Drag Queens for Kamala/Image: Video screenshot.

The talking point from the marketing geniuses in the Harris campaign is to paint a father, huband, and Marine Veteran JD Vance, as “weird.”

But, like everything the radical left does, look at what they accuse others of because that is surely what they actually are doing and who they actually are.

As for the “weird” moniker? That seems to apply more aptly to those coalescing around the Harris campaign.

A group of drag queens, “Drag Queens for Kamala,”  have launched a “music video” to “help” the Democratic presidential candidate and push identity politics.

One drag queen sings, “She’ll get bills passed in Congress that’ll protect me and you.”

Another, in a rendition of Peggy Lee’s jazz single “I’m a Woman,” sings, “Black, white, Latino, or LGBTQ.”

“Crime went down under Biden, and crime went up under Trump,” Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg claimed on Fox News Sunday. “Why would America want to go back to the higher crime we experienced under Donald Trump?”

“It’s no accident that violent crime is near a record 50-year low,” President Biden similarly claimed. And fact-checkers, at places like Politifact, rate Biden’s statement as “true.”

For months, the news media has relied on FBI data to relentlessly push this claim. But the problem is that the FBI data only counts crime reported to police, not total crime, and even then, it does a poor job of measuring reported crime.

Buttigieg dared viewers to “do yourself a favor and look up the data.” But Buttigieg either doesn’t understand the crime data or he is really hoping that Americans don’t take him up on his dare.

There are two different measures of crime. The FBI’s National Incident-Based Reporting System program annually counts the number of crimes reported to police. The National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), by contrast, asks 240,000 people a year whether they have been victims of a crime. The NCVS is used to estimate total crime, both reported and unreported. Survey results indicate that only 42% of violent crime and 32% of property crime were reported to law enforcement in 2022, the last year the NCVS data is available.

Buttigieg didn’t claim that the reported crime fell. He claimed that crime went down.

In saying Biden’s claim was correct, Politifact declared: “Other types of crime statistics, including the National Crime Victimization Survey, show current levels of violent crime far lower than their peaks in the early 1990s.” But Biden was saying that the violent crime rate was near a 50-year low, not that it was lower than it was in the 1990s. There have been many years over the last 50 where the violent crime data from the NCVS is lower than in 2022. In addition, to say the violent crime rate increased by 42.4% in 2022 after a smaller increase in 2021 seems far from the low it was in 2020.

Unreported crime has increased as law enforcement has collapsed, and that has reduced the rate at which people report crimes to police. In cities with more than one million people (where violent crime disproportionately occurs), arrest rates for violent crime plunged from 44% in the five years preceding COVID-19 (2015-2019) to 20% in 2022. Property crime arrest rates dropped by even more.

Since 2020, the FBI’s number of reported crimes and the NCVS’s number of total crimes have been negatively correlated. For instance, in 2022, the FBI reported a 2.1% drop in violent crime while the NCVS showed an alarming increase of 42.4% –  the largest one-year percentage increase in violent crime ever recorded by the NCVS.

It is puzzling enough that measures of reported and total crime don’t match. But the FBI’s and NCVS’s estimates of reported crime have also gone in opposite directions since 2020. From 2008 to 2019, the FBI and NCVS measures of reported violent crime generally tended to move up and down together. However, from 2020 to 2022, these two numbers were almost perfectly negatively related to each other. Each time one measure of reported violent crime rose, the other measure fell.

While the FBI’s number of reported violent crimes fell by 2% in 2021 and 2.1% in 2022, the NCVS’s measure showed increases of 13.6% and 29.3%, respectively.

The fact that the FBI and NCVS measures of reported crime go in opposite directions raises real concerns about the FBI data.

So even if Buttigieg wanted to claim that reported crime went down, that is even debatable.

A frequently discussed concern with the FBI data is the decline that occurred in police department reporting after a new system was implemented. In 2022, 32% of police departments didn’t report CRIME data to the FBI. Another 24% only partially reported it, so less than half of departments fully reported crime data.

Police departments downgrading crimes further biases the FBI numbers. Classifying an aggravated assault as a simple assault means that it will be excluded from FBI violent crime data, which doesn’t include simple assaults. The difference often involves whether the criminal used a weapon in committing an assault, but many radically left-leaning district attorneys are refusing to include weapons charges against defendants. That could explain the difference between the two measures of reported crime. After all, the NCVS asks victims if the assault involved a weapon, even if the police reports ignore that characteristic of the crime.

