Democratic firebrand Jasmine Crockett embarrassingly deletes multiple errors on her campaign website

Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett was caught with multiple errors on her campaign site before her team scrambled to correct them. 

The 44-year-old Democratic firebrand, who launched her Senate campaign two months ago, shared her stance on critical social issues in the state – but the content didn’t appear to be proofread before it was published. 

On the site, under the slogan ‘Crockett Texas Tough’, a bulleted list displayed the liberal’s ‘priorities’. 

In the initial mention of insurance companies helping citizens with mental health issues, Crockett’s team seemingly forgot to delete ‘write out your bullet point here’,  the placeholder statement that appears when building a website. 

Before edits were made, senior CNN reporter Edward-Isaac Dovere spotted the error. 

‘Requiring all major insurance providers to include full mental healthcare coverage, including prescription medications and therapiesWrite out your bullet points here. Anything from a sentence to a paragraph works,’ the line originally read. 

The bullet point has since been shortened to: ‘Requiring all major insurance providers to include full mental healthcare coverage, including prescription medications and therapies.’ 

Online users also uncovered that her campaign added a bullet point praising her work on gun control in the Social Security section of her website. That error has since been amended.

Raskin: Voter ID Law Violates The 19th Amendment In Denying The Vote To Women

With polling showing over 80 percent of Americans in favor of voter ID laws, it is hard to come up with reasons why you need an ID to board a plane but not vote in a federal election. That was particularly glaring this week when Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) required people to show an ID to attend his campaign events after opposing an ID requirement to vote. So if you want to hear Ossoff speak against voter ID, you will have to show your ID. Now Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) has a rather bizarre argument: the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, if passed, would likely violate the 19th Amendment to the Constitution.

CNN Host Kasie Hunt told Raskin that “Voter ID is supported by the majority of Americans. But there are Democrats on the Hill and you voted against this? Why not support voter ID?”

Raskin then had this curious response:

“… what’s wrong with the Save act? What’s wrong with it is that it might violate the 19th Amendment, which gives women the right to vote, because you’ve got to show that all of your different IDs match.

So if you’re a woman who’s gotten married and you’ve changed your name to your husband’s name, but you’re so now your current name is different from your name at birth.

Now you’ve got to go ahead and document that you need an affidavit explaining why. And why would we go to all of these, troubles in order to keep people from voting when none of the states that are actually running the elections are telling us that there’s any problem.”

In fact, under various voter ID laws, states can create systems to address issues such as different maiden names or name changes following a divorce, including requiring a standard attestation provided by the state.

Nothing in the SAVE Act requires birth certificates be brought to polling places. 

It allows for the use of a signed attestation supplied by the state.

As for identification, various forms are allowed:

The legislation would require documentation that shows an individual was born in the U.S., including either:

  • An ID that complies with the REAL ID Act and indicates the holder is a citizen;
  • A passport;
  • A military ID card and military record of service that shows a person was born in the U.S.;
  • A government-issued photo ID that shows the person’s place of birth was in the U.S.;
  • Other forms of government-issued photo ID, if they’re accompanied by a birth certificate, comparable document or naturalization certificate.

Now, on the 19th Amendment, Raskin’s argument is simply ridiculous. Indeed, if this were credible, why has it not been used successfully against prior state voting ID laws? Rather than making this claim on CNN, it would be interesting for Raskin to try it in court once the SAVE Act passes.

CBS Whistleblower Drops Bomb: Network Sat on Hunter Biden Laptop to Protect Democrats

CBS investigative journalist Catherine Herridge said her reporting team conducted extensive forensic verification of Hunter Biden laptop data before the network aired a story on the material following the 2022 midterm elections, despite the information being ready earlier.

Herridge described the internal process, editorial decisions, and resistance she encountered while attempting to pursue additional reporting related to the laptop, including material she said raised serious questions that CBS declined to cover.

Herridge explained that the decision to delay the story until after the midterms was made even though the reporting and verification were complete.

“We eventually broadcast a story about the Hunter Biden laptop after the midterm elections in 2022 we commissioned a forensic review,” Herridge said.

She stated that she personally obtained and retained a verified copy of the data.

“I got a copy of the laptop data. I have it. I have it here still. I went to a lot of effort to get the cleanest copy of the laptop data, the same data that was provided to the FBI, because I didn’t want to have any professional journalistic risk for CBS News.”

Herridge said the forensic review was central to her approach because she wanted the reporting to meet the highest standards before going on air.

LAUGHABLE: Jasmine Crockett Tells MSNOW That Republicans Will ‘Absolutely’ Vote for Her in a General Election

Far left Rep. Jasmine Crockett recently appeared on MSNOW and told host Michael Steele that Republican voters in Texas will ‘absolutely’ vote for her because she’s genuine or something.

