Texas Congressman Jasime Crockett unleashed an unhinged anti-Trump rant during a weekend event.
Crockett joined fellow Democratic lawmakers, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-Ariz.) for the rally held by the political advocacy group to inspire voters ahead of next year’s midterm elections.
Ahead of her slam on Trump, the congresswoman said in the clip flagged by Mediaite she’s confident that a Democratic candidate will win the 2028 presidential election, and laid out the strategy the party should have to secure that victory.
“But what are we going to need to do then?” she asked. “For me, it’s getting aggressive.”
“Now listen, I’m not going to say that’s what we’re going to do, but I’m telling y’all what my vision’s [going to] be,” she continued, pointing to limiting the Supreme Court, which she called “corrupt.”
She then used the expletive against Trump but argued that it’s Congress and the high court that need to be reined in because they’re the institutions allowing him to implement his agenda.
“But in a functioning democracy, he still would not be able to get away with this. But he’s been able to get away with this because the House Republicans are complicit. He’s been able to get away with this because Senate Republicans are complicit. But most importantly, the courts, especially the Supreme Court, is complicit,” she said.
President Donald Trump hit back at Democrat lawmaker on Tuesday, calling her “a very low IQ person” during an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”
“I won the election in a landslide,” Trump said. “And obviously that’s only, you know, we’re only six months in, but my poll numbers are better now, much better than during the election. Part of that is because the Democrat Party is self-destructing. I mean, when you have low IQ, people like Crockett, I wonder if she’s any relation to the late, great Davy Crockett, who is a great, great, a great gentleman. I wonder if she’s got any relationship to Davy Crockett, the great old Davy Crockett.”
Trump said Crockett was “one of the leaders” of the Democrat Party, which he argued was “lost.”
“But you have this woman, Crockett, she’s a very low IQ person,” the president said. “Somebody said the other day she’s one of the leaders of the party. I said, you got to be kidding. Are they? The Democrats are lost. They have Trump derangement syndrome so bad that they can’t walk. They can’t talk. They don’t know where they’re going. [Senate Minority Leader Chuck] Schumer is finished. Schumer look, I watched him the other day. He’s lost all of his confidence.”
Former ABC News correspondent Terry Moran recently pulled back the curtain on his previous employer’s outright bias against Trump.
Moran, who spent nearly 28 years at ABC News, was dropped by the outlet in June after attacking President Donald Trump and White House aide Stephen Miller on social media. He now offers his commentary on Substack and penned a look at the future of CBS News after FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said incoming ownership would implement an ombudsman to “root out the bias” last week when approving a long-planned merger.
“Let’s talk about bias. I worked at ABC News for almost 28 years, and I’m proud to say that,” Moran wrote on his Substack on Tuesday. “But: Were we biased? Yes. Almost inadvertently, I’d say. ABC News has the same problem so many leading cultural institutions do in America: A lack of viewpoint diversity.”
Moran explained that ABC News was run by “White men” when he joined the network, but the Disney-owned news organization made efforts to increase diversity to change the company “for the better.”
“But there was one way ABC did not change and did not diversify. It is no secret. There are hardly any people who supported Donald Trump at ABC News,” Moran wrote.
“And this is bound to impact coverage, not so much out of malevolent bias… but more out of what is a kind of deafness,” Moran continued. “The old news divisions don’t hear many of the voices of the country, because those voices aren’t in the newsroom. Yes, news teams go out with a microphone and a camera and accost people at Trump rallies; but to me that often comes off as weirdly anthropological and inaccurate, kind of like trying to understand nature by visiting a zoo.”
Moran added that it might “sound strange” coming from someone who was shown the door for an anti-Trump outburst, but he played devil’s advocate to Trump critics inside ABC News.
“But inside the newsroom, I had a reputation of trying to get colleagues to see the other side, to walk a mile in the shoes of MAGA, to acknowledge the democratic forces that have made Donald Trump the dominant political figure of our time,” Moran wrote. “So, yes, from my perspective, the old news networks are biased.”
Moran’s firing came less than six weeks after he interviewed Trump as part of a major primetime special for ABC marking Trump’s first 100 days in office. Trump repeatedly chided Moran for his various lines of questioning.
Moran was axed by ABC News in June, just before his contract with the network was set to expire, after he called Trump and Miller “world-class” haters.
“The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism,” Moran began his post. “Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that’s not what’s interesting about Miller. It’s not brains. It’s bile.”
“Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred. He’s a world-class hater,” Moran wrote. “You can see this just by looking at him because you can see that his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate.”
Moran’s post went on to also call Trump a “world-class hater” but added that “his hatred [is] only a means to an end, and that end [is] his own glorification. That’s his spiritual nourishment.”
Moran has said he doesn’t regret the anti-Trump post on social media.
Washington D.C., USA - January 22, 2015; A Pro-Life woman clashes with a group of Pro-Choice demonstrators at the U.S. Supreme Court.
President Donald Trump has signaled that he plans to pardon pro-life activists who were convicted under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act during the Biden administration, according to a report from The Daily Wire. The move is expected to provide immediate relief to individuals who have faced significant prison sentences for their involvement in anti-abortion protests.
Enacted in 1994, the FACE Act is a federal law designed to protect access to reproductive health services, including abortions. It prohibits the use of force, threats or physical obstruction to interfere with individuals seeking or providing such services.
Violations of the FACE Act carry severe penalties, ranging from fines to imprisonment, depending on the circumstances and whether the offender has a prior record. While the law’s primary intent is to safeguard access to clinics, it has also been applied to prosecute pro-life activists accused of obstructing clinic entrances or engaging in threatening behavior.
Controversial Applications and High-Profile Cases
Over the years, the FACE Act has sparked significant controversy, with critics arguing that it disproportionately targets pro-life advocates. They claim the law infringes on First Amendment rights, penalizing peaceful protests rooted in religious or ideological beliefs.

