Debbie Wasserman Schultz Will Run in Majority-Black District in South Florida

Politico.com:

Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz has announced she is shifting her reelection campaign to a neighboring district with a longstanding history of being led by a Black representative — a move that immediately sparked a backlash from rivals seeking the seat and other Black elected officials. 

 

The announcement of her run in Florida’s 20th District, in deep-blue Broward County, follows state Republicans’ rare mid-decade redistricting, which made the district Wasserman Schultz lives in more competitive for a Republican. It comes just days before qualifying is scheduled to start for the 2026 elections. 

 

“You have always been able to count on me to deliver results for our community,” Wasserman Schultz said in a video announcement in which she touted her “seniority and clout” to help address affordability issues. The video also included interviews with Democratic elected officials and activists in the district who back her candidacy. The district Wasserman Schultz is seeking to represent was previously held by Democratic Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, who resigned from her seat in April following ethics and legal deliberations over allegations she denies that she stole federal emergency funds and routed them to her campaign.

So the same Democrat party that remain highly upset that the Virginia Supreme Court recently against their corrosive redistricting plan to help Democrats win up to four more US House seats and had no issue for 12-plus years in Tennessee with a white dude (Rep. Steve Cohen) re[resenting a majority black district, are now upset with Schultz for daring to run in a majority-black district in a different state. Talk about hypocrisy. Then too, what could also be garnering Democrats ire about Schultz is that Wasserman Schultz is jumping into race for Florida's D-20 seat vacated by Cherfilus-McCormick, yunno, the black Congresswoman who recently had to resign from the House over ethic and fraud violations. So that being said, with Democrats being such hypocrites when it comes to voting rights, race and resdistricting, I hope Schultz wins.

Gunman in Shooting Near White House Killed in Exchange of Fire with Secret Service

Mediaite.com:

A male shooter who opened fire on the White House with a pistol died at a local hospital after he exchanged fire with Secret Service, Fox News correspondent Alex Hogan reported on Saturday afternoon. 

 

Hogan reported the gunman died about two hours after firing three shots at the White House. President Donald Trump was inside the Oval Office and working on finalizing a deal to end the Iran war when the shooting took place. 

 

A bystander was also hit by a bullet, with Hogan reporting it was unclear if the bystander was shot by the gunman or during the shootout that followed between the shooter and Secret Service.

Guess you can count this one as the 4th attempted assassination of President Trump. Word has it too that the shooter in this case, 21yo Nasire Best, had previously attempted to inflitrate the White House multiple times and now he's dead.

DNI Head Tulsi Gabbard Resigns From Trump’s Cabinet

Mediaite.com:

Tulsi Gabbard is reportedly resigning as President Donald Trump’s Director of National Intelligence amid her husband’s battle with “an extremely rare form of bone cancer,” Fox News Digital first reported on Friday. 

 

The exclusive report from Fox’s Brooke Singman and Robert Schmad added that “Gabbard notified President Trump during a meeting in the Oval Office Friday.” 

 

Fox obtained Gabbard’s resignation letter to Trump, which said she was “deeply grateful for the trust you placed in me and for the opportunity to lead the Office of the Director of National Intelligence for the last year and a half.”

Best wishes to her husband, but throughout her term Tulsi was under so much scrutiny and undermining by Trump, I doubt that she would've ,ade it past teh 2-year nark anyway. That said, Gabbard's resignation makes 4 female members of Trump's cabinet who are no longer there, something the liberal press will surely grab onto and exploit.

Democrats Belatedly Publish 2024 Election Autopsy Report

TheGuardian.com:

The Democratic party has belatedly published a postmortem on its disastrous 2024 election defeat, after an initial decision to withhold the document triggered an angry backlash. 

 

Ken Martin, chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), released the report – which fails to mention Gaza or Joe Biden’s age – accompanied by an apology to party members angered by his initial decision to keep the analysis of Kamala Harris’s loss to Donald Trump and defeat in both houses of Congress under wraps. 

 

Martin had initially declined to publish the report, authored by a veteran Democratic strategist, Paul Rivera. He cited a need to focus on this year’s midterm elections and avoid re-opening old wounds. The decision backfired, leading to a crisis of confidence in Martin’s leadership among senior Democrats and accusations that he was keeping the findings secret.

