Just DAYS Before Ayanna Pressley Was Sworn In, Her Husband Quit a $92K Job to Launch a “Consulting Firm” — Family Net Worth Skyrockets to $8 MILLION

Another day, another socialist millionaire in Congress.

It turns out Ilhan Omar isn’t the only member of the far-left “Squad” getting rich while denouncing capitalism. New reports reveal that Massachusetts Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley has seen her family’s net worth explode since entering the swamp in 2018.

According to a bombshell report from Fox News, highlighted by Kayleigh McEnany and David Asman, the “anti-capitalist” Squad member has gone from a negative net worth when she was elected to holding assets worth up to $8 MILLION today.

Back in 2018, when Pressley first ran for Congress, her financial disclosures showed a negative net worth of around -$12,500 to modest figures, with limited assets.

Fast-forward to her 2024 disclosures (filed in 2025), and the picture is dramatically different: Pressley now reports assets valued between $1 million and $8 million, including a luxurious Martha’s Vineyard rental property worth up to $5 million and multiple Boston rental properties valued up to $1 million each.

In 2019, she only reported one Boston property. How does a congressional salary of $174,000 account for this massive windfall?

A key piece of the puzzle points directly to her husband, Conan Harris.

Just three days before Pressley was sworn into Congress in January 2019, Harris resigned from his $92,500-a-year position as a senior public safety adviser in then-Mayor Martin Walsh’s Boston City Hall administration.

He immediately launched his own consulting firm, Conan Harris & Associates.

Ethics experts raised red flags at the time, warning that the timing could create the appearance of profiting off Pressley’s rising political profile.

Harris, a convicted felon who served 10 years in prison for drug trafficking before turning his life around, cited the need for “professional flexibility” to support his wife’s career.

Yet his income reportedly tripled and more, reaching up to $350,000 by 2021 and even higher in subsequent years through consulting gigs with nonprofits, businesses, and organizations tied to government initiatives.

Pressley’s disclosures show the couple pulling in significant rental income, up to $350,000 in one recent year from property sales and rents, including from that posh Martha’s Vineyard home purchased in 2023.

While Pressley postures as a champion of the working class and demands rent relief for tenants, she’s quietly become a major landlord reaping capitalist profits.

David Asman ripped into the hypocrisy on Fox News.

Americans ROAST Leftist Singer Billie Eilish and Point Out an Interesting Fact After She Claims “No One is Illegal on Stolen Land”

Social media users are savaging one America’s top young pop stars and pointing out an inconvenient truth after she made tone-deaf comments during her victory speech at the Grammys on Sunday.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, privileged singers and performers hit the red carpet at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California on Sunday afternoon.

Many singers, including Kehlani, screamed “F**k ICE!” during their acceptance speeches.

Billie Eilish, though, went viral for other reasons.

After winning “Song of the Year,” she went viral for an incredible lack of self-awareness while trying to pander to her fellow millionaires and left-wing allies.

During her speech, she committed a brutal self-own by stating “No one is illegal on stolen land” before going on bash immigration enforcement.

“We need to keep fighting and speaking up,” she added. “Our voices do matter.”

“F**k ICE.”

As Radical Rhetoric by Sanctuary Politicians Leads to Unprecedented 1,300% Increase in Assaults Against ICE Officers, Adam Schiff Deceptively Editing DHS X Post

As the radical rhetoric by sanctuary politicians like Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) has led to an unprecedented 1,300% increase in assaults against ICE officers and a 3,200% increase in vehicular attacks, Schiff is on the hot seat after deceptively editing a Department of Homeland Security X post.

The original DHS post shared, “Want affordable housing? Help report illegal aliens in your area. Call 866-DHS-2-ICE.”

“If you are an illegal alien, you can take control of your departure using http://DHS.GOV/CBPHOME.”

Schiff shared the post, but deceptively edited it while, ironically, referencing Nazi propaganda, while doing a full Goebbels impression.

In his post, Schiff shared, “‘Turn in your neighbors, and life will be better for you.’”

“Logic circa 1930s Germany, now DHS policy.”

Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin slammed Schiff noting, “Wow. A sitting U.S. Senator manipulated and erased half of @DHSgov’s tweet.”

“Why does @AdamSchiff want to hide from the public that DHS is offering those in the country illegally $2,600 and a free flight home to self deport?”

Obama Is Big Mad That ICE Is Enforcing the Same Laws He Bragged About Enforcing

Batya Ungar-Sargon criticized former President Barack Obama for condemning the Trump administration’s deportation agenda following the death of Alex Pretti, arguing that the criticism misplaces responsibility and ignores the role of state and local officials who refused to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.

