Leftist Group Threatens Michigan Voters: ‘We Will Be Reviewing’ Your Voting Record

In a shocking survey by the Barna Group, it’s been revealed that 32 million church-attending Christians are planning to sit this election out and not show up at the ballot box.
“There’s a really important data point in that Barna research, and it’s that it’s not just Christians that are sitting out, it is regular churchgoers, so it’s not just the people who culturally identify as Christians,” bestselling author and Daily Wire reporter Megan Basham tells Liz Wheeler of “The Liz Wheeler Show.”
But why is it happening?
“One, obviously, we have to acknowledge the abortion issue. I think the Republican Party’s conflicting messaging on this cycle has depressed enthusiasm a little bit,” Basham explains.
“But, there’s also something else that I think is more significant going on and that is the fact that a lot of this voter suppression, lack of enthusiasm, has been deliberately orchestrated by left secular foundations and billionaires,” she continues.
Basham believes “they have been working for the last few years to try to convince Christians, ‘Hey, you don’t need to vote. It’s not important that you play a part in the political process. In fact, it could be political idolatry.’”
One example is a Bible study curriculum called “The Afterparty,” which was created by David French, the editor in chief of Christianity Today, and a Democrat Party Duke Divinity professor.
“All three never-Trumpers, two of whom are supporting Kamala Harris openly,” Basham says. “They created this supposed political Bible study curriculum to go into conservative churches, conservative college campuses. There was an effort to get it on 185 conservative college campuses, and it teaches Christians that politics are really complex.”
“‘It’s not always clear who you should vote for, and what we really need to do is turn down the rhetoric, and, in fact, we don’t know how we should vote except on the issue of alleged racial injustice,’” she says, giving an example.
“It makes it pretty clear when you read the curriculum who they want you to vote for, and that curriculum is exclusively funded by hard left secular foundations, Rockefeller philanthropy advisers, and the Hewlett Foundation, which also backed Planned Parenthood and transgender initiatives for youth and things of that nature,” Basham explains, adding, “These are not Christians, and they are funding these kind of operations in order to, I would say, really suppress that Christian vote.”

Jerry Seinfeld walks back statement that the 'extreme left' is killing comedy, amends other claims in surprising interview
Jerry Seinfeld walked back a statement he made earlier this year that the "extreme left" is killing comedy — and the iconic funnyman also amended other words of his in a surprising interview that aired Tuesday.
During Tom Papa’s "Breaking Bread" podcast, the host noted that Seinfeld recently "made a lot of news" about what comedians can and can't say, then asked Seinfeld what he believes people got right and wrong about his pronouncements.
'So I don’t think, as I said, the extreme left has done anything to inhibit the art of comedy. I'm taking that back now, officially.'
"Here's the thing that I got wrong," Seinfeld began. "I did not know that people care what comedians say. That literally came as news to me. Who the hell cares about what a comedian thinks about anything?"
He continued, "So there were two things that I have to say I regret saying and that I have to take back."
"One of them I didn't say, but people think I did. ... I said I don't play colleges because the kids are too PC and you can't do comedy for them," Seinfeld noted. "Not true. First of all, I never said it, but if you think I said it, it’s not true. I play colleges all the time. I have no problem with kids, performing for them. In fact, I was just at the University of Indiana, Kentucky, we did [the University of Texas]. I mean, I do colleges all the time, so that perception that I don't play colleges — wrong."
Actually Seinfeld said in a 2015 ESPN interview that “I don’t play colleges, but I hear a lot of people tell me, ‘Don’t go near colleges, they’re so PC.’" Perhaps Seinfeld's views on playing colleges changed over the last few years, but the "they're so PC" statement indeed appears to be in reference to what others said to him, not what he said himself.
Further in the "Breaking Bread" podcast, Seinfeld noted his second "regret," saying it was in reference to "an interview with the New Yorker, and I said that the extreme left has suppressed the art of comedy. I did say that. That’s not true. It’s not true. ... If you're Lindsey Vonn, if you’re a champion skier, you can put the gates anywhere you want on the mountain; she's gonna make the gate. That's comedy. Whatever the culture is, we make the gate. You don’t make the gate, you’re out of the game. The game is, 'Where is the gate? How do I make the gate and get down the hill in the way I want to?'"
