Another day, another racist take by Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX).

In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Crockett turned her racist rhetoric toward the Hispanic community during a post-mortem on the comprehensive drubbing faced by Democrats in the 2024 election.

She accused the community of having a ‘slave mentality’ who are ‘barely able to vote.’

From Vanity Fair:

“I’ve not run into that with the Asian community. I’ve not run into that with the African community. I’ve not run into that with the Caribbean community. I’ve only run into it with Hispanics. When they think of ‘illegals,’ they think of, you know, maybe people that came out of the cartels and that kind of, like, the criminal-type book or whatever. It’s insane.”

“It almost reminds me of what people would talk about when they would talk about kind of like ‘slave mentality’ and the hate that some slaves would have for themselves. It’s almost like a slave mentality that they have. It is wild to me when I hear how anti-immigrant they are as immigrants, many of them. I’m talking about people that literally just got here and can barely vote that are having this kind of attitude.”

Crockett adds that Hispanic voters “literally just got here and can barely vote.”

Crockett can not help spewing her race-obsessed tirades.

In early December, during a Congressional hearing, Crockett went on a prolonged anti-white rant during which she complained that despite the state of Texas adding four million people, both those districts had been won by Republicans.

In November,  she went on another rant about how Republicans were attempting to dismantle DEI initiatives and appeared to include herself among all the other black people who had been oppressed in times of slavery.

In October, she also argued that America needs illegal aliens pouring through the border in order to have people to pick the crops.

Yet there is nary a peep from the left-controlled legacy media calling for Crockett to apologize.

As Jonathan Turley notes, “There was no vaporous segment on The View or condemnations on the floor from members.”

The attack on Hispanic voters as including people who “literally just got here and can barely vote” did not even generate objections from many liberal Hispanic groups. Imagine if Trump or a conservative commentator made this comment. https://t.co/T9xmkzad7K

President Donald J. Trump, a man who needs no introduction, took the stage at Turning Point Action’s AmFest convention Sunday with an incredible opening introduction that would give you chills. 

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump’s return to Phoenix marks his first major rally-style speech since the historic November 5 election. It will also likely be Trump’s final major speech before he is Inaugurated on January 20, 2025.

Thousands of supporters lined the streets of downtown Phoenix outside of the Phoenix Convention Center early this morning before sunrise. Many were lined up as early as 1 am local time to see President Trump speak at 10: 30 am.

President Trump to Give First Rally-Style Speech Since Historic Election Victory at America Fest in Phoenix, AZ at 12: 30 ET – MASSIVE Crowd Lines up Before Sunrise

President Trump, introduced by Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action founder Charlie Kirk, took the stage to thunderous applause.

“All of you have worked so hard to get back into the White House in this state. This is the best-performing swing state with a five-and-a-half-point victory,” said Kirk.

“We have all 50 states represented here in this grassroots movement of the greatest American comeback in the history of our country. I truly believe that President Trump, throughout these last couple of years, overcoming all these odds is one of the greatest stories ever told, and let’s just say, Thank you, God, for giving us Donald Trump and giving our country back,” he continued before introducing the 45th and 47th President of the United States.

As Trump prepared to take the stage, a theatrical recap of the last year featured news soundbites showing the evolution of the Trump campaign from being targeted by Biden’s corrupt DOJ to attempts on his life to defying all expectations from the left and attempts to steal the election. Trump secured a landmark victory on November 5, 2024, winning all seven swing states, 312 electoral votes, the national popular vote, and both chambers of Congress. Trump will be the second President in history to serve two non-consecutive terms.

WATCH:

President Trump opened his speech by telling the crowd, “I want to wish everybody a very merry Christmas. They don’t say that too much anymore. We say it.” He further took a victory lap after his landslide victory in all seven swing states, including Arizona, where he won by 187,382 votes. “that was really epic. We won a battle that a lot of people thought was very hard to win,” Trump said. “Remember when I said it: Too Big to rig. We make it too big to rig, we’re going to win,” he added, calling the 2024 election “one of the great political victories in the history of our country.”

