Video Shows Democrat Roy Cooper Lying to Reporters About Releasing 4,200 Prisoners

North Carolina Democrat Senate candidate Roy Cooper lied to reporters when asked about his soft-on-crime record at a recent campaign appearance.

When asked about his record, Cooper said, “Independent fact checks show most of what they’re saying is simply not true. I’m the only one in this race who’s actually prosecuted violent criminals and worked to keep them behind bars.”

In this matter, it is Cooper who is not telling the truth.

Court and public records confirm that Cooper settled a lawsuit filed by far-left groups in order to release a minimum of 3,500 convicted criminals from prison — the only governor in the country who signed a legally binding agreement requiring their state to release prisoners, as Breitbart News previously reported. The total ended up being 4,200.

Cooper’s campaign has sought to discredit reporting that DeCarlos Brown, the man charged in the murder of Iryna Zarutska, was on the early release list. However, his offender identification number appears on a list Cooper’s administration hid from public view until a Fox News Digital story reported on the case.

Here are ALL The Devices FBI Agents Seized from Swalwell at the Airport and the Serious Federal Statute Investigators are Pursuing Against Him

New information has emerged about Thursday’s bombshell news involving former Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell.

As The Daily Mail reported, FBI agents confronted Swalwell with a search warrant when he landed at San Francisco Airport on Saturday. They then took the former congressman’s electronic devices, including his cell phone, reportedly as part of a federal criminal investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct.

The agents also entered Swalwell’s DC home on Sunday with warrants and seized additional potential evidence.

Now, The San Francisco Standard exclusively revealed that the other items seized from Swalwell during the airport search were his MacBook Pro, charging cable, and wall charger. The items were taken at 8:25 p.m.

It’s still unknown what specific items were seized from Swalwell’s DC residence.

There’s more bad news for Swalwell. Per the Standard, the warrant was issued under federal statute 18 U.S.C. § 242.

The Dem ‘Big Tent Party’ Is Doomed

Towards the end of every calendar year, various colleges publish lists of overused words and phrases. Though it is only August, here’s an obvious entrant for 2026: “big tent party.”

Invoking that tired phrase is part of the sophistry that “establishment” Dems contrive to outwit dumb fake-news hosts. It is an attempt to obfuscate concerns about the commie takeover of their party. Publicly and performatively, they pretend to welcome the commies because they are a “big tent party.”

Wrong! They are a “folding tent” party when it comes to their historical raison d’être; indeed, common-sense Republicans have co-opted much of their traditional ethnic and working-class base.

Even if their big tent bulges at the seams, what’s the point if the big top ring is swamped with commie clowns who turn it into a chaotic circus?

What’s the point of a party that lacks a clear mission or coherent principles?

The answer: to spite common-sense conservatives. To thwart Republicans for the sake of it. But what’s the point of that?

As the commie clowns usurp the circus ringmaster, they’re effectively chucking sticky pies into the faces of the supposedly establishment Dems. Even leftist Hakeem Obama-wannabee Jeffries has been splattered with sugary goop. He admits he’s against several of the commie demands; in fact, he doesn’t support the DSA platform at all.

Again, I ask: what’s the point in welcoming in commie clowns who run amok? I know TDS is debilitating, but do they really hate an America First President more than soul-destroying commies? They are anti-American, but are they also anti-human? Get some perspective, please.

When it comes to the more “moderate” Dems, perhaps the likes of Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) and John Fetterman (D-PA), the policy gulf is even wider. If one considers the political spectrum, they may tilt somewhat closer to conservative than commie (admittedly, Fetterman votes Dem most of the time, but I can’t see much comity with the commies).

This is not to say that a big tent can’t remain steadfast. Ronald Reagan managed it, and President Trump expanded traditional Republican constituencies. The difference is they coalesce around all-American common-sense principles that have helped make us the most inventive and prosperous country ever. Genius combined with copious common sense made America great.

The Dem big top tent is crumbling under the weight of the commie onslaught. The DSA-endorsed candidates may have a “D” by their name, but it should be “C.” After all, there was once a time when even Dems supported America; conversely, the commies they now invite in want to overthrow us. How do they belong on the same playing field, let alone in the same tent?

I’m an average, commonsense dude, but I’m telling the pretentious intellectuals and highfalutin linguists right now:  recommend ditching the phrase “big tent party.” It was useful for Reagan, and even Trump, who both ushered in a bright “Morning again in America,” but has become a ludicrous trope for the demented Dems. They are lacking a positive platform, so the Communist Manifesto will fill the vacuum.

One presumes the ultimate purpose in their big tent is simply to defeat Republicans. Be careful what you wish for — the commies within will turn on you. They always do. As the old saying goes: “United we stand, divided we fall.” As with communism, the Dem big tent is doomed to fall. They’d be advised to break commie camp in a more orderly fashion.

