Former U.S. Representative Katie Porter took the stage at the California Democratic convention on Saturday, holding up a large sign that read “F-ck Trump.”
“I’m running for governor,” Porter said, continuing her vulgarities, “because I’m willing and ready to get sh-t done.”
“Together, we’re going to kick Trump’s ass in November,” Porter added. “I’ll stand up to Trump and his cronies, just like I did in Congress. With or without my whiteboard. But this election is about more than defeating Trump.”
The cringeworthy stunt, which comes as Porter ramps up her campaign for California governor, was captured on video by Loomer Unleashed.

Porter, known for her aggressive political style, has a history of angsty rhetoric and public clashes.
Last October, videos emerged showing her in a heated exchange with a CBS News interviewer, abruptly walking out, and another incident in which she berated a staffer for interrupting her live shot.

The crass “F-ck Trump” message has been a growing trend among Democrat politicians looking to make themselves seem edgy.
Earlier in the week, Illinois Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton released a campaign ad featuring several Illinois residents, including Sen. Tammy Duckworth, chanting the same phrase.

Unfortunately, the wine aunts that comprise Stratton and Porter’s bases are likely loving the performative outrage.

Jean Luck Brunel, in a promo pic and playing with Ghislaine Maxwell in ‘Pedophile Island’.
Brunel contemplated flipping on Epstein.
We often hear analysts, politicians or victims complaining that Ghislaine Maxwell ended up being the only member of the Jeffrey Epstein trafficking ring to face justice.
But this complaint, while it has merit, is not completely accurate, because it ignores the sordid saga of French modeling agent and alleged serial rapist Jean-Luc Brunel.
Late Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre said he ‘raped [her] repeatedly in New York and on Epstein’s island’.
From her 2015 testimony: ‘He was another of Epstein’s powerful friends who had many contacts with young girls throughout the world. In fact, his only similarity with Epstein and the only link to their friendship appeared to be that Brunel could get dozens of underage girls and feed Epstein’s (and Maxwell’s) strong appetite for sex with minors’.
Additionally, she said that ‘Jeffrey Epstein has told me that he has slept with over 1,000 of Brunel’s girls, and everything that I have seen confirms this claim’.
In her posthumous memoir ‘Nobody’s Girl’, Giuffre added: “I’ll never forget how Epstein and Brunel looked at one another as they abused girls side by side. They were truly gloating, taking a mutual malignant pleasure in our misfortune.”
Now, the DOJ-released files show Brunel contemplated flipping and testifying against Epstein, before he was found ‘suicided’ in his La Santé prison cell.

EPSTEIN FILES BOMBSHELL: HE HAD THE PHOTOS, HE HAD THE NAMES, AND HE WAS READY TO TALK… THEN HE ENDED UP DEAD
Jean-Luc Brunel, Epstein’s top model recruiter, was secretly negotiating with prosecutors in 2016 to testify against Epstein in exchange for immunity.

Daily Mail reported:
“One-time top modeling agency boss Jean-Luc Brunel was prepared to turn on his longtime friend Jeffrey Epstein but suddenly stopped cooperating after the pedophile was informed about his negotiations with officials.”
Documents reveal that Brunel secretly negotiated with lawyers representing some of Epstein’s victims in 2016, saying that he had incriminating photos of Epstein.
A date was discussed for him to speak with federal prosecutors in New York in exchange for immunity.
Ghislaine Maxell opens up ger top while massaging Epstein’s feel, while Brunel’s attention is focused elsewhere in the ‘Lolita Express’.
‘Brunel is afraid of being prosecuted,’ a prosecutor noted, saying he had ‘photographic evidence’ and ‘doesn’t want to implicate himself’.
“It remains unclear what prompted Brunel to change his mind about testifying against the pedophile, but the decision apparently came after Epstein found out that federal prosecutors were seeking to negotiate with his friend.”
So, on May 3, 2016, Epstein emailed former Obama White House Counsel Kathy Ruemmler in his almost illegible style:

“I spoke to Michel Kudesh, Jean Luc’s friend. He said that [attorney for victims] Boie got Jean-Luc full immunity, and was taking him in to US Attorney next Tuesday. […] He asked for 3 million dollars so that Jean-Luc would not go in.”
“Epstein also told the attorney, who resigned from her top position at Goldman Sachs last week, that Brunel was afraid he would be arrested if he failed to attend the meeting. ‘I want to know more,’ Epstein wrote in the typo-laden email, in which he also dismissed Brunel’s lawyer and his friends as ‘scammers’ and cast doubt on their credibility.”

