Internet users expressed outrage after a video circulated showing a Republican man in New Mexico being denied a ballot for wearing a MAGA hat.

In the video, the man was accompanied by a woman who was filming the interaction at the polling place. She told one of the employees who denied him a ballot that the decision was illegal. …

Another voter who was present intervened and said in disbelief that the man was being denied a ballot because he was a Republican.

“They are refusing to give him a ballot because he’s Republican,” the woman then repeated. “That’s against the law,” the voter said. The voter then argued that the MAGA hat did not represent any specific candidate and referred to it as a political slogan or party symbol. “What the hell is going on in this country?” the voter asked.

That’s what a lot of people will be wondering if today’s radicalized Democrats manage to take power and render future elections moot.

Meanwhile in New York during early voting you will NOT be given a ballot if you are wearing a MAGA hat.
I believe the woman sitting is Diane Ravitch educational historian.

Via Daily Caller:

The Gay And Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) recommends that AI companies censor homophobic speech without removing gay expression. It also takes issue with chatbots relaying information GLAAD considers homophobic.

Anything even vaguely critical of the immoral LGBT lifestyle and the supremely unhealthy acts of depravity that define it is regarded as “homophobic.”

It doesn’t take much to offend LGBTers. GLAAD fumes that OpenAI has “tended to portray LGBTQ people as white, young, and with purple hair.” Pattern recognition is verboten among moonbats.

Not being homophobic is not enough. GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis proclaims that “Neutrality is no longer an option.”

Perversity is to be placed before medical science. GLAAD warns that…

“…an AI model that learns a rigid association between ‘woman’ and biological markers like ‘uterus’ or ‘estrogen’ could provide irrelevant or even harmful advice to a transgender woman.”

AI must be programmed to be insane; otherwise, it might commit transphobia by associating female biology with females.

Also, chatbots must be forbidden from engaging in “conversion therapy” — i.e., helping people to overcome unnatural and unwelcome sexual attractions. Barks GLAAD:

“Phrases such as: ‘unwanted same-sex attraction’ or ‘deliverance from homosexuality’ are increasingly used to obscure conversion ‘therapy’s’ harms and to evade prohibitions of such practices.”

Offering constructive counseling on this topic is actually illegal for the minors who most need it in many states dominated by Democrats. In Canada, you might get 5 years in prison for it.

GLAAD demands AI be proactive about imposing the LGBT agenda:

“AI content moderation tools must be continually updated and fine-tuned to catch fast-changing slurs, evolving dog whistles, and coordinated mass-reporting tactics targeting marginalized creators—without accidentally shadowbanning, suppressing, or censoring legitimate LGBTQ expression and identity terms,” GLAAD said.

The groomers at GLAAD are well known for attempts to corrupt children (see e.g. here, here, and here). They want AI to assist them in this regard.

Abraham Alvarez, identified in federal documents as the alleged “ringleader” of a plot to carry out a mass casualty event at the UFC White House event on June 14, is an illegal immigrant from Mexico who overstayed his visa, according to Homeland Security information first obtained by Fox News Digital.

His presence here is part of Obama’s baleful legacy:

Alvarez came to the United States as a child and was granted by the Obama administration in 2014 deportation relief through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program after he failed to leave the country when his B2 visa expired in 2001.

Moonbats are starting to catch up to terrorists from other parts of the world regarding the scale of violence they want to inflict on our country.

Five co-conspirators were arrested so far this month for allegedly planning with others to use drones equipped with explosives to force an evacuation from the White House event on Sunday and, in the ensuing chaos, a team of snipers was allegedly set to open fire on the crowds. …

After plans for the initial attack on Sunday, federal authorities claim the plotters planned a “second wave” where they would storm the White House gate.

That would leave Antifa and the freaks who set fire to Teslas in the dust.

From City Journal:

The scheme operates through the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), which regulates privately owned utility companies. California utilities spent more than $43 billion in 2024 on contractors—fuel suppliers, surveyors, engineers, and others—whose work helps deliver water, gas, electricity, and internet service to California’s 39 million residents.

Back in the 1980s, CPUC established a Supplier Diversity Program to discriminate against white men. Like all things progressive, it progressed:

In September 2014, then-Governor Jerry Brown signed legislation requiring CPUC to recognize “LGBT-owned businesses” as eligible for supplier-diversity benefits. Five years later, Governor Gavin Newsom expanded the program further, “encouraging” other companies involved in the energy sector to award contracts to gay-owned firms.

