“Shameful and Desperate” – Maine Senate Candidate Troy Jackson Pushes Back But Doesn’t Deny Having Kids With Cousin

Democratic Maine Senate candidate Troy Jackson has broken his silence on reports that he married (co-mingled with) his second cousin and fathered children with her. 

Notably, there was no denial of the report. Instead, his campaign chalked it up as “Personal attacks on Troy’s family” as if there’s nothing wrong with marrying your own relative.

“Susan Collins will do anything to distract from the fact that she votes with Trump 96% of the time and has sold out working people in Maine. Personal attacks on Troy’s family are shameful and desperate,” the Jackson campaign said in a statement to Fox News.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, it was revealed that Jackson’s wife is actually his second cousin. The pair had two children together.

“Jackson, a 26-year politician and lobbyist, has made a career of bragging that he’s a is a fifth-generation logger, but you don’t have to go far back the generational line to find where it crosses paths with the ancestors of his significant other Lana M. Pelletier,” Maine Wire editor-in-chief Steve Robinson revealed.

“Jackson and Pelletier share the same great-grandparents: Thomas Pelletier and Edith Thibodeau. Thomas and Edith’s daughter Albertine was Troy’s grandmother; their son Louis Sr. was Lana’s grandfather. That makes Troy and Lana second cousins on the Pelletier line.”

Parents Who Starved Their 75-Day-Old Baby to Death Will Get No Jail Time After Guilty Plea – Guess Who the Judge Is

Two parents in New York state who pleaded guilty to starving their baby to death will receive no jail time after a guilty plea to second-degree manslaughter.

All thanks to a Democrat judge. What a surprise.

Court documents reveal that Londyn Gonzalez, a two-and-a-half month old baby, was found dead at an apartment in Cheektowaga, New York, after paramedics responded to a call for an unresponsive child on July 7, 2023, according to The Post Millennial.

While the baby was born at a healthy weight on April 20 of that year, during follow-up appointments, a medical provider said she was concerned about the baby’s inability to gain weight and told the parents to increase the amount of formula she was receiving.

While she was 6 pounds, 8 ounces at birth, she was only 8 pounds, 4 ounces at the time of her death.

Furthermore, her parents had skipped the last follow-up on May 8, just 30 days before her death — which officials ruled was due to malnutrition and dehydration. Her parents, Luis Gonzalez Jr., 26, and Kitrina Udrea, 23, both of Buffalo, were charged with manslaughter. The two pleaded guilty in May.

“The investigation determined that the defendants, while acting in concert with one another, recklessly caused the death of their infant daughter,” the Erie County, New York, district attorney’s office said in a media release.

Jasmine Crockett Criticizes Black People Who Voted for Trump: ‘Like, Really?’

Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas was recently giving remarks at an event for the National Urban League, where she told a story about a young black woman whose father may have voted for Trump.

It seems inconceivable to Crockett. Democrats always act mystified when black people vote Republican.

It’s also worth noting that this is a typical Crockett moment. She is just overflowing with undeserved self-confidence.

Townhall reports:

Jasmine Crockett Bashes Black Trump Supporters

Soon-to-be former Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett (TX-30) has a huge problem with black people who don’t vote for her party.

During a recent panel discussion, Crockett recounted hearing from a young black woman who told her that her dad did not want to vote for former Vice President Kamala Harris. “He was like, ‘if I go vote, it’s going to be for Trump.’”

“And she asked him, and I asked, I said, ‘did he vote?’ She was like, ‘I don’t know. I don’t want to ask.’ But nevertheless, One of the things that she said was, ‘my dad said he could trust Trump.’ And I was like, ‘really?’ And so the reality is that that’s not the first time I’ve had that conversation,” Crockett continued.

Dolt Kamala Harris Promises to Destroy America If Elected – Including Expanding SCOTUS, Dump the Electoral College, Give DC and Puerto Rico Statehood

Unimpressive dolt Kamala Harris, the second most unimpressive presidential candidate in US history, spoke at the National Urban League’s annual conference in Nashville, Tennessee on Friday.

Obviously, it is apparent that the former VP is looking at another run for president in 2028. Because she is.

She should probably work on her ridiculous word salad rambling nonsense while she has some down time. Maybe get a speech coach?

Kamala explained to the Urban League members how she would help Americans if elected… Just kidding.

Kamala promised to rig the system to give all power to Democrats.

She has learned nothing from her historic loss to Donald J. Trump.

Nutcase James Talarico Tries to Suggest the Bible Requires the Passage of a Government-Run Healthcare System

During a recent campaign event, Texas Democrat senate candidate James Talarico used the Bible to justify the idea of a government-run healthcare system.

This is what Talarico always does. He uses Christianity to justify left wing political policy. It’s the only time he ever discusses his faith.

You will also notice that when talking about this plan, he says that they must finish what Obama started, which is an admission that Obamacare was meant to be a Trojan Horse for government-run healthcare.

Breitbart News reports:

Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico said Scripture requires the government to guarantee health coverage, telling a Texas church crowd that the New Testament makes a public health insurance option a Christian obligation.

