Democrats Cry ‘Voter Intimidation’ as DOJ Deploys Election Monitors to California, New Jersey

The Department of Justice announced Friday it will send election monitors to polling locations across California and New Jersey for the upcoming November 4 general election, citing efforts to ensure transparency and compliance with federal voting laws.

According to a Justice Department press release, monitors from the Civil Rights Division will be present in six jurisdictions—Passaic County, New Jersey; and California’s Kern, Riverside, Fresno, Orange, and Los Angeles Counties. Attorney General Pamela Bondi said the initiative is meant to “uphold the highest standards of election integrity” and guarantee that “the American people get the fair, free, and transparent elections they deserve.”

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon stated that “Transparent election processes and election monitoring are critical tools for safeguarding our elections and ensuring public trust in the integrity of our elections.” Acting U.S. Attorney  affirmed his office would “work tirelessly to uphold and protect the integrity of the election process,” while Acting U.S. Attorney Alina Habba added that “Election protection means making sure every eligible voter can participate freely and every lawful vote is counted.”

California Gov. Gavin Newsom sharply condemned the announcement in a video message, claiming the Trump administration had “no basis” to send monitors into California polling sites. “This is about voter intimidation. This is about voter suppression, period, full stop,” Newsom declared. He accused federal officials of creating “a chill” through the “federalization of the National Guard” and portrayed the move as similar to “masked men” from ICE or Border Patrol appearing near voting locations. “They do not believe in fair and free elections,” Newsom continued. “Our republic, our democracy, is on the line.”

In a series of posts on X, Newsom wrote, “Donald Trump’s puppet DOJ has no business screwing around with next month’s election,” and called the move “a deliberate attempt to scare off voters and undermine a fair election.” He also asserted, “Trump is sending the DOJ to California to ‘monitor’ the election. His intentions are clear — he wants to suppress the vote. And when we win, he will falsely lay claim to fraud. We will not be intimidated.”

Even CNN Is Calling Out Dems Over This Lie About Trump’s White House Project

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and a host of Democrats fell for this lie. No, the East Wing project at the White House isn’t the president’s main priority. Trump departed for his Asia tour last night. Schumer commented on a clip of White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s answer about this renovation, but it was taken out of context. Schumer took the bait and got taken behind the barn for it. Now, even CNN is calling them out.

A reporter asked press secretary Karoline Leavitt at a Thursday briefing: “In addition to the ballroom and the Rose Garden patio, is the president looking at any other renovations or significant kind of projects here at the White House?” 

Leavitt responded: “Not to my knowledge, no. But he’s a builder at heart, clearly. And so his heart and his mind is always churning about how to improve things here on the White House grounds. But at this moment in time, of course, the ballroom is really the president’s main priority.” 

So Leavitt was clearly referring to the planned new ballroom as Trump’s main priority for White House renovations. But on social media, various Democratic members of Congress have cut out the first part of the exchange to make it sound like she was saying the ballroom was Trump’s overall main priority.

Virginia Governor Declares Emergency Over Looming Loss Of SNAP Benefits; USDA Warns Funds Running Out

USDA Warns It Can’t Use Contingency Funds To Cover SNAP In November

The federal government shutdown entered Day 25 on Saturday, with cryptocurrency-based prediction market Polymarket showing odds in the single digits that Democrats and Republicans will reach a resolution before November 3. The market currently assigns a 15% probability that the shutdown will end between November 12 and 15.

We have warned readers of the potential for major disruptions to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) if the federal government remains closed. Betting odds markets and limited political chatter in the Capitol Beltway this weekend (so far) suggest a resolution to the shutdown remains muted for next week.

In 2025, around 42 million people relied on SNAP benefits, which accounted for 12% of the population. This is more than enough people to create chaos should SNAP funds run dry in the coming weeks.

On Friday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) warned:

Due to Congressional Democrats’ refusal to pass a clean continuing resolution (CR), approximately 42 million individuals will not receive their SNAP benefits come November 1

“You Have To Be Scared… Forcefully Rise Up”: Democrat Leaders Ramp Up Resistance Rhetoric

Despite calls for many Democratic politicians and pundits to temper their inflammatory rhetoric, this week has proven a further escalation in this dangerous form of rage rhetoric.

DNC Chair Ken Martin just told MSNBC’s “The Beat” that “we may be nearing” the moment when “elections don’t matter and then the resistance looks completely different.”

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called on people to “forcefully rise up.”

With political violence on the rise, these leaders are clearly fueling the mob in hopes that they and their party can ride the wave of rage back into power. 

History suggests that it is a foolish delusion. Today’s revolutionaries quickly become tomorrow’s reactionaries.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., who pictures himself brandishing a baseball bat has previously called upon people to “fight in the streets.”

