Democrats Have a Midterm Secret They Don’t Want Voters to See

With roughly two months left before the midterm elections, Democrats still don’t have a lock on winning back the majority, despite nearly everything in the political environment supposedly being in their favor. Between history, President Donald Trump’s approval ratings, and gas prices, polls should consistently give them a huge edge. Yet the most recent Harvard-Harris poll showed the GOP ahead by two points among likely voters on the generic congressional ballot.

The reason isn’t complicated once you look at what Democrats are actually campaigning on: nothing.

Think about it. Their entire pitch is about resisting Donald Trump. Ask what they would do with a majority, and you’ll get vague talking points about affordability (something they failed miserably at when they were in power) instead of an actual policy agenda. That’s deliberate, and it’s the same playbook Democrats ran in 2020: sound moderate enough to win the general election, then govern like radicals when you’re in power.

Jesse Watters spelled out exactly why during a heated back-and-forth with Harold Ford Jr. on The Five last week, and it was more revealing than anything Democrats have said about their own strategy. “Your party is nuts, all right,” Watters told Ford. “They don’t even put anything out because it’s so unpopular. What are they going to say? ‘We’re going to abolish ICE’? No one wants to do that, Harold.”

Ford insisted that the DSA, not the DNC, supports abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which isn’t true. “No. The DNC voted to get rid of ICE last week. I think you were on vacation,” Watters quipped.

Here is the REAL STORY About Today’s Arrest at Ohio Democrat Amy Acton at Canfield Fair Stop

As reported earlier, multiple people were injured after an armed man lunged into a tent and pushed his way through the crowd at Democrat Ohio Gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton’s campaign event at the Canfield Fair near Youngstown.

The “alleged” perpetrator has since been identified as Patrick Havas from Ohio.

Havas was charged with two counts of assault for knocking over two elderly people. He was also charged with one count of disorderly conduct.

Democrat Acton posted a statement that was completely misleading. This did not happen.

“While attending the Canfield Fair, an armed individual lunged at Dr. Acton, injuring multiple people,” Acton’s campaign said.

“Dr. Acton and Eric are grateful for the swift and decisive action of law enforcement and are praying for the recovery of those injured. This kind of violence has no place in Ohio. Dr. Acton will always stand up to the chaos, hate and vitriol that pits us against one another,” Acton’s campaign said in a statement on Sunday.

We now have learned more details about the incident, and what was initially reported was completely inaccurate!

Patrick Havas did NOT lunge at Amy Acton. He pushed his way through the crowd in the tent to get a good view up front.

Havas was carrying two guns but did not draw the weapons. He has a permit to carry weapons in the state.

Police only found the weapons after he was arrested.

The weapons were in holsters.  He never drew a weapon.

Amy Acton was never in touched or injured or threatened.

“Hurry Up And Die”: Michigan Democrat Joins Other Radicals In Scrubbing Past Social Media Statements

A certain pattern is emerging on the far left. Political figures spend years currying the favor of other extremists with outrageous commentary, proudly proclaiming their commitment to eliminating the Senate, opening the border, and other measures. Then, they delete all of the comments and declare themselves mainstream. The idea is to run in the center but govern from the far left, the so-called Spanberger strategy. The latest example is William Lawrence, who is running for Michigan’s 7th Congressional District. However, Lawrence’s prior self reveals just how radical this movement could prove.

Like many professors, pundits, and politicians on the left, Lawrence has called for sweeping changes in our constitutional system. Lawrence reportedly has demanded a “fundamental overhaul” of the Constitution while calling for the elimination of the Senate, police, prisons, and borders.

He has even denounced the nuclear family as an “isolating, individualistic, violent way of organizing society.”

Notably, he is the latest radical to show that the “Big Tent” party has little room for moderates. While establishment figures like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries seek to use this mob, radicals have made clear that they will be next. Darializa Avila Chevalier is the latest Democratic Socialist to mock the establishment’s pitch of a Big Tent party: “A big tent doesn’t pay your rent, lower your grocery bill, or take on the corporations bleeding our country dry. Democratic socialism does.”

In Lawrence’s case, he even put this feelings to music, writing a song a few years ago that calls for the death of moderate former Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, declaring, “Our generation says f**k you for everything…Hurry up and die so that we can get started.”

He has also denounced capitalism and the very concept of the nation-state.

Lawrence was previously arrested for resisting police officers while protesting a pipeline.

As discussed earlier, candidates like James Talarico in Texas have scrubbed their social media accounts or dismissed their earlier radical claims, including attacks on capitalism. Supporters view these candidates as already proving their bona fides and understanding that they are just sanitizing their records for voters who want the illusion of a moderate. Accordingly, many applaud figures such as Socialist Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, dismissing her own extremist statements just a few years ago as “Woke 1.” like some distant childhood stage.

