HOW DO REPUBLICANS DEAL WITH EL SAYED? On Tuesday morning, Abdul el Sayed, buddy of Hasan Piker, DSA-adjacent, and Democratic candidate for Senate in Michigan, stepped onto a street corner in Detroit to begin a news conference. Despite all of the controversies that rage around him at any given moment, the event started precisely where any Democratic candidate should start these days — with the cost of getting around.

El Sayed was introduced by Denzel McCampbell, the DSA-endorsed councilman from Detroit’s District 7. “Right behind us you see at this gas station that gas prices are nearing $5 per gallon,” McCampbell said. “And for Michiganders that means that we are paying an average of $74 to fill a 15-gallon tank. That’s nearly $10 more than folks were paying just a week ago.”

El Sayed picked it up from there. “This really is a crisis for Michiganders, Detroiters,” he said. “Seeing that number at the gas pump is the difference between being able to afford the groceries you’re going to buy, or not. It’s the difference between being able to pay your car note or pay your rent or not.”

The price of gas, el Sayed continued, is not the whole story. “When you see that number at the gas tank, yes, that hits you, but then the other number that we all got to pay attention to is the price of diesel. Nearly $6.81 today. That is an insane price. And you may not pump diesel, but diesel pumps you, and the way that diesel pumps you is that you’ve got to pay for the price of everything that gets shipped to the places that you buy it in. So when you look at that loaf of bread or you look at that gallon milk, that loaf of bread, that gallon milk is more expensive because of the diesel that it took to get that to you, you are now paying the price of. And that operates across our entire economy.”

And then the punch line: “So we’re getting hit at the gas pump to go buy our groceries and then we’re getting hit at the grocery store for the groceries that got there — all because of an insane war that we had no business fighting in the first place….”

EXCERPT:

Sen. Jon Husted became the latest battleground Republican this week to call for a quick end to the Iran war, as panic grows over how high gas prices and President Donald Trump’s agenda could imperil the party’s chances in November.

“The war needs to come to an end as quickly as possible so that we can lower gas prices,” the Ohio senator told POLITICO, in his furthest comments yet on the matter.

Coming after Iowa Senate nominee Ashley Hinson, who broke from Trump over the war on Monday, and Michigan Senate nominee Mike Rogers, who followed suit hours later, Husted’s comments are another example of the pressure he and other Republicans are under to address prices at the pump. Several candidates are creating some distance from Trump, as voters continue to blame the president for the current economy and the Iran conflict for high costs of living.

Husted said in the interview that he still thinks Iran needs to reach a deal with Trump to end the conflict, but added: “I don’t know anybody that doesn’t want the war to come to an end.”

He has a finer line to walk with Trump in his state, and Republicans close to him say he can’t and won’t completely break with the president. Husted does not plan to support the Democratic-led war powers resolution when it comes up for a vote in the Senate this week, a spokesperson said. And Trump and Vice President JD Vance are expected to visit the state in the coming weeks to shore up his campaign and drive GOP turnout.

Democrat Texas Senate nominee James Talarico is once again attempting to rewrite the gospel, and this time it was while sitting down with Jimmy Kimmel — who claimed that they could only air it on YouTube “because of Trump.”

In the interview, he explained to Kimmel that Scripture “tells us that you can’t love God and hate other people.”

“You can’t love God and abuse the immigrant. You can’t love God and oppress the poor. You can’t love God and bully the outcast,” he began.

“Matthew 25 tells us Christians exactly how we’re going to be judged and how we’re going to be saved: by feeding the hungry, by healing the sick, by welcoming the stranger,” he said. “I often wonder: What would Jesus do if he visited the U.S. Senate?”

“I think he would tell the senators on the floor, ‘Depart from me, for I was hungry and you cut my food assistance. I was sick and you kicked me off Medicaid. I was a stranger and you deported me and my family,” he added.

BlazeTV host Pat Gray “can’t” with Talarico’s bizarre interpretation of God’s word.

“No more,” he says.

Townhall Media caught Sky McAdams, an organizing manager for Texas Majority PAC, admitting to a scheme involving paying people to influence others to vote for Democrats.

