Canadian MS NOW Host Says He Feels “Deep Unease” About Celebrating America’s 250th Anniversary Because of Racism, Says America “Never Fully Reckoned With Slavery”

MS NOW’s Ali Velshi, during a recent segment, gave an insane take on America’s upcoming 250th anniversary, insinuating that Americans should have “conflicting feelings” about celebrating the Fourth of July this year because of slavery. 

Velshi, a Kenyan-born Canadian citizen who just got his US citizenship in 2015, felt the need to lecture Americans about “racial dynamics” and attack our history.

“Anniversaries are imperfect records of the thing which is being celebrated,” the America-hating foreigner.

“In America’s case, anniversaries often gloss over the racial dynamics underlying much of America’s history and politics, issues that remain unsolved because America has never actually fully reckoned with its racist past and its original founding sin of slavery.”

Velshi went on to tell viewers of the failing news network that he feels “deep unease” celebrating “our so-called democracy,” because of… “unresolved racial politics.”

“omen and black Americans have seen their rights taken away. The Voting Rights Act has effectively been gutted. A number of states are continuing to gerrymander their congressional maps ahead of the midterm elections, with the explicit effect of taking away political power on black Americans,” he continued.

“If you’ve got conflicting feelings about America’s upcoming anniversary, like you want to celebrate the ideals that America strives for, which are noble and should be celebrated, but lament the state of the country, you’re not alone. At least I’m with you on this.”

Graham Platner slams articles over his alleged ‘sexting’ as ‘journalistic malpractice’

Democrat candidate for United States Senator from Maine Graham Platner accused media outlets that had reported on his alleged “sexting” scandal as “journalistic malpractice.”

Speaking to reporters on Sunday, he specifically called out the The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) and The New York Times (NYT), which had reported on the scandal on Saturday.

“The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times ran stories without any evidence besides the gossip from a former staffer…I’m sorry, that’s frankly journalistic malpractice,” Platner stated.

According to reporting by both outlets, Platner’s wife had told the campaign about messages she had discovered of her husband “sexting” with multiple women, despite the couple having been married since 2023.

Current and former officials working on Platner’s campaign had confirmed the exchanges, according to the NYT. One current official reportedly said the conduct had stopped before the launch of his Senate campaign.

A former campaign senior aide, Genevieve McDonald, claimed that Gertner had reached out in 2025 about her husband’s alleged behavior, the NYT reported.

Per media reports, Gertner talking about feeling betrayed by an unnamed campaign staffer in a statement provided by the Platner campaign.

“I trusted this person with the most private chapter of our lives — the early days of our marriage before any campaign was on our mind — and I am deeply hurt by her betrayal and the invasion of our privacy,” Gertner said.

In a Saturday video statement posted to Platner’s social media campaign account, Gertner said she found the willingness to spread gossip “shameful.”

“It makes me really angry, disappointed. And I find it really shameful that there’s a group of media outlets and people who are willing to spread gossip instead of talking about real issues that Graham is running on,” she said.

Jill Biden Laughs About Covering for Joe Biden’s Cognitive Decline 

Dr. Jill laughed about covering for Joe Biden’s cognitive decline during her latest interview amid her tour for her book, “View from the East Wing.”

Jill Biden continued to make the media rounds on Monday and sat down with Craig Melvin on the TODAY show to discuss life after the White House and Joe Biden’s cognitive decline.

Dr. Jill shocked the public when she recently claimed that she thought Joe Biden had a stroke during the 2024 presidential debate.

TODAY show host Craig Melvin asked Jill Biden about the moments after Biden finished the debate.

“I wanna say the things that are true, and so I said ‘you answered every question,’” Jill Biden explained.

“That’s a pretty low bar,” Craig Melvin said.

“Well…haha,” Jill Biden said, laughing.

“My mind is racing. What do I say to him? What do I say to him?” Jill Biden said about her husband’s disastrous debate. “I’m his wife. I’ve got to lift him up.

“I’m not going to get out there on the stage and say, ‘Joe, you really screwed that up,’” Jill Biden said.

