Month: April 2025

On Wednesday, April 16, 2025, Secretary of State Marco Rubio very publicly abolished the censorship body known as the Global Engagement Center (GEC).

GEC was actually supposed to be dead already after Republicans defunded the State Department offshoot last year.  However, this didn’t stop Joe Biden’s handlers from rebranding the group with a new name, the Counter Foreign Information and Interference office (R-FIMI) with the same roster of government employees.

Rubio explains how Obama’s man in charge of GEC, Rick Stengel, in 2016 twisted the mission of the organization into focusing on fake news and misinformation here at home. Stengel was a lunatic Trump hater who essentially believes that a secure democracy means “silencing the part of the electorate he doesn’t like.”

Secretary of State Rubio describes how GEC worked overtime to silence voices who challenged the official regime narrative on the COVID-19 pandemic including, its origins, treatments, natural immunity, and the experimental vaccines.

Rubio added, “GEC was an enthusiastic participant in the Election Integrity Partnership (EIP), an infamous group established under constitutionally questionable conditions to monitor “disinformation” about the 2020 election.”

The GEC used taxpayer dollars to fund outside censorship organizations,, including the Global Disinformation Index (GDI), which listed several conservative outlets as the “riskiest online news outlets” including The Federalist and Daily Wire.

The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on GDI for several years now.

On April 7 2023, TGP shared a report from investigative journalist Bob Bishop regarding the Global Disinformation Index.  Bishop wrote:

The public is awakening to social media censorship (Twitter and Facebook) and the extreme bias of prominent media outlets (i.e., the New York Times) promoting and supporting the Federal and state governments’ narratives and totalitarian behavior. An emerging and highly destructive new strategy is “blacklisting” independent conservative media to defund them of advertising revenue, leading to their financial demise.

The mission of the Disinformation Index (“DI”), with its U.K. parent organization, Disinformation Index LTD. (“GDI”), is to defund conservative online news sites with claims of alleged disinformation. GBTDI disinformation focus is LBGT, climate denial, election fraud, illegal immigration, the RussiaUkraine border conflict, abortion, the Biden family’s foreign business dealings, and anti-vaccine content. The organizations invert facts and truth to create an adversarial political narrative.

Their rating system creates a blacklist shared with major advertising companies and advertising exchanges, including Google and Microsoft, to shut down disfavored speech by defunding advertising. These companies contract with GDIDI for information on who to target for defunding. When comparing GDI’s risk sources, the bias is highly apparent.

This list omits The Gateway Pundit (TGP) and Breitbart which are constantly targeted by these organizations for some reason. Gateway and Breitbart typically are at the top of any censorship list.

We later found out why. GDI lists Breitbart and The Gateway Pundit in their own special category.

In a podcast on The Safety Tech Podcast last year, Clare Melford, GDI CEO, discussed its strategies for defunding conservative websites. She stated that the Gateway Pundit was on GDI’s “exclusion hit list,” which led to advertising companies and Google not monetizing its content. A link to the podcast is here, and the segment starts at 24.10.

Host Ben Whitelaw: Is there any specific examples of new sites that you know have been defunded in the way that you talked about?

Clare Melford: I can only talk about the ones that are already in the public domain, which are not necessarily the result of our work, but of the whole ecosystem of organizations that are trying to do the same, both of which there have been many news stories about. So the first is Breitbart. There’s even video and footage of Steve Bannon talking about how the advertiser, a reaction against the content on Breitbart, cost them 90% of their ad revenue. And the second is The Gateway Pundit. There was a documentary on French TV, TV2, I think, in France last year, which showed a lot of the content on Gateway Pundit and talked to the advertising technology companies that monetized it, notably Google, and led to those companies deciding not to provide services to the Gateway Pundit in the future.

Host Ben Whitelaw: What type of misinformation are you most concerned about in the work that you and GDI do?