You know they desperately want Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talerico to win.

You can’t pay someone to vote for a candidate, but apparently the PAC discovered a way around the rule.

From the video:

MCADAMS: We are paying people $25 to attend a one-hour Zoom class to learn why voting is important and why the Republicans are causing all of these bad things. So it’s like a roundabout way of paying people for their votes, essentially, which is interesting.

PERSON RECORDING THE VIDEO: What’s the – what’s this called?

MCADAMS: It’s called the Paid Relational Program. I think rally Texas is the official name. You can’t pay someone to vote for someone. You can’t be like, “Here’s $25, go vote for me.” You can say, “Attend a one-hour class and you can receive $25.” And then the class just talks about the importance of…it’s a little gray.

PERSON RECORDING THE VIDEO: But right now we could use all the help we can get.

MCADAMS: If I was a Republican, I would be pissed. I would be like, “That’s shady as f**k.”

The Detroit News endorsed Republican Mike Rogers in Michigan’s U.S. Senate race on Wednesday, pointing to his experience in Congress, the military, and the FBI.

“Mike Rogers is clearly the best choice for Michigan’s U.S. Senate seat and gets our endorsement.”

The newspaper’s editorial board described Rogers as well prepared for the Senate after serving 14 years in the House, including a stint as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.

Rogers, 63, left Congress in 2015 after representing a mid-Michigan district for seven terms. He later worked in the private sector, focusing on cybersecurity. He previously served as an Army officer and an FBI agent investigating organized crime.

The editorial argued that Rogers’s background and temperament could help him quickly become an influential member of the Senate.

The newspaper was critical of his Democrat opponent, Abdul El-Sayed, saying he lacks the government and policymaking experience needed for the job.

For weeks, Republicans have accused Texas State Rep. James Talarico (D-50th District) of faking a rightward shift on transgender issues to win a statewide race. Now the public doesn’t have to take our word for it.

Why? His own pastor just confirmed it.

An undercover journalist for the Daily Wire caught Rev. Babs Miller, a “minister” at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Austin, Talarico’s longtime “church,” on hidden camera discussing exactly what we’ve suspected all along.

Talarico has drawn Republican criticism for his professed love for “trans children,” claiming that there are seven genders, and that “God is non-binary.”

Miller knows who Talarico is, and isn’t buying his attempt to rebrand himself.

“He’s getting some advice that I don’t think he should be following.” She predicted he’d drop the act the moment he’s safely in office, telling the undercover journalist, “I can guarantee you that once he gets elected, he’ll change his tune back to where he was.”

That’s the whole scam, according to the guy’s own “minister.”

El-Sayed, who is running against Republican former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI) in Michigan’s closely watched Senate race, was vice president of the university’s Muslim Students Association (MSA) when the organization protested the 2007 appearance of Walid Shoebat, Zachariah Annani, and Kamal Saleem.

The three men described themselves as former terrorists with backgrounds involving the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Muslim Brotherhood before converting to Christianity.

Students staged a walkout during their appearance, and El-Sayed celebrated the protest afterward.

“We’ve done something good today, and we need to keep that going in the future,” El-Sayed said.

If Karl Rove thought he could publicly announce that he’s voting for a Texas Democrat this November without getting some serious blowback from President Trump, he seriously miscalculated the situation.

Bush, planned to cross party lines in the Texas Railroad Commission race and vote for Democrat Jon Rosenthal over the Republican nominee, Bo French.

Rove, wrote Trump, is a RINO and “a stone cold loser” who has suffered from Trump Derangement Syndrome for the past decade. Furthermore, declared the president, Rove is “bad for the Republican Party” after being “completely wrong so often.”

Karl Rove is so bad for the Republican Party, and completely wrong so often. He suffers from a major case of Trump Derangement Syndrome primarily because, for almost 10 years, I beat back and won against so many of the people and things that he wanted and espoused. Why does FoxNews and the WSJ keep his RINO Voice alive. The guy is a stone cold loser!

Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed grew frustrated with Face the Nation guest host Weija Jiang continually asking about Hasan Piker and explained the only topics people were interested in during his his four Michigan events were grocery prices, high doctor costs and the quality of air and water, not a Twitch streamer.

The only attack Republicans have on El-Sayed is being interviewed by Piker, and they know the media is only too willing to promote their memes.

JIANG: Well, there are Jewish voters in your state who are concerned about your relationship with Piker. You have condemned anti-Semitism, but not called out his rhetoric directly. Why not?

El-Sayed: Weijia, with all due respect, this is the third time you’ve asked about a Twitch streamer in California.

I’ve done four events in Michigan this week. You know what didn’t come up? Twitch streamers in California.

You know what did come up? Grocery prices. The fact that people can’t see a doctor. The worry that they have about the quality of air and water.

I’m not interested in having a conversation about streamers in California because they are not raising the prices of gas and groceries.

I’m more interested in having a conversation about tariff policies and trade wars we shouldn’t be fighting.

About hot wars with Iran.

About AI, which I know we were supposed to talk about right now.

So let’s actually talk about the issues that are affecting people instead of getting distracted by whatever the president says we should be talking about.

Their whole game is to make us fight culture war so that we don’t pay attention to the fact that the president has made $2.2 billion.

His family has made even more. How about your family in Michigan? How about your ability to afford the basic things?

How about the ability to believe that you could see a doctor without having to potentially fall into medical debt?

Those are the conversations that people are having. Those are the conversations I want to have.

So yeah, I’m not all that interested in having a conversation about a Twitch streamer, forgive me, when people can’t afford their gas and their groceries.

James Talarico has no shortage of foolish clips. From claiming God is nonbinary to claiming there are six genders, the man really would do himself a lot of favors if he just stopped talking. Nonetheless, the internet continues to prove just how unqualified this man is to serve the great people of Texas.

According to James Talarico, we are all just “big Kindergartners” and we should run “our world like we run a kindergarten classroom.” It is unclear what he means by this but we can be certain it is no less foolish than his previous asinine takes.

To call this bizarre would be an understatement. But are you surprised? This is coming from the same man who once voted to accuse some parents of abuse if they refused to affirm their kids’ gender transitions.

Yes, he really is that evil. And the worst part is that he thinks he can now lie his way out of accountability.

Carlson’s Friday newsletter said El-Sayed “did not celebrate airplane hijackings or cheerlead Al-Qaeda.” He said the Democrat merely objected to how America answered the attacks.

El-Sayed’s 2021 line was that 9/11 “scarred our country in profound ways, but what we did after 9/11 scarred millions of other people.” He added that Americans “often fail to center them.”

Republican candidate Mike Rogers called that attitude disqualifying. Carlson called Rogers the problem.

Talarico revealed the news in a profile piece published by Texas Monthly in January of this year, saying that the visit was a “solidarity thing” following growing “vitriol and distrust” of the Muslim community in the United States. Talarico’s mother, who is deeply involved in Democrat politics in Texas and holds a joint bank account with her son, led the trip and brought along Talarico’s sister and two best friends.

Since that fateful trip, Islam has become a centerpiece in Talarico’s faith and political life. In 2021, Talarico filed a bill to allow Imams to perform weddings in the state of Texas. One year later, an Imam was invited to deliver a sermon at Talarico’s notorious St. Andrews Presbyterian Church. The church, which is considered to be extremely politically-active, is credited as the place where he learned to “see politics as a way of loving your neighbor.”

EXCERPT:

The political establishment has carried the day in the Senate primary elections in New Hampshire.

U.S. Rep. Chris Pappas (D-N.H.) won the Democratic nomination on Tuesday to succeed three-term Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, while former Sen. John Sununu captured the Republican nomination, setting up an open-seat general election critical to both parties’ hopes of running the Senate.

‘I’m New Hampshire.’

With nearly 88% of the expected vote counted, establishment favorite Pappas crushed socialist Karishma Manzur 65% to 33%, with the remaining Democrat vote split among David Jarvis, Maxwell Saal, and John Vail.

