Democrats hijack Jesse Jackson’s funeral to push their agenda — but Jackson’s son isn’t having it
What was supposed to be a solemn farewell quickly turned political.
Despite a direct request from Rev. Jesse Jackson Jr. asking mourners to leave politics out of the funeral service for his father, several high-profile Democrats used the occasion to deliver pointed political remarks.
“Over the weekend, they decided to hijack the funeral service for Reverend Jesse Jackson to push their radical ideologies. Now you’re probably thinking, well, Jesse Jackson was very, very political. Jesse Jackson was very radical,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales comments.
“According to his son, that was the last thing that he wanted. So let’s back up a bit. Several weeks ago, after Jesse Jackson had passed, his son Jesse Jackson Jr. warned people not to bring politics to his funeral service,” she says.
“Do not bring your politics out of respect to Reverend Jesse Jackson and the life that he lived to these homegoing services. Come respectful, and come to say thank you. But these homegoing services are welcome to all: Democrat, Republican, liberal, and conservative, right-wing, left-wing,” his son announced.
“Because his life is broad enough to cover the full spectrum of what it means to be an American. We only ask people to come and be respectful in the context of the extraordinary life that he lived,” he added.
“Seems very clear, a very clear and polite warning from Jesse Jackson Jr. But you guys are going to be shocked to hear, Democrats didn’t care,” Gonzales comments, before playing a clip of former President Barack Obama from the funeral.
“Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law. Each day we’re told by those in high office to fear each other and to turn on each other and that some Americans count more than others,” Obama said.
“And that some don’t even count at all. Everywhere we see greed and bigotry being celebrated, and bullying and mockery masquerading as strength. We see science and expertise denigrated while ignorance and dishonesty and cruelty and corruption are reaping untold rewards every single day,” he continued.
But Obama wasn’t the only one.
Kamala Harris also took the stage at Jackson’s funeral to ignore his son’s pleas.
“So let me just say, I predicted a lot about what’s happening right now,” Harris said, laughing.
Former President Joe Biden also joined in — though his contribution was mostly unintelligible.
“I’ve forgotten how much I enjoyed watching these clips, and honestly, I enjoy them much more that he’s not president because it was terrifying when he was president,” Gonzales comments.
However, Jesse Jackson’s son did not enjoy their speeches as much as Gonzales did.
“I listened for several hours of three United States presidents who do not know Jesse Jackson. He maintained a tense relationship with the political order. Not because the presidents were white or black, but the demands of our message,” Jackson said in response.
“The demands of speaking for the least of these, those who were disinherited, the damned, the dispossessed, the disrespected. Demanded not Democratic or Republican solutions, but demanded a consistent prophetic voice,” he added.

WATCH: Sara Gonzales crowns the most unhinged trans meltdown yet
“You may think that you have seen the funniest, greatest clip of a trans meltdown,” says BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales, but you’d be wrong.
On this episode of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered,” Sara plays what she believes is one of the most, if not the most, unhinged video of a transgender-identifying person losing their marbles on the internet.
The video, posted by self-described political commentator Ryley Niemi, captures Niemi interacting with a man pretending to be a woman. Niemi repeatedly calls the man, who has fake breasts and dresses in female clothing, "sir" while asking questions like, "What do you think of Nick Fuentes?"
This triggers an enraged reaction from the man, who repeatedly insists that misgendering is “a felony” in the state of California.
When Niemi correctly counters him by pointing out that misgendering is “not a felony,” the man responds, “You are wrong and dangerous, dangerous, dangerous wrong.”
He then begins to scream, “Felony one! Felony one! Anybody else want to commit a serious hate crime?!”
The humorous encounter reminds Sara of another viral video in which another man dressed as a woman screams, “It’s ma’am!” over and over again to a store cashier who called him sir. As he storms out of the store dropping expletives and challenging the cashier to “take it outside,” he angrily kicks over a product display.
“Total man energy,” Sara laughs, admitting that she “can’t pick” which trans rage video is the funniest.
“Trans videos are like Lays potato chips. You can't just pick one,” she laughs.
To see the two videos plus other top contenders, watch the episode above.