Clare Melford: I think I am increasingly concerned about not an individual narrative, but the meta-narrative that democracy isn’t working. Democracy is the best form of governance human beings have yet invented as a way of enriching and developing stable, prosperous, peaceful societies. That is under attack, and it’s been under attack for several years. But the year 2021 started out with a great democracy attacking itself with the Capital riot on January sixth. And that has continued throughout 2021. And if you look at a whole range of disinformation narratives, They are becoming, they are blending together in support of this Uber narrative that democracy isn’t working, that there’s a corrupt elite working only for themselves, not serving the will of the common man, and that only a strong man can get rid of the corrupt elite. So I’ll give you the example of QAnon, which started many years ago as a narrative around deep state elites, with some crazy stuff around these elites pedophiles and cannibals, and had a very strong anti-Semitic element to it, but it was niche. It then, over the course of 2019, 2020, 2021, morphed into a narrative around COVID and anti-vax content, mask protests, lockdown protests, voter fraud around the 2020 election, and now it’s even morphed into a narrative around abortion.

Here is the clip.

What is interesting about this clip and admission by Clare Melford

Gateway Pundit appeared regularly in GDI’s weekly tracker. GDI has scrubbed the weekly tracker reports from its website. However, below is an example from the Wayback Machine on the 2020 election fraud. The Wayback Machine link includes numerous weekly research lists that target leading conservative websites like Breitbart News, American Thinker, Fox Nation, and World News Daily.

The Washington Examiner reported that U.S. taxpayer-funded National Endowment for Democracy and the State Department’s Global Engagement Center during 2020 and 2021 funded $665,000 to U.K. GDI.  Funds used domestically to defund conservative websites.

Other high-profile funders are George Soros’s Open Society, the European Union, and the United Kingdom. Foreign governments have an adverse influence with the freedom of the press. Could DI be considered an agent for foreign governments and be required to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA)?

President Donald Trump has extended his endorsement to U.S. Representative Andy Biggs in the upcoming Arizona gubernatorial race.

This endorsement comes just months after Trump initially backed Karrin Taylor Robson.

It can be recalled that President Trump raised eyebrows during his Turning Point AmFest speech in Phoenix, Arizona last December, when he pledged to support RINO Karrin Taylor Robson for Arizona Governor in 2026.

Robson formerly ran in the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial primary, endorsed by turncoat RINO Mike Pence and RINO Governor Doug Ducey, against Trump-Endorsed Kari Lake. Unlike Lake, Karrin Taylor Robson refused to acknowledge the Stolen Election or admit that Joe Biden is an illegitimate President. She would have you think that Joe Biden won 81 million votes and is actually the most popular President in American history.

She further agreed that President Trump is a “drag on the Republican Party” shortly after he announced his reelection bid on November 15, 2022.

Additionally, Robson previously bundled donations for and donated to radical left Democrat Ruben Gallego, and more recently, she held a fundraiser for RINO Chris Christie’s bid for President against Trump.

Trump wrote on Truth Social:

“I like Karrin Taylor Robson of Arizona a lot, and when she asked me to Endorse her, with nobody else running, I Endorsed her, and was happy to do so. When Andy Biggs decided to run for Governor, quite unexpectedly, I had a problem — Two fantastic candidates, two terrific people, two wonderful champions, and it is therefore my Great Honor TO GIVE MY COMPLETE AND TOTAL ENDORSEMENT TO BOTH. Either one will never let you down. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

Biggs, a stalwart defender of constitutional liberties and a former chair of the House Freedom Caucus, has consistently championed policies that prioritize American citizens.

His leadership in challenging the status quo and advocating for election integrity has resonated deeply with grassroots conservatives.

Notably, Biggs was among the few who stood firm against establishment pressures, playing a pivotal role in the 2023 ousting of then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

In response to Trump’s endorsement, Biggs expressed his gratitude, stating, “Thank you, @realDonaldTrump! It’s been an honor to support you and fight for your agenda since 2016. I look forward to fighting along side you as Governor of Arizona, the greatest state in the nation!”

There once was a Japanese imperial officer who continued to fight World War II for nearly three decades after Japan had already surrendered.

Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick hasn’t quite reached that duration of futility, but it’s clear he’s planning to make a run for that record.

Kaepernick’s girlfriend, radio host Nessa Diab, all but confirmed his Sisyphean intentions with TMZ Sports.

When approached on the New York City street by the outlet, she was asked if Kaepernick is “still training” for an NFL comeback.

“All day, every day,” Diab enthusiastically responded. “Nothing has changed.”

“Is he still wanting to play [in the NFL]?” TMZ asked in follow-up.

“Of course he is,” Diab responded. “It’s all up to the teams [and] if they’ll let him.”

