Democrats will stop at nothing for the black vote: 'Apparently now he is African'



Democrats will do anything to get the black vote, and Senate candidate James Talarico is no exception.

“He’s trying to win over the black vote because the black people in Texas, the Democrats at least, are very, very upset that Jasmine Crockett didn’t win. They wanted ... Jasmine Crockett because she was black,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales explains.

“So I think now his tactic to try to win over the black Democrat vote is saying that he’s cool with a little murder as long as it’s a black person carrying out the crime, I guess,” she adds, before playing a clip of Talarico on "The Breakfast Club."

“From Texas, we seen what happened with Karmelo Anthony, and you said it was a tragedy. What did you mean by that?” Talarico was asked.


“Well, I’ve done a lot of work in the state House on justice reform, and right now we’ve got a system that doesn’t serve all Americans equally, and we know that black Texans have not gotten the justice they deserve in many cases,” he responded.

“And you know, I’m not an expert on this particular case, but I know that there were no black members of the jury. And to me, that’s the only evidence you need to really prove that this system is not working for black Texans,” he added.

Adam Johnson, who is well known as January 6th’s “lectern guy,” points out that he went to federal prison for “misdemeanor trespassing.”

“So if it’s about color, if it’s about these things that he’s bringing up, I don’t know. I think a lot of us went to jail and we were very much white when we were there,” he tells Gonzales.

But Talarico isn’t the only Democrat trying to court black voters.

“[Abdul El-Sayed is] actually taking a different approach than James Talarico,” Gonzales says.

“Apparently, now he is African,” she adds, noting that originally she just believed him to be Muslim.

“I am Arab. I’m also African. My family immigrated to this country from Egypt. I’m proud of my African heritage,” he said in a recent press conference.

“So obviously he is like, ‘Oh, well, technically I’m African,’” Gonzales says.

“He’s like, ‘I’m just a plain old black man like you,’” she adds.

DSA leader admits ‘hatred of the United States Constitution’ in viral clip



Unlike the Democrat Party establishment that only pretends to care about the Constitution, the Democratic Socialists of America make no secret of their disdain for America’s founding rule of law.

A viral excerpt from a July 2025 episode of the left-wing "Varn Vlog" podcast captures this unabashed enmity. In it, DSA National Political Committee member (and Marxist Unity Group figure) Cliff Connolly boldly admits the radical faction’s “hatred” of the Constitution.

“So the two things that we're famous for is our commitment to a program and our hatred of the United States Constitution,” he said.

“What the program does is it gives us a road map to revolution, and it gives us the obstacle that we finally will have to get over to have a revolution, which is the United States Constitution, the basis of the United States government,” he added.

“This should be parody, except it's not. It's just actually happening,” says BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales.

Guests Adam Johnson (“the Lectern Guy”) and comedian Davey Jackson share her outrage.

“These people are actually insane, but, you know, we could mock and make fun of them all we want,” says Johnson. “The latest study with a survey said that a third of [Democrats and Democratic-leaning adults] now identify as democratic socialists, so as much as we want to laugh, it's very real.”

He speculates that DSA members and supporters have always hated the Constitution, but they’re boldly admitting it now because they finally “feel strong enough to do it, or they feel cornered enough to where they have to come out now and reveal exactly who they are.”

“Obviously, what they're saying – ‘we hate the Constitution’ — is resonating with some people in America, which is deeply concerning,” adds Jackson.

“It's also deeply concerning that all of the men on that panel are clearly donating their testosterone to the women on the panel,” he jokes, referring to the other people in the video with Connolly.

Sara then plays another video that’s gone viral capturing New York State Assemblywoman and DSA member Emily Gallagher defending what she called “crimes of poverty.”

“People who are stealing things like toothpaste, people who are stealing things like, you know, soap, and that means if you're stealing those things, you need them,” she declared in a speech outside Manhattan Criminal Court.

“And we are choosing to protect billion-dollar companies like CVS and Walgreens over the people who are struggling to get by. So I would say that the true crime is that there is such incredible wealth disparity in this city that there are people who can be thrown in jail simply for having a biological need,” she added.

“Homegirl has eaten,” says Sara, mocking Gallagher’s size, “so I don't think she's the one to talk about disparities here.”

