LOS ANGELES – A new statewide survey shows 33-year-old businessman Leo Zacky leading among California voters aged 18-44, with 31% selecting the Republican candidate as their top choice for governor in 2026.

Former U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra came in second at 24%, former U.S. Rep. Katie Porter at 15% and California State Controller Betty Yee at 7% – all three of them Democrats.

Other notable candidates included political commentator Steve Hilton, a Republican, at 3%, former Mayor of Los Angeles Antonio Villaraigosa, a Democrat, at 2%, and Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco and Korean-American evangelical pastor Ché Ahn, both Republicans, at 1% each.

"Young voters are gravitating toward leaders who offer real-world experience and who unapologetically challenge traditional political norms and corruption," said Zacky campaign manager Ronnie Kroell. "Across the political spectrum, young voters want to see generational change – and recent elections in New York and Seattle, along with this poll, are clear indicators of that trend."

The 2026 California gubernatorial election will take place on Nov. 3, 2026. Many people believe the state's current governor, Gavin Newsom – who cannot run for a third 4-year term since the state's Constitution limits governors to two terms – has all but destroyed the state of California. Ironically, Newsom is considered the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination for U.S. president in 2028.
Thus, both the Democratic and Republican sides have many candidates. The most recent Democrat to announce his candidacy is disgraced U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell.

Zacky previously served as vice president of Zacky Farms and as a leader within the California Poultry Federation.

"My family business, Zacky Farms," Zacky noted recently, "was at one point the largest private employer in California and the largest poultry company on the West Coast. After nearly 100 years in business, the company was forced to close in 2018, due to suffocating regulations imposed by Sacramento and worsening economic conditions."

Describing his campaign strategy, Zacky said: "On the campaign trail, I share with voters each day the lessons I learned helping to run my family business, and what the state can do to improve on issues ranging from taxes, minimum wage, water management, homelessness, illegal immigration and much more.

"I love California and I want to make it better. To do that, those of us who offer solutions different from the leftist ruling elites and Democratic super-majority in this state have to talk to and persuade as many voters as possible, including those who might disagree."

He added: "In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's death, I vow to keep talking. It is the best way to combat violence as the tragic, destructive and criminal recourse it is for settling our political differences."

The survey was commissioned by the Zacky campaign and conducted in association with the Symphony Technology Group.

Indian venture capitalist Asha Jadeja Motwani has publicly claimed credit for President Trump's sudden "change of heart" on H-1B visas, a program the White House itself admits has been "deliberately exploited to replace" American workers. Indeed, Trump's September 2025 Presidential Proclamation states that H-1B has undermined both America's "economic and national security."

Yet within months, Trump reversed course and began welcoming more H-1B workers, declaring that H-1B is "MAGA" and stating that unemployed Americans cannot fill these jobs.

Motwani boasted that she spent "almost one year battling for India in Washington D.C.," enjoying "unusual access" at Mar-a-Lago while pressing U.S. leaders to adopt India-aligned immigration positions. Indian media profiles describe her as a key power broker in Washington behind Trump's H-1B shift.

On Nov. 15 she posted on X that she met Trump at his private club and spoke to him about "my favorite country India" and "how crucial it is for the U.S. to have India strongly aligned with us," adding that he replied he "loves both India and Modi."

Under U.S. law, direct political engagement with a sitting president on behalf of a foreign nation is not a social courtesy. It is foreign political activity. The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) requires anyone who seeks to influence U.S. officials "at the order, request, or under the direction or control of a foreign principal" to register with the Department of Justice so the American people can see who is trying to move their government.

Motwani did not present herself as an American citizen sharing a personal opinion. She described herself as lobbying for "India," complained that "not a single other high net worth individual (HNI) Indian American is helping India in D.C.," and urged more wealthy Indian-origin donors to join her. That is a self-portrait of someone acting for a foreign principal while enjoying the benefits of U.S. citizenship.

