Even the Left Is Tired Of Her: Ilhan Omar Gets Major Primary Challenge From Anti-ICE Lawyer

Perhaps it’s not surprising that liberal Minneapolis prosecutor Julie Le, who went viral for telling a judge “this job sucks” in protest of immigration enforcement is looking for a new job. It’s also not surprising the new job she’s seeking is that of a lawmaker running on an anti-ICE platform.

What is surprising is who the Democrat is taking on: Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar, the left’s most obnoxious sacred cow.

As the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported Thursday, the former federal attorney who lashed out at a judge over ICE enforcement during Operation Metro Surge is gunning for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. House in Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District.

“Former Assistant Chief Counsel at the Department of Homeland Security and former Special Assistant United States Attorney at the United States Attorney’s Office, Julie T. Le has witnessed firsthand the failures of our broken immigration system,” her campaign website reads.

“Now she’s running for Congress to fight for real reform — and to fight for quality education and accessible healthcare for all families … Her vision is clear: Inspire Unity — a government that works for everyone, bringing people together to solve our greatest challenges through comprehensive immigration reform, education funding, and accessible healthcare for all families.”

“Julie’s campaign is centered on immigration reform that balances border security with a fair pathway to citizenship for those who contribute to society,” a media release from Le’s campaign said, according to Minnesota Public Radio.

Of course, this whole run wouldn’t have been possible if it weren’t for the fact that Le effectively crashed out of public service during a Feb. 3 hearing in which she had what could charitably be described as an — ahem — episode.

Telling the judge that she had “stupidly” accepted the assignment with the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Minnesota, she all but begged the judge to penalize her so she could get a mental health day:

“Sometime I wish you would just hold me in contempt, your honor, so that I can have full 24 hours of sleep,” she said.

“What do you want me to do? The system sucks. This job sucks,” she added.

Le was quickly removed from the detail, according to the New York Post.

Harris for Peace? Neocons Exist on BOTH Sides

The Democrats are taking to the media to declare that war could have been prevented has Kamala Harris won the election. That narrative is convenient politically, but it ignores what the politicians themselves actually said. The desire for confrontation with Iran has existed on both sides of the political spectrum for decades. The problem is not simply one president or one party. The problem is the bipartisan foreign policy establishment that has long treated Iran as the central strategic enemy in the Middle East. The neocons exist on both sides.

During the 2024 campaign, Kamala Harris herself made the position very clear. When asked which country she considered the United States’ greatest adversary, she replied that the answer was “Iran.” That statement alone shows how deeply the Iran war narrative had already taken hold in Washington. Once a country is publicly framed as the primary adversary, the policy direction becomes predictable. Sanctions escalate, proxy conflicts expand, and eventually military confrontation becomes increasingly likely.

Yet now many of the same politicians who previously described Iran as America’s top enemy are suddenly condemning the war. Harris has recently criticized the Trump administration’s actions toward Iran, arguing against the escalation of the conflict. The shift in tone is typical Washington politics. When out of power, politicians oppose the war. When in power, the same establishment often supports it. “Let me be clear,” Harris wrote in a statement shared on the social platform X. “I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm’s way for the sake of Trump’s war of choice.”

Liberal ‘Expert’ Completely Crumbles When Asked the Simplest Question on Earth

Sen. Bernie Moreno questioned a policy witness about illegal immigration during a hearing, pressing him on whether entering the United States without permission should be considered a crime.

The exchange occurred during a discussion on immigration policy, where Moreno repeatedly asked Brendan Duke whether he believed unlawful entry into the country should carry criminal consequences.

Moreno began the questioning with a direct inquiry.

“Do you think it should be a crime to enter the country illegally?” Moreno asked.

Duke responded by saying he was unfamiliar with the issue.

“I don’t know anything about this,” Duke said.

Moreno followed up by clarifying that he was not asking a legal technical question but rather seeking Duke’s personal view.

“You don’t have to, look I’m not a lawyer. You don’t have to be a lawyer. It’s a simple question: should it be a crime?” Moreno said.

“I’ll say it slowly. Should it be a crime to enter the United States of America illegally without permission?”

Duke again replied that he did not know.

“I don’t know anything about this,” Duke said.

Democrats Advance Gun Control Blitz In Virginia With Abigail Spanberger Now In Office

Democratic lawmakers in Virginia moved forward Monday with a broad package of firearm restrictions, reviving proposals that had previously been blocked under former Gov. Glenn Youngkin as they test whether the state’s new governor, Abigail Spanberger, will support the measures.