Sununu faced a challenge from former Massachusetts senator and Trump administration alum Scott Brown, but ultimately beat him 68.5% to 26.7%. Several other Republicans finished in the distant single digits.

New Hampshire has not elected a Republican senator since 2010, but August University of New Hampshire polling shows Sununu leading Pappas 45% to 43%.

“We’re taking nothing for granted, this is a purple state,” Pappas told MS NOW. “We’ve got a path to victory. But it’s going to be a tough race.”

Former Vice President Kamala Harris carried the Granite State by just three points in 2024, with all 10 counties shifting right since 2020.

Pappas has represented New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District since 2019 and served on the state’s Executive Council from 2013 to 2019. He is co-owner of his family’s Puritan Backroom restaurant. Pappas received endorsements from Sens. Shaheen and Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) and Kamala Harris.

Pappas raised over $15 million during the primary campaign, dwarfing Manzur’s $415,081. Manzur tacked far to Pappas’ left, repeatedly accusing him of being a pro-Israel stooge and corporate cut-out.

“Chris Pappas’ hypocrisy is evident. He talks about getting big money out of politics, then turns around and takes bribes from special interests,” a Manzur campaign spokesperson previously told Blaze News. “He talks about standing up to Netanyahu, yet he has voted to send billions of our tax dollars to support Netanyahu’s war.”

On the Republican side, Sununu served in the House from 1997 to 2003 and the Senate from 2003 to 2009. His father and brother were both governors of New Hampshire.

“I’m New Hampshire. I said in my campaign announcement that I’ll have one job: standing up for New Hampshire every single day,” Sununu told the Dartmouth when asked about his primary challenger Scott Brown. “I’m not focused on another office or currying favor with anyone outside this state.

Brown previously served as senator from 2010 to 2013 after winning the special election prompted by the death of Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.). Brown supported Trump in 2016, netting him an ambassadorship to New Zealand and Samoa.

Sununu received President Donald Trump’s endorsement despite authoring a 2024 op-ed titled “Donald Trump is a loser” in support of Nikki Haley’s 2024 presidential campaign. Sununu later walked back the barb by saying the publication Union Leader chose the headline.

A UNH poll headed into Primary Election Day showed Sununu leading Brown 60% to 20%.

Sometimes the GOP establishment is fairly crafty at hiding its disdain for voters. Other times, not so much.

Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., took a break from making folksy quips to let the mask slip during a Sunday interview about Texas’ Senate race between Republican Ken Paxton and Democrat James Talarico. While often unpredictable in its accuracy, public polling has shown the race to be one of the most contested in the country.

Yet, despite the race’s apparent closeness and major fundraising disparities between the two candidates, the milquetoast Kennedy wouldn’t commit to the Senate GOP deploying money to aid Paxton’s election. He said that the Senate GOP’s campaign arm simply doesn’t have the money to spend in Texas (after pouring millions into the state primary alongside other establishment forces to try and save incumbent Sen. John Cornyn).

“There’s no sense bubble wrapping it — we’ve got a race in Texas. … [Paxton] is going to have to point out the deficiencies of Mr. Talarico. … [But] you can’t win an election by saying the other guy’s worse than me. Money is an issue,” Kennedy said. “We in the Senate don’t have the money budgeted for Texas. We need help from the president. The president says he has $850 million in his campaign accounts. That’s a lot of jack.”

Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed may have hurt himself in his campaign with his demeaning comments toward Second Lady Usha Vance, according to a new report.

El-Sayed, a darling of the far left who is seeking Michigan’s open Senate seat, trashed Usha Vance after her husband, Vice President J.D. Vance, slammed El-Sayed for saying opposition to Sharia law was based on white supremacy, as noted by Newsmax.

“I’d love to go back in time and tell my papaw that there’s a man who claims to stand for working people who says not only should we have Sharia law, but if you criticize it, you’re a white supremacist,” Vance said, using his nickname for his grandfather. “That’s not my papaw’s Democratic Party, my friends.”

El-Sayed had to go lower, asking on social media, “So do we think J.D. is taking Usha with him back in time to meet Papaw, or no…,” according to the New York Post.

