    Far-left Democrat Slammed For Inciting Violence Against Prominent GOP Senator

    Progressive Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) is being slammed online as “unhinged” for using violent rhetoric implying that Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, “has to be knocked over the head, like hard.”

    Cruz responded to the controversy simply by posting a meme to X. 

    In response to a question about how Democrats can win elections specifically in the red state of Texas, Crockett said, “I think that you punch, I think you punch, I think you OK with punching.”

    “It’s Ted Cruz,” she went on. “I mean, like this dude has to be knocked over the head, like hard, right? Like there is no niceties with him, like at all. Like you go clean off on him.”

    Responding to the clip, the White House’s “rapid response” X account, called Crockett “another unhinged Democrat inciting violence.”

    Crockett was recently warned by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to “tread very carefully” after calling for Elon Musk to be “taken down.”

    Popular conservative account “Libs of TikTok” also chimed in, calling for Crockett to be investigated.

    “Rep Jasmine Crockett: I am totally against violence! Rep Jasmine Crockett on the same day: Knock Ted Cruz over the head and punch your opponents,” the account said, adding, “The Democratic Party is the party of violence and hypocrisy.”

    Cruz responded to Libs of TikTok’s post about Crockett claiming to be against violence with a meme that read: “You keep using that word… I do not think it means what you think it means.”  

    Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) commented: “Pro tip: don’t say things like this, whether you’re in Congress or not.”

    Crockett came under fire last week as well for saying during a “Tesla Takedown” online call that, “all I want to see happen on my birthday is for Elon to be taken down.”

    “I have learned, as I serve on the DOGE Oversight committee, that there is only one language that the people that are in charge understand right now, and that language is money,” she said.

    Crockett has said that her calls to action are “nonviolent” and are about figuratively “fighting” for democracy.

    Political Strategist Says Democrats Will Target Trump’s Family After Midterms

    Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville is escalating his rhetoric against President Donald Trump, warning that Democrats will aggressively target not just the president—but his family—if they win back power in the 2026 midterms.

    In a new video this week, Carville predicted sweeping GOP losses in November, framing the expected outcome as a political knockout that would leave Trump exposed to a wave of investigations.

    “Let’s talk about your future, your post-November future,” Carville said, anticipating widespread defeat of Trump and the GOP. “The Democrats are going to investigate you to no end.”

    “They’re going to start going after you. Then they’re going to start figuring out where all the money stolen is,” he continued. “Then they’re going to go after your stupid jacka– kids and their spouses and all the other bulls— that you see, and they’re going to investigate the s— out of you.”

    The comments build on a broader—and increasingly aggressive—set of predictions from Carville, who has repeatedly argued that Democrats are poised for major midterm gains. Across multiple recent appearances, he has claimed Republicans are heading toward significant losses, citing voter frustration over inflation, dissatisfaction with Trump’s leadership, and fallout from the administration’s handling of the Iran conflict.

    Carville has gone even further, suggesting those losses could trigger a chain reaction inside Washington: Democratic control of Congress, immediate impeachment proceedings, and a flood of investigations into Trump’s finances, conduct in office, and inner circle.

    Trump himself has warned that a Democratic victory would lead to exactly that scenario, arguing that impeachment and investigations would follow quickly if Republicans lose control of the House or Senate.

    Carville, however, is not just predicting investigations—he is openly embracing them. He has previously urged Democrats to center their messaging on accountability, including proposals for commissions to examine alleged “war profiteering” tied to the Iran conflict, which he has called a “catastrophe of the first order” and a “racket war.”

    In his latest remarks, Carville also raised the possibility that Trump could face scrutiny beyond U.S. borders.

    “When it comes to the stuff you’re doing in Iran, I got to tell you, you’re getting really, really, really close to war crimes here. You’re probably going to cross the line,” Carville warned. “And the one thing that Democrats are going to insist on in the 2028 election is that if you’re indicted by the international courts and I think it’s in Hog or Hague or somewhere in the Netherlands, we’re not going to protect your a–, not gonna protect you.”

