While conventional wisdom suggests that the Democratic Party is well on its way to winning the midterms, a stunning report from a notorious far-left paper suggests quite a different story.

The New York Times broke a colorful story this morning detailing the absolute dire straits the DNC finds itself in. Per the Times, President Trump has a $400 million super PAC, and the Republican National Committee is sitting on nearly $130 million. The DNC, however, is $2 million in debt.

Not only are the DNC and its allies so far behind the GOP when it comes to money, but the problem is so severe that they don’t want bills from vendors until after the election.

At the center of it all is foul-mouthed DNC chair Ken Martin, who is having one meltdown after another. He even threw a phone at one junior aide while berating the poor individual.

The New York Times reported:

The Democratic Party is so short on cash that leaders at its headquarters have undertaken a new gambit to mask the severity of the problems: asking vendors not to send bills until after the midterm elections.

The bookkeeping maneuver, which was described by three people briefed on it, is the latest sign of financial duress for the Democratic National Committee and its embattled leader as money troubles threaten to undercut Democratic momentum with 100 days until the midterms.

At the center is Ken Martin, the 53-year-old party chairman, who has found himself increasingly isolated, gripped by the fear that he will lose his job and relying on a vanishingly small circle of people he trusts, according to interviews with more than two dozen Democrats, including current and former D.N.C. officials and members.

Mr. Martin’s fraying nerves are showing. In a pique of frustration in early July, he threw his phone at the desk of a junior aide while upbraiding the person. The phone-tossing incident resulted in a formal complaint to the D.N.C.’s human resources department.

But that’s not all. Parnoia has also infected the building.

Martin is scared that his own party is launching a coup against him, despite how challenging the endeavor would be.

Mr. Martin has taken to making macabre jokes to colleagues about how long he will remain in his post, even though his term does not end until 2029.

He confronted the party’s finance director this spring over what he thought was a budding coup. And before he met with the top congressional Democrats, Senator Chuck Schumer of New York and Representative Hakeem Jeffries of New York, in mid-July, assurances were given to an ally of Mr. Martin’s that the two party leaders did not plan to use the gathering to call for the chairman’s resignation.

Mr. Martin was elected last February to a four-year term by the roughly 450 members of the D.N.C., and only a vote of the membership itself could push him out.

Martin is also fretting about the numerous leaks within the DNC. Earlier this year, he blasted his staff for leaking to reporters just how bad things were inside party headquarters.

“It p*sses me off when I see leaks out of this building,” Martin allegedly said. “No more of that sh*t! No more.”

In an interview with The Gateway Pundit, former NFL player and Democratic Republic of Congo presidential candidate Patrice Majondo Mwamba delivered a blunt warning that the Trump administration’s landmark critical minerals strategy with the DRC could be derailed by the very leadership in Kinshasa that signed the agreement.

Mwamba, a Texas Tech alumnus who previously ran for president in 2023 and finished 12th among 26 candidates after stepping aside for peace, told The Gateway Pundit that America’s push to secure Congo’s vast deposits of copper, lithium, cobalt and other strategic minerals is being undermined by “bad governance,” eastern unrest, and a push by current President Felix Tshisekedi to change the constitution to keep himself in office.

Mwamba explained how he helped lay the groundwork for the U.S.-DRC minerals partnership after his 2023 campaign.

“I was a very big advocate on how important it was for the DRC to actually partner with the United States of America,” he said. “One of the things that we had to offer was definitely our minerals potential… Given the fact that I do understand American politics quite well, I knew for a fact that the new administration would focus and shift its attention on the continent of Africa on a very transactional deal.”

He described sending official letters to the White House, Congress, and the Senate, emphasizing that the only path forward is “emancipating the private sector.”

The proposal he helped initiate with partners evolved into the Washington agreements and the United States and DRC Strategic Partnership Agreement.

Asked what President Trump has gotten right that previous leaders from both parties missed for 30 years, Mwamba explained that “the importance of actually pushing this opportunity through the private sector. You cannot develop a country… with just politics or regulations. At some point, you have to be able to open up your opportunities. Business people can develop the country, they can create jobs, and they can do much more.”

