Zohran Mamdani offered a group of new citizens his dark view of Independence Day. Instead of "rockets' red glare" or "purple mountain majesties," he described "oligarchs who buy elections," "children go to sleep hungry,"  "monopolies that dominate every industry, and oligarchs who buy elections." Oh, and of course "masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by our undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans."...

The response to my proposal to replace Ben Proto as GOP party chair and go with a bold plan to win in November is huge . Thank you for the offers to help. Please bombard your Republican Town meeting with letters and calls to replace Proto. We need bold leadership to oust Lefty Lamont and the Dems this November. More battle plans will follow soon.

Obama stood at his own presidential center and told the crowd the Founders “fell terribly short” on slavery while leaving the rest of the story on the cutting room floor.

He didn’t mention that slavery wasn’t some American invention. It was practiced for thousands of years across every continent. He didn’t mention that white men ... and 360,000 Union soldiers who mostly never owned slaves ... were the ones who actually ended it here through a brutal civil war.

He also didn’t mention what Thomas Sowell has documented for decades: more whites were brought as slaves to North Africa than Blacks were brought to the United States and the 13 colonies combined.

At least a million Europeans were enslaved by North African Muslim pirates between 1500 and 1800 alone, with some still being sold on auction blocks in Egypt years after Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation.

And while we’re on the subject of modern reality, the Global Slavery Index reported roughly 7 million people living in modern slavery in Africa in 2021 ... about 5.2 per 1,000 people. That’s not ancient history. That’s right now.

So why is the only acceptable story the one where America is uniquely and permanently stained, while the far larger, longer, and ongoing global record gets memory-holed the second it complicates the narrative?

If the goal was actually historical honesty instead of selective guilt, wouldn’t the full picture be required instead of the same truncated sermon?

Senator Elizabeth Warren encouraged donations to LA wildfire relief, directing donors via an ActBlue page tied to her Senate campaign.

ActBlue charges a standard 3.95% processing fee.

Warren said 100% of donations (after fees) would go to the LA Fire Department Foundation and United Way.

She lied.

Democrats are fine with requiring photo ID to enter the Obama Presidential Center, but not to vote in U.S. elections.

You can’t make this up.

[CT Senate Republicans @CTSenateGOP]

Another Lamont administration scandal? Yes indeed. Add it to the list.

PURA has now admitted that former Chairman and Lamont appointee Marissa Gillett broke numerous Connecticut laws. She made unilateral decisions and passed them off as rulings of the full agency.

Lies. Deception. A disdain for transparency.

Last year, Senate Republicans took an unprecedented stand. We boycotted the vote on Gillett’s re-nomination and walked out of the Senate Chamber in protest of the backroom deal that put her there.

That decision is looking better and better.

Gov. Lamont, this happened on your watch. Hold a press conference. Tell overburdened taxpayers and ratepayers your thoughts on this latest insult.

We’re still waiting…

I’m being pressured to STOP talking about the SAVE America Act

& they don’t want me to return to South Dakota.

I won’t be bullied & I cannot be bought.

Due to these bullying attempts, I’m also looking at coming to Sturgis.

[Ryan Fazio for Governor @ryanfazio]

Gov. Lamont literally changed headlines to try to trick you into thinking he’s working to lower energy costs.

But even the media is calling him out for it.

After eight years in office and passing proposals that increase your electricity bills over and over again, he says he’ll fix it if you give him four more!

It won’t take me eight years as governor to come up with a plan—I’ve had a plan for years and have fought for it every day as the leading Republican on the Energy Committee.

When I’m governor, I’ll always give it to you straight and I’ll start working to cut the hidden taxes in your electricity bills on day one.

[🇺🇸RealRobert🇺🇸 @Real_RobN]

This is:

U.S. Representative and Chairman of the House DOGE Subcommittee, Tim Burchett,

confirms: the “racket”—the U.S. Congress has built the single largest racket empire on Earth: NGOs.

Congress is laundering millions of dollars of Americans’ hard-earned money to Democrat billionaire donors, tied directly to NGOs—including the terrorist organization the United Nations.

@timburchett:

“NGOs — here’s what happens. You’ve got these billionaires who hate our guts and want to destroy everything we stand for. They’ll put a million dollars into some group with a fancy name—Feed the Children. A million dollars is nothing to them, just pennies on the dollar.

Then they apply for federal money, and some unelected bureaucrat in Washington says, ‘Oh, they’ve got a million dollars—man, they’re legit.’ So they literally end up putting billions upon billions of dollars into these things.

Afghanistan alone has over a thousand non-governmental organizations operating there. When you add in UN operations, the number could reach multiple thousands of organizations working there—much of it bogus.”

June 10, 2026:

John Thune: “You said it passed in the House? I have not seen it.”

The “Taliban bill,” Rep. Tim Burchett’s No Tax Dollars for Terrorists Act (H.R. 260), passed the U.S. House on June 23, twenty twenty-five.

Hey Jasmine…

Black pilot here.

I think you missed the plot.
Then again, that’s becoming a pattern.

I graduated from West Point.
I went through Army flight school.
I learned to fly the AH-64 Apache.
I deployed to combat and flew 55 combat missions over Baghdad.

Nobody handed me a cockpit because of my skin color.

Nobody lowered the standards for me.

Nobody looked at me and said, “Let’s check a diversity box.”

That’s what people like you don’t seem to understand.

Suggesting that Black pilots, Black engineers, Black doctors, or Black leaders need special preferences to succeed is not empowering, it’s insulting.

I didn’t want a different standard.
I wanted the same standard.

And when you’re flying into combat, the American people don’t care what race the pilot is.

They care whether the pilot is qualified.

Merit isn’t racist.
Excellence isn’t discriminatory.

And reducing every achievement to skin color says far more about your worldview than it does about mine.

[Secretary Kennedy @SecKennedy]

Sheryl. Your article exemplifies the biased reporting we have come to expect from you and @nytimes. It was unfair, inimical, and inaccurate. All one needs to refute your argument is to glance at my publicly available calendar and to review my unprecedented list of accomplishments on a wide range of issues, all of which I drove. You evidently never undertook these foundational due diligences. Why let facts obscure a good story?

You fault me for missing a couple of monthly counselor meetings. However, I meet one-on-one with my counselors every day to decide policy and strategy. We schedule the monthly meetings to give the divisions a chance to keep each other informed about HHS-wide policies with which I’m already intimately familiar. Had you read my calendar, you would have seen that I have back-to-back meetings all day, every day, with both career and political staff, with my counselors and with outside stakeholders, interspersed with press conferences and other policy announcements.

I am knowledgeable and active on every issue in every division of my department, and I always make the final decisions. I meet with the principals at FDA, NIH, CDC, and my senior counselor every morning, something, I’m told, is unprecedented in HHS history. I try to get out of the office between 4:30 and 6:00 PM, so that I can spend three hours, in quiet, responding to emails. I normally work until 11 PM every night, mostly on phone calls to staff.

In order to prove your preconceived case for my disengagement, you quote anonymous employees, some of whom I fired or who quit to avoid being fired. You also deceptively quote HHS employees without identifying whether they were among those I fired, thereby depriving your readers of the opportunity to make an independent judgment about their credibility.

I came into this job to change the culture of a broken agency that has presided over the worst decline in public health in American history. Of course I fired people—lots of them! It's an easy task for even the laziest journalist, to comb that flotsam and jetsam for malevolence toward the Trump administration. And of course, this species of journalist will always be able to find disgruntled individuals among the 70,000 employees of the Department from whom to cherry pick "facts" to flesh out a preordained hit piece. All that is required for this brand of journalism is the ethical elasticity that you seem to have in spades. You had a preconceived thesis, and you set out to prove it. This is a widely accepted technique in journalism today, but I grew up in an era when it would not have been tolerated by the New York Times.

Ultimately, God puts us all on this earth to search for existential truths. I've tried to instill this mission at HHS by implementing gold standard research to end the regime of politicized science that COVID exposed to the American public. There was a time that journalists were proud to be the fearless and uncompromising champions of truth. Standards have devolved, and journalism is dead. The Times now employs propagandists. Your capitulation to partisanship further compounds your journalistic challenges; since we all are aware of your predictable bias, we at HHS are unwilling to talk to you about the topics that are important. The fact that you have minimal access to decision makers leaves you covering trivia and relying on your own capacity for invention.

Btw. When I took this job, the building was empty. About 90% of the employees were not coming to work. I changed that, but your newspaper never covers my reforms. Nor did you cover the fact that my predecessor almost never showed up for work here during his four years in office. When we came in, there were still artifacts from the first Trump administration in many of our office drawers because no one showed up for work during the Biden years. Just as Rochelle Walensky spent her entire term as CDC Director in Cambridge, Xavier Becerra reportedly spent most of his term as HHS Secretary in California. (I live in California, but I’ve only been there once in fifteen months).

His only notable accomplishments here were losing 300,000 children, referred to HHS for custody and care, to human traffickers and drug runners, encouraging transgender surgeries, and disabling the entire program-integrity apparatus, allowing hundreds of billions of dollars of theft from my agency. I have set out to find the children Becerra lost. He is now the front-runner for the governor of California. These are not invented stories; they are genuine scandals that the Times will never cover, presumably, because the malefactors are Democrats.

Finally, you criticize me for spending time with the Indian tribes in Alaska. I consider that part of my job. I run the Indian Health Services, and I’ve had unprecedented success in transforming IHS from a backwater to a top priority for this department. I’ve made more trips to Indian country and to Indian health clinics and hospitals than any HHS secretary in history, and I’ve brought Indians into high positions on the sixth floor for the first time in agency history. This is another success story that the Times will never cover.

$2.25 million fine. Up to 5 years in prison.

Feeding Our Future Ringleader Sentenced to 500 Months

Aimee Bock has been sentenced to 500 months in prison for her lead role in a $250 million fraud scheme that exploited a federally funded child nutrition program during the COVID-19 pandemic, announced U.S. Attorney Daniel N. Rosen. On April 7, the Department of Justice announced the creation of the National Fraud Enforcement Division (“Fraud Division”). The Fraud Division is laser-focused on investigating and prosecuting those who commit fraud against the American people. The Department’s work to combat fraud supports President Trump’s Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, a whole-of-government effort chaired by Vice President J.D. Vance to eliminate fraud, waste, and abuse within Federal benefit programs.

As proven at trial, Aimee Bock, 44, was the founder and executive director of Feeding Our Future, a nonprofit organization that was a sponsor participating in the Federal Child Nutrition Program. Salim Said, 36, former co-owner of Safari Restaurant, was jointly tried with Bock. Together, they oversaw a massive fraud scheme carried out by sites under Feeding Our Future’s sponsorship.

[Hon. Vickie Paladino @VickieforNYC]

Let's understand a few things about what's actually about to happen here if Zohran gets his way -- which he almost certainly will, unless courts intervene.

First and foremost, Cea Weaver and DSA 'organizers' will be unleashed with the full institutional and legal support of the city government to ramp up tenant complaints in targeted buildings. No complaint will be too small. No building will be too small. Everything will be treated as catastrophic. Full-scale demagoguery will ensue, complete with protests, rent strikes, street theater, and harassment of property owners.

Accordingly, the city buildings department will be weaponized to begin writing as many violations as possible in order to bolster the city's effort to justify a seizure. It won't matter how small or large the violations are, the total number will be breathlessly cited as evidence of mismanagement. It will be impossible for landlords to clear these violations in good faith.

The combination of a weaponized buildings department writing hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines, rent strikes, and constant threats and harassment against landlords by militant activists will make the situation untenable for any property owner to realistically fight back, and the city will seize the property. The landlord will be lucky to walk away without prison or being beaten to death in the street by an angry mob (as Zohran's buddy Hasan Piker referred to landlords -- 'let the streets run red with their capitalist blood').

But that's only the first half of the plan, and everyone needs to pay very close attention to the big picture here, because it's hugely important and has national implications.

The properties will then be turned over to nonprofits. This is no small detail. This is in fact the whole point.

The idea here is to build up Zohran's DSA-connected nonprofits with a multbillion-dollar portfolio of hard assets -- New York City real estate. This portfolio could theoretically reach into the hundreds of billions or even the trillions, depending on how aggressive they get.

Now these highly political nonprofits would become the new land barons of New York, complete with all the political clout, leverage, and reach that goes along with it. It would be a true nightmare scenario.

As it stands now, the nonprofits depend mostly on the largesse of grants, donations, and other third-party resources to stay afloat. They are lavishly funded of course, and many do hold significant assets, but it would all pale in comparison to simply handing them the keys to a New York City real estate empire, courtesy of Zohran Mamdani and the DSA.

The resources at their disposal would be immense. The organizing potential that goes along with those resources will have national implications. Every DSA candidate in every town and city in the country would be trained, funded, and staffed by organizers with ties to the NYC nonprofit empire backed by a trillion dollars in free real estate. And they would be shameless in leveraging those resources for pure political power.

That's the game plan here. That's the whole ball of wax.

Zohran isn't interested in making housing better for anyone. If he was, we'd be talking seriously about solving the NYCHA disaster.

Hell, if he was even remotely sincere about seizing these properties from 'bad landlords' for the 'public good' he'd be focused on turning them over to the city itself, as misguided as that would be.

No, this is about nothing more than consolidating political power for the DSA. Just like everything else these people do. Giving the DSA a massive war chest backed by seized real estate.

Once you understand that they have no interest in fixing anything other than elections, it all makes a lot more sense.
