Democrat Senate Hopeful Haley Stevens Gets Caught Touting Fake Endorsement
'I literally never endorsed her'
Gallup poll captures damning snapshot of the extremity of Democrat resentment
The Trump administration — and the country by extension — has enjoyed tremendous success over the past seven months.
The administration has, for instance, secured the border; reformed the foreign aid establishment; fired thousands of bureaucrats across the government; exposed elements of the deep state; routed racist DEI initiatives in the federal government; turned international trade on its head in America's favor; brokered historic peace deals between warring nations across the globe; taken meaningful steps to make America healthy again; driven down the foreign-born population and rounded up multitudes of dangerous criminal noncitizens; and set about the demolition of the child sex-change regime.
Rather than join their countrymen in enjoying the fruits of the administration's efforts, Democrats have apparently grown more bitter and resentful.
Polling data published on Wednesday by Gallup revealed that whereas 93% of Republicans approve of President Donald Trump's overall job performance, only 1% of Democrats signaled approval — a 92-point gap.
The polling outfit noted that this chasmic difference ties the record for the largest partisan divide in Gallup's presidential approval trends, which was set in June.
When polled this month, 35% of independents signaled approval for the job done by the president.
RELATED: The numbers hold terrible news for the Democrats’ future
Trump's record disapproval among Democrats is not entirely surprising. After all, a poll revealed late last year that nearly one in three Democrats would have preferred to see the president murdered in cold blood.
What is surprising, however, is that Democrats are similarly dissatisfied with the state of the country at large.
'Partisan perceptual biases that lead Democrats to see things as worse than they are and Republicans better than they are.'
Overall, 31% of Americans say that they are satisfied with the direction the country is going — up from 26% in October and the average 22% throughout Joe Biden's presidency.
Whereas 76% of Republicans say that they are satisfied with the direction of the country, less than 1% of Democrats said the same — a 76-point gap, the highest Gallup has ever recorded on this measure.

Although in July 2024, only 1% of Republicans said that they were satisfied with the direction the country was heading, the partisan divide on the question was far less dramatic because 62% of Democrats were dissatisfied with the state of play.
Robert Shapiro, a professor of government at Columbia University, told Newsweek, "Two things are at work. One is genuine Democratic dislike of what is happening in the economy regarding prices, tariffs, etc. and then all the opposition to what Trump has been doing."
"Second is partisan perceptual biases that lead Democrats to see things as worse than they are and Republicans better than they are," continued Shapiro. "It is only good news for the Democrats if this mobilizes voters in 2026. The voters are not so happy with the Democratic Party and its leaders."
That is a major understatement.
A CNBC poll revealed earlier this month that favorability toward the Democratic Party among registered voters was 56% negative and 24% positive. The poll indicated that Trump had a 46% approval rate. Gallup indicated in late July that only 73% of Democrats had a positive opinion of their own party.

'Complete fools': Dark money group paying influencers $8K monthly to push Democratic propaganda: Report
Former Washington Post writer Taylor Lorenz — the blogger who doxxed Libs of TikTok in 2022, called breathing without a mask "raw dogging the air," and expressed "joy" over UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson's assassination — appears to have finally stumbled across a story of value.
Lorenz detailed in a piece for Wired magazine this week how a dark money group has launched a "secretive program aimed at bolstering Democratic messaging on the internet," offering would-be propagandists up to $8,000 a month for their services but requiring in exchange the surrender of a significant amount of creative control as well as "extensive secrecy about disclosing their payments."
'You failed. You didn't influence anyone. You made fools of yourself.'
Lorenz indicated that among those allegedly approached with contracts by Chorus, the apparent nonprofit arm of a liberal influencer marketing platform, was nonstraight activist Laurenzo; Eliza Orlins, a public defender who once competed on "The Amazing Race"; and one of the pro-abortion zealots behind the Women in America account on TikTok — three individuals who did not respond to Lorenz's requests for comment.
Other influencers allegedly involved "in communication about the program" include: 2024 Democratic National Convention speaker and Gen Z influencer Olivia Julianna; Playboy executive turned podcaster Loren Piretra; leftist YouTuber David Pakman; and Sander Jennings, the brother of Jared Jennings — the boy called "Jazz" whose genital mutilation was promoted on reality television.
Chorus has reportedly boasted that its initial propagandist cohort has a collective audience of over 40 million followers.
