Democrat Congresswoman: Trump Asking Lawmakers
to Stand for Americans over Illegals Was ‘Racist’ replies
to Stand for Americans over Illegals Was ‘Racist’ replies
Rep. Janelle Bynum (D-OR) says President Donald Trump’s asking lawmakers to stand for American citizens over illegal aliens was “thinly veiled racist language.”
During Trump’s first State of the Union (SOTU) address of his second term, he asked members of Congress to “stand up if you agree with this statement: The first duty of American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.”
In response, all Republicans present stood for the statement, while no Democrats present stood up. Footage of Democrats has quickly gone viral as nearly all did not clap for the statement either.
The Secret Service has removed a gun from the home of a Michigan man who said he wanted to “shoot” President Trump.
On Tuesday night, during a Warren City Council meeting, retired professor Wesley Arnold stated, “I ordered a high-powered ATL 36X arriving shortly, which I hope to actually use to shoot the president of the United States. I’m not kidding.”
He added, “This is a very high, powerful item. It’s great for a headshot at a distance. I didn’t want it to be delivered by drone because I wouldn’t want something like that to be in the wrong hands.”
The Democrats showed their true colors at Tuesday evening’s State of the Union when they failed the president’s test of allegiance to this country.
They are so devoted to illegal migration that they walked straight into his trap. President Trump asked every lawmaker in the chamber to stand if they believe their primary duty is to protect American citizens rather than illegal migrants.
That should have be a no-brainer.
It is the essence of putting America first.
But the Democrats refused to stand.
President Trump named Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern (CPC)” in October 2025 because of the persecution of Christians, which is rampant in the West African country, and the regularly occurring extremist violence.
He tasked Reps. Riley M. Moore (WV-02) and Tom Cole (OK-04) with the job of detailing what exactly is going on over there and what we can do to stop it. On Monday, the congressmen handed in their homework: (X) In a statement posted on Riley’s website, he said that countless hours of work had gone into preparing the report:

how Biden regime got illegals on commercial flights… replies
Every now and then, some dirt surfaces that make everyday Americans stop and ask a very simple question: who on earth thought this was a good idea? That is exactly where we are now. But this “dirt” actually surfaced a year ago, and many people missed it. And we also know who thought this disaster we’re about to tell you about was a “good idea.” It is the Biden regime.
You’re going to want to sit down for this doozy.
Thanks to a lawsuit against TSA, disturbing new details are emerging about how illegals without traditional ID were allowed to board commercial flights during the Biden era. And buried inside the
Gov. Tim Walz denounced the Trump administration’s latest threat to withhold federal funds from Minnesota as another step in a “retribution” campaign as he unveiled a package of legislation Thursday intended to fight fraud in public programs, a persistent problem that provided an impetus for the federal government’s immigration crackdown in Minnesota.
The Democratic governor made the announcement a day after Vice President JD Vance said the administration would “temporarily halt” some Medicaid funding to Minnesota over fraud concerns, as part of what he described as an aggressive drive against the misuse of public funds.
Walz’s proposals were in the works well before Vance’s announcement.
A former U.S. Air Force officer and fighter pilot was arrested Wednesday, according to a Department of Justice press release issued February 25.
Gerald Eddie Brown Jr., 65, a retired Air Force major known by the call sign “Runner,” was arrested in Jeffersonville, Indiana. Brown faces charges under the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) for allegedly conspiring to provide defense services to pilots in China’s People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF).
Brown is scheduled to appear before a U.S. Magistrate Judge in the Southern District of Indiana on February 26.
“The United States Air Force trained Major Brown to be an elite fighter pilot and entrusted him with the defense of our
The ballroom dancing won’t commence just yet at the White House, but President Trump is celebrating a decision by U.S. District Judge Richard Leon that denied an attempt by the National Trust for Historic Preservation to stop construction of the president's $400 million proposed addition.
