A Republican district attorney from Monroe County, New York elected as a non-partisan was pulled over by a local hamlet police officer. She defies his lawful orders and throws a tantrum over a traffic stop.
She is white.
The cop is white.
Had it been a Black man, Black woman or a person of Arab descent, expect the use of force with the cops mentioning that the suspect "didn't comply", "disregarded a lawful order" or they were "reaching for something."
The incident happened and it has become a national issue on how police reform is definitely needed.
Fox will not identify the political affiliation with the district attorney involved. The far right propaganda network would have certainly demonize this individual if it was a Democrat.
Sandra Doorley became the Karen of month.
Winners and losers of 2024.
Doorley flashes the badge.
Doorley was elected Monroe County District Attorney as a Democrat defeating Republican candidate Bill Taylor. Doorley garnered almost 60% of the vote and over 78,000 individual votes. She was sworn in on December 30, 2011 at the Rochester Girls and Boys Club. She became the first female to hold the office of District Attorney in Monroe County. Michael Charles Green (whom she succeeded) joined Doorley's office as an advisor but left in February 2012 for another position.
In 2015, Doorley switched her party affiliation to the GOP, and was reelected later that year in an election. "Don't judge me by the political party that I'm affiliated with," she said. "Look at the work that I've done."
On April 22, 2024, Doorley was spotted going 55 mph in a 35 mph residential area by Webster Police. The officer attempted to conduct a traffic stop, following with lights and sirens, but Doorley did not pull over and instead drove home while calling the Webster chief of police. Doorley can be seen on Webster police body cam responding “I don’t care” when informed by the officer she was driving 20 mph over the limit, and that she “didn’t feel like stopping” when asked why she did not yield. The footage also shows Doorley repeatedly invoking her position as district attorney during the incident. Doorley was subsequently issued a speeding ticket. In a statement, Doorley said she pleaded guilty to speeding the following day.
Doorley shut down social media after the Karen moment.
Doorley shows how Republicans refuse to accept accountability for their actions.
She learned it from folks like former president Donald J. Trump, Rupert Murdoch, Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro, Jeanine Piro, Joe Brown, Roseanne Barr, Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert, Dick Cheney, Roger Stone, Steve Bannon, Bill O'Reilly and Michael Flynn.
The Republican Party is devoid of morals and civility. They have no shame in how they operate. Doorley proved that she can do whatever she wants. Had she been a Black woman, they would have drew firearms and demand her on the ground. Even traveling at least two blocks would merit a cop to draw a firearm on a Black motorist.
With billions of dollars of aid going to Israel, you would think that American lawmakers would have our taxpayer money spent on more useful things!
The lawmakers will spend more taxpayer money to fix our crumbling infrastructure.
Many of these Republicans who vote against funding the government and assistance for some of America's less fortunate are willing to give billions to a foreign nation engaged in an illegal act of genocide. Same with Democrats. They claim they want to protect democracy but endorse a fascist government sworn to being an ethnostate on our taxpayer dime.
When will American lawmakers come to their senses and start focusing on the needs of Americans and not Israelis?
Heartbreaking pictures coming in from Sulphur, Oklahoma showing significant tornado damage from last night’s storms. Our crews are spread out across the region today surveying the hardest hit areas.
🚨#UPDATE: More Additional footage reveals that vehicles and buildings are completely destroyed after multiple large and violent tornadoes passed through Sulphur, OK, impacting the town multiple times tonight pic.twitter.com/PWZuUtU0Wf
Israel doesn't do shit for the United States. All it does is continue hostile tensions in the Middle East, ignore international law, defy U.S. order to stop carrying out illegal invasions, push propaganda and espionage tactics on civilians. Israel always begs constantly for our taxpayer money.
The city of Sulphur, Oklahoma was destroyed by a powerful and deadly Ef-5 tornado.
President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Kevin Stitt, Sen. John Lankford (R-OK), Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), Chickasaw Nation Gov. Bill Anoatubby, Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK), Rep. Kevin Hern (R-OK), Rep. Stephanie Bice (R-OK), Rep. Josh Brecheen (R-OK) and Rep. Frank Lucas (R-OK) were notified of the destruction.
Climate change is real.
The city of Sulphur is located in the Chickasaw Nation. Murray County is part of a national emergency due to the destruction.
A tornado outbreak is ongoing across portions of the Midwestern and Southern United States, as multiple tornadoes were reported across several states. A tornado in Lancaster County, Nebraska injured three people, while a tornado occurred across northeastern Lincoln, Nebraska. At least two fatalities were attributed to the tornadoes, with more than 49 people injured. At least twenty six tornadoes were confirmed, with ten in Iowa and one each in Nebraska and Texas. Significant damage was also reported in Blair, Nebraska, and Elkhorn, Nebraska with a tornado that prompted two tornado emergencies. Another long-tracked tornado in Iowa that impacted Shelby County, Iowa prompted two tornado emergencies as well. On April 27, several tornadoes occurred in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. Overnight, a significant tornado hit Holdenville, Oklahoma causing at least two fatalities and four injuries. A tornado impacted Sulphur, Oklahoma as well, causing at least 20 injuries.
Colin Jost of SNL will be the host of the 2024 White House Correspondents Dinner. This is the gathering of the U.S. and world media groups, President Joe Biden and the elite.
With the election looming, Biden goes in with a 45% chance of winning reelection.
The issues facing the country are the protests on colleges, a lazy Congress, TikTok being banned, Israel, Russia, Ukraine, Haiti, Chad, Niger, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Taiwan, China and the economy. Also the ages of Biden, Donald J. Trump and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. are issues as well.
Biden is stubbornly opposed to ending aid to Israel.
Biden expecting to roast Trump and address issues.
Republicans refuse to work with Biden on anything (with exception to Israel and the TikTok ban).
Tonight, the laughs, the controversy and the president.