Soros-backed district attorneys from New York to Chicago to Los Angeles have created other biases in the FBI data by downgrading felonies to misdemeanors. Recent numbers show that the progressive Manhattan DA downgraded felonies to lesser charges 60% of the time. Eighty-nine percent of the time that would-be felonies were downgraded, they were downgraded to misdemeanors.

This isn’t a new problem. In the past, Chicago has intentionally misclassified murders by mislabeling them as non-criminal “death investigations.” However, the problem may be growing, and police may also be responding to the decisions of prosecutors.

Over the last few years, as police ranks have thinned due to retirements and budget cuts, police departments have stopped responding to non-emergency 911 calls in places such as Charlottesville,Chicago, and Olympia, Washington. Instead of police coming out to crime scenes, however, people can still go down to their local police stations. People may think that they reported a crime by calling  911, but a crime isn’t officially counted until police make a report.

Much is made of the drop in murder rates over the last few years. Murder rates dropped by 13% in 2023, though the preliminary 2023 murder rate is still 7% above 2019 levels. The NCVS doesn’t survey its respondents about murder, but the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has a measure that doesn’t match up with the FBI data. While the FBI shows murder peaking in 2020 and dropping in 2021 and 2022, the CDC shows it peaking in 2021 and higher in 2022 than in 2020.

The FBI data doesn’t match the NCVS or CDC data. The gigantic gap between these measures, even when they are measuring the same thing, should raise major doubts about the accuracy of the FBI’s reported crime data. People say that they are reporting more crimes to the police, but that isn’t showing up in the FBI reports.

Americans in our country’s urban centers know that crime is increasing as law enforcement is collapsing.

Jim Hoft joins Chanel Rion to discuss harnessing the Hispanic vote.

The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft joined OAN’s Chanel Rion, the host of Fine Point, this week to discuss the launch of Gateway Hispanic, a conservative news website devoted to the global Hispanic community.

Gateway Hispanic is a new news outlet that was launched this month to cover current political events in Spanish in an effort to empower more than 70 million Hispanics in the United States and around the world.

At a key moment for the nation’s future, Gateway Hispanic sets out to conquer an orphan market, presenting itself as a new informative voice that promises to bring the most shocking news of current national and international politics to millions of Hispanic-American homes, on whose weight largely depends the electoral future of the presidential candidates and the country itself.

The Hispanic community in the US has been manipulated by ultra-liberal media that only seek to victimize it and use it as a puppet and speaker for the most extremist and anti-democratic left in history. We aim to change all of that.

Chanel and Jim discussed the Venezuelan elections during the segment. Gateway Hispanic is covering this historical event for those interested in learning the full story of what is taking place in Venezuela after the Maduro regime stole the election earlier this week.

Joe Biden’s recent COVID diagnosis has ignited a storm of speculation. The latest to weigh in on the matter is none other than Joe Rogan, who has raised some eyebrow-raising questions about Biden’s height following his apparent disappearance from public view.

Earlier this month, Biden announced he had tested positive for COVID-19 and would be isolating as he recovered.

This announcement came on the heels of his last public appearance in Las Vegas, where he was seen struggling to walk. Since then, the silence and lack of visible updates have left many questioning the true state of his health.

Fox News hosts Bret Baier and Dana Perino had openly called for proof of life, expressing their concern over Biden’s absence.

“Not physically seeing Biden – not addressing a camera in Delaware, let alone an Oval Office statement like LBJ did…it is disconcerting, isn’t it?” Baier commented.

Perino added, “Right! They didn’t even release a White House still photograph. Nothing! I hope he’s fine, but you can forgive people for wondering if we are really living Weekend at Bernie’s right now. Like, proof of life, please! Let’s see it!”

Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk stirred up a storm on social media platform X with a post that suggested there might be more to Joe Biden’s abrupt departure from Las Vegas than was officially reported.

The official narrative was that Joe Biden’s trip was cut short due to him testing positive for COVID-19. Biden did not even wear a mask, which the Democrats have been advocating for years.

President Biden tells reporters he’s feeling “good” as he leaves Las Vegas after his Covid diagnosis.