Ellen Page trans-plains 'healthy masculinity'



Transgender actress Ellen Page, who now goes by “Elliot” Page, offered her definition of “healthy masculinity” during a recent interview on “It’s Open with Ilana Glazer” — and unsurprisingly, it’s not very masculine at all.

“We are seeing so much, and I mean our entire lives, we’ve seen so much unhealthy masculinity, so much sickness in this world, specifically through the lens of men,” Glazer began.

“In your gender journey, which to me as someone who knows you, but also as someone consuming you as a public figure, to me you appear healthy and continually finding more health and security,” she continued, asking, “What does it mean to you to hear me say ‘healthy masculinity?’”


“Healthy masculinity to me is, or even just something I’ve felt as transitioning ... for anyone to just you know love themselves, be able to care for themselves, ideally get rest when they can, like just the practical basic: drink water, eat a banana,” Page responded.

“I think it’s just like healthy masculinity could just mean a really good cry,” she added.

“I feel like I know a lot of masculine men, and they aren’t like, ‘It’s just sometimes hugging yourself and having a good cry and drinking some water,’” Gonzales says.

“That actually sounds like the most feminized version that you could possibly get,” she adds.

“I haven’t had a banana since I was like 6,” Adam Johnson replies, adding, “I reject the whole premise of men eating bananas.”

“You’re right, probably not masculine,” Gonzales says. “I’m sorry to all of the men out there who do enjoy bananas, but the act of it, to Adam’s point, probably not very masculine.”

Mystery man connected to the death of hockey player Adam Johnson arrested on suspicion of manslaughter



A couple of weeks ago, Blaze Media published an article about the tragic death of American hockey player Adam Johnson.

During the Challenge Cup game at the Sheffield Arena in England, an opponent by the name of Matt Petgrave crashed into one of Johnson’s teammates. Their collision was so intense that it caused Petgrave to become airborne and his skate to slice the neck of Johnson, who was nearby.

Johnson was taken to the hospital, where he later died as a result of the injury.

For a while, the media called the incident a “freak accident,” but many people have called for Petgrave’s arrest, claiming he’s guilty of recklessness and therefore manslaughter.

Pat Gray, for one, thinks “it’s pretty clear he did this on purpose,” referencing the way Petgrave seemed to intentionally “donkey kick” his skate as it collided with Johnson’s throat.

However, others have been adamant that the ordeal was a total accident. Petgrave was even given a standing ovation during a recent hockey match.

While it initially seemed like Petgrave’s life would move forward with little consequence, there’s been a strange turn of events.

While British police have refused to say exactly who, they have admitted to arresting a person connected to Johnson’s death on suspicion of manslaughter, but Pat thinks it’s obvious that “they arrested Matt Petgrave.”

However, this mystery man has already been released on bail pending further inquiries.

Pat and co-hosts think there’s a chance this could be a cover-up.

Police arrest man 'on suspicion of manslaughter' in relation to on-ice throat cutting of hockey player Adam Johnson



The defenseman whose skate blade fatally slit the throat of 29-year-old Minnesota native Adam Johnson in a English hockey game last month received a standing ovation Sunday during his English team's latest home game. On Tuesday, he appears to have received a manslaughter charge.

The incident

England's Nottingham Panthers and Sheffield Steelers hit the ice for an Elite Ice Hockey League game on Oct. 28 with 8,000 fans in the stands.

Following an on-ice collision, the Steelers' Toronto-born Matt Petgrave, a journeyman enforcer who leads the EIHL in penalty minutes, went airborne. His skate blade cut open the Adam Johnson's neck.

Johnson, who played in 13 games for the Pittsburgh Penguins between 2018 and 2022, attempted to skate back to the bench whilst gripping his opened throat.

Paramedics desperately tried to stabilize the player, but Johnson ultimately succumbed to his wound at Sheffield's Northern General Hospital.

The Panthers noted afterwards they were "devastated" that the Minnesotan had died in what they described as a "freak accident," reported the BBC.

"Adam, our number 47, was not only an outstanding ice hockey player, but also a great team-mate and an incredible person with his whole life ahead of him," said the team. "Everyone at the club including players, staff, management and ownership are heartbroken at the news of Adam's passing."