Mwamba also praised Trump for going “directly to the source” rather than through third parties, noting the president has reached out to over 18 African countries.

Yet Mwamba stressed that concrete wins remain scarce more than a year after the deal was signed.

“As far as the Congo, there is no win at this point besides the fact that the agreement was signed. To implement this agreement has been a challenge… We have a big problem in the Congo today, which is bad governance.”

He pointed to unrest in the Eastern Congo along the Rwanda border as making the business climate “quite challenging and difficult.”

For the United States, the primary achievement so far is symbolic.

“The good thing is they have sent a strong signal, not just in the region, but worldwide, that America is becoming very serious about taking these opportunities to the next level. Currently, the people that are controlling the mining sector on the continent are Chinese. This is the first time in my generation that the United States has decided to make this deal directly with African nations.”

Americans should care deeply about who controls Central Africa’s mines, Mwamba explained, because “without the large deposits of copper, lithium, cobalt… the DRC has 52 of the 55 strategic minerals on the globe—without the Congo, there is no modern technology. Without the Congo, there is really no strong development in the defense industry. The DRC is in the life of Americans on a daily basis: from your cell phone to your laptop to your machinery, everything.”

The candidate said that China currently controls “about 80% of the supply chain in the DRC.”

He warned that Congo’s stability affects nine neighboring countries and 250 to 300 million people.

When asked why Americans should support his efforts, Mwamba said, “I was born in the DRC, raised in Europe, and I’ve been in America for 26 years. For the past 10-plus years, I’ve been extremely involved at the highest level on the African continent. I’ve based myself in the DRC, but I advise some of the top African businessmen and presidents directly. I understand the dynamics required to conduct business properly. One of the things I’ve done when consulting is helping American companies navigate Africa, which is a challenge and not easy, and helping African leadership understand how Washington and America work.”

“Furthermore, I’ve been one of the biggest advocates on why the DRC should partner with the United States. To me, America should be a strategic partner. Every country has no choice but to have many different partners, but you have to pick one or two that you call strategic partners—those that enable you to grow and mature. What I love about America is that it brings standards. We have to have standards to fully mature the business. We are not here to make deals; we are here to build something together.”

On reports that Tshisekedi wants to revise the constitution to stay in power, Mwamba did not hold back.

“I am totally against that. The current President Felix Tshisekedi was the product of the first democratic passing of power from former President Kabila. I strongly stand by the fact that President Tshisekedi must respect the democratic way of handling the business and the process. It’s important for the Congo, for the continent, but most importantly for the stability of Congo. This is totally wrong and undemocratic. What former President Kabila did was open a new horizon for us to go forward. We don’t want to go back in time. Revising the constitution does very little for the stability of the DRC and the region, and we are seeing it currently with the unrest in the East. It is unconstitutional and against the law. Today, the people of Congo do not need to revise a constitution; they need food on the table, jobs created, and schools built so the next generation can profit from the gifts of the world. After his mandate, he should pass on power to the next generation. There is no reason for him to stay any longer than what the constitution allows.”

“For the Americans, it’s extremely dangerous,” he continued. “This deal is doomed to fail. It will be a dead bone and very costly for the people of the DRC, and it will be bad for the American people because America will still depend on getting its supplies from the Chinese. If we proceed in this way, we want to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past—like 1973 when former President Mobutu got independence from Belgium and took back the private sector. My point is that allowing the current president to change the constitution will just hurt this mineral agreement. Americans are willing to come to the DRC and do business, but American standards will not allow American businesses to enter a country lacking transparency, full of corruption, and lacking respect for the constitution and democracy.”

Mwamba also explained some of the dangers and challenges he has faced while campaigning for the presidency.

“Well, the current leadership in Congo is arresting almost all the opposition leaders,” he told TGP. “I am a victim of that. That’s why I’m abroad. If you look at most opposition leaders, they are outside the country because it’s very unsafe to be there. The leadership is not respecting any democratic standards, so we are forced to advocate from outside and make our voices heard from abroad. This leadership has failed the people of Congo.”

