CRINGE: Democrats' censure song and TikTok flops show messaging is DOA



After Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) was booted from President Trump’s congressional address last week, the Democrats thought it was a great idea to sing “We Shall Overcome” during Green’s censure vote.

Spoiler alert: It wasn’t a great idea.

“Didn’t seem like they knew the words,” Blaze Media D.C. correspondent Christopher Bedford tells Jill Savage on “Blaze News Tonight.” “They’re cosplaying. I mean, this is not a civil rights moment. You’re a member of Congress. This is Al Green getting in trouble for being a bad guy.”


That hasn’t been the only Democrat messaging fail this week, after the Democrats also posted a video to TikTok accompanied by the direction to “Choose your fighter.” The video shows several congresswomen, including Jasmine Crockett and AOC, bouncing up and down like a character in a video game waiting to be chosen.

“It’s just a funny look. Poor manners,” Bedford comments. “It didn’t work for the last White House. The last White House, basically their strategy was, ‘I know that the grocery bills are rising, but we just put out a super gay TikTok video and it didn’t actually seem to move the vote.’”

“I just don’t think when you’re a working-class party initially that is struggling with working-class voters and connecting with normalcy, well, this is not quite the path home,” he continues. “They’ve been downgraded to TikTok.”

Liberal TikTokker calls for Elon Musk's assassination, brags about not paying taxes for years. Top DC prosecutor fires back.



A liberal TikTok user called for the assassination of Elon Musk while also bragging about not paying taxes for years. Now, D.C.'s top prosecutor hinted that he was launching an investigation into the social media commentator.

The popular Libs of TikTok account on the X social media platform shared a video from a woman advocating for the assassination of Musk.

'Death threat and admission of multiple counts of tax fraud.'

"I promised myself I would avoid the news,” says the woman, who goes by the username "sarahcroberts" on the since-deleted TikTok account. "But obviously, I haven’t. Here’s my one thought — I mean, I have many thoughts."

“Elon Musk: Like, we need to X him,” she declares while pausing to make a throat-slitting gesture. “And by X, I mean formally known as assassination.”

"And it’s a warning ... the FBI is going to f**king show up," she then seemingly states. "... You don’t have enough people to even investigate me at this point."

The woman admits to allegedly not paying taxes in years. "I haven’t filed my taxes in like eight years," she confesses with a smirk. "And yet no one’s come for me."

The liberal TikTokker then doubles down on her violent threats. "So I’m going to f**king say it — let’s assassinate some motherf**kers," she proclaims at the end of the video.

Libs of TikTok posted the video to the account's more than 4 million followers, which caught the eye of Musk.

"Death threat and admission of multiple counts of tax fraud," Musk wrote in the replies to the Libs of TikTok post and tagged Ed Martin, the interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia.

Martin responded on X by writing, "Duly noted. Thanks for letting us know. We’ll put you in the system. Talk soon, ma’am."

Martin ended his post with the hashtag "No one is above the law."

Last week, Martin reportedly wrote an internal memo to federal prosecutors in Washington, D.C., to prioritize investigations into threats against public officials.

The memo highlighted a purported threat against Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh by Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), according to CBS News.

"One of the most abhorrent examples was when Senator Charles Schumer led a rally to attack U.S. Supreme Court justices," Martin wrote in the memo.

Schumer declared at a pro-abortion rally in March 2020, "I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh: You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions."

Martin also noted a potential threat against Musk that was uttered by Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) earlier this month.

As Blaze News previously reported, Garcia made a call to take up "actual weapons" in an "actual fight for democracy."

"I think [Musk is] also harming the American public in an enormous way," Garcia asserted. "And what I think is really important and what the American public want is for us to bring actual weapons to this bar fight. This is an actual fight for democracy, for the future of this country."

Musk has drawn the ire of liberals after leading efforts to cut financial waste from the federal government through the Department of Government Efficiency.

According to the official DOGE website, the agency's efforts have saved an estimated $65 billion through a "combination of fraud detection/deletion, contract/lease cancellations, contract/lease renegotiations, asset sales, grant cancellations, workforce reductions, programmatic changes, and regulatory savings."

Trump’s new sovereign wealth fund could buy TikTok, vaccine makers



President Donald Trump signed an executive order that has the potential to allow the government to buy TikTok.

The new executive action, signed on February 3, directed the creation of a sovereign wealth fund, with the stated goal of profiting from government contracts with certain companies.

A sovereign wealth fund, as defined by Investopedia, is a state-owned investment fund composed of money generated by the government, often derived from a country's surplus reserves.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick would be appointed to spearhead the effort for the fund, aimed at acquiring TikTok and possibly shares in other larger companies, such as vaccine manufacturers.

“If we are going to buy two billion COVID vaccines, maybe we should have some warrants and some equity in these companies,” Lutnick said.

Bessent, speaking alongside Trump from the Oval Office on Monday, said the fund was an issue of "great strategic importance."

"We have tremendous potential," Trump told reporters, according to Yahoo.

