Senate Democrats on Thursday blocked a common-sense amendment that would have required voters to show a simple photo ID to cast a ballot.
Despite Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s recent “pinky-promise” that Democrats aren’t actually opposed to ID requirements, his party voted in lockstep to kill the measure, according to CBS News.
The amendment failed to reach the 60-vote threshold, dying in a 53 to 47 vote. The radical Left once again chose to keep the door wide open for potential fraud.
Democrat New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill signed legislation this week banning law enforcement, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, from wearing masks, leaving then vulnerable to targeted harassment.
The governor signed SCS for S3114 and 3216/A1743, which, according the March 25 press release, “Requires law enforcement officer[s] to reveal facial identity during certain public interactions and to present sufficient identification prior to arresting or detaining person.”
In a statement describing the bills she signed, Sherrill said, “These bills underscore that here in New Jersey, we still follow the Constitution and uphold the rule of law.”
“My focus as governor remains on keeping the public safe,” she continued before taking a dig at President Donald Trump, describing ICE agents as “untrained” and “unaccountable.”
“As we’ve seen across the country, Donald Trump’s untrained, unaccountable, masked ICE agents are putting people in danger,” she said.
“That’s why in New Jersey, we are protecting our communities — strengthening our protections, banning ICE agents from wearing masks, and protecting residents’ privacy from federal overreach,” Sherrill added.
This has remained a sticking point when it comes to the partial government shutdown as Democrats have demanded reforms to ICE, taking issue, specifically, with the use of masks.
“Senate Democrats want to ban ICE officers from wearing masks so their left-wing street militias can dox the officers and terrorize the officers’ wives and children at their homes,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) said on Wednesday, offering further perspective on day 40 of the Senate battle over funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
On Thursday the shutdown reached day 41.
Last week , when a college student in Chicago named Sheridan Gorman was murdered by an illegal immigrant, a Democrat Chicago Alderwoman named Maria Hadden blamed the victim, suggesting that Gorman was in the wrong place at the wrong time, or that she might have startled the shooter.
You can see the video of her comments here.
The backlash to the alderwoman was so severe that she has closed her office for the time being.

Chicago alderwoman closes office after ‘wrong place at the wrong time’ comment on slain student fuels backlash
A Chicago alderwoman closed her office for the rest of the week in response to backlash over comments that a slain college student was in the “wrong place at the wrong time,” citing safety concerns.
Sheridan Gorman, 18, was killed March 19 around 1 a.m. when she was on a pier in the city’s Rogers Park area, just north of Loyola University Chicago, where the freshman attended college.
The suspect in Gorman’s murder, 25-year-old Jose Medina-Medina, an illegal immigrant from Venezuela, was apprehended by the U.S. Border Patrol May 9, 2023, then released into the U.S. under the Biden administration, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
After the shooting, Alderwoman Maria Hadden suggested in an interview with Fox 32 Chicago that Gorman was in the “wrong place at the wrong time,” adding that she might have “startled” the individual accused of killing her.
In a Facebook story posted on Wednesday, Hadden announced her office would be closed for the rest of the week due to safety concerns.
“My team and I are taking these precautions to ensure our safety and ability to maintain the level of service that you expect of us. I am still working as usual and will be out and about in our ward this week,” she wrote.
U.S. intelligence intercepted Ukrainian government communications discussing a plot to route hundreds of millions of American tax dollars earmarked for clean energy in the war-torn country and move them to the United States to enrich then-President Joe Biden’s 2024 re-election campaign and the Democratic National Committee, according to a declassified intelligence report summarizing the intercepts that was obtained by Just the News.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard recently learned of the intercepts and has asked the U.S. Agency for International Development officials to scour for records to see if the plot actually was carried out and whether a criminal referral should be made to the FBI.
Gabbard’s team has not found substantive evidence the intercepted allegations were thoroughly investigated during the Biden administration, and the communications are not believed to be tied to Russian disinformation efforts, officials said.
The declassified report is a summary of raw intercepts from U.S. spy agencies in late 2022 concerning the alleged plot, and officials who have reviewed the files said there seemed to be a lack of curiosity to investigate such an explosive allegation of foreign interference in a U.S. election.
“The Ukrainian Government and unspecified U.S. Government personnel, through USAID in Kyiv, reportedly developed a plan that would provide hundreds of millions of US taxpayer dollars to fund an infrastructure project for Ukraine that would be used as a cover to send approximately 90% of funds allocated to the DNC to fund Joe Biden’s reelection campaign,” the declassified summary of the intercepts stated.
