Democrats Retaliate Against Liberal Governor For Not Letting Trump Ally Tina Peters Rot In Prison
'Election tampering has consequences'
Democrat twerks for votes, posts her own mug shots, and celebrates being the ‘enemy’ of white men
James Talarico and Graham Platner are two of the most controversial Democrats running for office this year, but one new ridiculous Democrat star is now joining their ranks — and her name is Shelby Campbell.
Campbell, who is running for Congress in Michigan, is using a different campaigning method.
That is, she’s posting videos of herself twerking on social media.
“She’s 32 years old. She is apparently a law student. She’s a single mom. Gosh, who would have thought the woman twerking on social media would be a single mom? And she has four mug shots on her campaign website,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales explains.
“This is the absolute state of the Democrat Party,” she adds, before playing a TikTok video Campbell posted.
“It’s our time: the wine-mom gang,” Campbell says in the video while dancing around in a big T-shirt and disheveled hair.
“White ladies, I'm glad that we are becoming the enemy to the white man as well. I’m proud of you. Now, let’s get it, girls,” she adds.
But that’s not the worst of it.
“Let me present to you: Shelby Campbell mocking people who pray for child gunshot victims,” Gonzales comments, before playing another clip.
“Sky Daddy, please, please save the children from being shot with guns. Not by reforming the laws, but just by praying to you. Please, Sky Daddy. Dumb. Idiotic,” Campbell says in the video, again looking disheveled.
“At a certain point … we just need to come to terms with the fact that this is their best and brightest,” Gonzales says.

'Friend' of President Trump advances to Georgia Republican Senate primary runoff
The president likes him "a lot," but Georgia voters still have to prove they agree.
Sitting U.S. Rep. Mike Collins (R-Ga.) took home the most votes in the Georgia GOP primary for U.S. Senate on Tuesday, but it was not enough to secure an outright nomination.
'28 more days of putting the hammer down!'
Collins was first in the primary, but since he did not garner 50% of the vote, he will have to go head-to-head against runner-up Derek Dooley in a runoff election on June 16. Collins finished with nearly 41% of the vote, while Dooley had about 30%, according to CBS News.
"Thank you, Georgia. Love y'all. 28 more days of putting the hammer down!" Collins wrote on X after securing the most votes in the primary.
Collins was considered the favorite as a MAGA-style Republican and led polls by an average of 11.5 points between April and May.
The 58-year-old also received an unofficial endorsement from President Donald Trump in February, but it is unclear how much that endorsement helped him.
A video posted February 19 showed Trump telling supporters, "He's a friend of mine. He's a good guy."
"I like him a lot," Trump added.

The video garnered nearly 1 million views on X, but subsequent polls showed Collins' lead shrank from about +25 in mid-February to just +14 by the end of the month.
Still, Collins was considered to be Trump-aligned, having similar views on immigration and spearheading the Laken Riley Act. As well, Collins voted against aid to Ukraine in October 2023, but voted in favor of Israeli aid the same month.
Dooley, a former football coach for the Tennessee Volunteers, was consistently second or third in polling and was endorsed by Georgia Governor Brian Kemp (R).
Dooley put out a statement late on Tuesday thanking his voters for their support.
"This campaign has been about putting the people of Georgia first and sending a new type of leader up to D.C. who's in it for the right reasons, and that's to serve," Dooley wrote on X.
"Let's get to work and win this runoff!" he added alongside a photo that featured Gov. Kemp.
Third place went to Rep. Earl "Buddy" Carter (R-Ga.), a former pharmacist and mayor who received approximately 25% of the vote.
Other candidates included businessman and real estate developer John Coyne, as well as Jonathan McColumn, a retired U.S. Army Reserve brigadier general and pastor. Both got less than 5% of the vote.
The winner of Collins vs. Dooley will face off against Democrat Senator Jon Ossoff in November. Ossoff went unopposed in the Democrat primary and has been in office since 2021.

