The dim-witted, holiday-hating communist who had emerged as one of new ‘stars’ of the Democratic Party has lost her primary in a stunning upset to a largely unknown establishment opponent following a late drop and chaos in Wisconsin’s largest city.

As CNN reported, Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley narrowly defeated 37-year-old state assemblywoman Francesca Hong, who almost everyone assumed was going face Wisconsin GOP nominee Tom Tiffany in the general election.

The latest results show Crowley holding roughly a three thousand vote lead, less than half a percentage of the vote.

Crowley was backed by the entire Democratic establishment, including outgoing Wisconsin governor Tony Evers, who feared a hong nomination would mean a disastrous defeat in November.

Just hours before the race was called, the city of Milwaukee announced that 5 of the 9 USBs were ‘missing’ election results and results would be delayed.

This affected roughly 15,000 absentee ballots.

Officials blamed ‘human error’ for the fiasco.

Officials claimed that Milwaukee workers accidentally put audit data instead of actual vote for the absentee ballots.

Of course, this happened right in Crowley’s backyard as he and Hong were neck and neck in the results.

Local conservatives immediately smelled a rat.

The fix is in. The city of Milwaukee is holding off releasing its’ votes.There are only 1000 votes left in Dane County. Milwaukee still not reported. Milwaukee won’t be reported until there’s nothing left.

Isn’t it weird that Milwaukee is always last? If I were a conspiracy…

Then, at roughly 2:20 A.M, the results were posted. And not surprisingly, Crowley benefited.

This also occurred shortly after Hong’s home base of Madison had basically exhausted its votes and Hong was closing the gap with Milwaukee ballots.

The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft previously reported that Hong was struggling mightily as the results came in last night.

The race had seemed a total lock for Hong as multiple polls showed her with a large double digit lead, some by more than 20 points.

But as we have seen this election cycle and many prior, polls do no mean squat. Only the final result after the counting of votes does.

This brings an end to wild race saw two of the more prominent Democratic rivals’ campaigns collapse.

As CNN notes, Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez dropped her bid after being hit with a major campaign finance scandal, and former Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes ended his bid on July 30.

Then, the Wisconsin Demcratic establishment came back and begged Crowley, who dropped out in early July, to re-enter the race.

He quickly acceded to their demands, and now reaps the reward.

President Trump on Tuesday evening confirmed he secretly switched planes last month as he departed Ankara, Turkey.

Trump stopped to talk to reporters after he returned to DC from attending the Patriot Games final in Ohio.

A reporter asked President Trump about a leak to the Washington Post that revealed he secretly switched planes as he departed Turkey for the UK and used Air Force One as a ‘decoy.’

“It’s only up to the Secret Service. I just follow what they’d like to do. So, I go by the Secret Service and the military. They wanted me to go on a different flight, a different plane,” Trump told reporters.

“I guess there was a threat out there. I didn’t really ask too much about it,” Trump said.

“I think actually the plane that I flew on was at greater risk. I think it was at greater risk because that would be the plane I think that they would be more likely to go for,” Trump said.

WATCH:

President Trump took a secret flight from Turkey to the UK on an alternate military aircraft on July 8 after he was quietly moved from Air Force One due to an Iranian threat.

According to a leak to The Washington Post, Air Force One was used as a ‘decoy’ while President Trump flew on a smaller C-2A plane. Pool reporters thought they were flying with President Trump from Turkey to the UK.

EXCLUSIVE: An Iranian assassination threat against President Trump prompted an extraordinary operation last month in which he flew secretly from Turkey on an alternate military aircraft while the White House said he was aboard Air Force One, The Washington Post has learned.

However, President Trump was quietly moved from Air Force One to the smaller plane by jumping into an airport catering truck.

How did this happen? We’re told Trump boarded the legacy Air Force One in Turkey.

But moments later, he secretly moved from that jet to a smaller C-32A that was parked nearby. He moved from one jet to the next aboard an airport catering truck, out of sight from the media.

The famously insane Communist Francesca Hong is struggling in her race for governor of Wisconsin.

The vocal leftist who hates whitey and Thanksgiving is currently trailing David Crowley in the governor’s race.

Hong led the field going into today’s primary.

Crowley is no winner, himself. The current leader in the governor’s race not the brightest bulb in the big tent.

For the record, Hong voted to defend m*lesters.