“They were confident the project would be funded initially, even though at some time in the future the project would be disapproved as unnecessary. At this time, the money would already be allocated and impossible to return or use for a different purpose,” the report added.
The intercepts mentioned two American subcontractors as possible recipients of the money that would eventually be moved to Democratic coffers, officials said. The names are included in still classified raw spy data but were redacted from the declassified report obtained by Just the News.
“The plan included details of how subcontractors would be funded through U.S. companies so that how the funds were spent and allocated would be difficult to track,” the declassified summary stated. “Additionally, contracts would be executed that would be difficult to verify. In this manner, most of the U.S. funding would be diverted to Joe Biden’s election campaign without the ability to track where exactly the funds came from.”
The discovery of alleged 2022 efforts by Ukraine to help Biden’s 2024 campaign comes at a sensitive time for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who has been working closely with President Donald Trump’s envoys to craft a peace plan to end the four-year war started by Russian aggression in 2022 during the Biden Administration.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard will soon declassify a top secret document related to Trump’s first impeachment that then-House Intel Chairman Adam Schiff locked away in a SCIF [Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility] for years.
Per investigative reporter Paul Sperry: “I’m told Trump intel czar Tulsi Gabbard will soon declassify an explosive top-secret document former House Intelligence Chair Adam Schiff locked away in a Capitol SCIF several years ago and wouldn’t let even members of Congress see…”
The House Intelligence Committee voted on Tuesday to release transcripts from 2019 hearings with the former Intelligence Community Inspector General, Michael Atkinson.
“The 2019 hearings were held to examine Atkinson’s role in an alleged whistleblower complaint, which ultimately led to Democrats’ first impeachment efforts against President Trump in December 2019,” the House Intel Committee said.
“The great deal of widespread speculation about the Atkinson classified hearing transcript is indicative of the American people’s complete and warranted mistrust of the Intelligence Community,” said Chairman Crawford.
“In far too many instances, the IC hides behind the veil of overclassification. Sometimes sunlight is the best disinfectant. As part of the Committee’s continued effort to balance the transparency the American people deserve and the need to protect sensitive national security information, we hope that the release of these transcripts allows the American people to make their own determinations. As Chairman, I remain committed to ensuring this Committee, where possible, is transparent as the IC works to rebuild trust with the American people,” he said.
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker (D) blamed President Trump following the murder of Loyola University student by an illegal alien.
Another innocent young American woman was murdered by one of Joe Biden’s illegal aliens in the sanctuary state of Democrat-run Illinois.
Very early Thursday morning, 18-year-old Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman was shot and killed near campus in Chicago.
A masked gunman approached a group of students walking in Rogers Park and opened fire.
Gorman was shot in the head and died at the scene.
On Sunday it was confirmed that the masked gunman who killed Gorman is a 25-year-old illegal alien from Venezuela who entered the US under the Biden Regime.
The Department of Homeland Security blasted the Biden Regime and Pritzker.
“Sheridan Gorman had her whole life ahead of her before this cold-blooded killer decided to end her life. She was failed by open border policies and sanctuary politicians who RELEASED this illegal alien TWICE before he went on to commit this heinous murder,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis.
“We are calling on Governor Pritzker and Chicago’s sanctuary politicians to commit to not releasing this criminal illegal alien from jail back into American neighborhoods,” the DHS said.
Pritzker blamed President Trump following the murder of Sheridan Gorman.
“I agree there have been real failures. Those failures, of course, extend beyond the borders of Illinois. They are national failures,” Pritzker said blaming Trump.
“A failure to have comprehensive immigration reform. A failure of the president to follow his own edict to go after the worst of the worst,” he said.
It is AMAZING that Democrat Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut said this out loud.
During an appearance on MSNOW, he actually said that illegals are the people Democrats care about the most. They have shown this as a party over and over again in the last two years, but it’s still incredible to hear one of them slip like this and say it out loud.
The clip is from 2024 and is going viral now because it was shared on Twitter/X today but he could have said this just yesterday. It’s as true now as it was in 2024.
FOX News even reported on it today:
A resurfaced post by Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy discussing the people Democrats “care about most” is sparking social media outrage from conservatives, making the case it points to their priorities in the current fight on Department of Homeland Security funding.
In the clip, posted on Monday night by the conservative influencer account End Wokeness, MSNBC host Chris Hayes asked Murphy in 2024 about negotiations between Democrats and Republicans happening at the time about a border security bill. Hayes pressed Murphy on why Democrats were pushing to get funding for Ukraine instead of pushing for a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, as the party had done in the past.
“Well, I mean, Chris, that’s been a failed play for 20 years,” Murphy replied. “So you are right that that has been the Democratic strategy for 30 years, maybe, and it has failed to deliver for the people we care about most, the undocumented Americans that are in this country.”