Once again, the Radical Left’s favorite Squad member is substituting actual policy knowledge with absolute theatrical melodrama.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, AOC delivered one of the most humiliating performances by a U.S. politician in modern history at the Munich Security Conference. She made a host of mind-boggling gaffes in response to simple questions while botching basic geography.
In one instance, a moderator at the event asked AOC if the US should commit troops to defend against China, and she turned into a stuttering mess.
“Um, you know, I think that, uh, this is such a, uh, you know, I — I think that this is a, umm, this is of course a, uh, a very longstanding, um, policy of the United States – uh and I think what we are hoping for is we want to make sure that we never get to that point,” AOC said.
“And we want to make sure that we are moving all of our economic research and global positions to avoid any such confrontation and for that question to even arise,” she said.
In addition to the ugly episode, AOC also incorrectly stated that Venezuela was below the equator and called Secretary of State Marco Rubio racist for saying cowboys came from Spain.
AOC then called The New York Times and vented her fury over the coverage of her gaffes and the questions she was asked.
“This reporter came up to me and was like, ‘Is Munich the new New Hampshire?’ And I cannot say enough how out of touch and missing the point, genuinely, that is,” AOC whined during the interview with the Times.
“Global democracies are on fire the world over, and established parties are falling to right-wing populist movements.”
AOC continued to complain about the media clips that went viral, saying, “Any five-to-10-second thing” only serves to “distract from the substance of what I am saying.”
AOC later took to Instagram, her voice wavering and her eyes welling up, as she pushed back hard against claims that she lacks ‘serious foreign policy chops.’
“If you think that I don’t understand foreign policy because, out of hours of discourse about international affairs, I pause to think about one of the most sensitive geopolitical issues that currently exists on Earth, I’m afraid the issue is not my understanding, but rather that perhaps you’ve grown accustomed to a president who never thinks before he speaks.”

The California political machine is officially in panic mode.
With the June 2026 primary fast approaching, a shocking new reality is setting in for the Golden State’s Democrat establishment: the very voting system they championed could shut them out of the Governor’s mansion completely.
Unlike most states that hold partisan primaries, California dumps all candidates from all parties into one single primary election.
The only rule?

The top two vote-getters advance to the general election
Party affiliation doesn’t matter

That means:
If Democrats split their vote among multiple candidates, and Republicans consolidate behind just one or two, it is entirely possible for two Republicans to advance to the November runoff, shutting Democrats out completely.
Democrats vastly outnumber Republicans statewide.
But polls now suggest that may not be enough this time.
While the Democrat field remains hopelessly fractured, conservative candidates are surging to the front of the pack, according to a brand-new Emerson College poll released this month.
The latest numbers show exactly why Democrats are sounding the alarm:

Steve Hilton (R): 17%
Chad Bianco (R): 14%
Eric Swalwell (D): 14%
Katie Porter (D): 10%
Tom Steyer (D): 9%

New York Post reported:
California Democrats are panicking as a crowded and uninspiring field of gubernatorial candidates is raising the real possibility two Republicans could advance out of the June primary.
The prospect of candidates waiting too long to drop out and creating “zombie campaigns” that lead to a Republican governor for the first time since Arnold Schwarzenegger left office in 2011 has created a  “sh—show,” one Democratic state legislator told The Post.
“I’ve never seen a big race like this before,” the legislator said. “And I am worried that we’re going to have two really whacko Republicans.”
As hundreds gathered this weekend for the California Democratic Party convention in San Francisco, another state legislator took aim at the rudderless leadership of the Democratic Party under chair Rusty Hicks, who has said he has no intention of leaning on candidates to bow out. Only the top two candidates — regardless of party affiliation — will emerge out of what’s called a jungle primary to run in the general election in November.
“You would think the party chair would be actively doing something to prevent a catastrophe,”  a second state legislator told The Post.

