Rep. Ro Khanna, D-California, is trying really hard to get a former lawmaker on board to help the Democratic Party’s midterm chances. The progressive congressman joined CNN’s Dana Bash, where the two discussed the upcoming elections. At one point during a response, he called Rep. Jasmine Crockett “brilliant” and an “extraordinary asset” despite her lack of desire to endorse James Talarico.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel believes that her party’s rush to embrace far-left critics of Israel will not benefit them. Democrats have said very little about the skyrocketing popularity of DSA candidates within their party, some of whom embrace anti-Israel sentiments, and it is rubbing the party’s Jewish members the wrong way. Nessel joined The Atlantic‘s David Frum to warn against accepting the hateful rhetoric aimed at her people. Watch: [embedded content] “I think it’s a fundamental mistake for the Democratic Party to think that you can just push Jewish Democrats out and simply replace them with any other population,” she…
Rep. Joyce Beatty, D-Ohio, was bluntly asked who would “stop” the potential demolition of the Kennedy Center. As BizPac Review previously reported, the Department of Justice alleges that if President Donald Trump’s administration is not allowed to continue its renovation efforts on the center, it should be torn down. “Without those efforts, the Center will deteriorate further into an unsafe, decrepit structure that will be required to be taken down, with a determination to follow on what to build on the site, such as a large outdoor amphitheater overlooking the Potomac River that has been proposed, by some, for many years,”…

While the Justice Department called out the “virtue signaling,” the Department of Homeland Security slammed a leftist mayor over a new discriminatory executive order. Whether it’s prioritizing illegal aliens or pushing reparations, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) doesn’t just grab radical opportunities; he seeks them out.

Trump-promoted gas stations peddled stolen fuel, according to a lawsuit filed earlier this month. Attorneys for Mansfield Oil Company claim that “foreign corporation KRSM obtained in excess of 1.1 million gallons of fuel from the former company’s account from May 21 through July 7,” according to The Hill. The cost of the fuel came out to about $4 million, but as of Aug. 17, the amount had not been paid. “Of the roughly 1.1 million gallons of fuel KRSM obtained from Mansfield, it sold ‘a portion’ of it to stations in the Freedom Fuel Network, per the suit,” the outlet reported.…
NBC News’ Kristen Welker once again ran afoul of President Donald Trump, prompting calls for a Federal Communications Commission “punishment” over an alleged “Threat to our Country.” Sometimes subtle and often brazen, bias has proven time and again why corporate media is considered fake news. Sunday, the president called out yet another example as Welker referred to the election success of his endorsements as “mixed,” earning the promise of a report to the FCC for allegedly abusing “freely given Public Airwaves.” Speaking on NBC 4 Washington, the host of “Meet the Press” addressed South Carolina’s GOP primary runoff from Tuesday…
Police in Normandy, Missouri, said a would-be burglar was fatally shot while forcing his way into a home in an August 13 incident.

The crisis triggered fresh tensions within the EU over immigration and dealt a blow to one of its main achievements, the Schengen free-travel zone.(AFP) — Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez on Monday ruled out Moroccan responsibility for last month’s migrant surge into Ceuta, accusing Israel, Russia and the far right of spreading disinformation about the crisis.More than 70,000 migrants entered the small Spanish territory in North Africa on July 30-31, swimming or crossing on foot from neighboring Morocco in an unprecedented surge that left scores dead.Some analysts have suggested the crisis may have been a message from Morocco to Spain…

Game streamer Asmongold, whose real name is Zack Hoyt, took about 30 seconds to make it clear that the anti-Zionism promoted by leftist influencer Hasan Piker and others is in reality anti-Semitism. Piker recently argued that Americans don’t care about Israel, and the way people try to make them care is by saying, “It’s the only thing standing in the way of the next Holocaust happening. That’s how you do it.” Hoyt responded, “To be fair, the stated goal of multiple Islamic terrorist groups is to kill all of the Jews.” “I mean, I think that there’s some validity in…

The Trump administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday to consider the legality of its policy effectively barring trans-identifying individuals from serving in the military. In its petition, the Department of Justice (DOJ) requested the high court to determine whether the War Department’s rule that “generally disqualifies” those who have “gender dysphoria, a history of the condition, or a history of related interventions” violates the “equal-protection component” of the Fifth Amendment’s due process clause. The filing was made by U.S. Solicitor General John Sauer, who often represents the administration in oral arguments before the court. At issue is a…

Gavin Newsom inadvertently admitted something I noticed long ago: on economic policies, they don’t so much disagree with Trump as they hate his rhetoric. Sure, they have some big policy disagreements, but fewer than they want you to believe. On immigration, they are worlds apart because they desperately need open borders to maintain their political power and NGO grift, and they can’t quit alphabet ideology. Advertisement But despite their complaints that Trump increases costs for average Americans, they aren’t going to reverse his signature policy: tariffs. They didn’t under Biden, and wouldn’t under Newsom. They may tweak it, but not drop…

Her August 29 article “The Right’s Woman Problem,” is no different.
