Month: May 2024

Republicans will need a well-defined strategy to defeat the fraud we witnessed in the 2020 election: Ballot stuffing in Georgia, late-night drops in Detroit, and blocking GOP observers in Michigan.

Since November 3, 2020, no one has provided as explosive, honest and courageous reporting on the stolen 2020 election as The Gateway Pundit website.

The Gateway Pundit provided exclusive videos of late-night ballot deliveries. We revealed unexplainable ballot totals and impossible ballot ratios. The Gateway Pundit provided criminal stuffing of drop boxes and police reports of massive ballot registration fraud. And TGP reported on thousands of unverified ballots being stuffed through machines.

It was The Gateway Pundit that also provided hard evidence of election workers crashing into a counting room after observers were removed and running stacks of ballots through the machines three and four times each.

The tyrannical left hated us for this. The threatened elites used lawfare in an attempt to silence The Gateway Pundit.

On Tuesday, Wall Street Apes posted a video of a very well-informed New York voter and Trump supporter speaking with a New York Times reporter.

During the interview, the MAGA New Yorker schooled the NY Times reporter on issue after issue.

Here is the full video. The transcript is below:

Native New Yorkers Aren’t Holding Back. Ex Barack Obama Voter Tells The Media They Will Not Tolerate Another Stolen Election

One of the most epic interviews ever

Here is part of the transcript.

“You guys are going to see in 2024 when there’s a Red Wave and there’s a landslide, what’s going to happen. And if you guys try it again with what happened with the last election, with the cheating and the changing the votes at three o’clock in the morning. The suitcases coming in people running both through the machines more than once we’re tired of it. We’re done

We’re voting for Trump. We’re gonna we’re gonna be voting red all the way down ticket.”

Illegal Immigrants “They get a check, they get a phone. While people in this country are starving, barely able to make it, yet again, not you in particular, but your organization likes to paint a false narrative. And we’re tired of it. Yeah. American people are tired of it”

“A lot of people feel the same way that I do but we get ostracized if you say anything right you think because it’s New York and yeah I mean listen you can be black you can be Hispanic and you’ll be considered a white supremacist if you agree with Trump

You guys are ridiculous.”

— “The biggest issue is the border. We can’t support these people. You have this moronic mayor that we have here in New York City. He wants to hire illegals to be lifeguards.

This is clown world that we’re in right now.”

— “Everything that was made up about this guy was a lie. The so-called, what was it, the piss tape from Russia. Oh, he had hookers pissing on him in a hotel room. It was all false. Hillary Clinton paid for that tape, if I’m not mistaken. It’s all BS, and people are tired of it. The veil is being lifted, and you guys are gonna see in November when we go to the polls.”

“You guys are gonna get your feelings hurt badly. And you know what? I can’t wait, because I’m gonna stand outside in Manhattan with my coffee mug, and I’m gonna let the liberal tears just drip into my coffee, and I’m gonna take a nice sip of it.”

From the interview, you can tell this informed voter knows what happened in Georgia late at night on Election Day 2020 – “And if you guys try it again with what happened with the last election, with the cheating and the changing the votes at three o’clock in the morning. The suitcases coming in people running both through the machines more than once we’re tired of it. We’re done.”

The man is talking about the famous vote fraud video in Fulton County, Georgia, on election night.

Anyone who saw the video came away with the same conviction: What they saw was wrong, and what they saw was cheating.

Today, The Gateway Pundit, Jim Hoft, and Joe Hoft are being sued by the tyrannical left for exposing this video from Georgia.

We are being punished by the regime for showing the truth to the American public.

We cannot say much today as this case continues. But someday, we will speak LOUDLY and we will share the TRUTH.

This is why the left attempts to ruin us and silence us.

We will not back down. We will always speak the truth to you, our readers, and for our blessed America.

As the political landscape of Texas continues to evolve, one name has been making waves and capturing the attention of both sides of the aisle: Tony Gonzales. With his recent victory in the race for Texas’ 23rd Congressional District, Gonzales has quickly become a rising star in the Lone Star State’s political scene. But what makes this former Navy cryptologist turned candidate so unique and promising? Let’s take a closer look at his journey and what the future may hold for him and Texas as a whole.