Seinfeld continued: "So does culture change, and are there things I used to say that I can’t say that everybody's always moving [acceptability standards that apply to them]? Yeah, but that’s the biggest, easiest target. ... 'You can’t say certain words ... whatever they are ... about groups.' So what? The accuracy of your observation has to be 100 times finer than that to just be a comedian. … So I don’t think, as I said, the extreme left has done anything to inhibit the art of comedy. I'm taking that back now, officially. They have not. Do you like it? Maybe, maybe not. It's not my business to like or not like where the culture is at; it's my business to make the gate, to stay with my skiing analogy. You make the gate, or you're out."
Later in the conversation, Seinfeld brought up another statement of his from earlier this year that he misses "dominant masculinity" in culture.
"Which is probably not the greatest phrase," Seinfeld confessed to Papa. "What I was really saying is that I miss big personalities. That's what I miss." He referred to figures such as Muhammad Ali, Sean Connery, and Howard Cosell, then noted, "These were all the people I wanted to be like as a kid. ... I wanted to have that kind of authority and style. It was really a style thing; everyone conforms more to not offend. I miss George C. Scott. I miss these gigantic personalities ... just 'cause I thought it was a great flavor in my youth ... and that made a headline the next day."
What led to Seinfeld's reversals?
It's not clear what led Seinfeld to walk back his statements; he's certainly more than powerful and wealthy enough to eschew outside pressure to amend his views.
But interestingly, Julia Louis-Dreyfus — Seinfeld's co-star on the sitcom that used his surname and ruled television for much of the 1990s — made headlines herself after appearing to take issue with Seinfeld's anti-PC stance.
The New York Times in early June published an interview with Louis-Dreyfus, and the paper told her that "your former co-star Jerry Seinfeld recently made news for talking about political correctness in comedy. I’m wondering, as a famous comedian yourself, what you think about that."
Dreyfus didn't mention Seinfeld by name, but she told the Times the following:
If you look back on comedy and drama both, let’s say 30 years ago, through the lens of today, you might find bits and pieces that don’t age well. And I think to have an antenna about sensitivities is not a bad thing. It doesn’t mean that all comedy goes out the window as a result. When I hear people starting to complain about political correctness — and I understand why people might push back on it — but to me that’s a red flag, because it sometimes means something else. I believe being aware of certain sensitivities is not a bad thing. I don’t know how else to say it.
She didn't clarify what that "something else" is, nor did the Times follow up with a question regarding what "something else" might be.
Anything else?
Seinfeld has been quite active on the sociopolitical front over the last year.
During a May interview with Bari Weiss during which Seinfeld made the "dominant masculinity" statement, he also addressed anti-Israel sentiment that fueled college campus protests — and how protesters have even targeted him. Earlier in May, some Duke University graduates walked out of Seinfeld's commencement address.
“It’s so dumb. It's so dumb," he said. "In fact, when we get protesters occasionally, I love to say to the audience, ‘You know, I love that these young people, they’re trying to get engaged with politics ... we have to just correct their aim a little bit."
When Weiss brought up seeing video of protesters calling Seinfeld "Nazi scum" and being shocked when he smiled back and waved, Seinfeld told her, "It's so silly. They want to express this sincere, intense rage, but again, a little off target ... so that’s, to me, comedic."
Also, at one point, when Weiss asked Seinfeld about his trip to Israel after the deadly Oct. 7 Hamas attack, the comedian in a rare moment had to fight really hard to hold back tears after he called his visit the "most powerful experience of my life."
Seinfeld also took on anti-Israel hecklers at a number of his shows earlier this year.

Blaze News original: How violent, bullying leftists behave after getting bruising justice — or when they don't get their way
Among the many stomach-turning traits of militant leftists like Antifa and their ilk is that they tend to be supremely entitled and pathologically incapable of empathy. There is no other "side," no other point of view, and nothing else to consider. Their radical leftism is the only game in town.
