Trans "Rep" Stacie Laughton: From Statehouse Shenanigans to Federal Slammer for exploitation of children

A thing of beauty is a joy forever

Oh, New Hampshire, you magnificent cradle of liberty—how do you keep churning out these gems? 

Stacie Laughton, a transgender female [making 'her' a him] who moonlighted as a state representative until the jig was up, and now he's trading his pantsuit for prison stripes after pleading guilty to the kind of child exploitation charges that make even the most jaded among us reach for the Tums.

Laughton, who resigned from his perch in the NH House back in 2022 after getting pinched for stalking in violation of a court order (because nothing says "progressive pioneer" like ignoring judicial paper trails), shuffled into a Boston federal court on Monday and copped to sexual exploitation of children. That's right: the self-identified 'girly girl' [see photo above] who was elected to protect the vulnerable was busy exploiting young children from afar.

Flash back to October, when Laughton's main squeeze, Lindsay Groves, spilled the beans on snapping explicit photos of toddlers and beaming them over to his beau, as reported by the Daily Mail. 

Groves, moonlighting at a Tyngsborough, Massachusetts daycare, turned "story hour" into a private screening of the macabre. The photos were nude shots of kids snoozing away, snapped between May 2022 and June 2023, featuring at least four sexually explicit money shots of tots aged three to five. And it wasn't just a rogue selfie; this came with "thousands of illicit discussions about the images." 

Laughton could be cooling his high heels for up to 30 years when the gavel drops, and Groves is right there in the dock with him, both slated for sentencing in February, with three decades of regret on the menu. As the affidavit so poetically put it, Groves "used natural bathroom breaks for the children," such as "routine diaper pull-up changes prior to nap time … to take multiple photos of the prepubescent children in a private bathroom and then sent the photos to the (former intimate partner) via text message." 

Ah, yes, the poetry of perversion, subsidized by taxpayer-funded daycares.

But wait, there's more! 

Laughton's rap sheet reads like a greatest-hits album of bad decisions, starting in 2002 with a domestic violence/criminal mischief collar, followed by a 2003 sexual assault beef against a woman (irony alert: the plot thickens). Then, in 2015, he dialed up a bomb threat to Southern New Hampshire Medical Center, because healthcare debates get real heated up north, and Democrats vote for this insanity. And just to keep the chaos fresh, 2021 brought an arrest for hijacking the state's 911 texting system. Guy's got more mugshots than Elon's got pennies.

Elected to represent Nashua in 2020 and reelected in 2022, Laughton bailed weeks after that second win over the stalking dust-up. One can only imagine the victory lap turning into a perp walk. In a sane world, this would be a one-and-done scandal, but in our glittering era of identity politics, it's just another Tuesday where the rainbow flag flies a little too close to the flames.

Hamas, Hezbollah, and Their Band of Scummy Brothers: A Toast to Eternal Jihad Against the Jewish State

Hamassholes and Hezbollonians

In the grim theater of Islamist fanaticism, where the dead are paraded as heroes and peace is dismissed as a Zionist plot, the latest gathering of terror's elite serves as a stark reminder that some wounds fester not from defeat, but from the delusion of perpetual victory.

One might have hoped, naively, perhaps, that the blood-soaked annals of October 7, 2023, would linger in the collective memory of the civilized world as a cautionary horror, a barbarism so raw that even the most hardened ideologues would pause to reconsider their path of self-destruction. 

But no: in the fetid halls of rejectionism, where the air reeks of cordite and odiferous grudge, Hamas and its constellation of terrorist confederates have chosen instead to crown that day of slaughter as a "landmark victory." Disarmament is a quaint Western fancy, fit only for the gullible. 

Peace initiatives, those fragile olive branches extended by a weary international community are illusions to be trampled underfoot. Their vow, delivered with the solemnity of a fatwa, is to press on in their war against the Jewish state, undeterred by the rubble of Gaza or the pleas of a region desperate for respite.

The stage for this latest tableau of defiance was the 34th Arab National Conference in Beirut, that perennial echo chamber of grievance and grenade. There, amid the incense of martyrdom and the rhetoric of endless "resistance," leaders of Hamas, Hezbollah, and a rogues' gallery of other Islamist death cults convened to denounce the "Israeli occupation and its expansionist projects in Palestine and the region," as breathlessly reported by the Arabic-language Lebanese news outlet Al Mayadeen. It was a summit less of statesmen than of saboteurs, where the clarion call rang out against any compulsion to lay down arms, those sacred totems deemed essential "in protecting national sovereignty and securing the region’s future." Western influence, naturally, was the great Satan to be scourged from the sands, lest it dilute the pure venom of their cause.

