Rep. Jasmine Crockett Raises Eyebrows Online After Making a Shocking Claim About What Republicans Think About Her

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) went viral again last week after making a stunning claim about Republicans she meets in person.

As TGP readers know, Crockett is regularly roasted online by the right for her numerous bizarre and racist statements, radical positions, and violent behavior. One would think that Republicans not on social media would have a similar negative view.

But during an interview last week with disgraced former CNN hack Jim Acosta, Crockett essentially said that the Internet is not real life and further raised eyebrows after making this surprising remark:

“Republicans poll all the time, and I have no idea what is happening in their polling, but I can tell you that they approach me as they see me out and say, ‘Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I really like you.’”

Crockett went on to say that Republicans also tell her they believe she is fighting for the people and doing “what is best for all of us.” She concluded that this is all scary for Republicans.

Upon seeing her remarks, conservatives were understandably dumbfounded and extremely skeptical.

Disgraced D**k Pic Pedo Democrat Anthony Weiner Joins “The View” To Claim He’s No Longer A Sex Addict & Launch A Political Comeback

Former Democrat Congressman Anthony Weiner, who resigned from Congress in 2011 after being caught sending sexual images to a 15-year-old girl (who remarkably resembled Texas GOP Senator Ted Cruz), joined ABC’s “The View” on Friday to try and help relaunch his failed political career.

“The View” host Anna Navarro mentioned Weiner’s repeated “sexting” scandals where he used the alias Carlos Danger, including the nude images he sent to and requested from a minor in 2016.

After citing his despicable pedophilic sex crimes and pointing out he was forced to register as a sex offender, Navarro asked Weiner, “Why should New Yorkers give you a chance at a political comeback?”

Weiner is currently running for a seat in the New York City Council in the 2025 election.

The longtime Clinton insider and former Democrat politician acknowledged his shady past and told the audience he doesn’t try to play victim or claim to be politically persecuted like “Donald Trump, Andrew Cuomo or Eric Adams” have done.

He explained, “I didn’t ask for a trial, I pled guilty, served my time in prison, served in a halfway house, served probation, went to try to do good work for the formerly incarcerated.”

Weiner then suggested people vote for him BECAUSE he committed atrocious sex crimes and is now allegedly “cured” of his addiction, saying, “I guess what I’m saying to people is, maybe don’t vote for me in spite of what they know about me, but maybe consider that journey, that idea that we all go through things and we come out the other side.”

Next, the Democrat noted the fact that he’s Jewish and told viewers that his troubled past is “not a good enough reason” to not vote for him when he runs for public office again.

“All I can ever be is who I am right now, and that brought me to this space,” he said, eliciting applause from the in-studio audience.

Earlier this week, the disgraced former congressman was confronted in New York by a man calling him a “pedophile” and questioning him about the “Clinton Body count.”

Weiner ignored the allegations waged at him and instead asked the man filming if he wanted to be added to the Clinton body count, which was clearly a death threat from the powerful and well-connected Democrat.

Democrats’ inexcusable cover-up of Biden’s decline — and possible cancer

The American people have a right to know about the health and mental status of the president of the United States. For goodness’ sake, “physician to the president” is an official position. Whoever is in that position should be required by law to reveal to us if the commander in chief has a medical emergency, is diagnosed with a terminal illness or is otherwise incapable of fulfilling the oath of office.

We learned that former President Biden has an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones. Tonette and I offer our prayers for his recovery; we feel badly for him and his family. However, that should not stop discussions about the cover-up of his cognitive lapses while in office. If anything, the news warrants an even more extensive investigation into what was known about Mr. Biden’s health and well-being while he was president.

Sadly, it is not shocking to learn that the White House staff might have concealed the cancer diagnosis until after Mr. Biden’s term was up. Remember, this is the same administration in which the secretary of defense was incapacitated in the hospital following complications from cancer treatment and failed to notify the president or anyone in the White House.

Plus, the timing seems odd. The Bidens chose to reveal the cancer diagnosis just as CNN anchor Jake Tapper’s new book on the cover-up of the former president’s cognitive decline came out. I empathize with Mr. Biden, but things just do not add up. Members of the House and Senate should hold committee hearings and subpoena Mr. Biden’s physician, Kevin O’Connor. The good doctor needs to provide some clear answers.

None of this, however, should cloud our disdain for a media that is now acting shocked to find out about the cognitive decline of Mr. Biden. Mr. Tapper appeared on Megyn Kelly’s podcast as part of his book tour and was surprised when Ms. Kelly called him out for being part of the cover-up. He begged off until she responded with footage from his show and said, “One of us didn’t miss the biggest story of the century when it comes to presidential politics, and one of us did.”