Crockett has raised her national profile over the last year through her willingness to go on TV and say incredibly stupid things, but it’s unlikely that she would win over Republican voters in a general election.

It’s also funny how no one at MSNOW even challenges her on any of this.

Breitbart News has details:

Co-host Michael Steele said, “Do you think Republicans, when you get to a general election, can be convinced that you are the representative they need in Washington?”

Crockett said, “Oh, absolutely. Now, Michael, you can maybe talk about this a little bit more because I think the Democrats have a perception of what Republicans want. And I think that, you know, what the real is. I think that Republicans aren’t looking for somebody that is Republican lite. They can just go and get the real thing. What they want is somebody that they know who they are. So I have text messages from Republicans that have made it clear that if there is a certain person that ends up making it through, they are absolutely voting for me because they know who I am.”

She added, “And so that’s why we can understand. When Republicans went out and voted for a less than perfect candidate in Donald Trump, they don’t seek perfection, whereas Democrats typically do.

A Viral Video Shows How The Left Coerces Fake Agreement

You’ve probably seen the video making the rounds today of the “Peak AWFL” meltdown in a Minneapolis yoga studio.

You can see a bunch of obvious themes in this mega-cringe showdown, starting with the feminization thesis advanced by Helen Andrews and the problem of Cluster B politics that Christopher Rufo has described. But the moment couldn’t be any more thoroughly on the nose, because note what the controversy is: A private company took down an anti-ICE sign. The meltdown is about the display of a political slogan.

What’s happening here is the absolute dead center of a problem the dissident writer Václav Havel discussed in his famous long essay on “The Power of the Powerless.” Havel argued that an insistence on speaking truth is political dynamite against a system or regime that demands compliance.

In the third section of that essay — it starts on page 5, if you click on the link — he discusses a greengrocer who hangs a sign in the window of his shop. Havel writes that the grocer “does not put the slogan in his window from any personal desire to acquaint the public with the ideal it expresses.” What he means by hanging up the sign, Havel says, is please leave me alone. He puts the sign in the window “because everyone does it, and because that is the way it has to be. … He does it because these things must be done if one is to get along in life. It is one of the thousands of details that guarantee him a relatively tranquil life ‘in harmony with society,’ as they say.”

But all of that please-leave-me-alone compliance, Havel says, is a trick. It leads us to the accident of seeing agreement everywhere. Everyone has that sign, so everyone must believe what it says. The act of going along to get along is a legitimizing act, a political surrender that hides disagreement. It’s a lie, and it has a cost.

Democrats Hate Anyone Who Doesn’t Love Crime And Fraud As Much As They Do — Even Leftists

Democrats hate certain other Democrats and leftists about as much as they hate you, and their targets are quite revealing.

In Los Angeles, elected City Controller Kenneth Mejia has unearthed significant social services fraud and waste and is pushing to fund more investigators — without success — so he can dig deeper. Mejia is way left, a high-octane Bernie bro who ostensibly “left” the Democrat Party in 2024. He has at times identified with the Green Party, apparently because the Democrats were much too far to the right for him. But Mejia is also a certified public accountant and a true believer in leftist social intervention, and he takes it personally when people steal from government programs that are supposed to help the poor. Mejia’s investigators are the reason a homeless services contractor in Los Angeles is awaiting trial on a massive list of state and federal felony charges for fraud.

Mejia revealed earlier this week that real estate and private equity “executives” as well as multiple “billionaires” are “pouring money” into the 2026 controller’s race to “oust” him amid his reelection bid.

ICE Humilates Far-Left Boston Mayor Michelle Wu in EPIC Fashion After She Signs Executive Order Barring Agency from Conducting “Unconstitutional and Violent” Operations

ICE agents delivered a humiliating and richly deserved blow to Boston Mayor Michelle Wu’s ego on Friday, one day after she tried to hamstring them for doing their jobs.

As WHDH reported, Wu signed an “An Executive Order To Protect Bostonians From Unconstitutional and Violent Federal Operations.”

Specifically, the order bans federal officials, including ICE, from using city property for immigration enforcement operations.

Wu’s office says the order is designed to “protect residents from illegal federal overreach, prioritizing de-escalation, and reaffirms that Boston will hold anyone accountable who commits violence, property damage, or any criminal conduct in the City, including federal officials.”

“The Order confirms that the Boston Police Department will investigate all crimes committed in Boston— including those committed by federal agents—and, if appropriate, we will make referrals to the City’s local law enforcement partners, the Suffolk County District Attorney and the Massachusetts Attorney General,” Wu said in a statement obtained by WHDH.