CPUC now has quotas for how much business must go to firms owned by homosexuals. Here’s how bureaucrats ensure they deserve this privileged status:

Supplier Clearinghouse, a group that certifies firms for the CPUC program, features a list of qualifications linked on its website. Applicants can secure certification by providing a letter from an “LGBT organization” attesting to their sexual preferences; proof that a newspaper identified them as “LGBT”; or three letters from “personal contacts” written “on company letterhead” attesting to their homosexual orientation. Corporate officials who “falsely represent” their business as gay face up to a year in county jail.

Supplier Clearinghouse also accepts gay-certification letters from the National LGBTQ+ & Allied Chamber of Commerce. The chamber has its own list of accepted documents, including human resources complaints or police records claiming LGBT discrimination.

Just to be sure, maybe they should require business owners to submit homemade porno movies.

In California, preferential public contracting is technically illegal. In 1996, voters approved Proposition 209, which banned the state from granting preferential treatment based on race, sex, or ethnicity in public employment, education, and contracting. More than two decades later, in 2020, they rejected an effort to repeal the ban.

Sure, and in 2008, California voters passed Proposition 8, banning homosexual marriage. Where moonbattery prevails, voters only get what they want when they want what they are supposed to.

The programme in question is Pickle Storm, a CBBC (Children’s BBC) series following a young ‘alien’ who flees persecution on her home planet and settles in a British town. … Reports note that pro-migrant charity Heard held meetings with the show’s producers at Blackdog Television, including at least one BBC children’s programming representative on a Zoom call.

Heard later claimed in its own materials that producers used the input to inform the second series, which aired in 2025. The charity described the engagement as part of a strategy to “tap into children’s media and directly impact framing of migration in children’s content.”

They should spell in “Herd,” considering that its purpose to is to herd the impressionable off to the stockyards.

Heard presents itself as seeking to “shift public attitudes, norms and policy preferences.”

To accomplish this, it targets impressionable children who do not understand the threat posed to their own kind.

Heard has received money from sinister ultraleft financier George Soros as well as from the British taxpayers it aspires to displace via Arts Council England.

The board voted 7-0 after meeting in executive session to consider the firing of Jennifer Honka.

Students had been complaining to other teachers that Honka staged skits in which students were made to kiss each other — on a same sex basis. Kids who refused to participate were given a score of zero.

Although this is consistent with the aggressive promotion of homosexuality to children in public schools, educrats are not yet ready to take the next logical step from indoctrination to coercion. The public might push back.

Honka had shared with her students that she is a lesbian and active in promoting LGBTism. Her defense is what you would expect:

Honka told investigators she believed she was the subject of discrimination based on her sexual orientation. But, according to the independent review, Honka has filed 18 grievances against the school district as a representative of the teachers’ union. According to the school board, none of them included a discrimination claim.

Discrimination against LGBTers is a preposterous concept in the context of schools these days.

State administrative law judge Keith J. Kirchubel observed that “for all of her asserted interest in a diverse and accepting environment at school, it was (Honka) who attributed the outcry by the students to their strong Christian backgrounds. That statement had its own discriminatory ring.”

Public schools have gone out of their way to promote LGBTism. This encourages unwholesome behavior. It may even draw people to the teaching profession for the wrong reasons.

Thousands of supporters of Luigi Mangione, the man charged in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, have contributed more than $1.5 million to his legal defense…

The supporter-created donation website Stats4Lulu reported on Monday that Mangione’s legal fund had collected $1,530,753 from over 40,000 donors.

Mangione has also received more than 6,000 letters of support.

Murdering Thompson was a heroic deed from the liberal point of view due to presumed political motive. He was killed not for any personal reason but because of his job providing healthcare insurance on a nonsocialist basis. This has earned Mangione implicit support from as prominent a Democrat as US Senator and former presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).

If they shoot healthcare executives in the street now, imagine what they might do to you once they have consolidated control of the government.

If you want to know why there will be more Karmelo Anthonys — angry black youth all too willing to kill whites — look no further than diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training offered by the Illinois government. It portrays white people and police as mosquitoes inflicting “microaggression” bites that maddeningly accumulate over time. Don’t worry, though, there is a remedy.

The training also shows a black woman using a flamethrower to incinerate the whites and cops mosquitoes.

From Outkick Sports:

Late last week, the San Francisco Giants hosted their “Pride Night,” with the team wearing hats with a rainbow-colored Giants logo.

The point is to force players to publicly advocate homosexuality.

Several Giants pitchers, in a statement of their faith, wrote Bible verse designations on their hats.

Landen Roupp followed the lead of Dodger great Clayton Kershaw with a reference to Genesis 9:12-16:

And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:

I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.

