The new Michigan Democrat Senate candidate received a large donation from a terrorist front group, which also endorsed him in the primary.
Abdul El-Sayed won the Democrat Senate primary and will face Republican Mike Rogers in a key race in the midterm election. More ominously, between employees and leaders of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), El-Sayed has raised over $115,000. But CAIR is little more than a front group for Islamic jihad, with close ties to Hamas. Fox News reviewed evidence that resulted in the exposé on El-Sayed, who ironically has made “money out of politics” a rallying cry in his campaign. Then again,
(The Center Square) — The Trump administration unveiled a dashboard on Thursday to track fraud investigations and enforcement actions.
The dashboard, Fraud.gov, reports that the administration uncovered $229.9 billion in fraud since January 2025. The dashboard said the administration stopped $56.4 billion in annualized fraud and $55.5 billion from indictments or settlements.
The administration's Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, formally announced in February, sought to partner with agencies across the executive branch to combat fraud.
The dashboard reports three figures from each executive agency: fraud uncovered, fraud stopped and fraud enforced.
Remember how CBS “journalist” Scott Pelley breathlessly touted the 2020 election as 'the most secure in history'?
Pelley, oh so seriously, touted the statement from White House Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency director Christopher Krebs, who called it just that, and then the rest of the mainstream press repeated it in three-part harmony.
Christopher Krebs called the 2020 vote “the most secure in American history,” which promptly got him fired. Tonight, in his first interview since he was dismissed, Krebs tells us why he believes the vote was accurate and why saying otherwise puts the country in danger.

Staten Island patriot artist and relentless Trump-supporting activist Scott LoBaido suffered cardiac arrest Tuesday night at a pro-police National Night Out Against Crime event after attempting to confront radical socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, and later revealed from his hospital bed that he “actually died for 2 minutes.”
LoBaido, 61, the hard-charging conservative known for his massive American flag murals, anti-left stunts, and fierce defense of cops and America, collapsed at the Midland Beach boardwalk event in Staten Island shortly after Mamdani was mercilessly booed off the stage by the crowd.
Former Bill Clinton pollster, Mark Penn, appeared on FOX News today to talk about the Michigan senate race and what he expects to happen.
Penn suggested that if as little as five percent of Haley Stevens voters cross over and vote for Republican Mike Rogers, which is not only possible, but likely, that Abdul El-Sayed is cooked.
The Gateway Pundit has already shown videos of Michigan voters saying that is just what they are going to do, so this is not a longshot theory from Penn.

Texas Attorney General and Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton will have to take his fight over the "gun-free" state fair to the Texas Supreme Court after an appellate court upheld the ban on Thursday.
Paxton, along with several individual plaintiffs, filed suit after the State Fair of Texas announced in 2024 that the lawful carrying of firearms would no longer be allowed. The move came after a shooting during the fair in 2023, one that was committed by someone who couldn't legally carry a gun.
The lawsuit contended that the State Fair of Texas and the City of Dallas,

Donald Trump’s attorney general nominee Todd Blanche on Thursday secured the votes he needed to be confirmed by the Senate.
Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana turned out to be the decisive vote, and he announced his decision to support Blanche as head of the Department of Justice in a speech on the Senate floor Thursday morning.
“Mr. Blanche is not perfect, and he will tell you this, but the choice is not between perfection and Mr. Blanche,” Cassidy said. “It is between Mr. Blanche and another acting attorney general who may not run the department effectively
Kayleigh McEnany spent the darkest days of the COVID-19 pandemic just steps from Dr. Anthony Fauci while serving as White House press secretary during President Donald Trump's first term. Now, after digging into Fauci's newly revealed diaries, she says the American people got played.
"I was in the Situation Room with Dr. Fauci, I was in the Oval Office with Dr. Fauci, I had phone calls with Dr. Fauci. I spent a lot of time with this man,"[snip] while McEnany made her case publicly with real data behind her, Fauci was privately trashing the entire effort in his own diary.
Argentina’s President Javier Milei continues to govern in ways that conservatives in America can only dream of. Now he’s come up with a new proposal that the U.S. would do well to copy.
When Milei came into office, he promised to slash government spending, balance the budget, embrace free trade, deregulate the economy, and get hyperinflation under control. (“Experts” such as Paul Krugman said it would end in disaster.)
Milei’s lived up to his promises. Month-over-month inflation was running at 25% when he took office; it’s below 2% now. Argentina ran a budget surplus in 2024, the first time since
We’re hearing a lot of charges since Oct. 7th that Israel has committed a litany of war crimes. Let’s examine them very carefully because I think they tell us more about the accuser than they do the accused.
We’re told by a lot of representatives in our own Congress, mostly on the Democrat side, not all—Tucker Carlson, for example, Candace Owens, but also Zohran Mamdani and others have said that Israel is an apartheid state. In other words, it has racial enclaves.
But there’s nothing in the Israeli constitution that requires you to be Jewish. In fact, there’s 2 million Arabs living freely, voting freely inside Israel.

e Center Square) - A 37-year-old Spokane man is facing formal arson charges after allegedly confessing to starting dozens of wildfires across Spokane County over a year-long period, culminating in a massive 3,200-acre blaze that has destroyed hundreds of structures so far.
According to court records filed Wednesday in Spokane County Superior Court, Aaron Farinacci was arrested and charged following an investigation into the fast-moving Old Trails fire.
Detectives with the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office stated in an affidavit of facts that probable cause exists to hold Farinacci responsible for the catastrophic wildfire, as well as a series of serial arson incidents dating back to July 2025.
Records show that at least 22 Democrat attorneys general joined a coalition called the Project for Federal Accountability starting in April 2024, roughly seven months before Trump defeated Kamala Harris. Seven attorneys general signed the agreement on April 28, 2024. Thirteen more joined in May and June.
The pact was called "Privileged & Confidential Common Interest Agreement." It was built to do exactly what it sounds like: Keep the states' coordination hidden from the public and from anyone who might dare oppose them in court.
After more than two years of litigation, a coalition of Second Amendment groups and advocates have reached a settlement with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department over its policies and practices related to our right to bear arms.
California Rifle & Pistol Association, Second Amendment Foundation, Gun Owners of America, Gun Owners of California, and Gun Owners Foundation filed suit against LASD and the city of La Verne in December 2023, alleging that the sheriff's office was taking well over a year to process concealed carry applications, while La Verne officials were imposing exorbitant fees on residents who applied for a California Handgun Permit.