Nazi-linked Maine Democrat Graham Platner sexualizes — porta-potties?
The Democratic Party's best chance to unseat longtime Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) is in the midst of yet another scandal tied to his old social media posts.
Graham Platner, the Marine veteran who is all but guaranteed to win the Democrat Senate primary in Maine on June 9 now that Gov. Janet Mills has bowed out, made other posts on Reddit that have raised eyebrows.
Platner 'is someone whose instincts appear crude, reckless, and deeply unserious.'
Under the now-deleted username "P-Hustle" — which, according to Fox News, he has previously acknowledged as his — Platner strangely sexualized porta-john visits and graffiti. These posts are not unearthed, offhand comments from decades ago. Some are as recent as March 2021, when Platner was 36 years old.
In a thread entitled "GWOT D*ck Art," Platner recalled a "Hot Rod C*ck" he saw graffitied on the inside of a portable restroom while he was in Manas, an Afghanistan War-era U.S. military transit hub in Kyrgyzstan.
"It was beautiful. Engorged and veiny, it rode towards its penetrative glory upon two smoking hot rod wheels, smoke and fire enshrouding its tumescence, winged like Nike as it pushed ever forward towards its conquests," Platner wrote on March 11, 2021, according to the archives provided by the Maine Monitor.
"I sat there in sheer awe, my feelings of happiness to be going home washed aside by the soul filling joy to be allowed to witness such glory."
Four years earlier almost to the day, in a thread in which a military vet discusses "aromatherapy," Platner confessed to regularly masturbating in a porta-john on account of the "blue water smell" there. "I still have to jerk off every time I sit in a portas**tter....that blue water smell conditioned me," he posted on March 8, 2017.
Platner has already spent months playing defense about other bizarre posts from the "P-Hustle" Reddit account. In September 2020, Platner wrote that white people "actually are" as racist and stupid "as Trump Thinks."
In September 2012, Platner characterized himself as "crudely atheist" and joked that Jesus was a "zombie" and the Virgin Mary a "skank."
For years, Platner also apparently had tattooed on his chest an image that highly resembled a Nazi SS guard "totenkopf" skull. He denied being a "secret Nazi" and recently had the tattoo covered over.
GOP strategist Mehek Cooke noted that these latest revelations from the "P-Hustle" account demonstrate that Platner has left a "years-long trail of vulgar, sexually degrading, and slur-filled commentary."
"Platner is not a truth-teller," Cooke said, according to Fox News. "He is someone whose instincts appear crude, reckless, and deeply unserious."
Cooke also noted: "If they were really 'jokes,' why delete the posts? That sounds less like humor and more like a CYA cleanup operation."
Graham's campaign did not respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.

Spanberger's new gun ban, championed by Bangladesh native, sparks immediate lawsuits
Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) provided state Democrats with a big win on Thursday in their ongoing war on the Second Amendment. Despite polls showing earlier this year that Virginians were overwhelmingly opposed, the former CIA officer ratified a ban on so-called "assault firearms."
As of July 1, law-abiding Americans in the Old Dominion will be barred from importing, buying, selling, transferring, or manufacturing:
- semiautomatic center-fire rifle or pistols with fixed magazine capacities in excess of 15 rounds;
- semiautomatic center-fire rifles chambered in calibers larger than .22 that have folding, telescoping, or collapsible stocks; thumb-hold stocks or pistol grips that protrude "conspicuously beneath the action of the rifle"; second hand grips that can be held by the non-trigger hand; grenade launchers; and/or threaded barrels capable of accepting a muzzle brake, muzzle compensator, sound suppressor, or a flash suppressor;
- semiautomatic shotguns that can accept detachable magazines, have a fixed magazine capacity of over 15 rounds, or have collapsible stocks;
- shotguns with revolving cylinders; and
- firearms with the capacity to accept a belt ammunition feeding device.
A violation of the ban will be a Class 1 misdemeanor, the most serious misdemeanor level, and someone convicted of such a violation could face up to a year in jail, a $2,500 fine, and be barred from possessing or transporting such firearms for a period of three years.
'Virginia has now joined the minority of radical states to ban these constitutionally protected firearms.'
Democrat state Sen. Saddam Azlan Salim, a Bangladeshi native who came to America in 2000 and served as the gun ban's chief patron, said that "Spanberger's signing of SB749 marks a monumental victory for public safety in the Commonwealth of Virginia."
Salim added that "this law saves lives, and together, we prove that people-powered progress prevails."
The National Rifle Association took legal action just moments after Spanberger ratified the gun ban.

