Report: Jasmine Crockett Event Escorts Atlantic Reporter Out, Campaign Called Capitol Police on CNN Journalist

National media coverage of Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s Texas Senate campaign has led to direct confrontations with journalists, including the removal of an Atlantic reporter from a rally and a call to Capitol Police over a CNN reporter’s visit to a campaign office.

Semafor shared that security personnel directed Atlantic reporter Elaine Godfrey to leave a campaign rally for Rep. Jasmine Crockett in Texas on Monday. The outlet wrote that Godfrey has reported on Crockett in depth and that the coverage appeared to “frustrate” the congresswoman. Crockett had previously agreed to participate in a profile with the reporter last year, but later informed her that she was “shutting down the profile and revoking all provisions” before the story ran.

In a statement first shared with Semafor, Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg remarked, “In a democracy, elected officials answer questions from the press rather than hide from them. This is completely unacceptable behavior by Rep. Crockett and her team, and needs to be addressed immediately.” 

Semafor further noted that earlier this month Crockett’s campaign contacted the U.S. Capitol Police regarding CNN reporter Edward-Isaac Dovere, asserting he may have trespassed while attempting to visit a campaign office location. 

The developments raise broader questions about transparency and accountability given that Crockett is an elected official.  In December, after launching her Senate campaign, Crockett dodged questions during a CNN interview about her 2024 comments comparing Latino Trump supporters to slaves. When asked whether she believed Latino Trump voters had a “slave mentality,” she said that was not what the remarks meant but did not directly answer whether she stood by the comparison, instead arguing that some voters did not believe they were getting the policies they expected. 

The reported incidents also come as a recent poll found Crockett leading Talarico 56 percent to 44 percent, a 12-point advantage.

Democratic strategist James Carville expressed on the Politicon podcast that Crockett “violates the first rule of politics,” arguing that “in politics we always make it about the voters and never about yourself.” He added, “You listen to her talk. It’s a lot more about herself than it is to voters.” Carville further explained, “What wins elections is not sitting there talking about yourself,” and said winning elections is about “being part of framing issues and understanding where people are coming from,” concluding, “I don’t think Congressman Crockett is very good at that. I’ll be very frank.”

Report: U.S. Attorney Pirro’s Office Halts Case Against Democrats Who Encouraged Military Disobedience

U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro’s office is allegedly halting a case against several Democrats who took part in a video and encouraged military members to disobey orders, according to a report.

“Three people familiar with the matter” reportedly told NBC News that Pirro’s office “decided to stop pursuing the case” against Sens. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ), and Reps. Chris Deluzio (D-PA), Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA), Maggie Goodlander (D-NH), and Jason Crow (D-CO).

The decision reportedly comes after a “federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., unanimously rejected an attempt by Pirro” to have the Democrat lawmakers indicted for their roles in a video in which they encouraged military members to disobey orders, according to the outlet:

Roughly two weeks ago, as first reported by NBC News, a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., unanimously rejected an attempt by Pirro, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, to indict lawmakers over the video, illustrating that grand jurors didn’t think the government had passed even the low legal threshold of probable cause required to bring an indictment.

While a potential case against the six lawmakers is now considered dead in Washington, that decision wouldn’t necessarily bar a federal prosecutor from trying to bring a case in a different federal court district, though there have been no public indications that will happen.

Breitbart News reported in November that President Donald Trump had initially responded to the video, labeling the lawmakers as “traitors” and stating that they “should be in jail.”

“THE TRAITORS THAT TOLD THE MILITARY TO DISOBEY MY ORDERS SHOULD BE IN JAIL RIGHT NOW, NOT ROAMING THE FAKE NEWS NETWORKS TRYING TO EXPLAIN THAT WHAT THEY SAID WAS OK. IT WASN’T, AND NEVER WILL BE! IT WAS SEDITION AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL, AND SEDITION IS A MAJOR CRIME. THERE CAN BE NO OTHER INTERPRETATION OF WHAT THEY SAID!” Trump said in a Truth Social post at the time.