He later posted on Truth Social, "Great interest in TikTok! Would be wonderful for China, and all concerned."

CNN contributor Brad Todd called the move a "terrible idea" and suggested that the app should not be connected to the government.

"The only way ... to bring TikTok back is if it is completely disconnected to the Chinese government. It doesn't need to be connected to ours either. I can't think of a worse idea than the sovereign wealth fund," Todd said, per RawStory.

Trump had recently halted a ban on TikTok for 75 days after the company, owned by China's ByteDance, was previously ordered to either divest from the communist nation or sell the product to an American investor.

The app went dark for its approximately 170 million American users on January 19 until Trump enforced the delay by way of executive order on January 20.

Meanwhile, 14 states were already in litigation against the app over claims that it addicts young children and "continually misrepresents its platform as 'safe' [and] 'appropriate for children and teenagers.'"

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) had previously likened Trump to a fascist over his dealings with the app. The congresswoman said that TikTok was essentially being used as a "push notification system for all 170 million American users to promote Donald Trump."

Tiananmen Squares: Dozens of Chinese Incels Are Furious at Tom Cotton for Writing a Book That's 'Worse Than Mein Kampf'

Sen. Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) has once again managed to enrage some very annoying people by writing and publishing a collection of words. Almost five years after liberal journalists whined about feeling "unsafe" because the New York Times published Cotton's op-ed about restoring law and order in American cities, the Republican senator has just released a new book about China that has thoroughly aggravated a handful of Chinese communists and other joyless incels, according to a Washington Free Beacon analysis of book reviews on the Barnes & Noble website.

Human smugglers use TikTok to promote illegal border crossings from Canada to US: Report



Human smugglers are reportedly using social media platforms to brazenly advertise their illegal border crossing services from Canada to the United States.

The New York Post reported on Saturday that it discovered several TikTok accounts created by smugglers in Canada to promote their illicit trafficking businesses. While some accounts have been quickly reported and removed, new ones continue to appear on the platform, the outlet noted.

'The service was outstanding.'

The report found that smugglers charge foreign nationals up to $5,000 for illegally crossing into the U.S. One social media post obtained by the outlet claimed to offer the "cheapest" price at $4,000.

The Post contacted a smuggler who stated that the illegal crossing service would cost $4,500 per person to travel from Montreal to New York.

"When you ready to go, send me your ID," the smuggler told the news outlet. He also advertised a "group walk" to help five foreign nationals illegally enter the U.S.

The advertisements primarily target Indian nationals, the news outlet stated.

A TikTok post from one account read, "CAD to USA."

"Montreal to New York," it continued. "Same day entry."

The post, which featured a photograph of four men and an image of an American flag, promised that the illegal journey would be "100 percent safe," boasting a "safe route" into the U.S.

It also stated that foreign nationals could pay after reaching their destination.

The Post reported that another social media post similarly read, "Payment after reach."

"100% safe," it added.

The smuggler services reportedly depart from Montreal; Brampton, roughly 30 miles outside of Toronto; and Surrey, approximately 22 miles from Vancouver.

Foreign nationals can be dropped off in upstate New York or Washington, according to the posts.

One smuggler detailed the journey as a two-hour car ride followed by a 25-minute walk through the forest before reaching New York.

The social media accounts included testimonials from "satisfied customers" who described the journey as "easy" and "comfortable," the Post reported.

"The service was outstanding, we have come through very easily," one testimonial reportedly read.

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-N.Y.) told the Post, "The Department of Justice should investigate how these apps are being utilized for nefarious activity and get cooperation from the companies that operate them."

Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-Mont.) told Fox News Digital, "The danger is they're gonna go where we're not."

"The northern border has had hundreds of crossings from people on the terrorist watch list," he added. "[There's] a lot of border and a lot of distance between officers."

TikTok’s sinister sibling WeChat is the CCP’s real social media weapon



For years, the U.S. has debated whether TikTok poses a serious threat to privacy, democracy, and national security. This scrutiny is well founded — its vulnerabilities and potential for misuse are undeniable. But while TikTok dominates the conversation, a far more insidious platform has quietly evaded the spotlight.

With at least 4 million users in the U.S., WeChat's user base might pale in comparison to TikTok’s, but its potential for damage far outweighs its modest footprint. This is not just another social media app; it’s the backbone of China’s surveillance state.

The CCP’s go-to app

Owned by Tencent, a tech giant with undeniable ties to the Chinese Communist Party — 23% of its employees are reportedly members — WeChat functions as an extension of Beijing’s ideological apparatus. For Chinese citizens, both within and beyond the country’s borders, WeChat is not merely a tool for communication. It’s a digital leash. The app monitors messages, scans locations, and censors content deemed “politically sensitive” by Beijing.

Through China’s national security laws, Tencent is obligated to hand over any data that the CCP demands. These laws apply to servers in Hong Kong, which, contrary to its pre-1997 promises, has become another arm of Beijing’s authoritarian machine. For Chinese diaspora members in the U.S., WeChat is a lifeline to family and friends back home (more on this in a minute). But this connection comes with a hidden risk.

