SHOCK: Democrat Rep. Nadler Says Americans Would Be “Justified” in Shooting Masked ICE Agents 

Democrat Rep. Jerrold Nadler (NY) on Tuesday said Americans would be justified in shooting masked ICE agents.

“What is really the major problem in this country today is the fascism in our streets,” Nadler said during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday.

“The attacks on American citizens by masked hoodlums. If you were attacked by a masked person, you might think you were being kidnapped,” Nadler said.

“You’d be justified in shooting the person to protect yourself,” Nadler added.

Nadler referenced the fatal shooting of Renee Good, the anti-ICE agitator who tried to run over an ICE agent in Minneapolis.

DHS agents also fatally shot Alex Pretti, an armed anti-ICE agitator who impeded an immigration operation and resisted arrest.

“We see people being shot! For what? For driving a car?” Nadler said.

“We see these ICE goons breaking into people’s homes without a warrant. You see them drag out a man – an American citizen in his underwear in the snow without even permitting him to get dressed!” Nadler said.

One Glance at Jasmine Crockett’s Website Tells You Everything You Need to Know About Her Senate Campaign

Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s (TX-33) campaign website tells you everything you need to know about her bid to become Texas’ next senator.

And what it tells you is almost nothing.

Over the past decade, we have seen a weird trend in which people pretend to run for office without actually trying to win to gain notoriety and fame. I’ve learned to spot such performative politicking, and one red flag is how their campaign websites are set up.

If you head over to Crockett’s campaign website, you will see how little there is to her candidacy. Her home page features a statement from the lawmaker explaining that she is running because she believes “Texas deserves a Senator who will be an independent voice for all 30 million Texans — not a rubber stamp or party line vote for Donald Trump.”

Okay, fine. That’s what you’d expect from a Democratic candidate. When you click on her “About” page, you are treated to a quick overview of her political career and learn that she is “a battle-tested fighter for the people” who has “gone toe-to-toe with Trump, Abbott, and Paxton.”

She promises that she “will fight hard for you and your loved ones and get Texas back on track.”

The question is: How?

That’s where the red flag is. There is absolutely no mention of policy on her website. No idea of what legislation she will introduce. Zilch. Nada. Nothing.

Texas Democrat Running for U.S. Senate Under Fire for Allegedly Making Racist Comment About Black Colleague

James Talarico is a Democrat rep. in Texas who is running for U.S. Senate, but he is not the only one vying for that nomination.

Jasmine Crockett is running for it as well, and so is another black Democrat named Colin Allred.

Talarico may have already nuked his campaign, because he allegedly made some questionable comments about Allred. Isn’t it funny when Democrats succumb to their own attack tactics?

FOX 4 in Texas reports:

Colin Allred blasts Senate hopeful James Talarico over alleged ‘mediocre’ comment

A dispute over alleged racial comments could impact voter preferences in the upcoming Democratic Senate primary.

On Monday afternoon, former congressman Colin Allred blasted Senate candidate James Talarico for comments the senate hopeful reportedly said about his Black former political opponent.

“I understand that James Talarico had the temerity and audacity to say to a Black woman that he had signed up to run against a mediocre black man, meaning me,” Allred said in a social media video.

“This man should not be our nominee for Senate. I was not going to get involved in this race, but don’t come for me unless I send for you, OK James? And keep my name out of your mouth.”

“This man should not be our nominee for Senate. I was not going to get involved in this race, but don’t come for me unless I send for you, OK James? And keep my name out of your mouth.”

TikTok influencer Morgan Thompson laid out the claims from a private conversation she had with Talarico last month, saying he told her he signed up to run against “a mediocre Black man,” referring to Allred, and “not a formidable, intelligent Black woman” referring to his current opponent, Jasmine Crockett.

Chuck Schumer Lambasted After Comparing the SAVE Act to Jim Crow

The modern American left has an ugly habit of reaching for the biggest historical trauma it can find when it wants to shut down a debate.

