Here’s How the Left Reacts When a House Dem Says Only Citizens Should Vote

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democrats heckled and booed a Democrat congresswoman from Washington state for backing a proposal to prevent noncitizens from voting in U.S. elections.

Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, a second term U.S. House member, was unable to say much when she held a town hall event in Vancouver, Washington, Thursday night, both CNN and CBS affiliate KOIN 6 News reported.

Gluesenkamp Perez voted for the SAVE Act, short for the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, which passed with the support of all House Republicans but only four Democrats. The bill would require proof of citizenship when registering to vote.

The fiery town hall event offered a glimpse at how moderate Democrats are dealing with an increasingly leftward surging base.

The town hall was raucous enough that a Gluesenkamp Perez staffer said they had to get the congresswoman out of the area for “security reasons” when a KOIN 6 News reporter asked for a brief interview.

During the town hall, as constituents shouted, the congresswoman tried to explain her vote on the legislation.

“Americans believe that only U.S. citizens should be determining the outcome of American elections,” Gluesenkamp Perez said. “And any idea that I am standing to disenfranchise people is patently false.” (Read more from “Here’s How the Left Reacts When a House Dem Says Only Citizens Should Vote” HERE)

What Did Pete Buttgieg Just Say About Adopting Non-White Kids?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg had an awkward slip of the tongue. It was that or he tried to be fast and loose with Andrew Schulz and company when discussing his family, claiming that adopting black kids comes at a discount. He quickly clarified before saying there was no deposit. The former mayor and 2020 presidential candidate, along with his husband, have adopted fraternal twins, which is how this topic came up, along with a lecture about race in America.

I’m adopted, and I have two white parents—this ‘how do I raise my kids that are racially different than me’ bulls**t never came up. And when you focus on that, which is what all Democrats do because they’re race-obsessed, you end up being cringy, getting offended about everything, and flat-out saying some pretty offensive stuff, like ‘them black kiddos come at a discount because America—bad, or something.’

Trump Signals Step Back On China Tariffs, Says They’ll ‘Come Down Substantially’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump signaled Tuesday evening from the Oval Office that the U.S. will ease tariffs on China, saying they’ll “come down substantially” but won’t be eliminated entirely.

On April 2, Trump announced reciprocal tariffs on several countries, with higher rates for nations like China due to their own trade barriers against the U.S. When asked Tuesday about the tariffs against the foreign country, Trump said that the 145% hit would not last forever.

“It’ll come down substantially, but it won’t be zero. It used to be zero,” Trump said. “We were just destroyed. China was taking us for a ride and just not going to — it’s not going to happen. We’re going to be very good to China. I have a great relationship with President Xi, but they would make billions and billions and billions of dollars a year, and they were building a military out of the United States on what they made.”

By April 10, the White House said that Trump’s announced 125% tariff would actually total 145% on all Chinese imports, according to The New York Times. The administration said the 125% would be added on top of a previously announced 20% tariff already in place on goods from China, the outlet reported.

“So that won’t happen. But they’re going to do very well, and I think they’re going to be happy, and I think we’re going to live together very happily and ideally work together. So I think it’s going to work out very well, but, no, it’s at 145%. It will not be anywhere near that number,” Trump said.

Senator Confirms Taxpayers Funded His Meeting With Alleged MS-13 Gangbanger

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Democratic Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen confirmed Sunday that his trip to El Salvador to try to secure the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a deported illegal immigrant with alleged ties to MS-13, was funded by U.S. taxpayer dollars.

Van Hollen made the admission during an interview on Fox News Sunday with Shannon Bream.

When pressed by Bream about who paid for the trip, Van Hollen said it was an “officially cleared, you know, congressional trip.”

“So taxpayer dollars?” Bream questioned.

“Yes, like every other trip,” Van Hollen replied.

‘Let RFK Try To Help Us’: Families Of Severely Autistic Americans Come To Kennedy’s Defense

/0 Comments/in , /by

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced this past week that he’s commissioning a series of studies to investigate potential environmental causes for autism, and underscored how the rate of autism, including severe autism, is continuing to increase.

Speaking specifically of severe cases of autism, RFK Jr. noted that some children may never grow up to play baseball or even use the bathroom by themselves.

Some Democrat politicians, like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (MA) and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, criticized Kennedy for allegedly standing against people with autism. RFK, however, was met with support from family members of Americans who suffer from severe autism.

“I am not an RFK jr. fan but he just described children with what some would call ‘profound’ or ‘severe’ autism at a press conference and I have already seen so much pushback about how ‘their kid who has autism isn’t like that’ and like……….congratulations???? mine is,” one X user posted.

“For my daughter, autism is not a super power. It makes her life very difficult. She struggles to communicate her needs, it’s hard for her to participate in things with other children. I am not a conspiracy theorist, I am not anti vax, and ‘love on the spectrum’ is not my life,” she continued. “Like on one side you have people telling you that your kid’s disability essentially isn’t that big of a deal and on another they’re saying, ‘We believe you.’ Even if I disagree with their conclusions, they have empathy for me. For my child.”