Blaze News senior politics editor Christopher Bedford said Thursday on "The Mandate" that "this was designed to reach out to among the most unstable TikTokers you've ever seen — the kind of folks who were at the White House with the nine-inch nails talking about how everything is gay and how great Joe Biden is because everything is gay now. These are the people that they are trying to pay — and they were also trying to control the message."
"My favorite part about the story is how incredibly incompetent this operation was," said Bedford. "Reading through it, I'm thinking: Well, you failed. You didn't influence anyone. You made fools of yourself."
This initiative, the Chorus Creator Incubator Program, is funded by the second-largest super-PAC donor in 2020, the Sixteen Thirty Fund.
Politico indicated that the Sixteen Thirty Fund forked out $410 million in 2020 in an effort to torpedo President Donald Trump's re-election and to help Democrats take control of the Senate. It has kept up pressure in the years since.
According to Influence Watch, the Sixteen Thirty Fund, which is not obligated to reveal its contributors, is managed by Arabella Advisors — a leftist, for-profit dark money group based in Washington, D.C., that is presently undergoing a messy breakup with the Gates Foundation.
The Sixteen Thirty Fund confirmed to the New York Post that it is serving Chorus as a "fiscal sponsor" and providing it with "operational and administrative support."
The Chorus Creator Incubator Program was reportedly launched in July. The propagandists involved were notified that over 90 influencers would take part.
Some of those who apparently signed on told Wired that the "contract stipulated they’d be kicked out and essentially cut off financially if they even so much as acknowledged that they were part of the program."
RELATED: Democrats want a new Joe Rogan — but their dogma won’t allow it
Copies of the contract reviewed by Wired apparently confirm these claims, indicating that participants cannot disclose their relationship with Chorus or the Sixteen Thirty Fund and cannot disclose that they're paid shills.
In addition to their discretion, program participants must allegedly clear all of their bookings with lawmakers and political leaders through Chorus.
On a Zoom call reviewed by Wired, Graham Wilson, a lawyer working with Chorus, allegedly told participants, "There are some real great advantages to ... housing this program in a nonprofit."
"It gives us the ability to raise money from donors. It also, with this structure, it avoids a lot of the public disclosure or public disclaimers — you know, ‘Paid for by blah blah blah blah’ — that you see on political ads," Wilson allegedly said. "We don’t need to deal with any of that. Your names aren’t showing up on, like, reports filed with the FEC."
'They don't know how to deal with bad press.'
Wilson did not respond to Wired's request for comment, and the Federal Election Commission declined to comment.
Ellie Langford, the director of programming at Chorus, reportedly told liberal influencers on a Zoom call in June, "Our political systems haven’t been able to figure out a real solution, and I’ve been really excited to see you all treading the path forward. I deeply, deeply believe that the work you all are doing is what’s going to make the difference in supporting and frankly resuscitating our democracy."
Bedford noted that this ham-fisted effort on the part of leftists to regain control of the public discourse made him realize that "in the last couple of decades, while the American right has been building an alternative media system, which has become extremely successful and really launched into cool mode around 2011, 2012, with Daily Caller, but then finally came into its own with the meme wars in 2016."
"They're 10, 20 years ahead of where Democrats are," continued Bedford. "Democrats don't know what to do if ABC and CBS and CNN lay off half their employees. That's all they know. It's their only game in town. They don't know how to deal with bad press. They don't know how to deal with new media — and they're going to have to learn real quick."
Bedford noted further that it's clear from liberals' desperation to find and anoint a Joe Rogan-caliber influencer that they've missed the point.
"They put politics before entertainment. 'We need a liberal Joe Rogan.' No, you don't. You just need to convince Joe Rogan," added Bedford.

Former Trump Campaign Attorney Says Leftist WI AG Is Prosecuting For ‘Political Scalp’
Josh Kaul and his leftist lawfare buddies targeting 2020 alternate electors know the process is the punishment.'Stop talking and get to work': Trump blasts Democrat Gov. Wes Moore over Maryland crime
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore appears eager to paint a rosy picture of his state and to downplay the severity of its crime problem. President Donald Trump simply isn't buying what the Democrat is selling.
The president announced on Aug. 11 that he was federalizing the Washington Metropolitan Police Department and deploying the National Guard in order to "re-establish law, order, and public safety" to the national capital.
FBI statistics show that Baltimore has 'the fifth-most instances of violent crime on a per capita basis, [and the] fourth-highest murder rate.'
