A Democratic politician vying for one of the U.S. Senate seats for Michigan is facing intense criticism after her deleted tweets disparaging Middle America and pining for California were unearthed.

Mallory McMorrow responded positively to another social media user who called Americans outside California “morons” and also posted evidence that she fudged the truth about her residency.

‘These are normal tweets by a normal person.’

McMorrow deleted thousands of posts on the X platform, according to a CNN report.

“I had a dream that the US amicably broke off into The Ring (coasts+Can+Mex+parts Mich/Tex) and Middle America,” she wrote after President Donald Trump won the 2016 election.

“Oh and The Ring nominated Obama as Prime Minister and everyone was given $1000 and 6 months to pick a side,” she added.

The campaign brushed off the concern that McMorrow claimed to have permanently moved to Michigan in 2014 while her posts indicated that she continued to vote in California.

“These are normal tweets by a normal person,” said Hannah Lindow, the communications director for McMorrow.

In another post from 2017, McMorrow responded to a user who ridiculed the “morons” outside California, which would include the voters in Michigan.

“California should have its own diplomats” to “make sure we don’t get nuked because of morons from the other side of the country,” the post from another user read.

“There are days like these that make me miss California even more,” Morrow responded.

McMorrow is currently a member of the Michigan state Senate. She gained national attention when a speech she gave in the Michigan Senate went viral in April 2022.

She is one of three Democrats competing for the seat left vacant by Gary Peters, and the damaging posts from her past will likely help one of her opponents seize the nomination.

A pregnancy center is accused of facilitating the birth of children to Chinese nationals in order to take advantage of current birthright citizenship laws, according to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

Paxton said the De’Ai Postpartum Care Center was violating Texas law by “unlawfully facilitating the invasion of Chinese nationals into Texas for the sole purpose of birthing children.”

‘Birthright citizenship is a scam that threatens national security, and I will do everything in my power to stop unlawful “birth tourism” schemes like this one.’

The proprietors of the center bragged on Chinese social media platforms and websites that they had overseen the births of “1,000+ American-born babies,” according to Paxton.

The investigation found that the center was operating in at least four locations that hosted mulitple families at each site and faciliated up to 20 births per day. The sites were identified in Sugar Land, Houston, Richmond, and Rosenberg.

The company also allegedly coached its Chinese clients on how to evade immigration laws when seeking visas and citizenship for the children and their families.

“America is for Americans, not foreigners trying to cheat the system to claim citizenship,” reads a statement from Paxton.

“The Center’s scheme not only facilitated an invasion of Texas, but it also involved shielding and facilitating violations of immigration law,” he added. “Birthright citizenship is a scam that threatens national security, and I will do everything in my power to stop unlawful ‘birth tourism’ schemes like this one.”

Paxton accused the business operators of “deceptive trade practices, tampering with governmental records, unlawful harboring and concealment, and other violations of Texas law.”

The issue of birthright citizenship is currently being considered by the U.S. Supreme Court after the Trump administration ordered government offices to no longer recognize the citizenship rights of children born to foreigners on U.S. soil.

Critics have accused the administration of being motivated by racism and xenophobia, but opponents of birthright citizenship argue that years of precedence is based on a faulty understanding of the 13th Amendment.

“There is a tourism industry surrounding this whole birthright citizenship. Women come here before they give birth so that they can just give birth here, and then their babies become United States citizens,” said Sara Gonzales of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered” on BlazeTV. “That’s nuts, and to [Trump’s] point, nobody else does this.”

Paxton is locked in a tight race with incumbent Sen. John Cornyn for the Republican nomination for one of the U.S. Senate seats from Texas.

President Donald Trump has threatened to choose between the two candidates in order to quell the competition and lessen the chances of the seat falling into Democratic control and tipping the balance of the Senate.

The Department of Justice revealed a federal indictment against three individuals accused of assaulting Turning Point USA reporter Savanah Hernandez during an anti-ICE protest in Minnesota.

Video footage of the April 11 incident appeared to show Paige Ostroushko, a Minnesota resident, blowing a whistle just inches from Hernandez’s ear before pushing her to the ground.

‘This incident isn’t just about me, but about every single journalist who has been attacked while doing their job.’

After Hernandez returned to her feet, Deyanna Ostroushko, Paige’s mother, confronted the reporter, claiming that Hernandez had instigated the physical altercation.

“Did you f**king hit my daughter?” Deyanna yelled in Hernandez’s face, video showed.

Hernandez pushed Deyanna away and seemed to walk off to distance herself from the mob of anti-ICE protesters, according to the video.

“Stop touching me!” Hernandez shouted.

Chris Ostroushko, Paige’s father, stepped into the chaos, approaching Hernandez and pushing her, causing her to fall onto the pavement, video showed.

Paige then appeared to go after Hernandez again, and the two got into a brief scuffle.

On Wednesday, a four-count federal indictment was unsealed by the U.S. District Court of Minnesota, charging each member of the Ostroushko family. The indictment did not name the victim.

Chris and Paige Ostroushko “did by force or by threat of force willfully injure, intimidate, and interfere with, and attempt to injure, intimidate, and interfere with the rights of another,” the indictment read.

