Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego Lied on VA Mortgage Application, Claimed DC as Primary Residence – Kari Lake Calls for Investigation: “Is His Main Residence in DC or Arizona? That is a Crime.”

Kari Lake is calling for accountability for her 2024 Senate opponent, Ruben Gallego, over a $940,000 VA-guaranteed loan for a DC home that he fraudulently secured in 2022 by listing the address as his primary residence.

Kari Lake faced Gallego in the 2024 general election for Arizona’s US Senate seat but lost under mysterious circumstances. Lake also said in a recent interview with The Gateway Pundit, “When we start to dig further into the election fraud that’s been happening for a long time in Arizona, I think there’s gonna be some hell to pay.”

Despite being a Congressman from Arizona at the time, he listed his Washington, DC home and his Phoenix, Arizona Home as primary residences to secure a more favorable interest rate. Gallego abused the Department of Veterans Affairs home loan program, which is designed to make it easier for veterans to buy a home with a lower down payment and a lower interest rate, for use as a primary residence. The loan can only be used for a second home if the home is occupied as a primary residence.

As Politico reported in 2023,

When Arizona Senate candidate Ruben Gallego bought a house near Capitol Hill last year, he claimed the Washington property as his primary residence as part of a special mortgage rate afforded to military veterans.

But Gallego and his wife also say a home they own in Phoenix is their primary residence.

The loan documents for the Washington property, obtained by POLITICO, confirmed he counts D.C. as his primary home even though his campaign maintains he resides in Arizona. Politically, it means the Democratic congressman aiming to take out Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) in a hotly contested race next year may have to explain why he declared he was primarily a resident of the nation’s capital.

Gallego signed terms for a Veterans Affairs-backed loan in which he agreed to “occupy, establish, and use the Property as [the] Borrower’s principal residence within 60 days,” according to the loan document.

In September 2024, Lake highlighted this scandal, while condemning Gallego’s horrendous record, including his involvement in opening a bank for illegal aliens that defaulted and robbed its clients, working for a company that settled for $2.8 million in a medicare fraud investigation, and walking out on his wife when she was nine months pregnant to shack up with a DC lobbyist with whom he had a secret wedding.

Notably, his marriage license with wife Sydney Gallego is also from Washington, DC.

“I actually live in this state. And on federal forms, he said he lives in Washington, DC; that’s his main residence,” Lake said.

Thicko Rep. Jasmine Crockett Says She Only Wants to Deport U.S. Citizens She Considers ‘White Supremacists’

Thicko Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett has her own deportation plan, and it doesn’t involve illegal immigrants.

During an appearance on MSNBC on Saturday, Crockett weighed in on the Trump administration’s ongoing crackdown against the scourge of illegal immigration. 

“Obviously, in Trump’s America, this is exactly what he wants, and the idea that one person can get out of line and commit such a horrific crime as shooting two of our national guardsmen that never ever actually asked to be here.”

”In fact, we know that the young lady that lost her life specifically was saying that this is a waste of time. But now you want to go against every single immigrant.” 

“That doesn’t make sense, and it is frankly not who we are because if that’s the case, let’s talk about the white supremacists and how many of them need to be kicked out of this country.

“I can guarantee you, I can track down more crimes they’ve committed because overall immigrants have a lower crime committal rate than white supremacists. But we don’t wanna talk about that.”

Smith Prosecutors Admitted They Risked Lawsuits To Illegally Grab Senators’ Private Records

In a move that has raised eyebrows among conservatives, special counsel Jack Smith and his team have been revealed to have pursued the phone records of Republican congress members, despite being cautioned about the potential for “litigation risk,” according to internal emails.

As reported by Western Journal, the emails, which were made public on Tuesday by Senators Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, expose the deliberations of prosecutors as they decided which congress members to target with subpoenas. These actions were part of the “Arctic Frost” investigation, which later evolved into Smith’s 2020 election case against then-President Donald Trump.

John Keller, the former head of the Justice Department Public Integrity Section, had warned the prosecutors in a May 2023 email, stating, “As you are aware, there is some litigation risk regarding whether compelled disclosure of toll records of a Member’s legislative calls violates the Speech or Debate Clause in the D.C. Circuit.” Despite this caution, Keller gave the green light for the subpoenas.

The Old State Saloon in Eagle, Idaho, is offering a whole month of free beer to anyone who assists U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in identifying and deporting illegal immigrants from the state.

Old State Saloon added that it “may award multiple months to one person if multiple illegals are deported.”

Additionally, illegal aliens who self-deport will be eligible for one free beer before they go.