Mr. Tapper’s book is filled with disturbing stories about the then-president’s state of mind. He writes of George Clooney greeting Mr. Biden on the way into a mega fundraiser the actor was co-hosting for Mr. Biden’s reelection. In the story, Mr. Biden appears not to recognize the well-known star. Later, Mr. Clooney was one of the first to publicly call for Mr. Biden to drop out after the disastrous June debate with President Trump.

The Washington media elite act as if they did some sort of Woodward and Bernstein-level work to uncover the truth about Mr. Biden’s problems. Instead, it’s been more like watching “Dave” or “Weekend at Bernie’s.”

Conservatives on talk radio, podcasts and social media have been discussing these problems for years. Most in the corporate media sought to dismiss or even attack our concerns. Until Mr. Biden’s disastrous performance on the debate stage last June made it impossible to overlook, most of the mainstream media were all in for Joe.

Three Judges Blocking Trump’s Tariffs Have Decades-Long Histories of Democrat Activism

The judges on the U.S. Court of International Trade who ruled that President Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs are illegal have a history of Democrat Party activism.

Each of the members of the three-judge panel issuing the Wednesday ruling – which was stayed Thursday by an appeals court, allowing the tariffs to continue – fit the profile of other activists judges who continued their political activism after joining the court.

Judges Gary Katzmann, Timothy Reif, and Jane Restani have histories of supporting Democrat candidates that span as far back as 45 years ago and have thwarted Trump’s authority in both of his administrations, earning allegations of judicial activism.

Trump teed off on the judges Thursday night on Truth Social. “Where do these initial three Judges come from?” he asked. “How is it possible for them to have potentially done such damage to the United States of America? Is it purely a hatred of “TRUMP?” What other reason could it be?”

Katzmann, nominated by Barack Obama in 2015, attended Columbia, Oxford, and Yale Law School and later clerked for Stephen Breyer (while Breyer was on the First Circuit Court of Appeals). He was a researcher at the Center for Criminal Justice at Harvard Law School as well as a lecturer at Harvard Law School.

Although Katzmann is a registered unaffiliated voter in Massachusetts, he voted in the 2018, 2016, and 2014 Democrat primaries.

Democrats and Their DEI Albatrosses

Afew Democrat officeholders, activists, and pundits are finally coming to their senses that their brand is toxic to a majority of the American people.

The Biden administration killed what was left of it in a number of ways.

First, it serially lied to Americans about the cognitive decline and cancerous condition of President Joe Biden, both while in and after office.

Only when caught did the complicit media fess up that the Biden inner circle serially misled the American people about Biden’s inability to fulfill the duties of the presidency.

Second, left-wing politicos used Biden as a waxen effigy. His job was to pose as a “moderate” cover to push through the most radical and unpopular agenda in the last half century.

Only that way could “Old Joe Biden from Scranton” and his backroom handlers ram down the throat of the American people unpopular policies that nearly wrecked the country: hyperinflation and $7 trillion in new debt, weaponization of the government, and partisan lawfare, an open border and 12 million illegal aliens, a racialist DEI commissariat, a crackpot Green New Deal, defunding the police, biological men competing in girls’ sports, and two theater-wide wars abroad.

Third, without either a functional president or viable initiatives, the new hard-left Democrats sought to brand Donald Trump as “Hitler” and half the country who supported him as “fascists.”

For nearly nine years, the Democrats launched one failed hoax after another on the American people: “Russian collusion,” “laptop disinformation,” and the lying so-called “51 intelligence authorities.” They proved quite willing to undermine the rule of law by manipulating the court system in efforts to destroy their bogeyman, Donald Trump.

Never had the American people seen a political party engineer 93 bogus indictments of a rival candidate and ex-president. Two dozen states tried to take Trump off their presidential ballots. And the Biden Department of Justice sicced an FBI SWAT team to barge into Trump’s home.

The people finally got tired of all the potty-mouthed Democrat videos, the congressional stunts and meltdowns, the pampered rich kids rioting on elite campuses, the knee-jerk obsessions with racial slurs, the firebombing of Tesla dealerships, the romanticization of left-wing political murderers—and always the adolescent tantrums over Donald Trump.

The Democrats had mostly given up on democracy some 13 years ago. That was the last time they transparently and democratically nominated Barack Obama a second time as their presidential candidate.

Ever since, their nominations have been rigged.

In 2020, party insiders—terrified of the left-wing crazy primary field—forced out all the leading contenders.

