‘A long history of scandal’: Soros DA Larry Krasner referred by judge for criminal investigation

Billionaire influencer George Soros long has funded the political campaigns of leftist prosecutors, and in turn they’ve used their offices to pursue an agenda of leniency for criminals.

Now one is facing trouble for doing just that.

A report at the Federalist explains that Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner and a top deputy, Matthew Stielger, have been referred for criminal investigation by a federal judge.

He’s suspected of “false statements, false declarations made under oath, perjury, obstruction of justice, and conspiracy.”

Explained the report, “It’s familiar stuff. Krasner, a spectacularly woke prosecutor who won the office with lavish backing from George Soros, has a long history of scandal and crisis, and has been accused of misleading courts in several high-profile cases.”

The report said the present problem “involves an effort by a convicted murderer, Dennis Johnson, to be freed from prison, turning to the federal courts with a repeated request for a writ of habeas corpus after state courts denied his several petitions for release.”

When the court asked Krasner’s office to respond to Johnson’s petitions, “Without investigation, Krasner’s office conceded Johnson’s questionable claims about the supposedly flawed murder conviction, telling the court that prosecutors ‘did not oppose the granting of relief,’ according to the memorandum.”

Ilhan Omar Snaps on Reporter Over Immigration Fraud Investigation, Denies She’s Under Investigation – Says Tom Homan Has Been “Saying Dumb Sh*t Like You”

Somali Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) on Wednesday responded to the Trump Administration saying they’ve launched a criminal investigation into her by laughing and calling the comments by Border Czar Tom Homan “dumb sh*t.”

LindellTV’s Allison Steinberg confronted Omar in the House office building, asking, “Tom Homan said that you’re under criminal investigation for immigration marriage fraud. Any comment on that?”

But Omar brazenly laughed about the criminal activity and said, “No, I don’t have a comment for that.”

“What a ridiculous thing to ask,” she added when asked if she married her brother. “Did you marry your brother?” she continued, calling the allegation “disgusting.”

Asked, “why are you being criminally investigated?” Omar said, “I am not,” and called Tom Homan a liar.

“He is. He’s been saying some dumb sh*t, like you,” Omar told Steinberg.

This comes after Homeland Security Secretary Mullin on Friday confirmed that Ilhan Omar “married her brother to try to bring him into the United States,” and there is an “ongoing investigation”

“Something’s going to happen,” Mullin said, adding, “If we can prove that you shouldn’t have been here in the first place, we’ll deport you.”

Comer demands release of Ilhan Omar immigration evidence so Congress can weigh expulsion

The chairman of the House Oversight Committee is vowing to pursue a contempt vote against financier Leon Black for refusing testimony in the Jeffrey Epstein probe and calling on the Trump administration to release any evidence showing whether Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar broke immigration laws and should be expelled from Congress.

Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., made the comments Monday night after Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin and White House border czar Tom Homan indicated such evidence involving Omar exists and is under investigation.

“I think they should make it public. Absolutely, make it public,” Comer said during an interview on the Just the News, No Noise television show. “The evidence that I’ve seen would show that they would be privy to a lot more evidence than I would have. Most of the evidence I have is public already, anyway. So I think it should be made public, and I think the members of Congress should be the judge and the jury in this.

“Let us vote as to whether or not she needs to remain in Congress. If you violated the laws to become a citizen, should that make you ineligible to be a member of Congress? I think so. But put it up for a vote in Congress and let the American people see how their member of Congress would vote on that.”

Mullin revealed Thursday there is evidence that Omar, D-Minn., “married her brother” as part of an alleged immigration scheme and there is an “ongoing” investigation.

“We know that she married her brother to try to bring him to the United States,” Mullin told conservative podcaster Benny Johnson, adding that Omar’s ex-husband lives in London. 

Mullin explained that lying about certain things on an immigration application can result in deportation, and there’s no expiration for that. 

The investigation may turn up “illegal activity,” which could result in Omar being deported, Mullin suggested. He cautioned that the case is still being investigated and insisted it’s not politically motivated. 