Hamas's chief, Khalil al-Hayya, took the podium to recast the horrors of that October dawn in the burnished glow of myth. "On Oct. 7, an extraordinary act of heroism unfolded across Palestine and its borders, as people everywhere contributed in their own way to support us," he intoned, as if the rape, murder, and mutilation of innocents at a music festival and in kibbutzim were but verses in an epic of liberation. Gaza, he allowed, lies "wounded today, but it remains steadfast, calling on everyone to stay united in the pursuit of our legitimate national goals." And then, with the weary cadence of a prophet foretelling apocalypse, he added: "Palestine will endure, just as Gaza has, despite the aggression — its land, its people, men, women, and children — and eventually, injustice will be overcome."

One listens to such words and marvels at the alchemy: how rivers of blood become ambrosia, how the screams of the violated transmute into symphonies of solidarity. At this Beirut bacchanal, Hamas and its allies exalted the October 7 atrocities not as a spasm of savagery, but as the fulcrum of history in their crusade against the "Zionist occupation." Proposals to carve up Gaza into zones of uneasy truce? Anathema, a betrayal of the sacred soil. Unity, they proclaimed, was their unbreakable creed—unity in arms, in ideology, in the unquenchable thirst for Israel's annihilation.

"We emerged from this battle against the occupation with our weapons in hand. All resistance factions stood united against the aggression, and that same solidarity extended to the political front," said Ziad al-Nakhala, the chieftain of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, his voice a gravelly hymn to the arsenal that sustains them. He turned his ire, predictably, on the peace overtures from Washington: "[US President Donald] Trump's plan has set numerous obstacles and conditions that cannot be implemented," he scoffed, as if the very notion of negotiation were an insult to their divine mandate.

In the shadow of these pronouncements, the international machinery grinds on, its diplomats shuttling between Tel Aviv and Doha in a Sisyphean bid to midwife a Gaza ceasefire and stitch together a broader Middle Eastern peace. Yet here, in the heart of Hezbollah's lair, such efforts are dismissed as the machinations of infidels, fit only to be met with escalation and the relentless advance of their theocratic agenda. Jamil Mazhar, deputy secretary general of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP)—that venerable relic of Marxist-Leninist terror now fused with jihadist zeal, laid bare the contempt. He called for "rejecting plans to place the Palestinian people under tutelage and opposing any attempt at demographic change," a not-so-veiled broadside at the Gaza peace blueprint, which envisions an International Stabilization Force (ISF) to shepherd the fragile truce.

Under Trump's plan, this ISF, a multinational brigade drawn from willing nations, would stand sentinel over the ceasefire, drilling local security outfits while patrolling Gaza's frontiers with Israel and Egypt, safeguarding civilians, and keeping the arteries of aid flowing unimpeded. A pragmatic scaffold for stability, one might think, in a land scarred by war's depredations. But to Mazhar and his ilk, it is chains disguised as olive branches. "We have gathered to renew our commitment against the Zionist enemy and its allies, and to reaffirm that the fight continues," he thundered from the rostrum. And lest the message blur into mere verbiage, he urged: "Today, we must move beyond mere solidarity and slogans, and put them into practical action."

From the Lebanese front, Hezbollah's international relations apparatchik, Ammar al-Moussawi, lent his voice to the chorus, reaffirming the Shia militant's unswerving fealty to the "resistance in Gaza." 

"We joined the battle to support Gaza out of our conviction in the justice and righteousness of this cause, and we do not regret our decision," he averred, as if the barrages of rockets into Israeli towns were but chivalric gestures in a noble quest. History, he invoked with the solemnity of a chronicler, "shows that the resistance in Lebanon and Palestine has endured crises far graver than today's, and the same resistance that produced those martyred leaders is fully capable of producing new ones." 