“Besides the insecurity for opposition contenders, the other challenge is the lack of infrastructure. The Congo is the size of Western Europe—a huge country. But imagine running an election campaign without an operating national airline. It’s only recently that Congo Airways leased two airplanes from Ethiopian Airlines. That’s totally crazy for a country of 120 million people. Making a presidential campaign is extremely challenging because logistics are unbearable. There are no roads. Everything is difficult. The leadership has the ability to open the roads for themselves, but for other candidates, it becomes impossible.”

Mwamba closed by offering what he believes both Congo and America need.

“What I am offering today through my policies and political agenda is 10 years of stability.”

“In every business, from feasibility studies to maturity, it takes time. That’s just the nature of business. You have to invest and watch it grow. This is what I’m offering to our international partners, and most importantly to our strategic partner, the United States of America: 10 years of growth, business stability, and strengthening the democracy we all talk about.”

He continued, “I don’t think anyone in the Western world would be able to live today without the technology we’re used to, but those things cannot be made unless the source is secure. The supply chain must be secure. Currently, it is not secure. For Americans, you are fully dependent on the Chinese. For the world, we are fully dependent on the day-to-day situation on the ground. We have had 30 years of civil unrest in Eastern Congo. At any given time, the supply chain can close or stop. This is not good for the development of the Western world, Africa, or the Congo.”

Mwamba, founder of the Our Congo Our Pride movement dedicated to constitutional democracy and responsible development, declared his 2028 candidacy in June, citing Congo’s “constitutional, security, humanitarian, and strategic breaking point.”

He has positioned himself as the bridge who understands both Congo and the United States.

The post Former NFL Star Running for Congo Presidency Warns Trump’s Minerals Deal is at Risk Due to Kinshasa’s Bad Governance and Chinese Dominance, But He Has a Plan to Save It (INTERVIEW) appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

The allegedly conservative Fox News Channel has decided to run cover for arguably the most dangerous communist politician in America following highly politically incorrect comments from a recent guest.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Jewish radio host Sid Rosenberg joined Fox News and Friends yesterday morning and went scorched earth on NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, holding nothing back.

Recently, Mamdani sauntered up to the mic like a bantam rooster to boast that his administration was actively considering whether he could direct police to detain Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he travels to New York in September for the United Nations General Assembly.

In an interview on the New York Times podcast The Interview, Mamdani said Netanyahu “belongs in the Hague,” calling him a war criminal charged by the International Criminal Court over the Gaza war.

With these facts in mind, Rosenberg went absolutely scorched earth on the communist mayor.

“People are very nice people, but trying to talk to Mayor Mamdani is like trying to talk to the IRGC, okay? This guy is a terrorist. That’s the bottom line. I’ll say it. You don’t want to say it. I’ll say it. He’s a terrorist. He’s a jihadist,” Rosenberg said.

“He hates the Jewish people. He hates America. He hates the Italian people. He hates the Irish people,” he continued. “He hates the German people. Unless you’re Muslim, Mayor Mamdani has no use for you.”

“He is a horrible person and maybe has perpetrated the worst American and Jewish hate in the history of this country. Those two people were stabbed the other day in the Upper East Side of New York City. That blood is on his hands. That blood is on your hands, Mayor Mamdani.”

While conservative viewers cheered on Rosenberg following his rant, Fox and Friends panicked and quickly distanced itself from his remarks.

Roughly 40 minutes later, Fox and Friends Weekend co-host Jenkins addressed Rosenberg calling Mamdani a terrorist. He not only fully condemned the statement, but fretted over the serious “meaning” of the word.

So weak. Did Mayor Mamdani’s office give Fox News a call?

JENKINS: We know there are heated feelings around this war last hour, while discussing the role anti-Israel is playing in the rise of antisemitism, one of our guests labeled New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a quote, terrorist.

Now that word carries an extremely serious meaning, it should not be used freely and its important we distinguish between strong political criticism and factual allegations.

In May, Deborah Murphy, an 82-year-old grandmother, was walking back to her car outside of a Publix in Panama City Beach, Florida, when she faced the consequences of illegal immigration, and it cost her her life.

As she walked on a crosswalk, an SUV allegedly driven by 26-year-old Venezuelan illegal Carlos Suarez-Contreras ran her down.

His front-seat passenger, Luis Sanabria, 29, is also said to be in the country illegally, according to arrest records.

