BREAKING: ‘Squad’ Democrat Suffers Crushing Primary Defeat

The New Atlantis

U.S. Rep. Cori Bush (D-MS) — who has garnered a reputation as one of the most far-left members of Congress — has been defeated by primary challenger Wesley Bell.

The result falls in line with weeks of polling data, which found St. Louis prosecutor Wesley Bell with a commanding lead over the “Squad” Democrat. A recent poll from the Democratic Majority for Israel, DMFI PAC, found Bell leading by six-percentage points.

The race was ultimately called with roughly 13 percent of the vote in shortly after 10 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday. Bell had a commanding lead at the time of the race call.

Bush, like a number of her progressive colleagues, had been the target of a massive spending campaign due to her opposition to the war in Gaza.

She is also facing a number of legal issues that caused her campaign to take a hit. In January, the Missouri Democrat became the subject of a federal investigation due to alleged misuse of Congressional funds.

Between 2020 and 2022, Rep. Bush spent approximately $500,000 on security detail. Her “Defund the Police” mantra opened her up to criticism of accepting security while calling for the dismantling of urban police departments around the nation. By February 2023, that figure had grown to more than $627,000, according to the New York Post.

The Daily Mail added that the DOJ has subpoenaed the House Sergeant at Arms for records relating to the misuse of congressional funds for security purposes. As of today, Rep. Bush has spent more than three-quarters of a million dollars in taxpayer funds on security line items for her office.

Bush’s loss comes just week after another “Squad” Democrat suffered a crushing primary defeat in U.S. Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY). Bowman was unable to survive a challenge from primary opponent George Latimer, who heavily focused on the congressman’s opposition to Israel and the war in Gaza.

The race ended up being one of the most expensive in U.S. history with more than $25 million spent in total. It also divided the Democratic Party, as Bowman received endorsements from fellow progressives like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Senator Bernie Sanders (D-VT). Latimer received endorsements from a number of prominent Democrats himself, including Hillary Clinton.

Bowman was ultimately defeated by a wide margin.

Rep. Omar was also the target of a fierce primary campaign, though she was ultimately able to hang on.

NEW: Felony Charges Dropped Against Teen Who Drove Scooter Over Pride-Themed Crosswalk

The New Atlantis

Felony charges have been dropped against a teenager who left skid marks on a crosswalk that was decorated with an LBGT pride mural in downtown Spokane, Washington.

According to court documents obtained by local outlet KXLY, prosecutors were ordered to dismiss the charges of first-degree malicious mischief against Ruslan Turk, 19. The charge, a class-B felony in the state, carries a maximum sentence of up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.

The teen was initially arrested on June 5 after several residents dialed 911 to report on teens driving over the mural with scooters. The incident came after activists had gathered to repaint the mural after it was previously sat on fire back in May.

Police ultimately apprehended Turk and two other teens by accessing CCTV footage from nearby buildings.

In response, electric scooter and bike rental company Lime enacted a “no-go zone” on the crosswalk that caused their bike and scooters to lock up when crossing the vicinity of the

Lime Director of Government Relations Hayden Harvey announced at the time that the company “condemn these vile acts in no uncertain terms.”

“At a time when our teams at Lime are beginning pride celebrations around the globe, it is disturbing to see the hate taking place in Spokane,” he added. “We will not let the hateful few spoil the joy of Pride Month in Spokane, and are grateful for those working to make Spokane more welcoming for all.”

Washington Governor Jay Inslee recently signed legislation to update the state’s hate crime law to include the defacement of public property back in March. The updated law went into effect Thursday, June 6, meaning it is a felony to deface gay pride artwork in Washington state.

Prosecutors had requested a $15,000 bond, citing estimated costs of repairing the mural.

Liberal Fox News contributor Jessica Tarlov was instantly fact-checked by co-host Greg Gutfeld when she re-hashed the “inject bleach” hoax during Tuesday’s installment of “The Five.”

As soon as Tarlov falsely claimed that former President Donald Trump instructed people to “inject bleach” in order to fight COVID-19, the statement was immediately met with groans and pushback from her co-hosts. “Oh, come on,” exclaimed Jeanine Pirro.

“That’s a hoax,” added Greg Gutfeld as Tarlov attempted to double down. “It’s not a hoax,” she said, at which point Gutfeld replied with “he never said that” and told his co-host to look it up.

(Trump Sounds The Alarm On The US Currency – PREPARE NOW)

“It never happened! You are literally living in a delusion right now. That never was said. Do the research. No one ever said injecting bleach,” Gutfeld said. “Look it up, it’s been debunked,” he continued before comparing it to the “very fine people” hoax.