A chilling prospectus: the martyrs beget martyrs, the cycle of violence spun eternal by the hand of ideology.Nor was Yemen's Houthi horde absent from the fray. Their leader, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, hailed the "support fronts" as the unsung architects of this interminable two-year tempest. "Hezbollah's role is at the forefront of the support fronts, thanks to its steadfastness, pioneering and significant contributions, and immense sacrifices," he proclaimed, bestowing laurels on the very network that has dragged Lebanon to the brink of ruin. 

The Israeli-American axis, in his telling, "seeks to impose a permissive formula and always place the blame on the victim." And with a final flourish of paranoia: "The Israeli enemy is attempting to disarm the weapons that protect Lebanon and the arms that have prevented it from controlling Gaza for the past two years."

It is a tapestry of delusion, this conference, woven from threads of Iranian patronage, for Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis alike draw succor from Tehran's inexhaustible spigots of weaponry, coin, and cadre. Iran, that ayatollah's forge of proxy wars, ensures the flame of fanaticism burns undimmed. 

And so, as the world tires of translation and temporizing, these groups pledge not reconciliation, but redoubled rage. Peace, in their lexicon, is surrender; victory, an horizon forever receding yet eternally chased. One cannot help but pity the region, and Israel, that improbable bastion of resilience, condemned to dance to this macabre tune until the music, or the dancers, at last give out.

Governor who's committing suicide by food wants Illinois to allow state's visitors to commit suicide too

Illinois Democrats are at it again, shoving through a ghoulish Halloween special that's straight out of a dystopian nightmare: a bill to turn the Land of Lincoln into a one-stop shop for assisted suicide, all while trampling on the religious freedoms of doctors who actually believe in the sanctity of life. And it's just sitting there on Gov. J.B. Pritzker's desk, waiting for his progressive pen to make it official.

In the witching hour just after midnight on All Hallows' Eve, Illinois Senate Democrats bulldozed this death-on-demand legislation through in a 30-27 vote, capping off a House passage back in May. The measure would green-light doctors to hand out lethal prescriptions to terminal patients with six months or less to live, because this is how the left views "compassion."

But here's where it gets even more insidious: Conservative watchdogs are sounding the alarm that this isn't just about "choice," it's a full-frontal assault on faith-based medicine, forcing Christian physicians and hospitals to play along with the grim reaper's playbook.

"You're not just allowing physicians to give people deadly drugs to kill themselves, but you're actually forcing us or people of faith, to be part of it, to promote it," Peter Breen, head of litigation at the Thomas More Society, laid it out bluntly to conservative outlet The Daily Wire. "I know of no other state where the legislature has gone this far in restricting the religious liberty rights of people of faith."

Sure, the bill pays lip service to opt-outs for doctors who won't pull the trigger themselves. But Breen isn't buying it.

 Buried in the fine print are mandates that would compel institutions and physicians to refer patients to the poison pill parade and even advertise the "opportunity" to check out early. It's coercion dressed up as consent.

Worse, Breen warns, the language would tie the hands of Christian hospitals, making it impossible to boot a doctor who peddles assisted dying on the side, on or off campus. Because why stop at killing the patient when you can kill religious liberty too?

Ten states plus D.C. already flirt with this folly on both coasts, but Illinois? This would plant the flag of euthanasia smack in America's heartland, a beacon for the terminally ill from flyover country, and beyond.

"Illinois would become the first state in the middle of the country to enact assisted suicide," Breen hammered home. "There’s a significant concern that this is going to turn Illinois into a suicide tourism state."

What the Prairie State Democrats are peddling here is beyond the pale, a direct middle finger to Christian ethics that value life until the last breath. The Illinois Catholic Conference has blasted the bill and begged Biggie Pritzker to spike it like a bad shot.

Pritzker eyes the other sandwich

Even Breen, no fan of the governor's hard-left bona fides, clings to a sliver of optimism: Pritzker might actually veto this monstrosity over the First Amendment fallout. Fingers crossed, because the guy's track record isn't exactly a rosary of restraint.

For his part, Pritzker's playing the empathy card without committing. "I know how terrible it is that someone who's in the last six months of their life could be experiencing terrible pain and anguish. And I know people who’ve gone through that," he mused Monday. "It hits me deeply and makes me wonder about, you know, how we can alleviate the pain that they’re going through?"

If he inks this abomination, though? Game on. Breen vows the Thomas More Society will haul Illinois into court faster than you can say "equal protection." They've already tangled with the state over a prior outrage forcing pro-life pregnancy centers to shill for abortion, talk about déjà vu from hell. Let's hope the judge's gavel rings louder than the Democrats' death knell.