Leon did write, however, that the matter could very well be revisited:
U.S. District Judge Richard Leon ruled that the National Trust for Historic Preservation is unlikely to prevail on its request for a temporary halt to President Donald Trump’s construction plan. He said the group may have a stronger case if it amends its lawsuit.
It's an issue that seems to have no end. Illegal immigrants driving 80,000-pound, fully loaded 18-wheelers across the nation, who barely speak English and cannot read road signs. Dozens of Americans have been injured or killed on America's highways because of these illegal immigrants who entered the country because of Joe Biden's open border. It's one thing to read about these tragedies that never should have taken place. It is quite another when you see it happening. In this case, it is nothing short of a miracle that there was not another fatality.
It truly is something to behold, the way President Donald Trump plays these Democrats like a cat swats around a mouse. The only difference in that dynamic is that the mouse can’t help itself; it doesn’t know it’s being played. Democrats…well, maybe they are only as smart as a mouse. It’s tough to know. The only things that can be known are just how pathetic Democrats are, and Donald Trump lives rent-free in their head, their dreams and in every breath they take.
I expect pathetic Democrat activists to be able to control themselves about as well as a starved Pavlovian dog in a bell factory;
Another day, another shooting incident involving a transgender individual. This time in New Hampshire.
From a Tuesday DOJ press release:
A Manchester resident has been charged in connection with a shooting that occurred over the weekend in Pittsburg, New Hampshire, U.S. Attorney Erin Creegan announces.
Blu Zeke Daly, a/k/a Cullan Zeke Daly, 26, was charged by complaint with one count of attempted murder of a federal officer and one count of assaulting a federal officer with a deadly weapon. Daly is currently obtaining medical treatment at a New Hampshire hospital and is under guard.
The arrest of Daly was covered by local news station WMUR. According to the report,
The biggest rock star in America today is Donald Trump, especially after his epic greatest hits set at the State of the Union; the only thing missing was the GOP singing along to his version of “Freebird” and holding up lighters. But there are some rockers trying to make a comeback as they tour the county fair circuit while opening for the political equivalent of a puppet show. Your dad is going to be excited to hear that U2 and Bruce Springsteen have returned with brand-new songs about… wait for it… what was happening in Minneapolis. Sounds promising!
Democrats are scrambling to do damage control after refusing to stand when President Trump asked lawmakers to affirm that their duty is to the American people over illegal immigrants. As many people are already criticizing the party for walking into what many viewed as a carefully laid political trap. With attack ads all but certain to follow, Democrats are now working to reframe the moment and blunt its impact on the 2026 midterm elections. [Tweet, video]
"The president was setting up Democrats in a really simple and easy way," Jason Rantz, a conservative radio host, said. "They shouldn't have fallen for it.
Surveillance video captured the dramatic moment a sinkhole opened up on a busy intersection in south-central Omaha, Nebraska, swallowing up two vehicles.
The incident happened Tuesday afternoon in a trendy section of the Midwest city, when a sport utility vehicle and a pickup truck waiting at a traffic light dropped into a hole several feet deep when the pavement under them suddenly gave way. Neither driver was injured, police said.
The driver of the truck was able to get out of the sinkhole on his own, then joined other bystanders who helped the SUV driver out of the hole, police said.
A federal judge on Wednesday struck down the Trump administration for deporting illegal immigrants to countries other than their own.
The ruling came as the result of a class-action lawsuit brought by noncitizens challenging deportations to “third countries” without notice or a chance to challenge the proceedings.
U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy in Boston ruled against the policy, arguing that the government does not have the authority to send illegal immigrants to unfamiliar nations and must follow established federal law. The judge paused his ruling for 15 days to give the White House a chance to appeal.
