Earlier today, the Gateway Pundit reported that some Jewish people are planning to flee New York City after communist Muslim Zohran Mamdani won the Democrat primary race for mayor. Now it’s being reported that some real estate brokers in New York City were flooded with calls from people looking to flee the city within minutes of Mamdani’s win. People are horrified by the prospect of this man being in charge of America’s most iconic city. From the New York Post: Luxury real-estate brokers say wealthy New Yorkers are already looking to flee after Zohran Mamdani’s primary win Within minutes of...

Going to be a get together of international independent journalists, podcasters, bloggers, etc., on 9 August 2025 in central London. Idea is to network and mutually support one another in taking control of the Narrative from the MSM Internationale, and eventually relegate them to the ash heap. Transcript linked below video.

Republican senators are pushing back hard on hundreds of billions of dollars in Medicaid cuts included in the Senate version of President Trump’s budget reconciliation package, endangering Senate Majority Leader John Thune’s (R-S.D.) plan for a vote as soon as Friday. Two Republicans are a hard “no” on the bill — Sens. Rand Paul (Ky.) and Ron Johnson (Wis.) — and a handful of other Republicans won’t say whether they’ll vote to begin debate on the package because they are concerned that deep cuts in Medicaid spending could cause millions of Americans to lose their coverage and push scores of...

Iran’s so-called “Supreme Leader” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei emerged from exile Thursday to claim victory over Israel and said his country had “delivered a hand slap to America’s face” in his first public comments since a ceasefire was declared in the war between the two countries. AP reports Khamenei spoke in a video broadcast on Iranian state television, his first public appearance since June 19 and aside from his sweeping claims on social media. Viewers were told the U.S. had only intervened in the war because “it felt that if it did not intervene, the Zionist regime would be utterly destroyed.”...

Citing new intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, director of national intelligence, said that Iranian nuclear facilities have been destroyed by U.S. airstrikes and that if the Iranians attempted to rebuild those facilities it would likely take them years. The new Gabbard statement comes as a separate early intelligence assessment found that the United States failed to destroy core component of the Iranian nuclear capacity. According to details of that assessment which were leaked to CNN Tuesday, the strikes only set back Iran by a matter of months. That report was a product of the Defense Intelligence Agency, the intelligence arm of the...

A Queens woman found what looked like a phone buried in her front lawn — but it wasn’t just lost property. Mary Kehoe, who’s lived in her Forest Hills home for 35 years, spotted the strange device outside. It looked like an Android phone wrapped in black tape, with only the camera exposed — like it was made to watch, not call. “Why us? I had lots of things going through my head as to why they chose our lawn but realized we are in the middle of the block,” Kehoe told KTVZ 21. Experts warn that these kinds of...

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth defended the US strikes on Iran and forcefully criticized the media’s coverage of early intelligence assessments of the impact of Saturday’s bombing run targeting Iranian nuclear facilities in a Pentagon press conference on Thursday. “I hope, with all the ink spilled, all of your outlets find the time to properly recognize this historic change in continental security that other presidents tried to do, other presidents talked about,” Hegseth said. “President Trump accomplished it. It’s a huge deal.” He criticized media reporting of a preliminary US intelligence assessment that suggested the strike did not obliterate core...

Just one African-American candidate will appear on the ballot for Mayor of Mobile. Lawrence Battiste and Jermaine Burrell withdrew from the race Wednesday and officially endorsed Barbara Drummond. “This moment we’re in calls for unity,” said Burrell, a former Mobile city councilman. Battiste, a former police chief, says polling showed that none of the three black candidates was likely to make a runoff. “You need to position yourself to be one or two,” Battiste said. “If you’re not one or two, it doesn’t matter. Number three is the first loser. So, the goal is how do we come together and...

To most rational observers, the public antics of the Democrats appear counterproductive if they ever wish to emerge from the political wilderness. On all the most important issues, they champion wildly unpopular positions and employ asinine tactics that alienate most voters. Nowhere is this trend more obvious than when it comes to illegal immigration. In recent weeks, we have been subjected to absurd PR stunts by people like Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA), who crashed a press conference being held by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and attempted to force his way past Secret Service while screaming at her....

