PARTY OF THE PEOPLE: Obama and Other Democrat Elitists Holding Fundraiser for Redistricting Efforts on Posh Martha’s Vineyard

Former President Obama is holding a fundraiser for redistricting efforts along with ‘wingman’ Eric Holder, and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

The event is happening tomorrow, August 19th, and it’s happening on the ritzy Massachusetts island of Martha’s Vineyard.

What is it about Martha’s Vineyard and Democrats? They’re absolutely obsessed with it as a destination, except for illegal immigrants, of course.

The Hill reported on this a couple of weeks ago:

Obama leading Democratic redistricting fundraiser in Martha’s Vineyard

Former President Obama is set to appear at a Democratic redistricting group’s fundraiser next month in Martha’s Vineyard, as the party looks to go toe-to-toe with Republicans’ redistricting push in Texas.

Obama is named as a special guest on an invitation for an event hosted by former Attorney General Eric Holder, the chair of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC), and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), according to an invitation obtained by The Hill and first reported by Politico.

The invitation says the dinner and discussion will benefit the NDRC and affiliated groups on Aug. 19.

Democrats are pushing for blue states to consider redrawing their House maps to offset similar efforts taking place in Texas, where President Trump has said he’s looking to pick up five House seats.

How perfect is it that Democrats are doing this in Massachusetts, a state with zero Republican representation, despite the fact that more than a third of the state voted for Trump?

Democrat Rep. LaMonica McIver Smears Trump — Claims His Use of “Liberation Day” Is Secret Code for “White Power” … But Forgets Newsom Used the Same Phrase

Democrats are at it again, twisting President Trump’s words into some deranged conspiracy theory about “racism” that exists only in their heads.

Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) launched a bizarre smear campaign this week, accusing Trump of using the phrase “Liberation Day” as a hidden dog whistle for “white power.”

In a post, McIver claimed:

“When Trump opens his mouth to say ‘it’s liberation day’ he’s really screaming out White Power! Modern day racism!”

When Trump opens his mouth to say “it’s liberation day” he’s really screaming out White Power!

Modern day racism!

— LaMonica McIver (@LamonicaMciver) August 12, 2025

That wasn’t enough for her. She doubled down during an interview, ranting:

“When he says, ‘Oh, it’s Liberation Day and all of these things, those are ways of him saying, Oh, it’s white power. It’s what I want to do.’ Those are racist remarks. His number one targets are cities that are led by black mayors. His number one targets are cities, our sanctuary cities that support immigration.”

Democrats Don’t Get To Act Thoughtful About Solving The Crime Problem They Created

Democrats and the dying media know they have no leg to stand on when it comes to crime, but because they can never just sit still and be quiet, they’re acting like they have deep thoughts on law and order.

No, thanks! They don’t get to adopt positions like “defund the police,” throwing the country into a violent hell for nearly half a decade, and then have a say in how we pull ourselves out.

The New York Times, effectively the conscience of the Democrat establishment, wrote in a lengthy editorial Thursday on the “lessons” of recent years “that can help policymakers reduce crime even further and make progress against other societal ills.” Those lessons naturally come after the Times repeats the prerequisite talking point among Democrats that “crime is down,” but more importantly, the lessons are the obvious things that Democrats and the media shut down and shamed people for saying aloud for years.

“In 2020, policymakers played a direct role in accelerating [societal breakdown] by shuttering services that promote social cohesion,” the editorial said. “Consider school closures. Whether to keep schools closed after the initial months of the pandemic was a difficult decision. But officials at least should have put more weight on obvious costs of closures, including learning loss, social isolation and the possibility that closures contribute to crime.”

If you’re not already in a seething rage, holding back violent temptations, continue reading.

Insider Trading Runs Deep Within the Democrat Party

Democrats routinely claim to be defenders of ordinary Americans against Wall Street corruption. Yet, their financial disclosures reveal a pattern of insider trading that dwarfs what they accuse Republicans of doing. 

Insider trading exists on both sides of the aisle, but when Democrats are involved, the media looks the other way and pretends it doesn’t exist.

