Democratic Congresswoman Calls Out GOP Colleague’s Marijuana Arrest As He Works To Upend D.C. Sentencing Reform Law

A Democratic congresswoman is accusing a Republican lawmaker of hypocrisy for sponsoring legislation to upend a Washington, D.C. sentencing reform law when his own charge for marijuana possession in his youth was dismissed under a court’s discretion.

The House of Representatives on Tuesday took up bills targeting D.C. policies that recently advanced through the Oversight and Government Accountability. That included a measure titled the DC Crimes Act from Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), which would restrict the District’s ability to enact sentencing reform.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) said the GOP congressman’s push for the legislation represents a double standard given his own personal history with cannabis criminalization as a young adult and whose case was dismissed, enabling him to reach Capitol Hill.

“As a young man, he went through pretrial diversion for misdemeanor marijuana possession,” Crockett said. “As an adult yet younger than 24, he was placed on felony robbery charges, which ultimately, too, were expunged.”

“As I sat and listened to the beginning of this debate, my heart simply broke. And many people know me for being able to do alliterations, and all I could think about was ‘amnesia allows adolescent accountability avoidance, agility from across the aisle,’” she said.

“Work with me for a second: Imagine being a young man born to Jamaican and Panamanian parents who messed up not once but twice. Imagine standing in front of a judge with your life hanging in balance, and instead of prison you’re given a promise of mercy. Your record is wiped clean, and you’ve got a second chance at life. Imagine turning that into a promotion and you go to college and get a job and even become a member of Congress. That’s what redemption looks like.”

“That’s what America is supposed to be about. And that is exactly the story of the next wannabe governor from Florida, as a young man, he went through,” the congresswoman said, referring to Donalds.

‘Trump next please’: Democrats on Bluesky call for MORE political violence

If you used the Bluesky app in the past couple of days, it would be hard not to notice just how bloodthirsty the Democratic Party has become — especially in the wake of the assassination of the right’s beloved Charlie Kirk.

One trend on the social media app has taken BlazeTV hosts Jill Savage and Matthew Peterson by surprise.

“There are a ton of crazies over there,” Savage says on “Blaze News: The Mandate.” “I am not on there, but they are basically saying, ‘Who’s next for all of this?’”

Leftists have been posting who they hope falls victim to the same fate as Charlie Kirk.

The most repeated names on this list include President Trump, J.K. Rowling, Joe Rogan, Matt Walsh, Ben Shapiro, Libs of TikTok, and Elon Musk.

“Charlie Kirk is dead (and has been for a few hours), Trump next please,” one user wrote on the left’s version of X.

“Unfortunately, this is what we will have to continue to deal with,” Savage says.

Blaze Media D.C. correspondent Christopher Bedford is also completely disturbed.

“The threats are real. The copycats are going to happen,” Bedford says.

“This really is a point where we can decide that we’re going to get better, or we can decide that we’re going to get much worse, much more quickly. And it’s going to take a serious turn by society, a serious rejection by the American left, by the universities — not just these businesses and these sports teams, but by the university system — of this kind of crap in order for this to actually have any kind of impact,” he explains.

“There needs to be significantly more accountability than there is right now. And funds need to be taken,” he continues. “And all these nonprofits that for the last five years have spent time funneling money towards bail funds for rioters, towards printing T-shirts that have guns on them with the trans flag that says ‘defend it’ … these people who fund groups that are professional agitators — well, those funds need to be ceased, and those boards of directors need to be investigated. These are crimes.”

MTG Expertly Smacks Down Jasmine Crockett After the Disgraced Congresswoman Echoes Jimmy Kimmel and Claims that Charlie Kirk’s Assassin is a MAGA Republican

Disgraced Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) got a much-deserved mackdown after not learning from Jimmy Kimmel after he lost his ABC show for defamatory comments regarding the Charlie Kirk assassination.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, the left-wing Kimmel told his late-night audience on Monday that a MAGA REPUBLICAN murdered Kirk and accused the right of trying to score political points off of it.

