Borough President Vito Fossella issued the following statement regarding the “immigrant enclaves” map recently released by the City:
“When did New York City go from a melting pot, to an empty pan?
That is the message sent by the City when it publishes a map of “immigrant enclaves” and leaves out numerous cornerstones in our City’s rich immigrant history.
The Italians of Little Italy and Arthur Avenue; The Irish of Gaelic Park and Little Ireland; the largest Jewish-American community in Borough Park - all left out. Also disregarded is Staten Island, the most Italian county in the United States, also home to one of the largest Sri Lankan communities in the world, and a growing number of Albanian, and Filipino immigrants, not to mention the many Puerto Rican families that moved and raised their families here.
Ignorance is not a good ingredient for highlighting the sacrifices of so many, who built this City and gave so much. Willful ignorance, however, is a deliberate failure to honor the memory of my family and millions of others.
Seemingly, there are those who are erasing our rich history and individuals that built the foundation for the City we call home.”
Prayers needed in Indiana 🙏🏽
Getting disrurbing reports that an Indiana State Trooper has been shot and was rushed to the hospital.
Condition unknown.
Please join us in praying for the Trooper 🙏🏽
Mayor Mamdani thinks that he is the face of the Democratic Party. He is the face of the radical communist movement. Mamdani is a Trojan horse and a puppet for the Muslim Brotherhood and the DSA. Sticking in your nose in the U.S. Senate race in Maine because you all flock with the commies. We have mayor who is a Jihad!
Meet Shannon Desherow, Assistant General Counsel for the State of Oklahoma.
She went on an unhinged meltdown, appearing to threaten ICE and saying she will NOT comply.
"I'm gonna make it an ICE agent's problem. I don't have to f*cking comply with ICE... we have to make their lives f*cking miserable."
This woman gets paid with our tax dollars.
She needs to be fired immediately @okla_oag
🚨 WTF?! Muslims are launching a FULL SHARIA LAW community in Little Rock, Arkansas requiring buyers to sign an "Islamic Bill of Assurance"
It's being called "New Africa" development and will be fully Sharia-controlled
THIS IS ILLEGAL! STRIKE IT DOWN.
You don’t just cross the border, enter magic dirt, have a child, and make that child fully American.
America is for Americans, and we’re going to keep it that way.
Female Texas Cop THREATENS to ticket a retired officer and Christian street preacher for "offensive speech"
Cop: "If someone is offended by your talking, then we have a problem..."
Man: "You're going to ticket us for 'offensive' speech?"
Cop: "Yes, I am"
This cop is blatantly violating the 1st Amendment
Mamdani-appointed commission recommends 18% pay raises for NYC elected officials while exploring plans to massively hike taxes!
A commission hand-picked by Mayor Zohran Mamdani has recommended giving New York City elected officials an 18.2% pay raise, the largest increase in a decade.
The Quadrennial Advisory Commission, appointed by Mamdani in March 2026 shortly after he took office, recommended salary bumps for the mayor, City Council members, borough presidents, the comptroller, public advocate, council speaker, and district attorneys. These would be the first raises since 2016.
Under the proposal:
➡The mayor’s salary would rise from $258,750 to $305,800.
➡City Council members would go from $148,500 to $175,500.
➡The Council Speaker would increase from $164,500 to $194,400.
➡The comptroller, public advocate, and borough presidents would also receive significant raises.
The recommendations now head to the City Council for approval.
This comes as Mamdani continues pushing higher taxes while his own appointed commission moves to increase compensation for the political class.
Pass this along so more people see how this is playing out in New York City.

🇺🇸 An HOA just declared war on the American flag. San Diego residents fired back.
Threatened with $100 fines to remove their flags, residents lawyered up instead. Resident Chris Cooke was clear: his grandfather died in World War II. That flag stays up.
Some symbols aren't negotiable. This is one of them.
Chicago teen who executed a USPS mail carrier delivering mail sentenced to just 5 years in juvenile detention!!
