The Truth Telling Of Alice Weidel: So Refreshing, She Calls Out Nefarious False Flag Attempts

Alice Weidel, the co-leader of Germany’s Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, claims that the German government has no interest in ending the war in Ukraine. She made the case in a recent interview.

Told that everyone would like the war to end, she replied: “Not our government, actually.” “While we impose one sanctions package after another, Donald Trump talks with Vladimir Putin about the delivery of further diesel, oil and gas. We would like to have the same thing for Germany because we need to lower our energy costs.”

She said that all of this defense money should be spent in Germany. “Military spending and defense spending, as the word says, should be invested in our own defense capabilities.” But instead, she argued, “Germany is now in the position of being the main financier of Ukraine, also giving away our ammunition and everything. The other European states are pulling back. Trump is out already. This policy is very harmful to Germany’s national security and also to the other European states.”

“This is our stance: It is not our war. It is very dangerous, and it is very costly, especially for us. Germany has spent over €100 billion on the war in Ukraine. This is quite dangerous and endangers Germany as a state because right now we could already be a target.”

On the reported Russia-attack on Leipzig Airport: “Well, to be honest, I’m not an eyewitness to that. What evidence do we have? With this so-called attempted drone attack, we haven’t seen any evidence in parliament.”

Ilhan Omar Breaks Silence After Feds Raid Her Home in Video Statement Begging for Money – Claims Trump is “Running Scared”

Somali Rep. Ilhan Omar on Wednesday broke her silence, begging for money in a social media video more than a week after her home was raided by the Department of Homeland Security in an ongoing criminal fraud investigation.

Omar’s Washington, DC home was raided early last Monday morning in a criminal fraud investigation that is looking at Omar’s immigration paperwork, which was filled out by her late father when she was a teen. Investigators were seen hauling boxes of evidence out of her home last week.

Omar previously released a statement, hours after the pre-dawn raid began, writing on X, “I’m ok.” She continued, “Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation.”

Since the raid, the years-long investigation, which began under Biden, has expanded further. It was also revealed that the warrants were approved by far-left federal magistrate Judge Matthew Sharbaugh, an Obama appointee who donated to Hillary Clinton’s failed 2016 White House bid, debunking any claim of weaponization against the Somali fraudster.

Now, Omar’s begging for more donations to “fight Trump and his administration,” claiming the investigation is meant to “intimidate me and so many people right before the midterm elections,” and that Trump is “running scared.”

She claims that she will be “out there campaigning alongside all of you and making sure that we beat back all of this and that we win in the midterms, win the House, win the Senate, and hold this administration accountable.”

That might be hard to do from prison or Nayib Bukele’s Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) in El Salvador.

Alberta Secession Referendum Fails

Alberta’s referendum to begin the process of seceding from Canada failed by a wide margin on Monday, keeping Canada’s oil wealth intact and delivering a major political win to Prime Minister Mark Carney.

Residents of Alberta voted against secession by a margin of 76 percent to 23 percent, with some vote counting still underway. If the motion had passed, a second vote would have been held before commencing the secession process.

“Albertans chose Canada. All Canadians will move forward together with renewed purpose and high ambition,” Carney said in a statement applauding the vote.

Thomas Lukaszuk, a former lawmaker who heads the anti-secession Forever Canadian organization, portrayed the vote as a rebuke to President Donald Trump, who has spoken of annexing Canada.

“Canada is not up for grabs,” Lukaszuk told a crowd of cheering supporters when the results of the vote were announced. “We are a solid country that’s united from coast to coast to coast and we stick up for each other.”

Trump made his latest humorous bid to take over Canada at a rally in Kansas on Monday.

“I promise them, if they become a 51st state … I said, ‘I will let you keep ice hockey, and I will let you keep your O Canada national anthem.’ They can have it as a state anthem,” he said.

Declassified Docs Show State Dept.’s Testimony During 2019 Trump Impeachment Was Radically Different from Reality

Newly declassified State Department documents appear to show that congressional Democrats’ top witness in their first impeachment trial in 2019 against President Donald Trump fibbed to Congress.

Trump was impeached for allegedly pressuring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy into announcing investigations into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, over their business relationship with the Ukrainian firm Burisma.

The problem was that when former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch testified on Oct. 11, 2019, about Burisma, she acted as if the firm’s documented illicit activities were, and had always been, no “big issue.”

