for California House seat
Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 10/18/2025 6:55:14 AM
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will face a primary challenge in 2026 from Scott Wiener, a leather-wearing state lawmaker who is a “drag queen advocate” and has already raised $1 million for his campaign. Wiener, who has represented San Francisco and other parts of the Bay Area in the California Senate since 2016, had previously said he would wait until Pelosi, 85, retired to run for her long-held congressional seat, but multiple outlets reported on Friday that the state lawmaker will announce his candidacy for Congress next week. “Scott Wiener for Congress,” the state senator’s congressional campaign committee, was set up in 2023 and reported over

Former NFL kicker Jay Feely is currently running for Congress in Arizona’s 5th Congressional District, selling himself as the MAGA Republican choice for voters, but many are starting to notice his history of attacking Trump and supporting Democrats like Hillary and Bill Clinton.
Feely is a 14-year NFL veteran who played kicker during a four-year stint with the Arizona Cardinals before ending his career with the Chicago Bears.
Now, he’s setting his sights on Rep. Andy Biggs’ seat amid the lawmaker’s plans to retire and run for Arizona Governor in 2026.
Feely is currently propping himself up on Fox News as the pro-Trump choice.

The New Jersey Republican Party is sounding the alarms over the Democrat-controlled Passaic County Board of Elections’ alleged refusal to allow security cameras to monitor ballot storage areas for this year’s tight gubernatorial election.
Passaic County’s Board of Elections is also accused of refusing to enforce “basic sign-in and sign-out logs” for individuals accessing mail-in ballots, according to the Garden State GOP.
The crucial county — which President Trump won in 2024 in a stunning upset — has a history of alleged election irregularities.
A few short weeks before he left office, staffers for now-former President Joe Biden expanded H-1B visa rules to allow foreign workers to work remotely.
In recent days, a viral social post has noticed that “Hundreds of H1Bs have listed the same residential buildings in Irving, Texas as their address of employment.”
The poster of the data set said that “these scammers are either committing tax fraud by claiming to work in Texas,” or they are “actually working in California or they went back to India and are lying about their work address.”
There’s something quietly revolutionary about paperwork. It rarely makes headlines or history books. But every so often, a bureaucratic act reveals a moral frontier. Because citizenship isn’t just about where you live. It’s about what you’re willing to live for — and what you’re prepared to stand against. That’s what happened last week in Berlin, when the German government revoked the citizenship of a man named Abdallah A., a naturalized Palestinian-German who used his new German identity to glorify Hamas’s October 7 atrocities, the deadliest mass killing of Jews since the Holocaust. His Instagram stories praised the attacks as heroic, sanctified the gunmen as martyrs, and
Zohran Mamdani is the future of the Democratic Party and there is little the Democrat establishment can do to stop it.
Most Americans are undoubtedly tired of hearing about New York and the socialist currently leading the city’s mayoral race, but what happens in the Big Apple may unfortunately affect the whole country. New York held its first debate Thursday night between three leading candidates: Andrew Cuomo, Curtis Sliwa, and Mamdani. You can read my night-of analysis here. But I have one additional takeaway from the debate and race as a whole. The reason Mamdani, who is a state assemblyman and is backed by the Democratic Socialists of America

Fox News broke the story that the FBI is now investigating a hunting stand the U.S. Secret Service discovered with a “direct line of sight” to where the president exits Air Force One in Florida at the Palm Beach International Airport. According to Fox News: “Agents found the stand on Thursday, and the FBI is now leading an investigation into the discovery. FBI Director Kash Patel said the hunting stand has not yet been connected to any individual.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) moved to address anti-Muslim and anti-Arab biases in tandem with activist groups shortly after Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, massacre in Israel ignited a wave of antisemitism, newly released documents show.
The Biden-Harris administration’s top law enforcement engaged with “Muslim, Arab, Sikh, and South Asian communities,” dubbed “MASSA” groups, in the weeks following the Islamic terrorist attack, according to internal communications obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. The DOJ’s Civil Rights Division (CRD) under former Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke consulted MASSA groups to help counter “backlash” against their communities, comparing it to the aftermath of 9/11.

