ACTUAL FASCISM: Dem Senator Elissa Slotkin Wants to Scare Young People from Working for Trump Out of Fear of Prosecution

Democrat Senator Elissa Slotkin of Michigan recently appeared at the University of Chicago for the live taping of a liberal podcast.

At one point in the conversation, she described her preferred strategy of going after not only President Trump, but the people in his inner circle who ‘enabled’ him.

She then says that she wants young people coming out of college to be too afraid to work with his administration for fear of ‘a ton of problems.’

These are the people who are calling you a fascist.

Transcript:

I want to look at these signature cases, and not just focus on the president, but on the people who enabled him.

I want young people coming out of school to say, should I go work for the Trump administration? Like, that sounds fun, I might get an opportunity.

I want them to be like, Lord, that might be buying myself a ton of problems that I don’t want, and so let me avoid participating in that.

I want that deterrence message sent.

ZERO SHAME: After Going Missing for Almost Two Weeks, James Talarico Says if You’re Running for Office You Have to ‘Show Up’

Far left Texas Democrat James Talarico recently went completely missing, vanishing from the campaign trail for almost two weeks. The only explanation that was ever given was that he was suffering from the flu.

Despite this, Talarico boasted to a crowd this week about doing a town hall event on CNN, which was little more than a campaign infomercial, and said that when a person is running for office, they have to ‘show up’ for the interview.

Democrats do stuff like this because they have absolutely no fear that anyone in the media will call them out for it.

From Twitchy:

James Talarico is out here delivering a sermon on the sacred duty of “showing up for the job interview” as U.S. senator—complete with a rally video scolding Ken Paxton for partying in London on the Fourth of July and Dubai with alleged fugitives while dodging debate stages — yet the same guy who just vanished from the campaign trail for nearly two weeks with a suspiciously persistent “flu” that had Paxton’s team and half the internet circulating missing-person posters and demanding proof of life.

The Presbyterian seminarian who spent his time off the trail apparently too contagious (or too something) to face Texas voters now wants credit for attending a friendly CNN town hall, as if that erases the disappearing act right before early voting. Nice try, preacher boy; maybe preach that “show up” gospel to the mirror before you start pointing fingers at Paxton’s travel itinerary.

Kamala Harris admits to far-left ideas that Democrats will impose on America if elected

ormer presidential nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris this week presented a number of what she considers top Democratic Party goals, should the party retake Congress, that appear more far-left than those being pitched to potential voters during the midterm cycle.

She expressed her views on the “Baby, This Is Keke Palmer” podcast posted Tuesday on what a Democrat-controlled Congress should try to advance including expanding the Supreme Court, changing the Electoral College and statehood for Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C.

“I believe that we need to expand the Supreme Court. We need more justices,” she said, while also mentioning more affordable housing and healthcare and the high cost of “groceries and gas.”

She also said, “If the folks [in Congress] want it, we should push for statehood for Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C.”

Such comments appear divergent from what House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries outlined as 2026 Democratic candidates’ unifying message.

“Fighting for an affordable America – that’s what unites Democrats all across the country,” Jeffries said recently at the party campaign headquarters in Washington.

Still, Harris is far from alone.

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville told party members that if they win both chambers, then the White House in 2028 should “make Puerto Rico [and] D.C. a state, and they should expand the Supreme Court to 13” on day one, advising them to “Don’t run on it. Don’t talk about it. Just do it.”

Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., endorsed the same court expansion on Meet the Press, calling 13 justices, compared to nine now, “a pretty good number” and a “baker’s dozen.”

Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, in May introduced legislation to increase the number of high court seats to 13. Green lost his reelection bid in a party primary, and it’s unclear whether another Democrat House member will champion the issue.

Washington, D.C., statehood remains a standing Democratic priority through the Washington, D.C. Admission Act, which would create two new senators and a House member for a district that votes overwhelmingly Democratic. These proposals, which would add Senate seats and reshape the high court, have circulated among party figures for years and would become far more viable with control of Congress.

Obama to Stump for Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan — Having Once Put His Sister-in-Law on a Terror Watchlist!

Barack Obama is preparing to campaign for far-left Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed.