John Commerford, executive director of the NRA-Institute for Legislative Action, announced on Thursday the filing of "two critical lawsuits in Virginia — one in federal court, with our friends at the Second Amendment Foundation and Firearms Policy Coalition along with two NRA members, and one in state court, in Washington County, Virginia, along with our state association of Virginia Shooting Sports Association and Middleton Firearms and Training and two NRA members."
"The NRA will not sit idly by while progressive politicians strip the rights of law-abiding citizens, and our world-class legal team is locked, loaded, and ready to shoot down this outrageous gun-control law," said Commerford.
Second Amendment Foundation Executive Director Adam Kraut stated, "It’s wild that lawmakers who each take an oath to uphold the Constitution insist on passing bills purposefully designed to gut it."
"The firearms and magazines banned in this law aren’t bizarre and unusual outliers; they’re among the most commonly owned guns and magazines in the country. They’re owned in the tens of millions by peaceable Americans who use them overwhelmingly lawfully," continued Kraut. "Virginia has now joined the minority of radical states to ban these constitutionally protected firearms and, in so doing, joined the club of states we’re suing over it."
The federal complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia by the SAF, FPC, and NRA asserts that the gun ban will infringe upon the Second and 14th Amendment rights of NRA members and other plaintiffs and asks the court to declare that the ban and all related laws, regulations, policies, and procedures violate the right to keep and bear arms as guaranteed under the Constitution.
The Justice Department has also signaled that it will be challenging the gun ban in court.

Perpetual victim Fani Willis cries RACISM and SEXISM again, this time over common-sense election law
Fani Willis, the Democrat district attorney in Fulton County who tried and failed to throw President Donald Trump in prison, has found a new reason to rage publicly, level groundless accusations of racism, and masquerade as a victim of opposing forces.
To the chagrin of those Democrat officials and other race hustlers who demanded its veto, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) ratified legislation on Tuesday requiring nonpartisan elections for certain offices in the Peach State's five most populous counties — Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Cobb, and Clayton — effective Jan. 1, 2028.
It's supposedly 'racist' because the five district attorneys ... are black female Democrats.
Candidates running to become or remain county governing authorities, tax commissioners, superior court clerks, and solicitor-generals must run in nonpartisan elections. County sheriffs are exempt.
Under the law, district attorney candidates will no longer "be nominated by a political party or by a petition as a candidate of a political body or as an independent candidate." They will also forgo a nonpartisan primary, competing only in the general election.
During debate about the legislation in March, House Majority Leader Chuck Efstration (R) said, "The opinion from legislative counsel as it has been given to me [is] that it is constitutional and it treats certain local offices similar to how judges are classified at the local level so that partisan politics is minimized when providing basic local governmental services."
Efstration added, "There is no Republican line and a Democrat line when entering the courthouse."
"We're giving voters the opportunity to rid themselves of district attorneys who are more concerned with playing partisan games than prosecuting and delivering justice," said Republican Rep. Trey Kelley.
Democrats — evidently terrified that Georgia voters might cast ballots for individuals, not parties, when choosing officers of the law — are spewing their usual accusations and alarmist rhetoric, claiming, for instance, that the law is, according to Willis, "racist, sexist, and clearly unconstitutional."
It's supposedly "racist" because the five district attorneys in the affected counties are black female Democrats.
Willis said in a joint statement this week with DeKalb County DA Sherry Boston, "House Bill 369 is clearly unconstitutional, and we are appalled at Governor Brian Kemp's decision to sign it into law. This is a blatant attempt by Republicans to give their candidates an edge in Democratic counties by hiding their party affiliation from voters."
After hinting at their bigotry of low expectations regarding the aptitudes of voters in their counties, the Democrat duo promised to take "legal action to have this illegal bill overturned" and noted that "taxpayers will be the ones footing the bill to defend it in court."
Charlie Bailey, chairman of the Democratic Party of Georgia, previously suggested that the purpose of the law was to enable Republicans to "hide their party affiliation and confuse voters to have a hope of competing against the five duly elected Black women district attorneys that this bill was specifically designed to target."
Georgia Democrats received additional bad news this week concerning elections in 2028.
Kemp announced on Wednesday that state lawmakers will convene on June 17 to redraw the Peach State's congressional maps for 2028. While Republicans currently hold nine out of Georgia's 14 congressional districts, they could gain more ground — especially if the state corrects for recent court-ordered racial gerrymanders pursuant to the U.S. Supreme Courts' recent Callais ruling.

