Just hours after The Gateway Pundit reported the latest brutal targeting of WNBA savior Caitlin Clark, the Phoenix Mercury organization posted a classless cartoon mocking her on their official social media.

The stick-figure graphic showed former Fever player DeWanna Bonner (now with Phoenix) lying on the ground laughing hysterically with the caption: “De-wanna piece of this?!?”

The now-deleted image was an obvious, tone-deaf dig at Clark, who had just been left writhing on the floor in a nearly identical position after being fisted in the neck/throat area during a loose-ball scramble.

During Wednesday night’s game in Indianapolis, Mercury player Alyssa Thomas was caught on film delivering a cheap shot to Clark while she was on the ground fighting for the ball.

Multiple angles show Thomas driving her fist/forearm directly into Clark’s neck and throat. Video evidence also captured a knee to the groin area during the same sequence.

No foul was called. No flagrant was reviewed. Nothing.

Clark later left the game with a back injury after another physical play. Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White unloaded on the officials postgame, calling out the “cheap shots” on her star player.

Stephanie White goes off on the refs on the AT fist to Caitlin & other no calls:

“The fact that it was a no-call, it’s absolutely egregious & utterly disrespectful. We have a generational talent and a WNBA superstar, who had two cheap shots right there that weren’t called. She… pic.twitter.com/fK8NqaBuss

Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) on Thursday eviscerated the Democratic witness at a DOGE Subcommittee hearing, Gina Plata-Nino, on the abuse of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits to buy unhealthy foods and sugary sodas. 

During a House Oversight Delivering on Government Efficiency Subcommittee hearing titled “Combating Waste, Fraud, and Abuse in SNAP,” the Texas Republican asked one simple question: “Should SNAP dollars be spent on sodas?”

Plata-Nino is the Director of SNAP Policy and Advocacy at the Food Research & Action Center (FRAC), a so-called “anti-hunger” advocacy organization, and she couldn’t even answer the question.

After initially refusing to, in her words, “dictate what Americans should or should not eat or may have access to,” the free food and soda advocate suggested that people need soda “to survive.” When asked to clarify, she said “some of them do,” claiming that people with low blood sugar or kidney issues need to drink soda.

“Is that right? You think they need Coca-Cola to survive? Do you think that’s the most appropriate use of our tax dollars?” Gill fired back. She went on to claim that “in some circumstances they do,” citing “medical records and expertise.”

Then she denied saying that Americans need Coca-Cola to survive, before adding, “I will not answer for individuals and their choices.”

Asked if sugary sodas have nutritional benefits, she claimed, “I am not an expert. I would have to look at the dietary guidelines.” Gill responded, “I don’t think that there’s nutritional value to sugary sodas. I think most people in this room would agree with that assessment. But you have no opinion?” But she refused to answer, stating, “I’m here to talk about the food needs and the hunger crisis that individuals here in America are facing.” She even went on to claim that there’s “no data proving” that soda does not make the American people healthier, after Gill ripped her for being “so ideologically dug in” that she can’t answer a simple question about soda’s nutritional value.

After a back-and-forth over the necessity of sugary sodas being paid for by tax dollars, where Plata-Nino repeatedly claimed that soda is one of “food resources” that people “need,” Gill then pivoted, asking if soda companies and other companies that profit from SNAP benefits are funding the Food Research & Action Center.

“Is your organization funded by organizations that make money from food stamps?” Gill asked, receiving no response. After six seconds of dead silence from Plata-Nino, Gill asked again, “Do organizations that profit from food stamps fund your organization, or businesses?”

Though she claimed she had no knowledge of or access to the funding data, Gill brought the receipts, showing that General Mills, the manufacturer of over 100 brands, ranging from high-sugar processed cereals to snacks to desserts and pastries.  

Still, she claimed that “Retailers are the major beneficiaries,” as if the companies supplying grocery stores don’t profit from sales.

Asked if there was a conflict of interest, she let six seconds of deafening silence fill the room, refusing to answer again.

Transcript:

Gill: Should SNAP dollars be spent on sodas?

Plata-Nino: The purpose of the SNAP program is to provide families to have food and beverages.

Gill: Should it be spent on sugary sodas?

Plata-Nino: I am happy to talk about hunger and nutrition, but not dictate what Americans should or should not eat or may have access to.

Gill: I’m asking if tax dollars should be used to pay for sodas.

Plata-Nino: Taxpayers’ money should be utilized to ensure that individuals have access to the food that they need to survive or may be accessible to them.

Gill: Do they need sugary sodas to survive?

Plata-Nino: Some of them do, who do have low blood issues, who may have kidney issues.

Gill: Is that right? You think they need Coca-Cola to survive? Do you think that’s the most appropriate use of our tax dollars?

Plata-Nino: I am not a physician, but medical records and expertise do show that in some circumstances they do.

Gill: You were just citing the health needs, apparently, of the American people. So do the American people need Coca-Cola to survive?

Plata-Nino: I did not say that.

Gill: I’m asking you. I’m giving you the opportunity to say yes or no.

Plata-Nino: I will not answer for individuals and their choices.

