President Donald Trump on Wednesday celebrated progressive Abdul El-Sayed's win in the Michigan Democratic Senate primary, hailing it as a boon to Republicans. El-Sayed narrowly defeated Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich., in the Democratic primary. What had been expected to be a clear win for him, however, ended up being a close contest that the Associated Press did not call until Wednesday morning. He will face former Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., in the general election. Trump, for his part, suggested that El-Sayed's win was a benefit to Rogers.

FTA “President Donald Trump on Wednesday celebrated progressive Abdul El-Sayed's win in the Michigan Democratic Senate primary, hailing it as a boon to Republicans.” Why is El-Sayed called progressive? Because El-Sayed and his supporters, including Bernie Sanders and AOC, describe him as a progressive. How odd. So, now we have reached the point of political insanity in which an Islamist is accepted by the Left as a moral and political leader of vision in the United States. Apparently progressives have progressed to the point where canceling women’s rights, gay rights, the abolition of slavery, protection of Jews, the outlawing of cruel and unusual punishment, protecting children against sexual abuse, etc. is called progress. I hope Pres. Trump is right and the Muslim loses because this drift away from Western Civilization has got to stop.

Fetterman pointed out that the Islamo-Commie did not win a majority of Dem primary votes. Without the third candidate, he lost. He barely beat the mediocre other Dem by 1% when all the polls had him with a 10-20 point advantage.

I disagree. He and all the others need to be defeated in the primaries, need to be kept from even running. Great news? He's one step away from being a U.S. Senator and there's nothing great about that, no matter what the polls may indicate. And he's not going to go away after November.

Democrat voters in Michigan are jumping ship in droves after radical progressive Abdul El-Sayed narrowly clinched the Democratic Senate nomination Tuesday night. Even loyal MS NOW viewers and self-described liberals are openly declaring they will not vote for the socialist-backed candidate and will instead support Republican Mike Rogers in November. MS NOW host Chris Jansing herself reported the stunning defection: “And I want to tell you really quickly, as I was getting on the plane this morning, A guy who was a big fan of MSNOW said to me, ‘I’m anxious to see who wins… I voted for Haley Stevens … because of Israel.

UPDATE: NBC has officially called the Michigan Senate race for far-left Democratic Socialist Abdul El-Sayed. Islamo-Marxist Abdul El-Sayed appears on track to defeat the so-called moderate Democrat in the Michigan Democratic Primary for Senator. Stevens was backed by Michigan Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Senator Chuck Schumer. El-Sayed will now face former Rep. Mike Rogers, who ran unopposed in the GOP primary, in the November general election. El-Sayed has denied that he is a socialist, but he’s attended and spoken at at least six DSA events over the years, according to Fox. “I’m not technically or practically DSA,” he claimed in an interview last month. “I am not somebody who is a socialist.

The Spanish immigration crisis has exposed cracks in the European Union and an opportunity for right-wing leaders heading into elections next year in Spain, Italy and France. Last week, tens of thousands of migrants poured over the Spanish border at Ceuta, a North African exclave ruled by Spain since 1580. The small coastal city is situated on a narrow peninsula on the southern edge of the Strait of Gibraltar between Spain and Morocco — the only place where a European border touches Africa. Instead of fully backing Spain as they may have done in the past, more than 20 European leaders instead criticized —

The first fortnight of Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s government appears to indicate that his administration, like those before his, will once again be overshadowed by the migrant crisis in the English Channel, with over 2,000 illegals arriving on British shores since he took power just two weeks ago. A further 326 illegal migrants successfully crossed the Channel from the French coastline on Saturday in people-smuggler-coordinated small boats, taking the total number since Burnham was installed in Downing Street by the left-wing Labour Party last month to 2,057.

Former White House COVID Task Force Coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx threw Fauci under the bus after the former NIAID director refused to answer questions during last week’s senate hearing. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former NIAID director and face of America’s disastrous COVID response, finally appeared under subpoena last Wednesday morning before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. After enjoying his celebrity status and appearing on all of the networks during the Covid pandemic, all of a sudden Fauci shut his mouth and refused to explain his actions.

Even former high-ranking officials from the institutions of the European Union are beginning to speak out against the undemocratic regime of the unelected, untransparent, unaccountable European Commission -- especially under its senior bureaucrat, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. The European Commission was never meant to have any power beyond what its EU member states granted it.

