Klobuchar Delivers Insane Word Salad When Asked What Specific “Illegal” Orders Trump Issued the Military

NBC’s Kristen Welker actually pressed Democrat Senator Amy Klobuchar about the seditious Democrat lawmakers and their viral video urging the military to refuse President Trump’s orders.

Last week, Trump lashed out at the six Democrat members of Congress who urged the military to refuse ‘illegal orders.’

Without offering any specifics, Senators Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ), along with Democrat Reps. Maggie Goodlander (NH), Jason Crow (CO), Chris Deluzio (PA), and Chrissy Houlahan (PA) repeatedly stated, “You can refuse illegal orders,” or “You must refuse illegal orders,” in a viral video.

President Trump called for the Democrat lawmakers featured in the viral video to be locked up.

“This is really bad, and Dangerous to our Country. Their words cannot be allowed to stand. SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR FROM TRAITORS!!! LOCK THEM UP??? President DJT” – Trump said on Truth Social on Thursday morning.

Later Thursday morning, President Trump said seditious behavior is punishable by death.

“SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” Trump said in a follow-up post on Truth Social.

NBC’s Kristen Welker on Sunday asked Klobuchar what specific “illegal acts” the seditious Democrats were referring to in the viral video.

“I wonder, do you know what the specific, illegal acts are that your democratic colleagues were referring to there?” Kristen Welker asked Klobuchar.

Klobuchar could not answer Welker.

She delivered a word salad about the National Guard and a District Judge’s order.

“If their commander were to tell them, hey go out on the streets… and do this and that, that’s not following the order that is in law,” Klobuchar said.

Maxine Waters Doesn’t Like It When You Bring Up Her Love Letters to Fidel Castro

In the wake of New York City electing itself a real live communist for mayor earlier this month, Rep. María Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.) introduced a non-binding resolution to Congress this past week called “Denouncing the horrors of socialism.” That means it doesn’t create any sort of real law — it’s largely symbolic, with the intention of affirming “that the United States rejects socialism and opposes the implementation of socialist policies that threaten the freedoms and prosperity that define our nation.” 

Voting in favor of it should have been a no-brainer. It was for Republicans, at least: 199 voted in favor of it, with zero voting against. For Democrats, on the other hand, only 86 managed to find it within themselves to denounce the very things the U.S. stands against, while 98 voted against and two voted present, and 47 didn’t vote at all. You can’t make this stuff up.  

For some of the Republicans, the vote was personal. They lived the realities of it. 

Salazar, for example, grew up in Florida, the daughter of Cuban exiles who fled Fidel Castro’s reign of terror. “This is a moral vote against an ideology that has destroyed millions and millions of families,” she said during her remarks. “Unfortunately, socialism and Marxism crushes the human soul. And it’s not just my community in Miami. It’s the rest of the hemisphere and the rest of the world.”  

Rep. Young Kim (R-Calif.) also spoke from experience. “As a Korean-American who grew up in the aftermath of the Korean war, I have witnessed the horrors of socialism firsthand,” she said. “… Now more than ever, as socialist ideas gain traction here at home, and as our nation’s largest city and financial capital has elected, not just a socialist but a communist, as mayor, we must firmly demand our capitalist free market system which empowers Americans of all backgrounds to achieve freedom, opportunity, and prosperity.”  

Apparently, for some of the “nays,” it was personal as well. But in a different way. 

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) was one of the most vocal against it, and Salazar wasn’t afraid to point out why. 

If there is someone who has seen the horrors of socialism up close within the Democratic Party in the House, it is the honorable Congresswoman Maxine Waters. And I would love for you to support this resolution specifically, because Madam Waters, for decades, you traveled to Cuba dozens of times to visit Fidel Castro personally, whom you considered your friend.  Congresswoman Waters was in Havana and she saw the destruction of biblical proportions that Castro caused on that island who, at the time in 1960, had the highest per capita income in the Western Hemisphere. 

At that time, Madam Waters knew that thousands and thousands of Cubans were escaping on a raft, exposing their lives and their children’s to be eaten by the sharks. She knew that Afro-Cubans were being beaten on the streets of Havana, discriminated against, uh, by Fidel Castro, Mr. Speaker. And for that reason, I am bringing up all these facts, because Madam Waters knew that the Cuban jails were full of political prisoners and the Cubans did not have the same privileges that we are having right now to speak freely. At that time, Madam Waters never raised her voice to denounce the horrors of socialism, Mr. Speaker.

DEM BOOMERANG: US Virgin Islands Rep. Stacey Plaskett’s Deep Connection to Her Donor Jeffrey Epstein Comes to Light

Plaskett appears to have been an Epstein operative.

The mania that took over the Democratic party over the ‘Jeffrey Epstein files’ was sure to backfire on them – and it’s happening, fast!

Apart from Bill Clinton, Larry Summers and so many others, the spotlight has been shining on embattled Rep. Stacey Plaskett from the US Virgin Islands.