An anonymous source close to Las Vegas Metro claimed the U.S. Secret Service had informed them of an emergency situation involving Joe Biden.

Kirk’s initial post stated:

Got a weird lead on a story that people should look into. I got a call from a source close to Las Vegas Metro. The official story was that Joe Biden’s trip was cut short last week due to COVID.

However, according to this source, US Secret Service informed LV Metro that there was an emergency situation involving Joe Biden and to close necessary streets so that POTUS could be transported immediately to University Medical, which they began to do in earnest.

Then, mysteriously, there was a stand down order and the USSS informed local Vegas PD that they were going to “medivac” POTUS to Johns Hopkins, which they presumed meant fly him back east ASAP. Apparently the rumor mill in the police department was that Joe Biden was dying or possibly already dead.

I didn’t think too much about this lead, seemed too wild to be true, but given that Joe Biden has been out of public sight for days and dropped out of the race via an X post, and his brother James indicated health was a factor, I’m beginning to grow more curious if COVID or something else has been more serious than reported.

It can be recalled that Frank Biden, Joe Biden’s younger brother, was smeared as an “alcoholic” after he suggested Joe Biden was terminal.

Frank Biden told CBS News that Biden’s declining health played a considerable role in his decision to drop out.

Charlie Kirk’s post gained traction as Biden has been out of public sight for days and announced his withdrawal from the race via an X post.

Kirk later updated his post saying he had received multiple emails confirming many elements of the story. Many corroborated that a call went out to block streets to get Biden to University Medical trauma center, and then the plan abruptly changed and Biden was quickly flown out of Vegas on Air Force One.

“UPDATE: I’ve received multiple emails like this one confirming many elements of the story. Many have confirmed that a call went out to block streets to get Biden to University Medical trauma center ASAP, and then the plan abruptly changed and they got him out on AF1 very quickly. I have not confirmed the IDs of these people, but there are an overwhelming number of stories corroborating essentially the same account that I felt comfortable sharing. I have people diving deeper into this now,” Kirk wrote.

Emily Goodin, senior White House correspondent for the DailyMail, documented on July 17th that the flight time from Vegas to Dover was 3hrs 48 mins—extremely fast—and that AF1 flew so fast the “plane shook.” This seems to confirm reports of how urgently AF1 took off out of Vegas.

Kirk wrote in his post, “People have sent me a post from Emily Goodin, senior White House correspondent for the DailyMail from July 17th. She documented that the flight time from Vegas to Dover was 3hrs 48 mins—extremely fast—and that AF1 flew so fast the “plane shook.” This seems to confirm reports of how urgently AF1 took off out of Vegas. The questions now are: Did Joe Biden have a serious medical event in Vegas that has been covered up? Did that medical event contribute to his decision to pull out of the race? How precarious is Joe Biden’s current health condition?”

Investigative journalist Jordan Schachtel, publisher of The Dossier, confirmed through independent testimonies from over half a dozen law enforcement officers who participated in the president’s security detail, and others who spoke from firsthand knowledge of the incident that unfolded that day, that Biden did indeed experience an undisclosed medical emergency in Las Vegas.

Dossier.today reported:

For this story, we worked with Turning Point Action to secure the testimony of several sources and vet their legitimacy.

Officers working the president’s detail describe that Wednesday as chaotic from the very start. President Biden was already way behind schedule before the incident. Several sources said things really went haywire after he had been present at a famed local Mexican restaurant called Lindo Michoacan, where he was doing the rounds shaking hands and greeting donors.

Then suddenly, when he was supposed to be scheduled to deliver the UnidosUS speech, all hell broke loose.

Several law enforcement officers on duty that day were informed over the radio that the president was dealing with an unspecified medical emergency. Far from a case of the sniffles, this was sent out on encrypted police airwaves as if something akin to a five-alarm fire had broken out.

Our sources estimate that it was “easily” hundreds of Las Vegas Metropolitan officers and employees who heard the broadcasts live, so a curious media shouldn’t have a problem reporting any follow-ups to this story. The dispatches made clear that this was much more than a mere change of plans, because it set into motion so much of their on-duty emergency response apparatus.

According to these law enforcement sources, the president’s motorcade was initially planning on heading to University Medical Center (UMC). However, the plan changed rapidly, and officers were instructed to clear an express route to Harry Reid International Airport.

