Jasmine Crockett drops SHOCKING statement about parents of victim murdered by Karmelo Anthony

3 weeks 4 days ago


Many in the black community have responded negatively to the verdict in the Karmelo Anthony murder trial, but few have reacted as poorly as Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas did.

Anthony was found guilty Tuesday of murdering 17-year-old high school star athlete Austin Metcalf at a track meet in Frisco, Texas, last year. He was sentenced to 35 years in prison.

'It's impossible to have a conversation with people who live in this level of delusion and perpetual fake victimhood.'

The case sparked a bitter debate on social media as some suggested that Anthony was prosecuted unfairly because he is black and the victim was white.

Crockett went even further to insult the parents of Austin Metcalf in order to inflame her fans and supporters.

"Black women, especially black women who have black male children, live in fear and agony every single day, a fear and agony that, I promise you, the Metcalfs probably never spend a day living that way," she said.

"We're gonna have to have just some real conversations about race in this country," she added, "but also just, like, what are we going to do to protect ourselves."

Crockett made the comments on her livestream show, "Clock It with Crockett," which can be viewed on her YouTube channel.

The snippet of her downplaying the Metcalf family's pain was posted to social media, where many reacted with rancor.

"Idolizing skin color has completely robbed you of common sense and decency. How dare you compare just being a black woman to the horror of losing a child," Shemeka Michelle replied.

"Jasmine Crockett believes the mere existence of black women in America is more painful than a white family watching their son murdered and living with that reality. It's impossible to have a conversation with people who live in this level of delusion and perpetual fake victimhood," T.J. Moe responded.

"This is disgusting! They lost their son. They look at their remaining son and see what their dead child would look like if he had a chance to age with him. Can she imagine that?" another user replied.

Crockett failed to secure the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate seat for Texas after running in order to punish Republicans for redistricting the state.

She was beaten by Democratic state Rep. James Talarico, who is now running against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) in the pivotal race that could determine control of the Senate.

Peter Schweizer: Is It Still Election Fraud When It's Legal?

3 weeks 4 days ago

California’s glacial counting of primary election votes is a feature, not a bug. The state’s election laws are deliberately designed to make elections as untraceable and lengthy as possible. As author and investigative journalist Peter Schweizer asks, “If you make election fraud legal, is it still fraud?”

Has the rainbow craze peaked? New poll suggests Americans are rejecting homosexuality

3 weeks 4 days ago


For years, Americans were told the country was moving in only one direction on LGBTQ issues. But a new Gallup poll suggests that trend may be slowing — and in some cases reversing.

Support for same-sex marriage has fallen from its recent high-water mark, while fewer Americans now view gender transitions as morally acceptable than they did just a few years ago. And while Democrats remain the most supportive of LGBTQ issues, Republicans and independents have dropped in their support.

“How do you attribute this decline? What do you think it means?” BlazeTV host Steve Deace asks author Jon Harris.

“I think that the left pushed very hard, and it hurt people,” Harris answers. “And it seems like the right doesn’t get engaged until they’re hurting in some way. If it’s theoretical, let the left have what the left wants. It’s not going to affect my marriage.”


“Unfortunately, it did affect people because three seconds after they pushed for gay marriage, they wanted men in women’s sports, and they wanted to trans your kids. And so I think there was a backlash against it for that reason,” he adds.

Harris believes that if things “continue in the MAHA direction,” that “actually spells doom for the LGBT movement.”

“The whole logic of it is we need to get back to some kind of a created order, some kind of a way that we’re meant to function. And as soon as you start asking those questions, you’re going to start realizing, well, actually, men were made for women, women were made for men,” he explains.

“While I agree theoretically with MAHA is doing things that should light up the broader citizenry and maybe even the church, but the problem is that the church has got to be first and foremost,” co-host Todd Erzen chimes in.

While Erzen believes morality should be why Americans reject homosexuality, Harris points out that it seems like the rejection is coming from an evolutionary perspective.

“If that’s the message, if it’s, ‘We don’t want homosexual marriage because, well, that doesn't conform with science,’ then it’s not about being rooted in the Creator’s design for us in God,” Harris says.

“Unnatural as opposed to immoral,” Deace adds.

Steve Hilton secures spot in California gubernatorial runoff and considers teaming up with Spencer Pratt

3 weeks 4 days ago


Former Fox News host and small-business owner Steve Hilton (R) will face a head-to-head runoff election against former U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra (D) in the California gubernatorial race, according to the Associated Press.

As of Wednesday morning, more than a week after Election Day, California has completed counting 91% of the ballots. Becerra has secured nearly 2.4 million votes, 27.9%, and Hilton received just over 2.1 million votes, 25%. Climate advocate and businessman Tom Steyer (D) trailed in third place with roughly 1.9 million votes, 22.5%.

'He represents that kind of energy we need.'

Steyer released a statement Tuesday conceding to Hilton.

“It’s now clear that we do not have the votes necessary to advance to the general election in November,” he stated. “Today, my message to you is simple: Pay attention. Know what you deserve, and know who is on your side. Understand who the villains are, and say their names out loud. Continue to demand more from your leaders and your government, until they give you the California — and the country — you know you deserve. I will be with you all the way.”

Hilton told KTTV on Tuesday that he would consider teaming up with Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt, who will not be moving on to the November general election.

“Clearly, this city is not doing well, right? We’ve got a massive problem with homelessness. There’s a sense of decay in the city,” Hilton said, referring to Los Angeles.

“The fact that you had a campaign for change that got a lot of energy and excitement, and actually all that energy, all those votes, all those hopes are just now not going to be reflected in the choice in November, I think, is a real problem.”

Hilton criticized the state’s election system, which allows the top two candidates, regardless of their political affiliation, to advance to the general election.

“You’ve got to have a clear choices in elections. That’s why I’m so happy we’ll be there in November. If it was a choice between two Democrats, as we’re now going to have in L.A., I don’t think that’s a choice at all,” Hilton added. “That is a feature of the top-two system.”

While the Los Angeles mayoral race is nonpartisan, both candidates, incumbent Karen Bass and challenger Nithya Raman, are left-leaning.

Hilton commended Pratt for his plan to address the city’s homelessness crisis, which he referred to as “very well thought through.”

“Whatever I can do to help make that happen, including working with him or not, I’m not going to rush it, but I do think that he had some really important things to say,” Hilton continued.

When asked whether he would bring Pratt into his administration, Hilton replied, “Of course. Like a shot, my door would be open.”

Later that day, Hilton told Fox News that he would “100%” consider having Pratt join him on the campaign trail, applauding the mayoral candidate for his “incredible impact.”

“I’d love that. He represents that kind of energy we need,” Hilton said.
