Mamdani’s War on New York Business Is
a Double-Header
Posted By: 4250Luis, 8/4/2026 2:46:18 PM
New York City's socialist bad boy mayor Zohran Mamdani just made his latest move against the city's business leaders — and this time, he hit the leadership of Gracie Mansion's own Mayor’s Fund Board of Advisors. Plus, I have the latest news on Mamdani's incredibly wrong-headed plan for city-owned grocery stores in today's double-header of socialist stupidity. The New York Post reported early Tuesday that Mamdani "axed the advisors of a major nonprofit that channels private sector donations to fund city initiatives in his latest hostile act toward New York business leaders." Also, according to the Post, the board has "raised hundreds of millions since its 1995 inception –

DSA Insurgency Begins, and This Is Not
Gonna Go Well 2 replies
The prevailing talking point among the Democrat establishment in recent weeks, in response to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) insurgency taking place, has been to tout the supposed "big tent" nature of the party, where all kinds of differing viewpoints are allegedly welcome. That canned answer is quite revealing when one considers the interview DSA co-chair Megan Romer did with Fox News in late July, where the extremist DSA platform was laid bare for all to see: support for abolishing the presidency, the Senate, prisons, borders, the Supreme Court. And that's just for starters. Another DSA co-chair, Ashik Siddique, admitted in a different interview that "our goal is communism."

Intrepid investigative journalist Nick Shirley isn't one to shrink from danger. He had to escape from Cuba when spies followed him during his trip to the communist island and was forced to hire 24/7 security after exposing Somali fraud in Minneapolis. In his latest video, Shirley once again finds himself in serious peril when a Muslim man chases him through the streets while wielding a knife and threatening to stab him. The scene of the pursuit was the Spanish North African enclave of Ceuta, which has made headlines in recent days after 60,000 illegal migrants poured in from Morocco.
Republican US Senator Darline Graham (R-SC) came out in favor of nuking the filibuster to get the SAVE Act passed.
Graham, the sister of former Senator Lindsey Graham, came out in support of the SAVE Act and says she is in favor of eliminating the senate filibuster to get it to pass. Darline made the comments during the South Carolina Republican US Senate debate.
Graham added that Democrats will abolish the filibuster if they take control of the US Senate anyway.
What a breath of fresh air.
This past weekend, Russia’s main domestic security agency, the FSB, announced that Telegram founder Pavel Durov has been charged with aiding terrorism and put on an international wanted list.
CBS News reported: The charges against Durov, who was born and began his career in Russia but later moved abroad, came as the Russian authorities restrict Telegram, one of the most popular messaging apps in the country – […] Soon after the charges were announced, Telegram’s official account on X posted an image of Durov making an obscene gesture with his middle finger. There was no other immediate comment from Durov or Telegram.”
NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers came out of the gates slinging darts on The Pat McAfee Show on Monday.
When the ESPN host invited the firebrand on the show, he may not have expected the legendary football player to unleash a rant for the ages on Dr. Anthony Fauci. McAfee opened up his line of questioning about a potential retirement, but Rodgers seized the opportunity to bash the disgraced doctor. "I’m gonna plead the Fifth," Rodgers quipped, "like that absolute coward Tony Fauci. Absolute coward. Are you kidding me? You get a pardon, and you pleaded over 100 times at the White House?
Some of my earliest memories are from a grocery store.
My mother, and later her sister, worked at a locally owned Key Market running the deli department. Baked goods, hot meals, sliced meats and fresh salads, and the best donuts you ever tasted made from scratch every day — it was a kid’s paradise. She would sometimes take me to work on Saturdays, and I’d help, doing everything but slicing the meat (age-restricted because it’s dangerous). It was fun for me, and I learned things I would not have learned watching cartoons.
People tend to assume history moves in a straight line. Atrocities like genocide and slavery are confined to the distant past as progress marches permanently forward.
But that simply cannot be the case. “The line separating good and evil passes … through all human hearts,” as Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn reminds us.
The battle for justice is ever ongoing: replete with setbacks, contradictions, and disappointments. Human beings are never beyond acts of evil, and so regimes are never unfailingly noble.
Americans are often guilty of progressive assumptions when it comes to our own story.
A recent poll out of Texas showed Democrat U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico with a two-point advantage over his opponent, Republican state Attorney General Ken Paxton.The independent Wedgewood Polls surveyed 800 likely voters on Thursday and Friday, and the results showed Talarico at 48 percent while Paxton was at 46 percent:
President Donald Trump endorsed Paxton in May, according to Breitbart News.
“The Highly Respected Attorney General of Texas, Ken Paxton, an America First Patriot, and someone who has always been extremely loyal to me and our AMAZING MAGA MOVEMENT, is running for the United States Senate, to represent a place I love and WON, BIG, three times,