“Any illegal who’d like to self deport may have one free beer before ICE responds to Old State Saloon to pick you up,” the bar posted on X.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz Says Trump to Blame For Killing of National Guardsmen, ‘Pretty Disgusting’ He Won’t Accept Responsibility 

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz has said that President Trump is to blame for the assassination of two National Guard members in Washington, D.C.

The two guardsmen were murdered on Wednesday in cold blood just steps away from the White House.

Law enforcement agencies have since confirmed the suspect as 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal.

Lakanwal entered the United States on September 8, 2021, under Biden’s Operation Allies Welcome, following his regime’s disastrous and chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan.

During an interview with CNN on Friday, the Florida Congresswoman said that the president needed to look at the consequences of his own policies rather than

This is a deeply concerning situation, but, you know, it’s one that I think we have to.. it begs the question, would an individual have flown across the country to target law enforcement officers in Washington, D.C.? And, I mean, the answer is likely no.

So why wasn‘t the president‘s first thought, ‘Wow, you know, maybe I should reconsider deploying military troops in the nation‘s capital or in any city?’

Particularly not when they haven‘t coordinated closely with the leadership of these cities and when we have law enforcement that are quite capable of handling the criminal justice issues that are — that we need law enforcement to focus on, and not our military.

I just think, you know, the president looks everywhere except inward to blame his own policies.

We need to make sure that we don‘t have our military deployed in our cities, doing — handling law enforcement responsibilities. And we need to make sure that we address gun violence.

We certainly need to make sure we always have the proper and appropriate and tight, tight vetting processes, and those should be reviewed.

But it‘s never the president‘s fault or his policies when it comes to his reaction, and it’s pretty disgusting.

Pennsylvania Governor Signs Law Banning “Hair Discrimination”

Democrats continue to double down and pander to the woke demographic whenever they see an opportunity.  These gestures are usually designed to virtue signal and rarely have any significance in terms of political change, however, leftists don’t necessarily pass laws or make declarations because a problem actually exists.  Rather, they do these things in order to encourage false perceptions within the populace.

In other words, equality has been a legal fact within the US for decades, but leftists want people to believe racism is a never-ending battle that requires their perpetual activism and government intervention.  The more they demand “equity”, the more division and conflict they end up inciting. 

Democrat Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro insists that racism is an ongoing problem in his state and he has taken bold action to fight back by passing the “CROWN Act”, a law which prohibits discrimination based on a person’s hairstyle, type or texture.

CROWN, which stands for “Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair”, is clearly aimed at placating the black voting base for Democrats in PA and is unlikely to be applied to any other group. 

For example, black female managers wearing wigs and weaves and appropriating white women’s hair styles will never be accused of racism, but a white manager at Taco Bell who fires a black worker for not wearing a hair net properly will probably face civil litigation for discrimination.  Woke laws are meant to create privileges and double standards, not equal protections.  As Shapiro notes:

“Real freedom means being respected for who you are – no matter what you look like, where you come from, who you love, or who you pray to…For too long, many Pennsylvanians have faced discrimination simply for hairstyles that reflect their identity and culture – that ends today…”

“This is going to help people by making sure that, wherever you work, or wherever you’re applying for a job, they can’t look at your hair and size you up – not based on your qualifications and all of the professional development you have and all of your education,” said PA House Speaker Joanna McClinton. “They will not look at your hair and decide you can’t work here. They will not look at your hair and decide you don’t belong in this C-suite. They will not look at your hair and say, ‘you can’t be in the boardroom.’” 

U.S. Rep. La’Tasha D. Mayes, a West Philadelphia native who now represents parts of Pittsburgh, was the lead sponsor on the bill and said the fight will help improve lives across Pennsylvania.  “Hair discrimination has taken confidence from our children, but that ends today,” Mayes said. “Hair discrimination has taken dignity from workers, but that ends today. It has taken access to economic opportunities, hopes and dreams, but that begins to end today.”

Trump’s Afghan Entry Freeze Angers Leftists

President Trump’s immediate freeze on Afghan immigration requests, triggered by an Afghan national’s shooting of two National Guards members in D.C., has ignited anger among leftists decrying it as “collective punishment.”

The move, announced via U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), halts “processing of all immigration requests relating to Afghan nationals… pending further review of security and vetting protocols.”

It comes as a direct response to the attack by a 2021 asylum grantee, underscoring Trump’s push to “reexamine” all Biden-era imports amid zero-fatality hopes for the victims.

Mass immigration advocate Jill Filipovic blasted the move as “collective identity-based punishment and not how any fair processes should work.”

‘Seditious Six’ Scripted Video Appears To Be Part Of Left’s Broader Color Revolution Against Trump

America could use a breather from the Democratic Party’s billionaire-backed dark-money NGO machine, which has spent years running a rolling color-revolution-style campaign against President Trump and anything aligned with America First (one that we’ve coined “invisible insurrection“). 

