All the Democrats do is bribe.  What the heck do you call Medicare for all, free buses, colleges, childcare and a basic income to live as you wish? Oh, and how about reparations?</p><p>Never, ever should a Democrat use the word bribe against anyone after all the fraud that has been found in blue states, and the investigations are not over yet.  Bribes are how the left works, and it is part of their being.  I&#8217;m not sure how they got there, but they did, and I believe Nancy Pelosi is the root cause.  She left America once power became her only interest.  I mean, who tears up a President&#8217;s State of the Union Speech? She did, and the media was silent. That was disgusting, unbecoming, and she got away with it.  We can never forget.  All IMO.</p><p><a href="https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2026/09/10/dem-rep-kamlager-dove-5k-dividend-a-bribe-i-want-to-investigate-and-we-could-afford-it-if-we-didnt-pass-big-beautiful-bill/">https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2026/09/10/dem-rep-kamlager-dove-5k-dividend-a-bribe-i-want-to-investigate-and-we-could-afford-it-if-we-didnt-pass-big-beautiful-bill/</a></p><p><span>&#8220;Kamlager-Dove said, &#8220;Well, you say idea. I say bribe. It sounds really fishy. I would love to bring the administration before House Judiciary when we win in November and ask them about this bribery scheme that they have going on. I will say, at least the president, even though he won&#8217;t admit it, understands that people are hurting, people are hurting with the gas, with the groceries, with the housing, and with the healthcare. I wish he would have talked more about the affordability crisis, rather than calling it fake and really acknowledged the fact that people are dealing with economic pain in their pocketbooks right now, and they want a vision for the future that they can afford. He certainly didn&#8217;t talk about that.&#8221;</span></p><p><span>She continued, &#8220;And we would actually have the money to give to families if we were not giving tax cuts to the richest of the rich while cutting everyone else&#8217;s healthcare.

back to make a point.  The point is that it is not all about the woman, as they want you to believe.  They don&#8217;t have the right to kill; nobody does.  We have lost all respect for life, and it shows.  We have kids killing kids and smiling as they get arrested.  Life means nothing, and women have a lot to do with it.</p><p>They took limited and restricted abortion to abortion on demand, and we are now seeing the consequences.  Now we have abortion on demand, and women are fighting to allow death up to and immediately after abortion.  Have any of these women held a replica of a baby during the final stages?  Probably not, but they should.  Have any of these women poked a baby in the head to suck out the brains before pulling out the dead body?</p><p>Women are responsible for this lack of humanity, and it has spread to our kids and others who now don&#8217;t respect life.  Science should define life, but they won&#8217;t for political reasons.  Wow, I thought science was science, but only when it meets the demands of the woke.  Hell, we have a SCOTUS member who said she can&#8217;t define a woman.  Where are the biologists?  So women are not defined; therefore, what are they?  Somebody needs to define a woman, but who?</p><p>I apologize; I went off a bit, but this subject bothers me. I get riled up by stupidity, and abortion on demand is just that.  We have science, and women can protect themselves easily or force the man to.  It is a choice not to protect, as well as to abort a baby.  Get what I&#8217;m saying? It is acceptable for these women to kill a baby that another woman might hold in their arms.  Disgusting, and this is not a woman's right just because they are the vessel of life. </p><p>I don&#8217;t agree with abortion, but I accept the limited abortion approach. But, like everything from progressives, it is one step at a time to get to their goal and for abortion, they basically won and still want more.  What&#8217;s next?  Assisted suicide.  It is already in practice in various nations.  I hope I didn&#8217;t offend anyone.  All IMO. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

The only question is whether he becomes an Independent or makes the big jump to the GOP.  I hope he joins the GOP, but we will see.  John will need campaign funding either way, which may very well push him to the GOP.  If he goes Independent and caucuses with the left, he most likely won't get funding or support from Democrats.  In fact, John may be challenged by another Democrat, most likely from the DSA.  But if he goes to the GOP or caucuses with them, he will receive support.   </p><p>John is a real common-sense Democrat, so whatever he does will not be easy for him, but his party is already trying to destroy him, so why stay and take the abuse?  It will be interesting to see the attacks from Democrats and the media later today.