Seemingly unsure of her position, Tarlov immediately pulled out her phone and attempted to prove her claim.

That would be an impossible task, however, as the former president never told Americans that “injecting bleach” or other household cleaning products would be helpful against COVID-19.

The White House transcript at the time showed that Trump said:

And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that. So, that, you’re going to have to use medical doctors with. But it sounds – it sounds interesting to me.

Despite the fact that Trump never said it, the Biden-Harris Campaign has continuously referenced the hoax in campaign ads, rallies and network interviews.

WATCH: MSNBC Analyst Crushes Democrat Dreams With Brutal Election Data After Walz Pick

The New Atlantis

MSNBC election analyst Steve Kornacki provided his network’s far-left audience with sobering election data after Vice President Kamala Harris selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her presidential running-mate.

Walz — a progressive Democrat who presided over the George Floyd riots in 2020 — had become popular in online left-wing spaces in recent weeks. Left-wing X users were largely ecstatic with the pick, as many believe Walz will be able to appeal to white working class voters and Republicans while still remaining true to progressive causes.

MSNBC’s Steve Kornacki threw cold water on the notion that Walz has widespread appeal to these voters, however. He began by pointing to data from Stearns County, Minnesota, and noted that Democrats have been losing ground in recent years.

Now here’s the key, because this county, Democrats used to be much more competitive in. Look at this, in 2012, Barack Obama won 43% of the vote in this county. It was only a little bit more than 10 points that he lost to Romney by here. The floor fell out for Democrats here when Trump came along in that Clinton race in 2016, and they haven’t recovered it since,” he said.

The longtime elections analyst noted that Governor Walz underperformed Biden’s 2020 results in the county and stressed that it was “a far cry from what Obama was doing here

“And again, I’m showing you one. This is a stand-in for dozens of counties in Minnesota where you saw the same thing with large rural populations, blue-collar white populations, where Obama, and some of them he was winning, others he was holding his own just a dozen years ago,”Kornacki said.

“This is where Democrats have lost ground. And Walz in 2022, he didn’t gain any ground that the Democrats had lost. He didn’t do that here, he didn’t do that in other counties. Walz really owes his victory, that big margin, he got 8 points there statewide, he owes it to the Twin Cities area. The area where Democrats in Minnesota and all these other states are already doing well.”

Kornacki concluded by rejecting the notion that Walz has widespread appeal to rural and suburban voters. “And the idea that he’s got this automatic appeal with these small town areas in those three key battleground states, you don’t see it in what he actually did on the ballot in 2022.

JUST IN: Several Injured After Rocket Attack On U.S. Military Base In Iraq thumbnail

JUST IN: Several Injured After Rocket Attack On U.S. Military Base In Iraq

The New Atlantis

At least five U.S. personnel have been injured in rocket attack on a military base in Iraq that houses U.S. troops, several sources told Reuters. The attack comes as the world braces for a potential attack on Israel launched by Iran and its proxies after Israel assassinated leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah.

According to the report, two Katyusha rockets were fired at al Asad airbase in western Iraq, two Iraqi security sources told the outlet. While U.S. bases in Iraq have been targeted by Iran-backed militias in the past, it is currently unclear whether Monday’s attack is linked to any Iranian retaliation as of this report.

On Wednesday, the Iranian government released a statement blaming the United States for the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, who was killed in downtown Tehran while staying in a military-run guesthouse. It is strongly believed that Israel was behind the assassination, as the Israeli government has repeatedly vowed to target Hamas leadership.

Just hours before Haniyeh’s assassination last week, Israel announced the assassination of Fuad Shukr, a senior Hezbollah leader in Lebanon.

Two U.S. officials told Reuters that at least one of the wounded Americans was “seriously injured” in Monday’s attack.

The current casualty count of five is based on initial reports that could still change, the officials cautioned. “Base personnel are conducting a post-attack damage assessment,” one of the officials said.

Last week, the U.S. carried out strikes against suspected militants who U.S. officials said were getting ready to launch drone and rocket attacks against U.S. troops.

In anticipation of possible Iranian retaliation for the assassination on Haniyeh, the U.S. has deployed additional fighter jets and Naval assets to the region. Iran, along with its proxies in Lebanon and Iraq, launched drone and missile attacks against Israel earlier this year following the bombing of a diplomatic building that killed several Iranian military leaders.

At least five U.S. personnel have been injured in rocket attack on a military base in Iraq that houses U.S. troops, several sources told Reuters. The attack comes as the world braces for a potential attack on Israel launched by Iran and its proxies after Israel assassinated leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah.

