New: Jasmine Crockett Tops Her World Cup Comments With Absurd Remarks on ICE and 'Indigenous People'

New: Jasmine Crockett Tops Her World Cup Comments With Absurd Remarks on ICE and 'Indigenous People'

On Tuesday, we reported on some of the remarks made by Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett (TX-30) at the House Oversight hearing concerning the Smithsonian.

In a bizarre statement, Crockett appeared to argue that most people in the world were rooting for Spain in the World Cup final because of the supposed "racist history" of Argentina.

This seemed remarkably silly, and even the witness she was questioning shot that down, saying he thought they were rooting for Spain because it was the better team. No, most of the world is not looking through a racial lens like Crockett at the World Cup.

Now, that also seemed like a strange argument to make if she wants to freak out about "colonizers," as Spain did a heck of a lot of "colonizing" in the Americas.

But she wasn't quite done with the topic. She also had this winner of a statement, which she must have thought highly of, since she posted it herself.

"It's racist," she declared. "It's just racist, racist, racist."

"Let me be clear. The people that were here are the indigenous folk. And you know who ICE has been rounding up? They've been rounding up indigenous people. The people that originally came. Not the colonizers! But the original people. So what this is about is whiteness!"

Okay, I'm officially confused as I try to sort that out. Everyone's ancestors came from somewhere else, even the "Native Americans." But if anyone is "indigenous" for being here the longest, I guess it would be them. I don't think ICE is rounding them up. Where would they be deported to? So who is she even talking about here?

If she's talking about people who come from south of the border, they are not "indigenous" to this country. And this comment about "colonizers" is silly too - who is she suggesting is a "colonizer" now? And anyone coming from south of the border might indeed be descended from the Spanish - which, by her logic, would probably make them 'colonizers," even though she seems to be confused about that.

Finally, being "white" doesn't make you a "colonizer," if she's suggesting that. No one alive today was involved in any "colonizing" of this country.

Moreover, most of the world involved people going from one place to another and "colonizing." Does that make everyone descended from all the world evil? You see how this logic tends to fall into absurdity. But it's a favorite term of the left.

As a member of Congress, she should care about the borders and enforcing immigration law. That's what her job is supposed to be; that's what she's supposed to care about. But instead she spews this divisive invective. When she wonders why she's no longer going to be in Congress after this term, this might be one of the reasons why.

GOP Midterm Theme Should Be 'Joe McCarthy Was Right'

GOP Midterm Theme Should Be 'Joe McCarthy Was Right'

Stephen Kruiser

Top O' the Briefing

Happy Wednesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. The Sine Qua Non Sequitur is conducting trust-building exercises for a group of alpaca-grooming percussionists in Bolivia.

When Zohran Mamdani was sworn in as the mayor of New York City at the beginning of the year, a lot of us were probably thinking that we would watch him wreak his havoc from afar. We would mock, then move on to something else.

Well, Mini Mao has officially become a national problem by making the Democrats reveal their true selves. He's managed to do in seven months what Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez couldn't do in seven years: openly put communism on the ballot for the midterms.

The Democrats can't tiptoe around their future plans anymore. Thus far, the elders of the party have met the youthful zeal of the young Democratic Socialists of America with timid acquiescence. It's understandable; shouting people down has been the Dems' modus operandi for a long time. Of course, the loudest miscreants among them are prevailing now.

This is yet another opportunity for the GOP to make it clear to the electorate that the Democratic Party is a stone-cold commie freakshow. Two Republican congresswomen were busy pointing out the evils of communism yesterday.

Sarah wrote about some remarks that New York Rep. Nicole Malliotakis — whose mother fled from Fidel Castro in 1959 — made during a press conference:

"Communism destroys. It steals from the people," Malliotakis said. "...people end up living in squalor and lack the basic needs that human beings need, and the people that run the regime live as kings. That's the reality. It's about power. It's about consolidating power for a select few."
She pointed out that, sadly, that's exactly what we're starting to see here in the United States with the winners of several recent primaries and elections.
"We have Mayor Mamdani, who pushed and is pushing an agenda of government-run supermarkets, abolishing private property rights, and seizing the means of production," she continued. "...And that is exactly what they did in communist Cuba."