The Democrats have made it painfully, frighteningly clear that they intend to weaponize the government against President Trump, his allies, and anyone who didn’t sufficiently “resist” the Trump administration if they regain power. Susan Rice said last month, “When it comes to the elites, the corporate interests, the law firms, the universities, the media…it is not going to end well for them, for those that decided…that they would act in their perceived very narrow self interest,” Rice said, “which I would underscore is a very short-term self-interest and take a knee to Trump.”
Rice added, “If they’ve done something wrong, they will be held accountable. And if they haven’t broken the law, good for them; if they’ve done the right things, good for them. That also will be noted and remembered. This is not going to be an instance of forgive and forget. The damage that these people are doing is too severe to the American people and our national interests.”
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker promised to do the same, telling the media, “I don’t think you can speak of it in shorthand, but we’ve got to restore the rule of law, and that means holding people accountable who’ve broken the law. I’m talking about the people in this administration who’ve broken the law and federal agents who’ve broken the law.” He said Democrats would do whatever it took to prosecute them, “Criminally prosecuted, civilly prosecuted. Whatever it is that we can do.”
The biggest target thus far of the Democrats’ retribution plans is ICE agents. Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner vowed to hunt them down like Nazis. Eric Swalwell said he’d make their lives a living hell if he’s elected Governor of California. And several states, including Maryland and Rhode Island, have introduced legislation that would bar ICE agents from obtaining law enforcement jobs in those states, while Colorado advanced a bill allowing lawsuits against ICE agents.
The “tolerant” left is at it again, and this time, it’s coming from the “Golden Years” crowd.
Two elderly leftists in Arlington Heights, Illinois, have been arrested and charged after a months-long investigation into the disgusting vandalism of the Republicans of Wheeling Township headquarters.
According to the Arlington Heights Police Department, 72-year-old Brock McNerney and 69-year-old Moisette McNerney were taken into custody on Monday in connection with the defacement of the headquarters last January.
The pair now face misdemeanor charges of criminal damage to property and criminal defacement of property under Illinois law. Authorities say the arrests were made without incident, and the suspects were released pending their initial court appearance.
ABC7 Chicago reported:
Surveillance video from the late evening hours of Jan. 25 shows a couple, a man in glasses and a woman, both dressed in black, drawing explicit words and what ABC7 Chicago has been told were several Nazi symbols over the face of Charlie Kirk on the windows in Arlington Heights.
“Charlie Kirk was born in Arlington Heights, and he actually had come through our doors; so, he was initially started off with our organization. So, we’re really kind of deeply saddened to see that,” Deputy Committeeman John Saletta said.
The Republicans of Wheeling Township Office said the alleged vandals drew antisemitic symbols on their building.
Saletta said they put up surveillance cameras after their building was previously vandalized in December.
“It’s obviously highly offensive, and we’re better than this,” Saletta said. “I think that as a nation, you know, we can resolve our differences through dialogue. That’s what Charlie was all about.”
I’d really hoped that I was beyond talking about Democratic U.S. House candidate Bobby Pulido’s strange public sex habits. As much as I want the guy to lose, I also don’t want to lose my lunch, either.
Thus, when the Tejano music star and the multiple Latin Grammy-winning entertainer got busted for old Twitter posts in which he both linked to pornography and suggested other bored folk search it out, I’d hoped that was the end of it.
After all, it was old stuff, he was supposed to be the new moderate face of the party in Texas, and surely he’d disavow thoughts like his 2014 statement that “It’s impossible to have Twitter and not watch porn.” (I’ve somehow managed, but I guess the Pulido fanbase is a different animal entirely.)
Alas, I was mistaken. Last week, the New York Post unearthed an old music video in which Pulido, who trails incumbent GOP Rep. Monica De La Cruz in the polls, played a serial pervert who, among other things, pleasures himself in public.
From the New York Post:
In a music video for his song “Dias de Ayer,” Pulido pantomimed as multiple characters including an exhibitionist, who wraps himself in a red blanket while repeatedly masturbating and even exposing himself to a woman while apparently on a private jet flight.
The two-time Latin Grammy winner seemingly caused such a stir with the 2010 video — which also displayed him as a homosexual admirer of the serial exhibitionist figure — that he faced questions from the Mexican press about his sexuality the same month it was released on an eponymous album.
“People are opening up more. I can even tell you that when I started my career, I saw the whole situation (of gays) very differently. At first, they said I was gay; there were rumors that I was like that,” Pulido told the outlet El Norte in a translated Spanish language March 2010 interview.