Octavia Redmond, a 48-year-old letter carrier, was gunned down in Chicago’s West Pullman neighborhood in July 2024. The then-15-year-old got out of a stolen vehicle and shot her multiple times at close range. He later pleaded guilty to first-degree m*rder.
Instead of being tried as an adult for cold-bloodedly killing a woman doing her job, he received only 5 years in juvenile detention. With good behavior, he could be back on the streets in roughly three and a half years.
This is what passes for justice in too many Democrat-run cities.
Pass this along so more people see how badly the system is failing to protect law-abiding citizens.

🚨 CHARLIE KIRK NAILED IT FLAWLESSLY:
"It's not Islamophobia to notice that a man who wants to globalize the intifada is about to run America's largest and once greatest city. It's not Islamophobia to notice that Muslims want to import values into the West that seek to destabilize our civilization...It's cultural suicide to stay silent."
Do NOT let this pro-Islam communist tell us who we are and what to do!
"Islamists do not believe in freedom of speech, period. You cannot question Muhammad, you cannot make fun of him, you cannot question the state."
"Islam is not compatible with Western civilization, period. I'm not talking about individual. We're talking about the macro ideology where many of them gather together and what that metastasizes into."
He was so spot-on 🙏🏻
🚨 HORRIFYING: A female police officer was surrounded and beaten by a mob during a July 4 block party in North Charleston, South Carolina. Police say multiple firearms and a makeshift spear were recovered.
Lock up every violent thug involved.
“Early this morning, an armed man walked up to a police vehicle and shot an NYPD Detective, leaving our brother wounded in the line of duty. In just three weeks, two NYPD Detectives have been shot and injured doing the job this city asks of them every single day. Nine years ago today, we stood in a hospital mourning Detective Miosotis Familia, who was assassinated simply for wearing the uniform. The dangers facing police have not gone away.
Yet there is no amount of danger that will stop NYPD Detectives or their fellow cops from running toward the threat to protect New Yorkers. The question is whether some elected officials will finally have the courage to stand with them, stop vilifying the police, and hold violent offenders fully accountable.
We thank God our brother is expected to recover, but our members should never have to wonder whether the people they risk their lives for will stand behind them. The DEA will never stop fighting for every Detective, every family, and every protection our members have earned.” - DEA President Scott Munro
7,000 ICE detainers.
So New York just RELEASED them.
Criminal aliens accused of 29 murders, 2,500 assaults, 300 robberies, 200 burglaries, and hundreds of sexual assaults RELEASED instead of turned over to federal immigration authorities.
ENOUGH.
Crossing our border illegally is not a golden ticket.
It doesn’t give you the right to stay.
It doesn’t guarantee you citizenship.
And it sure as hell doesn’t give you the right to prey on the American people.
Government exists to protect its own citizens first.
Americans deserve leaders who enforce the law, NOT leftwing “leaders,” that release dangerous offenders back into our communities.
Before the Crusades, two-thirds of the Christian world had already fallen under Islamic rule.
Your school probably skipped that part.
They taught you the Crusades began in 1095, as if Christians just woke up one morning and decided to march east for no reason.
But history did not begin in 1095.
By then, Islamic armies had already conquered massive portions of the Christian world:
Syria.
Egypt.
North Africa.
The Holy Land.
Spain.
In 711 AD, Islamic forces crossed into Spain.
By 732 AD, they had pushed all the way into France.
That is where Charles Martel met them at the Battle of Tours and stopped the advance into Western Europe.
Some historians consider it one of the most decisive battles in world history.
So when people talk about the Crusades without mentioning the 400 years before them, they are not giving you history.
They are giving you a narrative.
Were the Crusades complicated?
Of course.
Were Christians perfect?
No.
But the idea that the Crusades were some random act of Christian aggression is historically dishonest.
The real story begins long before 1095.
And once you know what happened before the Crusades, the entire conversation changes.
They buried this.
Now you know.