Trump Admin's War on Drugs Hits Hard: Another Narco-Terror Boat Blown to Bits as Hegseth Delivers Grim Warning to Cartels

If you're a fentanyl-pushing thug sailing the high seas, you'd better rethink your life choices because the Trump administration isn't playing games. On Thursday, the U.S. military lit up yet another drug-smuggling vessel in the Caribbean with a no-holds-barred kinetic strike, courtesy of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. 

Bahdahbing! goes the dynamite, and three more cartel scumcrumpets are swimming with the fishes.

This marks the 17th such takedown we've seen publicized under President Trump's iron-fisted approach to the border crisis he inherited from the Biden disaster. Most of these hits have been in the Caribbean's international waters, though a few have scorched boats off the Eastern Pacific. It's a message loud and clear: America is done being a doormat for these poison peddling terrorists.

"Today, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of Defense carried out a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization," Hegseth said. "The vessel was trafficking narcotics in the Caribbean and was struck in international waters. No U.S. forces were harmed in the strike, and three male narco-terrorists, who were aboard the vessel, were killed."

Hegseth dropped a 20-second video clip on X showing the boat chugging along like the little boat that could, until it couldn't. Boom. He skipped naming the exact terrorist outfit behind it, but the point was crystal: these strikes are non-stop until the cartels get the memo.

Hegseth said the strikes will continue until "narco-terrorists" stop "poisoning" Americans. "To all narco-terrorists who threaten our homeland: if you want to stay alive, stop trafficking drugs. If you keep trafficking deadly drugs—we will kill you," Hegseth said.

Tally it up: At least 69 suspected traffickers have met Beelzebub thanks to these Trump-ordered ops. Only three survivors from two boats; one pair shipped back home for prosecution after the admin politely suggested their governments throw the book at them. The rest are simply collateral in the war on the opioid apocalypse that's claimed way too many American lives, to the tune of about 200 a day.

Ahead of the latest hit, Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio gave the Hill's bigwigs a rundown on Wednesday. Predictably, the Dems whined like it's 2017 all over again, clutching their pearls over "legal authority" while ignoring the body count from their open-borders fiasco."The notion of kinetic strikes without actually interdicting and demonstrating to the American public that these are carrying drugs and [are] full of bad guys, I think, is a huge mistake and undermines the confidence in the administration's actions," said Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA).Oh, please, as if Warner's crew ever cared about "demonstrating" anything beyond virtue-signaling photo ops at the border. Meanwhile, Republicans are all in, because—duh—this is how you actually save lives.

"They've got good legal justification for what they’re doing," said Idaho GOP Senator Jim Risch, the chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. "The president really ought to be congratulated for saving the lives of young American people. He should be thanked by the many parents who won’t even know that they won’t have to bury kids prematurely. They're doing good work. They're doing it lawfully, and I encourage them to keep it up."

Spot on, Senator. 

The Trump team has bent over backward with at least 13 bipartisan briefings to keep Congress in the loop, because transparency matters when you're dropping truth bombs on terrorists. Expect more fireworks: This admin's locked and loaded, turning the tide on the narco nightmare one explosive reminder at a time. God bless America, and good riddance to the bad guys.

NYC's Socialist Speed Bump: Parents Pedal Away from Public Schools Faster Than You Can Say 'Free Everything'

Comrade Mamdani and his fake smile

Ah, New York City, the city that never sleeps, unless it's dreaming up new ways to chase away its taxpaying residents. 

In a plot twist that feels like a bad sequel to Escape from New York, socialist wunderkind Zohran Mamdani has clinched the mayoral throne, and the exodus is already underway. Not the usual celebrity flight to the Hamptons, but something far more poignant: parents yanking their kids from the clutches of the city's public education system like it's on fire. And spoiler alert: it might be, metaphorically speaking.

Enter Christopher Rim, the school placement consultant who's suddenly busier than a one armed juggler. Chatting with the New York Post, Rim spilled the beans on the frantic scramble: at least 23 families have pinged him about shipping their middle- and high-schoolers off to private academies in friendlier zip codes—think greener pastures in other states, where "curriculum" doesn't come with a side of ideological indoctrination.

