Seven Primaries That Could Tear Democrats Apart In 2026

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

With the 2026 midterms fast approaching, seven intense Democratic primary contests are taking shape across the country and highlighting divisions regarding the future of the party.

As Democrats look to reclaim control of Congress after Republican gains in 2024, several key battles could play a decisive role in determining the party’s chances at earning a majority in either chamber.

In California, the race to replace Governor Gavin Newsom is heating up, with a matchup between former Democratic Rep. Katie Porter and current Rep. Eric Swalwell taking center stage.

Porter opted not to seek reelection to her House seat in 2024, instead running for Dianne Feinstein’s open U.S. Senate seat. She finished third behind Democrat Adam Schiff and Republican candidate and former professional baseball player Steve Garvey. She is now mounting a statewide comeback with a bid for governor.

A series of videos showed Porter lashing out at a reporter during an interview and berating a staff member, opening the door for another Democrat to enter the race. California Rep. Eric Swalwell stepped into the breach in November, positioning himself as the candidate that will be a “fighter and protector.”

The two, however, risk splitting the Democratic vote, as California uses a top-two open primary system. All candidates appear on the same ballot and the two highest vote-getters advance to the general election, regardless of party. A recent poll showed how the intra-party fight between Porter and Swalwell is benefiting Republican candidates.

An Emerson College poll from December shows two Republican gubernatorial candidates, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco and former Fox News host Steve Hilton, in a virtual three-way tie with Swalwell. It’s possible that if Democratic support doesn’t coalesce around either Porter or Swalwell, voters in the deep blue state could be choosing between two Republicans in the general.

Just north of Sacramento, another competitive race is emerging to fill Democratic California Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s congressional seat, after she announced she will not seek reelection ahead of the 2026 midterms. Pelosi has represented the San Francisco area for 20 terms and has served twice as Speaker of the House.

Pelosi served as a key foil to the Democratic ‘Squad’ while serving as speaker, and her exit opens the door for the far left of the party to consolidate more power. Neither candidate vying to replace her carries the experience of a longtime political tactician like Pelosi, and both boast far more progressive policy platforms.

California State Senator Scott Wiener, who has represented much of San Francisco in the state Senate since 2016, has announced his candidacy for the 11th congressional district.

Wiener previously authored a 2019 bill aimed at reducing certain sex offender registry requirements in the state, calling the existing policy “blatant discrimination against LGBT young people regarding California’s sex offender registry.”

Wiener initially said he would not challenge the former speaker for her seat, yet he announced a campaign shortly before Pelosi revealed she would be retiring. He explained that the move was necessary after Saikat Chakrabarti — former chief of staff to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and co-founder of Justice Democrats — launched a self-funded bid for the seat, reshaping the primary dynamics, according to a CNN report.

Chakrabarti had announced his challenge to Pelosi earlier in 2025, campaigning on a progressive platform that includes Medicare-for-All, affordable housing, and higher taxes on billionaires.

The former chief of staff had previously helped orchestrate Ocasio-Cortez’s 2018 upset victory, played a key role in drafting and promoting the Green New Deal, and worked on Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign — experience he now highlights as central to his political credentials.

On the East Coast in Maine, a heated Democratic Senate primary is underway between establishment party candidate and current Maine governor Janet Mills, who has the backing of the Democratic political machine, and “working-class” candidate Graham Platner. Both are aiming to unseat current incumbent Republican Maine Sen. Susan Collins.

Mills, if elected, would be one of the oldest freshman senators at 77 years old, and is currently under fire for supporting taxpayer-funded health care for illegal immigrants and defying President Donald Trump’s executive order to prohibit men from competing in women’s sports.

Platner, a political first-timer who has become a progressive darling, is angling his campaign around Democratic populist policies like Medicare-for-All, labor protections, climate action, and anti-corruption reforms.

He’s been drawing large crowds, even as he faces controversies over past social media posts and a tattoo that resembled a Nazi symbol which he had covered up.

In Maine, another significant race is unfolding in the state’s 2nd Congressional District following Rep. Jared Golden’s surprise announcement that he will not seek reelection.

Before Golden bowed out on Nov. 5, State Auditor and former Secretary of State Matt Dunlap had already launched a primary challenge on Oct. 6, criticizing Golden’s moderate record and his frequent alignment with Republicans. It marked the first primary challenge Golden had faced since 2018. 

Prior to ending his campaign, Golden released polling indicating that he had the best shot at holding the seat for Democrats — and his exit suggests Democrats will have to dump a lot more money into the race than anticipated.

In that poll, Dunlap was trailing former Republican Maine Governor Paul LePage by 10 points, according to a NOTUS report.

Dunlap is not the only Democrat trying to replace Golden. Jordan Wood, a former chief of staff to Katie Porter and vice president at End Citizens United, initially launched a campaign for Collins’s Senate seat, but shifted to the race for the 2nd Congressional District on Nov. 12 shortly after Golden announced he would not seek reelection.

He comes to the race with Washington experience and is significantly younger than the 61-year-old Dunlap.

The first-time candidate has centered his campaign on economic issues affecting working families and already has a $1 million war chest from his Senate campaign.

Down in the Longhorn state, Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett announced her run for Republican Sen. John Cornyn’s seat in the final hours of the filing period. Her entry into the Democratic primary roiled the party, with former Rep. Colin Allred suspending his campaign and opting to run for a North Texas congressional seat against an incumbent Democrat.

Crockett will go up against State Rep. James Talarico, a former middle school teacher and Presbyterian seminarian.

Talarico’s campaign platform is based on his fight as a state representative leading the “fight against the billionaire mega-donors and puppet politicians.” He says he is now running to fight against “corruption” in Washington and “win back power for working people,” according to his campaign website.

Crockett’s entry into the race threatens to take a potentially competitive state off the table for Democrats. She has expressed that she has no intention of trying to win over Trump supporters and is running on an unabashedly progressive platform, compared to Talarico’s left-populist agenda. Yet her loyal left-wing base makes her a strong contender to win the primary.

In fact, Crockett is seen as so toxic that Republicans reportedly goaded her to run so they could better protect the seat.

The National Republican Senate Committee (NRSC) began testing Crockett’s name in internal polling in July, as first reported by the Daily Caller News Foundation. The results showed her leading a hypothetical Democratic primary. In the months that followed, the NRSC quietly encouraged Crockett to enter the race, a push that ultimately led her to join the Senate Democratic primary at the last minute.

GOP insiders believe either the incumbent Cornyn or Attorney General Ken Paxton would breeze to victory against Crockett, allowing them to save valuable resources for other races throughout the country.

In Massachusetts, Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton, is making generational change the centerpiece of his campaign against incumbent Sen. Ed Markey. Moulton argues that Democrats need new leadership after the 79-year-old senator’s nearly half-century in Congress — Markey would be 86 at the end of another term if reelected.

Moulton, a 47-year-old former Marine, previously beat incumbent Rep. John Tierney in 2014 and voted to block Democrat California Rep. Nancy Pelosi from becoming speaker of the House in 2018, according to a Politico report.

Moulton has faced backlash in his overwhelmingly blue state for tacking to the center. He suggested that his party’s recent electoral setbacks were tied to its stance on allowing transgender girls to compete in girls’ sports, according to a New York Times report.

His comments prompted his campaign manager to resign, drew a public rebuke from the state’s Democratic governor, and even led a Tufts University political science chair to threaten to stop sending students to intern in his office.

Markey — often viewed as more progressive than the moderate, reform-minded Moulton — has indirectly rejected claims he is too old to run for reelection, highlighting his alleged energy, fresh ideas, and commitment during crises like the government shutdown.

