U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche issued a formal letter to top California officials Thursday, warning them against any attempts to arrest or impede federal law enforcement officers enforcing immigration laws. The letter, addressed to Gov. Gavin Newsom; state Attorney General Rob Bonta; Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.; and San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins, stressed that federal agents and officers are carrying out lawful duties, and any interference by state or local officials is both "illegal and futile." The letter was sent after Pelosi, the former House Speaker, and Rep. Kevin Mullin, D-Calif., issued a statement Wednesday threatening to arrest...

Arizona's Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes and Arizona Democratic Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva sued the House of Representatives on Tuesday over its failure to seat the recently elected lawmaker. The lawsuit fulfills a threat Mayes made to House Speaker Mike Johnson last week over the delay. Grijalva won a special election last month. [link to lawsuit] "This case is about whether someone duly elected to the House – who indisputably meets the constitutional qualifications of the office – may be denied her rightful office simply because the Speaker has decided to keep the House out of “regular session," Mayes argued in...

Nancy Pelosi prowls the political stage like a specter, her influence a dark cloud over America’s future.No longer Speaker, she still clings to power, pulling strings from the shadows with a smirk that masks her contempt for the heartland.To Americans, she’s the embodiment of elitist decay -- a figure whose every maneuver drips with arrogance and betrayal.Her legacy is a battlefield strewn with the wreckage of American values, and her recent moves prove she’s still a threat to the nation’s soul.Pelosi’s grip, though loosened, remains a chokehold on progress. She’s not just a relic; she’s a schemer, orchestrating chaos from...

This week, former Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) told LindellTV reporter Alison Steinberg to "shut up." The incident occurred as she was being assisted in her efforts to navigate the stairs to the Capitol building in DC. "I could've been seriously injured or killed!" Pelosi contended. "I have a right to walk without being accosted by unwanted questions." "I was only trying to get Speaker Pelosi's response to Republican assertions that she was at least partially to blame for the disorder at the Capitol on January 6, 2021," Steinberg said. "Former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund...

It seems like former Speaker of the House, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), is very sensitive when it comes to people questioning her about what happened at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021. Pelosi proved that in spades when a reporter for LindellTV, Alison Steinberg, asked her if she was concerned that the new January 6th committee would "find her liable for that day." "Why did you refuse the National Guard on Jan. 6?" Steinberg asked. That's when Pelosi went berserk. Pelosi snapped at Steinberg, stabbing her finger at her and ranting, "Shut up! I did NOT refuse the National...

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) lost it yesterday. Leaving the Capitol, Alison Steinberg of Lindell TV asked the California liberal why she didn’t deploy the National Guard on January 6. It comes as the House is re-investigating that riot. Steinberg wondered whether Pelosi feared she’d be found liable for that day. It struck a nerve because Pelosi totally melted down. “Shut up! I did not refuse the National Guard. The president [Trump] didn’t send it. Why are you coming here with Republican talking points, as if you're a serious journalist?” snapped her imperial majesty.

WOAH — Nancy Pelosi tells reporter to 'SHUT UP' when asked why she refused National Guard support on January 6th. The democratic party is fracturing.

Bluesky Libs @BlueskyLibs Commentary account Nancy Pelosi’s former top staffer, Ashley Etienne, claims Pelosi prepared for January 6th two years in advance.

A federal district judge sentenced former state Sen. Leland Yee, a San Francisco Democrat, to five years in prison Wednesday for trading political favors for campaign contributions. He was also fined $20,000. Yee admitted in a plea deal that he was part of a racketeering conspiracy that involved exchanging official acts for money, conspiring to traffic in weapons and money laundering. Specifically, Lee promised an undercover FBI agent favors in return for campaign contributions. During the hourlong proceedings, Yee asked the court for leniency in light of his public humiliation, his wife's severe illness, his admissions of wrongdoing and his...

RUSH: Let’s reiterate here. You know, try to make the complex understandable. Trump is being impeached for what? It isn’t about the Ukraine phone call. It’s not about interfering in the election in 2020 and all of that. They can’t let go of what they thought 2016 was gonna produce. They are still locked in on that. They’re still focusing on it, still hoping that the allegation that Trump’s 2016 election was illegitimate. And what has Trump done? All Trump has done is ask questions. One of the questions was of the president of Ukraine. Trump is asking questions. He’s...