Slavery, segregation, Jim Crow, fascism — nothing is too grave or too blood-soaked to be repurposed as a rhetorical club.

This isn’t just asinine and lazy. It’s fundamentally corrosive to the republic.

Like, for instance, when leftist lawmakers treat colorblind, baseline election rules as moral equivalents of racial terror, they’re cheapening history and poisoning public trust. Worse, they teach voters that words like “oppression” and “racism” are just props in a hackneyed, partisan script, not descriptions of real and specific evils.

And yet the tactic persists, which tells you everything you need to know about the incentives at work. Outrage travels faster than argument, and historical guilt is easier to weaponize than facts.

That brings us to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who recently decided that the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility Act belongs in the same moral category as Jim Crow. Seriously.

House Democrat Appears Hundreds of Times in New Epstein Documents

A Democratic member of Congress who was caught texting Jeffrey Epstein during a House hearing has had even more connections to Epstein exposed in the latest Epstein files document dump.

According to a series of 2014 emails, which came several years after Epstein’s Florida conviction on sex crimes, Democratic Delegate from the U.S. Virgin Islands Stacey Plaskett arranged to visit Epstein’s island, according to political news outlet NOTUS.

“Will you be able to meet with Jeffrey on his island on Monday Aug. 18th at 11 am?” an Epstein assistant asked Plaskett.

Plaskett was noted in the files touching base with Epstein again in 2017.

Epstein assistant Lesley Groff scheduled a “phone date” between Epstein and Plaskett.

In 2016, Groff wrote Plaskett that “Jeffrey has tried for you a few times on your cell but has been unsuccessful” and urged her to call him.

“Thanks. Spoke with him,” Plaskett responded five minutes later.

The newly released files showed Plaskett contacting Epstein to secure campaign donations in 2017 and 2018.

In September 2018, Plaskett texted Epstein, writing, “I know you’re tremendously busy. Thanks so much for taking time and sharing ideas and thoughts. I appreciate your support and hope I’m not presumptuous to consider you a friend,” according to the New York Post.

“Privileged to be called friend [sic],” he replied.

On May 13, 2019, Epstein wished Plaskett a happy birthday. She asked how he knew the date.

“You told me when you were in my office,” Epstein replied. She then reponed to him that, “You’re good.”

Epstein replied, “No I’m bad, but I’m thoughtful.”

The Washington Post reported last year that during a February 2019 hearing, Epstein texted Plaskett, writing “Great outfit”

“You look great,” he texted at 10:22 a.m. “Thanks!” she said in reply.

The Post said one minute after Plaskett was on TV making chewing motions, Epstein asked her, “Are you chewing[?]”

“Not any more,” she replied. “Chewing interior of my mouth. Bad habit from middle school”

One minute after Plaskett finished questioning former Trump attorney Michael Cohen at the hearing, Epstein wrote her, saying, “Good work.”

In November, the House held a vote on censuring Plaskett, but it failed.

Just DAYS Before Ayanna Pressley Was Sworn In, Her Husband Quit a $92K Job to Launch a “Consulting Firm” — Family Net Worth Skyrockets to $8 MILLION

Another day, another socialist millionaire in Congress.

It turns out Ilhan Omar isn’t the only member of the far-left “Squad” getting rich while denouncing capitalism. New reports reveal that Massachusetts Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley has seen her family’s net worth explode since entering the swamp in 2018.

According to a bombshell report from Fox News, highlighted by Kayleigh McEnany and David Asman, the “anti-capitalist” Squad member has gone from a negative net worth when she was elected to holding assets worth up to $8 MILLION today.

Back in 2018, when Pressley first ran for Congress, her financial disclosures showed a negative net worth of around -$12,500 to modest figures, with limited assets.

Fast-forward to her 2024 disclosures (filed in 2025), and the picture is dramatically different: Pressley now reports assets valued between $1 million and $8 million, including a luxurious Martha’s Vineyard rental property worth up to $5 million and multiple Boston rental properties valued up to $1 million each.

