  • Mamdani is dangerous, but also pretty stupid

    Tilting at Windmills ^ | 2 July 2025 | Tom Knighton
    Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic primary and is poised to become the next mayor of the Big Apple. He’s young, personable, has amazing charisma, and is being touted by some as the new face of the party. Others are suggesting that Mamdani, with all his attributes, is offering a path forward for Democrats to win in both the midterms and in 2028. These people are just as stupid as Mamdani himself. Mamdani is an avowed socialist who advocates for socialist policies, which are always going to resonate with people who are idiotic, jealous of other people’s wealth, or too lazy...

    Oh, and he is much better than they are at talking!... Congress passed the cornerstone legislation of Trump’s second presidency, eclipsing my desire to look at past Fourth of July jubilations. The Big Beautiful Bill was worthy of our Founding Fathers, who would be appalled by the size and breadth of the government. DC controls just about every facet of a citizen’s life while siting on a mountain of IOUs no one ever will collect. The bill, which will become law when President Trump signs it tonight at 5 PM Eastern (Lord willing), trims spending for the first time in...
  • Jake Tapper Is Paid Millions A Year To Not Know The News

    The Federalist ^ | 30 June 2025 | Shawn Fleetwood
    Just when you think CNN’s Jake Tapper can’t become an even bigger media hack than he already is, he finds a way to prove you wrong. The latest incident of the network host’s shoddy conduct as a so-called “journalist” came on Friday during his interview with New York City Mayor Eric Adams. Among the topics covered during the exchange was the Big Apple’s upcoming mayoral contest, which will pit Adams against the newly nominated Democrat candidate, radical socialist Zohran Mamdani. When the conversation shifted to the race against Mamdani, Tapper — whose network a jury found is actually fake news...

    I knew it! Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass were lying when they said it would be “easy” for fire victims to get a permit to rebuild their homes. From March 1 through June 30, 2025, more than 5,000 fire victims have visited the government’s “one stop center,” and 948 of them have applied for a building permit. But only 44 of them have actually received a building permit.By Daniel Alman (aka Dan from Squirrel Hill)June 30, 2025The very first time that I heard California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass say that they were creating a “one...
  • Karmelo Anthony Pleads Poverty and Asks for Public Defender Despite $600K Fundraiser, as Family Boosts Goal to $1.4M

    Gateway Pundit ^ | 06/28/2025 | Cassandra MacDonald
    Karmelo Anthony, the 18-year-old Texas teen indicted for the first-degree murder of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a Frisco high school track meet in April, has requested a court-appointed public defender, citing financial hardship, despite his family’s GiveSendGo fundraiser raising nearly $600,000. The family also recently raised the campaign’s goal to $1.4 million, sparking questions about the use of funds. Since the killing, the Anthonys have purchased a new Cadillac and moved into a $900,000 home. Anthony fatally stabbed 17-year-old Metcalf in the heart at a track meet in Frisco, Texas. He died in the arms of his twin brother. The...

  • Iran’s swift response forced enemy to end hostilities, Supreme National Security Council says

    Tehran Times ^ | 06/24/2025
    TEHRAN - Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) issued a statement on Tuesday, declaring that the Islamic Republic’s firm and coordinated military response to the Zionist regime’s recent aggression ultimately forced the enemy—and its regional and Western supporters—to unilaterally halt their offensive operations. According to the statement, following the orders of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Iranian forces responded decisively and courageously to every act of hostility. The retaliatory operations included a powerful missile strike on the U.S. military base at Al-Udeid in Qatar and extensive attacks targeting positions across the occupied Palestinian...

    Hot Air ^ | 22 June 2025 | Ed Morrissey
    After last night's strikes on Iran, Democrat politicians reached screeching levels of hypocrisy over Donald Trump's decision to act rather than wait for an Iranian nuclear weapon deployment. Chuck Schumer demanded action from Congress, as did Hakeem Jeffries. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez led calls for impeachment. Practically every Democrat on Capitol Hill -- with the notable exception of John Fetterman -- rushed to promote their "authoritarian" narrative about Trump. All of this venting reveals very short memories on the port side of Capitol Hill. Fourteen years ago, they couldn't get enough of presidential strikes on a nation in the very same region....

    The war with Iran proves once again the importance for Israel to have an American strategic bomber as part of the Israeli Air Force's aircraft arsenal. B-52 Stratofortress Strategic Bomber The war with Iran proves once again the importance for Israel to have an American strategic bomber as part of the Israeli Air Force's aircraft arsenal. Twice, in 2013, during my tenure as Ambassador in Washington, and later, as a Member of Knesset in 2018, I asked the United States to sell us a strategic bomber. I understood that the U.S. would not be willing to sell us one of...

    Newsbusters ^ | 18 June 2025 | Nicolas Fondacaro
    The liberal victim mentality will lead to its sycophants making insane comments in order to justify hating America. That truth was on full display during Wednesday’s edition of The View as moderator Whoopi Goldberg and co-host Sunny Hostin proclaimed it was worse to be black in American than live under the oppressive theocratic regime of the ayatollahs in Iran. Hostin also insisted that Israel needed to use “diplomacy” when dealing with an enemy threatening to nuke them, not bombs. What triggered Goldberg’s rage was right-leaning co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin pointing out the fact that people in the Iran were actually...

    The Pipeline ^ | 19 June 2025 | Michael Walsh
    One of the longest periods of "stability" in Europe was near-century that followed the defeat of Napoleon in 1815 and concluded with the death of King Edward VII in 1910. Under the Pax Britannica, western civilization reached its height, physically, mentally, and morally, with enormous advances and achievements in science and the arts. Then, in 1914, a disruption in one of the restive provinces of the Austro-Hungarian empire soon enough became a war to death among three relatives (George V, Kaiser Wilhelm II, and Czar Nicholas II, all of whom could trace their family ties by blood or marriage through...
  • At 11:25 in this video, a protestor who traveled to Egypt with a bunch of other protestors, asks an Egyptian law enforcement officer, “We could do it in America, why can’t we do it here?”

    At 11:25 in this video, a protestor who traveled to Egypt with a bunch of other protestors, asks an Egyptian law enforcement officer, “We could do it in America, why can’t we do it here?” I think that’s an excellent question. But I think his timing is horrible. He, as well as all of the other protestors, should have done some research on Egypt’s laws regarding protesting and immigration before they traveled to Egypt. And I’d say the same thing for any other country. Always research the laws in any country that you plan to visit, before you make your...

    President Trump began the Group of Seven (G7) summit Monday in Canada by arguing it was a mistake to kick Russia out of the organization more a decade ago. “The G7 used to be the G8. Barack Obama and a person named [former Canadian Prime Minister Justin] Trudeau didn’t want to have Russia in, and I would say that was a mistake, because I think you wouldn’t have a war right now if you had Russia in,” Trump said during his first meeting of the summit with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. Trump has made similar comments in the past....

In a quick turnaround, the Air Force identified and eliminated surface-to-air missile launch operatives seconds before they reached a launcher south of Tehran. The operatives were eliminated and the launcher was destroyed.
