Yes, He's a Communist

Zohran Mamdani says he is not a Communist. We'll come back to that claim in a moment, but first, let me remind you that he also says he's not a supporter of defunding the police. He calls that allegation a fear tactic and a right-wing smear from MAGA billionaires. But he's called for NYPD to be defunded many, many times. In other words, he sees the reading of his own quotes aloud as something of a sinister lie, or whatever. Look at his assertion in a recent mayoral debate below, then compare that to what he's said. Repeatedly. And publicly.

Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani has a lot of dumb ideas. Of course, these days that’s pretty much assumed when you hear the words “Democratic mayoral nominee.”
But — though the competition is stiff — the dumbest of his ideas may be his plan for government-run grocery stores. In fact, it’s so obviously a terrible idea that even Democrats seem to know it.
So there must be another agenda, and I think I know what it is.
Business owners across New York City and the nation have denounced Mamdani’s plan as a Soviet-style disaster.
“You can’t force us to pay taxes and then be our adversary,” said Bronx bodega owner Rafael Garcia.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will travel to the United States next week to meet with President Donald Trump and key members of his Cabinet, his office announced Tuesday.
“These (meetings) come in the wake of the great victory that we achieved in Operation Rising Lion,” Netanyahu said at the start of a government meeting. Netanyahu said Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth are also included in the talks. Netanyahu to travel to US for meetings with Trump, Vance
As has often been said, the corporate press are nothing if not a predictable lot, and that has certainly been the case in the aftermath of Democrat Socialist Zohran Mamdani's apparent Democrat mayoral primary victory in New York City, with the swooning commencing even before former NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo conceded defeat.We reported earlier, for instance, on how definitive proof existed well before the primary took place that the left's/MSM's latest "flavor of the month" was a genuine communist. And yet, instead of focusing on how troublesome it was that the guy who wants to be mayor of one of America's most iconic cities essentially wanted to destroy it,
Two weeks ago I wrote about the Antifa riot that took place outside a Portland ICE facility. Here's a bit of what that looked like.(Snip)
Three people were arrested but since then things haven't calmed down. Last Tuesday there were more arrests, including one woman who was charged with a felony for throwing a large knife at ICE agents who approached her as she was trying to light some kind of incendiary device.
Julie Winters, 46, was one of three people arrested Tuesday during ongoing demonstrations at the South Portland office to protest President Trump’s immigration policies...
Last Friday’s Supreme Court ruling in Trump v. CASA finally ended what many of the President’s supporters saw as a “judicial insurrection.” Upon assuming office, President Trump issued a number of executive orders involving a variety of issues. They were immediately challenged by lawsuits filed in a select group of district courts, virtually all of which issued universal injunctions that seriously impeded implementation of the President’s agenda. Such injunctions have long been criticized by numerous legal scholars and several members of the U.S. Supreme Court, including Justice Kagan.
How Trump Surprised Hawks and Doves

President Trump may be a second-term president now, but he hasn’t lost his penchant for surprising critics and supporters alike. No one could be sure what he would do about the Israel-Iran war. Had he played a role in setting it up, by duping the Iranians into believing he wanted to strike a “deal” to arrest their nuclear-weapons program? Or was he negotiating in good faith and blindsided by Israel? Would he involve America in the war or not? And if he did, would regime change in Tehran be his goal?
The former Vice President and Democratic Party’s failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris is strongly considering tossing herself into the California gubernatorial race. Quoting undisclosed sources, The Hill reported that the race has given Kamala a “renewed sense of excitement,” putting a “glimmer in her eyes.”(Snip)“She has a lot of people in her ear telling her that it makes the most sense and she can do the most good,” the source spilled. However, the outlet cautioned that Kamala has not “made a final decision yet and is still considering all her options.” Nonetheless, the former Vice President “says she has made it clear that she is not done with public service
For the last two weeks, the Protection Racket Media has salivated over the "civil war" in MAGAworld over Donald Trump's handling of the Iran-Israel war. Media orgs have made any debate among Republicans over the options into a sign that Trump's support would soon collapse, and that his political leverage would dissipate with it. We have heard more about Thomas Massie in two weeks than we've heard about any one non-leadership congressman not named Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in months.
One year ago this month, attendees packed the 7,100 seats inside the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles to watch a parade of A-list celebrities — George Clooney! Julia Roberts! Barbra Streisand! — unite in a common goal: to raise more money for President Biden’s re-election campaign than had ever before been tallied for a single fundraising event. By that standard, the evening was a smashing success: Over $30 million, a record, was raised.“How important the event was to his re-election bid could be seen,” the Associated Press reported, “in Biden’s decision to fly through the night across nine time zones, from the G7

Honors in the Latest Round of Dysfunctional Media? 4 replies
We began last week with the lingering effects of the neutered “No Kings” protests, which must be considered to have been effective; we have no king in the country! As the week wore on there were a number of petty and bitter news items emerging, all done to throw more criticisms at the Trump administration.Then of course it culminated in the bombing mission in Iran, which we all knew would deliver dysfunctional reporting and reactions. So let’s tug on the hip waders and begin trudging through the swamp that is our media complex and determine who took top (bottom) honors this week.
No, Trump Didn’t Violate the War Powers Act

It was hardly necessary to consult Nostradamus to know that the Democrats would denounce President Trump’s decision to bomb three Iranian nuclear sites on Saturday. Nonetheless, the combination of hypocrisy, historical illiteracy, and constitutional ignorance that characterized their reaction to the raid was startling even by Democrat standards. Several actually claimed that Trump somehow committed an impeachable offence by ordering the strikes, though none seemed able to specify any “high crimes” or “misdemeanors.” Some insisted that Trump violated the War Powers Act.

