Former Marine and Florida Congressional Candidate Declares Trump Is the “Anti-Christ” and “False Messiah,” Says He Must Be “KILLED” in Unhinged Video Rant — Marine Corps Responds

A former U.S. Marine who is now running as a write-in candidate for Congress in Florida is facing widespread condemnation after posting a lengthy video in which he declared that President Donald Trump “must be killed” while describing the commander-in-chief as the “anti-Christ.”

The disturbing remarks prompted an unusually swift public response from the U.S. Marine Corps, which made clear that William Upham’s rhetoric does not reflect the values of the Corps or the oath he once took.

William Upham posted a deeply disturbing six-minute video to his X account. As of the time of writing, the video remained available on his account.

Wearing his military uniform, the medically discharged former Marine First Lieutenant leveled the ultimate threat against the leader of the America First movement, declaring that President Trump “must be killed”.

He claimed he reached a “turning point” in his campaign after realizing “our country is broken” and that “we are led by a president who’s the enemy of God.”

Upham tied his hatred to President Trump’s recent criticism of Pope Leo XIV and an AI-generated image Trump posted depicting himself in a Jesus-like pose. “He is nothing like Jesus Christ,” Upham said.

The former Marine tried to cloak his call for assassination in religious language, claiming “we are at war with evil” and that “this is a war between God and the Antichrist.”

Jack Smith team read messages between Trump officials, dozens of lawmakers of both parties: ‘Ran roughshod over the Constitution’

More than 40 members of Congress had their text messages viewed by former special counsel Jack Smith’s team amid a probe into President Trump, a move that Republicans say “ran roughshod over the Constitution.”

The Department of Justice released records to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) on Tuesday revealing that the special counsel’s office had accessed communications between Trump White House personnel and 44 lawmakers from both parties.

Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ); Rep. Adam Smith (D-Wash.), the current ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee; current Los Angeles mayor and former Rep. Karen Bass (D-Calif.); and former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY), now the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, were just some of the new names whose messages were seen.

Grassley himself, Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), House Majority Leader Steve Scalies (R-La.) and Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) were also targeted.

Asked during a December 2025 congressional deposition whether his team looked at “the content of text messages” during his twin probes into the 45th and 47th president, Smith answered, “No.”

Liberal Journal ‘The Atlantic’ Claims the Era of the Democrat ‘Manly Man’ is Back

Democrats have a serious problem with men. We saw it during the 2024 election, as men abandoned the Democrat Party in droves and voted for Trump and Vance.

The reasons for this are pretty obvious. The left has been demonizing men for years, calling masculinity ‘toxic.’ At a certain point, men began getting the message that they are not welcome in the Democrat Party and they left.

The liberal media knows this and is going to try to help the Democrats if they can. That’s what this Atlantic article is all about.

From the piece:

Brian Poindexter had just finished wolfing down a Reuben sandwich in a deli outside Cleveland when he delivered a message that, coming from a Democratic House candidate in the year 2026, sounded almost provocative. “There’s nothing wrong with being masculine,” Poindexter told me. It’s okay, he said, to be “a manly man.”

Poindexter’s own manliness credentials are fully in order. The 46-year-old started working in a machine shop as a teenager and spent years hauling furniture across the country before finding stability as a union ironworker. He drives a Ram Big Horn pickup truck and built, with his buddy turned campaign manager, a shed in his backyard. Now Poindexter is running for Congress, trying to flip a Republican-held seat in Ohio with a pitch aimed at a constituency that has abandoned the Democratic Party over the past two decades: men…

Critiques such as Poindexter’s have gelled into a consensus over the past two years, repeated ad nauseam by starchy senators and governors with an eye toward running for president in 2028. Closing the gender gap now seems to be an official electoral strategy for Democrats. A couple of months ago, I got a call from a party operative who pitched a story on the Democrats’ effort to “win back the manosphere.” The operative ran through a list of a half dozen candidates in key House districts who “are engaging culturally in male spaces”—a bit of gobbledygook that I took to mean “manly men,” or perhaps “guy’s guys,” but that also reflects the sort of anthropological distance that points to the depth of the party’s problem. After all, an ironworker probably wouldn’t describe himself as “engaging culturally in male spaces.”

Does everyone remember the famous ad featuring Men for Kamala? How did that go over?

ENDLESS SOCIALIST SCANDALS: Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez’s Brother David Convicted of Nepotism and Administrative Misconduct, Banned From Public Service for 9 years

Another charge of influence peddling was dismissed, so no prison term was imposed.

While Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez goes around the world posing as a statesman in NATO and EU forums, back home, his party, his inner circle, and even his family are endlessly plagued with corruption scandals and investigations.

Less than a month ago, reports arose about Sánchez’s wife’s grift prosecution: Spanish PM Sánchez’s Wife, Begoña Gomez, Can’t Leave the Country While Standing Trial for Corruption

And today (14), David ‌Sánchez, Pedro’s brother, was convicted of nepotism and administrative misconduct and banned from holding public office for nine years.