California Governor Gavin Newsom previously declared, “I’m going to punch these sons of bitches in the mouth.”

Virginia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Abigail Spanberger  called upon her supporters to “Let your rage fuel you.” She then refused to withdraw her support for the Democratic candidate for Attorney General, Jay Jones, who once expressed his desire to kill his political opponents and his children.

In his podcast with co-host Al Hunt, James Carville was again spewing unhinged hate. He returned to treating Trump and others as Nazis and their supporters as “collaborators.” I previously criticized Carville for that analogy. He later attacked me.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson Asks Reporter If the Word Illegal Alien Is ‘Sci-Fi’ Term

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson melted down after a reporter asked a question that used the term “illegal alien.” 

Johnson said:  “We don’t have illegals. Aliens — I don’t know if that’s from some sort of sci-fi message you wish you’d had. The legal term for my people was slaves — you want me to use that term too? Let’s get the language right.  We’re talking about undocumented individuals who are human beings. The last thing I’m going to do is accept racist, nasty language to describe them.”

Chicago is a sanctuary city, meaning that it won’t partner with immigration officers who deport illegal aliens unless those people are wanted on a criminal warrant by local or federal authorities, if they have been convicted of a serious crime and remain in the United States illegally, or if they are a clear threat to public safety or national security.

CNN’s Scott Jennings TORCHES Hypocrite Democrats — Exposes Radical Left’s Love Affair with a Candidate Sporting an ACTUAL Nazi Tattoo While Smearing Trump as “Hitler”

Scott Jennings absolutely eviscerated the Democrat Party on CNN, laying bare their shameless hypocrisy on everything from Nazi smears to their embrace of far-left radicals.

For years, Democrats and their MSM lapdogs have hurled “Nazi” accusations at President Trump, Elon Musk, and anyone who dares challenge their radical agenda. They’ve even fabricated lies about Pete Hegseth having Nazi tattoos.

Jennings took to X to drop this truth bomb:

“Dem after Dem called Trump, Elon, etc. Nazis. They accused Hegseth of Nazi tattoos (FALSE). And now? The most popular Dem Senate candidate in AMERICA has actual Nazi tattoos & the full backing of the radical Sanders wing of the Democratic Party. OWN IT.”

Platner, a 41-year-old Marine veteran turned radical leftist, has a chest tattoo resembling the infamous SS Totenkopf skull and crossbones, a symbol straight out of Hitler’s playbook.

He claims he got it on a drunken liberty stint in Croatia and had no idea it screamed “Nazi,” but CNN’s KFile dug up deleted Reddit posts from 2019 where Platner discussed the very same symbol and its Nazi ties.

Tim Walz Donor and Former Minneapolis Chamber CEO INDICTED on Five Counts of Bank and Wire Fraud — Accused of Embezzling $200K and Stealing $30K Reward Money for Unsolved Child Murder Cases

Former Minneapolis Regional Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Jonathan Weinhagen, a frequent donor to Democrat Governor Tim Walz, has been indicted on five federal counts of bank and wire fraud for allegedly embezzling more than $200,000 from the chamber and stealing $30,000 meant to help solve child murder cases.

According to federal prosecutors, Weinhagen carried out a six-year scheme between December 2019 and June 2024, using fake companies, fraudulent contracts, and even a phony obituary to cover his tracks.

According to FOX 9, Weinhagen ran an elaborate fraud operation from December 2019 through June 2024, when he abruptly left his position at the Chamber. Prosecutors allege that Weinhagen created a fake consulting company called Synergy Partners and used an alias, James Sullivan, to funnel money to himself.

He also allegedly:

  • Opened a $125,000 line of credit in the chamber’s name and funneled the money into his fake company.
  • Faked the death of his alias, publishing an obituary for “James Sullivan” when the chamber began asking questions.
  • Diverted $30,000 in reward money that had been donated to Crime Stoppers of Minnesota to help solve the shooting deaths of three children in 2021 — crimes that remain unsolved.
  • Tried to fraudulently obtain a $54,661 loan from SoFi Bank by claiming he worked for a restaurant group and earned $425,000 annually — both lies.

Federal prosecutors say the total embezzled amount exceeds $200,000.

Weinhagen also stole a total of $30,000 in reward money that had been earmarked to help find suspects.

Democrat Establishment Finally Rallies Behind Communist Zohran Mamdani — House Leader Hakeem Jeffries Gives Full Endorsement

For anyone saying that the Democratic Party does not have strong links to communism, the proof is now in the pudding.

On Friday afternoon, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries officially endorsed Zohran Mamdani, a proud Muslim communist who is likely to win the New York City mayoral race.