Born and raised in San Antonio, Gonzales comes from a humble background, growing up in a working-class family. His upbringing instilled in him a strong sense of patriotism and a desire to serve his country, leading him to enlist in the Navy after graduating high school. This decision not only solidified his love for America but also laid the foundation for his future in politics.

After serving his country for 20 years, Gonzales decided to continue his service in a different capacity by running for Congress. In a crowded field of candidates, his message of “serving those who served” resonated with voters, earning him the Republican nomination and ultimately the victory in the general election. But Gonzales’ story is far from over, as he now sets his sights on making a meaningful impact in Congress and representing the people of Texas with integrity and dedication.

One of the key factors that sets Gonzales apart from other politicians is his focus on bringing people together, rather than driving them apart. In a time of heightened division and political polarization, he has made it his mission to bridge the gap and find common ground among his constituents. This approach has already garnered him praise and admiration from both sides of the political spectrum, and has the potential to unite Texas in a powerful way.

Remember #tx23 today you can make history by making Tony Gonzalez history. @TheAKGuy is your conservative fighter for tomorrow, a man of the people, from the people. He is the epitome of hardwork, dedication, and putting his literal money where is mouth is, FOR YEARS. He stands… https://t.co/bONq5K9qIK

In addition to his inclusive mindset, Gonzales also brings a fresh perspective to the political arena. With his background in the military and his experience as a small business owner, he understands the struggles and needs of everyday Americans. This perspective will undoubtedly inform his decision-making and make him a strong advocate for the people he represents.

As Gonzales begins his journey in Congress, there is no doubt that he will be a force to be reckoned with. Not only does he possess the qualities of a strong leader, but he also has a deep connection to his roots and a genuine desire to serve his community. With his eye on the future and a commitment to putting people above politics, the potential for positive change under his leadership is limitless.

But perhaps what is most exciting about Gonzales’ rise in Texas politics is the message it sends to the rest of the country. As a state that is often seen as a stronghold for one party, his victory shows that a new wave of diverse and inclusive leaders is on the rise, ready to shake up the traditional political landscape. And with his passion for serving others and his unwavering dedication to America, Tony Gonzales is undoubtedly at the forefront of this movement.

In conclusion, the emergence of Tony Gonzales and his victory in the Texas congressional race marks the beginning of a new chapter in state politics. With his unique background, inclusive mindset, and genuine desire to make a difference, he has the potential to become a true game-changer in the years to come. So keep an eye out for this rising star, as he continues to unleash the power of patriotism and shape the future of Texas politics for the better.

Boston 25’s morning news anchor Vanessa Welch appeared to swallow a fly after it fell into her mouth while she was live on air.

The anchor did not miss a beat as viewers watched what appeared to be a fly or a large clump of eyelashes fall from her eye to her mouth.

Though she kept going with her report, the anchor did appear to involuntarily wince as she consumed it.

On Boston25, the news anchor demonstrated true journalistic professionalism: she swallowed a fly and continued to broadcast asnothing had happened. pic.twitter.com/v9Chc1R8QI

Comments on social media ranged from impressed with her professionalism, to horrified.

Decider reports:

“That is professionalism right there,” wrote one Instagram user, while another commented: “Nah she needs a raise, she didn’t even bat an eye (Well she sorta did)”

Another user wrote: “I have NEVER seen that level of professionalism DAMN,” while another shared: “My natural instinct would have kicked in straight away and I’d have been a screaming wreck flipping tables and spitting that damn thing out my mouth.”

Some viewers are speculating that it was just a clump of a fake eyelash that Welch may have been wearing.

“Losing an eyelash is already embarrassing, but swallowing it on live TV? That’s next-level awkward!” commented one user, while two others wrote: “Tell me that was an eyelash, tell me that was an eyelash,” and “Guys. It was just a cluster lash that fell off.”

Welch has not publicly confirmed whether it was a fly or another unidentified falling object.

Especially after Brexit, to talk about the European Union was to talk about Franco-German relations, about the two powerhouses that propelled the continent forward.

But now, mere days before European Elections that are expected to show conservatives forces obliterating the Globalist governments of these nations, Politico reports on how French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz are looking like ‘lame ducks’ to the rest of the Union, and how new European players look to fill the leadership vacuum.