During a nearly four-hour meeting, the Democratic-controlled Senate Courts of Justice Committee approved more than half a dozen gun-related bills addressing assault-style firearms, gun storage requirements, concealed carry reciprocity, ghost guns and firearms carried in public places.

The committee rejected the lone Republican-backed proposal, which would have increased mandatory minimum penalties for repeat firearm offenses.

All votes taken during the meeting followed party lines.

The legislative push comes amid heightened political attention surrounding gun policy in Virginia.

Dem Lawmaker Seriously Suggests Studying the Upsides of Shoplifting 

A discussion during a Minnesota House Labor Committee meeting drew attention after State Representative Dave Pinto raised the idea of studying whether individuals benefit from shoplifting, prompting a sharp response from fellow lawmaker Krista Knudsen.

Knudsen addressed the issue publicly after the committee meeting, expressing disbelief over the suggestion that shoplifting could provide any benefit.

“Hey, Minnesota State Representative Christa Knutson, so today in the Labor Committee, Representative Dave Pinto requested a study for the benefits of shoplifting,” Knudsen said.

Knudsen said she could not identify any positive outcomes from theft for businesses that are targeted.

“There are no benefits to shoplifting for the people that are being shoplifted from I have no idea what else to say,” Knudsen said. “I’m shocked.”

Knudsen repeated her reaction while discussing the issue further.

“Actually, I don’t even know what to say,” she said.

DISGRACE: “Hero” Police Officer on Hakeem Jeffries’ Jan. 6 Memorial Plaque INDICTED on 9 Felony Counts Including RAPE — Allegedly Drugged and Assaulted Nearly a Dozen Women

A former Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officer, hailed as a “hero” on a controversial Capitol plaque honoring law enforcement’s response to the January 6, 2021 protests, has been slapped with a superseding indictment on multiple felony counts, including rape, sodomy, and abduction.

Timothy Valentin is currently sitting behind bars facing a mountain of felony charges.

According to Alexandria police, Valentin was first indicted by a grand jury in December and was indicted again Monday morning in three additional cases.

Valentin now faces the following charges in Alexandria:

  • Four counts of rape by force
  • Four counts of rape by incapacitation
  • Two counts of adulteration
  • Two counts of sodomy
  • Two counts of abduction with intent to defile
  • Two counts of sodomy by force or incapacitation
  • One count and aggravated sexual battery by incapacitation
  • 15 counts of unlawful filming

Valentin joined the Metropolitan Police Department in 2016 and served as a patrol officer during the events of January 6.

He left the department in 2022, but authorities say the crimes he is accused of committing occurred in 2024 and 2025.

According to investigators, Valentin allegedly targeted women he met through dating apps, inviting them out for drinks before drugging and sexually assaulting them once they became incapacitated.

Bombshell Divorce Filings Allegedly Reveal the Vulgar Lifestyle of an Illegal Alien Loving California Democrat Lawmaker, Threatening His Career

A pro-illegal Democrat Assemblyman in California is facing a sordid, career-threatening scandal after stunning </> divorce documents were recently unsealed.

As The New York Post reported on Sunday, Assemblyman Joaquin Arambula of Fresno finds himself in a legal battle with his wife, Elizabeth, who has made a series of alarming allegations that call into question his fitness not only as a lawmaker but as a family man.

In the unsealed documents, Elizabeth claims that her husband spends most of his days drinking, smoking marijuana, and playing video games during the day while hiding these activities from everyone he knows.

“For years, I have covered for Respondent’s struggles with alcohol, marijuana, and gaming, concealing them from our children, family, friends, and his professional circle,” Elizabeth Arambula states.

“On a typical day, he spent much of his time using his THC pen, drinking whiskey, playing games on his iPad, and taking a few meetings scattered throughout,” she added.

Elizabeth also alleged that Joaquin Arambula, who is running for Fresno City Council, got so drunk during the day that she had to drive him to work, and a government car sometimes took him back home.

Due to Joaquin’s alleged transgressions, Elizabeth is seeking spousal support and child custody for the couple’s three children, who are 11, 14, and 15.

In even more potentially foreboding news for Joaquin Arambula, his wife says she has documented proof of his misdeeds.

For example, the petition shows that Joaquin Arambula checked himself into Reflections Rehabilitation for a whopping $30,000, seemingly confirming at least part of his wife’s allegations.

Joaquin Arambula says that his wife is twisting the facts and seeking financial gain.