The pressure campaign is constant: activist fronts sparking orchestrated unrest in places like Los Angeles through the protest-industrial complex, followed by scripted influence operations like the so-called “Seditious Six,” whose latest messaging pressures military and intelligence personnel to “refuse illegal orders” – without saying what illegal orders. 

The bigger picture is very alarming: It’s all part of a coordinated effort to delegitimize the Trump administration and America First movement and to keep the country in a state of manufactured chaos with aims for regime change. 

Remember weeks ago when Jennica Pounds, also known as “DataRepublican,” peeled back the layers of what appears to be the interworkings of at least one color-revolution-style operation orchestrated by Democrats, nonprofit groups, ex-USAID employees, and leftist billionaires to undermine and destabilize President Trump’s MAGA from within.

Democrats Sue Over Cut to SNAP Benefits for Non-Citizens and Illegals

Nearly half of all households with noncitizen parents are accessing federal benefits, a category that includes both legal and illegal immigrants. The Trump administration is trying to end these programs, but Democrats are pushing back.

Democratic attorneys general from 21 states and Washington, D.C., have filed a federal lawsuit challenging new USDA guidance that they say unlawfully restricts legal immigrants’ access to SNAP benefits. The lawsuit, filed in Eugene, Oregon, argues that USDA misinterpreted President Trump’s July tax-and-spending law, which narrowed eligibility for some immigrants but still allows green-card holders to apply for food aid after a five-year waiting period.

State officials say the guidance issued on October 31 went beyond the statute by declaring lawful permanent residents who previously held refugee, asylum, or humanitarian parole status permanently ineligible for SNAP. They contend the law allows these groups to receive benefits once they adjust to permanent resident status and meet standard program requirements.

The attorneys general are asking the court to block the guidance, saying it reverses long-standing policy without a reasoned explanation and violates administrative law. They warn that states could face severe financial penalties for noncompliance, with some suggesting that their SNAP programs could be forced to shut down. They also note that USDA did not provide the required 120-day transition period, leaving states to overhaul eligibility systems immediately.

A White House spokesperson said the administration is committed to ensuring that illegal aliens do not receive benefits intended for citizens. SNAP, which serves about 42 million low-income Americans, has been at the center of several legal disputes in recent years, including battles following the lapse in benefits during the recent government shutdown. According to USDA data, refugees made up roughly 1 percent of SNAP recipients in 2023, while other non-citizens, including lawful permanent residents, accounted for about 3 percent.

However, those USDA claims severely undercut the actual number of noncitizens receiving SNAP and other benefits. USDA data from fiscal year 2022 shows that 1.465 million noncitizens received SNAP benefits, with an additional 2.2 million children living in households with noncitizens also participating in the program. These recipients include lawful permanent residents, refugees, asylees, individuals granted stays of deportation, and others. They collected a total of $4.2 billion in benefits. USDA notes that illegal aliens are not eligible for SNAP but may reside in households where other family members qualify.

Democratic Senator Appears to Threaten Military Amid Mark Kelly Investigation: ‘There Will Be Consequences’

One wonders: Have the Democrats thought this through? Do they have an endgame?

Either way, their reckless rhetoric can only lead to a dark place — as it has already.

Monday on CNN’s “The Arena with Kasie Hunt,” Democratic Sen. Ruben Gallego of Arizona appeared to threaten “consequences” for military service members who take part in a potential court-martial of his colleague, Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona.

In a clip posted to the social media platform X, host Kasie Hunt asked Gallego about his “level of trust in the U.S. military justice system,” to which the senator, with shocking brazenness, replied that service members need to remember that President Donald Trump will not be around to protect them forever.

“I trust them, actually, a lot,” Gallego began.

That sounded like a compliment, of course. But if you listen closely, you will hear the Democrats’ seditious anti-Trump message embedded in the senator’s response.

“These are professionals,” Gallego said moments later. ‘They are also swearing to the Constitution of the United States. They know that there will be fallout and consequences if they are used in a hard way to basically railroad someone like Senator Kelly, ’cause Donald Trump’s gonna be gone in a couple years.”

What a slimy way to insinuate that Trump either has or will give orders at odds with the Constitution.

“And if you’re part of the military that’s going after sitting senators, sitting members of Congress, and part of the weaponization of government,” Gallego continued, “there will be consequences, without a doubt.”

Incredibly, Gallego then predicted that officers who participate in a potential Kelly tribunal would be “looking over their shoulders because they know that Donald Trump will be gone and they will not have that protection there, and they’re gonna have to do the safest thing possible, which is follow the Constitution of the United States, and you’ll be fine.”
