BOOM! Elise Stefanik May Have Ended Kathy Hochul’s CareerJune 12, 2025

Matt Margolis

In what I can only describe as a masterclass in political demolition, Rep. Elise Stefanik delivered a withering takedown of New York Gov. Kathy Hochul during a House committee hearing on sanctuary state policies.The exchange was so brutal and methodical that it may have effectively ended Hochul's political career before it even had a chance to flourish.

Stefanik, who is reportedly considering a gubernatorial run herself, came armed with facts while Hochul appeared woefully unprepared to defend her own policies. From the opening moments, this wouldn't be a typical political theater exchange —this was a prosecutor methodically building her case against a defendant who had no viable defense.

The congresswoman wasted no time establishing the foundation of her attack, forcing Hochul to acknowledge Executive Order 1, which she signed on her first day in office. "And you extended this executive order not once, not twice, but three times, most recently January 16 of this year. Is that correct?" Stefanik pressed.

When Hochul tried to deflect with vague responses about signing "countless executive orders," Stefanik cut through the noise with laser precision. She methodically outlined exactly what New York's sanctuary state policies entail, reading directly from the executive orders: "Law enforcement officers may not use resources, equipment, or personnel for the purpose of detecting and apprehending any individual suspected or wanted for violating a civil immigration office."

But the real devastation came when Stefanik began naming names: the victims of crimes that illegal immigrants who should have been detained but weren't due to Hochul's policies committed. The governor's ignorance of these high-profile cases was stunning and politically fatal.

"Do you know who Sakir Akan is?" Stefanik asked. When Hochul fumbled for an answer, Stefanik delivered the hammer blow: "He was an illegal migrant in New York, and do you know what crime he committed in addition to being here illegally? He found a 15-year-old girl, threatened her with a metal pole, told her to get into the back seat of his car. He took her clothes off, and he violently raped her in Albany, New York."

The pattern continued with devastating effect.Sebastian Zepeda-Khalil, an illegal immigrant who "found a sleeping woman on the subway, lit her on fire, and burnt her alive." Raymond Roxas Basilio, "an illegal who molested an 11-year-old in our state." Wilson Castillo Diaz, connected to the rape of a five-year-old on Long Island.

Each time, Hochul claimed ignorance of these cases, despite their widespread media coverage throughout her state."These are high-profile cases. New Yorkers know about them, and you don't?" Stefanik asked, shocked.

Hochul's attempts at damage control only made things worse. Her repeated claims that New York "cooperates with ICE" fell flat when Stefanik confronted her with the specific language of her own executive orders. "No, it does not say that. I read what it says," Stefanik shot back when Hochul tried to mischaracterize her own policies.

The governor's desperation became palpable as she repeatedly interrupted and tried to pivot away from the specific casesStefanik was citing. "I just wanna say this, these crimes are horrific. I condemn them," Hochul stammered, but Stefanik wasn't having it, pointing out that these crimes happened because of her sanctuary state policies.

"You are not advocating on behalf of these victims,” Stefanik declared. “You are shielding illegals. Even in your opening statement, you prioritize putting illegals first."

The exchange reached its crescendo when Stefanik delivered what may become her signature line of the hearing:"This is Kathy Hochul's New York. It's one of many, the many reasons why you're hemorrhaging support from hardworking New York families."

If Stefanik does decide to run for governor, this performance will undoubtedly serve as her campaign launch video. She demonstrated the kind of principled, fact-based leadership that New York desperately needs. More importantly, she may have just ended Kathy Hochul's political career with this pointed, devastating questioning that exposed the governor as someone more concerned with protecting illegal immigrants than the citizens she swore to serve.

I hope Stefanik runs. If she declares, I’ll donate immediately.

So this gold card is a cut to the front line, so they don't have to spend 10+ years trying to be a citizen of the US. Does this give them dual citizenship, that witch I think is what is so f–k up in congress already, you can not be loyal to two country's at the same time.

Anybody overusing this obscenely abused "term" is Communist. Almost as bad as "community", perhaps the Communist term more over-used than any other.

The House of Representatives is NOW voting on my Administration’s first “Rescissions” Bill. It will OFFICALLY “claw back” $9.4 BILLION DOLLARS in funding for wasteful Foreign Aid, used for Radical “DEI” and the Green New SCAM, and the “Corporation for Public Broadcasting,” which funds the highly biased NPR and PBS. For decades, Republicans have promised to cut NPR, but have never done it, until now. NPR and PBS are a Radical Left Disaster, and 1000% against the Republican Party! These Rescissions, along with “THE ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL,” our highly successful Tariffs, Mass Deportations of Illegal Aliens, and our Strong Economy, will finally CUT the Deficit, and help balance our Budget. The Rescissions Bill is a NO BRAINER, and every single Republican in Congress should vote, “YES.” MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

'Bottom of darkness': Children raped in ritual ceremonies expose the horrors

Multiple women recount organized abuse including ritual ceremonies conducted by people they knew, even close family members – after months of interviews with victims, their families, treatment professionals and experts in Israel and abroad, a disturbing picture emerges with descriptions difficult to read.

"I suffered painful sodomy, truly felt like I was splitting in two. It's a terrible experience, but there's something about these things, perhaps in their strangeness, that's like… maybe the hardest component is that if you tell people about these things, they'll think you're crazy. I remember many types of severe sexual abuse, but there's something about these ritualistic abuses that makes them the bottom of darkness."

In direct words and with a clear voice, Emunah (pseudonym, like all victims' names in this article) describes the severe abuse she allegedly experienced in her childhood. Organized sexual abuse that included "ceremonies" with supposed religious significance. Horrifying ceremonies in which religious people, some from her own family, sacrificed her as an offering for spiritual transcendence or redemption.

Emunah is not alone. More than ten women between the ages of 20-45 with whom we spoke describe a severe phenomenon raising serious concern that in Israel, like many countries worldwide, organized sexual abuse of children is occurring right under everyone's nose.

"Perhaps the world knows that rape occurs, that incest exists, but this the world doesn't know," Emunah said. "These acts have been kept secret for years, perhaps because of their insanity… it was always very, very strange. As if there was an internal logic, but it was so crazy… very strange things happen there, normalized in a ritualistic and orderly manner. There's a specific time, there's when to say this verse and when to say that verse, there's an order as if things are supposed to be done this way…"

Each woman we interviewed during our investigation has a different life story. They come from different areas of the country, from north to south. Each is at a different place in her life. Some are students, others work and manage careers and family lives, and there are also young women barely surviving, clinging to life by their fingernails.

These women did not know each other previously, grew up in different communities, and come from different sectors and religious streams. Yet the ritual abuse stories they describe are similar in ways that compel us to listen and not turn a blind eye. Some were harmed in early childhood educational settings or in girls' schools, others in their family homes, yeshivas or synagogues. In this article, we present only a very small sample from many hours of interviews and information, and some descriptions in this article are difficult to read. The great fear expressed by everyone who spoke with us is that organized sexual abuse of children continues even today.

>So what, does that negate what Hochul did and does?

I never said anything of the sort. I merely pointed out that Stefanik has her own skeletons. Stefanik helped sell out the entire country. I find it ironic she's acting all high and mighty in a committee meeting.

Shouldn't throw stones in glass houses, Anon. Just sayin.