It's a dangerous point of view, mainly because it contributes to making their criminal behavior — which often involves physically harming those who stand up against them or who are just in their way in that moment — perfectly acceptable in their minds.
'You guys want to criminalize us with metal detectors? We'll see you at your house. We'll murder you.'
The fallout happens when such leftists receive bruising justice in return, whether the comeuppance goes down in the streets or in courtrooms — and yes, even during public meetings when they don't get their way.
Over and over again, we've seen these ingredients — entitlement, a gang mentality, a propensity for violence, and lack of empathy — get shaken together to create a volatile cocktail that, in the end, explodes in the face of the left.
The following are some of the more jaw-dropping lowlights.
Female Antifa ringleader found guilty of orchestrating riot; loyal comrade arrested outside courthouse after verdict — on assault charge
An Antifa ringleader based in Portland, Oregon, was found guilty Aug. 14 of felony riot, disorderly conduct in the second degree, and unlawful use of mace in the second degree in connection with 2021 riot in a park in neighboring Clackamas County.
Self-described independent journalist Alissa Eleanor Azar was front and center when Antifa disrupted a conservative voter registration drive in Clackamette Park in Oregon City. Video evidence showed Azar using bear mace against a woman, according to the Post Millennial. She pushed Antifa's action on social media, and Clackamas County Deputy District Attorney Josh Cutino said Antifa was looking for a fight.
An Oregon City cop testified that his team discovered homemade explosive devices and riot shields in the area where Antifa had gathered, prompting bomb squad involvement.
After the verdict was announced, the Post Millennial and the Federalist reported that another infamous Antifa militant, John Hacker, allegedly attacked a man outside the courthouse, causing the man to bleed from the face.
"I crossed the street, and John Hacker’s there, and I was like, 'I think I just saw you assault him,'" Clackamas County Commissioner Ben West told the Federalist. "John tries to evade, police end up arresting him."
West said the victim "was bleeding pretty profusely. He was dazed. I got him off the ground, sat him up, tried to provide some direct pressure. Then Antifa came out and were yelling threatening things to me and making threats to me and my person while I was giving my report to law enforcement."
Hacker was charged with assault, went to the Clackamas County Jail, and was denied bail.
Pro-Palestinian radical at city council meeting threatens to 'murder' city council members. As you might guess, it doesn't end well for the lass.
A pro-Palestinian activist during a Bakersfield, California, city council meeting threatened to "murder" city council members. As you might guess, the threat didn't end well for her.
Members of United Liberation Front, a group of pro-Palestinian radicals, had been attending the bi-weekly city council meetings. They demand the city adopt — or at least introduce — a resolution supporting a ceasefire in Gaza, and they often have become disruptive as the council thus far has refused to cooperate.
During the April 10 meeting, one ULF member — 28-year-old Riddhi Patel — impugned city leaders during two separate speeches. In her first speech, she said, "I hope one day somebody brings a guillotine and kills all of you motherf***ers," apparently spitting as she walked away from the podium. In her second speech, she said, "You guys want to criminalize us with metal detectors? We'll see you at your house. We'll murder you."
With that, Mayor Karen Goh announced that Patel made a "threat" and asked officers to "escort" her out.
You can view Patel in action during the city council meeting here. She speaks just after the 30-minute mark, and she speaks again just before the 47-minute mark; it was just after Patel's second set of remarks that she was arrested and charged with 16 felonies: eight counts of threatening with intent to terrorize and eight counts of threatening elected public officials. She ended up in custody on a bond of at least $1 million.
Days later in court, Patel was far from the firebrand she portrayed at the city council meeting; instead she was wearing a brown jail uniform and weeped uncontrollably. A judge ruled on Oct. 1 that her case would proceed.
Heavily armed leftists surround, threaten lone Portland motorist. But when fed-up driver points his own gun at them, all hell breaks loose.
Heavily armed leftists apparently acting as security for a march in Portland on May 5, 2021, pointed their guns at a lone motorist and threatened him before the fed-up driver exited his truck and pointed his own gun at them — and then all hell broke loose.
