Pastor at James Talerico’s “Sanctuary Church” Admits to Harboring Illegal Alien for 8 Years, Says “We’re Not a Belief-Based Church”

The Reverend Carol Johnson from St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, the home church of Democrat James Talerico, was caught on undercover video recently exposing the world to the community’s wackadoodle principles.

Brandon Waltens from Texas Scorecard released this video on Monday.

Rev. Johnson admits in this video that the church has been harboring an illegal alien from Guatemala for eight years. She also speaks proudly that the church is “not a belief-based church.”

This may explain a lot about the Democrat man-child, trans-kids-loving candidate from Texas.

Rev. Carol Johnson: We don’t have a lot of people who are religious here. Right. Yeah, it’s very interesting.

Don’t laugh at me. We’re not a belief-based church, we’re a values-based church. The beliefs are what Jesus taught in the Sermon on the Mount. Loving each other, taking care of each other. Anti-empire. After the church became part of the Holy Roman Empire, suddenly Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount just went out the window and it became all about beliefs and whether you believe the right thing. Right?

And so we don’t spend time on that later stuff. We don’t spend time on creeds. Right?

We focus on the Sermon on the Mount. We’ve stood up for LGBTQ+ rights forever. Right, right. And racial justice. And we have immigration stuff and we actually have a person. There’s a gentleman living in our church who is from Venezuela… No, Guatemala. And he has lived here for 8 years.

Questioner: A Sanctuary Church. I’ve been following the Talarico campaign. I understand he goes to this church and speaks about it in interviews.

Rev. Johnson: Yeah, he grew up in this church.

WHAT ARE THEY HIDING? Michigan Sheriff Refers Sec of State Jocelyn Benson’s Chief Attorney to Feds for Interfering In Criminal Investigation After Threatening Him For Interviewing Clerks

With only 42 days until the November 2026 election, Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf is making it crystal clear for Michigan’s corrupt Secretary of State, Jocelyn Benson, that he is not playing games with her anymore.

In his first of a series of videotaped explanations about his ongoing investigation into a Secretary of State employee’s whistleblower claim, Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf explains how the whistleblower — “now a protected confidential informant” — brought his office evidence that “non-citizens were automatically added to Michigan’s voter roll when they changed an address at an SOS branch,” and that his office sent that evidence to the federal government. An SOS manager, Leaf says, admitted knowing about the automatic placements and told the employee not to worry: city clerks would pull the non-citizens off. Leaf calls that a lie. Municipal and county clerks, he says, cannot see citizenship on the Qualified Voter File. “They do not have the data to do so,” he said. Sheriff Leaf says the criminal investigation is ongoing, his office is working with the Department of Justice and Homeland Security, and those agencies have already interviewed witnesses. He calls the case “extremely serious.”

“My office has continued its investigation and is cooperating with the federal government,” Leaf said, adding, “The federal government — the United States Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security — have spoken and interviewed witnesses.”

In his second video, Sheriff Dar Leaf says Michigan Department of State Chief Legal Director Khyla D. Craine wrote him that branch staff are not authorized to give law enforcement information on a verbal request, accused him of contacting Elections Director Jonathan Brater outside official channels, and accused him of harassing SOS staff. Leaf posted her letter on his X account.

Democrat Jon Ossoff Campaigned with Alleged Sexual Deviant Georgia Mayor Impeached for Corruption

Georgia Democrat Sen. Jon Ossoff has repeatedly campaigned with a mayor who allegedly exchanged explicit messages with an 18 year-old student and was impeached for spending thousands of taxpayer dollars on personal expenses.

Ossoff has been photographed with disgraced former Stockbridge Mayor Jayden Williams dating back to 2023, as seen in photos on social media. Breitbart News reported last week Williams was impeached by the Stockbridge City Council after he was accused of misusing city funds and exchanging sexually suggestive messages and explicit photos with an 18-year-old high school student.

He was removed from office on grounds of malfeasance, misfeasance, and violation of his oath, Fox 5 Atlanta reported.