    He added that Trump’s political support could quickly erode—even within his own party—if Republicans suffer major defeats.

    “You know who’s going to turn on you?” Carville asked. “What’s left of the Republican senators.”

    Carville has repeatedly floated a dramatic endgame: that the mounting pressure—from investigations, impeachment threats, and political isolation—could ultimately push Trump to resign early and seek a pardon from Vice President JD Vance. Still, he has argued that even a presidential pardon would not shield Trump from state-level or international legal exposure.

    “I got news for you, dude. You’re done,” he said. “And we’re going to enjoy watching your downfall. Thank you very much.”

    The White House quickly fired back. In a statement to Fox News Digital, a spokesperson said, “James Carville is a stone-cold loser who clearly suffers from a severe and debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted his peanut-sized brain.”

    Carville’s latest comments are consistent with his long track record of blunt—and often controversial—political predictions. In recent years, he has repeatedly forecast Trump’s political collapse, including predicting a Democratic victory in 2024 and even suggesting Trump’s second administration would “collapse in 30 days.”

    Now, with the 2026 midterms approaching, Carville is once again making a high-stakes call—this time not just about electoral outcomes, but about what he believes will be an aggressive, wide-ranging effort to investigate Trump, his family, and those closest to him if Democrats take back power.

    Elon Musk Torches Trump Trade Advisor Peter Navarro

    Tensions are running high…

    SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk sparred on social media Tuesday with White House Senior Counselor Peter Navarro, after he made comments about the DOGE adviser during an interview with CNBC.

    “Tesla has the most American-made cars. Navarro is dumber than a sack of bricks,” Musk said in an X post on Tuesday. 

    “Navarro is truly a moron,” Musk said in a separate post. “What he says here is demonstrably false.” 

    “Navarro is dumber than a sack of bricks,” Musk added, writing later, “By any definition whatsoever, Tesla is the most vertically integrated auto manufacturer in America with the highest percentage of US content. Navarro should ask the fake expert he invented, Ron Vara.”

    Both Navarro and Musk are two of Trump’s closest advisors, and Navarro previously served in Trump’s first administration as the director of the White House National Trade Council and the director of the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy. 

    Musk is currently spearheading the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency initiative to curb government waste and spending as a “special government employee.” 

    The executive or legislative branches are permitted to take on temporary employees to address short-term projects for up to 130 days in a single 365-day period, which will expire at the end of May for Musk. 

    Navarro told CNBC in an interview Monday that Musk is a “car person” who wants “cheap, foreign parts.” 

    “When it comes to tariffs and trade, we all understand in the White House, and the American people understand, that Elon is a car manufacturer, but he’s not a car manufacturer,” Navarro said. “He’s a car assembler.” 

    The tension between the two advisors comes days after the Trump administration unveiled a host of tariffs.

    The White House dismissed concerns about the expletive-laden fighting between tech billionaire Elon Musk and White House trade advisor Peter Navarro over tariffs, calling it an example of transparency from the Trump administration.

    “These are obviously two individuals who have very different views on trade and tariffs. Boys will be boys, and we will let their public sparring continue,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said during Tuesday’s briefing with reporters. “You guys should all be very grateful that we have the most transparent administration in history.”

    Leavitt suggested the back-and-forth between Musk and Navarro show Trump’s “willingness to hear from all sides.”

    “That he has people at the highest levels of this government, in this White House, who have very diverse opinions on very diverse issues,” she said. “But the president takes all opinions in mind, and then he makes the best decision based on the best interests of the American public.”

    White House Press Sec. Reveals How Trump Gave Her The Role

    Karoline Leavitt didn’t get a formal sit-down, a public rollout, or even much buildup before landing one of the most visible jobs in Washington.

    Instead, she got a casual aside on a phone call.

    Speaking Thursday night at a Turning Point USA event at George Washington University, the White House press secretary recounted how President Donald Trump informed her she would take on the role — in what she described as “the most anti-climatic thing ever.”

    “About a week after the election, we were on the phone about something, the president and me, just chit-chatting,” Leavitt said.