Democrats Destroy Two of Their Talking Point Lies With Their Own Votes

Sen. Katie Britt delivered a sharp rebuke on the Senate floor, accusing Democrats of attempting to defund key border security and federal law enforcement agencies while the country continues to face threats from drug trafficking, cartel violence, and national security risks tied to illegal immigration.

Britt argued that while Democrats now claim they no longer support open border policies, their current proposal would eliminate funding for Customs and Border Protection, including the Border Patrol.

According to Britt, the move would undermine agencies that have been directly responsible for reducing fentanyl-related deaths across the country.

Sen.

According to Britt, the move would undermine agencies that have been directly responsible for reducing fentanyl-related deaths across the country.

“Democrats claim they are no longer for open borders,” Britt said.

“Yet they’re now proposing to actually defund border security. Their proposal completely defunds the Customs and Border Protection, including Border Patrol.”

Britt pointed to recent data showing a decline in overdose deaths tied to fentanyl and credited CBP officers for the progress.

“Now, year over year, fentanyl deaths are down 24% when you take overdoses of drug and fentanyl deaths down 24% because of the good work of CBP, but you want to defund that. Why?”

WA Party-Line Power Grab: House Democrats Approve Bill to Remove Elected Sheriffs They Hate

Pierce County Sheriff Keith Swank is raising concerns about a new Washington state bill that would allow for the decertification of sheriffs, arguing the proposal could shift power away from voters and give state officials authority to remove elected law enforcement leaders from office.

Swank addressed the issue while discussing how the legislation could affect the position of county sheriffs across Washington. He said the measure could create a pathway for political authorities to remove sheriffs who were elected by local voters.

“My big concern is it takes away the right of the people to elect their sheriff,” Swank said.

Swank said he believes the bill could be used as a political tool by state officials to influence who serves as sheriff in counties across Washington.

“This is a weapon used by the Democrats to be able to control the sheriff’s Democrats control, as you know, the State House, the State Senate, every statewide elected official is a Democrat,” Swank said. “They control every single thing here in the state, except for sheriffs.”

According to Swank, the legislation would allow state authorities to decertify a sheriff and remove that person from office, after which a replacement could be appointed.

“And now the passage of this bill, they believe they’ll be able to control sheriffs. They’ll be able to decertify them, remove them from office, appoint the people they want to have in those positions, and then they have complete control over everybody,” Swank said.

Democrats’ War On Election Integrity Exposes Their Dirty Secret

During last week’s contentious hearing of the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, Delaware Sen. Chris Coons asked then-Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, with great concern, “Will you rule out the deployment of ICE or CBP officers to polling places this November?”

The secretary’s answer was sharp and to the point. “Do you plan on illegal aliens voting in our elections?”

Once again, Democrats are saying the quiet part out loud. The people who have told us for years that illegal aliens never vote, and that voter fraud doesn’t exist, are terrified of anyone actually checking to see if that is true.

Sen. Coons’ fears are echoed by former Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, who said in a recent X post, “Senate Dems need to put into the approps bill a prohibition on ICE agents being near polling places. This is a must-have.”

And just days after achieving a trifecta in state government, Virginia Democrats introduced legislation to do exactly what Inslee said — never mind that it’s completely unconstitutional.

If you’re an American with a job and a family, you’re probably scratching your head and asking, why is it the “last chance?” What is the governor talking about? Why are Democrats keeping immigration officers away from polling places? Here is where it gets even stranger and more suspicious.

When President Obama was elected in 2008, many Democratic ruling class figures came to believe that they would inevitably win every election in the future, no matter what they did, because of changing demographics. That hypothesis has been thoroughly refuted by the unprecedented MAGA movement and even repudiated by its own authors.

Nevertheless, the idea swept the Democratic Party like a fever, and it largely explains its sprint to the far left ever since. It also explains the Biden-era policy of letting millions of illegal immigrants into the United States. The last generation of Democrats bet big on immigration, not persuasion or popular policy, winning them elections.

Democrats claim that illegal aliens don’t vote, yet when the Trump administration asks to check voter rolls, Democrats refuse. When the Trump administration asks to see who blue states give Medicaid to, they refuse. When the Trump administration tries to deport violent criminals here illegally, Democrats refuse. It is an unsettling pattern of behavior.

The urgency from Democrats spanning Washington, D.C. to Washington state is another sign that President Trump’s policies and executive enforcement of the law are working. Last year, we saw international immigration cut in half, a decline in the foreign-born population by nearly two million, and millions of prospective illegal aliens deciding simply not to come to America. It’s a reversal of the trend Democrats have come to rely on for electoral relevance.
