Out-of-Control Teen Takeovers Now Sparking
Fear Across July 4 Weekend

As we move into this great weekend, a weekend that should be devoted to patriotic celebrations, fireworks, burgers on the grill and cold beers in the cooler, many of our major urban areas are instead having to worry about another wave of what's being euphemistically called "teen takeovers," or, in other words, riots, in which packs of feral youths invade the city streets, leaving destruction and mayhem in their wake. The cities affected are making an effort now to head these events off with a combination of technology and curfews. Will it work? That remains to be seen.

There is a foolproof and long-overdue solution to this, and other similar uncivilized and feral behaviors. Start with one or two, maybe three. The rest will lose their enthusiasm. Repeat as necessary.

The "teens" may be able to run wild in the streets - - but just wait until they get back home - - and have to face Dad. Their Dads are not going to tolerate such behavior. I'm guessing there won't be any dinner for them that night - - and Dad will probably cut their next allowance in half. And forget getting the car keys. Nothing scares a "teen" more - - than having to face an irate Dad.

A few rubber bullets into the crowd would work wonders. It is all fun and games until reality hits.

Explosive testimony before the House Oversight Committee’s Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets reveals decades of CIA crimes against unwitting Americans, evidence destruction, secret torture sites in Germany, and a continuing deep state effort to hide the truth from Congress and the American people. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) chaired a powerful hearing Tuesday titled “Mind Control and Accountability: Uncovering the Truth of the CIA’s MKULTRA Experiments,” dropping bombshell after bombshell on one of the darkest chapters in American intelligence history.

The two teen suspects wanted in the murder of Penn State student Billy Schmidt have been taken into custody. 22-year-old Billy Schmidt was studying journalism at Penn State and was set to graduate this December. Schmidt was killed last month as he was returning home from an NBA Finals watch party at a bar when the two armed suspects fatally shot him. The suspects, identified as 16-year-old Azzubair Outen-Fleming and Kaiseem Smith, 16, shot Schmidt in the chest in an attempted robbery ambush. Azzubair Outen-Fleming was arrested in Colorado on Friday. Kaiseem Smith turned himself in to the Philadelphia police.

For all its B-movie trappings, Citizen Vigilante is the first of its kind: a film that sees the migrant crisis in Europe as a crisis for Europeans. It is politically incorrect in the most provocative sense, and as such, was probably destined to be made by two people (director Uwe Boll and actor Armie Hammer) who have been routinely dragged through the mud and probably feel like they have nothing left to lose. If the oft-ridiculed Boll and the scandal-plagued Hammer are both at a point where they have stopped caring what people think of them, then the strident tone of Citizen Vigilante reflects a growing outrage many people

Homeowners in a southern California neighborhood were outraged Monday after their local Homeowners Association demanded they take down their American flag as Americans nationwide prepare to celebrate the nation's 250th birthday. Three homeowners in San Marcos, identified as Terri Collins, Amy Cooke and Chris Cooke, said their HOA warned them that they could face a $100 fine if they continued flying American flags outside their homes. “I’m not taking my flag down,” Collins said. “They can fine me, $100, $200, $1,000, I’m not paying it.” The local homeowners association attempted to describe the display of the American flag as "political" and has been pushing neighbors to take down their flags

Democratic socialists, high on their victories last Tuesday, are already calling out House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Gov. Kathy Hochul; the hard left’s hatred for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer was already well-established. So when will they get serious about fighting back? One election night DSA crowd shouted, “You’re next” when Jeffries (D-NY) showed his face; NYC DSA chief Gustavo Gordillo told the New York Times that Hochul “knows we’re coming for her.” Lefty candidates across the country talk of ousting Jeffries and Schumer (D-NY) from leadership, while regular Democrats wonder if they have what it takes to beat back the radicals.

The decisive primary sweep by NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s left-wing comrades gave Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez such an ego boost that Democratic insiders predict it could spur a White House bid in 2028. The “Squad’s” queen bee may ditch her long-anticipated plot to unseat Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for bigger game after three radical Mamdani-backed insurgents running for House seats on Tuesday defeated old-guard Dems, pushing the party even further left, the insiders said. “New York’s clean sweep was a political earthquake that shows voters generally want to shake up the system,” said Adam Green, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee.

Kath is going to face the reds’ wrath. Mayor Mamdani’s socialist cronies vowed to target Gov. Kathy Hochul to push her on their “tax the rich” crusade — as the comrades boasted they “control” the Big Apple. Democratic Socialists of America leader Gustavo Gordillo warned Hohcul that the emboldened far-left group will target her next after their candidates upset establishment Democrats in several key races in Tuesday’s party primaries. “She knows we’re coming for her,” Gordillo told the New York Times. The warning came after Mamdani-endorsed DSA congressional candidates Darializa Avila Chevalier and Claire Valdez, along with avowed progressive Brad Lander, swept their Democratic primary races Tuesday.

