Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sent out a fundraising email in mid-November asking supporters to chip in "$5 or anything you can" to spread holiday joy across New York City ahead of Thanksgiving, calling on donors to help pay for turkeys for needy families. But instead of directing donors to local charities coordinating turkey drives, as she did in years past, the appeal funneled contributions straight into her campaign account through ActBlue, raising serious legal and ethical red flags. According to a report from the New York Post, “clicking on the contribution link sends people directly to a campaign fundraising page operated by ActBlue,

Okay, so here's the first loose end to get hold of. Where is the Justice Department? Sounds like major election campaign fraud to me. Next up: pivot to CommiDamni.

Thursday’s jobs report suggests the US economy is much stronger than expected — but California lags behind the rest of the nation. Delayed over six weeks by the government shutdown, the report showed that the US economy created 119,000 jobs in September. That blew away economists’ consensus prediction of just 50,000, since summer months usually see slow job growth. Sure seems a sign “the Trump economic policies are actually working,” as Vice President JD Vance put it. Not so, the progressive economic policies of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s California. The Golden State has had the nation’s highest unemployment rate for several months running.

The 26-year-old woman who cops said was set on fire by a lunatic with a lengthy rap sheet on a Chicago L train earlier this month has been identified as Bethany MaGee. “It is devastating that a career criminal with 72 PRIOR ARRESTS is now accused of attacking 26-year-old Bethany MaGee on Chicago’s L train, and setting her on fire,” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said on social media Sunday. “This would never have happened if this thug had been behind bars. Yet Chicago lets repeat offenders roam the streets,” Duffy said of suspect Lawrence Reed, 50, who is facing federal terrorism charges in connection with the senseless fire attack.

Arizona laws that distance sex offenders from schools didn’t stop a felon just released from prison from entering a Phoenix elementary and posing as a doctor so he could allegedly sexually assault a 10-year-old girl. Abel Kai Gblah, 25, is accused of sexual assault and kidnapping after he showed up at the Orangewood Elementary School around noon and pretended to be a physician to entice the student into an empty classroom and assault her on November 19, according to the Phoenix Police Department (PPD). Prison officials released Gblah only two weeks ago, Fox 10 reported. Gblah also was involved in the alleged smuggling of people across the border into the United States,

A U.S. Department of Justice employee has been hit with state terrorism charges after allegedly doxxing a federal agent during a border raid. This week, investigators with the Cameron County District Attorney’s Office arrested Karen Olvera De Leon on charges stemming from a criminal indictment. Olvera De Leon is an employee with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Texas in Brownsville and is charged with one count of terrorism and one count of tampering with physical evidence. According to information provided to Breitbart Texas by Cameron County District Attorney Luis Saenz, the case began on June 9, when federal agents conducted a raid in Brownsville.

On Instagram, there were numerous angry posts last Friday reporting that in McMinnville, in Yamhill County, Oregon, ICE detained a 17-year-old high-school student who is a U.S. citizen during the lunch period. Of course, there is much more to the story, but liberals were up in arms, asking how this could be America and comparing it to Hitler. The posts all implied he was arrested at school. The school district confirmed that the arrest occurred off campus and that no ICE agents entered school property. Later reports claimed that ICE had smashed his car window.

In a 3-2 ruling on Friday, the North Dakota Supreme Court reinstated a near-total abortion ban with limited exceptions, deeming that it adhered to the state's constitution. The law was first instituted through a trigger ban after the 2022 overturn of Roe v. Wade, with the United States Supreme Court decision on Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health. In 2023, the North Dakota legislature repealed the trigger ban, passing another bill that mirrored the ban with exceptions for the life and health of the mother, and within the first six weeks of pregnancy in cases of rape or incest.