The liberal state of New Mexico has passed a law that requires disclaimers to be put on AI-generated content, including satire. The Christian satire site the ‘Babylon Bee’ is suing the state over this on grounds of free speech.

Coincidentally, the Babylon Bee recently produced a satire video lampooning the state, which you can watch below.

It’s great that the Bee is standing up for free speech and challenging the law.

FOX News reports:

A New Mexico law requiring disclaimers on certain AI-generated political content, including parody and satire, is being challenged in court by Christian satire news site The Babylon Bee.

HB 182, passed in 2024, amended New Mexico’s Campaign Reporting Act to add disclosure requirements for political advertisements containing what the law defines as “materially deceptive media.” The law mandates that relevant images, video or audio manipulated or created through artificial intelligence must display a prominent AI disclaimer identifying the content as created or manipulated by artificial intelligence.

The Bee, which frequently pokes fun at political candidates and issues, argues the state law violates fundamental free speech rights and due process.

On Tuesday, the humor site filed a lawsuit against state officials, with the help of the legal organization Alliance Defending Freedom (“ADF”), arguing that the law chills their speech and destroys the intent of comedy.

“This disclaimer alters the content of the satire and parody The Bee wants to express by alerting the viewer to the satirical or parodical nature of the communication and thereby depriving the expression of its rhetorical force,” the complaint states. “Put simply, HB 182 spoils the joke as it begins, each and every time.” The website says it is not willing to publish content with the mandated label because it would alter its message.

Seth Dillon, CEO of The Babylon Bee, told Fox News Digital that the law’s disclosure requirement imposes a “deeper problem” of compelled speech.

“New Mexico is stuffing words into our mouths, forcing us to say things we wouldn’t say otherwise,” he explained.

Here is the satire video about New Mexico that was recently published by the Bee. Watch:

Imagine how much less funny that would be if it opened with a disclaimer saying that it’s AI-generated satire.

It would completely ruin the joke, and it sounds like that is the point of this law.

Rachel Maddow of MSNOW recently brought on her network colleague Lawrence O’Donnell and the two of them enjoyed a laugh talking about reports on the latest threat to Trump’s life, as he was leaving Turkey in July.

These people are just evil. There’s no other way to say it.

They really seemed to enjoy the details of how Trump was safely smuggled onto a plane and flown out of the country.

Transcript via NewsBusters:

RACHEL MADDOW: Now, I am very pleased to say it’s time for The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell. Which is more of a pleasure for me to say than usual, because The New York Times has just posted a headline on the front page of the New York Times website, which reads, “Trump hid in a catering container to sneak out of Turkey.”

And honestly, that news has just broken; Trump hiding in a catering cart. And the thing I want most in the world, upon hearing that news, is to hear Lawrence O’Donnell explain it to me. And god bless you, Lawrence. Please tell me that you will.

LAWRENCE O’DONNELL: It is issue number one.

[Laughter and smiles]

In this hour of coverage, we’re going to be relying on The Washington Post, that broke the story a few hours, a couple of hours before the New York Times. And it is it’s one of it’s one of the many examples of how Donald Trump has lost control. He’s – He didn’t just lose control of which version of Air Force One he got to use. He lost complete control in this story.

Watch the video below:

“I am very pleased.”
MS NOW hosts laugh and smile about an Iranian assassination attempt against President Trump in Turkey, and mock him for how he “lost control” of the situation:

Another long-serving Democrat incumbent got booted from office.

14-term Connecticut Democrat incumbent Rep. John Larson was unseated by former Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin on Tuesday evening.

John Larson, 78, served in Congress for 28 years. He was first elected to the House in 1998.

Bronin was endorsed by Pete Buttigieg.

While Luke Bronin does not identify as a Democratic Socialist, he said he would certainly welcome their takeover of the Democrat party.

Bronin, 47, attacked John Larson as an establishment Democrat.

“Congressman Larson has been in office for 28 years,” Bronin said on NBC this week as he argued it’s time for a change.

WATCH:

Voters have made clear they’re sick of establishment politicians who think seniority is the be-all and end-all of public service.

Bronin pounced on John Larson over his age and health issues.

Last February, Larson froze up mid-sentence during a speech on the House floor.

He never fully recovered from the medical episode. Bronin repeatedly attacked Larson over his age and health issues.