Obama is scheduled to appear alongside El-Sayed in Detroit on October 24 as Democrats battle to retain the Michigan Senate seat against Republican Mike Rogers.

However, court records indicate El-Sayed’s sister-in-law previously sued the federal government over her alleged inclusion on a terrorism watchlist during Obama’s presidency.

Mariam Jukaku, the sister of El-Sayed’s wife, Sarah, participated in two federal lawsuits back in 2016 challenging her placement on the government’s Terrorist Screening Database.

The lawsuits were brought with assistance from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), an organization that supports those with ties to Islamism.

“Were We Supposed to Get These Questions Beforehand?” — Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan Confronts Democrat Mary Peltola During Alaska Senate Debate After Spotting Her Reading Prepared Answers

Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan of Alaska did not hold back during Thursday night’s high-stakes “Debate for the State” in Anchorage when he spotted his Democrat opponent, former Rep. Mary Peltola, appearing to read from scripted notes or answers.

Sullivan appeared suspicious after observing Peltola consulting her notes and suggested that her responses looked suspiciously prepared.

“We weren’t supposed to get these questions beforehand, were we?” Sullivan asked the moderators from Alaska Public Media and Alaska’s News Source.

The moderator replied firmly: “Neither one of you got questions beforehand. Absolutely not.”

Sullivan didn’t let it go. “Okay, I’m just watching my opponent read from questions that seem to be answered.”

Peltola’s response was pure Democrat confidence: “I’m prepared.”

Wisconsin Democrat’s ‘Number One Priority’ As Secretary Of State: Driver’s Licenses For Illegal Immigrants

JoCasta Zamarripa, the Democratic nominee for Wisconsin secretary of state, told WMTV that her top priority if elected is getting driver’s licenses for people in the country illegally – and she wants David Crowley to be the governor who signs them into law.

Asked whether Crowley, the Democratic nominee for governor and Milwaukee County executive, had signed on, Zamarripa acknowledged the two haven’t discussed it yet. “We’re going to talk soon,” she said, adding that she feels “confident” he’ll back it because “as a legislator he was supportive.”

Years of Bills, None Passed

Zamarripa, a Milwaukee alder and five-term former Assembly member, has pushed “driver card” bills for undocumented immigrants for years, and none became law. One version she sponsored would have issued licenses that couldn’t be used to board a plane or enter a federal building; she pitched it then as economic development: “Latinos are great consumers.” An earlier version specified the card would not be valid for voting.

Her case now is public safety:

“Driver’s licenses for undocumented Wisconsinites is going to improve the public safety of all Wisconsinites, whether they’re fifth generation U.S. citizens or brand-new, newly arrived immigrants, because it’s going to mean more folks with a driver’s license driving on our roads, more folks accessing affordable automobile insurance.”

An Office With No Say

Wisconsin has barred undocumented immigrants from getting licenses since a law took effect in 2007. Gov. Tony Evers put licenses for all in his budget proposals, and Republicans on the Joint Finance Committee stripped them out.

The job Zamarripa is running for wouldn’t change that. Wisconsin’s secretary of state doesn’t issue driver’s licenses or run elections – the Department of Transportation and the bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission do – and the office mainly keeps official records and the Great Seal. Zamarripa concedes as much: “I’ll no longer be that legislator with the vote in that way, but I believe I can use the office as a platform.”

Her pick for governor has been blunt on immigration. “When it comes to immigration, I’m not an ally; I’m an accomplice,” Crowley has said on the campaign trail. He has said he doesn’t see “any scenario” in which local law enforcement would want to partner with ICE, and Republican Tom Tiffany has built an ad around the line, cutting it between crimes committed by illegal immigrants in Wisconsin.

The Fond du Lac Case

The interview landed the same week Fond du Lac County District Attorney Eric Toney charged Elmer Jose Cardona Bustillo, a Honduran man prosecutors say is in the country illegally, with knowingly operating a vehicle while suspended, causing great bodily harm. Immigration records show he was ordered removed by an immigration judge in November 2015, Toney said.