“Additionally, the Order bars federal immigration agents from using City buildings, parking lots, and parks for their operations, bars immigration enforcement in non-public City spaces, and reaffirms that the City’s public buildings, including schools, libraries, senior centers, and community centers are available to residents for designated purposes only,” she continued.

Wu explained during a press conference that her executive order was in response to the actions of federal immigration enforcement and the deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

She also whined that ICE agents were wearing masks to safeguard their identities, refusing to identify themselves, racially profiling residents, and not using body cameras.

That Was Fast: In Less Than a Day, Kamala Harris Reverses Name of X Account After Widepread Mockery

In an attempt to appear “hip’ with younger generations by co-opting some of their lingo, on Thursday, the 2024 presidential election loser, Kamala Harris, rolled out a new name for her X account. The account was initially used during her failed campaign but was rebranded as headquarters67.

The next day, Harris, however, after being universally mocked, changed the name yet again.

With headquarters’67, Harris was trying to show how ‘cool’ and ‘hip’ she is by co-opting a Gen Alpha meme using ’67.’

The New York Post noted, “Alpha brainrot slang ’67’ that kids sometimes facetiously used when asked a question they’re too lazy to answer properly.

The effort fell flat.

Rather than buzz around the name change and what it might mean for Harris’s political future, it only reinforced how phony and performative she is.

Investigative reporter Chris Rufo noted, “My children have informed me that ’67’ is already old, tired, and cringe, so once again, Kamala is coming up short.”

Other X users reminded people that Harris admitted she really thinks about younger generations, “They are stupid.”

OF COURSE: Democrat Senator Jon Ossoff Opposes Voter ID But Requires ID to Get Into His Campaign Rally

Like the rest of his party, Senator Jon Ossoff of Georgia opposes the idea of voter ID, but you better have an ID if you’re planning to attend his campaign rally this weekend.

This is true of the Democrat National Convention as well. People have pointed out for years that you can’t get into the biggest Democrat party on the planet without a photo ID.

Somehow, this double standard is lost on every member of their party.

Breitbart News reports:

Sen. Ossoff to Require ID at Campaign Rally While He Fights ID Requirements to Vote

Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) insists on security when he interacts with the American public but not when Americans cast their ballots.

The Georgia senator is requiring government-issued identification for members of the public to attend his election rally Saturday while opposing similar requirements to cast a ballot in elections.

Ossoff has emerged as one of the strongest fighters against election security measures, not only opposing the SAVE Act to require government-issued identification verification to vote but even introducing legislation to enshrine into laws the right to vote without proving one’s identity. His bill, the misleadingly labeled Right to Vote Act, would make it harder for states to ensure election integrity by implementing voter ID.

“Jon Ossoff is about to vote against the SAVE Act, but is requiring a government-issued ID to get into his rally in Atlanta tomorrow,” a campaign account for Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA), a candidate in the Republican primary to take on Ossoff, posted Friday. “There should be more security in American elections than there is to listen to Jon Ossoff’s lies.”

At the bottom of this graphic, it clearly states that a valid photo ID is needed to get into the event.

Democrats involved in ‘illegal orders’ video say they won’t cooperate with DOJ probe

Two Democrats who participated in a video that urged members of the military and the intelligence community not to follow illegal orders are refusing to comply with an investigation by the Justice Department.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., said in a post Thursday that she sent a letter informing Attorney General Pam Bondi and the U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C., Jeanine Pirro, that she would not comply with the Justice Department’s inquiries or their request that she sit for an interview about the video.

Slotkin said the Trump administration is “purposely using physical and legal intimidation to get me to shut up.”

“But more importantly, they’re using that intimidation to deter others from speaking out against their administration. The intimidation is the point, and I’m not going to go along with that,” she said in her post.

Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, D-Pa., said in her own post Thursday that she would also refuse to comply with the Justice Department’s “request for me to submit to a voluntary interview” about the video.

“I will not be doing that,” Houlahan said. She continued, “What is happening now crosses a line when the power of the federal government is turned toward intimidating people.”

Six members of Congress, all of whom served in either the military or intelligence services, posted a 90-second video in November telling members of the military to refuse illegal orders, spurring a series of social media posts from President Donald Trump condemning the move.

Slotkin, Houlahan and Reps. Jason Crow, D-Colo., and Maggie Goodlander, D-N.H., all reported last month that federal prosecutors had contacted them about the video.

Asked about the lawmakers’ defiance of the Justice Department’s probe, Pirro’s office declined to comment.

The Justice Department has not yet responded to a request for comment.

Slotkin said her letter urged Bondi and Pirro “to retain their records on this case, in case I decide to sue for infringement of my constitutional rights.”

She said Thursday that Trump’s continued social media posts about the six lawmakers who posted the video led to “threats [that] went through the roof to myself, my family, my staff.”