The annual event, which typically consists of the night’s comedian roasting powerful political figures and various media outlets, is expected to feature an election-year roast from Biden.
A mix of political, media and Hollywood figures have arrived at the so-called “Nerd Prom” this evening, including SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher, Gayle King, Billy Porter, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Al Roker, Chris Pine, Senator Chuck Schumer of New York and many more.
Jost started writing for “SNL” in 2005 and has been the co-anchor of “Weekend Update,” along with Michael Che, since 2014.
House member Donald Payne, Jr. passed away from a heart attack.
Donald Payne, Jr., a longtime U.S. Representative from New Jersey has passed away from a heart attack. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Phil Murphy, Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) were informed of this.
Payne's death sets up a special primary and election.
Payne served for 12 years in the Newark-area seat his father had held for more than two decades. Representing a heavily Democratic and majority Black district, Payne drew strong marks from liberal organizations for his voting record.
“With his signature bowtie, big heart, and tenacious spirit, Donald embodied the very best of public service,” Murphy said. “As a former union worker and toll collector, he deeply understood the struggles our working families face, and he fought valiantly to serve their needs, every single day.”
His district is safe and it Democrats will have no problems (for now).
In 2021, Payne sits down with members and the president.
New Jersey’s Democratic Party chair, LeRoy Jones Jr., called Payne a “towering figure in both our party and our community.”
The Congressional Black Caucus said Payne would be remembered for his kindness and generosity and called him an advocate for progressive causes including making college tuition free, expanding voting rights and fighting climate change.
Payne had previously served as City Council president in Newark, New Jersey’s largest city, and on the Essex County Board of Commissioners.
Payne’s office had said his heart attack was connected to complications from diabetes.
Payne’s father, Donald Milford Payne, held the congressional seat before him. When the elder Payne died in 2012, the younger ran successfully in a special election to succeed him.
Payne had won reelection six times since. The district covers parts of Newark and its heavily populated suburbs.
Murphy’s office declined to comment Wednesday on the governor’s plans to order a special election to fill the rest of Payne’s current term, which ends Jan. 3, 2025.
Payne already filed paperwork by the March deadline to run for reelection and is to appear uncontested on the June 4 primary ballot. Should he remain on the primary ballot and win the nomination, Democratic Party committee members in his district could choose a replacement candidate to run in the November general election.
The district is likely to remain in Democratic hands, with registered Democrats outnumbering Republicans there more than 6 to 1.
A New Jersey colleague, Democratic U.S. Rep. Frank Pallone, called Payne a “truly great public servant” who liked to call him “Uncle Frank” and had fought to raise awareness for diabetes and colorectal cancer prevention and to replace lead pipes in Newark.
Another colleague, Democratic U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson, of Mississippi, called Payne a “thoughtful legislator, a dear friend, and a man of such a kind and affable nature that he was well-liked and respected” by both Democrats and Republicans.
“Most importantly, he was a devoted family man, and it was this role that drove his passion for the policies he pursued,” Thompson said.
As a member of the Committee on Homeland Security, Payne made school security a priority, helping to establish a School Safety Task Force at the Department of Homeland Security and pressing for federal agencies to take extra precautions for children and schools during emergencies, Thompson said.
“He leaves behind an important legacy through his congressional service: making children safer. In his honor, we will continue that legacy,” Thompson said.
Payne’s survivors include his wife, Beatrice, and their three children, Murphy said.
An Israeli war criminal injured in a car accident.
Irony....
Itamar Ben Gvir, a far right Israeli National Security Adviser who is proud to arm illegal settlers firearms in the West Bank, starve innocent civilians and children in Gaza, support invasions in Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen. He is supportive of American lawmakers and police officers condemning student protests.
He is the Israeli version of insufferables. Ted Cruz, Elon Musk, Sean "Softball" Hannity, Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Ronny Jackson, Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, Lindsey Graham, Matt Gaetz, Byron Donalds, Laura Ingraham, Ben Shapiro, Candace Owens, Andrew Tate, Bill O'Reilly, Pat Buchanan, Rand Paul, Laura Loomer and Joe Rogan are insufferable figures in American pop culture.
They are grifters, rage actors and worthless people. They think they matter....
In reality, they aren't.
Ben Gvir claims to be untouchable. I guess karma checked in.
Footage on social media showed a car that had flipped over.
Ben Gvir injured a 18 year old driver.
Two other people were also injured and the circumstances of the incident were under investigation, police said.
Israeli media said Ben Gvir had been returning from the scene of a stabbing in the city of Ramle, near Tel Aviv.
A 19-year-old woman was seriously injured in that incident, according emergency services. Central district police chief Avi Biton said a man who reportedly had mental health issues had attacked the woman and had then been shot and "neutralised" by a civilian.

Ben Gvir is a controversial member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's emergency government.
He recently called for a full-scale military response by Israel against Iran after Tehran's missile and drone attack on Israel, itself prompted by an Israeli attack which killed senior Iranian military figures in the Iranian consulate in Syria.
Ben Gvir has also advocated the relocation of Palestinians from Gaza and supported calls for the re-establishment of Jewish settlements there.
Well here we go again. A police encounter on a Black civilian turns deadly. Of course, the far right will justify his death with the words, "he should have complied."
They will claim that the individual's arrests and mugshots justify police killing him.
WYKC, an affiliate to NBC that serves Cleveland/Akron/Canton already doing the work.
America is so fucked up.
By the way, Israel trains U.S. police officers tactics on how to detain, arrest and restrain suspects. It is a fair exchange. Police officers still use chokeholds and lethal forces when they "fear for their lives."
A Canton, Ohio man becomes the latest victim of police violence. The officers who engaged with him will claim he was resisting arrest and qualified immunity protects them. Even with body cameras, cops lie and deceive the actual encounter.
Think about the person who filmed the encounter, rest assured, cops would try to detain and/or arrest that individual. All over a traffic accident and a call for a trespassing.