    “And it was the most anti-climatic thing ever. He goes, ‘Oh, by the way, you know, you’re going to be the White House press secretary, right?’”

    Her response: “Oh, okay.”

    Trump quickly moved on.

    “And he said, ‘So about that other thing, what do you think about that? What should we do? What should we say?’”

    “That was it. That’s how I got the job,” she said.

    Leavitt emphasized there was “no pomp and circumstance,” calling the moment “true Donald Trump fashion” and noting that “there really wasn’t a process.”

    At the time, she had been working as a spokesperson on Trump’s 2024 campaign after losing her congressional bid in New Hampshire.

    “I thought, I hope I’ll get a job. I don’t know if I will,” she said.

    Leavitt, who gave birth to her son in July 2024, is currently nine months pregnant with a daughter — adding another layer of intensity to a role she says began with little more than an offhand comment.

    Mike Lindell Appears To Be Served Lawsuit During Live Interview

    Mike Lindell, the MyPillow CEO and a prominent Trump ally, appeared to be served with legal papers during a live interview at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Thursday, in an interruption that quickly drew attention online.

    Lindell was speaking on camera with Michael Casey, a correspondent for O’Keefe Media Group, at the event in Grapevine, Texas, when a woman stepped into frame holding documents. In footage shared by Casey, the woman approached Lindell mid-interview and said: “Hi, sorry to interrupt. I have this for you. You’ve been served.”

    Casey described the woman as a “deranged leftist,” though her identity and the nature of the documents have not been independently confirmed.

    Lindell attempted to continue the interview, repeatedly asking the woman to move out of the shot. “We’re on TV here, please. We’re on TV, please. OK, we’re on TV,” he said, gesturing for her to step aside.

    Watch:

    As Casey pressed the woman about what she was delivering, Lindell added: “I’m not accepting it.” The woman insisted the papers had been served regardless. Lindell briefly took the documents before tossing them off camera behind him and continuing the interview.

    It remains unclear whether the incident involved a legitimate legal filing or was a staged disruption. No details about the alleged lawsuit were immediately available.

    Lindell has been a close ally of former President Donald Trump and one of his most vocal supporters since the 2020 election. He has repeatedly promoted Trump’s false claims that the election was stolen, using his platform, LindellTV, to amplify those assertions. Trump has publicly praised Lindell in the past, often highlighting his loyalty and willingness to fund efforts challenging the election results.

    That alignment has also placed Lindell at the center of multiple legal battles. He has faced defamation lawsuits from voting technology companies over his election claims, and earlier this week, he lost a bid to overturn a related defamation verdict.

    Fox News Host Defies Conservative Line On Trump’s Christmastime Move

    Brian Kilmeade isn’t on board.

    The Fox & Friends co-host recently broke with several conservative allies after blasting President Trump’s newly unveiled “Presidential Walk of Fame” plaques at the White House, warning the displays go too far — and could come back to haunt Republicans.

    Installed along the White House Colonnade, the plaques feature blunt and often mocking descriptions of former presidents. While some on the right have praised the move as funny and overdue, Kilmeade says it crosses a line.

    “I’m not for this at all,” he said.

    What’s on the plaques

    The displays take direct aim at multiple Trump predecessors:

    • Joe Biden: Replaced with an autopen image and labeled “by far, the worst President in American history.”
    • Barack Obama: Called “one of the most divisive political figures in American history.”
    • Bill Clinton: Noted mainly for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 loss to Trump.
    • George W. Bush: Also targeted with critical commentary.

    The plaques first sparked debate on The Five, where Jessica Tarlov called them “repulsive behavior.”

    Why Kilmeade objects

    Kilmeade warned that today’s trolling could become tomorrow’s problem.

    “They’re just going to mock President Trump or put something on his plaque,” he said, arguing the displays could fuel endless political payback as power shifts.

    He was especially critical of the autopen image used for Biden.

    “I am not for the autopen,” Kilmeade said, calling it juvenile and unfit for a historic setting.

    “If you’re going to do it,” he added, “just put the profiles up there.”

