Democratic senator and pal of disgraced Rep. Swalwell gets NAILED with bombshell sexual allegations of his own



Democratic Sen. Ruben Gallego of Arizona had a telling response to the allegations in a New York Post report that he had been sexually involved with at least two staffers in the House of Representatives.

Gallego, who is a close friend of Eric Swalwell, told NBC News when questioned about the report that he was not going to engage in "gossip."

One source called the allegations a part of a 'pattern of mistakes and missteps and judgment calls' from the Democrat.

The Post report cited three sources confirming the two relationships, including one source saying they heard it firsthand from the 46-year-old senator.

Gallego reportedly admitted to the relationships with aides of Texas Democrats to one source, while another source said they had recently learned about the incidents.

A third source also confirmed the report.

The relationships allegedly occurred during the time Gallego was a House representative. The sexual interactions were consensual, and Gallego was not married at the time, according to the sources.

Gallego is considered a possible presidential candidate, but these allegations and any other potential scandals may derail that hope.

One source called the allegations a part of a "pattern of mistakes and missteps and judgment calls" from the Democrat, and the source bluntly wondered if there were more scandals coming.

"What else could there be out there?" the person asked.

One of the women involved was reportedly in her 20s and much younger than Gallego at the time.

Gallago's friend Eric Swalwell was accused of sexual harassment and had to drop his gubernatorial campaign as well as step down from Congress. Speculation swirled as to whether Gallego knew about those allegations before they were public and whether he had his own peccadilloes.

Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida claimed in April to have heard of four women who claimed to have had inappropriate or unwanted attention from the senator. At the time, he responded by denying the "right-wing conspiracies peddled by far-right activists like Anna Paulina Luna, the White House, and their allies" and calling for an apology.

Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) avoided questions about the report.

Gallego did not respond to a request for comment from the Post, nor did the two House staffers reportedly involved.

The senator was also among the Democrats who rescinded their endorsements of Graham Platner, the former senatorial candidate in Maine, over sexual assault accusations.

James Talarico pals around with ‘PEDO PROTECTOR’ who brought a convicted sex offender to a school



Texas Senate hopeful James Talarico not only has a long history of strange comments about trans children and a nonbinary God — he’s now campaigning with Bobby Pulido, who BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales warns is a “pedo protector.”

“Bobby Pulido is not just close with James Talarico. Bobby Pulido is besties with the entire Texas Democrat team, I guess, because Bobby Pulido kicked off the entire Texas Democrat convention last week as per his own tweets,” Gonzales says, explaining that Pulido is a famous musician.

“In his band, he employs an accordion player by the name of Frankie Caballero. Now, Frankie’s not a good guy. Frankie is in fact a total creep, because you see, Frankie is on the sex offender registry for sexually assaulting an 8-year-old in 2014,” she says, warning that this is the most egregious offense on his lengthy rap sheet.


“Be that as it may, the offense wasn’t enough for Pulido to stop touring with him, because both before and after Caballero went to prison for this, for four years, he was touring with the band. He was part of the band,” she explains.

And while the band was touring, they headlined an Axios school benefit. So Pulido headlined a school benefit with a registered sex offender.

“Children were welcome and present at the event, which was held at the Flores Stadium several miles from the middle school grounds according to the promotional materials. So he’s like, ‘Hey, you just busted out of prison for doing unspeakable things to an 8-year-old child. Want to go to a middle school event with me?’” Gonzales says.

“I mean, it takes just the lowest of the low person to do something like that,” she continues.

It was until after 2021 that Pulido stopped touring with Caballero, which Gonzales points out was after he pled guilty to assaulting his daughter and “impeding her normal breathing.”

While Pulido claimed he didn’t know about Caballero’s prior convictions, Ramon Rodriquez, a south Texas bass player, told the New York Post that he “performed with Caballero as recently as 2020 and that the child sex conviction became ‘a known fact in music circles’ in the immediate years after.”

“Seems kind of weird that James Talarico and the rest of the Democrats are hanging their hat on this guy who’s associating with an actual convicted pedophile,” Gonzales says, adding, “That’s what blows my mind.”