The Canton Police Department in Ohio has released body camera video from the night a 53-year-old man died after he repeatedly told officers “I can’t breathe” as he was handcuffed with his hands behind his back and he was pinned to the ground.
In video of the encounter on April 18, the man, Frank Tyson, can be seen lying motionless on the floor of a bar for more than 5 minutes before police check him for a pulse and about 8 minutes before CPR is started.
In the nearly 36-minute video, police respond to the scene of a single-car crash to find a downed power pole and an unoccupied vehicle with the driver’s side door open and an airbag deployed.
In the video, a man in a white van, whose face is blurred, drives by and tells police that the man responsible is at an AMVETS lodge down the street. Officers enter the lodge, and a woman asks them to remove Tyson. When the officers approach him, he knocks over a barstool and tells them to get the sheriff.
They then attempt to handcuff him. Police identified Beau Schoenegge and Camden Burch as the “two primary officers” who responded to the call. The video was captured by Schoenegge’s body camera.
A 🧵 about the death of Frank E. Tyson in Canton, Ohio.
He died after prone restraint applied by arresting officers on April 18.
We’ve spent years investigating this.
I’d like to highlight a few key moments.
Here is first moment of contact. Tyson is in AMVETS lodge
— Chris Vanderveen (yep…me) (@chrisvanderveen) April 25, 2024
As reporters start to do stories on this latest death, I would urge them to provide critical context.
This isn’t an isolated death. It’s part of a pattern of deaths across the US.
Reporters MUST ask Canton PD about their prone restraint policy. Do they train on this?

One more thing. @CHansen9NEWS brings up an excellent point.
Officers are now taught to treat people saying “I can’t breathe” as a potential medical emergency.
If someone says this repeatedly during prone restraint, you MUST act accordingly immediately after handcuffing
— Chris Vanderveen (yep…me) (@chrisvanderveen) April 25, 2024
WARNING: GRAPHIC ⚠️ Police in Ohio commit an extrajudicial execution on a man who's heard saying "I can't breathe." One of the cops proudly says "I've always wanted to be in a bar fight" while Frank Tyson, 53, is facedown on the floor dying without first aid. pic.twitter.com/Evlr46BHZF
“They’re trying to kill me,” Tyson says. “They’re trying to kill me.”
Tyson shouts “Call the sheriff” several more times and continues to say, “They’re trying to kill me.”
Police then take him to the ground, and a voice can be heard saying, “You’re going to get sprayed.” Another person says, “Don’t spray him.”
Once Tyson is handcuffed, one of the officers appears to put his knee on the top of Tyson’s upper body, while Tyson says “I can’t breathe” multiple times.
An officer tells him to calm down and to stop fighting. Tyson responds: “I can’t breathe. I can’t breathe. You’re on my neck.”
The officer had his knee on Tyson for about 30 seconds, according to the video.
Shortly after the officer removes his knee, Tyson again says he can’t breathe, to which someone responds: “You’re fine. Shut the f--- up.”
After Tyson appears to stop moving, an officer is seen looking through Tyson’s wallet and talking to bystanders. Tyson appears to be motionless on the floor for more than 5 minutes, while at least one officer talks with bar patrons.
At one point the officer jokes: “I’ve always wanted to be in a bar fight. I don’t know if this counts.”
When one of the officers returns in the frame, he asks whether Tyson has calmed down and whether he’s breathing.
The officer checks him for a pulse, and officers later perform chest compressions on an unresponsive Tyson.
Canton police said in a news release Friday that officers had responded to a report of a one-vehicle crash just after 8:15 p.m. Thursday. They said witnesses directed them to the AMVETS, where they made contact with Tyson and he struggled with them.
“Shortly after securing him in handcuffs, Officers recognized that Tyson had become unresponsive,” the news release said.
The news release said that CPR and several doses of Narcan were administered before Canton Fire Department medics arrived and that Tyson was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 9:18 p.m.
His cause of death is pending, said Harry Campbell, chief investigator for the Stark County Coroner’s Office.
In addition to the body camera video, police also released recordings from two 911 calls.
The tactics of kneeing were trained to American cops by Israel.
The police department said in a statement that it “immediately contacted” the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation to conduct an independent investigation. Without naming Tyson, the bureau confirmed that its investigation of a “fatal officer-involved critical incident” is active and ongoing.
Canton Mayor William Sherer II said he had sat down with members of Tyson’s family “to not only allow them to see what is now being released to the public, but to give them my condolences in person.”
Sherer said in a statement that his goal is to be as transparent as possible.
“This investigation is in the hands of BCI, and we will continue to provide them with all the required information they need to do their work,” he said.
Police Chief John Gabbard said he extended his “deepest sympathy” to those close to Tyson.
“Based on experience, I am confident that BCI will conduct a very thorough review,” Gabbard said.
Sherer and Gabbard said that because of the pending investigation, they are limited in what they can say or what information they can provide.
Schoenegge and Burch, both of whom joined the department in 2022 and are assigned to the traffic bureau, have been placed on paid administrative leave pending an investigation under department policy.
Rite Aid is on the ropes. More Dayton, Ohio locations are closing.
We got so many issues in our country.
Hey let's give billions to Israel and ban TikTok because of the app being owned by the Chinese. Capitalism for greed. Socialism for foreign countries.
I don't watch the local news but when I see the area, I think about how nothing changes.
Rite Aid, CVS and Walgreens are closing locations in the United States.
Dayton, Ohio is no different.
Rite Aid is closing the Salem Avenue location in Harrison Township.
Earlier this month, Walgreens closed its Hoover Avenue location.
Several Dayton locations have closed. They have closed locations in Dayton, Harrison Township, Kettering, Riverside, Trotwood and other areas.
Rite Aid told Insider that it considers a variety of factors when deciding to close a store, “including business strategy, lease and rent considerations, local business conditions and viability, and store performance.”