According to the report, two Katyusha rockets were fired at al Asad airbase in western Iraq, two Iraqi security sources told the outlet. While U.S. bases in Iraq have been targeted by Iran-backed militias in the past, it is currently unclear whether Monday’s attack is linked to any Iranian retaliation as of this report.

On Wednesday, the Iranian government released a statement blaming the United States for the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, who was killed in downtown Tehran while staying in a military-run guesthouse. It is strongly believed that Israel was behind the assassination, as the Israeli government has repeatedly vowed to target Hamas leadership.

Just hours before Haniyeh’s assassination last week, Israel announced the assassination of Fuad Shukr, a senior Hezbollah leader in Lebanon.

Two U.S. officials told Reuters that at least one of the wounded Americans was “seriously injured” in Monday’s attack.

The current casualty count of five is based on initial reports that could still change, the officials cautioned. “Base personnel are conducting a post-attack damage assessment,” one of the officials said.

Last week, the U.S. carried out strikes against suspected militants who U.S. officials said were getting ready to launch drone and rocket attacks against U.S. troops.

In anticipation of possible Iranian retaliation for the assassination on Haniyeh, the U.S. has deployed additional fighter jets and Naval assets to the region. Iran, along with its proxies in Lebanon and Iraq, launched drone and missile attacks against Israel earlier this year following the bombing of a diplomatic building that killed several Iranian military leaders.

REPORT: Democrat Senator  Opposes Top Harris VP Candidate As Party Tensions Simmer thumbnail

REPORT: Democrat Senator Opposes Top Harris VP Candidate As Party Tensions Simmer

The New Atlantis

Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) is reportedly concerned about the prospect of Kamala Harris selecting Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro as her running mate, and his advisors have conveyed these concerns to the Harris Campaign, according to a report from Politico. Shapiro is seen as the far and away most likely selection after Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker appeared to leak the selection.

According to the report, Fetterman’s advisors have told the Harris Campaign that Shapiro is too focused on his own political ambitions. The two Pennsylvania Democrats have long been involved in a feud after rising to prominence through opposite factions of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party.

Fetterman’s team explained to Harris’ aides that the two men had a number of key disagreements while they both served on Pennsylvania’s Board of Pardons, according to the three people familiar with the matter.

CAST YOUR VOTE: Should Voter ID Be Mandatory In The 2024 Election?

“Fetterman sought to revitalize the institution and provide second chances to some convicts. Shapiro often took a less lenient position, arguing that he believed in criminal justice reform but that the commutations process was not the place for “structural” changes,” Politico reported. “Fetterman and Shapiro clashed in particular over the fate of Lee and Dennis Horton, brothers who had been convicted in a fatal shooting and robbery in 1993 but maintained their innocence for decades.”

The report comes as Harris considers a number of potential running mates in a short period of time. Other options include Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota, Governor Andy Beshear of Kentucky, and Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ). Shapiro is currently a wide betting favorite, however, as Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker posted then quickly deleted a video praising the “Harris-Shapiro Campaign.”

Senator Fetterman is far from the only member of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party who is opposed to Shapiro’s candidacy. Earlier this month, a statewide candidate in Pennsylvania accused Shapiro of covering up sexual harassment within his office

“I want a VP pick that’s secure enough to be second under a woman, is content to be VP & won’t undermine the President to maneuver his own election & doesn’t sweep sexual harassment under the rug,” Pennsylvania treasurer candidate Erin McClelland wrote in an X post earlier this week. “I want someone that can speak to rural voters,” the Pennsylvania Democrat continued, adding that her choice for vice president would be North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper.

In a statement to the New York Post, McClelland noted that she did not mention Shapiro’s name directly, though she did add that her concerns about the governor’s presidential ambitions should be heard.

“If I were in [Harris’] situation, I would think very strongly about the difficulties that some women experience being in a top-level position, and having men around them that have to be satisfied with being second, third or answering to a woman,” she said.

One letter signed by nearly 50 progressive leaders pointed to Shapiro’s “shortcomings as a national candidate” and urged the vice president to consider Walz or Beshear instead.

Pelosi Wants New Addition To Mt. Rushmore: ‘You Could Add Biden’ thumbnail

Pelosi Wants New Addition To Mt. Rushmore: ‘You Could Add Biden’

The New Atlantis

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said that President Biden is worthy of being added to Mt. Rushmore during this Sunday’s installment of “CBS Sunday Morning.”

Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), former President Barack Obama and other Democrat leaders spearheaded an effort to get President Biden to end his re-election bid last month. High profile Democratic Party sources have reported that Pelosi and others were in favor of using the 25th Amendment, under which the president can be forced to resign if deemed mentally incapable by his cabinet.

