										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A judge decided that teacher Enoch Burke, who was arrested after rejecting a student&#8217;s fake pronouns, won&#8217;t be released from jail for Christmas as the case goes on.</p>
<p>Justice Brian Cregan stated that he had no intention of releasing him for Easter and questioned why previous courts had granted Burke temporary freedom during his previous four contempt-related incarcerations. He pointed out that when other convicts are in contempt, they are not treated in the same way. Sounds like Mr. Cregan is an idiot.</p>
<p>Burke was suspended in 2022 and later dismissed after refusing an instruction to address a transgender student by a fake name and they/them pronouns. He argued that the directive violated his constitutional and religious beliefs. He had earlier succeeded in challenging the composition of the first appeals panel. He should succeed because no one should be giving this nonsense the time of day in the first place.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx2384wjr7go" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Burke appeared in court<span class="wpil-link-icon" title="Link goes to external site." style="margin: 0 0 0 5px;"><svg width="24" height="24" style="height:14px; width:14px; fill:#ffffff; stroke:#ffffff; display:inline-block;" viewBox="0 0 24 24" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g id="wpil-svg-outbound-1-icon-path" transform="matrix(0.046875,0,0,0.046875,0.0234375,0.02343964)">

<p>Much of the hearing centered on Burke’s objections to language used in the judge’s recent contempt ruling, which described him as “a baleful and malign presence” and “an intruder” who posed a potential danger to teachers and pupils.</p>
<p>If anyone is a danger here, it&#8217;s the parents of any children who use fake names and fake pronouns. Those parents failed their kids.</p>
<p>I guess we&#8217;ll find out what happens to Burke in the future.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Federal investigators have detained a man from Virginia in relation to two pipe bombs that were put outside the buildings of the Democratic National Committee and Republican National Committee the evening before the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.</p>
<p>He is anticipated to be charged for allegedly installing the devices, which authorities found to be functional explosives that may kill or seriously injure people.</p>
<p>It remains unclear what evidence investigators gathered that allegedly links him to the planting of the bombs. The arrest comes nearly <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/suspect-arrested-jan-6-pipe-bomb-case-sources/story?id=128093323" target="_blank" rel="noopener">five years after<span class="wpil-link-icon" title="Link goes to external site." style="margin: 0 0 0 5px;"><svg width="24" height="24" style="height:14px; width:14px; fill:#ffffff; stroke:#ffffff; display:inline-block;" viewBox="0 0 24 24" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g id="wpil-svg-outbound-1-icon-path" transform="matrix(0.046875,0,0,0.046875,0.0234375,0.02343964)">
                            <path d="M 473.563,227.063 407.5,161 262.75,305.75 c -25,25 -49.563,41 -74.5,16 -25,-25 -9,-49.5 16,-74.5 L 349,102.5 283.937,37.406 c -14.188,-14.188 -2,-37.906 19,-37.906 h 170.625 c 20.938,0 37.938,16.969 37.938,37.906 v 170.688 c 0,20.937 -23.687,33.187 -37.937,18.969 z M 63.5,447.5 h 320 V 259.313 l 64,64 V 447.5 c 0,35.375 -28.625,64 -64,64 h -320 c -35.375,0 -64,-28.625 -64,-64 v -320 c 0,-35.344 28.625,-64 64,-64 h 124.188 l 64,64 H 63.5 Z" />

<p>The discovery of the bombs triggered a major law enforcement response minutes before hundreds of Trump supporters breached barricades at the Capitol as lawmakers met to certify Joe Biden’s election win.</p>
<p>Investigators struggled for years to identify the suspect due to a lack of distinctive traits and issued multiple public appeals for tips. The <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/education-department-dismantling-means-127648174" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FBI conducted<span class="wpil-link-icon" title="Link goes to external site." style="margin: 0 0 0 5px;"><svg width="24" height="24" style="height:14px; width:14px; fill:#ffffff; stroke:#ffffff; display:inline-block;" viewBox="0 0 24 24" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><use href="#wpil-svg-outbound-1-icon-path"></use></svg></span></a> more than 1,000 interviews, reviewed more than 39,000 video files, and investigated over 600 tips. The bureau also offered a reward of $500,000 for information leading to the suspect’s identification.</p>
<p>The lack of answers fueled conspiracy theories about political motivations and claims of an inside operation. Dan Bongino, now deputy FBI director, said in 2024 that the bombing was a setup, though no evidence has confirmed such claims.</p>
<p>Then Vice President-elect Kamala Harris was within 20 feet of the DNC device when she arrived at the building and stayed inside for nearly an hour before the bomb was found.</p>
<p>In another note, Jake Tapper accidentally suggested the suspect was a white guy. Nah, he&#8217;s black.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Due to overdue charges owed to the Westside Condominium Association,  Jasmine Crockett&#8217;s Dallas residence is subject to a lien. According to property records, the organization filed the claim on April 11, 2024, and stated that Crockett owes $3,047.79 in total.</p>
<p>The complaint claims that despite repeated requests for payment, she allegedly refused to pay it. Until the outstanding balance is paid, the lien prevents the property from being sold or transferred.</p>
<p>Crockett purchased the condominium in 2014. The unit is located in a gated community that advertises “spa-like” amenities, including a clubhouse, a fitness center, and a pool. The Dallas address remains the one listed on her voter registration and in several public filings.</p>
<p>She gets paid $174,000, so she can clearly pay for it. Crockett’s most recent financial disclosure records also list student loan liabilities estimated to fall between $15,001 and $50,000.</p>
<p>The lien surfaces at a time when she is weighing a potential campaign for the U.S. Senate. In a late November interview, Crockett said she had reviewed internal polling that showed a possible route to victory in a statewide race. She has not yet announced an official bid, and the filing deadline for entering the race is December 8.</p>
<p>Hopefully she gets out of politics and goes on MSNBC/MS NOW with the other morons.</p>
<p>Federal Election Commission records indicate her campaign spent roughly $75,000 on airfare, hotels, and other costs in cities such as Las Vegas, New York, and Martha’s Vineyard. The records also show about $50,000 used for private security services. Crockett has said these security expenses were necessary because she received threats while carrying out her duties.</p>
<p>In other words, she&#8217;s wasting every single penny she can and offering absolutely nothing to America.</p>
<p>Get this ghetto trash out of our government.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>President Trump continues to push his plan to reimburse Americans for tariff dividends in 2026.</p>
<p>Trump claimed the administration anticipates a record tax refund season next year and rejected worries about affordability as a &#8220;Democrat scam.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to Trump, the United States has collected trillions of dollars through tariffs, and he plans to reduce the national debt and return a portion of that money to the people.</p>
<p>Trump also suggested that tariff revenue could eventually become large enough to replace income taxes. He said the government could eliminate income taxes or reduce them to much lower levels, although he did not outline a specific policy.</p>
<p>But the government projections differ from Trump’s claims. The Congressional Budget Office reduced its estimate of tariff revenue for the next decade from $3.3 trillion to $2.5 trillion. The revised projection would add about $500 billion in federal interest costs, bringing the total projected value of tariff revenue to roughly $3 trillion.</p>
<p>Budget analysts and economists question whether tariff dividend checks are financially realistic. Critics note that tariff revenue is unpredictable and that distributing nationwide refunds could be costly. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates that Trump’s tariff policies will raise about <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2025/12/03/trump-2000-dollar-check-update/87588708007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$300 billion per year<span class="wpil-link-icon" title="Link goes to external site." style="margin: 0 0 0 5px;"><svg width="24" height="24" style="height:14px; width:14px; fill:#ffffff; stroke:#ffffff; display:inline-block;" viewBox="0 0 24 24" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g id="wpil-svg-outbound-1-icon-path" transform="matrix(0.046875,0,0,0.046875,0.0234375,0.02343964)">