    History — and consequences

    Kilmeade also noted that presidential reputations often change, pointing to Ulysses S. Grant as a leader once derided but later reassessed.

    Even so, he made clear he opposes using the White House for political trolling.

    “I don’t think it’s going to happen with Joe Biden,” he said, “but I am not for the trolling.”

    Conservatives divided

    Kilmeade’s stance puts him at odds with Fox colleagues Jesse Watters and Greg Gutfeld, who defended the plaques as entertaining and brushed off concerns about decorum or future blowback.

    What do you think? Is this harmless trolling that is long overdue in response to the left’s taunts, or is it inappropriate for the president to display on the side of the White House? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

    Democrat Senator Claims Uniformed Military Is Planning Coup Against Trump

    President Donald J. Trump is presented with a 10th Combat Aviation Brigade challenge coin following an air assault and gun rain demonstration at Fort Drum, New York, on August 13. The demonstration was part of President Trump's visit to the 10th Mountain Division (LI) to sign the National Defense Authorization Act of 2019, which increases the Army's authorized active-duty end strength by 4,000 enabling us to field critical capabilities in support of the National Defense Strategy.

    This week, Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) said that he believes the U.S. military could serve as a constraint on President Donald Trump’s administration, arguing that senior uniformed leaders remain primarily loyal to the Constitution rather than any individual political figure.

    Speaking during an appearance on “MS NOW” Wednesday morning, Warner previewed questions he said he plans to ask U.S. Navy Adm. Frank M. Bradley when Bradley testifies Thursday before the Senate Intelligence Committee. Warner serves as the committee’s vice chair.

    Warner said his questions will focus in part on concerns surrounding Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and the administration’s recent military actions, including strikes in the Caribbean. Warner said he trusts Bradley, but raised doubts about Hegseth’s public statements.

    “Remember, this is an administration that has treated the uniformed military with unprecedented disrespect when they were all brought to get a pep rally in front of Hegseth and Trump,” Warner said. “This is an administration that’s fired uniform generals from the head of the NSA, the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency.”

    He added: “And I think in many ways, the uniformed military may help save us from this president and his lame people like Hegseth, because I think their commitment is to the Constitution and obviously not to Trump. And I expect Bradley to adhere to that.”

    Warner’s comments follow similar remarks from other Democrats who have suggested service members could resist unlawful directives. Earlier this year, six Democratic lawmakers urged members of the military to resist “illegal” orders.

    Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) made a related argument in an interview last month with Don Lemon, saying he has spoken with service members who view their oath as a safeguard.

    “What gives me hope, and I talk to service members all the time. They tell me that I don’t appreciate enough and the public doesn’t appreciate enough that while Congress is not a check on the president anymore, and the judiciary at the Supreme Court is hardly a check, military members have told me, ‘We can be a check,’” Swalwell said.

    He continued: “They’re essentially saying, ‘We’re not going to betray our oath to the Constitution because this guy tells us to.’ While it’s not codified that way — they’re not a branch of government on their own— their honor and integrity might just save us.”

    Former President Barack Obama also addressed the issue Monday, saying he has seen signs of “resistance” within the military to what he described as politicization, while adding he does not believe that politicization has fully taken hold.

    “I would not expect the politicization of the Justice Department or our military,” Obama said. “And I don’t think that’s happened. I think there’s been resistance, particularly in the military, to that, but the degree to which that has been encouraged, you know, that used to be something that I would lecture other countries not to do.”

    Hanging on by a thread: Republicans hold the slimmest majority in 100 years! The GOP needs YOUR help to defeat the Democrats. Help save the House!

    Karoline Leavitt’s Next Role Officially Unveiled

    Karoline Leavitt is trading the White House lectern for a Fox News microphone.

    After weeks of speculation about her television future, President Donald Trump’s former press secretary has landed an on-air contributor role at the network, Fox announced Monday, according to The New York Times.

    Leavitt, 29, starts Nov. 1 and is expected to provide commentary across both news and opinion programming. The announcement comes roughly two months after she left the administration to spend more time with her young children. The U.S. Sun also reported the move Monday, citing the Times.

