Trump: 'Jihadists' Being Elected 'All Over the Place'

President Donald Trump said Monday that "jihadists" are being elected "all over the place," escalating his criticism of Democrats less than three months before the midterm elections.

"Well, the one thing is, we have jihadists being elected all over the place," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, without identifying specific candidates, CNN reported.

"We have this whether it's communism, jihadism," Trump added.

Trump has frequently characterized Democrats and democratic socialists as communists as Republicans seek to portray the party as moving further to the left ahead of the November elections. He has also begun using the term "jihadists" in criticizing Democrats.

Trump said a friend had suggested the term to him.

"A friend of mine called up," Trump said, recounting that the person told him, "You know, really, you should use the word jihadist because that's what's happening."

Trump said that, "as an example," some candidates he was referring to came from countries such as Somalia.

Trump has repeatedly criticized Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., 

 

who was born in Somalia. Trump has previously called for Omar and another Muslim member of Congress to go "back from where they came."

Trump has also sharply criticized Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who is Muslim.

At a campaign event in Las Vegas last week, Trump called El-Sayed a "hater of Jews and hater of Israel."

El-Sayed has been a critic of the Israeli government.

Over the weekend, Trump shared an image showing himself and first lady Melania Trump alongside a photograph of El-Sayed and his wife, Sarah Jukaku, who wears a hijab. The caption read, "Two very different Americas."

 

El-Sayed responded Sunday during an appearance on CNN's "State of the Union," agreeing that the photographs represented two different visions of the country while offering his own interpretation of the contrast.

"Yeah, he's right. One in which your overlords are two people who don't like each other but join in the interest of making billions of dollars off of you. Or, two people who genuinely love each other, enjoyed some pancakes together, want to come together to build the kind of America where they can raise a family and know that that family is going to have the good thing," El-Sayed said. "So, yes, you got two different visions of America."

National Republicans have also increased their criticism of El-Sayed since he won the Democrat nomination last week, including referring to him by his full name, Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed.

Trump has previously accused Democrats of being taken over by "godless Communists" and has portrayed communism as a growing threat to the country. Democratic socialists, while advocating policies substantially to the left of mainstream Democrats, distinguish their political philosophy from communism.

These Two So Deserve Each Other: Pelosi and Wiener's Ugly Succession War Explodes

California has really been putting forth some “special” politicians in the 21^st century. 

Let’s see, we’ve got Democrat Sen. Adam “Conspiracy!” Schiff, who was censured by the House for his dishonesty in 2023, you’ve got pervy former Rep. Eric Swalwell, who had to flee from his gubernatorial campaign in April due to lurid sex allegations, you’ve got former vice president and failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris, who can’t form a coherent sentence and just inadvertently became the best spokesperson for the SAVE America Act that we’ve seen yet… The list goes on.

 

Certainly not to be forgotten, however, are two of the most toxic of all: “Speaker Emerita” Nancy Pelosi (CA-11), who is so lacking in class that she ripped up the sitting president’s State of the Union speech on the House floor moments after he delivered it, and gender-obsessed State Senator Scott Wiener (11), 

 

whose most recent contribution to society was to lead the effort to block portions of a bill that would have prevented convicted sex felons from running for office.

These two are real sweethearts, aren’t they?

Now she’s retiring, and he wants her seat — but she’s backed his rival, San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan. 

 

Wiener and Pelosi have never been close; she reportedly thought he had been running a shadow campaign for years and even announced his run before she had said she would be retiring. 

Their spat has suddenly become public, and ugly:

Nancy Pelosi is unleashing her political machine to block one of California’s most prominent state lawmakers from replacing her in Congress, bringing an increasingly bitter feud to a head inside San Francisco’s Democratic establishment.

The latest clash erupted after Pelosi and her allies publicly blasted Scott Wiener’s campaign last week over an AI-powered chatbot imitating her preferred successor, San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan, calling the bot “sexist” and a source of “harmful racial tropes that echo Trump birtherism.”

CALIFORNIA CHAOS: CA Dems Kill Bill to Keep Child Sex Predators Off the Ballot — And Guess Who Led the Charge

And the Inevitable Division on the Left Begins With Scott Wiener's Primary Success (VIP)

---

The catfight is over ConnieChan.ai, an artificial intelligence-driven chatbot that Wiener’s office made which answered questions in Chan’s voice (or her AI voice, anyway). “I’m Connie, the world’s first AI trained to say ‘no’ to anything you ask,” the site says.

Although the Democrats cannot tell you what a woman is and have sold their human rights down the river with their enthusiasm for men playing in their sports, Pelosi had a predictable response: Sexissssssssm!