Then they coronated the debilitated but still supposedly useful moderate Joe Biden as their COVID-era candidate. Biden then bragged that he would pick his vice president on the basis of race and gender.

What followed was the most bizarre campaign in history.

Obese Democrat Activist Gives Crazy Thoughts on Why Young Men Are Ditching Her Party – Then She Freaks Out After Getting Savagely Mocked By Conservatives

One of the keys to President Trump’s landslide victory last November was making significant inroads with young adult men, who embraced his macho persona and ditched the woke Democratic Party. But now the Democrats have an ‘ace’ up their sleeve to rectify this crisis: a morbidly obese, gay, radical-left activist who has no clue what young males actually think, and conservatives know it.

During an interview with podcast host Micah Efren on Tuesday, 22-year-old Olivia Julianna gave her ‘thoughts’ on why Democrats have lost these voters and how to win them back. She started by proclaiming her love for men, particularly frat guys, before completely botching what they believe.

“You know this because we know each other in real life, but I spend a lot of time on college campuses, Julianna said. “I love young men, I love frat guys, and in that, I realize, even the ones who identify as conservative are almost always pro-choice. They’re almost always pro-gay marriage. You’d be surprised at the number of them who supported Black Lives Matter.

“I feel like people kind of just lump them into this box when the truth is, again, a lot of them are with us on the issues. They’re just not part of our coalition because they feel like they’re not welcome,” she added.

As Outkick.com notes, men, especially conservative ones, largely oppose BLM. Men are also split on abortion, with GOP males overwhelmingly opposing it across all age groups.

But Julianna thinks young men are actually woke and don’t know it. How crazy is that?

Trump’s Useful Idiots

The media, universities, the Democratic Party and liberals, by embracing the fiction of “rampant antisemitism,” laid the groundwork for their own demise.

Columbia and Princeton, where I have taught, and Harvard, which I attended, are not incubators of hatred towards Jews.

The New York Times, where I worked for 15 years and which Trump calls “an enemy of the people,” is slavishly subservient to the Zionist narrative. What these institutions have in common is not antisemitism, but liberalism. And liberalism, with its creed of pluralism and inclusiveness, is slated by our authoritarian regime for obliteration.

The conflation of outrage over the genocide with antisemitism is a sleazy tactic to silence protest and placate Zionist donors, the billionaire class and advertisers.

These liberal institutions, weaponizing antisemitism, aggressively silenced and expelled critics, banned student groups such as Jewish Voice for Peace and Students for Justice in Palestine, allowed police to make hundreds of arrests of peaceful protests on campuses, purged professors and groveled before Congress.

Use the words “apartheid”’ and “genocide”’ and you are fired or excoriated.

Zionist Jews, in this fictional narrative, are the oppressed. Jews who protest the genocide are slandered as Hamas stooges and punished. Good Jews. Bad Jews. One group deserves protection. The other deserves to be thrown to the wolves. This odious bifurcation exposes the charade.

In April 2024, Columbia University President Minouche Shafik, along with two board members and a law professor, testified before the U.S. House of Representatives’ education committee. They accepted the premise that antisemitism was a significant problem at Columbia and other higher education institutions.

When Co-Chair of the Board of Trustees of Columbia University David Greenwald and others told the committee that they believed  “from the river to the sea” and “long live the intifada” were antisemitic statements, Shafik agreed. She threw students and faculty under the bus, including long-time professor Joseph Massad.

The day after the hearings, Shafik suspended all the students at the Columbia protests and called in the New York City Police Department (NYPD), who arrested at least 108 students.

“I have determined that the encampment and related disruptions pose a clear and present danger to the substantial functioning of the University,” Shafik wrote in her letter to the police.

NYPD Chief John Chell, however, told the press, “the students that were arrested were peaceful, offered no resistance whatsoever, and were saying what they wanted to say in a peaceful manner.”

There Is Nothing Democrats Will Not Ruin

Is there a place in the country better off because Democrats have control over the local or state government? I mean, I guess if your hobby is getting pregnant so you can have an abortion, living in Chicago or Boston is a plus, but not if you’re a fan of things like not being robbed or shot. Otherwise, only slumlords and progressive “organizers” thrive in a world controlled by the left. And if you want to get your kid an education, forget about it. There is nothing Democrats can’t ruin, and there is nothing even potentially good they will not ruin.

You’ve all heard about “equity,” Democrats present the word like it’s the cure for something, anything. They pretend it is about opportunity when it is about outcomes. Democrats want to dictate outcomes – pick winners and losers, rewarding their donors while ignoring their voters, whom they take for granted. OJ Simpson treated women better than Democrats treat their voters. 