Jeffrey Stein, the company’s chief executive officer and chief restructuring officer, is due to get a $20 million “success fee” at the end of the process, which lawyers complained — in a court filing Monday — is the same total all “unsecured creditors” will get.
After pushing local pharmacies to close, Rite Aid, CVS and Walgreens move into the area.
These companies push ridiculously high prices on products, lobby for more corporate greed and refuse to take accountability for the opioid epidemic. Mind you, they are willing to shelve millions to CEOs, top executives and product sponsors, but pass on the prices to the consumer. They lobby cities to build their locations on the promises of new jobs, easy access to consumer needs and low prices.
Once they build their new location, they open up and slowly raise their prices to make it seem like they're just going with the trends.
They will claim it was because of shrink and low foot traffic for the location to close.
Rep. Mike Carey (R-OH) and Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH) complain about Biden's policies but never do anything to improve them. They vote against almost everything Biden pushes but take credit for the successes.
The junk food media will hype up stories of homeless people or individuals shoplifting from these stores. Many of these folks on the far right will call for violence over a few dollars of theft. These companies will complain about how shrink is the reasons for locations pulling out of communities.
Well it is one factor..... but the actual factor is the company's inability to keep private equity firms happy. They own almost every stock in Walgreens, CVS and Rite Aid.
When these businesses close, they leave abandoned buildings. These buildings become a nuisance and prime target for vandalism and arson.
I was criticizing former president Donald J. Trump for allowing my community to fall victim to food and pharmacy deserts. I was angry when Premier Health Partners closed Good Samaritan Hospital. I was angry when TeraData left Dayton. I was angry when Kroger closed its Harrison Township location. The coronavirus pandemic in 2020, the tornado and mass shooting in 2019 were reasons why I didn't vote for Trump.
Biden was not my first, second or third choice. He was my fifth choice. I was for Kamala Harris, Michael Bloomberg, Cory Booker and Pete Buttigieg. Knowing all of them were in favor of aiding Israel and looking the other way to the apartheid, I would have not backed them. Republicans are lockstep with Israel.
Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) have not improve things in Ohio. Population still declining, opioid epidemic is bad and food deserts in urban areas continue.
Now as we are seeing day by day as companies are closing around Dayton, I start to think that President Joe Biden, Ohio Republican Gov. Mike DeWine, Dayton mayor Jeff Mims failed this community.
I believe Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH), Rep. Mike Carey (R-OH), Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) have their priorities fixated on other issues.
Vance would stare at the sky with a firearm trying to showboat himself shooting at a 10 ton surveillance balloon. Vance did not vote to aid Israel or ban TikTok. He was upset that funding went to Ukraine. If Ukraine aid was left out, Vance would definitely vote to ban TikTok and aid Israel.
Brown voted to give aid Israel, ban TikTok and brag about Intel coming to Ohio in 2026 despite the chip maker seeing problems ahead. Brown is facing a tough opponent named Bernie Moreno, a closeted Ohio Republican who will say anything to win Trump's support. Brown wants to shift to the center now that he is facing a candidate that isn't closeted Republican Josh Mandel.
Walgreens closes its West Dayton location.
Turner complains about Republicans being in the back pocket of Russia but in reality he and his fellow members are in the back pocket of Israel. He voted to give aid to Israel, ban TikTok and still couldn't tell you which Dayton neighborhoods have a food deserts. He represents Dayton, Centerville, Trotwood, Oakwood, Clayton, Englewood, Springfield, Huber Heights, Xenia, Yellow Springs, Cedarville and Kettering.
Carey voted to give aid to Israel, ban TikTok and refuses to aid Ohioans struggling from a tornado and a train derailment. He couldn't tell you which neighborhoods in his district were affected by tornado damages, the opioid epidemic, food and pharmacy deserts. He practically lives in Columbus, but never cares about his district communities of Tipp City, Vandalia, Huber Heights, South Charleston, Urbancrest, Grove City, Valleycrest, London, Troy, Hillard and New Carisle.
By the way, Rep. Greg Landsman (D-OH), Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-OH) and Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH) can't do anything for Cincinnati. The same thing happening in Dayton is happening in the Cincinnati area too. They all voted to fund Israel, ban TikTok and stated their stances on peaceful protests at Miami University, Ohio University, the University of Cincinnati and Xavier University. They want protesters arrested. They won't do anything about the opioid epidemic. They couldn't tell you which neighborhoods in their districts are affected by food and pharmacy deserts.
Davidson represents Cincinnati, Eaton, West Chester, Hamilton, Greenville, Middletown, Troy, Tipp City and Piqua.
Landsman represents Cincinnati, Norwood, Indian Hill, Lebanon, Middletown, Springboro and Mason.
Don't let Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) fool you. He is pro Israel too. He is a do nothing lawmaker who refuses to vote on spending. He can't even vote to approve funding for the Brent Spense Bridge rebuilding project in his own district. That bridge is dangerous and structurally inefficient.
Biden, Trump, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Congress and the junk food media are supportive of Israel. It must end. We have too many damn things in our country to focus on. Trust me, this giving aid to Israel will end soon. Cause Americans are tired of taxpayer money going to foreign countries while our own country is still struggling to survive.
Slandering two Black election workers cost The Gateway Pundit big time.
While it is not the end, but we are seeing the eventual downfall of an infamous conspiracy theorist platform. The two former Georgia poll workers became victims of a smear campaign that painted them as criminals who stole the 2020 election from former president Donald J. Trump.
To this day, they are still flanked with baseless allegations and threats of death.
So they decided to take the agitators to court. Now I really hope that Fox is next on their agenda.
Ruby Freeman and daughter Shaye Moss sued Rudy Giuliani. He is ordered to pay $175 million in punitive damages for the relentless smear campaign against them.