Abortions on demand? Ryan Walters exposes how schools are brainwashing kids
When former Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters discovered a disturbing flyer included in a kit allegedly distributed to union teachers across the country — he couldn’t help but sound the alarm.
“You shared this flyer that was part of an ‘everyone’s welcome here’ kit with the rainbow flag. And this was distributed to union teachers across the country,” Gonzales says, showing a photo of the flyer.
“So curious thing, when you scan that QR code, do I have this correctly, Ryan? It takes you to a website where you can book an abortion?” she continues.
“Yes. ... They don’t even hide it,” Walters replies.
“I mean, it is, ‘OK, we’re going to trans your kid,’ ‘We want your kids to be gay,’ and then, ‘By the way, kids, here’s a direct line to how you get abortions,’” he explains.
While their excuse is usually just that they’re “informing” the students of their options, Walters claims that's a lie.
“No, this goes even a step further, going, 'We will help you get these abortions,'” he tells Gonzales.
“You see Gavin Newsom all in on this. You see the teachers' unions all in on this, of again, what we’re pushing is indoctrination, but then also funneling you into the means to carry these things out, and again, all behind a parent's back,” he explains.
“We saw the teachers' unions in Florida, California, across the country go, ‘Hey, we’ve got to shield the parents from the information their kids are getting at school.’ I mean, they literally sued the DeSantis administration in Florida to not allow parents to see the syllabus of what’s being taught in a course,” he adds.
“What an insult to injury,” Gonzales chimes in. “You are paying our salaries, but we don’t have to report back to you what we’re teaching your children."
"It’s the ultimate slap in the face for a parent,” Walters says.

Sara Gonzales weighs in on Noem’s DHS exit — and she’s got questions
Last week, President Donald Trump announced that he is replacing Kristi Noem as secretary of homeland security and nominating Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R) to the position, while reassigning Noem to a new role as special envoy for the Shield of the Americas.
When BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales got the news, her very first reaction was: “Why wasn’t it Pam Bondi?”
“That actually is the biggest shock to me. … You’re putting people on the chopping block, and Pam Bondi wasn’t the first one?” she asks.
While Sara will continue to “hold that hope” that Bondi will eventually be replaced, for now it's Noem who has taken the hit.
Sara revisits President Trump’s Truth Social post announcing the shake-up:
“I mean, you gotta hand it to him. He is loyal. He does regard loyalty in the highest esteem. … He doesn't want to actually fire anyone. That was just for the TV show,” says Sara, referring to “The Apprentice,” the reality series that aired on NBC from January 2004 to 2017, where Trump coined the iconic “you’re fired” gesture.
“He just makes up new jobs for these people to go take so he doesn't have to be like, ‘Yeah, we just didn't like her.’ ... He's like, ‘Well, she's going to be the special envoy for the Shield of Americas, which we don't actually have yet, but we should, and we will, beginning this weekend, because I fired her and had to find a spot for her,”’ she laughs.
But Sara's got another big question mark hanging over Noem’s replacement.
“I don't understand why we are pulling senators away from our already slim majority when you could have brought in Tom Homan, right?” she says.
“Are we trying to lose the majority? I don't understand what the goal is here.”

Smug CNN journalist HUMILIATED after gotcha question backfired
A tense exchange between press secretary Karoline Leavitt and CNN’s Kaitlan Collins unfolded at a recent White House press briefing — and BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales couldn’t be more impressed with the way Leavitt handled it.
“You have CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, who started out at the Daily Caller, was hired by Tucker Carlson. She was writing for conservative media, and somewhere along the way, her brain melted,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales explains.
“So clearly, it is her life’s mission now to just make Donald Trump look bad,” she says.
“Is it the position of this administration that the press should not prominently cover the deaths of U.S. service members?” Collins asked White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt at a recent press conference.
“No,” Leavitt answered. “It’s the position of this administration that the press in this room and the press across the country should accurately report on the success of Operation Epic Fury.”
“So we can all be very grateful that we have an administration and that we have men and women in our armed forces who are willing to sacrifice their own lives for the rest of us in this room and for every American across the country and for every troop that is based in the Middle East,” she added.
Collins then interjected that Pete Hegseth “was complaining that it was front-page news about these six service members who were killed.”
“That’s not what the secretary said, Kaitlin, and that’s not what the secretary meant. And you know it — you know you’re being disingenuous. We’ve never had a secretary of defense who cares more,” Leavitt responded.
Collins again interjected, reading Hegseth’s comment, which included that "the press only wants to make the president look bad.”
“The press does only want to make the president look bad. That’s a fact,” Leavitt said.
“We expect you to cover that as you should, Kaitlan. But you and your network know that you take every single thing this administration says and tries to use it to make the president look bad,” she added.
Collins continued to argue, but she was no match for Leavitt, who pointed out that “CNN’s overwhelming coverage” of President Donald Trump is “negative” and that the American people would agree with that.
“There’s no disputing that,” Gonzales comments. “The American people don’t want to hear from CNN, because we all know this is, of course, the agenda. This is the playbook. It’s the only playbook that they have.”