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The US Supreme Court has temporarily permitted President Donald Trump to enforce his ban on transgender individuals serving in the military while ongoing legal challenges proceed.</p>
<p>Trump signed two executive orders enabling the Pentagon to implement the policy. However, a lower federal court blocked the measure, concluding that the administration had not provided sufficient evidence that transgender service members posed a threat to military effectiveness.</p>
<p>In an emergency appeal, the Trump administration contended that the judiciary should defer to the military’s judgment on matters of national defense. The court’s three liberal justices dissented from the decision, which was issued via an unsigned order.</p>
<p>Trump’s executive order stated that identifying as transgender was incompatible with “a soldier’s commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle” and could hinder military preparedness.</p>
<p>In February, the Department of Defense announced plans to <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd020jl887go" target="_blank">discharge transgender<span class="wpil-link-icon" title="Link goes to external site." style="margin: 0 0 0 5px;"><svg width="24" height="24" style="height:14px; width:14px; fill:#ffffff; stroke:#ffffff; display:inline-block;" viewBox="0 0 24 24" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g id="wpil-svg-outbound-1-icon-path" transform="matrix(0.046875,0,0,0.046875,0.0234375,0.02343964)">

<p>The plaintiffs argued that the policy undermines military readiness, jeopardizes safety, and violates the US Constitution.</p>
<p>Trump and Hegseth stand united on the ban.</p>
<p>Trump signed an executive order that says America will recognize two sexes &#8211; male and female, and suggested that our country is not playing the silly fake pronoun game.</p>
<p>And honestly, that pronoun stuff needs to end. It&#8217;s pathetic brain rot kinda stuff.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Denmark is taking a stand and protecting their identity.</p>
<p>Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said she wants to extend the 2018 ban on niqabs to schools and universities, as well as remove prayer rooms, citing concerns about social control and oppression. The nationwide ban on burkas and niqabs in public spaces hasn’t applied to educational institutions, but Frederiksen, who leads the Social Democrats, believes this was a mistake and demands limits on religious symbols and rituals in education.</p>
<p>She was quoted saying &#8220;you have the right to be a person of faith and practice your religion, but democracy takes precedence.&#8221;</p>
<p>In 2022, a government-formed commission suggested banning hijabs in primary schools to ensure that women from minority backgrounds could enjoy the same rights and freedoms as other Danish women. The proposal sparked backlash and protests at the time and was ultimately rejected in 2023.</p>
<p>The Danish Prime Minister argued that such rooms don’t promote inclusiveness but instead “create a breeding ground for discrimination and pressure.” While she isn’t calling for an outright ban, she said Education Minister Mattias Tesfaye and Higher Education Minister Christina Egelund will work with schools and universities to find a common solution and make it clear that <a href="https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2025/06/05/danish-pm-seeks-to-extend-religious-full-face-veil-ban-to-educational-institutions" target="_blank">prayer rooms don’t belong there<span class="wpil-link-icon" title="Link goes to external site." style="margin: 0 0 0 5px;"><svg width="24" height="24" style="height:14px; width:14px; fill:#ffffff; stroke:#ffffff; display:inline-block;" viewBox="0 0 24 24" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g id="wpil-svg-outbound-1-icon-path" transform="matrix(0.046875,0,0,0.046875,0.0234375,0.02343964)">

<p>The PM also said, &#8220;you&#8217;re welcome to have your religion, but when you&#8217;re at school, you&#8217;re there to be at school and take part in your education.&#8221;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Democrat Pramila Jayapal, a Palestinian activist, is taking the side of illegal immigrants with a major announcement of her own.</p>
<p>She wants to reintroduce the Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act to repeal mandatory immigration detention, prohibit the detention of families and children, and establish oversight mechanisms to for humane treatment and civil rights protections for detained immigrants.</p>
<p>She said during a speech: “<em>Under the Trump Administration, we have seen a shocking surge in the detention of people who have committed no crimes being locked up in increasingly horrifying conditions&#8230; People are being held in squalor, largely in private, for-profit detention facilities, all to pad the bottom lines of prison corporations that donate to <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://crankers.com/tag/donald-trump/"   title="Donald Trump" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked"  data-wpil-monitor-id="1626">Donald Trump</a> and Republicans. As Trump has struck down legal pathways and made it nearly impossible to come to or stay in this country, even for those who have been here for decades, this will only continue to get worse. We must pass this legislation to protect dignity and civil rights in America.</em>” (<a href="https://lynnwoodtimes.com/2025/12/03/immigration-detention/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">source<span class="wpil-link-icon" title="Link goes to external site." style="margin: 0 0 0 5px;"><svg width="24" height="24" style="height:14px; width:14px; fill:#ffffff; stroke:#ffffff; display:inline-block;" viewBox="0 0 24 24" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g id="wpil-svg-outbound-1-icon-path" transform="matrix(0.046875,0,0,0.046875,0.0234375,0.02343964)">

<p>Where was Pramila Jayapal when former President <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://crankers.com/tag/barack-obama/"   title="Barack Obama" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked"  data-wpil-monitor-id="1625">Barack Obama</a> was deporting millions of people? Was she this vocal back then, or is it just because Trump is president?</p>
<p>Jayapal was a senator in 2015 while Barry was president, so I&#8217;m curious if she spoke up back then too&#8230; or is she just doing everything to oppose Trump? Really makes you wonder, doesn&#8217;t it.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>President Donald Trump called for a crackdown on immigrants from Somalia and even suggested that Democrat Ilhan Omar be deported too! Trump said Ilhan Omar should be &#8220;thrown the hell out&#8221; of America.</p>
<p>Trump made a lot of remarks about the Somali immigrants who come to America and do nothing for the country, but complain about things, break the law, and do nothing positive. Trump said he wants to crack down on people coming to America and doing literally nothing to make it any better, but instead &#8211; making it worse.</p>
<p>Someone mentioned the Democrat Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, who said he was proud of the Somali&#8217;s in his city. Frey started his statement in English, then began speaking another language and couldn&#8217;t see the irony in what he was doing. He was making it seem like America was converted into a Somalian nation when he did that.</p>
<p>Trump called Mayor Frey a &#8220;fool&#8221; for his comments. Trump also said: “<em>I wouldn’t be proud. Look how bad their nation is. It’s not even a nation. It’s just people walking around killing each other&#8230; And the Somalians should be out of here. <a href="https://crankers.com/watch/videos/3996/trump-on-somalians-they-come-from-hell-complain-and-do-nothing-but-bitch-we-don-t-want-them-in-our-country/">They have destroyed our country</a>.</em>”</p>
<p>But wait, there&#8217;s more. Trump called out <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://crankers.com/tag/ilhan-omar/"   title="Ilhan Omar" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked"  data-wpil-monitor-id="1624">Ilhan Omar</a> directly: “<em>They have a representative, Ilhan Omar, who they say married her brother, that’s a fraud, she tries to deny it now, but you can’t really deny it because, you know, it just happened&#8230; She shouldn’t be allowed to be a congresswoman&#8230; And I’m sure people are looking at that. And she should be thrown the hell out of our country.</em>”</p>
<p>And while I have your attention, there&#8217;s this video of Trump trashing them:</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Elizabeth Warren suffered a total meltdown over Donald Trump meeting Zohran Mamdani, the incoming mayor of New York City.</p>
<p>In an appearance with CNN&#8217;s &#8220;The Lead,&#8221; she talked about the political consequences of the conversation that had taken place in the Oval Office between the pair, but it only points out one thing &#8211; that Elizabeth Warren and everyone like her IS THE PROBLEM.</p>
<p>Mamdani met with the President. That&#8217;s a good thing. That&#8217;s how politicians can start working together instead of always against each other.</p>
<p>Warren said the President’s decision to meet with Mamdani is connected to Trump’s struggle to address voter anxieties over the rising cost of living. She thinks Trump recognizes that Mamdani has built significant credibility on issues such as housing, wages, and daily living expenses, which became central themes throughout Mamdani’s campaign.</p>
<p>Except nothing Mamdani wants to do is going to be &#8220;free&#8221; like he casually says. It will come from the taxpayers.</p>