Now the most dumbest agitator on the planet must fork over millions. Besides, Sean "Softball" Hannity, there is Jim Hoft. The St. Louis-native is an openly gay white nationalist who owns and operates The Gateway Pundit. He had to declare Chapter 11 bankruptcy after he and his company lost in a major defamation lawsuit.
"TGP Communications, the parent company of The Gateway Pundit, recently made the decision to seek protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the Southern District of Florida as a result of the progressive liberal lawfare attacks against our media outlet.
This is not an admission of fault or culpability. This is a common tool for reorganization and to consolidate litigation when attacks are coming from all sides. It allows TGP to consolidate this lawfare in one court for ultimate resolution.
The moron must pay victims despite declaring bankruptcy.
Despite the radical left’s efforts to silence The Gateway Pundit through censorship, de-platforming, de-banking, cut-off from advertisers, and other financial strategies, we will not be deterred from our mission of remaining fearless and being one of the most trusted independent media outlets in America today. We do not expect that to change."
Founded in 2004, The Gateway Pundit expanded from a one-person enterprise into a multi-employee operation that is supported primarily by advertising revenue. During the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign, the site received over a million unique visitors per day. In September 2021, Google demonetized the site for publishing misinformation.
It was banned by X in 2021.
Elon Musk reinstated that platform as well as Trump, Laura Loomer, Alex Jones, Kevin Jackson and The Gateway Pundit.
Let's dispel the notion that being anti-Israel and anti-Zionist is anti-Semitic. By no means criticism of Israeli government, its leadership and these actions over the last two weeks equate to attacking the Jewish religion. If you ask me, the Israeli government and Zionist propaganda are being exposed for hyping up religious angst to cover for years of genocide and apartheid of the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip.
President Joe Biden is doing the very same thing former Donald J. Trump is doing when it comes to losing. He is underestimating the power of protesters. Remember he was trying to "save the soul" of America. He used the tragedy of George Floyd to his advantage.
Trump called protesters vermin and stood in front of a church in the middle of a deadly pandemic holding a bible to show how he is truly on the side of "law and order."
Trump ignored the cries to do something on gun violence and encouragement of police reform. He managed to lose votes because he was tone deaf.
Once Biden got into the White House, he abandoned this for the status quo. The Israeli lobby managed to keep him and Democrats in place.
As protest grows, Republicans and Democratic governors as well as Congress are pushing for restrictions and jailing of protesters. They decided that "privileged" college students have no ideas or the competence to understand the dynamics of the Israeli-Hamas war.
Because of TikTok, more Americans are sympathetic with Palestinians and believe Hamas is not the enemy as Israel and the U.S. claimed it is. The lobbyists at AIPAC and the ADL decided to push for a ban on TikTok.
Congress decided to pass a ban on TikTok.
Now the company has less than a year to divest from ByteDance or face a permanent ban.
It was a bipartisan effort by both Republican and Democratic lawmakers. Biden is expected to sign it into law. It will be a dangerous decision that may cost the president votes.
Biden is ignoring the cries of voters. The Arab American and Muslim vote helped Biden win Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin. These states have a large Arab American population. Now many of them are abandoning him because he is tone deaf.
What is more ironic, Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli regime want Trump despite Biden signing a law giving billions of aid to Israel without any conditions. It shows how ungrateful and pointless Israel is to the United States. Biden at the thought of conditions and sanctions backed out because of his members of the Democratic Party demanding him to not cave to the pro Palestinian protesters.
The Israeli regime has now devised new tactics to stop protests. They are now using the ADL as a powerful weapon. The ADL launched this ridiculous "report card" system to claim that colleges and universities are not doing enough to stop antisemitism.
This vile man tells American lawmakers to find ways to end protests.
They are demanding women of color who are presidents of esteemed colleges and universities to resign because of the protest.
What we are seeing right now, is the downside of democracy. Texas governor Greg Abbott used the Texas state patrol and the University of Texas-Austin Police to violently remove protesters after day stage day walk out in solidarity with the Palestinian people. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), Rep. Virgina Foxx (R-NY), New York's Republicans Mike Lawler, Nicole Malliotakis and Anthony D'Esposito went to Columbia University to denounce the protesters and call for the resignation of the college professors and college president.
Several Democratic lawmakers have went on several junk food media programs to say that their students are not safe. Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ), Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) and Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) have all called upon colleges to stop antisemitism despite the unfounded claims.
The George Floyd protests started in May 2020 when a Minneapolis Police officer placed his goddamn knee on the neck of Floyd. That tactic was trained to U.S. law enforcement by the Israelis.
When the Black Lives Matter movement declared a stance on the Israel-Palestinian conflict, the Israeli lobby wanted to stop it. So they equated the protesters to be violent.
Agent provocateurs would infiltrate the protests and agitate aggression. It would get play on local and cable news.
It's time to sanction Israel for war crimes. It's time for Benjamin Netanyahu and the entire Israel government to be sent to the Hague.
Don't call me anti-Semitic because I'm calling the state of Israel a terrorist state! It's there in clear sights. The United States was always slow to doing something. They took forever to deal with South Africa during its apartheid.
Now it's time to pressure American companies to not do business with Israel. It's time for Americans to stand up against legislation that requires forcible removal from their employers because they criticize Israel.
Americans should not lose their jobs because they criticize Israel.
Biden is supposed to change the status quo. It appears he's not willing to do it until we pressure him to do so.
You upset over protests. Get upset over your taxpayer money going to Israel.
Democrats can't use the "save democracy" theme anymore. These idiots just voted to support a ban on an app that has an operation in the United States operating as an independent of its owner. They falsely believed
America is so divided.
Trump is the very definition of white privilege. He claims that he fraud trial, interference in the certification of an election trial, his deliberate theft of classified documents trial and hush money trial are election interference. He gets more privileges to move around the country where other defendants are on house arrest or in custody until trial.