“With the European election less than two weeks away, France’s Emmanuel Macron is in Berlin on Tuesday as part of a show of Franco-German unity. According to a French official, Macron aims to ‘set the agenda’ and ‘lay out strategic priorities’ for Europe’s future alongside his German counterpart, Olaf Scholz, during the visit.”

The ‘engine’ of the EU project is not in charge anymore.

Macron was kicked out of Africa, and is expected to losse bigly to Marine Le Pen’s RN party.

“It’s not just that Macron and Scholz have a notoriously icy personal relationship. Or that officials in Paris and Berlin gleefully brief against one another, with the French accusing the Germans of being narrow-minded and hidebound by their coalition — and the Germans saying France is full of nonsense (or something else) on Ukraine. It’s not even that, on key issues like energy, Paris and Berlin are hopelessly at odds.”

Macron and Scholz are politically weakened at home and lack a shared vision for the union.

“Both preside over lackluster economies. Both face humiliating defeats at the hands of far-right parties ahead of the June 6-9 European Parliament election. In Macron’s case, polls suggest the election could be a rout, with Marine Le Pen’s National Rally party potentially trouncing his centrist Renaissance group by 16 percentage points. Scholz’ Socialists also look in danger of being beaten into a humiliating third place by the hard right.”

The slowing economies and the lack of mutual appreciation undermine any negotiations after the European Parliament elections, so the EU top jobs race are way less predictable.

Macron snubbed Ursula von der Leyen and may back Italy’s Mario Draghi.

Scholz is the most unpopular German Chancellor in decades.

“Macron’s visit to Germany is being styled as a major diplomatic moment. The first state visit by a French leader in 24 years, it coincides with the 75th anniversary of Germany’s Basic Law, setting out the country’s democratic constitution. Invited by German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, the French leader is in the country for three days and is seeking to showcase his efforts at learning German.”

And even when Paris and Berlin do manage to see eye-to-eye – which is not often – their efforts to lead are falling short.

“While Paris and Berlin face a loss of influence, other EU leaders spy an opportunity to increase theirs. Amid the war in Ukraine and the weakening of the Franco-German axis, people like Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk, Estonia’s Kaja Kallas and Italy’s Giorgia Meloni have emerged as major power players on the EU stage.”

The post EU POWERHOUSE TROUBLE: Under Macron and Scholz, France and Germany Are Losing Relevance on the European Stage appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

In 2013, I began working on a city council campaign in Queens, New York and we desperately needed more people to man the phones. We put out an ad on a local job website and a young Hispanic man from Northern Queens walked in our office a few days later. After describing the job to him, he asked what political party this was for; when I replied Republican he looked stunned. “I’ve never actually met a Republican before,” he replied.

He probably wasn’t lying. 

The Republican Party was basically non-existent in large swaths of the nation’s largest city, including big parts of Queens and Brooklyn and almost the entire borough of the Bronx. In the most recent presidential election the year prior, Mitt Romney won less than five percent of the vote in six state house seats in the Bronx. Throughout the whole borough of the Bronx, he won less than 30,000 votes to President Obama’s nearly 340,000 votes—the worst performance for a Republican ever.

So when Trump announced that he was holding a rally in the Bronx, it was mocked by the left as a political stunt and rumors spread that he would need to bus in his white voters from other parts of the city to draw a crowd. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries tweeted, “The Boston Red Sox was more popular in the South Bronx than Donald Trump. Go home.”

That may have been true of Republicans under Romney, but it’s less so under Trump.

While Romney couldn’t muster even five percent in six of the Bronx’s 10 state house seats, Trump received double digit support in every district but one, including in all those in the South Bronx. 

Nonetheless, in this Democratic stronghold in a deep blue state, with no organized Republican Party to speak of, things have begun to change organically.

From 2016 to 2020, President Trump increased his support by 29,943 votes while Biden only managed to net 1,728 more votes than Hillary Clinton. This came without any door-knocking, commercials, or campaign funds being directed towards these voters.

This change didn’t stop with Trump.

In the next year’s mayoral election, the Republican Curtis Sliwa won more than 20 percent of the vote in the Bronx or 25,843 votes, more than the last two Republican candidates despite running an underfunded campaign where he was never considered competitive. 