The University of Pennsylvania has agreed to ban transgender women from participating in its women's sports programs, resolving a federal civil rights investigation centered on swimmer Lia Thomas. The U.S. Department of Education announced the agreement Tuesday, saying the university violated Title IX by allowing Thomas to compete in women's events.
The case marks a significant moment in the Trump administration's broader push to restrict transgender athletes from competing in girls' and women's sports. As part of the resolution, Penn will reinstate Division I swimming records and titles to female athletes displaced by Thomas's victories and issue personalized apology letters to each of them.
Pity poor Jaguar. The British-based luxury and performance carmaker has had a rough go of it this century, but nothing could prepare anyone for the most bone-headed move in corporate history — and I don't mean Jaguar's woke "Reimagine" ad from late last year.
Let me bring you up to speed.
As recently as 2018, Jaguar sold 180,833 cars annually. Last year, they sold fewer than 33,000. In April — the most current sales figures available — Jag sold just 49 cars in the massive UK/Europe market. U.S. sales figures aren't available yet, but they aren't any better.
Jaguar went from selling 1,961 cars a month to 49 in just six years.
“Millions will die” [Updated]

From the U.K. Daily Mail,
More than 14 million people could die as a result of Donald Trump’s foreign aid cuts, a new study has found.
The US President’s administration announced it had slashed 83 per cent of programmes run by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) shortly after he returned to the White House for a second term.
And now research published in the leading medical journal, Lancet, has predicted that 14 million people – 4.5 million of whom are children under the age of five – could die by 2030 as a result.

New Yorkers faced the choice of a miscreant former governor and a radical Democrat socialist for the position of mayor in the Democrat primary. Prior to Zohran Mamdani’s election in the primary, his absurd and speculative plans to provide all kinds of freebies to the citizenry were the talk of the town:
Mamdani’s platform focused on a number of issues that have animated socialists in the Democratic Party, including raising the minimum wage, hiking taxes on corporations and wealthy Americans, cracking down on delivery apps, as well as investing in affordable housing and creating city-owned grocery stores.
His campaign proposes a new minimum wage law that would raise the wage floor for
On July 4th, the movie “Sinners” will become the first show to be interpreted into “Black American Sign Language (BASL),” per a press release from Warner Bros.
The entertainment company described it as “a major step forward in accessibility, representation, and visibility in streaming.”
“BASL is a distinct dialect of American Sign Language (ASL) with its own dynamic history and unique grammar, signing space, rhythm, facial expressions, and cultural nuances,” the release stated. “For the first time, the Black Deaf community will have streaming access to a more

It was a surprising statement from Attorney General Pam Bondi as the Trump administration promises to release more files from its sex trafficking investigation of Jeffrey Epstein: The FBI, she said, was reviewing “tens of thousands of videos” of the wealthy financier “with children or child porn.”
The comment, made to reporters at the White House days after a similar remark to a stranger with a hidden camera, raised the stakes for President Donald Trump’s administration to prove it has in its possession previously unseen compelling evidence.
When he's not assisting with taking out Iran's nuclear capabilities, revoking visas from those who support terrorism, or helping the president broker peace in Africa, he's looking after your tax dollars.
"The era of government-sanctioned inefficiency is OVER. From now on, our foreign assistance programs will be accountable to the American taxpayer," Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on X today. The post was accompanied by a lengthy Substack essay called "Make Foreign Aid Great Again."
It appears that USAID is officially dead.
The Democrats are now implacably self-destructive. They resemble nothing so much as a slowly capsizing ship, but show by their frenzied skullduggery that America is not in decline -- the opposition is rotten and hopeless but it still fights savagely. I hope readers will pardon a recitation of the party's gradual floundering. They pushed the nation into Vietnam, mismanaged the war, and deserted their own president (Lyndon Johnson), and when President Nixon saved their war, they crucified him on what can now be seen as the utterly absurd Watergate nonsense.
I appreciate even more now what Trump meant when he said that Elon is wearing thin. After a brief truce, the pluto-crat who wants to go to Mars is at it again. He is threatening to primary members of Congress who vote for the BBB.
He’s also teasing a new America Party as an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty. Some may consider that a good idea — in theory. In practice, under the influence of mercurial Musk, it could create more problems than it solves, for, while Trump is a stable genius, Musk is an unstable one.
Unlike the forgiving, magnanimous, and sagacious Trump (who’ll meet with
A federal judge on Wednesday blocked President Trump’s policy banning illegals who cross the border from seeking asylum.
US District Judge Randolph Moss, an Obama appointee, said President Trump does not have the authority to bypass immigration law that Congress has enacted.
Earlier this year, the anti-American ACLU and Las Americas Immigrant Advocacy Center sued the Trump Administration over its asylum policy.
Judge Moss stayed his order for 14 days so the Trump Administration can file an appeal.

senator decided to vote for Donald Trump’s bill 15 replies
Just after midnight, Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski was pacing in a Senate hallway, alone and looking concerned.
It had suddenly become clear to all her Republican colleagues that her vote would be their best chance of passing President Donald Trump’s sweeping bill of tax and spending cuts. Had she decided whether she would support the bill? “No,” Murkowski said, shaking her head and putting her hand up to signal that she didn’t want to answer any questions.
Around 12 hours later, after she had convinced Senate leaders to change the bill to benefit her state and voted for the legislation, ensuring its passage,
Zohran Mamdani was officially certified as the winner of the June 24 New York City Democratic mayoral primary on Tuesday. He defeated former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on his way to a victory that is still sending shockwaves through the Democratic Party establishment and beyond. Now, the debate rages over who Mamdani really is. Is he antisemitic or just pro-Palestinian? Is he anti-ICE or just pro-immigrant? However, one thing seems to be increasingly clear. Mamdani is a serious Marxist and that should concern anyone in New York City.