These radical figures are learning that their views are distinctly unpopular with American voters so they are perfecting stealth socialist candidates who can run a type of Spanberger campaign while later pursuing a socialist agenda.

Lawrence’s past positions show little nuance and closely track the platform of the Democratic Socialists of America. Destroying the constitutional system, rejecting the nation-state, eliminating prisons, and other radical positions propelled these candidates through the primaries. The effort to now scrub the records shows the utter contempt that many have for average voters.

Lawrence shows the delusion of establishment figures such as Gavin Newsom that they can use a mob to gain power without being eventually devoured by it. In my book Rage and the Republic: The Unfinished Story of the American Revolution, I discuss the French Revolution and its decline into what the Framers called a mobocracy. What became known as “The Terror” was started not by the working class, but by educated lawyers, journalists, and even aristocrats as part of the Jacobin movement.

These are hardcore revolutionaries with an agenda that would destroy the world’s oldest and most successful democratic system in history. Party leaders facilitate them because they can only think about the next election, not the next generation. Lawrence is a cautionary tale that Benjamin Franklin remains correct, this is our Republic but only if we can keep it.

James Talarico Called Out During Interview for Voting Against Ending State Income Taxes, Called Bill Banning Income Tax “Government Overreach at its Worst”

Democratic Texas Senate Nominee James Talarico was called out for his 2019 vote against a bill banning income taxes in Texas during an interview with CBS Texas, where he collapsed and lied about his stances. 

CBS Texas’s Jack Fink noted that Republicans are attacking him for voting against banning the Texas state income tax as a state legislator in 2019, asking, “Why did you do that?”

When Talarico tried to claim that he voted against it because it was “already banned,” Fink fired back, reminding him, “This would have banned it permanently.”

The proposal in question, which raised the bar by requiring a two-thirds majority in both legislative chambers to impose an income tax, was passed by the Texas House and Senate and then approved by voters on the November 2019 ballot.

Talarico then scrambled, giving a word-salad answer, calling the Republicans’ push to codify the existing legislation “duplicative government overreach at its worst,” further accusing Republicans of “trying to grandstand on an issue.” According to Talarico, lowering taxes is “government overreach” now.

He went on to claim that the legislation “did nothing” and that he has “always” been against income taxes, despite voting against ending income tax. “I’m against an income tax in Texas, always have been. But I’m going to be against any lawmaker in any party who’s just trying to do a stunt on the floor instead of solving problems.”

Radical Maine Democrat Senate Nominee Wants the State to Seize Private Property from Mainers: “The State Should Be Able to Come In and Take These Places Over”

Far-left Maine U.S. Senate nominee Troy Jackson just told a crowd of mobile-home park residents that the government should be able to take private property when he doesn’t like who owns it.

At a Labor Day weekend campaign stop Saturday at Blueberry Ridge Mobile Village in Wells, Jackson said the state should step in and take over parks owned by out-of-state companies and private equity firms.

“I feel strongly that, if needed, the state should be able to come in, to take these places over,” Jackson told residents gathered in a backyard, according to the Portland Press Herald.

He added that the state should hold the sites until residents can take them over “so you don’t see these private equity (firms) coming in and making a killing on these parks.”

Video of Jackson’s remarks was circulated by RNC Research.

Ruling: Former Sen. Kyrsten Sinema Can Be Sued Under ‘Homewrecker” Law for Affair with Her Married Body Guard

A federal judge has ruled former Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) is eligible to be sued under what is commonly known as North Carolina’s “homewrecker law” for her romantic relationship with a married member of her security detail.

Sinema has admitted to the affair with Matthew Ammel in 2024, but her civil defense lawyers argued she cannot be sued in North Carolina because she has no ties to the state.

U.S. District Judge David A. Bragdon disagreed, on Friday denying the former lawmakers request to dismiss the civil complaint brought by the security guard’s ex-wife, Heather Ammel.

Matthew Ammel received nine messages from Sinema while he was at his North Carolina home, an act which the judge determined gives the state jurisdiction over the case.

“These messages, considered together, show Ms. Sinema building and furthering a romantic relationship with Mr. Ammel—invading the marriage not just while he was away on trips with her but while he was home with his family in North Carolina,” the judge wrote in his order.

The lawsuit alleged that besides the affair Sinema apparently attempted to treat Ammel’s PTSD from his army service in the Middle East with a powerful psychedelic drug.

