Forget Miami Beach. A new Times Square billboard is wooing New Yorkers to move to Ohio to flee the threat of Mamdani-ism. It's put up by Vivek Ramaswamy, who's running for governor of the Buckeye State. But New Yorkers can take a deep breath. We don't have to move to Ohio to escape the Mamdani threat. The best remedy is to turn out to vote in November. New Yorkers alarmed by Zohran Mamdani's Marxist convictions, "defund the police" history and anti-Israel rhetoric keep insisting he's impossible to beat with so many candidates splitting the anti-Mamdani vote.

The fact that he is even a contender does not reflect well on New York. Throwing communists out of helicopters is far more advantageous to freedom than electing them. My generation knew that.

FTA: 'In the June primary, Mamdani's doorknockers were largely responsible for making turnout the largest in New York mayoral primary history. He also focused on registering new voters.' Commiecrats first move out of the box is usually: win by cheating. However, in really desperate times, they may resort to the unthinkable....win by fair means.

Maybe if a communist actually gets elected in NYC, Minneapolis, or wherever, then proceeds to implement their ignorant socialist ideas and destroys the city, will that be a lesson for all Americans?

The problem is his supporters and too many Americans want Free stuff. Not Freedom to earn a living, succeed or fail, but just Free stuff. Yes, he's a smooth talker, throws out the commie lines from MLK about all of God's children.... (cheap appeal to black voters). “Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all God’s children.” – MLK Speech to the Negro American Labor Council, 1961. source: https://mlkglobal.org/2017/11/23/martin-luther-king-on-capitalism-in-his-own-words/

Too late. Trump bad mouthed him causing democrats to, predictably, circle the wagons to enthusiastically support him. He will be the next mayor if for ANY other reason, to spite Trump.

She's got the right idea. Trump got 786,294 votes in NYC in 2024. Start with them. Giving up and doing nothing is not a plan.

Trump's First Six Months: Delivering Results,

A year ago, the American left was issuing dire warnings: if Donald Trump returned to the presidency, an authoritarian would enter the Oval Office and the republic would fall. Prominent Democrats declared he was a dictator in waiting, a modern-day Hitler who would shred the Constitution, abolish the rule of law, and install himself as an authoritarian strongman. Pundits warned that democracy itself was at stake. “This is how democracy dies,” they said. Cue the cellos. Six months into President Trump’s return to the White House, that hysterical narrative looks not only overwrought but absurd. Far from dismantling democracy,

Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum on Tuesday said her administration was considering the possibility of filing a legal complaint over the death of a migrant who fell to his death during an immigration raid at a cannabis farm in Camarillo. Jaime Alanís Garcia was hospitalized and later died after falling off a roof during an Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid in Camarillo. "Jaime was not just a farmworker, he was a provider, and a human being who deserved dignity. His death is not an isolated tragedy. It is the result of a targeted raid at Glass House Farms.

The Senate voted this morning to claw back $1.1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which provides funding for NPR, PBS, and local stations. Pending final approval in the House, the federal government will, after more than half a century, no longer be in the business of supporting NPR. The vote is a victory for Republicans who have long had National Public Radio (NPR) in their sights. But it is also a victory for those of any political stripe who believe the government has no business funding the media.

An illegal immigrant and mother was arrested for staging a fake “kidnapping” — where bounty hunters took her at gunpoint and tried forcing her to self-deport at a fast-food restaurant — to scam people and “smear federal law enforcement.” Yuriana Julia “Juli” Pelaez Calderon, 41, was charged with conspiracy and making false statements to federal officers over the elaborate scheme on Thursday, according to the Department of Justice. “Dangerous rhetoric that ICE agents are ‘kidnapping’ illegal immigrants is being recklessly peddled by politicians and echoed in the media to inflame the public and discredit our courageous federal agents,” US Attorney Bill Essayli said in a statement.

Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani is giving business leaders fair warning: He promised he’d tax them and wealthy New Yorkers if elected — and he means to keep that promise. He basically dared them to leave the city if he did. Say goodbye to city tax revenue and jobs and hello to a downward spiral, if that happens. On Tuesday, the Dem front-runner met with 100 of the city’s top business leaders and made absolutely no attempt to hide his plans. “He didn’t back away from any policy position,” one attendee told The Post.

The House early on Friday approved legislation allocating roughly $832 billion in funding for defense programs for fiscal year 2026, just weeks after Republicans approved a separate $150 billion plan to advance President Trump’s defense priorities. The GOP-led chamber approved the bill 221-209, mostly along party lines. Five Democrats voted in favor of the bill, while three Republicans opposed it.The measure marks only the second appropriations bill that Republicans have been able to pass for 2026, after GOP appropriators said the effort to pass Trump’s tax and spending cuts megabill dominated the party’s focus over the past few months.