In the video at the time, the Democrat lawmakers claimed that the Trump administration was “pitting” military service members and “intelligence community professionals” against U.S. citizens.

“Our laws are clear, you can refuse illegal orders,” Kelly can be heard saying in the video.

Slotkin also states in the video: “You can refuse illegal orders.”

“You Killed Americans!” – Ilhan Omar Loses It, Screams at President Trump During SOTU Speech 

Muslima Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) shouted at President Trump during his State of the Union Address on Tuesday evening.

The camera panned over to Ilhan Omar as President Trump called out Somali pirates and fraud rings in Minnesota.

Omar was on the verge of tears as President Trump called out Somalia for its corruption.

“If you agree with this statement, stand up to show your support: The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens,” Trump said.

Republicans stood up and cheered while many Democrats remained seated.

President Trump lambasted the Democrats for refusing to stand for protecting American citizens.

“[Democrats] are blocking the removal of [illegal alien drug lords and rapists] out of our country and you should be ashamed of yourselves!” Trump said.

“You have killed Americans!” Omar shouted.

“You should be ashamed!” Omar added.

Fellow squad member Rashida Tlaib also joined Ilhan Omar and shouted at President Trump.

DISGUSTING: Democrat Ro Khanna Is Bringing Epstein Recruiter to the SOTU Address Tonight – His Guest Recruited Over 20 Underage Girls for Epstein

Rep. Ro Khanna proudly released video today of himself with Haley Robson, an Epstein recruiter and survivor.

Haley recruited over 20 girls for Jeffrey Epstein.

Maybe this was not the best choice for Rep. Khanna?

FOX News reported:

Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., is bringing a guest to the State of the Union who, at 16-years-old, started helping introduce Jeffrey Epstein to underage girls in the early 2000s after having been exploited by the disgraced financier herself as a minor.

Haley Robson was pressured by Epstein to recruit six other underage girls to perform sexual acts after meeting him in 2003, according to 2006 police documents. After initially resisting his sexual advances, Epstein told her to find him other girls he could use. Robson told police she was paid $200 for each time she brought a contact to Epstein’s home and told police “I’m like Heidi Fleiss,” referring to the American madam known for operating a prostitution ring in Hollywood.

Robson described her relationship with Epstein as part of a Netflix documentary series on Epstein, acknowledging that it had taken her over two years to escape from under his influence.

“I would recruit girls who were friends. I would casually bring it up, and we would drive together to his house. I would take them to his room and then I’d walk out. Sometimes I would wait by the pool. When the girls would leave, Jeffrey would come out and pay me. I probably recruited 24 girls. Those girls brought other girls too. They were all underage,” Robson told interviewers.

Wait, That’s What Set Off Libs About Abigail Spanberger’s SOTU Response? You’re Gonna Laugh at This.

Virginia Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger is set to deliver the State of the Union response tonight. Scratch that—it’ll likely be early Wednesday morning. President Trump is set to deliver one of the longest addresses of this nature ever. It’s going to be one for the history books. If Trump, who is known to go off-script, says this is going to be long, it’s going to be long.  

You don’t want to be the person selected to deliver the rebuttal at the State of the Union. No one cares, no one is watching, and in this case, no one literally won’t be watching. Yet, the Left is already having a tantrum on Bluesky because Spanberger will be delivering her remarks from Colonial Williamsburg.

These people are unserious and impossible to speak to, lost in their self-riotousness, drowning in arrogance, and so ignorant that they render everything incomprehensible with their random tangents that go nowhere. It’s truly an odyssey into who can come off as a bigger idiot who feigns academic bona fides.

Democrats Are Obsessed With White Men

You can’t turn around these days without seeing some leftist somewhere whining about white men. As a white man, it seems like every Democrat is an obsessed stalker – it’s enough to make us want to take out a restraining order. I speak for all white men in this piece because, after watching a week’s worth of fawning coverage of the death of Jesse Jackson that glossed over or ignored his racism, affair (oh, the stories I’ve heard) and grifting, I remembered who he simply appointed himself a “leader” and the corporate media crowned him the spokesman for black people, so I’ll take the job for whitey for today.