But hey, they keep voting for Democrats, so why be effective when you don’t have to be? 

Back to equity. 

San Francisco, the progressive Petri dish from which so many bad ideas spring, is implementing “equitable grading” in their schools. Why? Because minority students are not doing as well as Asian students, who are also minorities. (As an aside, it always cracks me up when Democrats talk about how racist the country is; they whine about how well Asians and Indians are doing. Are we racist or not? Because if we were, why are two minorities out-earning evil whitey?)

What is “equitable grading”? It is a scheme to cover up just how badly Democrats have screwed up the education system in their cities by lowering standards for grades. As I always say, if you control the unit of measure, you control everything. If you can change what constitutes a passing grade, you will have a higher passing rate without improving the education of a single student. 

The Voice of San Francisco reports, “Without seeking approval of the San Francisco Board of Education, Superintendent of Schools Maria Su plans to unveil a new Grading for Equity plan.” There is no input from anyone, just a top-down imposition. It’s how the party of “This is what democracy looks like” operates.

Liberal Outlet Politico Urges Democrats to Create a ‘Shadow Cabinet’ to Counter Trump – Suggestions Include John Fetterman’s Wife

The progressive outlet Politico is urging Democrats to create a ‘shadow cabinet’ to fight Trump. Perhaps they haven’t heard, but the chair of the DNC announced that they’re already doing that. He said so back in April.

Remember when Democrats and the media claimed to care about saving our precious norms? What do they call this?

The only difference between Politico’s plan and the one the DNC chair already announced is who will be featured in this unconstitutional body.

From Politico:

As Democrats cast about for a strategy to thwart President Donald Trump’s agenda, rebrand their party and take back power, Sen. Elissa Slotkin recently offered one intriguing idea: Build a shadow Cabinet.

The shadow Cabinet, as envisioned by the Michigan Democrat in an interview with POLITICO, could be composed of the ranking members of congressional committees who could then take the lead in challenging the Trump administration. It’s a common feature of opposition politics abroad and could be a way for Democrats to flood the media zone and deliver a coordinated response to Trump’s most wild maneuvers. But … ranking members?

Ranking members have their uses. They’re good at reclaiming their time and making motions to recommit. But they are not the fresh faces who can give the Democratic Party a sleek new look.

Nor are the thirsty crop of presidential wannabes right for a shadow Cabinet. Everything they say would be parsed for self-serving motivation, distracting from the party’s broader task at hand.

Here are some of the names they float:

Samantha Power – SHADOW SECRETARY OF STATE

Letitia James – SHADOW ATTORNEY GENERAL

Jon Stewart – SHADOW SECRETARY OF VETERANS AFFAIRS

Gisele Fetterman – SHADOW SECRETARY OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Bill Nye – SHADOW ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY ADMINISTRATOR

Didn’t we just go through this?

Democrats Hate that New Bill Requires People to Work for Benefits

President Trump’s new budget proposal, the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” is already drawing fire from Democrats, who claim it robs the poor to enrich the wealthy. In reality, the bill delivers substantial tax relief for working families, without handing out money to the rich. It also introduces a simple requirement: some individuals receiving government benefits will need to work in order to qualify.

Critics claim that over 13 million people will lose Medicaid coverage under the new bill. But that figure is cumulative over ten years, not immediate. The bill doesn’t “take healthcare away from the poor”; it raises the bar for eligibility. Able-bodied adults under 65 will be required to complete a minimum number of hours each month in employment, job training, education, or, in some cases, community service to qualify for certain benefits. This requirement does not apply to the vulnerable, children, the elderly, pregnant women, the disabled, or full-time caregivers of young children are all exempt.

Importantly, those affected aren’t being denied care; they’re losing access to free, government-funded coverage under Medicaid due to updated qualifications. Many are expected to return to work and obtain insurance through employers or private plans. Others may requalify and reapply as their circumstances change.

Trump’s big sin here is requiring a portion of recipients to work for the benefits they receive. And Democrats hate any system where people are expected to earn their handouts.

Supporters of work requirements argue that they promote personal responsibility, encourage economic independence, and help control long-term government spending. They also reflect a widely held belief that public aid should be tied to effort, not handed out unconditionally.

Critics counter that such requirements create administrative hurdles that could cause eligible individuals to lose benefits. However, this is a non-issue. If someone qualifies, they will receive aid; if they don’t, they won’t. It’s that simple. If a bureaucratic glitch prevents them from getting their benefits, they can go down to the office, fill out the necessary forms, and request the aid be reinstated.

That shouldn’t be too difficult, after all, they’re not tied up at an office job all day.
