AWKWARD: NBC’s Data Guru Had No Idea What to Say to Audience as Voting SNAFUs Unfolded in Wisconsin (VIDEO)

Screencap of Twitter/X video.

The Wisconsin Democrat primary for governor was a real nail-biter last night. Hong was up, then down. Crowley was up, then down. It went on this way for hours.

Then, Wisconsin election officials came out and claimed that there was a problem related to five data sticks that weren’t properly downloaded or some such nonsense.

At this point, NBC data guru Steve Kornacki, who had been following the race all night, had nothing to say. He seemed like a man who had been thoroughly beaten. He usually has an answer for anything that Democrats do, but in this case he was at a loss for words.

It was possibly the most awkward moment in political media ever.

The Daily Caller has details:

NBC News national political correspondent Steve Kornacki appeared stunned Tuesday when an error occurred in counting the votes in Wisconsin’s gubernatorial primary.

Democratic Socialist of America (DSA) candidate Francesca Hong lost to Democratic Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate David Crowley by less than 1% after polls indicated she had a comfortable lead. During the “Kornacki Cam” segment on NBC News, Kornacki was at a loss for words when he learned that Milwaukee County officials announced five flash drives had botched voting data, meaning there would be delays in counting the votes.

“Really? Really?” Kornacki muttered. “So we’re just back to square one on this?”

Kornacki did not know how to respond live on-air to the delay. He looked into the camera and told viewers he was disappointed he would have to step off the air without the final results.

“It really is coming down to this one giant update in Milwaukee, but man … we, we … waited 90 minutes for them, they did this whole procession, and then we find out there’s nothing on the sticks … I want you to know I hate, hate doing this to you because we’ve been … I know you’re here for results and we’ve come to the point where it’s like one thing away. I hope you understand that everyone here has been for a long time,” Kornacki said.

Watch the video. This is really painful:

He is like a man who has just witnessed a horrible crime and doesn’t want to admit it to himself.

kind of sad, really.

Former MSNBC Host Chris Matthews DOES NOT Have a Thrill Running Up His Leg for the DSA: ‘All This Crap’ (VIDEO)

Screencap of Twitter/X video.

You can count former MSNBC host Chris Matthews among the Democrats who are not happy about the DSA takeover of the party.

Appearing on MSNOW’s Morning Joe this morning, Matthews reacted to the Wisconsin Democrat primary last night and lashed out at the DSA for forcing all Democrats to have to defend ‘all this crap’ that they have introduced in this election cycle.

Matthews went as far as to suggest that the DSA people have done a favor to the non-DSA Democrats by setting themselves apart.

He ripped the DSA on their desire to get rid of ICE and the border, defund the Pentagon and more. You know things are bad when Chris Matthews starts sounding like one of the reasonable ones.

Partial transcript via Townhall:

MATTHEWS: “We’re going to get rid of ICE. Not just ICE. We’re going to get rid of the border. We’re not going to have a border anymore. We’re not going to effectively control people entering and leaving the country… We’re going to get rid of prisons. We’re going to get rid of the Pentagon.”

“Well, what happens when your hostages are your former diplomats — like what happened with President Carter? People take your diplomats hostage. What do you do then? You need an army. You don’t like to have an army, but you do need to have one.”

“AOC… came out and said, ‘We’re just a big tent party.’”

“Well, the problem with the big tent defense is every Democrat has to defend all this crap coming from the left. They’ve got to say, ‘I believe in all this crazy stuff, and that makes me a Democrat.’ You’ve got to say, ‘No, no, I’m not a member of the DSA, and here’s why,’ and make it very clear.”

Watch the whole thing below:

There is a major rift happening within the Democrat Party, whether they are willing to admit it or not.

The DSA may have taken a beating in Wisconsin, but they are far from finished.

Frank Luntz Calls for ‘Total and Complete Shutdown of Primary Polling’ After Polls Got Michigan and Wisconsin So Wrong (VIDEO)

Screencap of Twitter/X video.

One of the most remarkable aspects of the last two Democrat primaries in Wisconsin and Michigan is how utterly wrong the polls were.

