Trump on Truth: “ I am going to lead a movement to get rid of MAIL-IN BALLOTS…”

I am going to lead a movement to get rid of MAIL-IN BALLOTS, and also, while we’re at it, Highly “Inaccurate,” Very Expensive, and Seriously Controversial VOTING MACHINES, which cost Ten Times more than accurate and sophisticated Watermark Paper, which is faster, and leaves NO DOUBT, at the end of the evening, as to who WON, and who LOST, the Election. We are now the only Country in the World that uses Mail-In Voting. All others gave it up because of the MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD ENCOUNTERED. WE WILL BEGIN THIS EFFORT, WHICH WILL BE STRONGLY OPPOSED BY THE DEMOCRATS BECAUSE THEY CHEAT AT LEVELS NEVER SEEN BEFORE, by signing an EXECUTIVE ORDER to help bring HONESTY to the 2026 Midterm Elections. Remember, the States are merely an “agent” for the Federal Government in counting and tabulating the votes. They must do what the Federal Government, as represented by the President of the United States, tells them, FOR THE GOOD OF OUR COUNTRY, to do. With their HORRIBLE Radical Left policies, like Open Borders, Men Playing in Women’s Sports, Transgender and “WOKE” for everyone, and so much more, Democrats are virtually Unelectable without using this completely disproven Mail-In SCAM. ELECTIONS CAN NEVER BE HONEST WITH MAIL IN BALLOTS/VOTING, and everybody, IN PARTICULAR THE DEMOCRATS, KNOWS THIS. I, AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, WILL FIGHT LIKE HELL TO BRING HONESTY AND INTEGRITY BACK TO OUR ELECTIONS. THE MAIL-IN BALLOT HOAX, USING VOTING MACHINES THAT ARE A COMPLETE AND TOTAL DISASTER, MUST END, NOW!!! REMEMBER, WITHOUT FAIR AND HONEST ELECTIONS, AND STRONG AND POWERFUL BORDERS, YOU DON’T HAVE EVEN A SEMBLANCE OF A COUNTRY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Being Lectured on Honesty by Criminals and Sociopaths in Power

California Gov. Gavin Newsom angrily demanded information Sunday about a U.S. Border Patrol raid outside a rally in downtown Los Angeles on Thursday during his rally to gerrymander the state’s congressional seats.

In what universe does a Communist twit in the People’s Republic of California get to lecture anyone on election rigging? If this snowflake disguised as a savage in a suit ever gets control of America’s federal government, one can only hope: THIS MEANS WAR.

*******

Two types of Americans: Those who believe the media; those who don’t.

The “news media” reports it as “Social Security cuts in benefits” when the Trump administration removes people who are not citizens, people who are dead, or people who never existed from the database.

Why doesn’t the media report what a dismal job the government does with insurance plans financed by hyperinflation, borrowing and coercive membership? If a private sector retirement plan generated the puny returns of Social Security, its officials would be in prison for theft and fraud.

We should privatize Social Security as quickly as possible and never, ever let the government get involved in insurance programs. As for the so-called news media? They’re an ignorant, deceitful bunch of frauds. They are propaganda mouthpieces for the elites who keep America from prosperity and freedom.

*******

Headline: “Air Canada strike continues as flight attendants reject government return-to-work order.”

I wonder if the Canadian government will retaliate by freezing the strikers’ bank accounts? That’s what they did to people who opposed the vax mandates. Totalitarianism is forever.

Trump says Zelenskyy can end Russia war ‘almost immediately’ before hosting seven European leaders

President Donald Trump said Sunday that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy could end the war with Russia “almost immediately” if he wanted. 

Trump’s comments come ahead of his scheduled meeting with Zelenskyy and several European leaders in Washington, D.C. on Monday.

“President Zelenskyy of Ukraine can end the war with Russia almost immediately, if he wants to, or he can continue to fight,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social. “Remember how it started. No getting back Obama given Crimea (12 years ago, without a shot being fired!), and NO GOING INTO NATO BY UKRAINE. Some things never change!!!”