In an exclusive interview with The Gateway Pundit, Trump’s head of the United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM), Kari Lake, discussed her overhaul of the government’s global news agency and the criticism she faces from leftwing media that seeks to protect its global media complex. 
The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on Lake’s leadership of the USAGM, where, amid attacks from the press and judges stonewalling her, she has exposed the massive corruption and waste of taxpayer funds, rooted out taxpayer-funded globalist mouthpieces, purged the agency of unscrupulous employees, and is still fighting to reduce the agency’s workforce by 85% in accordance with Trump’s orders to shrink bureaucracy. “You don’t need as many people to do the job with the advancement of technology,” Lake noted.
“I’m really proud of the work that we’re doing. We’re covering the statutorily required languages, we’re broadcasting into Iran right now, and of course, there’s so much happening in Iran, and I’m really proud of the work that we’re putting out. Before I got here, and for many years, this agency was putting out, sometimes, anti-American news, and that’s not what the American taxpayer is expecting. When they’re footing the bill for this news to go out across the globe, we want to make sure that we’re not putting something that’s anti-American out.”
Lake shared more on her success to date in ending the globalist propaganda amid “malicious lawsuits” against her for shrinking the agency down to the statutory minimum. Lake maintains that, despite attempts by far-left judges to stop her, “we will be shrinking down the size of this agency, and eventually we will be making sure that people are moved off the payroll.”  She further revealed that she ultimately wants to “zero out” the agency and have the Department of State take over broadcasting the United States’s message and foreign policy to the world.
“My ultimate goal is to take this agency, and this was part of the President’s budget, reduce the agency down to zero, and move the assets over to the State Department,” she told The Gateway Pundit.
As a result of her agenda, Lake is currently facing relentless and coordinated smears from the leftwing media over her efforts to “rightsize” the agency, which she described as “the most corrupt agency in Washington, DC.”
The Gateway Pundit reported on one of these attacks in a story by the Atlantic, which accused Lake of causing “profound damage to America’s foreign broadcasters, and to America’s ability to communicate with the world.” The piece by leftist hacks Anne Applebaum and Yvonne Wingett Sanchez selectively quoted Lake and misrepresented her statements to push a narrative about mismanagement and massive waste of taxpayer funds at the agency.

Punch, the viral baby monkey, has a new family – and millions are elated by that.
Many journalists around the world have written articles trying to understand why so many people were touched by the saga of baby monkey Punch.
The sweet baby monkey, who found comfort in an orangutan toy after his mother abandoned him and he was constantly rejected by other macaques, trended strongly on social media.

Daily Mail reported:
“Punch, a six-month-old macaque at Ichikawa City Zoo in Japan, became an internet sensation after videos showed the lonely little primate finding comfort and companionship in his stuffed toy.
[…] The baby’s bumpy ride is finally over, as social media videos on Friday showed the adult troop member wrapping him in a tight embrace.”
The baby monkey ‘melted hearts worldwide’ when videos of him clinging to zookeepers and to his stuffed orangutan toy were shared.
“Because infant monkeys instinctively cling to their mothers from birth and he was rejected from his mother, staff offered Punch blankets and soft toys to ease his anxiety.  He quickly chose the plush orangutan and has barely let go since.
Viral videos showed Punch hugging the toy as he sleeps, wrapping his arms around it and burying his face into the fabric.”

Little Punch has made his first true friend—that sweet macaque is no longer alone.