Watch below:

Trump: Well, hello, Arizona. It’s great to be here. Nice to win the election— very nice to win. And I want to wish everybody a very merry Christmas. They don’t say that too much anymore. We say it. And when I had all that smoke on the stage, I said, “Hey, are there any steps in front of me? I don’t want to go down. I go down, that would not be good. I want to do that nice and slow.” But I just want to thank you. What a beautiful production this is; what a great job. The whole group does amazing. Turning Point’s been amazing.

It’s really been tremendous numbers of American patriots; it’s really been great. You saw what happened last month; we had Turning Point’s grassroots army—it’s an army. They turned out to vote, and they voted in record numbers, and everybody else voted in record numbers, too, I have to tell you. And we did something that was really epic. We won a battle that a lot of people thought was very hard to win. You know, too big to rig. Remember when I said it: Too Big to rig. We make it too big to rig, we’re going to win. It really was one of the great political victories in the history of our country. And that’s good.

They said, one of the very big radical left newspapers said, the most consequential election in the last 129 years. And I said, couldn’t they have made it a bit longer than that? 129 years, but that’s pretty good. Oh, it’s so nice; we won the popular vote by a lot, by millions and millions. And I used to hear in the first one, we won, and we did great, and they always would say, “While he didn’t win the popular vote, he won the electoral college.” You know, they’d say that. But, we actually did very well then, but we did really well the second time, and this time, we said, To hell with it, we’ve got to just blow ’em away. And that’s what we did. We blew ’em away.

So, we won all seven swing states. Remember, they were saying—well, you know, we did very well in early voting, so we didn’t have to win too much, because we were way ahead—but they said, well, he only has to win two, but we won all seven. Can you believe it, huh? And we carried the great state of Arizona, something not easy for a Republican to do, but it was easy for us to do, and we had more than a six point landslide. That’s called the landslide here. And not only did we reclaim the White House, we also took back the US Senate, and we won the largest popular vote majority for House Republicans in a presidential year since 1928. That’s a pretty good thing. And I want to express by tremendous gratitude to Charlie Kirk; he’s really an amazing guy.

Meanwhile in the Democrat hellhole of California…

California business owners were blindsided by surprise payroll taxes after Governor Gavin Newsom (D) and Democrat legislators failed to repay a $20 billion federal loan.

The state’s Democrats failed to budget properly and repay a $20 billion federal Covid loan back on time so the costs got passed down to unsuspecting business owners who are already taxed to death.

This is after Newsom forced small businesses to close down (many went bankrupt) during the Covid pandemic.

Businesses were hit with an extra $21 per employee in payroll taxes because California’s Democrats didn’t pay the federal loan back.

In 2026, the amount will increase to $42 per employee, in 2027 it will increase to $63 and it will continue to increase an extra $21 per employee until the loan is paid in full.

We just ran payroll. The payroll taxes were 2K higher than calculated. We called the payroll company. They explained (in summary) that California has a budget shortfall, and the federal government wants money back that it lent California for UI that it “lost.” They are making up…

— Chef Andrew Gruel (@ChefGruel) November 20, 2024

KCRA reported:

Businesses across California are now paying more on their payroll taxes to the federal government because of spending decisions the state’s legislature and governor made within the last couple of years.

The state failed to repay on time its $20 billion loan from the federal government that helped with California’s unemployment costs during the pandemic. The state forced businesses to close during COVID-19, leaving many jobless and in need of unemployment pay. State officials have said California ended up paying more than $200 billion in benefits, more than $32 billion of which was the subject of fraud.

California is one of two states (the other New York), that did not pay back the loan with the stimulus money it had received from the federal government. California received $27 billion in stimulus, but state leaders opted to keep it and spend it on other items at a time when they boasted about the state’s nearly $100 billion budget surplus. In 2023, the state faced a budget deficit in the tens of billions of dollars and then was met with the same hurdle in 2024.

Since the state did not pay back the debt within two years, federal law requires the state’s employers to step in and pay up. As of now, each employer, regardless of the number of employees they have and whether they are part or full-time, will pay an extra $21 dollars per employee on their payroll taxes. In 2026, the extra amount will increase to $42, in 2027 to $63, and increase another $21 per employee every year until it’s paid off.

Recall that earlier this year California’s Democrat state senators overwhelmingly voted to pass a bill that would give illegal aliens $150,000 interest-free home mortgage loans.