She continued, “And we have all our supporters there. That’s who we are. I had to support him. I couldn’t come out and really publicly say, ‘Joe, you did a terrible job in that debate.’”

Far-Left Media Claims Trump Unloaded on Netanyahu During Heated Call Over Lebanon Conflict

President Donald Trump is once again demonstrating that he is the only world leader capable of preventing a wider Middle East war while simultaneously protecting America’s interests and maintaining peace through strength.

On Monday, President Trump announced that he personally intervened to stop a major Israeli operation targeting Beirut, Lebanon, stating that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to reverse course after a direct conversation between the two leaders.

Trump announced on Truth Social:

“I had a conversation with Bibi Netanyahu today, asking him not to go into a major raid of Beirut, Lebanon. He turned his Troops around. Thank you Bibi! I also had a conversation with Representatives of the Leaders of Hezbollah, and they agreed to stop shooting at Israel, and its soldiers. Likewise, Israel agreed to stop shooting at them. Let’s see how long that lasts — Hopefully it will be for ETERNITY!”

The president’s remarks came amid rapidly escalating tensions along Israel’s northern border after renewed fighting between Israel and Hezbollah threatened to derail ongoing diplomatic efforts in the region. Reuters, CBS News, and other outlets reported that Trump publicly claimed Israel had turned back troops heading toward Beirut following his conversation with Netanyahu.

But while Trump publicly celebrated a temporary de-escalation, Netanyahu made clear that Israel’s military posture has not fundamentally changed.

In a statement posted on X, Netanyahu said:

“Tonight, I spoke with President Trump and told him that if Hezbollah does not cease attacking our cities and citizens—Israel will attack terror targets in Beirut. This stance of ours remains unchanged. In parallel, the IDF will continue to operate as planned in southern Lebanon.”

BAD NEWS FOR PLATNER: Even the Ladies of ‘The View’ Are Turning on Him, Call Him a Racist, Liar, and Homophobe

Graham Platner, the Democratic Socialist (communist) running for U.S. Senate in Maine, has some serious problems. In addition to the Nazi tattoo, the vile Reddit comments, and now a sexting scandal, the ladies of The View are turning on him.

How bad of a Democrat candidate do you have to be to lose the support of the hosts of The View? These people will defend a Democrat for anything, but even they are backing away now.

Did a memo go out on the left that it’s time to dump this guy? How else can this be explained?

This is what Alyssa Farah Griffin said, via Mediaite:

To be honest, his sexting is the least of my concern. Graham Platner trashed a Purple Heart recipient — said he didn’t deserve to live — defamed fallen Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, downplayed how hard it is to report sexual assault in the military, repeatedly used anti-gay slurs and homophobic posts as recently as 2021, called himself an avowed communist, and has a Nazi tattoo for 20 years he has since covered up. This guy seems like a guy of not very good character. And there are a lot of options in this country and other paths for Democrats to win. Just win a different state. You need four seats. Look at Alaska, Iowa, look at Texas. Don’t die on the hill of a guy who is going to be a headache for years to come.

Then Sunny Hostin chimed in:

“Yeah, you know, I am conflicted,” Hostin said. “They asked Cory Booker how he felt about this because, I think all the allegations are true. The sexting with other women while married is definitely true because his wife…disclosed it. Why would she lie about that? So, that part is true.”

Hostin continued, “He’s also made racist remarks against African Americans. So he’s a cheater, he’s an antisemite — because the fact that he had that tattoo for 20 years and ‘didn’t know what it was’ is a lie. So he’s a liar, a racist, an antisemite…he’s a homophobe. So, he’s all the things, and character does matter.”

Dirty Trick Alert: The REAL Reason Why the (Latest) Graham Platner Scandal Broke Now — and Not in October

Exactly one month before Election Day 2025, National Review broke a major scandal about Jay Jones, Virginia’s Democratic nominee for attorney general: Jones, it seems, had fantasized about murdering his political enemies — along with their young children.

Jones’ blood-soaked fantasies weren’t anonymously posted on Reddit. There were no pseudonyms; no GOP detective work was necessary. Remarkably, Jones sent his texts directly to a Republican legislator named Carrie Coyner.