    For viewers who caught Sean Hannity’s recent conversations with Leavitt, the destination may sound familiar.

    Hannity Dropped A Big Hint

    During a September episode of his Hang Out with Sean Hannity podcast, the longtime Fox host openly encouraged Leavitt to consider a television career.

    “I see a future for you in television if you want one,” Hannity told her, according to Mediaite.

    He even floated a possible show title: “The Briefing with Karoline Leavitt.” Leavitt acknowledged that the two had discussed the possibility before, but stopped short of announcing a deal.

    Now, the Fox job is official. The announced position is a contributor role, with appearances across the network’s programming.

    Leavitt said in a statement that she would bring “the unique perspective and candor that defined my tenure with the Trump administration,” the Times reported.

    Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott pointed to Leavitt’s experience working alongside the president.

    “Karoline’s firsthand experience in the White House and on the presidential campaign trail gives her a distinct understanding of today’s political landscape,” Scott said in a statement quoted by the Times.

    A Familiar Path With A Trump Twist

    Leavitt became the youngest White House press secretary in history and quickly emerged as one of Trump’s most recognizable defenders. Her briefings regularly featured sharp exchanges with reporters, while her access to the president made her a central voice for the administration.

    After giving birth to her second child in May, she took maternity leave before announcing her departure. She pledged at the time to “remain a vocal advocate for MAGA and the Republican Party,” according to the Times.

    She follows a familiar path. Former Trump press secretary Kayleigh McEnany joined Fox as a contributor in 2021 before becoming an Outnumbered co-host. George W. Bush’s former spokeswoman Dana Perino also built a television career at the network.

    But Leavitt arrives amid fresh friction between Trump and Fox. The president recently accused the channel of airing “a completely negative narrative” and criticized Fox & Friends, the Times reported, putting one of Trump’s most familiar advocates inside a network he both watches and often publicly needles.

    Maher Sounds Alarm – Trump Could Flip Marijuana Issue On Democrats

    On Friday’s Real Time with Bill Maher, the long-time cannabis advocate gave credit where credit’s due — to Donald Trump.

    Maher acknowledged Trump’s emerging strategy to reschedule marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III. It’s not full legalization, but it’s a significant shift that would loosen federal restrictions and move the ball forward on reform.

    He didn’t mince words. “I’ve been telling Democrats for years, the Republicans are gonna steal pot from you as an issue,” Maher said, half-joking, half-dead-serious.

    WARNING: EXPLICIT LANGUAGE

    What’s notable here isn’t just the policy — it’s who’s moving on it. Trump, once again, is positioning himself as a disruptor who knows how to cut through noise and win over voters issue by issue.

    Decider offers more information on Maher’s grudging respect for Trump’s “genius” strategy:

    He drove it home with a riff on Trump’s playbook: “He’s the master at winning votes from small groups who are passionate about one issue, picking up a couple percent here, a couple there…” until Election Night turns into something like a bizarre Y-M-C-A celebration.

    And when it comes to timing, Maher confessed—with tongue in cheek—that Trump finally swung by his own camp. “Finally, he got around to me,” he teased during his “New Rules” segment—comparing his own potential shift to that of single-issue Black voters who helped Trump make gains in key cities.

    “What did you expect?” he shrugged. “He’s the master…” And amid all of this, Trump has already said he’ll have a decision on cannabis rescheduling “in the next few weeks”—a move that would send seismic ripples through the cannabis industry and potentially benefit Maher personally, since he co-owns The Woods, a West Hollywood consumption lounge.

    Maher, who still identifies as a Democrat but often breaks ranks — especially with the woke crowd — used the moment to throw up a red flag to his own party. He warned that if Democrats keep dragging their feet, Republicans could flip the script and claim an issue long seen as their turf.

    For all his usual sarcasm, Maher’s comments carried real weight: a unenthusiastic but clear nod to Trump’s political instincts — and a warning shot to Democrats who think this base-level issue is locked up.