The Left is falling quiet this morning. A few places are still trying to reframe themselves as the higher ground, but it’s shaking. Their messaging, once deafening, now feels muted, brittle, defensive. Meanwhile, there is a righteous rage building — a rage that even the attempted Butler event failed to ignite. But now, it is here. The Right is rejecting the lone wolf paradigm, naming this what it is: a network, not an accident.Last night, Greg Gutfeld snapped. The man who usually laughs his way through chaos lost his composure on live TV. “We don’t care about your both sides...

Following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, "Bluesky," the progressive alternative to Elon Musk's "X," warned its users "glorifying violence or harm violates Bluesky's Community Guidelines. We review reports and take action on content that celebrates harm against anyone. Violence has no place in healthy public discourse, and we're committed to fostering healthy, open conversations." This warning was followed by numerous posts praising the assassination and suggesting future targets that included Musk, podcasters Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh and Michael Knowles, "Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling, and, of course, President Trump. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) denied that characterizing Trump and...

In a tit-for-tat response to the New York Post’s explosive report alleging Hunter Biden introduced a top executive at a Ukrainian energy firm he was working for to his vice president dad, the Daily Beast has come up with a scoop [1] that the hard disks in which Hunter’s emails were found were provided to Rudy Giuliani by a Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui on behalf of dissident members of Chinese Communist Party. According to the report, “Weeks before the New York Post began publishing what it claimed were the contents of Hunter Biden’s hard drive, a Sept. 25 segment on...

A friend of mine sent me an email this morning asking why President Trump didn't simply "override" Speaker Pelosi and send in the National Guard on January 6, 2021....

Some people wonder why Trump doesn’t just arrest all the coup plotters (starting at the top) and frog march them on TV for all the world to see. Well, there’s a logical reason for what he’s doing and the way he’s doing it....

Using powers authorized by the Home Rule Act, President Trump ordered the deployment of National Guard troops, FBI agents, and other federal law-enforcement officers to patrol the streets of Washington DC. This move has been met with mixed reactions. Citing a similar protest where Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich) called attention to Israeli atrocities against Hamas by banging a pot, Free DC Project Campaign Director Alex Dodds urged supporters to "bang pots and pans every night until this occupation by an invading army is ended. We will multiply Rep. Tlaib's effort by a thousand fold. Everyone in the city will hear...

Nancy Pelosi is probably kicking herself over her most recent X post, because it opened a can of worms she never wanted spilled. But TDS got in the way, and she couldn’t help herself. In a desperate effort to smear President Trump’s plan to clean up DC’s deadly streets, Pelosi took to X and claimed that Trump “delayed” deploying the National Guard on January 6… a claim that instantly blew back on her, in a big way, dredging up an old debate about her role that day. ... But even worse for Pelosi was the blistering response from former Capitol...

In Texas, the Republican majority in the legislature wants to redraw the boundaries of several congressional districts. Democrats are boycotting the legislature in an attempt to prevent this outcome. The Republican majority has issued arrest warrants, but the boycotters have taken refuge outside the jurisdiction of the warrants. Some fled to Massachusetts and others to Illinois. The current number of Texas' congressional seats held by each Party are 25 for Republicans to 12 for Democrats (a 68% to 32% edge for Republicans over Democrats). If the Republican redistricting plan goes through it is projected to change the ratio to 30...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appeared shoulder-to-shoulder Friday with Texas Democratic lawmakers in a show of support for their nearly weeklong walkout, which has blocked a vote on congressional redistricting maps sought by President Donald Trump in a widening national battle over U.S. House control. Texas has been the epicenter of Trump’s push to gerrymander congressional maps to shore up Republicans’ narrow House majority before next year. But the standoff is threatening to spill into other states — including California, New York, Florida and Indiana — in an emerging proxy war for control of Congress...

The long-classified annex from the Durham report tells us what Nancy was really up to. This May 16, 2016 quote from Nancy Pelosi has haunted me: “Donald Trump is not going to be President of the United States. Take it to the bank, I guarantee it.” All these years, I’ve wondered, how could she be so certain? This wasn’t just the usual campaign hyperbole. Her phrasing was simple noun-verb construction, nakedly declarative, and absolutely certain. She left herself absolutely no wiggle-room for later, just in case. Seasoned politicians don’t do that sort of thing typically and Nancy Pelosi is most...