Following mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s victory in New York City, Democrats are now turning their attention to holding the governor’s office in the Empire State.

Incumbent Democrat New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, who previously served as lieutenant governor under former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and assumed the governorship in August 2021 following his resignation, is running to maintain her residency in Albany.

She made a late appearance alongside Mamdani in his mayoral campaign, publicly throwing her support behind him and pointedly snubbing Cuomo, who had launched an independent bid after losing the primary to Mamdani.

Hochul is facing a primary challenge from her own lieutenant governor, Antonio Delgado, who launched his bid in an effort to unseat Hochul in June.

Delgado spent three years in the U.S. House before Hochul tapped him in 2022 to serve as lieutenant governor, making him the first Latino to hold statewide office in New York.

In a video previewing his announcement, he appears speaking to New Yorkers across the city while calling for “universal health care,” “universal pre-K,” and pledging to fight “the Trump administration’s attacks” on deep-blue New York.

Although Hochul and Delgado began their tenure on good terms and were elected to full terms together, their relationship has cooled as they diverged on key issues, even as the Democratic Governors Association (DGA) has signaled its full support for Hochul heading into the 2026 primary.

Delgado’s public divergences with Hochul began to surface most clearly when he urged President Joe Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race. After the election, he reinforced that message in a New York Times op-ed calling for the Democratic Party to change direction, concluding with the line: “A new path is both necessary and possible, but we will not chart it with the same politicians telling the same old stories. We are ready for the next generation.”

He later deepened the divide by calling for New York City Mayor Eric Adams to resign, even as Hochul adopted a more measured approach. The split over Adams prompted spokesperson Avi Small Hogrebe to issue a statement underscoring that “Lieutenant Governor Delgado does not now and has not ever spoken on behalf of this administration.”

These tensions — driven by disagreements over party loyalty, political strategy, and generational change — ultimately led Hochul to remove most of Delgado’s staff and resources, underscoring the widening rift between them, according to a Politico report.

Over the past year, Delgado has gone from a somewhat reluctant lieutenant governor to a political outcast who is no longer on speaking terms with Hochul.

Polls show the Republican frontrunner, Rep. Elise Stefanik, performing slightly better against Delgado, though neither matchup appears to be particularly competitive.

Recent special election and off-year victories for Democrats have the party convinced they’re looking at a blue wave in the 2026 midterms. Even if they are able to regain the majority in Congress, the tense fight between progressives and moderates and younger and older candidates threatens to severely bruise the Democrats in the process.

How Republicans Tricked Jasmine Crockett Into Running For Senate

/in , , , , , , , /by

Republicans’ plan to push their preferred candidate, Democrat Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett, into running for senate has apparently worked.

The National Republican Senate Committee (NRSC) began including Crockett’s name in polling in July, the Daily Caller News Foundation first reported, and it showed her leading in a hypothetical Democratic primary race. Since then, the NRSC has been working behind the scenes to get Crockett to jump into the Senate Democratic primary, according to a Tuesday NOTUS report.

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

Crockett was considered the GOP’s “easiest opponent to beat” for incumbent Republican Sen. John Cornyn, who is seeking reelection while facing a contested primary against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Republican Rep. Wesley Hunt, according to NOTUS.

The source familiar also told NOTUS that phone calls and text messages were sent out to high-propensity voters and Democrats in Texas, imploring them to advocate for Crockett to enter the race.

“That was really a sustained effort that we orchestrated across the ecosystem for several months,” the source told the outlet. “Not only was it getting positive news coverage, but her office was directly having traffic driven to it in terms of phone calls urging her to run.”

When the Daily Caller asked about the NRSC report and its polling, the committee’s Communications Director, Joanna Rodriguez, pointed to Crockett’s own remarks on Democrats’ chances against John Cornyn.

“Crockett said herself no Texas Democrat is beating John Cornyn, and the threat of her in the U.S. Senate makes it clearer now than ever that Cornyn is the only conservative who will keep Texas red and safeguard President Trump’s Senate Majority,” Rodriguez said.

Her statement was referencing Crockett’s comments on Politico’s podcast, “The Conversation,” hosted by Dasha Burns on Oct. 30.

On the podcast, Crockett discussed her potential Senate bid against Cornyn stating, “I’m going to be flat out with you and tell you that I don’t think that there’s a Democrat that can take out Cornyn.”

She added that her decision to run would depend on internal polling showing viability in the general election, not just the Democratic primary, emphasizing, “For me, I would be making a very last-minute decision because it’s not just about winning the primary. You gotta win the general.”

Texas state Rep. James Talarico is also running for the Senate position, and former Democratic Rep. Colin Allred suspended his campaign against Cornyn hours before Crockett launched her candidacy, citing a desire to avoid a divisive primary that could hurt the Democratic nominee.

Following his withdrawal, Allred declared he would instead run in the Democratic primary for Texas’ 33rd Congressional District. His decision has heightened tensions, with many Democrats now rallying behind Rep. Julie Johnson, who currently represents the 32nd District but is aiming for the 33rd after redistricting.

Crockett’s entry into the Senate race has sparked renewed discussions among Democrats about their prospects of regaining the Senate in 2026, while also raising questions about whether party members should challenge her candidacy.

Her first campaign ad shows Crockett staring into the camera, with a voice-over of President Donald Trump calling her a “low IQ person” and mocking her prominence within the Democratic Party.

The Caller reached out to Crockett’s office for comment but did not receive a response prior to publication.

The Maritime Drug Law Enforcement Act Authorizes the Sinking of Drug Boats

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Even Chuck Schumer voted “Yes” for the Maritime Drug Law Enforcement Act of 1986 authorizing the military to fire on drug smuggling boats. The House approved it 392-16 and Senate approved it 97-2.

The Maritime Drug Law Enforcement Act (MDLEA), implemented in 1986 by the United States, is a piece of legislation combatting the illegal drug trade. The MDLEA establishes that it is illegal for anyone on board a vessel belonging to the United States or within their jurisdiction to deliberately produce or disseminate psychotropic substances. The Act is notable for its extraterritorial jurisdiction and its lack of nexus requirement. The Act provides that the United States jurisdiction reaches any vessel “registered in a foreign nation where the flag nation has consented or waived objection to the enforcement of the United States law by the United States.”

In recent years the MDLEA has been met with controversy as it permits the military the authority to reach and imprison drug traffickers or stop them by any means who are operating over international waters and foreign citizens who are not located on board the watercraft but operating overseas or as a conspirator.

FLORIDA GOP: Snatching Defeat from the Jaws of Victory

/in , , , , , , /by

This letter was sent to Evan Power Chair of the RPOF (Republican Party of Florida). Today I updated it to include the MAJOR LOSS of Miami where only 39,000 people voted. I have not received an answer.

Please share it and resend.

Dear Evan:

Over the last couple of weeks I have been receiving emails and texts from my listeners all saying the same thing – “Where is the GOP – Are they really MAGA?” In this time of turmoil, I wanted you to see what the people think. The following is a combination of their thoughts and concerns along with mine. Now since we have lost Miami largely due to GOP policy, I wonder if the GOP actually wants to win.

My listeners are getting more and more concerned that the GOP is more interested with fighting MAGA and Trump than winning elections? Because of the GOP’s lack of interest and poor messaging the GOP gave MIAMI, New York City, New Jersey and Virginia to the communists. Is the GOP more afraid of being called racist than they are of running a decent campaign. It appears that the only thing the GOP excels at is snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Is the RPOF is using our donations to purge RECs rather than have a good “get out the vote” campaign? This is the fastest way to lose an election. Registering people to vote doesn’t mean they will vote. 600,000 MAGA stayed home because the GOP didn’t give them a good reason to vote. What would happen if they stayed home next year in Florida? This would chip away from the Republican lead. You MUST give the people a reason to vote. There are more Trump and MAGA supporters than Republicans. Trashing them will lose elections regardless of your registration numbers. Eliminating other points of view makes it impossible to see the needs and concerns of your voters.