There is a sickness loose in American culture—one far more corrosive than policy disagreements or spirited debate. It’s the worldview, proudly embraced and increasingly celebrated on the political left, that violence against innocent people is perfectly acceptable—so long as it moves their agenda forward or harms their opponents. And the evidence of this moral rot is no longer anecdotal, subtle, or theoretical. It is loud, explicit, and proudly broadcast in broad daylight. Look at Chicago—where violent mobs surged into the downtown area, leaving eight people shot and one dead. The footage is chaotic, heartbreaking, and infuriating. Families ran for cover, small businesses were destroyed,

In the wake of New York City electing itself a real live communist for mayor earlier this month, Rep. María Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.) introduced a non-binding resolution to Congress this past week called "Denouncing the horrors of socialism." That means it doesn't create any sort of real law — it's largely symbolic, with the intention of affirming "that the United States rejects socialism and opposes the implementation of socialist policies that threaten the freedoms and prosperity that define our nation." Voting in favor of it should have been a no-brainer. It was for Republicans, at least: 199 voted in favor of it, with zero voting against.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-Climate Hoax) is enraged at President Donald Trump and his administration, but not for the usual Orange-Man-Bad-is-a-fascist-who-is-taking-away-Our-Democracy reasons. No, Whitehouse deserves credit for originality: he has found an entirely new reason to hate Trump, blazing trails for his fellow leftists. The man is that rarest of things among politicians, particularly leftist ones: an innovator. Fox News reported Friday that the selfless public servant Whitehouse “spoke at a press conference on the House side of the Capitol Thursday with the blessing of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y.”

It’s another day ending in “y,” so it’s another day when a federal judge jumps in to thwart the Trump administration. On Monday, Judge Cameron McGowan Currie tossed the cases against Former FBI Director James Comey and current New York Attorney General Letitia James, ruling that Attorney General Pam Bondi's appointment of Lindsey Halligan as interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia was invalid. The Department of Justice is almost certain to appeal the ruling. Meanwhile, the case was dismissed without prejudice, meaning the charges could still be refiled, although in the case of Comey, that may be in doubt given that the statute of limitations has since run.

First, I am not a doctor, but I have medical experience in Respiratory Therapy. When the COVID-19 “Flu” emerged, I knew that an effective vaccine could not have been manufactured and tested effectively in that amount of time. I also knew that the 6-foot distancing rule was nothing more than political and social theatre. The mask fiasco was not only unnecessary, but it created more problems than it solved. Rebreathing damp, contaminated carbon dioxide-laden (CO2) air can lead to hypercapnia and even hypoxia. For these reasons, neither my better half nor I received the jab or ever wore a mask, and when we did experience the COVID “flu,” it lasted

The socialist pol said he’s eager to work with Trump because they agreed that the Big Apple needs to be more affordable at their surprisingly chummy meeting Friday. “What I appreciated about the conversation that I had with the president was that we were not shy about the places of disagreement,” he said. “

It ain’t so much the things we don’t know that — Mark Twain (attributed) What’s the one thing everyone knows about capitalism? Why, that it started out as a mean, nasty tool of greedy industrialists, of course. “The Industrial Revolution,” we all learned, was a terrible Moloch that devoured children, put profits before people, and, though it made great fortunes (or, perhaps, partly because it made great fortunes), was a wicked development. The Industrial Revolution, we’ve all been taught, was the original sin of capitalism, necessary, perhaps, to prime the engine of economic progress, but lamentable nevertheless.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is laying down the law for Bill and Hillary Clinton: show up in person for depositions in the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking investigation, or face prison. Comer warned the former president and his twice-failed presidential candidate wife that dodging these subpoenas with written answers will not cut it—it's a clear no-go, and could invite contempt of Congress charges. Originally subpoenaed in August, the Clintons asked their lawyer to request that the committee accept written statements rather than require them to sit for live depositions. Their attorney, David Kendall, claimed that written answers would be the “most efficient and equitable” approach. Comer shot that down.

In 2018, as California was laying the groundwork to build a new 911 system for the state, a massive fire ripped through Butte County, decimating several Northern California communities and killing over 80 people. The devastating Camp Fire, which wiped out cell towers and hampered emergency communication during critical hours, was on everyone’s minds as the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services worked to design the state’s future emergency communication system. Between 2019 and 2025, California paid four technology companies over $450 million to build out its Next Generation 911 system, But when the time came to turn that system on, it didn’t work.
