(DC Pundit) – The party that never misses an opportunity to lecture the rest of America about the dangers of violent rhetoric just provided one of the most staggering examples of unhinged political behavior this year, and it happened on the floor of the Minnesota House of Representatives.

After the House deadlocked 67-67 along party lines on a procedural vote to bring Senate-passed gun control omnibus bill House File 5140 to the floor for debate, Democrat lawmakers completely lost the plot. Rather than accepting the outcome like adults, they staged a dramatic sit-in on the House floor, refusing to leave the chamber and demanding an immediate vote on what has been widely described as the “most extreme gun-grabbing bill in the country.”

And then it got worse. During the meltdown, multiple Democrat lawmakers reportedly directed a vile and deeply disturbing comment at Republican Rep. Elliott Engen, telling him to “go f—ing shoot yourself.” Rep. Aisha Gomez was identified as one of the lawmakers who shouted the disgusting remark at Engen. The same people pushing the most aggressive gun control package in the state’s history were screaming at a Republican colleague to shoot himself. The irony is so thick you could choke on it.

Rep. Engen confirmed the incident himself on X, writing, “Can confirm. Didn’t have multiple Democrat colleagues yelling at me to ‘go f’ing shoot yourself’ on my bingo card…”

Can confirm.

Didn’t have multiple Democrat colleagues yelling at me to “go f’ing shoot myself” on my bingo card… https://t.co/veol1CXzxT

Republican state Rep. Drew Roach described the Democrats’ behavior as “completely UNHINGED” and called the attack on Engen “deranged, toxic, and downright dangerous” — especially coming from the very lawmakers hell-bent on disarming law-abiding citizens.

🚨 Democrats in the Minnesota House have gone completely UNHINGED 🚨

Republicans have blocked the bill on solid constitutional and practical grounds, correctly pointing out that it would criminalize legal firearm ownership while doing absolutely nothing to stop criminals who already have zero regard for existing laws. That’s the dirty little secret the gun control crowd never wants to discuss, laws only work on people who follow them.

As of this writing, House Democratic leadership and Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman have issued no formal statements or press releases addressing the incident. No accountability. No apology. No consequences. Just silence.

If a Republican lawmaker had screamed something like this at a Democrat colleague, it would be wall-to-wall coverage on every major network for a week straight. Don’t hold your breath waiting for that same standard to apply here.

(DC Pundit) – You have to hand it to the Associated Press, their timing is truly something special. With America gearing up to celebrate its 250th birthday, the AP decided the most pressing journalistic contribution they could make was a video suggesting that the Founding Fathers’ muskets might need to be regulated. Nothing says “Happy Birthday, America” quite like coming for the flintlock.

The AP posted a short video highlighting what it framed as a troubling lack of federal regulation surrounding antique flintlock muskets. They weren’t exactly subtle about where they were going with it. “A musket from 1776 can fire a lead ball at a velocity of around 1,000 feet per second,” the AP posted on X, adding, “Imagine what that can do to a human body. Yet under federal and most state laws, it’s exempt from gun regulations. Many antique or replica guns aren’t considered firearms and even convicted felons can own them.”

Let that marinate. The Associated Press, in the year of America’s semiquincentennial, is genuinely raising alarm bells about muskets. The weapon that helped birth this nation. The gun that won the Revolutionary War. The firearm that allowed a band of determined colonists to defeat the most powerful military force on earth at the time and establish the greatest country in human history. That musket.

For those wondering about the legal framework, under 18 USC 921(16) of federal law, flintlock muskets are classified as “antique firearms” and are therefore exempt from the regulations that govern modern firearms. This is not a loophole. It is a deliberate and entirely reasonable legal distinction that has existed for decades.

But here’s the thing about the liberal left and gun control, they have never encountered a firearm regulation they didn’t immediately love and want to expand. If they could find a way to regulate slingshots and pointed sticks, they would hold a press conference about it. The AP’s musket video is just the latest example of an agenda that never sleeps, never quits, and never misses an opportunity to chip away at the Second Amendment from whatever angle presents itself, even if that angle is a 250-year-old muzzleloader.

The Second Amendment was written by men who had just fought a war for freedom. They understood better than anyone what an armed citizenry means for the survival of liberty. These were battle-hardened patriots who had watched friends and neighbors bleed and die for the right to govern themselves, and they made absolutely certain that no future government, foreign or domestic, would ever find it easy to take that right away.