I have several friends who are from Cuba; none of them paint a pretty picture of the realities of life under communism. The only people who ever do are the commie elites who oppress their people and idiotic Americans who have had their minds polluted by Academia.

Rep. Lisa McClain of Michigan went off on the sales job those idiots are doing right now, which my Townhall colleague Dmitri Bolt wrote about:

"They've polished their branding, right? They've prettied it up. They've packaged it for social media and marketed it to young Americans and college campuses all over the world. They've packaged it as compassion, and they've made promises that they can't keep," Rep. McClain said. "But a friendlier name does not change the ideology, and it certainly does not change the endgame. This is no longer confined to the margins. Communism has taken root in our universities, our largest cities, and it has taken root in the Democratic Party. Every attack on private property, every demand for greater government control, and every lesson teaching young Americans to despise capitalism drives those roots deeper."

Republican candidates have to talk to midterm voters about the harsh truths of communism. Relentlessly. The Red Scare has always been real. Every generation provides new, young, malleable minds that the commies can woo with their lies. There will always be old commies out there to carry the torch.

We know how the Democrats and their flying monkeys in the mainstream media will respond: they'll demonize those who are telling the truth. They're still badmouthing Joe McCarthy after seven decades and he was right about everything. The triggering effect of mentioning that to lefties is priceless, by the way.

The Dem commie invaders are all out there with their masks off and their lizard faces on display for all of the voters to see. Republicans just have to make sure that those voters are looking.

Trump Calls Out Dems for Helping Iran ‘Savages,’ Punishing U.S. Citizens

Trump Calls Out Dems for Helping Iran ‘Savages,’ Punishing U.S. Citizens

Catherine Salgado

President Donald Trump excoriated Democrats on Tuesday for protesting on behalf of mass-murdering Islamic terrorists abroad while punishing successful American citizens at home. If Trump‘s agenda is America First, the Democrat agenda is most definitely America Last.

Estimates of the Iranian regime's massacre of its own people protesting for freedom this year range between 40,000 and 52,000, the latter of which is the estimate that Trump believes. On top of the horrendous slaughter, one of the worst such of the modern era, the regime locked up tens of thousands more protesters, and has executed some of them. After the execution of two more young Persians for the “crime” of standing up against terrorists and protecting innocents, and after the killing of multiple American troops, Trump reacted with fury, and partly blamed Democrats for trying to end his conflict with the terrorist regime that kills both Americans and Persians.

Over a picture of hanged freedom fighter and Afghan refugee 23-year-old Gol-Mohammad Mohammadi, Trump exclaimed, “The latest one of 52,000, plus, innocent protesters. Savages!!! When will the Dumocrats wake up???” Trump subsequently also shared a photo of 18-year-old Erfan Esfandiari, hanged with Mohammadi. Democrats are currently blocking crucial military funding in protest of the strikes against Iran.

The New York Post reported about the two young men in Iran that they were “sheltering demonstrators from government bullets and offering them refuge inside their homes.”

Besides hanging 18-year-olds for trying to protect civilians from indiscriminate government killings, the Iranian regime also conducted attacks that resulted in the deaths of four Americans last week. The Department of War has revealed the names of three so far: Army 1st Lt. Tyler James Feehan (25), Pvt. Isabella Gonzales (19), and Sgt. Michael Emmanuel Swinton (30). Democrats who want Trump to end the Iran operation wish to squander the sacrifice of our troops and ensure that the Tehran terrorists will continue to kill Americans for years to come.

Speaking of Democrats doing everything possible to ruin the lives of Americans, the president also reacted to news that Illinois has joined the ranks of Democrat states where high taxes are causing an exodus of wealthy businessmen, which of course impacts countless workers whom they would otherwise hire.

“Rich people and Companies are pouring out of Dumocrat run Blue States at levels never seen before! If this trend continues, these States will become the ‘Ghettos’ of the Future — No people, no money, no hope. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump commented. Whether it comes to foreign policy or to domestic policy, Democrats are equally destructive and determined to punish those who love freedom and prosperity. Unfortunately, wherever they are in power, they succeed at doing just that.