My listeners have voiced their opinion on the following, Is the RPOF:

  1. Wasting time fighting grassroots, MAGA, Manatee Co, Committeeman of VOLUSIA County REC, Florida Republican Assembly, to name a few
  2. Directing all REC to not host the Reclaim Campaign, which would improve election integrity
  3. Supporting overly expensive, inefficient Green energy programs and subsidies resulting in excessive rate hikes for users/voters.
  4. Supporting sky high insurance rates and legislation favoring Insurance companies over the people,. increasing the cost of housing reducing affordability.

My listeners really want to know “Whose side is the RPOF on???” Many feel like they are wasting their time and money with the RPOF. I have encouraged them to contact you directly.

Once again, who is the RPOF working for? Our GOP legislators this year have voted for bills and programs that actually harm their constituents. Why would people vote for a party that does them harm?.

Some examples they mentioned are:

  1. Farm Bill giving Agricultural tax designation to utilities putting up destructive, expensive, inefficient solar farms and raising electric rates.
  2. Live Local Act and, SB 180, gives developers authority over local governments to rezone and create high density housing with the potential to reduce homeownership.
  3. HB 479 takes local control of water (quantity, quality and pollution) out of the hands of local county elected officials and puts it in the hands of unelected regional councils.
  4. Voting against HB359 – hand counting ballots Why would the RPOF want to reduce election integrityWhere is the student outreach program? Ignoring the college students will create a void which will be filled by Islamists. like CAIR Florida and other anti-American groups like DSA (Democrat Socialist Association). These people don’t play. They are the real enemy with one goal: Divide and conquer. By going after MAGA and other grassroots, you are playing into their hands. Again 600,000 MAGA did not vote in NYC, VA and NJ. What happens if the same is done in Florida? Just think of the city Miami.
  5. In their own words see how the Islamists and communists intend to take over the Florida Panhandle and fill the Florida House and Senate with Islamist Representatives and senators.

GOP Launches Rival Healthcare Plan As Obamacare Showdown Hits Senate Floor

/in , , , , , , , , , , /by

Senate Republican leadership announced Tuesday that they will bring their own healthcare proposal to a floor vote, running in parallel with Democrats’ push for an extension of the enhanced Obamacare subsidies.

The Senate is scheduled to vote Thursday on a Democrat proposal for a three-year extension of the boosted subsidies, which Democrats secured as part of the deal that ended the record-breaking government shutdown. Following internal debate over several Republican healthcare proposals and whether to schedule a side-by-side vote, GOP senators have coalesced around a health savings account-based approach.

“It actually does make health insurance premiums more affordable,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters at a news conference Tuesday. “It delivers the benefit directly to the patient, not to the insurance company, and it does it in a way that actually saves money to the taxpayer. That is a win-win proposal.”

The Health Care Freedom for Patients Act— sponsored by Sens. Bill Cassidy, chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee, and Mike Crapo, chair of the Senate Finance Committee — is pitched as an “alternative to Democrats’ temporary COVID bonuses, which send billions of tax dollars to giant insurance companies without lowering insurance premiums.”

Under the plan, roughly $1,000 to $1,500 would be deposited into HSAs paired with bronze or catastrophic plans on the Affordable Care Act (ACA) exchanges.

The idea of redirecting federal subsidies from insurance companies directly to individuals has the backing of President Donald Trump, who has warned that extending the boosted Obamacare subsidies would hand insurers “another huge payday at the expense of the American people.”

Democrats, meanwhile, are pressing ahead with their three-year extension of the soon-to-expire subsidies, despite the near certainty that the measure lacks the 60 votes needed to pass.

The enhanced subsidies — enacted by Democrats in 2021 without GOP support — removed the upper-income cap and increased subsidy amounts, dropping premiums to zero for many enrollees. They are set to expire at the end of 2025.

A clean three-year extension with no eligibility changes would add $350 billion to the national debt over the next decade, the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates.

Republicans argue that Democrats’ plan, which goes even further than the one-year extension Democrats demanded during the shutdown, is primarily a political maneuver.

“I am absolutely open to a pathway forward, but what we’re seeing from Democrats is completely disingenuous,” Republican Sen. Katie Britt of Alabama told the Daily Caller News Foundation Tuesday. “They know that a flat three-year extension will not pass, so they’re intentionally putting something on the floor for politics, not for the people they serve.”

Concerns about fraud are also fueling GOP resistance to the extension of the enhanced Obamacare subsidies.

Research has shown that fraud is especially widespread among zero-premium plans, which critics say create opportunities for bad actors to enroll unsuspecting individuals without their knowledge. Moreover, the Government Accountability Office recently uncovered rampant fraud and systemic failures in the ACA marketplace, including fictitious identities, invalid Social Security numbers, and even deceased individuals being frequently approved for taxpayer-funded subsidies.

“This program desperately needs to be reformed, the Democrats have decided, ‘We’re not going to do anything to reform it,’ and so we’ll see where the votes are on Thursday,” Thune said

Republicans also point to rising costs, noting that Obamacare premiums have increased twice as fast as employer-based premiums — evidence, they say, that the program is not delivering on promises of affordability.

“Money should go directly to patients so they can make their own decisions, and that will drive down costs,” said Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso of Wyoming, adding that taxpayers should not be “held hostage in the straitjacket of the one-size-fits-all that is Obamacare.”

However, Senate Democratic leadership has already dismissed the GOP plan.

“Their phony proposal is dead on arrival,” said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. “Their bill is junk insurance; it’s been repudiated in the past. The American people will repudiate it once again.”

Democrat Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut said Tuesday that Republicans are “forcing a false choice on the American people.”

Even within the GOP, some are doubtful that the proposal has the votes to advance.

“In my opinion, trying to take the longer view — and also being as objective as I can — I think the only way that there will be a bill put together reforming the Obamacare exchanges is through the reconciliation bill,” Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana told reporters shortly before the GOP announcement.

Although Republican leadership selected Cassidy’s proposal for a vote on Thursday, others — including Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Bernie Moreno of Ohio — have introduced a two-year extension with income restrictions and minimum premium payments.

“I think we need to do everything we can to bring down the cost of premiums, so I’m happy to take a vote on any of these plans,” Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri said Tuesday, adding he is inclined to vote yes on all of them. Hawley has also introduced a bill to allow taxpayers to deduct out-of-pocket medical expenses up to $25,000 per individual or dependent.

In the House, Speaker Mike Johnson said that Republicans will vote on a healthcare proposal by the end of December and continue working on healthcare legislation into early 2026, according to Punchbowl News.

Who Is Behind the Chavista Propaganda in a Corner of New York?

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

“U.S. hands off Venezuela,” “No blood for oil,” “No U.S. war on Venezuela.” These are the messages constantly displayed on two 3D LED screens on a New York street corner.

They refer to the operation that the Southern Command has been conducting for several weeks off the coast of Venezuela against the Cartel of the Suns, an organization declared a terrorist group by the Trump administration and which has infiltrated the highest ranks of the Chavista regime.

Since Hugo Chávez rose to power through the ballot box in 1998, Cuba effectively took control of Venezuelan institutions of power, such as the military. The oil-rich South American country became a kind of colony of Havana, which plundered and continues to plunder Caracas’s resources at ridiculous prices.