In remarks responding to Obama’s statement issued after Pretti was killed during a confrontation involving Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Minneapolis, Ungar-Sargon said the former president had reversed the facts surrounding the incident.

“Friends, we’ve let President Obama down. The former Democratic President would like you to know that the Trump administration’s deportation agenda is a threat to our nation,” Ungar-Sargon said.

She added that Obama made the claim in a statement published after Pretti “was tragically killed in a scuffle with ICE agents.”

Socialist NYC mayor’s mansion looks spotless while trash bags and filthy mounds of snow pile up on streets

New Yorkers are in disbelief as heaps of trash and filthy snow clutter the city’s streets while the grounds of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s $100 million mansion remain spotless. 

More than a week has passed since historic Winter Storm Fern brought more than a foot of snow to some NYC neighborhoods. 

But the Big Apple is still grappling with the aftermath – and fed-up residents have been forced to trek through slush and avoid smelly trash piles lining the roads. 

Massive mounds of plowed snow have been adding to the mess, as it has been too cold for them to melt and there are no signs of temperatures heating up anytime soon.

Meanwhile, the Gracie Mansion in the Upper East Side is in pristine shape.   

Mamdani and his artist wife Rama Duwaji have resided at the historic home in Carl Schurz Park, which is funded by a combination of private donations and NYC tax dollars, since January 12. 

Pictures of the sweeping property from Monday show an almost snow-free pavement, with small white heaps mixed with dirt neatly scooped out of the way. 

This is a stark contrast from what much of the rest of the city looks like.

Dem Governor’s Attempt to Frame JD Vance’s Holocaust Remembrance Day Post as Anti-Semitic Backfires

Hypocrites rarely acknowledge, let alone repent of, their own hypocrisy.

Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania undoubtedly will prove no different.

According to NBC News, Shapiro said in an interview Tuesday that Vice President J.D. Vance deserves criticism for failing to use the specific words “Jews” and “Nazis” in a Holocaust Remembrance Day post on the social media platform X, prompting X users, including a member of President Donald Trump’s communications team, to remind Shapiro that his own words on the occasion hardly differed from the vice president’s.

“Part of never forgetting is making sure that the facts of what happened are recited, are remembered,” the governor said. “The fact that JD Vance couldn’t bring himself to [acknowledge] that 6 million Jews were killed by Hitler and by the Nazis speaks volumes.”

As it happens, only Shapiro’s hypocritical silliness “speaks volumes.”

“Today we remember the millions of lives lost during the Holocaust, the millions of stories of individual bravery and heroism, and one of the enduring lessons of one of the darkest chapters in human history: that while humans create beautiful things and are full of compassion, we’re also capable of unspeakable brutality. And we promise never again to go down the darkest path,” Vance wrote Tuesday on X.

But the vice president failed to mention Nazis by name? Four pictures of Vance and his wife, Usha, at what remains of Nazi Germany’s Dachau concentration camp accompanied the post. If Shapiro and his ilk wish to interpret that as obscuring the Nazis’ responsibility for the Holocaust, more power to them.

Gavin Newsom ridiculed for desperately painting himself as living fraught and penniless childhood in new memoir… despite his family’s millionaire connections

Gavin Newsom has been trolled online for attempting to portray his childhood as financially fraught in a new memoir, despite having family connections with powerful politicians and billionaire oil magnates.  

Instead of politics, the California Governor’s 2026 book focuses on the struggles of his parents’ divorce, growing up with dyslexia, and working as a paper boy, according to the New York Times which received an advance copy of the autobiography. 

The likely Democratic contender for the next presidential election spent his childhood surrounded by some of the most powerful families in California, who backed his early business ventures and greased the wheels of his political ascent. 

His father, William Newsom, was a wealthy state appeals judge who introduced him to the Getty Oil executives he represented in court, while his aunt Barbara Newsom was married to Ron Pelosi, the brother-in-law of US Representative Nancy Pelosi.  

Yet his memoir, Young Man in a Hurry: A Memoir of Discovery, which is set to hit the shelves February 24, portrays him as a teenager who delivered newspapers because money was scarce at home. 

‘POOR LIL’ GAVIN,’ one person wrote on X in response to the Times’ review of the memoir. Everybody feels sorry for Gavin Newsom. He’s had a tough life.

‘So lunch at French Laundry?’ they added, referring to an expensive three-Michelin star restaurant in California’s Napa Valley which Newsom came under fire for dining at during the coronavirus pandemic lockdown in 2020. 