The outlet said the remark threatens to alienate the progressive wunderkind’s standing among Michigan’s 130,000 Indian-Americans, as well as female voters.

Michigan is third in the nation in female voter turnout at 69 percent.

“I have to admit, I kind of laughed,” Usha Vance said when asked about El-Sayed’s comment. “They have never been anything but incredibly loving.”

Ever since Abdul El-Sayed became the Democratic Senate nominee from Michigan, the liberal media has been doing all \it can to protect him against accusations of anti-Semitism, and belittle concerns about his close relationship with radical left wing streamer Hasan Piker, who, among other outrageous statements, once said America deserved 9-11. On Sunday’s Face The Nation, CBS host Margaret Brennan’s performance was one of the most egregious examples of this.

After receiving a ‘good morning’ welcome from Brennan, Congressman John James of Michigan, who is also the GOP’s gubernatorial candidate from the state, wasted no time in getting his main point across:

JAMES: Hey, Margaret, good morning. Thank you so much for having me on. I’m really excited, because in a state like Michigan, we have the most extreme ticket running, with Abdul El Sayyed and Jocelyn Benson [MI Secretary of State and Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate] campaigning with people who said that we deserved 9/11–

BRENNAN: Okay–

JAMES: I say, never forget.

James seemed to rattle Brennan, who was apparently caught off guard, and then acted confused, as if she had never heard this issue raised before, or as if she had never heard of Piker. She also seemed to label Benson as a senate candidate, which is of course incorrect:

Oh, wow. I want to ask you about some issues with your platform and the like, but never forget, of course. I’m sorry, did you just accuse Senate candidates of something to do with terrorism? I’m not clear what you just said?

“Senate candidates?” “Something to do with terrorism?” She refused to mention both El-Sayed, or Piker, who, maybe someone should inform Brennan.

So here we go. Piker recently said that American Jews who support Israel, are responsible for bringing about acts of anti-Semitism, causing a rebuke from House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and has along history of verbally attacking Jews.

In two separate investigations, the Washington Free Beacon has exposed some questionable tactics the Democrats appear to be using to trick the electorate into thinking El-Sayed is someone he’s not. The whole mess is reminiscent of Soviet-style communist propaganda tactics.

The first involves allegations that the El-Sayed campaign paid a black pastor $82,500 to host the controversial Democrat candidate at a “clergy round table” in order to try to shore up the black vote for the campaign.

The second investigation centers on revelations that a “Soros-funded fake news site falsely identified Abdul El-Sayed as ‘Veteran’” in a mailer that was sent to voters.

On the matter of that pseudo church donation, the Free Beacon reported that when El-Sayed showed up at that “’clergy round table’ with a black Detroit pastor to whom the El-Sayed campaign has quietly paid $82,500 for ‘strategic consulting,’” he did so after realizing that black voters aren’t all that into him.

If you want to know what a “rigged” election looks like, look no further than the U.S. Senate primary race still underway in Alaska. As of this writing, the Republican incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan trails Mary Peltola, a Democrat and former member of the House, by about 5 points.

Some 30,000 votes are still uncounted, but it won’t change the fundamentals going into the November general election thanks to Alaska’s insane and fraudulent ranked-choice voting regime. In Alaska, the primary purpose of ranked-choice voting (or RCV) is to prevent conservative Republicans from winning statewide office and to keep Sen. Lisa Murkowski in Washington.

Full disclosure: I grew up in Alaska and live there now, and while I’m immensely proud to be from this great state and great land in the majestic northern marches of America, our voting system here is an embarrassment.

Ranked-choice voting, or RCV, replaced our party primary system with an open or “jungle primary” in which any resident of the state can sign up as a candidate and appear on the ballot. But we have RCV, which means after the primary the top four candidates advance to the general election, in which voters are supposed to rank their preferred candidates instead of simply choosing one.

That means you could potentially have two Republicans and one Democrat on the general election ballot, which all but guarantees the Democrat will win. And of course that’s exactly how Mary Peltola was elected in 2022. She ran in a special election to replace the late Rep. Don Young, a Republican who had held Alaska’s sole U.S. House seat for 49 years. The Republican vote split between Sarah Palin and Nick Begich (now a member of the House), and Peltola eked out a victory in the “second round” of vote-counting.

