Crockett’s Senate Run Was Engineered By Republicans

Rep. Jasmine Crockett. (D-Texas) officially launched her campaign for the U.S. Senate on Monday, and Republicans appear to have played a major role in that happening. 

According to a report from NOTUS, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) was “actively worked behind the scenes to encourage Rep. Jasmine Crockett to jump into the Senate Democratic primary in Texas, believing she will be the easiest opponent to beat.”

With Sen. John Cornyn facing a tough three-way primary and Democrats fielding two strong candidates, Republican strategists reportedly were concerned the race would be tougher than expected. They feared a draining fight could leave the nominee wounded before the real battle against the Democrats even began.

Back in July, the NRSC commissioned a private poll that “by design” included Crockett’s name among the Democratic contenders. Her numbers surprised everyone: she topped the field. Instead of treating it as an internal curiosity, GOP operatives moved fast. 

“When we saw the results, we were like, ‘OK, we got to disseminate this far and wide,’” a source told NOTUS.

In June news broke that Texas Democrats Colin Allred, James Talarico, former Rep. Beto O’Rourke and Rep. Joaquin Castro met to discuss the 2026 election.

Operatives at the NRSC realized that Crockett — whose political stock had been rising — wasn’t included in that meeting and also hadn’t been included in any credible poll. So they decided to change that.

Following the NRSC’s polls, other surveys began to include Crockett and showed similar results: She was surging in the primary.

The NRSC then worked to amplify those polls and is taking credit for helping “orchestrate the pile on of these polling numbers to really drive that news cycle and that narrative that Jasmine Crockett was surging in Texas,” the source said.

And Crockett took the bait.

House Democrat Files Impeachment Articles Against Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for Turning ‘His Back on Science’

Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI), who is running for Senate, filed articles of impeachment on Wednesday against Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., saying he has turned “his back on science.”

“Today, I formally introduced articles of impeachment against Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. RFK Jr. has turned his back on science and the safety of the American people. Michiganders cannot take another day of his chaos,” the Michigan Democrat wrote in a statement.

Andrew Nixon, a spokesman for HHS, dismissed the articles of impeachment as a political ploy.

“Secretary Kennedy remains focused on the work of improving Americans’ health and lowering costs, not on partisan political stunts,” Nixon said.

Stevens is the second Democrat to recently move to impeach a Trump cabinet official; Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) just filed articles of impeachment against Department of War Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Thanedar has cited the Trump administration’s strikes against vessels that were allegedly taking part in drug trafficking.

“Pete Hegseth has been using the United States military to extrajudicially assassinate people without evidence of any crime,” said Thanedar.

He added, “Former military attorneys have come out and asserted that his conduct constitutes war crimes. We cannot allow his reprehensible conduct to continue, which is why I have filed these articles to impeach him.”

Socialist Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani Appoints a Convicted Armed Robber to Lead His Criminal Justice Team in New York City

New York City’s incoming socialist mayor is already proving exactly why voters should be worried.

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has tapped a convicted armed robber to help shape the city’s public-safety and criminal-justice agenda, according to new reporting from Fox News.

Mamdani appointed Mysonne Linen, a 49-year-old rapper, activist, and former Def Jam signee who spent seven years in prison for two violent taxi-driver robberies, to serve on his City Hall transition team.

According to court records and reporting from Fox News, citing the New York Daily News, Linen was convicted in 1999 for two separate armed robberies of taxi drivers:

• In June 1997, Linen and accomplices robbed cab driver Joseph Exiri, smashing him in the head with a beer bottle during the attack.
• In March 1998, prosecutors said Linen held up another cabbie, Francisco Monsanto, at gunpoint, stealing cash and a ring before fleeing into the night.

Both victims took the stand and identified Linen as one of their assailants.

Linen faced up to 25 years for the violent crimes and ultimately served seven years. At the time, his defense argued he had no motive because he was writing songs for Lil’ Kim and Mase

The announcement wasn’t made in a City Hall press release, but instead through an Instagram post from the radical social-justice organization Until Freedom, where Linen serves as a leader.

“We are proud that Until Freedom leaders have been chosen to serve on Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani’s transition team on committees for public safety and criminal justice respectively.