"Within the first 30 minutes of AP announcing Mamdani’s victory, I got three messages from families looking to move," Rim said, probably while checking his phone for the fourth and fifth.It's not like this was a bolt from the blue, either. These folks have been stress-testing their escape hatches for months. Rim dished that a solid half-dozen clients had already bolted to Connecticut, prepping for the inevitable red-flag wave over City Hall. "Over the summer, I started hearing families say, ‘I don’t know what we are going to do if this guy wins,'" he explained. "They were like, 'He's going to win, and there's no reason [to wait].'"

And who can blame them? A chunk of these fleeing families are Jewish, and their beef isn't with spoiled gefilte fish, it's with Mamdani's not-so-subtle Israel distaste, which has them eyeing the horizon for safety's sake. Rim put it bluntly: "They're saying they're worried about safety in their everyday life. I don't even think it's a financial thing. I don't think it's the taxes or how much more money they would have to pay to live here." 

In other words, when your mayor-in-waiting treats Israel's right to exist like an optional gym membership, folks start prioritizing survival over skyline views.

Pre-election vibes showed a JL Partners survey had 9 percent of New Yorkers vowing to definitely escape the city if Mamdani waltzed into Gracie Mansion, with another 25 percent mulling it over like that bottle of milk you left in the fridge over your vacation. Now, post-victory, the rubber's hitting the road, or in this case, the I-95 southbound lane.

Rim's latest story is about a family that's erased New York University and Columbia from the college wish list, because nothing says "welcome to adulthood" like waking up in a Mamdani-managed socialist metropolis. "These are families who have been thinking of leaving, been wanting to leave," Rim said. "This is just the final thing that pushed them to New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, or even further."

Even Israel is looking better and perhaps safer than New York City, for Jews.

So here's to the pioneers of the Great NYC Brain Drain 2.0, may their U-Hauls be swift and their new schools free of mandatory "equity" field trips. Meanwhile, back in the five boroughs, the socialists can ponder their utopia: fewer kids, more echo chambers, and a budget shortfall you could pilot a drone through. Cheers to progress, comrades.

Can I get an amen Inshallah?

'Game Changer': DHS Drops the Mask on Portland's Costume-Clad Chaos Crew

If there's one thing the left's street theater has taught us, it's that nothing says "mostly peaceful" quite like a gaggle of grown adults playing dress-up to dodge the long arm of the law. You know the drill: bandanas yanked up like wannabe outlaws, ski masks straight out of a bad '80s heist flick, or those novelty character masks that leave just enough eyeball real estate to glare at the cameras. 

Lately in Portland, where the nightly "protests" have morphed into a full-blown cosplay convention outside the ICE facility, these merry pranksters have upped the ante. Full-blown costumes now, folks, the kind that wouldn't look out of place at a Comic-Con for malcontents. It's a page ripped right from the "No Kings" playbook back in mid-October, where the goal is straight-up deception of the feds trying to do their jobs.

A couple of snapshots from the scene say they've got more layers than an onion.

But here's where the plot twists: Those new rules slated to kick in come January just got fast-tracked. DHS hit the fast-forward button, and they're live now. No more hiding behind the Halloween haul if you're breaking the law. Straight from the DHS site, do yourself a favor and hit the "prohibited conduct" section for the unvarnished truth:

All persons are prohibited from engaging in the following conduct, on federal property or in areas outside federal property, that affects, threatens, or endangers federal property or persons on the federal property:

(a) Disorderly conduct, which includes, but is not limited to, assaulting, fighting, harassing, intimidating, threatening or other violent behavior, lewd acts, or the inappropriate disposal of feces, urine, and other bodily fluids.

(b) Wearing a mask, hood, disguise, or device that conceals the identity of the wearer when attempting to avoid detection or identification while violating any federal, state, or local law, ordinance, or regulation.

(c) Creating a loud or unusual noise, noxious odor, or other nuisance. Katie Daviscourt, the Post Millennial's investigative reporter who held her own at President Trump's Antifa roundtable last month, nails it: the new policy is a "game changer" in this endless tug-of-war between the black-bloc berserkers, their media cheerleaders, and an administration that's finally pushing back.

DHS laid it out in their rollout: The rushed timeline? Blame the "sharp uptick in violence" against immigration officers and detention centers—because nothing screams "justice reform" like firebombing feds. Other goodies in the package?

