REPORT: AZ Senate Candidate’s Drug Trafficking Father Arrested for Punching Landlady.

Representative Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), the 2024 Democratic Party nominee for U.S. Senate in Arizona, is facing increasing scrutiny over his Mexican father’s criminal behavior, both past and present. Jose Angel Marinelarena was arrested on March 3, 2024, for battery after assaulting his landlady in Chicago, Illinois. Additionally, Gallego admitted last week that his father is a “convicted drug dealer.”

According to an arrest report obtained by investigative journalist Laura Loomer, Jose Angel Marinelarena punched Edyta Jagas twice in the face this past Spring after the woman confronted him over unpaid rent. Additionally, the 69-year-old Marinelarena, a Mexican immigrant, has a prior conviction for drug trafficking with alleged ties to the violent Juarez cartel in Mexico. Gallego claims that he has no relationship with his father.

Gallego’s Republican opponent, Kari Lake, has repeatedly blasted the Democratic Congressman for his support for the Biden-Harris government’s open borders policies. In addition, Lake has raised Marinelarena’s ties to the Mexican drug cartels, suggesting Gallego and his father’s relationship might not be as distant as the Congressman suggests.

“We need to be calling out what [Gallego] is about. I want to confront the cartels… I want to end the cartels,” Lake said at a news conference last Saturday. “He will never confront the cartels; he is controlled by them. He has close family members who are drug traffickers.”

Polling in the Arizona Senate election shows a tight race. The latest survey has Gallego narrowly leading with 50 percent of the vote to Lake’s 46 percent. Meanwhile, President Donald J. Trump has consistently led Vice President Kamala Harris in the state—raising concerns among Democrats that Trump’s coattails could be enough to secure a win for Lake as well.

Pro-Hamas Protestors Vandalize Congressman’s Office for a Second Time.

Pro-Hamas protestors have vandalized the district office of a New York Congressman for the second time in a matter of weeks. The Manhattan office of Representative Adriano Espaillat (D-NY) had its windows and facade covered in red paint, and the glass in its front door broken. “Free Gaza” graffiti was spray painted on the sidewalk in front of the Democrat Congressman’s office.

Rep. Espaillat has been an outspoken advocate in Congress for the return of the hostages taken from Israel by Hamas during the Islamic terror group’s barbaric October 7, 2023 attacks against the Jewish state. As anti-Israel and pro-Hamas protests have broken out across New York City over the past several nights, the Congressman’s office has become one of several focal points for the pro-Hamas activists as its windows feature posters of the remaining hostages being held by the terrorist group.

OCTOBER 7.

Yesterday, the New York Democrat joined other state and national lawmakers for a memorial service in Central Park, marking the one-year anniversary of the October 7 Hamas attacks. Several lawmakers who attended the event have subsequently been targeted on social media by accounts like AIPAC Tracker, which claims: “Adriano Espaillat has blood on his hands.”

The National Pulse reported in April that Espaillat, a vocal advocate for the Biden-Harris government’s open border policies, first came to the United States from the Dominican Republic as an illegal alien with his parents, overstaying tourist visas and living in the country illegally for around a year before securing a green card.

Following President Donald J. Trump’s visit to a Harlem bodega, Espaillat attacked the Republican presidential nominee on X (formerly Twitter), claiming Trump had no business in his district. However, photos from the event show residents flocking to the corner store to see the Republican candidate.

This Biden-Harris Media Ally Got His Start in Politics Through P. Diddy.

Ben Meiselas, co-founder of the far-left MeidasTouch Network tied to the Biden-Harris White House, owes his political career to disgraced hip-hop mogul Sean ‘P. Diddy’ Combs. Meiselas’s father, celebrity attorney Kenny Meiselas, worked for Combs and arranged for the Democrat celebrity to give his son an internship at his record label, Bad Boy Records.

Combs spearheaded MTV’s ‘Vote or Die’ voter registration campaign in 2004. Meiselas’s internship revolved around this effort, which saw him attend that year’s Democratic National Convention. Meiselas would later parlay this experience with Combs into an internship with then-Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY).

The accusations against Combs, also known as Puff Daddy, indicate a pattern of abuse involving multiple victims over many years. A prominent celebrity party host who counted A-listers such as LeBron James among his guests, Combs is alleged to have presided over so-called “freak-offs” in which drugged women were enticed or coerced into having sex with male prostitutes, among other transgressions. At least 120 people are seeking to bring civil claims against Combs. Twenty-five were minors at the time of their alleged abuse, with the youngest being a nine-year-old boy.