Liz Wheeler: ‘Crimes detected’ in LA election firestorm as ‘homeless drug addicts’ registered by the thousands



After the extremely popular Spencer Pratt fell behind no-name Nithya Raman in the Los Angeles mayoral race, BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler believed there was possible election fraud.

Now, she’s sure of it.

“Today we have crimes detected for you,” Wheeler says. “But let’s make one thing very clear first. The California election system is completely rigged. And you and I have zero obligation to simply accept that because California is 'Commie-fornia.'”

These “crimes detected” were covered in a recent report by the New York Post, where it found that “thousands of homeless voters ... were registered to vote at L.A. shelters, despite many not living there or the facilities not having any beds.”

And in an interview this week with Will Chamberlain, he theorized to Wheeler that “there was going to be some centralized location where an unreasonable amount of these homeless people all had their ballots sent.”


“That’s exactly what the New York Post found,” Wheeler says.

“As Spencer Pratt was eliminated by Nithya Raman in the mayor’s race on Monday night, it can be revealed that one drop-in center ... that received $600,000 from the socialist candidate ... had 185 voters at the address but offers no accommodations,” the article reads.

“So not only is this one of the centralized locations that Will speculated about yesterday, 185 people registered here, doesn’t even have beds, and it’s tied monetarily to Nithya Raman. The New York Post says the revelations have prompted U.S. Attorney [for the Central District of California] Bill Essayli to say that he will investigate the concerns uncovered by the Post,” Wheeler comments.

The Post also uncovered that the drop-in center that received $600,000 from Raman was taxpayer funded.

“The corruption of these people, it can never be overstated,” Wheeler says.

When the Post contacted Raman’s campaign as well as the L.A. shelter, not only did the campaign not respond — but a photograph of Raman presenting a check was taken down from the shelter’s website.

“This is taxpayer money that Nithya Raman gave to this place,” Wheeler says, adding, “Your money if you live in the city of Los Angeles.”

The ‘no-contact’ epidemic: Why so many adult children are cutting off their parents



The “no-contact" trend has exploded in recent years. Popularized primarily on social media, it refers to adult children deliberately cutting off all communication with their parents or family members (often at the instruction of a therapist), typically to protect their mental health from perceived toxicity or because of ideological differences.

This isn’t some fleeting fad either. According to a New York Post survey, 38% of Americans have gone no contact with a friend or family member; Reddit’s “EstrangedAdultChild” community has skyrocketed in membership in recent years; and TikTok has roughly half a million posts (with well over a billion total views) featuring #nocontact.

Severing ties with one’s family has become an epidemic.

On a recent episode of “Relatable,” Allie Beth Stuckey addressed this movement through a biblical lens.


Allie argues that the no-contact trend is a branch of “therapy culture,” which tends to elevate the self above all else.

“[No contact] is one particular manifestation of what I call the cult of self-affirmation, which tells you if you learn to find fulfillment and love and satisfaction within yourself, if you go on this road of self-discovery, you will go so deeply inside yourself that you will unlock the manifestation of all of your dreams,” she says, noting that this mindset and practice have ties to the New Age as well.

But Jesus, Allie says, clearly instructs us to take the focus off of ourselves.

“Remember Jesus' words: If you want to find yourself, you lose yourself. If you want to live, you must die. If you want to gain what I offer you, you must lose all of these things,” she says.

But the mindset behind the no-contact movement is the antithesis of Christ’s instruction.

“It's not that you have to deny yourself; it's that you have to deny others. If you want to gain, it's not that you have to lose yourself in what you have. You have to lose others,” says Allie, calling it “the worshiping of the god of self.”

Allie acknowledges, however, that boundaries are sometimes necessary in a parent-adult child relationship.

“If you're talking about actual harmful, hateful actions and words, OK, like that's one conversation to have,” she says. “The problem with this is that this category of justification for going no contact is so large, and it encompasses everything from petty offense to political disagreements to not liking your parents' tone to your parents in your mind just being too judgmental.”

“There are so many reasons that are covered under this that I think are awful reasons to cut off your parents,” she adds bluntly.

So what’s the Christian response to the no-contact movement?

To answer this question, Allie begins by playing an old clip of Charlie Kirk addressing the issue of having difficult parents.