Abdul El-Sayed was supposed to win by double digits, according to the polls. He squeaked out a win by one point. Francesca Hong was supposed to win in a landslide, according to the polls. She ended up losing. What is going on?

Pollster and political analyst Frank Luntz took to Twitter/X last night and called for a complete shutdown of primary polling in the midwest.

He talked about this on Newsmax today:

Pollster and communication strategist Frank Luntz told Newsmax that political pollsters must begin to admit they aren’t always right.

Luntz told Ed Henry on “The Big Take” on Wednesday that “what we have now are pollsters on both sides, Democrats and Republicans, not acknowledging how wrong they are, how they cannot make these projections.”

Luntz said the math doesn’t work with low voter turnouts that happen often.

“How,” he explained, “when you get turnouts of 15% electorate, you can’t make a conclusion or a projection. And pollsters need to stop doing this.”

Luntz posted about the issue in the early hours of Wednesday in connection with the Wisconsin governor’s race, where democratic socialist Francesca Hong had been declared as carrying large, double-digit leads over eventual winner David Crowley.

“I am calling for a total and complete shutdown of primary polling in the Midwestern United States,” he wrote, “until we can figure out what the hell is going on.”

Luntz told Henry that he was among those pollsters in 2016 who went all-in on Hillary Clinton winning the presidency…

Luntz said people who release political polling need to stand up and admit that “this is not a science,” he said. “It is an art, and you need to be much more careful about what you say and how you conclude.

Watch the video below:

The polls have been ridiculously wrong, but as you may have noticed, it always goes in the same direction.

It always benefits the far left. Funny that.

AMAZING! CNN Plays the Race Card without Knowing the Facts – Laments Death of Southern Woman Hanging from Tree “Evokes Painful Memories”

You just can’t hate the mainstream media enough.

The body of Tasia Fortune was found hanging from a tree on August 3rd in Jackson, Mississippi.

Tasia’s black boyfriend, who lives on the same street as she does, was arrested and is being held on a bond set at $250,000 for being a felon in possession of a firearm.

The boyfriend, Terrence Anderson, lives with the five-year-old boy they had together.

He has not been charged with Tasia’s murder but did say the two recently had a fight.

Terrence Anderson was arrested for being a felon in possession of a firearm. He has not been charged with Tasia’s murder.

According to WLBT: Police also said that the two were in a relationship. However, Anderson denied that claim when officers asked.

Are we the only ones that think a $250,000 bond is a bit steep for a felon being in possession of a firearm?

There are many questions that still remain.
But CNN hack Omar Jimenez has already jumped on the racism bandwagon.

They are reporting on the racist imagery of past lynchings!

CNN’s Omar Jimenez: Again, a lot we still don’t know here, uh, but obviously the raw imagery of a Black person hanging from a tree in the American South evokes a very painful history.

We will keep following this story as we hear of new developments.

OOPS! Jen Psaki Makes a Horrible Admission About the Democrat Party’s Nominating Process on the Air (VIDEO)

Screencap of YouTube video.

Jen Psaki admitting something horrible about the Democrat Party on MSNOW last night, during their coverage of the Wisconsin Democrat primary for governor.

Psaki came right out and admitted that the leaders of the Democrat Party typically choose the party’s nominees, not the voters.

Everyone knows this is true. Obviously, no one voted to make Kamala Harris the 2024 Democrat presidential nominee, but you don’t expect to hear someone like Psaki admit this on the air.

From the Vigilant Fox:

Jen Psaki admits on MSNBC that Democratic Party leadership used to “SELECT” the nominees, and nobody was allowed to say it out loud until now.

PSAKI: “We both remember well when party leadership really selected the nominees.”

“Now, you would never say it that way exactly, but they would. Now we can [say it]. We’re free!”

“They really did, because they would put money behind it. They would endorse. And now it looks very much like party leaders are not picking the nominees.”

“In fact, party leaders pushing nominees is a negative.”

The party that claimed to represent “democracy” never trusted its own voters to pick their nominees.

Watch the clip:

During the same show, Psaki had a freakout moment about the polling being so wrong.

