Things Have Gotten So Bad For Katie Porter’s Campaign She’s Losing To Guy Not Even In Race
'She has potentially annihilated her chances'
Pam Bondi presses Democrat over hypocritical demand: 'You sure didn't have order that day, did you, Senator?'
Attorney General Pam Bondi had a fiery exchange with several Democrats, including Sen. Alex Padilla (D) of California, during her congressional testimony on Tuesday.
Bondi and Padilla sparred when the attorney general called out the Democrat for hypocritically demanding "order" during Tuesday's hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee. The two had a tense back-and-forth before Padilla called for order during the hearing despite repeatedly interrupting Bondi whenever she attempted to respond to questions.
'You stormed the director of Homeland Security.'
Padilla initially asked Bondi whether she thought FBI Director Kash Patel is "doing a good job."
"I believe Director Patel is doing a great job," Bondi said.
Bondi then tried to turn the tables, asking, "You know where he is right now, Senator Padilla?" At that point, Padilla tried to interject, but Bondi continued with her thought.
"You asked me a question!" Bondi said after Padilla began talking over her. "Director Patel is in Chicago right now ... fighting to keep Chicago safe."
Padilla continued talking over the attorney general, yet repeatedly called for "order" before Bondi eventually unloaded on the Democratic senator.
"You know, you want 'order' here now, yet you stormed the Director of Homeland Security Kristi Noem," Bondi said. "You sure didn't have order that day, did you, Senator?"
Padilla quietly attempted to dismiss Bondi's claims, despite extensive video evidence depicting his disruptive confrontation with Noem and subsequent detainment back in June.
Padilla originally confronted Noem during a Los Angeles press conference in June about the ongoing protests and riots against Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids. Padilla burst into the conference and rushed toward the podium before he was forcefully removed.
Noem claimed she chatted with Padilla after the press conference and even exchanged phone numbers with him, Bill Melugin of Fox News reported at the time. According to Melugin, Noem characterized their conversation as "cordial and beneficial."

Democrat ‘men’ get EMOTIONAL during pathetic pandering sessions
Some of the easiest ways for Democrats to pander to their audience are to entertain the idea of Trump’s impeachment or to tear up while discussing illegal aliens — which is why two senators couldn’t help themselves when recent opportunities to do just those two things arose.
“Why are there no calls for impeachment? This is unacceptable. I will not live in an authoritative country, and neither will any of these people. You can do more. I like you, and I will vote for you if you are brave and you do what we need. We need him impeached. We need him removed,” a woman said passionately to Senator Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) at a town hall.
“There is no doubt that this president’s conduct has already exceeded any prior standard for impeachment by the United States House of Representatives. I agree with you. But as I said at the beginning, I also have no choice but to be candid with you about the situation,” Ossoff responded.
Ossoff went on to claim that to impeach, Democrats must “have a majority in the United States House of Representatives."
“He just laid it out right there,” executive producer and co-host of “Pat Gray Unleashed” Keith Malinak says. “You give Democrats power, we will impeach President Trump regardless of what the issue is.”
Joining Ossoff in his delusion is Senator Alex Padilla (D-Calif.), who staged a theatrical display of fake tears while protesting America’s stance on deportations.
“Trump has gone too far. Even for his own supporters. When a father of three U.S. Marines is violently beaten and detained. When U.S. citizens are arrested for no other offense than the color of their skin,” Padilla said, close to tears.
“When a farm worker falls to their death during an ICE raid, we know it’s gone too far. Americans deserve a better path forward,” he continued, before introducing his new amnesty plan that would allow illegal immigrants amnesty after living in the U.S. for seven years.
“We’re going to reward you for living in the shadows successfully for seven years,” Malinak comments.
Gray takes Padilla’s plan a step further, joking, “If you’ve been breaking our laws for 20 years, we’re going to give you a new house.”

