They’re communists. They want to destroy our country. We’re not going to let that happen. But this helps even from the parents’ standpoint. You know, they see their child getting richer and richer as the … market goes up… If it goes up, they could become actually rich and their parents are going to be watching and we’re all going to be watching.” That was President Donald Trump blasting communists as he rang the bell for the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq on July 6, blasting communists as he inaugurated in TrumpAccounts.gov that parents can now begin making contributions to,

I don't know - the program itself hints at socialism, giving taxpayer money to non-working people.

How about giving workers (of a certain/younger age) the option to allow their income to be taxed for Social Security or instead take that money and invest it.

Israel recently shared intelligence with the US about a new Iranian plot to assassinate President Trump, according to a report. The latest assassination plan, reported by the Wall Street Journal on Thursday, comes after years of Iranian regime threats to kill Trump as revenge for the 2020 killing of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Gen. Qasem Soleimani by US forces. When asked for comment, the White House referred The Post to Trump’s Wednesday remarks at the NATO summit in Ankara. They want to take out the US leader — me,” Trump said. “I’m on whatever list. I saw this morning I’m on every single one of their lists. And so far,
Trump’s Patience With the Iranian Regime

After weeks of patience, President Trump has finally had enough with Iran’s radical Islamist regime. Divided, economically crippled, and increasingly desperate, Iran’s leaders responded to U.S. peace efforts and restraint with repeated violations of a ceasefire, threats against its neighbors, and blatant lies about negotiations with the U.S. On Wednesday, the president declared the ceasefire and the associated Memorandum of Understanding “over.” He ordered intensive U.S. airstrikes against strategic targets across Iran and reimposed crippling sanctions on Iranian oil exports. Trump’s message was clear: his patience with the Iranian regime has run out.

Most people understand the dynamic with Graham Platner has come down to price. How much are the Communists going to have to pay to get the Nazi rapist to leave the Maine senatorial race. There are various storylines surrounding the negotiations [Example Here], but the bottom line is how much can Platner get for his exit?

The Timms Review into Personal Independence Payments (PIP) has made great strides in stating the bleeding obvious: Our message is simple: PIP is not working. It is not working for the people that go through the process, nor for a Government committed to supporting disabled people. Co-chaired by Minister of State for Social Security and Disability Sir Stephen Timms, Sharon Brennan and Dr Clenton Farquharson CBE, more than 38,000 people and disability groups responded to its call for evidence. The report is proudly “co-produced by disabled people”. For those readers who are unaware of PIP, the report helpfully explains that:
Federal Appeals Court Strikes Down Texas
In-State Tuition for Illegal Aliens

federal appeals court has ruled that Texas cannot continue offering in-state tuition rates to illegal alien students because the state’s 25-year-old policy conflicts with federal law. In a decision issued Thursday, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals held that Texas’ tuition policy violates a federal statute barring states from providing higher education benefits to illegal immigrants based on residency unless those same benefits are available to all U.S. citizens, regardless of where they live. The court found that under the Texas law, out-of-state American citizens paid substantially higher tuition than illegal alien students residing in Texas, a practice the court said is prohibited under federal law.

Raise your hand if you still remember the name Andrew Gillum. Don't worry if your hand stayed down. I'm betting the Democrat Party would love for you to forget it, too. Anyway, now your co-workers or your other half would be wondering why your hand was up. Fasten your seatbelts, kids. Gillum, the former Mayor of Tallahassee, Fla., ran a genuinely electrifying campaign as the Democratic nominee for Florida governor in 2018, and he pulled off a real upset to win the primary in the first place. Barack Obama endorsed him. High-profile progressives lined up behind him. He came agonizingly close to becoming Florida's first black governor,

The New York mother beaten to death in her new home in Ireland shared a tragic, final post celebrating July 4th — lovingly posing with the asylum-seeking boyfriend who is the suspect in her murder, according to police sources. Westchester County native Jamey Carney, 43, posted a pic seemingly wishing she was back in the Big Apple, beaming alongside Ahmad Alsaqer, the 28-year-old now identified as the person of interest in the brutal crime. “Happy 4th y’all,” she wrote alongside the photo of them cuddling up in front of an AI-generated backdrop of Times Square, with the mom in Knicks T-shirt and Alsaqer in a Giants one.
There’s A New Consumer Sheriff In California 2 replies

a new agency in California that promises to “protect consumers, support honest businesses, and advance affordability for Californians.” If Vegas were to give odds, they would be heavily against any of those ever occurring. It’s called the California Business and Consumer Services Agency, and it’s a cabinet-level department headed by Rohit Chopra, who was sworn in on July 1. It already has a bureaucratic acronym: BCSA. Catchy, isn’t it? Chopra promises his office “will sharpen and accelerate work to promote economic growth and protect the public from abuses.” Let us translate that from California-government-speak.

The American economy grew by 2 percent during the first three months of 2026, hardly the picture of collapse that critics of the Trump administration keep promising is just around the corner. The country has not tanked under Donald Trump, not even with tariffs in place. Trump has been accused of putting black women out of work by cutting positions in the federal government, and it is true that federal cuts have hit black women disproportionately since they have historically been overrepresented in the federal workforce. But the federal government is not, and was never meant to be, a jobs program for any single demographic,

Describing someone as ‘coloured’ is not racist, even if it does offend people of colour, an employment judge has ruled. The Mail has the story. A tribunal concluded that although the term is “generally considered to be old fashioned” and potentially “offensive”, it is not racist when used to simply “describe” someone from an ethnic minority background as a “one-off comment”. The ruling came in the case of mixed-heritage admin worker Amy Reeves, who heard a colleague describe two people as “coloured” while working in the office.