From Overton News:

PSAKI: “Okay, I know we’ve been talking about this, but it’s just worth restating that most polls headed into election day show Democratic Socialist Francesca Hong with a VERY safe double digit lead in the Wisconsin gubernatorial primary.”

“And she could certainly still win…but as you can see, with a little more than half of the vote in Francesca Hong is down to the establishment backed candidate, David Crowley, which is, I think, not where most people expected this to sit, with 51% of the vote in…”

“What’s interesting to me, one of the things is that there was over 100,000 people who voted in July, and during early vote and vote by mail. That was a period of time where Crowley was in and out of the…he was in and out of the race, right?”

Watch:

MSNOW is a total clown show.

“Not a Legal Order” – CNN Hyperventilates Over Trump’s Plane Swap in Turkey (VIDEO)

CNN hyperventilated over the Secret Service’s decision to move President Trump to an alternate plane when he departed Ankara, Turkey last month.

President Trump took a secret flight from Turkey to the UK on an alternate military aircraft on July 8 after he was quietly moved from Air Force One due to an Iranian threat.

The US reportedly knew of a shoulder-fired missile threat against Air Force One and secretly moved the president to a smaller plane.

According to a leak to The Washington Post, Air Force One was used as a ‘decoy’ while President Trump flew on a smaller C-32A plane. Pool reporters thought they were flying with President Trump from Turkey to the UK.

However, President Trump was quietly moved from Air Force One to the smaller plane by jumping into an airport catering truck.

President Trump on Tuesday evening confirmed he secretly switched planes last month as he departed Ankara, Turkey.

Trump stopped to talk to reporters after he returned to DC from attending the Patriot Games final in Ohio.

A reporter asked President Trump about a leak to the Washington Post that revealed he secretly switched planes as he departed Turkey for the UK and used Air Force One as a ‘decoy.’

“It’s only up to the Secret Service. I just follow what they’d like to do. So, I go by the Secret Service and the military. They wanted me to go on a different flight, a different plane,” Trump told reporters.

“I guess there was a threat out there. I didn’t really ask too much about it,” Trump said.

“I think actually the plane that I flew on was at greater risk. I think it was at greater risk because that would be the plane I think that they would be more likely to go for,” Trump said.

CNN crowed over President Trump’s plane switch (Bill Clinton used a similar plane swap maneuver in 2000).

“If it was not safe for the president to be on that flight, how was it safe for the media to be on that flight? And to be lied to,” a CNN guest said.

“Someone needs to tell me why that is a legal order,” she said.

In another segment, CNN claimed the reporters on Air Force One were “decoys” and “unwitting targets.”

Graphic: UK Cop Tries to Arrest Man Who Bought Baseball Bat and Carried It Out of Store, Crowd Comes to Man’s Defense Instead of Cop’s

A man in Manchester, United Kingdom, is detained after purchasing a baseball bat, according to British activist Tommy Robinson on Aug. 9, 2026.

The United Kingdom’s police force is beyond satire. They resemble something out of a comedy skit, but no one is laughing at their enforcement of one-sided draconian laws.

Instead, the world is horrified and outraged at the absurd lengths officers will go to arrest people.

We can now add purchasing a baseball bat to that list along with mean words and posting memes online.

On Sunday, British activist Tommy Robinson posted footage of an arrest being made by an officer for that exact reason. The man being detained had just purchased a bat from a nearby store.

It was still in the packaging, as the fed-up crowd repeatedly yelled. Multiple officers were on the scene to assist.

Again, this was all for a man holding a baseball bat he’d just bought.

WARNING: The following footage contains language some viewers may find offensive. 

“It’s in the package you idiot!” one man told the officer.

Assisting officers arrived and formed a perimeter around their fellow officers making the arrest.

The man was escorted away in handcuffs and hauled into the back of a van.

If the viewer were to only see footage of the arrest without viewing the initial altercation, the assumption would be that this man had done something truly heinous.

Maybe he was a terrorist preaching violence or a predator grooming a young girl? That could not be the case as either offense in the United Kingdom would see him unbothered.