Well, far be it from this humble writer to disagree with the mother of Kaepernick’s child, but no, it’s really not up to the NFL teams.

The NFL is a meritocracy, first and foremost — and perhaps to a fault, if you look at the number of active and retired NFL players with all manner of disturbing allegations.

And no, you can’t scapegoat MAGA for this one, given that President Donald Trump has literally said that he thinks Kaepernick should play in the NFL if he “deserves it.”

No, Team Kaep, it’s exactly what Trump hinted at: It’s really up to the 37-year-old quarterback (who would turn 38 early into this coming NFL season) and whether or not he’s an NFL-caliber quarterback.

And from every indication, both past and recent, he’s not.

The last time we saw Kaepernick as an actual NFL player, the then-29-year-old San Francisco 49ers quarterback was benched for journeyman Blaine Gabbert on a dismal 2-14 team in the 2016 season.

That last year of actual NFL playing time saw Kaepernick post high-end backup quarterback numbers, where his 16 touchdown-4 interception counting stats were offset by his poor 59.2 percent passing (most modern NFL quarterbacks are expected at minimum to hit 60 percent of their passes, with most good quarterbacks throwing in the mid-60’s and best quarterbacks flirting with close to 70 percent).

If that was the last relevant representation of what Kaepernick brings to an NFL product — again, eight years ago — what in the world should anyone, let alone an NFL franchise desperate enough at quarterback to give Kaepernick a glance, expect after nearly a decade of atrophy?

Training “all day, every day” doesn’t slow the progress of time, and at this point in 2025, what would be the point of an NFL team signing a bad backup quarterback? There are tons of those sorts of players out there, and plenty among them that don’t have the baggage, notoriety, or the likely media circus Kaepernick comes with (see: the above TMZ video again).

And to be clear, that also means that, yes, this writer truly believes that if Kaepernick were Tom Brady 2.0, he would be back in the NFL by now, regardless of those contemptible anthem protest trends he started by kneeling for “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

But Kaepernick obviously is not Brady, and there’s simply no earthly way that he’s gotten better in his now eight-year hiatus (he last played Jan. 1, 2017) from playing professional football.

Let it go, man. The “comeback” was sad three years ago, and has only gotten sadder since.

Having your girlfriend write checks for you that your body, age, and skills clearly can’t cash is not doing your already beleaguered image any good.

Since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, America has been the undisputed global hegemon. But that era is over. A new great-power rivalry has emerged between the United States and China—one unlike any before.

The rivalry between America and China significantly differs from the geopolitical contest between the U.S. and the USSR; the Sino–American relationship is both paradoxical and parasitic. As China has risen to become a near-peer geopolitical adversary, it has also become an indispensable trading partner that manufactures many critical items for U.S consumption, such as pharmaceuticals and microchips.

China’s ascendancy now threatens to cut off the supply of more advanced semiconductors made in Taiwan if Beijing opts for military action against the small island nation, potentially dragging the U.S. into a prolonged and bloody conflict.

Given this reality, neoconservatives are now in an awkward position of both advocating for war against China if Taiwan is attacked, while refusing to take the necessary (and difficult) steps to strengthen American manufacturing and lessen America’s economic dependence on the Communist state.

Understanding the dire situation America finds itself in, J.D. Vance recently posted on X, “There is a category of DC insider who wants to fight an actual war with China but also wants China to manufacture much of our critical supply. This is insane. President Trump wants peace, but also wants fair trade and more self-reliance for the American economy.”

Vance articulates a paradox that is not merely the product of circumstance—it is one that the United States played a central role in creating.

China’s ascent as a great power began in the late 1990s and early 2000s when President Clinton strongly advocated granting permanent normal trade relations (PNTR) with China, a precursor to China joining the World Trade Organization in 2001 under President George W. Bush.

Clinton believed bringing China into the global community would expand trade opportunities for the United States and help democracy make inroads within the Communist State.

In a speech given at the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies of Johns Hopkins University in March 2000, Clinton stated that, if China were to enter the WTO,

For the first time, our companies will be able to sell and distribute products in China made by workers here in America without being forced to relocate manufacturing to China, sell through the Chinese government, or transfer valuable technology. We’ll be able to export products without exporting jobs.

