Chicago Mayor Johnson Calls for Insurrection

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is rallying the people to begin an insurrection, but of course, it is (D)ifferent. “Are you prepared to defend this land that was built by slaves and indigenous people?” the mayor asked, urging the people to “resist” the US National Guard, while of course, adding in divisive racial political rhetoric.

Rather than urging the people to band together toward peace, Brandon Johnson would like the people to fight American troops in favor of dangerous criminals. The federal government does not have the authority to deploy troops to prevent overall crime, however, the federal government can and will deploy troops to expel illegal migrants.

The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested 4,775 people in the Chicago Area of Responsibility in the first four months of the year, which expands beyond Illinois to five neighboring states. As reported by ABC, 47% of those arrested has prior criminal convictions, and 35% were wanted for criminal charges. Only 18% of those arrested in that four-month period had no prior ties to criminal activity. The majority of the people deported from the Chicago area are Venezuelan or Mexican nationals who commonly have ties to criminal organizations. Chicago and Illinois in general has become a refuge for criminals as blue policies permit crime and favor the criminal over the common man.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson continually praise the recent 30% drop in crime. Sorry, but the inner city is nearly an active war zone. Chicago had the most homicides in absolute numbers for 13 consecutive years. Yet, arrest rates remain extremely low at 16.2% despite 147,899 reported crimes since January 1, 2025. President Trump noted that Chicago’s murder rate was double that of Islamabad and nearly 15 times that of Delhi. There were 573 homicides in 2024, but blue lawmakers praise the 8% decrease from the 620 homicides in 2023.

Judge Orders Trump Admin To Release Billions In Frozen Foreign Aid Funding

A federal judge ruled that the Trump administration cannot withhold billions of dollars in foreign assistance approved by Congress, including aid that the White House recently said it would not spend.

The Trump administration must release $11.5 billion in foreign aid that is set to expire at the end of the month, said U.S. District Judge Amir Ali in a Sept. 3 decision.

“There is not a plausible interpretation of the statutes that would justify the billions of dollars they plan to withhold,” Ali wrote in his ruling.

To be clear, no one disputes that Defendants have significant discretion in how to spend the funds at issue, and the Court is not directing Defendants to make payments to any particular recipients. But Defendants do not have any discretion as to whether to spend the funds.”

The Trump administration last week requested that Congress rescind $4.9 billion in foreign aid. The $11.5 billion figure includes the $4.9 billion.

In accordance with the Impoundment Control Act, a rescission is when the White House requests Congress to reverse government funding that has been appropriated by Congress. Typically, it must be approved within 45 days of the request being sent to Congress, or else the money must be spent.

Given that this request was made within 45 days of the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30, the cancellation could take effect without Congress approving it. This maneuver is known as a pocket rescission.

Ali wrote that the funding is to be spent since Congress appropriated it.

“It is undisputed the relevant appropriations acts have been valid law from the time they were enacted to today. For almost all that period, Defendants did not even dispute that the laws were mandatory and required them to spend the funds,” he wrote. “The President never asked Congress to rescind the funds at issue even though he successfully sought rescission of analogous funds in May 2025.”

The Trump administration filed a notice of appeal on Sept. 4.

President Trump has the executive authority to ensure that all foreign aid is accountable to taxpayers and aligns with the America First priorities people voted for,” White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said in a statement.

Stupiditywatch: The confederacy of dunces on the left who wish Trump dead

Beyond words pathetic!  

It’s so pathetic that when some moonbat wishfully speculated on social media that Trump was dead because he had not been on T.V. for ten minutes, they all jumped on board.   

Millions of these dimwits gleefully accepted this bit of nonsense, believing it was true despite there being absolutely not a shred of evidence.  

They said he was incommunicado, but he was holding a four-hour cabinet meeting, which was being streamed. He golfed with his granddaughter.  He is hardly off of Truth Social for more than a few minutes.  

And yet they fell for it.  They are the most willing dupes on the planet.  They want him dead so badly.  