According to Just The News, which has reviewed the newly declassified documents, she downplayed the importance of all of it.

“Once you arrived in country did the embassy staff brief you on issues relating to Burisma?” a congressional investigator asked her during the hearing — one of several that occurred before Trump was formally impeached by the U.S. House.

“No, it was — it was not,” she replied. “I don’t recall that I was briefed on that. All I can tell you is it was a long time ago, and it just wasn’t a big issue.”

“Big Tent” Backfires: Dem Rep Claims DSA Sent Her White Powder And Warned Of Impending “Civil War”

U.S. Rep. Hillary Scholten (D-Grand Rapids) is getting a taste of what happens when her “big tent” party fails to curb far-left extremism within its own ranks and is consumed by Marxist revolutionaries from the Democratic Socialists of America.

Here’s what Scholten claims:

Today, I received a threatening letter at my Grand Rapids, Michigan office that contained unidentified white powder. The letter, which claimed to be from the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), made a direct and specific reference to an impending “civil war” beginning after the election.

The letter sent to my office is similar to those received at other congressional offices across the country. The DSA has not yet addressed the attacks, either to condemn them or to take or deny responsibility. The Grand Rapids Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) responded immediately.

Threats and extremism are not signs of strength—they are signs of a weak mind and weak character. Political intimidation has no place in our democracy, and leaders must condemn it, not excuse it. I’ll keep standing up to bullies on the right and the left.

“I Don’t Give a F*ck Who You Are!” El-Sayed Staffer Tries to Assault James O’Keefe and Has to be Restrained in Wild Confrontation

James O’Keefe was almost physically assaulted when he confronted the Abdul El-Sayed campaign staffer who revealed El-Sayed is taking illegal foreign donations.

The O’Keefe Media Group on Monday released an undercover video of a campaign official for Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed admitting that El-Sayed knowingly receives illegal donations from overseas.

Foreign nationals are prohibited from making campaign contributions.

“You know, he [Abdul El Sayed] has people from overseas that donate to him,” Abdul Beckwith, Regional Field Organizer for Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign, said.

When asked whether overseas donations were prohibited, Beckwith responded, “No, it is not allowed,” before describing a hypothetical arrangement in which overseas money passes through a family member.

Beckwith said, “And then people overseas give money to him. And then he gives money to you. It’s that type of thing.”

He then added, “Everybody does it!”

The Billionaire Couple Quietly Spending Millions To “Reinvent” The Democrat Party

A billionaire hedge fund couple is dumping millions into a high-stakes effort to push the Democratic Party away from its increasingly radical left flank and challenge its entrenched leadership.

Steve and Sue Mandel, wealthy Democrat donors from Greenwich, Connecticut, have committed at least $20 million to a network of political groups aimed at elevating more moderate candidates, according to a new report from The Wall Street Journal.

Their operation includes at least three organizations designed to confront the party’s existing power structure and potentially reshape Democratic politics ahead of the 2028 presidential election. At the center is Majority Democrats, which is working to boost candidates who can appeal beyond the party’s progressive base.

Another group, The Bench, focuses on identifying and backing rising political talent, while the Searchlight Institute is crafting more centrist policy ideas in hopes of making Democrats competitive again nationally.

The couple is taking an unusually hands-on role, closely tracking campaigns and working with Seth London, a seasoned Democrat consulanted who served a stint in the Obama White House as Legislative Assistant and Associate Director. The billionaire couple’s effort has already drawn additional funding from political and media power players, including former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and James Murdoch, according to the Journal.

The effort underscores growing frustration among some deep-pocketed Democratic donors who argue the party has lost touch with ordinary voters and desperately needs an overhaul. Rather than demanding ideological purity, the Mandel-backed groups are prioritizing candidates with strong personal stories and proven ability to win elections.

However, as the Journal points out, the Mandels’ political investments have not always paid off:

During this year’s Senate race in Michigan, it threw its support behind Mallory McMorrow, a telegenic state senator and self-described “pragmatist” who had been a client of Smith’s.

McMorrow dropped out less than a month before the primary, and Abdul El-Sayed, from the party’s left, won. Democrats who didn’t support El-Sayed traded blame. Proponents of The Bench criticized Washington groups for helping the other moderate candidate, Haley Stevens.

A former Stevens adviser had the opposite takeaway: The Bench had made the race more costly and complicated.

Addtionally, critics on the far left were quick to dismiss the effort.

