• Squadster Ilhan Omar prevails in primary election: Yesterday, the people of Minneapolis reelected a Jew-hating Democrat congresswoman who pledged her allegiance to Somalia, and who married her own brother in order to skirt U.S. immigration laws, and whose campaign paid $2.8 million to a firm co-owned by her husband. Omar won handily, defeating challenger Don Samuels. As CBS News reports, “For the second time in two years, Omar faced a challenge from Samuels, a former Minneapolis City Council member. Omar narrowly beat Samuels in 2022 with a slim margin of roughly 2,500 votes. However, this time the results were not nearly as close. With more than 99% of precincts reporting, Ilhan was leading Samuels by a margin of 56% to 42%.” On the “bright” side, Omar will continue to be a blight on the Democrat Party — a reminder to the rest of the nation that elections do have consequences.

• UAW submits complaint against Trump and Musk: Following Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s conversation on X on Monday, the United Auto Workers filed an official complaint with the National Labor Relations Board, an agency that itself was recently deemed unconstitutional by a federal judge in Texas, claiming that Trump attempted to “intimidate and threaten workers.” How exactly did Trump supposedly intimidate and threaten workers? The UAW points to a portion of the conversation in which Trump praises how Musk handled a bunch of workers who went on strike by firing them. They were discussing a hypothetical situation, not a policy. Big Labor has a long history of engaging in threats and intimidation against those very workers it claims to be looking out for if they dare to cross the picket line. Furthermore, the UAW has endorsed Kamala Harris, underscoring the fact that this complaint is purely politically motivated.

• Pelosi is unhinged: In a recent interview with reporters touting her new book, The Art of Power, former Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi reportedly pounded the table nine times, insisting, “My goal in life was that [Donald Trump] would never set foot in the White House again.” She also gave advice on dealing with Republicans, saying, “Treat everyone as a friend, but know who your friends are.” She then added, “Some of them — I just say, ‘We’re out to get you. You’re dead.’” She later said she had no room for friendship with younger Republican lawmakers who like Trump, relaying that several from New York had invited her to attend events celebrating their shared Italian heritage. Her response was, “When you’re not there, maybe I’ll come. I do not like you. I’m out to get you. I’m out to get you. Your defeat is my goal.” With leadership like this, is it any wonder Democrats have become the party of divisiveness, hatred, and intolerance?

• CA sheriff excoriates deceptive open-borders Harris: Kamala Harris has been running a deceptive campaign in a myriad of different ways. One of her team’s deceptive moves was to run an ad that falsely paints Harris as being tough on crime and the border. In the ad, Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux appears in the background. However, the southern California sheriff has taken umbrage with Harris using his image and released the following statement: “The Sheriff wants to make it abundantly clear that his image is being used without his permission, and he does NOT endorse Harris for President or any other political office.” Boudreaux further notes, “The truth is, Harris never cared about the cartels and did nothing to stop people from illegally crossing the border." When she visited, the sheriff observed, "We were in the green room. She never came in and said hello to any of us. She walked up front, gave her presser, literally walked out, never said hi to any of us. I’m disgusted because, you know, she didn’t shake hands. She didn’t say hello. And she’s taken credit for all this work that the locals did. [The ad is] all smoke and mirrors.” That encapsulates Kamala Harris’s political accomplishments.

• Biden-Harris program allows 90% of illegals to stay in the U.S.: It’s perhaps a sign of the times that we shrug our shoulders at the thought of tens of thousands of illegals who were scheduled for deportation being allowed to remain in the U.S., but here we are. As The Washington Free Beacon reports, “More than 22,000 of the 24,000 migrants placed in the Family Expedited Removal Program were allowed to stay in the United States, with only around 2,600 deported so far and thousands more having fled the program, according to a New York Post report on Tuesday. Border Patrol agents have apprehended over 842,000 migrants at the southern border since the Biden-Harris administration introduced the program in May 2023.” Said Tennessee Republican Congressman Mark Green: “Such a dismal rate of removals makes clear that President Biden, ‘border czar’ Kamala Harris, and now-impeached DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas are committed to ignoring U.S. immigration law, while attempting to hide that fact from the American people.”

Leftmedia

• CNN is the most trusted name in disinformation: Is it too much to ask that our news services don’t lie? Apparently not. Or at least not for CNN, whose longtime anchor Dana Bash was caught lying on Tuesday about remarks made between Donald Trump and Elon Musk during a Monday night interview on X. As The Daily Wire reports, “Bash played a deceptively edited clip from the X Space interview where Trump and Musk discussed some of the risks involved with nuclear energy, particularly if people are able to move back to areas where nuclear power-plants have had accidents.” At issue is an exchange in which Musk said, “Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed, but now they’re full cities again,” to which Trump replied, “Right. Right. Right. That’s great.” To which Musk then said, “So, it’s not as scary as people think basically.” That transcription, though, was a “blatant distortion of what Musk and Trump were discussing,” which was the safety of nuclear power and the nuclear energy industry, despite the scaremongering about nuclear accidents at Chernobyl and the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan. In short, it’s classic CNN.

• Facebook throttles the “Reagan” movie: In a Pravda-like effort to control the flow of information, Facebook is doing its best to prevent folks from learning about our nation’s foremost Cold Warrior and commie fighter, Ronald Reagan. Actor Dennis Quaid, who stars in the movie on The Gipper, which will hit theaters later this month, says Facebook has been “throttling” their efforts to promote the film via advertising. As The Daily Wire reports: “In a letter sent to Newsweek, Quaid said, ‘Facebook is once again censoring the free flow of ideas, deciding what’s best for us to see and hear; only this time it’s throttling advertising and promotion for my movie about Ronald Reagan.’ Like the old Soviet Union — are we turning into a country of tech oligarchs who control the platform of groupthink to silence the individual or ‘other’ groups?” Facebook’s censors allowed the movie’s digital marketing team to advertise the movie, but they didn’t allow the Reagan team to pay extra to have the ad “boosted” to better placement, saying that it “mentions politicians or is about sensitive issues that could influence public opinion, how people vote and may impact the outcome of an election or pending legislation.” This from the same people who censored the New York Post’s bombshell story about Hunter Biden’s laptop in the weeks just prior to the 2020 presidential election.

• Abortion ballot measures: At least seven states — Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, and South Carolina — will have abortion measures on the ballot this November. Two of them, Missouri and Arizona, had abortion ballot measures certified this week. In Missouri, voters will be presented with a state constitutional amendment that would enshrine abortion as a constitutional right. The measure would permit abortion up until the point of a preborn baby’s viability, or roughly 24 weeks. If passed, this would put Missouri on par with radical California. Voters in Arizona are facing a similar state constitutional amendment. That amendment would prevent punishing anyone who helps a woman get an abortion. Should these measures pass, the number of murdered preborn children will increase as Planned Parenthood et al. expand the abortion mill industry. Democrats are hoping that having abortion on the ballot will help turn out the vote in their favor.