Smithsonian Director Humiliates Herself During House Hearing

Smithsonian Director Humiliates Herself During House Hearing

Matt Margolis

I’m sure that Anthea Hartig, the director of the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, walked into a congressional hearing room Tuesday morning thinking she could talk her way past the obvious questions. Instead, she left having proven exactly why what her museum has been teaching has so alarmed the White House.

The hearing marked the first time a top Smithsonian leader has been grilled publicly by Congress since President Donald Trump signed his March 27, 2025, executive order, "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History." The order directed Vice President JD Vance, in consultation with the president's domestic policy advisers, "to remove improper ideology" from Smithsonian institutions, arguing that materials casting America in a "negative light" have no place in federal cultural institutions.

The White House released a scathing report earlier this month accusing the Smithsonian of presenting "a radical view of American history." Hartig, naturally, disagreed. Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) was not interested in her disagreement.

Gill asked whether objectivity is a goal of history. It sounded like an easy question. "We strive to be objective and nonpartisan, and not based on any ideology," Hartig said. That answer was all Gill needed.

"Doesn't that seem a little bit concerning?" Gill asked. "It certainly does to me, because as part of this white supremacy document your organization has promoted objectivity as a core and defining aspect of white supremacy culture. Do you think that it's the goal of the Smithsonian Institution to promote white supremacy culture?"

Hartig tried to put distance between herself and the guide in question, known as the Mass Action Toolkit, insisting, "We didn't develop it."

"It is your toolkit," he said. "You've been promoting it for quite some time."

Then came the Mickey Mouse question.

Gill noted that one Smithsonian exhibit described Mickey Mouse as representing "vestiges of longstanding traditions of blackface minstrelsy." Asked whether that was racist, Hartig delivered a non-answer for the ages: "It's not for me to determine what's problematic; it's determined to me what's accurate."

Gill then pointed out that the same toolkit lists politeness as a defining characteristic of white supremacy culture. "Ma'am, are you a white supremacist?" he asked. Hartig said no. "Can you help me square why your organization says that being polite is part of being a white supremacist?"

Spoiler alert: She couldn't.

Hartig fared no better with Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.), who pressed her on an exhibit called "Entertainment Nation" that displayed images of bondage and other adult content alongside a separate exhibit in which, Burchett said, a 6-year-old girl asked why she didn't have male genitalia. "Do you think little girls have penises?" Burchett asked. "Do you think that's appropriate?"

Of course, Hartig dodged and tried to pivot, but Burchett wasn't letting her get away with it. "You are not answering the questions," he said. "You are funded by taxpayers, and the taxpayers would like to know, is that appropriate?"

Hartig never gave him a yes or no.

Hartig didn't just fail to answer questions on Tuesday. She sat in front of Congress and watched her own institution's ideology get read back to her, line by line, until she had nowhere left to hide. She couldn't defend the toolkit. She couldn't defend the exhibit. She'd essentially confirmed everything the White House accused her museum of, one dodge at a time.

Caught on Their Own Emails

Caught on Their Own Emails

Kevin McCullough

Caught on Their Own Emails — *Saul Loeb/Pool via AP*

For years, we were told to trust the process. Trust the intelligence community. Trust the experts who assured us that America's elections were the most secure in history and that anyone who questioned that was a conspiracy theorist, a threat to democracy, or worse.

Last week, we found out exactly how much that trust was worth.

On Thursday night, President Trump stood in the East Room and released a mountain of newly declassified intelligence—material that, by his own account, had never been shared with him while he sat in the Oval Office the first time, and never shared with the American people at all. The documents describe a Chinese Communist Party operation that acquired the personal data of 220 million American voters: names, addresses, phone numbers, party affiliations. Not a hack of some obscure database. The largest known compromise of U.S. voter information in history, gathered by a hostile foreign power with every incentive to use it.

And the people whose job it was to tell us? They didn't.