“Using AI to fabricate a woman’s voice for ridicule or attack is a gross misuse of technology and reflects a disturbing willingness to erase women’s agency and reinforce the sexist tropes that have long been used to undermine women in public life.”

That’s from a statement she posted Thursday with the approval of eight other female Democrats. There's more — plenty more:

Pelosi made sure to throw in a racism accusation as well:

When the target is a woman of color, those harms compound with racial stereotypes that have historically been used to question women’s credibility, leadership, and belonging.

As disturbing as Scott Wiener is, I almost feel sorry for him to have to listen to this hysterical tantrum. Almost.

It's been a rough summer for the extremist LGBTQ activist:

Wiener has taken down the chatbot and issued all the usual meaningless-sounding political apologies, so Pelosi and Chan appear to have won this round. I actually think the former House Speaker is right that we’re going down a slippery slope by using AI to put words in politicians’ mouths, but her attempt to tie Wiener of all people to Trump — who he shares absolutely nothing in common with — is just pathetic.

These two more than deserve each other, and I’m fervently hoping to see more toxic battles break out between them in the future.

 

Conservative Blacks Call Out the Smithsonian's Terrible Take on Black American History

Earl Walker Jackson, a Black church bishop, author, and political commentator,

 

 had some choice words about the Smithsonian National Museum of American History and its descent into anti-American, woke indoctrination that demonizes the American experience, particularly the Black American experience.

Black bishop and author Earl Walker Jackson, a descendant of enslaved ancestors, is criticizing the Smithsonian National Museum of American History for what he said amounts to anti-American "indoctrination" against the "greatest nation on earth."

Although his great-grandparents were enslaved, Jackson believes that "if you were born an American, you hit the proverbial lottery because you have more opportunity and hope than any people living anywhere else on the planet."

In an interview with Fox News Digital, Jackson said the latest controversy over what the White House described as the Smithsonian’s woke "ideological capture" angered him because of what he views as smears against the U.S.

Jackson's entire interview linked above is quite insightful, and he echoes my sentiments as well as other Black conservatives. 

"This is a wonderful country; it's the greatest nation on earth."

Bishop Earl Walker Jackson, a descendant of slaves, is blasting what he calls anti-American "indoctrination" at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History.

Jackson, whose great-grandparents were enslaved, says Americans are being taught to view the country through race, ethnicity, and class instead of recognizing the opportunities it provides.

"If you were born an American, you hit the proverbial lottery because you have more opportunity and hope than any people living anywhere else on the planet."

His criticism comes after a White House report accused the museum of "ideological capture," fueling new scrutiny on Capitol Hill over how the Smithsonian presents American history.

Bishop Jackson is not alone. While the leftists want to foment angst and complication, my relationship with America is anything but. As a great-granddaughter of slaves who is also one-sixteenth Native American, America is the land where I was born and raised and that I love. Thanks to the opportunities I've received, it has loved me back. It is the home where my family built their lives and fortunes and where I am building mine. Being an American is a privilege, and the dark and unsavory portions of that history make the transcendent portions even more triumphant. America in context is all part of the fabric and design, and the efforts to rend or rework that design only destroy the entire tapestry. So, the warped and wrongheaded mission of the Smithsonian, and museum director Dr. Anthea Hartig, is geared to destroy America, rather than spotlight her. 

As RedState reported, the Smithsonian Institution has been under fire by the Trump administration for its focus on political indoctrination rather than actual education. In July, the House Oversight Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE) held hearings on the 162-page PDF report: "Rewriting American History: Examining the Smithsonian’s Efforts to Reshape the Past." 

 

The White House Domestic Policy Council issued this document on July 4, which detailed the ways in which the National Museum of American History has pushed “woke” ideology that minimizes the Founding Fathers, rewrites the narrative on slavery and the Black experience in order to emphasize systemic injustice and promote social justice means, and how the museum views every historical American milestone through the lens of race, gender, immigration, economic inequality, and sexuality, rather than U.S. history as it has been traditionally taught. 

Museum Director Hartig was not only singled out in the report, but was questioned extensively at the DOGE hearing. Her answers, or lack of them, ranged from ridiculous to absolutely nonsensical. Hartig drank the Kool-Aid long ago, and it oozes through all of her work. In a presentation to UCLA students in February 2025, Hartig said:

[The] "United States’ long and violent racial history continues to be present in our reckoning, if you will" and said that "redress in the form of reparation, of course, goes beyond acknowledgement of wrongdoing; it should leverage responsibility, it should think about the act of correction, as we pursue restorative justice and, for us [on the call], restorative justice through history."