All those people who participated in the Jan. 6 insurrection are in federal time out and Trump is fighting to stay out. He promises to pardon those who threatened to destroy democracy.
People are literally buying up thousands of dollars of Trump propaganda believing that Biden's failures will be Trump guidance to victory.
All Trump does is whine and bitch about how he is a "victim." His current trial will keep him off the campaign and of course he keeps violating the gag order.
Let me get this straight: You are more upset over words than actions. You are upset someone using their freedom of speech to criticize a foreign country engaged in a propaganda campaign to shield itself from war crimes and impunity. You are upset over people using their voices, their wallets and their time to protest an injustice. Well, get upset over your taxpayer money aiding foreign nations. Get upset over foreign nations killing Americans in a war funded by our taxpayer money. Get upset over the deaths of thousands in Haiti, Chad, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Syria, Venezuela, Myanmar, Mexico, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Ukraine and Palestine. Get upset at your president, your senator, your representative, your governor, your state leader, your mayor and your local junk food media for bowing to the evil regime of Israel.
Could you name one damn thing Israel's done for the United States?
The Israeli government through its proxies are trying to sway American lawmakers into criminalizing criticism of its actions to antisemitism.
Israel's latest excuses to justify the genocide:
They claimed that Hamas wants to kill as many Jews as possible.
They claim that Hamas has underground tunnels under schools, hospitals and refugee camps.
They claim that Hamas was planning on building a dirty bomb.
They claim that Hamas are using civilians as human shields.
They claim that Hamas is ISIS.
They claim that Hamas had a copy of Mein Kampf inside a base in a children's bedroom.
They claim that Hamas was beheading 40 babies.
They claim that Hamas misfired a rocket at a hospital.
They claim that Hamas wants a regional war.
They claim that Hamas had top secret plans to attack the U.S. and Great Britain.
They claim that Hamas has a calendar that showed the shifts of who was watching the hostages.
They claim that Hamas shot female soliders in the buttocks and breasts.
They claim that Hamas shot dead a civilian and raped the victim's corpse,
They claim that Hamas has placed explosive devices on corpses.
They claim that Hamas has infiltrated college campuses in the U.S. and Great Britain.
They claim that Hamas support from individuals amounts to being a terrorist sympathizer.
Hamas is not raping women and there is no proof they done such a horrible act. It is part of the dehumanizing campaign Israel is promoting to influencers in the West. You see it when they are constantly deflecting from the images of Gaza being destroyed by American and European sponsored Israeli weapons. In their minds, they are justifying the brutal slaughter of children, men, women, journalists and doctors as collateral damage.
Hamas stated the reasons for the attack on occupation forces. It has nothing to do with the Jewish religion or Iran.
Biden, Donald J. Trump, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Republicans, Democrats and the American junk food media are on the wrong side of history. Israel will be a 2024 issue. Once this pass, I get the feeling that Biden will be the last U.S. president to support Israel.
Presidents after Biden (hopefully Trump never wins a second presidency) will come to realize that Israel was the bad guy all along.
Israel is a neo fascist country. They are masquerading as a legitimate democracy when its prime minister and his far right coalition are trying to eliminate the federal courts, outlaw integration, outlaw non white Jews, non white immigrants, make it a religious theocracy and brutally eliminate the other. They are trying to destroy democracy and wipe out the Palestinians who live in Gaza Strip, West Bank, East Jerusalem and Golan Heights.
We may think its China Russia and Iran interfering in our elections but in reality it's actually one. Israel is definitely involved in this. They are meddling in our elections too.
Just to make sure you don't forget. Donald J. Trump supports Israel, global wars and TikTok bans too. It was because of TikTok mocking him, Israel and the coronavirus challenges like licking a toilet seat.
From theRiver to the Sea, Palestine will be Free! 🇵🇸 🍉
Cry more!
Israel for way too long has manipulated me with this endless victimhood. All the while pushing for an ethno-nationalist state, Israeli government leaders [both left and right] have called for the eradication of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and West Bank.
The operatives have operated with shell agencies like the American Israel Public Affairs Committee and the Anti-Defamation League. These organizations operated at the behest of Israel.
Israel has fanned outrage over octopuses, buttons, protests at synagogues, protests at Holocaust museums, sleep ins at college campuses, comparing Zionism to Nazism, blocking roads, blocking bridges, wearing a keffiyeh, posting on TikTok, boycotting companies that do business with Israel and calling for international sanctions. Now Israel is outraged over the slightest suggestion of regime change and it comes from the biggest U.S. Zionists like Biden, Trump, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi.
Israel keeps calling it an attack on Jewish people and it amounts to antisemitic propaganda.
Holding these lawmakers accountable is not just a pledge, but a promise. You need to learn who represents your community. Your local community member, your school board member, your mayor, your state representative, your state senator, your governor, your U.S. Representative, your U.S. Senator and the president need to be held accountable for their actions.
We need to put pressure on Republicans and Democrats to do something to improve everyone's lives.
Keep pressure on them with Israel.
Israel must be held accountable for war crimes and the U.S. must end its aid. Our taxpayer money should not help Israel any further.
Biden is doing the very mistakes Trump made. He is not reading the optics.
They are feeling it. Democrats know the risk of supporters being turned off by their policies. They know that Biden is under extreme pressure to do something. Arab Americans, Muslim and young voters have vowed to never back Biden putting his reelection chances in danger.
Not one penny will go to Biden, Democrats, Trump and Republicans.
The call number to the White House and U.S. Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official White House numbers 202-456-1111 and 202-456-1414. This is the Congress official phone number, 202-224-3121. Please be respectful to operators, staff members and elected leaders. Your calls are monitored by the U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Capitol Police.
Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence. Let them know that you are tired of your taxpayer money going to foreign nations like Israel. Let them know this law on TikTok is a ban on free speech. You are tired of hearing about "Israel having a right to..." and the bogus claims of being anti-semitic or in support of terrorism.
