Pete Buttigieg revealed that his husband and children were the target of what he called a “cruel, politically motivated hoax” involving Child Protective Services.

The former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and failed presidential candidate wrote in a Substack article published Friday that someone made a false report against him in attempt to separate his family.

‘I’m used to any number of falsehoods, attacks, and serious problems being thrown my way. What I didn’t understand was what could have led to this kind of visit.’

Buttigieg compared the incident to swatting, where a fake call to police sends officers to a victim’s home in hopes of causing an injurious or deadly confrontation.

“Now imagine the same concept, but with Child Protective Services instead of a SWAT team,” he wrote. “Hadn’t thought of that? Me neither, until a few days ago when a police officer and a CPS worker showed up at our home and politely asked to speak with me.”

The police told him they needed to interview his 4-year-old twin children alone in order to investigate an accusation of abuse they received.

“I was bewildered and troubled, but tried to stay calm. I’m used to any number of falsehoods, attacks, and serious problems being thrown my way. What I didn’t understand was what could have led to this kind of visit,” he continued.

Police separated the children overnight while the investigation cleared them of the allegations.

Buttigieg described what investigators told him led to the investigation. It was a tip from someone who called Child Protective Services.

The caller said that he had spoken to a woman who claimed to have met me at a conference several years ago in Alabama, where she said I told her that I had committed unspeakable violent crimes, and the caller believed my children were still at risk.

The officer said they believed the incident was politically motivated and would not lead to charges because nothing had been found in the forensic interview with the children.

“After the officer, the CPS worker, and the lawyers all left, Chasten and I hugged each other as tightly as we have any time since the day our son was put on life support as a critically ill infant just weeks after the adoption,” he added.

He went on to say that the officials’ time and effort had been wasted by the “cruel, politically motivated hoax that harmed our family.”

Michigan State Police confirmed to MS Now that they had received an “anonymous report” in the case and had determined the report was a false accusation.

“False reports are dangerous and divert law enforcement officers and Child Protective Services workers from responding to legitimate emergencies and protecting vulnerable children and families,” read the statement from police.

Buttigieg called the incident the “ugliest thing” that has ever happened to him since his political career began.

The fantastic success of the World Cup in the U.S. has soured many Democrats who were hoping it would be a black eye for President Donald Trump, according to a Politico report.

The report found that many believed the complex logistics of organizing the global event might be too much for American officials but that that hope has been dashed so far.

‘What an absolute crock of an article.’

“I think that there was a little bit of like liberal wishcasting that this would maybe be a disaster to sort of stick it to Trump,” said Democratic strategist Rob Flaherty. “It hasn’t yet been.”

It went on to say that Democrats have pivoted from criticizing the tournament in anticipation of its failure to praising local officials rather than crediting the Trump administration.

The Politico report was unwelcome on social media, where many on the left expressed their outrage.

“This is the most hilarious stretch I’ve ever read,” replied A.J. Delgado, who identifies as anti-Trump. “Yes, nothing makes Dems more uncomfortable than Dem-mayor Boston; Dem-mayor Atlanta; Dem-mayor Miami and more doing a great job hosting. This is like saying Dems are struggling with the Knicks’ success.”

“Why would Democrats grapple with it being that it’s democratic cities that benefited from it? Pretty stupid headline,” responded Leslie Marshall.

“What an absolute crock of an article,” said another X user.

“Truly stupid claim. Conservatives make everything political & divisive. The media was so much better when it simply reported events,” said another critic.

“Article is trash. Dems arent uncomfortable with #WorldCup success,” replied one detractor. “You can enjoy games, events and Europeans amazement of American culture while also thinking Trump is POS. Cup just showed Europeans think Trump is POS but still love USA.”

White House spokesperson Davis Ingle responded to the report by praising Trump’s role.

“Thanks to President Trump’s bold leadership, the FIFA World Cup 2026 will undoubtedly go down as one of the greatest and most historic sporting events in history,” he said on social media.

“Another win for the American people and the world,” he added.

President Donald Trump went on the attack against the far-left socialists making inroads into the Democratic party after a series of primary victories.

Three far left extremists defeated their establishment centrist counterparts in elections Tuesday in New York City, leading to recriminations and chaos within the Democratic party.

‘They’re not social Democrats. They want to completely destroy the traditional American way of life.’

Trump offered a preview of his speech against the far left movement in a post Friday on Truth Social.

“These are not social Dumocrats, these are hard core, godless Communists,” wrote the president. “This is the most serious threat to our Country since its existence 250 years ago. Isn’t it ironic, we’re celebrating a very important Birthday, and instead of speaking about Christ, Freedom, and Victories of all different kinds, we’re speaking about yet another threat to the Foundations of America.”

He added: “They’re animals! In many cases, not smart but, in some cases, they are.”

Trump then expanded on his statement in a speech at the Faith and Freedom Coalition policy conference at the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C.

“They’re not social Democrats. They want to completely destroy the traditional American way of life,” said the president.

“The Democrats have taken a tremendous turn left. And many of these people, I looked at some of the people that got elected the other night in New York,” Trump added. “These are these are in many ways stupid people in some ways and intellectually probably pretty smart, but they’re people that want to destroy our country. They hate our country. They hate our people.”