Clinton added, “The more China liberalizes its economy, the more fully it will liberate the potential of its people—their initiative, their imagination, their remarkable spirit of enterprise. And when individuals have the power, not just to dream but to realize their dreams, they will demand a greater say.”

Of course, none of this came to fruition.

Rather than fully liberalizing, China selectively embraced free-market principles when advantageous and discarded them when strategic. This strategy enabled China to accelerate its economic and military rise and grow its middle class by exploiting America’s worship of GDP growth and unrelenting desire for cheap consumer goods. 

This was not the win-win as President Clinton alluded to before China’s admittance to the WTO, but instead came at the expense of American domestic manufacturing and its middle class.

To understand just how bad things have gotten, let’s examine two metrics that expose the dire state of American manufacturing and national security: munitions and shipbuilding.

In 2023, the U.S. Army Science Board expressed grave concern that the nation’s industrial base “may be incapable of meeting the munitions demand created by a potential future fight against a peer adversary.”

The war in Ukraine confirmed that fear, exposing the fact that the U.S. not only failed to manufacture enough artillery shells, but that it also couldn’t build drones, rockets, and missiles fast enough because America lacks sufficient stockpiles of the necessary components.

As for America’s Navy, its surface fleet is aging and has difficulty keeping its ships in working order. Incredibly, in 2023, less than 68 percent of U.S. surface fleet ships were deemed “mission-capable,” along with only 63 percent of attack submarines during the same period. 

And what about building new ships? Sadly, American shipyards can’t even build three destroyers per year. The U.S. does not come close to keeping up with China’s incredible pace of shipbuilding: China reportedly has 13 shipyards that can build “large and deep draft ships” compared to only seven in the United States. Just one Chinese shipyard has more shipbuilding capacity than all American shipyards combined.

In light of this dire reality, the United States must abandon four decades of neoconservative orthodoxy rooted in unchallenged global hegemony, “free trade,” and endless foreign interventionism in the name of “democracy” and instead, craft a foreign and domestic policy that puts Americans first.

Months before being selected as Trump’s vice president, Vance spoke at a conference held by the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft and The American Conservative, offering his thoughts on what this foreign policy for the American middle class could look like.

Then Senator Vance discussed how the strength of America’s domestic manufacturing, middle class, and foreign policy is inextricably linked.

“If we are not able to be self-reliant, if we can’t manufacture our own pharmaceuticals, our own munitions, the components that Americans rely on for their everyday life, then we are never going to be able to build the kind of middle class that we want in this country.”

Vance added, “The most important component of projecting power overseas is actually having a strong domestic manufacturing economy here at home.”

Fortunately, the Trump administration has attempted to chart a new course towards economic nationalism, understanding that we cannot remain entangled in a parasitic economic relationship with our greatest geopolitical rival. To truly be secure as a nation, we must reclaim our economic sovereignty by restoring our industrial might.

In a recent piece in The Atlantic, Reuel Marc Gerecht, a senior fellow with the neoconservative Foundation for Defense of Democracies, urged the United States to confront Turkey. According to Gerecht, Turkey has emerged, under the presidency of Recep Tayyip Erdogan, “as perhaps the greatest danger to Israel in the Middle East, escalating the threat of a conflict he won’t be able to avoid.” Gerecht charges Erdogan with setting the stage for a clash with Israel as a key tactic in his power projection strategy abroad.

To reduce the risk of “yet another regional war,” Gerecht urges President Donald Trump to take a tougher line on Turkey, admonishing him that calling Erdogan a “friend,” as Trump did, “won’t cut it.”

Gerecht is a neoconservative hawk. He advocated for the 2003 invasion of Iraq and now advocates for U.S. strikes on Iran. His piece targeting Turkey doesn’t advocate war with that country, but it nonetheless exemplifies the persistent flaws of the neoconservative worldview: an exaggerated perception of threat, a conflation of American and Israeli interests, and a failure to prioritize among global challenges in ways that emphasize the U.S. national interest. 

As for threat perception, Gerecht’s portrayal of Turkey as a menace to the West is hyperbolic. There is no doubt that Erdogan is an authoritarian leader bent on dismantling Turkey’s democracy. He had his most formidable political challenger, Istanbul’s mayor Ekrem Imamoglu from the opposition People’s Republican Party, arrested and disqualified from running for election. Worse, Erdogan’s foreign policy is assertive, particularly in Syria, where Ankara supported Sunni Islamists with roots in Al Qaeda as they toppled the country’s secular president Bashar al-Assad. In the South Caucasus, Erdogan backed Azerbaijani dictator Ilham Aliyev’s war against Armenia, which resulted in ethnic cleansing of more than 100,000 Christian Armenians from the Nagorno-Karabakh region.