Ossoff in the past has bragged about “exposing human trafficking” as a former investigative journalist and staked his campaign on rooting out corruption.

Atlanta News First reported on a Stockbridge police report filed on March 17 detailing an investigation into communications between Williams and an 18-year-old high school student who said he was enrolled in the city’s youth mentorship program.

Police said a search of the teen’s phone revealed active messages on Instagram and Snapchat starting on Dec. 1, 2025, that appeared to escalate into sexually suggestive flirting with other implications, the news outlet reported.

Ossoff has campaigned with Williams and spoken at the same events numerous times over the years:

Ossoff and Williams at a Harris/Walz campaign event: (Instagram, 9/8/24)

Ossoff and Williams at a Democratic Party of Georgia State Elections event: (Instagram, 1/8/23)

Ossoff and Williams at a Joe Biden campaign event: (Instagram, 1/15/23)

Ossoff, Williams, and Lance Bottoms at a campaign event: (Instagram, 5/31/26)

Ossoff and Williams at the NLC Congressional City Conference: (Instagram, 3/20/26)

Ossoff faces Republican Rep. Mike Collins in November, a race that has seen polling margins tighten in the past week. Quantus Insights published a survey giving Ossoff just a 4-point lead, with 48 percent to Collins’ 44 percent.

Prosecutors zero in on John Brennan’s role in Trump-Russia collusion narrative in conspiracy case

With the confirmation that former CIA Director John Brennan received a subpoena to testify in the ongoing “grand conspiracy” weaponization probe based in Florida, prosecutors appear to be zeroing in on how the ex-spy was at the beginning, middle, and aftermath of the Trump-Russia collusion narrative. 

Brennan is currently a senior national security and intelligence analyst for NBC and MSNBC, and according to one speakers’ bureau, Brennan’s speaking fee typically ranges from $50,000 to $75,000. His security clearance was officially revoked by President Trump in January of last year.

The former director’s lawyer confirmed in a court filing in a separate case – Brennan’s lawsuit against the federal government to preserve records related to investigations of him – that Brennan was subpoenaed by a federal grand jury in Fort Pierce, Florida where prosecutors are trying to build a grand conspiracy case arguing President Donald Trump and his allies were deprived of their civil rights in a decades-long saga of weaponized intelligence and law enforcement statements.  

Violation of Trump’s civil rights and Brennan’s false statements to Congress being probed

According to the filing, government prosecutor Kurt Olsen told Brennan’s counsel the probe is “far-reaching” and includes “issues at Mar-a-Lago and beyond.” It is aimed at assessing whether Trump’s civil rights were violated. The prosecutor reportedly told Brennan’s lawyer he was also the “subject” of a separate investigation for alleged false statements to Congress. 

“Mr. Olsen explained that Director Brennan was a ‘target’ of the narrower investigation, and the investigation for which he was now being subpoenaed was the ‘more wide-ranging conspiracy,’ as to which our client was a ‘subject.’ However, he explained that the narrower investigation was ‘still viable,’ and that the issues in the narrower investigation might also be part of the larger investigation, such as being overt acts,” Brennan’s lawyer wrote.

Virginia Democrat Shannon Taylor Has Long History of Soft-On-Crime Advocacy

Shannon Taylor, the Democrat nominee in Virginia’s 1st Congressional District, said in newly unearthed clips she embraces the far left’s open-border, pro-criminal illegal alien agenda, campaigning with a Democrat who smeared Border Patrol as “White Nationalists” and advocating for Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien from El Salvador and an MS-13 gang member with a history of violence.

On video Taylor, the Henrico County Commonwealth Attorney fearmongered about Border Patrol agents “running down the hallway of public schools” and denigrated ICE agents who apprehended an illegal alien outside of a courthouse.

In April 2025, Taylor furiously described a case of ICE removing an illegal alien from a Virginia community and said she wants the incident investigated:

It was just 24 hours ago that we saw two, one masked gentleman and another gentle — I shouldn’t use the term gentleman, but two men who came into the Albemarle Court House without any identification… literally coming in and going hands on a young man who had just had his case dismissed…

A month earlier, Taylor spread lies about Border Patrol agents “running down the hallway” of public schools:

It’s the attorney general… that’s going to make the difference… whether that you all have children or grandchildren in public schools and they are in their classes learning, whether or not border patrol agents will be running down the hallway while they’re trying to learn or not.