How does "restorative justice" look to Hartig? So far it's radical Marxist Angela Davis being promoted as a feminist hero and Mickey Mouse being deemed racist because Steamboat Willie is a reflection of "blackface minstrelry." It's clear: Hartig has lost the plot, and clear-thinking Black Americans know this. Yet, Hartig gets paid $370,000 dollars annually to embed revisionist history into a national museum that is visited by the world, giving a warped perspective on America and the American experience.

It is pivotal that the Trump administration is exposing this and working to return the museum back to its roots. As Bishop Jackson and I have affirmed, there are plenty of us who refuse and refute the liberal indoctrination, as well as call out this disservice to the American experience projected through singular lenses of oppression and divisiveness. 

 

John Allante McAuley, a former candidate for Philadelphia GOP chairman, took the time to visit the President's House Slave Exhibit in Philadelphia, because the usual Black activists and AWFL suspects were screaming that the Trump administration is whitewashing slavery. McCauley videoed some of his thoughts, which I have linked below. 

The locus of his assessment is spot on. McAuley said, "Once again, you have Black liberals doing the bidding of white liberals here, and they want to keep you angry."

Bingo. It goes back to the fabric of our country. If you feel a part of it, you protect and defend it; if you don't, you seek to tear it apart. 

McAuley continued:

"They want to keep us angry, they want to keep us hating America. Black people act like America is not for them, when it was business decisions why things happened hundreds of years ago.

"None of what happened in the 1600s, 1700s, 1800s, have nothing to do with where Black people are today.

"There's no accountability being taught. And they want you angry over slave panels that the majority of Philadelphians — Black Philadelphians — have never visited." 

We hope the Trump administration will work to Make Museums Factual Again. In the meantime, we'll keep debunking the lies and indoctrination that want to dishonestly remake American history. 

"I came down to the President's House exhibit to see what the controversy is about regarding the language used to describe the enslaved people who worked for George Washington. I talk about how the conversation is more nuanced than what the media reports, and I discuss the importance of understanding the full history, including the role of Africans in the slave trade. I also share the story of Anthony Johnson, a Black man who owned indentured servants and was involved in the John Casor case, which I argue laid the foundation for chattel slavery. I express frustration with what I see as a culture of degeneracy in the Black community today and argue that historical slavery is not an excuse for current issues."

 

A Familiar Face Is Mulling a Re-Match Against John Fetterman, but There Are Others

It’s inevitable: Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) will likely face a primary challenge when he runs for reelection in 2028. The only thing preventing his approval ratings from dropping sharply is support from Independents and Republicans. He has declined significantly among Democrats. 

If he switches parties, it’s doubtful Republicans would choose him over a hard-core conservative, whoever that may be. You never know — Fetterman has even admitted he’d be a terrible Republican as he votes with Democrats 90 percent of the time. That’s why I’m cautious about this whole party switch: there’s no guarantee he’d align with us on major policy and budget battles unless it involves Israel. 

That’s his red line. If his party adopts anti-Israel nonsense, he’s out.

But one familiar Democrat said he’d be open to a rematch, former Rep. Conor Lamb, 

 

whom Fetterman bested in the 2022 Democrat primary. He’s testing the waters (via Pittsburgh Post-Gazette):

As support for Israel within the Democratic Party falls to historic lows, Fetterman has only hardened his support for the longtime ally — even going so far as to say he might leave his party if the growing opposition to U.S. military aid became the Democrats’ official position.

Progressive groups — and some possible 2028 opponents — have criticized Fetterman for not holding in-person town hall meetings in Pennsylvania even as he sides with the Trump administration when many Democratic voters say they want their party to fight the White House.

“I think [Fetterman] represents himself and his sole project is to get attention for himself as much as [he] possibly can,” said former Rep. Conor Lamb, another potential challenger who lost the 2022 Democratic primary to Fetterman. “He's just completely abandoned the Democratic priorities that people elected him on in the first place.”

[…]

In an indication of just how far that base has split from Fetterman since then, consider Ocasio-Cortez’s social media post after Fetterman broke with his party and voted to end a government shutdown in 2025.

“Where do I submit my Conor Lamb apology form?” she wrote.

Lamb said he would consider challenging Fetterman again if that was “something people want to see,” but he has not yet confirmed a run.

Fetterman calling Republican Sen. David McCormick (R-PA)

 

 his mentor probably won't help his image among others in his party, as you can tell — he couldn’t care less. 

