Remember Todd Stewart

The 68-year-old is the latest American victim to be sacrificed by the Left on the altar of open borders.

We just got one more example of how dangerous and deadly globalist, left-wing policies are. Yet another American citizen has been sacrificed on the altar of the Left’s open borders religious dogma.
 
Democrats in Congress want to defund our federal immigration police and debate amnesty bills under the pretense of “comprehensive immigration reform.” But in communities across our country, the bodies of dead Americans are piling up. Dead fathers. Dead mothers. Dead daughters. Raped children.
 
Mass migration overruns schools. It overwhelms hospitals. It allows violent gangs to control city streets. It results in whole neighborhoods where English is not spoken. It leads to people having children who grow up hating America and voting for Islamists and Marxists like Zohran Mamdani and Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed.
 
And that’s the Left’s real goal—sacrificing American citizens to achieve the “fundamental transformation of America.”
 
The latest American victim to be sacrificed by the Left on the altar of open borders is 68-year-old Todd Stewart. God rest his soul. Stewart was stabbed to death on the front lawn of his suburban San Francisco home by Marcos Iriarte-Valdez, an illegal alien from Venezuela. My heart goes out to Stewart’s family.
 
This Venezuelan thug had been arrested multiple times for burglary. But left-wing judges in the sanctuary state of California kept releasing him. Iriarte-Valdez was arrested again last Tuesday for a parole violation. Yet a left-wing judge released him Wednesday on his own recognizance. Twenty-four hours later, he brutally murdered Todd Stewart.
 
 
 
Democrats Don’t Care About You
 
Stewart’s murder is making headlines today. But the odds are overwhelming that no one, other than his friends and family, will care in 24 hours.
 
Democrats just don’t care at all. Their open borders and sanctuary city policies are the reason Stewart is dead. And their media allies see no benefit for their leftist cause in elevating Stewart’s death as something we should know about and care about.
 
Earlier this year, Renee Good and her lesbian partner dropped their child off at school and then went to confront federal immigration police who were trying to arrest illegal aliens. That confrontation ended tragically with Good losing her life because of her own actions.
 
But within a week, most Americans knew more about Renee Good than they do about American history. They certainly know more about her than they will ever know about poor Todd Stewart, who was murdered in his own neighborhood by an illegal alien who should not have been here.
 
Democrats may not care how many Rachel Morins, Laken Rileys or Todd Stewarts have to be sacrificed for their open border agenda. But thank God President Trump does care and is putting us first by securing our border and removing criminal aliens from our country.
 
 
 
Trump Busts Chinese Marriage Scam
 
Any conservative populist president who represents us and wants to save our country operates under tremendous constraints. We would have lost the country if Hillary Clinton had won in 2016 and made three appointments to the Supreme Court. We went way down the road toward losing it during Biden’s four years, and a brutal battle lies ahead.
 
Polls show that corruption is one of the most important issues to the American people, and rightly so. Virtually every day, this administration is announcing indictments and investigations of widespread corruption across the country. Yet, almost no one in Big Media is reporting on these developments.
 
Now, here are the latest indictments the media wants to ignore.
 
The Trump Justice Department indicted 11 New Yorkers Wednesday for running a massive international marriage fraud scheme. They recruited American citizens to participate in fake marriages in order to obtain visas for Chinese nationals.
 
This was industrial-level corruption—a multimillion-dollar scheme involving more than 1,000 fake marriages over the past decade. They were exploiting our marriage laws to thwart our laws on who we allow in our country. Who knows why or what the Chinese nationals were coming here to do?!
 
Again, Democrats don’t care about any of this. They want to open the borders, defund our immigration police and let everyone and anyone in.
 
If Kamala Harris were president today, I guarantee you wouldn’t be hearing about these indictments because the Harris/Walz Justice Department would be too busy indicting parents who refused to trans their children!
 
 
 
Trump’s Turkey Trick
 
The extraordinary events surrounding President Trump’s return from a recent NATO summit in Turkey are making a lot of news. Israeli intelligence discovered a plot by the Islamofascists of Iran to bring down Trump’s plane with a surface-to-air missile. They briefed U.S. intelligence agencies. The president was told and was urged to take defensive actions.
 
First, they announced that President Trump would be flying back on his previous Boeing Air Force One plane, instead of the new aircraft donated by Qatar that brought Trump to Turkey. The Qatari aircraft is serving as a “bridge” plane due to delays in the production of a new Boeing Air Force One.
 
The president boarded Air Force One, but was then taken out through another door into a catering truck. He then secretly boarded the aircraft that is usually used by the vice president or top cabinet officials. He left Turkey on this plane, along with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and flew to London.
 
Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent followed Trump up the stairs to board Air Force One. Fully aware of the Iranian plot, they remained on the decoy plane while Trump was whisked away.
 
The Democrat and media reaction is puzzling. They are furious that they weren’t briefed about it. When did they expect to be briefed? Before Trump was safely in the air? The secret plans to ensure his protection would have been leaked by indoctrinated Marxists who are embedded throughout the government.
 
The fact that they were leaked at all—even after the president safely returned to the U.S.—is the real scandal. Lt. Col. Robert Patterson, who carried the nuclear “football” for President Bill Clinton, told Fox News:
 
“I hope that they prosecute this to the fullest… There are only a few people who actually know exactly what’s going down, and that’s by design. So, if somebody leaked it, it was somebody involved in the process, and that scares the hell out of me.”
 
Had the president’s plane, God forbid, been shot down, I am certain we would have witnessed a number of stomach-churning responses from the Left. 

  • The usual “sickos” would rush to social media to celebrate his death and the end of the “Trump dictatorship.” 
  • The El-Sayeds, Mamdanis, Omars and Tlaibs of the world would be lecturing us. They would say, “It’s obvious why this happened. Israel did it. Trump was starting to push back against Netanyahu. The same people who were behind the assassination of Charlie Kirk and set up Tyler Robinson as a patsy shot down the president’s plane.” 
  • Then there would be the more “respectable” commentators. With furrowed brows, they would declare, “Well, this is certainly a tragic time. But we have to acknowledge that in some ways, it’s Trump’s fault. If he hadn’t started this war with Iran, he’d still be alive today. It’s just karma.” 

I pray to God that over the next two and a half years we don’t actually find out how accurate my description is if someone somehow did the unthinkable.