All their attempts at destroying the man failed. Their wholly unconstitutional lawfare failed; their plan to ruin him financially failed. The assassination attempts, the ease with which they occurred, suggest that the skids were greased; some very evil people wanted those assassins to succeed. Why was CNN present only at that Butler rally?  Someone knew there was a plan. How many were in on it?  That is the question of the day.

Since the past weekend, we’ve been treated to all manner of imbecility from the left.  

The despicably clownish governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, waxed rhapsodic about the possibility of Trump’s death.  

He thinks he’s funny, but he is ghoulish.  To think this man might have been vice president gives one serious pause, just as the thought of Kamala Harris as president is well and truly frightening.  

Then there is Jen Psaki, who is in the gutter of anti-Trumpism with mendacious Joy Reid, the always blindingly partisan Chuck Todd, Jake Tapper, and every reptile on MSNBC and CNN, etc.  

That so many members of our mind-numbed media fell for the suggestion that Trump was dead or ill shows just how unqualified they are to read their fabricated news to us.  

They broadcast their wishful thinking without a shred of evidence to support “theories” made up out of whole cloth.

Senator Tammy Duckworth: Trump Vaporizing That Drug Cartel Vessel Means He’ll Use the Military to Interfere in Elections or Something

This week, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker said that the real reason Trump wants to bring National Guard troops into Chicago is so that he can ‘set the stage’ to use the U.S. Military to interfere in future elections like the 2026 midterms.

As insane as that sounds, it has apparently now become a talking point among Democrats.

While appearing on MSNBC, Illinois Senator Tammy Duckworth added another crazy dimension to this, suggesting that when Trump took out that cartel vessel this week, that was proof that he is going to use the U.S. Military to interfere in future elections.

If any of this makes sense to you, you might be a Democrat.

Breitbart News has details:

While discussing speaking with federal officials about possible immigration crackdowns in Illinois, Duckworth said, “Overall, the city of North Chicago and the surrounding communities have made it clear to their law enforcement officers that they will not cooperate with DHS and ICE unless there is a federal warrant, not one of these fake ICE warrants, but a federal warrant.

And that they’re not going to participate [in] and support ICE actions in basically harassing and intimidating everyday people on the streets of our cities.”

She added that “this President is setting the conditions so that he can actually unilaterally occupy the streets of our cities and interfere in the next election, do what he wants.”

Gavin Newsom Blames Trump for California’s Unemployment Rate – That Is One Point Lower than It Was a Year Ago when Joe Biden Was President

California Governor Gavin Newsom attempted to blame President Trump for the unemployment rate today in the once Golden State.

The latest numbers show that California has an unemployment rate of 4.4%.

Newsome wrote on X: “The unemployment rate has increased to 4.3% This is the highest unemployment rate since the pandemic. Donald Trump is wrecking our economy.”

Of course, this is another Newsom lie.

According to the St. Louis Fed, the unemployment rate one year ago in September, 2024 under Joe Biden was 5.5%, higher than it is today.

REVEALED: Secret Service Spent $81,000 on Kamala Harris’ Trip to Australia Where She Was Paid $500,000 to Bash Elon Musk and Trump

The Secret Service spent a whopping $81,000 on Kamala Harris’ trip to Australia earlier this year, where she was paid $500,000 to bash Elon Musk and Trump at a real estate conference.

President Trump has since yanked Harris’ Secret Service protection.

“The Center to Advance Security in America commends President Trump’s decision to remove Secret Service protection for former Vice President and failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris,” Fitzpatrick said.

“CASA recently obtained records showing that the Secret Service spent $81,000 to protect Harris on her trip to the Australian Real Estate Conference in May, where she engaged in political attacks on the Trump administration and its allies, and was paid $500,000,” Fitzpatrick added. “This is a waste of taxpayer dollars, and the American people should not be expected to fund the protection of Harris as she travels the world in an attempt to line her pockets.”

Top Biden Aide Andrew Bates Refuses to Answer Whether Joe Biden Actually Ran the White House; Lashes Out at Trump in Testimony to Oversight Committee

Biden aide Andrew Bates arrived on Capitol Hill on Friday morning to testify before the House Oversight Committee.