The inverse would be taking place with officers forming a protective perimeter around him so that he could continue to act unhindered.

PJ Media reported that the arrest happened in Manchester, but the outlet noted that the facts before the footage began are not known.

With the available information, even British law does not permit this insanity.

PJ Media reported that the country has a law, The Prevention of Crime Act 1953, which classifies offensive weapons as objects made to cause injury, objects adapted to cause injury, and objects not made or adapted to cause injury but carried with the intention of causing injury, either offensively or defensively.

They can also stop and search suspects when they suspect a weapon or another prohibited item is on a person.

Should the man have just complied and sued the police force?

Is it better that he made a display of the arrest so onlookers can walk away with the image burned in their minds of how oppressive policing has become?

Regardless, British police are tyrants for even trying this.

WHOA! 41-Yr-Old Muslim Socialist-Dem Senate Candidate Abdul Mohammed El-Sayed Appears To Suggest Using Violence Against His 63-Yr-Old Republican Opponent Mike Rogers [VIDEO]

Ever since the America-hating Dearborn Muslim Abdul Mohammed El-Sayed became the Democratic Party’s Socialist candidate for U.S. Senate, videos have been popping up across X revealing how deeply he hates whites, American history, ICE, law enforcement, the 2nd Amendment, and Capitalism. One of the videos that’s been resurrected and posted by anti-Muslim invasion of America advocate Amy Mek shows a speech that he gave at an event sponsored by CAIR. CAIR has been designated/labeled a terrorist organization by the UAE and certain U.S. state governments, like Texas and Florida.

Watch:

In a shocking post on X today, 41-year-old Socialist- Democrat U.S. Senate candidate Abdul Mohammed El-Sayed appears to be advocating for violence against his 63-year-old Republican opponent Mike Rogers.

El-Sayed’s thinly veiled threat appeared on X in response to an interview Mike Rogers had with Fox News host Sean Hannity.

In the interview, the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate can be heard stating facts discovered in videos about El-Sayed, Michigan’s most dangerous candidate to ever run for Senate in the state’s history, possibly in the nation’s history.

Mike Rogers told Sean Hannity, “You can almost hear a collective gasp across Michigan for all the things he [El-Sayed] spends time hating on,” adding, “When I go back, I wanna make sure we’re protecting our faith in our families in our factories and our freedoms while he’s advocating doing away with our fireworks, football, the Fourth of July. This guy spent hours hating on what most Michigan would enjoy in their pastimes, and he should be held to account for that. These are views that he held, that he was pretty strong about, but he knew that he had to delete them all, for if people really knew who he was, they wouldn’t vote for him. So you’re right-it’s just a matter of making sure we have the resources and the people that are out there fighting what I think is the heart and soul of the country in this particular race.”

El-Sayed shot back with what sure appears to be a threat on X: “Since you’re too afraid to debate me, how about you “hold me accountable” on a football field instead.” El-Sayed tweeted. “Tackle, no pads like we used to play when we were kids,” the childish phony medical doctor said, warning, “I’d be happy to show you how much I love football.”

The guy seen dancing like he’s at a drag show minus the dress for two of his campaign videos is the same guy who’s threatening U.S. Senate candidate Mike Rogers to a game of “tackle football— without pads.”

Seems like a pattern with effeminate Democrat men running for office. Remember when Joe Biden threatened he’d like to take President Trump “behind the gym?”

When will the clowns running for top government positions grow up? Or has violence become the Democrats’ preferred way of settling disagreements?

ANOTHER DEMOCRAT BALLOT SCANDAL: Former NJ Mayor Gina LaPlaca and Husband Hit With New Criminal Charges for Forging Signatures to Fraudulently Get on Democratic Primary Ballot

They can’t win without CHEATING! The modern Democrat Party is completely LAWLESS.

Former Lumberton Township Mayor and current Committeewoman Gina LaPlaca, along with her husband, Democratic operative Jason Carty, are facing a new round of criminal charges after prosecutors say they submitted fraudulent signatures to place LaPlaca on the June Democratic primary ballot for the Lumberton Township Committee.