Yet none of that directly threatens U.S. interests. While undermining Turkish democracy is deplorable, it is up to the Turkish people, not Washington, to resist the drift into autocracy. Throughout history, Turkey’s vibrant society has amply demonstrated its democratic resilience, and it is doing so again by protesting Erdogan’s power grab. As for Syria, however distasteful the new Turkish-backed rulers in Damascus may be, they are focused on consolidating their domestic rule, not waging a global jihad against America.

Moreover, Ankara remains an important partner for Washington. It has NATO’s second-largest military, hosts a joint U.S.-Turkish airbase in Incirlik, and controls the strategic Bosphorus and Dardanelles straits in the Black Sea. While Erdogan’s failure to enforce sanctions against Russia drew criticisms from Western supporters of Ukraine, Trump likely sees Erdogan’s channels of communication with Russian President Vladimir Putin as a valuable asset in the efforts to end the Ukraine war. Like it or not, Turkey’s strategic advantages and diplomatic standing mean it is poised to play a relevant role in resolving the conflict. 

Rather than demonizing Turkey, as Gerecht is doing, a realist approach would involve pragmatic diplomacy that keeps Ankara tethered to the West while seeking to limit, where possible, Erdogan’s worst excesses at home and abroad. This approach is likely to work better anyway. Overheated rhetoric would inflame tensions without delivering anything of value to Washington except a sense of moral self-righteousness.

Gerecht’s piece also reveals a troubling tendency to prioritize Israel’s security over America’s. Gerecht frets over Ankara’s criticisms of Israel and its support for Hamas and Syrian Islamists. Yet despite Gerecht’s framing, these actions by Turkey are not direct challenges to the U.S. Indeed, they may not even be direct challenges to Israel.

Erdogan’s inflammatory rhetoric against the Jewish state is mostly performative: During Israel’s assault on Gaza following the October 7, 2023 terrorist attack by Hamas, Turkey never stopped oil shipments to Israel from Azerbaijan, even though they pass through the Turkish territory. Ankara’s actions in Syria are similarly less hostile to Israeli interests than they may seem. The primary motivation there was not to threaten Israel, but to eliminate the perceived threat to Turkey posed by the radical leftist Kurdish guerrillas allied with the terrorist Kurdish Workers’ Party. 

Gerecht is worried that the Turkish-backed Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) now ruling in Damascus could, in time, become a Sunni version of Hezbollah, an anti-Israel militant group in Lebanon. However, both Ankara and the new Syrian leaders went out of their way to emphasize that they are not seeking a war with Israel. To the extent that this reluctance may change and give way to a more assertive stance, Israel mostly has itself to blame. Under the guise of creating “buffer zones,” Israel engaged in systematic destruction of Syria’s military capabilities and occupation of Syrian territory, actions that have continued after the collapse of the Assad regime and the rise to power of HTS. These moves incentivize Turkey to do more, not less, to boost the military capabilities of the new Syrian government, making Israel’s worries a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Aggressive Israeli moves in Syria undermine not only Turkey’s interests, but also America’s. Trump has consistently voiced his desire for the U.S. to leave Syria, but chaos in the country could complicate that objective. During Trump’s first term, his own officials sabotaged an ordered troop withdrawal. Now, he is trying again to bring U.S. forces back from Syria, but hawks inside and outside the administration will look for any reason to keep them there, including a supposed need to safeguard Israel’s security. Israel, meanwhile, has formidable military capabilities, both conventional and nuclear. It is perfectly capable of defending itself. The job of the U.S. government is to protect Americans, not to police Israel’s neighbors, especially when doing so entails turning troops into sitting ducks in conflict zones.