Anti-White Racism “White teachers are

A lawsuit recently filed by the U.S. Department of Justice alleges that the Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) and Providence Public School District (PPSD) violated federal law by establishing a loan forgiveness program that is open to every ethnicity—except whites.
Perhaps the name of the program—“Educators of Color Loan Forgiveness Program”— ought to have been a clue that it was incentivizing illegal discrimination.
“Through PPSD’s ‘Educators of Color Loan Forgiveness Program’ (Program), new teachers can receive student-loan repayments up to $25,000,” describes the lawsuit. “The catch: white teachers are not eligible.” The program was established in 2021, coinciding with the era of peak wokeness
Congressional Republicans appear to have been the victims of an elaborate setup involving American flags covertly altered with hidden swastikas. We learned that what seemed at first like a shocking display in Rep. Dave Taylor’s (R-Ohio) office — a flag visibly bearing the hateful symbol — was part of an elaborate attempt to sabotage Republicans. Flags went out to multiple GOP offices featuring swastikas hidden in the stripes in a way that was essentially invisible to the naked eye but glaringly apparent on camera. This "optical illusion" technique has allowed the flags to fly under the radar until video calls or photographs capture them, prompting an ongoing Capitol Police investigation.
Abigail Spanberger Finds It 'Horrifying'

Abigail Spanberger is running to be the next Governor of Virginia. As such, she will take an oath to uphold the Constitution and duly enacted laws. That means all laws, even the ones she doesn't like. And it's clear Spanberger doesn't like our immigration laws. She sat down for an interview and said it's "horrifying" that President Trump has made illegally crossing our border a "criminal act." We're not sure how to break this news to Spanberger, but it's always been a criminal act to cross our border illegally. That's what "illegal" means. Spanberger's remarks are revealing for a few reasons.

Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli brought his world-renowned voice to the White House on Friday, performing in the Oval Office.
Trump’s special assistant, Margo Martin, shared footage of the extraordinary moment on social media, showing everyone in the Oval Office standing on their feet while the legendary singer belted out his classic hit, “Con Te Partirò / Time to Say Goodbye.” Bocelli delivered his signature grace and power in the historic setting just hours before Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s high-stakes summit with President Donald Trump. Subsequent clips shared by Martin showed the president engaged in conversation with the legendary singer while seated at the Resolute Desk,

There have been countless examples of liberalism being a mental disorder. Here is another one: Two researchers from Western Michigan University have written a paper [snip] The paper argues that intentionally spreading alpha-gal syndrome (AGS), a potentially life-threatening allergy to red meat, could be not only morally defensible, but perhaps even necessary, in order to reduce animal suffering and combat climate change. Here are the authors, Parker Crutchfield and Blake Hereth, in their own words: Because promoting tickborne AGS prevents something bad from happening, doesn’t violate anyone’s rights, and promotes virtuous action or character, it follows that promoting tickborne AGS is strongly pro tanto (‘to that extent’) morally obligatory.