(DC Pundit) – Political analysts across the spectrum have noted that voters are hungry for authenticity. They want candidates who speak plainly, act naturally, and actually mean what they say. This phenomenon is largely a Trump effect, the man has never once appeared to be reading from a script someone else handed him. He walks into a room and is exactly who he is, every single time. Voters notice that. Voters respond to that. And it has driven the left absolutely crazy trying to figure out how to replicate it.

The problem, of course, is that you cannot manufacture authenticity. The moment you start coaching someone to “be themselves,” the whole exercise collapses under the weight of its own absurdity. Which brings us to the video.

Footage has surfaced showing former Secretary of Transportation and two-time presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg, along with another Democrat, being actively coached on how to appear authentic and normal in front of voters.

The contrast with President Trump could not be more stark. Trump has never needed a coach to tell him how to connect with working-class Americans, because he simply does it. That quality, raw and unfiltered as it sometimes is, is precisely what has made him one of the most electorally resilient figures in modern political history.

Democrats, meanwhile, are out here scheduling workshops on how to seem relatable. They are so thoroughly embedded in the world of consultants, focus groups, and political theater that genuine human interaction has essentially become a foreign language requiring professional translation.

The voters they are so desperately trying to reach can smell the artificiality from a mile away. And no amount of coaching is going to fix that.

(DC Pundit) – James O’Keefe and his O’Keefe Media Group have built a reputation for exposing what powerful institutions desperately want kept behind closed doors, and their latest undercover operation has delivered another bombshell — this time from inside the White House itself.

OMG released undercover video capturing two White House insiders making admissions that should have every Trump supporter’s blood boiling. The footage reveals exactly the kind of entrenched bureaucratic resistance that President Trump has been fighting since day one — the deep state, alive and well, operating right under the roof of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

First up is Benjamin Ellisten, a Budget Analyst Manager within the Executive Office of the President. “We have to get rid of Trump,” Ellisten said. “He’s f*cking it up for everybody….We’ve got to get rid of him.” A federal budget analyst, a man paid by American taxpayers, sitting inside the Executive Office of the President and openly calling for the removal of the man the American people elected. Ellisten has since been placed on administrative leave. Good start.

Then there’s Maxim Lott, a Special Assistant to President Trump on the White House Domestic Policy Council, who offered his own uncomfortable window into how domestic policy actually gets made. According to Lott, formal cost-benefit analysis is often skipped entirely, with decisions advanced simply because officials believe “the base supports it.” “In theory, everything should sort of come from the president…But it might come from the level below him where they’re like, ‘I think I know the president well enough to say what he would say on this,'” Lott told the undercover journalist. He also acknowledged that policy proposals are sometimes pushed forward simply because someone decided “this feels like a good idea — alright, just sign.”

— James O'Keefe (@JamesOKeefeIII) May 12, 2026

Unelected staffers inside the White House are essentially making policy calls based on personal gut feelings and their own interpretation of what Trump might want, bypassing the President entirely. Whether that rises to the level of intentional subversion or garden-variety bureaucratic arrogance, it’s a serious problem either way.

President Trump has long maintained that a deeply embedded network of career government insiders actively works to obstruct his agenda. The left and their media allies have mocked that claim for years, dressing it up as paranoia. Well, here it is on video. The deep state didn’t just exist during Trump’s first term, it followed him right back into the building. The good news is that the cameras caught it this time.

(DC Pundit) – While the left spends its time shrieking about phantom threats to democracy, a real and documented one just walked into a federal courthouse and pleaded guilty. Eileen Wang, the now former Mayor of Arcadia, California, has admitted in a federal plea deal to acting as a covert agent for the People’s Republic of China.

The plea deal, unsealed Monday, revealed that Wang worked with her then-fiancé, Yaoning “Mike” Sun, on a website called “U.S. News Center,” which was marketed as a news source for Chinese Americans. In reality, it was a propaganda operation. Wang and Sun “executed directives” from the Chinese government, posting content designed to boost Beijing’s image while dutifully reporting back to their handlers with screenshots showing how many Americans had viewed the stories.