Reuters reported:

“The ruling deals a fresh political blow to the Socialist premier, whose government and ​inner circle have faced corruption investigations and scandals over the past two years. Last ⁠month, a former close aide to Sánchez was sentenced to 24 years in prison in a ​separate corruption case.

David Sánchez was accused of benefiting from an appointment tailored to him because of ​his family connection to the prime minister, who when the job was awarded had just been elected leader of the Socialists when they were still in opposition. The prime minister has dismissed the case as part of a politically ​motivated campaign driven by the far right.”

The Badajoz court found that the position was created without administrative need, serving only the PM’s brother’s personal interests.

“The defendants ‌engaged ⁠in a grossly arbitrary exercise of power with the sole aim of favoring specific individuals,” the ruling said, adding that one of the posts was later modified to accommodate David Sánchez’s interest in opera.

The court dismissed the charge of influence peddling, which could have carried a prison sentence. Right-wing pressure ​groups had sought prison ​time for Sánchez, while ⁠prosecutors requested the case be dismissed.”

De-Banked: It’s Only A Matter Of Time Before It Happens To You

“We are writing to inform you that we cannot continue serving you.

As a result of this decision, your account will be closed within 14 days from the date of this letter.

Any remaining account balances will be sent by check to the address we have on file.”

Sooner or later, expect your bank to send you a letter like this.

They won’t even tell you why they are closing your account, and you will probably have trouble opening accounts at other banks.

De-banking is a disturbing and growing trend.

In short, the ruling elite – parasites, more accurately – have weaponized the banking system to enforce conformity to their preferred narrative.

If you don’t lap up their lies about Covid, climate, elections, wars, rising crime, or whatever the media is hyping as the “current thing,” expect the financial hammer to come down on you without warning.

You could lose your ability to take payment from your customers and pay your bills at the drop of a hat.

We’ve seen banks close the accounts of prominent doctors critical of the Covid mass hysteria and politicians opposed to schemes to centralize power on a global level (globalism).

However, for every example of a bank closing a high-profile person’s account, hundreds – or thousands – of other ordinary people likely receive the same despicable treatment but are never heard from.

Leftist Democrat Pushing Radical Feminist “Equal Rights Amendment” Left Stumped When GOP Rep. Brandon Gill Asks Her An Important Question

One of the Republican Party’s rising stars humiliated a radical leftist Democrat pushing for the infamous “Equal Rights Amendment” with a very important question during a congressional hearing.

On Tuesday, Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) chaired a House Oversight Committee on combating the use of DEI in American institutions. While the Trump Administration has made remarkable progress in its war against this racist cancer, it remains prevalent across several colleges and big businesses around the country.

When it was her turn to speak, Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) decided to go on a wild tirade against the Trump Administration, accusing them of rigging the Supreme Court and enacting “precise harm” on working families.

Pressley also called the GOP agenda “anti-black, anti-immigrant, anti-LGBTQ, anti-worker, anti-veteran, anti-rural, anti-disabled, and anti-woman.”

After concluding her rant against the Trump Administration, Pressley announced she was reintroducing the pro-feminist “Equal Rights Amendment” to combat what she called “systemic gender discrimination.”

“The Constitution is silent on this topic (of equal rights), so that is why I have introduced legislation to add the Equal Rights Amendment as the 28th Amendment, enshrining it as the law of this land,” she said. “Every Democrat in the House has signed on; I’m just waiting on my Republican colleagues to join us.”

How To Beat Back The Democratic Socialists

New York City’s Democrat primary results set off a political fuse that is causing explosions across Democrat federal, state, and local power structures. The victorious Democratic Socialists of America smoked two Democrat incumbents in Congress and elected a third DSA member to an open Congressional seat, ended the political careers of Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer and House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries, and set up the DSA as the kingmaker in the 2028 presidential primaries.

Why did the far left of the Democrat party, represented by the DSA, suddenly amplify its rhetoric from universal health care, oligarchy, and affordability to an intense onslaught against America, Israel, and capitalism? And in doing so, mount a challenge to the Democrat establishment?

Next Presidential Election

The answer is Election 2028. Democrat leadership shut out the young, radical generation for two decades. Democrat voters haven’t had a choice for President since 2008, when Barack Obama was the far-left’s lightbringer. Then the Democrat leadership connived to steal the 2016 and 2020 presidential nominations from socialist Bernie Sanders.

With political strength in America’s largest cities — New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles — it’s tempting to write off the primary results as an urban problem. The truth is, the DSA members hold over 250 elected offices nationwide.

The DSA and its allies have been training for a power-grab for a decade. In 2018, it auditioned Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for her unexpected primary victory over a longtime Congressional incumbent. During 2020’s George Floyd “summer of love” primary, a middle school principal of a failing Bronx charter school by the name of Jamaal Bowman beat New York incumbent Congressman Eliot Engle, then the chairman of the House Foreign Relations Committee and an ardent supporter of Israel.

