“HYPOCRITE” — Ric Grenell Calls Out Democrat Senate Candidate Mary Peltola After Repeatedly Using Homophobic Slurs Like “F*ggot” on Her Own Gay Staffers

On Thursday, the former acting Director of National Intelligence and Kennedy Center president went after Alaska Democrat Mary Peltola after former aides accused the Senate candidate of repeatedly using homophobic slurs, including about members of her own staff.

Grenell, who is openly gay, did not mince words.

“Sorry, @marthamaccallum and @JacquiHeinrich — multiple Democrat staffers confirmed that their Democrat boss used homophobic slurs, not once, but multiple times,” Grenell posted. 

“Calling your own gay staffers derogatory and condescending names while asking Democrats to vote for you shows she’s at least a comfortable hypocrite. I’m old enough to remember that this accusation would be nonstop media coverage for a Republican.”

Peltola, the former one-term Democrat congresswoman now trying to flip Sen. Dan Sullivan’s seat, is the latest Democrat to discover that “tolerance” only runs one way.

According to the New York Times, four former staffers said they personally heard Peltola use the slur “faggot” over the years, in some cases directed at her own staff. The campaign denied that specific allegation. 

The same report, citing nine former aides plus text messages the paper reviewed, said she also used the word “retarded.” On that one, the campaign conceded the language and claimed she now “regrets” it.

The New York Post reported the same picture: angry outbursts, the gay slur, the R-word, and an incident in which Peltola shoved a male aide in the chest hard enough that he stumbled backward after she could not find a document. Her campaign later tried to rebrand the shove as an accidental “bump.”

Fox News itself covered the story, noting Peltola’s campaign blamed “the hardest period of her life,” the 2023 deaths of her mother and husband, while still insisting the accounts do not show a pattern of abuse.

According to Fox News, Peltola refused to answer questions about the report when a Fox reporter confronted her after a labor event in Anchorage.

The texts the Times obtained are not subtle. After a commercial fisheries executive posted a selfie with her, Peltola wrote: “Fuck that retard.”

In another message aimed at Planned Parenthood, she exploded, “FUCK THOSE BITCHES.” A separate text, according to multiple outlets that reviewed the Times reporting, wished a local Planned Parenthood board member would “die of a botched abortion.”

This is the same Mary Peltola Democrats are selling as the moderate, fish-first, Alaska-first candidate who can peel off Republican voters. The same operation that already imploded internally once this cycle.

In August, Peltola’s campaign descended into “complete chaos” just days before Alaska’s open primary when she abruptly fired multiple senior staffers, including longtime aides who had been with her since her 2022 House win.

Local reporting at the time called it a “Saturday night massacre.” She still finished first in the primary. Now the staff who survived, and the ones who didn’t, are talking.

Staffers also described being ordered to feed live crickets to the family pet chameleon, Meatball, and an office climate so toxic that aides cried, lost weight, and talked about quitting. High staff turnover was already a hallmark of her House office.

If a Republican Senate candidate had been caught on the record calling gay staffers slurs, shoving an aide, and texting that a woman should die of a botched abortion, the networks would have a war room running 24 hours a day.

Grenell’s point is the one the legacy media will not say out loud: the rules are not the same. A Democrat can use language the left has spent a decade declaring career-ending, against her own gay employees, and still be the party’s great hope in Alaska. The same party that lectures the country about “hate” every Pride Month.

Peltola’s campaign says the former staffers are exaggerating and lying. Multiple former Democrat staffers told the Times otherwise. Grenell says he believes them.

And he is reminding Fox’s biggest names what the coverage would look like if the name on the door were Republican.

HORROR: Pediatric ICU Doctor Who Cared for Critically Ill Children Stabbed to Death in His Bed While His Children Slept — Suspect Was Out on Non-Monetary Bail in Felony Burglary Case

A respected pediatric critical-care doctor who dedicated his career to treating gravely ill children was stabbed to death inside his Pennsylvania home early Thursday morning while his own two children were sleeping nearby.

And the man accused of the horrific attack was reportedly already facing felony burglary charges, and had been released on non-monetary bail.

Dr. Idris V.R. Evans, 46, served as co-medical director of the Pediatric Critical Care Transport Team at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh and as an assistant professor of critical care medicine at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, according to his profile on the University of Pittsburgh. 

Colleagues described him as a dedicated caregiver whose work focused on the sickest kids, pediatric sepsis, critical care transport, and keeping children alive when they arrived at the hospital in the worst possible shape.

That life ended around 12:30 a.m. Thursday in the family’s Edgewood home on Linden Avenue, KDKA reported.