All three family members were accused of aiding and abetting the assault of the victim.

Hernandez sought medical treatment following the altercation and was told that she suffered a concussion and multiple sprains.

“I’m incredibly grateful to the FBI and DOJ for their swift response to the attack I experienced,” Hernandez told Blaze News. “This incident isn’t just about me, but about every single journalist who has been attacked while doing their job. Today’s indictment sets an extremely important precedent for every American and is a strong message to the radical left wing that they are not allowed to violently attack people with impunity any more.”

“Today, Christopher, Deyanna, and Paige Ostrouchko [sic] were indicted by a grand jury for allegedly assaulting journalist and Turning Point USA contributor Savannah [sic] Hernandez, while she was lawfully reporting on anti-ICE protests outside a federal building in St. Paul,” stated acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.

“Hernandez was allegedly surrounded, physically assaulted, and shoved to the ground — simply because she was identified by the defendants as a conservative journalist,” Blanche continued. “That is NOT ‘peaceful protest.’ These deplorable actions as charged in the indictment will not be tolerated in America, and this Department of Justice will always punish unhinged acts of political violence.”

In a recent interview with One America News Network, Chris Ostroushko, a 6′, 51-year-old man who weighs 240 lbs., according to online court records, seemed shocked by the backlash he and his family have received.

“It’s a little overwhelming and makes me second-guess even living in this country, to be honest with you, with all that’s going on,” Ostroushko told the news outlet.

He has described Hernandez as the aggressor and claimed that he was protecting his wife and daughter.

The Ostroushko family claimed that after the video went viral, they were doxxed and lost their jobs.

Paige Ostroushko started a GoFundMe requesting $12,000, claiming that she witnessed a “deeply triggering” verbal exchange with “an individual present” who was interviewing attendees about ICE. This “led to emotional distress and a confrontation between the individual and me,” she said, claiming self-defense. She also stated that she suffered “head, neck and knee injuries.” As of Wednesday afternoon, she had raised $900.

An additional GoFundMe page was started to support the family, requesting $8,000. It has so far raised $310.

An Illinois woman has admitted to paying for disgusting animal torture in order to distribute videos to members of “deranged” online chat groups, according to a press release from Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Amanda Leigh Fourez pleaded guilty in federal court on April 15 to charges related to distributing “animal crush videos” and receiving thousands of dollars in exchange.

‘What kind of sick person would pay someone to make a video of sexualized animal torture?’

Fourez was a member of several online groups dedicated to “making, distributing, and discussing violent and sexual videos.”

The videos involved mutilating the genitals of adult and baby monkeys, as well as their being burned alive and other “atrocities.” She reportedly acknowledged making at least 11 payments for others to create the videos and then distributing the videos on at least 10 occasions.

“Fourez admitted to her role in making these horrific videos and posting them online,” reads a statement from ICE Director Todd Lyons.

“What kind of sick person would pay someone to make a video of sexualized animal torture?” he continued. “ICE will continue investigating these sadistic online groups and do everything in our power to stop them.”

ICE noted that another member of the depraved online groups pleaded guilty in February. Joseph Garrett Buckland of Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania, admitted to creating and distributing the videos of mutilating monkeys.

Buckland is scheduled for sentencing on Oct. 29 and faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison for the charge of conspiracy to create and/or distribute animal crush videos.

Fourez is scheduled for sentencing on Aug. 27 and faces five years in prison and a fine of up to $500,000. She is a U.S. citizen and 33 years old.

Just months after taking their relationship public, rapper Megan Thee Stallion has officially ended her romance with Dallas Mavericks player Klay Thompson — and she isn’t being shy about her reasoning.

“I’ve made the decision to end my relationship with Klay,” Megan said in a statement. “Trust, fidelity, and respect are nonnegotiable for me in a relationship, and when those values are compromised, there’s no real path forward. I’m taking this time to prioritize myself and move ahead with peace and clarity.”

While many fans have sided with Megan, BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock believes there’s more to why their relationship didn’t work out.

“Don’t date a woman who calls herself a stallion, an uncastrated male horse. Megan the horse, that’s not what you want, gentlemen. She’s telling on herself,” Whitlock says, explaining that Thompson “made the mistake here.”

“One of these two people did not falsely advertise. She sees herself as a man,” he explains.

“Klay Thompson, you’re a man. You don’t want to date a woman who sees herself as a man,” he adds.

While Shemeka Michelle agrees with Whitlock, she also points out the fact that it is “ridiculous” that their relationship is such a big story in itself.

“I just think it’s so ridiculous,” she tells Whitlock. “I’ve seen multiple posts about women getting their own man back because they’re standing up for Megan Thee Stallion, and … it shows exactly where we are, or at least where the culture is.”

However, Delano Squires believes there’s an even bigger issue at play here.

“This particular split continues a decades-long cycle of sowing discord between black men and black women. And part of the reason that concerns me is because you can’t build strong families. You can’t build a culture of marriage and strong families in any community where the default is discord between men and women,” Squires tells Whitlock.

“So that to me is the bigger thing, and I think both of these individuals represent two archetypes of what is wrong in the relationship marketplace,” he adds.