Buried in the documents is a message from an intelligence analyst describing how the president's Daily Brief was "deliberately massaged" to keep election-related material away from the president. An FBI official, in a separate exchange, casually described running what she called "a shadow government" inside the Bureau. These aren't Trump's words. They're the words of the officials themselves, in their own internal communications, now sitting in black-and-white for the country to read.

That response should insult anyone paying attention. There is a categorical difference between the general, decades-old understanding that foreign powers probe our systems, and hard evidence that a specific adversary successfully harvested the personal data of two-thirds of the American electorate—and that the people responsible for telling us about it chose silence instead. When China did something similar to British voter rolls, the response out of Washington was sanctions and criminal charges. When Iranian hackers got their hands on a fraction of that data, indictments followed within months. When China got ahold of data on 220 million Americans, the same officials who moved swiftly in those other cases apparently decided the public didn't need to know. That isn't an oversight. That's a decision.

Then there's Michigan. The documents detail an investigation into a Democrat-aligned canvassing operation accused of forging voter registrations, submitting applications for people who don't exist, and collecting gift cards tied to the volume of registrations turned in before the 2020 election. The evidence didn't disappear—it just sat, unresolved, while the Justice Department found other priorities.

Georgia is its own case study in why “trust us” doesn’t cut it anymore. Joe Biden’s official margin there in 2020 was 11,779 votes—a number Democrats and the press have treated as sacred ever since. But hearings before the Georgia State Election Board and the House Judiciary Committee have surfaced a detail that gets conveniently dropped from that story: roughly 315,000 tabulator tapes out of Fulton County came back without the poll worker signatures required to certify them as accurate. The Secretary of State’s office calls it a “clerical error.” Maybe. But when the paperwork meant to verify a batch of votes doesn’t exist, that batch hasn’t been verified—it’s been assumed. A margin of 11,779 doesn’t survive contact with 315,000 unverifiable tapes. If the process can’t produce the signature that says these votes are what officials claim they are, the honest standard is to set them aside until it can, not to certify first and explain later.

None of this requires anyone to relitigate who won in 2020. That's the deflection critics keep reaching for, and it's a tell. The president wasn't making a claim about outcomes. He was pointing at infrastructure—voting machines and ballot-counting systems that intelligence assessments say remain vulnerable right now, to China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea alike, along with a Homeland Security review that turned up roughly 278,000 non-citizens on the voter rolls of just four states willing to cooperate. Four states. The ones that refused to hand over their files are the obvious next question, and it's one reporters covering this story seem strangely uninterested in asking.

This is why the president is right to order the Director of National Intelligence, the Justice Department, the FBI, and the CIA to find out exactly how this information was kept from him and from the country—and why Congress should move on the SAVE America Act rather than let this fade into the next news cycle, which is precisely what the people who buried this information for years are counting on.

Americans don't need to be told what to think about their own elections by the same institutions that just got caught hiding the truth from them. They need the receipts. This week, for the first time, they got some.

The next move belongs to Congress, and to a press corps that has a choice to make: report what's actually in these documents, or spend the next few weeks doing exactly what the declassified emails describe—managing the story instead of telling it.

Watch: Brandon Gill Once Smashed Somali Welfare Stats in MN - What Happened Next?

Watch: Brandon Gill Once Smashed Somali Welfare Stats in MN - What Happened Next?

By Ward Clark | 5:49 PM on July 20, 2026

The opinions expressed by contributors are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of RedState.com.

Some takedowns are worth watching, and once in a while, you see a really good one. Last January, we were treated to one such in a House of Representatives Oversight Committee hearing, when Rep. Brandon Gill (TX-26) was questioning Democratic witness Brendan Ballou during hearings on the Minnesota welfare/fraud issues. What was said then was, well, revealing. Watch:

Here's how that takedown went:

Rep. Gill: Mr. Ballou, thank you for being here. Let me ask you, does large-scale Somali immigration make Minnesota stronger or weaker?
Brendan Ballou: Certainly stronger.
Rep. Gill: Certainly stronger. Do you know what percentage of Somali-headed households in Minnesota are on food stamps?
Brendan Ballou: No.
Rep. Gill: 54 percent. Do you know what that number is for native Minnesota-headed households?
Brendan Ballou: Well, to be clear, a majority of the...
Rep. Gill: It's seven percent. There's a big difference between 54 percent and seven percent. Is there not?
Brendan Ballou: Excuse me, sir, could I please answer the question?
Rep. Gill: Let me move on, we've got a lot of questions here. What percentage of Somali-headed households in Minnesota are on Medicaid?
Brendan Ballou: I don't know.
Rep. Gill: It's 73 percent.