Straying from the party line can result in an account ban, cutting users off from essential communication, payments, and services. The message is clear: Stay in line, or face isolation.

Spyware: The digital plague

For the broader U.S. population, this surveillance tool may feel distant, but its implications are anything but. The app’s reach doesn’t stop with its users — it’s a Trojan horse capable of compromising any device it touches, spreading spyware like a virus to those who never even downloaded it.

Researchers have raised alarms about WeChat’s capacity to act as a conduit for spyware, enabling the CCP to gain access to sensitive information from infected devices. Imagine a corporate executive receiving a seemingly innocuous message from a colleague who uses WeChat. That single touchpoint could be enough to compromise the executive’s device, granting bad actors access to corporate emails, proprietary data, or even trade secrets.

The danger multiplies exponentially when applied to government officials, contractors, or anyone handling sensitive national security information. A phone compromised by WeChat spyware could become an unwitting surveillance device, allowing hostile actors to listen in on conversations, track movements, or even activate cameras remotely. The potential damage is not hypothetical — cybersecurity experts have documented similar tactics deployed by China in other cases.

Now consider the scale. With millions of WeChat users in the U.S., many of whom interact with non-users daily, the app becomes a digital contagion. Each compromised device acts as a vector, spreading the infection farther, infiltrating networks, and bypassing traditional security measures.The question isn’t whether these vulnerabilities will be exploited — it’s whether they already have. After all, the CCP has already stolen the personal data of tens of millions of Americans.

Censorship and propaganda

Beyond its technical threats, WeChat serves as a tool for censorship and propaganda, extending the CCP’s ideological reach onto American soil. By monitoring and controlling the content its users share, WeChat ensures that dissenting voices are silenced while amplifying pro-CCP narratives. For instance, posts critical of Beijing’s policies — whether related to human rights abuses in Xinjiang or military aggression in the South China Sea — are swiftly removed or shadow-banned.

Moreover, during U.S. elections, WeChat has been used as a tool for spreading CCP propaganda, such as disinformation campaigns targeting Chinese-speaking voters in states like California and Texas. False narratives, including claims that certain candidates supported anti-China policies or would harm the Chinese community, were disseminated to sway opinions and suppress opposition. In other words, China has weaponized this app to sow discord and manipulate democratic processes in America.

The US response: A necessary ban

With all eyes on TikTok, WeChat, with its proven track record of facilitating censorship, spreading spyware, and enforcing ideological conformity, has flown largely under the radar. This double standard is not just shortsighted — it’s downright dangerous.

The United States has the capacity to address both threats simultaneously. Banning WeChat is not merely a matter of convenience; it’s a necessity for national security. Arguments against such action often center on the app’s aforementioned importance to the Chinese diaspora, who rely on it to stay connected with family and friends back home. But this reliance cannot outweigh the risks posed by its continued operation. It’s 2025, for crying out loud. There are numerous alternative communication platforms that offer secure, private channels for connection without the baggage of CCP surveillance.

Allowing WeChat to remain operational in the U.S. undermines both security and sovereignty. It gives the CCP a foothold in the digital lives of millions of Americans, creating vulnerabilities that can be exploited at any moment. If the U.S. is serious about countering China’s growing influence, banning WeChat must be part of the strategy.

DeepSeek: Distorting reality while invading your privacy



If you’ve downloaded China’s new artificial intelligence app, DeepSeek, onto your phone, the time to delete it was yesterday.

“We can’t just look at whether this is going to be good for companies long-term; we have to look at ‘What does it mean for America?’” Stu Burguiere of “Stu Does America” explains, concerned.

“Ask DeepSeek about Tiananmen Square, and it will start telling you about Tiananmen Square, until it remembers, ‘Holy crap, actually, in reality, I’m not supposed to tell you that,’ and it just says, ‘Ah, this is beyond my scope,’” he continues. “It’s not beyond its scope. It’s able to answer that question.”

“The way the model is built, you have one kind of AI agent that gets your answer, starts giving you the basic answer, and then it asks the experts behind the scenes, the expert part of the model, in that particular field, to give it clarification, and when it does, that expert part of the model, which is basically the Chinese Communist Party, says ‘You can’t talk about that,’” he adds.


But that’s not even the worst of it.

DeepSeek reportedly collects your IP, your keystroke patterns, and your device information and stores it in China, where the data is vulnerable to arbitrary requisition from the Chinese state.

“If you don’t think this is true, you can read it right in their terms of service,” Stu says.

And he’s right. In the terms of service, it states, “The personal information we collect from you may be stored on a server located outside of the country where you live. We store the information we collect in secure servers located in the People’s Republic of China.”

However, most people aren’t heeding this warning, as the DeepSeek app is now the number-one application in Apple’s App Store.

“It’s hard to understand why TikTok wouldn’t be allowed in the App Store and this would. It seems like the same approach should apply to a company like this that applies to TikTok,” Stu says, “because the further the Chinese get into our data, the farther they get into this technology, the worse for America.”