 

Scott Jennings Cut Through the Lib Media Hysterics About Trump's Secret Flight From Turkey

 You saw the initial report: President Trump left Turkey on a secret flight after attending a NATO summit. The president reportedly made this move by hiding in a catering truck. It caused a flood of bad takes, all pointing to one thing: the Left wants Trump to die. They want to see him assassinated, because that’s why he took the secret flight, you idiots. There was a credible assassination threat from the Iranians, which led to these measures. It wasn’t Trump hiding from Tehran or the press — this was about protecting a man who has faced numerous assassination attempts. 

It’s what Scott Jennings nailed on CNN, noting that it was unusual because it sounds like this was a very serious threat to Trump’s safety. He added he was glad the Secret Service engaged in some cloak-and-dagger to keep the president safe. Also, let’s not act as if we’re shocked, given regional proximity, so it’s also good that Trump attended the NATO meeting. For liberals, they’d rather hope he dies or say he’s weak.

I mean, the assassination threat was the first thing mentioned in The Washington Post piece that got the scoop:

 An Iranian assassination threat against President Donald Trump prompted an extraordinary operation last month in which he flew secretly from Turkey on an alternate military aircraft while the White House said he was aboard Air Force One, The Washington Post has learned.

The clandestine mission, which has not been reported previously, was carried out unbeknownst to journalists and some White House staff members who believed they were on the same plane as the president, according to material reviewed by The Post, a U.S. official familiar with the operation and another person with knowledge of the president’s travel. These people spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk about the matter.

The administration has claimed that Trump departed Turkey on July 8 on the former Air Force One. Trump announced on social media that he would use the “former Air Force One” rather than the plane that flew him there, a newer Boeing 747-8 gifted to the United States by Qatar. The security of the Qatar-provided aircraft has been called into question, and Trump said last month after the trip that it would undergo additional upgrades.

In Ankara, Trump boarded the old Air Force One jumbo jet in view of television cameras. He was secretly shuttled minutes later to a smaller plane — an Air Force C-32A — via an airport catering truck typically used to load meals and other supplies preflight, according to the U.S. official and corroborating material reviewed by The Post. That made Air Force One a “decoy” with media and some White House staff aboard, the official said.

First, the leak of this story was grossly irresponsible. Second, if there is a threat to the president’s life, the Secret Service will do everything to make sure that doesn’t happen. What are we even talking about here? Do people want the Secret Service not to do their jobs? 

So, nice job bungling the actual point about this story, liberal media. 

Media Frenzy Fuels Chaos in Mysterious Death of Ocean Springs Teen (If this had been a white kid it would be zero mention in the mainstream media)

Nolan Xavier Wells, an 18-year-old from Ocean Springs, vanished after a July Fourth boat outing to Horn Island and his body was recovered in the water two days later, kicking off a chaotic media feeding frenzy that still outpaces the facts. Local and national outlets report authorities are investigating while the official cause and manner of death remain under review.

 If this had been a white kid it would be zero mention in the mainstream media

A viral clip from that day set off a wildfire of online speculation, with countless armchair detectives declaring they had the whole story based on a few seconds of shaky footage. One friend who has gone on the record insists the voice heard in the clip is his — not Nolan’s — and says the scene has been wildly misinterpreted by people who’ve never set foot on that beach.

 

The family’s legal team brought in an independent autopsy that they say returned an “undetermined” cause of death amid decomposition and found concerning but inconclusive findings, which only underscores how premature it is for headline-hunting pundits to pronounce guilt. High-profile advocates have amplified unverified theories while calling for immediate conclusions instead of waiting for investigators to finish their work.

Worse, public figures and social platforms have fanned suspicion by resharing photos and clips that have not been properly authenticated, fueling a mob mentality that threatens ordinary people who were there that day. Those reckless amplifications have coincided with real-world consequences: federal authorities have charged multiple people who allegedly issued threats tied to the case, showing how online hysteria can quickly spill into criminal conduct.

 

It’s patriotic to demand answers for a young life cut short, but it is not patriotic to weaponize grief for clicks or to paint people with broad, destructive strokes before evidence is in. Friends who are speaking out insist they’re being unfairly demonized and have objected to race-first narratives that leap ahead of the facts; sensible conservatives should stand for due process and reject the rush to judgment.

What this moment really needs is calm, competent law enforcement and a media that remembers its duty to verify before it vilifies. The threats, the unverified posts, and the celebrity-fueled speculation aren’t helping anyone find the truth — they’re making it harder — and patriotic Americans should demand investigators be allowed to follow the evidence without being drowned out by a digital lynch mob.