It goes on in that vein for some time. Why does this matter now, six months later? Because things in this issue haven't changed. Oh, yes, the FBI and local enforcement have cleaned up some of the fraud, and that work continues. But what about the welfare issue?

Brendan Ballou, later in the clip, makes the point that the majority of the Somalis living in Minnesota were born in the United States. Rep. Gill makes the point that half of them don't speak English. This is a catastrophic lack of even any attempt to assimilate to the United States. They aren't even trying. And, given our generous welfare systems, there's no reason why they should. If this isn't an argument for a ground-up, structural reform of our welfare system, beginning with denying it to immigrants, legal or illegal, then I can't imagine what might be.

Like a Boss: Brandon Gill Ends an Ayanna Pressley Rant on Women's Rights With One Perfect Question

What's even more amazing, though, is the Democrat's witness, Brendan Ballou. This guy isn't some random activist. He was a special Counsel at the U.S. Department of Justice, Antitrust Division from 2020 to 2025, primarily during the Biden administration. And yet, he somehow is able to parrot that leftist talking point about Somali immigrants somehow making Minnesota "stronger."

How? How does an immigrant population that is on public assistance, taking the taxpayers' money at several times the rate of the native population, make Minnesota stronger? How does an immigrant population, half of whom refuse to learn English, make Minnesota stronger? What, exactly, are these people contributing to make Minnesota a stronger state - or a better place to live, to work, and to raise a family?

This is cognitive dissonance that registers on the Richter scale. And until this problem is resolved, until people from anywhere in the world, Somalia or Sweden, can no longer come into the United States and use our welfare system as a hammock, the numbers Rep. Gill adroitly pointed out won't improve.

How China Made and Shipped Fake Driver’s Licenses to Tamper With the 2020 Election

How China Made and Shipped Fake Driver’s Licenses to Tamper With the 2020 Election

Tim O'Brien

When President Donald Trump talked about some of the things China has done to literally steal our democracy by seeing to it that, in 2020, its Manchurian candidate was elected in the form of a semi-comatose Joe Biden, many of the things he mentioned had already been in the news, but they may not have been covered by the legacy media.

Case in point: Trump mentioned in his July 16 address to the nation that China stole TikTok data to create fake U.S. driver’s licenses.

If you follow conservative media, you may have known this. If you get your news from the legacy media, you most likely didn’t know it, and if you heard it now, you won’t believe it. That’s the group Trump was targeting in his address. His national address strategy was to speak past the legacy media and to begin the process of planting the seeds of the truth in the minds of those who rely on the CNNs, ABCs, and NBCs of the world.

Strategically, Trump is now trying to break through the information barrier that the legacy media and the left have created to keep the majority of Americans in the dark on what’s really happened to corrupt our elections.

A year ago, Brooke Singman published a lengthy piece on the Fox News website that detailed just how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) executed its TikTok data theft scheme. Her primary source for the story was the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is chaired by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa).

The Senate Judiciary Committee launched its own investigation into this after the FBI had announced its own investigation in July 2025. As Singman reported, the CCP allegedly worked to get “fake driver's licenses to Chinese sympathizers in the U.S. who would cast a vote for candidate Biden.”

It is not clear how successful the CCP was in getting its ballots for Biden to count.

In July 2025, a Grassley spokesperson told Fox News, "Chairman Grassley is in receipt of an FBI document (response) to a request he made based on legally protected whistleblower disclosures…. The document alleges serious national security concerns that need to be fully investigated by the FBI.”

As stated in that document, the intent of the alleged scheme was for the People's Republic of China (PRC) to produce and export fraudulent U.S. driver’s licenses to Chinese sympathizers in the U.S., so as to create “tens of thousands of fraudulent mail-in votes for US Presidential candidate Joe Biden, in late August 2020.”