That’s what the rainbow means. For it to be appropriated by militant degenerates in the name of sexual perversion is sheer blasphemy.

A couple other Giants also stood tall. JT Brubaker wrote Genesis 9:13 on his hat. Sam Hentges reportedly refused to wear an LGBT hat at all.

The liberals in charge are not happy:

“The writing on the cap violates our rules, and consistent with normal practice, we have warned the players about future violations,” said Pat Courtney, MLB’s chief communications officer, in a statement.

At least, it violates their rules when they don’t like the message.

Christians have for millennia suffered far worse persecution for their faith than anything MLB moonbats can inflict. This persecution continues in benighted places like Africa and communist China. If a Nigerian has the guts to show up for church in light of recent massacres, no ballplayer should be afraid to write a Bible verse on his hat.

Concern is mounting that taxpayers could be left holding the bag if the Obama Presidential Center runs into financial trouble, as the foundation behind it has yet to establish a promised $470 million safety net to guard against a public bailout.

The scrutiny comes as a Fox News Digital investigation found multiple contractors and subcontractors claiming losses ranging from hundreds of thousands of dollars to millions on the project, with some alleging they remain locked in payment disputes and face financial ruin just days before the center’s grand opening.

There was supposed to be a safety net so that Obama would not resume his old habit of bleeding taxpayers…

Under its agreement with the city, the Obama Foundation pledged to create the fund, known as an endowment, as part of its 99-year deal to take control of the publicly owned 19.3-acre section of Jackson Park for a one-time payment of just $10.

…but leftists are never done bleeding taxpayers. According to the most recent findings, only $1 million is in the fund. In the context of Democrats throwing money down ratholes, that is a rounding error.

Concerns about the center’s financial state have raged for years, especially since construction delays and costs have ballooned from an original estimate of roughly $330 million to at least $850 million based on 2021 figures. An updated final projected cost has not been made public.

There is a simple solution. Put Democrats back in the White House, federalize the project, and then print whatever amount of money will finance this hideous monument to a pernicious moonbat’s ego.

As fitting as the bloated cost, incompetent management, and likelihood of shafting taxpayers is the scheduled day the Obama Center will open to the public. Juneteenth was established as a federal holiday to reward race riots for which Obama sowed the seeds with his racially divisive community activist tactics.

The post Obama Presidential Center Debacle Could Hammer Taxpayers appeared first on Moonbattery.

The New York Post reports:

Taxpayers are on the hook for $5.2 million to pay the swollen salaries of the information ministers in socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s new City Hall propaganda bureau – a staggering 175% more than first thought, The Post can reveal.

It’s barely been open for business for a month, but the Office of Mass Engagement has already seen its headcount balloon 186% from 14 to 40, with $5,123,756 earmarked for salaries, according to the city’s recently released 2027 executive budget.

Nothing grows as relentlessly as a government program.

Mamdani is planning to hire an additional 26 comrades by next year, at an average salary of $125,000, based on details in the budget. …

Workers in the Office of Mass Engagement come on top of the mayor’s own communications team, which is expected to be larger than that of any other mayor in Big Apple history, sources said.

At least chocolate condoms don’t cost as much as moonbat propagandists. Via Frontpage Magazine:

Gonorrhea rates in New York City have more than doubled in a decade and syphilis is ‘surging’ statewide. Mamdani’s Department of Health has responded to this crisis by rushing a free supply of lubricant and chocolate flavored condoms.

As with all things Democrat, Cultural Marxism comes into play:

Councilwoman Pierina Sanchez, a Mamdani ally, explained that the free chocolate flavored condoms were necessary because “inequities persist among women, low-income households, and Black and Latino New Yorkers.”

Sorry white male New Yorkers who work instead of vote for a living. No chocolate condoms for you.

Gonorrhea and syphilis are not the only diseases that unsurprisingly are on the rise in a city run by moonbats:

After a Legionnaire’s disease outbreak in city buildings in Harlem killed 5 people last year, several residents in Manhattan public housing came down with the disease this year. Residents in public housing were told to stop taking showers and fill up bathtubs very slowly as they try to figure out what’s causing it.

Health officials hadn’t gotten around to issuing this warning until the second person came down with the disease, but that’s a step up from last year when the source of the outbreak turned out to be the site of the New York City Public Health Laboratory: a ‘state of the art’ $454 million glass and steel tower whose bureaucrats would be “tasked with protecting and promoting the health of all New Yorkers and keeping the city at the forefront of disease response and investigation” which instead infected around 100 people with a disease.

Half a $billion for yet another building full of largely useless overpaid bureaucrats. Good thing money is free when it belongs to someone else.