Johnson’s fiancée, Ryan Wolfe, said he had "the best sense of humor, the biggest heart, the quickest wit, and the kindest soul.

Footage of the incident went viral, prompting some hockey players to speculate about whether the lethal contact may have been intentional.

Former NHL enforcer Sean Avery told Fox News host Jesse Watters that Petgrave hadn't got up in the morning with the intention of "murdering someone today" but indicated the move was not altogether innocent.

"I've watched it, it's terrible, it's tough to watch," said Avery. "Did this kid make a move that was very unorthodox? Do I think he was trying to make contact of some sort? Absolutely."

Chris Therien, former Philadelphia Flyers and Dallas Stars defenseman, wrote on X, "That Bush league needs to shut down for investigation immediately. I was literally appalled and sickened by what I saw. It looked intentional. It was a Kung fu kick. My eyes are not lying tell me I'm wrong."

Marc Methot, another former NHL player-turned-sports analyst, responded, "I refuse to believe the defender targeted that area on purpose, but I do think it was an incredibly reckless attempt at disrupting Johnson's path into the middle ice."

Westin Michaud, one of Johnson's teammates, suggested online, "The unintentional clip of the Panther player's leg by the Sheffield player caused the somersault. It's clear to me his actions were unintentional and anyone suggesting otherwise is mistaken. Let's come together and not spread unwarranted hate to someone who needs are [sic] support."

Morbid applause

The Sheffield Steelers paid tribute to Johnson at their home Utilita Arena Sheffield on Sunday.

According to the BBC, Royal Air Force representatives set a wreath at center ice. Steelers head coach Aaron Fox and Coventry Blaze coach Danny Stewart similarly laid a wreath in the fallen player's memory. The stadium then observed two minutes of silence.

The event appeared to be good natured and respectful; however, when an image of Petgrave was later displayed on the jumbotron, fans leapt to their feet and cheered for the 31-year-old, who was not on the ice Sunday night, reported the New York Post.

The arrest

Days after Petgrave was applauded, South Yorkshire Police indicated that officers investigating the death of Adam Johnson had made an arrest.

Without naming Petgrave outright, the SYP indicated Tuesday they "arrested a man on suspicion of manslaughter. He remains in police custody at this time."

Detective Chief Superintendent Becs Horsfall said in a statement, "Our investigation launched immediately following this tragedy and we have been carrying out extensive enquiries ever since to piece together the events which led to the loss of Adam in these unprecedented circumstances."

"We have been speaking to highly specialised experts in their field to assist on our enquiries and continue to work closely with the health and safety department at Sheffield City Council, which is supporting our ongoing investigation."

Horsfall added, "Adam's death has sent shockwaves through many communities, from our local residents here in Sheffield to ice hockey fans across the world. We know these communities will expect us to handle this investigation with the same professionalism, fairness and sensitivity as any other and request that members of the public refrain from comment and speculation which could hinder this process."

Warning: Graphic content: Video captures exact moment US hockey player was killed on ice



Pat Gray plays the video of U.S. hockey player Adam Johnson’s tragic death during the Challenge Cup game at the Sheffield Arena in England.

Warning: It is not for the faint of heart.

The clip captures the exact moment that sealed Johnson’s doom. An opponent by the name of Matt Petgrave came flying across the ice, crashing into one of Johnson’s teammates. Their collision was so violent that Petgrave’s skate flew up and sliced the neck of Johnson, who was nearby.

Johnson hopped up quickly but then immediately collapsed before a referee helped him skate off the ice. He left a trail of blood in his path.

Currently the media is calling the incident a “freak accident,” but many are skeptical and feel strongly that Petgrave intentionally kicked Johnson when his skate was airborne.

Pat is one of those people.

“How has he not been arrested for murder?” he criticizes.

“Because it’s not murder,” counters Jeffy. “Hockey players get cut all the time on the ice.”

“He purposely raises his leg and slams it into the guy’s neck,” insists Pat.

Police are currently investigating the incident.

Keith, who’s on the fence, says, “I want to know of any kind of interaction whatsoever [and] anything this guy has ever said about Adam Johnson. If there’s anything there, make it available and see if there’s some sort of motive for possible murder.”

For now, people are left to speculate. If you’ve got a strong stomach, watch the clip for yourself and cast your vote.