Omar became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2000, when she was 17 years old, and she has vehemently denied marrying her brother. 

Homan confirmed Sunday federal officials are looking into the allegations as part of an “ongoing criminal investigation.”

“I know things are going on, but I can’t give specifics of what’s happening,” he said.

‘Shady’: Watch Dem activist admitting to ’roundabout way of paying people for their votes’

In a stunning development that does nothing to support the Democrats’ wild claims that election fraud is so rare as to be nonexistent, an official with a political action committee linked to Democrat socialist Texas Senate candidate James Talarico has admitted to “essentially” paying people for votes.

“It’s a roundabout way of paying people for their votes, essentially,” explained Sky McAdams, an “organizing manager” for Texas Majority PAC, on an undercover video.

The video, obtained by Townhall Media, explains the program offers voters $25 to attend a one-hour “class.”

“We are paying people $25 … a roundabout way of paying people for their votes,” explains McAdams.

It’s part of a scheme to elect Talarico to the U.S. Senate.

In the video, McAdams says it’s called a “paid relational program,” which is operated by Relentless that uses software called Rally. In a campaign finance report filed in July, Texas Majority PAC said it paid Relentless $500,000 for a “relational organizing program,” or about 20 percent of all its expenditures up to that point. At $25 per vote, that could be good for 20,000 ballots.

Homeland Security Arrests Nigerian Non-Citizen for Voting in 2024 Presidential Election and 2022 Midterms

She checked the citizenship box. Massachusetts let her on the rolls. Then she voted… twice.

Homeland Security Investigations arrested a 56-year-old Nigerian national in Lynn, Massachusetts, and the Justice Department has charged her with unlawfully voting as an alien after she allegedly cast ballots in the 2022 midterms and the 2024 presidential election, Fox News congressional correspondent Bill Melugin reported Wednesday, citing DOJ.

Gladys Adaeze Okafor is expected to make her first appearance in federal court in Boston later today.

According to the Justice Department account relayed by Melugin, Okafor is a lawful permanent resident. She holds a green card. She has not applied for U.S. citizenship.

Under federal law, that means she is not allowed to vote in federal elections, period.  Prosecutors say that did not stop her.

In July 2022, she registered to vote in Lynn and falsely attested that she was a U.S. citizen. She then voted in that year’s midterms. In 2023, she submitted a second voter registration form and again swore she was a citizen. She then allegedly voted in the 2024 presidential election.

DOJ says she admitted the 2024 vote in a recorded interview with an HSI agent last week.

The Fantasy House of Mark Carney

anadian Prime Minister Mark Carney now believes he is more than just the Western foil to Donald Trump and his MAGA movement—he is the global one. Accordingly, he seems determined to demonstrate to the world how to stand up to Donald Trump, to force Trump to lose the midterms, and to hurt the U.S. economy to such a degree that Trump will never again bully other nations.

So, at the eleventh hour, Carney stormed out of an apparently completed tariff deal with the United States that would have privileged Canada over almost all of America’s other trading partners. Canada, we recall, has enjoyed a $50 billion goods trade surplus with the United States for years in a supposedly free and equitable North American trade zone.

Carney claimed that American proposals stripped away Canadian sovereignty and quashed Canadian culture, particularly French-Canadian culture. Yet he has not released the documents detailing the bilateral offers he rejected. Nor has he allowed his representatives to explain to the media why Canada blew up the negotiations at the last minute. Carney’s ever-changing excuses, explanations, and invectives about what happened are incoherent and contradictory.

That said, analysts on both sides of the border now concede that American digital-media companies do not customarily pay special taxes, as Carney demands, to promote local, regional, and ethnic culture while operating in Canada—any more than Canadian companies would be taxed for those purposes in the United States.

Canada and the United States both agree that China dumps cheap steel and aluminum into Canada, allowing Canadian manufacturers to use that cost advantage to export assembled vehicles to the vast U.S. market at prices below those of American vehicles. In that way, Canada’s new partnership with China circumvents America’s tariffs on Beijing. China will also send nearly 50,000 electric cars and trucks into Canada under a meager tariff, ensuring that the Canadian EV market is increasingly dominated by Chinese vehicles.

But Carney’s ploy goes beyond helping the communist Chinese dictatorship gain trade leverage over his own NATO neighbor. He has eagerly concluded a comprehensive Chinese-Canadian pact involving travel, visas, food safety, energy, and public security. Carney has grandly described these new agreements with Beijing as part of a new paradigm in which “middle powers” like Canada play China against the United States (Canada’s annual nominal GDP is roughly the size of New York State’s).

How ironic that Carney attacks his neighbor, the United States, for trade unfairness while warming to the communist dictatorship in China. Communist China, after all, is history’s greatest violator of trade protocols—guilty of manipulating its currency, dumping products to secure market share, violating copyright and patent laws, and imprisoning a million Uyghurs.

Covert Pentagon propagandists are tracking anti-war Americans, skirting the law

In mid-August, a conservative activist using the digital moniker “Datarepublican” quietly admitted she was employed by the Pentagon as a “special government employee.” For months, she’d been pocketing a government paycheck while intensely lobbying for President Trump’s imperialist misadventures online and tracking their most vocal critics in a digital database.

Datarepublican was identified in 2025 as Jennica Pounds, a Utah-based mother with nearly a million followers whose stated raison d’etre is “fighting communists” – a moniker she applies liberally to anyone perceptibly to the left of Barry Goldwater.

And she’s not alone. Pounds has emerged as the face of a new wave of right-wing influencers who are being covertly employed by the US Department of War to spread pro-government propaganda. On August 29th, Washington Post reporters revealed at least three more digital activists are surreptitiously working for the Pentagon, which designates them as either special government employees (SGEs) or as what the US military calls “highly qualified experts” (HQEs).

Named in the Pentagon’s army of influencers were retired Air Force colonel Rob Maness, and retired Army colonels Kurt Schlichter and Thomas Anderson. Like Pounds, Anderson also operated in relative anonymity until recently, posting under the Twitter handle “Cynical Publius.” Schlicter, for his part, is a prolific right-wing troll who has frequently fantasized about the ethnic cleansing and extermination of Palestinians.

The operation appears to be in breach of two federal laws, the Hatch Act and the Smith-Mundt Act, which prohibit government employees from engaging in political activities while on the clock, and forbid them from directing their propaganda efforts at the US population, respectively.

The aforementioned right-wing activists are the only ones known to have been working secretly for the Department of War. But the revelations about paid Pentagon propaganda posters come as the US military pursues a flurry of murky partnerships with prominent conservative influencers like top TPUSA widow Erika Kirk, who was appointed to the Air Force Academy Board of Visitors by Trump in March in an effort to further slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s “legacy.”

Then there’s Laura Loomer, the obsessively anti-Muslim Trump ally, who is producing de facto press releases for self-proclaimed “Secretary of War” Pete Hegseth, enjoying Pentagon press credentials, and earning references as an “informal advisor to the Department of War.”

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson Says Illegal Immigrants Are an ‘Essential Part of Who We Are’

Chicago’s far left Mayor Brandon Johnson is taking a page out of Zohran Mamdani’s playbook and claiming that ilegal immigrants play in essential role in America.

Newsflash for the mayor. No. They don’t.

Johnson was making his comments in response to the Trump administration’s move to block illegal immigrants from receiving any kind of welfare.

This is something that Democrats simply can’t or won’t understand. Johnson also obscured the difference between legal and illegal immigrants, a tactic often employed by liberals on this issue.

Breitbart News reports:

Chicago’s radical Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson joined New York’s socialist mayor to sue the Trump administration to protect legal and illegal migrants and their access to U.S. welfare programs, because, in his words, illegals are an “essential part of who we are.”