against Obama-appointed judge after TPS decision 16 replies
Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., revealed he plans to introduce articles of impeachment against a judge on Monday.
“SCOTUS made it very clear that lower courts cannot suspend TPS. Yet, an Obama-appointed judge is defying the Court and the Constitution in an attempt to subvert the will of the President," Ogles said in a statement provided to Just the News.
"This judicial activist’s obstruction of the people’s will must be stopped. Judge Burroughs must be impeached," he added.
Ogles wrote on X that U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs' decision to block Trump from ending Temporary Protected Status for Somalis was unconstitutional.
Erdogan's Courtship of President Trump
3 replies
Trump's remarks were seen as a rebuke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is — quite rightly — opposed to F-35 sales to Turkey on the grounds that it could ultimately prove a direct threat to Israel's security, as well as to Cyprus and Greece, which Erdogan has repeatedly threatened.
Turkey was suspended from the multinational F-35 program during Trump's first term in 2019, after acquiring Russia's S-400 air defence system. The purchase of the S-400 also prompted US sanctions against Turkey's defence industry, imposed in 2020.
Although Turkey tested the S-400 following its delivery and has not returned it to Russia,
New York Plunges New Depths

At the end of May, the New York State Assembly introduced Assembly Bill A11509. The proposal would permanently prohibit anyone born after December 31, 2007, from purchasing tobacco or nicotine products for the rest of their lives.
In practice, the State is claiming permanent ownership over the autonomy of part of its population. It is deciding today that these individuals will never be considered capable of making their own choices. The distinction it creates is not based on any assessment of individual responsibility or capacity. It rests solely on an arbitrary date of birth.

Gov. Abigail Spanberger, D-Va., announced that she has restored voting rights to 66,085 Virginians who had prior felony convictions.
Virginia’s constitution doesn't allow convicted felons to vote after serving their sentences unless a governor restores their voting rights.
“I’m proud that — after contending with my predecessor’s efforts to deny Virginians their fundamental rights — we have restored the rights of more than 66,000 Virginians who have served their time,” Spanberger said in a statement. “These Virginians deserve the right to use their vote, make their voices heard, and be recognized as contributing citizens to our Commonwealth and country.”
Monday on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” former Vice President Mike Pence said it is time for President Donald Trump to “unleash” the military to “finish the job” in Iran.
Host Bill Hemmer said, “I want to ask you about Iran. We had a Fox poll that came out about two weeks ago. We asked the question on the ultimate outcome with Iran. The U.S. will reach what good deal, bad deal or no deal. And 48% said no deal. What’s your view?”
Pence said, “Well, I have more confidence in President Trump than that. I think the Iranians should be very wary at this moment. Look, I strongly supported