From National Review:

On August 8, 2022, a Republican state legislator received a disturbing string of early-morning text messages from a former colleague, Jay Jones, this year’s Democratic nominee for Virginia attorney general.

[…]

“If those guys die before me,” Jones wrote, referencing the Republican colleagues who were publicly honoring the deceased Johnson’s memory, “I will go to their funerals to piss on their graves” to “send them out awash in something.”

Jones then suggested that, presented with a hypothetical situation in which he had only two bullets and was faced with the choice of murdering then-Speaker of the House Todd Gilbert or two dictators, he’d shoot Gilbert “every time,” prompting pushback from his former colleague:

Jones: Three people, two bullets

Gilbert, hitler, and pol pot

Gilbert gets two bullets to the head

Spoiler: put Gilbert in the crew with the two worst people you know and he receives both bullets every time

Coyner: Jay

Please stop

Jones: Lol

Ok, ok

Coyner: It really bothers me when you talk about hurting people or wishing death on them

It isn’t ok

No matter who they are

This meant that Coyner had been sitting on this scandal since August of 2022. She could’ve released Jones’ damning text messages whenever she wanted!

Yet she patiently waited until exactly one month before the 2025 election.

Busted! Leftist Media Wants You to Think Talarico Is Polling Ahead of Paxton in Texas

There are two kinds of political polls. The first is curated propaganda for your consumption. Its goal is not to reflect public opinion but to shape it. It’s designed to shape your opinion, and in a sense manipulate you in the most cynical of ways. The second is the internal poll, where the campaign pays for it and keeps the results out of the public eye. This is the information and data the campaign uses to plan for, initiate, and respond to the day-to-day events of the campaign.

Since all campaigns conduct their own internal polling, you have to know that if their behavior and messaging seem slightly out of step with the general tone of news coverage, this is the reason. They know something the media does not, and you do not.

The Senate race in Texas has just served up a great example of how the left and their partners in the legacy media like to use polls to manipulate public opinion.

According to a poll from an organization called Texas Public Opinion Research (TPOR), Texas state Rep. James Talarico (D), who definitely eats meat and definitely likes females, has a three-point lead over Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R). TPOR reports that Talarico is favored 47% to Paxton’s 44% among likely general election voters.

The totally unbiased people at The Hill reported that the poll sampled voters in the wake of Paxton’s defeat of Sen. John Cornyn (R) in the Texas primary election.

Nearly a third of the respondents who voted for Cornyn in the runoff indicated in the poll that they will support the Democratic nominee in the November election. A plurality — 44 percent — of these voters said they will now choose Paxton, and 23 percent were undecided, The Hill Reported.

The pollsters and The Hill, apparently, would have you believe that roughly 33% of Cornyn voters switched over to Talarico. Before taking this seriously, take a step back and ask yourself if this makes any sense. Chances are, if it doesn’t make sense to you, then it doesn’t make sense.

Texas is a solidly red state. Cornyn, while seen as a RINO and a squish by many conservatives, is still largely regarded as very, very far to the right of Talarico. On his campaign website, Cornyn bragged that he had a “more than 99.2% voting record with President Trump.”

Do the people who voted for that sound like the kind of people who would now vote for a man-child who is working very hard to try to convince voters that he eats meat and is a heterosexual male? He even has a girlfriend, according to the latest reports.

The New York Post reported that she is “Brianna Menard, 30, (who) describes herself as a ‘committed vegan,’ yoga buff and cat mom who likes ‘dancing the night away’ at local gay bar Cheer Up Charlies in Austin.”

Brutal Media Split Screen Emerges as New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill Begs Anti-ICE Rioters to “Bring the Temperature Down” and Demands Closure of ICE Facility 

Fox News has gone viral after utilizing a devastating split screen regarding New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherill and the ongoing riots in Newark, which will remind some of the images from the George Floyd riots back in the Summer of 2020.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, the protests outside the ICE detention facility in Newark have spiraled into chaos.

Demonstrators have confronted law enforcement, federal officers have been targeted, journalists have faced hostility, and authorities have been forced to respond as crowds escalated near the facility.