CHICAGO — Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker turned heads this week when his campaign disclosed he won $1.4 million gambling last year. Though the billionaire Democrat doesn’t frequent Las Vegas casinos as much as he once did, the windfall is a reminder of his high-stakes past. Pritzker has been a blackjack player for more than two decades, long before he entered public office. “He’s a whale in Vegas,” said a businessperson who’s known Pritzker for years and was granted anonymity to speak freely. “I was incredibly lucky,” Pritzker told reporters Thursday when asked about the big win. “You have to be
A gang of brazen thieves dropped the priceless Eugénie Crown outside the Louvre in Paris during a jaw-dropping daylight heist of the world's most visited museum.
The group of criminals swiped priceless items, including a necklace and a brooch once belonging to Napoleon Bonaparte and his wife Josephine, in broad daylight, forcing the tourist attraction to shut its doors.
The raid, which took place at around 9.30am on Sunday, saw the thieves brazenly break into the art museum, which is also home to the Mona Lisa, by propping a huge freight elevator up against its walls, according to an investigating source.
The group of several 'highly organised criminals' arrived on scooters, masking their
Senate Democrats on Thursday blocked consideration of a defense appropriations bill that would have funded the Department of War for the remainder of the fiscal year and ensured that U.S. service members continued to receive pay during the ongoing government shutdown.The vote failed 50–44, with only three Democrats—Sens. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, and Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire—joining Republicans in support of the measure. The legislation required 60 votes to advance.
The bill would have guaranteed uninterrupted pay for active-duty military personnel and provided a scheduled pay raise for troops.
A notoriously violent two-block stretch of Brooklyn is fighting crime — by keeping uniformed cops away, The Post has learned. NYPD officials agreed to turn a sliver of Brownsville in the NYPD’s 73rd Precinct into a “police free zone” last week as part of an city-funded experiment called the Brownsville Safety Alliance that initially was only twice a year but now runs four times annually. And it’s an initiative that’s received praise from anti-cop, mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani, an official with the group that runs it told The Post.

Protesting the direction of the country under President Donald Trump, people will gather Saturday in the nation’s capital and communities across the U.S. for “ No Kings ” demonstrations — what the president’s Republican Party is calling “Hate America” rallies.
This is the third mass mobilization since Trump’s return to the White House and it is expected to be the largest. It comes against the backdrop of a government shutdown that not only has closed federal programs and services, but is testing the core balance of power as an aggressive executive confronts Congress and the courts in ways that organizers warn are a slide toward American authoritarianism.

Mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani happily campaigned with a popular Brooklyn Imam long known as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, whose son once ran a terrorist camp for kids. The Democratic nominee appears in a photo posted to X laughing and grinning, standing arm-in-arm with Imam Siraj Wahhaj and City Councilmember Yusef Abdus Salaam at Wahhaj’s Bed-Stuy mosque to celebrate the weekly Muslim prayer. “Today at Masjid At-Taqwa, I had the pleasure of meeting with Imam Siraj Wahhaj, one of the nation’s foremost Muslim leaders and a pillar of the Bed-Stuy community for nearly half a century,” Mamdani wrote Friday on X.
Officials in President Trump’s Justice Department have been scrutinizing crime data in recent months — they’ve found evidence that Democratic politicians have been skewing crime stats for their own benefit ahead of the midterm elections, The Post has learned.
Illinois Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker — a vocal opponent of Trump’s use of federal troops for both immigration enforcement and fighting big-blue-city crime — has lately touted double-digit declines in Chicago crime rates where “shootings and homicides on our highways are down 60, 70, 80% depending on where you look.”
But the number of felonies in Chicago — not to mention New York, Los Angeles and Portland, Ore. —
Following reports of former New York Times editor and the Free Press founder Bari Weiss being appointed editor-in-chief of CBS News, editors on Wikipedia began negatively slanting her page and those of CBS and the Free Press. This includes attempting to label Weiss as right-wing and slanted edits about a CBS settlement with President Donald Trump. Some suggested blacklisting CBS as a source in the future. News about Weiss being appointed to leadership at CBS News first emerged on October 2 with the official announcement on October 6. The newly-merged parent company Paramount Skydance further announced its purchase of her Free Press outlet.
Leftists are so obsessed with the Trump collusion hoax that they are seeing ‘connections’ in the most ridiculous of places, including the choice of tie that War Secretary Pete Hegseth wore yesterday. Not surprisingly, the latest conspiracy theory regarding Trump-Russia backfired.
As The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson reported, a high-stakes meeting Friday involving President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy took place in the Cabinet Room of the White House, a departure from the typical Oval Office meetings that the President holds with foreign leaders.