In addition, approximately 70 fence post tops were thrown into the pool," Lands said in a declaration.

A Somalian flag that was raised outside of Buffalo’s City Hall to commemorate Somali Independence Day was stolen in an overnight heist, the city’s leftist mayor decried. “The City of Buffalo’s flagpole in Niagara Square sustained damage after unknown vandals broke the access panel, cut the cable, and removed the Somali flag during the overnight hours of Wednesday, July 1,” Mayor Sean Ryan wrote on Facebook. Ryan said the Buffalo Police Department was investigating the alleged vandalism after the city approved non-profit HEAL International to raise the white star, blue flag on July 1. “The flag had been raised by an organization called Heal International in honor of Somalian Independence Day.

Sen. Mitch McConnell remains hospitalized, his office said in a statement Thursday — without offering details about a recent medical episode that has renewed concern about the health of the former Republican majority leader. McConnell “continues his recovery in the hospital” and “continues to improve,” his office said. “Senator McConnell appreciates the outpouring of support he’s receiving while he continues his recovery in the hospital,” the statement said. “The Senator continues to improve, and is working closely with his staff on Kentucky and Senate matters while the Senate is out of session.” The statement did not explain why he was hospitalized last month.

He might be even deader than Moqtaba Khameini, whom the Iranians still won’t show us. Actually, more than being dead, he’s a metaphor for the Bush Republican establishment which pretends that the Democrats are the same people they were when Bill Clinton was president and that it’s Trump who’s a threat to the status quo.

Texas Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico was caught on video describing a “Christofascism movement” as he criticized legislation restricting gender-affirming care for transgender minors and the state’s abortion law. During an appearance on Texas Impact’s Weekly Witness, Talarico argued that legislation restricting gender-affirming care for transgender minors and Texas’s abortion ban stemmed from what he called a “Christofascism movement.” (X) “You saw it in the anti-LGBTQ legislation, including the bill that would have denied gender-affirming health care to trans children,” Talarico said. “And then, of course, famously, infamously, we saw it last session with the most extreme abortion ban in the country. All of these ideologies stem from this Christofascism movement.”

Former Central Intelligence Agency Director John Brennan is suing the Trump administration and demanding a court order to require officials to preserve records of the criminal investigations against him. Brennan served as CIA director under former President Barack Obama from 2013 to 2017. In a court filing reviewed by Fox News Digital, Brennan asks the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to issue preliminary injunctive relief to "protect his constitutional rights as the current target of two federal investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice." Attorneys for Brennan assert that the DOJ has launched its investigations "at the direct urging of President Trump" and that the investigations amount to

Deep blue Massachusetts Democrats are mulling a bill that would give illegal aliens the power to sue immigration agents personally for daring to arrest them for breaking immigration laws. Despite the blatant unconstitutionality of the proposal, Bay State liberals are attempting to give illegals a path to attacking Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in their personal lives merely for doing their constitutionally approved job. The state’s Democrat-dominated legislature is currently working to reconcile the PROTECT Act, which would further hamstring state law enforcement from working with immigration officials. The bill also contains the provision to sue ICE agents personally, the Washington Examiner reports. Some cooler heads had prevailed in

As a result of third-world migration–some say, invasion–much of Western Europe is no longer recognizable. Mass third-world immigration is unpopular nearly everywhere, but European elites, being unhappy with their populaces, seem determined to replace them. Campaigners including Eva Vlaardingerbroek and Martin Sellner have proposed the Save Europe Act, which you can read about here. The proposal strikes me as entirely reasonable. It petitions the European Union to exercise its right of initiative to propose legislation that would declare a moratorium on non-European, non-Western immigration; fundamentally reform EU migration and asylum systems; ensure and accelerate the return of illegal migrants; establish an EU-wide framework to incentivize voluntary remigration; and remove

As New York baked under another summer heat wave, parts of the Riverdale neighborhood in the Bronx, home to a large Jewish community, lost power after Con Edison shut off electricity to protect its equipment. Con Edison announced the outages Thursday, saying it temporarily cut power to some customers in Riverdale to reduce strain on the electrical grid and speed up service restoration. The utility directed affected residents to report outages and seek relief at city cooling centers. The outages left parts of Riverdale sweating without air conditioning during a dangerous citywide heat wave. The timing also puts intense pressure on Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

Imagine being so consumed by hatred for Donald Trump and his immigration agenda that you would hand a full pardon to a man who sexually assaulted a 10-year-old girl for four years, just to keep him from being deported. You do not have to imagine it. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) actually did it. Last month, Walz pardoned Tou Lue Vang, a 42-year-old illegal immigrant convicted of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, wiping his record clean and shielding him from deportation to Laos. It’s bad enough that the pardon erased Vang's conviction entirely, but what makes it worse is that Walz did it to rescue him from the consequences that Trump's immigration enforcement