Despite complaints from Democrats and other leftists, the initiative has been tremendously successful. In the first week, D.C. saw a 19% drop in property crimes and a 17% drop in violent crimes when compared with the previous week. The city also enjoyed at least 10 days without a murder.
Trump indicated at the outset that he has a mind to similarly bring law and order to other crime-ridden cities, including Baltimore, a city of fewer than 570,000 people, which has a 1 rating on Neighborhood Scout's crime index where 100 is safest. Trump's threat of a life-saving federal intervention did not sit well with Moore.
Less than two weeks after offering a knee-jerk critique of the president's deployment of the National Guard, Moore suggested in an Aug. 21 letter to Trump that his state and the city of Baltimore are making progress where crime is concerned, citing a supposed 20% drop in homicides statewide since he took office two and a half years ago and a 22% year-over-year decrease in Baltimore homicides in the first six months of 2025.
Moore suggested that Baltimore was "on track to have the lowest number of homicides" since the city began officially keeping crime statistics, then invited Trump to attend a "public safety walk" in September.
RELATED: The numbers hold terrible news for the Democrats’ future
The Democratic governor followed up his letter with an interview on Sunday with CBS News' "Face the Nation," where he vowed not to authorize the Maryland National Guard to be utilized for Trump's law and order initiative; characterized the deployment of the National Guard as "unconstitutional"; and claimed that Trump was both "living in this blissful ignorance" and engaging in "1980s scare tactics" on the crime issue.
Baltimore's Democrat mayor, Brandon Scott, has similarly suggested that Trump is pushing a false narrative about the crime problem in Maryland, stating, "When it comes to public safety in Baltimore, [Trump] should turn off the right-wing propaganda and look at the facts. Baltimore is the safest it's been in over 50 years."
'Stop talking and get to work, Wes.'
Despite signaling an aversion to federal troops in Baltimore and suggesting things have improved in his city, Mayor Scott has called for "additional resources for Baltimore's ATF, DEA, and FBI field offices."
Moore did not argue with talking head Margaret Brennan when she acknowledged that FBI statistics show that Baltimore has "the fifth-most instances of violent crime on a per capita basis, [and the] fourth-highest murder rate," but he rejected Trump's strategy in D.C. as a possible remedy, calling it "purely performative."
Trump punched back on Sunday, writing on Truth Social, "Governor Wes Moore of Maryland has asked, in a rather nasty and provocative tone, that I 'walk the streets of Maryland' with him. I assume he is talking about out of control, crime ridden, Baltimore? As President, I would much prefer that he clean up this Crime disaster before I go there for a 'walk.'"
"Wes Moore's record on Crime is a very bad one, unless he fudges his figures on crime like many of the other 'Blue States' are doing. But if Wes Moore needs help, like Gavin Newscum did in L.A., I will send in the 'troops,' which is being done in nearby DC, and quickly clean up the Crime," continued Trump. "After only one week, there is NO CRIME AND NO MURDER IN DC! When it is like that in Baltimore, I will proudly 'walk the streets' with the failing, because of Crime, Governor of Maryland. P.S. Baltimore is ranked the 4th WORST CITY IN THE NATION IN CRIME & MURDER."
"Stop talking and get to work, Wes. I’ll then see you on the streets!" added the president.

Biden judge releases teens accused of savagely attacking Edward 'Big Balls' Coristine
Edward Coristine, the young engineer known as "Big Balls" who previously worked for the Department of Government Efficiency, was beaten to a pulp during an attempted carjacking on Aug. 3 in the national capital.
According to the incident report, a group of around 10 juveniles approached the 19-year-old and his girlfriend, making clear their intention to steal Coristine's vehicle.
Coristine pushed his girlfriend to safety, then squared off with the thugs, who piled on and left him bloodied on the roadside. Police apprehended two suspects at the scene — a 15-year-old male and a 15-year-old female of Hyattsville, Maryland — and charged both with unarmed carjacking.
Whereas President Donald Trump figured the incident was bad enough to finally bring an end to the lawlessness in Washington, D.C., federalizing the Metropolitan Police Department and deploying the National Guard, a Biden-nominated judge alternatively decided on Thursday it wasn't worth keeping two of the suspected attackers in custody.
'School and home, that's it.'