Taylor has even camapigned alongside Texas Democrat Congressional candidate Bobby Pulido who smeared Border Patrol agents as “White Nationalists,” said border security is motivated by racism, and has maintained a “longstanding” relationship with Mexican drug cartel operative Julión Álvarez who was sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury Department in 2017 for laundering money for drug traffickers.

Virginia Democrats, including Taylor, continue to pursue extreme sanctuary polices that continues to put Virginians in danger.

Just last week, police arrested Alexis Antonio Cedillos-Campos, a criminal illegal alien from El Salvador who crossed the southern border illegally in April 2024 under the Biden administration in connection with the brutal stabbing death of a 42-year-old mother near a park in Fairfax County.

In the same week, Abdulloi Toshpulodzoda, who admitted to fatally stabbing his roommate, was able to obtain a foreign passport, receive a 48-hour pass from a state mental hospital, stay at an apartment paid for by taxpayers, and then buy a one-way ticket to his home country of Tajikistan.

Taylor also has a record of lax plea deals for criminals and a DEI agenda that saw her fire prosecutors based on the color of their skin on her first day in office.

She also signed on to a 2021 letter that read in part, “tough on crime policies” have been an “anathema to justice,” and she has backed a laundry list of policies that would make it easier for violent criminals to avoid consequences.

“Shannon Taylor’s brain must have been broken by the woke mind virus because no one in Virginia wants criminal illegal aliens and violent repeat offenders given lax deals and released back onto the streets. Extreme Democrats have turned Virginia into a pro-criminal violent hellscape, and nut jobs like Taylor are to blame,” said RNC Spokeswoman Emma Hall.

Stacey Abrams Tours CT— That Is The Tell Connecticut’s Elections Are Suspect

When Stacey Abrams shows up in your state to lecture you about election integrity, you should ask yourself one question — why her?

Abrams has spent years positioning herself as the national standard-bearer for “voting rights” — a cause she adopted after refusing to concede her 2018 Georgia governor’s race. But The Georgia Record (a CDM outlet) has documented her fingerprints on one of the most troubled election cycles in modern American history: the 2020 Georgia election, where a temp staffing firm called Happy Faces Personnel — tied directly to Abrams — was credibly accused of criminal behavior at polling locations in Fulton County.

Eyewitness accounts published by The Georgia Record described probable criminal behavior by Happy Faces temp employees during the 2020 Georgia election cycle. The firm had been financed with Abrams-linked money and was later the subject of fierce local opposition when Fulton County Commissioners voted to renew its contract. North Fulton County jurisdictions were so alarmed they sought to break away and run their own elections rather than tolerate Happy Faces for another cycle.

None of that history followed Abrams to Hartford last weekend.

Far-Left MA Gov. Maura Healey Wants Government Healthcare Workers to Barge Into the Homes of EVERY New Baby in the State “To Make an Assessment”

Far-left Democrat Governor Maura Healey is pushing a shocking new proposal that would expand state-funded home visits to the house of every single newborn baby born in the state.

Under the guise of “maternal healthcare” and mental health support, Healey wants government-appointed healthcare providers to physically enter the homes of parents to conduct “assessments” on families.

On Boston Public Radio, after pitching her postpartum package, Healey said this:

“Everybody in the state, when you have a baby, you’re going to have a home visit. You’re going to have a home visit within days, weeks, and that will be an opportunity for a healthcare provider to make an assessment and to see if you need some additional support and resources.”

Letitia James Seized Nuns’ $19 Million and STILL Won’t Release It So They Can Care for Aging Members

For 123 years, the Sisters of the Congregation of Divine Providence devoted their time and money to help young women in Manhattan through the Jeanne D’Arc Residence.