Once in power, Fidel Castro pushed Chávez to join the São Paulo Forum, a political organization founded by Luiz Inácio “Lula” da Silva and Castro in 1990 and used it to finance the rise of leftist parties and movements in Latin America.

Now, even in the decline of Chavismo, Havana has been supporting Venezuela by sending military counterintelligence personnel to reinforce the security of the current dictator Nicolás Maduro and helping to evacuate personnel from the Venezuelan embassy in Spain.

And it is even doing so now on U.S. territory. As former Chavista general Hugo Carvajal confessed a few days ago, Havana has been among the operators with spies infiltrated in American institutions, who have laundered money in Miami, New York, and Texas, and who coordinate operations to influence strategic decisions in Washington.

How? One way we have known about for some time is through activists or proxy groups that it trains and that its diplomats support, such as Calla Walsh, co-founder of Unity of Fields, formerly known as Palestine Action US, the Armed Queers of Salt Lake City (suspected of being linked to the murder of Charlie Kirk), or the Democratic Socialists of America, which sent a delegation to Venezuela and affirmed Nicolás Maduro’s electoral fraud a year ago.

These organizations always find a way to interconnect their agendas and actions, in tributes to Fidel Castro alongside Ernesto Soberon Guzman, Permanent Representative of Cuba to the United Nations, or representatives of The People’s Forum.

This latter group is behind the creation and the financing of the messages on two LED screens in New York that call for an end to counter-narcotics operations off the coast of Venezuela.

According to the Cuban Observatory of Cultural Rights, The People’s Forum “works closely with socialist and radical left-wing individuals and organizations, with whom it promotes and organizes various political, economic, and social activism projects. With a budget of $15,026,419 (2019), it offers platforms and organizational structures to groups and movements that align with the Forum’s ‘values ??and mission’ and that do not promote ‘capitalism/imperialism.’ (…) However, one of the Forum’s strongest activist lines is the promotion of autocracies such as China, Iran, and Russia.”

As if that weren’t enough, Cuba spent years training the organizers behind the anti-Israel protests on university campuses, including the leader of The People’s Forum, Manolo De Los Santos, who visited Cuba as early as 2009.

De Los Santos does not hide his long-standing connection with Havana. In 2023, he posted on X that he had spent 10 days in Cuba “learning with its people & President Miguel Diaz-Canel.”

The radical activist, an avowed admirer of the Cuban Revolution, is now determined to try to modify public opinion regarding the Cartel of the Suns by paying for propaganda in the heart of the United States.

Havana spares no effort in empowering its venomous standard-bearers within American society, especially to influence the minds of young people. How long will it take for federal authorities to react to this?

Sanctuary State Illinois Releases Nearly 1,800 Violent Illegal Immigrants

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Since the beginning of President Donald Trump’s second term to present day, Illinois’s sanctuary state policies have led to the release of nearly 1,800 illegal immigrants. Their crimes, however, are not limited to illegally crossing the border, but also include charges of murder, assault, burglary, robbery, and sex crimes.

This data was released by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Acting Director Todd Lyons on Monday. According to a press release from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Illinois officials have already failed “to honor ICE detainers,” which has “resulted in the release of 1,768 criminal illegal aliens since January 20.” The crimes of these convicted immigrants, many of whom are now roaming free within the state (or elsewhere), include the following: five charges of homicide, 141 charges of assault, 23 charges of burglary, four charges of robbery, 24 charges of dangerous drugs offenses, 15 charges of weapons offenses, and 10 charges of sexual predatory offenses.

As the DHS went on to highlight, “There are currently 4,015 aliens in the custody of an Illinois jurisdiction with an active detainer. The crimes of these aliens include 51 homicides, 1,134 assaults, 107 burglaries, 36 robberies, 275 dangerous drugs offenses, 120 weapons offenses, and 813 sexual predatory offenses.” Some egregious cases, as emphasized by the DHS, of illegal immigrants released by Governor Pritzker and other state sanctuary politicians, include:

  • Victor Manuel Mendoza-Garcia — “arrested and convicted for 3 counts of aggravated kidnapping/ransom and sentenced to 18 years in [the] Illinois Department of Corrections in Cook County Court in Illinois. ICE’s detainer for Mendoza-Garcia was not honored. On November 12, ICE arrested Mendoza-Garcia where he remains in ICE custody.”
  • Juan Alberto Caro Marin — arrested and convicted of aggravated criminal sexual abuse/victim/family and sentenced to six years in [the] Illinois Department of Corrections. ICE’s detainer for Caro Marin was not honored. On November 9, ICE arrested Caro Marin where he is currently in ICE custody.
  • Amilcar Waldo Gonzalez-Jimenez — “arrested and convicted for 1 count of driving under the influence and domestic battery and 2 counts of criminal sexual assault. ICE’s detainer for Gonzalez-Jimenez was not honored. On November 13, ICE arrested Gonzalez-Jimenez.”
  • Jose Manuel Fuentes-Vargas — “arrested for domestic battery, violation of protection order, and convicted of sexual assault of a victim less than 13 years of age. ICE’s detainer for Fuentes-Vargas was not honored. On October 30, ICE arrested Fuentes-Vargas where he is currently in ICE custody.”

Several other examples put forth by the department included criminals who targeted children. Notably, Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul (D) received a letter from ICE in September. The agency requested state officials cooperate with ICE efforts to detain illegals, but Raoul’s office never responded.

As part of the newly released data, Assistant Secretary of the DHS Tricia McLaughlin asserted that “Governor Pritzker and his fellow Illinois sanctuary politicians are releasing murderers, pedophiles, and kidnappers back into our neighborhoods and putting American lives at risk.” She called “on Governor Pritzker and his administration to stop this dangerous derangement and commit to honoring the ICE arrest detainers of the more than 4,000 criminal illegal aliens in Illinois’ custody. It is common sense. Criminal illegal aliens should not be released back onto our streets to terrorize more innocent Americans.”

According to a letter from Lyons shared with Fox News, Illinois has “tens of thousands of criminal illegal aliens” in custody that Lyons urged “should be swiftly removed from the United States and not be returned to our streets to wreak havoc on law-abiding citizens.”

As Erin Schniederjan, research assistant for Homeland Security, shared with The Washington Stand, “Illinois should repeal the TRUST Act, in which doing so would allow local law enforcement to participate in federal immigration enforcement. Illinois residents should also be empowered to sue state officials who obstruct federal law enforcement. The new ICE-out legislation Governor Pritzker just signed facilitates residents to sue federal law enforcement for enforcing federal immigration law, but Illinois residents still can’t hold state officials accountable for obstructing federal law enforcement.”

As Schniederjan went on to explain, “Sanctuary policies allow illegal aliens to be protected, and unrightfully so. Protecting illegal aliens, many of them being violent criminals, only puts communities at risk. Think of all of the crimes that could have been prevented and people that would still be with us if sanctuary policies didn’t exist.” Ultimately, she added, “If Illinois and other states alike actually cared about their residents, they would work with federal law enforcement to remove the illegal aliens who have no right to be here in the first place.”

Schniederjan concluded by calling for accountability: “The federal government can hold states accountable for harboring illegal aliens by revoking state and city funding.” Otherwise, “sanctuary jurisdictions will prioritize illegal aliens over their own citizens to maintain political power.”

Susie Wiles: Trump will campaign for 2026 midterms ‘like it’s 2024 again’

/in , , , , , , , , , , /by

White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles revealed that President Donald Trump will get out and “campaign like it’s 2024 again” for the 2026 midterm elections. 