    Trump Administration Suspends Official After Explosive Hidden Camera Footage

    The Trump White House has placed a senior administration official on leave after he was secretly recorded unloading on President Donald Trump in an undercover sting operation orchestrated by conservative activist James O’Keefe.

    Benjamin Ellisten, a senior budget analyst and funding manager working within the administration, was caught on hidden camera calling Trump a “madman” who is “f*cking it up for everybody” during a conversation with an undercover journalist tied to O’Keefe’s operation.

    The footage, which quickly exploded across conservative media and social platforms, appears to show Ellisten venting frustration over Trump’s leadership style, foreign policy decisions, and the administration’s internal operations — comments that ultimately cost him his White House role.

    A White House official confirmed to The Daily Caller that Ellisten has since been placed on administrative leave.

    “He has no direct access to the President or Senior Staff, and does not work on the White House campus,” the official told the outlet. “Such views expressed by the individual are not reflective of patriots who admirably serve in the Administration.”

    According to O’Keefe’s reporting, Ellisten had been employed by the White House since 2024.

    During the undercover conversation, Ellisten repeatedly blasted the president in strikingly personal terms.

    “He’s a madman,” Ellisten said. “Literally. He’s invincible. Nothing can stop him, and that’s dangerous.”

    At another point, he reportedly suggested Trump needed to be removed from office altogether.

    “He’s a mess,” Ellisten told the undercover journalist. “They gotta get rid of him.”

    Ellisten also took aim at Trump’s decision-making process, portraying the president as impulsive and reckless despite acknowledging that Trump does not drink alcohol.

    “The way his decisions are so erratic, you would think he drinks,” Ellisten said. “He doesn’t drink. And that’s what makes it so dangerous, that someone could be of sound mind and body, totally coherent, could just be so reckless in their decision-making. That’s scary.”

    The secretly recorded remarks are likely to further inflame concerns inside the administration about loyalty leaks and internal resistance from career staffers and lower-level political appointees — an issue Trump has railed against since his first term, when anonymous officials and bureaucratic infighting routinely made headlines.

    Ellisten also appeared to accuse the administration of profiting off geopolitical turmoil, floating speculation about insider trading tied to tensions in the Middle East and rising oil prices.

    “The president knows that he affects how people react to the stock market,” Ellisten said. “So one of the things that looks like it’s going on, and going on a lot, is insider trading. Like, for instance, with the war going on in Iran, the price of oil is expensive.”

    No evidence was presented to support the allegation.

    The sting operation also snagged comments from Maxim Lott, a White House special assistant focused on domestic policy, who described the administration’s internal operations as “chaotic” and “uncontrolled.”

    “The decision-making processes are a little bit chaotic,” Lott said in the footage.

    “I think it’s just the overall tone that, like, you know, the government right now is a little bit uncontrolled,” he added. “It’s not gonna fix itself.”

    Lott, who previously worked as a producer for libertarian journalist John Stossel, also claimed lower-level staffers sometimes make policy calls based on what they believe Trump would support politically.

    “In theory, everything should sort of come from the president,” Lott said. “But it might come from the level below him, where they’re like, ‘I think I know the president well enough to say what he would say on this.’”

    He continued: “There’s no like, ‘Oh well, this will cost $10 million but save people $20 million.’ There’s like nothing like that, it’s just, ‘this feels like a good idea’ or ‘the base supports this,’ alright, just sign.”

    Unlike Ellisten, however, Lott defended himself after being contacted by O’Keefe’s team and insisted his comments were not meant as criticism of Trump or the administration.

    “I went out with an individual I thought was a genuine person, but it goes to show how insidious politics and this city can be,” Lott said in a statement. “Nothing I said was contradictory of this Administration, and I remain fully committed to carrying out its agenda.”

    The undercover recordings come as Trump’s White House has aggressively prioritized loyalty throughout the federal government, with administration officials repeatedly warning staffers that public attacks on the president or leaks to the media would not be tolerated.

    For Trump allies, the footage is likely to reinforce long-standing concerns about anti-Trump sentiment simmering beneath the surface inside Washington’s sprawling bureaucracy — even among officials serving within the administration itself.