<p>The meeting was cordial and cooperative, marking a notable change in tone from the combative exchanges that defined the campaign season. Mamdani, a democratic socialist, ran on a platform titled “The Five Boroughs Against Trump,” positioning himself as a direct political counterweight to the President.</p>
<p>Trump labeled Mamdani a “communist” and warned that he would consider legal action if the mayor-elect followed through on plans to resist federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations.</p>
<p>Warren argued that despite this past, Trump now sees strategic benefit in linking himself to Mamdani&#8217;s growing reputation and popularity. She stated, &#8220;He&#8217;s just trying to take a little of Zohran Mamdani&#8217;s shine and see if he can rub a little on Donald Trump.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump did put his foot down, saying Mamdani needs to be aligned with the White House or face consequences.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Supreme Court weighed in favor of Texas&#8217; new congressional map that was heavily favored by President Donald Trump.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s great news for the GOP, but people like Democrat Jasmine Crockett might be up the creek without a paddle. And that&#8217;s perfectly fine because it&#8217;s not like she does anything anyway. She spends most of her time whining about Trump and Republicans when she&#8217;s not busy putting on her horrendously large fake eyelashes.</p>
<p>On Dec. 4, the Supreme Court ruled that Texas can use a congressional map designed to give former President <a class="wpil_keyword_link" title="Donald Trump" href="https://crankers.com/tag/donald-trump/" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked" data-wpil-monitor-id="1620">Donald Trump</a> and Republicans an edge in the 2026 midterm elections, a decision that could help the GOP maintain control of the U.S. House.</p>
<p>In a split decision, the court put a hold on a lower court’s finding that the map likely discriminates against racial minorities by weakening the voting power of Hispanic and Black Texans. Except, <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/supreme-court-lets-texas-use-congressional-map-favored-by-trump/ar-AA1RJUVt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">it&#8217;s not about race<span class="wpil-link-icon" title="Link goes to external site." style="margin: 0 0 0 5px;"><svg width="24" height="24" style="height:14px; width:14px; fill:#ffffff; stroke:#ffffff; display:inline-block;" viewBox="0 0 24 24" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g id="wpil-svg-outbound-1-icon-path" transform="matrix(0.046875,0,0,0.046875,0.0234375,0.02343964)">

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In response to Zohran Mamdani&#8217;s recent victory as mayor-elect of New York City, the House of Representatives passed a resolution condemning socialism with widespread bipartisan support. With 86 Democrats joining Republicans, the bill passed 285–98. Present votes were cast by two Democrats. The motion was also backed by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who supported Mamdani just days prior to the election.</p>
<p>Introduced by Rep. Maria Salazar, R-Fla., the resolution lists historical examples of socialist governments and cites failures under regimes such as Fidel Castro in Cuba, Mao Zedong in China, and Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela. The text states that “Congress denounces socialism in all its forms and opposes the implementation of socialist policies in the United States.” The resolution is nonbinding.</p>
<p>The vote comes as socialism has gained increased national attention. <a href="https://salazar.house.gov/media/press-releases/house-passes-rep-salazars-resolution-denouncing-horrors-socialism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Progressive figures<span class="wpil-link-icon" title="Link goes to external site." style="margin: 0 0 0 5px;"><svg width="24" height="24" style="height:14px; width:14px; fill:#ffffff; stroke:#ffffff; display:inline-block;" viewBox="0 0 24 24" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g id="wpil-svg-outbound-1-icon-path" transform="matrix(0.046875,0,0,0.046875,0.0234375,0.02343964)">

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., have pushed for a larger government role in healthcare, education, and other services. Mamdani, a self-described socialist, has emerged as another prominent advocate. He is scheduled to meet with President <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://crankers.com/tag/donald-trump/"   title="Donald Trump" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked"  data-wpil-monitor-id="1618">Donald Trump</a> on Friday.</p>
<p>Several lawmakers commented on the vote. Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., said socialism conflicts with American principles of freedom and argued it leads to limits on personal liberty and centralized control of resources. He said Congress has a responsibility to defend capitalism and free-market systems against socialism and other forms of authoritarian governance.</p>
<p>Concerns about the party adopting socialist-aligned programs were also voiced by some Democrats who backed the resolution. Democrats have been asked to adopt a more centrist stance by Rep. Tom Suozzi, D-NY, who voted in <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/86-dems-republicans-condemn-socialism-wake-mamdanis-mayoral-victory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">favor of the bill<span class="wpil-link-icon" title="Link goes to external site." style="margin: 0 0 0 5px;"><svg width="24" height="24" style="height:14px; width:14px; fill:#ffffff; stroke:#ffffff; display:inline-block;" viewBox="0 0 24 24" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><use href="#wpil-svg-outbound-1-icon-path"></use></svg></span></a>. In a recent statement, he argued that the party should put less emphasis on populist movements connected to either Donald Trump or Zohran Mamdani and more on sensible measures that address the economy, affordability, and wages.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>President Trump halted all asylum decisions after the National Guard shooting left one soldier dead and another in critical condition. Trump is done playing around with people who hate America, so he wants to be sure no more get in.</p>
<p>Suspect Rahmanullah Lakanwal faces first-degree murder and two counts of assault with intent to kill while armed.</p>
<p>Lakanwal is an Afghan national who previously worked with a CIA-backed Afghan Army unit during the Afghanistan War. He entered the United States in 2021 through Operation Allies Welcome and applied for asylum during the Biden administration. His asylum was approved this year under the Trump administration, according to #AfghanEvac.</p>
<p>Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, 20, died from the shooting, and Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, 24, remains hospitalized in critical condition. Both served with the <a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/trump-administration-halts-all-asylum-decisions-after-shooting-of-national-guard-members" target="_blank">West Virginia National Guard<span class="wpil-link-icon" title="Link goes to external site." style="margin: 0 0 0 5px;"><svg width="24" height="24" style="height:14px; width:14px; fill:#ffffff; stroke:#ffffff; display:inline-block;" viewBox="0 0 24 24" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g id="wpil-svg-outbound-1-icon-path" transform="matrix(0.046875,0,0,0.046875,0.0234375,0.02343964)">

<p>U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said additional charges may be filed. President Trump called the attack a “terrorist act” and blamed prior policies that allowed Afghans who worked with U.S. forces to enter the country.</p>
<p>Joseph Edlow, director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, announced that asylum decisions are paused while vetting procedures are reviewed. Secretary of State Marco Rubio separately confirmed a halt on visa issuance for all individuals traveling on Afghan passports.</p>
<p>Lakanwal&#8217;s background didn&#8217;t indicate anything out of the usual. He lived with his wife and five children, a family man. As described by his neighbors, he was quiet, looking for employment, something he struggled to attain after he worked as an independent contractor for Amazon Flex.</p>
<p>So what happened and where did it all go wrong?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis might be the equalizer you always wanted, but never knew you needed. DeSantis calls for a special session on congressional redistricting that could balance out the mess made by Gavin Newsom in California.</p>
<p>DeSantis said it relies on a pending U.S. Supreme Court decision involving Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which could influence Florida’s current congressional map. He anticipates the state would be obliged to rewrite its map once the verdict is issued.</p>
<p>DeSantis confirmed that a special session will occur and said he will coordinate with Senate President Albritton on scheduling, but it would likely be in the spring of 2026.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, back in September, House Speaker Danny Perez created a select committee to handle the <a href="https://floridianpress.com/2025/12/desantis-will-call-for-special-legislative-session-on-congressional-redistricting/" target="_blank">redistricting process<span class="wpil-link-icon" title="Link goes to external site." style="margin: 0 0 0 5px;"><svg width="24" height="24" style="height:14px; width:14px; fill:#ffffff; stroke:#ffffff; display:inline-block;" viewBox="0 0 24 24" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g id="wpil-svg-outbound-1-icon-path" transform="matrix(0.046875,0,0,0.046875,0.0234375,0.02343964)">