At what point are we going to stop calling James Talarico a Christian? The Apostle Paul warned young Christian leader Timothy about people like Talarico and his fellow-traveling progressive Christians:

But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. 2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, 4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.

2 Timothy 3:1-5 (ESV)

The Senate hopeful from Texas once used a heretical Gnostic “gospel” to call Jesus a feminist and preach in favor of transgenderism. He grew up in a church with squishy, unbiblical theology. He has repeatedly said that “God is nonbinary” and gushes over a “TransQueer, Latinx” activist theologian.

Talarico has been guilty of eisegesis (reading his own desired meaning into scriptural texts) time and time again. He even claimed to lefty podcaster Ezra Klein that the Bible doesn’t say you have to be a Christian to get into heaven.

If you’re a socialist running statewide in a swing state Trump won twice, the idea behind going on Fox News is to appeal to voters and con them into not thinking you’re a socialist running statewide. Michigan Senate candidate Abdul el-Sayed decided instead to create fan fiction for subreddits and BlueSky, giving an interview with Jesse Waters in which he defended genital mutilation of minors by comparing it to getting circumcised.

The interview was a train wreck in general. Newsbusters’ Jorge Bonilla, the Ayatollah of Espanola (and owner of CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan), has a full write-up. AES blaming ICE for why there are so many illegals invading America was a curious choice.

But the clip going viral is the genital mutilation one. Which, in a related note, AES also defends Sharia Law.

In another related note, I had a Literature of Africa professor tell me my views of female circumcision (I’m opposed) were “culturally biased.” It was the 90’s, so this would have been Woke 0.1.

Watters asked about el-Sayed’s plans to socialize the entire healthcare industry and put the government in charge of your health (what the streets call “Medicare for All”). Does that include the government paying for minors to get sex change operations? Hell yes it does!

DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Democrats are warning that their party’s nominee to be the next senator for Texas, James Talarico, apparently lacks the amount of support from black voters he needs to flip the traditionally Republican state.

“Listen, my home state of Texas, we feel incredibly encouraged for two reasons,” Ashley Etienne, formerly the communications director for Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, told “Meet the Press” host Kristen Welker on Sunday. “But the challenge is: the only way you win the state of Texas as a Democrat is if you overperform with Black voters.”

“I just came back from Houston last night, meeting with operatives on the ground and state elected officials. They are concerned that there’s mild enthusiasm among black voters and that this $25 million that Talarico promised he was going to spend over a month ago has yet to start to flow,” she continued.

“The investments aren’t there yet. And then you couple that with the fact that Elon Musk said he’s going to spend nearly $200 million on these races, and Texas is a huge target for that. And you’ve got a problem with black voters in Texas: you’ve got 34% of black men voting for Donald Trump. So if you’re going to wait until Labor Day to start campaigning with black voters, you’re playing to lose.”

Etienne’s warning follows that of Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett, who fell short in the March 3, 2026, Senate primary to Talarico, 52.4% to 46.2%. The lame duck congresswoman similarly questioned whether black voters are energized by his candidacy.

“I personally don’t feel like the excitement necessarily exists within the black community right now, like I don’t feel like they’re excited, right?” Crockett said on Friday’s episode of the “Front Page” podcast.

EXCERPT:

Islamic terrorism has been a problem for ages. Going back centuries, Islamic factions have engaged in behavior that fits the modern-day definition of terrorism. This predates the founding of America, and shortly after American independence, the Barbary States (Tripoli, Algiers, Tunis, Morocco) attacked and seized American ships. Envoy Thomas Jefferson and John Adams met with Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdrahaman. In a report to Secretary of State John Jay, Jefferson and Adams said, “The ambassador answered us that [the right] was founded on the Laws of the Prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have answered their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Mussulman who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise.”

So this is a problem with Islam, not America. But guess who Abdul El-Sayed blamed for current-day Islamic terrorism?

That’s right: the U.S.
