Ilhan Omar got enraged by a simple question from a Daily Caller reporter, who she told to f— off when he asked about her party advocating for an alleged MS-13 member.
Omar was asked if more Democrats should be traveling to El Salvador to advocate for the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an alleged MS-13 member deported by President Donald Trump’s administration. Omar, without answering the question, repeatedly told Morell to “fuck off” – which isn’t something you’d expect if she truly believed he was innocent, or just a “Maryland Father” as the media puts it.
“Do you think more of your Democratic colleagues should be traveling to El Salvador to advocate on behalf of Abrego Garcia?” She was asked.
Donald Trump has announced that he will once again forego his presidential salary in his second term. This decision is a continuation of the precedent he set during his first term, where he donated his entire $400,000 annual salary to various charitable causes.

This move helps support numerous charitable organizations, reflecting his dedication to making a positive impact. During his first term, Trump donated his quarterly salary to a diverse range of causes. Some notable recipients include:
National Park Service: In April 2017, Trump donated his first-quarter salary of $78,333 to the National Park Service, helping to preserve America’s natural beauty and historical landmarks.
Department of Education: His second-quarter salary of $100,000 in 2017 was given to the Department of Education to fund a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) camp.
Department of Health and Human Services: Trump directed his third-quarter salary in 2017 towards combating the opioid crisis, an epidemic that has devastated communities across the nation.
Veterans Affairs: In 2018, Trump donated $100,000 to the Veterans Affairs, supporting the men and women who have served the country.
Small Business Administration: His first-quarter salary in 2020 went to the Small Business Administration to support businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Trump’s decision to forgo his salary once again is more than just a symbolic gesture – it is a concrete action demonstrating his commitment to the American people. Only two other presidents have foregone their salary; Herbert Hoover and John F. Kennedy.
The medical examiner in the Daniel Penny case has come under fire for her questionable analysis of the facts, which many viewed as biased against Penny.
The prosecution rested its bogus case yesterday, which centers around whether or not Penny was acting in self-defense in protecting subway passengers from a raving lunatic threatening to kill people. Only in New York City would this even be a subject of debate, let alone a criminal case.
As was the case for George Floyd, Neely had drugs in his system – something the medical examiner didn’t even begin to take into account in her analysis. As the Daily Wire reported:
The New York medical examiner who performed Jordan Neely’s autopsy testified that she determined Neely died from asphyxiation after viewing viral videos of him in a chokehold and without waiting to see a toxicology report.
Dr. Cynthia Harris was the last witness called by the prosecution on Friday, CBS News reported. She testified that, even though Neely had a pulse when police arrived, he still died from Daniel Penny’s chokehold. “This is an asphyxial death. So, in asphyxial death, for lack of a better way of putting it, the brain dies first,” she testified, according to The Washington Times.
Penny’s defense attorneys questioned Harris why Neely’s death certificate originally listed the cause of death as pending further study. Harris said this was due to a misunderstanding from a police report that said Neely had been screaming while police were present. But, after viewing video of Penny restraining Neely in a chokehold and appearing unresponsive, Harris made her determination about the cause of death – without waiting for the toxicology report.
Harris told the defense that even if Neely had enough fentanyl in his system to take out an elephant, she still would have ruled that he died from asphyxiation.
Does this sound like someone with a political agenda to you?
It sure does to us at Wokespy – and a quick search through the FEC’s individual contribution records reveals that Dr. Harris accounted for $6,600 of the $1 billion that her fellow Harris incinerated before losing to Donald Trump.
In July and August of this year, two contributions of $3,300 were made to the Harris campaign, while $330 was made to ActBlue – and I have no insight on why she only makes contributions in numbers beginning in 33.
This of course leads to an obvious question; can someone who heavily donated to the woman that encouraged the George Floyd riots of 2020 and then raised bail money for people who would go on to commit murders, and backed defunding the police, be trusted as a neutral source in a self-defense case that has become politically coded? To ask such a question answers it.