Kendra Briggs, an associate judge of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, informed the female suspect that she would move to a youth shelter house and informed the male suspect that he would get to hang out at his mother's home, reported the Washington Post, which was granted access to the Thursday hearing on the condition that it not reveal the identities of the suspects.
Up until this week, the suspects were being held at D.C.'s Youth Services Center, an 88-bed secure facility that keeps detainees under continuous supervision. Although the suspects will enjoy relative freedom, they will still be subjected to electronic monitoring and a 24-hour curfew.
RELATED: The DC nobody talks about — and Trump finally did
The Biden judge decided to let the male suspect stay with his mother because the shelter house was supposedly too far from his school.
"I don't want to put hardship on your family," Briggs said to the apparent thug.
"School and home, that's it," said Briggs, whose nomination was opposed by Republican Sens. Rick Scott (Fla.) and Josh Hawley (Mo.). "The fact that this court is stepping you down from Youth Services Center is a serious step."
'The Law in D.C. must be changed to prosecute these 'minors' as adults, and lock them up for a long time, starting at age 14.'
The attorney for the male suspect boasted that to his knowledge, his client had not yet misbehaved at the Youth Services Center.
Prosecutors suggested that the female suspect, who faces trial next week for a separate case in Maryland, is a danger to the community and a flight risk.
Despite the prosecutors' concerns and acknowledging that the female suspect had "major truancy issues," the Biden appointee still decided to reduce her level of detention.
Briggs told the suspects that they are not allowed to possess weapons and are to stay out of other people's vehicles unless they have permission from the owner.
The judge's order flies in the face of Trump's expectation.
Following Coristine's attack, Trump noted, "Local 'youths' and gang members, some only 14, 15, and 16-years-old, are randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent Citizens, at the same time knowing that they will be almost immediately released."
"They are not afraid of Law Enforcement because they know nothing ever happens to them, but it’s going to happen now!" the president continued. "The Law in D.C. must be changed to prosecute these 'minors' as adults, and lock them up for a long time, starting at age 14."

BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales confronted Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) on Thursday night at a town hall in Dallas.
Crockett, who was born in St. Louis, Missouri, was in South Dallas speaking to constituents and urging Democrats to band together to defeat the Republicans in the 2026 midterms.
Crockett was in the middle of telling attendees that they need to make a habit of sending "a fact" to their group chats and also talk to their neighbors when Gonzales stood up and interrupted.
'Do your people know you're a spoiled rich kid from Missouri?!'
Crockett had just noted how often she stayed at her granny's house when Gonzales spoke up.
"Jasmine, the people of Dallas deserve better than a fake ghetto hood rat!"
A female attendee immediately got in Gonzales' face, putting her hand on her phone.
"Do they know you're a rich kid from Missouri? Do they know you're a spoiled rich kid from Missouri?!" Gonzales continued.
At this point, security began ushering Gonzales out of the building before police threatened to escalate the situation.
— (@)
"Do your people know you're a spoiled rich kid from Missouri?!" Gonzales yelled as she left the building.
One officer is heard saying he was going to "put on gloves" in case he had to arrest the host, but no arrest happened.
In a video of the event posted by Dallas Weekly, Crockett is heard saying, "This is part of the problem, but I want y'all to be part of the solution."
The congresswoman tried to calm her supporters down, repeatedly saying, "No, no, no," but Gonzales encountered jeers, swear words, and even a man in a mask as she exited.
"Jasmine Crockett has made quite a lucrative career out of a totally fake persona: the idea that she is from South Dallas, which is a rough, low-income neighborhood," Gonzales told Blaze News. "It's why you see her changing the way she speaks depending on who she is speaking to."
Calling Crockett a "disingenuous" rich kid, Gonzales claimed that "rabid security personnel" at the event ignored her getting assaulted by attendees and even grabbed her by her waist to remove her from the building's interior.
Gonazles added, "There is such a rich irony in low-IQ Jasmine screaming about President Trump and Republicans being 'fascists' and then sending her goons to assault me for exercising my First Amendment right and criticizing a government representative."

CBS Texas covered Crockett's event but did not mention Gonzales' interruption or another by a different conservative influencer.
Another woman who goes by Blonde Conservative asked Crockett, "Jasmine, why do you hate white people? Why are you racist towards white people?"
The woman was immediately asked to leave.
Crockett gave multiple interviews surrounding the event, warning Texans that if they do not stop the state's redistricting plan, residents will not "be able to save anything" in the Dallas-Forth Worth area.