"MOM, WHY ARE YOU STILL AT WORK?” Ms. Akhtar’s 24-year-old son, Humza Mehfuz, wrote to her. “YOU HAVE TO VOTE!” While Ms. Akhtar had previously supported Mr. Mamdani’s main opponent, Andrew M. Cuomo, when he ran for governor and, years before that, had voted for his father, former Gov. Mario Cuomo, she told her children to calm down. After their relentless campaign of showing her TikTok videos of Mr. Mamdani — “This kid is brilliant,” she had to admit, “and so friendly!” — she had made her decision. “All of Cuomo’s ads tried to make Mamdani look like a terrorist,”...

In a stunning upset on Tuesday, 33-year-old Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani beat veteran politico and former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary for New York City mayor. With comparisons to the likes of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), experts have framed the victory as symbolic of where the Democratic party may be headed — away from the older and moderate toward a younger and bolder progressive future. Mamdani’s win may also indicate strong public support for transgender rights and shows that it is not politically dangerous for Democrats to stand by the trans community. If elected, Mamdani has...

After months of threats, the other shoe just dropped: The U.S. Department of Education announced Wednesday morning that California violated Title IX by allowing transgender athletes to compete in girls sports. An investigation found that California violated Title IX’s guarantee of “equality in opportunity” by “allowing males in girls sports and intimate spaces” — a reference to locker rooms and restrooms.

This article is not intended to be an exhaustive exposition on antisemitism, nor does it attempt to cover every nuance or detail. Rather, this is a heartfelt call to awareness and discernment. The goal is to shine a light on a spiritual and societal darkness that has endured through millennia: the deep-rooted hatred for the Jewish people. My prayer is that as you read, you would do so with wisdom and humility. Seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit as you process these truths. And if you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, I urge you to take...

President Donald Trump reacts to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte referring to him as a “daddy” in dealing with the Israel-Iran conflict.

The brown bear (Ursus arctos) populations of the world are essentially the same animal, although known by different names. The European brown bear, the Hokkaido brown bear in Japan, the brown bear in Russia, the grizzly bear and kodiak bears in Alaska, and the grizzly bears in Canada and the lower 48 states are genetically the same bear with minor variations. Brown bears are complex mammals that can learn and adapt. Brown bears quickly learn whether humans are dangerous or not. When brown bears are actively hunted, they learn humans are dangerous predators and learn to avoid humans. When the...

"Trump and Israel dismantled Iran’s terror mystique in days—no nukes, no saviors, just a regime stewing in its own impotence as the world quietly moved on." It is hard even to digest the incredible train of events of the last few days in the Middle East. Iran had been reduced to an anemic, performance-art missile attack on our base in Qatar—the last Parthian shot from a terrified regime, desperate for an out—and a ceasefire. Iran would have been better off not launching such a ceremonial but ultimately humiliating proof of impotence. Even worse for the theocracy, Iran’s temporary reprieve came...

The Democrat reaction to the bombing of Iranian nuclear sites exemplified all that’s wrong with the Left today. Suddenly, the same Democrats who cheered Obama’s endless airstrikes were invoking the War Powers Act and demanding congressional approval. Why? Because this time it was Trump’s America that hit back. Their volatile, inconsistent messaging isn’t new. Victor Davis Hanson unpacks the deeper story behind the chaos of how the Democrat Party has surrendered to its most radical base on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

“Then they approached and spoke before the king about the king’s injunction, ‘Did you not sign an injunction that any man who makes a petition to any god or man besides you, O king, for thirty days, is to be cast into the lions’ den?’ The king answered and said, ‘The statement is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which may not be revoked.’ Then they answered and spoke before the king, ‘Daniel, who is one of the exiles from Judah, pays no attention to you, O king, or to the injunction which you signed, but...
