Trump Links Hakeem Jeffries to WHCA Assassination Attempt, Demands Criminal Charges

Trump posted an image of Jeffries standing by a photo of Trump that had the words “maximum warfare, everywhere all the time” upon it. Next to that was an image from a video that showed accused gunman Cory Tomas Allen as he arrived at the White House Correspondents Association dinner

“The Radical Left Democrats actually want to Destroy our Country,” Trump posted.

Multiple Biden officials bash former Cabinet official, gobsmacked by their rise CA governor race

Former Biden officials are anonymously taking aim at one of their own, ex-HHS Sec. Xavier Becerra, as he appears to ascend in the California gubernatorial race.

Becerra has emerged as a leading Democratic candidate in California’s jungle primary for governor after Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell’s dramatic exit from the race last month.

His rise, however, is mystifying his former Biden administration colleagues, according to a report from Politico.

“Six former Biden administration officials, all of whom were granted anonymity to speak candidly about a former colleague, acknowledged the subject of Becerra’s unlikely rise has come to dominate their group chats and conversations,” Politico reported Thursday.

“‘It gets the biggest laugh every time we send around a poll,’ the first former official said, describing the perception across the administration that the former HHS secretary was ineffective on the COVID response, a migrant health crisis at the border and other matters,” Politico continued. “‘He ran one of the most consequential agencies in government at the height of the pandemic. But he took a backseat to Dr. Fauci and his team, didn’t visibly lead on implementation and had to go through layers to get to POTUS even as a Cabinet member.'”

Leftist Mob Runs Trump Supporter Out of Concert: Crowd Erupts in Vulgar ‘F-ck Trump’ Chants Until They Flee in Viral Video

A Trump supporter wearing a MAGA hat was mercilessly harassed and driven from an Ashnikko concert at Hard Rock Live in Orlando after the liberal crowd spotted him and unleashed a torrent of obscene anti-Trump chants.

The disturbing incident occurred Tuesday night during the performer’s “Smoochies Tour” stop at the venue.

A viral TikTok video captured the moment the crowd noticed the man’s red MAGA hat, immediately jeering and shouting him down before breaking into repeated chants of “F-CK DONALD TRUMP! F-CK DONALD TRUMP!”

The supporter, clearly caught off guard, covered his face and quickly left the venue as the mob continued its tirade.

The TikTok user who posted the clip, who uses the name @ahorrorborealis, captioned the video, “He got so embarrassed he covered his face and left! Like literally WHO told you you could be HERE?!”

The video has since exploded online, with many on the left celebrating the public shaming of a conservative simply for wearing political apparel to a concert.

Reddit’s r/PublicFreakout thread was filled with mocking comments speculating the man was either “delusional” about Trump support or trying to provoke a fight.

Ashnikko announced that she is “queer,” “gender-fluid,” and uses she/they pronouns after facing backlash for “fetishizing” transgender people.

The Hollywood Mask reports, “In May 2021, Ashnikko came out as pansexual on Twitter while she was being criticized for fetishizing transgender people because of her song.”

Cory Booker Admits Dems Are Coming for Supreme Court if They Win Midterms

Sen. Cory Booker, a New Jersey Democrat, said this week that Democrats are still eyeing major changes to the Supreme Court if they win the Senate in November.

During a Tuesday appearance on “All-In with Chris Hayes” on MSNOW, Booker openly discussed “reforming” the court.

Host Chris Hayes noted that many Democratic voters increasingly believe “something has to be done” about the court’s conservative majority.

He asked Booker whether going after the court had become a priority for Democrats seeking to regain power in November.

“The Supreme Court is another example of an area where most Americans agree,” Booker claimed.

Booker then argued in favor of imposing term limits on Supreme Court justices.

“In addition, most Americans agree that Supreme Court justices shouldn’t sit on those benches until they’re so ailing,” Booker said.

“So, yes, we have to think hard about how we’re going to reform the court and bring it back into alignment,” he added.

He also accused the court of having eviscerated “years and years and years of progress” by ruling last week that states cannot gerrymander districts based on race.