“The Mandels’ approach represents the same Democratic establishment with some new seasoning on top,” said Usamah Andrabi, spokesman for the far-left Justice Democrats, told the Journal. “That’s simply not what the party’s voters are looking for right now.”

Abdul El-Sayed Trashed Flint, Michigan, Residents in 2016 Clip

Michigan Democrat U.S. Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed questioned why anyone would want to live in Flint, Michigan, during a 2016 appearance before a largely white Boston University audience, according to a report.

El-Sayed, the former Detroit health director, offered his views on the majority-black city while answering a question about relocating residents after Flint’s 2014 lead-contaminated water crisis, the outlet reported. Conservative journalist Chuck Ross first surfaced the remarks on Washington Free Beacon.

Speaking at the health policy symposium, El-Sayed recounted how Flint residents describe their attachment to the city.

“You talk to folks in Flint, they love Flint, right, and you’re like, ‘What the—why?’” El-Sayed said.

The progressive candidate said residents stay because the city is home, drawing a comparison to his own decision to move to Detroit. He recalled that colleagues questioned the choice after he left Columbia University in New York.

“To Detroit of all places,” he said people told him. “If you’re going to Cali, I get it, but Detroit? Their winters are worse than ours. There’s nothing there.”

Georgia Democratic Governor Nominee Keisha Lance Bottoms Called Anti-Riot Laws ‘Silly’ and ‘Asinine’

Democrat Georgia gubernatorial candidate and former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms called anti-riot laws “silly” and “asinine” in 2022.

Bottoms — who oversaw a massive murder and crime spike during her time as Atlanta mayor, at the height of nationwide social justice protests —  criticized anti-riot laws during an interview with The Atlantic shortly after she ended her time in office. Bottoms announced in the summer of 2021 that she had decided not to run for reelection.

When asked, “What do you make of these proposals to stiffen penalties for public protest that become unruly or violent?” Bottoms called the laws “really silly.”

“And it really takes away from the real conversation and the need to have some real dialogue, some meaningful dialogue, on why people are in our streets protesting. Let’s have a conversation about the open carry law in Georgia and how protesters can walk with AK-47s down the street, and there’s no penalty for that. That scares me more than 100 college students protesting peacefully in the street,” Bottoms replied.

“I think when we peel back and we look at why were people in the streets in the summer of 2020, it was because we were witnessing something that we had never witnessed as a country as whole in my lifetime, and it was a need for a conversation and for real reform,” she continued.

“I hope that when you see policies and laws like that introduced wherever you are, it is this reminder of why elections matter. It’s not enough that we show up and we vote for the president,” she said. “We gotta show up each and every time when that state senator, when that local representative is on the ballot. Because if not, we have people speaking for us and setting laws for us that are completely asinine and not at all in touch with where we are and where we need to be as a country.”

NY Mayor Mamdani Demands Parking Lot Owners Ban ICE Agents

New York City’s socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani is trying to block ICE operations in New York by denying overnight parking slots for federal agents’ vehicles.

Mamdani, the leader of the state’s communist and environmental coalition, along with 100 Democrat officials across the sanctuary state, joined together in a letter asking parking lot and parking garage owners to tell Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal officers that they are not welcome, according to the Gothamist.

“Make it known to ICE that it is not authorized to use your garages and lots,” the radical mayor says in his letter.

The letter comes on the tail of the slight wounding of criminal illegal migrant Oscar Belgal, a Dominican national who tried to use his vehicle to run down and injure or kill ICE agents who were trying to arrest him.

Mamdani’s letter cites the shooting of the gangbanger in the request to parking lot owners to ban federal agents from the properties.

The letter is also signed by New York’s Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, as well as the U.S. House of Representatives Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries; and dozens of state and local Democrat officials. New York City Council Speaker Julie Menin and most of the City Council also signed onto the letter.

A DHS spokesperson said that federal immigration operations would continue despite the mayor’s efforts to ban them from parking lots and garages.

“Mayor Mamdani should be grateful to our brave law enforcement officers for cleaning up the streets of NYC since he won’t,” the DHS spokesperson said, according to The Hill. “Luckily, no terminated parking will stop ICE from deporting criminal illegal aliens to make New York safe again.”

This missive in New York is not the first time a Democrat has demanded parking lot owners ban ICE agents.

In August, Democrats in Boston moved to ban ICE from renting or purchasing space to park their vehicles, even though there is no ICE facility in the city.