MSNBC Did This Before Trump Revealed More About That Deported Illegal Alien’s MS-13 Ties

/0 Comments/in , /by

We don’t hate the media enough. The narrative they spent days manufacturing about Abrego Garcia not being an MS-13 member imploded this week. It couldn’t come at a better time: Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) went to El Salvador to try and bust him out, Patty Morin, the mother of Rachel Morin, who was murdered in August of 2023 by an illegal, was the White House special guest in the press room this week, and we learned Garcia’s wife filed a protection order against him in 2021. The Democrats and their allies in the media went all-in defending a wife-beating MS-13 member who was here illegally and got deported. . .

It gets better: President Trump was about to reveal what Garcia’s hand tattoos spell out. Reportedly, his wife is now covering up these signs because they spell out his affiliation with MS-13. For those who watch MSNBC, you might not know this because the network cut away before the president dropped this revelation:

Suspected FSU Shooter Seen in Terrifying Video Firing Away on Campus as Bystanders Flee

/0 Comments/in , /by

Terrifying footage taken during the chaos of the Florida State University Tallahassee shooting shows a gunman marching up and down a campus green and firing a handgun at fleeing students – while a victim lies slumped and bloodied in the grass nearby.

The shooter appeared to be armed with a handgun, which rang out with rapid shots as screaming students ducked for cover, the video circulating on social media shows.

Other clips appeared to show the wounded individual alive and later being helped by police.

The videos are just the latest scenes of carnage and terror coming out the school, where a lone gunman opened up on seemingly random people near the student union just after noon Thursday.

At least two people are confirmed dead, while five more are wounded. (Read more from “Suspected FSU Shooter Seen in Terrifying Video Firing Away on Campus as Bystanders Flee” HERE)

RFK Says ‘We Know’ Environmental Toxins Are Causing Autism Epidemic

/0 Comments/in , /by

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said during a press conference on Wednesday that the autism epidemic is caused by environmental toxins, and is commissioning a series of studies on numerous toxins.

Kennedy specifically cited mold, pesticides, other food chemicals, and medicines as potential toxins contributing to the epidemic. He also suggested ultrasound scans could be a factor, given the timing of such technological advances.

“This is a preventable disease,” the secretary said. “We know it’s environmental exposure. It has to be. Genes do not cause epidemics. It can provide a vulnerability, but you need an environmental toxin.”

“We’re going to announce a series of new studies to identify precisely what the environmental toxins are that are causing it,” Kennedy added. “This has not been done before. And we’re going to do it in a thorough and comprehensive way, and we’re gonna get back with an answer to the American people very, very quickly.”

Dr. Walter Zahorodny, an associate professor at the Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, joined RFK at the presser and emphasized that the rise in autism cases cannot be attributed to better diagnosis alone. (Read more from “RFK Says ‘We Know’ Environmental Toxins Are Causing Autism Epidemic” HERE)

Trump Repeatedly Insults CNN Reporter in Oval Office Over Deportation of El Salvadoran National: ‘Why Can’t You Just Say That?’ (VIDEO)

/9 Comments/in , , /by

President Trump took several shots at CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins as she peppered him with questions in the Oval Office Monday over the wrongful deportation of an El Salvadoran national who the US Supreme Court ruled should be returned to the United States for now.

Trump repeatedly needled Collins, who is also the network’s White House correspondent, including calling her a “low-rated anchor” and slamming CNN’s credibility as he took questions alongside El Salvador President Nayib Bukele.

Collins wanted answers about the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who was removed to the Center for Terrorism Confinement (CECOT), the Central American country’s hellhole megaprison, last month under the 18th-century Alien Enemies Act.

The Trump administration has claimed Abrego Garcia was a member of the violent MS-13 gang, but the US Supreme Court directed the White House to “facilitate” his release from the prison on April 10.

Then Trump tapped Homeland Security Adviser Stephen Miller to speak up while taking another shot at Collins’ employer. (Read more from “Trump Repeatedly Insults CNN Reporter in Oval Office Over Deportation of El Salvadoran National: ‘Why Can’t You Just Say That?’” HERE)

Pilot of Doomed Hudson River Helicopter ID’d as Navy SEAL Vet Who Had Posted Heart-Wrenching Video Month Before Death

/2 Comments/in , , /by

The pilot of the doomed helicopter that crashed into the Hudson River was a Navy SEAL veteran — and posted a chilling video of himself last month proudly flying in the same type of chopper over Lower Manhattan.

“When it all comes together…,” Sean Johnson, 36, wrote next to the now-eerie Facebook footage, which showed him in a Bell 206 helicopter March 27.

Friends congratulated him in their comments, with one telling him he was “living the dream” and another praising his accomplishments over the past year.

Johnson had worked in television and as a bodyguard to celebrities before recently moved to New York City to continue his aviation career, Gothamist reported, citing his wife.

It’s unclear if the chopper he was flying in the Facebook footage was the same helicopter he was operating this week when it crashed, killing him and the five tourists.