However, after the California Senate advanced the bill allowing illegal aliens to apply for the state’s first-time homebuyer’s program, the California Department of Finance confirmed the program has no money to give.

The mortgage loan program for illegal aliens wasn’t given any new money after the state budget was agreed to in June.

Governor Newsom was forced to veto the bill because of a lack of funds.

No matter how bad things are in California financially, the state’s Democrats still tried to give money to illegal aliens instead of balancing the budget. And now, because of deliberate mismanagement of the state’s budget, California’s business owners are on the hook for an unpaid federal loan.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is preparing to blow a ludicrous amount of money on an Aspen wedding with his girlfriend Lauren Sanchez.

According to Mail Online, the billionaire business mogul has set aside a staggering $600 million for the ‘Winter Wonderland’ themed event, which will take place just after Christmas.

The report states:

A source familiar with the wedding planning revealed to DailyMail.com that guests are set to arrive in Aspen’s top accommodations including the five-star St Regis Hotel after Christmas Day.

Bezos, the second-richest man in the world, is believed to have also booked up private mansions around the affluent town for his guests.

The wedding is set to be a whole weekend of celebrations, insiders say, including a rumored mountain-top ceremony with spectacular ‘winter wonderland’ views.

Among the frivolities is a buyout at Matsuhisa, sources said. It is an upscale sushi restaurant seating a maximum 180 guests. Bezos and Sánchez have been photographed on several dates at its sister restaurant, Nobu, in Malibu, California.

High-end Aspen wedding planners told DailyMail.com that the secrecy around the event, set to be a society highlight of the year, was likely helped by the couple flying in vendors from around the country to put together their dream wedding day with iron-clad non-disclosure agreements (NDAs).

Bezos met Sanchez while he was still with his ex-wife Mackenzie Scott. The couple later announced their divorce, with Bezos accusing the National Enquirer newspaper of attempting to blackmail him over evidence of their relationship.

The 60-year-old, who is the world’s second richest man after Elon Musk, recently met with Donald Trump at his Palm Beach resort following his stunning election victory to try and patch up the rocky relationship between the two men.

However, relations between them were already improving after Bezos blocked The Washington Post (which he owns) from endorsing Kamala Harris. He has also since committed $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund.

In a recent interview, Bezos said he was “actually very optimistic” about the prospects of a Trump presidency.

“I’m actually very optimistic this time around,” Bezos said in a recent interview. “He seems to have a lot of energy around reducing regulation.

“If I can help do that, I’m going to help him. We do have too many regulations in this country.”

Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump has pulled her name out of contention to serve as the next Senator for Florida.

The incoming president’s decision to tap Senator Marco Rubio as his Secretary of State means that Florida will need a new Senator.

Unlike in other states, Florida law stipulates that this vacancy must be filled by an individual appointed by Governor Ron DeSantis.

This opening had let to speculation that Lara Trump, who is married to Donald Trump’s second son Eric and recently served as co-chair of the Republican National Committee, could be chosen as his replacement.

Lara Trump Steps Down as RNC Co-Chair Amid Growing Speculation of a Florida Senate Bid

Yet in a post on the X platform on Saturday, Lara said she would be removing her name from consideration and teased a “big announcement” that she will make next month:

After an incredible amount of thought, contemplation, and encouragement from so many, I have decided to remove my name from consideration for the United States Senate.

I could not have been more honored to serve as RNC co-chair during the most high-stakes election of our lifetime and I’m truly humbled by the unbelievable support shown to me by the people of our country, and here in the great state of Florida. I have read so many of your kind messages and I cannot thank you enough.

I do have a big announcement that I’m excited to share in January, so, stay tuned.

I remain incredibly passionate about public service and look forward to serving our country again sometime in the future. In the meantime, I wish Governor DeSantis the best of luck with this appointment.

It is currently unclear what changed for Lara Trump, after she previously expressed an interest in filling  the vacancy.

“It is something I would seriously consider,” she said in a recent interview. “If I’m being completely transparent, I don’t know exactly what that would look like.”

DeSantis recently said he expected to make a decision on the appointment by early January.

While DeSantis has not mentioned who is under consideration, Florida’s Lieutenant Governor Jeanette Nuñez has been floated as among the most likely replacements.