According to a Hill report not long after the suit was filed in late 2025:

The complaint is full of bombshell claims, including that Sinema asked her security employee, Matthew Ammel, to bring MDMA on a work trip so that she could guide him through a psychedelic experience and that she messaged him about sexual positions in certain scenarios.

MDMA, also known as ecstasy or molly, is a recreational drug that enhances sensory experience. In recent years, it has been used in therapy settings, but the Food and Drug Administration last year declined to approve it as a treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder.

Hallucinogenic treatments have shown potential as a treatment for trauma and depression in recent studies. However,  treatments are typically administered in controlled clinical settings by licensed physicians and therapists.

Sinema has a master’s degree in social work and later became an attorney and law professor at Arizona State University. A former Democrat who registered as an independent in 2022, she served as a U.S. senator from 2019 until 2025.

North Carolina is one of a handful of states where people can sue for “alienation of affection,” the various news outlets reported Saturday.

The Ammels had “a good and loving marriage” with “genuine love and affection” before Sinema interfered, pursuing the husband despite knowing he was married, the wife alleged in her lawsuit.

The civil complaint can now go forward as plaintiff Heather Ammel seeks at least $75,000 in financial damages from the former lawmaker.

Maryland Gov. Cheers State Supreme Court Ruling on Redistricting Plan to Remove Sole GOP Congressional District – Rep. Andy Harris Responds

Maryland Governor Wes Moore released a video statement on Saturday, announcing that a ballot initiative to erase the state’s single Republican district was approved by the Maryland Supreme Court and vowing to use the ruling to disenfranchise state Republicans. 

Per Politico:

The Maryland Supreme Court on Thursday gave Democrats a victory in the state’s protracted redistricting battle, allowing the Legislature’s proposed amendment on redistricting that party leaders want to clear the way for a 2028 gerrymander to appear before voters in November.

If approved by voters on Election Day, the measure known as Question 3 will prevent future Democratic redraws from being subjected to strict compactness and geographic standards that undid their last attempt at an 8-0 map in 2022.

Following the ruling, Democratic Maryland Governor Wes Moore applauded the ruling, claiming it means “that the power of our democracy belongs in the hands of the people.”

Democrats Invite Women To Freeze Their Eggs So They Can Go Fight Wars

The military has announced plans to cover costs for sperm and egg freezing for service members, expanding a negligent “reproductive” effort to the detriment of military personnel and their families.

The pilot program, launching Sept. 14 under the Veteran Families Health Services Act of 2025, will run for three years and reimburse costs of sperm freezing up to $500 and egg cryopreservation up to $10,000 for service members who meet deployment or separation requirements.

The program fulfills a longtime Democrat-backed effort to disassociate military women from maternal family roles; increases dissonance in already strained military families, further divorces procreation from spousal stability, and ensures mothers can be separated from their children.

The Sexes Are Not Equal in Combat
Women have supported the armed forces in non-combat roles since the development of the Army Nurse Corps in 1901, with increased but limited access to positions until 2013. At that time, then-President Barack Obama supported a lifting of the ban by former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta. By 2016, gender specific roles in the military were effectively eliminated.

The exclusion of women from serving in combat roles has been justified. Combat poses the direct and imminent risk of injury and death, as well as placing soldiers in tactical locations that cannot adequately accommodate gender separation. Forward operating bases and outposts offer little to no separate housing or privacy barriers between the sexes. Experiential hardships can extend well beyond privacy, encompassing lack of food and sleep that disproportionately harm women.

A small-scale study of Army rangers claiming that women are less physiologically affected by rigorous training than men, does not match up with any large-scale studies of women exposed to extreme physical hardship. The study presents an insufficient apples-to-oranges comparison and should not be utilized as an argument to place excessive physical strain on women in the military.

The Biological Clock
Soon after the military opened doors to place women in hazardous duty stations, Democrat-led efforts for IVF-related services began. Building on that effort, in 2018 Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Wash., called IVF the “most effective form of assisted reproductive technology” for service members whose fertility was affected by their service. Rather than improving health and safety for women, the costly, unethical, and dangerous technology was promoted.

Ten years after so-called integration, women who entered combat in their peak fertility years are now aging out of childbearing, or at least edging closer to the end of their fertile years. The possibility of deployment has likely affected the many military women choosing to begin families after age 35, further decreasing their likelihood of conceiving naturally.

As infertility continues to disproportionately plague women in service, IVF serves as an expensive, politically driven distraction.

City Worker Using Public Works Truck Appears to Install Democrat Rep. Henry Cuellar’s Campaign Sign

Video provided to Breitbart News appears to show a City of Escobares worker installing campaign signs for Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) in Starr County with a marked Public Works truck in the foreground, raising questions about the use of municipal resources for political activity.