No example is more blatant than former Speaker Nancy Pelosi. According to financial disclosure reports, Pelosi and her husband, Paul, reported stock trades worth as much as $30 million in technology companies during her time in leadership. 

These trades weren’t random investments. In March 2021, Paul Pelosi exercised Microsoft options valued at up to $5 million, just weeks before the company secured a $22 billion U.S. Army contract for augmented reality headsets. 

In July 2021, he purchased shares of Alphabet worth between $1 million and $5 million while the House was debating legislation on Big Tech regulation. Later that year, he bought up to $3.3 million in Tesla stock as Democrats pushed for billions in electric vehicle subsidies. 

Pelosi repeatedly called criticism “nonsense,” but the profits are undeniable.

Dem Governor Literally Pardoned a Convicted Killer to Protect Him from Deportation

New York Governor Kathy Hochul has outdone herself. 

At a time when violent crime, illegal immigration, and public safety dominate national concerns, the governor of New York decided her top priority was granting clemency to an illegal immigrant with a manslaughter conviction. 

Yes, you read that correctly. 

Hochul pardoned Somchith Vatthanavong, a 52-year-old illegal immigrant who was convicted as a teenager of killing a man in a Brooklyn pool hall. By offering him a pardon, Hochul effectively cleared the path for him to stay in the United States and avoid deportation.

Vatthanavong shot and killed a man outside that pool hall in 1990. He called it self-defense. The court didn’t buy it. He was convicted of manslaughter and criminal possession of a firearm and served 14 years behind bars. After his release, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement flagged him for removal, as any reasonable person would expect. After all, if you’re not an American citizen and you commit a crime that serious on American soil, deportation seems like an obvious consequence.

But Hochul disagreed. Last month, the governor stepped in with a pardon, which not only eliminated the conviction that triggered his deportation order but also allowed him to reopen his immigration case entirely.

Sleazebag Eric Swalwell Goes Full Unhinged — Says Republicans Should Be “Buried Below the Capitol”

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), best known for his ties to Chinese spy Christine Fang and for humiliating himself on national television, went completely unhinged during an appearance on CNN Newsroom, where he openly fantasized about “burying Republicans below the Capitol.”

During the segment, host Omar Jimenez reminded Swalwell of Michelle Obama’s infamous mantra, “when they go low, we go high.”

But instead of embracing the supposedly lofty ideals Democrats love to preach, Swalwell spat venom.

Omar Jimenez:
Do you have any concern that it seems like ancient history at this point, but obviously, in the earlier Obama years, there was, of course, the old adage that at this point is old: “When they go low, we go high.”

It seems that fighting fire with fire meets them at that low point, I guess, to use that metaphor. Do you have any concern that this could overreach or could backfire?

Eric Swalwell:
No. When they go low, we’re going to bury them below the Capitol. That’s what we’re going to do, because this is about protecting democracy. Right now, as you see, D.C. has been militarized, and we were weak as Democrats, frankly.

Second Video Surfaces of Michigan Democrat City Councilman Allegedly Stuffing Ballots in the Dead of Night

A second surveillance video has emerged showing Hamtramck City Councilman Abu Musa, a Democrat from Wayne County, Michigan, allegedly engaging in late-night ballot-stuffing operations just days before the August primary.

Click on Detroit obtained over 800 hours of surveillance footage through a FOIA request, revealing two disturbing incidents.

In the first video, a black pickup truck pulls up to Hamtramck City Hall in the dead of night.

The footage shows three men inside, including what appears to be Councilman Musa in the backseat, while the driver is aggressively stuffing bundled absentee ballots into the dropbox.

Only four days later, a second clip shows Musa in the passenger seat of a different vehicle, handing over three large stacks of ballots to the driver, who then deposits them into the dropbox, according to Click on Detroit.

Michigan State Police have confirmed that these videos are now part of an active criminal investigation, which is being compiled for potential referral to prosecutors.