The officers working the president’s detail describe a massive response effort to get Biden out of town as fast and as safe as possible. This response seemed too drastic for just a positive COVID-19 test result.

Radio dispatchers responsible for coordinating with the president’s detail requested an immediate “surge” of law enforcement resources into the area, both to secure the vicinity and to expedite the president’s movement.

According to these law enforcement sources, the president’s motorcade was initially planning on heading to University Medical Center (UMC), which was located about two miles up the road from the president’s position. Police answered the call, rapidly deploying their “in the box” emergency squads to faciltate the reroute to the hospital.

While researching for this story, we found that the local NBC affiliate KSNV confirmed last week, without much publicity, that UMC “was on standby after being alerted about a possible medical issue with President Joe Biden Wednesday afternoon while he was visiting Southern Nevada.”

Jennifer Van Laar, an investigative journalist at RedState, has also confirmed this story with sources within the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD).

According to Van Laar’s source, “Biden had stroke-like symptoms,” but the traveling physician determined it wasn’t a full stroke that needed immediate extensive medical intervention on the ground. Instead, it was decided that Biden could be treated on Air Force One while en route to Andrews Air Force Base. This decision precipitated a last-minute diversion of the President’s motorcade to Harry Reid International Airport, bypassing plans for a hospital visit.

“According to this source, it’s believed Biden had a transient ischemic attack (TIA),” Van Laar wrote.

Reporters at @RedState have also confirmed this story with @LVMPD sources.

According to the American Stroke Association, “A transient ischemic attack, or TIA, is a temporary blockage of blood flow to the brain. The clot usually dissolves on its own or gets dislodged, and the symptoms usually last less than five minutes.”

Video posted by NBC News shows Biden gingerly walking down the short stairs of Air Force One, pausing several times as he navigated the fourteen steps.

Now, Joe Rogan has joined the chorus, diving deep into the mystery with guest Michael Malice on his podcast. Rogan and Malice scrutinized footage of Biden walking compared to other appearances, claiming that there appeared to be significant differences in height and gait.

Joe Rogan: “You think there’s a body double?”

Michael Malice: “That guy walked very differently than Biden. He’s a lot taller. It’s on Scott Adams’ Twitter. You saw that. I’m like, am I Alex Jonesing today?

Joe Rogan: “No, he’s a lot taller.”

They also suggest that the person seen walking was significantly taller and moved with much more agility than Biden had shown previously.

Rogan and Malice continued their analysis, repeatedly asserting that the man in the footage could not be the same Joe Biden who had struggled with stairs and shown signs of physical decline in earlier appearances.

Joe Rogan: “Look at the size differences in the torsos themselves from the top of his shoulders to where- Look at the buttons.”

Michael Malice: “Yeah, look at the white of the shirt.”

Joe Rogan: “Just look at the size difference. Look how much longer that human is on the left. Now, it may be Biden. Listen, they might have some wild shit that brings you back from the dead. But medical science is getting like, there’s some people out there working on some wild stuff.”

[…]

Joe Rogan: So look at this one right now. So this is him walking in that other one. He’s really struggling there. But again, that could be just like his mental ability. It could come and go. Especially with that fucking juicy alien cocktail, they jazzed.

Michael Malice: Or it could be jet lag.

Joe Rogan: Imagine if he really did grow six inches. It really is Biden. They really do have some stuff. It rejuvenates you, but you also grow.

In a surprising turn of events, Utah Governor Spencer Cox, a long-time critic of Donald Trump, endorsed the former president following a recent assassination attempt. This endorsement comes after Trump adopted a more conciliatory tone in his public communications, which many believe has struck a chord with previously skeptical conservatives.

The incident occurred on July 13 at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where Trump narrowly escaped a shooting. The event left Trump shaken but unhurt, leading him to deliver a message that many saw as unusually reflective and unifying. Speaking about the incident, Trump attributed his survival to divine intervention, a sentiment that resonated with Governor Cox. “I was distraught over the attack,” Cox stated, “but Trump’s heartfelt message afterward showed a side of him that I believe can unite our party and our country”.

Cox’s endorsement is particularly significant given his past membership in the “NeverTrump” faction of the Republican Party. This group has consistently opposed Trump’s influence, but Cox’s recent change of heart underscores the potential shift in the political landscape. His support highlights the impact of Trump’s new tone on his broader political strategy.