The following gubernatorial election showed even further gains, where Lee Zeldin won nearly three times as many votes as the previous Republican candidate. The last Republican to even get 20 percent of the vote was Governor George Pataki during his third term re-election when the county was much whiter and Republican.

Unlike countless other politicians, who visited largely minority crowds and greeted them with broken Spanish like Michael Bloomberg, ethnically ambiguous accents like Hillary Clinton, promises of amnesty and better government healthcare like George W. Bush, or speeches casting them as victims like Joe Biden, Trump spoke to them as being part of the ancestral American experience:

When New York started as a small rugged Dutch trading post near the tip of Manhattan in 1624, what you see around you is nothing more than wilderness and marsh. But by the muscle and backbone and genius of the people of New York, we built the city into the towering forest of iron, aluminum, concrete and steel. We made the city and state into the capital of global commerce. We turned our hometown into the bustling center of a confident, glamorous American culture and we inspired the entire world. We inspired the world.

It was hardworking patriots like you who built this city, and it is hardworking patriots—and this is something, you can say it and you can say it a million times and you can emblazon it—it’s hardworking patriots like you who are going to save our country.

It didn’t matter if they were first generation Americans, the descendants of Ellis Island immigrants, or Mayflower descendants, Trump painted them in the image of the working-class coalition that created New York City.

The idea of a multiracial, working-class party has become a Republican fantasy over the last four years; while the GOP has had some success at the gubernatorial level, it still remains a dream. The 2024 election won’t deliver the Bronx to the Republicans, but it could offer a vision of the future.

The former President Donald Trump gave his highly-anticipated speech to the Libertarian Party’s national convention. Now the question remains: Cui bono? Who are the winners and losers?

As I wrote earlier this month, there were obvious reasons for Trump to make the unorthodox move of speaking at another party’s convention before accepting the Republican nomination for the third straight time. The benefits for the LP itself were less clear-cut.

Now the verdict is in, and it’s evident that the LP got more publicity for its convention than would otherwise have been the case. Whether that translates into support for their presidential ticket remains to be seen, but publicity for their ideas has always been a bigger part of the party’s mission than actually winning elected office.

More importantly, Libertarians believe they won important concessions from Trump if he’s elected: a Libertarian in the Cabinet (would they settle for a libertarian-leaning Republican if one is easier to confirm?), clemency for Silk Road’s Ross Ulbricht, and perhaps similar consideration for WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange.

Trump was booed pretty lustily at the convention, showing he is more welcome in the Bronx than at a Libertarian Party gathering. Anyone in Trump’s orbit who couldn’t have predicted that has not paid attention to Libertarian politics for the past half century (or the reaction from party members in the run-up to Trump’s appearance).

Republicans who have won the Libertarian nomination have had to put up with a great deal of grief for their efforts. This even includes Ron Paul, today a hero to Libertarians with and without capitalization who nevertheless had to fight through a contested convention to secure the 1988 nomination. That Libertarian presidential campaign was surely less consequential than either of Paul’s GOP presidential campaigns or his three stints as a Republican congressman.

Trump didn’t get particularly close to the Libertarian nomination, although he floated the idea in his speech and insisted he could have won it afterwards, despite the fact that he didn’t submit the paperwork. (Even Libertarians need to fill out forms, apparently.)

The episode was reminiscent of Trump’s skirmishes with Paul’s supporters during his original CPAC appearances, when he was still feeling out the conservative movement. He showed up without much past movement history, said he could win and the Paulites were losers, and made headlines.

Trump nevertheless became president once and stands at least an even chance of doing so again, if not better. While speaking to the Libertarians did not go as well as his recent blue-state rallies, it was a fun give-and-take that was hard to imagine President Joe Biden replicating if, say, he gave a similar speech to pro-Palestinian socialists who disapproved of his Israel policy. 

The ultimate question is whether it helped Trump win gettable right-leaning Libertarian (and libertarian) votes and compete with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for anti-establishment voters more generally. The actual Libertarian nominee, Chase Oliver, seems likely to repel the former camp and will probably fall behind Kennedy both percentage-wise and in raw-vote totals after three straight LP third-place finishes.