According to the document at the center of these investigations, by August 2020, “the Chinese government had produced a large amount of fraudulent United States driver’s licenses that were secretly exported to the United States,” Fox News reported.

The fraudulent drivers licenses would allow tens of thousands of Chinese students and immigrants sympathetic to the Chinese Communist Party to vote for US Presidential Candidate USPER Joe ((Biden)), despite not being eligible to vote in the United States... China had collected private US user data from millions of TikTok accounts, to include name, ID and address, which would allow the Chinese government to use real US persons’ information to create the fraudulent driver’s license, the document states.

Reporting on the investigation indicates that the fake IDs included true ID numbers and the true addresses of U.S. citizens, which made the fraud difficult to detect.

"China planned to use the fraudulent driver’s licenses to account for tens of thousands of mail-in votes,” according to the document.

What’s not clear is how specifically the PRC accessed the TikTok data and got all the information it needed to create those fake driver’s licenses. TikTok, for example, does not require a physical address when users register for an account.

Did the creators of the fake IDs use the physical addresses of those Chinese sympathizers? This is fuzzy.

FBI Director Kash Patel and Grassley had been working closely on this case prior to the president’s speech on July 16.

In another uncanny development from around the same time, in July 2020, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents at the International Mail Facility (IMF) at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport announced that in the first half of that year, they had seized 1,513 shipments of fraudulent documents, which included 19,888 fake U.S. driver’s licenses. Most of those shipments originated in China and Hong Kong, as well as Great Britain and South Korea.

According to the CBP statement on the matter from 2020, “The driver’s licenses were for various people in different states with a vast majority destined for neighboring states. Most were for college-age students, and other licenses would share the same picture but have different biographical data. Another concern was the bar code attached to the Michigan licenses worked.”

In typical fashion, the Democrats’ propaganda machine known as the Associated Press reported at the time, “There is no evidence to suggest they were linked to voter fraud.” Case closed, I guess.

Maybe leftist newswire Reuters had a different take: “Facebook posts shared thousands of times claim that 19,888 fake driver’s licenses were seized at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport after being ordered by people ‘all registered to vote, all Democrats.’ Suggesting that the licenses were part of a voter fraud conspiracy, this claim is partly false. While it is true that U.S. Customs and Border Protection seized 19,888 counterfeit licenses at O’Hare in late July, they had no apparent connection to Democratic Party registration or the upcoming election.”

So, you can see that in just two instances, the AP and Reuters, they were singing from the same song sheet. "Nothing to see here in the weeks before a presidential election. Keep moving."

Let’s try one more news site just to be fair. Were they all saying the exact same thing to the benefit of the Democrats and Biden in the weeks before the election?

“There’s no hint of any connection between the confiscated fake IDs and Democrats or voter fraud,” wrote the Chicago Sun-Times at the time.

No need to keep looking. The left’s damage control rapid response team made darn sure this story was snuffed out before it became national news and threatened Biden’s chances.

At the end of the day, China will be China. You should expect our adversaries to try to tamper with our elections. Interestingly, they all wanted Biden, and all they got Biden, and so did the legacy media.

What’s most troublesome is how the media so actively sought to kill any curiosity over those fake driver’s licenses from China, even though it was aware of the matter well before election day.

Of course, that pattern has continued. Even with active Senate and FBI investigations since July 2025, you’re more likely to see news of the Taylor Swift-Jason Kelce wedding than you are to see news of how your TikTok data could have been stolen and used by China to try to manipulate an American election.

This is not a bug; it’s a feature of the system. That’s what the Trump administration is up against, and it’s why he’s now taking his case directly to the American people.

You’re going to hear a lot more about this and other election integrity developments in the coming months directly from Trump and his people. If you’re an avid consumer of conservative media, most of this may not be new to you. But you must know that you are not the audience. It’s your cousin, or your aunt, or your coworker who doesn’t start thinking about an upcoming election until the final weeks before voting. It’s the people who still don’t want to believe that their elections may have been corrupted. That’s who the president is trying to reach.
