Corrupt Democrat Rep. Caught Taking Bribes

In 2013, U.S. Representative Henry Cuellar and his wife took a seemingly routine trip to Turkey and Azerbaijan, funded by an obscure Houston-based nonprofit. What followed, federal prosecutors now allege, was a years-long scheme involving foreign influence, money laundering, and one of the most serious indictments ever brought against a sitting member of Congress. According to a federal indictment unsealed last week, Cuellar and his wife accepted nearly $600,000 in bribes from two foreign entities: Azerbaijan’s state-owned oil company, SOCAR, and Mexico’s Banco Azteca. Prosecutors allege that Cuellar, a Democrat from Laredo, Texas,

Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that President Donald Trump has gone too far with mass immigration raids.”
Kelly said, “I don’t think this is what the American people wanted. Margaret, the the border security issue under President Biden was not working, and I pushed the administration on that. But we have now swung drastically in another direction. And I don’t think this is what the American people want either.”
Host Margaret Brennan said, “Well, to your point, though. President Trump won your state by almost six points in November. And, you know, immigration was one of his top promises to go ahead with this crackdown.”
Texas Governor Greg Abbott traveled to Ingram, Texas, to deliver $25,000 checks from country-western legend George Strait to families devastated by the deadly Independence Day Hill Country flooding. The checks delivered by Abbott on Saturday were part of the more than $7 million raised during Strait’s benefit concert on July 27. Aid and other support for Hill Country communities is being delayed by Texas House Democrats who broke quorum to stop the state’s congressional redistricting plan.
On Saturday, Abbott praised Strait and the non-profit Vaqueros del Mar group, which worked with Strait to organize the benefit concert in a social media post on X (formerly Twitter).
Former Attorney General Eric Holder said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that there was “no factual basis” for the Trump administration’s investigations into high-profile Democrats.
Host Kristen Welker said, “President Trump has launched investigations into many of his perceived political foes, including former President Barack Obama and New York Attorney General Letitia James, Democratic Senator Adam Schiff. I’m naming just a few of the people you have described this as the, quote, weaponization of the Justice Department, which is, by the way, the same criticism President Trump has made about the DOJ under former President Biden. So let me ask you about that.
One of the more underappreciated aspects of the 2024 election is just how confident most Democrats were that they would win it.
It seems like an eternity ago, but there was a time when the American left was all but certain Kamala Harris would be the next president. Who can remember the months-long proclamation of "joy" being a central theme of her campaign? Or "Brat summer," suggesting Harris had made inroads with pop culture that simply couldn't be defeated. I still remember having to repeatedly debunk reports on election day of massive turnout in Philadelphia that had supposedly sealed the deal for the then-vice president.

When I showed up for Army Basic Training at Ft Dix, New Jersey, on a spring morning in the early '80s, I had a couple of advantages over a lot of the other recruits, and I knew it. I was a big, tough kid from a rural background, had self-confidence to spare, and wasn't afraid of anything. Then I encountered Army drill sergeants, and a tactic that we later learned was called the "shark attack." (Snip) Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is now bringing that and other classic practices back - he's going to let drill sergeants be drill sergeants again,
Democrats and the mainstream media are constantly on the lookout for examples of alleged ICE overreach involving someone who supposedly was wrongly detained and/or deported, or someone whom they can otherwise try to sympathetically portray, even if they are an illegal immigrant whom DHS has the authority to deport.
They’ve claimed, for instance, that young children who were U.S. citizens were deported out of the country, (Snip) The latest ICE detainee we're supposed to believe was a victim of ICE overreach concerns an Alabama woman, 24-year-old Giovanna Hernandez, who was picked up after allegedly driving erratically on a highway.

A New Jersey woman, who was given only months to live after receiving a fatal brain cancer diagnosis, experienced a miracle when she was offered the chance to try a new cell therapy.
Two years later, 65-year-old Pamela Goldberger is alive, healthy, and thriving after making the decision, following surgery, to take part in a clinical trial using dendritic cell therapy, Fox News reported.
In 2023, Goldberger was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a cancer that has a survival rate of 14 to 16 months, even with surgery. (Snip) After the MRI showed she had brain cancer, she was admitted to the hospital and scheduled for surgery,

Antisemitism has to be one of humanity's oldest and most irrational hatreds, but that doesn't mean it doesn't keep popping up. The latest example comes to us from Brooklyn, from a former organizer for Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) who, we should note, had nothing to do with the event. The former organizer, one Iman Abdul, took to her X account to call for an attack on a public high school attended by Jewish students.
A Brooklyn woman who worked as a youth organizer for “Squad” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was arrested Friday on charges she urged her 25,000 social media followers to “attack” a public high school because Jewish students attend it.