WATCH: Democrat does 'Holy Ghost' dance just days after INSANE state trooper meltdown
Democrat state Rep. Justin Pearson is already back in the news after a video of the Tennessee politician calling a state trooper a “stupid motherf**ker” went viral.
But in the latest video, Pearson appears to be a changed man.
In a video from a graduation ceremony, Pearson thrashes around, dancing on stage in front of a cross, leading BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock to comment that it appears Pearson has “caught the Holy Ghost.”
“I’m almost speechless, Jason, and I speak for a living,” Anthony Walker tells Whitlock, calling Pearson’s actions “performative.”
And Walker does not believe Pearson has “caught the Holy Ghost.”
“Evidence of the Holy Spirit truly in your life and transforming you is going to be a transformed life. Your conversation is going to be different. Your conduct is going to be different. Your whereabouts, where you choose to go, is going to be different. Something will be evident that you used to behave in a sinful manner,” he explains.
“So it’s performance, and you know, unfortunately, we live in a performance-rewarding society,” he adds.
Shemeka Michelle is in agreement.
“It is performative. It is an act. And he failed,” she says, noting that the audience is applauding in the video.
“Most of them are probably women who just don’t have the discernment that’s necessary to be able to sniff out a fraud. He’s a fraud. Plain and simple,” she adds.

Virginia Democrats trying to force through illegal power-grab make ANOTHER humiliating mistake
The Virginia Supreme Court sent Democrats into conniptions with a ruling on Friday striking down as unconstitutional a ballot measure that would have all but guaranteed their party another four seats in the U.S. Congress.
Democrats' desperation to force through their illegal power-grab in the wake of the 4-3 decision now has them considering truly extreme options, including lowering the retirement age for justices on the Old Dominion's high court, purging its current lineup, and stacking it with liberals.
'Baby steps.'
While their comrades plot alternative ways of disenfranchising millions of Republican voters in Virginia, Democratic state officials are trying to get the U.S. Supreme Court to revive their gerrymandering initiative.
The Democrats behind the likely doomed petition are, however, having difficulties with spelling and differentiating between disparate courts.
Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones, House Speaker Don Scott, and President Pro Tempore of the Virginia Senate Louise Lucas filed a joint motion late on Friday asking the Old Dominion's Supreme Court to delay its order invalidating the gerrymander referendum and the corresponding constitutional amendment proposed on the ballot while they appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Former Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares (R) highlighted a glaring spelling error in the court filing, which was submitted by state Solicitor General Tillman Breckenridge. Near the top, Virginia House of Delegates was spelled "Virgnia House of Delegates."
RELATED: Democrats propose purging Virginia Supreme Court so they can force through illegal power-grab
Miyares wrote, "If you are going to appeal to SCOTUS maybe don't misspell Virginia?"
Other keen observers — including Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon — pointed out that in the document, "senator" was spelled "sentator."
Miyares continued: "This is a motion that has zero chance to succeed and is [a] Hail Mary to save face after wasting $70 million in political money and $10 million in taxpayer money on an illegal, unconstitutional gerrymandering amendment. This motion will be declared dead on arrival."
Democratic Virginia officials — evidently willing to test Miyares' theory that their motion "will be declared dead on arrival" — filed an emergency application on Monday with the U.S. Supreme Court, requesting a stay of the Virginia Supreme Court's decision that they claimed was "deeply mistaken on two critical issues of federal law with profound practical importance to the Nation."
The emergency application not only contained the Democratic officials' previous embarrassing spelling mistakes but a brand-new error on the first page, referring to an "emergency application to the Supreme Court of Virginia," rather than the Supreme Court of the United States.
"Good News: Dems managed to spell Virginia correctly," Miyares wrote on Tuesday. "Bad News: They sent their emergency application to SCOTUS to the wrong court. Baby steps."
Miyares' quip aside, the Virginia Democrats managed to get their mistitled petition to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Even still, Edward Whelan, a legal scholar and senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, discovered other possible problems. "Very weird that cover page states 'On Emergency Application to the Supreme Court of Virginia,'" noted Whelan. "That's the styling for a petition for a writ of certiorari, but it makes no sense to say that the emergency application is 'to' the Supreme Court of Virginia."
But the greater blunder, suggested Whelan, is that the Democratic petitioners do not appear to be asking for the right relief.
"Even if the Supreme Court were to grant Virginia's emergency application for a stay (it won't), that would still leave in place the lower-court injunction that the state supreme court affirmed," wrote Whelan.