Three days after El-Sayed eked out a one-point victory over Haley Stevens in the Democratic primary, on August 7, Algizawi described the win as a &#8220;very big victory for the Muslims, Hamdillah, and for the Ummah, and for the Islamic nation.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;Right now, the community has to change their minds, this is an obligation,&#8221; Algizawi said in a <a href="https://www.memri.org/tv/abdelhamid-algizawi-abdul-el-sayed-ann-arbor-michigan-muslim-victory">video</a> captured by the Middle East Media Research Institute. &#8220;When we have a Muslim Senator or a Muslim, you know, in office, any office or any post for the Muslim, this can work for goodness, this can change the society.&#8221; He said it is incumbent on Muslims to cast their ballots for El-Sayed in November and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qs-eUrk9M6M&amp;t=1752s">recounted with dismay</a> last month that his own daughter said she wouldn&#8217;t vote for a Muslim &#8220;running for Senate&#8221; because &#8220;he&#8217;s working against women.&#8221;</p><p>Unlike Jews and some Christians, most Muslims do not formally join a mosque in order to attend prayer services there, and many pray at several different mosques. But El-Sayed typically prays at the MCA of Ann Arbor, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.</p><p>Algizawi&#8217;s sermons are littered with inflammatory remarks about gays and homosexuality, bemoaning its prevalence in America and arguing that it is incumbent upon Muslims to reject it because &#8220;it cannot bring stability to life&#8221; and &#8220;people cannot give children from this relationship. You understand?&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;Here in America&#8212;in America, there is, you know, it became a fashion these days: homosexuality and LGBTQ and something like that becomes a fashion everywhere. And even this has reached the Muslim community, and people ask what the [sic] Islamic stand on that &#8230; Islam as a religion refuse,&#8221; Algizawi <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNyuoP9RZic&amp;t=2470s">said in 2022 remarks</a> at a Sacramento-area Islamic center. &#8220;Why? Because there is purposes for marriage &#8230; This relationship cannot bring stability to your life &#8230; We are looking for children when we get married. People cannot give children from this relationship. You understand?&#8221;</p><p>He continued: &#8220;So this is against human nature, by the way. Also, Muslims cannot compromise their religion. We cannot say: &#8216;Hey, because I am a Muslim, I&#8217;m American, we are living in America, we have&#8230;&#8217; No, we cannot compromise our religion.&#8221;</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[A WOMEN’S BAR IN PORTLAND KICK OUT REAL WOMEN WEARING XX/XY SHIRTS AND STATES, “TO BE CLEAR: TRANS GIRLS ARE GIRLS AND TRANS WOMEN ARE WOMEN.]]></title><description><![CDATA[UNBELIEVABLE - WHERE ARE THE WOMEN&#8217;S GROUPS?

But then this is what the progressives sell: lies in various fashions, such as free health care, rent and food.  And what do you have to do to get all these benefits? Nothing at all. Socialists from the DSA have openly stated what they stand for, yet the Democrats stay silent or tap dance around having a big tent that includes communists.  </p><p>The Democratic Party exists no more until they close their tent to the nutjobs who want to throw our Constitution in the trash.  I hope people understand that, but most of our kids today are clueless about our history and can&#8217;t spell &#8220;Constitution.&#8221;  All IMO.</p><p><a href="https://www.nysun.com/article/mamdani-has-it-wrong-when-he-says-america-spends-more-on-bombs-than-welfare">https://www.nysun.com/article/mamdani-has-it-wrong-when-he-says-america-spends-more-on-bombs-than-welfare</a></p><p><span>&#8220;The other day, Mayor Zohran Mamdani told Qatari state press that the United States was &#8220;spending tens of billions of dollars on killing people&#8221; when that money &#8220;could have been used to make life easier&#8221; for the public. &#8220;There always seems to be money for war,&#8221; he went on, &#8220;but not to feed the poor.&#8221;</span></p><p><span>America, in reality, spends immense amounts of money feeding and taking care of the poor &#8212; far more than it does on war.</span></p><p><span>Yet, if you listened to the left, you&#8217;d think military spending was driving the debt and squeezing the poor. National defense comprises around 13 percent of the federal budget, far less than the primary drivers of debt, Social Security and Medicare.</span></p><p><span>We spend less on the military than we do paying down the interest on our immense $40 trillion national debt.</span></p><p><span>The federal government spends around $1.3 trillion each year on means-tested welfare and &#8220;anti-poverty&#8221; programs. That&#8217;s more than the national budget of Germany.</span></p><p><span>There are somewhere in the vicinity of 80 individual federal programs providing aid to the poor. More than 36 million people in America receive food stamps, for instance, which is around 11 percent of the population.</span></p><p><span>Around 100 million Americans receive some form of government assistance. Virtually none of them pay federal individual income tax.</span></p><p><span>None of this accounts for local programs. More than 23 percent of an average state&#8217;s expenditures go to welfare, which is not only more than they spend on public schools but far more than they spend on police, hospitals and roads combined.</span></p><p><span>Then there are city government programs. At Mr. Mamdani&#8217;s New York, a record $2.71 billion in direct welfare cash assistance payments were sent out in 2025, a 70 percent spike from 2022. New York City also spent $14.63 billion on social programs for the poor. It spends less than half on the police.&#8221;</span></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[TRUTH IN HUMOR]]></title><description><![CDATA[SOURCE: CARTOONIST MICHAEL