Booker’s threat comes after years of Democrats and liberal activists openly floating proposals to restructure the court.

Karen Bass refuses to give ‘yes or no’ answer on whether noncitizens should vote in LA: ‘It depends’

Los Angeles mayoral candidates clashed Wednesday night when a simple yes-or-no question on whether noncitizens should be allowed to vote in local elections exposed a sharp divide.

During a debate hosted by NBC4 and Telemundo, moderator Enrique Chiabra pressed candidates for a yes-or-no answer. Democrat Mayor Karen Bass declined to do so, while Republican challenger Spencer Pratt responded flatly, “No.”

Bass instead said, “It depends,” adding, “It’s not a yes or no.”

The exchange comes as a Los Angeles city councilmember has renewed debate on the issue and is pushing to put the question before voters on the November ballot.

While federal law bars noncitizens from voting in federal elections, some U.S. cities — including a few in California — allow limited forms of noncitizen voting in local races.

When explaining her answer, Bass said the term “noncitizens” can include legal residents.

“Well, first of all, when you say noncitizens, it doesn’t mean they’re here illegally. It doesn’t mean they’re undocumented. They can have green cards. They could be here perfectly legal,” Bass said. “And there’s a lot of states and cities that do that on very, very local elections. We have to see what the councilman is proposing.”

Tennessee Democrat State Senator Stands on Desk, Fights with Sergeant at Arms After Republicans Pass New Congressional Map Eliminating Dem District

All hell broke loose on Thursday after Tennessee Republicans passed a new congressional map eliminating the only Democrat district.

Tennessee’s Republican-led House passed the new map that eliminates the state’s only majority-black district in Memphis.

Shortly thereafter, the State Senate passed the congressional map.

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed the new map into law.

NBC News reported:

Tennessee’s Republican-led Legislature passed a new congressional map splitting up the state’s lone majority-Black district, swiftly responding to the U.S. Supreme Court’s major redistricting ruling last week.

The redrawn district lines, which Gov. Bill Lee is expected to sign into law, put Republicans in position to gain a seat in this fall’s midterm elections and secure full control over Tennessee’s congressional delegation.

The new map carves up a Memphis-based seat held by longtime Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., into three districts, spreading the Democratic voters into more rural, Republican districts that stretch hundreds of miles east. It also further splits the Nashville metropolitan area, the state’s other Democratic stronghold, into five districts.

The long districts run across cross Tennessee’s distinct geographic regions and tie voters from different media markets and time zones together to achieve the desired partisan impact.

Democrat state lawmakers didn’t take it too well.

State Senator Charlane Oliver stood on a desk and got into a tug-of-war with the Senate Sergeant at Arms over her banner that read, “No Jim Crow 2 Stop the Steal.”

Breaking: FBI Raids Office of Virginia Democrat Behind ‘Ten F—in’ One’ Gerrymander Map

There’s a big story breaking in Virginia this Wednesday morning as reports are surfacing on social media that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is raiding the offices of Democrat Sen. Louise Lucas, who is president pro tempore of the Virginia state senate and the chief architect of the gerrymandered map that could possibly steal four congressional seats currently held by Republicans.

Bill Melugin of Fox News posted on X that the FBI is in the process of raiding Lucas’s Portsmouth office “in connection to a major corruption probe” and noted that federal law enforcement was “serving multiple search warrants, approved by a federal judge, at her office and a next door cannabis dispensary.”

BREAKING: @FoxNews is on scene in Portsmouth, VA where the FBI is raiding the office of Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore L Louise Lucas, a Democrat and close ally of VA Governor Spanberger.

Rep. Tim Burchett Calls for JAIL TIME for Radical Democrat Justin Pearson After He INTIMIDATED State Trooper During Redistricting Meltdown

The radical left’s favorite screaming agitator is at it again.

Far-left Tennessee State Rep. Justin Pearson (D-Memphis), the same serial disruptor who helped lead an insurrection inside the Tennessee State Capitol back in 2023 alongside the rest of the “Tennessee Three,” was caught on camera aggressively intimidating and cursing out a Tennessee Highway Patrol state trooper during Thursday’s chaotic special session on redistricting.