The former House speaker told a radically different story on Sunday.

(ALERT: Biden’s New Executive Order Will Crush The US Dollar For Good)

“Please tell us what you told President Biden to persuade him to step aside,” asked CBS host Lesley Stahl.

“Well, I have never shared any conversations with a President of the United States publicly, so no,” Pelosi responded.

Stahl followed up by citing reports on Pelosi’s involvement in the pressure campaign.

“I wasn’t the leader of any pressure. Let me say things I didn’t do. I didn’t call one person. I did not call one person. I could always say to him, I never called anybody. What I’m saying is I had confidence that the president would make the proper choice for our country, whatever that would be, and I said that. Whatever that is, we’ll go with,” Pelosi said.

“He was in a good place to make whatever decision, top of his game. Such a consequential President of the United States., a Mount Rushmore kind of President of the United States,” she added.

Stahl then asked her to clarify whether President Biden belongs on Mt. Rushmore with Abraham Lincoln and George Washington.

“You got Teddy Roosevelt up there and he is wonderful. I don’t say take him down, but you could add Biden,” Pelosi replied.

JUST IN: Armed Woman Charged For Allegedly Threatening Former President Trump

The New Atlantis

Police in Washington D.C. arrested a Texas woman who allegedly traveled to Washington D.C. with a loaded firearm and made threats against former President Donald Trump.

The woman, Christina Montoya, was arrested after traveling to the nation’s capital. Law enforcement was first alerted to her threats by the Secret Service, according to a statement from the D.C. Metropolitan Police.

“Through the detectives’ investigation, 41-year-old Christina Montoya of San Antonio, Texas, was arrested and charged with carrying a pistol without a license, possession of an unregistered firearm, and threats against a former president,” police said in a statement.

Investigators said threats against the former president started on July 20. Police were able to locate the woman’s vehicle and found a Smith & Wesson M&P Shield pistol, a magazine and a gun lock after conducting a search, according to the police report.

The incident comes just weeks after Trump came millimeters away from assassination during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

In the weeks following the shooting, the Secret Service has been under intense scrutiny due to apparent security failures before and during the Pennsylvania rally. The Secret Service was aware of would-be Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks at least 90 minutes before the shooting, though the rooftop from which he fired was ultimately left uncovered.

Former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle ultimately resigned after several Republican and Democrat lawmakers called for removal.

The Secret Serice has urged Trump not to hold any more outdoor rallies in the wake of the shooting, though the former president has refused. Trump recently announced plans to return to Butler for another rally in the near future.

“I WILL CONTINUE TO DO OUTDOOR RALLIES, AND SECRET SERVICE HAS AGREED TO SUBSTANTIALLY STEP UP THEIR OPERATION. THEY ARE VERY CAPABLE OF DOING SO. NO ONE CAN EVER BE ALLOWED TO STOP OR IMPEDE FREE SPEECH OR GATHERING!!!” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.

WATCH: George Stephanopoulos Throws Tantrum Over Kamala Harris’ Racial Identity thumbnail

WATCH: George Stephanopoulos Throws Tantrum Over Kamala Harris’ Racial Identity

The New Atlantis

ABC’s George Stephanopoulos accused U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) of using a “slur” to describe Vice President Kamala Harris’ “racial identity and proceeded to throw a temper tantrum during Sunday’s edition of “This Week.”

The ABC host asked the Florida congressman for his thoughts on Trump’s appearance at a conference for black journalists earlier this week. Trump pointed out that Harris frequently leans on identity politics as a selling point and will tailor her message based on her audience. In particular, Trump noted that Harris will jump between her Indian and Jamaican heritage whenever convenient.

(Trump Sounds The Alarm On The US Currency – PREPARE NOW)

After Rep. Donalds attempted to discuss serious issues as opposed to Trump’s appearance at the conference, Stephanopoulos pressed the issue. “And you just repeated the slur again. If it doesn’t matter, why do you all keep questioning her identity? She’s always identified as a black woman. She is biracial. She has a Jamaican father and Indian mother. She’s always identified as both. Why are you questioning that?” a scowling Stephanopoulos asked.

“Well, George, first of all, this is something that’s actually a conversation throughout social media right now. There are a lot of people who are trying to figure this out. But again, that’s a side issue, not the main issue,” Donalds began to answer before he was cut off.

“Sir, one second, you just did it, you just did it again. Why do you insist on questioning her racial identity?” a visibly annoyed Stephanopoulos again asked.