A search of the official FARA database shows no registration for Asha Jadeja Motwani or her foundations, despite a years-long pattern of India-aligned political advocacy stretching from the White House to Silicon Valley, elite universities and national-security think tanks.

Blueprint for a foreign lobby

This is not a one-off brag. In a detailed thread on X Motwani laid out a step-by-step plan to build an "India lobby" in Washington.

She wrote about targeting "Trump circles," explicitly distinguishing them from the State Department and urged Indian conglomerates such as Reliance and Adani to spend "substantial amounts" to "build influence in D.C." and "build relationships in Washington D.C." That is a call for foreign corporate money to reshape U.S. political outcomes.

Foreign governments and foreign companies can lobby in the United States only through registered agents who disclose their activities under FARA and lobbying laws. Motwani's own words describe the same conduct – lobbying for a foreign principal – without registration or public accountability.

She repeatedly frames America as an instrument for India's geopolitical strategy and describes her goal as keeping India "in the American pocket and not with anybody else." That language tracks directly with India's official diaspora strategy, which calls on Indian-origin elites in the United States to advance Delhi's strategic agenda inside Western institutions.

H-1B as 'slave labor'

Motwani has also openly described how the H-1B system she champions actually works. In a Sept. 21 post she wrote that the "dirty little secret" of H-1B labor is that foreign workers are treated as "a bit of slave labor," pointing to 80-hour work weeks, "no complaints" and no overtime demands.

She added that this arrangement "would be impossible if American workers replaced these foreigners," because employers would be forced to pay overtime, provide benefits and face litigation from workers who are free to report abuse without risking their immigration status.

Her own description of H-1B labor conditions, illegal hours, unpaid overtime and silence enforced by fear of deportation points approvingly to unlawful practices under U.S. labor and employment law, regardless of a worker's nationality. This is not a "talent pipeline." It is a system built on vulnerability. Employers exploit H-1B workers precisely because their immigration status can be used as leverage. Motwani's statements reveal the program's real function: securing a cheaper, more compliant, more easily exploited labor force.

Motwani is not a detached commentator, but rather is a long-time Silicon Valley investor with ties to firms repeatedly scrutinized for H-1B abuse, including Google, PayPal and multiple venture-backed tech companies she has funded, mentored or partnered with. Her statements are not guesses; they are admissions from inside the investor class. Yet she continues to press U.S. leaders to expand the very pipeline she admits is built on "slave labor," while American workers are displaced and U.S. wage laws are undercut.

Foreign ideology and political access

Motwani's political influence campaign is paired with explicit support for the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the ideological parent of India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). As documented by the Encyclopaedia Britannica and AP News, RSS provides the doctrine while BJP executes that doctrine through state power.

Motwani has repeatedly praised RSS as "India's crown jewel," said she is "studying it on a war footing" and urged Indians to "defend it."

In another post, she argued that anyone in the West who "defames" RSS should be "taken to court."

Reporting by the U.K.-based Byline Times notes that Motwani's father served in the RSS and identifies her as part of a U.S.-based network amplifying Hindutva-aligned narratives.

At the same time she boasts of influencing U.S. lawmakers, senior officials and even President Trump on H-1B and U.S.-India policy. Under FARA, "foreign principals" include foreign governments, foreign political parties and foreign ideological movements. RSS and BJP fall squarely into those categories. When someone with direct RSS lineage and open ideological alignment gains access to U.S. leaders and uses that access to press for foreign-aligned policies, it raises exactly the foreign-influence concerns FARA was enacted to address.

Nonprofit fronts and foreign defense pipelines
Beyond her personal lobbying, Motwani runs U.S.-based foundations including the Motwani Jadeja Global Foundation and the Motwani Institute for Thought Leadership in Innovation.
These entities state that they aim to shape government policy in India and the United States, promote "Indian voices" in U.S. think tanks and "open doors at Davos and Washington."