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, and Finnish President Alexander Stubb confirmed Sunday they would attend the meeting in Washington.

Their joint presence underscores Europe’s push to present a united front as Russia’s war drags on.

Zelenskyy met von der Leyen in Brussels ahead of the Trump talks to set priorities for the White House meeting, focusing on long-term military aid, Ukraine’s EU ambitions, and bolstering transatlantic solidarity against Russian aggression.

Von der Leyen said at a joint press conference she was glad to join Zelenskyy and other leaders in Washington on Monday.

Trump called it a “great honor.” 

Big day at the White House tomorrow. Never had so many European Leaders at one time. My great honor to host them!!!” he said in another post on Truth Social.

The Fake News has been saying for 3 days that I suffered a ‘major defeat’ by allowing President Vladimir Putin of Russia to have a major Summit in the United States,” Trump said in another post. “Actually, he would have loved doing the meeting anywhere else but the U.S., and the Fake News knows this. It was a major point of contention! If we had the Summit elsewhere, the Democrat run and controlled media would have said what a terrible thing THAT was.”

“These people are sick! They even want CRIME IN D.C., and other BLUE Cities throughout our Country, but don’t worry, I won’t let that happen,” the president continued. “Just like our now secure Southern Border (ZERO illegals in last 3 months!), our cities will be Secure and Safe, and D.C. will lead the way!”

Zelenskyy’s White House meeting follows Trump’s summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage on Friday, where Trump dropped his ceasefire demand and urged a final peace deal.

After meeting with Putin, Trump said the Russian leader was willing to end the war in exchange for key Ukrainian territorial concessions. He added that Kyiv should take the deal because “Russia is a very big power, and they’re not.”

Zelenskyy and European leaders consistently reject proposals to surrender Ukrainian land to Russia.

The ‘I’ve Had It’ Women Shows Why Democrats Have Lost America

The Democrat party has a branding problem that no amount of spin or slick marketing can fix. It is not just about policy failure, though inflation, a porous border, and international weakness all weigh heavily on voters’ minds. 

The deeper crisis is cultural: the Democrats have transformed themselves into a party that sneers at ordinary people, particularly working-class whites and the very nonwhite voters they once claimed to champion. Nothing illustrates this better than the antics of Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan, the cohosts of the I’ve Had It podcast.

Welch, an interior designer, and Sullivan, a divorce lawyer, are not household names in the traditional sense. Their careers began in the world of reality television. Both were featured on Bravo’s Sweet Home Oklahoma before they pivoted into podcasting, where they now revel in mocking political opponents with a tone of smug superiority.

The I’ve Had It flashpoint came this month, when Welch unleashed a tirade against white Trump voters during a segment that quickly went viral. Her words dripped with disdain: she declared that “white people that triple Trumped” should be banished to Cracker Barrel and barred from enjoying multicultural restaurants, gay-owned businesses, or anything else she associates with progressive diversity. “Take your ass to Cracker Barrel,” she sneered.

For many conservatives, the moment crystallized everything wrong with today’s Democrat party. The comments were not merely a joke, nor just another celebrity hot take. They embodied the contemptuous way well-off, well-“educated” liberals view ordinary white Americans, especially men, who form the backbone of Trump’s base.

When a Democrat-leaning cultural figure mocks white Republican voters as too backward to eat tacos or get a haircut from a gay barber, it feeds directly into the narrative that Democrats are an elitist, condescending party that loathes the very people who make up much of the nation.

The numbers confirm the backlash. By March, NBC News reported that only 27 percent of Americans viewed the Democrat party favorably, the lowest mark since 1990. The Wall Street Journal recorded a 63 percent unfavorable rating, the worst in thirty-five years. Voters were not just souring on policy—they were rejecting a cultural tone that treated them as ignorant rubes.