Donalds again pointed to the substance of the conference, which was once again not satisfactory for the former Clinton advisor turned “journalist.”

“He talked about it on the stage yesterday in Atlanta for what, two minutes? He spent more than 35-40 minutes going after her record, talking about how radical of a senator that she was. She was the most liberal senator in the United States, in the United States Senate. That is a fact. He talked about the job that she did as vice president of the United States, a job I will add, which has been a failure for the American people.”

Despite the fact that Donalds pointed out that Harris was referred to as the “first Indian senator” by the Associated Press, Stephanopoulos continued to accuse him of using “slurs” against Harris’ “racial identity.

Despite the fact that Donalds pointed out that Harris was referred to as the “first Indian senator” by the Associated Press, Stephanopoulos continued to accuse him of using “slurs” against Harris’ “racial identity.

, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos accused U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) of using a “slur” to describe Vice President Kamala Harris’ “racial identity and proceeded to throw a temper tantrum during Sunday’s edition of “This Week.” The ABC host asked the Florida congressman for his thoughts on Trump’s appearance at a conference for black journalists earlier this week. Trump pointed out that Harris frequently leans on identity politics as a selling point and will tailor her message based on her audience. In particular, Trump noted that Harris will jump between her Indian and Jamaican heritage whenever convenient. (Trump Sounds The Alarm On The US Currency – PREPARE NOW) After Rep. Donalds attempted to discuss serious issues as opposed to Trump’s appearance at the conference, Stephanopoulos pressed the issue. “And you just repeated the slur again. If it doesn’t matter, why do you all keep questioning her identity? She’s always identified as a black woman. She is biracial. She has a Jamaican father and Indian mother. She’s always identified as both. Why are you questioning that?” a scowling Stephanopoulos asked. “Well, George, first of all, this is something that’s actually a conversation throughout social media right now. There are a lot of people who are trying to figure this out. But again, that’s a side issue, not the main issue,” Donalds began to answer before he was cut off. “Sir, one second, you just did it, you just did it again. Why do you insist on questioning her racial identity?” a visibly annoyed Stephanopoulos again asked. Donalds again pointed to the substance of the conference, which was once again not satisfactory for the former Clinton advisor turned “journalist.” “He talked about it on the stage yesterday in Atlanta for what, two minutes? He spent more than 35-40 minutes going after her record, talking about how radical of a senator that she was. She was the most liberal senator in the United States, in the United States Senate. That is a fact. He talked about the job that she did as vice president of the United States, a job I will add, which has been a failure for the American people.” Despite the fact that Donalds pointed out that Harris was referred to as the “first Indian senator” by the Associated Press, Stephanopoulos continued to accuse him of using “slurs” against Harris’ “racial identity.

Legendary American Classic Rock Band Announces Retirement From Touring

The New Atlantis

Legendary rock band Aerosmith abruptly cancelled the remainder of its “Peace Out” farewell tour dates and announced their formal retirement from touring.

The Rock and Roll Hall of FamE band announced Friday that lead singer Steven Tyler would not be able to recover from a recent vocal injury. In a joint statement, Tyler’s bandmates announced that they will not continue to tour together.

“It has been the honor of our lives to have our music become part of yours. In every club, on every massive tour and at moments grand and private you have given us a place in the soundtrack of your lives,” the band said in a statement.

“We’ve always wanted to blow your mind when performing. As you know, Steven’s voice is an instrument like no other. He has spent months tirelessly working on getting his voice to where it was before his injury. We’ve seen him struggling despite having the best medical team by his side,” the statement continued. “Sadly, it is clear, that a full recovery from his vocal injury is not possible. We have made a heartbreaking and difficult, but necessary, decision – as a band of brothers – to retire from the touring stage.”

Aerosmith was set to return to live performances in September, though a planned slate of shows is now cancelled. This includes a final upstate New York concert at the KeyBank Center in Buffalo early next year.

The award-winning band had been performing together for more than 50 years. Tyler, guitarist Joe Perry, bassist Tom Hamilton, drummer John Douglas and guitarist Brad Whitford are all in their 70’s, while drummer Joey Kramer was not scheduled to perform on the tour due to health and personal reasons.

Aerosmith’s farewell tour was initially announced in 2023, though performances were soon cancelled and rescheduled after just three shows due to a vocal injury sustained by Tyler.

“We are grateful beyond words for everyone who was pumped to get on the road with us one last time. Grateful to our expert crew, our incredible team and the thousands of talented people who’ve made our historic runs possible. A final thank you to you – the best fans on planet Earth,” Aerosmith said Friday. “Play our music loud, now and always. Dream On. You’ve made our dreams come true.”