Gill: You think that there are some Americans who need Coca-Cola to survive? Is that your testimony?

Plata-Nino: I am happy to talk about the food and nutrition needs that individuals have.

Gill: You just don’t know? You just don’t know. I think most people can rationally say that you don’t need Coca-Cola to survive. Wouldn’t you agree?

Plata-Nino: I agree that we have a hunger crisis and that we need to address it by ensuring that individuals have the food resources that they need.

Gill: Got it. And one of those is sugary Coca-Cola. What does SNAP stand for?

Plata-Nino: It’s the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

Gill: What’s nutritional about Coca-Cola?

Plata-Nino: I am not a nutritionist. I am a food-security expert in ensuring that individuals have the food resources that they need.

Gill: This is a common-sense question. All of these have been common-sense questions. I’m just asking you, is there nutritional value to sugary sodas? It’s a yes-or-no question.

Plata-Nino: I am not an expert. I would have to look at the dietary guidelines.

Gill: You’re not an expert. I don’t think that there’s nutritional value to sugary sodas. I think most people in this room would agree with that assessment. But you have no opinion?

Plata-Nino: I’m here to talk about the food needs and the hunger crisis that individuals here in America are facing.

Gill: Are you that ideologically dug in that you want our taxpayers paying for sugary sodas, that you will not, in a straightforward way, admit that sugary sodas are not helpful for the American people?

Plata-Nino: I think that focusing on soda when people are going hungry is an issue.

Gill: We spend a lot of our — a lot of our tax dollars are spent on soda. That’s why I’m asking about it. And you appear to be so ideologically dug in that you won’t answer a simple question that that’s not an appropriate use of our tax dollars and that that does not, in fact, make the American people more healthy.

Plata-Nino: I won’t answer because there’s no data sort of proving that.

Gill: Do you need data to determine whether drinking soda is healthy? I’m sorry. It’s a serious question. Is there some– do you believe that perhaps drinking sodas every day is healthy?

Plata-Nino: The worst health outcome is hunger when individuals don’t have the resources —

Gill: Do you satiate hunger with Coca-Cola?

Plata-Nino: I did not say that.

Gill: But you said that the worst health outcome is hunger, and I’m asking you about sugary sodas.

Plata-Nino: And I’m focusing on the nutrition needs and making sure that children have the resources they need.

Gill: Is your organization funded by soft-drink makers?

Plata-Nino: I am not in charge of development, but no.

Gill: It’s not, ok. Is your organization funded by organizations that make money from food stamps? Do organizations that profit from food stamps fund your organization, or businesses?

Plata-Nino: I mean, in the, in the — I can’t comment to that. Happy to talk about the resources needed.

Gill: Does General Mills fund your organization?

Plata-Nino: I don’t have access to that information.

Gill: I do. It’s right here. They do fund your organization. Do they profit off of food stamps?

Plata-Nino: Retailers are the major beneficiaries.

Gill: Do you think that that’s a conflict of interest?

Plata-Nino: That’s where EBT dollars are utilized.

Gill: Yes, and they’re profiting off of your advocacy. Do you think that that’s a conflict of interest? I think most people think that’s a conflict of interest. I know you don’t want to answer. My time is up.

The company formerly known as Dominion Voting Systems has dropped its massive $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit against MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell and his company.

Court filings show the parties reached a confidential settlement, bringing the five-year case to a close.

The lawsuit has been dismissed with prejudice, meaning it cannot be refiled, while both sides agreed to pay their own legal fees and costs.

The voting machine company, now operating under the name Liberty Vote after being acquired by former Republican election official Scott Leiendecker in 2025, offered no public explanation beyond confirming that the parties had reached a confidential settlement.

“The parties have agreed to a confidential settlement to this matter,” a Liberty Vote spokesperson said in a statement.

Lindell celebrated the dismissal as a major victory after years of litigation that he has repeatedly said nearly destroyed his business.

According to LindellTV:

Lindell called the dismissal a major victory not only for himself, but for MyPillow and its employees, who had been facing a $1.3 billion legal threat for years.

“It’s a great win for MyPillow, my employees, and everybody that’s been through this.”

But Lindell says the fight isn’t over.
“I’m not worried about being vindicated. I want these machines gone. I want paper ballots, hand-counted. I want secure elections for all people.”

To go along with this major victory – Election Crime Bureau has unveiled a HISTORIC EVIDENCE dossier on the 2020 election: 800+ pages 824 findings 2,517 citations. Five years of compiled research, court records, sworn testimony, government documents, and technical forensics.

“Anyone that ever says, ‘There’s no evidence’ … this is like a library. It’s a historical library with 100% evidence that backs each thing up.”

Dominion filed the $1.3 billion suit in 2021 after Lindell publicly stated that their machines were used to rig the election for Joe Biden. The company claimed Lindell was lying to sell pillows and boost his profile.

Dominion argued those claims were false and defamatory, seeking $1.3 billion in damages.

Throughout the litigation, Lindell remained one of President Donald Trump’s most outspoken allies on election integrity issues, insisting he would continue speaking out despite mounting legal pressure.