Democrat Senate Candidate Roy Cooper’s Pay-to-Play Healthcare Push Made Him Rich

North Carolina Democrat Senate candidate Roy Cooper benefited substantially from healthcare companies while serving eight years as the state’s governor. Records show state-awarded contracts went to companies who made donations to entities connected to Cooper while he also owned stocks in investment funds featuring those same companies.

The state of North Carolina transitioned from a fee-for-service model to managed care for its Medicaid program in legislation passed in 2015. Under the fee-for-service model, the state’s health department reimbursed physicians and healthcare providers based on the number of services they provided. The managed care model gives contracts directly to health insurance companies.

Cooper was elected governor in 2016, meaning his administration would select the winners of the contracts when the transition took effect.

One company, United Healthcare, received one of the coveted contracts from Cooper’s administration in 2019 as he took in $142,184 in contributions.

Cooper prodded the state legislature for years to expand Medicaid in the state, which finally occurred in 2023 and extended coverage to over 600,000 North Carolinians. Medicaid expansion succeeded in growing the enrollment base flowing through that same United Healthcare contract, boosting Cooper’s stock portfolio.

His relationship with healthcare giant Centene links millions in donations directly to his time as governor.

Centene’s North Carolina-based subsidiary also won regional Medicaid contracts from Cooper’s administration in 2019, and the company later acquired WellCare, which held one of the four statewide contracts awarded in that same round.

Cooper chaired the Democratic Governor’s Association (DGA) in 2021-22 when Centene gave $1.45 million to the group — also timed with his continued push to expand Medicaid in North Carolina.

Key Democratic Senate Candidate’s Campaign Descends Into ‘Complete Chaos’

Just hours before a key jungle primary decided the field for a critical Senate race the left hopes to flip, Democratic candidate Mary Peltola, a former state representative, fired numerous senior campaign staffers in what one local outlet described as a “Saturday night massacre.”

Peltola would win the all-party primary by a 48.1 percent to 42.7 percent margin over incumbent GOP Sen. Dan Sullivan on Tuesday, according to The Washington Post.

However, most of the remaining votes are likely to skew Sullivan’s way in November — including a candidate with the name Daniel J. Sullivan who ran as a Republican but was a Democratic op to draw votes away from the incumbent on the first ballot.

In addition, while polling of varying quality consistently showed Peltola ahead by anywhere between 2 to 7 percentage points in a general election matchup, a June 15-29 New York Times/Siena University poll showed Sullivan up by two. The poll was the first survey to meet the Times’ quality-control standards for its polling aggregate.

While it’s unclear why, The Alaska Landmine reported Monday that Peltola had “abruptly fired multiple senior campaign staff” over the weekend, just days before the primary.

This included two senior officials, Anton McParland and Elisa Rios, who had been with her since 2022, when she was elected to the U.S. House in 2022; Rios was her chief of staff.

Entitled Democrat lawmaker who’s been arrested three times while in office demands enormous six-figure salary increase that’ll take her pay to $250,000

A Texas Democrat who has been arrested three times while in office is seeking a six-figure salary raise. 

Harris County Treasurer Carla Wyatt has requested $250,000 ‘or more’ according to a formal salary grievance filed with the county and seen by the Houston Chronicle.

The increase, if approved, would be equivalent to a 79 percent raise on her current salary of just over $139,500.

It was filed as part of an annual process that lets elected members ask a committee for a raise, her request will be considered today. 

According to the grievance, seen by the outlet, Wyatt said she was asking for ‘an amount that fairly and appropriately reflects the statutory responsibilities, fiduciary obligations, scope of authority, workload, and level of accountability associated with the office of Harris County Treasurer.’

The request comes after her office was stripped of some of its financial oversight powers in an ongoing effort to abolish her position entirely, the outlet reported. 

Wyatt made the request while a drink driving case against her works its way though the legal system. 

Police in Galveston said that they approached a car flagged by a concerned onlooker during a patrol in May, only to find the female driver, Wyatt, ‘to be asleep.’

An officer woke Wyatt up and asked her where she was, to which she responded that she was ‘in Heaven.’

After repeated attempts to get the treasurer to say where she was and where she was going, she finally said she was in Houston, trying to get to Galveston for a conference the next morning.

At one point, Wyatt admitted to having one glass of wine that evening, before eventually changing her story to two glasses.

The arresting officers said they ‘smelled the odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting’ from Wyatt.

Wyatt also sat on the rear bumper of her car to remain upright, the officer said, according to police documents obtained by ABC13.

She eventually failed a field sobriety test and was arrested for driving while intoxicated.

Wyatt was immediately taken to the Galveston County jail but has since been released, according to jail records.

Governor Hochul plans new law to block ATF proposal allowing guns to be shipped directly to homes; local experts weigh in

A recent proposal from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms aims to allow people to buy a gun online and have it shipped directly to their homes, but Gov. Kathy Hochul is pushing back.

