EXCERPT:

On August 24, controversial Democrat Senate candidate Abdul el-Sayed boldly accepted an invitation to the Fox News show Jesse Watters Primetime. It oozed confidence, but whether it was smart or strategic to play the Artful Dodger is a very different question.

In his newsletter, CNN media analyst Brian Stelter gushed over el-Sayed generating “lots of buzz and clippable content” and how he “showed a keen understanding of Fox’s outrage machine.” This is always amusing, as if Stelter doesn’t think CNN can be characterized as operating an “outrage machine” against Trump.

Then Stelter mischaracterized the central mishap of the interview. El-Sayed was credited for “refusing to take the bait when Watters asked whether it’s okay ‘for a parent to slash his kid’s ding-a-ling off’ or whether trans athletes should compete in women’s sports. Each time, he redirected toward gas and grocery prices, the war in Iran, and health care.”

That’s not what happened. When Watters pressed him on genital amputations for children, he insisted this decision is between a doctor and a patient, and the government should not get involved – which is a bizarre position when you’re pushing for a “Medicare for All” scheme where the government controls the health care system.

EXCERPT:

Sen. Darline Graham won South Carolina’s Republican Senate runoff Tuesday, defeating Rep. Ralph Norman and handing President Donald Trump another victory for his endorsed candidate.

The Associated Press called the race for Graham, who is seeking a full term in the seat previously held by her late brother, longtime Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham.

Graham, 62, will face Democrat Annie Andrews in November and enters the general election as the favorite in heavily Republican South Carolina. Democrats have not won a U.S. Senate race in the state since 1998.

The victory also demonstrates Trump’s continued influence among Republican primary voters. He endorsed Graham and traveled to South Carolina on Friday to campaign alongside her.

Gottheimer said, “El-Sayed’s statement totally fell short. You’re talking about a guy, Hasan Piker, who’s a — as you pointed out, he posts on Twitch and streams on Twitch, millions of followers. He is nothing more than a grifter and a hater. Although, unfortunately, many of my colleagues have decided to campaign with him.

And his statement yesterday, instead of coming out and condemning Piker, condemning his statement, saying he refuses to ever campaign with him again, he did nothing of the sort. And, to me, the fact that he leaves the window open to do more with Hasan Piker, it’s totally unacceptable. You saw, of course, Leader Hakeem Jeffries coming out strongly against Hasan Piker. I think all of my colleagues should.”

Hong Hung in Upset Loss

pgnewser August 26, 2026 0

The anti-American Communist running for Wisconsin Senate, Francesca Hong, lost her primary election to progressive David Crowley. Going into the polls, Hong was alleged to have a significant double-digit lead over Crowley. She was given a near-certain chance at winning.

Crowley narrowly beat her, and that only after a suspicious breakdown in the election process occurred. Five of the Eight USB Drives that had election information were handed in without any data. The data was then later allegedly retrieved.

EXCERPT:

Wisconsin Democrats on Tuesday disregarded the polls and narrowly rejected an avowed socialist as their nominee for governor in the Badger State’s nationally-watched primary election.

Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, who dropped out of the race late only to be coaxed back in by the so-called Democratic Party “establishment,” defeated democratic socialist Francesca Hong by razor thin margins.

Per usual, Crowley’s Milwaukee County faced a ballot count delay, a stoppage that dragged out the tally for hours and was once again blamed on “human error.” It’s another in a string of election night messes for Milwaukee, Wisconsin’s most-populated — and election integrity challenged city.

With 98.4 percent of the vote in just before 2 a.m., Crowley led by just four-tenths of a percentage point, or just over 3,000 votes. The New York Times finally called the race for Crowley just before 3 a.m. local time.

EXCERPT:

Michigan Democrats’ newly anointed Senate candidate blamed gun rights and “right-wing media” for a 2023 mass shooting at a Nashville Christian school at the hands of a mentally disturbed woman pretending to be a man.

In a now-deleted podcast in April 2023, Abdul El-Sayed claimed that the school shooting wasn’t a “trans problem” but “a gun problem.”

“After this shooting in Tennessee, right-wing media wanted to talk about the identity of the shooter who happened to identify as trans,” El-Sayed said during his opening monologue on the podcast, according to a story first reported by the Post Millennial.

The far-left Senate candidate was referring to Audrey Hale, the 28-year-old trans-identifying psychopath who stormed into the Covenant School, a Christian elementary, on March 27, 2023 and fatally shot six people, including three third-graders. She was shot and killed by a responding police officer before she could take more innocent lives.

Hale left behind a “manifesto” — multiple journals, in fact— filled with extreme leftist ideology, deranged entries laboring on her apparent white guilt and an urge to “kill all the white kids,” as well as plans laying out her deadly errand.

EXCERPT:

It’s safe to say that most Americans love dogs. The relationship between those lovable mutts and their people is like nothing else; there is no other domesticated animal that associates with us not by our choice, but theirs, the way dogs do. They are faithful companions, loyal helpers and guardians, and they love us without reservation. Whenever anyone proclaims “you can’t buy love,” it’s a safe bet they’ve never had a puppy.

In some cultures, though, our traditional love for Canis lupus familiaris isn’t shared. Which brings us to the current Democrat candidate for a Michigan Senate seat, Abdul El-Sayed, and his tenure as Detroit’s health director. During this stint, El-Sayed was responsible for, among other things, Detroit’s animal control department, and his handling of that department prompted an employee to describe it as a “dog slaughterhouse.”

El-Sayed’s campaign, of course, is touting a significant improvement in the shelter’s live-release rate.