The operation ran between 2020 and 2022 — the same period during which Wang was elected to the Arcadia City Council in November 2022. One particularly brazen directive had Wang’s Chinese spymaster ordering the website to publish an essay dismissing well-documented accusations of genocide and forced labor in the Xinjiang region. “There is no genocide in Xinjiang; there is no such thing as ‘forced labor’ in any production activity, including cotton production. Spreading such rumor is to defame China, destroy Xinjiang’s safety and stability,” the spymaster wrote, per the plea agreement. Wang complied. Her handler responded, “So fast, thank you everyone.” In another exchange, Wang replied, “Thank you leader,” after receiving praise for strong page view numbers on published propaganda. Charming.

A senior aide to NY Governors, Linda Sun, is also on trial right now for acting as an agent of the CCP.

I think people will be shocked once they realize just how many people in America China has on their payroll. https://t.co/E3Y6K9sAVL

— AG (@AGHamilton29) May 11, 2026

The charges carry a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. A magistrate judge ordered a $25,000 bond and required Wang to surrender all passports and travel documents. Assistant U.S. Attorney Amanda B. Elbogen also requested that Wang be barred from any communication with the Chinese government, including consular officials operating on U.S. soil.

Wang’s attorneys offered up the defense that her actions pertained to her “personal life” and “not to her conduct as an elected public official.” Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli wasn’t buying it. “Individuals in our country who covertly do the bidding of foreign governments undermine our democracy,” Essayli said. “This plea agreement is the latest success in our determination to defend the homeland against China’s efforts to corrupt our institutions.”

The City of Arcadia confirmed Wang will be “vacating her position” as the Council selects a replacement.

This case is cold, hard proof that China’s long game of infiltrating American institutions, dismissed for years as paranoia by the same people who’d rather look the other way, is real.

(DC Pundit) – If you haven’t been following the massive Feeding Our Future fraud case out of Minnesota, now is a very good time to start paying attention, because the name appearing repeatedly in the trial exhibits is one you’ll recognize immediately.

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, who represents Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District and has never been a stranger to controversy, is now directly connected — at least in documented communications — to Aimee Bock, the mastermind behind what stands as the largest COVID-era fraud scheme targeting children’s nutrition programs. Bock was convicted in 2025 on wire fraud, conspiracy, and bribery charges related to a scheme that funneled a staggering $250 million in federal pandemic funds to fake meal sites, luxury cars, jewelry, and overseas real estate.

According to trial exhibits unsealed in Bock’s case, one email chain between Bock and Omar’s office was literally titled “Ilhan’s Office.” Another email from February 2021 carried the subject line “help with USDA food program” — right in the thick of the fraud operation, according to the New York Post. Text messages recovered during a raid of Bock’s Minnesota home also show direct communication between the convicted fraudster and Omar’s congressional staff. Quite the paper trail.

It gets worse. Omar’s campaign received donations from multiple Feeding Our Future defendants — cash she only returned after the indictments started rolling in. How convenient. A former Omar staffer, Guhaad Hashi Said, pleaded guilty to his own role in the scheme, admitting to operating a bogus food site that pocketed millions in taxpayer money.

🚨 HOLY CRAP. Rep. Ilhan Omar's name appeared MULTIPLE times in an email chain with a $250M FRAUDSTER, with one titled "Ilhan's Office"

Yet she has REFUSED to turn over documents to the Minnesota fraud committee. We need federal subpoenas!

Then there’s the Safari Restaurant connection, which has “pay-to-play” written all over it. Omar celebrated her 2018 primary victory at the Somali-owned Safari Restaurant in Minneapolis — a key Feeding Our Future site later convicted of stealing over $16 million by claiming millions of phantom meals that never actually happened. The restaurant’s co-owner, Salim Ahmed Said, used stolen funds for a $2 million mansion and $9,000 monthly shopping sprees at Nordstrom. Omar even appeared in a resurfaced video at the restaurant praising the program in Somali, right as the fraud was exploding around her.

Minnesota Republican Rep. Kristin Robbins has now formally asked the House Oversight Committee, chaired by Rep. James Comer, to subpoena Omar’s office communications after Omar reportedly refused to cooperate with a state fraud investigation examining her office’s ties to individuals connected to the scheme.

Children’s nutrition money. Phantom meals. Mansions and Nordstrom shopping sprees. And a congresswoman whose name keeps showing up everywhere investigators look. Minnesota deserves real answers and so does the rest of America.