Plaskett is being shown to have far deeper connections to Jeffrey Epstein – a major donor for her – than she let on.

The New York Post reported:

“On Wednesday, Plaskett downplayed Epstein as just another ‘constituent’, after files released by Epstein’s estate revealed he fed her questions during a congressional hearing in 2019, prompting the call for the House sanction.

But exhibits and depositions in a New York court case reveal the convicted pedophile and his associates shoveled at least $30,000 in campaign funds to Plaskett over three election cycles.”

On This Day in 1865: Democrats Pass Nation’s First ‘Black Codes’ to Impose Near Slavery on African Americans

The more things change – the more they stay the same.

On November 22, 1865, Mississippi Democrats passed black codes to impose near slavery on African Americans in the state.

Democrats didn’t want those blacks to see any success in life. Today Democrats do that by “representing” blacks in political office but doing nothing to improve their lives in the hood.

Grand Old Partisan reported:

According to these Democrat laws, African-Americans could not:

 • vote

 • serve on juries

 • testify against white people

 • own guns

 • travel without permission

 • assemble for political purposes

 • own farmland

 • be outdoors at night

 • change jobs without permission

Democrats decreed that all African-Americans had to:

 •sign annual labor contracts with white masters

 • be deferential to all white people

 • be apprenticed (in practice, enslaved) to white masters until adulthood

 • work only in agriculture and a few other occupations

Fortunately, after winning a two-thirds majority in Congress, Republicans swept away these black codes.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett MELTS DOWN, Claims Republicans Are “Defunding the Police”

Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett used her opening statement this week to deliver one of the most exaggerated, unfounded speeches Congress has heard in years. 

Rather than focus on public safety, government accountability, or the crises facing American families, she launched into a rehearsed tirade accusing President Trump of running an “autocracy.” 

It was political theater—packed with conspiracy, missing context, and completely detached from the reality of Trump’s presidency.

Crockett claimed that since January, President Trump has used “the full power of the federal government to attack Americans.” 

But so far during Trump’s presidency, violent crime has fallen, immigration enforcement was restored after years of neglect, and agencies long criticized for politicization were finally forced to operate under clear, lawful boundaries. 

Crockett ignored these facts because they undermine the narrative her party relies on: that accountability equals authoritarianism when Republicans are in charge.

Her next allegation—that Americans face “militaristic operations” in their homes and “reckless, illegal acts by rogue agents”—has no basis in any federal action under President Trump. 

What the record shows is that Trump reestablished stable enforcement protocols, reversed dangerous sanctuary-city policies, and reinstated cooperation between federal and local agencies. 

Meanwhile, the same Democrats yelling “autocracy” supported no-bail policies and police defunding efforts that caused homicide rates in major blue cities to surge.

Crockett also resurrected the long-debunked claim tying Trump to Jeffrey Epstein. 

She ignored the fact that Trump banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago, cooperated with prosecutors, and appeared nowhere in the criminal evidence. 

Clinton, on the other hand, flew on Epstein’s jet more than two dozen times. Crockett selectively referenced “Epstein files,” implying that Trump is hiding them, even though his administration supported their release and none contain evidence of wrongdoing by him. 

It was an attempt to manufacture guilt where none exists.

Her attacks then shifted to internal government processes—routine contracting decisions, old allegations unrelated to Trump, and administrative disputes she framed as “organized crime.” 

These claims collapsed under basic scrutiny.

AOC email seeks donations for turkey giveaway — but money goes straight to her campaign coffers

This fundraiser is for the birds.

Power-hungry “Squad” member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) cooked up a new way to have her cake and eat it too this Thanksgiving – by tying her annual turkey giveaway to her massive reelection campaign enterprise. And critics are crying fowl.

“Thanksgiving is two weeks away,” the self-described “Bronx girl” wrote in an email pitch last week. “Will you chip in $5 or anything you can today to help us bring the joy of the holiday season into homes around NYC this year?”

But clicking on the contribution link sends people directly to a campaign fundraising page operated by ActBlue, where donors are prompted to make a one-time or recurring monthly donation.

Selecting a dollar amount brings a disclosure that the appeal is “paid for by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Congress” and a reminder that donations are not deductible as charitable contributions at tax time.

Congresswoman Faces Expulsion After Indictment for Stealing FEMA Funds, Filing False Tax Return

Far-left Democratic Representative Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick might soon be expelled from Congress if House Republicans get their way.

The reason: A federal grand jury has indicted her and other defendants, including her brother, for purloining $5 million from the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) and using it for contributions to her 2021 congressional campaign.

The indictment isn’t Cherfilus-McCormick’s first brush with federal law. In April, she was the target of a complaint to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) for myriad shenanigans with campaign funds and contributions.

The indictment and the FEC complaint are cited in the expulsion resolution from GOP Representative Greg Steube, also of Florida.

The DOJ Indictment

The Justice Department’s (DOJ) summary of the indictment explains that Cherfilus-McCormick, 46, and her brother, Edwin, 51, “worked through their family health-care company on a FEMA-funded COVID-19 vaccination staffing contract in 2021. In July 2021, the company received an overpayment of $5 million in FEMA funds.”

The defendants conspired to steal the money, then attempted to disguise the sources by routing the funds through “multiple accounts,” DOJ alleges:

Prosecutors allege that a substantial portion of the misappropriated funds was used as candidate contributions to Cherfilus-McCormick’s 2021 congressional campaign and for the personal benefit of the defendants.

The indictment also claims that Cherfilus-McCormick and another conspirator, Nadege Leblanc, 46, “arranged additional contributions using straw donors” from that contract. That went to “friends and relatives who then donated to the campaign as if using their own money.”

Also involved in the scheme, prosecutors allege, was Cherfilus-McCormick’s tax preparer, David K. Spencer, 41, who helped the congresswoman file a false return in 2021. The pair “falsely claimed political spending and other personal expenses as business deductions and inflated charitable contributions in order to reduce her tax obligations,” DOJ alleges.

Cherfilus-McCormick could go to prison for half a century, while big brother Cherfilus faces up to 35 years. Spencer and Leblanc face 33 years and 10 years, respectively.

Said U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi:

Using disaster relief funds for self-enrichment is a particularly selfish, cynical crime. No one is above the law, least of all powerful people who rob taxpayers for personal gain. We will follow the facts in this case and deliver justice.

“This is an unjust, baseless, sham indictment — and I am innocent. The timing alone is curious and clearly meant to distract from far more pressing national issues,” Cherfilus-McCormick claimed.

Anchor Grills Dem Rep: “What Specific Order From Trump Are You Asking Our Military To Object To?”

Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum tore into Colorado Democrat Rep. Jason Crow during a tense interview, pressing him repeatedly on the specifics behind a viral video where congressional Democrats urged military members to defy “illegal orders” from the Trump administration.

Crow repeatedly dodged, with vague allusions to random “Trump bad” rhetoric, and offering no concrete examples of actual unlawful directives.

The exchange highlighted what critics, including senior Trump advisor Stephen Miller, have blasted as Democrats’ desperate call for insurrection, rooted in nothing more than baseless fear-mongering as they cling to power.

In the video, a group of Democrats with military or intelligence backgrounds—including Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), Rep. Chris Deluzio (D-PA), and Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA)—solemnly intoned messages like: “Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders,” and “No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution.”

Democratic Congresswoman Doubles Down on Video of Liberal Lawmakers Telling Troops to Question Orders

Not long ago, every sensible and patriotic American would have found present-day Democrats’ tactics unthinkable.

In fact, presidents could (and did) take swift action against the perpetrators.

Friday on CNN, Democratic Rep. Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania doubled down on a shocking and potentially seditious video she and five other Democrats posted on Tuesday.

In that video, the six Democrats called on intelligence professionals and military service members to disobey illegal orders.

Of course, they cited no examples of such orders from President Donald Trump or Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. They simply renewed leftists’ oft-repeated smear of Trump as a threat to the Constitution. Never mind that the sovereign people elected him in a landslide.

Thursday on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump labeled the video “seditious” and called for the Democrats’ arrest.

On Friday, Houlahan responded by recounting what her father, who once served in the military, had told her.

“If you receive an order that you are not sure of,” the congresswoman said of her father’s advice, “you have a duty to question your commander, the person next in your chain of command. If that person says, ‘Nope, this is what the order is,’ and you still have an issue, you do have a duty to go up your chain of command to ask those questions. And you have an ability to go to the JAG [Judge Advocate General] and talk to them about that as well.”

Then, she took an obligatory swipe at Trump.

“Listen,” she continued, “I think that this is an amazing turn of events. Again, when we’re talking about the fact that we’re being threatened with death for asking people to follow the law, it is a case in point of why we were concerned to begin with.”

CNN Hack Jake Tapper Pushes Deranged Hoax That Trump Wants To EXECUTE Democrats

CNN’s resident Trump-hater Jake Tapper has sunk to new lows, peddling the absurd claim that President Trump wants to execute Democratic members of Congress—prompting Reuters to issue a laughable “clarification” that, no, Trump does not actually plan to kill his political opponents.

The whole manufactured outrage stems from a ‘seditious’ video released by a cabal of congressional Democrats—all with military or intelligence backgrounds—who vaguely urged active-duty service members and intel pros to defy “illegal orders” from the Trump administration, without citing a single actual unlawful directive. 

The clip, spearheaded by Michigan Rep. Elissa Slotkin and featuring Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, Colorado Rep. Jason Crow, Pennsylvania Rep. Chris Deluzio, and Pennsylvania Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, accuses Trump of “pitting” the military “against American citizens” and violating the Constitution, while solemnly intoning: “You can refuse illegal orders… You must refuse illegal orders.”