Expanded Charging Authority: FPS gets the green light to nail violators on or off property, as long as it messes with Uncle Sam's turf or tenants.

Modernized Prohibited Conduct: Drones, unauthorized tinkering, and digital sabotage are all off-limits now, because apparently even the tech bros in the mob need boundaries.

Additional Prohibited Conduct: Extra ammo for anything gumming up the works on federal grounds, safety, security, the whole orderly shebang.

Clearer Public Notice: Signs at the gates spelling it out, no fine print required.

Collaboration with Stakeholders: Teamwork makes the dream work: feds, guards, and local cops all in the huddle. Look, if history's any guide, the ACLU's ambulance-chasers will be filing briefs before the ink dries. Free speech! Expression! 

Oh, the humanity! But until the Ninth Circuit plays dress-up judge, at least ICE's got a sharper toolkit to unmask the mobs, and remind Portland's enablers that those "nonexistent" anarchists? Yes, they're very real, and very done hiding.

DeSantis Drops Epic Burn on NYC's Potential Refugee Crisis: 'Gonna Have to Charge an Entry Tax'

Oh, the drama in the Big Apple. As New Yorkers had braced for what could be the ultimate "get me outta here" moment in the mayoral race, the chatter's a mix of eye-rolls, escape plans, and, let's be real, a whole lot of schadenfreude from the rest of us thankfully living elsewhere.

Now that comrade Zohran Mamdani pulled off the win, we're talking biblical-level exodus. A Daily Mail poll drops the bomb: 765,000 folks would bolt for the hills "definitely," with another 2 million mulling it over like finding out your Tinder date was not the gender you though they were.

"The departure of at least 765,000 citizens would be one of the biggest mass exoduses in American history, with a population equivalent in size to Washington DC, Las Vegas or Seattle leaving the Big Apple," the outlet helpfully reminds us. 

Yes, nothing says "progress" like turning the city that never sleeps into the city that never stops hemorrhaging residents. So, where do all these freedom-seekers scatter? Straight to the red-state promised lands, baby. Places with sane taxes, actual beaches, and governors who don't treat businesses like piñatas at a Castro family reunion. So Florida's at the top of the list, now that Mamdani beat the two narcissists, Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa.

Ron DeSantis, the Sunshine State's unflappable boss, has been fielding this refugee roulette like a pro for months. Back in early July, right after Mamdani snagged the Dem primary like it was free kale at a Bernie rally, DeSantis unloaded on Fox News with Sean Hannity:

"We've absorbed a lot of people over the years," DeSantis told Fox News' Sean Hannity on Tuesday evening. "I think this guy's policies, soup to nuts, are probably the most radical left that I've ever seen of a major party candidate in a big jurisdiction." 

"I'm telling you, I think I'm going to have to charge an entry tax or something because of this guy, because I don't know if we're going to be able to absorb everyone that's going to flee his poor rule if he gets in." 

Classic DeSantis: part policy wonk, part stand-up comic. He doubled down on Election Day because why not troll the coastal elites when they're handing you the mic? He even joked (perhaps only half jokingly?) with one X user that he'd consider sending the NYC refugees to southern Connecticut if necessary. 

Now, let's get real for a second, because this isn't just DeSantis' problem, it's the eternal gripe of every red-state conservative who's watched their quiet slice of paradise get "Californicated."

You know the drill: Blue-city refugees flood south, wallets fat from remote work, griping about the old regime... only to start voting for rent control, bike lanes that go nowhere, and school boards that prioritize pronouns over phonics. Suddenly, your affordable suburb's got avocado toast prices and drag queen story hours on speed dial.

Don't get me wrong, Florida has the room, and DeSantis is the guy you'd want manning the border (irony noted). But here's my hot take, unfiltered: If you're ditching a blue hellhole because it's too pricey, too regulated, too everything, do us all a solid and leave the socialism at the Holland Tunnel. Don't waltz into Raleigh, Austin, or Miami preaching the gospel of "tax the rich" that turned your old zip code into a ghost town.

Call it gatekeeping if you want, or call it tough love. But in a world where the left's "compassion" means funding open borders and defunding cops, red states are the last bulwark against the madness.  Vote wisely. And maybe leave the DSA membership card behind.

Let's wait and watch what happens next in the newly elected blue cities.