The large group of marching leftist militants reportedly gathered to remember Patrick Kimmons, a black man fatally shot by Portland police in 2018.
But a vehicle apparently leading the group came upon a pickup truck driver who was traveling toward the marchers, and the lead vehicle blocked the driver's path — and in seconds, numerous militants descended upon the pickup truck driver and began threatening him.
The thing is, though, the driver had a gun, too — and the heavily armed militants didn't like that one bit. "You better f***ing not!" one leftist was heard yelling at the driver. "Put your f***ing gun down!" The driver, standing behind his truck door, pointed at one particularly well-strapped leftist and twice yelled back, "You got about five seconds to lower that f***ing weapon!"
The lone driver — who faced about a half-dozen armed leftists in the standoff — jawed with the hostile group, calling them "c**ksuckers" and "f***in' idiots" and repeatedly ordering them to "shut up." One leftist told the driver that his "vehicle is a deadly weapon" — which didn't go over too well with the driver, who noted all the rifles pointed in his direction.
As the driver got back into this truck and began to move past the militants, one leftist called him a "f***ing Nazi" as others demanded he "get outta here!" Then just before he reached the intersection — apparently after one of the leftists hit or threw something at his truck — the driver stopped, got out, and confronted the group. The situation grew tense, with many people screaming, and the driver grabbed his gun and moved forward on one of the rifle-wielding leftists — who promptly shoved the driver backward.
With that, the driver regained his footing and drew his gun on the group, but he soon was tackled from behind, after which numerous militants piled on him. Then the driver was requesting an ambulance, asking for his gun back, and telling the leftists that he's a disabled Marine.
Cop drives motorcycle into left-wing protester blocking his path, pushing her up road and knocking her down — and her comrades lose their minds
A crowd of left-wing protesters tried having their way with a lone police officer on the night of Oct. 2, 2020, in Portland, Oregon — but he was having none of it.
The officer had pulled over two vehicles blocking traffic, police told the Oregonian. Video — which you can view here — shows protesters converging upon the scene. The lone, completely outnumbered officer then found himself facing down numerous protesters who inched their way toward him. "Back up!" he hollered repeatedly at them.
The driver of one of the vehicles he pulled over took off. But when the cop got on his motorcycle and prepared to pursue the driver, a couple of protesters stood in his way. One positioned herself directly in front of his motorcycle — her legs literally straddling the path of his front wheel. The officer was undeterred, however, and pushed the protester with his motorcycle up the road until she tumbled to the street, after which he sped away.
Right on cue, comrades of the knocked-down protester predictably flipped out and chased after the officer on foot while unleashing enraged howls.
More from the Oregonian:
Live videos from the scene showed officers approach the crowd to check if the person needed medical attention. An argument ensued, and at least one person was detained during the encounter.
Police said Saturday afternoon that the protester struck by the motorcycle was eventually taken to the hospital and later booked on charges of rioting, interfering with a peace officer and second-degree disorderly conduct. Police did not provide an update on the person's medical status. Police said they were booked into jail later than initially planned because someone had slashed the police vehicles' tires in the hospital parking lot.
Leftists who apparently see themselves as part of an army actually cry out, 'Medic! Medic!' as cops push them back following failed mission to topple Andrew Jackson statue
While National Park Police in Washington, D.C., lined up and pushed leftist protesters out of Lafayette Square Park on the evening of June 22, 2020 — following their failed attempt to pull down a statue of Andrew Jackson — one video caught a rather astonishing reaction from the vanquished demonstrators.
As if they see themselves as actual soldiers on the field of battle, a number of utterly defeated comrades were heard crying out, "Medic! Medic!" in the face of their bruised bodies and egos. Bless their hearts. Check out the video here.
Another clip showed the depressing aftermath as the limping army of history-erasers hacked up their lungs, tried to catch their collective breath, and licked their wounds. One person was heard loudly inquiring, "Anybody here need medical attention?"