BREITBART — During an interview on The Mom View, Wiles spoke about the 2026 celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States, the 2026 Winter Olympics, and the FIFA World Cup. Wiles also referenced how, instead of focusing on localizing the midterm elections, the Trump administration would turn that approach “on its head.”

“This is such a great time for him to be in office,” Wiles said. “He’s such a patriot. He loves it so much. He’s going to have a fun next year, but, we’re going to put him on the campaign trail, too. Typically — just a little bit of campaign speak, if I may.”

Wiles went on to explain that “in the midterms, it’s not about who’s sitting at the White House,” but about localizing the election and keeping “the federal officials out of it.”

America’s Generosity and the Somali Question: Accountability Must Come First!

/in , , , , , , , , /by

America remains one of the few nations on earth where people of different religions, cultures, and backgrounds can arrive with nothing and still build a successful life.

The institutions are designed to give ordinary people a fair chance at the American Dream. That is why millions fleeing war, poverty, and religious extremism have found hope on American soil.

Somali immigrants are no exception. Many from Somalia have built successful lives in the United States, contributing to their communities and strengthening the economy. As a Nigerian, I have seen countless members of my own community transformed by the opportunities United States of America provides. They work hard, give back, honor the nation that welcomed them and became Americans in flesh and blood.

In truth, no country is as accommodating as the United States. America is so open that even visitors sometimes accuse citizens of not doing enough for newcomers. For many immigrants, the safety and opportunities in America far exceed what they had in their home countries.

Yet fairness demands honesty. A system that appears to prioritize the needs of immigrants over those of its own citizens and veterans can feel unjust, and that perception fuels resentment. If the roles were reversed, few countries that benefit from America’s generosity wouldn’t extend the same level of charity to United States.

This context makes the recent allegations of large scale fraud in Minnesota especially troubling. Reports involving individuals connected to the Somali-American community in Minneapolis some allegedly linked to figures associated with Congresswoman Ilhan Omar have raised deep public anger and concern. The idea that Americans taxpayer funds could be siphoned, misused and diverted to found it way to Alshabab terrorist organisation in Somalia in ways that harm United States interests is deeply distressing. Americans deserve clarity, accountability, and due process, regardless of who is involved.

President Donald Trump has openly criticized the situation, pointing to failures under Minnesota’s Democratic leadership, including Governor Tim Walz. Many Americans, especially taxpayers and veterans, view this as a breach of trust.

Equally troubling are statements from Somalia Americans community suggesting openly the desire to impose Shariah laws, use only native-language systems, or make religious dominance an eventual goal. These sentiments, even if held by a minority, undermine the shared values that unite the country. They disrespect the sacrifices of the American Founding Fathers and countless veterans who defended the nation with their lives.

America does not ask immigrants to abandon their heritage. It simply asks that those who live it’s country should respect American values, honor the Constitution, and contribute constructively to society.

Living in the United States is not a Rights but a privilege one built on sacrifice, service, and the belief in equality under the law.

To Somali Americans and indeed all immigrant groups the message is clear: America offers opportunity, but it expects loyalty and patriotism in return. Support the country that opened its doors and accepted you with an open arms, Stand for its values, Contribute to its progress and live your life as an American.

For those unwilling to do so, the path forward will be very challenging, especially under the current leadership of President Donald Trump that is committed to strict immigration enforcement.

The greatness of America lies in its generosity. But generosity must never come at the expense of accountability. For America to remain a beacon of hope, every community must uphold the principles that make this nation exceptional.

Study: Charlie Kirk’s Murder Fueled Religious Revival among Young Americans

/in , , , , , , , , /by

The assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk had a significant impact on the nation, fostering discussions on the link between dehumanizing rhetoric and political violence, prompting the White House to investigate left-wing domestic terrorist groups, and inspiring a Christian revival among broad swaths of the population. Now, a new study is examining that revival, its extent, and its impact.

According to a survey conducted by the Barna Group, nearly one fifth (18%) of American adults reported that they became more spiritually active following Kirk’s assassination, while 5% said that they became more politically active and 6% said that they became both more spiritually and more politically active.

The spike in being spiritually active was most pronounced among younger generations and practicing Christians, the Barna Group noted. Among adults of Generation Z, 22% reported becoming more spiritually active, 7% more politically active, and 6% both more spiritually and more politically active. The share was almost identical among Millennials, with only 2% more reporting becoming more spiritually active. Among practicing Christians, 30% reported becoming more spiritually active and 10% reported becoming both more spiritually and more politically active, while only 3% reported becoming just more politically active.

“It is remarkable to see the impact of a widely known public figure, and the fact that tens of millions of Americans were inspired to take action as a result of his death,” said Barna Group CEO David Kinnaman in a statement. “There has been some discussion about Charlie Kirk’s passing as directly responsible for a surge in church attendance,” he observed. However, Kinnaman pointed out that younger Americans (especially Generation Z) were already returning to church and becoming more religious in the months preceding Kirk’s murder, which the Barna Group chief suggested may have fueled or accelerated that Christian revival.

In comments to The Washington Stand, Joseph Backholm, senior fellow for Biblical Worldview at Family Research Council, noted, “In recent years, Charlie had emphasized the importance of faith before political activity, and in his death that message landed with those who respected him.” Backholm continued, “I also think there’s an understanding that he was murdered, not because of his political positions, but because he was engaged very directly in a spiritual war. This clearly became about more than politics and an encouraging number of young people are seeing this and they want to engage in the spiritual war that inspires our political wars.”

Nearly half (47%) of Americans, including a majority (71%) of practicing Christians, said that they believe Kirk’s death will continue to have a positive impact on Christianity among younger generations, but survey respondents were less optimistic on other issues. Only about a third (34%) of polled adults said that they believe the ability to have civil political conversations will improve in the years ahead, while a similar share (33%) predicted that the ability to have civil political conversations will continue to deteriorate. Less than 30% said that Kirk’s assassination will foster cooperation between conservatives and liberals, while over a third (35%) anticipated a negative impact. The Barna Group noted that Generation Z “respondents were particularly likely to expect negative impacts on political cooperation (45% negative vs. 29% positive), American politics broadly (46% negative vs 33% positive), and civil discourse (43% negative vs 32% positive).”

“Practicing Christians held markedly different views,” the Barna Group observed. In addition to anticipating a positive impact on Christianity among young Americans, a majority (53%) of practicing Christians said that they expect Kirk’s murder to yield a positive impact on civil political discourse. Nearly half (49%) also expected Kirk’s death would have a positive impact on politics in the U.S. and nearly as many (44%) anticipated a positive impact on the relationship between conservatives and liberals.

“It is a cliché that young people are the leaders of tomorrow because it’s true. We need future leaders who understand what time it is and the spiritual nature of our political conflicts,” Backholm told TWS. “The first responsibility of Christian adults is to disciple young people in our sphere, particularly those in our homes. Charlie was especially good at reaching young people, but he is by no means the only one capable of doing that, and now we all have to pick up the mantle.”

“Every person is on a unique spiritual journey, so there is no one way to activate people spiritually. And some people aren’t interested in the truth and can’t be activated until hearts are changed,” Backholm cautioned. “But there are always people who are seeking the truth as well, and pointing them to the truth requires us to live lives that demonstrate God’s ways are better while also being able to communicate why rebellion against God’s plan for humanity causes so much pain,” he continued. “Reality will always be on our side because God made the rules; we just need to make sure our words and lives consistently demonstrate the beauty and superiority of God’s plan. If we do, people will be interested.”