Joe Biden withdrew plans to cancel student loan debt for 38 million Americans and blamed “operational challenges.”

“In making this decision, we considered the Department’s ability to implement the proposed rules if they were finalized in a form identical or largely similar to what was included in the NPRM. With the time remaining in this administration, the Department is focused on several priorities including court ordered settlements and helping borrowers manage the final elements of the return to repayment following the Fall 2024 end of the 12-month on-ramp period designed to assist borrowers who were unable to make their payments or who needed more time to access information to determine the right repayment plan for their circumstances,” the Department of Education said on Friday.

In a separate announcement on Friday, Joe Biden approved of an additional $4.28 billion in student loan forgiveness for nearly 55,000 public service workers.

President Trump will immediately unwind Joe Biden’s unconstitutional student loan forgiveness program, Politico reported.

Last month a federal judge gave Joe Biden a win a few weeks before the election and said he can move forward with his student loan forgiveness plan.

US District Judge in Georgia, Randall Hall, a George W. Bush appointee allowed a restraining order against the Biden-Harris Regime’s student loan forgiveness scheme to expire.

However, the Trump Transition team is working to immediately rescind Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan.

“President-elect Donald Trump is poised to pull the plug on President Joe Biden’s yearslong push to cancel student debt for tens of millions of people as Republicans sweep into power in the coming months,” Politico reported.

“Trump transition advisers and outside allies have been discussing ways to quickly unwind the various Biden-era initiatives that offered new or easier paths to loan forgiveness for borrowers, according to two people familiar with the discussions,” Politico reported.

The US Supreme Court last year crushed Joe Biden’s student loan bailout program.

Joe Biden unilaterally announced a massive forgiveness of student loans last August to buy the Gen Z-Millennial vote in the 2022 midterms.

Biden canceled over $400 billion in student loans, which resulted in up to $10,000 in student debt for borrowers who earn $125,000 a year or less and up to $20,000 for recipients of Pell Grants.

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 against Joe Biden’s student loan relief program so the Department of Education rolled out a workaround plan to cancel $39 billion in student loans by counting non-payments as payments for a period of time.

Supporters of Luigi Mangioni are flooding him with love letters and prison spending money as he awaits trial on murder charges.

Mangioni, 26, is currently awaiting trial after being arrested and charged with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

The shocking murder took place outside the Hilton Hotel in Midtown Manhattan on December 5th.

After a manhunt lasting several days, he was eventually spotted at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania and apprehended shortly after.

According to The New York Post, Mangioni has already received 54 emails, 87 physical letters, and 163 deposits into a prison spending account that allows him to purchase snacks and other items.

The report described some of the messages he received:

“Hey Luigi, I’m certain you’ve received countless messages from people all over the world the internet is actually in love with you,” one admirer wrote, according to a partial screenshot she posted on TikTok. The hot-and-bothered fan claimed she offered herself to Magnione [sic] as someone around his age that he could chat with while in jail.

The accused gunman is “fine [as f–k,]” the twisted supporter said, before insisting the Ivy League grad “didnt rlly do anything wrong tbh” [sic] by gunning down father of two Brian Thompson.

“Killing someone that has taken thousands of peoples lives himself is not wrong imo,” she told The Post, echoing a callous stance held by some of Mangione’s die-hard fans.

Another woman gaga for the gunman quivered while recalling sending Mangione a letter plus photos from her recent birthday. “Honestly, it feels cathartic and sexy to want to do something and then do it — I mean writing a letter,” the woman said in a TikTok post.

Thompson’s murder has led to widespread debate about vigilanitism, with many individuals expressing sympathy for Mangioni and saying he was justified on account of the greed of the healthcare industry.

A shock poll carried out this week found that over 40 precent of young people believe the murder was justified, while 41 percent felt it was not.

Mangione waived his extradition to New York in a Pennsylvania courtroom on Thursday, allowing New York City police detectives to escort him back for an afternoon appearance in Manhattan.

Meanwhile, federal prosecutors announced four additional charges against Mangione: murder, use of a weapon equipped with a silencer, and two counts of stalking. These charges come on top of the 11 state charges already filed by the Manhattan district attorney.

If convicted on all charges, he may be eligible for the death penalty.