Working through AOC’s Squad got copious press but modest headway until the election of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who showed the DSA that openly professing antisemitism, anti-Americanism, and Marxism was a winning combination with no meaningful political consequences.

As a result, the DSA movement is invigorated by an intensity of purpose that would have been political suicide in any other election cycle.

Ahead of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, DSA éminence grise Senator Bernie Sanders voiced the same conclusion: “I believe that it may just be possible that this country is on the verge of the political revolution we have fought for for such a long time.”

Mamdani Is Wrong: Italians Contributed More to New York Culture Than Palestinians or Tibetans

Has anyone ever heard of Little Palestine or eaten at a Tibetan restaurant in New York? When visiting New York, what is your favorite Guyanese festival?

In a recent map of New York City’s immigrant neighborhoods produced in association with the World Cup, New York’s socialist mayor, Zohran Mamdani, excluded Italian neighborhoods despite the fact that Italians were one of the city’s largest immigrant groups and among its greatest contributors to its culture. Mamdani lives in New York, yet somehow does not know what the city is famous for or which ethnicity has become an institution known around the world: the New York Italian.

Instead, the map included much newer and smaller communities that, in some cases, number only a few hundred people, have had little or no impact on the city’s culture, and that most New Yorkers have never heard of. These include Little Tibet, Little Palestine, Little Africa, Little Guyana, Little Bangladesh, and Little Egypt.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion means not only excluding whites and Europeans but also rewriting history to eliminate or vilify the contributions of whites and Europeans while exaggerating the contributions of minorities. Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal recently claimed that immigrants from Somalia built the United States of America. As Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) said, “This country was built by Somalis, Indians, Latinos, Africans.”

Italians have shaped New York since the era of mass immigration to the United States. Between the 1880s and 1920, more than 4 million Italians arrived in the United States, making them the single largest immigrant group and accounting for more than 10 percent of the nation’s foreign-born population at the time. Most entered through New York, first via Castle Garden and, after 1892, through Ellis Island, although other major U.S. ports, including Boston, Philadelphia, Providence, and New Orleans, also received large numbers of Italian immigrants directly.

Roughly a third of Italian immigrants settled in New York City, building neighborhoods from Little Italy and Arthur Avenue to Astoria, Bensonhurst, and Staten Island’s South Shore, now the most Italian-American county in the country. Their labor built the subway system, the Brooklyn Bridge, and much of the city’s early infrastructure.

Today, New York State holds the largest Italian-American population of any state, about 2.2 million residents, or 11.1 percent of the state’s population. That heritage is marked every October with the Columbus Day Parade, organized by the Columbus Citizens Foundation since 1929, drawing 35,000 marchers and roughly a million spectators to Fifth Avenue and broadcast to more than 7.4 million television households, also carried live on RAI International.

Vatican Rejects US Claim That Pope Leo Speaks as a Politician, Insists That Leo XIV’s Opinions on War and Migrants Are Official ‘Proclamations of the Gospel’

The Globalist playbook of ideas does not equate to the teaching of the Gospels.

We have been reporting here on TGP about the most disturbing behavior by leftist Pope Leo XIV, who lets his ideological bias fly in the defense of ideas that are popular with the Globalist-Liberal establishment of our planet.

It’s the war, it’s the migrants, it’s global warming: Leo opens his mouth, and predictable leftist talking points fill the air.

Most conservative Catholics are disgusted by his relentless political statements, but the US ambassador to the Holy See went above and beyond, playing down Leo XIV’s criticism of the U.S. war in Iran, saying he spoke as a politician, not a religious leader.

The Vatican issued an angry public rebuttal, arguing that when Leo’s talks about war, migrants and other topics, he is ‘officially proclaiming the Gospel’.

South Carolina Gov. Appoints Darline Graham Nordone to Finish Lindsey Graham’s Term

Gov. Henry McMaster (R-SC) picked Sen. Lindsey Graham’s (R-SC) sister, Darline Graham Nordone, to serve as interim senator, and complete the remainder of her brother’s term.

During a press conference on Monday, McMaster expressed that it was his duty and “honor to name someone to serve in the place” of Graham, whose term runs through the end of the 119th Congress on January 3, 2027. McMaster’s selection of Graham Nordone to take her brother’s seat in the Senate comes after Graham’s office announced on Sunday that he had died at the age of 71 after “a brief and sudden illness.”

“Today, under the law, it’s my duty to and honor to name someone to serve in the place of this irresistible man, this irreplaceable man, this extraordinary man for the remainder of his term,” McMaster said. “Lindsey took care of his little sister in years long departed. It’s my honor to ask his little sister, Darline Graham to finish his work for him now.”

McMaster continued to talk about how prior to having a phone conservation with Graham Nordone regarding her serving out the remainder of her brother’s term, he “had wondered” what she would say and was humbled by her “quickness to see the duty” for her to serve.