In the weeks following Kirk’s assassination, TPUSA hosted a memorial event for their slain leader, attended by President Donald Trump and members of his administration. Renowned neurosurgeon and former Trump administration official Dr. Ben Carson marveled at the “revival” inspired by Kirk’s Christian faith. “Get on board of the revival that is coming. We are not going to be able to stop it. You see evidence of it right here in this stadium. We’re all going to be a part of it,” he urged pastors.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that “the movement Charlie Kirk led and started and gave fuel to was about politics, but not only about politics.” He then delivered a synopsis of the Gospels, recounting how sin entered the world and how Christ suffered, died, and rose again in order to free mankind from that sin. “Because He took on that death, because He carried that cross, we were freed from the sin that separated us from Him. And when He returns, there will be a new Heaven and a new earth, and we will all be together. And we are going to have a great reunion there again with Charlie and all the people we love,” the secretary declared. Vice President J.D. Vance, a longtime friend of Kirk’s, also spoke. “The evil murderer who took Charlie from us expected us to have a funeral today. And instead, my friends, we have had a revival in celebration of Charlie Kirk and of his Lord Jesus Christ.”

Kirk’s widow and now his successor as CEO of TPUSA, Erika, made international headlines for her own Christian witness. “Charlie passionately wanted to reach and save the Lost Boys of the West, the young men who feel like they have no direction, no purpose, no faith, and no reason to live, the men wasting their lives on distractions and the men consumed with resentment, anger, and hate,” she recalled of her husband’s work and mission. “He wanted to save young men, just like the one who took his life. That young man, that young man,” she said, visibly emotional and choking on tears. “On the cross, our Savior said, ‘Father, forgive them, for they [do] not know what they do.’ That man, that young man. I forgive him.”

“This past week, we saw people open a Bible for the first time in a decade. We saw people pray for the first time since they were children. We saw people go to a church service for the first time in their entire lives,” Erika said, in reference to the spiritual impact her husband’s death had on the nation. “To those of you out there who just made that decision and took the first step toward a spiritual life, I say thank you and welcome. One day I hope you look back and realize it was the most important decision of your life. Because it is,” she continued. “All of you who are already believers, it is your job to shepherd these people. Do not take that lightly. Water the seed of their faith, protect it, and help it grow,” Erika urged. “Choose prayer. Choose courage. Choose beauty. Choose adventure. Choose family. Choose a life of faith. Most importantly, choose Christ.”

DEMOCRAT: The Party of the Terrorists, by the Terrorists and for the Terrorists

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

“Washington is broken. My whole campaign has been premised from the start on the idea that we have to fundamentally change how Washington works.” — Barrak Hussein Obama.

“I favor legalizing same-sex marriages, and would fight efforts to prohibit such marriages.” — Barrak Hussein Obama.

“We are trained Marxists.” – Patrisse Cullors, Black Lives Matter Co-founder

“The organization Black Lives Matter (BLM) is not about black lives. BLM is a Marxist organization disguised as a civil rights organization. Instead of improving race relations, BLM exploits racial tensions to collapse America from within and replace our constitutional republic with socialism/communism. BLM is the ultimate humanitarian hoax being perpetrated on unsuspecting Americans who still believe that BLM cares about black lives. They don’t.” — 

We are witnessing a fundamental transformation of the Democrat Party since the election of Barrak Hussein Obama, who promised that, if elected, he would “fundamentally transform America.”

His promise has come true. He has via the Democrat Party fundamentally transformed America into a violent, hate filled, terrorist state.

It now has become the party of the violent terrorists of various stripes.

The Red Green Rainbow Alliance

My greatest and most profound mistake is not seeing the existential danger of the “Red-Green-Rainbow Alliance” to the national security of the United States of America.

I was stationed in Germany, with my wife and soon to be born son, from 1971 till 1974. While there I, my family and my unit were exposed to two terrorist organizations. I at that time did not connect the dots between these two organizations and their clear and present danger to me, my family and our nation.

The Baader–Meinhof Gang

The first terrorist organization was the Baader–Meinhof Group or Baader–Meinhof Gang also know as the Red Army Faction (RAF). This group was made up of hardcore Communists. They attacked U.S. assets, conducted assassinations, kidnappings, bombed a club frequented by American soldiers and robbed banks to fund their Marxist movement.

Because of the Baader–Meinhof Gang’s stated tactic to abduct the children of American military members stationed in Germany the housing complex, that I, my wife and our newly born son Rich, Jr., lived in had barbed wire surrounding it and armed guards patrolling the grounds 24-7.

The Red Army Faction was a very real and direct threat to me and my wife and our son. Today, the Communist ideology has become an existential threat to the American way of life.

Black September 1972

The second group was known as “Black September.” Black September (Arabic: أيلول الأسود; Aylūl Al-Aswad), was named after the conflict between the Hashemite Kingdom of King of Jordan and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).

On September 4th, 1972 Black September attacked the Olympic Village in Munich, Germany. This Islamic terrorist attack was to become known as the “Munich massacre.” The attack was carried out by eight members of the Palestinian militant organization Black September, who infiltrated the Olympic Village, killed two members of the Israeli Olympic team, and took nine others hostage. Later, in a failed rescue attempt by the German police, the nine Israeli athletes and one German police officer were murdered. Total murdered: 11 Israelis and 1 German.

After the Munich massacre my unit, the 1st Infantry Division, was called out to provide additional security at the Olympic Village.

What I did not know at that time was that both the Baader–Meinhof Gang (Red Brigade) and Black September were trained by the Palestine Liberation Organization in camps in Jordan.

This was the Red-Green Alliance that has now infiltrated the United States and is causing irreputable harm to our nation and its people. This alliance has grown in strength and power. There are even members of Congress who are followers of Marx and Mohammed.

The Red-Green Alliance is today a much greater threat to me, my family and a “clear and present danger” to our country.

WATCH: Somali Muslim: ‘My biggest regret in life is that Trump will not be alive to witness our full takeover of America’

What am I doing differently?

I now spend time speaking, writing and teaching others about the Red-Green Alliance, which has added a third new ultra-radical faction the LGBTQIA+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexuals + Allies) movement.

We now have an even more dangerous and deadly “Red-Green-Rainbow Alliance” bent on the destruction of our families, lives, lifestyles and livelihoods.

Each is working, in concert, to destroy our cultural norms, fundamentally transform our society, destroy the traditional family and marriage between one man and one woman, undermine our Judeo-Christian religious foundation and infiltrate all of our government agencies including the Department of Defense.

Each wants more and more power, absolute power over me, my family, my son, his wife and our grandchildren.

The Bottom Line

WATCH: Barack Hussein Obama attempted to overthrow the Constitutional Republic of the United States in 2016

The current cancel culture/cultural war against America is Red, Green, Black, and Rainbow.

These minority groups have taken control of the Democrat Party and have lead to the election of Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.

You see the danger to America is not Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of a Biden presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgement to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president.

The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Biden, who is a mere symptom of what ails America.

Blaming the prince of fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Biden, who is, after all, merely a fool. The Republic is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president!

Designated Terror Group CAIR ‘Pay-For-Jew-Hatred’ Policy

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

For decades, the Palestinian Authority’s “pay-to-slay” system has rewarded terrorists and their families — and now that same moral sickness has crossed into the United States. CAIR-California’s “Champions of Justice Fund” is paying students who break the law during anti-Israel protests, turning campus disorder into a cash-reward system that experts warn will only fuel radicalization. Even more alarming, this is the same organization once tapped by the Biden administration to help shape national antisemitism policy, despite its leadership’s past statements praising Hamas, its history as an unindicted co-conspirator in terror-financing cases, and the FBI’s decision to cut ties. With lawmakers now pushing to strip CAIR of its tax-exempt status and designate it as a terrorist-linked entity, the warning is unmistakable: when extremism is rewarded instead of crushed, it doesn’t fade — it metastasizes.