Her foundation funded a major initiative at the Center for a New American Security (CNAS), one of Washington's most influential national-security think tanks. With her support, CNAS launched a program on the "U.S.-India Strategic Partnership" focused on defense cooperation, intelligence sharing, drones, space, semiconductors and the Quad, the exact areas where India seeks deeper U.S. alignment.

At the same time, Motwani is partnering directly with foreign defense institutions. In 2024, her foundation launched DRISHTI, an India-Israel initiative built with Israel's Directorate of Defense Research & Development, part of Israel's Ministry of Defense, to advance dual-use technologies in AI, drones, robotics and autonomous systems. She then opened the Motwani Jadeja Centre of Excellence at T-Hub in Hyderabad as the hub of this corridor.

This creates a closed loop: A U.S. private foundation is embedded in Indian and Israeli defense-adjacent tech pipelines overseas while funding U.S. think-tank work that shapes how Washington views and manages its defense relationship with India. Under FARA, foreign-aligned policy programming combined with direct work alongside foreign defense ministries is a textbook indicator that registration and disclosure are required.

The Department of Justice has already brought cases in response to similar patterns of undisclosed foreign influence, including charges against think-tank co-director Gal Luft for alleged China-linked activity, scrutiny of Qatar's funding of the Brookings Institution and the indictment of former Trump adviser Thomas Barrack for acting as an unregistered agent of the UAE.

Pipelines into Silicon Valley and American institutions

The Rajeev Circle Fellowship, run by Motwani's foundation, is marketed as a program that "induces" founders from South Asia into a "tight knit community" in Silicon Valley. Fellowship materials say participants are groomed into a "distributed network of budding Scout VCs," signaling a foreign-national investment and influence network embedded inside the U.S. tech ecosystem, not a typical scholarship.

The program promises that fellows "acquire a permanent home in the Valley" after their first visit and enjoy "unprecedented freedom" to return to the U.S. for sales, fundraising and business development, with all expenses covered by the foundation. A private foundation cannot grant immigration status or lawful residency. Yet the language describes a privately funded system giving select foreign nationals repeated, structured access to U.S. tech and capital markets.

According to the foundation's own descriptions, fellows become a "living and breathing corridor between South Asia, Europe and the U.S.," a South-Asia-only network connecting founders directly into U.S. venture, technology and commercial platforms. That structure mirrors the diaspora-mobilization frameworks promoted in India's own policy documents.

The same approach appears in Motwani's work with U.S. policy institutions. In February 2024, the foundation announced a partnership with the Atlantic Council to send U.S. foreign-policy and national-security experts to India's Raisina Dialogue, co-organized by India's Ministry of External Affairs, with the stated goal of "advancing India's global ambitions" and "shaping India's trajectory on the world stage."

Then in October 2024, the foundation made a major gift to the 21st Century India Center at UC San Diego to fund an India fellowship, leadership program and courses hub targeting U.S. federal and state officials, U.S. military officers, journalists and business leaders and to place them inside Indian institutions for weeks at a time.

At the Stanford India Conference 2025, on a panel titled "Geopolitics and Defense in the Changing World," supported by the foundation, Motwani joined national-security scholars to discuss India's military strategy, defense posture, AI-enabled warfare and its alignment with U.S. frameworks such as the Quad and I2U2.

At Davos 2025, her foundation sponsored a panel on U.S.-India relations featuring former U.S. Ambassador Eric Garcetti and executives from major Indian multinationals to promote deeper alignment on defense, technology, trade and security.

These are not casual networking events. Rather, they are structured programs that bring U.S. officials, experts and capital into forums built around India's strategic priorities. Under FARA, when such programs are carried out "for or in the interests of" a foreign principal, particularly when they target U.S. decision-makers, transparency and registration are not optional.

A pattern the law was written to expose

Viewed together, the pieces form a clear pattern. Asha Jadeja Motwani tells the world she is "battling for India in Washington," claims to have helped flip a U.S. president on H-1B, urges Indian corporations to pour money into "building influence in D.C.," praises and defends the RSS-BJP ideological machine that governs India and runs U.S. foundations that partner with foreign defense ministries, move foreign founders into Silicon Valley and embed U.S. officials in Indian institutions.

She openly states that the "dirty little secret" of H-1B is that workers are treated as "a bit of slave labor," describing conditions that, if imposed on any employee in America, violate U.S. law. Yet she pushes U.S. leaders to expand that program while American workers are sidelined and their wage protections are weakened.

Finally, as noted earlier, under American law, anyone who acts "for or in the interest of" a foreign government, foreign political party or foreign ideological movement and tries to influence U.S. policy or public opinion must register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Failing to register while doing that work is a federal offense.

Americans should not have to decode legal jargon to see what is happening: A powerful Silicon Valley figure is using U.S. citizenship, U.S. institutions and U.S. access to advance the agenda of a foreign government, including a visa system she herself describes as built on exploitation and "slave labor," without the transparency federal law demands.

The record of Motwani's statements, her political outreach, her foundation's partnerships and her role in programs involving U.S.-India defense, technology and immigration policy fits the very pattern of undisclosed foreign influence that FARA was designed to bring into the open. The harm is not abstract. It falls on American workers, American institutions and American security. Whether those protections are enforced in this case is a test – not of India's power, but of America's willingness to uphold its own laws.

The documented records

 

 

 

 

This story was originally published by the WND News Center.

A self-described Muslim "imam" delivered a rage-filled rant over being seated next to a Jewish speaker at what was supposed to be a multifaith event, then demanded that Muslims in the audience walk out.

They did.

The stunning exhibition of hate was documented by constitutional expert Jonanthan Turley, who has testified to Congress on the nation's founding document, and represented members in court on those issues.
"The City College of New York campus began the latest example of anti-Semitic and extremist speech this week after Abdullah Mady, a student and self-proclaimed Imam, refused to sit next to a Jewish speaker and called for the tips of the fingers of 'the filthy rich' to be cut off in accordance with Shariah," which is Islamic social law, he explained.

"Mady sparked a walkout of Muslim attendees at an interfaith religious event after objecting to the fact that he was seated next to Ilya Bratman, an adjunct lecturer and executive director of Hillel at Baruch College, launching into an anti-Semitic diatribe," Turley explained.

Mady's exhibition included, "I came here to this event not knowing I would be sitting next to a Zionist and this is something I am not going to accept. My people are being killed right now in Gaza. If you're a Muslim, out of strength and dignity, I ask you to exit this room immediately."

About 100 students followed his Shariah-based orders.

Turley also pointed out that Mady was promoting Shariah, pushing for the "tips of the hands of a thief" be cut off to reduce crime.

And he defined those he wants mutilated.

"I'm talking about the elite, the filthy rich, the ones that continue to steal from people as we speak today. Those are the ones that deserve their tips to be cut off," he claimed.

Turley had his own warning, "What is most notable about these hateful words is how figures like Mady are combining Islamic extremism with the extreme economic messaging in New York, where a socialist was just elected New York mayor."

He also commented on Mady's claims that under Shariah, pornography, alcohol, gambling, interest all is gone.

"Indeed, it sounds like Jews, free speech, separation of church and state and capitalism would be 'gone' in the paradise awaiting the United States as a shariah-based system," he said.

The New York Post said the university now is investigating.

A school official said, "The City College of New York has zero tolerance for acts of hate or bigotry of any kind. We are investigating this incident and will promptly take all necessary and appropriate actions to address any such discrimination and remedy its effects."

The report described Mady as delivering "a Jew-hating tirade."

The students who did not walk about, about 20 Jews and Christians, had to be "escorted" out of the room by campus security "to keep them safe while those who walked out in protest gathered outside," the report said.

Student chaplain Joshua Medina, the moderator, apologized to the students for the ugliness of the Muslims.

Mady reportedly has a degree in psychology and now is trying to learning about "translational medicine."

Another organization has spoken out about the dangers of the transgender ideology being pushed by Democrats and other leftists in America.

Joe Biden was a prominent advocate of the agenda, pushing it even onto children and insisting they be given chemicals and even body-mutilating surgeries in failed attempts to turn a boy into a girl or vice versa.

It seems that to go trans is to go stupid.

Or at least stupider.

The warning comes from a group called StatsForGender.org, which confirms it uses statistics from sources "selected for their reliability."

"We mostly use peer-reviewed papers; however, we occasionally refer to government-commissioned studies, authoritative bodies' submissions to governmental commissions, published books, or doctoral theses. In a few cases, we provide references for the purpose of debunking unreliable data," the organization explains.

"As this is an emerging field of research, the information on this page may develop over time. Statistics for the transgender population are often difficult to quantify as different definitions are used to describe the term 'transgender,' Our focus is to underpin the statements we provide with sound research. We know that these statements cannot comprehensively cover every topic; however, this initiative is intended to bring some much-needed clarity to this area of study. Stats For Gender is powered by Genspect, an organization that advocates for a non-medicalized approach to gender dysphoria."

One of its cited sources confirmed that girls "treated with puberty blockers for central precocious puberty showed that IQ fell by around eight points."

"The average fell from 102 (55th percentile) to 94 (34th percentile). Two patients were held back a year at school," the organization documented.

"In another study of 30 children experiencing early puberty and treated with puberty blockers, IQ fell by around seven points."

The injury isn't limited to girls, either.

"A case study of a male patient whose puberty was blocked at age 11 showed a decline in several measurements of intelligence over the following three years, including decline of 10 points in global IQ and 15 points in verbal comprehension," the organization reported. "Verbal comprehension showed a continuous decline. Other measurements showed some improvement after an initial decline, but never recovered to baseline levels. Processing speed index scores initially improved, but then fell below baseline."

The organization reported:

Many parents of gender-questioning children are presented with statistics that make transitioning seem ideal while portraying any more cautious approach as abusive or dangerous. When children request puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones, parents often find themselves diving into scientific research, trying to distinguish fact from fiction.

Teachers, journalists, politicians, and other decision-makers are frequently confronted with data that suggests there is only one viable option. However, many remain skeptical of the rapid push towards transition. They reflect on individuals they know who were gender-non-conforming in their youth and wonder what might have happened if they had grown up in today's environment, where gender expression is so heavily emphasized.

The lack of a single, user-friendly resource for reliable gender statistics has been a challenge for both parents and professionals. That's why Genspect created Stats For Gender.

We believe the public deserves access to reliable data, organized intuitively and presented in clear, jargon-free language. Our goal is to provide those questioning their gender with full access to the facts, while also helping their families, friends, and loved ones to see the bigger picture."
The organization also cited studies revealing that "animal studies suggest puberty blockers may impair brain development, sometimes irrevocably," as well as one noting that nearly one-third (31%) of women taking puberty blockers reported "mild" memory problems, 25% had "moderate" memory issues and 19% had "marked" problems.

PALM BEACH, Florida – President Donald Trump on Wednesday went to war with a New York Times reporter who published a "hit piece" Tuesday focusing on his age and suggesting the commander in chief is losing stamina.

"The Creeps at the Failing New York Times are at it again," Trump began in a lengthy post on Truth Social.

"The Radical Left Lunatics in the soon to fold New York Times did a hit piece on me that I am perhaps losing my Energy, despite facts that show the exact opposite. They know this is wrong, as is almost every thing that they write about me, including election results, ALL PURPOSELY NEGATIVE.

"This cheap 'RAG' is truly an 'ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE.' The writer of the story, Katie Rogers, who is assigned to write only bad things about me, is a third rate reporter who is ugly, both inside and out.

"Despite all of this, I have my highest Poll Numbers, ever, and with record setting investment being made in America, they should only go up."

The headline of the report by Rogers and co-author Dylan Freedman reads: "Shorter Days, Signs of Fatigue: Trump Faces Realities of Aging in Office," with a subheadline stating: "President Trump has always used his stamina and energy as a political strength. But that image is getting harder for him to sustain."

The Times report indicated how Trump "and the people around him still talk about him as if he is the Energizer Bunny of presidential politics," in spite of his age.

"The reality is more complicated: Mr. Trump, 79, is the oldest person to be elected to the presidency, and he is aging," Rogers wrote.
The Times noted Trump is "talking more about the afterlife" while spending less time in public.

The article states:

Mr. Trump has fewer public events on his schedule and is traveling domestically much less than he did by this point during his first year in office, in 2017, although he is taking more foreign trips.

He also keeps a shorter public schedule than he used to. Most of his public appearances fall between noon and 5 p.m., on average.

And when he is in public, occasionally, his battery shows signs of wear. During an Oval Office event that began around noon on Nov. 6, Mr. Trump sat behind his desk for about 20 minutes as executives standing around him talked about weight-loss drugs.

At one point, Mr. Trump's eyelids drooped until his eyes were almost closed, and he appeared to doze on and off for several seconds. At another point, he opened his eyes and looked toward a line of journalists watching him. He stood up only after a guest who was standing near him fainted and collapsed.

Trump said Wednesday: "There will be a day when I run low on Energy, it happens to everyone, but with a PERFECT PHYSICAL EXAM AND A COMPREHENSIVE COGNITIVE TEST ('That was aced') JUST RECENTLY TAKEN, it certainly is not now!"

Two National Guard troops have been shot near the White House in what's being called a "targeted shooting" and ambush.

"This is a targeted shooting," Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser told reporters Wednesday afternoon.

Jeff Carroll, executive assistant chief of the Metropolitan Police Department, said: "It appears to be a lone gunman who ambushed these members of the National Guard."

This story was originally published by the WND News Center.

Fani Willis, apparently in coordination with others running Democrat lawfare schemes against President Donald Trump, claimed in 2023 that he and 18 others were part of an organized crime ring, charging them with counts under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.

Then the scandals started appearing, and her paramour, whom she hired with tax money to create the charges, was ordered off the case. Then she was ordered off the case. And her office was ordered off the case.

And now the case is being dismissed entirely.
The decision came from Pete Skandalakis, the chief of the Georgia Prosecuting Attorney's Council, who appointed himself to take over the prosecution when he couldn't find another prosecutor willing to work on Willis' wild claims.

Skandalakis explained the depth of the Willis' failure, which was, along with Jack Smith's now-dead federal claims, just part of the Democrats' organized lawfare against Trump that now has been revealed to have ascended to the highest levels of the Barack Obama administration and included secret federal government spying on the private telephone calls of multiple members of Congress. It all was triggered by an organized attempt by the failed Hillary Clinton campaign to falsely tie Trump to Russia.

"The criminal conduct alleged in the Atlanta Judicial Circuit's prosecution was conceived in Washington, D.C., not the State of Georgia. The federal government is the appropriate venue for this prosecution, not the State of Georgia. Indeed, if Special Counsel Jack Smith, with all the resources of the federal government at his disposal, after reviewing the evidence in this case and considering the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Trump v. United States, along with the years of litigation such a case would inevitably entail, concluded that prosecution would be fruitless, then I too find that, despite the available evidence, pursuing the prosecution of all those involved in State of Georgia v. Donald Trump, et al. on essentially federal grounds would be equally unproductive."
He filed a 22-page "Motion to Nolle Prosequi," a Latin term that simply means the prosecutor is unwilling to continue the case.
"Comes now, the state, by and through Peter J. Skandalakis, District Attorney Pro Tempore, and after a thorough examination of the case file, consideration of applicable statutory and case law, and prior to submission to a jury, the State hereby moves for entry of a Nolle Prosequi for the following reason: to serve the interests of justice and promote judicial finality (see exhibit A).For all remaining defendants, this disposition meets the criteria for the Georgia Crime Information Center to Restrict access to the criminal history for this arrest pursuant to O.C.G.A. 35-3-37(h)(2)(A).THIS the 26th day of November…"

That resulted in him being removed, then Willis removed, and her office disqualified.

It was Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee who gave prosecuting attorneys 14 days to assign a new prosecutor to the charges, and just hours before the deadline, Skandalakis appointed himself.

WND has reported the case has involved scandal after scandal after scandal for Georgia. Willis hired her paramour to help develop the case, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars of tax money on him. The two apparently took exotic vacations together, and Willis claimed she paid him back her share … in cash.

Eventually the courts ordered Wade off the case and an appeals ruling later said Willis herself, and her office, were contaminated by the apparent conflicts of interest and had to be gone.

A report at the Washington Examiner said the "sweeping racketeering" case had been suspended by uncertainty for weeks now.

Steve Sadow, representing Trump, had called for the action to be dropped.

"This politically charged prosecution has to come to an end," he said in an interview with the Washington Examiner. "We remain confident that a fair and impartial review will lead to a dismissal of the case against President Trump."

The case claims Trump and others tried to overturn the state's 2020 presidential election.

Skandalakis admitted no other prosecutors would act on the charges.

Willis named Trump, Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and a long list of political aides, lawyers, and Republican electors as co-defendants.

Trump posted to Truth Social Wednesday afternoon, saying, "LAW and JUSTICE have prevailed in the Great State of Georgia, as the corrupt Fani Willis Witch Hunt against me, and other Great American Patriots, has been DISMISSED in its entirety. This Illegal, Unconstitutional, and unAmerican Hoax was perpetrated against our Nation by Fani and her Low I.Q. Lover, Nathan Wade, at the direction of Crooked Joe Biden and his 'Handlers.' …

"The Deranged Democrats did all they could to viciously attack me, my supporters, and our MAGA Movement, for telling the TRUTH — THE 2020 ELECTION WAS RIGGED AND STOLEN, and they committed Crime after Crime as they weaponized our Law Enforcement and Justice System against HONEST AND LOVING Americans but, we have fought back and won both in the Courts and Politically with our Historic, Country saving, Landslide Victory of November 5, 2024."

The ramifications of a decision by six Democrats in Congress, already known as the "seditious six," to promote to the U.S. military the defiance of presidential orders, still remain to be seen.

One senator, Arizona Democrat Mark Kelly, could be subject to military discipline for promoting dissension within the ranks. The FBI is looking into the statements by the others.

President Donald Trump has reminded Americans of the penalties for sedition and treason, and now there are online reports that a group linked to leftist billionaire George Soros has been "fomenting sedition" for the military "around the same time a 'script" went out to Democrat members of Congress urging rebellion."
Soros, of course, long has pursued radical leftist and globalist agendas, almost always in direct opposition to Trump's agenda for making America "Great Again."

He's now in the process of turning over his empire to his son, Alex, who perhaps is even more extreme.

For example, the Soros empire of activists recently has been accused of pushing the recent government shutdown, the Schumer Shutdown, which happened over Democrats' demands that Congress spend more than a trillion dollars on their pet projects.

Reporter Eric Daugherty said, "It's been revealed that a nonprofit linked to George Soros is fomenting sedition within the military around the same time a 'script' went out to Democrat members of Congress urging rebellion within the ranks against President Trump. There are also links to ANTIFA. On November 11th – just days before the video – the National Lawyers Guild published a page urging service members to refuse 'illegal' orders. The same talking point in the video. Win Without War has put up a billboard in NC urging chaos and dissent within the ranks, a group linked to a 501(c)(4) backed by Soros' Open Society. The group was previously named New Security Action. As per @DataRepublican, Win Without War is partnered with the National Lawyers Guild. National Lawyers Guild is a supporter of antifa. And to wrap it all together? Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) said on national TV a 'script' was sent to him. He ended up not participating, but admitted it was coordinated from an external party. There it is."

In fact, Win Without War has been open in its defense of the Democrats in Congress calling for disobedient troops.

"Senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin and Representatives Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander, and Chrissy Houlahan sent servicemembers a crucial reminder that they should disobey illegal orders 48 hours later, Trump accused them of sedition and called for their arrest and execution. It's an unprecedented incitement of violence against political opponents, who were targeted simply for encouraging servicemembers to uphold the law and their oath to the Constitution," the organization claimed.
Online reaction, however, was clear about which side Americans should choose.
Trump already was working on it, apparently.
A related development had GOP members of Congress issuing their own call to the troops, to "stand strong" for law and order.

While the Democrats complained of "illegal orders," without being able to identify any, Fox News, reported Rep. Zach Nunn, R-Iowa, said, "I've flown combat missions, and I know what happens when people disobey an order. This cannot happen to the men and women who are serving right now."

The report said, "Republicans argue the Democrats' video risks undermining the military's chain of command, while the Democrats insist they were simply reminding service members not to carry out 'illegal' actions."

It was Secretary of War Pete Hegseth who called on the military to investigate Kelly, as he's still subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice, while the FBI is on the others.

Rep. Rich McCormick, R-Ga., a Gulf War veteran, specifically criticized Kelly's role in the video, Fox reported. He said, "What he said was egregious for multiple reasons. I thought it was very dishonest of him to say, 'We have your back.' No, they don't."

On "The Story," Medal of Honor recipient Sgt. Dakota Meyer called the Democrats' video "unacceptable."

"The question that needs to be asked to all of them is, do you just not trust our men and women in uniform anymore? Is that the issue or is it the fact that you don't like what the president's doing?" he said.

Calling the shooting of two National Guardsmen in Washington, D.C., Wednesday a "cowardly, dastardly act," U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced that President Trump requested 500 more Guard troops be called up to serve in the nation's capital.

"This will only stiffen our resolve" to continue to secure Washington, D.C., Hegseth said. "President Trump will never back down."

Several Cabinet members have released statements decrying the shooting and asking for the nation's prayers.

In recent years, we've seen drama play out on the podium at athletic competitions involving biological men competing as women.

In most cases, it's common knowledge when a man competes as a "transgender woman," and he often does well competing against real women.

But the man who won a women's powerlifting championship last weekend apparently fooled the very organization sponsoring the competition – and that group has now disqualified him after the fact.

According to a report at the Blaze, multiple competitors have spoken out about the controversy, with the runner-up, an actual woman, reportedly saying as she took the podium after the competition, "This is bulls**t."

Here is video of the incident:

The 2025 Official Strongman Games took place in Arlington, Texas, and saw lifter Jammie Booker, a biological male, defeat nine female competitors. As reported by Fitness Volt, Booker took home the narrow victory after runner-up Andrea Thompson finished seventh in the final event, edging her out by just a point.

On Tuesday, the strongman organization posted a statement to Instagram, the Blaze reported. The group says it was unaware that an athlete "who is biologically male and who now identifies as female" competed in the Women's Open category.

The organization said that had it been aware, the athlete would not have been permitted to compete in that category.

"We are clear – competitors can only compete in the category for the biological sex recorded at birth," the organization wrote.

The company said it had "disqualified the athlete in question" and that "athlete points and places will be altered accordingly" –- which means Thompson will be declared "The World's Strongest Woman."

The statement concluded: "The Official Strongman World Championships is an event which is rightly one of the pinnacles of the strength world. We are disappointed on behalf of all those who fairly and legitimately took part that the attention has been taken away from their efforts which deserve celebration, no matter how they performed or where they finished. We stand with them and stand with fairness."

Critics of Booker have pointed to a YouTube video seemingly posted in 2017, in which he described himself as a "21-year-old" transgender person with a "history of abuse, struggling to stay true to herself while under the rule of her religious parents."