According to an arrest affidavit submitted by the Florida Highway Patrol, after falling to the ground, the vehicle continued backing up, “running over Ms. Murphy.”

Per Fox News:

Both were determined to be in the country illegally, according to arrest records.

Both men told deputies they were born in Venezuela. The two were issued U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainers and booked into the Bay County Sheriff’s Office Jail, court records show.

Suarez-Contreras submitted a written plea of not guilty to the charge of driving with a canceled license and causing a death, a third-degree felony. His Georgia license had been canceled, according to arrest records.

*******

Before conducting an immigration investigation, the deputy on the scene noted that Suarez-Contreras gave “suspicious” answers to his questions.

Sanabria immediately left the scene on foot before law enforcement arrived, according to arrest records. He “only returned when I had Suarez-Contreras call him,” a deputy reported later.

Don’t expect Mrs. Murphy’s photo to be carried in memorial by leftists like those in Naperville, IL.

They only care about illegals.

Gatekeepers of the Law Must Be Non-Biased with No Conflicts of Interest.

Legal Insurrection shared a great piece on this topic this month.

The platform was discussing the use of mad science to push government funding, which is proven to be incorrect, and using it in court cases.

…a coalition of 24 state attorneys general, spearheaded by Montana’s Republican Attorney General Austin Knudsen, urged the Trump Administration to scrutinize every dollar of federal funding flowing to the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM).

The attorneys general cite what they describe as pervasive left-wing bias masquerading as “independent” scientific expertise.

Specifically, this letter focuses on the climate science section of the Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence (created to help both lawyers and judges understand and manage complex scientific and technical evidence in court cases). It asserts that “The Chapter” was created to sway judges in high-stakes climate lawsuits. The states’ AGs argue that its preparation was funded by groups that support climate-related litigation, written by scholars who reportedly lack strong expertise in climate science and have connections to advocacy groups involved in such cases, and was influenced by a lawyer representing climate plaintiffs.

Now President Donald Trump has called for a review of the “Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence”.

The National Academies receives more than $200M annually in federal funding.@POTUS has ordered a comprehensive review of NASEM’s conduct.

There are potential ramifications for the Supreme Court, as Justice Kagan wrote the foreword to the manual.

Dozens of American state and local governments, mostly in Democratic-led municipalities, have sued oil companies over their role in climate change, but those cases all remain in preliminary stages. None have gotten close to trial yet.

The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments over a legal question in one of the cases, brought by the city and county of Boulder, Colo., in its next term. The issue is whether federal law blocks the case from proceeding, and the decision could have major ramifications for the entire batch of litigation.

Conservative groups have argued that Justice Elena Kagan should recuse herself from the Boulder case because she wrote the foreword to the judges’ manual.

This isn’t the first time Kagan has had a conflict of interest.  In 2010, she ignored it.  According to The Gateway Pundit:

Justice Elana Kagan cheered the passage of Obamacare in the US House.
According to US law a justice must recuse himself from a case anytime he has “expressed an opinion concerning the merits of the particular case in controversy.” Clearly, Kagan expressed an opinion on Obamacare. Now there’s proof.
CNS News reported:

On Sunday, March 21, 2010, the day the House of Representatives passed President Barack Obama’s Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, then-Solicitor General Elena Kagan and famed Supreme Court litigator and Harvard Law Prof. Laurence Tribe, who was then serving in the Justice Department, had an email exchange in which they discussed the pending health-care vote, according to documents the Department of Justice released late Wednesday to the Media Research Center, CNSNews.com’s parent organization, and to Judicial Watch.

“I hear they have the votes, Larry!! Simply amazing,” Kagan said to Tribe in one of the emails.

The Justice Department released a new batch of emails on Wednesday evening as its latest response to Freedom of Information Act requests filed by CNSNews.com and Judicial Watch. Both organizations filed federal lawsuits against DOJ after the department did not initially respond to the requests. CNSNews.com originally filed its FOIA request on May 25, 2010–before Elena Kagan’s June 2010 Supreme Court confirmation hearings.

There should be stronger penalties for judges who don’t recuse themselves when they have conflicts of interest.