Rep. Brian Mast was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo to discuss President Donald Trump and the possibility of military strikes on Iran.
Mast also discussed the armed man who was able to get into Mar-A-Lago. The man was shot and killed by law enforcement.
The President was in Washington DC the time of the incident.
“President Trump is weighing a limited military strike on Iran,” Bartiromo said.
“The President is setting a deadline for a deal to be made within the next week or so, and as the US amasses its largest military buildup in the Middle East since the Iraq war in 2003,” Bartiromo commented.
“What are you expecting in terms of the US potentially striking Iran?” Bartiromo asked.
“I expect number one that diplomacy continues. You have Kirschner, you have Witkoff meeting in Geneva, trying to offer, here’s the offramp. You have to end nuclear enrichment, you have to ban ballistic missile programs,” Mast said.
“Stop having the Ayatollah kill your people. Stop threatening the United States of America,” Mast continued.
Rep Mast explained that he didn’t think that Iran would go for the diplomacy path, and that the US would have to use a Military strike instead.
“I don’t think they will take that offramp. I think we end up using the capabilities of our two carrier battle groups that are in the region when that timeline hits to say, the threat to America comes to an end,” Mast said.
“It’s destruction or diplomacy. It’s one or the other, and I think they choose destruction,” Mast continued.
“So, just to be clear, the President has given a deadline of the first week in March. You are expecting a strike from the United States on Iran?” Bartiromo asked.
“I expect that Iran does not take the diplomatic offramp and that it comes to a strike for the President to protect the homeland of the United States of America, which absolutely this is against an imminent threat against the American people,” Mast continued.
“Let me get your reaction to what has taken place overnight. We had a shooter show up at Mar-A-Lago armed with a shotgun and a gas can,” Bartiromo said.
Mast praised the Sheriff’s Department in Palm Beach for their commitment to protect President Trump. He also blasted Democrats for not funding the Department of Homeland Security.
“We have the best possible Sheriff’s Departments anywhere across the country, so thank you to my Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Deputies,” Mast said.
“Protecting our President. They do their job better than anybody can do it, and shame on Democrats. If you don’t know, Secret Service is not funded because Democrats are not funding the Department of Homeland Security,” Mast said.
“Do you believe this was in fact a third assassination attempt on our President?” Bartiromo asked.
“Absolutely. If somebody is coming to the President’s home with a firearm, with a gas can, with something incendiary, or something explosive, or anything else, you have to believe they have an intent to conduct an attack against the President of the United States of America,” Mast continued.

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo to discuss deregulation at the EPA.
Zeldin also discussed the armed man at Mar-A-Lago that was shot and killed by law enforcement early Sunday morning.
“What is your reaction to a shooter showing up at Mar-A-Lago holding a shotgun and a gas can?” Bartiromo asked.
“It’s infuriating. When does it end?” Zeldin commented.
“The people who lose their lives like my good friend Charlie Kirk. The people with the close calls like President Trump has now on multiple occasions. The people who have experienced physical violence. I mean, we settle our scores at the ballot box,” Zeldin said.
“For people to try to bring a shotgun and a fuel can to the President’s home at Mar-A-Lago to cause who knows what kind of damage. I look forward to learning more. It is infuriating,” Zeldin continued.
“Do you expect this rhetoric to stop anytime soon?” Bartiromo asked.
“To be brutally honest, I fear that the rhetoric is only going to continue to get worse on the left. I mean, they are desperate and in the search for power to ramp up an activist base, they are running out of words,” Zeldin explained.
“Let me turn to your portfolio, and what you have been able to do in terms of rolling back regulations. This is one of President Trump’s key tenets of his agenda, deregulation,” Bartiromo said.
“Tell us about that and its impact?” Bartiromo asked.
Zeldin explained that deregulation under President Trump has saved the United States over 1 trillion dollars from costly environmental regulations brought on by the previous Obama and Biden administrations.
“President Trump on day one signed an executive order telling me to do all the research, the vetting, provide a recommendation in the first 30 days of his administration,” Zeldin said.
“And pressed forward at Trump speed, announcing with President Trump in the Roosevelt room what is the largest act of deregulation in American history. 1.3 trillion dollars of savings,” Zeldin said.

In the latest example of anti conservative bias, a student government impeached its president due to his ties to TPUSA, according to a report from Campus Reform.
“Iowa State University’s Student Government voted to impeach President Colby Brandt during its Feb. 19 meeting for his affiliation with the Campus Victory Project.”
The Campus Victory Project is connected to TPUSA and helps students find leadership positions on campus.
If it was MoveOn.org, or another left wing group that the student was connected with, its doubtful he would be facing impeachment.
As usual, conservatism and patriotism are under attack on American campuses.
The student group impeached him on many “accounts,” including “Violation of the Oath of Office, claimed that Brandt failed to perform his duties “for the benefit of all students.”
“Brandt was also charged with Failure of a Representative, which claimed that he did not represent all students due to his obligations to CVP.”
Of course, they are simply claiming this and drumming up other accusations due to his affiliation with TPUSA.
Brandt declined to comment to Campus Reform, but instead is holding off till the student government Supreme Court adjudicates.
It was alleged during a meeting that the student group which impeached Brandt is not openly partisan in favor of left wing and Democrat causes.
“Any student who needs assistance or wants to create a project on the inclusivity, diversity, equity, and accessibility needs on campus can count on us,” the committee description states.
The assault on the rights of conservatives and free speech continues despite doublespeak about inclusivity.
One can hope that Brandt wins his case and remains in the position he rightfuly deserves.