Plug your ears! Leftist repeatedly screams in high-pitched fashion at San Francisco leaders during public meeting in protest of black trans fatal shooting
A left-wing activist screamed out her lungs for an extended period of time during public comment at a San Francisco Board of Supervisors meeting on May 2, 2023, in the wake of a controversial fatal shooting.
The black trans individual who was shot — 24-year-old Banko Brown — allegedly tried to steal from a local Walgreens around 6:30 p.m. April 27, 2023, and was shot by a security guard, Fox News reported, adding that Brown died at a hospital.
San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins days before the supervisors' meeting said her office wouldn't prosecute the guard, Michael-Earl Wayne Anthony, the cable network reported in a separate story.
During the pubic comment portion of the supervisors' meeting, a female speaker sporting a buzz cut and a black leather jacket said, "I don't have any words prepared today. I just want you to feel our pain. I don't know if you can at this point, based off your policy choices, but I have to pretend you have some form of empathy left. So I am going to spend the next minute screaming, 'cause that is what is going on in here. That is what the trans genocide in this country, in this city, has brought me to."
With that, she let out a lengthy, ear-piercing scream. Then she delivered another — and another. For variety, she added one more.
"Imagine that!" she yelled, before continuing her screaming. All told, she treated the room to 15 seconds' worth of high-volume bellowing. But she was far from done. Next came the high-pitched screaming sentences.
"I hate this! I hate what you've done to us! I hate what you're doing to us! I hate you, Board of Supervisors! I hate you, [Mayor] London Breed! I hate you, Jenkins!" she hollered in high-pitched fashion before letting out one final howling scream.
After dropping a couple of F-bombs, she also called the board members "cowards" and walked away. You can view the screaming speech here; it begins just after the 1-hour, 8-minute mark.
As readers of Blaze News likely know, Bay Area stores like Walgreens have been gutted by brazen shoplifters over the last several years and suffered as a result — it's a phenomenon rather common in large America cities nowadays.
Leftist students freak out, get arrested by campus cops after yet another MAGA hat reportedly is stolen
Remember when red "Make America Great Again" hats more or less became kryptonite to leftists and constantly seemed to lead to jaw-dropping episodes of Trump derangement syndrome?
Well, on May 2, 2019, a Texas State University student shot video of what he told Campus Reform occurred after another student stole his MAGA hat amid a heated political discussion on campus. The clip shows one student dropping and kicking the student's MAGA hat as campus police confront the female culprit.
While she's handcuffed, cops drop another student face down on the quad pavement as other students holler in protest and gather around the growing number of police. A third student begins screaming and crying hysterically, trying to get past officers: "Don't f***ing touch her!"
An apparent officer is heard speaking to the student whose MAGA hat was allegedly stolen, asking if he wants to press charges, and the student responds that he does and then is directed to follow the person.
As the pair of handcuffed students are led away, someone is heard off camera stating, "If that's not white privilege I don't know what the f*** is."
As police lead the arrested individuals through a building, the student who earlier was screaming and crying hysterically upped things quite a bit, getting in the MAGA-hat student's face and bellowing, "Get out! Why are you here?! Why are you here?! Leave!" Someone is then heard telling the MAGA-hat student, "You're escalating the situation. Get the f*** out."
Then inside the campus police station, yet another leftist student wearing a bandana over her face tried to get past police to one of the arrested students and actually appeared to bump chests with a cop. She was immediately turned against a wall and handcuffed as she yelled, "Don't f***ing touch me! What crime are you suspecting me of committing?! Articulate it! Articulate it!"
You can view video of the whole sorry scene right here.
Blaze News previously noted numerous instances during which anti-Trump folks have flipped out at MAGA-hat wearers, taken off or knocked the cap off their heads, or actually stolen them as video recorded the whole thing.

Kamala Harris endorses Biden's radical Supreme Court 'reform' proposal
Vice President Kamala Harris has now endorsed a radical proposal from her boss, Joe Biden, that would overhaul the U.S. Supreme Court, signaling that she has not abandoned her far-left record even as she attempts to win over voters in swing states during the 2024 presidential campaign.