A conservative group, American Sovereignty, is launching a nationwide, seven-figure ad campaign designed to capitalize on the State of the Union moment by attacking Democrats over immigration policy. The 30-second spot highlights Democrats’ refusal to stand during president Trump’s address and ties it to his call that the government’s first duty is to protect american citizens, not illegal aliens. The campaign aims to run throughout 2026, with emphasis on battleground states Michigan, North Carolina, and Georgia to defend vulnerable GOP incumbents and pursue potential pickups in both the house and Senate. The ad’s messaging—“Democrats are for illegal immigrant criminals. Republicans are for you”—is supported by a video of Trump’s remarks.
Rapper Cardi B, who previously said she was “starting not to like America,” called the United States “ghetto” and “dusty,” and declared “this is why some of y’all states be getting hurricanes” after Donald Trump’s 2024 election victory, is now urging voters in Texas — a Gulf Coast state that has been struck by major hurricanes — to back Rep. Jasmine Crockett in the Democrat U.S. Senate primary as early voting enters its final days.
On Wednesday, Cardi B posted a video to her Instagram Story saying: “Listen up y’all. Early primary voting is happening right now in Texas, and we need Jasmine Crockett to win.
LOWER MANHATTAN, New York -- Several ceremonies were held in Lower Manhattan on Thursday to mark 33 years since the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Officials with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey held a memorial mass at St. Peter's Church at 10:30 a.m. Then at noon, 9/11 Memorial and Museum held its annual ceremony on the National September 11 Memorial Plaza, with a moment of silence at 12:18 p.m. The attack took place on Feb. 26, 1993, when a bomb built by Islamic extremists exploded in the parking garage of the North Tower of

Another Joe Biden FBI Scandal
replies
The extent to which the Department of Justice under Merrick Garland was weaponized to serve the Democratic Party is a scandal that is still unraveling. The FBI was particularly turned to partisan ends, a scandal for which there has yet been no accounting.
It has most recently come to light that in 2023, the FBI tapped the phones secretly subpoenaed phone records of both Kash Patel–now, ironically, the Director of the FBI–and Susie Wiles, now the President’s Chief of Staff. This was all, I take it, part of the Democratic Party’s well-organized effort to prevent Donald Trump from being re-elected President in 2024.
That the FBI wiretapped Patel and Wiles is disgraceful,
One of President Trump's key priorities for his second term was rebuilding and re-arming our military, including making sure we have the best, most modern aircraft in the world. That may well be happening now, and in record time. The United States Air Force's first 6th-generation fighter, the F-47, is reportedly on track for a 2028 test flight. That's remarkably fast for a concept-to-cockpit development these days.
The advanced F-47 sixth-generation fighter remains on track to fly in the next two years, the senior Air Force acquisition officer overseeing the program said Feb. 25, as the service continues on its ambitious schedule to debut the air superiority-focused fighter by 2028
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is accusing the GOP-led House Oversight Committee of using her to "distract" from President Donald Trump during her high-stakes testimony in Congress' Jeffrey Epstein probe.
Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-5) is demanding a full investigation after Capitol Police arrested her guest during President Trump’s State of the Union address Tuesday night — and the woman they hauled out might look awfully familiar to RedState readers.
The congresswoman invited 43-year-old Minneapolis activist Aliya Rahman — the same far-left agitator who went viral in January when ICE agents dragged her from her car during immigration enforcement operations in her home state — to sit in the gallery as her personal guest. Wouldn't you know it, somebody as attention-seeking and willing to intentionally get arrested to interfere in law enforcement actions as Rahman, seated next to a lawmaker

Terror War Against U.S. In Middle East
And Here At Home replies
The revolutionary Iranian regime -- which may possibly find itself in a war with the United States in coming days -- has positioned itself as an adversary of the United States since it came into power decades ago in 1979. Much of the discussion (snip) has focused on the Iranian regime's nuclear program (snip) but not as much attention has been placed on a host of Iranian-directed terrorist attacks against U.S. troops, diplomats, and citizens which have killed hundreds of Americans. Iran has also sought to carry out a number of attempted plots on U.S. soil (snip)