after leaving the show twice and clashing

The View alumna Rosie O'Donnell announced this week that she will return to the show for the upcoming 30th anniversary special.
O'Donnell, 64, served as a host of the daytime program twice, first from 2006 to 2007 and then from 2014 to 2015, and left each time after a single season.
During her tenures, she developed a reputation for clashes with her fellow panelists Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Whoopi Goldberg.
Now she has confirmed: 'I will go on the 30th anniversary next year and be on in whatever way they want me, just as a guest,' on the podcast The Tangle.
Rosie O’Donnell recently opened up, candidly speaking about the possibility of hosting a new streaming show, America’s love for nostalgia, the death of celebrity culture, how she could bring back hope, and why she won’t return to the small screen while Donald Trump is still in the White House. (snip)
Of course, there is one major caveat: “It would be when Trump is no longer in power. That’s when I would want to start. And that’s really when the healing must begin. The healing must begin in this country. And if I could be in any way part of that, I would be very, very happy.”
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is moving way past irony and taking things to an entirely new level: Lie-rony.
Mamdani recently blew away political observers with his proposal to have government-backed grocery stores.
New Yorkers will soon enjoy a 30 percent discount on their meat, seafood, milk, and bread — so long as they shop at a city-owned store. [snip]Now, we come to the hitch in Mamdani's program: You've got to present a government ID proving residency in order for the government to recognize your "human right" to grocery prices that are 30 percent below retail.
Old habits die hard. At least that is the case for our Supreme Court’s Justice Neil Gorsuch, who persists in repeating the erroneous narrative that America was founded as religiously neutral. In a July 24th interview with PBS’ Margaret Hoover, Gorsuch gave his interpretation of the American founding, denying America was founded as a Christian nation:
“We were never supposed to be a nation that was about one race or one religion … It was about those ideas [in the Declaration of Independence] … We have a First Amendment, for crying out loud. No established religion.”

You remember Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA). He's the former governor of Virginia who's now the commonwealth's junior senator. He's a Catholic who loves abortion. He'd like to nuke the Second Amendment. And the more illegal aliens in the U.S., the happier he is.
Oh, and he was Hillary Clinton's vice presidential pick back in 2016. As one of his constituents, I like to think of him as Tim "Jazz Hands" Walz 1.0 – Tim Kaine was "weird, white beta male trying to be normal, but failing miserably" before his party and the "other Tim" made it popular. (X) Quite the pair, those two.

Why Republicans May Defy Midterm History
13 replies
As the midterms loom, the commentariat is confidently predicting that the Republican House majority is all but doomed. It is of course true that history does not portend a victorious outcome for the GOP. The president’s party almost always loses House seats in midterm elections. Yet history has been confounded more than once during the Trump era. There are factors at play this year that may save the GOP majority. The Republicans enjoy a 2-to-1 cash advantage over the Democrats (snip) and the same people who orchestrated President Trump’s historic 2024 victory are managing the party’s midterm strategy.

So New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani has a solution to the obvious problems of his free government groceries going out the door to speculators and out-of-staters who can buy and can resell the discounted foods at a profit.
Here he is: The July 27 exchange, transcribed by Grok and me:
Q: How you gonna keep people from taking advantage of that deal basically, and is there going to be a limit on the number of items that someone can take that are discounted at that level from that essential basket?
Given the unchecked flood of illegal immigration now taking place across the European continent and Britain, the headline above asks a valid question: Will Europe in the future exist only as a territory, but not as a civilization and a culture?
Spain is the latest flashpoint in Europe’s battle to maintain control over its borders.
Last week’s stunning border break in Ceuta, a North African enclave that has been part of Spain for over 400 years, should be a wake-up call for all of Europe and the U.S., too. More than 60,000 migrants crossed en masse, with at least 57 dying in the violent chaos of breaking through the border and swimming

Look, we all know that Francesca Hong is nuttier than a fruitcake that is filled with nausea-inducing berries, but as she enters the home stretch before the August 11th primary, not to mention the soon-to-be-kicked-off general election, you would think she would want to consolidate the vote in her own party and start making herself look acceptable to Independent voters.
Nope, she intends to finish strong, if by strong you mean leaning into everything the most radical voters in the state love about her and emphasizing everything that scares the