The evidence shows that CAIR is a criminal terrorist organization. This conclusion is shared by the United States government. The Department of Justice named CAIR in the federal criminal trial of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development,[1] which concluded with multiple guilty verdicts, as an unindicted co-conspirator in a massive conspiracy to fundraise for, and otherwise pursue, the terrorist agenda of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Palestine Committee, a public relations and fund raising arm of Hamas in the United States.[2]  See generally HLF.[3]  Specifically, CAIR was named as one of the organizations formed by the defendants and co-conspirators to create the appearance of legality in the effort to raise funds and public support for Hamas and its jihad abroad.  As the evidence in the HLF trial demonstrated, these plans were part of the 1993 Philadelphia planning meeting carried out by Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas operatives, a meeting which the FBI secretly recorded pursuant to a lawful court order, the entire transcript of which was introduced into the record at the HLF trial.[4]  Two of the key participants at this Muslim Brotherhood-Hamas planning meeting were Omar Ahmad and Nihad Awad.[5]  Ahmad co-founded CAIR, along with CAIR’s executive director Awad, in 1994 soon after this meeting. Ahmad served as CAIR’s chairman of the board until 2005 and Awad still serves as CAIR’s executive director.

Further, the federal prosecutors successfully resisted every effort by CAIR to have the public designation of CAIR as an “unindicted co-conspirator” removed from the court record and concluded as follows in its brief to the court:

Indeed, CAIR’s request to strike its name from the government’s co-conspirator’s list is moot, since its conspiratorial relationship with the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF) was confirmed by testimony and documentary evidence admitted at trial prior to the date CAIR even filed its brief.[6]

  1. After the convictions, CAIR and another co-conspirator filed motions to have their names stricken from the co-conspirator list.  The trial judge refused based on the fact that the evidence fully supported this co-conspirator designation.  (Filed as Doc. No. 1356 in HLF; see also Ex. B to the Declaration of John Stemberger filed in support of Defendant’s opposition to Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment.)
  2. A key piece of evidence introduced at the HLF trial and linked to the Muslim Brotherhood-Palestine Committee-Hamas conspiracy was a “planning memo” which describes the purpose of the “legal” organizations, such as CAIR, that the Muslim Brotherhood sought to establish in the United States:

The process of settlement is a “Civilization-Jihadist Process” with all the word means.  The Ikhwan [Muslim Brotherhood] must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and Allah’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.[7]

  1. In addition, the FBI has publicly stated that it will have no formal or official contacts with CAIR precisely because of the evidence that linked CAIR and its senior management to Hamas and its purposes.[8] Finally, in response to a letter from Congresswoman Sue Myrick, a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, the U.S. Department of Justice recently wrote in relevant part: (above)

CAIR’s ‘pay-for-Jew-hatred’ policy

The California chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations launched a “Champions of Justice Fund” that pays $1,000 “educational grants” to students disciplined for anti-Israel actions.

By: Mitchell Bard, JNS, December 8, 2025:

For years, the Palestinian Authority has rewarded terrorism through its “pay-to-slay” stipends—monthly salaries for Palestinians who murder Jews and for the families of “martyrs,” including suicide bombers. Some of the killers recently freed in Israel’s hostage exchanges have even become millionaires. That morally bankrupt model is now being replicated inside the United States. Hamas’s supporters here have created their own incentive system—this time to reward anti-Israel activism on American campuses.

The California chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) launched a “Champions of Justice Fund” that pays $1,000 “educational grants” to students disciplined for anti-Israel actions. In October 2024 alone, CAIR-CA distributed $20,000 to protestors from elite universities like Harvard University, Columbia University and the University of Pennsylvania.

According to the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI), the fund raised more than $64,000 and framed unlawful encampments as “acts of solidarity,” urging universities to collaborate with demonstrators and portraying police enforcement as “violence.” NCRI’s Joel Finkelstein warned, “These programs support students after acts of criminality and violence, creating a reward structure for building the most militant face of the movement. This is how ideologies metastasize.”

This is not an aberration.

CAIR has a documented, decades-long record of extremism. Founded by leaders of the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP)—described by the U.S. government as part of Hamas’s “propaganda apparatus—CAIR is led by Nihad Awad, IAP’s former public-relations director. Awad publicly declared, “I am in support of the Hamas movement” in 1994. He eulogized Sheikh Abdul-Majid al-Zindani, a recruiter and fundraiser for Al-Qaeda. He asserts that “Zionist organizations” are “enemies of the Muslim community” and are the “core of the Islamophobia network in the United States.” He has claimed that the “Zionist lobby, or pro-Israel” lobby has corrupted Congress.

Astonishingly, the Biden administration had listed CAIR among the organizations that would help implement its national strategy to counter antisemitism. Then came Oct. 7.

Awad publicly celebrated the massacre as Palestinians “breaking the siege,” while denying Israel the right to self-defense, later offering a farcical, antisemitic “clarification” that the attackers were merely taking a symbolic walk on “ethnically cleansed land.” It wasn’t clear which “average Palestinians” he was referring to when the video footage shot by the terrorists showed “civilians” participating in the attack.

The White House disavowed the organization and erased its name from the antisemitism plan’s website. Spokesman Andrew Bates said that “we condemn these shocking, antisemitic statements in the strongest terms.”

Other CAIR officials have echoed similar themes: comparing Israel to Nazi Germany, denying Israel’s right to self-defense and cheering Hamas’s atrocities as “decolonization.” CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism-financing trial, where Hamas funders were convicted, prompting the FBI to sever all ties in 2008.

Lawmakers have taken notice. Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.) introduced legislation urging the U.S. State Department to designate CAIR as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. “This takes long-overdue action to confront the terrorist threat posed by CAIR, a Trojan horse for terrorism operating inside our own borders,” said Fine.

He noted that “CAIR still maintains a direct relationship with Hamas” and “is a group that celebrated the massacre on Oct. 7, saying it made them ‘happy.’” In an interview with The Daily Signal, Fine said CAIR is an “orchestrated Muslim terror front intended to legitimize Muslim terror and to shut down critics of it.”

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) requested that Internal Revenue Service commissioner Billy Long investigate CAIR’s nonprofit status “due to the group’s ties to terrorist organizations like Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.”

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has already acted, designating CAIR as an FTO under state law and barring it from acquiring land. “The actions taken by the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR to support terrorism across the globe and subvert our laws through violence, intimidation and harassment are unacceptable,” he said.

By adopting its own “pay-to-slay” model (“pay-for-Jew-hatred”), CAIR has again revealed that it is an organization that excuses terror, rewards antisemitism and works to mainstream extremism under the veneer of civil rights advocacy. The federal government should follow Texas’s lead. The State Department and IRS must strip CAIR of its tax-exempt status and formally designate it for what its record plainly shows it to be.

WATCH: Somali Muslim: ‘My biggest regret in life is that Trump will not be alive to witness our full takeover of America’

Of course, Somali Muslims and Muslims in general will never take over America. The very idea is absurd, right? Whether it is or not, many people will be killed in the attempt. The Defiant L’s X account puts this up because its operators think it is self-evidently absurd. Are they aware of Islam’s supremacist imperative?