On Monday, Biden proposed three major changes to the makeup and inner workings of SCOTUS, as Blaze News previously reported. Biden wants 18-year term limits as well as a "binding code of conduct" for all justices. Taking aim at the lawfare campaigns he has allegedly unleashed on former President Donald Trump as well as a recent SCOTUS decision regarding presidential immunity, Biden also wants a constitutional amendment proclaiming that "no one is above the law."
Harris continues to champion leftist pipe dreams — such as radically altering one of the three branches of government — that likely appeal to idealogues in California but not to blue-collar workers in Rust Belt states like Pennsylvania and Michigan.
"I share our Founders’ belief that the president’s power is limited, not absolute. We are a nation of laws — not of kings or dictators," Biden apparently wrote.
On Monday evening, Harris announced her support for Biden's SCOTUS "reform" proposal, calling it critical for shoring up public "confidence" in our nation's highest court.
"There is a clear crisis of confidence facing the U.S. Supreme Court. That is why President @JoeBiden and I are calling on Congress to pass important reforms — from imposing term limits to requiring compliance with binding ethics rules," Harris wrote on X.
"And in our democracy, no one should be above the law. So we must also ensure that no former President has immunity for crimes committed while in the White House."
— (@)
As several outlets, including left-wing sources like Vox and the Daily Beast, have noted, the proposal has almost no chance of becoming the law of the land, especially since at least some of the ideas contained within it would require changing the Constitution.
Plus, Biden and Harris have made no effort to advance it along. According to the New York Post, Senate Democrats who would normally be tasked with drawing up legislation about such a proposal were not even briefed on its contents.
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) likewise stated that the Biden-Harris proposal has no chance of passing the House:
This proposal is the logical conclusion to the Biden-Harris Administration and Congressional Democrats’ ongoing efforts to delegitimize the Supreme Court. Their calls to expand and pack the Court will soon resume. It is telling that Democrats want to change the system that has guided our nation since its founding simply because they disagree with some of the Court’s recent decisions. This dangerous gambit of the Biden-Harris Administration is dead on arrival in the House.
But perhaps more importantly, Harris' support for the proposal reveals that she is not attempting to moderate some of her left-wing positions even amidst a tough presidential race. Though some in the media have attempted to obscure her record as the Biden administration border czar and her support for a group that bailed out violent rioters in 2020, Harris continues to champion leftist pipe dreams — such as radically altering one of the three branches of government — that likely appeal to idealogues in California but not to blue-collar workers in Rust Belt states like Pennsylvania and Michigan.

Womp, womp! Massive layoffs hit Media Matters after Elon Musk lawsuit
Media Matters has solely existed to be a watchdog against the right for years, often seeking to ruin the lives of conservatives via cancel culture.
Now, the media company is having massive layoffs after Elon Musk brought it to court in November — and Lauren Chen is not above celebrating.
“They are a leftist watchdog organization that basically just exists to smear right-wing figures. And to be clear, the problem here is not that Media Matters advances, like, leftist talking points kind of, like, the Young Turks. No, Media Matters is really in a totally separate category,” Chen says.
“It seems like all they do is sit around consuming right-wing content, looking for sound bites or unflattering quotes to take out of context in the hopes of canceling right-wing figures,” she continues, adding, “and I therefore hate them.”
Last year, Media Matters messed up when it attempted to smear the wrong person and ended up getting sued by Musk. Media Matters was accused of manufacturing a report to show advertisers’ posts alongside neo-Nazi and white nationalist posts in order to “drive advertisers from the platform and destroy X corp.”
“They were essentially trying to play the algorithm to get really unflattering screenshots for X, even though for the average user this is not at all what would appear if you were using the platform,” Chen explains.
The media company has just now been forced to fire at least a dozen staffers.
“We’re confronting a legal assault on multiple fronts, and given how rapidly the media landscape is shifting, we need to be extremely intentional about how we allocate resources in order to stay effective,” the president of Media Matters, Angelo Carusone, said in a statement.
“For right-wing content creators like myself, that means there’s going to be fewer people out there looking to basically quote mine you in the hopes of destroying your career,” Chen says happily.