Welch and Sullivan did not arrive at this posture by accident. Their show has built an audience on a steady stream of ridicule targeting Trump supporters. In a July 17 episode called “Supremely Screwed,” they derided conservatives as blindly loyal to a corrupt judicial system. Just days later, an episode titled “Muffin-Top MAGA” mocked Trump voters as overweight and sexually undesirable. 

On July 24, they referred to the MAGA movement as a “big cult” with “little brains.” By July 29, their sneering escalated into crude nicknames for Trump himself in “President Taco Tits.” On July 31, they mocked evangelical Christians in “MAGA Christians SUCK,” ridiculing prayer groups as terrifying relics of the past.

Each of these episodes struck the same chord: open contempt for the very Americans who built and sustained the Democrat party for most of the twentieth century. These are the voters who once formed the backbone of Franklin Roosevelt’s coalition, the union men and small-town families whose lives centered on hard work, church, and community. When Democrats ridicule those values, they hand Republicans a gift.

Even more damaging is how this elitism is concentrated in one demographic: college-educated white women. They have become the driving force of the Democrat party since the Dobbs decision overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, with 71 percent supporting abortion rights. Their influence has pushed Democrats deeper into progressive cultural battles while sidelining concerns about jobs, crime, and immigration. 

By 2020, college-educated whites—led by women—had overtaken non-college-educated whites inside the party. By 2025, one-third of all Democrats were college-educated women, with their stances on climate change and abortion dominating the party platform.

This shift explains much of why Democrats have lost touch with other Americans. In 2024, Kamala Harris held an 18-point lead among white college graduates, particularly women, underscoring their dominance inside the party. But their priorities often clash with those of black and Hispanic voters, many of whom hold more moderate or conservative views on immigration, meritocracy, and family structure. Indeed, The Hill reported that Democrats’ leftward turn, led by progressive white women, alienated minority voters last year.

The result is a Democrat party that represents neither the working-class whites it insults nor the minority voters it takes for granted. Instead, it is the party of urban elites who attend climate conferences, performatively check their “privilege,” and sneer at anyone who eats at Cracker Barrel. 

No wonder its favorability ratings have collapsed. A Quinnipiac poll in January 2025 put Democrats at 31 percent favorable and 57 percent unfavorable. By March, CNN recorded only 29 percent favorability, the lowest since 1992. Axios later concluded that Democrats were facing their deepest popularity crisis in half a century.

Podcasters like Welch and Sullivan are not isolated voices. They are the cultural megaphones of this new Democrat ethos. Their mocking tone, crude humor, and outright disdain for white conservatives reflect the worldview of a party that has abandoned the kitchen table for the faculty lounge. While they may amuse the closed-minded “liberal” enclaves of Brooklyn or Santa Monica, their words sound like nails on a chalkboard to the farmers, truck drivers, and small business owners of the heartland.

Republicans, by contrast, have seized on this alienation, using Trumpian populism to not only galvanize the whites I’ve Had It loathes, but the minorities “elite” Democrat politics left behind. Those voters are not just choosing Trump because of slogans or rallies; they are reacting to a political culture that tells them their beliefs are bigoted, their families are backward, and their very identities are laughable.

The story of I’ve Had It is, in the end, a parable of the Democrat party’s unraveling. A pair of reality-TV alumnae turned podcast hosts spend their days mocking millions of Americans, while their words circulate across media outlets from BuzzFeed to Fox News. The backlash grows. Poll numbers sink. Democrats look increasingly like a party of wealthy urban women lecturing everyone else about what they can eat, where they can shop, and which barber they should visit.

If Democrats wish to understand why they are suffering historic defeats, they need only listen to Welch and Sullivan. Their contempt is not hidden. Their disdain is not subtle. It is the sound of a party talking down to America. And America is tuning out.

Why are Academics–and Others–so Mean ?

e all know that our universities are the very last place to go if you want a free and open discussion of ideas. Only approved progressive ideas are permitted, and don’t you forget it.