 

Johnson and Paul Reveal Fauci Texts on Vaccine Messaging in Pregnancy

 Senator Ron Johnson (R‑Wis.) and Senator Rand Paul (R‑Ky.) dropped the first batch of messages they say came from a government‑issued phone used by Dr. Anthony Fauci. The excerpts — which the senators released and which media reports are now parsing — focus on vaccine guidance for pregnant women and how public‑health officials discussed messaging. If you care about informed consent, transparency, or basic accountability, this is the sort of thing that should make you pay attention.

 

 What the Fauci texts release claims

The senators’ release says the phone contained tens of thousands of texts and hundreds of voicemails, and they published a subset for public view. The highlighted thread reportedly shows Dr. Anthony Fauci exchanging messages with Rochelle Walensky and Vivek Murthy about timing of COVID‑19 vaccination during pregnancy and efforts to “dispel misperceptions” — including officials addressing the idea that an mRNA vaccine could “get into your genes.” Johnson’s office also pointed to a line described as a “theoretical” link between certain symptoms and first‑trimester miscarriages. Those specific lines and the totals are being reported from the senators’ materials; independent confirmation of every excerpt and number is still pending.

Why vaccine messaging and informed consent matter

This isn’t just gossip from a group chat. Vaccine safety and pregnancy are sensitive topics that shaped policy and individual choices during the pandemic. If federal health officials discussed how to frame uncertain science in private messages, Americans deserve to see the full context. That matters for informed consent — the idea that people should get medical information that is honest, complete, and transparent. Republicans say the excerpts could change how the public judges past messaging; others warn that isolated snippets can mislead if taken out of context. Both points matter, but transparency wins every time.

 

 Oversight, chain of custody, and political theater

There are two separate but related stories here: what the messages say, and how the messages moved from a government device into the hands of Senate offices. The senators say they received the device or extracts from the Department of Health and Human Services under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and they promise more releases. That raises questions about chain of custody, whether any privileged material was filtered, and whether metadata and full threads will be made public. Meanwhile, the political theater continues: diaries were released, hearings were held, and Dr. Fauci invoked the Fifth in testimony — a scene that feeds partisan headlines but doesn’t replace hard documentary vetting.

What to watch next — and the bottom line

Expect more drops from Senator Johnson and Senator Paul, and expect the usual media and legal back‑and‑forth. The responsible route for journalists and citizens is simple: demand the original files, check timestamps and full threads, and get independent medical experts to weigh in on any technical claims about pregnancy and vaccines. Regardless of your politics, government officials must answer for how they communicated science and risk. If those conversations shaped national policy, the public should see them unredacted and explained — not parceled out as political headlines. That’s accountability, not theater.

U.S. State Dept.: Trump admin. has revoked more than 175K visas held by foreign nationals since Jan. 2025

US President Donald Trump (L) and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stand at the end of a roundtable on the American mining industry at the US Department of State in Washington, DC, on August 7, 2026.

The U.S. State Department announced on Monday that it has revoked more than 175,000 visas held by foreign nationals since President Donald Trump returned to office in January 2025.

According to State Department officials, the vast majority of visa cancellations stemmed from local law enforcement encounters and subsequent filed criminal charges.

Leading causes included “driving under the influence (DUI), assault, theft, drug offenses, reckless driving and severe allegations involving sexual battery, child abuse and human trafficking.”

The agency also highlighted a slew of financial fraud cases — including a multi-million-dollar Medicaid scheme — and targetings of organized birth tourism networks, such as an embassy in North Africa revoking over 100 visas issued to parents accused of traveling solely to secure U.S. birthright citizenship for their children.

 

Beyond standard criminal charges, the Trump administration has expanded visa revocations on foreign policy grounds. Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly personally ordered cancellations for diplomatic and security reasons, finding individuals linked to foreign governments such as Cuba and Iran.

 

Additionally, the State Department confirmed it revoked visas belonging to foreign nationals who posted online comments sociopathically celebrating the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk 

 

or endorsing violence against U.S. officials and citizens, enforcing social media monitoring as part of its vetting framework.

America will not host foreigners who celebrate the death of our fellow citizens.

Visa revocations are under way. If you are here on a visa and cheering on the public assassination of a political figure, prepare to be deported. You are not welcome in this country. pic.twitter.com/dQys2OAeK7

 — Secretary Marco Rubio (@SecRubio) September 16, 2025

The pace of revocations has accelerated significantly, rising from an average of 8,000 per month earlier in the administration to roughly 10,000 per month.

Officials explained further that the crackdown is necessary to ensure public safety, emphasizing that holding a U.S. visa “remains a privilege rather than a legal right.”
