A bigwig on Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s transition team spewed hatred against Jews and Israel and questioned gay rights in a series of hateful social media posts from a decade ago.
Hassaan Chaudhary, who identifies himself as newly appointed political director for Mamdani’s transition and inaugural committee on LinkedIn, used the word “Jew” as a slur, and even praised former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who infamously said Israel is “a cancer which will be eliminated soon.”
Chaudhary, who was the director of Muslim engagement for the Mamdani campaign, also described Israel as a “bloody country”
President Trump said Sunday that House Republicans should vote to release the files related to late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein — a surprising reversal after previously dissuading the GOP from backing the measure.
“House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party,” he wrote on Truth Social Sunday evening.
A discharge petition for the House to vote to force the Justice Department to release all additional Epstein files received its final signature on Wednesday.
The Republican Party should be a big tent, but that big tent shouldn’t include Democrats or Democrat collaborators. Members of our party, from weakness, malice, or delusions of moral superiority, have been betraying us left and right lately, with political mediocrities empowered by the fact that the margins are so close and the issues are so important that even the most ridiculous of these alleged Republicans can seize a moment of outsized power simply by sucking up to the regime media. Much of the focus lately has been on marginal twerps who aren’t even Republicans – that malignant rodent Nick Fuentes makes no bones about hating the GOP,
Federal Reserve Governor Stephen Miran told Fox News that deportations are slowing inflation.
"A significant amount of the inflation that we experienced for years is because we through millions of new people into the country without sufficiently expanding the housing stock and sufficient expansion of other forms of fixed capital," Miran said.
He continued: "The truth is that they're living somewhere, and that's a place where other people in America aren't living, and that was inflationary."
"Cutting down net migration to zero, potentially even negative because of the deportations that have been occurring, I think, is very deflationary."
Democrats spent four years not lifting a finger to release the Epstein files, but when they found a weapon against Trump, suddenly they’re pretending to be all about transparency.
The problem is, their gambit just blew up in their faces.
President Trump called their bluff Sunday night, posting on Truth Social that House Republicans should vote to release the files. "House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide," Trump wrote.
The statement is a true masterclass in political chicken. Democrats want the public to believe they've got dirt on Trump when they really don’t.
One of the suppurating sores that still bedevil our body politic in the aftermath of COVID-19 is the ongoing abuse of mail-in voting. Absentee ballots have long been available to a small number of voters, of course. But, during the pandemic, many states used public safety as a pretext to dramatically expand eligibility for mail-in voting and to extend the deadlines for receiving these ballots. (snip) This inevitably creates concerns about election integrity. Consequently, it was only a matter of time before the U.S. Supreme Court would be required to decide if post-election vote counting violates federal law.