He then said the Democrats were not fighting the communist takeover of their party.

“They’re after Christianity more than any other religion. It seems to be more and more throughout the world,” the president continued. “Maybe because we’re doing so well. I don’t know. Maybe if we weren’t doing well. But you see the numbers, how they’re growing, how the churches are filling up. It’s a beautiful thing to see. I mean, look, it happens to be during my presidency, so I don’t mind taking credit for it. I’m very proud.”

A group of Democrats did come together to oppose the socialist takeover of their party. 13 Democrats signed a pledge to defend America against extremism from both the left and the right.

“The United States has never been stronger. We have never been wealthier. We’ve never been prouder to be an American,” Trump said.

“Since 1776, America’s story has been a tale of freedom, overcoming oppression, good defeating evil, and faith overcoming every challenge and every foe,” he added. “We had everybody was winning, and we’re going to continue stronger, maybe stronger.”

The president finished with a prayer to God to continue blessing the U.S., and walked out as “Y.M.C.A” by the Village People blared over the speakers.

A knife-wielding Sikh named Vickrum Digwa fatally stabbed 18-year-old Englishman Henry Nowak in Portswood, England, on Dec. 3, 2025. Adding insult to injury, police officers from the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary treated Nowak as a racist and a criminal in his final moments — handcuffing him as he lay bleeding and brushing off his repeated complaints about having been stabbed and being unable to breathe.

The British public was confronted with some of the horrific details of the murder after Digwa’s murder trial last month and after bodycam footage evidencing Nowak’s mistreatment by police was released earlier this month. They erupted in protest, demanding the resignations and/or prosecution of the police involved and for the justice system to rectify its anti-white protocols.

‘I’m pushing on a f**king stab wound.’

The scandal not only prompted condemnations from British lawmakers but a response by Vice President JD Vance, who stated that “the proper response — the only response — is righteous anger.”

Additional police bodycam footage from the night of Nowak’s death and a full transcript of the encounter released by the Crown Prosecution Service and published by the BBC this week shed more light on the insidious nature of the Sikh’s lies and police officers’ mistreatment of the white victim.

The footage shows Digwa setting the scene after police arrived with a torrent of lies, stating:

He pushed my turban off my head. … So I’m a Sikh, obviously, and he started grabbing on my hair, started dragging me around, and obviously from there, then obviously an altercation’s happened. My brother’s then seen it, stopped it, and that’s when [Nowak] then started stumbling around, started climbing around all these sort of bits and bobs and stuff like that.

Digwa falsely claims further in the footage that Nowak was “obviously drunk”; that Nowak had “just started escalating the situation” and called him a “Paki”; and that the blood on Nowak “must have been [from] when we punched him.”

After Digwa said that he had been “racially attacked,” an officer says, “I know, I know, OK, I know,” adding, “But we don’t know what’s gone on, mate.”

Never once does Digwa mention that he used his eight-inch Sikh blade to stab Nowak five times, including in the chest, face, and twice in the back of the legs.

The footage also shows police arrest Digwa on suspicion of attempted murder — but treating him differently than they treated Nowak. Whereas police handcuffed the dying teen, the police never bothered binding the murderer’s hands.

Mark Nowak, the victim’s father, said earlier this month that unlike his son, the Sikh murderer was curiously “afforded decency. He was believed. He was not handcuffed when arrested. He was not handcuffed when transported to the police station. As far as we understand, he was never handcuffed at all.”

Police confirmed to the BBC that Digwa was “never handcuffed” during his four days in custody prior to being formally charged for murder.

“The contrast is unbearable,” added Mark Nowak.

The BBC highlighted that the officer who spoke politely to Digwa and refrained from handcuffing him is the same individual later heard in bodycam footage saying, “Don’t think you have, mate,” after Nowak says that he has been stabbed.

According to the BBC’s review of the full transcript, it took police officers eight minutes to discover and locate the fatal stab wound in Nowak’s chest after they arrived on the scene.

Nowak told police he could not breathe nine times and said four times he had been stabbed, but the officers initially brushed off those complaints and began taking them seriously only after Nowak became unresponsive, at which point one officer states in the transcript, “I’m not sure he’s breathing.”

After uncuffing the unconscious victim whom they had arrested, police started chest compressions.

Around the five minute and 24 second mark, a female officer asks for a flashlight so she can properly inspect Nowak for a stab wound. Two minutes later, she finally gets around to cutting Nowak’s clothing and states, “Yeah, he’s got a stab … there’s a mark there.”

One officer states, “That makes it worse. He’s got a stab. … I’m pushing on a f**king stab wound.”

The female officer replies, “That’s OK. It’s fine. …. It’s not coming out. It’s fine. Keep going. Keep going. It’s not bleeding out.”

The officers continued chest compressions until a paramedic arrived on the scene, where Nowak was pronounced dead at 12:37 a.m. on Dec. 4.

The officers’ handling of the case is presently under investigation by a watchdog outfit, the Independent Office for Police Conduct.

Restore Britain leader Rupert Lowe said earlier this month, “Young, white British men are bleeding to death in the street as a direct result of our racist establishment. I will never forget, and I will never forgive.”
