Democrat Roy Cooper Was Sued for Defamation and Forced to Apologize in First Statewide Campaign

North Carolina Democrat U.S. Senate candidate and former Gov. Roy Cooper was forced to pay $75,000 and issue a formal apology to a Republican opponent in his first statewide campaign to settle a defamation lawsuit.

After serving 14 years in the North Carolina General Assembly, Cooper set his sights on becoming the state’s Attorney General in 2000. With the race considered to be close, Cooper’s campaign — led by the same consultant in this year’s race, Morgan Jackson — decided it needed to “hit Boyce and hit him soon.”

Not only that, Cooper personally made the false claims in the attack worse and said so himself in a deposition. From a Charlotte Observer report:

Cooper said in the deposition that he scratched out “demanding $1,200 an hour” and wrote in “charged $28,000 per hour.” The ad told voters that a judge said the fee “shocked the conscience.” The hourly fee, the ad went on to explain, was more than a police officer earned in a year. The commercial was broadcast across the state in the days leading up to the election. Boyce’s campaign urged Cooper to stop running the ad; it didn’t. Boyce lost the race, winning 46 percent of the votes to Cooper’s 51 percent.

According to Cooper’s deposition, it was he who took a draft campaign ad accusing Republican opponent Dan Boyce of “demanding $1,200 an hour,” scratched it out, and replaced it with the explosive claim that Boyce had “charged $28,000 per hour.”

The ad wasn’t true, and Cooper knew it.

The case referenced in the defamatory ad had been handled by Boyce’s father, Gene Boyce. The elder Boyce was never paid $28,000 an hour. The figure came from a judge’s calculation and he had been awarded a fraction of it. The underlying lawsuit had actually resulted in more than $1 billion being returned to North Carolina taxpayers.

Cooper fought the lawsuit against him and the case spent more than a decade in both state and federal courts. Not wanting to take accountability for his own actions, Cooper unsuccessfully asked the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene on his behalf. But as the case finally approached a public trial in 2014, Cooper caved.

In the settlement, Cooper paid $75,000, mediator fees, and delivered a written apology to the Boyces.

“You Don’t Know What You’re Talking About! Get Away From Me!” – Nancy Pelosi Loses it on Reporter Asking About Her January 6 Lies

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi lost it on a Lindell TV Reporter on Wednesday, shouting, “Get away from me,” when pressed on her security failures and lies about January 6. 

The House Oversight Committee released footage in 2024 that shows Nancy Pelosi taking responsibility for the January 6, 2021, protests and rioting at the US Capitol.

“I take responsibility for not having them just prepare for more,” Pelosi said, admitting that she was responsible for not having more National Guard present during January 6.

LindellTV’s Allison Steinberg asked Pelosi two years after the video was published: “You admitted on January 6 when your daughter was filming you that you were responsible for security failures. Will you admit that now? Why are you denying that, Congresswoman Pelosi? You also blamed former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund for his role in it when you denied the National Guard, I think it was 71 times. Your sergeant-at-arms denied the National Guard 71 times. Why is that? If this was a so-called insurrection, why did you refuse the National Guard? Please answer to the American people. They would like to know.”

“You don’t know what you’re talking about! Get away from me!” Pelosi snapped as she got into her vehicle.

BUSTED: ‘Blue-Collar Independent’ Senate Candidate Endorsed by Democrats Caught on Hot Mic Revealing Exactly What He Thinks About Rural Trump Voters

A so-called ‘blue-collar independent’ pushed by Democrats as their candidate in a key Senate race has unwittingly exposed his true feelings about GOP voters in leaked audio.

On Wednesday, the Republican National Committee shared leaked audio of Nebraska’s Dan Osborn, who is now running just behind with GOP incumbent Pete Ricketts in the polls, making some really sick remarks about salt-of-the-earth Americans who loyally support the Commander-in-Chief.

Osborn promotes his background as an industrial mechanic, Navy veteran, and union leader to fool Nebraskans into believing that he is one of them. He previously attempted the same trick two years ago and came up just over six points short against Senator Deb Fischer (R-NE).

Like last time, Democrats are not running a candidate in the Nebraska Senate race.

But notice how elitist and disgusting Osborn’s language is in the video. These are his true colors.

“Billy Bob is f**king Red Cloud, Nebraska, who lives next to the f**king Trump store as you pull into town and is waving the Trump flag. All he knows is that he is on the winning team,” Osborn says.

“It really is that simple, it is. And Trump…That’s why he’s been so effective,” he continues. “He’s been so effective at taking Billy Bob and his wife, Mary Jane, or Mary Jo, and telling them, ‘Look, we’re winning. You’re on the winning team.’

‘Shady’: Watch Dem activist admitting to ’roundabout way of paying people for their votes’

In a stunning development that does nothing to support the Democrats’ wild claims that election fraud is so rare as to be nonexistent, an official with a political action committee linked to Democrat socialist Texas Senate candidate James Talarico has admitted to “essentially” paying people for votes.

“It’s a roundabout way of paying people for their votes, essentially,” explained Sky McAdams, an “organizing manager” for Texas Majority PAC, on an undercover video.

The video, obtained by Townhall Media, explains the program offers voters $25 to attend a one-hour “class.”

“We are paying people $25 … a roundabout way of paying people for their votes,” explains McAdams.

It’s part of a scheme to elect Talarico to the U.S. Senate.

In the video, McAdams says it’s called a “paid relational program,” which is operated by Relentless that uses software called Rally. In a campaign finance report filed in July, Texas Majority PAC said it paid Relentless $500,000 for a “relational organizing program,” or about 20 percent of all its expenditures up to that point. At $25 per vote, that could be good for 20,000 ballots.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson Says Illegal Immigrants Are an ‘Essential Part of Who We Are’

Chicago’s far left Mayor Brandon Johnson is taking a page out of Zohran Mamdani’s playbook and claiming that ilegal immigrants play in essential role in America.

Newsflash for the mayor. No. They don’t.

Johnson was making his comments in response to the Trump administration’s move to block illegal immigrants from receiving any kind of welfare.

This is something that Democrats simply can’t or won’t understand. Johnson also obscured the difference between legal and illegal immigrants, a tactic often employed by liberals on this issue.

Breitbart News reports:

Chicago’s radical Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson joined New York’s socialist mayor to sue the Trump administration to protect legal and illegal migrants and their access to U.S. welfare programs, because, in his words, illegals are an “essential part of who we are.”

Johnson joined New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani in a lawsuit against President Donald Trump’s administration for shutting down welfare-dependent immigration to the United States through the “public charge” rule.

The Trump administration has resurrected the “public charge” rule, which makes legal immigrants less likely to secure green cards if they have used any form of welfare in the past, including subsidized healthcare services, food stamps, or public housing. But Democrats oppose the rule and claim that migrants who are not productive citizens have every right to be subsidized by the U.S. taxpayer through welfare programs…

In his message to the city, Johnson insisted that reinstating the rule “sweeps aside more than a century of settled law, as well as decades of federal guidance establishing clear limits on how public charge determinations can be made.” Johnson further alleges that the Trump administration’s rule “dramatically and unlawfully expands the government’s authority to consider an immigrant’s use of public benefits, allowing the federal government to consider virtually any means-tested or income-based public benefits while inviting officers to make decisions that are inconsistent and discriminatory.”

Johnson has just announced that he is going to seek a second term and ironically, this very issue could be a major stumbling block for him.

Black Chicagoans have been very critical of Johnson’s devotion to illegal immigrants while ignoring the needs of Americans living in the city.

CAUGHT ON TAPE: Talarico’s Own Church Minister Says His Sudden “Moderation” Is A Con – “Once He Gets Elected, He’ll Change His Tune Back to Where He Was”

An undercover video obtained by The Daily Wire has blown a hole in Texas Democrat James Talarico’s latest campaign makeover.

Rev. Babs Miller, the “Minister to the Parish” at Talarico’s longtime Austin congregation, St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, was recorded telling an undercover journalist that the Senate candidate’s new talking points on transgender ideology are political theater, and that the old Talarico will be back the minute the votes are counted.

“I can guarantee you that once he gets elected, he’ll change his tune back to where he was,” Miller said.

That is not a Republican talking point. That is Talarico’s own minister.

Miller did not stop there. When the journalist noted that Republicans were hammering Talarico over his infamous “God is non-binary” line, she answered, “Duh.” She then complained that Talarico is “getting some advice that I don’t think he should be following.”

“That’s what his campaign has convinced him of,” Miller said. “The Democratic Party is backing off on their stances on trans and all of this, and so his staff is encouraging him to kind of do the same thing, just for the next 50 weeks, whatever days.”

Then the tell: “I think it’s bad advice personally, but if it helps him win, okay…”

Body Cam Footage Reveals Maryland Democrat State Sen. LIED to Police About Drunken Hit-and-Run — Cops Let Him Walk Without a Sobriety Test as He Says “Governor Will Take Care of It”

Newly released body-camera footage and surveillance video have raised serious questions about Maryland Democratic state Sen. C. Anthony Muse after his Land Rover struck a parked vehicle and ended up partially on a sidewalk and on top of a tree.

The footage, obtained by Gary Collins of Spotlight on Maryland and reported by Fox Baltimore, shows Muse telling officers that his “driver” had parked his Land Rover Defender on a sidewalk and against a tree, an account that surveillance video directly contradicts.

The video shows Muse himself behind the wheel, maneuvering the SUV for several minutes before getting out and walking away alone.

The incident began shortly after 8 p.m. on Aug. 3 in Annapolis’s Eastport neighborhood while the Maryland General Assembly was meeting in special session over congressional redistricting. Muse’s SUV struck the mirror of a parked vehicle, and witnesses say he didn’t stop.

One caller told dispatchers she was “pretty sure he is intoxicated.”

Surveillance video shows Muse’s SUV later maneuvering for several minutes before coming to rest partly on the sidewalk and on top of a tree in the 400 block of Fourth Street. Annapolis parking enforcement issued a $100 citation.

When parking enforcement officers approached, one radioed to police: “The senator just entered the vehicle. I’m not sure he should be driving.”

‘I am ashamed’: ‘Lifelong’ Democrat has son and new bride killed by illegal alien on roads, now blames own party for disasters

A “lifelong Democrat,” as she described herself to Congress, has admitted being ashamed of how her party has handled the issue of illegal aliens being allowed into America.

Millions arrived under Joe Biden’s tenure in the White House, and despite a concerted effort by the White House of President Donald Trump, while millions have been removed, millions still remain.

A report at Fox News explains that Democrat Elizabeth Carter said her feeling developed when her son, William Micah Carter, and his newlywed wife, Jennifer Lower, were killed in a car crash triggered by an illegal immigrant, Rajinder Kumar.

He had jackknifed a big rig on the highway, and Carter and Lower, and their cat “Bert” hit the wreckage and died in the accident.

“Sixteen days after they were married, Billy, Jenny and her cat Bert were killed. They lost the Russian roulette game our government is forcing them to play,” Carter explained,

She said, “We allowed 10 million people in under Biden. How is there a different suggestion as to how to process them, other than the same way they came into the country, en masse, leaving?”

Under questioning from Rep. Brad Knott, R-N.C., she took aim at the Democrats.

“I have to say, as a lifelong Democrat, I am ashamed of what my party is doing.”

Knott said, “This is the question for the country to consider, is it worth enforcing our laws to protect just one American family?”

Rand Paul: Blue State Democrats Using Welfare System to Bribe People for Their Vote

Tuesday on FNC’s “The Will Cain Show,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) discussed alleged welfare corruption across the country and argued that some states used it to incentivize voting for Democrats.

“How do we exist as a nation, Senator, if we essentially are open to the world and give welfare to everyone that wants to come to the United States?” host Will Cain asked.

Paul replied, “No, we can’t. And, actually, a whole population of these people came. Not only they’re receiving welfare, but became experts at stealing welfare, so many of the folks in Minnesota. Now we found in L.A. I think they had 432 hospice centers in L.A. When they cut off their money, the Trump administration cut the money off, only 12 of them complained. That means the rest of them were just worried about being caught. They’re fleeing somewhere not to be caught. But that means 80, 90 percent of these things are fraud. We found the ‘Learing Center,’ the adult learning centers, all the stuff that Nick Shirley found in Minneapolis. So a big problem of this is that the federal government funds it and the state governments police it. So if you’re policing something you don’t pay for, do you really care if it’s wasted?”

“So it’s mostly blue states — New York, Minnesota, California, where the Democrats bribe people to get their vote. They say, here, you can all have welfare, and we’re not going to check to see whether you need it or not or whether you’re stealing it, because Uncle Sam, the federal taxpayer, is going to pay for it. It’s a terrible system, and I propose that we shift this all back to the states, so the payment and the policing would be at the state and they would bankrupt themselves if they didn’t police the system.”

Democrats Still Don’t Know How to Read Charts

Democrats can be unintentionally hilarious sometimes. Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) reposted a chart on X Tuesday claiming housing prices are “the most unaffordable in history,” and that it was Trump’s fault.

There was just one huge problem.

The chart Newsom shared showed that the housing affordability gap actually widened during Joe Biden’s presidency, and X users noticed almost instantly, flooding his replies with screenshots of the very data he’d just posted as though it helped his argument. It didn’t take long for the pile-on to turn Newsom’s own post into a meme about his reading comprehension.

But the funny thing about it is that Democrats keep doing this. In July 2025, the Democratic National Committee posted a chart that they thought proved grocery prices were spiraling out of control in Trump’s second term.

The chart told a different story. It showed a huge spike under Biden. The DNC had unwittingly undermined its own attack on Trump. Social media users mocked the party within hours, dissecting the chart line by line, forcing the DNC to quietly delete the post… not that that stopped us from making fun of them anyway.
