Trump critic George Conway has announced he’s running for Congress. The former conservative lawyer and the ex-husband of President Trump’s former Senior Counselor, Kellyanne Conway, announced he’s running for Congress as a Democrat in New York City. Conway is seeking to replace Rep. Jerry Nadler, who is retiring. NBC News broke the story on Conway’s move: George Conway, the former conservative lawyer-turned-ardent critic of President Donald Trump, has filed paperwork to run for Congress in New York City as a Democrat, a source close to Conway confirmed. While he hasn’t formally launched a congressional bid or commented on it publicly, new paperwork filed Monday with the Federal Election Commission shows Conway plans to run in the crowded primary in the 12th Congressional District. Democrat Jerry Nadler, who currently represents the district, isn’t seeking re-election. “George is a seasoned fighter against Trump and Trumpism, and he’s considering taking that fight to Congress. Today, he filed paperwork that is a prerequisite to run. He will have more to say in the new year after the holidays,” the source close to Conway said. “I’m going into the arena,” Conway wrote on Substack later Monday, though he did not explicitly confirm the bid. “I’ve already put my money where my mouth is, but now it’s time to lay it all on the line.” The glut of candidates in the Democratic primary, in one of the bluest districts in the country, includes: former Merrill Lynch managing director Alan Pardee, Kennedy family scion and liberal online commentator Jack Schlossberg, state Assemblymen Micah Lasher and Alex Bores, gun safety activist Cameron Kasky and Jami Floyd, a journalist and former White House fellow in the Clinton administration. Potential candidates have to file paperwork with the FEC if they meet certain campaign fundraising or organizing benchmarks, although they do not necessarily have to follow through with bids. Last week, on an episode of his podcast on “The Bulwark,” Conway announced he was leaving the show to do “either the stupidest thing I’ve ever done or the best thing.” Take a look: Former Republican George Conway files bid to run for New York’s 12th congressional district as a Democrat pic.twitter.com/AxQ0O8pRPV — InteractivePolls (@IAPolls2022) December 22, 2025 News Nation reported Conway will be up against JFK’s grandson, Jack Schlossberg: Conway’s entry into the race tees up a crowded primary in the Manhattan-based district, which also includes Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of former President John F. Kennedy; state Assembly member Micah Lasher (D); and activists Cameron Kasky and Mathew Shurka. Conway is the second former Republican and prominent critic of Trump to make a run for office. Former Georgia GOP Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan is running as a Democrat for Georgia governor next year. Nadler’s seat leans heavily Democratic, making whoever wins the primary next year the heavy favorite to win in November.

The University of Oklahoma just ruled in favor of a student who was ridiculously given a failing grade on a paper for using the Bible to defend the fact that there are only two genders. 20-year-old junior psychology major Samantha Fulnecky appealed the failure with the school, who sided with her on the matter. Not only that, but the teaching assistant who flunked her — a transgender man pretending to be a woman named Mel Curth — has now been relieved of his instructional duties. Here are the details: BREAKING: University of Oklahoma STRIKES DOWN transgender teacher who gave Christian student Samantha Fulnecky a ZERO on a paper that cited the Bible for gender roles.

