Santiago/Getty ImagesImmigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Sacko in 2007. ICE attempted to deport him, but his Mauritanian passport had expired, and the agency could not obtain one for him. Unable to return Sacko to his home country, he was released from ICE custody and ordered to check in with the agency.“Sacko voted in person for each of these elections, except for the 2020 primary election, in which he voted by mail. On each occasion, Sacko falsely represented that he was a U.S. citizen,” an FBI special agent wrote in the criminal complaint.

We have proof. Illegal aliens ARE registering to vote in Pennsylvania.”“We are getting the data for the entire Commonwealth of Pennsylvania voter rolls before the Department of State does a massive purge,” Presler wrote in a subsequent post. “Now, we know what to look for!”Sacko’s attorney did not respond to a request for comment.Like Blaze News?

Nate Sheets is not only a fifth-generation Texan, entrepreneur, and founder of Nature Nate’s Honey, but he’s now the Texas agriculture commissioner — and he has big plans for Texas.Sheets ran on supporting local Texas farmers, protecting local agriculture, and improving the quality of the food we eat.“I’m running to be Texas agriculture commissioner because we’re losing agriculture like never before and we have a pandemic of health crisis related to the food that we’re eating in America,” Sheets told BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey’s father, Ron Simmons, on “Relatable.”“I’ve been endorsed by Governor Greg Abbott. I want to make agriculture great again. And we're going to get out there and help farmers and ranchers. We lost 68 farms this week, and we don’t have to continue to do that,” he explained.And Simmons believes Sheets has it in him to do just that, noting that on each jar of honey, Sheets used to have his cellphone number, which he would answer in the middle of the night.Now, Sheets keeps a Bible verse on each jar of honey.“He followed in the footsteps of those businessmen, like the Greens with Hobby Lobby, that not only … talk the talk, but walk the walk in their business world to help build the kingdom," Simmons explains.“He’s committed to trying to help Texas live a healthier life,” he says, “and the Department of Agriculture in Texas is a big part of doing that.”Want more from Allie Beth Stuckey?To enjoy more of Allie’s upbeat and in-depth coverage of culture, news, and theology from a Christian, conservative perspective, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

A Republican congressman trying to unravel the unbelievable spending under the Biden administration was rightfully angered by one example exposed during congressional testimony with a State Dept. official on Thursday. Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy Sarah Rogers tried to explain one program that paid for making maps more "queer," as she testified in front of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.'Nonbinary and trans francophone linguistic attitudes and ideologies towards inclusive French in Montreal, Canada.'"Can you tell me, what is 'queering the map'?" asked Republican Rep. Brian Mast of Florida."So, I think we were trying to make the maps more gay," Rogers replied."Literally? How do you make a map more gay?" he responded. "Or gay at all?""Since the age of cartography, we've had pretty good maps, but maybe they weren't gay enough," she said."So, I know also, I took critical theory in college," Rogers added. "I think sometimes people use 'queer' as a verb. I do understand that the maps that we were trying to make gay were, I think, of Czechia and Slovakia. So maybe those countries asked for it? I doubt it, but I don't know." "We do have real things to work on in Congress," the congressman claimed, "like what's going on with the imminent threat of Iran, and it is embarrassing that we have to talk about the fact that things like this were funded: nonbinary and trans francophone linguistic attitudes and ideologies towards inclusive French in Montreal, Canada." Video of the exchange from Chairman Mast's official account was widely circulated on social media."My time is expired. I'm gonna give you a list of these, and any of these you can provide me the receipt for: the Facebook link to where they wanted to take photos of how they were doing a DEIA flash mob in Kyrgyzstan," Mast continued. "Whatever documentation they have of all these things," he concluded, "we would love to see that and would absolutely love to know the individuals specifically that were busy writing these grants because they have no business receiving another paycheck from the people of the United States of America."

Bill Huizenga of Michigan detailed some of the crazier spending under Biden during his speech at the hearing."The Biden State Department spent $25,000 on transgender opera in Colombia, $150,000 to 'build the capacity of intersex leaders' in India, $20,000 for a drag show in Ecuador, $72,000 for queering the map of Slovakia, whatever that means, and the list goes on."Rogers responded to the video from her social media account. "Czechia and Slovakia are great countries. I’m sorry that my predecessors 'queered' your maps! This is why future public diplomacy grants will be streamlined, accountable — and channeled toward real American interests, like free speech and sports diplomacy," she wrote. A Newsweek fact-check found the claim that the Biden administration spent taxpayer money on a drag show in Ecuador to be true. Like Blaze News?

As Operations Epic Fury and Roaring Lion under President Donald Trump close in on the first full week attacking Iran, the House has passed a resolution reaffirming Iran's pariah status against the United States. However, over 50 Democrats have refused to go along. In a Thursday vote on a resolution reaffirming that "Iran continues to be the largest state sponsor of terrorism," 53 Democrats voted against the resolution, while Republicans voted unanimously in favor of it. 'It’s disappointing — but not shocking — that 53 of my Democrat colleagues could not vote in support of a resolution calling out Iran’s terrorism.'Sponsored by Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.), the nonbinding resolution passed 372-53, with two Democrats voting present and five members not voting, including the embattled Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas). Of course, all members of the "Squad" of progressive Democrats were among the ranks of those who voted against the resolution: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.).RELATED: House passes the buck on Mace's push for sexual misconduct disclosure amid Tony Gonzales scandal Rep. Lateefah Simon (D-Calif.)Photo by Andrew Harnik/Getty ImagesThe two-page resolution stated several reasons Iran is inimical to the United States, including sponsoring enemies who have killed U.S. soldiers in the Middle East.The reasons included, for example, that "the Islamic Republic of Iran remains the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism and provides substantial financial and military support to groups including Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis."The resolution also made note of the Iranian nuclear enrichment program: "Whereas, according to the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafeal Grossi, Iran has amassed a large stockpile of enriched uranium and continues to block access to undeclared sites in Iran affiliated with their 'big, ambitious nuclear weapons program.'"Rep. Lateefah Simon (D-Calif.) claimed the resolution "contains inaccuracies and is designed to justify the President's actions in Iran."On the other hand, North Dakota Rep. Julie Fedorchak, a Republican, said in a statement: "Standing with our allies and confronting state-sponsored terrorism is essential to protecting Americans and advancing stability around the world. This resolution sends a strong message that we will not ignore or excuse the regime’s extremist actions.” "It’s disappointing — but not shocking — that 53 of my Democrat colleagues could not vote in support of a resolution calling out Iran’s terrorism," Fedorchak subsequently wrote on X.