Communist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is being accused of cultural erasure after seemingly ‘forgetting’ one of the Big Apple’s most historic immigrant groups while virtue signaling. As The New York Post reported, Mamdani released a map on Wednesday titled “New York City Immigrant Enclaves.” The map shows about 30 areas across the Big Apple’s five boroughs, ranging from places like Chinatown in Manhattan to Little Mexico in Brooklyn and Little Africa in the Bronx. Other enclaves include Little Guyana and Little Bangladesh in Queens.

Little Italy is a New York City landmark. It’s a cultural touchtone where movies have been set. Tourists troop over to pick up Sopranos t-shirts and go out to an Italian restaurant. ‘Little Palestine’ is Islamic colonialist nonsense that no one had ever heard of. But the Mamdani regime predictably put out a map of what it claimed were “New York City Immigrant Enclaves” which listed ‘Little Palestine’, ‘Little Pakistan’, ‘Little Yemen’, ‘Little Albania’ and ‘Little Egypt’, but didn’t mention ‘Little Italy.’ If you’re counting, that’s 5 Muslim colonial enclaves in New York City, but no Irish, Italian or Jewish enclaves. Indeed, virtually all of the 30 ‘immigrant enclaves’ listed

Mexico’s President, Claudia Sheinbaum, announced that her government is looking into taking legal action against agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement following the latest shooting incident in Texas. “We cannot allow the mistreatment of our brothers who are in the United States,” Sheinbaum said during her morning news conference, referring to a case on Tuesday in Houston. As Breitbart Texas reported, U.S. federal agents from ICE were trying to arrest Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national illegally present in the United States, when, according to an agency statement, the man resisted arrest, allegedly used his vehicle to ram an ICE vehicle, and then attempted to run over a federal agent.

A bitter battle is brewing along California’s Central Coast as an Indigenous tribe pushes to create a protected ocean zone that could sharply limit fishing — sparking fears among local fishermen that their livelihoods are on the line. The Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians has filed a proposal to create a new Marine Protected Area (MPA) stretching from Morro Rock to the local dog beach near Morro Bay. The proposal was among 20 Marine Protected Area petitions submitted to the California Fish and Game Commission. The original petition would have allowed some recreational fishing, but the tribe requested an amendment that would reserve fishing access only for Chumash members.

President Donald Trump vowing Wednesday to intensify air strikes against Iran – after the sides traded attacks the day before and him declaring the countries' roughly three-week ceasefire "over" – has the U.S. appearing to be returning to war footing. "We're gonna hit 'em hard tonight," Trump said at the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, after conceding to reporters hours earlier about the ceasefire, "To me, I think it's over. I don't want to deal with them." The return, as expected, has raised immediate concerns from economic – like will gas prices skyrocket again? – to military ones such as: Does the U.S. have enough air, sea and ground-

Hunter Biden, son of former President Joe Biden, announced he’s releasing chapters about the past seven years of his life on Substack. Biden made the announcement Thursday on X. “Over on Substack I’m writing about the last seven years of my life. It’s the first draft of the whole story. All of it,” Biden said. “I’ll be releasing chapters every few days, along with ‘Where’s Hunter?’ a video series exclusive to Substack.” Biden posted an excerpt in the post, called “The Laptop.” The controversy surrounding Biden’s laptop started when he dropped it off at a computer store.

Just three weeks after it was signed, the Memorandum of Understanding between the United States and Iran is on life support. Tehran’s promise to keep the Strait of Hormuz open for international shipping turned out to be about as trustworthy as every other major promise the Islamic Republic has ever made. As the regime was busy staging the lavish funeral for its recently eliminated Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iranian forces went ahead and attacked three commercial vessels transiting the strait. The United States struck nearly 100 military targets across Iran in response.

An upside-down American flag isn’t a sight most Americans expect to see over the Fourth of July weekend. Yet that’s exactly what happened at a Somali Independence Day celebration in St. Cloud on July 3, where an upside-down American flag flew alongside the Somali flag, drawing condemnation online and a blistering rebuke from a city council member who called the display a “disgusting show of disrespect” toward the United States. Video from the celebration, first posted on the Rocks and Cows of Minnesota Facebook page, quickly spread across social media, where users condemned the inverted American flag and criticized event sponsors, including U.S. Bank.

Newport Beach’s chaotic Fourth of July weekend wasn’t fueled by locals after all. Police data shows the overwhelming majority of the hundreds of people arrested or cited during the holiday mayhem on the Balboa Peninsula came from outside the affluent beach city — with many traveling from other parts of California, Arizona and beyond. Of the 353 people detained during the Independence Day disorder, just 10 were Newport Beach residents, according to police. The remaining suspects came from elsewhere across California, Arizona and other states. In all, police issued 316 misdemeanor citations and made 37 arrests as officers cracked down on the unruly crowds. Those arrests included 25 juveniles,

New York City, like so many other big, blue cities, serves as an excellent model for how spending overwhelming amounts of taxpayer money can get so much less than underwhelming results. A recent report created a damning picture of New York City public schools as mass factories of educational failure. New York Success Academy, a charter school network in New York, dug through public data to show “New Yorkers how deep this failure runs” and how long it has been running. The results are both sad and infuriating. The study found that 906 schools in the city, roughly half of the total number, “had fewer than half their students passing math,

The party of Me Too has shown its true face in the rolling Graham Platner scandal. Now that a liberal woman has credibly accused him of rape, the rats have deserted the sinking ship and the Democrat-endorsed US Senate candidate for Maine has dropped out. But it’s “Me Too” late to save face. Conservatives always knew the left’s effort to assert moral superiority on matters of sex, race and ideology were play-acting but now it’s undeniable for even their most blinkered supporters. The Democratic Party’s defense of Platner to the bitter end against an avalanche of rape and sexual abuse allegations, not to mention his Nazi tattoo, has left them exposed as hypocrites.