As stated previously, the student followed two available processes at the University: the grade appeals process in the college and she made a formal claim of illegal religious discrimination. As already announced, the grade appeal was decided in favor of the student, removing the assignment completely from the student’s total point value of the class, resulting in no academic harm to the student. The claim for discrimination has been investigated and concluded. The University does not release findings from such investigations. At the same time of the investigation, the Provost—the University’s highest ranking academic officer— and the academic Dean reviewed the full facts of the matter. Based on an examination of the graduate teaching assistant’s prior grading standards and patterns, as well as the graduate teaching assistant’s own statements related to this matter, it was determined that the graduate teaching assistant was arbitrary in the grading of this specific paper. The graduate teaching assistant will no longer have instructional duties at the University. Because this matter involves both student and faculty rights, the University has engaged in repeated and detailed conversations with the Faculty Senate Executive Committee to ensure there is an understanding of the facts, the process, and the actions being taken. The University of Oklahoma believes strongly in both its faculty’s rights to teach with academic freedom and integrity and its students’ right to receive an education that is free from a lecturer’s impermissible evaluation standards. We are committed to teaching students how to think, not what to think. The University will continue to review best practices to ensure that its instructors have the comprehensive training necessary to objectively assess their students’ work without limiting their ability to teach, inspire, and elevate our next generation. The New York Post provided excerpts from Fulnecky’s essay — and the feedback she received from the now-fired transgender teaching assistant: The assignment asked students to write a 650-word response to an academic article examining whether conformity to gender norms was associated with popularity or bullying among middle school students. In the essay, Fulnecky argues that she doesn’t believe that there are more than two genders because “that is how God made us.” “Society pushing the lie that there are multiple genders and everyone should be whatever they want to be is demonic and severely harms American youth,” Fulnecky wrote. “I live my life based on this truth and firmly believe that there would be less gender issues and insecurities in children if they were raised knowing that they do not belong to themselves, but they belong to the Lord,” she added. In her feedback to the student, Curth said that she neglected to address the prompt and relied more on “personal ideology” than “empirical evidence.” She also said that Fulnecky’s assertions were “at times offensive.” “To call an entire group of people ‘demonic’ is highly offensive, especially a minoritized population,” Curth wrote, before nitpicking the slew of contradictions in Fulnecky’s essay. “You can say that strict gender norms don’t create gender stereotypes, but that isn’t true by definition of what a stereotype is. Please note that acknowledging gender stereotypes does not immediately denote a negative connotation, a nuance this article discusses,” she added. This is a huge slap in the face to the woke mind virus that has been plaguing college campuses. The tide is truly turning. Take a look at some of these responses: If you can’t even acknowledge basic biological reality, you have no business being a college professor. — The Conservative Alternative (@OldeWorldOrder) December 22, 2025 Good. If a student can cite modern gender ideology, they can cite the Bible. Grading should be about the quality of the argument, not punishing Christianity or enforcing someone’s politics. — rowdyamerican (@rowdyamerican69) December 22, 2025 Finally some accountability in the Universities — Erik J Smits (@ErikJSmits) December 22, 2025 Your thoughts?

The Federalist article last week explained that 315,000 votes were uncertified in Georgia in the 2020 presidential election. That is not legal, despite the media downplaying it by calling it rule-breaking. Poll workers did not sign off on the ballots, making them invalid. This is huge because it renders the Georgia case against Donald Trump […] The post This Is Why Georgia’s 315K Illegal Votes in 2020 Matter Greatly appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

WASHINGTON, Dec 23 (Reuters) – The U.S. economy grew faster than expected in the third quarter, driven by robust consumer spending. Gross domestic product increased at a 4.3% annualized rate last quarter, the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Economic Analysis said in its initial estimate of third-quarter GDP on Tuesday. The economy grew at a 3.8% pace in the second quarter. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast GDP would rise at a 3.3% pace. Trump credited his wide-ranging tariffs for the third-quarter economic boom. “The TARIFFS are responsible for the GREAT USA Economic Numbers JUST ANNOUNCED,” Trump said. “AND THEY WILL ONLY GET BETTER! Also, NO INFLATION & GREAT NATIONAL SECURITY. Pray for the U.S. Supreme Court!!!” The data was delayed by the 43-day government shutdown and is now outdated. Consumer spending increased at a 3.5% rate last quarter after advancing at a 2.5% pace in the second quarter. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday’s economic report shows that “doubters, naysayers, panicans, and liberal media have been proven wrong — again.” “Trust in Trump. The President’s pro-growth policies are working, and the best is yet to come!” she added. Christmas Sale – Get 40% off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships Much of the consumer spending acceleration resulted from a rush to buy electric vehicles before the September 30 expiration of tax credits. Motor vehicle sales dropped in October and November, while spending elsewhere was mixed. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has estimated the shutdown could slice between 1.0 percentage point and 2.0 percentage points off GDP in the fourth quarter. It projected most of the GDP drop would be recovered, but estimated between $7 billion and $14 billion would not. Surveys suggest consumer spending is being driven by higher-income households, thanks to a stock market boom that has inflated household wealth.