This is a testament to our decades of work advocating on behalf of Black and Brown communities and our expertise in gun violence prevention, legislative advocacy and criminal justice reform.

We are building something different.”

Grab Your Popcorn: Jasmine Crockett Is About to Crash and Burn

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) is expected to shake up the Senate race with a Monday announcement that she plans to run for the seat that Republican John Cornyn holds. If she officially files, Crockett will face off in the March 3 Democratic primary against state Rep. James Talarico. Meanwhile, Colin Allred, who ran against Sen. Ted Cruz two years ago and had hinted at another Senate run, is exiting the race to return to the House.

Whoever emerges from the Democratic primary, and polls suggest Crockett is likely to do so, will face the winner of the GOP primary between incumbent Cornyn, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, and Rep. Wesley Hunt.

“Voters are looking for someone who’s unapologetic in defending our values and who is plain spoken and knows how to speak the language of the everyday person,” said Kardal Coleman, chairman of the Dallas County Democratic Party, according to the Dallas Morning News. “All of them are going to be skilled campaigners and skilled communicators, but the person who can really exemplify what it means to be a Texas Democrat is going to have the most success.”

The Stages Of A Color Revolution… And Where America Is Right Now

A “color revolution” (sometimes called a “soft coup” or “regime-change operation by non-kinetic means”) is a modern form of orchestrated political upheaval designed to replace an existing government without traditional military invasion or civil war. The term arose from events in the early 2000s, such as Serbia’s Bulldozer Revolution (2000) and Georgia’s Rose Revolution (2003). 

These operations follow a remarkably consistent playbook, refined over two decades by Western NGOs, intelligence-linked foundations, and State Department-affiliated entities (Open Society Foundations, USAID, etc.).

Authors describe seven stages of a color revolution.

The stages include these tactics, which I’ll list in approximate chronological order:

  • Portray the target government as illegitimate, authoritarian, corrupt, or “fascist.”  
  • Front-load allegations: accuse incumbent of planning the crimes the opposition intends to commit (rigging, regression, dictatorship).
  • Fund and train NGOs, student groups, and opposition politicians to repeat a unified message.
  • Create/amplify a unifying symbol or theme (e.g., Orange Man Bad).
  • Manufacture an electoral crisis.
  • Street mobilization.
  • Public appeals to and moral blackmail of the military and police: “You’re with the people, not the regime.”
  • Promises of immunity, future positions for defectors.
  • Threats to those who support target government.
  • Provoke a response, flood media with images of “peaceful protesters” being attacked.
  • International legitimation as foreign governments and media recognizes opposition leaders as “legitimate” authority.
  • Sanctions, frozen assets, diplomatic isolation applied to sitting government.
  • New elections scheduled under international supervision.

We’re approaching the final four stages of this process with the Seditious Six’s “advice” to the military about alleged “illegal orders”, and threats to those who obey the POTUS. These warnings have eroded military cohesion, priming them for institutional resistance against Trump’s policies on immigration enforcement and domestic security.

General Michael Flynn described these actions as part of a coordinated effort to destabilize the nation’s power structure. These actions build on a pattern of Democrat actions that align with color revolution phases. Beginning with the 2016 election, the “Russiagate” narrative served to portray his presidency as illegitimate to erode public trust. Funded investigations, leaks from intelligence communities, and media amplification created an “illegitimacy loop,” where any Trump action was framed as evidence of tyranny.

The accusations of an illegitimate presidency rang out early in Trump’s first term. The cries came from Hillary Clinton on down to elected officials, celebrities, and the rank and file. The two impeachments manufactured crises, positioning Democrats as defenders of democracy (stop laughing!) against a purportedly rogue executive. Street mobilization echoed in the 2020 BLM protests which were leveraged to sustain urban unrest and pressure institutions. These events forced standoffs with law enforcement. More recently, accusations against Trump’s nominees, like Pete Hegseth facing war crime smears, fit the tactic of rapid, scripted attacks to paralyze the administration.