Gerecht and his ilk, in addition to vilifying Turkey, are also advocating U.S. military strikes against Iran. Such proposed strikes are advertised as “limited,” but they likely would drag America into another Forever War in the Middle East. Iran, of course, is another of Israel’s foes that poses little threat to the American homeland. A U.S. war with Iran would stretch resources thin and risk strategic over-commitment at a time when Washington should focus on China, a peer competitor. Turkey’s objectionable policies and Iran’s regional ambitions are, for the U.S., secondary concerns that distract from paramount strategic imperatives. A sensible U.S. policy in the Middle East would engage both Turkey and Iran diplomatically—something Trump has shown a willingness to do. It would also decouple U.S. interests from Israel’s and focus on the true strategic interests of the American nation. The U.S. is not the world’s policeman, nor Israel’s bodyguard, and now is a good time to shed neoconservative fantasies that suggest otherwise.

Dylan Bryan Adams – Walz staffer arrested for keying Tesla

Soros-backed Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty will not seek criminal charges for the Tim Walz staffer who vandalized at least six Teslas in Minnesota, causing $20,000 in damage.

The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office will seek “diversion” rather than criminal charges.

Last week, TGP reported that a fiscal policy analyst for Minnesota Governor (and failed VP candidate) Tim Walz’s administration was caught on camera vandalizing a Tesla.

Dylan Bryan Adams, 33, was caught on camera keying a Tesla while walking his dog.

Adams was arrested last week but he likely won’t face any real consequences because the corrupt Hennepin County attorney won’t seek criminal charges.

“Our main priorities are to secure restitution for the victims and hold Mr. Adams accountable. As a result, we will file for pre-charge diversion to best facilitate both of those goals,” Hennepin County Attorney’s Office spokesperson Daniel Borgertpoepping told Fox 9. “This is an approach taken in many property crime cases and helps to ensure the individual keeps their job and can pay restitution, as well as reducing the likelihood of repeat offenses. Criminal prosecution remains a possibility should unlawful behavior continue.”

The Minneapolis Police Department blasted the HCAO in a statement to Fox 9:

“The Minneapolis Police Department did its job. It identified and investigated a crime trend, identified, and arrested a suspect, and presented a case file to the Hennepin County Attorney Office for consideration of charges. This case impacted at least six different victims and totaled over $20,000 in damages. Any frustration related to the charging decision of the Hennepin County Attorney should be directed solely at her office. Our investigators are always frustrated when the cases they poured their hearts into are declined. In my experience, the victims in these cases often feel the same.”

Joe Biden is desperately trying to remain relevant in American politics. He recently gave some disastrous remarks in Chicago and is reportedly trying to charge $300,000 for speeches.

Democrats, who are still furious about their 2024 loss, want Biden to just go away and stay out of the public spotlight and who can blame them?

Every time Biden appears in public and opens his mouth, the American people are reminded that Democrats and the media openly lied to the public about his mental and physical decline.

BREAKING: Democratic Party members are angry with Joe Biden and do not want to see him in the public eye any longer, according to Jill Biden’s former communications director.

FOX News reports:

Democratic figures and even the former first family’s aides are saying that former President Biden needs to stay out of politics, according to a new report from ‘The Hill.’

The outlet’s senior political correspondent, Amie Parnes, spoke to former first lady Jill Biden’s communications director Michael LaRosa, who stated that Biden’s staff needs to steer him away from the spotlight because the party is not interested in seeing him.

‘If they had advisers who had their hand on the pulse of the Democratic Party or national politics, they would have understood the intense level of anger or indifference to them that remains inside our party and isn’t going away anytime soon,’ the former Biden staffer said.

Parnes spoke to LaRosa following Biden’s speech at a disability advocacy conference in Chicago earlier this week. The speech, which the ex-president gave on the state of the Social Security Administration, was Biden’s first major address since leaving the White House in January.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries appeared on ABC News over the weekend and openly defied the recently announced strategy of DNC vice chair David Hogg, who is planning to primary members of his own party.

This is the second time in a week that Hogg has been called out by a high level Democrat. Dem strategist James Carville called David Hogg ‘a contemptible little twerp’ during a recent appearance on NewsNation.

The DNC made a huge mistake in appointing Hogg as vice chair. He is an activist. He has zero experience in getting people elected to office.

The New York Post reports:

Dem Jeffries brushes aside DNC big David Hogg’s primary plan, vows to stand by incumbents

Dem House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Sunday rejected a Democratic National Committee big’s controversial plan to fund primary challenges against passive party members in safe districts.