Oliver is the type of Libertarian who might drop his party back down to the 300,000–400,000 vote range. Then again, I thought that about Jo Jorgensen four years ago and her 1,865,535 votes was better than Gary Johnson’s then-impressive haul in 2012 and miles ahead of Bob Barr’s mediocre performance in 2008.

The LP has become a place where many Americans now park their protest votes. RFK Jr. may threaten that status, but it remains to be seen whether he can totally displace it.

Trump was helped in 2016 by strong third-party showings, including, to some extent, Johnson’s historic finish. (The 3 percent of the vote Trump mocked Libertarians for winning is actually the party’s record.) They divided the anti-Trump coalition to Hillary Clinton’s detriment. Biden was, in turn, boosted when third parties faded in 2020.

There’s nevertheless decent anecdotal evidence that at least some of the LP’s drop from Johnson’s 4,489,233 votes in 2016 to Jorgenson’s fewer than 2 million redounded to Trump’s benefit—his raw-vote total improved, even if he lost—and I haven’t seen much hard data that contradicts it. There’s a reason Jill Stein gets more of the blame for Trump’s first term in the White House despite receiving fewer votes than Johnson, whose total exceeded the popular vote difference between Clinton and Trump.

It is of course much more important for Trump to win the Rust Belt than it is to win over Johnson-Jorgensen voters, a feat he achieved in the past by sounding less small-l libertarian than other Republicans, whatever their actual dismal records on controlling government growth.

Biden’s campaign is sure to remind Rust Belt voters who Ulbricht is and why clemency for him sits uneasily alongside campaign promises to execute other drug kingpins. 

Within reason, however, Trump can afford to try to grow his coalition. He is nothing if not a risk-taker.

The former President Donald Trump has made a key, and somewhat surprising, primary endorsement that could alter the balance of power within the GOP’s House ranks.

On Tuesday, Trump endorsed Virginia State Sen. John McGuire III over Freedom Caucus Chairman Bob Good (R-VA) in Virginia’s Fifth District Republican primary.

The former president made the announcement on Truth Social:

Bob Good is BAD FOR VIRGINIA, AND BAD FOR THE USA. He turned his back on our incredible movement, and was constantly attacking and fighting me until recently, when he gave a warm and “loving” Endorsement – But really, it was too late. The damage had been done! I just want to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and the person that can most help me do that is Navy Seal and highly respected State Legislator, John McGuire, a true American Hero. John, who fought the Cartels on the Front Line, and then came home and fought the drug dealers in Virginia, will ALWAYS PUT AMERICA FIRST. I had the safest Border in history, built hundreds of miles of Wall, and then Crooked Joe Biden came along and ruined it, making it one of the worst human catastrophes ever in our Country. John and I will correct this situation, and fast! He is strong on crime, will protect our great Military/Vets, and will always defend our under siege Second Amendment. John McGuire has my Complete and Total Endorsement! MAGA2024

Good, seeking his third term in Congress, will square off against McGuire, a former Navy SEAL, in the June 18 primary. The race will mark Good’s first real electoral test since elected to Congress in 2020. In his two previous primary races, Good has been chosen at Virginia GOP conventions, not a full primary. “He has, in effect, campaigned and legislated for those 2,000 people. I believe he has not represented the voices of everyone in his district, and I think that’s a real vulnerability,” McGuire previously said in an interview with USA Today.

Good issued a rejoinder to USA Today regarding McGuire’s comments:

I’ve done what I said I would do: I’ve fought for border security, I’ve fought for reduced federal spending, I’ve fought to protect our constitutional freedoms. I ran as a conservative and I’ve voted and legislated as a conservative.

Despite the fact that Good’s voting record is very aligned with Trump’s policy preferences, it appears that Trump is taking revenge on Good for endorsing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in the GOP presidential primary before switching to Trump in January. McGuire has made Good’s DeSantis endorsement a pillar of his campaign: “Bob is never-Trump, John is an unwavering supporter of Trump,” a McGuire spokesperson claimed last week. It was all part of a sustained plea to the former president, who endorsed Good in 2022, to return the favor by switching sides on Good.

Trump’s endorsement carries profound implications for intra-conference dynamics in the House GOP next Congress. 

