Mamdani Official Set Meeting With Iranian
Ambassador to UN
Posted By: Dreadnought, 7/10/2026 2:22:24 AM
If you were Zohran Mamdani's new Commissioner in the Office of International Affairs, charged with reaching out to government officials from countries that ideologically align with the mayor, who would you reach out to? The answer is obvious: Iran’s ambassador and permanent representative to the United Nations. It's a natural fit, right? So that is what Commissioner Ana María Archila decided to do: she scheduled a meeting with Amir-Saeid Iravani, Iran’s permanent representative to the United Nations, to discuss how the City of New York and the regime in Tehran could work together for mutual benefit. Perhaps they could share a "Death to the United States"

Iran Buries Khamenei, Vows to Kill Trump
2 replies
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s funeral has been going on for nearly a week, but today is the final day.
The final stage of the funeral procession for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the former supreme leader of Iran, set off through the holy city of Mashhad on Thursday afternoon, after days of public ceremonies that drew hundreds of thousands of mourners in Iran and Iraq.
The procession in Ayatollah Khamenei’s hometown began hours later than scheduled and unfolded against the backdrop of renewed strikes between the United States and Iran. Iranian officials said that U.S. forces had struck railway bridges in the country’s northeast, disrupting passenger services on the route

A twisted Queens firebug was busted for allegedly hurling Molotov cocktails at two Queens churches late Wednesday – part of what prosecutors believe was a disturbing seven-incident spree.
Yogesh Sayrange, 36, – who ranted like a madman in federal court on Thursday – admitted to tossing fiery projectiles at the Iglesia Bautista El Mesias church in Ozone Park, and the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses on in Woodhaven, along with other locations, according to cops and the feds.
“Yea, I * firebombed them,” Sayrange allegedly told investigators about a separate bombing of a deli, adding with out explaination: “They’re Muslims, scum and terrorists.”
The transgender-identifying former romantic partner of Tyler Robinson, the man accused of assassinating conservative activist Charlie Kirk, says the alleged killer took responsibility for the shooting and said he regretted what he had done in a conversation one day after the attack.
The revelation came in a video interview investigators conducted with Robinson on April 20 that was played in court for the first time on Thursday, on the fourth day of a preliminary hearing in Robinson’s case.
Lance Twiggs testified that Robinson was acting “erratically” after the killing.
Oh, let's not always see the same hands ...
Actually, the question isn't directed at Hot Air readers, as we have been discussing Graham Platner's red flags since October of last year. Herr Totenkopf even began appearing in Final Word posts that same month. The question arising from the Wall Street Journal's belated look at Der Oysterführer's Red Flag Parade reflects on the multitudinous failures by American media to report honestly on a candidate manufactured out of whole cloth by socialist activists:
The red flag that led to Graham Platner’s collapse was hiding in plain sight.
Fierce Trump critic makes stunning admission

on defense spending: ‘He has won the argument’ 3 replies
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Wednesday that President Donald Trump has "won the argument" on NATO defense spending, crediting years of U.S. pressure with prompting Canada and European allies to take on a greater share of the alliance's security burden.
Speaking at the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, Carney said he spoke with Trump before the gathering and told him that NATO members increasingly recognize the need to boost military spending amid continued security threats from Russia.
"It's not just that he's winning the argument — he's won the argument," Carney told reporters. "Countries realize they need to take more responsibility. They see the direct threats."
President Trump on Wednesday kindled a significant thaw in relations with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky when the two met on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Turkey, as Ukraine seizes the initiative in its more than four-year war against Russia.
Trump announced the U.S. would buy Ukrainian drones and, even more importantly, gave a green light for Ukraine to co-produce Patriot interceptors, a move that could significantly improve its air defenses in the years ahead.
The Trump-Zelensky bonhomie signaled the latest shift in a historically fraught relationship. Trump has railed against U.S. funds provided to Ukraine throughout the Biden administration and has put pressure on Zelensky in private and public
President Trump on Wednesday said the U.S. is granting Ukraine the ability to co-produce key air-defense weapons, the Patriot missiles, which are critical to defending against Russian ballistic weapon attacks hammering the country.
Trump made the remarks alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky from a NATO summit in Turkey following an intensive lobbying campaign by Ukraine for permission to co-produce the Patriots.
“Just a little birdie told me this, about the fact that we’ll give them the right to make Patriots, we’ll show them how to do it,” Trump said.
“It’s very complex, actually, but it’s — you’ll figure out the complexity quickly.”
Graham Platner, the Democratic nominee for US Senate in Maine, is suspending his campaign following a sexual assault allegation.
Platner announced his decision in a video posted to social media on Wednesday evening.
The oyster farmer and marine veteran – whose populist platform packed town halls, raised millions early in the race and built enough momentum to force his primary challenger, Governor Janet Mills, to suspend her bid – has been dogged by controversy since entering the Senate contest last year.
California may have the fourth-largest economy in the world, but even within that state, rising through the political ranks, the scrutiny a candidate gets is not remotely comparable to what a candidate for president is subjected to.
State politics tends to be insular, with political machines shepherding their favorites while destroying or buying off the people who challenge them. California's machine is, if anything, better tuned and more greased than most because there is so much money involved and so much back-scratching that outcomes can usually be pre-determined by choices made months or even years prior to their coming to fruition.
Gavin Newsom is a perfect example of this
Maine Democrats should blame themselves for choosing Graham Platner as their candidate despite all the obvious red flags, but there is no doubt that Platner's rise to prominence and his ability to raise gobs of money to present himself as a viable candidate is almost solely due to the fact that The New York Times put him on the map before he got into the race and worked mightily to maintain his viability despite the growing number of scandals.
I have written before about how the myth of Graham Platner's "working man" populism was created, despite the fact that he was a child of privilege, lied constantly about
U.S. forces launched another round of strikes against Iran in response to Tehran attacking commercial ships in or near the Strait of Hormuz, U.S. Central Command said Wednesday afternoon.
“The United States is holding Iran accountable for recent unjustified aggression against commercial shipping and civilian crews freely navigating a vital international waterway,” CENTCOM said in an X post.
The latest salvo came hours after President Donald Trump said he may no longer be interested in even trying to reach a deal with Iran. Trump earlier Wednesday had declared the fledgling U.S. ceasefire agreement with Iran “over” in light of renewed hostilities in the strait, and said he may order more military attacks.

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-
The toughest thing to do right now in Democratic politics is to stop a socialist from becoming the presidential nominee.
That's what veteran political reporter Mark Halperin declared on his podcast Tuesday before unveiling his 2028 Democratic presidential nominee rankings for July. After the primary victories by Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) candidates in New York and Colorado last month — and what was, to be generous, a fawning response from the Democratic establishment —
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. Data on the computer revealed years
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.
‘It’s sickening’: Upside-down American

flag flies at St. Cloud Somali Independence
Day celebration 10 replies
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.
Fauci: The Public Servant from Hell
9 replies
If the allegations put forward by Tulsi Gabbard, former Director of National Intelligence, prove to be substantially true, Dr. Anthony Fauci’s legacy will be remembered as one of the greatest betrayals of the public trust in modern American history.
For four decades, Fauci occupied one of the most influential positions in the federal government. As Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), he controlled billions of taxpayer dollars, directed research priorities, advised presidents of both parties, and enjoyed a level of public credibility rarely afforded to unelected bureaucrats. Americans were encouraged to trust him -- not because he was elected, but because he was presented as
