At the last minute, Democrat leaders have jumped on the Mamdani bandwagon.Hakeem “Temu Obama” Jeffries, the House Minority Leader and a congressman from New York City, did not want to endorse Zohran Mamdani.Jeffries especially didn’t want to endorse Mamdani in the middle of a government shutdown that his party caused by filibustering a short-term budget continuing resolution that, in a few days, will result in missed paychecks for essential federal workers and a suspension of benefits for recipients of programs like SNAP, which is what the old food stamp program has become.To do so is to embrace a full...

Talking about terror sleeper cells may seem kind of passé in 2025. Do we remember how the notion of these secret cells struck fear in American hearts during the post 9/11 era? Well, I don’t want to burst your bubble, but it appears sleeper cells are back. Over the past year, it appears that Western intelligence agencies have been quietly mobilizing their assets and warning local authorities about the prospect that their countries may be facing serious, new terror attacks from embedded terror sleeper cells – cells that currently live quiet lives in our societies. According to the highly regarded...

New York City’s mayoral election seems to have only reinforced John Rocker’s feelings about the Big Apple. The former Braves relief pitcher took to X on Tuesday to voice his opinion on the state of the race in which democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani is favored to win. Rocker, who made headlines with his incendiary comments about New York during an interview for a Sports Illustrated feature in 1999, once again expressed his dislike of the city. “25 years ago I criticized New York for it’s rapid decline into a third world country,” Rocker started his post. “I was forced to...

Within hours of her 2016 presidential campaign loss, a devastated Hillary Clinton attributed her defeat not to the American voters who rejected her, but to Russia, echoing a campaign theme she had been developing for months. “Hillary declined to take responsibility for her own loss” and “kept pointing her finger” at Russia, according to Shattered, a 2017 book about her campaign—“Her team coalesced around the idea that Russian hacking was the major unreported story of the campaign.”The corporate media were also devastated, as they had spent the entire campaign mocking the idea that Trump and his anti-establishment positions on foreign...

“Puerto Rico doesn’t have to be ‘American’ to be a friend of America. Let it be what it already is — a nation.”So editorializes Javier A. Hernández, a Puerto Rican author, linguist, educator, and former federal official. And Hernández is one more thing, too: a pro-Puerto Rico sovereignty advocate. So his passions are clear. Yet so is his point:Should Puerto Rico ever become a state, it would never, ever assimilate into the United States.Nor would it be reasonable to expect it to.Absorbing the island would be, in fact, a bit like accepting Spain as the 51st state and counting on...