One high-profile example involved Mark Houck, a Catholic pro-life advocate charged under the FACE Act in 2022. Houck’s case stemmed from an altercation with a Planned Parenthood volunteer, which he passionately argued was an act of self-defense. A jury later acquitted him, but the case became a rallying point for pro-life groups, who argued it exemplified federal overreach and selective enforcement.
Critics of the FACE Act also highlight what they perceive as inconsistent enforcement. While the law has been rigorously applied to defend the pro-choice movement, pro-life advocates claim that incidents involving vandalism or harassment at pregnancy resource centers and churches are often overlooked.
Who Is Being Pardoned?
If the pardons move forward, several pro-life activists currently in prison will see immediate relief. Among those expected to be pardoned are:
-Lauren Handy: 57 months
-John Hinshaw: 21 months

-Jonathan Darnell: 34 months
-Herb Geraghty: 27 months
-Jean Marshall: 24 months
-Joan Bell: 27 months
– Advertisement –
-Paulette Harlow: 24 months
-Bevelyn Williams: 41 months
-Heather Idoni: 24 months
-Calvin Zastro: 6 months
These individuals were convicted for participating in demonstrations at abortion clinics in Tennessee, Washington, D.C. and New York, which prosecutors argued constituted violations of the FACE Act:
The D.C. protest involved a group of pro-life protesters singing songs, praying, locking arms in front of the facility’s staff entrance, and attaching themselves with ropes and chains to block doors inside the infamous Surgi-Clinic in October 2020, a late term abortion facility. In Tennessee, a group of pro-life Christians gathered in a hall outside the Carafem Health Center in Mt. Juliet where they sang hymns, prayed, and urged women not to get abortion in March 2021.
Many of the defendants have already been imprisoned for over a year with many more months yet to serve.
“I would love to be home with my family,” 59-year-old Heather Idoni said in September. “I would love to hold my new grandson.”
Idoni was sentenced to two years in prison over the D.C. protest and was given another eight months to serve concurrently from the Nashville protest.
Broader Implications
Trump’s decision to pardon these activists underscores a sharp divide in how federal laws like the FACE Act are interpreted and enforced. For pro-life advocates, the move represents a correction to what they view as unjust and politically motivated prosecutions. For others, it raises questions about the balance between protecting access to health care and safeguarding free speech rights.

On Tuesday, House GOP conference chair Elise Stefanik (R-NY) filed an ethics complaint against special counsel Jack Smith on Tuesday, accusing the prosecutor overseeing the federal investigations into former President Trump of trying to “unlawfully interfere with the 2024 presidential election.”