Nothing new really. I’m reading 1491: New Revelations of the Americas before Columbus at the gym, and author Charles C. Mann is describing wars to the death fought by academics over the decades about various migration theories in the Americas and the all-important question of when modern humans first arrived here. There’s the Clovis theory:

The “Clovis First” theory posited that the Clovis people, identified by their distinctive stone tools found near Clovis, New Mexico, were the first humans to colonize the Americas, arriving around 13,500 years ago via the Bering Land Bridge.

The academicians were arguing over whether the Americas were populated by humans before the last Ice Age when the sea level dropped enough for humans to be able to walk across the Bering Strait.

Divided the academics may be, but they are united in sneering at the efforts of amateurs grubbing around in the dirt on their farms and backyards without the trifecta of formal qualifications, government grants, and approved methods of analysis.

It’s odd how humans fight to the death over ideas. I get the necessity of fighting to the death on the border against those who would dispossess and despoil us and rape our women. But why do religions all seem to agree upon the necessity of eliminating heretics? Is heresy a life-or-death issue? That goes in spades for our modern secular religions like communism. And why do all political regimes wage war on the opposition? Why do academics insist that all the professors in the university department hew to the same ideology of logic and reason and damn to Hell the professors of another university that profess the heresy of another ideology of logic and reason?

Here’s Matt Johnson, a devoted regime supporter at Quillette and he’s writing about “Trump and the Necessity of Democratic Struggle.” Democratic struggle is okay when it’s Martin Luther King “demanding equal rights and dignity under the law,” but not when “one group demands special privileges on the basis of race, religion, or some other exclusive tribal characteristic.” You know who he is talking about:

This is a central feature of Donald Trump’s MAGA movement, which explicitly calls for the elevation of some citizens and the marginalisation of others.

Now I suppose if I were a college professor and a credentialed grantee of the Grant Industrial Complex, I would be outraged at the very idea of a MAGA movement: who do those far-right racists think they are! But really, does Matt not see that the last 60 years has been a non-stop movement by liberals to call “for the elevation of some citizens” — regime-approved oppressed peoples — “and the marginalization of others” — regime-identified white oppressors? No, he doesn’t.

Let us advance a theory to explain politics, religion, and academia, in One Big Beautiful Theory.

Even though Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt differentiates between the political and the moral, writing that the political is about friends vs. enemies, and the moral is about good vs. evil, I think that it is clear that the worlds of politics and religion have usually intermingled down the ages. Let’s face it: friends are good, and enemies are evil. Political leaders always claim the support of God or the gods in their existential fight against the enemy. And religious leaders often need to deploy force in order to protect their church members from the evils of heretics and the eternal problem of the witches.

Where do our academic friends fit into this witches’ brew? It’s simple, really. Universities down the ages used to be there for the education of priests, and to keep the heretics out. Then, with the rise of the educated class, all good people decided that political leaders needed an education in modern philosophy, and eventually even economics. Then, in the Napoleonic Wars the Prussians decided that, after two centuries of being beaten to a pulp by the French, the German people needed the research university to make Germany strong.

So, academics have been politics-adjacent and religion-adjacent since olden times. They have adopted the culture of politics and spend all their days fighting ideological enemies, and also the culture of religion, eternally beating the bushes for evil heretics and MAGA witches. They can’t think of anything better to do?

Now I believe that nothing is absolute. I believe, following Kant, that we cannot know things-in-themselves. But here’s a peculiar thing. Christianity has its Trinity. The first A-bomb was tested at Trinity Site. And quantum mechanics’ notion of quarks is all about the triplet. What is going on here? Is that the secret of the Universe? Three? They told us it was 42.

Zelensky Sending Millions to UAE in Anticipation of Possible Exile

I reported over a week ago that Zelensky and his cronies started wiring out $50 million chunks to hidden accounts in the UAE in anticipation that Trump will push through a peace deal, and that means Zelensky can no longer prevent elections. Ukraine remains the MOST corrupt country in the world. The only question has been how much was being redirected to the Democrats to defeat Trump and the Neocons.