We tried and tried and tried to hire Americans, but could not find many who were technically qualified because our Education system is way behind the times, working on DEI, CRT, and other BS stuff that should not be the primary focus.</p><p>I know for a fact that countries like India teach specifically what is needed for a tech job, with little on the humanities and other stuff that won&#8217;t get one a job.  They focus on the skills in demand in the U.S., so people can get employed and maybe, long-term, become citizens.  The fields were all tech-oriented, filling gaps Americans couldn't fill.  It worked, and that is why technical organizations are full of H-1B Visa holders.</p><p>Basically, a person doesn&#8217;t need a college degree to be a high-paid technical worker.  All they need is specific technical classes with hands-on training.  And many companies provide these courses, but Americans aren&#8217;t taking them, at least not in the past.</p><p>We have awakened when it comes to jobs necessary for the rollout of data centers across the nation that will require many workers, but workers of the earth, not someone who sits in an office, as I did for many years.  Courses are now being offered for electricians, with the ability to outdo most college graduates in pay and no major debt from loans to enter the labor market.  The future will be the workers of the trades that AI can&#8217;t replace yet, and soon you will have plumbers, electricians, and carpenters in suits &#128578; All IMO.    </p><p><a href="https://townhall.com/news/josephchalfant/2026/09/08/department-of-labor-launches-investigation-into-tech-companys-h-1b-visas-n2682656">https://townhall.com/news/josephchalfant/2026/09/08/department-of-labor-launches-investigation-into-tech-companys-h-1b-visas-n2682656</a></p><p>&#8220;The Department of Labor has announced that it has suspended the ability of the tech-giant Cognizant to submit <strong><a href="https://townhall.com/news/josephchalfant/2026/08/09/these-new-regulations-could-take-on-permanent-temporary-foreign-workers-n2680940">H-1B visa applications</a></strong> and will launch an investigation into the company for alleged abuses of the immigration system.</p><p>The Department of Labor&#8217;s Inspector General, Anthony D&#8217;Esposito, stated on social media that &#8220;handcuffs await&#8221; to those who commit fraud that threatens the American worker and revealed that their Program Electronic Review Management for visa applications had been suspended.</p><p>The suspension will only apply to new or pending applications submitted by the company. Any current employees who are operating in the U.S. with temporary work status or those who have had applications accepted by the Department of Labor will be able to continue in their job function.</p><p>Cognizant was not the only company to come under sweeping fraud investigations from the Department of Labor.

California has fallen off the cliff, but the people keep voting these folks in and deserve what they get.  First, they pass a bill to stop investigations into fraud because they got caught allowing massive fraud as far as the eye can see.  This is crazy; it is your tax money they are stealing and passing laws to make it easier.</p><p>Now they are trying to pass a law prohibiting ICE Agents from public employment in California, and that is so stupid it is laughable.  But seriously, these folks think they are sending some sort of message, and what is that?  Fraud is ok, and Federal laws need not be followed.  What&#8217;s next - no military members allowed in the state?  Yep, they are looking stupid, a word I don&#8217;t use lightly.

Gavin Newsom could sign a bill that would make former <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/tag/immigration-customs-enforcement/">Immigration and Customs Enforcement</a> agents unemployable in the state&#8217;s public sector.</p><p>The legislation, which is called the &#8220;Get the Feds Out Act,&#8221; &#8212; or the &#8220;GTFO Act&#8221; &#8212; was passed by the California Senate at the end of August, per a <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/ice-democrats-california-gtfo-employment">report</a> from Blaze Media.</p><p>The California Assembly already voted 53 to 21 in May to advance the legislation and concurred with Senate amendments in August.</p><p>Newsom has not said whether he would sign the bill.</p><p>The bill&#8217;s legislative <a href="https://legiscan.com/CA/text/AB1896/id/3361417">findings</a> assert that since President Donald Trump started his second term, ICE agents &#8220;have committed grave, inhumane, and horrific patterns of hate, abuse, violence, and even execution.&#8221;</p><p>They also claimed ICE agents are responsible for &#8220;an indiscriminate mass terror campaign against innocent men, women, and children across the nation.&#8221;</p><p>The bill cited examples of such purported abuses, including the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, Minnesota, during altercations with