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This court case might be a lot bigger than meets the eye, as it might shake up elections in the future after what just happened.</p>
<p>The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and four Republican-led states, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, and Ohio, have settled legal disputes about access to federal citizenship data.</p>
<p>In 2023, the states filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration, claiming that DHS had concealed information that they required to confirm the citizenship of specific registered voters.</p>
<p>Under the settlement, the states will be able to run bulk searches of thousands of voters through the federal Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program using names, birthdates and Social Security numbers.</p>
<p>The settlement also allows the states to share driver’s license records with DHS to help update and modernize the SAVE database. DHS and the DOGE recently upgraded SAVE, making it free for election officials, expanding it to allow bulk searches, and enabling verification using common identifiers rather than DHS-issued numbers. The system will return initial citizenship verification results within 48 hours.</p>
<p>This could put an end to some of the voter fraud out there, which is huge for Republicans and probably bad for Democrats.</p>
<p>Voting rights groups have <a href="https://www.cbs42.com/news/national/ap-gop-led-states-settle-lawsuit-against-federal-government-over-checking-citizenship-status-of-voters/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filed lawsuits<span class="wpil-link-icon" title="Link goes to external site." style="margin: 0 0 0 5px;"><svg width="24" height="24" style="height:14px; width:14px; fill:#ffffff; stroke:#ffffff; display:inline-block;" viewBox="0 0 24 24" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g id="wpil-svg-outbound-1-icon-path" transform="matrix(0.046875,0,0,0.046875,0.0234375,0.02343964)">

                        </g></svg></span></a> challenging the expanded SAVE program, arguing it could lead to eligible voters being wrongly removed from voter rolls. This is just their stupid way of trying to protect their fraudulent voters, allegedly.</p>
<p>Trump’s DOJ already requested voter rolls from at least half of U.S. states, raising concerns from Democratic election officials about the potential sharing of that information with DHS.</p>
<p>Any Democrats who have concerns with this are simply lying. There is no reason the White House SHOULDN&#8217;T have this information. They should know that only American citizens are voting and other people are not somehow getting votes in.</p>
<p>Noncitizens are prohibited from voting in federal elections and violations can lead to felony charges and deportation. State reviews have found that noncitizen registration is rare and instances of noncitizens casting ballots are even rarer.  Even if it&#8217;s rare, that could just mean people weren&#8217;t caught yet.</p>
<p>State and local agencies use SAVE to verify the immigration status of applicants for public benefits. As part of the settlement, the four states must sign a memorandum of understanding with DHS within 90 days and establish a new information-sharing agreement, which may entail sending 1,000 randomly selected driver’s license records from each state.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pam Bondi and the DOJ are up the creek without a paddle and they better recover fast, because if James Comey and Letitia James walk free because of mistakes, then Bondi&#8217;s career is over.</p>
<p>A U.S. magistrate court concluded that there is evidence of misconduct in how a federal prosecutor affiliated with President Donald Trump won criminal charges against former FBI Director James Comey.</p>
<p>Magistrate Judge William Fitzpatrick ordered that grand jury materials be turned over to Comey’s defense team, calling the move an “extraordinary remedy” triggered by “unique circumstances” &#8211; aka the DOJ filed it wrong and screwed up big time.</p>
<p>Fitzpatrick found that <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us-judge-orders-doj-turn-over-comey-grand-jury-materials-citing-misconduct-2025-11-17/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lindsey Halligan<span class="wpil-link-icon" title="Link goes to external site." style="margin: 0 0 0 5px;"><svg width="24" height="24" style="height:14px; width:14px; fill:#ffffff; stroke:#ffffff; display:inline-block;" viewBox="0 0 24 24" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g id="wpil-svg-outbound-1-icon-path" transform="matrix(0.046875,0,0,0.046875,0.0234375,0.02343964)">

<p>Halligan worked primarily in real estate law and represented Trump in civil matters. She had no prior experience as a prosecutor. In fact, she wasn&#8217;t even allowed to file this according to other sources. Pam Bondi should&#8217;ve known this.</p>
<p>Comey pleaded not guilty to charges of making false statements and obstructing a congressional investigation. Letitia James is dealing with accusations of mortgage fraud. The DOJ is expected to refile the proper way.</p>
<p>Prosecutors quickly placed the ruling on pause, alleging Judge Fitzpatrick may have misinterpreted important facts. U.S. District Judge Michael Nachmanoff agreed to examine the order and temporarily halted it from taking effect.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy issued a major warning to failed VP candidate Tim Walz and it&#8217;s no joke. Apparently one third of the non-domiciled CDLs were issued illegally in Walz&#8217;s state and that is a major problem!</p>
<p>Duffy said Minnesota has 30 days to come into compliance and revoke the illegally issued non-domiciled CDL&#8217;s or risk losing over $30 million in state funding. That would literally cripple the state, but oh well. Let them suffer! They shouldn&#8217;t be giving out driver licenses illegally. In fact, whomever handed out those illegally issued licenses should face criminal charges.</p>
<p>Duffy posted on X: &#8220;<em>It just keeps getting worse for @GovTimWalz. Just one day after 400 BRAVE employees from @MinnesotaDHS exposed “massive fraud,” @USDOT has discovered that ONE THIRD of non-domiciled CDLs were issued ILLEGALLY in the state. MINNESOTA: You’re on notice. You have 30 days to fix this or lose $30 million in federal funding.</em>&#8221;</p>

<blockquote><p><strong>According to the USDOT, FMCSA’s audit found the state issued non-domiciled CDLs to:</strong></p>
<p>Drivers whose licenses were valid long after their lawful presence in the U.S. expired.<br />
Drivers who were prohibited from holding a non-domiciled commercial CDL.<br />
Drivers without Minnesota first verifying the individual’s lawful presence in the U.S.</p>
<p><strong>To come into compliance, USDOT said Minnesota must take the following corrective measures:</strong></p>
<p>Pause issuance of non-domiciled CDLs.<br />
Identify all unexpired non-domiciled CDLs that fail to comply with FMCSA regulations.<br />
Revoke and reissue all noncompliant non-domiciled CDLs if they comply with the federal requirements.</p>
<p>Conduct a comprehensive internal audit to identify all procedural and programming errors, training and quality assurance problems, insufficient policies and practices, and other issues that have resulted in the issuance of non-domiciled CDLs that did not meet federal rules.</p>
<p>If Minnesota does not come into compliance, USDOT said the state risks losing up to $30.4 million in federal highway funding. The department said this is part of an ongoing effort to crack down on states that have failed to follow the law after “months of deadly crashes caused by illegal foreign drivers.”</p></blockquote>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sen. Mark Kelly knew what he was doing when he participated in the &#8216;Seditious Six&#8217; video including him and five other Democrats. It seems like his TDS is getting in the way of any logical thinking and now he&#8217;s defending drug boats, which is just astronomically stupid.</p>
<p>Kelly also made an admission on the sedition video, saying that they &#8220;were looking forward to trying to head something off at the pass that could’ve been really, really bad.&#8221; If he&#8217;s talking about Trump giving illegal orders, then for the millionth time we must remind everyone that not one single illegal order was ever given.</p>
<p>Trump was within his rights as president or within the scope of the law and Democrats were trying to spark a level of confusion and distrust in the president, in hopes to spark some divide between him and the military. It failed because most Americans saw right through the Democrats allegedly scripted nonsense of a video.</p>
<p>And where are we now? Well, Trump supporters are calling for Mark Kelly to be investigated and busted on sedition charges.</p>
<p>And to distract everyone from sedition videos, Mark Kelly is busy throwing verbal jabs at the Trump administration and deflecting the sedition conversation over to Trump&#8217;s administration blowing up drug boats on the way to poison Americans. It&#8217;s like anything that needs logical thinking and common sense is out the window when it comes to Mark Kelly and the Democrats.</p>
<p>If you have any common sense at all, then you know <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/sen-kelly-slams-trump-calls-investigation-caribbean-strikes/story?id=128013547" target="_blank">blowing up a drug boat<span class="wpil-link-icon" title="Link goes to external site." style="margin: 0 0 0 5px;"><svg width="24" height="24" style="height:14px; width:14px; fill:#ffffff; stroke:#ffffff; display:inline-block;" viewBox="0 0 24 24" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g id="wpil-svg-outbound-1-icon-path" transform="matrix(0.046875,0,0,0.046875,0.0234375,0.02343964)">