Jeffries of New York instead touted his intent to back all House Democratic incumbents across the country in the 2026 cycle and push the party to focus on knocking off Republicans.

“I look forward to standing behind every single Democratic incumbent, from the most progressive to the most centrist and all points in between,” Jeffries told ABC News’ “This Week” when asked about the opposing stance by Democratic National Committee Vice Chairman David Hogg.

“They’re working hard in their communities, rising to the occasion,” Jeffries said of Dem incumbents.

Last week, Hogg, who has been serving as one of three DNC vice chairs since February, announced that his organization, “Leaders We Deserve,” will pump out $20 million to challenge low-key House Dem incumbents in favor of more combative contenders.

In January of this year, tasked by President Trump, Ric Grenell traveled to Venezuela for the United States as an envoy for special missions.

Not much was reported about this trip taken by Grenell. In fact, in a quick search, all that was found were only a few stories.

This story came to my attention through a J6er. Immediately and without hesitation, I agreed to try and help, knowing it is something that the American people need to know.

At the time of Grenell’s trip, an unknown number of American citizens were being held hostage by the Government of Nicholas Madura [a government that most question the validity of].

Reports ranged from 6 to 10 hostages behind bars in deplorable conditions. When Grenell came out of his meeting with Madura, he had secured the release of 6 American hostages.

This was a great day for these 6 hostages as well as Grenell, the new Trump administration, and America. These 6 men were flown home, now safe and far away from the horrific conditions of the Venezuelan prison. President Trump sent out an X post about how proud he was of his entire staff and Ric Grenell, and rightly so.

All smiles on board the plane!

However, what no one bothered to post about is that there are still 9 hostages left suffering in that exact prison the 6 were brought home from. 9 American men, the most American Hostages in one foreign prison anywhere in the world.

Joseph St. Clair and Wilbert Casteneda are just two of the 9 hostages. St. Clair is an Air Force veteran, and Casteneda is an active-duty Navy SEAL.

Both were kidnapped and held hostage by Madura’s government. The exact amount of time these two have been kept in captivity is uncertain due to a lack of communication.

Scott St. Clair, father of Joseph, has been advocating for his son since he was alerted of his capture after the release of the six hostages in January.

“I received a call from an international number and against all odds I answered,” he then said, “It was a call telling me that my son was being held, I had no idea prior to that call.”

USAF Veteran Joseph St. Clair

Joseph a highly decorated USAF Vet has been diagnosed with PTSD after his military service. At the time of his capture, he was working in Columbia as a linguist.

From some information that was gathered, after the release of the 6 other hostages, it is believed that Joseph may have been visiting an area that was close to the Colombia/Venezuela border when he was kidnapped.

Christian Casteneda, brother of Navy Seal Wilbert, has heard very little about his brother except that his brother is, as of January 31st, still alive. The lack of communication and information is frustrating and hurtful to all the families of these men.

Proof of life has not been offered for any of the hostages’ families. Through all this suffering, God has drawn the families together. The families have grown close and have become a support system for each other.

Some within the Trump administration have been available to the families, and yet these 9 men are still being held. The American people need to help stand up for these families. This is, or should be, a non-partisan issue.

There are democrat representatives fighting for criminals and illegals, and we have two young men who have fought for us, We the People, in one of the worst prisons in the world, having who knows what done to them. We Americans should be outraged that this has been overlooked.

OUR FAMILY IS CONFIDENT IN YOUR LEADERSHIP AND TRACK RECORD WITH HOSTAGE RELEASES. BUT WE ARE VERY UPSET THAT MADURO REFUSES TO SHOW PROOF OF LIFE FOR OUR SON WHO SUFFERS FROM PTSD. FORCIBLE DISAPPEARANCE LEAVES US BLIND AND CONCERNED ABOUT HIS WELL… pic.twitter.com/kw1xAlcdRF

On April 30th in Washington, DC, there will be a rally and a mural unveiling of the 9 hostages still languishing in a foreign prison run by a questionable government.

These families are asking that if you are in DC or can come to DC, that you join them to advocate for these American brothers, fathers, sons, uncles and friends. If you are unable to attend, please share the information. BringOurFamiliesHome.org

I was able to sit down with Scott St. Clair and Christian Casteneda to hear the stories about what is happening with their families. You can watch that interview HERE:
