According to Crosswalk, Intercession or intercessory prayer is the act of praying to God on behalf of others or asking a saint in heaven to pray on behalf of oneself or for others.

And, we were able to find more about sweet Simon.

According to Grok:

Simón is a rescued mixed-breed dog who lives at the Parroquia Santo Domingo Savio in Villavicencio, Colombia (Covisan neighborhood). He became widely known in late August 2026 after a video showed him joining an intercessory prayer.

Simón is not a random visitor. He and his mother Luna have lived with Father Carlos for more than six years and are affectionately called the parish’s “perritos monaguillos” (little altar-boy dogs).

Luna was rescued around late 2019 when the priest found abandoned puppies while visiting a sick person. She later had a litter of four; Father Carlos kept one puppy so mother and son could stay together and named him Simón.

The pair follow the priest through Masses, sit near the altar, and have been known to howl or bark along with the hymns (an earlier viral video showed them “singing” with the congregation). Simón has also been seen kneeling beside the priest or placing his paws in a prayer-like position. In one case their barking alerted people that an elderly parishioner had fainted.

The Gateway Pundit located Simon and his mother Luna singing with the congregation at church.

The revolution apparently ends when the landlord wakes up.

Portland’s self-proclaimed “president of Antifa” just ran into a force more powerful than a black-bloc mob: an angry landlord who wanted peace inside her own home.

Michael James Duntley, 59, better known in Portland protest circles as “Spider Mike,” “Big Spider Mike,” or “Wider Mike,” was captured on a profanity-laced livestream arguing with a woman who identified herself as his landlord after she confronted him over screaming, yelling, and banging things around in a garage.

The woman said Duntley was terrifying her.

Duntley’s excuse? He and his online buddies were simply “having a good time.”

The landlord told Duntley that he was drinking, wearing a wig, slamming things around, and frightening people inside the residence. When Duntley barked, “Call the cops!” she delivered the line of the night: “I already did.”

That did not inspire any sudden display of maturity.

Duntley instead shouted at her to “shut the f— up” and “get the f— out,” while one of his livestream companions mocked the woman for calling police.

Imagine that: the supposed “president of Antifa” needed a digital cheering section while berating a woman inside her own home.

Peak beta.

The landlord then reminded Duntley that she had given him a place to live after he had previously been kicked out.

“You did me a favor six f—ing years ago,” Duntley snapped before ordering her to go to sleep.

So much for “mutual aid.” So much for respecting women. So much for the brave revolutionary code.

Last week Antifa meatball in Portland Spider (Wider) Mike got dropped by a Patriot.

Here he is on live stream getting evicted out of some ladies garage.

You would think Antifa would handle this retard for making them look so very Beta.

I’ve watched this 20 times.…

Here’s the footage of police arriving at the residence:

Duntley is a regular at radical anti-ICE demonstrations outside the Portland ICE facility in the city’s South Waterfront neighborhood.

He has publicly described himself as an Antifa leader and even the “President of Antifa”—an entirely self-appointed title that apparently comes with no salary, no headquarters, and no housing.

His publicly reported history is considerably less amusing than his latest landlord meltdown.

Here’s a video of Duntley wearing a wig:

On January 31, Duntley was accused of knocking an elderly disabled veteran known as “Captain Jerry” from his mobility scooter during a confrontation outside the ICE facility.

Video circulated online appearing to show the veteran being knocked from his chair and striking the pavement. Despite the footage, Duntley was not prosecuted over that incident, according to The Post Millennial.

Then, on March 5, Duntley was filmed using his truck to rip a city stop sign from the ground near the ICE facility. The footage showed Duntley attaching a chain to the sign before pulling it away with the vehicle.

The Portland Police Bureau later confirmed Duntley’s arrest on charges of reckless endangering, second-degree criminal mischief, and second-degree disorderly conduct.

Duntley ultimately pleaded guilty to reckless endangering. The disorderly conduct and criminal mischief charges were dismissed.

In July, Multnomah County Circuit Court Judge Andrew Lavin sentenced him to one year of supervised probation and ordered him to remain at least 300 feet away from the Portland ICE building.

A former White House teleprompter operator who enjoyed advance access to President Donald Trump’s prepared speeches has been ordered to surrender more than $107,000 in trading profits and pay an additional $65,000 civil penalty.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission announced Friday that Gabriel Perez must pay a total of $172,539.02 after the agency found he exploited material, nonpublic information obtained through his federal government employment.

Perez was also slapped with a three-year trading ban and ordered to cease and desist from further violations of federal commodities laws.

According to the CFTC’s official announcement, Perez traded so-called “presidential mention market contracts” on the prediction platform Kalshi.

These contracts allowed users to bet “Yes” or “No” on whether President Trump would utter particular words or phrases during public speeches.

Perez had one enormous advantage over ordinary traders: He operated the president’s teleprompter and could review Trump’s prepared remarks before they were delivered.

The CFTC found that Perez used that privileged access “in breach of his duty of trust and confidence” to generate $107,539.02 in profits.

The agency’s detailed settlement order reveals that Perez typically received access to President Trump’s speeches approximately one hour before the president took the stage.

He then allegedly placed “Yes” wagers when he saw that a targeted word appeared in the prepared remarks and “No” wagers when the word was absent.

According to federal regulators, Perez traded in 14 separate Trump mention markets and made profitable trades on 39 of the 43 contracts he purchased.

The markets covered Trump speeches and appearances in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Iowa and Georgia, along with the president’s address to the World Economic Forum, the National Prayer Breakfast, the State of the Union and a Medal of Honor ceremony.

On one occasion, Perez even changed his trading position after observing that President Trump had deviated from the prepared text or skipped the portion containing a word Perez had bet would be mentioned.

In other words, Perez was allegedly attempting to adjust his wagers in real time as President Trump went off script.

Perez began working as Trump’s teleprompter operator during the 2016 presidential campaign. He later joined the first Trump administration in 2018 as a special assistant to the president and technical adviser.

As an executive branch employee, Perez was subject to federal ethics standards prohibiting government employees from using nonpublic information for private financial gain.

Perez settled the administrative case without admitting the CFTC’s findings or legal conclusions.

The $65,000 civil penalty represented what regulators described as a substantial discount because of Perez’s “exemplary cooperation” with the investigation. He must also return every dollar of the $107,539.02 in profits identified by the agency.

The CFTC thanked KalshiEX for assisting investigators.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Kalshi’s surveillance team flagged Perez’s unusual trading activity and referred the matter to federal regulators.

The Gateway Pundit reported in July that Perez had allegedly wagered on more than a dozen Trump speeches and was accused of backing out of certain bets while the president was still speaking.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed at the time that President Trump had personally been briefed on the allegations.

“He believes it’s deeply unfortunate and, frankly, a disgrace,” Leavitt said.

Perez was subsequently placed on unpaid administrative leave. He is no longer employed by the federal government, although officials have not publicly stated whether he resigned or was fired, according to ABC News.

The Trump White House did not attempt to protect Perez once the allegations surfaced. He was removed from his duties, cooperated with regulators and is now being forced to surrender his profits, pay a substantial penalty and remain out of federally regulated trading markets for three years.

DSA Candidate Rebecca Cooke won her primary this week in Wisconsin’s 3rd district, a plus-3 Republican district.  Rebecca will now run against retired Navy SEAL, Representative Derrick Van Orden.

In a recent political ad, DSA candidate Cooke ends with this… “We need real working people in Washington. And that’s why I approve of this message.”

Cooke ran as a working-class waitress. But, since she’s DSA (commie), you know there’s more to this story.

In fact, FOX News recently discovered that Rebecca Cooke delayed reporting her personal financial disclosure until two days after the Democrat primary.

Cooke requested a 90-day extension from the Clerk of the House on April 24, moving her disclosure deadline from May 15 to August 13, according to the official extension request.

Wisconsin’s primary was held on August 11.

Cooke ultimately defeated former Eau Claire City Council President Emily Berge with approximately 60 percent of the vote, setting up a November rematch with Republican Rep. Derrick Van Orden.

When the paperwork finally dropped, it showed Cooke took compensation from two left-leaning outfits sitting inside George Soros’ Open Society money web: the Pipeline Fund and Third Way, according to Fox News.

The document, covering January 1, 2025, through July 14, 2026, reveals that Cooke received more than $5,000 apiece from Third Way and the Pipeline Fund. The filing identifies her work with both organizations as “fellowships” but does not disclose the precise compensation from either group.

Third Way reportedly confirmed that Cooke received $30,000 for a project supposedly focused on “elevating the voices and concerns of working-class Americans.”

Third Way’s nonprofit research arm, the Third Way Institute, received two $500,000 grants from the Foundation to Promote Open Society, one in 2023 and another in 2024. The organization is part of the Open Society network founded and financed by billionaire Democrat megadonor George Soros.

This “working girl” is a radical Soros-funded hack!

House candidates who raise or spend more than $5,000 are supposed to file a personal financial disclosure so voters can see who is paying them before they vote.

FOX News reported:

DELAYED DISCLOSURE: A Wisconsin Democrat running for Congress as a working-class waitress was on the payroll of two left-leaning organizations tied to George Soros’ Open Society Foundation — and voters didn’t find out until two days after the primary.

Rebecca Cooke’s personal financial disclosure reveals she received compensation from the Pipeline Fund, which works to elect progressive candidates and received millions from Soros-linked networks, and from Third Way, a D.C.-based think tank whose research arm got $500,000 grants from Soros’ foundation in both 2023 and 2024.

Cooke requested an extension from the House clerk in April, keeping the records hidden through the Aug. 13 primary.

Rep. Derrick Van Orden says she was “willing to deceive her own party to protect the political persona she built and gain political power.”

US Representative Derrick Van Orden, a retired US Navy SEAL, had this to say about Soros-funded liar, Rebecca Cooke.

Rep. Orden: The Anointed One, @RebeccaforWI, has been flat out lying about who she is for YEARS.

She cosplays a hard scrabble waitress while raking in serious cash as a political consultant.

She will do anything for power, this should scare the hell out of everyone.

Remember in November

Isn’t it interesting that whenever you hear about a Navy SEAL you expect the person to be an honest man of integrity.

And, lately we are discovering that DSA politicians are more likely than not found out to be anti-American slimy frauds.

Jocelyn Benson was caught in a major scandal in Michigan in December.

As you may know, the current Secretary of State is running for governor to replace failed Democrat and buddy, Gretchen Whitmer.

Benson has a performance record that would make most normal individuals blush in shame. But not Jocelyn.

The Democrat Secretary of State has lost at least nine election-related lawsuits as she works to make elections less secure in the Wolverine state.

She is that bad.

Recently, information has resurfaced that Benson dropped NGO fraud charges against state AG Dana Nessel’s wife after she received a call from Nessel to do so!

Wall Street Apes tweeted out about this scandal this weekend.

Michigan House Oversight Committee Hearing

Democrat Attorney General Dana Nessel’s wife had a criminal referral for NGO fraud and breaking campaign donations finance laws

This evidence of the call was leaked to the Michigan House Oversight Committee late last year. Republicans hold the Michigan House majority with 58 representatives to 51 Democrat representatives.

Here are the facts on the incident:

Michigan House Oversight Committee hearings in December 2025 revealed that Attorney General Dana Nessel contacted Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson to have a criminal case involving her spouse, Alanna Maguire, re‑evaluated.

The case centered on Bipartisan Solutions, a nonprofit accused of violating Michigan’s Campaign Finance Act by raising about $700,000 to support the Fair & Equal Michigan ballot committee. Maguire served as a co‑chair of that committee, creating a clear conflict of interest.

Michigan law gives the Secretary of State sole investigative authority under the Campaign Finance Act. If unresolved after 90 days, the matter may be referred to the AG for possible criminal enforcement, but the AG cannot conduct its own investigation.

In April 2020, Nessel’s office established a “conflict wall” barring her from involvement in Fair & Equal Michigan matters, and she acknowledged in writing that it would be inappropriate to oversee the case.

According to internal emails obtained by the Oversight Committee, Nessel told her staff that the AG had reached out directly to Benson, who agreed to “take this matter back for further review”. The AG’s chief legal director responded that the office had no legal authority to “restart” the process.

Nessel refused to appear before the committee.

So, the Oversight Committee voted 10–6 to find Nessel in contempt for failing to appear and cooperate, calling her conduct “impeachable” and suggesting she stepped around ethical firewalls to benefit people close to her.

I’d say!

So why are Jocelyn Benson and Dana Nessel still in office in Michigan?

Will these two ever have to face justice for their allegedly criminal actions?

And, does Michigan REALLY want to elect the slipper Jocelyn Benson as governor?

War Room co-host Natalie Winters talked about China using AI to build models of US voters. She explained that it involved them looking at things like why they vote a certain way, understanding President Trump’s base, and even how they view China.

Winters explained that the AI models include mock US elections to determine potential outcomes.

“Walk me through your CCP story in this regards ma’am,” Steve Bannon asked.

“I think the AI issue really is the convergence right, of the decade. The CCP has spent deploying assets compromising people, setting up these information networks. You are seeing all those people be deployed right now,” Winters said.

“That is where the United States still retains most of our military edge over the Chinese Communist Party. Right, we are very advanced in comparison to where they are, so they want to basically square that gap, right, but AI is going to be the way that wars will be fought in the future, right, so that’s why you have got to look at this,” Winters explained.

“This is sort of an edge case application of it, though it is very mainstream in the Chinese academic and military research community, but this dovetails exactly with what President Trump was talking about in the Oval Office, what was it about a month ago, about the voter rolls, election influence, election intimidation,” Winters said.

“So, basically, you have two kinds of categories of the research that the PRC is conducting. One, is they are targeting and trying to understand the American voting bloc. The demographics, particularly trying to understand President Trump’s base, which I think is quite interesting, the kind of populist right as they call it, the MAGA audience. But also just more broadly what makes Americans tick, what makes them vote for certain candidates. How can you get turnout. What are their perspectives on China,” Winters commented.

“Then you have a more broader simulation tier which they are running, which is actually running mock US elections,” Winters said.

“If you wanted to influence American elections, this is how you would be doing it. Again, these are studies that are published, but not necessarily for public consumption,” Winters continued.

“They are basically testing which messages will move voters, predicting how people will react. They are mass producing essentially these bot farms,” Winters said.

“For example, during the 2024 race, researchers at Beijing University collected 1,000 Trump, Harris posts, and over 25,000 replies to them. So, they trained AI off of those models, the LLMs. They trained them to be able to respond to future posts from President Trump or Kamala Harris, or whoever, and be able to basically mock or simulate a reply from an American to most likely attack President Trump,” Winters explained.

“They say in their reporting that it can ‘help shape public opinion in the United States,’” Winters said.

“It’s about manipulating voters, manipulating their beliefs, their ability to turnout,” Winters said.