In addition to kickstarting Ben Meiselas’s political career, Combs played a personal role in the Meiselas family, introducing Kenny Meiselas to his current wife, Beth Katz Meiselas, a publicist for Jennifer Lopez.

Ben Meiselas’s MeidasTouch Network, which he runs alongside brothers Brett and Jordy, is described by the Biden-Harris White House as its “front lines” against Donald Trump, popularizing false anti-Trump stories such as the “bloodbath” hoax.

In addition to its links to Combs, MeidasTouch has been funded by Lincoln Project co-founder and “predator” John Weaver and Reid Hoffman, a former guest of Jeffrey Epstein‘s Little St. James, a.k.a. “Pedophile Island.”

Diddy Accuser Hotline Gets Over 15,000 Calls.

Sean “Diddy” Combs faces intensified legal challenges as 120 new accusers have emerged with allegations of sexual misconduct. Attorney Tony Buzbee, representing the claimants, reported a surge in outreach, with a hotline set up for the case receiving thousands of calls. During an interview with Law & Crime Network, Buzbee stated that following an initial announcement, over 3,200 calls were logged in just ten days. A subsequent press conference triggered an influx of 12,000 additional calls.

This latest development comes amid existing charges of racketeering, conspiracy, and sex trafficking against the music mogul. Among the new accusations is a particularly distressing claim involving a nine-year-old boy. The minor was allegedly lured to New York City under the pretense of a record deal audition and sexually assaulted by Combs and associates.

Buzbee, known for his involvement in high-profile cases, previously represented several women accusing NFL player Deshaun Watson of misconduct, resulting in an 11-game suspension for Watson and a $5 million fine. He additionally led Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton‘s defense team during impeachment proceedings late last year.

Combs’ legal troubles began in mid-September with his arrest, following a year of mounting accusations. Amidst these legal proceedings, his properties have been searched by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and video evidence of alleged violence has surfaced. Despite the mounting allegations, Combs maintains his innocence, entering a not-guilty plea.

The case’s complexity deepens with reports of a pornographic tape involving a high-profile celebrity who was allegedly filmed without consent. According to attorney Ariel Mitchell-Kidd, this video is being circulated within Hollywood, with efforts reportedly underway to negotiate its purchase by the unwitting celebrity.

Massive COVID Fund Fraud Occurred Kamala’s VP Pick, Gov. Tim Walz.

Dozens of Somali immigrants are involved in the largest COVID-19 fraud case in the United States, which saw the fraudsters net over $250 million in Governor Tim Walz’s Minnesota. A total of 47 Somali immigrants in Minneapolis, Minnesota, stand accused of embezzling $250 million in federal aid in the North Star State, run by Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris’s running mate. He has previously praised the Somali community in Minnesota, arguing they contribute to the state culturally and demographically.

The Feeding Our Future organization misappropriated funds intended for children and families affected by the pandemic, diverting them towards personal luxuries, real estate, and other non-essential purchases. State auditors released 16 separate reports highlighting a pattern of fraud under Governor Walz’s administration. Criticism has emerged over the Minnesota Department of Education’s oversight failures, with audits indicating officials ignored warning signs and vulnerabilities facilitating the fraud.

Governor Walz claimed that the fraud had been detected early and credited his administration for initiating corrective measures and prosecutions. However, Republican House Minority Leader Lisa Demuth questioned why no one from Walz’s team had faced any consequences despite numerous negative audit findings.

“When he is not holding any commissioners responsible, then yes, Gov. Walz is responsible for the fraud that has been ongoing in the state of Minnesota,” she argues.

A state audit pointed to a “culture of unaccountability” within agencies led by Walz’s appointees. Additionally, a judge recently admonished Walz for making misleading statements regarding the state’s handling of the scandal, potentially inflaming the ongoing legal proceedings related to Feeding Our Future.

The Governor and his officials have also been accused of “cooking the books” regarding teachers’ pensions, and hiding the extent of fees paid to Wall Street fund managers.

Tren de Aragua Gangsters Arrested in Violent $75K Jewelry Heist.