The New York Congresswoman filed the complaint with the Justice Department’s Office of Professional Responsibility, arguing that Smith is trying to “rush” Trump’s federal election subversion case.
“It’s obvious to any reasonable observer that Jack Smith is trying to interfere with the 2024 election and stop the American people from electing Donald Trump,” Stefanik said in a statement. “At every turn, he has sought to accelerate his illegal prosecution of President Trump for the clear (if unstated) purpose of trying him before the November election.”
Smith should be censured for violating the Justice Department’s manual, she argues, citing a section that says attorneys may “never select the timing of any action…for the purpose of affecting any election.”
“Smith’s conduct has brought disrepute to the Department of Justice and the entire federal government, and the DOJ’s Office of Professional Responsibility should impose the discipline that such conduct warrants,” Stefanik said in her statement.
The complaint is unlikely to prompt any action from the Justice Department, however, as Smith’s case kicked off with an August 2023 indictment, some 15 months ahead of the presidential election.
Though an unwritten policy, the Justice Department encourages prosecutors to follow the “60-day rule” — avoiding any action that might influence an election.
In November, Stefanik filed an ethics complaint against Judge Arthur Engoron, who oversaw the former president’s civil fraud trial, accusing him of “inappropriate bias and judicial intemperance.”
ANALYSIS – Totally tone deaf. Just a little reminder of how ridiculously biased, partisan and idiotic our mainstream media has become, including the fluffy fashion forums.
First Lady Jill Biden, the incredibly unstylish, power-hungry, social climbing, faux intellectual with an unserious Doctor of Education (EdD), has again graced the cover of Vogue magazine.
The New York Post noted how remarkably out of touch the Biden White House is:
After Biden’s horrific debate performance on Thursday, much of the media world reluctantly conceded that our 46th president looks like a lost toddler.
And then there’s Vogue — which literally couldn’t stop the presses. The fashion-bible-turned-Dem-PR-machine was already rolling out its July issue, with cover model Jill Biden in a silk cream Ralph Lauren dress that retails for $4,990.

The magazine landed on the internet Monday morning with a resounding, wincing thud.
It was tone deaf. It was tacky — but this shoot and interview, conducted months ago, would have been messy even if the debate disaster had never happened.
Fox News host Jimmy Failla on X had this to say about the horrible caregiver of the elderly and frail Joe Biden:
Melania Trump is an actual super model who speaks 5 languages but she’s NEVER been on the cover of Vogue. Jill Biden commits vicious elder abuse on the world stage and now has two Vogue covers to show for it. Congrats Jill, you’ll be great in “The Devil Wears Depends.”
Melania Trump is an actual super model who speaks 5 languages but she's NEVER been on the cover of Vogue. Jill Biden commits vicious elder abuse on the world stage and now has two Vogue covers to show for it. Congrats Jill, you'll be great in "The Devil Wears Depends."
Former NBC senior executive Mike Sington said, “First Lady Jill Biden appears on the cover of Vogue magazine, which seems like a good time to remind you that Melania Trump never appeared on the cover of Vogue when she was First Lady.”
C.J. Pearson, a co-chair of the GOP Youth Advisory Council, said: “Outside of how tone deaf this following Joe Biden‘s disastrous debate performance, it is even more absurd that Jill Biden somehow graced the cover of Vogue and @MELANIATRUMP was never given the opportunity. Asinine even.”
Another user on X noted: “She will NEVER be Melania.”
Dr. Jill, as she insists on being called, first appeared on a Vogue cover in 2021 right after Joe Biden was inaugurated. She later appeared on the cover of the digital Winter 2023 issue.
Meanwhile, Melania Trump, an actual former supermodel who speaks several languages, and was exemplary, and always stylish and immaculately attired, as first lady is still shunned by the fashion world.
Back in 2005, when she was getting married to The Donald, and well before Trump became president, Melania did get her own Vogue cover as Trump’s new bride. But oddly, she never again got a cover for Vogue or any other fashion, or mainstream magazine. (RELATED: Melania Trump Addresses Jan. 6 for First Time)

The fact that she never landed a Vogue cover in her White House years was such a point of consternation that the former First Lady Trump criticized Wintour, who also serves as Condé Nast’s chief content officer, for it during a 2022 Fox News interview.
As Jill Biden‘s role in encouraging President Joe Biden to stay in the presidential race — despite his lackluster performance in Thursday night’s debate with Donald Trump — continues to be hashed over in the media and around the globe, Vogue debuted its August issue with the first lady on its cover.
In this already deeply divided country, the Condé Nast fashion magazine — intentionally or not — has ratcheted up the public dispute about Biden’s full-steam-ahead plans. As of Monday afternoon, Vogue‘s post of the first lady’s cover had 51,960 likes and 5,286 comments. The first lady donned an ivory Ralph Lauren Collection dress for the Norman Jean Roy-shot cover that accompanied Maya Singer’s interview.
Of course, Vogue’s editorial direction is strongly liberal. WWD added:
Requests for comment from Vogue’s global editorial director Anna Wintour and Singer through a Vogue spokesperson were declined. The company spokesperson said, “It’s no secret that Anna has been a supporter of Democratic campaigns for decades. Our August cover story is a look at the tremendous work Dr. Biden has done, and the most urgent issues in 2024 and beyond.”
Meanwhile, a parting comment: Newsmax’s Rob Schmitt wrote, “Nice puff piece on the most valueless person in America and her bid to keep her corpse-like husband into the White House to stay relevant.”