Trump’s response to the shooting emphasized unity and resilience, deviating from his typically combative rhetoric. This change was evident in his address to his supporters, where he thanked them for their unwavering support and called for solidarity in the face of violence. The rally, initially marred by chaos, turned into a demonstration of Trump’s ability to galvanize his base under trying circumstances​.

The former president’s handling of the situation has led to speculation that he is attempting to appeal to a broader electorate. His acknowledgment of the need for unity and his softer tone could be strategic moves to attract moderates and former critics within the GOP. Political analysts suggest that this approach could be crucial in the upcoming elections, where the Republican Party must consolidate its base while also reaching out to undecided voters.

Governor Cox’s endorsement is a notable victory for Trump, signaling potential shifts among other skeptical Republicans. It also underscores the power of a united front in the GOP, especially in light of recent internal divisions. Cox’s support might encourage other “NeverTrump” Republicans to reconsider their stance, potentially leading to a more cohesive party strategy moving forward.

Trump’s ability to adapt his rhetoric and connect with different factions within the GOP could be a decisive factor in his political comeback. His recent experiences and the subsequent shift in his messaging have the potential to redefine his public image and influence his standing within the party.

As the 2024 elections approach, Trump’s evolving tone and the endorsements from previously critical figures like Governor Cox will likely play a pivotal role in shaping the Republican campaign strategy​​.

US officials were iced out by Israel before Hamas Leader was killed in Tehran.

Israel DID NOT inform the Biden administration before they took out Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran on Wednesday morning.

According to the Iranian regime, Israel used an airborne guided projectile to kill the Hamas leader and a bodyguard in their residence in Tehran. Haniyeh was killed after he was seen at an inauguration event in Tehran for the new puppet president.

Biden Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin confirmed that Israel did not notify the Biden regime before the strike to take out the longtime Hamas leader.

This should not come as a surprise.

In October 2023, Joe Biden’s special envoy to Iran and principal architect on resurrecting the nuclear deal was accused of sharing classified information with the Islamic regime.

House Republicans claim the US. Special Envoy to Iran Robert Malley, “May have had a compromising tie to the Iranian regime.”

Robert Malley, a deranged Trump-hater, has already been suspended from his position with the Biden regime. The FBI is investigating him and whether or not he mishandled classified information.

Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) told FOX News that Malley’s security violations were so serious that he was suspended without pay, and his security clearances were suspended as well.

Malley was the Biden regime’s Iran envoy during negotiations on restarting the Iran nuclear deal.

Rep. Michael McCaul: “He’s a special envoy for Iran. He is the principal architect, the negotiator on the Iran deal to resurrect the Iran deal. And the concern is that we tried to get him before my committee to testify, to brief us on Iran, and he was basically AWOL. And then we found out that he was suspended without pay because he had problems with his security clearance. He had compromised classified information, we think, with Iran, and now there’s a wider investigation into this. You can’t make this stuff up, Martha. I mean, between that and the $6 billion they’ve pledged to put into Iran, the largest state sponsor of terror, all in the name of getting another JCPOA deal done, it’s not acceptable to House Republicans.

Laura Ingraham and Senator Ron Johnson question the comments by the FBI on the would-be Trump assassin.

On Tuesday night Senator Ron Johnson joined Laura Ingraham to discuss the Secret Service and FBI’s tawdry testimony before the Senate committees earlier today.

U.S. Secret Service Acting Director Ronald Rowe and FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate provided updates on the ongoing investigation into the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump and the murder of one Trump supporter in Butler, Pennsylvania.

During the testimony, the FBI shamelessly attempted to link deceased killer Thomas Matthew Crooks, the would-be assassin of former President Donald Trump, to a social media account purportedly filled with anti-immigrant and anti-Semitic rhetoric.

Despite initial reports that investigators had found no threatening posts on Crooks’ social media accounts, Deputy Director Abbate claimed new evidence had surfaced.

“Something just very recently uncovered that I want to share is a social media account which is believed to be associated with this shooter,” Abbate said.

“Some of these comments, if ultimately attributable to the shooter, appear to reflect anti Semitic and anti-immigration themes to espouse political violence and are described as extreme in nature,” he added.

FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate

This should not surprise Americans who have been paying attention – The shady FBI is now trying to tie killer Thomas Crooks to right-wing extremists!

Soon after Abbate’s comments Gab founder Andrew Torba posted the video his platform.

Torba then quickly responded to the FBI’s allegations by releasing what he described as evidence contradicting the agency’s narrative. He claimed that his team discovered posts attributed to Crooks on Gab that painted a different picture of his political affiliations. According to Torba, these posts indicated that Crooks was pro-Biden and supportive of his immigration policies.

It can be recalled that on Wednesday, he announced that his team had discovered evidence suggesting Crooks may have operated an account on Gab under the username “EpicMicrowave.”

Torba asserted that the FBI’s claims were inconsistent with Gab’s understanding of Crooks’ motives.

He wrote:

The FBI is now claiming that the Trump shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks had an unspecified “social media account” in 2019/2020 (when he was 14/15 years old) that posted “anti-immigrant and anti-semitic” content.

This is not consistent with Gab’s understanding of the shooter’s motives based on an Emergency Disclosure Request (“EDR”) we received from the FBI last week for the Gab account “EpicMicrowave” which, based on the content of that EDR, the FBI appeared to think belonged to Thomas Crooks.

Many, particularly regime media reporters, have doubted Gab’s claims that this request existed. Normally we don’t confirm the existence or content of law enforcement communications. In this instance we had to make an exception due to the overwhelming public interest in disclosure and transparency.

As a courtesy to law enforcement, we are not going to post the entire request. This is the first page of that request.

The story is this: the account for which data was requested was, UNEQUIVOCALLY, pro-Biden and in particular pro-Biden’s immigration policy.

To the best of Gab’s knowledge, as of 2021, Crooks was a pro-lockdown, pro-immigration, left-wing Joe Biden supporter.

Torba’s response included a partial release of the EDR, which the FBI states, “FBI investigative efforts identified several E-Mails, Telephones, and One Possible GAB account associated with Crooks. This Emergency Disclosure Request is being submitted to identify any co-conspirators.”

Later on The Ingraham Angle Senator Ron Johnson slammed the untrustworthy testimony by the government officials.

Laura Ingraham: Senator Johnson, you got the deep state that can surveil the Trump campaign, right, back in 2015 and ’16. They can’t seem to put two and two together on a 20-year-old. Why are we spending all this money on the FBI? This seems ridiculous.

Sen. Ron Johnson: What am I missing? You know I do not trust the FBI do this investigation, honestly. But I caught that contradiction as well. I thought I thought I heard him say, Initially, anti-immigrant, and then you said another one was pro-immigrant. That’s the reason I asked the question at the very end of my questioning is, they say they’re investigating this as an assassination attempt and also as domestic terrorism. It was obviously an assassination attempt. Why are you classifying as domestic terrorism? Again, my concern is the way this Biden administration has basically accused half of America being potential domestic terrorists. In his testimony, he’s talking about as anti-immigrant. Again, they’re trying to paint this as a MAGA Republican trying to take out, I guess, the MAGA President. It makes no sense whatsoever, but that’s why you can’t trust the FBI.

Phony conservative Stephen Richer was ousted as Maricopa County Recorder in the Republican Primary on July 30, 2024.

Fake conservative Stephen Richer, who was bankrolled by an anti-Trump billionaire, was ousted as Maricopa County Recorder after years of controversy and questionable maneuvers.

In June Stephen Richer came out of the closet and announced his support for Joe Biden.

The man is now free to be himself after he was ousted in the Arizona primary on Tuesday night. Unfortunately, he will still sit in office to spoil another election before he is sent out to pasture.

In the 2022 election voting machines mysteriously broke down in deep red areas of the Phoenix area causing Republican candidates to lose an estimated tens of thousands of votes. Richer was one of the officials responsible for this election disaster. He later sued Kari Lake with the support of the far left radical group Protect Democracy – the same far left group that is hoping to destroy The Gateway Pundit in a similar lawfare suit.

Iowa Public Radio (a far-left outfit) reported on Richer’s defeat.

Stephen Richer, who’s been a fierce defender of the integrity of Maricopa County elections since he was elected as county recorder in 2020, has lost a Republican primary to keep that role, according to a race call by The Associated Press.

