Corrupt Democrat Rep. Caught Taking Bribes
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 8/9/2025 7:42:30 PM
In 2013, U.S. Representative Henry Cuellar and his wife took a seemingly routine trip to Turkey and Azerbaijan, funded by an obscure Houston-based nonprofit. What followed, federal prosecutors now allege, was a years-long scheme involving foreign influence, money laundering, and one of the most serious indictments ever brought against a sitting member of Congress. According to a federal indictment unsealed last week, Cuellar and his wife accepted nearly $600,000 in bribes from two foreign entities: Azerbaijan’s state-owned oil company, SOCAR, and Mexico’s Banco Azteca. Prosecutors allege that Cuellar, a Democrat from Laredo, Texas,

When I showed up for Army Basic Training at Ft Dix, New Jersey, on a spring morning in the early '80s, I had a couple of advantages over a lot of the other recruits, and I knew it.

Then I encountered Army drill sergeants, and a tactic that we later learned was called the "shark attack."

Democrats and the mainstream media are constantly on the lookout for examples of alleged ICE overreach involving someone who supposedly was wrongly detained and/or deported, or someone whom they can otherwise try to sympathetically portray, even if they are an illegal immigrant whom DHS has the authority to deport.
They’ve claimed, for instance, that young children who were U.S. citizens were deported out of the country, (Snip) The latest ICE detainee we're supposed to believe was a victim of ICE overreach concerns an Alabama woman, 24-year-old Giovanna Hernandez, who was picked up after allegedly driving erratically on a highway.

A New Jersey woman, who was given only months to live after receiving a fatal brain cancer diagnosis, experienced a miracle when she was offered the chance to try a new cell therapy.
Two years later, 65-year-old Pamela Goldberger is alive, healthy, and thriving after making the decision, following surgery, to take part in a clinical trial using dendritic cell therapy, Fox News reported.
In 2023, Goldberger was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a cancer that has a survival rate of 14 to 16 months, even with surgery. (Snip) After the MRI showed she had brain cancer, she was admitted to the hospital and scheduled for surgery,

Antisemitism has to be one of humanity's oldest and most irrational hatreds, but that doesn't mean it doesn't keep popping up. The latest example comes to us from Brooklyn, from a former organizer for Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) who, we should note, had nothing to do with the event. The former organizer, one Iman Abdul, took to her X account to call for an attack on a public high school attended by Jewish students.
A Brooklyn woman who worked as a youth organizer for “Squad” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was arrested Friday on charges she urged her 25,000 social media followers to “attack” a public high school because Jewish students attend it.

The rioter who threw cinderblocks at and injured Border Patrol agents during an ICE raid in June in Paramount, California, has been indicted by a federal grand jury.
Jacob Daniel Terrazas was charged with one count of assault on a federal employee by using a deadly and dangerous weapon resulting in bodily injury. If convicted, he would face a statutory maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison.
"We will not stand by while our brave federal agents and officers get hurt,” Acting United States Attorney Bill Essayli said. “If you injure an official enforcing immigration law, you may serve 20 years in a federal prison cell.
The Experts Bet Against Trump and Lost

For years, the self-anointed experts in economics have been catastrophically, almost comically wrong about Donald Trump’s tariff strategy. They were wrong during his first term, and he is proving them wrong again in his second.
They didn’t just miss the mark; they weren’t even aiming at the right target. Now, with new data and landmark trade agreements in hand, the world has every reason to demand accountability from the academic class that branded Trump’s trade policies as reckless economic self-sabotage.
Remember the parade of Nobel laureates and Ivy League economists lining up to denounce Trump’s tariffs as a singular threat to American prosperity?
The Democrat Party is in political free fall. Their approval ratings are sinking, their coalition is cracking, and the message they once rode to power no longer works. A recent Wall Street Journal poll found 63% of Americans now view the party unfavorably — the worst numbers the poll has recorded in three decades.
This wasn’t sudden. Democrats saw their decline coming — and instead of changing course, they rigged the system to survive it.
After the 2020 census, Democrat-run states didn’t redraw their maps — they obliterated them. Republican districts were axed. Competitive seats were split. What replaced them were Democrat fortresses,
Everyone, relax. It’s just another out-of-touch northeastern liberal making a fool of herself. Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey decided to weigh in on the crazy theater produced by Texas Democrats, who fled to Illinois to deny the state legislature a quorum. The special session is trying to push through a new congressional map that Democrats think is unfair because it gives the GOP five new seats. These new districts are majority Hispanic, another sign of how Democrats have bottomed out with voters.
Healey is threatening to redraw her state’s congressional maps, following Texas’ overhaul, but it’s a funny statement because her state has no Republican district.
President Trump is putting America first again. This time, he’s going after the rigged system that counts illegal aliens in the U.S. Census, skewing congressional representation and rewarding sanctuary states with more power. On Thursday, Trump announced he’s directing the Department of Commerce to conduct a new, corrected census — one that actually counts American citizens and excludes those here illegally.
“I have instructed our Department of Commerce to immediately begin work on a new and highly accurate CENSUS based on modern day facts and figures and, importantly, using the results and information gained from the Presidential Election of 2024,” Trump announced in a post on Truth Social.
An Arizona state senator bragged about putting ICE agents in danger and brazenly defied the Trump administration.
Arizona Sen. Analise Ortiz (D-24) is now facing an ethics complaint after Libs of TikTok shared the state senator’s post alerting people to the whereabouts of ICE agents. This not only probably violates federal law, but it also puts ICE agents in danger at a time when violent activists are likely to impede or even assault them. Yet Ortiz sneeringly and proudly owned up to her efforts on Bluesky.
Yesterday, Libs of TikTok shared a screenshot from Ortiz‘s Instagram feed showing the politician providing a live update on the whereabouts of ICE agents.