“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel claimed.

After his comments, Nexstar announced that all 32 of its ABC broadcast affiliates will preempt “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” indefinitely, blasting Kimmel’s sick comments about Kirk’s murder as “offensive and insensitive.”

However, Crockett decided to echo Kimmel during a congressional hearing on Thursday and claim Robinson was all MAGA. To back up her lie, she cited an article from far-left Yahoo.

But Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) would not let Crockett off the hook and schooled her with some basic facts. She pointed out not just the fact that it has been proven Robinson was a radical leftist, but the assassin had a transgender lover who called himself a furry.

MTG next pointed out that the type of language and lies utilized by Crockett contributed to not just Kirk’s assassination, but also the near-assassination of President Trump and the 2017 Congressional Baseball shooting, where Rep. Steve Scalise was nearly killed.

MTG went to warn Crockett that these types of lies will no longer be tolerated.

Thicko Rep. Jasmine Crockett Insists Committing Crimes ‘Doesn’t Make You a Criminal’

Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett has insisted that committing a crime does not make you a criminal.

In an interview with the Netflix star Jonathan Van Ness, Crockett began by explaining that her entire left-wing worldview has been shaped by her time working in the criminal justice system.

“It’s just understanding what ends up having people become criminally impacted really informs so much of what I do legislatively, right?” Crockett continued.

“So, when people are like, ‘Oh, you know, crime is terrible.’ And, yes, it is. Because when somebody goes out and commits a crime, they don’t typically say, ‘Well, I’m a D, I’m a R, I’m a I.

“It’s not like, literally like, it’s about, how do you fix it? How do you make communities safer?”

Crockett went on to argue that being a criminal is actually about one’s “mindset” rather than any crimes they have committed.

“And, so, I do want people to know that just because someone has committed a crime, it doesn’t make them a criminal,” she explained. “That is completely different.

”Being a criminal is more so about your mindset. Committing a crime can come from a lot of different reasons,” she continued.

Pennsylvania Mayor Sparks Outrage After Saying He Is ‘Glad’ Charlie Kirk Is Dead

Bernville, Pennsylvania Mayor Shawn Raup-Konsavage (D) sparked outrage after posting on social media that he is “glad” Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk is dead.

“This is what MAGA represents, This is what Trump lowered flags for. If this represents you then I don’t want to hear that you are offended that I’m glad he is gone,” the Bernville mayor posted.

This is not the first time that the mayor has enflamed controversy.

After the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July 2024, he posted, “Try harder.”

“That Trump post that he had posted, there was a lot of controversy with that in this town, a lot of hatred towards him after that,” Mark Rodriguez, a Bernville resident, said.

“Me, I really don’t care honestly, but it’s sad when everybody judges this man based on his opinion. He’s done great things for this town; he’s helped a lot and with all this going on it seems like he just shelters himself now,” Rodriguez continued.

Wayne Lesher, the Bernville council vice president, said, “He said what he wanted to on his own Facebook page which is freedom of speech and all that, but I certainly don’t agree with it and I think what he said was terrible. You’re celebrating the death of somebody; that’s nothing to celebrate.”

“It does have consequences. Several people have lost their jobs because of what they said, and you have freedom of speech to say what you want but you can pay for it too,” Lesher continued.

JB Pritzker Claims He Has Never Called Republicans ‘Nazis’ – Gets Proven Wrong by Videos of His Own Words

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker recently claimed that he has never called Republicans ‘Nazis’ but that is a laughable suggestion.

There is video evidence of Pritzker, repeatedly comparing the Trump administration to Nazi Germany, stoking fear about the idea of losing democracy and trying to make people fear Republicans.

This is the type of rhetoric that led to the assassination of Charlie Kirk and even if the Democrats won’t admit that out loud, they know it.

Breitbart News reports:

Radical left-wing Illinois Governor JB Pritzker (D) was hit with an avalanche of fact-checks after he made the false claim that he never called Republicans “Nazis.”