Jeanne d’Arc Residence is dedicated to creating a welcoming and caring environment for women seeking safe, affordable and temporary housing in New York City. Through the ministry provided at Jeanne d’Arc Residence, the Sisters of Divine Providence are committed to ensuring a Christian environment which serves women of all nationalities, cultures and religions. In this setting, the good news of Jesus Christ is lived and proclaimed in the spirit of Providence.”

The nuns, whose order is based in Kentucky, have seen their number shrink and their population age.  The cost of continuing to run the residence has become too much to bear as they face caring for their own elderly sisters.

The sisters sold the property to John Catsimidis for $22.5 million. Because the property is part of a registered charitable organization, Letitia James’ office must, and did, approve the sale.

But devoting over a century to vulnerable women in the city is not enough for James.  Her office seized the proceeds of the sale and, for two years, has refused to release it to them.

James’ reason? She doesn’t like what the nuns will do with their money.

Data Center Attack Ad From Ohio Democrat Sherrod Brown Features Google Facility – While Brown Takes Thousands From Google Lobbyists

Ohio Democrat Sherrod Brown goes after data centers in one of his latest attack ads. Data centers are all the rage on the left right now. They’re like the new climate change.

Most of these people don’t even understand the technology behind data centers, they just know that if they’re on the left, they’re supposed to hate them.

In Brown’s ad, there is a Google facility, which is kind of funny, considering that Brown has taken thousands in donations from lobbyists for Google.

FOX News reports:

Dem’s data center attack in critical Senate race hits snag when money trail surfaces: ‘Jekyll-and-Hyde’

Former Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown is targeting Republican Sen. Jon Husted over Ohio’s growing data center industry in a new campaign ad that features a facility owned by Google, whose corporate PAC and lobbyists have contributed thousands of dollars to Brown’s campaigns.

The Sept. 4 ad features an Ohioan blaming Husted for spearheading “the push to bring data centers to Ohio” and linking their expansion to “higher electric bills.”

The facility featured in the ad, which opened in Lancaster in 2023, is owned by Google.

Campaign finance records reviewed by Fox News Digital show Google’s corporate PAC contributed $20,000 to Brown over his political career. Brown also received thousands of dollars from individuals who lobby for Google, including two whose firms have worked on permitting, grid reliability and energy affordability issues.

“Apparently, Google is terrible enough to put in a campaign attack ad, but perfectly acceptable when the political contributions are coming in,” Mehek Cooke, a GOP strategist and attorney in Ohio, said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “That is the contradiction Brown needs to answer. If Google’s Lancaster investment is so bad for Ohio, why was Google political money acceptable to Sherrod Brown?”

Do as I say, not as I do.

Democrat Gov. Ned Lamont’s Former Budget Boss Flees America by Boat and Plane Hours Before Corruption Sentencing — Accuses Biden’s DOJ of Weaponization

Former Connecticut deputy budget director and Democratic state representative Konstantinos “Kosta” Diamantis reportedly fled the United States for Greece before appearing in federal court for sentencing on corruption convictions.

Konstantinos “Kosta” Diamantis, former deputy budget director under Gov. Ned Lamont, former director of the state’s school-construction grant office, and a former Democrat state representative, skipped Thursday’s federal sentencing in Bridgeport after slipping out of the country on a route prosecutors described as Florida to the Bahamas by boat, then a flight to London, then Greece, CT Insider reported.

Diamantis faced more than a decade in prison. Federal prosecutors asked U.S. District Judge Stefan Underhill for 10 to 12 years after a jury convicted him last October on 21 counts of extortion, bribery, conspiracy, and lying to the FBI. The new sentencing date is September 30, with or without him in the room.

His own lawyer told the court he is not coming back.

The escape the court was warned about.

Diamantis had been free on a $500,000 bond. Prosecutors had already flagged the obvious flight risk: he obtained Greek citizenship and a Greek passport while the case was pending, and he had repeatedly asked the court for permission to travel to Greece, WFSB reported.

The judge still left him out. Lamont later said he was “shocked” the man was not wearing an ankle bracelet. Too late.
