Mamdani Is the Real Racist Polluting This Country
Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 7/7/2026 7:45:38 PM
On July 3, the mayor of New York, Zohran Mamdani—and I don’t quite know why the mayor seems to think he speaks for the entire nation—but he wanted to give a Fourth of July speech to the nation at large. It wasn’t a speech; it was an indictment. And what I could condense his speech [down to], it was essentially that America was ruled by white racists, and they had been very unfair in the past to everyone but themselves, including people, as he said, quote-unquote, the rest of us. He included himself in the group of people supposedly who had calloused hands, who did the work, but they

Derek Chauvin’s attorney, Gregory Joseph, has filed a notice of appeal with the Minnesota Court of Appeals.
Joseph—who did not represent Chauvin during his initial state trial—has been representing him since November 2024 and filed the notice last week.
The filing is a notice to appeal the dismissal of a previous appeal filed last fall.
In that appeal, Joseph argued that there were several problems in the initial trial related to expert witness testimony, the video evidence presented, and the instructions to the jury, which, as Joseph pointed out, permitted the jury to consider a conviction based on an “attempt to attempt to” commit a crime.
He also raised questions about
Spencer Pratt shared a photo Tuesday showing him meeting with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office shortly after announcing the launch of his new media organization.
The former reality television star and Los Angeles mayoral candidate was photographed sitting with three others, including what appeared to be his son and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. “I will never stop fighting for my community,” Pratt wrote in the caption of the post on X.
Pratt did not immediately provide additional details about the meeting. The California Post contacted him and the White House for comments.
The upstart candidate on Tuesday also shared details of his new WAR Foundation, which he said
Tuesday, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) announced their endorsement of Missouri's 1st District representative, Cori Bush, on X.
"It's time to beat AIPAC once and for all," the post read. "DSA is proud to endorse Cori Bush for Congress. Cori is taking her seat back to fight for the world St. Louisans deserve—one where our taxes pay for our communities, not war. Help elect a working-class champion with a donation today." Bush responded on X
"I’m proud to be endorsed once again by DSA as I run to return to Congress and keep fighting for everyday people," she wrote. "Together, we’ll work to abolish ICE, deliver Medicare for all, end wars
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the State Department is developing a system that would allow Americans to take and upload passport photos from their phones or computers as part of a broader effort to modernize the passport application process and reduce wait times.
Speaking last week at a reception for the State Department’s launch of a commemorative passport marking the nation’s 250th anniversary, Rubio outlined plans to let applicants complete nearly the entire passport application online. The proposal would eliminate one of the most common hurdles for applicants: obtaining printed passport photos that meet federal requirements.

There’s a trend in public commentary to attribute young Americans’ openness to socialist or communist ideas to laziness or educational indoctrination. The point is to dismiss generational economic complaints as entitlement or a poor work ethic. However, such characterizations irresponsibly ignore the truth about what’s happening to our sons and daughters.
Data on labor market dynamics, particularly the role of H-1B visa policies in constraining white-collar job access and wages for young Americans, provide a better explanation for the shift. Gen Z and Millennials face a structurally challenging environment. Net job creation in the U.S. has been anemic, to say the least. College degrees, especially in STEM-related fields, continue to rise.
Republican Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell’s office sent an email Tuesday that included a compilation of statements from senators and acquaintances claiming they spoke to the former majority leader for similar lengths of time and discussed related topics.
McConnell’s office provided no new details on his health despite his nearly month long hospitalization. Several of McConnell’s colleagues and acquaintances, including Senate Majority Leader John Thune and CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings, made similar statements about McConnell that McConnell’s staff later shared in an email obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
“As the Senator continues to recover, we will be sure to keep you updated. Wanted to flag the following tweets
Democrat Andrew Gillum, who came within a hair of defeating a then-Florida congressman named Ron DeSantis in the race for governor of the Sunshine State in 2018, was jailed last week on drug charges.
And the arrest last week in Alabama was not Gillum’s first brush with the law since the former Tallahassee mayor lost to DeSantis nearly eight years ago.
The news was first reported by TMZ, which noted: Gillum was taken into custody Thursday night by officers in Daphne, AL, and then booked in the Baldwin County jail for possession of dangerous drugs, drug paraphernalia, and possession of marijuana, according to online police records.
The U.S. Postal Service on Sunday will raise the price of a first-class Forever stamp from 78 cents to 82 cents, the latest in a series of increases aimed at stemming the agency's mounting financial losses.
The USPS announced the increase in April, saying the higher price was intended to bolster its finances. Over the past five years, the agency has raised the price of a first-class stamp six times, increasing the cost 34% from 58 cents in 2021 to 78 cents before the hike set to kick in on July 12.
The USPS has struggled for years with high costs and shrinking mail volumes, while policy changes implemented by Congress