Good sent a statement by email to The American Conservative touting his credentials.

I have never been the choice of political power brokers in Washington.  The people of Virginia’s 5th District know me better than anyone, and I trust them.  I believe they will renominate me on June 18, because they understand and appreciate that I have fought for them during my 3 years in Washington.  

I am overwhelmingly supported by the grassroots GOP leaders and local elected officials in the 5th District.  I received the largest number of votes—210,000—of any congressional candidate in the history of the 5th District when I first ran in 2020.  I was elected by an even greater margin—57%—when I ran a second time in 2022. …

I am also supported by conservative groups Club for Growth, House Freedom Action, Heritage Action, Family Research Council PAC, Eagle Forum PAC, NRA, Gun Owners of America, National Association of Gun Rights, and more.

They all know I am the true conservative in this race who is committed to reversing the Biden agenda and putting America back on track to be great again as it was in President Trump’s first term.

My opponent does not have an America-first conservative record in the General Assembly. That is why he is supported by the RINO moderate establishment wing of the Republican Party. And it is why he is funded by allies of the former Speaker who is directing the dark super PAC money in support of his campaign.  

The people of Virginia’s 5th District will not let this seat be bought by the DC and CA swamp. We will prevail for America First on June 18.

He listed two dozen endorsements, including from Trump’s former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, and Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT), Rand Paul (R-KY), and Rick Scott (R-FL), as well as fellow Reps. Eli Crane (R-AZ), Matt Gaetz (R-FL), and Chip Roy (R-TX).

Members of the House Freedom Caucus, which named Good its chair in January of 2024, are widely perceived as being some of the most Trump-aligned members of Congress. Several Freedom Caucus members, such as Reps. Crane, Jim Jordan (R-OH), Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Mary Miller (R-IL), and Troy Nehls (R-TX), have received Trump endorsements themselves. Meadows, Trump’s former White House chief of staff and a former congressman, was a Freedom Caucus member when he was in the House. 

Nevertheless, the Freedom Caucus and its members at times have squared off against directives coming out of Mar-a-Lago.

At the beginning of the 118th Congress, Trump encouraged House Republicans to rally behind former Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), but members of the House Freedom caucus, along with allies such as Florida’s Rep. Gaetz, continued to oppose McCarthy’s bid for 15 consecutive rounds of voting. The Freedom Caucus and its allies were able to extract several important concessions from McCarthy in exchange for the gavel, such as increased representation on the House Rules Committee, House rules that would prevent leadership from shoving legislation upon members with little time to consider or debate it, and the all important motion to vacate.

House Freedom Caucus members once again featured prominently when McCarthy, who proved unable to hold up his end of the bargain, was vacated from the speakership in October 2023. Trump mostly stayed behind the scenes when McCarthy was ousted and replaced. While Gaetz claimed he believed the president supported his maneuver, Trump denied orchestrating the vacate effort; however, Trump’s denial was not an outright rejection of Gaetz’s motion to vacate.

But Trump has seemingly grown tired of the rough and tumble between House Republicans. He has remained a steadfast supporter of House Speaker Mike Johnson, even when some conservative House members and members of the Freedom Caucus flirted with possibly vacating Johnson for caving to Democrats on appropriations, FISA, and a supplemental aid package for Ukraine. A motion to vacate effort spearheaded by Reps. Marjorie Taylor Green (R-GA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY) against Johnson ultimately failed.

Now, the forces that the Freedom Caucus have at one point or another frustrated in the past two years are teaming up to take out the caucus’s chairman. Trump is not the only prominent Republican to bestow his blessing on McGuire; McCarthy and his allies are boosting McGuire to beat Good, too. If the chairman of the Freedom Caucus is taken out, and if Trump plays a large role in that outcome, the Freedom Caucus may find itself sidelined come January 2025.

The city of Denver, Colorado has created a guide for other cities, to teach them how to become a sanctuary for illegal border crossers.

Earlier this spring, Denver’s Democrat mayor actually cut funding for the police and fire departments in order to keep the gravy train running for illegals. Prior to that, the city had cut other services for taxpayers.

Does this new guide mean that red state governors should start sending more of these folks to Denver?