News10NBC’s Tom Kowalski spoke with gun and legal experts to find out what this means for New York’s law-abiding gun owners. Brandon Lewis, owner of the Firing Pin gun shop in Bergen, said he believes consumers should have more choices and less regulation.

The deregulation argument

“If we permit adults to purchase alcohol or have prescription medications delivered to their door, I think we can accommodate this as well with the same overall safety mechanisms in place,” Lewis said.

Currently, New York residents who buy guns online must have them shipped to a Federal Firearms Licensee like the Firing Pin.

“You would buy it like any other product that you would buy. You put your credit card in and you pay for it, and then they ship it to us,” continued Lewis.

“Once it arrives, you come in, and it would be like if you just walked in off the street and say, ‘I want to buy that gun off the rack.’ And we fill out the paperwork and then, as long as the background check clears, you take possession of it.”

Hochul takes fire at the ATF

In response to the ATF’s plan, Hochul says she intends to introduce a law requiring the final sale to be done in person, continuing the process of buying a gun online, before picking it up from an FFL.

Anthony Kuhn with the law firm Tully Rinckey said New York’s plan is likely legal.

“That’s one of those restrictions that is likely not going to be something that Second Amendment would successfully challenge,” Kuhn said. “Most likely a limitation like that isn’t strict enough that it violates an individual’s Second Amendment rights.”

Paul Adell Jr. with Rochester African American Firearms Association says he doesn’t see a problem with direct-to-home shipping if proper checks are in place.

“If the current and proper checks are in place to make sure that people are still passing the ATF background check and getting it sent to their directly to their home, I don’t think I see a problem with that at all,” Adell said.

Obama-Appointed Judge Who Blocked FBI from Moving Headquarters to Reagan Building Donated Almost $6k to Dems

The Obama-appointed judge who ruled that the FBI cannot relocate its headquarters to the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center has donated thousands of dollars to Democrats and has a history of ruling against President Donald Trump.

Judge Theodore D. Chuang, of the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, found on Monday that the administration’s plan cannot proceed. As CBS News reported:

Last November, the state of Maryland sued Patel and the bureau, alleging that the Trump administration had attempted to “unlawfully sabotage” the 2023 plan and illegally divert funding that Congress had designated for the plan — over $323 million — away from it.

On Monday, U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang sided with Maryland, writing in a 47-page opinion that the Trump administration’s move to divert the funding and cancel the plan was “arbitrary and capricious and not in accordance with law,” in addition to other violations of federal law.

In December, FBI Director Kash Patel said that moving the headquarters to the Reagan Building would save billions in taxpayer funds.

YIKES: Progressive Event Featuring James Talarico and Kamala Harris in Texas is Virtually EMPTY

A progressive event called ‘Democracy Summit 2026’ took place in Austin, Texas this week, but apparently, everyone on the left forgot to show up.

The day featured Zoom remarks from James Talarico, Kamala Harris, Mark Kelly and a host of other heavy hitter Democrats, but for some reason there was no audience for the show.

The media keeps repeating polling that shows James Talarico ahead in the Texas Senate race. Is it possible that the polling is just fake? He certainly can’t draw a crowd.

Townhall reported:

This Star-Studded Progressive Event Featuring James Talarico and Kamala Harris Was a Complete Flop

The Democrat Party’s youth movement appears to be in complete shambles as the DemocracySummit 2026, what was slated to be a “a powerful day of organizing, learning, and civic renewal,” had absolutely abysmal attendance in Austin, Texas.

Despite boasting a star-studded slate of progressive speakers like former Vice President Kamala Harris, Sens. Mark Kelly and Chris Murphy, Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, and Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin, the venue appeared to be completely empty.

Footage uploaded to social media by Turning Point executive Tyler Bowyer showed a near-empty room during remarks delivered by Democrat Mark Kelly, who many have pushed as a potential dark horse in the 2028 presidential primaries.

Lawless State: California Democrats Pass ‘Stop Nick Shirley Act’ – Journalists will Be Fined THOU$ANDS For Recording and Exposing Fraud Inside Immigration Support Service Providers

California Democrats on Wednesday passed AB 2624, dubbed the ‘Stop Nick Shirley Act’ by Republicans. The bill, introduced by Democrat Assemblywoman Mia Bonta, restricts the release of investigative videos exposing immigration support service providers.

Mia Bonta is married to California’s radical far-left Attorney General Rob Bonta.

The California Democrats got to work on AB 2624 earlier this year after investigative journalist Nick Shirley exposed rampant hospice and daycare fraud.

The bill will fine journalists (and regular citizens) a minimum of $4,000 for exposing potential fraud inside certain immigration support service providers.

The bill passed the California Senate on Tuesday and was sent back to the Assembly for final passage on Wednesday.

Governor Newsom is expected to sign the bill.

California Republican Assemblyman Carl DeMaio blasted the Democrats for passing Mia Bonta’s bill.