Burlington County Prosecutor LaChia L. Bradshaw’s office announced the charges this week. An investigation found that multiple people whose names and purported signatures appeared on LaPlaca’s nominating petition never signed it and never authorized anyone to sign on their behalf. Without those fake signatures, LaPlaca would not have had enough valid signatures to qualify for the ballot at all.

LaPlaca, 47, signed a sworn affidavit claiming she had “personally circulated the petition” and that every signature was in the voter’s own handwriting. Investigators determined her husband Carty, 49, also collected signatures. The petition was submitted to the Lumberton Township Municipal Clerk by Carty.

The charges:

  • LaPlaca faces fourth-degree making a false statement under oath, third-degree knowingly filing a false petition, two counts of third-degree tampering with public records or information, and fourth-degree falsifying or tampering with records.
  • Carty faces third-degree knowingly filing a false petition, two counts of third-degree tampering with public records or information, and fourth-degree falsifying or tampering with records.

Both are scheduled to appear in Superior Court in Mount Holly on September 21.

Official Burlington County results show LaPlaca finishing dead last in the three-candidate race for two committee seats. She received just 323 votes, or 13.03 percent.

This is not LaPlaca’s first brush with the law.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, LaPlaca pleaded guilty earlier this year to DUI and fourth-degree child abuse after driving intoxicated with her two-year-old child in the vehicle.

Authorities said her blood-alcohol concentration was 0.30 percent, nearly four times New Jersey’s legal limit, after she picked up the child from daycare on St. Patrick’s Day 2025.

Despite the disturbing circumstances, LaPlaca avoided incarceration and was admitted into New Jersey’s Pretrial Intervention program. She received three years of supervision, mandatory Alcoholics Anonymous attendance, an ignition-interlock requirement, and additional court-ordered conditions.

Just days before the June primary, police responded to a domestic incident at the couple’s home. Carty was charged with aggravated assault by strangulation. LaPlaca initially claimed he “literally tried to kill me,” then later recanted in a sworn statement, admitting she had been “under the influence” and made false allegations.

Despite the scandals, LaPlaca still made it onto the Democratic primary ballot, thanks, prosecutors say, to the fraudulent petition. Lumberton Democrats rejected her anyway.

Meta Faces Criminal Complaint in Germany for Its AI-Glasses, Accused of Violating Privacy Laws

AI-Generated Image by Grok

Who wants to be filmed all the time?

The struggle between new, useful tech gadgets and the objections that these new capabilities raise is a field expected to grow in the next few years, and make many lawyers very wealthy.

One such example is the Meta AI-Glasses.

In principle, it seems a great idea to pack so much computing power in a pair of glasses for our benefit.

But once you start to compute the legal and ethical objections that this gadget raises, it becomes a much less clear question.

Today (12), a German advocacy group took matters into their own hands, and filed a criminal complaint against Meta and other companies, ‘arguing the devices violate privacy laws’.

Reuters reported:

“Digital rights group HateAid said in a statement on Wednesday that the launch of the devices, the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer in particular, broke German digital privacy laws, in the latest sign of legal scrutiny in a nation where the right to privacy is highly valued.

‘There’s no place to escape from smart glasses. You have to expect at any moment to be filmed and then exposed on the internet’, said HateAid managing director Josephine Ballon.

The organization reported the management of Meta, units of spectacles maker EssilorLuxottica including Ray-Ban, as well as retailers Fielmann, Apollo-Optik, Mister Spex and MediaMarkt to the Frankfurt-based digital crime prosecution unit ZIT.”

The complaint is based on Germany’s federal digital data protection law, which prohibits the sale of communication devices designed to film people without them noticing.

Politico reported:

“Privacy concerns over the device have snowballed in recent months amid reports of people being filmed without their consent, or recording intimate footage without knowing it could be reviewed by Meta contractors.

The non-profit HateAid is arguing that the sale of Meta smart glasses in Germany is a criminal offense because the devices allow wearers to covertly film other people.

[…] HateAid said that smart glasses should only be sold if they are clearly identifiable, and that there should be limits on recording in certain spaces as there is for dashcams or bodycams.”

Essilor shares fell sharply today.