“Even if your parents share values and views and a worldview that you do not have, you are biblically obligated to honor them, which means to spend time with them and to love on them and to go visit them. ... If you are incapable in this case of honoring your earthly father, you will never honor your heavenly Father,” he declared.

Scripture corroborates this repeatedly. Allie displays several verses that explicitly instruct children to honor their parents.

There are no caveats to this either.

“There's nothing there that says [honor your mother and father] as long as they're still nice to you, as long as they agree with you, as long as they're not emotionally immature, as long as they don't do anything to you that makes you angry ... as long as you can't think back in your life to any time that they didn't treat you fairly,” says Allie.

But she acknowledges that this is no easy journey — especially for those whose parents were genuinely abusive or neglectful.

“It takes a lot of the power of God to say, ‘Even if you didn't treat me well, I am going to treat you well,”’ says Allie. “That's what Christians are called to. That is the radical kind of love that the world who says they know what love is does not understand.”

We are called to this sacrificial, unconditional love, she says, because that’s the kind of love Christ extends to us.

“Even when we were spitting on Him and mocking Jesus, even when our sin placed Him on the cross, He said, ‘Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do,”’ says Allie. “That's the craziness that Jesus brought forth.”

'How is this any different from "whites only"?' Sara Gonzales confronts organizer of Muslim-only water park event



Earlier this week, BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales blasted a Muslim-only event for taking over a water park in Grand Prairie, Texas — and Governor Greg Abbott (R) swiftly threatened to pull funding from the city and shut it down.

What initially caught Gonzales’ eye was the event flyer, which said “Muslims only” twice. The flyer was later updated to say “modest dress only” once it became a topic of controversy.

“I want to just set the record straight, because I know there’s been a lot of confusion. You did have the ‘Muslims only’ on the original flyer, and then you changed it and updated it on the site to read ‘modest dress only,' correct?" Gonzales asks the organizer of the event, Dr. Aminah Knight.

“Absolutely, absolutely,” Knight responds.


Knight explains that in years past, the flyer has only been circulated privately and never caused any issues until now.

“A few days ago, the New York Post contacted me, and they said, ‘Hey, did you know that your flyer in this event is going viral?’ And I’m like, ‘What are you talking about?’” Knight tells Gonzales.

“And then my husband also let me know, ‘Hey, there’s this guy who, he’s kind of historic for having Islamaphobic rhetoric, to be honest. He got ahold of the flyer, and he is saying, "Oh my gosh, the Muslims are doing this event. They’re trying to exclude people" and X, Y, and Z,'" she continues.

“And so I quickly changed the flyer,” she adds.

“It does read like you were trying to exclude non-Muslims, and I just wonder, you know, I know that you feel like you were wronged in this, but I just wonder if you feel like it would be fair for, say, a private group to rent out a publicly funded water park and put on, you know, their posters, ‘This is for whites only,’” Gonzales argues.

Knight responds that unlike white people, marginalized groups like the black and Muslim communities “oftentimes need to take a moment to gather, fortify each other and then go back out into the world.”

She also tells Gonzales that at the heart of the event are young Muslim girls, whom she wants to inspire to dress modestly in a society where the “standard of beauty that they see around them has to do with how sexy they are and how much of their skin they can show.”

“My question actually was how is this any different than … a whites-only, you know, KKK party at a publicly funded water park?” Gonzales says, pointing out that there are discrimination laws under which you cannot have private events that exclude people based on religion.

“So how do you think that that’s OK?” she asks.

“Muslims uphold a modest dress code, and we’re celebrating our EID events. … I didn’t think anything was wrong with that,” Knight responds, later telling Gonzales that she did not expect Gonzales to “be so aggressive.”

“By asking if it would be OK if we could do a whites-only event as well and how that was different?” Gonzales asks.

“It’s just your tone,” Knight says.

The REAL story of the Hunter Biden laptop scandal from the reporter who broke the news



Emma Morris was only 27 years old and six months into her employment at the New York Post when she got a call in late September 2020 from former Trump adviser Steve Bannon saying he had a story that would “change her life.”

“He says, ‘I have Hunter Biden’s computer,”’ Morris recounts on “The Glenn Beck Program.”

Initially, Emma was “skeptical of the source,” given that both Bannon and Rudy Giuliani (who was in possession of a copy of the hard drive) were campaigning for President Trump. Despite being a dedicated conservative who likes Trump and “wanted the story to be true,” Emma was committed to true journalism and thus determined not to be blinded by her political views.

“My capacity as an editor is to relay the truth as closely as I can, not to campaign for Trump,” she tells Glenn.

When the New York Post gave her the greenlight to pursue the story, Emma was immediately overwhelmed by the sheer volume of documents she had to sort through just to pinpoint the angle the story would take.

“I called my boss, my editor in chief, Michelle Gotthelf, ... and I was like, ‘I don’t know how to make sense of all of this. It’s too much,’” she recounts.

Gotthelf’s advice was brilliant: “Find me where Joe Biden comes into this.”

“And that was when it clicked,” Emma says.

Her search narrowed in on roughly “10 documents” that involved Joe Biden, which then had to be verified for authenticity given the laptop had been through “a chain of custody.”

“The way that we were able to do that was very simple. ... We had the contact lists in his phone book, which was also on the laptop. ... And we just called them and said, ‘Hey, it’s the New York Post. I’m going to read you something. Can you tell me if it sounds familiar?’” Emma says.

As she began making these calls, one thing became clear: “It wasn’t Hunter, you know, scurrying around the world himself.”

“There was business partners, and some of those partners had either been burned, some of them had gone to jail, some of them had realized that this is too much. Everyone was receptive,” Emma says.

The response to the story the New York Post broke was shocking.

“I expected conservative media to pick it up. ... And that wasn’t what happened at all. As it turned out, the CIA was upset,” Emma says.

“We published at 5 a.m. By like 7 a.m. latest, it was completely blacklisted on Twitter. ... Within two hours, it was classified as child porn internally,” she explains.

It later came out that the FBI had been in possession of the physical laptop since December of 2019 and was actively preparing Twitter executives to treat any breaking story about Hunter Biden as Russian disinformation.

WNBA commissioner accuses reporter of sexist question — and no one is buying it



WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert managed to steal the focus away from her league on draft night.

The WNBA received premium treatment by airing on ESPN's flagship channel in prime time on Monday night, but it was actually the pre-draft press conference that has made a lasting impression with viewers online.

'As women, we get asked different questions than men do.'

With just one simple question from New York Post reporter Madeline Kenney, Engelbert went viral for her odd response.

"How much longer do you anticipate to be in this role?" Kenney asked.

Engelbert immediately attacked the premise:

"I do crack up how everybody's focused on me," the commissioner began. "And you should be focused on the hundreds of amazing women and thousands of women who run this league outside of myself ... my whole team of, you know, diverse women and men who are working hard every day to get the 30th season tipped off by May 8," she went on.

Bizarrely, Engelbert then asked if the reporter would dare question a male commissioner the same way.

"I wonder whether you would ask that of a man, by the way. But I realize, as women, we get asked different questions than men do."

"I would," the reporter quickly affirmed.

However, those siding with Engelbert were few and far between online, with fans and reporters alike pointing out how often major sports commissioners do receive questions about their tenure and even face calls for resignation.

"Its [sic] always asked of men. Like, all the time," one fan responded on X.

"Has she not seen people calling for the heads of every commissioner of every sport?" a Brooklyn Nets fan wrote.

A New York Yankees fan replied, "There is literally nothing wrong with asking that. Give me a break."

Sports journalists did not offer much solace for the commissioner either. Even Jemele Hill, a reporter from the Athletic known for her frequent political commentary from the left, chimed in:

"If a man had her track record, absolutely" he would be asked, Hill wrote.

There was really no shortage of sports reporters who disagreed with the WNBA boss, including female reporters.

"This would be asked of a man and has," wrote Front Row Sports' Annie Costabile. "Her response was a failed attempt at diverting from the discussions about her job security."

As well, NBC Sports' Nicole Auerbach noted that "male pro sports commissioners get asked questions about their future all the time." Auerbach called it a "totally valid question" that garnered a "fascinating, super-defensive response."

