Democrats’ lies are unraveling — and even the New York Times is calling them out

1 week 3 days ago


Democrats will say just about anything to get elected, and even the New York Times is calling them out for it — starting with Texas Senate candidate James Talarico.

“I was in the classroom right after the legislature here in Texas cut more than $5 billion from our public schools. This was in the wake of the great recession. And so, I saw the impact of those cuts firsthand on my students and my fellow teachers and members of the community on the west side,” Talarico said.

“And at one point, I had 45 kids in one classroom. There weren’t enough desks for all those kids, so I had students sitting on the air conditioning unit,” he added.

Talarico repeated the same story, word for word, in multiple television and podcast appearances.


“Now, it turns out, I hope you’re sitting down for this,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales says, “It turns out that was a lie, like most things that come out of James Talarico’s mouth.”

“The New York Times actually published this, and they said, 'Documents from the Texas Education Agency indicate the most students ever assigned to a class period that Mr. Talarico taught was 30, with most of his classes ranging in size from 22 to 27 students,' which is totally normal in public schools,” she explains.

Talarico’s own colleagues claimed there was no “crowding to the point where students were sitting on air conditioners.”

And even worse, Barack Obama told a similar story in 2012 — that there were 45 kids in a classroom and some were “sitting on the floor.”

But Talarico isn’t the only one the New York Times is calling out.

“They also said that officials during the Obama era, they actually knew that Ilhan Omar married her brother,” Gonzales explains, before reading: “Several current and former law enforcement officials said an Obama-era investigation found some evidence that Ms. Omar had entered into a sham marriage with a man suspected of being her brother.”

“They apparently only decided to not pursue it. As the story goes, because they were like, ‘Oh, it’s outside the five-year statute of limitations,’” she explains.

“Which, I’m just going to go ahead and say if there is a will, there is a way. Do you know who proved that? The Democrats when they found out President Trump was running for office again and decided to throw 91 indictments and 34 felony counts his way,” she adds.

But it keeps going, as the New York Times also reported on Mary Peltola, the Democrat candidate for Senate in Alaska — accusing her of helping the “secret effort to stack Alaska’s ballot.”

And Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El Sayed is no different.

“He has this problem, and the problem is not just that he’s a liar,” Gonzales says.

“He also is linked to the terrorist group Muslim Brotherhood a little too much. Like his ties are a little too terroristy for my taste,” she continues.

“But because he has been linked to the Muslim Brotherhood so much, and his family, actually, they’ve got big family ties, the mainstream media is asking him about this ... because I don’t think anyone believes his weird sidestepping answers,” she adds.

Defense Bill Fight Threatens to End 65-Year Streak

1 week 3 days ago
President Donald Trump's $1.15 trillion defense authorization proposal faces a major fight in Congress as Democrats demand spending cuts and restrictions on military operations against Iran, threatening to end a 65-year streak of passing the annual legislation.

Florida female claims her threat to assassinate Trump was a joke, police say. Now the joke's on her.

1 week 3 days ago


A Florida female was arrested after allegedly threatening to shoot President Donald Trump at his Daytona Beach rally, the Volusia County Sheriff's Office said Friday.

Sheriff Mike Chitwood said 21-year-old Allison Albro of Daytona Beach posted a message Thursday night saying she was "going to the Trump rally in my city [tomorrow] so I can [shoot] him with my Glock. Wish me luck, guys!!"

'She f**ked around and found out.'

Chitwood said as a result Albro "got a visit" from the sheriff's office Domestic Security Unit and the U.S. Secret Service.

"She said she was joking with this post, she doesn’t have access to a Glock or any other weapon, and she would never hurt anyone," the sheriff noted. "Today she’s sitting in jail on charges of written threats to kill and unlawful use of a communications device."

"We are not going to tolerate threats to assassinate the president," Chitwood declared before adding, "I would strongly advise anyone else thinking of posting a 'joke' along these lines to think twice."