House Oversight Chairman James Comer subpoenaed several top Biden aides to testify on Biden’s mental health decline.

Andrew Bates refused to answer whether Joe Biden actually ran the White House when he arrived at his deposition.

According to The Hill, Andrew Bates lashed out at Trump during his opening statement to the Oversight Committee.

The Hill reported:

Andrew Bates, a former senior deputy press secretary for President Biden, slammed the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee investigating his former boss on Friday in an opening statement he made to the panel.

Bates is on Capitol Hill as one of multiple former Biden aides who have gone in person before the panel for the committee’s investigation into Biden’s mental acuity and use of an autopen. He appeared voluntarily.

The former White House official lambasted President Trump in his statement to the GOP-led panel. He said lawmakers are wasting taxpayer money to investigate Biden but turn a blind eye to a multitude of what he deemed offenses being committed by the Oval Office’s current occupant.

“As illegal tariffs raise the costs that Trump promised to lower, the sitting president is profiting off of the American people. He has sold special access to whomever bought the most of his
cryptocurrency. He is illegally trying to take over the Federal Reserve, which Republican economists warn will increase inflation,” Bates said, according to his statement obtained by The Hill.

Chairman Comer previously demanded testimony from: Biden White House physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor, Director of Domestic Policy Council Neera Tanden, Former Assistant to the President and Senior Advisor to First Lady Jill Biden Anthony Bernal, Former Assistant to the President and Deputy Chief of Staff Annie Tomasini, Former Special Assistant to the President and Deputy Director of Oval Office Operations Ashley Williams.

Far-Left Judge SCREAMS at DOJ Lawyers From the Bench During Hearing on DC Man Who Threatened to Kill Trump After Grand Jury Declines Indictment – Pirro Responds

A far-left magistrate judge erupted during a hearing on Thursday after the DOJ dismissed a case against a DC man who threatened to kill President Trump.

Earlier this week, a DC grand jury declined to indict Edward Dana after he was arrested for damaging a light fixture at a DC restaurant.

Dana also allegedly threatened to kill President Trump and the DC Metro officer who arrested him.

“I’m not going to tolerate fascism. … And that means killing you, officer, killing the president, killing anyone who stands in the way of our Constitution,” Dana allegedly said, according to KTLA. “You want to stand in the way of our Constitution, I will f—ing kill you.”

Federal Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui on Thursday screamed from the bench and blasted DOJ lawyers during a hearing to dismiss the case.

The judge also apologized to the defendant who threatened kill Trump!

This thread…documenting a federal judge’s stark warnings, literally screaming from the bench about the Trump DOJ abusing rights in DC.

Judge Farriqui: “It’s September 4.. as of now we still have a Constitutional democracy” https://t.co/2rSn0U79Gm

— Todd Zwillich (@toddzwillich) September 4, 2025

CBS News reported:

A federal judge excoriated the Justice Department over its handling of criminal cases during the Trump administration’s ongoing federal takeover of Washington, D.C., saying at a hearing Thursday that the department has brought “embarrassment and shame” on the government during its “rush” to charge individuals.

U.S. District Judge Zia Faruqui apologized to Edward Dana, a man who was charged for what the Justice Department and U.S. Secret Service said was a threat to kill President Trump last month. Dana spent a week in jail, only to have the charges against him dropped Thursday.

Faruqui said the U.S. is “past the point of constitutional crisis,” as the Trump administration “is playing cops and robbers, like children” during the federal takeover of Washington’s police department.

The judge also criticized the Justice Department over the D.C. U.S. attorney’s multiple failed indictments in recent weeks, saying he had a “grave concern” that in a “rush to get stats on Twitter or Truth Social” touting the takeover, the Justice Department has not given time to those who have been “illegally detained.”

Trump Is Alive. The Media’s Credibility Is Dead

To the surprise of nobody with a brain, President Donald Trump is alive and well. Over the weekend a bizarre conspiracy theory began circulating claiming Trump had died and that his death was being covered up. It mattered naught that he was spotted golfing and posting on social media.