Greg Wyshynski, senior NHL writer at ESPN, wrote on X that NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman "gets asked this question so often that he's taken to preemptively answering it before it’s asked."

Less than a month ago, Bettman was asked directly whether he had plans to step down.

"Absolutely not," Bettman said, per Sports Illustrated. "You keep trying to get rid of me. No such luck."

In February, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver faced calls to be fired, while NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is routinely asked if he will step down, typically following an embarrassing incident in his league.

She stood up for women’s soccer. Her team called her racist.



Former professional soccer player Elizabeth Eddy made headlines when she wrote an op-ed in the New York Post calling for clear biological sex eligibility standards in the National Women’s Soccer League to protect the fairness of women’s soccer — but it was not received well by her fellow players.

Eddy received intense backlash from her Angel City FC teammates, who publicly accused the piece of being harmful, transphobic, and racially motivated.

Unlike those teammates, BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey is grateful to Eddy for sounding the alarm on what’s really going on in women’s sports.

“She did not back down,” Stuckey says, before asking Eddy about the initial response to her article.


“What ended up happening is, the article came out ... and then before every game, our captains get sent out to the press to do media. ... And the two captains shared their thoughts on the article, and they spoke on behalf of the team and the organization,” Eddy tells Stuckey.

“And that was really, really hard to hear because I’d had conversations with both of them in the past, and I was really close with both of them to the point where they were both invited to our wedding. One of them helped my fiancé plan the proposal,” she continues.

And while the article was not “racist” or “transphobic,” her teammates still claimed it was.

“I’ve had a lot of convos with my teammates in the past few days, and they are hurt and they are harmed by the article, and also they are disgusted by some of the things that were said in the article, and it’s really important for me to say that,” one of her teammates said at the press conference.

“And we don’t agree with the things written for a plethora of reasons, but mostly the undertones come across as transphobic and racist as well,” her teammate added.

“I was 100% shocked because ... the words I wrote, there’s no way that could be conceived,” Eddy explains.

“Were you able to have a private conversation with them? ... After they accused you, racist, transphobic, all of these things, were you able to have a reasonable discussion to be able to say, ‘Well, no, this is what I meant, and this is why it’s not racist,’ or was that not able to happen?” Stuckey asks.

While Eddy admits that those teammates who publicly discussed her article were not willing to have a private discussion with her, she did hear from multiple teammates that they didn’t stand by what the captain said.

“Were you disappointed by any people who said, ‘I completely agree with you, I support you, but I could never do that’?” Stuckey asks.

“Yeah, there’s a part of me that’s like, come on, because if you do, it snowballs and this thing actually changes in a shorter time frame than not. But at the same time, I can totally empathize with them because it was so hard for me to do this,” Eddy answers.

“I was waffling for months about it,” she adds.

Trump's hilarious response after intel reportedly tells him Iran's new supreme leader might be gay



The White House has reportedly obtained intelligence that Iran's new supreme leader could be gay, sparking a hilarious response from President Donald Trump.

Trump reportedly burst into laughter after being briefed that Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei may be gay, according to the New York Post.

Notably, homosexual conduct is a capital offense in Iran.

Others found it amusing as well, including a senior intelligence official who "has not stopped laughing about it for days," the Post reported.

Mojtaba's late father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in a targeted airstrike conducted by the United States and Israel, reportedly had reservations about his son's suitability to lead Iran due to his potential homosexuality.

Two intelligence sources told the Post that Mojtaba had a "long-term sexual relationship" with his childhood tutor, while another intelligence source said he had an affair "with a person who formerly worked for the Khamenei family."

Education in Iran is almost always strictly segregated by gender with very limited exceptions.

Although American intelligence agencies don't have photographic evidence to confirm Mojtaba's alleged homosexuality, one source said the intel was "derived from one of the most protected sources the government has."

"The fact that this was elevated to the highest of high levels shows you there's some confidence in this," another source told the Post.

The White House did not provide comment to Blaze News.

Notably, homosexual conduct is a capital offense in Iran, with some gay Iranians having been publicly executed.

"If there was ever a time where it was OK to out somebody, it would be when it's a leader of a repressive Islamic theocracy that hangs gay people by cranes," one source told the Post.