“And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is all for Allah. But if they stop, then indeed, Allah is the seer of what they do.” (Qur’an 8:39)

“Then, when the sacred months have passed, kill the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them, and besiege them, and prepare for them every ambush. But if they repent and establish prayer and give alms, then leave their way free. Indeed, Allah is forgiving, merciful.” (Qur’an 9:5)

“Fight against those who do not believe in Allah or the last day, and do not forbid what Allah and his messenger have forbidden, and do not follow the religion of truth, even if they are among the people of the book, until they pay the jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.” (Qur’an 9:29)

“Indeed, Allah has bought from the believers their lives and their wealth, because the garden will be theirs, they will fight in the way of Allah and will kill and be killed. It is a promise that is binding on him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur’an. Who fulfills his covenant better than Allah? Rejoice then in your bargain that you have made, for that is the supreme triumph.” (Qur’an 9:111)

“O you who believe, fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty.” (Qur’an 9:123)

“Now when you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks until, when you have subdued them, then make fast the bonds, and afterward either generosity or ransom until the war lays down its burdens. That, and if Allah willed, he could have punished them, but so that he may test some of you by means of others. And those who have been killed in the way of Allah, he does not make their actions useless.” (Qur’an 47:4)

BEWARE: Egypt Prepares to send 15,000 Palestinian police to Gaza. What could possibly go wrong?

“The P.A. is a jihadist and corrupt organization. To have them take over Gaza would be to lose the war, admitting defeat… Only Israel has to take control over the Gaza Strip. Nobody else is going to be able to do the job for us.” — Yishai Fleisher, international spokesperson for the Jewish community in Hebron.

BEWARE: EGYPT PREPARES TO SEND POLICE TO GAZA

by Micha Gefen

November 30, 2025 israelunwired.com

Egypt has quietly begun training thousands of Palestinian security personnel earmarked for deployment in a post-Hamas Gaza Strip, according to senior Palestinian sources quoted by AFP and the London-based Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed.

The program, which Israeli defense officials have been tracking closely for months, is already well underway. In March 2025, the first cohort of over 500 Palestinian recruits completed an Egyptian-run course that included physical training, weapons handling, crowd control, and police theory. Additional groups of several hundred have been cycling through Egyptian facilities since September, with Cairo publicly committing to prepare as many as 5,000 officers in total.

From Israel’s standpoint, the Egyptian initiative is a double-edged sword.

On one hand, Jerusalem has repeatedly stated that Hamas must not be part of any future Gaza administration, and a professional, Egyptian-trained police force could theoretically fill the security vacuum left after the terror group’s military defeat. Israeli officials have long insisted that any post-war governing body be fully demilitarized and incapable of threatening Israeli communities bordering the Strip.

On the other hand, serious concerns remain in Israel’s security establishment:

  • The exact vetting process for recruits is unclear, and there are fears that Hamas or Islamic Jihad sympathizers could infiltrate the new force.
  • The program is tied to the November 2024 Cairo agreement between Fatah and Hamas, which envisions merging the 5,000 Egyptian-trained officers with 5,000 existing Hamas-controlled “police” who never disarmed.
  • Funding for the new force will reportedly come from the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah—an entity that continues to pay salaries to terrorists under the “pay-for-slay” policy, a point of ongoing friction with Israel.

Defense officials in Tel Aviv note that while Egypt has proven itself a responsible actor in mediating ceasefires and preventing arms smuggling through the Philadelphi Corridor, Cairo’s vision of “Palestinian unity” often clashes with Israel’s red line of zero tolerance for any Hamas presence in Gaza’s future security apparatus.

Prime Minister Netanyahu’s office declined to comment directly on the training program but reiterated Israel’s longstanding position: “Any force that enters Gaza on the day after must be thoroughly vetted, completely disconnected from terrorist organizations, and willing to cooperate fully with Israel on security matters. Anything less is unacceptable.”
As IDF operations continue to dismantle Hamas’s military structure, the question of who will hold the ground afterward grows increasingly urgent. For now, Israel is watching Egypt’s police project with cautious optimism—and a very close eye.

President Trump Is Right About Tim Walz

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Great article below explaining that Minnisota Governor Tampon/Stolen Valor Tim Walz deserves the tag of “Retarded” given to him by POTUS Trump. This name was not meant to be a slam against people who are mentally disadvantaged but as an ample description of Walz as an individual with idiotic tenancies.

I mean what man exclaiming to be an “every man” doesn’t even know how to load a shotgun and/or puts their image on a challenge coin as a Sergeant Major when; in fact, he declined this promotion when he decided to retire rather than go to the middle east with his national guard unit ? Or who recommended placing tampons in men’s bathrooms in schools and/or embellished his reputation as a volunteer football coach. Not to mention gleefully accepting becoming the VP running mate for the Queen of Worthless Word Salads, Commie Kamala Harris.

Now he denies any culpability or even knowledge of a $1B fraud scandal right under his nose in Minnesota by a large Democrat voting block e.g. Somalians.

President Trump Is Right About Tim Walz

They say you should not “hate” your opponents, that it will cloud your judgment. That’s probably true, at least to a certain point, but up to that point it is a helpful motivator in your quest to defeat them. Besides, some people simply deserve the hatred – the type that is passed on from generation to generation, the stuff of legend – and so much more. Those people are a special kind of evil and can go straight to hell without passing “Go” and without collecting $200.

Who deserves such condemnation? A lot of people, actually. Every new day, it seems like there is an ever-growing conga line of Democrats dancing along to imaginary music, desperately competing for the title of “Biggest Idiot” or “Largest Pile Of Watery Excrement” in a game every loses because it exists. Some are famous, some are not. Some were always radicals; some were just opportunistic con artists. Every single one of them deserves a first-class cabin on the train to hell.

On top of the deserving list is Tim Walz. The Governor of Minnesota oversaw the largest welfare fraud scheme in history, but because it was done by black people from Somalia – and Somalis are an important voting demographic in the state for Democrats – he looked the other way. Either that or he has the IQ of someone who was weaned on lead paint chips, which is also a real possibility.

When not lying about his military service or raising entitled, exceedingly ordinary children, Walz spends his time smearing half the country. He calls everyone not on the left a “Nazi” or “Gazpacho,” being too big a moron to be able to pronounce “Gestapo” phonetically written out on a teleprompter.

President Trump recently called him “retarded” because, well, it’s actually the perfect word to describe Tim Walz. Walz, who has all the mannerisms of a coked-out Muppet, was outraged over the use of the word, but the President meant no offense to those with intellectual disabilities, and I understand how that could be offensive – no one wants to be compared to Democrats. But where the word no longer is the acceptable word for its old usage, it remains the perfect one for people like Walz.

Tim claimed that people were “driving by my house and using the ‘R’ word.” This is the first recorded incident of a drive-by “retarding.” Let there be no confusion: people should not do this. They stop the car, get out and then yell it. There is no reason to speed past, yelling. When driving, your focus should be on the road…the person in the passenger seat can do the yelling.

Walz called this “shameful,” adding, “We know how these things go. They start with taunts, they turn to violence.” It’s the old “Stick and stones may break my bones, but words are the real problem.”

Yet, Timmy has spent the better part of a year smearing people as Nazis, which actually did lead to violence. His team almost killed President Trump and ICE agents; they did kill Charlie Kirk.

They’ve terrorized students on college campuses and business owners with the misfortune of opening in Democrat-controlled cities. None of this bothered Tim Walz or his equally lead-infused wife – she gleefully “opened the windows” of their home to get the smell of their burning city inside, speaking of it like it was Spanish Fly or something.

These are gross people, these are bad people. When the President called Tim Walz “retarded” he was simply using the perfect word to accurately describe someone who has actively campaigned for the assassination of his political opponents. That he hopes to inspire it for the sake of plausible deniability, rather than call for it directly, is irrelevant. The end result is the same.