NYC’s Radical Socialist Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani Posts Video Coaching Illegals on How to Evade ICE – Urges People to ‘Stand Up’ to Feds

New York City’s incoming mayor, democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani, released a video on X Sunday morning offering step-by-step advice to illegal immigrants on thwarting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

Standing in front of a flip chart labeled “Know your rights,” Mamdani positioned himself as the defender of NYC’s “more than 3 million immigrants,” vowing to protect them from federal raids amid President Trump’s aggressive deportation agenda.

The video comes on the heels of a disrupted ICE raid in Chinatown last weekend, where nearly 200 protesters blocked agents from leaving a parking garage.

“Last weekend, ICE attempted to raid Canal Street and detain our immigrant neighbors,” Mamdani said in the video posted to X on Sunday. “As mayor, I’ll protect the rights of every single New Yorker. And that includes the more than 3 million immigrants who call this city their home.”

Mamdani continued, “But we can all stand up to ICE if you know your rights.”

“ICE cannot enter into private spaces like your home, school, or private area of your workplace without a judicial warrant signed by a judge,” Mamdani said.

“You have the right to say, ‘I do not consent to entry,’ and the right to keep your door closed,” he continued.

Mamdani showed an example of ICE paperwork that may be mistaken for a warrant.

“ICE is legally allowed to lie to you. But you have the right to remain silent. If you are being detained, you may always ask, ‘Am I free to go?’ repeatedly until they answer you,” Mamdani continued.

“You are legally allowed to film ICE, as long as you do not interfere with an arrest,” he stated.

Mamdani also not-so-subtly urged people to protest.

“New Yorkers have a constitutional right to protest, and when I’m mayor, we will protect that right,” Mamdani said.

Germany’s Globalist Regime Bans AfD From Mayoral Elections in Rhineland-Palatinate 

Germany’s increasingly unpopular and authoritarian globalist regime has banned members of the conservative-nationalist party Alternative for Germany (AfD)—the most popular in the country—from running for local mayor in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

The regime’s weapon of choice is a state blacklist, crafted by Germany’s highly politicized domestic intelligence service—an agency that persecutes patriotic citizens while branding the country’s true opposition as extremists.

A 2025 order from the state’s Interior Ministry, designed as a de-facto ban on the party, now forces candidates to vow no ties to listed organizations over the past five years, the Austrian news outlet Exxpress reported.

AfD members simply cannot sign without legally perjuring themselves. German-American Roberto Kiefer hoped to contest the mayoral seat in Nieder-Olm next March. The new rules render his bid impossible solely because of his party loyalty.

Kiefer rightly denounces it as a sneaky exclusion of a fully legal political movement and a party that’s the most popular in the country. He will file his candidacy regardless, bracing for the inevitable bureaucratic rejection.

This authoritarian tactic, employed by a government that’s quickly losing its democratic mandate, is nothing new—in Ludwigshafen, AfD’s Joachim Paul was booted from the race on flimsy loyalty grounds. Establishment courts, controlled by regime loyalists, rubber-stamped the decision, citing trumped up domestic intel rulings.

Voter turnout in Ludwigshafen plunged to embarrassing lows once Paul was removed. Disgusted citizens boycotted an election stripped of real alternatives.

Germany’s regime claims these bans safeguard democracy from supposed dangers. In reality, unelected officials are trampling the sovereign will of the people.

AfD leaders insist that only voters, not faceless ministries staffed with regime loyalists, should choose their representatives. The party remains completely lawful and is surging in polls nationwide.

The crackdown traces back to a July decree that already purges AfD supporters from all public-sector jobs. Small-town mayoral posts are conveniently classified as civil service to widen the net.

Legal scholars warn that letting bureaucrats revoke voting rights through vague lists threatens free elections. Such overreach exposes the regime’s fear of genuine competition.

Violent left-wing radicals are propped up in Germany and share space on the same voting list, while the AfD is singled out because it’s the only real alternative to the regime. It deliberately targets the country’s largest  party after its electoral breakthroughs.

With sustained, uncontrolled mass migration overwhelming towns and cities, emptying the country’s state welfare coffers and causing upticks in violent crime, AfD’s firm border policies have clearly struck a chord with fed-up Germans. Silencing their candidates muzzles the growing demand for national sovereignty.

The Nieder-Olm scandal reveals how the Brussels-aligned elite in Germany are desperately clinging to power. Real democrats demand AfD be allowed to contest elections without interference.