Talarico made the argument at a town hall he held at a DeSoto church on July 20, footage of which his campaign posted Saturday under the title “James Talarico Unveils Plan For Black Voters.” The Austin Democrat argued the country should “finish the work of President Obama” and pass a public option, then grounded the pitch in the Gospels.

“Because health care is a human right. It is not a privilege,” Talarico said.

Talarico told the crowd he wanted to speak scripturally, given the setting, and pointed to how Jesus spent his ministry.

“If you read our scriptures, if you read the New Testament, what does Jesus spend most of his time doing? It’s not preaching, it’s not teaching, it is healing. Healing the sick,” Talarico said. “And in Matthew 25, scripture says that’s how we will be judged and how we will be saved. By healing the sick, by feeding the hungry, by welcoming the stranger, by visiting the prisoner.”

Far-Left Chicago Mayor Brags About Protecting Illegal Aliens Over Americans and Creating ‘ICE-Free Zones’ in His Crime-Plagued City

In an interview on The Joy Reid Show, Chicago’s far-left Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson made a series of shocking statements, including that he prioritizes protecting illegal aliens and has created “ICE-free zones” in the city.

Johnson also claimed that the Trump administration is an example of the “tyranny and fascism” that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. warned about.

Johnson left little doubt about where his loyalties lie when discussing protection for various groups in Chicago.

“I’m going to stand up and protect working people… undocumented immigrants…whoever you are,” he stated.

Craziest Part Of New Biden Tapes Is That Media Who Covered For Him Still Have Jobs

Newly released audio of former President Joe Biden shows him struggling to remember names and dates and losing his train of thought during 2016 and 2017 interviews. But the most damning part about the audio tapes is that the propagandists masquerading as journalists who spent four years concealing his decline are still employed.

The Oversight Project, a government watchdog group, fought for more than two years to get the tapes released. The tapes and transcripts cover Biden’s conversations with his ghostwriter, Mark Zwonitzer, between 2016 and 2017. These tapes were used by Special Counsel Robert Hur during his investigation into whether Biden mishandled classified information.

Ultimately Hur found “Biden’s memory was significantly limited” during both the interviews with Zwonitzer and Hur himself. Hur also concluded that “Mr. Biden’s recorded conversations with Zwonitzer from 2017 are often painfully slow, with Mr. Biden struggling to remember events and straining at times to read and relay his own notebook entries.”

The newly released tapes show Biden struggling to recall the names of two of his former economic advisers in April of 2017: “including the two guys who I think were with me, were — oh, God. The guy at Princeton now. Economist. Good guy, was our, our chief economic advisor. Not Kaufman. I’ll think of his name.” Biden later said: “I should write the names down because I keep forgetting them.”

In another instance Biden could not recall the date of a memorial service for a fallen service member: “I think I went to that memorial service in Wilmington. It says [REDACTED] December the 4th, but I don’t — I know what this means. Memorial service — [REDACTED] gets names really f–ed up,” Biden said.

“So it says memorial service for [REDACTED]. I don’t think her name was [REDACTED]. Or I forget [REDACTED].”

In another instance Biden couldn’t recall what he was going to say.

“What was I going to ask you?” Biden said. “Oh, gosh. I, I can’t think of what it is.”

These recordings don’t just add additional proof of Biden’s cognitive decline; they also prove that the problem was noticeable before Biden reentered the White House in 2021. Biden only continued to decline, and Americans watched it unfold. Yet Democrats and legacy media assured Americans repeatedly that Biden’s cognitive decline, which was on full display during the 2024 debate, was a sudden development rather than the culmination of years of warning signs.

The Biden administration understood how politically damaging his decline was, with Hur having testified that the White House urged him to alter the “references to the president’s poor memory” in his report on Biden’s mishandling of classified documents. Hur also testified that Zwonitzer “attempted to destroy evidence following Hur’s appointment to investigate the mishandling of classified information,” as The Federalist reported.

But White House officials could not have kept up the deception on their own. They needed an accomplice willing to tell Americans not to believe what they could hear and see. That accomplice? The propaganda press.

Days before the infamous debate, The New York Times had a report that read: “How Misleading Videos Are Trailing Biden as He Battles Age Doubts.” The Times’ editorial page had an essay entitled “I’m a Neuroscientist. We’re Thinking About Biden’s Memory and Age in the Wrong Way.”

Raskin Launches Probe of Scheme to Sell Insider Access to Trump Truth Social Posts

“Are you helping the president sell people advance access to market-moving information?”

That’s the opening line of a Thursday letter that US House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) sent to Kevin McGurn, interim CEO of President Donald Trump’s Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) Corp.

TMTG runs Trump’s Truth Social platform and earlier this month announced plans to launch “Truth API” by August 1. API, or application programming interface, lets software applications talk to each other. Critics have warned that the new endeavor will give Wall Street firms faster access to posts by the president and other top accounts.

“Trump Media’s target market for buyers of this service is ‘high-frequency and algorithmic trading firms,’ which would each pay a
handsome $100,000 monthly subscription fee,” Raskin wrote. “Nearly half of each fee would go directly into the pocket of Donald Trump, who owns roughly 41% of the company’s shares through a trust that he continues to control.”

