monday boosting Republican Sen. Roger Marshall in an area near Wichita. An Insider Advantage survey published on Oct. 15 gave Marshall a one-point lead over Hamilton, with 48 percent of the state’s vote vs. 47 percent for Hamilton.

OUTRAGEOUS! Socialist Lula Threatens Flávio Bolsonaro with Investigations During LIVE Presidential Debate — Warns Conservative Rival He Will Lose His Immunity After October 25 Election

Brazilian socialist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva sparked fresh controversy Sunday night after delivering what appeared to be an extraordinary warning to his conservative challenger, Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, during a nationally televised presidential debate.

With Brazil’s crucial October 25 presidential runoff just days away, Lula warned Bolsonaro that he would lose his parliamentary immunity and face a wave of investigations if he loses the election.

The explosive exchange occurred Sunday, October 18, during a debate hosted by Brazilian television network Band, where the two candidates traded accusations over corruption, government accountability, and their families’ political controversies.

Lula told Bolsonaro, according to a translation of his remarks:

“Get ready, because on the 25th you’re going to lose your immunity, and you’re going to have problems, because there are a lot of investigations in your life that will now move forward.”

The socialist president went even further, suggesting that investigations had been prevented from advancing by Bolsonaro’s political allies.

“If your friends aren’t allowing them to move forward, now they will.”

The remarks were reported by Brazilian news outlet Portal VV8, which published Lula’s original Portuguese statements from the debate.

‘It just keeps getting better’: Americans roast Abdul El-Sayed for his research on ‘risks’ of interracial mating

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, the Democrat candidate for U.S. Senate in Michigan who has never had a medical practice, is being roasted online now that his own research is unearthed, claiming “risks” for Arab mothers engaged in “interethnic mating.”

El-Sayed the primary author in the 2011 paper titled “Interethnic mating and risk for preterm birth among Arab-American mothers: Evidence from the Arab-American Birth Outcomes Study.”

It examined the negative result of “preterm birth” when people of differing races and ethnicities procreate.

His research focused on Arab mothers having children with non-Arab fathers.

The research alleged: “Genetic factors have been the primary explanation posited for the association between interracial mating (black father, white mother) and risk of adverse birth outcomes. This explanation has built on the well-recognized observation that black race is associated with increased risk for PTB after adjusting for potential medical, psychosocial, and behavioral confounders.”

The study said “interethnic mating was associated with higher risk for PTB and late PTB among Arab-Americans, a growing ethnic group” while indicating “studies about the birth outcomes of Hispanic interethnic couples are needed.”

National Republican Senatorial Committee Communications Director Joanna Rodriguez told the Post Millennial regarding El-Sayed’s research: “It’s ironic that a radical Muslim with documented ties to designated terrorist organizations is scared of interracial mating. Does Abdul El-Sayed stand by his racist fearmongering?”

“No wonder he was so nasty to Usha Vance,” said Will Chamberlain, senior counsel at the Article III Project. “The very concept of brown women marrying white men infuriates him.”

Washington Outspends the World on Healthcare: $2.5 Trillion in Taxpayer Money

With the Nov. 3 midterm elections less than three weeks away, healthcare has become a central Democratic campaign issue. An Associated Press analysis of AdImpact data found that healthcare was the most common issue in Democratic House and Senate ads since Sept. 1.

Democrats have made four claims: that Washington spends more on war than on healthcare, that most Americans lack health insurance, that Trump’s Medicaid changes take coverage away from poor Americans, and that socialized medicine provides better care. All four claims are false, as the spending figures, insurance coverage data, Medicaid provisions and international comparisons below demonstrate.

U.S. national health spending reached $5.3 trillion in 2024, or $15,474 per person, according to CMS data. That spending was equal to 18.0 percent of GDP. The federal government paid for 31 percent of total health spending, and state and local governments paid for 16 percent. Combined, government at all levels paid roughly $2.5 trillion.

That figure is nearly double the entire health budget of China, the world’s second-largest economy. According to China’s National Health Commission, China’s total health spending in 2024 was an estimated 9.09 trillion yuan, about $1.27 trillion in public and private spending combined, with the government paying 24.9 percent. Per person, the OECD’s health division head told the Senate Special Committee on Aging that U.S. government health spending per capita was greater than in all other OECD countries.

That spending funds coverage for more than a third of Americans. The Census Bureau found that 92.0 percent of Americans, 310 million people, had health insurance in 2024. Employer coverage was the most common type at 53.8 percent, followed by Medicare at 19.1 percent and Medicaid at 17.6 percent. Overall, 66.1 percent of Americans had private coverage and 35.5 percent had public coverage. Government coverage is concentrated among low-income Americans. Public coverage rates fall as income rises: Census figures show 77.0 percent of children and 50.7 percent of adults in poverty had public coverage, compared with 6.7 percent and 5.7 percent of those at or above 400 percent of the poverty line.

Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act into law on July 4, 2025, and Democrats have since described its Medicaid provisions as taking healthcare away from vulnerable Americans. In a May 2025 press release, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries called the bill “the largest healthcare cut in our country’s history” and said millions would lose Medicaid coverage. A statement from Jeffries and House Democratic leaders said the law takes healthcare and food assistance from millions of people to fund tax cuts for the wealthy. Rep. Bobby Scott, ranking member of the House Education and Workforce Committee, said Republicans would strip healthcare from the Americans most in need.

The law does not kick poor people off Medicaid, and it does not raise the income eligibility threshold, which remains 138 percent of the federal poverty line. It simply requires able-bodied adults to work, study or volunteer 80 hours a month.