What is the obsession the left has with us? It’s flattering, I suppose. We’ve done pretty well, though you never know it from the way Democrats talk about us. We created democracy, pretty much all the rights everyone enjoys and all the concepts behind them, in one way or another. Literally all the technology Democrats use to complain about us – television, computers, internet, print, etc. Hell, even the languages most liberals speak. We don’t sit around and demand everyone rub our feet over the endless list of things we’ve created and/or made better, but not being screamed at for the penis envy of bigots isn’t too much to ask.

But there’s no money in honesty with Democrats; bigotry pays well on the left and victimhood is their Bitcoin.

Bigot trash and child of criminal immigrants, Wajahat Ali, hates white men and can’t stop talking about us. Maybe he blames us for his corrupt parents and their role in the fraud scheme that got them sent to prison? He’s mad about it, rather than at them for their role in it – can’t really blame him, how wants to believe the worst about their parents? But we didn’t have anything to do with it.

Ali was whining to fellow bigot Joy Reid about us, “The fragility of mediocre, terrified white men is destroying America.” We’ve done pretty well for “mediocre, terrified” people, considering all we’ve accomplished. The enlightenment alone would be enough for us to rest on the way our subset of Greeks basically rest on creating democracy and feta cheese, but we didn’t.

CNN Finally Admits the Truth About Democrat-Run Cities

CNN’s Fareed Zakaria went off-script this week — at least by his network’s standards — and said the quiet part out loud: Democrat-run cities are a mess, and the politicians in charge either can’t or won’t do anything about it.

Of course, this isn’t news to you, but for a CNN host to admit this is a big deal.

Zakaria opened with Zohran Mamdani’s New York, calling it “a prime example of a problem Democrats seem unwilling to confront.” That’s a pretty remarkable admission from a CNN host, but I assure you, he was just getting started.

“Blue cities are out of control,” he said, “promising more, spending more, delivering less, and pushing off the fiscal problems to some future day.”

He then turned to Los Angeles, and the numbers he cited are staggering. Zakaria noted that the city’s homelessness budget for fiscal year 2025-2026 alone totals roughly $950 million. Not the cumulative total over several years. One year. And what has all that money bought? He explained that the LA Homelessness Services Authority reported that homelessness increased by 9% countywide and 10% within the city in 2023. A 2024 AP account found that homelessness had surged by 70% countywide since 2015 and by 80% within the city.

“All this amid public frustration, despite billions spent,” Zakaria said.

Then came perhaps the most damning detail. An audit reviewed $2.4 billion in city homelessness funding and found that “officials could not reliably track where it went or what it achieved.” That’s right. $2.4 billion has just disappeared into the bureaucratic ether. 

To make matters worse, not only are there never results, but there’s never any accountability either, at least not for the people running the city.

Deranged Dem Rep Calls WHOLE MILK Campaign ‘White Supremacy Dog Whistling’

Democrats have taken their obsession with labeling everything racist to new heights, now targeting the push for whole milk in schools as a secret signal to extremists.

Rep. Maxine Dexter, a Democrat from Oregon, unleashed the claim during a public event, tying the MAHA campaign—Make America Healthy Again—to supposed far-right agendas.

In footage from the event at Wyeast, Dexter stated that the MAHA campaign to drink whole milk is “white supremacy dog whistling.”

This comes just weeks after NYU professor Arthur Caplan sparked outrage by declaring milk racist.

Caplan linked whole milk to fascist regimes and white nationalists, also warning it was a “dog whistle” to the alt-right.

Dexter’s remarks echo that paranoia, showing how leftists continue to twist commonsense health policies into divisive conspiracies.

The Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act, signed by President Trump, restored nutrient-rich whole milk to school lunches after its removal under Obama-era rules. 

Backed by bipartisan support, including figures like Dr. Ben Carson and Sen. John Fetterman, the law prioritizes kids’ nutrition over outdated low-fat mandates.

Yet Democrats persist in smearing it, revealing their disconnect from everyday American priorities.

Public reaction poured in, with users exposing the lunacy.