Breitbart News reported:

Denver Offers How-To Guide on Turning Cities into Taxpayer-Funded Immigrant Sanctuaries

The Democrat-led city of Denver, Colorado, is offering a how-to guide to help other cities turn into immigrant sanctuaries at the expense of taxpayers.

The guide is titled “Newcomers Playbook: A Guide to Welcoming Newcomers into Your City,” and its authors say they are “thrilled” to offer their guide on how to plan and implement a sanctuary city.

The guide exclaims:

We are thrilled that you are interested in creating a welcoming environment for migrants in your city. As part of Denver’s welcoming approach, we use the term “newcomers” to refer to migrants, recognizing that they are new to our city and embracing a more inclusive language. This playbook is a guide divided into two sections, offering recommendations and strategies for successfully integrating newcomers into your city.

The guide credits the “Office of Mayor Mike Johnston” and several of his migrant agencies.

Because of the cuts to police over the illegals, Denver is now planning to use drones as first responders instead of live police in some cases. You couldn’t make this up.

More than 50 percent of Democrats want to replace Joe Biden with someone else, according to a new poll from Rasmussen Reports.

This is extremely unlikely to happen at this late stage in the election. The Democrats are already working out their plan to nominate Biden and Harris ahead of the party’s convention in August.

This is just another reminder that there is widespread disapproval for Biden, even among members of his own party.

Newsmax has details:

Rasmussen Poll: Majority of Dems Want Biden Replaced

A majority of Democrats say they approve of replacing President Joe Biden as the Democratic Party candidate ahead of November’s election, according to a new Rasmussen Reports poll released Tuesday.

While 49% of likely voters overall said they would approve of Democrats dumping Biden, 54% of Democratic voters said they want Biden out, with 25% saying they “strongly approve” of the move, according to the results. Notably, Republicans surveyed are bringing down the average; just 45% of GOP voters surveyed want Biden replaced. Meanwhile, 50% of “other” voters, what Rasmussen labels unaffiliated, said they want to see Biden replaced.

The number of Democrats in favor of replacing Biden has jumped 6 points since the last survey in February, according to Rasmussen.

Young voters are the biggest age group that want Biden dumped, with 69% aged 18-39 saying they want Biden replaced.

However, just 44% of likely voters overall think it will actually happen, including 38% of Democrats. Again, notably, 52% of Republicans surveyed say it’s somewhat or very likely that Democrats will pull the plug on Biden, according to the survey.

This is embarrassing for Biden and his party.

54% of Democrats Now Approve of Dumping Biden

Nearly half of voters – including a majority of Democrats – think it’s OK for the Democratic Party to replace President Joe Biden with some other candidate.

A horrific tragedy at sea struck earlier this week as a passenger jumped to his death from the world’s largest cruise ship.

As The New York Post reported, Coast Guard officials revealed that the unidentified man left over 80 feet overboard from the Royal Caribbean’s Icon of the Seas shortly after it departed Florida on Sunday for Honduras.

The Coast Guard told the Post they deployed one of their rescue boats, located the individual, and brought him back aboard the ship. He was pronounced dead following the rescue.

The US Coast Guard went on to say they did not have “much” involvement in this incident beyond helping in the search.

Below is a video of rescue crews desperately attempting to locate the man after he jumped.

CruiseHive revealed the ship stopped for approximately two hours for the search.

Royal Caribbean provided a statement to CruiseHive saying they are providing assistance to the deceased man’s loved ones and have no further details to share at this time.

“The ship’s crew immediately notified the U.S. Coast Guard and launched a search and rescue operation. Our Care Team is actively providing support and assistance to the guest’s loved ones during this difficult time. For the privacy of the guest and their family, we have no additional details to share,” the statement read.

The Icon of the Seas is Royal Caribbean’s newest ship. It is roughly 1,200 feet long Icon of the Seas and holds 7,600 passengers and 2,350 crew members.

It also has 2,805 staterooms and 20 decks.

This is not the first incident involving passengers jumping off Royal Caribbean ships. Last month, a 20-year-old man leaped from Royal Caribbean’s Liberty of the Seas right in front of his family after getting drunk. He remains missing.

According to the Washington Post, 386 people have jumped off cruise ships in the last two decades.