This autopsy got delayed because Black Democrat voters and their leaders in the professional race-baiter punditry/Democrats shill squad you see on cable news networks like CNN and MSNOW, don't want to be reminded of how much of an empty vessel and 2-time loser Kamala Harris is. That said, any autopsy that doesn't mention Gaza, Israel, a senile Joe Biden's decision to run for re-election, no Democrat primary or Harris' embracing Never Trumpers/warmongers like Liz Cheney on the campaign trail, shouldn't be taken seriously.

Trump-Backed Ed Gallrein Defeats Rep. Thomas Massie in GOP Primary

PBS.org:

Ed Gallrein, a Republican candidate backed by President Donald Trump, defeated Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie in GOP primary Tuesday. The result showed the president's persisting influence over GOP voters, adding to a growing number of Trump-backed primary challengers to defeat Republican lawmakers who angered him in his second term. 

 

Massie, who has served in Congress since 2012, fell into Trump's crosshairs in part by pushing for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files and denouncing the war in Iran. 

 

Gallrein, a former Navy Seal who avoided making public appearances on the campaign trail, ran on his military service and loyalty to the president. He accused Massie of forsaking Trump and the party. Gallrein is expected to win the general election in the deeply red district.

Massie’s made three major missteps that damaged his standing across the political spectrum and earned him his loss last night. First, he reportedly alienated many Trump supporters by aggressively promoting unproven Epstein-related conspiracy claims that he ultimately failed to substantiate, creating the impression that he was chasing social media attention and inadvertently aiding Democrats rather than focusing on verified facts. Second, he lost credibility with some non-Trump conservatives and independents who had previously admired his principled positions but were uncomfortable with his perceived alignment with figures viewed as anti-Semitic extremists. Finally, he underestimated how Republican voters in Kentucky would react to his lack of concern about the Epstein files during Joe Biden’s presidency, as well as his willingness to work alongside Democratic lawmakers such as Ro Khanna, which they saw as being driven more by personal animus toward President Trump than advancing conservative priorities.

Luigi Mangione Fangirls Unapologetically Celebrate CEO’s Assassination: ‘F—k Brian Thompson’

NYPost.com:

Their Luigimania earned them a pass. A trio of bloodthirsty fans of accused assassin Luigi Mangione — who were granted press passes by City Hall — spouted vile hate and unapologetic calls for political violence from a Manhattan courthouse steps Monday. 

 

Mangione fangirls Abril Rios, Ashley Rojas and Lena Weissbrot proudly showed off the passes they received for their respective Substacks documenting Mangione’s upcoming trial for the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. But the “reporters” made no bones about supporting Mangione’s alleged vendetta to strike fear into the hearts of healthcare executives such as Thompson. 

 

“F—k Brian Thompson,” Rojas said. “That’s all I want to say. F—k Brian Thompson. F—k his mom.” Weissbort chimed in with an even more reprehensible response. “His children are better off without him,” she said. “They need to learn to not be like their dad. And enjoy the blood money, kids. “He’s responsible for more deaths than Osama bin Laden, and I remember Americans celebrating when Osama bin Laden was killed. It’s not like we don’t understand heroic violence, or, like, when violence is good.”

Depraved. Sick. Downright evil. Any one of those words — or all three — fits these so-called Luigi Mangione “fangirls” openly celebrating the cold-blooded murder of a husband and father. No decent human being would applaud an act like this, and the fact that some of these women hold press credentials makes their behavior even more disturbing. Protest healthcare policies, lobby for reform, run for office, or support causes you believe in — that’s how civilized people push for change. But the moment you celebrate political violence or murder because it targets someone you dislike, you cross a moral line. Violence should never be the answer, and anyone cheering it on reveals something deeply rotten about their character.

Democrat Colorado Governor Commutes Trump Ally Tina Peters' Prison Sentence for Voting Machine Tampering

CBSNews.com:

Democratic Colorado Gov. Jared Polis on Friday announced he is commuting the sentence of former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, who was facing more than eight years in state prison for allowing unauthorized access to voting machines following the 2020 presidential election. 