Rupert Lowe has set out five conditions under which he could work with Nigel Farage, including restoring Britain’s borders, reversing the “Islamification” of Britain and holding a referendum on the death penalty. The Express has the story: The first thing that must be agreed upon in order for the two parties to work together, he said, is “restoring our borders”. Mr Lowe said: “Ending mass immigration is not enough. The hour is just too late for that. It must be reversed.” … Secondly, the parties must agree to restore Britain’s “demographic security”, suggesting that white Britons will become a minority later this century. Mr Lowe said:

Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman vowed to undo Gov. Kathy Hochul’s “oppressive” and “reckless” pied-à-terre tax if elected – as it was revealed the Big Apple plans to hire dozens of employees just to process the new fee. Blakeman, who’s currently serving as the elected Nassau County executive, issued a dire warning Thursday saying state Democratic Party policies will drive more New Yorkers out of the city, which already carries a 12.5% local tax burden, the third highest in the country. “This reckless tax will drive even more families, jobs, and investment out of our state, and middle-class New Yorkers will pay the price,” Blakeman said.

Gov. Abigail Spanberger, D-Va., announced that she has restored voting rights to 66,085 Virginians who had prior felony convictions. Virginia’s constitution doesn't allow convicted felons to vote after serving their sentences unless a governor restores their voting rights. “I’m proud that — after contending with my predecessor’s efforts to deny Virginians their fundamental rights — we have restored the rights of more than 66,000 Virginians who have served their time,” Spanberger said in a statement. “These Virginians deserve the right to use their vote, make their voices heard, and be recognized as contributing citizens to our Commonwealth and country.”

Democrats are never ones for context. They love to have reasons to pretend they are destroying corruption when they are really going after personal political opponents. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), for instance, had her warpaint and Tomahawk out as she screeched, “Is RFK Jr.'s son getting a cut of a $50 MILLION settlement that his dad could have influenced? I'm investigating.” Naturally, she needs something to investigate to avoid investigating Anthony Fauci and the pharmaceutical companies that pushed COVID vaccines that we now know, courtesy of Fauci‘s journal, were quite ineffective and sometimes injurious.

The repatriation of illegal aliens from the United States to wherever they came from is still ongoing, and it seems to be picking up. In July, reports indicate that Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests broke all previous records: 51,000. Bear in mind that this number also includes people arrested for interfering with ICE operations. Color me skeptical on that last item, especially coming as it does from a nameless immigration attorney. Here's the interesting part: At least one ally of President Trump on this issue is calling for a change in focus.

Host Bill Hemmer said, “I want to ask you about Iran. We had a Fox poll that came out about two weeks ago. We asked the question on the ultimate outcome with Iran. The U.S. will reach what good deal, bad deal or no deal. And 48% said no deal. What’s your view?” Pence said, “Well, I have more confidence in President Trump than that.

There’s a controversy in the Woman’s National Basketball League. The controversy is whether a transsexual man-to-woman player should be allowed to play. This controversy is currently a purely hypothetical one – there are no actual transexual players in the WNBA. But the question has been posed, should there be? We know that men have inherent physical advantages over women. They’re bigger and stronger. They have denser muscles, due primarily to their much greater testosterone levels. That muscle density makes them not only stronger but also faster, quicker and able to jump much higher.

U.S. Central Command said the “southern route of the Strait of Hormuz remains free and open” in a post on X, highlighting that it had assisted more than 1,000 vessels in transiting the waterway despite “unwarranted” Iranian aggression.

When Texas Children’s Hospital’s “detransition clinic” opens in Houston, it will become the first facility of its kind, giving patients who regret life-altering procedures a chance at restorative care. The facility, which has yet to announce an opening date, is part of an agreement with state and federal authorities to halt “gender-affirming care” at children’s hospitals while offering help to those who transitioned medically. A 10-page settlement term sheet, recently obtained by The Epoch Times through an open records request to the Texas attorney general’s office, showed that services at the clinic will focus on multidisciplinary care.

Given the unchecked flood of illegal immigration now taking place across the European continent and Britain, the headline above asks a valid question: Will Europe in the future exist only as a territory, but not as a civilization and a culture? Spain is the latest flashpoint in Europe’s battle to maintain control over its borders. Last week’s stunning border break in Ceuta, a North African enclave that has been part of Spain for over 400 years, should be a wake-up call for all of Europe and the U.S., too. More than 60,000 migrants crossed en masse, with at least 57 dying in the violent chaos of breaking through the border and swimming