The dismissal closes one of Dominion’s final major cases against a high-profile Trump ally. The company previously reached a $787.5 million settlement with Fox News in 2023 and has also resolved litigation involving other prominent figures connected to post-election challenges.

Lindell has estimated that defending himself and MyPillow throughout the legal battle cost him roughly $20 million.

“I’m still going after them,” Lindell said. “I don’t care if it’s sold to Liberty Vote or whatever. All machines have to go and I’m not stopping, and they know that.”

Lindell is currently running as a Republican for Governor of Minnesota. The dropped lawsuit removes a massive cloud hanging over his campaign.

He previously told WCCO per CBS that it was a “big relief” to be able to run for governor “and not have to have in the back of my mind a worry about a $1.3 billion lawsuit.”

The timing could not be better.

Starmer finishes like he started: freeing dangerous criminals.

Failing British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has resigned and is expected to be substituted by far-leftist former Manchester mayor Andy Burnham.

But before he does, he will leave a ‘parting gift’ for the Kingdom: Killers, rapists, and sex offenders among the over 6,000 criminals that will be freed early from prison.

The Telegraph reported

“David Lammy, the Justice Secretary, is to implement legal changes that will see criminals accused of serious offences released early for the first time as part of Government efforts to prevent jails from running out of space.

They include prisoners convicted of manslaughter, rape, GBH and sex offences who will be eligible for release halfway through their sentences rather than serving the current tariff of two-thirds of their sentence.”

A criminal jailed for a total of 15 years for manslaughter or rape will be freed after 7.5 years rather than 10.

“Criminals convicted of burglary, theft, assault and repeated shoplifting will be freed as little as a third of the way through their sentences, rather than the current 40 per cent, provided they have not committed any serious rule breaches.

It is understood that the first 700 offenders will be freed in September, followed by similar numbers for each of the next nine months in a staggered release plan to get the new system up and running.”

GB News reported:

“Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick blamed Sir Keir Starmer for agreeing to the measures, describing it as a ‘gift to hardened criminals.’

[…] ‘Offenders will be able to terrorize communities with impunity. The only people benefiting from this Labour Government are criminals and illegal migrants. Instead of offering huge sentence discounts to killers and rapists, Starmer should free up space in our prisons by deporting the 10,800 foreign offenders clogging up our jails. But he won’t, as he’s wedded to broken human rights laws and previously campaigned to keep foreign criminals in the UK’.”

A Minnesota family has been doxxed after a viral video emerged showing them supposedly ‘racially abusing’ a Somali family house-shopping in their neighborhood.

As FOX 9 Minneapolis reported, two white Shakopee residents named Brian and Jen Wagner were filmed on TikTok allegedly harassing a Somali family looking to purchase a home. Per the outlet, the incident occurred on Monday.

The video opens with Brian Wagner telling the Somalis to get lost and mocking their hygiene.

“Nobody wants you here,” he says.

‘Not a single person here wants you,’ he adds. “I can smell you from here.”

Brian Wagner then demanded to know where they got their money to afford a home in the neighborhood.

“Where did you get the money?’ the man asks.

Jen Wagner then emerges on the scene to make her own accusation.

“When did you steal money to buy the house?” she demands.

“You steal your money. You should work for a living as we do.”

NEW: Minnesota couple fires back after they were accused of being racist toward a Somali family, saying the viral video does not show the full context.

The woman filming the encounter repeatedly mocks the couple ‘bullying’ the Somali family.

“Worry about your own money,” the woman repeatedly says in the viral video. “You f**kers are sad as f**k!”

“Nobody bothered you guys,” She adds. “You guys decided to be in people’s business.”

“Why are you so oppressed?”

Angry leftists later doxxed the couple, publishing their private address online and potentially endangering their lives.

Leftists also published details of their daycare.

The Wagners, however, insist the clip paints a very different picture of what actually occurred. They claim that they were the ones being racially targeted by the Somali family.

Their lawyer, Seidlich Law, released the following statement, which FOX 9 Minneapolis obtained:

To Whom It May Concern,

Thank you for reaching out and giving the Wagners an opportunity to formally address a TikTok video that is being weaponized to create a false narrative to negatively characterize the Wagner family as “racist.” This incomplete video is being used to coordinate a cyberbullying campaign against an honest, patriotic, kind, and hard-working family.

The Wagners categorically deny any and all allegations implied by this video. This is a situation where a provocateur is capitalizing on political tensions to play the victim, rather than the primary aggressor. First, the clip does not include the statements and racial slurs that were launched at Mr. Wagner that are too inappropriate to be mentioned in a public statement. The circulating clip lacks critical context.

The Wagners do not conduct themselves in a racist manner personally or professionally. In fact, the Wagners are the epitome of proud Americans who believe in the dignity and equal worth of every human being, regardless of background. We are calling on all news stations and media outlets to exercise journalistic responsibility before amplifying the narrative built on an incomplete and misleading video. We ask that we be contacted before anything related to this video is published.

Additionally, this is a situation that has led to undeserved bullying, harassment, and other tortious acts. Therefore, we will pursue all legal actions against those involved in these acts. We have also contacted law enforcement to pursue any potential criminal charges, including the Department of Justice.