“Put another way, Trump Media will soon be selling early access to President Trump’s so-called ‘Truth’ missives to the most sophisticated investment firms in the world,” he stressed. “This insider-information scheme will enable Wall Street to profit from the president’s frequent market-moving posts on major businesses and cash in on swings in stock prices caused by the president’s buying and selling (or pumping and dumping, if you prefer) of publicly traded stocks to unwitting retail investors.”

As Investopedia pointed out Thursday: “In recent months Trump has posted about new developments in the Iran War, which is particularly important for buyers and sellers of futures contracts who are trying to ascertain where oil prices are headed. Over the past year, he has also posted about tariff policy, government investments in publicly traded companies, and other corporate news developments.”

Additionally, as Raskin highlighted, “Trump has promoted over 20 companies on his Truth Social account shortly after purchasing the companies’ stocks, including government contractors where the Trump administration exerted substantial ability to move markets in those companies’ favor. Donald Trump Jr.’s investment firm, 1789 Capital, has posted a staggering 200% investment return since his father’s return to the White House, with the president recently admitting that his oldest sons are coventurers in his corruption.”

Once the new service is up and running, “whenever President Trump uses Truth Social to announce that a ceasefire is imminent, or prematurely leaks US jobs data, his customers will now be able to front-run the market using their privileged access to his social media posts, leaving retail investors, pension plans, and retirement accounts irreparably disadvantaged,” he warned. “This is precisely the type of harm that federal securities laws are designed to prevent.”

“A Shameful Relic of Our Jim Crow Past” – Democrat Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger Restores Voting Rights for 66,000 Felons Before Midterms

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger announced on Friday that her administration has restored voting rights for more than 66,000 felons since taking office in January. 

The Democrats gained 66,085 new voters with this move.

Their rights to serve on a jury, run for public office, and become a notary public were also restored under Spanberger’s direction.

“By giving these Virginians back their ability to make an impact at the local, state, and national levels, we are empowering our neighbors to take hold of their second chance,” Spanberger said in a statement.

Virginia is one of three states that strips convicted felons of their right to vote.

Spanberger’s predecessor, Republican Glenn Youngkin, previously rolled back a policy of automatically restoring felons’ rights and chose to evaluate applications on a case-by-case basis.

According to the Blaze, Youngkin had restored the right to vote for about 10,000 felons.

“The right to vote is foundational to who we are as Americans. As a Member of Congress, as a candidate for Governor, and in the months since I took office, I have heard from many Virginians who have shared their personal stories of redemption with me — and heartfelt reflections of the moment their voting rights were restored by previous Governors,” Spanberger said.

“I’m proud that — after contending with my predecessor’s efforts to deny Virginians their fundamental rights — we have restored the rights of more than 66,000 Virginians who have served their time. These Virginians deserve the right to use their vote, make their voices heard, and be recognized as contributing citizens to our Commonwealth and country.”

She further urged voters to vote yes on a constitutional amendment that would automatically restore voting rights to convicted felons upon completing their sentences. She called the practice of stripping voting rights from felons “a shameful relic of our Jim Crow past.”

The governor wrote, “This fall, voters can cast their ballots for Virginia to no longer strip so many of our neighbors of their fundamental rights — a shameful relic of our Jim Crow past. I hope Virginians will join me in voting yes.”

Not only is Spanberger trying to get as many convicted-felon voters as possible, but her state is now pausing the removal of noncitizen voters from the voting rolls 90 days before the election in accordance with a court settlement between Virginia and the Campaign Legal Center.

According to Judicial Watch, “Virginia cancelled 6,531 declared non-citizen voter registrations. But Virginia entered into a settlement with leftist groups to pause the program to remove declared noncitizens from voting rolls for the 90-day period before federal elections.”

According to Judicial Watch, The more than 6,500 noncitizen voters were removed between 2024 and June 2026.

Powerful Democratic Donors Terrified About 2028 Due to ‘Floundering’ DNC: Report

The Democratic National Committee has had a no good, very bad year. That, of course, does not bode well for the 2028 presidential election cycle, and powerful Democrat donors have noticed.

According to Politico, the DNC’s embarrassing missteps under Chair Ken Martin have donors griping and looking for alternatives.

One donor, for instance, described the DNC as “sort of floundering right now.”

And that might have been the most generous assessment Politico received from more than half a dozen donors, donor advisors, and bundlers — those who collect many individual donations — nearly all of whom spoke anonymously.

“Nobody wants to give [Martin] or DNC money at this point, but worry is focused on the day after the midterms, because the DNC is more of a presidential player,” a Democratic bundler said. “It’s beyond embarrassing and it’s not going to get better until he is gone.”

Meanwhile, one donor advisor warned that the DNC’s failures under Martin mean that contributions will dry up after the 2026 midterms. That could change, however, if the DNC replaces Martin.

“We need an overhaul, and I think that’s what my folks will be in support of. And if that happens, there will be end-of-year giving, December will be a boom,” the donor adviser said. “But if it’s Ken, and it’s just the same — same old nonsense — I can’t make the case.”