Ted Cruz's Impeachment Wish Comes True: Rep. Brandon Gill Drops the Hammer on Judge Boasberg, the Deep State's Favorite Gavel-Wielding Enforcer

Oh, the sweet sound of accountability echoing through the marble halls of Congress, like a liberal's safe space suddenly discovering the concept of consequences. Judge James Boasberg, that judicial snowflake who's been melting under scrutiny, is now officially on thin ice thicker than a Biden family business deal. As my sharp-eyed colleague Katie Jerkovich laid out last Friday, Republican Rep. Byron Donalds (FL-19) spilled the beans on Fox News' The Ingraham Angle, hinting that his Texas colleague, Rep. Brandon Gill (TX-26) was gearing up to serve Judge Boasberg a piping hot platter of impeachment articles. 

The reason for the impeachment is due to Boasberg playing activist ringmaster in the circus that was the Trump probe, green-lighting subpoenas that snagged phone records from nine U.S. Senators like they were low-hanging fruit of a loom. And leading the charge was none other than Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), one of the subpoenaed senators, who'd been hollering for Boasberg's robe to get yanked faster than Adam Schiff can spout a lie.

Well, wishes do come true when you're not wishing on a star but on a filibuster. The House finally delivered the goods on Tuesday, with Gill introducing the Articles of Impeachment against Boasberg. 

"I just filed Articles of Impeachment against radical activist Judge James Boasberg," Gill announced with hidden glee.

"Judge Boasberg abused his power by weaponizing the judiciary against critics of the Biden Administration. As part of the Arctic Frost Investigation, Judge Boasberg signed off on frivolous nondisclosure orders to conceal the fact that sitting US Senators were being surveilled.

"Not only was this action egregiously improper; it was a gross violation of the separation of powers.

"Judge Boasberg is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors, is unfit for office, and should be impeached."

In a follow-up chat that could double as a masterclass in calling out judicial malpractice, Gill didn't mince words: Boasberg had "compromised the impartiality of the judiciary." Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX), is formally introducing impeachment articles against U.S. District Judge James Boasberg on Tuesday for his role in the "Arctic Frost" probe.

Republican allies of President Donald Trump have been criticizing Boasberg after news broke that he was the judge who signed off on subpoenas and other measures in former Special Counsel Jack Smith's probe.

"Chief Judge Boasberg has compromised the impartiality of the judiciary and created a constitutional crisis. He is shamelessly weaponizing his power against his political opponents, including Republican members of Congress who are faithfully serving the American people within their jurisdiction," Gill told Fox News Digital.

"Judge Boasberg was an accomplice in the egregious Arctic Frost scandal where he equipped the Biden DOJ to spy on Republican senators. His lack of integrity makes him clearly unfit for the gavel. I am proud to once again introduce articles of impeachment against Judge Boasberg to hold him accountable for his high crimes and misdemeanors."

It's not just Lone Star firebrands lighting this fuse. Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), whose phone records got the full Snowden treatment in this mess, teamed up with Republican House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (OH-4) on Fox Business' Larry Kudlow show. She confirmed she had tapped Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) to drag Boasberg before the committee for a testify-or-fry session. Because nothing says "transparency" like hauling a judge in to explain why he thought spying on senators was just another Tuesday.

Gill's resolution lays it out in black-and-white legalese that's about as subtle as a sledgehammer to a piñata: one count of abuse of power, per the text we scooped first at Fox News Digital. "Ignoring his responsibility to wield the power of his office in a constitutional manner, Chief Judge Boasberg granted Special Counsel John L. Smith authorization to issue frivolous nondisclosure orders in furtherance of the Federal Bureau of Investigation project codenamed ARCTIC FROST," the text said.

"These nondisclosure orders covered Members of Congress who were acting in accord with their legislative duties and privileges guaranteed by Article 1, Section 6, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution."

Look, impeaching federal judges isn't like giving out a traffic ticket. It's rarer than an honest politician's memoir. Since 1803, we've only seen 15 such spectacles in U.S. history, with a measly eight ending in Senate convictions. 

The usual suspects? "Making false statements, favoritism toward litigants or special appointees, intoxication on the bench, and abuse of the contempt power." If rubber-stamping Deep State dirt on lawmakers doesn't qualify as the judicial equivalent of drunk-driving a gavel, I don't know what does. Buckle up, Boasberg; the bench might be getting a vacancy notice.

Wouldn't it be lovely?