Maricopa County includes Phoenix and is Arizona’s population center. The recorder helps run county elections.

According to the AP, Richer was defeated by GOP challenger Justin Heap, a state representative backed by the far-right Freedom Caucus and other conservative groups. With 81% of estimated votes in, as of 5 a.m. ET, Heap had 42% of the vote, while Richer had 36%. Another challenger had 22%.

Richer’s defeat is a loss for those who’ve spent the past four years defending Maricopa County election administrators against baseless claims.

This is great news for law and order and free and fair elections.

This is great news. https://t.co/ufpJvKeGtZ

Fred Trump III has publicly turned his back on his family, endorsing Kamala Harris and launching a scathing attack against his uncle, former President Donald Trump.

This betrayal comes just months before the upcoming election, as Fred seeks to profit from his controversial new memoir, which he claims contains “never-before-told stories” about the Trump family.

Fred Trump III, the son of Fred Trump Jr. and nephew of Donald Trump, made headlines during an appearance on The View, where he said, “I believe in policy over politics, and without question, Kamala Harris’s policies are what I get behind.”

He went further, asserting that he would not only vote for Harris but would also campaign for her without hesitation.

WATCH:

On the same day, ABC’s Good Morning America aired their interview with Fred Trump. Fred Trump said that his uncle is “atomic crazy” and claimed to have witnessed him using racial slurs decades ago, when he was 10 years old.

“‘N—s,’ I recall him saying disgustedly. ‘Look what the n—s did,’” Fred reportedly quotes Donald Trump.

“And within every family — people know this — families are complicated. Every family has their crazy uncle. My Uncle Donald is atomic crazy. And … he has put his mark on the family history,” he added.

“Means he does things that, even as much as I know him when he’s out there now, I sort of shudder and say, ‘Is this the same guy I knew? What’s making him change? … What got him this way?’ But that all being said, I’ve always had a good relationship.”

He added, “But he’s done really horrific things to me, which some people will say, ‘How could you still want to have a relationship with him?’ He’s my uncle. He’s family, and that means a lot.”

These interviews are part of Fred Trump’s shameless attempt to promote his new book.

According to his memoir, during a visit to the Oval Office, Fred alleges that Donald Trump suggested those with disabilities “should just die.”

He recounts a similar incident during a phone call when he informed his uncle that the medical fund for his son, William, who has a disability, was running low, according to far-left news outlet The Daily Beast.

Fred claims that Trump coldly responded, “Your son doesn’t recognize you. Let him die and move to Florida.”

“Was I surprised? I don’t think you could hear something like that and not be surprised,” Fred added. “But that is what he has become. It’s sad.”

This is nothing more than a cheap shot to sell copies of a book that belongs in the bargain bin of the fiction section.

In response to these absurd claims, Trump’s communications director, Steven Cheung, issued a statement to the media.

“This is completely fabricated and total fake news of the highest order,” he said.

“It is appalling a lie so blatantly disgusting can be printed in media. Anyone who knows President Trump knows he would never use such language, and false stories like this have been thoroughly debunked.”

Eric Trump did not hold back in his response to his cousin’s betrayal.

“It’s disappointing that after decades of unwavering love, support, golf memberships, family vacations and millions of dollars in support for his wonderful son, Fred Trump has decided to ‘cash in’ less than a 100 days before an election.

I have signed the checks and witnessed first-hand as my father, and our family, has provided endless financial support so that Fred’s son could receive the best possible medical care.

To read this garbage and see that he has now followed his troubled sister simply earn a quick buck is disgusting, disheartening and a prime example of ‘no good deed goes unpunished’.”

Fred Trump III is the brother of the unhinged Mary Trump. The left has been using Mary Trump to smear her uncle, Donald Trump.

Below are some of the reactions on social media to this betrayal:

Here they are enjoying the success of your father. Fred Trump III and Mary are just a couple or freeloaders.

I’m so sorry to hear this. I wish this was less common – but over the years I have learned ‘chosen family’ bonds are sometimes deeper than blood. Awful feeling and thoughts with your family.

I am so sorry Eric; your family does not deserve this treatment. Just know we are not buying any of it and we love your family very much.

Family does not always equal loyalty, sadly.

The left will do anything to win. Even try to pay off family.

Stand firm.