The footage shows a worker installing Cuellar campaign signs next to the marked city vehicle.

Neither the City of Escobares nor Cuellar’s campaign responded to Breitbart News’s request for comment by the time of publication.

Texas law prohibits municipal employees from knowingly using public funds or other city resources to distribute political advertising. The Texas Ethics Commission states that public resources include government equipment as well as employees’ paid work time. A violation of Election Code §255.003 is a Class A misdemeanor.

Texas Ethics Commission Advisory Opinion No. 550 further addresses the use of government resources for campaign activity, stating that using “government resources for an individual public servant’s private campaign purposes would be a misuse.”

The footage comes as members of Cuellar’s family have separately faced scrutiny over alleged uses of government resources and taxpayer-funded public positions.

NRCC spokesman Christian Martinez told Breitbart News, “Self-serving Henry Cuellar has never viewed government as public service. To him, public office is the Cuellar family business, government workers are campaign staff, and taxpayers are the suckers footing the bill. Corruption is not a scandal to the Cuellars. It is their business model,” Martinez said.

Cuellar’s brother, Webb County Sheriff Martin Cuellar (D), is under federal indictment alongside Assistant Chief Deputy Alejandro Gutierrez in an alleged scheme to misappropriate county resources between 2020 and 2022. Prosecutors allege Cuellar, Gutierrez, and former Assistant Chief Deputy Ricardo Rodriguez used sheriff’s office employees, equipment, and supplies to operate Disinfect Pro Master, a private disinfecting business formed in April 2020 that had no employees or supplies of its own.

Court documents say the company secured a $500,000 contract with the United Independent School District and operated almost entirely with county personnel and resources, with Cuellar, Gutierrez, and Rodriguez each receiving approximately $175,000. Federal authorities searched Cuellar’s office and the school district office in June 2023 in connection with the investigation. Rodriguez later pleaded guilty, while Cuellar and Gutierrez face up to 10 years in prison if convicted; Martin Cuellar also faces a money laundering charge carrying an additional potential 10-year sentence.

Henry Cuellar and his wife, Imelda, were indicted in May 2024 on charges alleging they accepted nearly $600,000 in bribes from an energy company controlled by the government of Azerbaijan and a bank based in Mexico City. Prosecutors alleged the payments were laundered through sham consulting contracts and that Cuellar used his position in Congress to advance the interests of the two foreign entities, including by influencing U.S. foreign policy and pressuring executive branch officials.

The indictment came more than two years after federal agents searched Cuellar’s home in Laredo, Texas in connection with an investigation involving Azerbaijan. Cuellar denied wrongdoing, saying that he and his wife were innocent and that everything he had done in Congress was intended to serve South Texas.

A separate Breitbart News report on the indictment stated that prosecutors alleged Henry and Imelda Cuellar accepted at least $598,000 from the Azerbaijan-controlled oil company and Mexican bank between December 2014 and November 2021. The indictment alleged that Imelda Cuellar performed little or no legitimate work under consulting arrangements used to funnel the payments and that Henry Cuellar agreed in return to take official actions benefiting the foreign entities, including influencing legislation and U.S. policy toward Azerbaijan and federal financial regulation affecting the Mexican bank.

The Cuellars each faced 14 counts ranging from bribery and conspiracy to money laundering and acting as an agent of a foreign principal. Cuellar maintained that he and his wife were innocent, said he had sought legal guidance before acting, and said prosecutors declined a request from his legal team to discuss their side of the case.

Cuellar’s campaign also spent a substantial share of its funds on legal services during the 2024 cycle. Of nearly $1.6 million in campaign funds spent, roughly $784,900 went to legal services, according to an analysis of Federal Election Commission records cited by Breitbart News. FEC records showed nearly $690,000 in payments to Clifford Chance LLP, which was reportedly representing Cuellar, more than $46,900 to Perkins Coie LLP, and additional payments to Mololamken LLP.

Arizona Lawmakers Demand Further Review of Katie Hobbs Bribery Scheme After Far-Left AG Declines to Prosecute – Hobbs Responds

Arizona Republican lawmakers are calling for a real investigation into Arizona’s Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs after Attorney General Kris Mayes, a fellow Democrat, declined to bring charges for a potential pay-for-play scheme involving Hobbs and the Democratic Party. 

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Hobbs came under investigation in 2024, stemming from significant donations to the Democratic Party and a dark-money group used for Hobbs’ inaugural events, potentially influencing state contract decisions. Hobbs and the Democrats took $400,000 from Sunshine Residential Homes, which potentially made millions in return.

However, as expected, Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes closed her two-year-long investigation and announced last month that her office would not charge comrade Hobbs, who wouldn’t even sit for an interview with investigators.