We have bigger issues at home and our tax dollars should solve the housing crisis, lowering food prices, fixing roads, bridges, helping reinvest in struggling urban and rural communities. We have hospitals closing, big box retailers leaving communities and television programs dying. There are bigger issues in the country than Israel. You want an immediate ceasefire and accountability for war crimes done by Israel. You want no more foreign influence in American elections. You also want to make sure future presidents and lawmakers avoid influence from lobbyists.
If anyone trolls you about condemning Hamas for Oct. 7, 2023, kindly ignore them or respectfully tell them that Israel has committed an illegal occupation of Gaza, East Jerusalem, Golan Heights and the West Bank. They shoot innocent civilians and indiscriminately bomb heavily populated areas in Gaza and the West Bank.
Will you condemn the actions of Israel if I have to condemn Russia, Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas?
If you're upset over protests, why are you not upset over the treatment of innocent people being killed by Israel?
If you're upset over TikTok being a danger, why are you not upset over X, Instagram, Facebook, Rumble, Threads, YouTube and Truth Social?
Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) defeated an AIPAC Democrat.
The Squad is no longer playing games with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
The progressives declared war on the dark money foreign lobby group. After it was announced that AIPAC has launched a $100 million campaign to oust Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO), Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA), Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL) and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), the Squad decided to fight back.
AIPAC has been active in supporting lawmakers who keep pumping billions of our tax dollars into Israel.
Ohio's 15 lawmakers voted to fund Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan and ban TikTok. The 11 Republicans and 5 Democrats
Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) voted to ban TikTok. Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) voted against the TikTok ban because he is opposed to funding Ukraine. Had it been TikTok only, definite yes on the matter. Ohio has 17 electoral votes. All the members and Senators embraced AIPAC.
Former president Donald J. Trump carried the state in 2016 and 2020. He is expected to carry it again.
Our neighbor to the east, Pennsylvania has 19 electoral votes. The state has 9 Democrats and 8 Republicans. Only 13 members of the state are endorsed by AIPAC. It has two Democratic senators. Both of them also are embracing AIPAC.
Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) and Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) voted to ban TikTok.
Trump carried Pennsylvania in 2016. He lost it in 2020. He hopes to achieve that goal again.
AIPAC blessed these lawmakers with donations and a shield. Those who didn't bow to the Israeli lobby were targets.
Summer Lee was no exception.
Lee, a freshman lawmaker faced a primary challenger who was backed by AIPAC.
Bhavini Patel was backed by Democratic Majority for Israel, an AIPAC-backed lobbying group. Her loss shows that Democrats disapprove of Biden's stance on Israel.
Bhavini Patel, a Democrat who is progressive but a staunch supporter of Israel was defeated in a primary that would have determined whether the Zionist propaganda was effective.
Lee not only far outperformed her lone challenger across the District, but she was also on track to far surpass her own win in the primary two years ago.
The Associated Press called the race for Lee at 9:21 p.m. ET, when she led Edgewood Borough Councilmember Bhavini Patel, 59% to 41%, with more than half of the vote reporting.
Lee was ahead in both vote-rich Allegheny County, which includes Pittsburgh, and in Westmoreland County, where she was trounced in the 2022 primary. At the time the race was called, Lee was also ahead in both counties among votes cast by mail as well as those cast on Election Day. Two years ago in Allegheny, Lee lost decisively among votes cast by mail but managed to carry the county overall on the strength of her performance among Election Day votes.
The 12th District votes reliably Democratic in general elections, but the ongoing protests over the Israel-Hamas war have placed the primary contest in a national spotlight. Lee has accused Israel of “war crimes” in Gaza and was an early proponent of a cease-fire. She was also supportive of a campaign to vote “uncommitted” in Democratic presidential primaries to send a message to President Joe Biden over the war.
Lee narrowly defeated attorney Steve Irwin in the 2022 Democratic primary, 41.9% to 41.0%. She led Irwin in Allegheny County by less than 5,000 votes, a margin of about 4.5 percentage points. Irwin dominated in Westmoreland County, with 56% of the vote compared to 24% for Lee. But Westmoreland makes up only about 10% of the vote in the 12th District.
Lee’s victory Tuesday as well as her 2022 primary victory were both powered by her strong performance in Pittsburgh, where she was far ahead of Patel, 62% to 38%, at the time the AP called the winner. Two years ago, Lee bested Irwin in Pittsburgh, 54% to 31%.
Lee will face Republican James Hayes in November. She defeated her Republican opponent in 2022, 56% to 44%. Voters in the 12th District gave Democrat Hillary Clinton 57% of the vote in the 2016 presidential election and President Joe Biden 59% of the vote in 2020.
By the way, I would still back Rep. Shontel Brown (D-OH) over Nina Turner if they ever face off again. Despite Brown being in the pocket of the Israeli lobby, she isn't the left's version of Majorie Taylor Greene.
More felonies for Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows and John Eastman.
The legal woes continue for former president Donald J. Trump and his allies. Fresh off of his calling Columbia University protesters, anti-semitic terrorist sympathizers, former New York mayor and former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani along with Jenna Ellis, Boris Epshteyn, former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, former Trump attorney Christina Bobb, John Eastman and former campaign aide Mike Roman.
These individuals were involved in trying to encourage then Republican governor Doug Ducey to certify electors who weren't legitimate. Joe Biden won Arizona and legally was obligated to have the electoral votes in certification.
About 18 were indicted. The indictment released Wednesday names 11 Republicans who submitted a document to Congress falsely declaring that Trump won Arizona in 2020, including the former state party chair, a 2022 U.S. Senate candidate and two sitting state lawmakers. They’re charged with nine counts each of conspiracy, fraud and forgery. The identities of seven other defendants, including Giuliani and Meadows, were not immediately released because they had not yet been served with the charges.