Blue State Lawmaker Hit With Corruption Charges

Los Angeles City Councilmember Curren Price, a Democrat, is facing additional corruption charges after new evidence revealed that the city’s housing authority and LA Metro paid Price’s wife more than $800,000.

On Tuesday, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced that two new public corruption charges had been filed against the embattled lawmaker. The latest charges build on the existing case against Price, which has existed since 2023.

In June of that year, he was charged with five felony counts of embezzlement of government funds, three felony counts of perjury and two felony counts of conflict of interest.

Prosecutors allege that Del Richardson & Associates, a company owned solely by Price’s wife, Delbra Pettice Richardson, received payments totaling upwards of $150,000 between 2019 and 2021 from developers who had been green-lit for city contracts by the councilman. Price is also accused of embezzling approximately $33,800 in city funds from 2013-2017 to pay for medical benefits for Richardson, who he falsely claimed was his wife while still legally married to Lynn Suzette Price,” Fox 11 Los Angeles reported.

Price pleaded not guilty to those charges in December 2023 and was released.

JUSTICE DENIED: How a Black Liberal Democrat Is Allegedly Being Discriminated Against by White Liberal Oregon Politicians

Bob Parker deserves justice and he needs our help:  For 37 years liberal white Democrats who have controlled Oregon’s governmental institutions have and are still denying him compensation for the damage the legislature acknowledges (Senate Resolution 22 passed in 2021) he suffered at the hands of politicians, lobbyists, the Oregon Supreme Court and the Oregon State Bar. (Liberal Oregonian columnist Steve Duin details the basics here for background.)

Parker alleges in a letter to US Attorney General Pam Bondi that ‘institutional bias and systemic racism’ exists within the Oregon Department of Justice led by Trump hating Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield and the Department of Administrative Services led by far-left Trump hater Governor Tina Kotek.  Parker asks AG Bondi to have the Civil Rights Division of the DOJ initiate an investigation into these government agencies regarding the alleged bias and racism.

The irony is that Bob Parker is black and a self-described Democrat trained political operative who has been denied compensation for years by white, liberal Democrats in charge of the government, even though that same government including the Oregon Supreme Court now admits he did no wrong.

Imagine that: White Democrat liberals who claim to be the champions of blacks show their true, hypocritical colors when it comes to opening the check book to right a wrong they inflicted on a fellow Democrat, who just happens to be black.

Former Oregon State Representative and Trump supporter Jeff Kropf adds a cover letter to AG Bondi stating that he knows Parker’s story is true and that in his opinion Parker is being discriminated against by Oregon DOJ.

Blue states plan new tax hikes on wealthy residents in response to Trump’s federal tax legislation

Blue states around the U.S. are planning tax hikes on wealthy residents to bring in additional revenue through a variety of proposals, including one state’s so-called “Taylor Swift tax.”

The moves come after the enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) by President Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress, which permanently extended many of the 2017 tax cuts and included other new tax relief provisions as well as spending cuts to programs such as Medicaid.

Democrats argue these tax hike proposals are needed to help plug gaps in state budgets and offset any lost federal dollars for Medicaid and other programs.

The state of Rhode Island enacted a new tax this summer that will impose a special levy on vacation homes valued at $1 million or more, which has become known as the “Taylor Swift tax” due to the music star owning a home in an affluent part of Westerly, Rhode Island, The Wall Street Journal reported.

Rhode Island’s “Taylor Swift tax” imposes a tax of $2.50 for every $500 of assessed value above $1 million, which a Realtor.com analysis estimated would result in an additional $136,000 in property taxes on her luxury home in the Watch Hill neighborhood that’s valued at $17 million.

Montana wants to increase property taxes on non-primary residences, adopting a new reform that will reduce property tax rates for owner-occupied primary homes while hiking the rate to 1.9% for second homes or short-term rentals, with industrial properties also set to face higher levies.

Lawmakers want to provide not only a tax break to about 230,000 homeowners, but incentivize owners of vacation properties or second homes to sell those properties to inject more inventory into a tight real estate market, Realtor.com reported.