President-elect Donald Trump’s former adviser Steve Bannon is not afraid to publicly go to battle against billionaire businessman Elon Musk, calling him “truly evil” during a recent interview.
In an interview with Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, as highlighted by Mediaite, Bannon sharply criticized Musk, who was tapped by Trump to co-lead the “Department of Government Efficiency.”
“I will have Elon Musk run out of here by Inauguration Day,” Bannon said. “He is a truly evil guy, a very bad guy. I made it my personal thing to take this guy down.”
Trump is set to take office for the second time next Monday. Musk’s influence in the next administration remains unclear but he has been tapped to help lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) which is tasked with cutting wasteful government spending.
Bannon criticized Musk over the continued debate over H-1B visas. Musk is supportive of the work program that allows the U.S. to attract international talent. Trump’s base, however, is not supportive of the program, fueling a fight over the topic.
Musk himself was once an H-1B visa holder, as he is from South Africa.
“This thing of the H-1B visas, it’s about the entire immigration system is gamed by the tech overlords, they use it to their advantage, the people are furious,” Bannon said.
He slammed Musk’s heritage, calling South Africans the most racist people on Earth.
“He should go back to South Africa,” Bannon said. “Why do we have South Africans, the most racist people on Earth, white South Africans, we have them making any comments at all on what goes on in the United States?”
Bannon continued to pile on the criticism, saying Musk has a maturity of a “little boy” and only has an interest in increasing his wealth.

It’s about time…
Attorney General Pam Bondi personally stripped the Justice Department’s walls of portraits of former President Joe Biden, former Vice President Kamala Harris, and her own predecessor, former Attorney General Merrick Garland, saying it was “ridiculous” for the portraits to still be hanging nearly three weeks into President Donald Trump’s tenure
Bondi’s role in personally removing the portraits, first shared on X by the New York Post’s Miranda Devine, was confirmed to Fox News Digital by a Justice Department official.
Bondi “saw portraits of Garland, Biden, Harris were still up, and she took the initiative to take them off the walls herself and stack them in the corner,” the official told Fox News.
Attorney General @PamBondi went into the DOJ in DC today and noticed that on the walls in one wing they still have big framed photos of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Merrick Garland. This is “ridiculous” three weeks into Donald Trump’s presidency. So she took down the photos…
The actions come after Bondi, who was sworn in earlier this month, vowed during her confirmation hearing in January not to politicize the Justice Department.