Germany desperately needs leaders who put German citizens and Western Civilization first, not ones who bend the knee to the EU’s anti-European dictates. These repressive measures only deepen public contempt for an increasingly authoritarian system.

January 6 Pipe Bomb Suspect Brian Cole is NOT a Trump Supporter – Family Says He is an “Autistic Recluse” Who Lived in a Basement

January 6 pipe bomb suspect Brian Cole is not a Trump supporter like the legacy media has claimed.

Fox News, CNBC, and MS NOW are reporting that J6 pipe bomb suspect Brian Cole “expressed doubts about the 2020 election outcome.”

MS NOW reported that Brian Cole is a Trump supporter.

Cole’s family said he is an “autistic recluse” and “computer nerd” who lived in the basement of his parents’ Woodbridge, Virginia, home.

Brian Cole’s grandmother told The Daily Mail that her grandson has no party affiliation and that he is not a Trump supporter.

The Daily Mail reported:

The 30-year-old Virginia man accused of planting pipe bombs near Capitol Hill on the eve of the January 6, 2021 riots is an autistic recluse and ‘computer nerd’ who has no party affiliation, his grandmother told the Daily Mail on Friday.

Brian Cole confessed and told his FBI interrogators that he is a Trump supporter and holds anarchist views, MSNOW reported citing unnamed sources.

But Loretta, his grandmother, said Cole has no party affiliation and never votes.

Rather, he keeps to himself, living in his mother’s basement in Woodbridge, Virginia, where he’s been grieving the loss of his beloved pet chihuahua, while working a data entry job for his family’s bail bonds business.

‘He’s not politically affiliated with anything,’ the grandmother told the Daily Mail during an interview at her home in Gainesville, Virginia. ‘He has no social media contacts. He’s never online going back and forth with politics or anything like that. He says he don’t like either party.

‘He’s borderline autistic,’ she added. ‘He’s slow. He may be 30, but he’s got the mind of a 16-year-old. That’s why we’re thinking – What the hell? What’s going on?’

Brian Cole was taken into custody on Thursday and charged with use of an explosive device and attempted malicious destruction by means of explosive materials.

Cole admitted to investigators that he planted pipe bombs at the RNC and DNC headquarters on January 5, the night before the Capitol riot.

Brian Cole made his first appearance in court before a magistrate judge in DC on Friday.

The Shadow War: How LA County’s Power Brokers Ousted Sheriff Alex Villanueva to Bury Their Corruption Scandals

Los Angeles County has always run on power, proximity, and the kind of insider privilege that never appears on a balance sheet. But over the last four years, the mask has slipped.

The coordinated takedown of former Sheriff Alex Villanueva wasn’t a matter of reform, ideology, or even public safety. It was a political survival mission, a shadow war waged by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and their well-funded network of nonprofits, consultants, and operatives who needed Villanueva out of the way before his investigations dragged them into the sunlight.

The truth is brutally simple: Villanueva became a threat the moment he started pulling the threads that held LA County’s corruption tapestry together.

Today, as new scandals erupt across homelessness funding, ARPA distributions, and county contracting, the motive behind his removal has never been clearer. They didn’t defeat Villanueva because he failed. They defeated him because he got too close.

The unraveling started in October 2021, when Villanueva publicly accused the Board of Supervisors of operating like a continuing criminal enterprise and urged the FBI to investigate.

It wasn’t hyperbole; it was a direct shot at the county’s ruling class and their multimillion-dollar political machine. What followed was the kind of coordinated response that only happens when power brokers feel the walls closing in.

Villanueva’s internal Public Corruption Unit had already begun connecting dots between county contracts, campaign donors, political appointees, and no-bid deals quietly awarded to friends of the Board. One of those threads led straight to Supervisor Sheila Kuehl and her close ally Patti Giggans, whose nonprofit, Peace Over Violence, won an eyebrow-raising series of sole-source contracts to operate a transit hotline that produced more invoices than meaningful data. LASD investigators executed warrants in September 2022, and the political establishment erupted in outrage, accusing Villanueva of retaliation rather than acknowledging the substance of the allegations. It was the moment the fight went from backstage maneuvering to open warfare.