Somebody turned the Kremlin bluster machine up to 11 following President Donald Trump's 50-day ultimatum to agree to a ceasefire with Ukraine — or else. My PJ Media colleague Matt Margolis covered the "or else" earlier today, but the executive summary is that unless Moscow agrees to a ceasefire within 50 days, Trump will impose a 100% tariff on exports from Russia and countries that buy Russian oil — targeting major buyers like China, India, Brazil, Turkey, and Europe, too. There's also a heavy sanctions bill working its way through the Senate that Trump says he's warming to.

New Yorkers on the street were asked about radical Muslim socialist Zohran Mamdani's recent victory in the state's Democratic primary race and his agenda. The answers they gave should scare the hell out of all Democrats. Speaking on Wednesday to Fox News' "The Faulkner Focus," ordinary people in the city were interviewed about Mamdani, and it was clear that not one of them plans to vote for the candidate when he faces off in November against former Democratic New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and incumbent NY Mayor Eric Adams.

The Democratic Party’s approval rating is underwater at 40 percent, according to a new poll, the latest troubling sign for a party still grappling with its losses from November. A Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll released on Monday found that only 4 in 10 respondents approved of the job that the Democratic Party is doing, a slight drop from June, when 42 percent of respondents answered similarly. Of the 40 percent of respondents who gave the Democratic Party a thumbs-up, they included 72 percent of Democrats and 29 percent of independent or other voters.

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) was issued a subpoena over comments he made in February, implying that he was sheltering an illegal alien in his home, according to a New York Times report. Several people “with knowledge of the matter” told the outlet that U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey Alina Habba was “pursuing an investigation” into Murphy’s comments. Two of the sources clarified that Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents had “sought to interview at least four witnesses in connection with the comments,” while another person stated that Murphy “had been subpoenaed”:

California Gov. Gavin Newsom claimed that he did not want to bulldoze the remains of burned-down Palisades houses and replace them with low-income housing. But that is apparently exactly what he’s doing now, with the help of the California legislature—and Donald Trump’s special missions envoy is furious. Richard Grenell accused Newsom of lying about his fire recovery goals. Newsom had scoffed, “The claim that the Governor wants to bulldoze fire victims’ neighborhoods and replace them with ‘affordable housing’ is absurd.” But he just announced over $100 million for building low-income housing in the area of the Palisades and other burned areas, as a bill moves through the California

But it’s been tried in other cities around the country and has had some real successes.” Warren stated that Mamdani “said, we’ve got a problem with entire food deserts where people can’t get access to grocery stores. He said, I’d like to take a look at whether or not we can have some kind of — like we do on military bases — you have some kind of support from the city government

After more than three decades on air, CBS announced on Thursday that its famed "Late Show" franchise is coming to a close. "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" will officially come to an end in May 2026, according to the network, which said the decision to end the show was a financial one. "This is purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night," George Cheeks, the president of CBS and co-chief executive of Paramount, CBS's parent company, wrote in a press release. "It is not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount."

Zohran Mamdani is running for mayor of New York City at exactly the right time in American history. The confluence of a shattered Democratic Party, an electorate wild for change, and a bitterly divided opposition will make the 33-year-old socialist the next mayor of New York City. As long as he doesn't self-destruct, that is. We're going to see if Mamdani can keep his foot out of his mouth in the next three and a half months and avoid making his support of an "intifada" against Jews any larger of a campaign issue than it already is. Otherwise, there doesn't appear to be anything that can stop his election victory.

Salem Radio host Charlie Kirk peeled back the layers of the ongoing controversy surrounding the Epstein files. President Trump went nuclear on those pressing what he calls the Epstein hoax. Kirk expounded extensively on what he thinks is the rationale behind Trump’s moves on this matter. It’s worth a listen. In short, Trump doesn’t want a repeat of 2017, when he had to essentially quarantine his attorney general, which led to the Mueller probe and the derailing of his first administration. Kirk argues that’s not what the base wants;

Alan Dershowitz, a renowned constitutional lawyer and former counsel for Jeffrey Epstein, who has been a thorn in the side of the party he votes for when it comes to all things Trump, is spilling his guts about Epstein. So let's dig through the entrails and see what he is talking about. Dershowitz claims that there is no list, which makes sense. My mother used to play the daily numbers with a bookie while working in a factory back in the 1980s. She once asked the bookie why he doesn't write down the numbers. He told her a written list could send him to jail,

A “bawdy” letter to Jeffrey Epstein bearing President Donald Trump’s signature was included in an album of letters Epstein received for his 50th birthday in 2003, The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday evening, citing documents reviewed by the newspaper. The letter, which the Journal said Trump sent at the request of Epstein’s friend Ghislaine Maxwell, would have been written 16 years before the Justice Department charged the now-dead Epstein with child sex trafficking in 2019, during Trump’s first term in office. The missive, which Trump denied having written, came to light as the president angrily tries to tamp down