Nicole Shanahan, the once-controversial VP pick for Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has unleashed a devastating ad targeting the universal liberal mental disorder: Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). It’s a creative masterpiece that conservatives welcomed as soon as she shared it on social media on August 29th.
The ad, cleverly disguised as a pharmaceutical commercial, diagnoses the mass hysteria plaguing Democrats who can’t stop obsessing over President Trump. It’s about time someone called out these cry-babies for their irrational behavior! Shanahan’s spot-on parody is not just hilarious – it’s a wake-up call to all Americans who’ve been brainwashed by the mainstream media’s anti-Trump propaganda.
“My team never sleeps,” Shanahan said, sharing the post on X on Thursday night.
Shanahan’s ad introduces “Independence” as the miracle cure for TDS. This groundbreaking treatment promises to restore critical thinking skills and free people from the shackles of mainstream media manipulation. It’s no wonder the left is terrified – their entire strategy relies on keeping voters ignorant and emotional!
The ad’s mock testimonials from recovering TDS sufferers are pure gold. One reformed liberal admits, “I used to think orange man bad, but now I can see past the media lies!”
As the ad cleverly points out, those suffering from TDS might experience side effects like rational thought, freedom of choice, and love of democracy. Oh, the horror!
Ads like this hurt, but when they come from a former Democrat…they must hurt even more.
Pavel Durov, the Russian-born entrepreneur who founded the Telegram messaging platform, was arrested on Saturday in France. He was detained at Le Bourget Airport near Paris after arriving from Azerbaijan. This arrest, stemming from an investigation into criminal activities allegedly conducted via Telegram, raises significant concerns about free speech and the future of encrypted communication. French authorities claim the app has been used for drug trafficking and distribution of child sexual abuse images.
Pavel Durov was detained on Saturday near Paris. Mr. Durov was arrested at Le Bourget Airport, about five miles north of the French capital, after landing on a private plane from Azerbaijan.
Durov, widely known for his advocacy of encrypted communication, was whisked away to France’s National Anti-Fraud Office and remains in custody. As of now, he has not been formally charged, but his detention can be extended until Wednesday. By then, authorities must decide to charge or release him. While under detention, Durov could face serious allegations that include complicity in facilitating drug trafficking and the distribution of child sexual abuse material via Telegram.
Free Speech or Government Overreach?
The arrest has sparked a fiery debate over the limits of free speech and the role of governments in regulating communication platforms. Some Durov supporters view this as an egregious example of government overreach and censorship, especially given Telegram’s history of resisting measures that compromise user privacy. Western governments, on the other hand, have long criticized Telegram for what they view as lax content moderation, making it susceptible to illegal activities.
“Pavel Durov sits in a French jail tonight, a living warning to any platform owner who refuses to censor the truth at the behest of governments and intel agencies,” Tucker Carlson said.
Adding fuel to the fire, Telegram claims to abide by EU laws, stating its content moderation is “within industry standards and constantly improving.” Meanwhile, figures like Elon Musk have rallied in support of Durov, with Musk tweeting “#freePavel” to emphasize his stance on free speech. Telegram also counters that Durov “has nothing to hide and travels frequently in Europe,” casting doubt on the motivations behind his arrest.
Privacy vs. Security
The tension between privacy and security is central to this arrest. Telegram, praised for its encryption capabilities, is ironically also criticized for potentially providing a haven for nefarious activities. Although Telegram offers encryption, it is not enabled by default and does not apply to large group chats. French investigators have made disturbing findings, such as the app’s use by Islamic extremists and drug traffickers. With over 950 million active users, the impact of its policies on global communications is enormous.
Among the allegations used to justify the Paris arrest were claims that the platform is being used for illicit activity such as drug trafficking and the distribution of child sexual abuse images. However, this happens on literally every social media network – unfortunately.
As the founder of VKontakte, Russia’s largest social network, Durov is no stranger to controversy. He sold his stake and left Russia in 2014 due to government pressure, eventually relocating Telegram’s headquarters to Dubai. His arrest today may echo past clashes between his commitment to encrypted communication and governmental demands for data transparency.