According to WPXI, citing Allegheny County police and court documents, 32-year-old Elijah Hemingway of Pittsburgh’s Hazelwood neighborhood entered the home through a window, went to the third-floor bedroom, and attacked Evans and his wife with a kitchen knife while they slept.

Hemingway was wearing only underwear and reportedly talked about “being God” during the assault. 

Evans’ wife later told investigators they woke to the attack; she yelled for their 8-year-old and 12-year-old children to get out of the house and run to a neighbor.

The children escaped unharmed. Evans died at the hospital. His wife remained in critical but stable condition.

Police described a “very violent scene” with broken furniture and mirrors in the bedroom. Hemingway was found hiding behind a nearby house with cuts on his hand.

He is charged with criminal homicide, attempted homicide, aggravated assault, burglary, and related counts. In interviews he claimed Evans had invited him over hours earlier and that the couple attacked him first. Investigators said they found no evidence supporting that account.

Evans’ wife told police she did not know the man, though her husband addressed him as “Elijah,” according to KDKA.

Court records list Hemingway as a Black male. He was already free on the street because of how Allegheny County handles bail.

Hemingway had been arrested in July 2026 on felony burglary and theft charges from a February incident at an ex-girlfriend’s home, where he allegedly took electronics.

His bail in that case was set at $0.00, non-monetary, also called cashless or release on non-cash conditions. A preliminary hearing was still pending. He also had a record of traffic offenses and disorderly conduct citations.

EXCLUSIVE: Patrick Byrne Drops Bombshells — China Is the Main Shareholder — If Dems Flip Congress, America Is Over

 

Patrick Byrne warns Americans that this may be our last free election if the radical Democrats flip Congress.

 

Former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne sat down with Pete Santilli for the first installment of a Gateway Pundit exclusive election 2026 series and laid out what he calls years of fieldwork into foreign election-manipulation technology.

Byrne, author of The Deep Rig and Danger Close and co-founder of the America Project with Gen. Michael Flynn, said he partnered after the 2020 election with legendary CIA figure Gary Burnson and longtime Venezuela specialist Martin Rodil after cartel sources pointed them to a “weapon” that allegedly could fix elections. Eventually, up to fifteen Venezuelan defectors worked with Byrne and described the systems from the inside. 

In this recent interview, Byrne told Santilli the work took him overseas for roughly two and a half years undercover.  Byrne said sources demonstrated equipment that could spit out any result, leave no audit trail, and defeat verification. At Byrne’s prompting, one source told Flynn the network had manipulated elections for twenty years across seventy-two countries — a moment Byrne called among the most dramatic of his life.

Patrick Byrne also estimated that around 25% of Democrat votes today may actually be fraudulent. This is something that sounds plausible considering their insistence on cheating in elections anyway possible.

Byrne framed the alleged election apparatus as one arm of a larger Cuban-Venezuelan project, with China as the “main shareholder,” aimed at the incremental capture of Western institutions and the eventual collapse of the United States through “movement warfare” rather than a conventional invasion.

President Trump discussed the vulnerabilities of electronic voting with the American people in July and released previously classified information, including: 

“Americans were blatantly lied to about the security of our election infrastructure, including electronic voting machines and ballot-counting systems. We are releasing a series of previously classified U.S. Intelligence Community Assessments and other reports proving that our government has long known these machines are extremely vulnerable to attack. As one assessment states: “We judge that U.S. adversaries, including at a minimum Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, as well as non-state groups, have the capability to compromise U.S. election infrastructure.” The documents also state: “We assess that centralized election-related data repositories, such as voter registration databases, pollbooks, and official election websites, are most vulnerable to exploitation, and adversaries could use access to these systems to disrupt election processes.” Tonight, we are releasing all of these findings, spanning from January 2020 to June 2026. This is a cyber threat aimed at the very heart of our democracy.

Byrne and Santilli also walked through what Byrne presents as a staged social-control playbook — classification, visual separation, demonization, and preparation — applied to COVID-era vaccine and mask politics, which Byrne has detailed in his recent presentation The Greatest Hack in History (X).”

Looking ahead to November 2026, Byrne warned that a House flip would put Hakeem Jeffries in the speakership with an immediate push to impeach Trump and Vance, and that another Democrat-led administration could simply naturalize millions of illegal aliens and make election rigging unnecessary.

His bottom-line recommendation: Trump should use emergency authorities now to force a clean, transparent election — small precincts, ID and citizenship checks, ballots counted where cast, machines out — before any result can be spun as “sore loserism.”