(DC Pundit) – Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has never been shy about her socialist worldview, but during a Friday night appearance at the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics, she dropped any pretense of playing the traditional political game entirely and what she revealed should concern every freedom-loving American.

Speaking with longtime Democratic strategist David Axelrod, the congresswoman from New York’s 14th district brushed aside questions about a potential 2028 presidential run or a challenge to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, pivoting instead to something she clearly considers far grander than any single office.

AOC took aim at what she described as elite media power, referencing a Washington Post op-ed and declaring, “This was the elite saying, ‘If you want this job, you just stepped out of line. And we want you to know where the real power is. And it’s in the modern-day barons who own the Post and own the algorithms, and we’re gonna — we’ll make an example out of you.'” The irony of a socialist complaining about powerful elites while simultaneously pushing policies that would hand even more control to the federal government is apparently lost on her.

She then made her real intentions crystal clear. “They assume that my ambition is positional. They assume that my ambition is a title or a seat,” she said. “My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, Senate, House seats, elected officials, come and go, but single-payer healthcare is forever. A living wage is forever. Workers’ rights are forever. Women’s rights — all of that.”

Axelrod: There are a lot of people who would like you to run for president in 2028. And there are others who would like you to run for the senate.

AOC: In this op-ed that Bezos paid for in The Washington Post, there was a veiled threat—it was the elite saying if you want this… pic.twitter.com/ZjyuXPVu1G

— Acyn (@Acyn) May 8, 2026

She wrapped things up with this gem: “When you aren’t attached, right? When you haven’t been, like, fantasizing about being this or that since the time you were seven years old, um, it is tremendously liberating, because I get to wake up every day and say, ‘How am I gonna meet the moment?'”

AOC is playing the long game — one aimed at fundamentally dismantling the free-market, faith-based, individual-liberty foundations that made this country the greatest nation on earth and replacing them with a socialist wish list dressed up as compassion.

True patriots know that freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction, and now more than ever, we must stay vigilant, informed, and engaged.

(DC Pundit) – There are two things Democrats in Washington do exceptionally well: dodge accountability and crank up the inflammatory rhetoric until something goes terribly wrong. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has apparently decided to master both, and President Donald Trump isn’t about to let it slide without a fight.

Following the most recent assassination attempt on his life, Trump took to Truth Social, going after Jeffries for language that many Republicans believe helped create a climate ripe for political violence. “This lunatic, Hakeem ‘Low IQ’ Jeffries, should be charged with INCITING VIOLENCE!” Trump posted, alongside an image of Jeffries standing near a photo of Trump bearing the words “maximum warfare, everywhere all the time.” Paired with that was a screenshot from footage showing gunman Cory Tomas Allen arriving at the White House Correspondents Association dinner. Not exactly a great look for the House Minority Leader.

Trump didn’t stop there, adding, “The Radical Left Democrats actually want to Destroy our Country.”

When Jeffries was asked about the “maximum warfare” comment he made, his response was about as tone-deaf as you’d expect. “I stand by it,” he told Axios, before brushing off Republican criticism entirely. “You can continue to criticize me for it. I don’t give a damn about the criticism … get lost,” he said. Real statesmanlike stuff, Hakeem.

Republican Rep. Randy Fine of Florida was having absolutely none of it. “So-called Hakeem Jeffries is a disgrace to the United States Congress,” Fine posted on X. “He is deranged, disgusting and violent. It is unacceptable that House Democrats continue to remain silent in the aftermath of his call for ‘maximum warfare, everywhere, all the time’ against Republicans,” he wrote, adding, “Their casual acceptance of hateful and divisive language enables this out-of-control behavior.”

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) just called White House Press Secretary Leavitt a “stone cold liar” for highlighting the violent rhetoric Democrats have spewed for years.

Jeffries is mad that Democrats are being exposed as promoters of violence. Republicans rarely riot. It’s usually…

Jeffries, who has represented New York’s 8th Congressional District since 2013, became House Minority Leader in January 2023 — a role that, one would assume, carries with it at least a baseline expectation of responsible leadership. Apparently, nobody passed that memo along. When a gunman shows up at a prominent event and your own inflammatory words are being displayed right alongside his image on social media, the politically savvy — and frankly, human — response is to show some humility and walk it back. Instead, Jeffries told his critics to “get lost.” The silence from the rest of the Democratic Party has been deafening, and that silence speaks volumes about just how far off the rails the left has gone.