Four individuals alleged to be members of the Venezuelan street gang Tren de Aragua have been arrested following a robbery and a lengthy standoff with law enforcement in Texas. The incident unfolded on September 21 when the gang reportedly assaulted a woman in her garage in Northwest Dallas, making off with $75,000 in jewelry after forcing her into her home.

The suspects, identified as Yean Brayhan Torralba, 20; Alberto Martinez Silva, 34; Manuel Hernandez-Hernandez, 28; and Wilmer Colmenares Gonzalez, 27, were apprehended after police utilized surveillance footage and fingerprint evidence from the crime scene. While three were quickly detained, Gonzalez managed to barricade himself in a residence, leading to an eight-hour standoff with the police before his eventual capture.

During the robbery, the assailants allegedly tied the victim and threatened extreme violence if she did not cooperate, according to police records.

The Tren de Aragua gang is believed to have crossed into the United States at scale among migrants seeking asylum since 2022, mostly at the behest of the Biden-Harris government.

Authorities indicate that the gang has extended its activities to multiple regions and engages in serious illegal enterprises such as human trafficking. Members of the gang have infiltrated shelters for migrants in New York City, using them as bases for drugs and weapons trafficking and robbery operations.

New ‘Migrant Crime’ Table Shows Which Nationalities Offend Most.

Analysis has revealed the highest imprisonment rate amongst all migrant backgrounds in Britain is among Albanians, reaching 232.33 per 10,000, or approximately two percent of their population in the UK. The incarceration rate among British nationals is a comparatively low 14.27 per 100,000, while the incarceration rate among Americans in Britain is just 7.27 per 100,000.

The lowest offenders include Germans, Italians, Indians, Greeks, and Americans.

The analysis, based on Ministry of Justice (MOJ) figures checked against official census data, likely underestimates the Albanian population due to uncounted illegal migrants, including more than 12,000 who crossed to Britain in small boats in 2022. Following Albanians, Kosovans—most of whom are ethnically Albanian—have the second-highest incarceration rate, at 150.23 per 10,000.

Vietnamese, Algerians, Jamaicans, Eritreans, Iraqis, and Somalis are also high on the list, with all of these nationalities having over one percent of their resident populations in prison.

Afghans and Syrians–allowed into Britain in substantial numbers following the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan and years of war in Syria–are also significantly more likely to be imprisoned than British nationals, with incarceration rates of 67.85 per 100,000 and 32.82 per 100,000, respectively. However, Ukrainians have a lower imprisonment rate than Britons, with 12.75 per 100,000 people imprisoned. The Russian incarceration rate is similar, at 12.26 per 100,000.

COVER-UP.

Commenting on the analysis, Conservative lawmaker Neil O’Brien observed: “[T]he migration debate is hampered by a lack of data which the Government could easily publish but chooses not to.”

For instance, “The Home Office”—roughly equivalent to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)—”knows the immigration status of prisoners and whether they were here legally or illegally, but it does not publish this. It knows about the offending history of overseas nationals in our prisons and whether they are committing multiple offenses, but it does not publish this.”

O’Brien argues it is “shameful that the Government refuses to publish so much of the information which it holds about this subject. It should be available to the public so we can have an informed debate.”

Hundreds of Terror-Linked Migrants Attempting U.S. Entry.

The Biden-Harris Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has revealed hundreds of “watchlisted” migrants with links to terrorism are being encountered at the U.S. border. More terror-linked migrants were encountered at the U.S.-Canada border—283— than at the U.S.-Mexico border—139—in the fiscal year to July 2024.

“Over the next year, we expect some individuals with terrorism ties and some criminal actors will continue their efforts to exploit migration flows and the complex border security environment to enter the United States,” the DHS states in its Homeland Threat Assessment for 2025.

“Individuals with potential terrorism connections continue to attempt to enter the Homeland at both the U.S.-Mexico and U.S.-Canada borders and also through the immigration system,” the report adds.

While northern border crossings remain lower than southern border crossings, the former has seen a significant increase in encounters. The National Pulse reported on Wednesday that a Border Patrol sector covering New York, Vermont, and New Hampshire saw as many migrant detentions in fiscal year 2024 as in the last 17 years combined.

The relatively low security along the northern frontier may explain why it is attracting a disproportionate number of migrants with ties to terrorism.

CARTELS.

The Homeland Threat Assessment also predicts that Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs) will “continue to exploit the complex security environment at the U.S. border to smuggle drugs and migrants to and across our border” in the coming year.

“Mexico-based TCOs, to include cartels and human smuggling organizations, will almost certainly continue to smuggle irregular migrants across the U.S.-Mexico border,” but warns Honduran drug trafficking cells have also begun distributing Sinaloa Cartel-sourced fentanyl, in particular, since January 2022.

“Prior to 2022, these traffickers primarily distributed heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine,” the report notes, suggesting Honduran criminals are creating a new market for Sinaloa Cartel fentanyl under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

Vice President Harris has previously argued in favor of defunding U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), meaning such issues are unlikely to recede if she wins the presidential race in November.

Tren de Aragua Sex Attacker Arrested After Tim Walz’s Sanctuary City Policies Prevented His Deportation.

A jail in Democrat Governor Tim Walz’s Minnesota released a Venezuelan gang member from jail after just three days last November. Alejandro Coronel-Zarate, an alleged member of the notorious Tren de Aragua gang, was arrested again this month in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, after choking and beating a local woman in Madison last year.

Minnesota’s Hennepin County Sheriff’s Department had arrested Coronel-Zarate in November but, due to sanctuary city policies, refused to inform Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents of the arrest, likely preventing his deportation and releasing him before a possible arrest by Wisconsin authorities.

Coronel-Zarate entered the U.S. illegally around September 2023, crossing the border in the area of El Paso, Texas. In early November, Madison police received the report from the female victim, and Coronel-Zarate was arrested shortly after the report in Minneapolis over an alleged car theft.

While Minneapolis police did contact Wisconsin authorities, Coronel-Zarate had been released after 36 hours and fled before they could arrest him in relation to the alleged assault charges. It was not until September 2024 that police in Wisconsin were able to arrest him after he resurfaced in Prairie du Chien in late August.

TIM WALZ’S ANTI-BORDER RECORD.

Governor Tim Walz—the 2024 Democratic Party’s vice presidential nominee—has previously compared ICE enforcement actions to “terrorism.”

During a 2017 campaign event, he stated, “The week after I was elected in 2006… I drove out to Worthington as the congressman-elect, went into the basement of the Catholic Church where Father Brixius was, who asked me to look around at all the children crying, and he said, ‘This is what terrorism looks like in America today.’”

Walz was referring to an ICE action that took part in 2006 against illegals accused of stealing or buying Social Security numbers to obtain work at meat packing plants.

Vice President Kamala Harris, the democrat nominee for president and Walz’s running mate has compared ICE agents to the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) in the past as well. Speaking at a Senate hearing in 2018, Harris questioned Ronald Vitiello—the then-acting director of ICE— and pressed him on the history of the KKK and its targeting people based on their race, asking if he saw any “parallels” to the group and ICE.

Criminal Probe Targets Biden-Harris Govt Employees Who Accessed Health Records of J.D. Vance.

A criminal probe has been launched after several employees at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs reportedly accessed the medical records of Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) without authorization. The employees also accessed records belonging to Governor Tim Walz (D-MN). Both men are military veterans.

At least six employees are said to have accessed the records, allegedly violating federal health privacy laws. After the incident was uncovered, VA investigators notified the Republican and Democratic presidential campaigns.

VA Press Secretary Terrence Hayes stated, “We take the privacy of the Veterans we serve very seriously and have strict policies in place to protect their records. Any attempt by VA personnel to improperly access Veteran records is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.”

It is currently unknown what motivated the unauthorized access and whether or not the documents may have been leaked to people outside of the VA. An internal memo released at the end of August reportedly warned VA employees not to view veterans’ records even if they were curious, noting that records should only be viewed in relation to official authorities and assigned duties.

WIDER ISSUES.

The case echoes a similar leak at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that saw a former IRS contractor named Charles Littlejohn release President Donald J. Trump’s confidential tax records. Littlejohn later bragged about how easy it was to access the records, as despite not being a direct IRS employee, he still had access to confidential American tax information.

While both vice presidential candidates are veterans, Walz is accused of misrepresenting his military service. Some accuse him of dodging the Iraq War by taking early retirement while his fellow soldiers were deployed overseas. He has publicly claimed to have carried weapons “in war” but never deployed to a combat zone, prompting allegations of stolen valor.

Veterans who served in Walz’s National Guard unit accuse him of embellishing his rank, among other transgressions.