‘Oh poor baby… a rich brat with a sad life. The California Governor wants you to know he was rich but not happy, not that much,’ another critic wrote on X.

Hillary Clinton’s Hit Piece Against Several Christian Leaders Doesn’t Get the Response She Was Hoping for: ‘I’ve Never Been More Proud’

Through the centuries, many Christians have made the mistake of trying to guess the exact date of the Parousia. I will avoid that error. Christ’s Second Coming will arrive in God’s good time.

I will, however, propose that the Antichrist may already have walked among us for decades.

In an op-ed titled “MAGA’s War on Empathy,” published Thursday by The Atlantic, former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton — yes, Hillary Clinton, of all people — opined on what she regarded as the abandonment of Christian principles by Christian leaders, only to discover that those same Christian leaders regard her disapproval as a badge of honor, including one Christian leader’s friend who, on the social media platform X, declared, “I’ve never been more proud of my guy.”

Anyone who suffers through Clinton’s op-ed will come away deeply impressed by its lack of substance. At its core lies a tired liberal refrain: we (liberals) are good, and they — President Donald Trump and his supporters — are not. Clinton has done little more than echo that refrain by using her (misapplied) concept of empathy.

Citing recent violent protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Minneapolis, Minnesota — in the first paragraph, she even mentioned 37-year-old anti-ICE activist Alex Pretti, killed on Saturday during a confrontation with federal agents — Clinton built a particularly weak straw man (MAGA hates empathy) to compose a piece littered with ad hominem attacks.

“This crisis also reveals a deeper moral rot at the heart of Trump’s MAGA movement,” she wrote. “Whatever you think about immigration policy, how can a person of conscience justify the lack of compassion and empathy for the victims in Minnesota, and for the families torn apart or hiding in fear, for the children separated from their parents or afraid to go to school?”

Trump, of course, has done exactly the opposite. In fact, he has shown compassion both for Pretti and for 37-year-old Renee Good, who also lost her life earlier this month after attempting to obstruct an ICE operation.

Those facts, however, did not stop Clinton from attacking the president and his supporters, including prominent Christian voices.

First, she attacked pastor Ben Garrett for failing to endorse open borders and affirm LGBT lifestyles.

Then, she took Christian podcaster and author Allie Beth Stuckey to task for Stuckey’s concept of “toxic empathy.” Stuckey even wrote a 2024 book by that title: “Toxic Empathy: How Progressives Exploit Christian Compassion.”

Dems Have Gone Radio Silent On One of Their Main Talking Points, Trump Highlights It

President Donald Trump said Democrats have stopped focusing on affordability because, he argued, they have been “getting beaten badly” on the issue after years of high prices and inflation.

In remarks addressing the economy, Trump said affordability was once a central Democratic talking point but has since disappeared as prices have come down under his administration.

“You don’t hear the word affordability issued by the Democrats anymore,” Trump said.

“Now they’re going into other things because they’re getting beaten badly on affordability.”

Trump said when he returned to office, he inherited severe economic problems, including sharply higher consumer prices.

“Remember that when I was elected, I came into office, I inherited a total mess, starting with eggs, which were four times higher than they were just a year before,” Trump said.

Trump credited his administration with quickly reducing prices, pointing to egg costs as an example.

Gavin Newsom Gets Dragged for Pledging to Send Winter Storm Resources to Tennessee While Fire Victims in California Remain Homeless

California Governor Gavin Newsom recently bragged on Twitter/X that he is sending aid to the state of Tennessee following the harsh winter storm.

Meanwhile, thousands of victims of the California wildfires that happened over a year ago remain homeless.

This is Newsom playing pretend. In his mind, he is already the President of the United States and he wants everyone to get used to the idea.

FOX 5 in California reports:

Gov. Newsom deploys California-based emergency team to Tennessee for winter storm aid

Governor Gavin Newsom has deployed specialized emergency management resources from California to assist Tennessee as the state responds to impacts from a deadly winter storm.

According to the Governor’s Office, a 30-member California-based federal Complex Incident Management Team has been sent to support “response and life safety efforts” following an icy snowstorm that created hazardous travel conditions, widespread power outages and emergencies across the state. Multiple deaths have been reported in connection with the storm.

“I’m thankful to the local firefighters, who are stepping up to help fellow Americans during their time of need,” said Newsom. “When disaster strikes, California answers the call to support our partners across the country. Deploying this Incident Management Team to Tennessee reflects a commitment to protecting lives and helping our neighbors respond and recover to extreme weather events.”

The deployment comes as large portions of the eastern United States recently faced heavy snowfall, ice accumulations and subfreezing temperatures, disrupting critical infrastructure.