There is NO WAY Zelensky can stay in Ukraine. He will be dragged out in the streets and crucified, as they have been doing to some Russian soldiers, and set on fire. He will flee somewhere, I suspect the UK, where Starmer will protect him at least as long as the Labor Party can retain power against the rising star of Nigel Farage.

I didn’t expect this story to break so quickly, given the bias of the Western Press who kiss the dirt that Zelensky walks on no less than the bottom of his shoes. It is now making headlines around the world. Granted, I had this info nearly a month ago. I’m still impressed that they even published it. I reiterate my recommendation. Zelensky should be arrested for fraud, the Ukrainian people should be allowed to vote and decide their own fate, and the Minsk Agreement should be enforced. This is the ONLY possible way to stop this insanity.

One reader said the US should join forces with Russia against the EU and NATO, and perhaps then they would back down and reform the economy instead of seeking a diversion. That would be a bold step for mankind. I doubt anyone has that sort of guts.

Is the Superbowl Headed to London ?

A Super Bowl not being played on American soil has never felt more likely with the NFL’s international expansion of regular season games, with London making a strong case through British ambassador to the United States Peter Mandelson.

London’s Wembley Stadium has hosted regular-season NFL games for a decade, with it always being mentioned for the loftiest of the league’s expansion goals for an actual franchise.

While Mexico City, Toronto, and Munich would also love to be in the race to host arguably the biggest annual game on the world’s sporting calendar, Mandelson’s case gives England’s capital city a possible leg up.

‘I’ve made a big pitch for the first Super Bowl outside the US to take place in Britain,’ he told the Chicago Council on Global Affairs on Thursday, per The Times.

Mandelson’s assertion came as he asked if there were any workers from the NFL in the audience.

‘I want that Super Bowl in Britain. I don’t care when it takes place but I want it announced while I’m ambassador. We love it, we love it.’

Mandelson has only served as the ambassador since February, taking the role under President Donald Trump less than a month after the American took back the White House.  

The earliest London could host the Super Bowl would be 2029, as the sites of the next three editions have already been announced by the NFL. 

Levi’s Stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers, will host the game in February, with it staying in California in 2027 in Inglewood, home of the Los Angeles Rams.

Atlanta will host the 2028 edition at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, with a few cities already positioning to try and get the 2029 edition. 

Nashville’s new NFL stadium will open in 2027 and looks destined to host a Super Bowl over the next decade. Las Vegas wants the game back after hosting it in 2024. 

Minneapolis is a longshot despite a glitzy new gridiron venue by being in a cold-weather city. 

London weather by may grim in early February as well, but NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell breaking ground with an international championship game may make bringing the game overseas too exciting to pass up.

Degeneracy, Progressive Neo-Puritanism, And The Little Sisters of the Poor

By M. Walter

Forcing nuns—nuns!—to buy birth control (in the form of Obamacare medical insurance) should have been the canary in the coal mine of progressives’ vile, out-of-control authoritarianism. And to a large extent, in the center-right media space, it got the attention it deserved, but it truly deserved a deeper and wider audience, for it was a blinding flashpoint in the whole groin-focused-”reproductive-care”-gay-marriage-”gender-fluid”-what-are-your-pronouns arc launched in earnest during the Obama era.

Last November, when analyzing why Kamala lost, Clarice Feldman summed it up brilliantly:

For some reason I keep thinking about the saga of the Little Sisters of the Poor, beginning back at the end of the second Obama administration. It had, in miniature, the key elements of liberal political psychology that afflicted the Biden administration and the Harris campaign: the compulsive aggression and imprudence of liberal government, which ends up defeating itself through the inability to exercise even a modicum of political self-restraint, combined with the total inability of the aggressors to understand why anyone could doubt their rectitude. [Emphasis added.]

The American people are a great and good people with a deep sense of fairness. Whatever else we are, we are that. It’s ingrained within us. We fled the divine right of kings. We have intense discomfort with some people, who, simply by dint of blood, claim to have been born “superior” to us, having special rights we don’t have and can never get. The British pomp and circumstance is all very entertaining, but that’s them, not us.