The far-left governor was peppered with questions about his past comments during a press conference Monday, and in response he vehemently refuted claims he ever called Republicans “Nazis.”

“That is completely false. I have never called Republicans ‘Nazis,’” Pritzker exclaimed Monday after going on a tirade claiming that it is Donald Trump, not Democrats, who is “actively fanning the flames of division.”

But the truth is, Pritzker has spent months calling Republicans and Donald Trump Nazis. Indeed, in February he did just that in his official State of the State address where he compared Donald Trump and his administration to Hitler’s Nazi regime.

Pritzker said in that official address:

The authoritarian playbook is laid bare here: They point to a group of people who don’t look like you and tell you to blame them for your problems. If you think I’m overreacting and sounding the alarm too soon, consider this: It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic.

Dem Mazie Hirono admits ‘physiological differences’ prevent many women from doing pull-ups for FBI fitness test

Democrat Senator Mazie Hirono protested a pull-up requirement that has been implemented at the FBI since Kash Patel became the agency director. Patel was in a hearing on Tuesday in the Senate. Hirono cited “physiological differences” between men and women as the reason, despite the common left-wing argument that gender is a social construct and the near total party refusal to define the word “woman.”

Patel was speaking answering questions during a Senate Judiciary hearing, when Hirons asked, “You are now requiring applicants to be able to do a certain kind of pull ups, which a lot of women cannot because of physiological differences. Are you requiring these kinds of pull ups?”

Left-Wing Streamer Steven Bonnell, AKA “Destiny” Calls For Conservatives to be Killed More Often So They Will be Afraid to Attend Events Or Speak Out

Left-wing streamer Steve Bonnell, AKA “Destiny” called for conservatives to be killed more often so they will be afraid to attend events or speak out.

TPUSA founder and conservative political activist Charlie Kirk was gunned down last week by a far-left assassin who lived with a transgender partner.

Last summer, President Trump was almost assassinated when he was shot in the ear by a left-wing gunman at a campaign event.

Radical leftists have been violently attacking and threatening conservatives for years and this left-wing streamer is openly calling for more violence.

“You need conservatives to be afraid of getting killed when they go to events so they look to their leadership to turn down the temperature,” Bonnell said. “The issue is right now they don’t feel like there is any fear – like, I don’t know

Was the Current Madness Birthed in the University?

merica is currently sick.

The young conservative organizer and media personality Charlie Kirk was just murdered in a political assassination by a 22-year-old ‘anti-fascist’ and trans advocate, Tyler Robinson. As planned, he eliminated the most astute and successful political activist in a generation. Indeed, Kirk may well have ensured that Donald Trump won the 2024 election by not just increasing his youth vote by 6 percent since 2020 but, more importantly, by margins in the swing states of 15-24 percent, ensuring Trump’s victory.

No sooner was he killed than thousands on left-wing social media erupted in celebration—among them scores of teachers and professors. Their venom was eerily reminiscent of their earlier canonization of left-wing murderer Luigi Mangione. Recall, Mangione was the spoiled nepo baby who lethally ambushed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Thereby, he became an icon to the Left as a social justice warrior fighting the evil capitalist system, which had so enriched himself and his own family.

Such utter moral bankruptcy was on display as well by the social media praise of Palestinian activist Elias Rodriguez (“Free Palestine”), after he brutally murdered a young Jewish couple at the Jewish museum in Washington, D.C. Rodriguez supposedly showed the world how to deal with Zionists—reifying the hateful rhetoric that pervades the modern campus.

Was that ghoulishness confined to such anonymous left-wing nuts and fringe trolls?

Not really.

MSNBC’s guest “analyst,” Matthew Dowd, casually raised an asinine suggestion that the lethal shot came from a Kirk supporter firing off a round. And then, in Pavlovian fashion, he blamed the assassination of Kirk—on Kirk himself—for being an unapologetic “divisive” activist.