Tennessee Democrats turn legislature into madhouse after Republicans nuke 'black district' represented by white liberal
Tennessee Democrats' thin veneer of civility broke again, this time on Thursday amid state Republicans' successful efforts to pass a new congressional map.
Radical lawmakers not only attempted to obstruct the democratic process — screaming, dancing, blowing bullhorns at Republican legislators, and getting combative — but cosplayed as opponents of racial prejudice, barking lines popularized during the civil rights movement and working in real time to spin their party's likely diminution in power as the result of an imagined reversion to Jim Crow-style policies.
Quick background
The U.S. Supreme Court issued a hugely consequential 6-3 ruling in Louisiana v. Callais last week, striking down the Bayou State's 2024 congressional map as an unconstitutional racial gerrymander and making clear that redistricting should effectively be color-blind.
'My brother ain’t doing nothing to nobody.'
Tennessee state Republicans wasted no time applying the logic of the high court's ruling in their back yard with the aim — according to Republican Gov. Bill Lee — of ensuring that the Volunteer State's congressional map "remains fair, legal, and defensible."
After its easy passage by the GOP supermajority in the legislature, Lee signed a new congressional map into law on Thursday that will likely enable Republicans to secure all nine U.S. House seats in Tennessee.
The new map divides up the supposedly black-majority, Memphis-based 9th Congressional District represented by white Democrat Rep. Steve Cohen into three districts and also splits Nashville into five districts.
Cohen called it an "egregious result."
The madhouse
As the Tennessee Senate voted on the map, Democrat state Sen. Charlane Oliver — the radical who threatened riots in 2024 over the passage of a bill she didn't like — danced atop her desk in the chamber, yelling and holding up a banner that said, "No Jim Crow 2 Stop the Steal."
Footage shared online by WTVF-TV's Chris Davis appears to show Oliver fighting with the Senate sergeant at arms over control of her banner. After losing control of her banner, Oliver proceeded to stomp and sing on her desk while her peers voted to pass the bill, reported the Nashville Banner.
During the voting process in the state House on Thursday, Tennessee Rep. Justin Jones — a Democrat who has previously evidenced a willingness to violate the legislature's decorum rules and was caught on film throwing a traffic cone at a driver during a 2020 Black Lives Matter blockade — walked around blowing a bullhorn in the faces of lawmakers and staffers while holding up a sign that said, "We shall overcome."
Jones also set on fire a printout of the Confederate flag and repeatedly accused Republicans of racism, calling them the "white sheet caucus."
Rep. Justin Pearson (D), who like Jones was briefly expelled from the Tennessee House of Representatives in 2023 for staging a disruptive protest on the House floor, lashed out at members of law enforcement who were working feverishly to keep the peace.
After state House Speaker Cameron Sexton (R) asked that the gallery be cleared, Tennessee Highway Patrol began ushering radicals out. Some, including Pearson's brother KeShaun, apparently refused to leave, reported WKRN-TV.
The prospect that his brother might face consequences for his actions evidently enraged Rep. Pearson, who yelled at THP troopers as they were executing their duties — calling one trooper a "stupid motherf**ker" and "boy" — and attempted to interfere with his brother's apparent arrest, which Pearson later suggested "is what white supremacy does."
"My brother ain’t doing nothing to nobody. Hey, hey, he’ll walk out by himself. Move the f**k back!" said Pearson.
THP Lt. Bill Miller told WKRN in a statement, "During today’s hearing, three individuals in attendance began disrupting the session of the House of Representatives. After repeated warnings, three individuals were taken into custody inside the gallery of the Capitol for suspected violation of TCA 39-17-306 (Disturbing an Official Meeting). The individuals were transported to the Davidson County jail for booking."
Democrats' theatrics were all for naught, as this is Tennessee's new congressional map:
