Connecticut Dem Says ICE Is Jim Crow. DHS Replies With List of Illegal Alien Thugs

After the Democrat governor of Connecticut compared immigration enforcement to Jim Crow oppression — ironic considering Jim Crow was the Democrats’ regime — the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) replied with a disquieting list of illegal alien criminals arrested in Connecticut.

CT Mirror celebrated a gubernatorial bill signing May 4, claiming it would require federal agents to display their names or badge numbers — facilitating the already out-of-control doxxing against ICE — persecute ICE for defending themselves with lethal force, and prevent arrests at schools and churches. It appears that Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont might have made his disgusting accusations at his bill signing, when he claimed Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are “brutal,” criticized Trump for referring to criminal illegal aliens as “criminal aliens,” and compared immigration enforcement to the historical Know-Nothing party, anti-Catholic laws, and “Jim Crow laws.” “Never before…has it been led by the White House,” he pontificated, ignoring the numerous Democrat presidents who explicitly aligned themselves with the KKK and political violence.

DHS was quick to respond to Lamont’s propaganda with a list of the despicable illegal alien criminals who were living in — and quite possibly receiving taxpayer-funded benefits in — Connecticut before ICE arrested them. The aliens’ crimes include murder, pedophilic sexual assault, and child abuse.

WaPo Admits Many Democrat Voters Can’t Prove They’re Citizens

Not a single Democrat in the Senate is willing to support the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act, and a new op-ed from The Washington Post might just explain why.

The SAVE America Act would amend the 1993 National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) to require documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote and voter ID to cast a ballot in federal elections. The current “safeguard” preventing noncitizens from registering to vote and voting is a tiny square box on the federal registration form asking applicants to attest they are telling the truth about their citizenship status. In other words, the honor system.

The legislation passed the House (with a single Democrat voting alongside Republicans) but has stalled in the Republican controlled Senate, with a few RINOs and the entire Democrat apparatus opposing the election integrity legislation.

But perhaps Democrats are opposed to the common sense election integrity measure because the legislation would endanger New Mexico and turn the battleground of Nevada into a solid Republican state, according to analysis from Yale Law School Professor Ian Ayres and Yale research fellow Jacob Slaughter.

The two explain in their op-ed that they estimate at the national level, “89 percent of Democrats and 90 percent of Republicans hold qualifying citizenship documents, a difference that is not statistically significant.”

That seemingly meaningless 1 percent difference, however, would actually be state-flipping, according to Ayres and Slaughter.

“But because the composition of the electorate varies across states, national parity masks meaningful state-level variation — and what we find, looking state by state, is that the bill may significantly advantage Republicans in a few key ones.”

Ayres and Slaughter estimate that Democrats are 13 percentage points “less likely than Republicans to hold qualifying registration documents” in New Mexico. And while Ayres and Slaughter estimate the passage of the SAVE America Act would only have “modest” consequences for the midterms because those currently registered to vote would be “unaffected,” “as more people would need to register after moving, changing their names or reaching voting age, this document shortfall could flip New Mexico to an electorate where Republicans have a 3.3-percentage-point advantage.”

Ayres and Slaughter see the GOP having a similar advantage in the battleground state of Nevada. Their research shows that Democrats are 5.3 percentage points less likely than Republicans to have the required documents, and they project that passage of the legislation “would push [Nevada] from battleground to comfortably Republican.”

“Nationally, the overall effect leans Republican: Eight of 15 swing states show rightward shifts, and the only statistically significant results favor Republicans,” Ayres and Slaughter wrote.

Staffer for Dem Sen. Cory Booker Who Brought Gun Into Capitol Without a License Saw Charges Quickly Dropped: DOJ

A staffer for Democratic Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, who was arrested last year for bringing a pistol into the Capitol without a license, saw the charges quickly dropped and walked away from the incident without further consequence, despite lingering questions.

This is quite a surprise, especially given how radical the Democratic Party is about gun regulations, the Second Amendment, and gun-free zones.

In an article published last week, Politico reported the Justice Department recently discovered that the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia chose not to prosecute Kevin Batts in April 2025, about two weeks after his arrest.

Timothy Lauer, a spokesperson for Booker’s office, said in a statement that Batts didn’t face criminal charges because he had an active New Jersey retired law enforcement carry permit.

Batts is a retired Newark police detective and reportedly serves as a special assistant and driver for Booker.

This is strange, however, because at the time of Batts’ arrest, the U.S. Capitol Police said, “All weapons are prohibited from Capitol Grounds, even if you are a retired law enforcement officer, or have a permit to carry in another state or the District of Columbia.”

How did Batts get away with this? If an average citizen bought a pistol onto Capitol grounds, they’d likely be facing a judge and jury, or would be pressured into taking a plea deal, even if they, too, were a retried police officer.

A Capitol Police spokesperson said that the department “arrested Mr. Batts on March 31, 2025, for Carrying a Pistol Without a License (Outside Home or Place of Business), Unlawful Activities, Possession of Unregistered Firearm, and Possession of Unregistered Ammunition.”

When the U.S. Attorney’s office was questioned by Politico about the last three charges, it referred the outlet to its previous statement about Batt’s carry permit.

Batts even received $6,000 from donors for a legal defense fund, according to filings that were examined by Politico.

He received two contributions. One was reportedly for $5,000 from Elizabeth Naftali of Studio City, California, and $1,000 from Patrick Dunican Jr., of Ridgewood, New Jersey.

Naftali, a big Democratic Party donor, had contributed to Booker’s past campaigns. In a sickening and almost laughable twist, she also purchased artwork from Hunter Biden, the former president’s son who has been at the center of controversy for years.

The worst part of the story is the double standard, though. While Batts was allowed to slide, another staffer who had a similar issue back in 2021 didn’t get off so easily.

Capitol Police initially failed to catch a loaded Glock 9mm handgun when it passed through an X-ray screening machine at the Longworth House Office Building.

Jeffrey Allsbrooks, who said he “forgot the gun was in his bag,” proceeded to walk through security and was gone before they realized he might be armed. The building was put on lockdown until he was found.

Allsbrooks, who worked for the non-partisan House Chief Administrative Office, had a concealed carry permit in nearby Virginia, but was not licensed to carry in D.C. He was questioned and transported to Capitol Police headquarters, according to Roll Call.

He was processed, moved to a central cell block, and originally faced four charges: possession of an unregistered firearm, unlawful possession of a firearm; possession of unregistered ammunition, and possession of a large capacity ammunition feeding device.

FBI Investigates Tennessee Democrat Rep. for Allegedly Operating Fraudulent PAC That Scammed Donors on Behalf of Kamala Harris

A Democrat lawmaker in Tennessee is now under federal investigation in what could become yet another explosive scandal tied to the political fundraising machine of the Left.

According to new reporting, Tennessee State Rep. Torrey Harris (D-Memphis) is being probed by the FBI over allegations involving a potentially fraudulent political action committee (PAC).

The PAC, called WIN TENNESSEE PAC, with Harris serving as treasurer, was promoted aggressively on Harris’s own Facebook page during Kamala’s disastrous 2024 presidential bid, according to Nashville Banner.

The now-defunct website promised donors their money would fund trips to battleground states like North Carolina and Georgia, statewide advertising, and weekly organizing calls. It even claimed physical offices in Memphis, Nashville, and Knoxville.

None of it was real.

The website used a fake phone number (123) 456-7890, listed nonexistent field offices, and directed donations to a P.O. Box (later changed to a UPS Store address in Nashville).

A tiny disclaimer buried on the site admitted the PAC was not affiliated with Kamala Harris’s campaign, but that didn’t stop Harris from using her name to solicit cash from unsuspecting donors.

According to a bombshell report from the Nashville Banner citing multiple sources inside Tennessee Democrat politics, the FBI began asking questions about the PAC early in 2026. The probe also reportedly includes Harris’s mysterious personal business ventures.

The PAC never filed required FEC reports on time. It received three separate delinquency letters from the Federal Election Commission between October 2024 and January 2025. Only after the federal investigation was underway did Harris reportedly file, in late March 2026.

Eric Swalwell says his ‘friends’ in Congress — Raskin, Schiff, Jeffries — were as bad as he was

After Rep. Eric Swalwell’s political self-immolation as a sex harasser, I had hoped that he’d go hide under some rock and not be seen nor heard from any more.

Wishful thinking.

The New York Times reported that he’s still harrassing the interns.

But it seems more significant that with no one wanting to know him anymore, he’s decided to take a few of his former “friends” down with him.

Shouldn’t this be investigated? Shouldn’t Sen. Adam Schiff be in the witness chair in congressional hearings telling us which women he harassed, and any records of payouts to sex-harassment victims with non-disclosure agreements be revealed? Shouldn’t Raskin? Shouldn’t Jeffries? 

And Swalwell should be invited back to Congress by congressional leaders with a red carpet to tell all he knows.