The Gateway Pundit also revealed that independent journalist Nick Sortor, who blew the lid off years of taxpayers’ abuse at the hands of Somali fraudsters, infiltrated an Antifa camp at the Newark, New Jersey, ICE protests.

As he moved through the camp, he found tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of equipment, food, and even riot gear. Hot meals are delivered every hour. Clearly, there is a massive, shadowy infrastructure behind the movement that is providing funding.

When one combines this with the open encouragement of Democrat politicians to bully ICE agents, it’s no wonder that Antifa is so emboldened.

During a Saturday press conference, Sherill begged the Antifa protesters to “bring the temperature down” and to protest “peacefully.”

Then, she vowed to work toward “better conditions at Delaney Hall” until it was closed for good.

But while Sherill was ranting, a Fox News producer put up a devastating split screen showing exactly what the New Jersey Governor was presiding over.

In the split screen, one can see agitators getting violent with law enforcement officers and throwing projectiles.

Smoke bombs are also deployed.

Dr. Jill Repeatedly Claims She Never Saw Signs that Joe Biden Was Falling Into Cognitive Decline – And CBS Mornings Host Isn’t Even Buying It

Dr. Jill insisted that she had never seen anything to indicate that Joe Biden was in cognitive decline during an interview with CBS Mornings host Rita Braver.

Jill Biden sat down for an interview with CBS Mornings to discuss life after the White House.

“Did you ever see signs that [Biden] was falling into cognitive decline?” Rita Braver asked Jill Biden.

“No,” Jill Biden said.

Rita Braver was not buying Jill Biden’s claim.

“No?” Rita Braver asked.

“No,” Jill Biden insisted.

“Truly?” Rita Braver asked.

“No,” Jill Biden said.

“Oh, he was definitely aging; I mean, we were all aging,” Jill added. “So, yes, he was slowing down.”

“People were saying he wasn’t the same Joe Biden,” Rita Braver said.

“Well, I don’t think that’s true,” Jill said.

She continued, “He was the same, the essence of the same Joe Biden, but yeah, he was slowing down. He was getting older.”

“It’s a very intense job. I think it ages you quickly. Look at the other presidents, I mean, in comparison, when they started in office and got out of office. It was natural aging,” Jill Biden insisted.

MSNOW Anchor Gets KICKED OUT of Violent Newark Anti-ICE Protest by Police — Then Complains on Live TV 

An MSNOW anchor was forced away from the scene of a chaotic anti-ICE protest outside Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey, after police moved in to restore order—and then spent the live segment complaining that law enforcement was preventing him from covering the story.

The protest outside the ICE detention facility had already spiraled into a tense confrontation between demonstrators and police. 

Officers in tactical gear, shields, and batons moved into the area as the scene grew increasingly unstable. Flashbangs were reportedly heard, arrests were made, and police were forced to establish a larger perimeter around the facility.

Yet MSNOW still tried to frame the situation as if law enforcement was the problem.

During the live report, the anchor described a large police presence outside Delaney Hall and repeatedly noted that officers were pushing him and his crew farther away from the protest. Police told him to step back as officers moved in to secure the area.

Instead of simply complying, the anchor repeatedly questioned officers about how far he had to move, whether he could stay where he was, and why he was being removed from the scene.

“We are press, though,” the anchor told police during the broadcast.

The officer’s answer was simple: everybody had to move back.

That should have been the end of the discussion. When police are trying to control a protest that has already become volatile, the press does not get to decide where the security line should be. Law enforcement does.

But the MSNOW anchor continued complaining on air, saying the order to move back would hurt his ability to cover what was happening. 

He later said multiple officers were escorting him and his crew away from the scene, as if police were doing something suspicious by making sure the media followed the same safety instructions as everyone else.

The irony was obvious. The same media outlet that regularly lectures Americans about “respecting institutions” suddenly had a problem when police officers gave basic crowd-control instructions during an anti-ICE protest.

The anchor also claimed he was trying to “bear witness” to what was happening at Delaney Hall. But the situation outside the facility was not a press freedom seminar. It was a protest that had gotten out of hand. 

When police deploy a large number of officers, move barricades, and push people away from a scene, that usually means the area is no longer safe.