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is alert and has taken phone calls, discussing a variety of topics, according to reports.
CNN’s Scott Jennings said he spoke with his “old friend” McConnell on Tuesday morning, asserting that they discussed a variety of topics for nearly 20 minutes.
He wrote, “I spoke to my old friend Mitch McConnell this morning, the senior Senator from Kentucky. He’s still recovering in the hospital. We talked for just shy of 20 minutes … about IRAN, UKRAINE, the unfolding situation in MAINE, my visit to the TR Presidential Library, and even a little bit of Senate history.”
An Inspector General audit of the Minority Business Development Agency’s flagship program found that 96 percent of the reviewed transactions should not have been approved, revealing a stunning lack of oversight at the now-defunct agency and raising questions about what will happen if Democrats revive the program.
The November 2025 audit, which has not been previously reported, reviewed $16 billion in transactions approved by the MBDA business center program, a network of federally funded consultancies, public and private, aimed at supporting minority-owned businesses, which had to be at least 51 percent minority-owned to qualify for services. The audit found that $15.4 billion of the $16 billion in transactions reviewed
President Donald Trump posted a photo of a $100 bill bearing his signature on Truth Social on July 3, presenting the first paper currency to be signed by a living president.
Trump didn’t add a comment to the post, but the Treasury Department chimed in.
“Under President Trump’s leadership, we are on a path toward unprecedented economic growth, lasting dollar dominance, and fiscal strength and stability,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent posted on X on July 4.
“There is no more powerful way to recognize the historic achievements of our great country and President Donald J. Trump than U.S dollar bills bearing his signature, and it is only appropriate that this historic currency

The USA's World Cup dream came to an end in Seattle as Belgium cruised into the last eight with a 4-1 victory; Charles De Ketelaere scored twice in the first half, while Hans Vanaken and Romelu Lukaku added further goals after the break to book a quarter-final meeting with Spain. The PR circus surrounding FIFA's decision to rescind Folarin Balogun's red card and Donald Trump's involvement in the supposedly independent process had dominated the headlines ahead of the last-16 clash in Seattle. However, it appeared only to galvanise Belgium as they thrashed USA 4-1 to book a quarter-final with Spain.
BANGOR, Maine — Maine author Stephen King appears to be standing behind Graham Platner, even as the Senate candidate faces allegations of sexual assault and growing calls to end his campaign. Posting on 'X' shortly after POLITICO published testimony from a Maine woman who accused Platner of assaulting her in 2021, the prolific horror writer wrote "Graham Platner may drop out. I hope he doesn't, but." King then went on to reference President Donald Trump, and the numerous sexual misconduct allegations he has faced over the years, calling him the "Abuser in Chief." President Trump has consistently denied several public allegations

There aren’t many political mysteries from 2016 that still have the power to set the internet on fire like the unsolved murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich.The official theory is that the 27-year-old was shot near his D.C. home during a botched robbery. His family has rejected all claims that he was somehow connected to WikiLeaks or murdered because of his work at the DNC, and they’ve asked people not to politicize their son’s death.
But the questions never went away, mostly because so many details surrounding the case are

Two structural support beams on the 21st floor of a 38-story under-construction building in Manhattan started buckling Tuesday morning, triggering a mass evacuation, street closures and a large emergency response, officials say.
The FDNY said it got a call around 8 a.m. about bricks falling from the building at 235 East 42nd Street, between Second and Third avenues. The NYPD says it got a 911 call about the incident less than 15 minutes later.

Raw footage from inside, taken by a construction worker, showed crumbling steel beams on the 21st floor.
President Trump has reacted to the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America by sounding the alarm about communism, which greatly upset Associated Press fact-checker Melissa Goldin on Thursday because, according to her, only card-carrying members of the Communist Party USA can be called communists.
Goldin cited two Trump quotes. The first was, “It’s the biggest threat to our country, including World War I, World War II, Pearl Harbor, September 11th.” The second was referring to Democrats as “hard core, godless communists.”
She also lamented, “But experts say

During an interview aired on Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead,” Jenny Racicot, who is accusing Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner of rape, said that “I really agree with his politics. I think we need somebody with those political stances and who are willing to do the work. And I see his political videos. They get me fired up as well. I understand why people want someone like him in office.” And that is one reason she was reluctant to come forward.

"Warning: The exhibits in this museum were prepared by people who don't want you to love your country." (snip) Yet Anthea Hartig, director of the museum today, has other priorities, including using history as a "prime tool of social justice."
Hartig is white, but rather than punishing herself for her "privilege," she's trying to lay a guilt trip on the whole country, using taxpayer dollars to "problematize" the history she's supposed to preserve.
(snip) can the public trust that responsibility to someone like Hartig, who claims to have been "propped up ... by the cushions of whiteness and the pillows of the bourgeoisie"?
Disgraced former politician Andrew Gillum, a one-time Democratic Party rising star and CNN political commentator, has been arrested in Alabama for allegedly having drugs, according to records.
Gillum – who narrowly lost to Ron DeSantis in the 2018 gubernatorial election – was arrested Thursday in Daphne before being booked for possession of dangerous drugs, [snip]
His run-in with the law comes six years after he was found inebriated inside Miami Beach’s Mondrian hotel room alongside a male escort and three bags of suspected crystal meth.
In 2022, Gillum was accused of conspiring with his mentor, Sharon Lettman-Hicks, to divert campaign contributions for personal use.
A Midtown high-rise was evacuated Tuesday morning after massive beams inside the under-construction building started buckling — sending some floors caving in and bricks raining down under the crushing strain.
The 38-story commercial building at 235 East 42nd Street was cleared around 8:11 a.m. after construction workers spotted two faulty support beams bending and starting to give way on the 21st and 22nd floors, according to the NYPD and FDNY.
Fire officials said floors between the 21st and 26th floors were sagging from the pressure.