In 2019, she only reported one Boston property. How does a congressional salary of $174,000 account for this massive windfall?

A key piece of the puzzle points directly to her husband, Conan Harris.

Just three days before Pressley was sworn into Congress in January 2019, Harris resigned from his $92,500-a-year position as a senior public safety adviser in then-Mayor Martin Walsh’s Boston City Hall administration.

He immediately launched his own consulting firm, Conan Harris & Associates.

Ethics experts raised red flags at the time, warning that the timing could create the appearance of profiting off Pressley’s rising political profile.

Harris, a convicted felon who served 10 years in prison for drug trafficking before turning his life around, cited the need for “professional flexibility” to support his wife’s career.

Yet his income reportedly tripled and more, reaching up to $350,000 by 2021 and even higher in subsequent years through consulting gigs with nonprofits, businesses, and organizations tied to government initiatives.

Pressley’s disclosures show the couple pulling in significant rental income, up to $350,000 in one recent year from property sales and rents, including from that posh Martha’s Vineyard home purchased in 2023.

While Pressley postures as a champion of the working class and demands rent relief for tenants, she’s quietly become a major landlord reaping capitalist profits.

David Asman ripped into the hypocrisy on Fox News.

Another Georgia Democrat is charged with fraud — the third in the last month

The Department of Justice scored a Democrat fraud hat trick in Georgia: A third politician has been charged with fraudulently obtaining unemployment funds from the government.

Georgia state Rep. Dexter Sharper, a Democrat, was charged Friday by the U.S. Department of Justice with “making false statements to fraudulently obtain thousands” in COVID-related funds after he allegedly claimed unemployment benefits while he kept working.

Sharper applied for the benefits in 2020 that were available as a result of the pandemic, according to a press release from U.S. Attorney Theodore Hertzberg.

He allegedly claimed that he was unemployed and obtained about $13,825 in unemployment while he was actually making up to $2,231 of income per week at one job and up to an additional $275 weekly as a musician. He applied for the benefits and then made fraudulent weekly statements that he wasn’t working in order to receive unemployment payments, prosecutors said.

Miami Democrat Mayor Eileen Higgins Vows to Obstruct ICE and Limit Cooperation With Federal Immigration Enforcement

Miami Mayor Eileen Higgins, the city’s first Democrat mayor in nearly three decades, openly declared her intention to hamstring cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and severely limit local enforcement of federal immigration laws, a move that will turn Miami into a sanctuary city by stealth.

Higgins, who defeated Trump-endorsed candidate Emilio Gonzalez, is wasting no time pushing a dangerous, open-borders agenda.

Speaking on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan” on CBS News Sunday, Higgins acknowledged that Miami is currently complying with Florida’s state-mandated cooperation with ICE, but made clear she intends to furl out that cooperation to the bare minimum.

Margaret Brennan:
Mayor Higgins, nearly 7% of Florida is undocumented, according to you. In Miami, the police cooperate with ICE. But you, during your campaign, were very critical of that decision to cooperate. Can you change the policy without the governor being on board?

Mayor Eileen Higgins:
The governor issued a requirement that local municipalities cooperate with ICE, and many municipalities, including the City of Miami, before I became mayor, signed that agreement. It is very difficult to unwind. It would take a vote of our city commission to do so.

So obviously, as mayor, I intend to comply with the law. And so what we have done in our 1,500-person police department is we have trained three individuals—should ICE call—who are able to answer that call and work with them. Obviously, we’re going to comply with the law, but we are not going to help beyond that.

Because in my community, in South Florida, we are the most affected. ICE and its tactics have been in my community for over a year. They have been causing great fear and terror among our residents. I cannot go anywhere without meeting someone—my brother, my uncle, my sister—“Alligator Alcatraz.” No sabemos dónde está. We don’t know where they have been taken. And that has been going on for months.