More Christians Killed in Nigeria as Media and Democrats Deny Genocide

If mainstream media and American Democrats and liberals are correct that the mass killing of Christians in Nigeria is merely a conflict over grazing land rather than a genocide, then why are so many Christians not only being killed but also abducted? Abduction has never been a defining feature of disputes between herders and farmers in other countries.

In the past twenty-four hours, more reports of the slaughter of Christians in Nigeria have emerged. Priests and laypeople on the ground are posting videos and impassioned cries for help on social media.

Al Jazeera has said Christian genocide is a myth, while mainstream U.S. media have described it as a Republican conspiracy theory and lies made up by President Trump.

Apparently, people in Nigeria have fallen so deeply for Republican lies that they mistakenly believe their own families and parishioners are being killed.

On Thursday, February 19, an armed group invaded the Tungan Duste community in Anka Local Government Area. Although the attack occurred late last week, casualty figures were officially confirmed by police on Monday, February 23.

Thirty-eight people were killed, and numerous residents, primarily women and children, were abducted. Police stated they had prior intelligence about the attack, but were unable to reach the area in time due to poor road access.

Simultaneous attacks also took place late last week in Kebbi State, with official reports and statements from the African Union released over the last 48 hours, February 22–23. Thirty-three people were killed in those raids.

In Taraba State, particularly in Mchia and Donga, reports emerging as of February 23 describe a worsening crisis in the southern region. Ten people were killed in a recent massacre in the village of Mchia.

Church leaders from the Wukari Diocese held a press briefing on February 18, calling for an end to the ongoing attacks on Christians by Fulani militias.

They also released a separate statement detailing that more than 100 people have been killed in the region since early February and that over 200 communities and churches have been destroyed.

Colorado Bill Would Take Kids Away From Parents Who Refuse To Trans Them

Colorado’s Democrat state legislators want to force transgenderism on parents, requiring them to affirm their child’s “gender identity” or risk losing custody.

Radical lawmakers introduced “Concerning Legal Protections for The Dignity of a Minor” (SB 26-018) on Jan. 14, and the Senate Judiciary Committee passed the bill, referring it to the full Senate on Feb. 18.

In its intended form, the bill requires courts to consider whether parents embrace their child’s “gender identity” when determining custody. Courts must favor parents who support their child’s “preferred name and pronouns” and push their child to receive harmful and damaging “transgender” drugs, hormones, and surgeries.

The bill states courts must “consider whether the parties recognize the child’s identity as it relates to a protected class” when “determining parenting time and the allocation of decision-making responsibility.”

Defining the “protected classes,” the bill references the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act, which includes individual’s “sexual orientation” and “gender identity.”

Kids Removed from Parents

While the bill seeks to regulate custody disputes, it also opens the door for courts or child protective services to remove transgender-identified kids from the custody of parents who believe in biological reality and don’t want to irreversibly harm their child with drugs and surgeries.

SB 26-018 would establish “de jure” what is already happening in Colorado and in other states around the country —  even in red states like Indiana, Montana, Texas, and Arizona.

When Krista and Todd Kolstad’s 14-year-old daughter landed in a Montana hospital for suicidal thoughts, her parents had no idea she would soon be taken from them. After the Kolstads’ daughter revealed her desire to “change genders,” Montana Child and Family Services removed her from their custody and relocated her to a treatment facility in Wyoming focused on “gender therapy.”

“They have a complete agenda. We have no voice, no voice in court,” Todd said. “They just gag ordered us and threatened jail time.”

Likewise, Mary and Jeremy Cox lost custody of their 16-year-old son for refusing to affirm his sexual identity confusion.

In courtroom proceedings, the Indiana Department of Child Services —  while using biologically incorrect pronouns — argued the Coxes’ son needed to be in a home “where she is accepted for who she is,” not one that will “tell her how she should think and how she should feel.”

Too many courts across the country already feel emboldened to allow the state to kidnap children from “non-affirming” parents — even without any allegations of abuse or neglect. If SB 26-018 in its original form becomes law, this deceptive scheme will only get much worse.