 

Polis' decision — which was swiftly condemned by other Colorado Democrats — follows months of pressure from President Trump to release Peters, who has promoted Mr. Trump's false claims of widespread fraud in the 2020 election. The president had threatened "harsh measures" if Colorado did not free Peters from prison. 

 

The governor told CBS News Colorado's Karen Morfitt in an interview he decided to commute Peters' sentence because her long prison term was "very unusual for a first-time nonviolent offender." Polis also said he agreed with an appellate court ruling last month that found the judge who sentenced Peters had put too much weight on her beliefs about election fraud, which are a form of protected speech. "She has crazy viewpoints, conspiratorial viewpoints that are not accurate, not true. But that is not a crime in our country or in our state," Polis said, adding that Peters apologized and "I think as a state, we need to move past this."

The framing from the msm regarding Peters, that she was an '2020 election denier' and THAT was the reason she got locked up was made to mislead voters. In fact, Peters was originally sentenced to 9 years in prison for a 2021 election security breach. And while the Colorado Court of Appeals upheld former Mesa County clerk Peters’ convictions, the panel sharply criticized how District Court Judge Matthew Barrett handled her sentencing. Hell, even the Associated Press, noted concerns during January arguments that Barrett had overstepped by allowing Peters’ political views and protected speech to influence her punishment. The appeals judges suggested the sentence exceeded what the crimes warranted and implied Peters was penalized for expressing constitutionally protected beliefs. However, the court ruled it lacked authority to order her release, stating such relief must instead be pursued through a habeas corpus petition in the original sentencing court. And then, surprisingly enough Polis stepped in, commuted her sentence and now Peters (a now 71yo women with no criminal record beforehand) will be out in June.

CIA Whistleblower James Erdman says Anthony Fauci Influenced COVID Origins Intelligence Probe in Alleged Lab Leak Cover-Up

NYPost.com:

A CIA whistleblower appeared publicly for the first time Wednesday to testify to a Senate panel that Dr. Anthony Fauci improperly “influenced” intelligence analyses about the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic — to downplay findings that it most likely resulted from a laboratory accident in China. 

 

Special operations officer James Erdman III delivered his testimony about the wide-ranging “cover-up” after being subpoenaed by the Senate Homeland Security Committee — and against his own agency’s wishes. 

 

“Dr. Fauci’s role in the cover-up was intentional,” Erdman testified, saying the then-director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) meddled in COVID origins analyses by providing “a conflicted list of curated subject matter experts, public health officials and scientists” to the US Intelligence Community (IC). Those included several scientists who joined a February 2020 teleconference that ultimately produced a widely-discredited scientific paper, “The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2,” downplaying the lab leak theory.

The real scandal surrounding COVID’s origins was not direct CIA involvement in creating the virus, but rather the willingness of powerful bureaucracies to protect themselves and suppress scrutiny. Fauci and allied officials pressured agencies to downplay the lab-leak theory in order to conceal their own potential responsibility, despite the enormous consequences of the cover-up. This effort fueled censorship, political smears, public misinformation, and policies that damaged education, small businesses, and global economies while enriching major corporations. In other words, Fauci used his influence over billions in research funding to shape science, reward allies, and support risky research connected to the pandemic’s likely source.

Kouri Richins Sentenced to Life in Prison Without Parole for the Murder of Her Husband

NYTimes.com:

A Utah mother of three, who wrote a children’s book about grief after murdering her husband, received a sentence of life in prison without parole on Wednesday. 

 

Kouri Richins, 36, also faced convictions and consecutive sentences on four other charges — attempted murder, two counts of falsifying insurance claims and one count of forgery. 

 

“A person convicted of those things is simply too dangerous to ever be free,” Judge Richard Mrazik said. Prosecutors had argued that Ms. Richins had poisoned her husband, Eric Richins, in 2022 to inherit more than $4 million from him and receive about $2 million from life insurance policies that she had opened without his knowledge.

Nice to see a just sentence for murder as the judge cited the severity and calculated nature of the crime as reasons why Richins should never be free again. Of course, this dastardly evil woman will appeal, but for now the world is a better place with Richins locked up.