It is inhumane. It is cruel. I’m a Catholic. We can barely grapple with the lack of humanity around all this. And then what we have—very differently from any other community in Miami-Dade County, which we are part of—is that approximately 15% of our population has TPS.

So you’re talking Temporary Protected Status. You’re talking about between 250,000 and 300,000 individuals who have slowly but surely, as they’ve lost status, become overnight “illegals” in the eyes of the federal government.

And this enforcement in our Nicaraguan community, our Hondureño community, our Venezuelan community, has driven many people into hiding. Children are not going to school, and obviously ICE is deporting them.

Tuesday night, we face a very dire situation. Our Haitian community loses its access to TPS at midnight. Twenty percent of TPS recipients with Haitian status are in health care. On Wednesday, we are talking about nursing homes, home health care aides, hospitals, nurses, physician assistants—all of them are going to be out of a job when they wake up on Wednesday morning.

Margaret Brennan:
Because their legal pathway and status are going to be revoked, and suddenly they become…

Mayor Eileen Higgins:
—unnecessarily. Haiti is not safe. Venezuela is not safe. TPS should be extended immediately for Venezuelans. It was erased with a stroke of a pen. It could be put in place with a stroke of a pen.

TPS for Haitian immigrants should absolutely, positively be extended. Our economy is at stake, and our humanity is at stake.

Dem Senator Got Fact-Checked Live Over His Lies About ICE. The Reaction Says It All.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) went on Fox News to spew some lies about ICE. He can get embarrassed, fact-checked, and have his script shredded because he hails from a D-plus-6700 state—the man is a senator for life there. Notice his reaction when Fox News Sunday host Shannon Bream fact-checked him live. Murphy said that ICE wasn’t going after criminal aliens anymore. Bream then corrected him, adding that almost 70 percent of their arrests have illegals who have a criminal record.   

Yet, he carried on talking about how federal agents are murdering American citizens and disappearing people. Chris, I know your side has no grasp of history, but that’s not what’s happening. This isn’t la ‘Guerra Sucia’ in Argentina, which apparently is the narrative the Left is trying to disseminate. It’s working, but only within their insane circles. It’s not a total meltdown, but the commitment to the fake narrative speaks volumes. 

Also, Chris, I know your side was asleep for most of 2024, but we voted for this: all illegals must go. It was never just the criminal ones; that was the class we were going to start with first. It would’ve been safer if your side honored ICE detention facilities, where federal agents picked up these creeps apprehended by local law enforcement. Instead, you forced ICE and CBP to go on a manhunt, mass sweeps through cities where every illegal alien is not subject to deportation.

A Tale of 82 Smurfs: Massive Money Laundering Fraud in the Democratic Party — Showcasing Missouri Congressman Wesley Bell

If I told you that 82 senior citizens that average 75 years old donated $11,516,000 in over 537,000 separate individual donations would you believe me?

Me neither!

According to the FEC, this group of senior citizens that average 75 years of age did just that!

Note: (The ages were determined with google searches that included the addresses and names.)

These donations of more than half a million separate donations (allegedly) only average $21.41 each.

Why?

That way the “masters of political money laundering” had hoped to stay “under the radar”. It worked for almost two decades. In the last few years investigative reporters such as James O Keefe, Peter Bernegger and Bob Cushman have foiled this great conspiracy that is believed to have laundered somewhere over a billion dollars in the last two decades through ActBlue with the probable complicity of the FEC.

This is what we call “smurfing” AKA money laundering.

This is illegal!

What is smurfing?  “Smurfing” involves making many small financial transactions to avoid reporting thresholds (e.g., for money laundering). In political campaign law there are two important functions which are “bypassed”.

  1. It is generally required that the actual name of the donor be assigned to each donation.
  2. There are strict limits on how much an individual may contribute.

In “smurfing” (i.e. money laundering) these laws are ignored.

(Note: This report is an expansion of a previous analysis of 72 smurfs. This report adds 10 smurfs that are found contributing to Missouri Congressman Wesly Bell.)