<p>Other than that, bombs away. We&#8217;re not going to sit here and act like we feel bad for blowing up drug boats. No. We. Are. Not.</p>
<p>What about all the people who are saved by the drugs never making it to America? Let&#8217;s think of the people the Trump administration is SAVING by blowing up drug boats.</p>
<p>Mark Kelly must be one of those criminal sympathizers now. What happened to him? Wasn&#8217;t he somewhat normal before? Has TDS destroyed Mark Kelly&#8217;s little brain?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>President Donald Trump is cracking down on immigration like crazy right now. He&#8217;s not up there with Obama yet, considering Obama was nicknamed the &#8216;Deporter-In-Chief&#8217; for how many people he kicked out of America, but Trump might be the only one who catches up!</p>
<p>Trump unleashed another furious rant against bad people from some rather uncivilized places and said the following to a handful of reporters: &#8220;Countries like Somalia, that have virtually no government, no military, all they do is go around killing each other, then they come into our country and tell us how to run our country. WE DON&#8217;T WANT THEM.&#8221;</p>
<p>What has Ilhan Omar done for America anyway? And now that people are finally looking into some of the crimes over in Minnesota, it seems like they have quite a problem with Somalians there. For example, the biggest Covid fraud scam was conducted by Somalians.</p>
<p><a href="https://crankers.com/watch/videos/3976/leavitt-exposes-somalian-migrants-fraud-scam-ripping-off-taxpayers/" target="_blank">Karoline Leavitt exposed a major crime</a> involving Somalians ripping off taxpayers for millions.</p>
<p><a href="https://crankers.com/watch/videos/3974/ilhan-omar-vote-harvester-seen-exchanging-200-for-2020-general-election-ballot/" target="_blank">Ilhan Omar is allegedly accused</a> of knowing, or participating in, a vote for pay scheme that OMG and James O&#8217;Keefe are digging into. <a href="https://crankers.com/watch/videos/3969/voter-fraud-case-connects-somali-communities-with-registering-fake-democrat-voters/" target="_blank">Voter fraud</a> is a huge problem here!!</p>
<p>A Somalian restaurant was busted <a href="https://crankers.com/watch/videos/3713/convicted-somalian-restaurant-scammed-12-million/" target="_blank">scamming $12 million in federal child meal payments</a>.</p>
<p>There are lots of other Somalians crimes in Minnesota, too much to start a list, but you can look them up on your own if you like.</p>
<p>And while you&#8217;re here, take a listen to Trump&#8217;s statement to the reporters. He&#8217;s done with the nonsense and really cracking down a lot harder this time as President.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Conservatives have been called conspiracy theorists for saying this out loud, but Stephen Miller just exposed the Democrat&#8217;s plan, specifically the Joe Biden administration, to import millions of illegals into America.</p>
<p>For whatever reason the Democrats wasted money on this, instead of helping Americans, that&#8217;s up for you all to decide.</p>
<p>The worst part of this all is that Trump has to waste time reversing the damage done by the Biden/Harris regime, otherwise their damages may not ever get repaired.</p>
<p>Stephen Miller came out swinging when he said this: “The Democrat Party, via the Biden-Harris Terrorist Administration devised a scheme to import illegal aliens into the country by the millions — granting them ‘parole,’ which gives them work permits, which gives them Social Security numbers, which gives them access to the voting booth — and finally hooking them on welfare like Hunter Biden hooked on drugs, all with the sole purpose of participating in U.S. elections and ultimately overthrowing the Constitutional Republic of the United States.”</p>
<p>When we tried to get a fact check on this, Grok said the following: &#8220;The Biden-Harris administration used parole programs to allow entry for certain migrants, enabling work authorization and SSNs for employment. However, non-citizens, including parolees, are ineligible to vote in federal elections—it&#8217;s illegal, with rare instances documented. No evidence from government data or fact-checks supports a scheme to import voters for elections. Sources: USCIS, PolitiFact, BBC, DHS.&#8221;</p>
<p>While the fact check says it&#8217;s technically illegal for them to vote, one must remember that there are still states that don&#8217;t require voter ID. Those states sometimes go by signature match, so if you can sign a paper like someone else, then you can literally vote for them without ever showing an ID.</p>
<p>This brings us back to the simple fact that anyone who says voter ID is a bad thing, is probably trying to cheat an election &#8211; or they support people who try to cheat elections.</p>
<p>Voter ID should be mandatory in every election, at every level, no matter how small it may seem.</p>
<p>America deserves to have the most secure elections imaginable.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>California State Rep Carl DeMaio shows budget data that exposes Gavin Newsom for spending so much money on illegal immigrant healthcare, that it&#8217;s a massive strain on taxpayers, taking up a huge portion of the deficit. We&#8217;re not even talking millions here. It&#8217;s in the BILLIONS and it&#8217;s wasting taxpayer money like it&#8217;s nothing.</p>
<p>California spends an estimated $8.5 billion annually on healthcare for undocumented immigrants through the Medi-Cal program. This cost has exceeded initial projections, leading to budget shortfalls and recent proposals to freeze new enrollment and introduce cost-sharing for some enrollees.</p>
<p>The total cost has grown from an earlier projection of about $3 billion per year.  The state&#8217;s Medi-Cal program for undocumented immigrants costs about $8.5 billion per year.</p>
<p>This spending is a contributing factor to the state&#8217;s budget deficit, which is estimated to be around $12 billion.</p>
<p>The actual costs have been higher than initially projected, which was estimated at $3 billion annually, due to factors like higher enrollment numbers and increased long-term care benefits.</p>
<p>State Borrowing: The state has had to borrow from its general fund to cover unexpected costs in the Medi-Cal program.</p>
<p>Proposed Changes: In response to budget constraints, Governor <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://crankers.com/tag/gavin-newsom/" title="Gavin Newsom" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked" data-wpil-monitor-id="1597">Gavin Newsom</a> has proposed freezing enrollment for new immigrants and potentially introducing a monthly cost of $100 for some adult enrollees.</p>
<p>In January 2024, California expanded Medi-Cal to cover all income-eligible undocumented immigrants, regardless of age.</p>
<p>A previous expansion, which covered more than 1.1 million undocumented enrollees, cost the state approximately $1.6 billion annually.</p>
<p>The most recent expansion is projected to cost an additional $2.6 billion per year after an initial six-month cost of about $835 million.</p>
<p>California&#8217;s current budget deficit is projected to be around $18 billion for the 2026-27 fiscal year.</p>
<p>This is a multi-year issue, with previous years also facing significant shortfalls, such as a $12 billion deficit in 2025-26 and a much larger $68 billion deficit projected for the 2024-25 fiscal year due to a sharp revenue decline.</p>
<p>The current deficit is driven by factors including spending growth outpacing revenue, a decline in the prior year&#8217;s revenue, and increased costs from federal policy changes.</p>
<p>Key figures and contributing factors:</p>
<ul>
<li>$18 billion: The projected deficit for 2026-27, according to the Legislative Analyst&#8217;s Office (LAO).</li>
<li>$12 billion: The deficit the state addressed for 2025-26.</li>
<li>$68 billion: The estimated deficit for 2024-25, driven by a severe revenue decline in 2022-23.</li>
</ul>
<p>Causes of the deficit:</p>
<ul>
<li>Spending growth: State spending is growing faster than revenues.</li>
<li>Revenue decline: A significant drop in tax collections, particularly in 2022-23, has contributed to the shortfall.</li>
<li>Federal policy changes: New federal health and food assistance programs are increasing state costs.</li>
<li>Past budget assumptions: Earlier budget forecasts did not anticipate the extent of the revenue decline, and some &#8220;phantom money&#8221; was already spent.</li>
</ul>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When Adam Schiff isn’t facing accusations of mortgage fraud or being accused of misleading the public about Republicans, he’s under fire for allegedly pushing a “hoax” that cost taxpayers $32 million.</p>
<p>In June 2023, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to censure him for promoting the idea, as House Intelligence Committee chair, that Donald Trump’s campaign colluded with Russia—a claim later dismissed by federal investigations.</p>
<p>Republicans argue his actions fueled the costly Mueller probe that cost taxpayers $32 million.</p>
<p>Separately, Schiff is being investigated by federal prosecutors in Maryland for alleged mortgage fraud, with claims he listed two properties in different states as his primary residence to get better loan terms and tax breaks.</p>
<p>A Maryland grand jury is considering charges like wire fraud, mail fraud, and making false statements. Schiff denies wrongdoing, calling it a politically motivated “witch hunt,” while the Justice Department also reviews how the probe has been handled.</p>
<p>Anna Paulina-Luna enters into the record the $32 million Adam Schiff indirectly misappropriated:</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jasmine Crockett was confronted by MS NOW about her lies that Republicans took donations from Jeffrey Epstein (the wrong one).</p>
<p>Crockett gave an incoherent minute long response on what she did, suggesting that she didn&#8217;t have time to research the actual facts.</p>
<p>During a House floor debate and subsequent interviews, Representative Jasmine Crockett claimed that several Republican members, including EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, had received political donations from &#8220;somebody named Jeffrey Epstein.&#8221;</p>
<p>However, it quickly emerged that the donor in question was a different person entirely, a Long Island physician/neurosurgeon named Dr. Jeffrey Epstein, not the notorious deceased sex offender.</p>
<p>She basically lied about a GOP member by saying he took donations from a man named Jeffrey Epstein. The Epstein she&#8217;s talking about is some random guy with the same name, not the deceased pervert. But Jasmine Crockett wanted to do something evil here and she should be held accountable for it.</p>
<p>That was a completely different man named Jeffrey Epstein, and Crockett knew this, but she pretended to be stupid and act like she had no idea. This only means Jasmine Crockett is actually dumber than we though, because no one fell for her trick. Not even liberal media fell for it.</p>
<p>And for Jasmine Crockett, she doesn&#8217;t really need to act. She&#8217;s just truly a stupid politician. One look at her massive fake eyelashes can tell you that. It makes her look like she&#8217;s got Forrest Whitaker eye.</p>
<p>When MS Now asked about her Epstein statements, Crockett said: &#8220;I did not have time to actually pull up and actually research.&#8221;</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure she did the research and knew this was a different Jeffrey Epstein, but she wanted to paint a false narrative because she&#8217;s dishonest and does nothing helpful.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Trump administration isn&#8217;t playing around anymore. Trump has ordered a temporary nationwide pause on all asylum decisions following the November 26 shooting of two National Guard soldiers in Washington, D.C.</p>
<p>The alleged gunman, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national who entered the U.S. under humanitarian parole in 2021 and was granted asylum in 2024, is accused of carrying out the “targeted ambush” that left one National Guard member dead and another in critical condition.</p>
<p>According to an internal directive obtained by CBS <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://crankers.com/category/news/" title="News" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked" data-wpil-monitor-id="1598">News</a>, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has been instructed to stop issuing decisions on every pending asylum case. The pause applies to both affirmative asylum cases handled by USCIS and defensive asylum cases handled through the Department of Justice for individuals already in deportation proceedings.</p>
<p>The directive states that:</p>
<p>No asylum application can be approved, denied, or closed until further notice.</p>
<p>All scheduled decision-notification appointments have been canceled.</p>
<p>In-person asylum interviews may continue, but officers are barred from issuing a final determination.</p>
<p>The pause is indefinite and does not include a projected end date.</p>
<p>A senior USCIS official confirmed the authenticity of the internal memo, noting that the agency is undergoing new “screening and vetting procedures” following the D.C. attack.</p>
<p>The pause is part of a broader federal review of immigration screenings. Following the shooting, the administration announced that green-card applications and other immigration benefits for nationals from 19 “countries of concern” will undergo additional scrutiny. <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/national-guard-shooting-dc-us-asylum-decisions-pause/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">These include Afghanistan<span class="wpil-link-icon" title="Link goes to external site." style="margin: 0 0 0 5px;"><svg width="24" height="24" style="height:14px; width:14px; fill:#ffffff; stroke:#ffffff; display:inline-block;" viewBox="0 0 24 24" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g id="wpil-svg-outbound-1-icon-path" transform="matrix(0.046875,0,0,0.046875,0.0234375,0.02343964)">

                        </g></svg></span></a>, Somalia, Yemen, Venezuela, and several Middle Eastern and African nations.</p>
<p>USCIS Director Joseph Edlow said the decision was made “out of an abundance of caution” and that the agency will re-evaluate security-screening systems tied to humanitarian parole and asylum vetting.</p>
<p>The shooting occurred near a Guard perimeter post in Washington, D.C., where two National Guard members were injured. Lakanwal was taken into custody shortly after the attack. Federal agencies, including the FBI, are investigating the incident.</p>
<p>The White House stated that the temporary halt on asylum decisions is intended to prevent security gaps while the administration reviews how individuals are screened before obtaining refugee or asylum protections.</p>
<p>USCIS has not indicated how long the pause will remain in effect. The Department of Homeland Security also has not said whether previously approved asylum cases will undergo additional review.</p>
<p>As the directive stands, tens of thousands of asylum applicants, including individuals in removal proceedings, will see their cases delayed until the review process is completed.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Democrat Senator John Fetterman was once again speaking against his own party, saying they are the worst when it comes to criticism.</p>
<p>Fetterman said fellow Democrats were the ones cheering for his next stroke, wishing ill and harm to him any time he doesn&#8217;t agree with them on something.</p>
<p>Fetterman has been noted as one of the few Democrats who thinks for themselves, using common sense, logic, and standing up for his country before his party. Fetterman constantly talks about the failures of his own Democratic Party, and rightfully so!</p>
<p>Fetterman has sometimes broken with party leadership: notably, in 2025 he voted to end a prolonged government shutdown, a move many Democrats opposed. After that vote, he said his party had “crossed a line.” He framed the shutdown as harmful to ordinary Americans and defended his vote as putting “country over party.”</p>
<p>He has warned against Democrats becoming too detached from working-class or rural voters, especially in more conservative or swing regions. Fetterman argues the party must stay connected to those voters’ concerns, or risk losing electorally.</p>
<p>On issues like crime and public safety, Fetterman has occasionally taken more moderate stances than some progressive Democrats — signaling that he believes Democrats must balance reform with public-safety concerns to stay credible with a broader electorate.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene might have to go full Democrat after she ran to CNN just to complain about the nickname Trump gave her!</p>
<p>The term &#8220;Marjorie Traitor Greene&#8221; refers to a recent political feud between former President Donald Trump and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene. In November 2025, Trump publicly called Greene a &#8220;traitor&#8221; after she championed the release of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, which put her at odds with him and some of his allies. This public conflict ultimately contributed to Greene&#8217;s announcement that she would resign from Congress in January 2026.</p>
<p>Cause of the conflict: The rift began in late 2025 when Greene pushed for the release of files related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, a position that was initially opposed by Trump. She stood with other Republicans who forced a vote on the matter, which eventually led Trump to reverse his position and support the release of the documents.</p>
<p>&#8220;Traitor&#8221; comment: Trump lashed out in social media posts, calling her a &#8220;traitor&#8221; for what he perceived as her political shift. Greene defended her actions, stating that her fight for the victims of Epstein was not a betrayal.</p>
<p>Resignation: The public fallout contributed to Greene&#8217;s decision to resign from Congress, a move that was announced in November 2025 and effective January 2026. She stated that she did not want her district to face a difficult primary election against a candidate endorsed by Trump, and that the feud with the president was a major factor in her departure.</p>
<p>Greene has become a turning point in politics where someone from a party turns against their party and says she&#8217;s the one being honest, fighting against a corrupt machine.</p>
<p>If more politicians leave their party and call out corruption, then what happens next? Does the whole thing come tumbling down?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Liz Cheney is in the political spotlight for doing something totally unethical with Cassidy Hutchinson and her lawyer had NO IDEA it was going on.</p>
<p>A House.gov report on Liz Cheney&#8217;s unethical exchange with Cassidy Hutchinson via leaked text messages:</p>
<p>Committee on House Administration&#8217;s Subcommittee on Oversight Chairman Barry Loudermilk (GA-11) obtained never-before-seen correspondence between January 6 Select Committee Vice-Chair Liz Cheney and Cassidy Hutchinson and in 2022, while Hutchinson was still a subject of the Select Committee’s investigation.  </p>
<p>In the months prior to Hutchinson’s explosive private and public testimony, Cheney communicated with Hutchinson, both directly and through an intermediary—Alyssa Farah Griffin—while Hutchinson was represented by her attorney, Stefan Passantino. The Select Committee conducted six transcribed interviews of Hutchinson in total. Passantino represented Hutchinson for the first three interviews. </p>
<p>Cheney began communicating with Hutchinson in April 2022.</p>
<p>Hutchinson reached out to Farah Griffin following Hutchinson’s second transcribed interview. Farah Griffin and Hutchinson knew each other from their time working together in the White House. Farah Griffin was one of the first former Trump administration officials to publicly criticize Trump in January 2021, and was publicly working with the Select Committee on its investigation.  </p>
<p>When Hutchinson reached out to Farah Griffin, she invited Hutchinson over to her Georgetown townhome to talk on April 26, 2022. That evening, Hutchinson told Farah Griffin she had more information she could provide to the Select Committee, according to statements by both Hutchinson and Farah Griffin. During their conversation, Farah Griffin agreed to “[contact] Liz Cheney on [Hutchinson’s] behalf about scheduling another interview.” Hutchinson’s new testimony would include her never-before-heard story that alleged that President Trump agreed with rioters chanting “Hang Mike Pence.”  </p>
<p>According to text messages, that appear to be from the encrypted messaging app “Signal,” between Hutchinson and Farah Griffin obtained by the Subcommittee, Cheney agreed to communicate with Hutchinson through Farah Griffin.However, it appears that Cheney knew communicating with Hutchinson while Hutchinson was represented by an attorney and a subject of the Select Committee’s investigation, without going through Hutchinson’s attorney, would be unethical. This is evident by Farah Griffin’s text to Hutchinson that Cheney’s “one concern was so long as [sic] you have counsel, she can’t really ethically talk to you without him.?&#8221;</p>
<p>For nearly a month, Farah Griffin acted?as an intermediary between?Cheney and the Select Committee. As an intermediary for Cheney, Farah Griffin helped coordinate Hutchinson’s third transcribed interview—without Hutchinson’s lawyer, Stefan Passantino’s knowledge. During the same time, Farah Griffin and Hutchinson discussed the optics of Hutchinson leaking her “new information” to the press instead of providing it directly to the Select Committee. Hutchinson and Farah Griffin also colluded to create a false story about why Hutchinson needed to do a third transcribed interview for the Select Committee to feed to Passantino. Presumably this was done at Cheney’s direction because it was Cheney herself who led the third transcribed interview with Hutchinson. Cheney knew that Passantino represented Hutchinson leading up to and during this third transcribed interview with the Select Committee on May 17, 2022. </p>
<p>In her May 17, 2022, transcribed interview Hutchinson testified to a series of uncorroborated and unverified stories that conveniently fit the Select Committee’s narrative that President Trump is dangerous and solely responsible for the events of January 6. Despite already testifying to the Select Committee twice, Hutchinson never previously mentioned this “new information.” </p>
<p>After her third transcribed interview Hutchinson reached out to Cheney directly.</p>
<p>While Hutchinson revealed the general timing of these conversations in her book, the extent and content of their communication was never previously disclosed.</p>
<p>When Hutchinson texted Cheney, she was still represented by Passantino which, Cheney knew. Cheney and Hutchinson communicated directly for days without Passantino’s knowledge. Subsequently, Cheney provided Hutchison with new attorneys from Alston and Bird—pro bono. </p>
<p>Days after Cheney began communicating directly with Hutchinson, Hutchinson fired Passantino and hired Cheney’s recommended attorneys, who agreed to represent Hutchinson pro bono. Within a few weeks, Cheney brought Hutchinson in for a secretive fourth transcribed interview. During this fourth transcribed interview, only Cheney and one other Committee counsel were present, in addition to Hutchinson’s new counsel. During this fourth transcribed interview Hutchinson testified to some of her most outlandish new claims.  </p>
<p>The Subcommittee was only able to obtain a limited number of text messages from Hutchinson and Farah Griffin, but Cheney’s influence on Hutchinson is apparent from that point forward by her dramatic change in testimony and eventual claims against President Trump using second- and third-hand accounts. Specifically, Hutchinson claimed that Anthony Ornato told Hutchinson that Trump lunged toward the driver of his car after he was denied his request to go to the Capitol. This story has never been corroborated and was directly refuted by both USSS agents in the vehicle with Trump that day. </p>
<p>In her book, Cheney wrote that it would compromise the Select Committee’s investigation to be seen advising witnesses and suggesting new legal representation. However, Cheney failed to acknowledge in her own book that she herself provided Hutchinson with new attorneys who would represent Hutchinson pro bono&#8230; <a href="https://cha.house.gov/2024/10/new-texts-reveal-liz-cheney-communicated-with-cassidy-hutchinson-about-her-select-committee-testimony-without-hutchinson-s-attorney-s-knowledge-despite-cheney-knowing-it-was-unethical" target="_blank">read the full report here<span class="wpil-link-icon" title="Link goes to external site." style="margin: 0 0 0 5px;"><svg width="24" height="24" style="height:14px; width:14px; fill:#ffffff; stroke:#ffffff; display:inline-block;" viewBox="0 0 24 24" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g id="wpil-svg-outbound-1-icon-path" transform="matrix(0.046875,0,0,0.046875,0.0234375,0.02343964)">