Notice that the named culprits are all, like Swalwell, considered attack dogs for the Democrats, meaning, their leadership tolerates their sex harassment so long as they bark on cue. Maybe we could hear a little about that, too.

Ilhan Omar Faces Potential Legal Trouble After Ignoring Fraud Committee Deadline

Rep. Ilhan Omar is facing fresh scrutiny in Minnesota after a state House oversight committee said she has not complied with a document request tied to the sprawling “Feeding Our Future” fraud scandal.

State Rep. Kristin Robbins, chair of the House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Committee, has been pressing Omar’s office for records and answers related to the congresswoman’s contacts, public messaging and potential connections to individuals linked to the case. Robbins has argued the committee’s deadline has come and gone without the response she says lawmakers requested.

Omar, a Democrat who represents Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District, has been under pressure for weeks after Robbins accused her of “ghosting” the panel and declining to appear at a state hearing.

Robbins and other Republicans say the committee’s interest centers on Omar’s work around pandemic-era federal nutrition policy and how it intersected with the program that prosecutors say was exploited in one of the largest COVID-era fraud schemes in the country.

The Feeding Our Future case has drawn national attention after federal prosecutors alleged that hundreds of millions of dollars meant for child nutrition were siphoned off through fake meal counts, inflated invoices and coordinated paperwork. While Omar has not been charged in the case, Republicans have pointed to what they describe as unanswered questions and communications they want reviewed.

Far-left brewery owner who wished Trump dead running for governor of Wisconsin

The far-left brewery owner who offered free beer to celebrate President Donald Trump’s eventual death announced that he will seek the Democrat nomination for governor of Wisconsin.

As LifeSiteNews covered on April 27,  Minocqua Brewing Company posted to social media that “either a brother or sister in the Resistance needs to work on their marksmanship or he faked another assassination to get a positive news cycle” after the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, but “we stand at the ready to pour free beer the day it happens … our celebration of life is going to be legendary!”

The post was met with widespread condemnation by Republicans and even some Democrats, which Minocqua Brewing met with defiance, complaining about “Corporate Dems and politically naive Democratic gubernatorial candidates” for “tak(ing) the bait.”

Now, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that the self-proclaimed “progressive beer” company’s owner, Democrat activist and former Assembly candidate Kirk Bangstad, announced his gubernatorial ambitions on Saturday during a live-streamed event, claiming that the Democrat field so far does not impress him.

“I decided I’m not gonna stand for this anymore and I’m going to run for governor of Wisconsin,” he said. “We need somebody strong to run for governor, we need somebody who is battle-tested and can stand up to Trump, and I’ve been called the Trump of the left. Arguably, I am; I’m just a million times smarter, but I have the showmanship aspect.”

“What we haven’t heard so far is that five-alarm fire from any of the candidates running,” Bangstad said. “What’s important to the polls, if you poll every Wisconsinite, is the cost of eggs are high and the cost of gas is high, which is true, but you ain’t going to fix the cost of eggs if you can no longer vote.”

Wisconsin’s current governor, Democrat Tony Evers, announced last year that he would not seek reelection to a third term, leaving the race wide open for both parties. Currently, there are nine official Democrat candidates (not including Bangstad), the most prominent being former Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes; and two Republicans, U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany and medical service technician Andrew Manske (who says he would not advocate banning abortion), plus six independent candidates.

Karen Bass: Palisades Fire Victim Spencer Pratt ‘Exploiting the Grief’ of Palisades Fire Victims

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass accused reality television star Spencer Pratt of “exploiting the grief” of Palisades fire victims as he seeks to oust her from office, completely ignoring that he was a victim of those fires.

Pratt, known for the TV series The Hills, received a helpful boost to his mayoral campaign last week when billionaire Jeanie Buss, governor of the Los Angeles Lakers, donated the maximum amount to his campaign, elevating his potential chances. His popularity with aggrieved voters also accelerated when his first campaign ad — in which he criticizes Bass for living in a multimillion-dollar home while Angelenos suffer — went viral with over 12 million views.

Part of the reason why Pratt’s message has resonated so strongly with voters mainly stems from the fact that his home, which he shared with reality television star Heidi Montag, burned to ash in the Palisades Fire of 2025, prompting his entry into public activism.

During an appearance on MSNOW with Katie Phang, Bass called Pratt “reprehensible,” accusing him of exploiting others’ grief, seemingly unaware of the very grief he personally experienced when his home burned down along with thousands of others in his neighborhood.

“Honestly, before this, I had never even heard of Spencer Pratt,” the mayor said.