Under normal circumstances, such an outlandish hoax probably would not warrant coverage. But the propaganda press jumped to cover the hoax, not because they believed Trump was dead, but because the story provided them an opportunity to recycle hysterical speculation about Trump’s health.

The irony of course is glaring. For four years, the same propaganda press either ignored President Joe Biden’s obvious physical and cognitive decline or explained it away. When it came to Biden, the media’s guiding principle was “look the other way.” When it comes to Trump, they eagerly amplify even the most unserious conspiracy if it offers a way to question his ability to execute the duties of his office.

Nowhere is this more apparent in The New York Times’ coverage of the hoax.

“President Trump is Alive. The Internet Was Convinced Otherwise,” The Times’ Katie Rogers wrote, peddling a fringe rumor as a legitimate storyline.

“President Trump had nothing on his public schedule for three days last week. He is often sporting a large, purple bruise on his right hand, which he sometimes slathers with makeup. His ankles are swollen. He is the oldest person to be elected president,” Rogers wrote. Only after painting an unflattering portrait of Trump did Rogers get around to mentioning the actual conspiracy theory.

Rogers lets the cat out of the bag about the real reason she wrote the piece, writing toward the end that “For years, justifiable concerns and questions about Mr. Trump’s health have often been met with obfuscation or minimal explanation from the people around him.”

In other words, the purpose of the article was never actually about the hoax itself; it was just an opportunity to regurgitate baseless speculations about Trump’s health.

This was in stark contrast to The Times’ coverage of President Joe Biden, who was rarely seen, rarely held cabinet meetings, and avoided the press at all costs.

When Biden resigned from the 2024 election, The Times’ Stuart A. Thompson wrote: “Far Right Spreads Baseless Claims About Biden’s Whereabouts.”

Thompson immediately dismissed the “conspiracy” theory before attacking anyone who questioned Biden’s sudden departure from the presidential race just weeks after a disastrous debate performance that left many questioning whether Biden was even able to function daily.

Or take MSNBC’s Jen Psaki — Biden’s former press secretary — who said, “We may never know why Donald Trump suddenly spends a week hiding entirely from the American public.”

Never mind that Trump wasn’t hiding at all — the statement allowed Psaki to peddle the hoax while planting the idea that Trump was being secretive or ill. Psaki, of course, spent years covering for Biden’s obvious decline.

The Associated Press couldn’t resist slanting the story either. A post on X read: “Trump says social media conspiracies about his death were wrong.”

CNN Now Pushing Conspiracy Theory That Trump is Going to Cancel Future Elections

CNN is now pushing the conspiracy theory, popular among leftists, that President Trump is going to cancel future elections.

For years, while Republicans were out of power, CNN and other liberal media outlets constantly accused people on the right of embracing and pushing conspiracy theories. You know, things like the Hunter Biden laptop, Biden’s mental infirmity, things like that which ultimately turned out to be true.

Now that Democrats are out of power, CNN thinks nothing of pushing untrue conspiracy theories, just because they think it could potentially harm Trump politically.

This is an actual CNN report:

Trump canceling elections? Democrats increasingly sound alarm bells.https://t.co/17MmM4npRH

— Aaron Blake (@AaronBlake) September 2, 2025

From the report:

When President Donald Trump sat down with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last month, the topic was the weighty issue of ending Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. But at one point, Trump took a provocative diversion into domestic politics.

Zelensky noted that, in his country, the law doesn’t allow for elections during periods of martial law.

“So you say during the war, you can’t have elections,” Trump responded. “So let me just say, three and a half years from now – so you mean, if we happen to be in a war with somebody, no more elections? Oh, that’s good.”

Laughter ensued. Trump wondered aloud what the “fake news” would do with his comment.

But increasingly, Democrats aren’t laughing.

A growing number of them are arguing Trump will do something to either try to cancel or commandeer elections to keep his hold on power.

That might seem ridiculous to some. Trump hasn’t explicitly said he plans to cancel elections, and he said last month he would “probably not” run for a third term, which the Constitution forbids anyway. But the president has certainly floated such possibilities before and done plenty of anti-democratic things.
