Social media erupts after Democrats ‘burned
$64M’ on failed Virginia gerrymander
Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 5/8/2026 5:50:55 PM
The Virginia Supreme Court's ruling striking down Democrats’ costly redistricting push sparked an uproar on social media over the massive sum the party spent to pass the now-defunct congressional map. Virginians for Fair Elections, the main pro-redistricting group, raised north of $64 million in support of the Democratic-friendly gerrymander that could have netted the party four GOP-held seats in November’s midterm elections. Nearly $40 million of that came from an outside spending group aligned with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., who was heavily involved in the effort to redraw

A longtime donor and friend of Democrat Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer now faces no fewer than 16 felony charges related to misuse of funds.
Interestingly, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced the charges, proving that even a broken clock — or a corrupt Democrat — is right twice a day. “Today, we allege Fay Beydoun sought and received a $20 million 'Michigan enhancement grant' from the state Legislature, operated a criminal enterprise to use those funds for personal expenses and her own enrichment, and lied repeatedly when reporting how she used those funds,” Nessel accused. It seems as if this was a corrupt give-and-take, where Beydoun received state-approved funds after supporting
Gov. Gavin Newsom is rolling out a taxpayer-backed freebie for new parents, promising hundreds of diapers for every baby born in California under a new statewide program.
The Democrat announced Friday that the state will partner with nonprofit Baby2Baby to hand out 400 free diapers to families leaving participating hospitals, starting this summer. The initiative, dubbed "Golden State Start," is being billed as a first-in-the-nation effort to ease the high cost of raising a child.
"Every baby born in California deserves a healthy start in life," Newsom said in a statement, touting the plan as part of his broader push to tackle affordability. Under the program, hospitals will distribute the
Rep. Don Davis (D., N.C.) has built his political brand around his identity as an eastern North Carolinian, frequently touting his local roots in the state’s only swing district. Yet 90 percent of the individual donations to the Democrat came from out of state last quarter.
"If you from [sic] eastern North Carolina, which I am, we know about huntin’, we know about fishin', we know about some good barbeque," Davis told reporters on March 3. He offered nearly identical remarks in an interview with Spectrum News several months earlier and pushed a similar message during his first run for office. "I am a 5th-generation eastern North Carolinian,"
As we all know, the political leaders of the Democrat Party have absolutely no conscience whatsoever. Most politicians, around the world and in America (on both sides of the aisle), fall into that category, but Democrats are especially guilty of it. They lie, they propagandize, they demagogue, they cheat, they steal, they do whatever they believe is necessary to obtain and hold the power they lust for. It doesn’t matter what they need to do, how immoral it is, how egregious it is, how harmful it is to fellow Americans—if it puts them in power, they’ll do it. No conscience whatsoever. And they’ll hope sufficient Americans
A federal grand jury in Rhode Island has returned a four-count indictment charging Felipe Almonte Polanco, 57, of Providence, with wire fraud, theft of public money, false representation of a Social Security number, and aggravated identity theft related to an alleged scheme to fraudulently obtain Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits using the identities of deceased and other individuals. According to information presented to the court, investigators with the Social Security Administration Office of Inspector General and the Rhode Island Office of Internal Audit and Program Integrity began investigating fraudulent applications submitted in the identity of a deceased individual.
Administration officials are quietly using debt collection companies to enforce huge fines on migrants who have ignored judges’ orders to leave the United States.
Since January 2025, the Department of Homeland Security has levied fines against at least 65,000 migrants for at least $36 billion. Nationwide, roughly 1.5 million migrants have been ordered home but have not left.
Lawyers opposing the program will ask a Massachusetts judge on May 13 to halt the fines.
AZMirror reported the debt-collection notice sent to a landscaper who crossed into the United States 20 years ago:
Ex-Anthony Fauci adviser breaks his silence

on damning charges he destroyed COVID records 15 replies
GREENBELT, Md. — A former senior adviser to Dr. Anthony Fauci proclaimed on Friday he’s “innocent” of criminal charges that he conspired to stop investigations into the origins of the deadly COVID-19 pandemic.
Dr. David Morens, 78, pleaded not guilty to five counts before Magistrate Judge Ajmel Ahsen Quereshi in Maryland federal court during an arraignment hearing Friday with his defense attorneys Timothy Belevetz and Morgan Taylor.
Morens, who faces up to 51 years in federal prison if convicted, told The Post, “I’m innocent” ahead of the hearing while seated in the courthouse lobby — and carried on calmly solving what appeared to be a Sudoku puzzle. Asked in the hearing
The hammer is finally coming down on those who think they can skip out on their legal and moral obligations to their own children while enjoying the luxury of international travel.
The U.S. State Department announced Friday that it has officially begun the process of revoking the passports of thousands of Americans who owe significant amounts of unpaid child support.
Starting this week, the Department will begin revoking the passports of thousands of Americans who owe substantial unpaid child support, with an initial focus on those racking up $100,000 or more in arrears.
According to figures provided to the State Department
The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board has ordered that the “Texas American Muslim University at Dallas” immediately cease operations, saying it has been illegally offering higher education programs in Texas without state authorization. The “TexAM University at Dallas” or “Texas American Muslim University” (TexAM) has been marketing itself as a new university for Muslim students. The institution has been claiming to offer STEM programs alongside mandatory Islamic studies. According to a letter sent by the coordinating board, TexAM has never received the required Certificate of Authority from the state to operate or grant degrees in Texas under Chapter 61 of the Texas Education Code.
Attorneys for the man accused of attempting to kill President Donald Trump on April 25 during the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner at the Washington Hilton hotel slammed U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro while demanding she recuse herself from the case. The nine-page motion to disqualify, filed on Thursday, argues that Pirro, along with Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and other unnamed DOJ officials, have a conflict of interest that should bar them from participation in prosecuting Cole Allen. It further says that the entire U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia, which is currently prosecuting the case, should be disqualified.
Migrants quitting asylum claims and volunteering to leave the US have increased at least seven-fold under President Trump — with the administration touting the increase as a success for the rule of law, but critics arguing it’s a sign detention practices have gotten out of hand.
More than 80,000 “voluntary departure” orders were issued by US immigration judges between Jan. 2025 and March 2026 — a more than 600% increase from the 11,400 issued during the last 15 months of former President Joe Biden’s term, according to numbers from the Vera Institute of Justice reviewed by the Washington Post.