The man who once led the now-discredited “Russiagate” investigation may no longer be mentally competent to testify, according to new reports.
Paul Sperry of RealClearInvestigations reported Tuesday that former Special Counsel Robert Mueller has lived in a memory-care facility “for the past few years.”
Sperry wrote on X, “NEW: House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed Robert Mueller to appear for a Sept. 2 deposition to provide details from an FBI investigation of Jeffrey Epstein from decades ago — even though sources tell me Mueller has been living in a memory-care facility for the past few years.”

territory,>br says Kyiv must be part of any negotiations 26 replies
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy dismissed Saturday the planned summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, warning that any peace deal excluding Kyiv would lead to “dead solutions.”
The Trump-Putin meeting, scheduled for Friday in Alaska, is seen as a potential breakthrough.
Trump had previously agreed to meet with Putin even if the Russian leader would not meet with Zelenskyy, stoking fears Ukraine could be sidelined in efforts to stop the continent’s biggest conflict since World War II.
In a statement posted to Telegram, Zelenskyy said Ukraine’s territorial integrity, enshrined in the constitution, must be non-negotiable and emphasized that lasting peace must include Ukraine’s voice at the table.

Three people were injured when a 17-year-old gunman opened fire in a crowded Times Square early Saturday morning.
The violent gunfire erupted during a dispute between two people near the intersection of 44th Street and 7th Avenue at around 1:20 a.m., the NYPD told The Post.
An 18-year-old female and two men, 19 and 65, were injured in the shooting.
The female was grazed in the neck, while the two men suffered gunshot wounds to the legs.
All three victims were transported to Bellevue Hospital and are listed in stable condition, police said [snip}
The teen was not identified because of his age and charges had not been filed.

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is once again rejecting any consideration for President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss terms for a ceasefire without his involvement. [Snip] Zelenskyy reacted, carrying the message from the global intelligence community who support the ongoing conflict,... Zelenskyy has banned opposition parties in Ukraine, taken control of media, targeted religious groups who he claims are subversive to his interests and cancelled elections in order to remain in power. Now Zelenskyy hides behind the claim of a constitution his regime modified in order to ensure he alone controls the pathways to peace.
The Week In Pictures: Green D*ldo Edition
18 replies
Some important things happened this week. President Trump brought peace to a continent or two. The long-simmering Russia Collusion Hoax unraveled further. Controversy erupted over the Democrats’ disgraceful history of gerrymandering. Israel announced its intention to complete the pacification of Gaza. The Trump administration revoked the ridiculous CO2 endangerment finding. And more.
But the nation’s meme-creators mostly focused their attention elsewhere. President Trump took a walk on a sloped roof. South Park viciously parodied Trump, JD Vance and Kristi Noem. The now indisputably-Republican Sydney Sweeney remained a popular meme subject. And, above all, persons mostly unknown debuted a new sports tradition: throwing green d*ldos on to the court at WNBA games.
The cost for Texas Democrats abandoning their seats just went up exponentially. State House Speaker Dustin Burrows has ordered that all direct deposits be stopped for any member absent for the express purpose of denying a quorum. That stops the money flow to those who fled to Illinois and other blue states to prevent the Republican super majority from redistricting the state. As RedState reported, this battle has been ongoing since early August. Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) called for a special session to add up to five GOP-leaning seats to the congressional map, a move to combat gerrymandering in left-wing states

for Malibu real estate charred by January’s wildfires 12 replies
In the charred aftermath of Malibu’s January wildfires, one buyer has been moving in silence. While much of La Costa Beach remains a barren stretch of sand, a foreign investor has quietly acquired nine oceanfront lots — spending more than $65 million to secure some of the most coveted parcels along the Pacific Coast Highway, according to Realtor.com. Working through luxury agents Weston Littlefield and Alex Howe of the Weston James Group, the buyer is targeting properties with at least 40 feet of frontage, betting that once the coastline is rebuilt, demand from wealthy buyers will return in force.
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has appointed a special prosecutor to investigate alleged mortgage fraud by Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and New York Attorney General Letitia James, several outlets reported Friday.
According to the New York Post, Bondi has tapped former acting U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C. Ed Martin to spearhead “the prosecution of James and Schiff for potential mortgage fraud, bank fraud and wire fraud, which carry jail terms of up to 30 years.” (sonp)Martin told the outlet. “For months DOJ and the FBI have been working on these two cases, it is my job to stick the landing.”
Irony is a term whose meaning is elusive and which escapes precise definition. A lot of people think they know what it means when they actually don’t. About the best that can be said is that irony is the quality of a situation in which not only are prospects ruined and even reversed, but done so resoundingly – irony not only wrecks your plans, but does so while turning you into an object lesson.
Irony occurs when the postman rings twice for the drifter Frank Chambers, who is arrested, tried, and executed not for the murder he unquestionably committed, but for the accidental death over which he had no responsibility.
"You don’t need a group that wraps itself in verses while stabbing your future.” What a line that truly defines the nature of what the Muslim Brotherhood is all about. This eloquent spokesman does not defend the norms of many Islamic countries. He is proud to say that the UAE is the exception to the rule, the country with a bright present and future due to their rejection of the Muslim Brotherhood But it is more than just the UAE (or Bahrain). There are many millions of people in the Middle East who are not interested in a radical Islamic lifestyle. They are not necessarily very Western either.