Detroit Animal Care and Control’s (DACC) live-release rate was roughly 20% to 26% when El-Sayed inherited the operation in late 2015 but climbed to about 61% to 62% by late 2016 — an improvement his campaign points to in arguing that the raw number of animals euthanized during his tenure obscures a turnaround from the dire conditions and euthanasia rates he inherited. The Daily Mail reported that records covering the period surrounding El-Sayed’s tenure showed 4,680 dogs and cats were euthanized, with 1,056 dogs and 29 cats getting euthanized in the first full calendar year DACC was under El-Sayed’s Health Department.

EXCERPT:

Democrat U.S. Senate candidate Texas state Rep. James Talarico (D-Austin) is facing renewed scrutiny after past comments resurfaced in which he accused Republican Gov. Greg Abbott of committing “atrocities” and “hunting people” over border enforcement efforts.

The remarks, made during a 2023 podcast appearance, have resurfaced as Talarico attempts to position himself as a “border security” Democrat while seeking statewide office in Texas.

Critics argue the comments highlight a sharp contrast between Talarico’s current campaign messaging and his previous rhetoric on illegal immigration.

Talarico Compared Abbott’s Border Policies to ‘Atrocities’

Appearing on the Texas in Focus podcast in July 2023, Talarico condemned Abbott’s border security initiatives, including the use of floating barriers and razor wire designed to deter illegal crossings.

“I think Greg Abbott’s border stunts have now become atrocities,” Talarico said.

The Senate Race In Alaska Is What A Rigged Election Looks Like– thefederalist.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

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.

EXCERPT:

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.

EXCERPT:

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!

Progressive Socialists Continue to Rise

pgnewser August 26, 2026 0

The Democratic Socialists of America are becoming a problem for progressive Democrats who continue to hope nudging America towards progressivism is a better strategy than ripping the American band-aide off.

With the rise of Democratic Socialists within their own party, the Democrats are allowing Americans a clear choice between America and the Progressive state. So far, the DSA is causing some formerly strong DNC seats to become leans Democrat, but the voting population has yet to abandon these openly anti-American insurrectionist candidates.

Guess Who Abdul El-Sayed Blames for Islamic Terrorism– townhall.com
News Source
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.

EXCERPT:

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.

Participants in a poll from Peak Insights agreed, according to Politico.

With an Aug. 11 primary looming for the Republican nomination for Graham’s seat, Gowdy was far ahead of everyone else at 38 percent support.

Rep. Ralph Norman had 13 percent support while Rep. Russell Fry and Sen. Darline Graham Nordone were at 9 percent support.

EXCERPT:

Although it won’t become official until this weekend, former Maine Senate President Troy Jackson is poised to become the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate. With control of the upper chamber hanging in the balance, his past is certain to face intense scrutiny in the weeks ahead. Among the issues likely to draw attention are his past political alliances, electoral setbacks, and public persona.

According to Jackson’s campaign website, the fifth-generation logger from Allagash, is “ready to flip Maine’s Senate seat and unseat [Republican Sen.] Susan Collins once and for all.”

The site boasts that he’s “proven he can win — by 20 points — in a district carried by both Susan Collins and Donald Trump.” That may well be, but he just finished third in last month’s Democratic gubernatorial primary. What does that say about his statewide appeal?

The progressive Jackson was among disgraced former Democratic Senate nominee Graham Platner’s most enthusiastic supporters. Like Platner, Jackson backs universal health care, federal abortion rights, abolishing ICE, ending the so-called “genocide in Gaza,” and cutting off U.S. aid to Israel.

However, when rape allegations against Platner surfaced several weeks ago, Jackson called on him to withdraw from the race.

EXCERPT:

The James Talarico campaign is not going well at all. He desperately wants to be the next Senator from Texas, but he’s got Jasmine Crockett supporters yelling at him at campaign stops now, and every day Talarico is changing his positions to better appeal to Texas voters.

Now, in an interview with Just the News, Texas State Rep. Steve Toth is describing how Talarico once mocked him for having childhood dyslexia. Talarico’s despicable attack came when State Rep. Toth introduced the Beckley Wilson Act (TX HB3928). That legislation improves how public schools evaluate and teach students with dyslexia, and it’s named for then-12-year-old Beckley Wilson, who testified to the Texas House Public Education Committee about her struggles in Texas Public Schools as a student with dyslexia.

The Beckley Wilson Act was signed into law by Gov. Greg Abbott in 2023.

In his interview, Toth described Talarico’s arrival to the Texas House and his behavior.

“This is a guy that came into the House in 2019 and he was one of the most caustic—we’re going to show video of him of who he was when he first came in. He was not this congenial, nice, sweet, kind boy-next-door. He was this caustic, angry little man that came in that decided in 2025, when he came back into the Texas House, that he was going to run for the Senate,” Toth said.

While Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) maintains his lead in recent polling in Georgia’s Senate race, his gubernatorial ballot line counterpart, former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, is neck-and-neck in her race against GOP businessman Rick Jackson.

The Democrats running in Georgia’s top elections are facing quite different circumstances despite their similar statewide campaigns, recent surveys show. Ossoff’s name recognition, status as an incumbent, and fundraising abilities have boosted his candidacy in the purple state, while Bottoms battles Jackson for the large portion of undecided voters in the gubernatorial race.

Jackson edged out Bottoms by 0.5 percentage points in a recent Wick poll. The poll showed Jackson with 43.2% support from surveyed voters, compared to Bottoms’s 42.7%, with 14.1% undecided.