In a resounding victory for traditional values and parental rights, the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has given Florida the green light to enforce its ban on so-called “gender-affirming care” for minors. This decision overturns a lower court’s misguided attempt to block the law, proving once again that conservative principles are winning the day in the Sunshine State.
The 2-1 ruling, handed down by a panel of judges in Atlanta, allows Florida to prohibit transgender minors from receiving puberty blockers and hormonal treatments, even with parental consent. This common-sense measure protects vulnerable children from making life-altering decisions they may later regret. It’s a much-needed safeguard against the radical left’s agenda to push gender ideology on our youth.
Trump-Appointed Judges Lead the Charge
Kudos to Judges Britt Grant and Robert Luck, both appointed by former President Donald Trump, for forming the majority in this crucial decision. Their ruling demonstrates the importance of having conservative judges on the bench who respect the will of the people and the legislative process.
“The district court likely misapplied the presumption that the legislature acted in good faith when it concluded that the prohibition and regulation provisions, and the implementing rules, were based on invidious discrimination against transgender minors and adults,” the court stated in its ruling.
This statement exposes the liberal bias of the lower court judge who had initially blocked the law. It’s refreshing to see the appeals court set the record straight and recognize that Florida’s lawmakers had legitimate concerns in mind when passing this legislation.
DeSantis Vindicated
Governor Ron DeSantis, a staunch defender of traditional values, had predicted this outcome. His unwavering commitment to protecting Florida’s children from the transgender agenda has been vindicated. DeSantis’ leadership on this issue serves as a blueprint for other conservative states looking to push back against the radical left’s attempts to indoctrinate our youth.
“This will be reversed, there’s no question this will be reversed,” DeSantis had confidently stated, referring to the lower court’s decision. Once again, he’s been proven right.
While liberals cry foul and claim discrimination, the fact remains that this law is about protecting children and preserving parents’ rights to make medical decisions for their families without undue influence from activist groups. It’s a victory for common sense and traditional family values.
As Florida leads the charge in this crucial battle, it’s clear that the tide is turning against the radical gender ideology that has been pushed on our society. With 26 states now adopting similar laws, it’s evident that Americans are waking up to the dangers of allowing minors to make irreversible medical decisions.
This ruling is a wake-up call for those who thought they could use the courts to override the will of the people. It’s time for other states to follow Florida’s lead and stand up for our children’s future. The fight to protect our values and our families continues, and today, we can celebrate a significant victory in that ongoing struggle.
Should you be able to smoke in your own home? Most people would say yes, but the issue gets a little complicated when it comes to shared housing, depending on the type. That being said, there’s bound to be controversy around this, so we wanted to bring you the story anyway. Starting in January, in Carlsbad, California, smoking and vaping of both cannabis and nicotine products will be banned in apartments, condos, and other shared buildings.
Cannabis is one thing…but not being able to smoke in your own home? In your own living room? Come on…
This nanny state nonsense doesn’t stop at your front door. The ban extends to private balconies, porches, decks, and patios. All apartments, condos, and townhouses will be affected.
We can’t help but think that it might be smoking today, and barbecues tomorrow…
A California beach town is banning residents from smoking inside their own homes, saying the health benefits outweigh concerns over government overreach https://t.co/kpA8FYqte7
— The Times and The Sunday Times (@thetimes) August 27, 2024
Unsurprisingly, this attack on personal freedom doesn’t apply to everyone equally. Single-family homes, hotels, and motels are conveniently exempt from the ban. It’s almost as if the wealthy elites who can afford their own houses don’t want these rules applied to them.
Enforcement Nightmare or Neighbor vs. Neighbor Warfare?
Here’s where it gets really tricky. The city admits they don’t have the resources for police or code enforcement to actually enforce this ridiculous law. Instead, they’re relying on landlords and tenants to take legal action against each other. That’s right – they want to turn neighbor against neighbor in some sort of twisted liberal snitch society.
At least 84 of California’s 483 municipalities have similar bans.
What do you think? Is this fair, or is it an enormous overreach?