Trump is expected to hold his midterm rally at 7 p.m. Friday at the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach, WESH-TV reported, adding that the sheriff's office on Thursday said it would deploy strict security measures in the area ahead of the rally.

Chitwood added that the sheriff's office "continues to work hand in hand with the Secret Service, FBI, and all our law enforcement partners to ensure this presidential visit to Daytona Beach is a safe event for all who attend, and for our whole community."

As you might expect, most commenters under the sheriff's office Facebook post about Albro's arrest have no sympathy for her:

  • "She f**ked around and found out," one commenter wrote. "Deff looks like the norm for doing this crazy crap."
  • "I have no sorrow for dumbass people," another user said. "Hopefully they prosecute her to the fullest extent."
  • "Well, she gets what she deserves," another commenter declared before adding that "anymore you cant trust people or their [threatening] other people, and no way should anyone be [threatening] our president."
  • "What a f**king stupid thing to post," another user stated. "She deserved whatever she got."
  • "Lock her up and throw the key away," another commenter suggested.

11 MILLION accounts breached as new cyberattack rocks this popular gaming company

1 week 3 days ago


Data breaches are a problem for any online company — password managers, banks, and even cybersecurity companies. An industry that doesn’t get a lot of hacking attention is game developers, but these are susceptible too. Take Capcom, which just suffered an attack that left 11.7 million user accounts exposed, and you could be one of them.

Capcom is a seasoned developer that came onto the scene during the arcade golden era in the late ’70s, early ’80s. It brought several huge titles to the world, like "Monster Hunter," "Resident Evil," "Street Fighter," and my personal favorite, "Mega Man."

The Capcom breach is just one of many cybersecurity threats that have hit the web in the last several weeks.

Many of Capcom’s modern games don’t require a special account, known as a Capcom ID, to play offline. However, if you use online multiplayer or spend money on microtransactions within your favorite Capcom titles, a Capcom ID is unavoidable.

A Capcom ID includes all kinds of personal information that you wouldn’t necessarily know it tracks. For instance, it collects your email address when you sign up, as well as the date you created your account. It knows the exact time you last logged in, as well as how many times you’ve logged in over the years. It even marks down the IP address where you last connected to the service — this could be your home, your office, a friend’s place, wherever.

All of this information was exposed.

According to Capcom, the Capcom ID system was breached in mid-October, exposing 11.7 million user accounts to hackers. A small subset of users — only an estimated 193-196 accounts — also had their passwords changed.

Capcom didn’t divulge the cause of the breach and whether it was fueled by some form of virus, brute-force entry, an unknown exploit, or other intrusive measures. The company, however, did say that it is notifying all affected users and that it is taking measures to prevent the further infiltration of its system.

That leaves users behind wondering what’s next. The biggest component in the breach was the mass leak of email addresses. Skilled hackers will likely use these to execute mass phishing campaigns, hoping to trick you into clicking on malicious links in deceptive emails. For these, you should really turn on this browser feature that will give you some extra security when opening emails and surfing the web. It’s designed to identify malicious content on the web in real time, so that can help.

So far, there is no reason to believe that credit card information or passwords were included in the breach. However, if you’re especially concerned, you can always set up purchase alerts so that you know when your credit card is used and how much money was spent with every transaction. You really should do this anyway, after the PHP meltdown last week. You should also consider changing your password to something more complex that you can keep in a trusted password manager.

Unfortunately, the Capcom breach is just one of many cybersecurity threats that have hit the web in the last several weeks. The most significant one, of course, was Black October, where two PHP vulnerabilities threatened to take down the lion’s share of the internet. A week later, some websites, along with your data, could still be at risk. Make sure you follow our guide to secure your accounts, data, and private information.

As AI makes the online landscape more volatile, it’s important to practice good digital hygiene. Make sure you use unique, complex passwords on your most vital accounts, especially your bank account and email addresses. Store your passwords in a trusted password manager. Also, be leery of any suspicious-looking emails or messages you receive. As long as you’re prepared, you don’t have anything to worry about. Just make sure you stay vigilant when you go online.