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Trump-hating Ruben Gallego is making headlines again!</p>
<p>Gallego was mocked all over social media for looking like a &#8220;cuck&#8221; and a &#8220;soy boy&#8221; in a video where he was crying about Trump and stuff like that. Now that he&#8217;s speaking out about Trump and his team, Gallego is back in the spotlight for allegedly committing mortgage fraud.</p>
<p>The group ‘Veterans for Arizona’ asked U.S. Secretary of Veterans Affairs Doug Collins why no investigation has been launched into allegations against Democrat Senator Ruben Gallego.</p>
<p>The claims, reported prominently in 2023, accuse Gallego of listing both his Arizona and Washington, D.C., residences as his primary home to secure special VA mortgage rates for veterans.</p>
<p>During his 2024 Senate campaign, Politico reported that Gallego bought a house in D.C. near the Capitol and claimed it as his primary residence on VA loan paperwork, while he and his wife also claimed their Phoenix home as their main residence.</p>
<p>Politico, citing loan documents, noted that <a href="https://azfreenews.com/2025/06/veterans-ask-why-sen-gallego-hasnt-been-investigated-for-mortgage-fraud-allegations/" target="_blank">Gallego’s campaign<span class="wpil-link-icon" title="Link goes to external site." style="margin: 0 0 0 5px;"><svg width="24" height="24" style="height:14px; width:14px; fill:#ffffff; stroke:#ffffff; display:inline-block;" viewBox="0 0 24 24" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g id="wpil-svg-outbound-1-icon-path" transform="matrix(0.046875,0,0,0.046875,0.0234375,0.02343964)">
                            <path d="M 473.563,227.063 407.5,161 262.75,305.75 c -25,25 -49.563,41 -74.5,16 -25,-25 -9,-49.5 16,-74.5 L 349,102.5 283.937,37.406 c -14.188,-14.188 -2,-37.906 19,-37.906 h 170.625 c 20.938,0 37.938,16.969 37.938,37.906 v 170.688 c 0,20.937 -23.687,33.187 -37.937,18.969 z M 63.5,447.5 h 320 V 259.313 l 64,64 V 447.5 c 0,35.375 -28.625,64 -64,64 h -320 c -35.375,0 -64,-28.625 -64,-64 v -320 c 0,-35.344 28.625,-64 64,-64 h 124.188 l 64,64 H 63.5 Z" />
                        </g></svg></span></a> maintained Arizona as his official primary residence per election laws, despite the D.C. paperwork. In June 2023, after these reports surfaced, the National Republican Senate Committee raised concerns that Gallego may have committed fraud by claiming D.C. as his primary residence to get favorable mortgage terms, while still benefiting from Arizona homeowner tax breaks and voting there.</p>
<p>They also pointed out that this came just weeks after AZCentral reported Gallego’s ties to a bank accused of targeting immigrants, which was later shut down. NRSC spokesman Tate Mitchell told the Arizona Republic that if Gallego signed fraudulent documents, it could cause serious problems for him in the election and with authorities, adding that Democrats now face a tough choice between incumbent Kyrsten Sinema and the accused fraudster.</p>
<p>Kari Lake tried raising attention to Gallego&#8217;s alleged crimes, and it was like no one listened.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Secretary of State Antony Blinken basically admits that the evacuation of Afghans and Americans was a disaster.</p>
<p>He did not explicitly state that the U.S. evacuated Afghans first and vetted later, but he acknowledged the evacuation of American citizens and others could have been handled better.</p>
<p>In testimony, Blinken accepted criticism that the execution of the withdrawal was flawed, even while defending the decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan.</p>
<p>Acknowledgement of flaws: Blinken admitted the operation could have been handled better and accepted that both the Trump and Biden administrations had roles in the outcome.</p>
<p>Blinken was so lame that he had the nerve to defend the botched withdrawal. Despite acknowledging execution issues, Blinken defended President Biden&#8217;s decision to withdraw, arguing it was the right choice to end America&#8217;s longest war.</p>
<p>It was such a mess and it makes you wonder how many of the barely vetted people could&#8217;ve ended up breaking laws.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nicole Shanahan, an attorney, entrepreneur, and former wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin, has recently drawn attention for comments she made during an appearance on The Glenn Beck Program, where she described what she calls a “tech mafia” influencing Silicon Valley’s culture and power structure. Her remarks have sparked conversation online, but they remain unverified claims, as no independent reporting or legal documentation confirms the existence of such an organized group.</p>
<p>What Nicole Shanahan Claims</p>
<p>In her interview, Shanahan suggested that a coordinated network of powerful individuals in the tech world operates with mafia-like behavior, not in the literal criminal sense, but in terms of influence, pressure, and control. According to her, this “tech mafia” is not a formal organization but a tight-knit group of wealthy insiders who allegedly protect one another, shape narratives, and create an environment where alternative voices or internal dissent are discouraged.</p>
<p>She described this network as having outsized influence over media, philanthropy, research institutions, and the technology sector itself. Shanahan claimed that when insiders step out of line or challenge the prevailing culture, they face professional retaliation, public shaming, or loss of access to key networks.</p>
<p>These statements reflect her personal interpretation of the dynamics she says she witnessed during her time connected to high-level Silicon Valley circles. However, she did not provide documents, names, or specific incidents that could be independently verified.</p>
<p>Her Comments About Silicon Valley Culture</p>
<p>Shanahan’s broader point focused on what she characterized as a toxic, insular culture within major tech companies and their adjacent networks. She argued that a <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/shows/the-glenn-beck-program/nicole-shanahan-tech-mafia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">small group of decision-makers<span class="wpil-link-icon" title="Link goes to external site." style="margin: 0 0 0 5px;"><svg width="24" height="24" style="height:14px; width:14px; fill:#ffffff; stroke:#ffffff; display:inline-block;" viewBox="0 0 24 24" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g id="wpil-svg-outbound-1-icon-path" transform="matrix(0.046875,0,0,0.046875,0.0234375,0.02343964)">

<p>She also suggested that this atmosphere leads to group-think and suppresses dissenting viewpoints, whether they relate to technology policy, social issues, or internal corporate practices. Shanahan framed her remarks as a warning about the centralization of power and the potential for manipulation within elite circles that are largely shielded from public scrutiny.</p>
<p>What Is Verified (and What Isn’t)</p>
<p>As of now, Shanahan’s statements remain claims, not confirmed facts.</p>
<p>Here’s what is verifiable:</p>
<p>Shanahan did make these statements during her interview.</p>
<p>She spoke from personal experience and framed the issue as a cultural critique rather than a criminal accusation.</p>
<p>There are no court records, lawsuits, investigative reports, or official findings that confirm the existence of an organized “tech mafia.”</p>
<p>No mainstream journalistic outlets have corroborated her allegations.</p>
<p>Because of this, her remarks fall into the category of personal testimony or perspective, not established fact. They may reflect real frustrations or observations from her time in Silicon Valley, but they are not substantiated by evidence currently available to the public.</p>
<p>Why Her Comments Are Gaining Attention</p>
<p>Part of the reason Shanahan’s claims are drawing attention is because they come from someone who was once closely connected to one of the most powerful families in tech. Her high-profile personal history, especially her marriage to Sergey Brin, adds weight to her perspective, even if the claims themselves remain unverified.</p>
<p>Additionally, her remarks tap into longstanding criticism of Silicon Valley, including concerns about:</p>
<p>concentrated power</p>
<p>political influence</p>
<p>lack of transparency</p>
<p>internal retaliation or “blacklisting”</p>
<p>group-think in tech and academia</p>
<p>Whether Shanahan’s comments spark further investigation or public scrutiny remains to be seen. For now, they stand as her interpretation of Silicon Valley’s culture, rather than a documented revelation of wrongdoing.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>President Donald Trump was obviously fed up after the two National Guardsmen were shot, with one passing away and another resting in critical condition.</p>
<p>Trump lashed out about the incident, which could&#8217;ve been sparked from all the Democrat rhetoric and seditious behavior, and he didn&#8217;t hold back with his words. Because that&#8217;s how Trump is &#8211; he said what should be said.</p>
<p>Trump targeted Tim Walz and <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://crankers.com/tag/ilhan-omar/" title="Ilhan Omar" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked" data-wpil-monitor-id="1601">Ilhan Omar</a>, both complete political failures who are bad for their city/state, with a scathing message online: “<em>The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both, while the worst ‘Congressman/woman’ in our Country, Ilhan Omar, always wrapped in her swaddling hijab, and who probably came into the U.S.A. illegally in that you are not allowed to marry your brother, does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country, its Constitution, and how ‘badly’ she is treated, when her place of origin is a decadent, backward, and crime ridden nation, which is essentially not even a country for lack of Government, Military, Police, schools, etc,</em>”</p>
<p>Trump wasn&#8217;t done! He kept going with more and targeted Joe Biden in this one: “<em>Even as we have progressed technologically, Immigration Policy has eroded those gains and living conditions for many. I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover, terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions, including those signed by Sleepy Joe Biden’s Autopen, and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country, end all Federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens of our Country, denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>And here is the part where President <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://crankers.com/tag/donald-trump/" title="Donald Trump" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked" data-wpil-monitor-id="1600">Donald Trump</a> promised reverse migration to remove the bad people from the country. Trump said: “<em>These goals will be pursued with the aim of achieving a major reduction in illegal and disruptive populations, including those admitted through an unauthorized and illegal Autopen approval process. Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation. Other than that, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, except those that hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for — You won’t be here for long!</em>”</p>
<p>If there&#8217;s one thing we know, it&#8217;s that Trump is on a mission to make things a lot better in America, but there will definitely be pushback from the anti-American Democrats who so clearly hate this country and everything it stands for.</p>
<p>With all the money some Democrats have from their alleged inside trading, you&#8217;d think they would spend a few bucks on plane tickets and just get out of here.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s really stopping the rich politicians like Nancy Pelosi from leaving the country?</p>
<p>Just go, get out, we don&#8217;t need you here!</p>