Jeffries, who had held off on endorsing Mamdani since his victory against Andrew Cuomo in May’s Democratic primary, said that although the two men had “areas of principled disagreement,” he was still offering his endorsement to the entire Democratic ticket.

“Zohran Mamdani has relentlessly focused on addressing the affordability crisis and explicitly committed to being a mayor for all New Yorkers, including those who do not support his candidacy,” Jeffries said in a statement to The New York Times.

“In that spirit, I support him and the entire citywide Democratic ticket in the general election,” he continued.

The endorsement comes several weeks after New York’s Democratic governor, Kathy Hochul, also confirmed she would be supporting his candidacy.

In a statement at the time, Hochul said that Mamdani was “focused on making New York City affordable, a goal I enthusiastically support.”

“In the past few months, I’ve had frank conversations with him,” she said at the time. “We’ve had our disagreements.”

“But in our conversations, I heard a leader who shares my commitment to a New York where children can grow up safe in their neighborhoods and where opportunity is within reach for every family.”

Jay Jones’ ‘Community Service’ Scandal Is Worse Than You Think

Democrat Jay Jones has found himself in hot water during the final weeks of his campaign to become Virginia’s top law enforcement officer. The closer to Election Day it gets, the scandals seem to keep piling up.

At around the same time he was fantasizing about assassinating Virginia’s former Republican House speaker and wishing death upon his children in 2022, Jones had a truly remarkable run-in with the state’s criminal-justice system. According to recent reports, the Democrat AG candidate is now under investigation for a 2022 reckless driving incident.

By way of background, Jones was clocked going 116 mph in a 70 mph stretch of highway and charged with reckless driving. While other defendants facing the same charge as he faced — with the “same initial hearing date as Jones” — reportedly got jail sentences, Jones got away with a fine and 1,000 hours of community service. (These defendants were even caught driving more slowly than Jones was, according to Cardinal News.)

Supposedly, Jones did that community service in 2023 — 500 hours at “Meet Our Moment” and 500 hours at the Virginia chapter of the NAACP. The first tranche of hours has caused considerable controversy and may be at the heart of the aforementioned criminal investigation.

Meet Our Moment is Jones’ own political action committee, founded to train Democrats to run for office. His hours were certified by an adviser of his, the Richmond Times-Dispatch reported. As noted by National Review, social media posts revealed Jones crisscrossed Virginia campaigning for Democrats in 2023, raising questions about whether such activities were counted as part of the 500 hours of “community service” he purportedly conducted with the group.

Perhaps equally interesting, however, is Jones’ “community service” time with the Virginia wing of the NAACP.

In 2023, Jones was a senior associate at the massive law firm known as Hogan Lovells. While there, he was involved in a high-profile lawsuit against the Youngkin administration regarding a dispute over public records pertaining to voting restoration practices for previously convicted felons.

The client Jones and Hogan represented in that case? None other than the Virginia NAACP. (Jones apparently ended work on the case when he started campaigning for state attorney general.)

Much like with Meet Our Moment, it’s unclear how Jones spent his 500 hours with the Virginia NAACP, once again raising questions about whether any of his legal services for the group in its lawsuit against Gov. Glenn Youngkin were counted as “community service.”

These services would seemingly have been provided by Hogan “pro bono,” or for free. But they’re provided for free by the firm’s partnership.

Anonymous donor gives President Donald Trump $130 million dollars to help pay the military affected by the government shutdown orchestrated by the Democrats

President Donald Trump announced that an anonymous billionaire, described by him as a «great friend» and a true patriot, has delivered a check for $130 million directly to the federal government.

This fund is intended to cover any deficit in the salaries of active military personnel, affected by the prolonged government shutdown orchestrated by Democrats in Congress. «He sent us a $130 million check today!» Trump exclaimed, emphasizing that the donor rejects any public recognition.

The announcement took place during an event at the White House, where Trump did not hold back his criticism of the «Democrat-led government shutdown,» which he blamed for jeopardizing U.S. armed forces.»

«He called us the other day and said: ‘I’d like to contribute to any shortfall you have due to the Democrat shutdown. I’d like to contribute personally to any shortfall the military might have, because I love the military and I love the country, and any shortfall, if there is one, I’ll contribute,’» Trump recounted.

This patriotic gesture arrives at a critical moment: the budget deadlock threatens to delay payments to hundreds of thousands of soldiers, reservists, and families, despite a prior executive order from Trump that redirected unused research funds to mitigate the damage.

This donation is not only a financial lifeline but also a reminder of how the private sector—driven by patriotic values—can correct the disasters caused by leftist obstruction.