Johnson joined New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani in a lawsuit against President Donald Trump’s administration for shutting down welfare-dependent immigration to the United States through the “public charge” rule.

The Trump administration has resurrected the “public charge” rule, which makes legal immigrants less likely to secure green cards if they have used any form of welfare in the past, including subsidized healthcare services, food stamps, or public housing. But Democrats oppose the rule and claim that migrants who are not productive citizens have every right to be subsidized by the U.S. taxpayer through welfare programs…

In his message to the city, Johnson insisted that reinstating the rule “sweeps aside more than a century of settled law, as well as decades of federal guidance establishing clear limits on how public charge determinations can be made.” Johnson further alleges that the Trump administration’s rule “dramatically and unlawfully expands the government’s authority to consider an immigrant’s use of public benefits, allowing the federal government to consider virtually any means-tested or income-based public benefits while inviting officers to make decisions that are inconsistent and discriminatory.”

Johnson has just announced that he is going to seek a second term and ironically, this very issue could be a major stumbling block for him.

Black Chicagoans have been very critical of Johnson’s devotion to illegal immigrants while ignoring the needs of Americans living in the city.

AIPAC’s Network Has Already Spent $67.2 Million to Shape the Midterm Elections

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC, has been spending tens of millions of dollars on political races during the current election cycle, aiming to defeat progressive candidates who are critical of Israel and who express support for Palestinians. Many voters might not even be aware of this, because AIPAC-funded ads and mailers often omit any mention of Israel, even though fostering U.S. support for Israel and electing pro-Israel candidates are among the group’s driving aims.

AIPAC’s lobbying and electoral network has so far spent $67.2 million during the current election cycle, up from $29.3 million during the 2021-2022 cycle. These huge amounts of spending have been dedicated to trying to defeat candidates like Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, Aisha Wahab in California, Melat Kiros in Colorado, and many others.

AIPAC has a range of affiliated and aligned Super PACs and other entities. Some of the most significant ones are AIPAC PAC, the group’s political action committee, which raises money to contribute directly to candidates; United Democracy Project, AIPAC’s super PAC, which raises and spends much more money on elections independently; and Democratic Majority for Israel (DMFI) PAC, which is aligned with AIPAC and specifically focuses on Democratic races.

While there are many donors to AIPAC’s electoral influence operation, a small handful of billionaire megadonors — Wall Street tycoons, entertainment moguls, oil and gas barons, sports franchise owners, and others — provide a hugely disproportionate amount of the donations to the key AIPAC and AIPAC-aligned super PACs to intervene in primary and general elections.

AIPAC’s massive electoral spending comes at a time when support for Israel is plummeting in the U.S., especially among Democrats, amid the genocide in Gaza, intensifying settler attacks in the West Bank, and decades of illegal occupation.

CAUGHT ON TAPE: Talarico’s Own Church Minister Says His Sudden “Moderation” Is A Con – “Once He Gets Elected, He’ll Change His Tune Back to Where He Was”

An undercover video obtained by The Daily Wire has blown a hole in Texas Democrat James Talarico’s latest campaign makeover.

Rev. Babs Miller, the “Minister to the Parish” at Talarico’s longtime Austin congregation, St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, was recorded telling an undercover journalist that the Senate candidate’s new talking points on transgender ideology are political theater, and that the old Talarico will be back the minute the votes are counted.

“I can guarantee you that once he gets elected, he’ll change his tune back to where he was,” Miller said.

That is not a Republican talking point. That is Talarico’s own minister.

Miller did not stop there. When the journalist noted that Republicans were hammering Talarico over his infamous “God is non-binary” line, she answered, “Duh.” She then complained that Talarico is “getting some advice that I don’t think he should be following.”

“That’s what his campaign has convinced him of,” Miller said. “The Democratic Party is backing off on their stances on trans and all of this, and so his staff is encouraging him to kind of do the same thing, just for the next 50 weeks, whatever days.”

Then the tell: “I think it’s bad advice personally, but if it helps him win, okay…”