Video footage from the Tennessee State Capitol shows Pearson getting right in a state trooper’s face as officers attempted to remove disruptive protesters, including Pearson’s own brother, Keshaun Pearson, from the House gallery after Speaker Cameron Sexton ordered it cleared. Pearson, true to form, exploded in a profanity-laced tirade:

“MOVE THE FCK BACK! BOY!! What the f is wrong with you? You stupid motherf***r!”

He shoved the trooper’s arm away and continued berating the officer while trying to interfere with his brother’s removal.

Rep. Burchett didn’t mince words. In a direct response on X, the Congressman laid it out crystal clear:

“He needs to go to jail.”

Under Tennessee law, verbally threatening a law enforcement officer, including a state trooper, can constitute criminal harassment or assault.

Interfering with an officer’s duties, such as by obstructing them or refusing to comply with lawful orders, is also a crime, often charged as resisting arrest or obstruction.

HERE IT IS: Democrat Katie Porter Says the Quiet Part Out Loud About Illegal Aliens During California Governor Primary Debate 

California Democrat gubernatorial candidate and former Democrat Rep. Katie Porter said the quiet part out loud during Tuesday night’s primary debate.

Katie Porter admitted that illegal aliens are taking over California and she said that she supports healthcare for illegals.

This woman is dangerous – literally (just ask her ex-husband and staffers).

“Illegal aliens are one of the only ways California has been growing in recent years,” Katie Porter said.

Katie Porter routinely abuses her staffers.

Politico previously released a shocking video of Katie Porter berating one of her staffers during a call with the Biden Administration.

The abusive outburst happened in July 2021 while then-Democrat Rep. Katie Porter spoke with Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm in an online exchange.

Porter lashed out at a masked staffer who could be seen in the background.

“Get out of my f*cking shot!” Porter shouted as the staffer tried to correct something she said about electric vehicles.

“You also were in my shot before that. Stay out of my shot,” Porter said as she pounded her fists on a table.

Minnesota Democrats BLOCK Fraud Committee Subpoena into Somali Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Involvement with $250M COVID Fund Scam

Minnesota Democrats on the House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Policy Committee have officially blocked a subpoena targeting Rep. Ilhan Omar over her alleged connections to the state’s massive $250 million Feeding Our Future COVID-19 relief fraud scandal.

The funds were intended to feed low-income children during the pandemic, but were widely abused in scams largely linked to the Somali community.

The development unfolded Tuesday during the committee’s final meeting of the session.

Republicans pushed for the subpoena after Omar completely ignored a May 5 deadline to turn over documents and communications, including any links between her office and a convicted ringleader in the fraud scheme.

The vote fell short at 5-3, failing to reach the required two-thirds majority needed to issue the subpoena.

Democrats on the panel voted against it, effectively protecting the congresswoman.

Prosecutors say the taxpayer money given to Feeding Our Future was instead used for luxury cars, jewelry, and other personal enrichment.

Dozens have been charged, with many of them part of Minnesota’s large Somali community. Investigators specifically want Omar’s records regarding her interactions with key figures in the case.

Omar has not responded to the committee’s requests.

Republican Committee Chair Rep. Kristin Robbins stated that the failed vote will not end the push for answers and that more options remain on the table.

“We have reached out to Representative Ilhan Omar on multiple occasions, inviting her to testify and inviting and requesting documents,” Robbins told Fox News ahead of the vote. “We have endeavored in multiple ways to get access to [information] because, as everyone knows, Representative Omar had had some role, whether inadvertent or not. She passed the MEALS Act in March of 2020, and that took the guardrails off the federal school nutrition program, which created the conditions for [fraud].”

“I do think the subpoena is important. This is one of dozens, if not hundreds of things we are investigating. We have had hundreds of whistleblower reports. They continue to come in weekly,” Robbins added. “Even though the committee will no longer have official hearings we will continue to investigate these whistleblower reports and webs of fraud.”