The rioter who threw cinderblocks at and injured Border Patrol agents during an ICE raid in June in Paramount, California, has been indicted by a federal grand jury.
Jacob Daniel Terrazas was charged with one count of assault on a federal employee by using a deadly and dangerous weapon resulting in bodily injury. If convicted, he would face a statutory maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison.
"We will not stand by while our brave federal agents and officers get hurt,” Acting United States Attorney Bill Essayli said. “If you injure an official enforcing immigration law, you may serve 20 years in a federal prison cell.
The Experts Bet Against Trump and Lost

For years, the self-anointed experts in economics have been catastrophically, almost comically wrong about Donald Trump’s tariff strategy. They were wrong during his first term, and he is proving them wrong again in his second.
They didn’t just miss the mark; they weren’t even aiming at the right target. Now, with new data and landmark trade agreements in hand, the world has every reason to demand accountability from the academic class that branded Trump’s trade policies as reckless economic self-sabotage.
Remember the parade of Nobel laureates and Ivy League economists lining up to denounce Trump’s tariffs as a singular threat to American prosperity?
The Democrat Party is in political free fall. Their approval ratings are sinking, their coalition is cracking, and the message they once rode to power no longer works. A recent Wall Street Journal poll found 63% of Americans now view the party unfavorably — the worst numbers the poll has recorded in three decades.
This wasn’t sudden. Democrats saw their decline coming — and instead of changing course, they rigged the system to survive it.
After the 2020 census, Democrat-run states didn’t redraw their maps — they obliterated them. Republican districts were axed. Competitive seats were split. What replaced them were Democrat fortresses,

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is once again rejecting any consideration for President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss terms for a ceasefire without his involvement. [Snip] Zelenskyy reacted, carrying the message from the global intelligence community who support the ongoing conflict,... Zelenskyy has banned opposition parties in Ukraine, taken control of media, targeted religious groups who he claims are subversive to his interests and cancelled elections in order to remain in power. Now Zelenskyy hides behind the claim of a constitution his regime modified in order to ensure he alone controls the pathways to peace.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy dismissed Saturday the planned summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, warning that any peace deal excluding Kyiv would lead to “dead solutions.”
The Trump-Putin meeting, scheduled for Friday in Alaska, is seen as a potential breakthrough.
Trump had previously agreed to meet with Putin even if the Russian leader would not meet with Zelenskyy, stoking fears Ukraine could be sidelined in efforts to stop the continent’s biggest conflict since World War II.
In a statement posted to Telegram, Zelenskyy said Ukraine’s territorial integrity, enshrined in the constitution, must be non-negotiable and emphasized that lasting peace must include Ukraine’s voice at the table.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has appointed a special prosecutor to investigate alleged mortgage fraud by Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and New York Attorney General Letitia James, several outlets reported Friday.
According to the New York Post, Bondi has tapped former acting U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C. Ed Martin to spearhead “the prosecution of James and Schiff for potential mortgage fraud, bank fraud and wire fraud, which carry jail terms of up to 30 years.” (sonp)Martin told the outlet. “For months DOJ and the FBI have been working on these two cases, it is my job to stick the landing.”

Explaining the Geyser of Jew-Hatred

Since the day that Israeli Jews were attacked, tortured, murdered, raped and burned to death on October 7, 2023, the entire world, save for a tiny minority, has vilified, excoriated, and blamed — ta-da! — the Jews! The victims!
Why? It’s really not that hard to figure out.
We live in a world of eight billion people, the vast majority of whom have never seen or spoken to or met a Jew...a Jew whose numbers constitute a microscopic 16 million, only half of that number in Israel, another approximate seven million in America, and about another million throughout the world.
Thomas Kolbe has written about the collapse of the German economy, something pretty shocking to those of us who remember when the German economy seemed unstoppable. What’s slammed the brakes on that juggernaut is central planning that revolves around the whole Green New Deal theory. Other European countries are doing the same. Spain and Portugal had a catastrophic power outage thanks to their green energy policies, and, in England, people are getting cold and dirty in a very 19th-century way because of the UK’s drive for “Net Zero.”
Had Kamala been elected last year, America would almost certainly have gone down that path, too.

The Week In Pictures: Green D*ldo Edition

Some important things happened this week. President Trump brought peace to a continent or two. The long-simmering Russia Collusion Hoax unraveled further. Controversy erupted over the Democrats’ disgraceful history of gerrymandering. Israel announced its intention to complete the pacification of Gaza. The Trump administration revoked the ridiculous CO2 endangerment finding. And more.
But the nation’s meme-creators mostly focused their attention elsewhere. President Trump took a walk on a sloped roof. South Park viciously parodied Trump, JD Vance and Kristi Noem. The now indisputably-Republican Sydney Sweeney remained a popular meme subject. And, above all, persons mostly unknown debuted a new sports tradition: throwing green d*ldos on to the court at WNBA games.

In the charred aftermath of Malibu’s January wildfires, one buyer has been moving in silence. While much of La Costa Beach remains a barren stretch of sand, a foreign investor has quietly acquired nine oceanfront lots — spending more than $65 million to secure some of the most coveted parcels along the Pacific Coast Highway, according to Realtor.com. Working through luxury agents Weston Littlefield and Alex Howe of the Weston James Group, the buyer is targeting properties with at least 40 feet of frontage, betting that once the coastline is rebuilt, demand from wealthy buyers will return in force.