Democrats who locked down America during COVID now cry dictator over Trump's deportations
The same Democrats who crushed American freedoms with tyrannical COVID lockdowns are now latching on to the "dictator" narrative against President Donald Trump as they fight to shield illegal aliens, including those who committed additional crimes in the U.S., from the administration's immigration enforcement measures.
On June 14, No Kings held thousands of protests nationwide, highlighting the left's baseless portrayal of Trump as an authoritarian dictator with unchecked power. The demonstrations were primarily provoked by disapproval of the administration's deportation push.
'We need #ShutdownNYC now.'
Just weeks earlier, a riot broke out in Los Angeles over Trump's immigration crackdown, where protesters flooded the streets waving Mexican flags and some individuals even set vehicles ablaze.
Meanwhile, the left accused Trump of overstepping his authority by deploying National Guard troops to California to prevent further destruction and violence as Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom and Democrat Mayor Karen Bass sat on their hands.
Newsom claimed that Trump's deployment of troops was an "authoritarian use of military soldiers against citizens."
"Donald Trump is not a king and not above the law," the governor declared.
Amid the ongoing tension, more Democrats have leaned into the claims that Trump is acting like a king, vilifying the administration for delivering on the president's campaign promise to solve the nation's illegal immigration crisis.
Earlier this month, Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) attempted to ambush Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem's press conference after previously claiming the L.A. riots were "largely peaceful."
Federal agents briefly detained Padilla for trying to bypass officers to approach Noem during her speech. The senator claimed he "ended up in handcuffs" for asking a question.
"If this is how the Trump administration treats a U.S. Senator in broad daylight, imagine what they're doing to immigrants behind closed doors," Padilla wrote in a post on X. "We cannot stay silent. We will not back down."
Many Democratic politicians, including Newsom, ran to Padilla's defense, seizing the opportunity to accuse Trump of authoritarian actions.
Newsom stated, "This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful. Trump and his shock troops are out of control. This must end now."
Padilla's disruptive stunt followed an incident involving Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.) the previous month.
McIver was slapped with federal charges after she was accused of assaulting an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer at a Newark, New Jersey, detention facility where Democrats had demanded access.
The congresswoman called the indictment "political intimidation," claiming that she was at Delaney Hall "to do my job."
McIver also stood up for New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, who was arrested for allegedly interfering with ICE operations when he locked arms with a man as federal agents approached them outside the courtroom.
McIver stated, "This administration will stop at nothing to intimidate those who dare to stand against their hateful agenda. This is a horrifying state of affairs for our country."
Lander accused Trump of using "authoritarian tactics."
Critics viewed Lander's move as a publicity stunt during his mayoral campaign. Lander conceded to Zohran Mamdani after he failed to convince more than roughly 11% of NYC Democrats to support him.
Flashback to the COVID era
Democratic leaders seem unified in their messaging against Trump, portraying him as a significant threat to freedom.
However, conservatives accused those same politicians of acting like kings just a few years ago, promoting oppressive lockdowns that harmed the economy and caused irreparable damage to mental health.
Newsom imposed some of the strictest lockdown measures in the nation, preventing Americans from gathering, forcing them to close their businesses, and using police to ticket and arrest citizens for trespassing on closed beaches. During the same period, he celebrated a birthday party at a Michelin-starred restaurant in Napa Valley.
During the COVID era, Padilla backed Newsom's leadership, applauding the governor's "statewide face mask mandate" as an "important and timely effort to reduce the spread."
"Let's commit to wearing masks, getting the vaccine, and staying home and social distancing as much as possible," he stated in January 2021.
Padilla repeatedly accused Republicans of spreading "COVID-19 disinformation" that he described as "nearly as dangerous as the disease itself." He claimed conservatives were "anti-mask, anti-science zealots" for criticizing Newsom's leadership.
While insisting Americans should mask up and stay home, he advocated for illegal immigrants to receive a "pathway to citizenship," claiming that "undocumented essential workers braved harsh conditions."

Meanwhile, the lockdown situation in New York was similar to that in Los Angeles.
In March 2020, Lander encouraged then-Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) and then-Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) to "close schools, non-essential businesses incl. restaurants & bars, [and] implement aggressive social distancing." He also advocated for closing places of worship.
Lander noted that social distancing would not work "until officially mandated."
"We need #ShutdownNYC now," Lander wrote.
During the COVID era, Democratic politicians enforced and supported strict lockdown measures, including business closures and vaccine mandates that trampled over American freedoms. Now, just a few years later, those same leaders are criticizing Trump's immigration enforcement as authoritarian as the left continues to prioritize illegal aliens over American citizens.
BlazeTV host Steve Deace stated, "To be fair, these COVID tyrants are subject matter experts on what it means to be an authoritarian. Snark aside, it's impossible to be an authoritarian against invaders by the very definition of the term. We elected the Trump administration to exercise its authority to enact mass deportations, which are needed now more than ever."
