  • BIGGER PICTURE: No good deed goes unpunished

    At the end of January 2026, a colleague’s piece about a couple that was down on its luck was published in the Finger Lakes Times. They were apparently homeless, living out of an abandoned camper and their car for the previous 11 months. A short time later a connection was facilitated with the couple and Doris Wolf, 84. The longtime Junius resident offered a downstairs apartment in her home. The rent was made affordable since the couple lived on Social Security disability benefits with a combined income of $1,800 per month. Doris waived the first or last month’s deposit. For...

    The Democratic Socialists of America are plotting a radical takeover of NYC public schools, with comrades admitting they want to mold a new generation of baby Bolsheviks, The Post has learned. Maureen Fadem — yet another nutty professor working for a CUNY school — called for kids to be educated in a “democratic socialist frame” and to be taught the Godfathers of Communism Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, despite their writing inspiring some of the most murderous dictators in history, from Stalin to Mao. “We need to overhaul the curriculum in a class consciousness frame. . . . The curriculum...

    The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation has fired a staff attorney after an internal investigation into an anti-ICE social media tirade that prompted widespread criticism, the agency confirmed to Fox News Digital Friday. "Once we were made aware of her social media post, we opened an internal investigation," a spokesperson for the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation told Fox News Digital in a statement Friday. "Upon completion of the internal investigation, she was terminated. Since this is a personnel matter, we are unable to further comment at this time." The termination follows Fox News Digital's earlier reporting that the fired...

    Democratic Connecticut Attorney General William Tong’s office is seeking free help to sue gun companies, according to a July 17 request for proposals — but the document has a weird criterion for picking out who he wants to work with. The RFP from Tong’s office included some unusual requests, including asking firms to explain their efforts to promote “diversity,” listing “Workforce diversity, as evidence by the contractor’s current workforce diversity and its explanation of its current diversity and any plans or efforts it describes to improve or broaden its diversity” as one of its selection criteria. Democratic Connecticut Gov. Ned...

    The Washington Post ^ | July 26 | By Dan Diamond
    Anthony S. Fauci, the former government official who helped lead the nation’s coronavirus response, is set to again face Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), who has spent years accusing Fauci of playing a role in the virus’s creation. Paul, the chairman of the Senate’s government oversight committee, announced Thursday morning that Fauci will testify on Wednesday after being subpoenaed. Paul has been investigating the potential origins of the outbreak. Fauci, who last testified in front of Congress in June 2024, has repeatedly denied accusations from Paul and other Republicans as “preposterous.” The 85-year-old former National Institutes of Health (NIH) official left...
  • Court checks Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker as Trump administration scores another immigration win

    Fox News via NY Post ^ | 7/26/26 | Elaine Mallon
    Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker was dealt a major legal blow Friday after a federal judge gutted key state laws providing in-state tuition, financial aid and scholarships to illegal immigrants, marking another win for the Trump administration’s nationwide immigration agenda. US District Judge Stephen McGlynn, a Trump appointee serving in the Southern District of Illinois, sided with the Justice Department, ruling that Illinois’ in-state tuition policies, the RISE Act and the Illinois DREAM Act are “unconstitutional and invalid” as they apply to illegal immigrants. The ruling permanently prevents Illinois from enforcing the laws, although McGlynn delayed the order from taking effect...
  • From Swalwell to Gallego to Gray: Democrats’ Slush Fund Scandal Spreads

    Townhall ^ | 7/21/26 | Amy Curtis
    **SNIP** Now another person with close ties to Swalwell appears to be using his campaign account like a personal slush fund. That's Adam Gray, who was co-chair of Swalwell's failed gubernatorial campaign. Gray, who was once a member of the California Assembly, had a reputation in the state legislature for taking charter flights and staying at luxury resorts. When he was elected to Congress, he reportedly kept living large, running up campaign expenses for limousine services, Uber rides, and more than $16,000 on Major League Baseball (MLB) tickets. FEC documents show that Gray's campaign spent more than $5,000 on limousine...

    Vice President JD Vance and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine both raised concerns about escalating the war in Iran as President Donald Trump weighed the possibility during a White House meeting on Friday, a source familiar with the matter and a US official told CNN. On Friday night, the US appeared to pause its bombing campaign on Iran after nearly two weeks of consecutive nights of strikes. Operations are “on a hold,” a Department of Defense source told CNN on Saturday. On Friday, Caine specifically raised concerns about the US munitions stockpile and other potential...

    New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani admits he lacks the legal authority to arrest the Israeli prime minister. But what does the episode say about the Democratic socialist's worldview? Plus, what can the GOP still accomplish this year in Congress? New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani has been running a campaign to demonize Israel and its supporters for committing “genocide[sic].” He should reconsider after Thursday’s double-stabbing in New York, which included a kippah-wearing Jew attacked after exiting a synagogue. Police arrested Raul Morales in connection with the stabbings. The mayor said victim and witness statements allege that Mr. Morales yelled “Allahu...

    President Trump halted new US strikes on Iran as he weighs whether Tehran is ready to cut a deal — while a wider regional war appears to be spreading into another critical shipping corridor. After 13 consecutive days of attacks, Trump instructed the US military to pause any additional strikes against Iran Friday, Axios reported Saturday, which cited two people familiar with the decision. But the president has made clear that the temporary halt does not mean Washington is backing down. In a brief phone interview with France’s LCI news, Trump said he was still prepared to restart a major...

    The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen targeted Saudi Arabia’s Aramco oil company on Saturday with missiles and drones, marking a significant escalation in the second front of the ongoing Iran conflict. President Trump issued new warnings against Iran this week, threatening to hit one power plant or bridge for every ship they hit in the Strait of Hormuz after Iran attacked another tanker near the coast of Oman on Tuesday. The President has further said that he is weighing a “massive” attack on Iran, which would be “bigger than ever before,” he said. “They haven’t received enough pain yet,” Trump said...

    I was only a year old when the UK's deadliest terror attack shocked the world. In December 1988, Pan Am flight 103 exploded over the Scottish town of Lockerbie, killing all 259 people on board as well as 11 on the ground. I was a teenager by the time Libyan intelligence officer Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was convicted of the bombing in 2001 and, when he later died, I thought that was largely the end of the story. It wasn't. The case still rumbles on and, later this year, a man suspected of making the bomb which blew up the plane, Abu...