Some of us (mostly women) might occasionally fancy watching a “fairy tale” of a royal wedding on television, but princes and kings? For real? Fairy tales are where they belong. We blew that clambake. We work for a living and dream big. We can each be our own kings (and queens), thank you very much. We earn it. Oh, and you’d better have a good reason for getting all up in my business, Mr. Big Government, or you’ll hear us complain loudly about it.

The Little Sisters of the Poor did complain…loudly. They complained all the way to the Supreme Court, and won (mostly), but not completely. Two blue states are still coming after them!

The above tweets are part of a much longer thread about how Democrats have been trying to force nuns to fund abortion.)

This level of authoritarianism needs a name: Progressive Neo-Puritanism. They are the Puritans of the 21st century. They will shun you, cancel you, and punish you if you do not comply. And they mean this on a nationwide basis, and that is their problem.

Our fifty laboratories of liberty are merely hubcap-popping speed bumps on their frenetic way to Progressive Utopia. Hence their need, their relentless drive, to get the Supreme Court to affirm things they haven’t been able or willing to get the Hill or the states to affirm through legislation, which is how it’s supposed to be done here in America.

We use the term “slippery slope” a lot. It’s a “slippery slope” indeed.

First, it was “tolerance,” right? Then “coexist.” Then it was legal “domestic partners.” Then came Obergefell with gay marriage. Almost immediately, there were articles in Salon and other left-wing organs talking about “throuples.” Then there were celebratory articles about women “marrying” trees, or their dogs, or themselves! Then came “gender fluidity” and the insistence on pronouns. Then they came for the nuns. And then…

…they came for our kids. Their “gender fluidity.” Their mutilation while they were still developing. Then came the drag-queen story hours in public schools for kids who hadn’t even begun puberty, much less finished it. And the books they publish! Have you seen “Gender Queer”? Good gravy. It’s pornography for kids. On and on… It has done nothing but grow more and more degenerate and dangerous to innocence.

Then, when we complain that we, as parents, should have a say over what our schools are teaching about sex and all things sex-related, we are vilified, shunned, canceled, and punished. Biden’s FBI sends agents to school parking lots to record license plate numbers of the parents who are complaining.

Somewhere along the way, “tolerance” of all their crazy ideas became an insistence on endorsement. They demanded we not merely, silently, just live and work alongside them. Somewhere along the way, that became insufficient. Silence became “violence.”

They needed us to endorse their insanity with compliance, like the whole pronoun thing. Certainly like Obergefell. Which, may—may—get a rehearing at the Supreme Court this fall, thanks to the Kentucky clerk who went to jail (for a few days) a decade ago for not issuing a wedding license to a gay couple because it violated her sincerely held religious beliefs.

I don’t know exactly when tolerance transmogrified into endorsement, but it’s corrosive. It’s got to stop. Compelled speech, compelled expression, is profoundly anti-American.

Liberals used to understand this during the Vietnam era with “conscientious objectors.” Nowadays, they want to force doctors to perform abortions even when it violates everything they hold morally dear.

How is this not “authoritarian”? How is this not just reflexive obedience to the Church of Progressive Orthodoxy? How vile. Can you imagine? Being a physician, a healer—“first do no harm”—being forced into this gruesomely evil scenario? Yet progressives are just fine with it.

Well, I’m not fine with it. Never have been. Never will be. Thank God the right candidate won last November, or we’d be seeing acolytes to the Church of Progressive Orthodoxy insinuating themselves and their insane beliefs into every little nook and cranny of our lives right now. We can only hope Trump can get the swampy RINOs on the Hill to codify much of his agenda into law so we don’t have to fear what comes after him. Maybe they can start with some legislation to relieve The Little Sisters of the Poor.

Dept of State is Now Importing “Gaza Refugees”

State Department Abruptly Halts Visa Releases for Gazans After Loomer Exposes Shocking Footage of Refugees Shipped Into America

The U.S. State Department has suspended all visa releases for individuals from Gaza after investigative journalist Laura Loomer exposed shocking footage of Palestinian “refugees” being quietly brought into the United States, allegedly under the guise of humanitarian visas.