President Donald Trump is keeping the door open for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to become the nation’s next attorney general, offering warm praise for his former Republican rival during a recent podcast interview.
Speaking Tuesday with New York Post columnist Miranda Devine on her “Pod Force One” podcast, Trump said DeSantis is among several Republicans being discussed as a potential replacement for former Attorney General Pam Bondi, though he stopped short of making any commitment.
“People thought of different names. There are some good names,” Trump told Devine.
Trump noted that DeSantis has never approached him about the position.
“He’s never talked about wanting the job,” the president said.
The comments highlight how dramatically relations have improved between Trump and DeSantis since their bruising 2024 Republican primary showdown. During that campaign, Trump frequently mocked the Florida governor as “Ron DeSanctimonious.” Today, the president is singing a very different tune.
“He’s a governor and doing a very good job,” Trump said. “He’s a friend of mine.”
Trump also pointed to a recent honor bestowed by Florida lawmakers and signed into law by DeSantis.
“He just named an airport after me,” Trump said. “They named the Palm Beach International Airport the Donald J. Trump International Airport.”
The airport renaming became official after DeSantis signed legislation earlier this year. Trump called the designation “a great honor.”
The president also referenced DeSantis’ support for plans involving Trump’s future presidential library.
While DeSantis’ name is generating buzz among conservatives, Trump suggested he’s pleased with Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, who currently leads the Department of Justice and previously served as Trump’s personal attorney.
“I wanted to see how he’s received,” Trump said of Blanche. “He’s done a very good job.”
Trump indicated that no final decision has been made.
“There are a lot of great people,” the president said. “The Republican Party — we have great people.”
For his part, DeSantis has publicly downplayed speculation about a possible role in the Trump administration.
According to Florida Politics, the governor recently said, “No one’s ever asked me to do anything, and I’ve never asked to do anything.”
Still, some Republicans believe DeSantis would be a strong fit for the nation’s top law enforcement post.
Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) who is running to succeed DeSantis as governor, told conservative commentator Benny Johnson last month that he believes DeSantis would “make a very good attorney general.”
“Knowing Gov. DeSantis, he will make sure that he looks through everything with a fine-tooth comb to hold people accountable and I think that’s a spot he could be incredibly well-suited for,” Donalds said, while also praising Blanche’s performance.
For now, Trump appears content to keep his options open — and DeSantis’ name firmly in the conversation.
White House trade adviser Peter Navarro has made it clear: President Donald J. Trump’s bold restructuring of global trade deserves the world’s highest economic recognition — the Nobel Prize in Economics.
Appearing on Fox Business, Navarro praised Trump’s unwavering commitment to putting America first at the negotiating table:
“Since President Trump has essentially taught the world trade economics, he might be up for the Nobel on economics. This is a fundamental restructuring of the international trade environment. The largest market in the world has drawn a line: you will not cheat us anymore,” Navarro said.
Under Trump’s leadership, the United States has replaced decades of bad deals with fair and reciprocal agreements. Tariffs — dismissed by critics — have functioned as tax cuts for the American economy, and inflation has stayed under control.
America First Wins on the World Stage The Trump administration’s trade strategy is delivering results at lightning speed. Landmark agreements have been secured with the United Kingdom, European Union, and Japan, and negotiations are underway with China — the world’s second-largest economy — to ensure fair play and accountability.
Navarro summed it up:
“These deals are happening now fast and are incredibly effective.”
Nominations Rolling In Trump’s bold leadership isn’t just earning results — it’s earning global recognition. Multiple leaders and officials have nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize:
U.S. Reps. Buddy Carter (GA) and Darrell Issa (CA) for his groundbreaking Middle East peace agreements, including progress toward resolving tensions between Israel and Iran.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who presented Trump with a formal letter of nomination after the President’s push for a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.
Pakistani officials praised Trump’s role in de-escalating disputes with India (despite later disagreements over separate actions in the region).
The Trump Standard vs. the Obama Surprise While Barack Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize just months into his first term without any major achievements, President Trump has delivered historic results — and still doubts the globalist establishment will give him the recognition he’s earned.
“I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for this, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for stopping the War between India and Pakistan, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for stopping the War between Serbia and Kosovo,” he wrote in a June Truth Social post, also naming conflicts in North Africa and the Middle East.
“No, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize no matter what I do, including Russia/Ukraine, and Israel/Iran, whatever those outcomes may be, but the people know, and that’s all that matters to me!” Trump added.
Former Vice President Mike Pence is speaking out on the shocking of classified documents from President Biden’s time as vice president.
Biden’s attorney discovered the classified documents in a private office in November. Since then, the incident was passed on to the Justice Department for further investigation that the White House is cooperating with, Richard Sauber, special counsel to Biden, said.
Pence said that the discovery of classified materials at a think tank compared to the FBI’s unprecedented search of former President Trump’s private residence and subsequent media swarm proved a “double standard.”
“It’s just incredibly frustrating to me,” Pence said on the “Hugh Hewitt Show.” “But the original sin here was the massive overreach.”
The former VP said this search created a standard that the FBI could execute a search warrant at a former president’s personal residence.
Pence also reasoned that the Biden administration should appoint the same special counsel for investigation in Biden’s papers, instead of a U.S. attorney, as they did for Trump.
“But having now created that standard and now abandoned that standard when the current president of the United States is found to have had classified documents in his possession after leaving office, I have no words right now,” Pence said.
“But the willingness of the national media to just turn away and turn a deaf ear to the Biden, to the disclosures that when Vice President Biden left office, he left with classified documents as well, it just shows you, it’s like I said before,” Pence added. “If they didn’t have double standards, they’d have no standards at all.”
“What they have unleashed now has the threat of coming back on them,” Pence said.
Former President Trump is under investigation for more than 100 classified documents were removed from his private residence in Mar-a-Lago, by FBI agents in August. Th