A Frontier Airlines plane aborted takeoff after it struck a person on a runway at Denver International Airport late Friday, a spokesperson for the carrier and the Federal Aviation Administration told CNN.
Flight 4345, an Airbus A321, was departing from Denver en route to Los Angeles and carried 224 passengers and 7 crew members, Frontier Airlines said in a statement. It was scheduled to depart at 10:39 p.m. local time.
As the plane was departing, “the aircraft reportedly struck a pedestrian on the runway during takeoff,” the airline said. “Smoke was reported in the cabin and the pilots aborted takeoff. Passengers were then safely evacuated via slides as a matter of precaution.”

An ugly internal power struggle in Iran is muddying mediation talks with the US, as pro-war and pro-deal factions battle it out over whether Tehran should ever surrender, sources familiar with mediation efforts tell The Post.
Though Iran’s political elites — including its president, foreign minister and parliamentary speaker — have been at the center of efforts to hammer out peace terms, regional sources told The Post that it’s Iran’s military leadership that ultimately has the power to accept or reject any agreement.
“One faction there right now is at its highest point ever in its history — the IRGC,” a source told The Post.
Be of good cheer.

It's incredibly demoralizing to law-abiding, rule-following, normal Americans to watch Democrats publicly commit crimes without ever getting in trouble for it.
I’m not talking about the indictments and prosecutions of high-level Democrats on charges that may or may not hold up in court — the Jim Comeys and Letitia Jameses. These prosecutions may or may not be at least partly politically motivated, but Democrats will always think that's all they were. And the refined legal arguments for conviction stand little chance of success in leftist jurisdictions like Washington and New York.
I’m talking about Democrat politicians who knowingly flout the law, brazenly and openly, on video for all to see.
A 23-year-old woman recounted the terrifying subway attack she suffered at the hands of the same recidivist madman accused of fatally shoving a retired Big Apple teacher down a flight of stairs hours after being released from a psych ward.
The horrified victim told The Post she and a friend were on a subway in Manhattan on April 2 when Rhamell Burke approached them and began a conversation they quickly shut down before frantically trying to switch cars to get away from him.
She said the crazed suspect stalked them closely and allegedly yanked her by the back of her head in an attempt to slam her to the ground
The U.S. media has tabled a question that warrants examining two 20th-century historical events.
The question asked is whether U.S. credibility in deterring Iran’s mullahs and getting them to toe the line has been weakened by critics such as comedian Jimmy Kimmel and politicians who mock or otherwise criticize President Donald Trump’s actions against Tehran.
The first historical event involves a battle of the Cold War, fought against the Soviet Union on February 22, 1980.
While this battle resulted in American blood being shed, it was not due to a military conflict but to an athletic one.
Bass withdraws from LA mayoral forum
9 replies
LOS ANGELES - Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has withdrawn from participating in a candidate forum scheduled for Wednesday, the co-sponsors announced Saturday.
What we know:
The forum, co-sponsored by the League of Women Voters and the Pat Brown Institute for Public Affairs, was scheduled to air on May 13.
Of the five candidates originally invited, three are still slated to appear: Councilwoman Nithya Raman, businessman Adam Miller, and community advocate Rae Huang. The Bass campaign defended the decision by pointing to her recent debate schedule, noting she debated her "top two opponents twice this week."

On Wednesday, Cam wrote about a YouTube channel publishing AI slop, claiming that carry permits were struck down nationwide. That's one of those "big if true" moments that we all know isn't true. They could have done that with the Bruen decision, if so inclined, and this is the same court that ruled there. It's just not remotely likely that would be true, and that bothers me because it's not like there isn't enough good news to go around, like the latest comments from the DOJ.
See, while Rhode Island is trying to take people's AR-15s and similar modern sporting rifles, the Department of Justice is confident just what will happen
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy confirmed that the shocking accident Friday night in which one individual was killed and more than a dozen more injured was the result of a deliberate trespass on the part of the dead man.
Duffy’s conclusion was to warn people not to trespass at airports, because, of course, they are not prepared for random people to run suddenly across runways. But frankly, I think if someone deliberately managed to penetrate that far into an airport as a breach, and walked right out in front of an airplane in takeoff sequence, the person was either on drugs or suicidal.
In the continuing Iran conflict, voices on both sides of the American political spectrum have made the claim that the mullahs can score a strategic victory by merely surviving, especially if they can do so while retaining a semblance of control over the Strait of Hormuz. If these observers are right that Iran’s victory would not be “military” but “strategic,” one need not look far back in American history to find a precedent. At the start of the Korean War in June 1950, North Korean communists under the control of Kim Il-Sung crossed the 38th Parallel and attacked South Korea. Armed and encouraged by the Soviet Union,