Loomer posted video evidence on X showing Palestinian nationals claiming to be “refugees” arriving in U.S. airports, including San Francisco, Houston, Texas, St. Louis, Missouri, and Ohio.

According to her report, these individuals were assisted by a group called Heal Palestine.

Loomer wrote on X:

“Despite the US saying we are not accepting Palestinian “refugees” into the United States under the Trump administration, I have obtained video footage of Palestinians who claim to be refugees from Gaza coming into the United States via San Francisco and Houston, Texas this month. The Palestinians traveled from Gaza to the US with the help of a group called “Heal Palestine”.

How did Palestinians get Visas under the Trump administration to get into the United States? Did @StateDept approve this? How did they get out of Gaza? Is @SecRubio aware of this?

Who from the State Department is assisting “Heal Palestine”?

Why are any Islamic invaders coming into the US under the Trump admin?

Who approved the visas? How many more are being given visas to come into the US, and why are @GavinNewsom @GregAbbott_TX harboring Palestinian “refugees” in California and Texas?

This is a national security threat. We didn’t vote for more Islamic immigration into the United States.

Who signed off on these visas? They should be fired.”

The group facilitating the entries, Heal Palestine, describes itself as a nonpolitical, nonreligious U.S.-registered nonprofit founded in 2024 to deliver “urgent relief and long-term support” to Palestinians.

According to investigative X user Data Republican, Heal Palestine filed a 990-N (meant for charities under $50K in revenue) while receiving grants well over that threshold.

According to Data Republican:

“Heal Palestine (the group who is posting about welcoming Gaza refugees) has EIN 882454707 and filed a 990N for the year 2023. Yet, 990Ns are for charities with revenues under 50K and I found multiple instances of 50K+ grants.

Heal Palestine’s board is full of technocrats … but perhaps most telling is that there is a Mohanned Awad on the board who is publicly declared as bringing “UAE connections to HEAL’s Board.”

Steve Sosebee, the founder of Heal Palestine, also founded the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF). They too got an enormous cash influx boost starting in 2023.”

Data Republican added:

“Today, the arrival of Palestinian refugees in the United States made social media rounds, and it was discovered to be the efforts of an organization called Heal Palestine.

Heal Palestine is led by Steve Sosebee, the same individual who previously partnered with the now-dismantled Holy Land Foundation (HLF), a U.S.-based charity founded by the Muslim Brotherhood shut down after being convicted of funneling millions of dollars to Hamas.

Sosebee was part of HLF’s fundraising operation.

His role: transport injured Palestinian children to the U.S. for care — explicitly picked to elicit sympathy.

HLF’s role: handle donor outreach, press, and scheduling.

The arrangement: HLF took 60% of the donations; Sosebee took 40%.

This was a coordinated financial pipeline to Hamas, a partnership between a U.S. nonprofit and the Muslim Brotherhood’s American fundraising 

That was approximately twenty years ago and Sosebee somehow avoided DoJ scrutiny in the Holy Land Foundation case. And now the optics of these Palestinian refugees arriving in the USA are identical.

So, to whom is that 60% going to this time?”

Florida State Rep. Randy Fine blasted the revelations uncovered by Loomer:

“I am troubled by reporting uncovered by Laura Loomer that indicates that Gazans are being allowed into the United States. If true, this is absolutely unacceptable.

My office will be working with the relevant authorities to confirm the truth, understand how it happened, and seek immediate expulsion.”

Loomer confirmed she has already spoken directly with Fine, and that Senator Tom Cotton’s office is also investigating how these visas were granted.

After Loomer’s footage went viral and congressional pressure mounted, the State Department released a statement:

“All visitor visas for individuals from Gaza are being stopped while we conduct a full and thorough review of the process and procedures used to issue a small number of temporary medical-humanitarian visas in recent days.”