Trump, who is described in the indictment as an unindicted co-conspirator, has argued that he can’t be prosecuted for acts he committed while serving as president. The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday will hear arguments on his bid to avoid federal prosecution over his efforts to reverse his loss.
With the indictments, Arizona becomes the fourth state where allies of the former president have been charged with using false or unproven claims about voter fraud related to the election. Heading into a likely November rematch with Biden, Trump continues to spread lies about the last election that are echoed by many of his supporters.
“I will not allow American democracy to be undermined,” Democratic state Attorney General Kris Mayes said in a video released by her office. “It’s too important.
The Associated Press was able to determine the identities of the unnamed defendants based on their descriptions in the document.
One is an attorney “who was often identified as the Mayor” and spread false allegations of election fraud, which clearly describes Giuliani. Another is Trump’s “ chief of staff in 2020,” which describes Meadows.
Christina Bobb, a former Trump lawyer turned conspiracy theorist was indicted.
Descriptions of other unnamed defendants point to Mike Roman, who was Trump’s director of Election Day operations; John Eastman, a lawyer who devised a strategy to try to persuade Congress not to certify the election; and Christina Bobb, a lawyer who worked with Giuliani. Eastman and Bobb did not respond to text messages seeking comment, nor did a lawyer who is representing Roman in a case in Georgia.
George Terwilliger, a lawyer representing Meadows, said he had not yet seen the indictment but if Meadows is named, “it is a blatantly political and politicized accusation and will be contested and defeated.” Giuliani’s political adviser, Ted Goodman, decried what he called “the continued weaponization of our justice system.”
The 11 people who had been nominated to be Arizona’s Republican electors met in Phoenix on Dec. 14, 2020, to sign a certificate saying they were “duly elected and qualified” electors and claiming that Trump carried the state. A one-minute video of the signing ceremony was posted on social media by the Arizona Republican Party at the time. The document was later sent to Congress and the National Archives, where it was ignored.
Biden won Arizona by more than 10,000 votes. Of the eight lawsuits that unsuccessfully challenged Biden’s victory in the state, one was filed by the 11 Republicans who would later sign the certificate declaring Trump as the winner.
Their lawsuit asked a judge to de-certify the results that gave Biden his victory in Arizona and block the state from sending them to the Electoral College. In dismissing the case, U.S. District Judge Diane Humetewa said the Republicans lacked legal standing, waited too long to bring their case and “failed to provide the court with factual support for their extraordinary claims.”
Days after that lawsuit was dismissed, the 11 Republicans participated in the certificate signing.
The Arizona charges come after a string of indictments against fake electors in other states.
In December, a Nevada grand jury indicted six Republicans on felony charges of offering a false instrument for filing and uttering a forged instrument in connection with false election certificates. They have pleaded not guilty.
Michigan’s Attorney General in July filed felony charges that included forgery and conspiracy to commit election forgery against 16 Republican fake electors. One had charges dropped after reaching a cooperation deal, and the 15 remaining defendants have pleaded not guilty.
Far right agitator Jenna Ellis sobs as she pleads guilty in Georgia. She got more problems facing her with the indictment in Arizona.
Three fake electors also have been charged in Georgia alongside Trump and others in a sweeping indictment accusing them of participating in a wide-ranging scheme to illegally overturn the results. They have pleaded not guilty.
In Wisconsin, 10 Republicans who posed as electors settled a civil lawsuit, admitting their actions were part of an effort to overturn Biden’s victory. There is no known criminal investigation in Wisconsin.
Trump also was indicted in August in federal court over the fake electors scheme. The indictment states that when Trump was unable to persuade state officials to illegally swing the election, he and his Republican allies began recruiting a slate of fake electors in battleground states — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, New Mexico, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — to sign certificates falsely stating he, not Biden, had won their states.
Arizona gadfly Kelli Ward indicted too.
In early January, New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez said that state’s five Republican electors cannot be prosecuted under the current law. In New Mexico and Pennsylvania, fake electors added a caveat saying the election certificate was submitted in case they were later recognized as duly elected, qualified electors. No charges have been filed in Pennsylvania.
In Arizona, Mayes’ predecessor, Republican Mark Brnovich, conducted an investigation of the 2020 election, but the fake elector allegations were not part of that examination, according to Mayes’ office.
In another election-related case brought by Mayes’ office, two Republican officials in a rural Arizona county who delayed canvassing the 2022 general election results face felony charges. A grand jury indicted Cochise County Supervisors Peggy Judd and Tom Crosby in November on one count each of conspiracy and interference with an election officer. Both pleaded not guilty.
The Republicans facing charges are Kelli Ward, the state GOP’s chair from 2019 until early 2023; state Sen. Jake Hoffman; Tyler Bowyer, an executive of the conservative youth organization Turning Point USA who serves on the Republican National Committee; state Sen. Anthony Kern, who was photographed in restricted areas outside the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 attack and is now a candidate in Arizona’s 8th Congressional District; Greg Safsten, a former executive director of the Arizona Republican Party; energy industry executive James Lamon, who lost a 2022 Republican primary for a U.S. Senate seat; Robert Montgomery, chairman of the Cochise County Republican Committee in 2020; Samuel Moorhead, a Republican precinct committee member in Gila County; Nancy Cottle, who in 2020 was the first vice president of the Arizona Federation of Republican Women; Loraine Pellegrino, past president of the Ahwatukee Republican Women; and Michael Ward, an osteopathic physician who is married to Kelli Ward.
In a statement, Hoffman accused Mayes of weaponizing the attorney general’s office in bringing the case but didn’t directly comment on the indictment’s allegations.
“Let me be unequivocal, I am innocent of any crime, I will vigorously defend myself, and I look forward to the day when I am vindicated of this naked political persecution by the judicial process,” Hoffman said.
None of the others responded to either phone, email or social media messages from The Associated Press seeking comment.