According to the complaint, the pickup Cardona Bustillo was driving struck a 50-year-old woman with Down syndrome in a crosswalk shortly before 5:45 a.m. on Oct. 9, and he acknowledged knowing he wasn’t allowed to drive. He told officers he didn’t see her; the complaint notes it was dark and she was wearing dark clothing. She was airlifted to Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee, where Toney said she is “fighting for her life.” Cardona Bustillo is presumed innocent; a preliminary hearing is set for Oct. 23.

MS Democrat Senate Candidate Scott Colom Struggles to Explain His Transgender Surgery Position

Undercover video obtained by Breitbart News shows Mississippi Democrat Senate candidate Scott Colom struggling to string together a coherent position on the topic of child mutilation surgeries, saying he can’t remember the particulars of a letter he signed on the subject, doesn’t think the procedures should be legal, but also doesn’t believe in prosecuting doctors who perform them.

The two-and-a-half minute exchange shows Colom becoming increasingly agitated over the topic.

Colom, a local prosecutor, said he couldn’t remember details of a letter he signed in 2021 condemning efforts to criminalize “gender-affirming care for transgender people” by the far-left group Fair and Just Prosecution.

The group’s letter says laws banning gender mutilation are “blatantly unconstitutional attacks on some of the most vulnerable Americans [which] will deeply harm public safety.”

The letter is titled “JOINT STATEMENT FROM ELECTED PROSECUTORS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT LEADERS CONDEMNING THE CRIMINALIZATION OF TRANSGENDER PEOPLE AND GENDER-AFFIRMING HEALTHCARE”.

The signatories state:

“[W]e pledge to use our settled discretion and limited resources on enforcement of laws that will not erode the safety and well-being of our community. And we do not support the use of scarce criminal justice and law enforcement resources on criminalization of doctors who offer medically necessary, safe gender-affirming care to trans youth, parents who safeguard their child’s health and wellbeing by seeking out such treatments, or any individuals who use facilities aligned with their gender identity.”

Colom is one of more than 75 signatories, who also include individuals such as Shannon Taylor, the Democrat nominee in Virginia’s 1st Congressional District, Chesa Boudin, the former San Francisco prosecutor who was removed from office in a recall vote over his soft-on-crime policies, and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison.

He says to the undercover journalist, “So, I’m not for gender-affirming surgery for children… a ban is not a criminal thing.”

When pressed again he says it’s not legal for the doctors to do it, “but I wouldn’t criminally prosecute somebody for it.”

Colom begins to get more agitated when asked what is life-saving about transgender mutilation surgeries.

“I didn’t write the letter… I don’t remember all parts of it because it was a long time ago,” says Colom.

The letter was publicly released in June 2021.

Colom then shouts, “Listen, I have never been for gender-affirming surgery for children. I’m personally pro-life… I don’t think it should be legal, but I don’t think it should be criminal. I don’t think you should prosecute a doctor in court and send them to jail for — ”  Here the reporter breaks in, saying “mutilating children?” before Colom finishes his sentence with “– for healthcare procedures that the parent and child agree to.”

Becoming more agitated by the back-and-forth, Colom says, “What I’m saying is this: It’s fine that it’s civilly, you can’t do it. Doctors cannot do it. I don’t think this is a criminal situation. Maybe you want to prosecute a doctor for that surgery, that’s great. Run for DA, you can run on that, and good luck with that policy! I stand behind my position that it’s not a criminal issue because we can’t criminalize social issues!”

Colom is challenging Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in the November election. She blocked his nomination to a federal judge position during former President Joe Biden’s administration. According to Mississippi television station WJTV, Hyde-Smith cited concerns at the time about large contributions from organizations connected to George Soros allegedly donating to Colom’s campaigns beginning in 2015.

Report confirms: Democrats in ‘total control’ of 5 states with the biggest debts

A new report confirms that Democrats are in “total control” in five U.S. states with the biggest debts, while North Dakota ended up on the other end of the scale, with Republicans in control there, and the state’s $21 billion more than it needed to pay bills.

According to an analysis by the Washington Stand, the Truth in Accounting organization gave the GOP-run North Dakota an “A” grade for having a surplus of $72,300 … per taxpayer.

