1. No, Mamdani Doesn't Have a Mandate. Zohran Mamdani won a little over 1 million votes (at current count) in a city with a population of around 7 million adults. That’s about 14%. The total election turnout was a little over 2 million (that will likely increase) making for an election turnout of 28%. That’s not even a third of New York City’s population. New York City’s election turnout has always been weak. And while the city has a large illegal alien population, it still has 5 million registered voters. That’s a below 40% turnout rate even for registered voters. The media is hyping this as the highest election turnout in decades. Only if you don’t pay attention to population growth. In the 1993 showdown between Giuliani and Dinkins, a racist hack who let the city burn, and whom Bill de Blasio viewed as an inspiration, 1.9 million voters turned out in a city with a smaller population and 3 million registered voters for a 59% voter turnout. The turnout fell in the 2001 election th...

After blowing through $1.5 billion to lose an election, Kamala is back. And wants to run again. “I am not done,” Kamala Harris declared. “I have lived my entire career as a life of service and it’s in my bones.” The terrible polls won’t be stopping her because “if I listened to polls I would have not run for my first office, or my second office – and I certainly wouldn’t be sitting here.” Kamala’s previous presidential campaign foundered when she couldn’t explain what the Harris-Walz administration would do differently than the Biden-Harris administration. This time around she can’t explain how she would run any differently in 2028 than she did in 2024. 107 Days, her campaign book, blames everybody and everything else for her defeat, including the Biden team, racism, sexism and only having 107 days in which to figure out who she was. 470 days later and counting, Kamala Harris is still claiming that Biden was “competent to serve” and couldn’t explain what she would have done differently...

In 1831, President Andrew Jackson dispatched the USS Lexington to the Falkland Islands to respond to attacks on American fishing vessels in the area. The Lexington rescued the American vessels and American citizens, and took some of the locals, loosely aligned with British and other local authorities, prisoner as punishment for seizing the American ships. Jackson did not pursue a declaration of war which, in any case, would have involved a fairly nebulous authority in Buenos Aires, or more dangerously, with London, although after having already dispatched the USS Lexington, he suggested to Congress that “they may clothe the Executive with such authority and means as they may deem necessary for providing a force adequate to the complete protection of our fellow citizens fishing and trading in those seas.” The Falklands Incident, as it was known, 194 years ago, was one of many interventions by American forces against, as Jackson put it, “bands” linked to governments, without being part ...

There are two ‘rights’ in America. There’s the one we belong to, concerned with fighting the Left, resisting Islam and preserving America. And there’s another right that hates America. These days that ‘right’ is easier to spot than ever because it has one fatal ‘tell’. It spends little or no time fighting the Left, instead it spends all or most of its time fighting conservatives. Not only doesn’t it fight the Left, but it often makes common cause with leftists, inviting on not just liberals, but hard core socialists and even Marxists, to its podcasts, and eagerly citing them to attack conservatives and the legitimacy of the United States of America. Watch for Jeffrey Sachs, Cenk Uygur, Glenn Greenwald and Max Blumenthal being interviewed and quoted to attack conservatives and America and you’ll see the anti-American right. That’s because, woke left or woke right, they’re all members of the anti-American club. Like the Left, they don’t want to save America, they want to replace it with...

In the spring of ’77, President Jimmy Carter visited the town of Clinton, MA, and called for a ‘Palestinian’ state. Why did Carter choose a town of 15,000 at a town hall where most of the attendees were asking him questions about the economy to announce what would become the single longest running nation-building project in American history? No one knows. But almost 50 years, 7 presidents and countless billions of dollars later, there’s still no ‘Palestinian’ state. And we are still nation-building that terror state in the name of peace. Even as America struggled through a recession, Carter traveled around insisting on the urgent need of “the Palestinians to have a homeland”. The ‘Palestinians’ repaid him by hijacking a German plane that included American passengers and holding them hostage in Somalia. After futilely pleading with Syrian dictator Hafez al-Assad to come to America, Carter finally met him in Switzerland, praised him as a “moderate leader” who had demonstrated “good will...

At a meeting with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, Rep. Robert Garcia announced that the House Democrats on the Oversight Committee would be launching a ‘Master ICE tracker’. This follows the previous removal of ICE trackers by Apple and Facebook after the apps and sites tracking activity by immigration law enforcement personnel led to multiple violent confrontations with illegal alien activists, ugly acts of violence and at least one death so far. These confrontations are not just the work of random extremists, but of a leftist activist base supported by top Democrats and the media which have promoted ICE trackers, distributed the contact information for groups interfering with ICE arrests and subsidized the perpetrators. Before Carlitos Ricardos Parias, an illegal alien TikTok influencer, was arrested in an alleged car ramming assault on federal agents in Los Angeles, he had received a ‘Certificate of Appreciation’ from Councilmember Curren D. Price Jr for his “tireless efforts to safeg...

The Soros clan, along with other family foundations of the liberal elite, Knight, MacArthur, Ford, Omidyar, and the Rockefellers, have announced that they’re teaming up to fight investigations by the Justice Department. While Alex Soros, George’s son, bragged that he would not give in, “over my dead body”, the presidents of the MacArthur and McKnight Foundations have declared that everyone needs to dust off their “crisis plans” and put their “legal teams on speed dial” ahead of a crackdown. What are they afraid of? The Unite in Advance coalition was formed so quickly by the big liberal grantmaking groups funding radicalism to form a ‘united front’ that it didn’t even have the time to build a site. While Unite in Advance’s joint letter mentions the Charlie Kirk assassination and subsequent investigations of Antifa and other radical groups, an initial version of this ‘unity’ push had come out back in April with over 700 leftist groups, led by the MacArthur Foundation and, despite the cl...

Three years before a leftist transgender-linked gunman murdered Charlie Kirk, a transgender assassin tried to carry out his plan to kill three Supreme Court justices to wipe out humanity. At one in the morning, Nicholas Roske allegedly showed up outside Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home carrying a gun, zip ties and tools for breaking and entering. Roske was angry about the Supreme Court’s ruling on abortion because he believed that abortion should be “mandatory for pregnant women” so that “no new people would be born” and “humanity will end”. Roske wanted to kill three Supreme Court justices so that “there are more liberal than conservative judges”, so that abortion would be legal and the human race would end. While Roske’s first name was listed as Nicholas, he used ‘Sophie; and his lawyers have announced that they will from now on refer to him “as Sophie and use female pronouns.” Later the same year that a transgender assassin tried to murder a Supreme Court justice, a transgender cu...