"The whole notion of a 'private sector' in China is fanciful..." — Roger Robinson former chairman of the United States-China Economic and Security Review Commission, to Gatestone Institute, August 3, 2026.
China's regime has sold more than MANPADs to Iran. The CM-302 missiles Iran fired at the Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group during the ongoing war — President Donald Trump said Iran fired 101 of them — were Chinese. There are images of Chinese military transports, during the war, landing in Iran after turning off their transponders.
Report — Trump Tells Donors He Wants

Vice President Vance to Win in 2028: ‘We
Need to Elect JD’ replies
President Donald Trump reportedly conveyed to donors during a private conversation in the Oval Office his desire that Vice President JD Vance win the 2028 presidential election.
“At the end of the day, we need to elect JD,” the president reportedly stated.
The news came after Trump said in June that a Republican presidential ticket featuring Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio would be “very unbeatable,” according to Breitbart News.
North Carolina Republican Sen. Thom Tillis went on MS NOW Thursday to launch a book tour, calling Trump supporters “sycophants, spineless, and weirdos” while offering praise for acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.
In an appearance on Morning Joe, Tillis said he was proud to “stick a fork” in the 1776 Fund, which was part of a settlement President Trump’s lawyers reached with the Internal Revenue Service after a contractor leaked tax returns to news organizations.
Yesterday I took a stab at why the pollsters were so far off on the Michigan Senate race. I think it was a pretty good first stab at explaining the issue, and no doubt there will be a lot of focus on the issue by people more competent than I to explain how the pollsters got things so wrong.
So I asked my friend-through-X, Scott Rasmussen, what he thought, and he was kind enough to give some insight into the issue.
First, let's look at the magnitude of the problem: The polls weren't just off by a little; they missed the result by double digits. And it was everybody,
Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for the Daily Signal.
We’re hearing more and more every day about Iran and [President Donald] Trump as the midterms now are only about 90 days away.

So the narrative has emerged that Donald Trump promises to hit them hard, they back down, and they say they want talks. They do not want talks. They want to delay, delay, delay, delay. Donald Trump then sporadically hits them. They come back to the table. (Snip)
So, what’s going on? What’s the big picture? I think we’re missing what’s actually happening every day.
Voters in Tennessee dealt President Trump a blow and rejected Republican Rep. Andy Ogles at the polls Thursday.
The second-term lawmaker faced a formidable primary challenge from Charlie Hatcher, a former state agriculture commissioner endorsed by outgoing Gov. Bill Lee (R). Hatcher’s victory is the latest blemish on Trump’s largely successful endorsement record this cycle.
Thursday’s primaries also marked the first elections with the Volunteer State’s new House map after lawmakers approved GOP-friendly redistricting this spring.
U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn has won the Republican primary for governor, beating U.S. Rep. John Rose and state Rep. Monty Fritts, R-Kingston.
Blackburn now faces Memphis Democrat Jerri Green in the general election. Tennessee hasn’t elected a Democrat to a statewide office since 2006. If elected, Blackburn would continue a streak of firsts, going from the state’s first female U.S. senator to its first female governor. At 74 years old, she would also make history as the state’s oldest governor.
Blackburn was an early frontrunner, leading in the polls even before she announced her candidacy. Her campaign caught some flak late in the race as she refused

Heated Meeting replies
McKinney City Council voted 7-0 late Tuesday to approve a site plan for a 32,573-square-foot mosque and Islamic center after more than 150 people signed up to speak, U.S. Rep. Keith Self warned against political Islam and police intervened as a woman confronted former Mayor George Fuller.
The vote came around 11:30 p.m. after hours of public comments from supporters and opponents who filled the council chamber, an overflow room and hallways inside City Hall. The packed meeting featured repeated boos, cheers and confrontations as speakers debated religious liberty, Sharia law, traffic and parking.
New York’s teachers’ unions are waging a vicious campaign against a federal program that would make education more affordable for low- and middle-income families.
The reason? They don’t want any competition — even if it comes at zero cost to public schools.
Through newspaper and TV ads and a dedicated website, the unions are spreading misinformation aimed at strong-arming Gov. Kathy Hochul into rejecting a federal tax-credit program she’s promised to join. Shameless online banners and a full-page ad in Hochul’s hometown Buffalo News blare, “Gov. Hochul, don’t opt in to Trump’s voucher scheme.”
Their fearmongering aims to bully Hochul into compliance.
Instead of insisting that Hamas dismantle its terrorist infrastructure without conditions, international mediators now appear to be discussing a plan to pay terrorists to hand over some of their weapons and enroll them in "rehabilitation" programs.
The proposal rests on two assumptions, both of which are dangerously flawed. The first is that Islamist terrorists can be persuaded to abandon jihad (holy war) in exchange for money. The second is that those who surrender weapons will genuinely renounce terrorism.
Haniyeh's response was unequivocal. "Our principle is Palestine from the [Jordan] River to the [Mediterranean] Sea," he declared, making clear that Hamas preferred its jihad against Israel over airports,