“But the thing I am concerned about is that I feel like he’s exploiting the grief of people in the Palisades. And I think that’s reprehensible. That’s the main thing. And I think that he is about his own celebrity, he’s famous now again,” she added.

Bass even recommended that Pratt take a “basics civics course,” blaming the wildfires on “climate change.”

“He could benefit by a basic civics course, because I don’t think he understands the basics of how any government works,” she said. “For me, these fires, it was the worst natural disaster that we experienced in our city. At the root of it, we have to get adjusted to, just like everybody else in the nation, to different weather experiences because of climate change.”

Leftist Indoctrination Factories Churn Out Would-Be Trump Assassins Every Day

Following the latest assassination attempt on President Donald Trump and members of his administration, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt lambasted both the media and elected members of the Democrat Party for their role in creating a “left-wing cult of hatred” that has legitimized political violence against the president and anyone who supports his policies: “Those who constantly falsely label and slander the president as a fascist, as a threat to democracy, and compare him to Hitler to score political points are fueling this kind of violence.”

This is undoubtedly correct; however, one key component of the “cult of hatred” was missing from Leavitt’s otherwise spot-on analysis: America’s higher education system.

It is this unholy trinity of the media, the Democrat Party, and academia, that has radicalized an entire Manchurian generation against President Trump — and the political right more broadly — in a way that will not disappear once Trump leaves the political arena.

The terrifying truth is that Cole Tomas Allen is not an anomaly or a “lone wolf whack job.” Rather, he is the latest weaponized “resistance” product to roll off the assembly lines of our leftist-infused Media-Democrat-Academia (MDA) industrial complex, with all three working in tandem to produce radicals like Allen.

The Media’s Moral Sanction

The MDA revolutionary feedback loop is primed by a media ecosystem that skews and morally frames news events with leftist bias to produce public outrage which subsequently serves to stir up political violence against their political opposition.

The media accomplishes this through the use of “empathy triggers” to forge continuous narratives that bypass the rational mind and provoke visceral, often violent confrontations and responses, as we saw with the unfortunate death of Renée Good, who took it upon herself to insert herself and her car into an immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis.

Rather than report what actually occurred, the media framed her as someone who had merely dropped off her kid at school before ICE agents shot her for no reason at all.

We also see this in the normalization of the most extreme rhetoric that has found its way into once prestigious institutions such as The New York Times.

In a recent interview featured in the New York Times, radical commentator Hasan Piker — who commands an audience of millions of young people — cited Communist Friedrich Engels to justify Luigi Mangione’s murder of a health insurance executive by framing the assassination as a logical response to the “social murder” he claims is inherent in America’s for-profit healthcare system.

According to Piker, it is seemingly understandable when this “systemic violence,” which is a term found throughout academia, is met with actual, physical violence. 

Incredibly, interviewers Nadja Spiegelman and Jia Tolentino were all too happy to nod along in tacit agreement with Piker’s framing of the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Spiegelman even wondered whether murder in this context could be considered “effective political action” or not.

When the “paper of record” provides a platform for the justification of murder through the lens of Marxist theory, it can serve as the intellectual groundwork for individuals like Cole Allen to act.

Allen’s own written “manifesto” serves as the ultimate proof of this media-driven programming. In one passage, Allen wrote: “And I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.”

These are not the original thoughts of a lone madman; they are parroted chyrons from cable news, late-night talk shows, and viral headlines from America’s “resistance” media.

That resistance media marches in lockstep with the Democrat Party, and that lockstep begins at the top.

Former NJ Democrat Candidate Pleads Guilty to Voter Fraud Scheme

A former Democratic mayoral candidate in Plainfield, New Jersey, has pleaded guilty to forging voter registration applications connected to the 2021 Democratic primary election.

Henrilyn Ibezim, 71, admitted to the charge as part of a case stemming from his candidacy in that election cycle.

Ibezim ran on the Unity Party ticket during the primary, according to reporting.

New Jersey Attorney General Jennifer Davenport announced in a press release Thursday that Ibezim entered his guilty plea earlier in the week.

He was charged with one count of third-degree forgery.

“Under the terms of his plea agreement with the Attorney General’s Office of Public Integrity and Accountability (OPIA), the State agreed to dismiss the remaining counts in the indictment and to not prosecute the defendant for any other disclosed criminal violations arising out of his conduct during the Democratic primary for mayor in June 2021,” the attorney general’s office said.

Prosecutors indicated they will recommend a sentence of probation.

According to the charges, Ibezim was accused of attempting to submit a large number of fraudulent voter registration applications.