“While oil, gas, and coal tax revenues declined due to lower energy prices, the decrease was offset by strong investment earnings and federal grant revenue,” the TIA report said.

The report, the 17th annual version of the “Financial State of the States,” assesses the 50 state governments in terms of assets and liabilities.

In North Dakota, Republicans hold the offices of governor, attorney general and secretary of state, and have majorities in both the state House and Senate.

The other end of the scale was occupied by New Jersey, with just $56.8 billion to fund $219.1 billion in outstanding debt, the report said.

“Every New Jersey resident would have to pay $45,800 in taxes to eliminate the deficit. The biggest share of the outstanding debt is in unfunded pension and retiree health care benefits. The former debt is more than $79 billion, while the latter exceeds $91 billion,” the Washington Stand documented.

There are Democrats in all the state’s biggest executive branch jobs, and Democrats in majorities in both legislative chambers.

The Stand confirmed, “Connecticut is the second least healthy state government, according to the TIA report, with every resident having to pay an additional $41,400 in taxes to restore the Nutmeg State’s financial health. Third is Illinois, with a deficit per resident of $36,900, followed by Massachusetts, where $24,100 would have to be paid by each resident, and California at $16,000.”

Democrats are in control of all branches of those governments.

The healthy part of the state population is seconded by Alaska, with a surplus valued at $64,200 per resident. Alaska Republicans occupy the three highest executive branch positions, and the GOP controls the state Senate, but Democrats hold the lower chamber, the report said.

Wyoming is No. 3, with a surplus valued at $30,300, followed by Utah at $14,900 and Tennessee at $11,400. Republicans hold all of the top executive branch positions, as well as control of both chambers of these states’ legislatures.

SHOCKING REVELATION: Unearthed Video Shows Soros-Funded Candidate Jocelyn Benson Explaining How She Worked Undercover for SPLC—Was an Informant for The FBI

In an unearthed video, Michigan Secretary of State and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jocelyn Benson can be seen campaigning for her first run for secretary of state in Michigan in 2010. The event was held in Houghton, Michigan, at a Democratic Party office. At the time, Benson was new to politics, but somehow caught the attention of George Soros, who apparently saw someone he aligned with in his quest to destroy everything good and decent about America and helped fund her campaign. To date, 4 members of the Soros family, including George Soros, have contributed a whopping $33,120 to Jocelyn Benson’s current 2026 Michigan gubernatorial campaign.

Jocelyn Benson is seen standing in front of what appears to be a kitchen, addressing a crowd of fellow Democrats. During her introduction, Benson said she was raised in Pennsylvania and that, after graduating from Harvard Law School in 2004, she worked for the Southern Poverty Law Center in Alabama. Although their stated mission is to root out “hate groups,” many believe the SPLC is in and of itself a “hate group,” used to target conservative groups by mislabeling and mischaracterizing them in an effort to destroy their credibility.

Benson doesn’t explain exactly how she became an FBI informant through her undercover work for the SPLC, but she makes sure to include this little tidbit in her resume when addressing potential voters.

Democrats Continue to Attack the Second Amendment Even After Heroic Good Guy with a Gun Ends Bend Elementary School Shooting That Killed Three Children and a Teacher

A 16-year-old opened fire Thursday at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, killing three children and a teacher before an armed bystander followed him inside and shot him dead.

The brave “good guy with a gun” was reportedly the father of a student at the school.

Democrats in Congress responded by calling for gun control.

The attacker used a pump-action shotgun his mother had purchased. He first fired at a vehicle in the parking lot around 12:59 p.m., then shot through locked exterior doors to force his way in.

Inside, the shooter killed children ages 5, 8, and 11 and a teacher.

A 7-year-old student and a 54-year-old teacher were critically wounded.

Bend Police Chief Mike Krantz said an armed bystander saw the teen entering with the long gun, pursued him, and engaged him.

The suspect was already dead when officers arrived.

Governor Tina Kotek called the bystander a hero.

The father, obviously, prevented more deaths.

That did not stop the usual response from the left.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren posted that her heart went out to the victims and that “there have been over 50 school shootings just this year. Congress must do much more to prevent gun violence.”