WATCH: Pro-trans activist allegedly threatens to KILL protester on camera — ‘I’m gonna hunt you down and f**king kill you’
“I’ve dealt with a lot when it comes to the LGBTQIA+ two-spirit, whatever the hell else you want to add in there, community. ... But sometimes I watch a clip of this gang, and it shocks even me,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales says.
The clip Sara is referring to allegedly captures an incident from February at the California Democratic Party convention in San Francisco. The video went viral on social media earlier this month after journalist Andy Ngo published a detailed report.
In the clip, parental rights activist Beth Bourne questions a woman, who is reportedly the mother of a trans-identifying child, about medical interventions for minors. After a brief exchange where Bourne pressed the woman on topics like profits from gender-affirming surgeries on children and grotesque surgical procedures, the woman allegedly leaned in and whispered a death threat, “I’m gonna hunt you down and f**king kill you,” before walking away.
On this episode of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered,” Sara is joined by Bourne as she shares why she’s fighting the trans movement.
Bourne, who serves as the Yolo County chapter chairwoman of Moms for Liberty, says she’s motivated to fight against the trans movement regardless of the dangers because the gender ideology that fuels it has personally impacted her life.
“My daughter and my family, we were very much harmed by this ideology and this belief system in our public schools, and I didn’t realize what the teachers and counselors were saying to my daughter or what she was learning at school,” she tells Sara.
When her daughter came out as trans when she was still a minor, “her pediatricians here in Davis wanted to immediately medicalize her,” she explains.
Bourne was able to stop any gender transition procedures, and today, she reports, her daughter is “healthy and whole.”
“I have all the receipts; I have the medical records; I have the curriculum from the schools. And so I just realized I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t do everything I could to end this because I have so many friends, and I’ve met so many parents and young people, detransitioners, that have been harmed by this,” she says.
Bourne has gone to great lengths to expose the trans movement as deeply harmful — even going so far as pretending to be nonbinary.
“It was so easy,” Bourne says of her charade.
“Within 45 minutes after me declaring my nonbinary gender identity, they had me meeting with a primary care physician to get on testosterone. That took eight minutes. They changed my medical records that day to change my pronouns and my gender,” she recounts.
In a matter of a few months, Bourne was approved for a simultaneous double mastectomy and phalloplasty.
“No matter what I said to them about having mental illness in my family or been sexually assaulted ... or having anorexia or eating disorders — you know, common things that young women have experienced, or in my case, older women — they were still so happy to give me the surgery,” she says.
“And they rushed [the surgeries],” she adds.

Sara Gonzales reveals businesses tied to a single office suite — sponsoring foreign workers who allegedly never show up
BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales’ first documentary on H-1B visa abuse was only the beginning. What started as an investigation into shell companies listing residential addresses has expanded into something far larger: office “hives” where dozens of businesses claim the same suite number while sponsoring foreign workers whose physical presence is difficult to verify.
“One of the things we’re noticing as we dig through all of this data, the issue isn’t just multiple people working out of one location, which by the way, there’s nothing wrong with, right? There’s nothing wrong with that. But what we’re seeing is multiple businesses opening out of a single location and then sponsoring visas,” Gonzales explains.
“Now we're calling these hives, multiple companies listing the same address on their paperwork. For example, in this one office,” she continues, “... we found at least 19 companies so far that use this single suite all at the same time.”
“Either they’re listing it as their business address, or they’re saying that they have workers there present at that work site location,” she adds.
When Gonzales visited another “hive,” she was told by a woman on site that the companies she was looking for were not there anymore or never come into the office.
“Very strange. Why are all of these companies listing a suite when the companies clearly don’t exist here? It’s an address to an entire building. They say they’ve never heard of any of these companies, and the companies that they have heard of never come in. We’d never see these people. They have no physical presence at this location,” Gonzales says.
When confronted by Gonzales, the husband of the owner of one company she was investigating explained that they went through the legal process to get seven H-1B workers approved — but those workers never showed up.
However, his wife, the legitimate owner, claimed they were all at the office.
“The funny thing about all these public access files is that a business has to maintain them even if their employees apparently never even come,” Gonzales says, playing a clip of the husband asking what a “public access file” is.
“These people are legally required to maintain their public access files, even after the employment ends for a period of time. But here’s the thing. These files are just, they’re just basic. A couple of word documents,” Gonzales says.
And while Gonzales isn’t declaring “fraud” just yet, she does point out that “there are enough holes in the story here” that “show how easy it is for companies to just get approved for visa workers, only for them to just vanish into thin air.”
“They could literally be anywhere right now,” she says, adding, “We have no idea.”
