Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was not impressed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s sudden ability to keep his mouth shut about U.S. military plans. Newsmax host Todd Starnes offered his congratulations to Hegseth Saturday for pulling off sweeping strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities without giving up the game. “Not a single leak. Well done, @SecDef,” Starnes wrote in a post on X. The New York Democrat didn’t see that as quite the cause for celebration. “This is like applauding a grown man for being able to wipe their behind,” Cortez responded in a post on X. “Not exactly a vote of...

A failed rapper and Democratic socialist has emerged as the frontrunner in New York City's mayoral race. Zohran Mamdani, 33, is going head to head with former New York City Governor Andrew Cuomo in trying to secure the Democratic primary nomination. According to Polymarket, Mamdani pulled ahead to become the favorite on Monday, just one day ahead of the primary vote. The poll gives him a 61 percent chance of winning. It is a marked shift from late May, when Cuomo still had a 91 percent chance of winning, according to the cryptocurrency betting market. Mamdani is currently a three-term...

New York is planning to build the nation’s first new major nuclear power plant in more than 15 years, Gov. Kathy Hochul said Monday. The “zero-admission advanced” plant in an upstate New York location still to be determined would generate 1 gigawatt of electricity — enough to juice up to 1 million homes, Hochul said. “If we don’t increase New York’s electricity supply in a major way, we’re going to risk losing our opportunities,” Hochul told a crowd outside the Niagara Power Project, a generating facility downstream from Niagara Falls. “They can go elsewhere, but we want them here.” The...

When people think of American commerce, they think of New York. And when people think of American Jewish culture, they also think of New York, which has the largest Jewish community of any city in the world outside of Israel. But if the polls are correct, New York may soon have a mayor who is an avowed Marxist and an antisemite. (And yes, I equate anti-Zionism directly with antisemitism.)

Tonight this creep is attacking Trump for attacking Iran; earlier this month he was taunting Trump for negotiating with Iran. There is no brain left; there is just a partisan reflex. What Trump does is wrong; no other thoughts exist or are even necessary. *********************************************************** Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer · Jun 2 If TACO Trump is already folding on Iran, the American people need to know about it. No side deals. 0:36 VIDEO AT LINK.................

President Trump sending U.S. troops to bomb Iran without the consent of Congress is a blatant violation of our Constitution.

@RepMTG My thoughts on bombing Iran. I don’t know anyone in America who has been the victim of a crime or killed by Iran, but I know many people who have been victims of crime committed by criminal illegal aliens or MURDERED by Cartel and Chinese fentanyl/drugs. Almost everyone in our country can relate to this fact. However America has not dropped bunker busters on the Cartel’s sophisticated drug tunnels, launched tomahawks on massive cartel poisonous drug operations, or gone to war against the cartels international terrorists networks. Neocon warmongers beat their drums of war and act like Billy badasses...

Democrat politicians reached screeching levels of hypocrisy over Donald Trump's decision to act rather than wait for an Iranian nuclear weapon deployment. Chuck Schumer demanded action from Congress, as did Hakeem Jeffries. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez led calls for impeachment. Practically every Democrat on Capitol Hill -- with the notable exception of John Fetterman -- rushed to promote their "authoritarian" narrative about Trump. All of this venting reveals very short memories on the port side of Capitol Hill. Fourteen years ago, they couldn't get enough of presidential strikes on a nation in the very same region. Remember Hillary Clinton's chortling over the...

Speaking with Rachel Maddow on Saturday night, MSNBC's Ayman Mohyeldin repeatedly suggested that Benjamin Netanyahu "dog-walked" President Trump into attacking Iran.Mohyeldin's dehumanizing claim was that Trump might have been unaware of Israel's intent to attack Iran, and that Netanyahu knew: "That at some point the political pressure domestically among Republicans, supporters of Israel and their base [the Joos!], are going to put this pressure on the president to get involved on behalf of Israel. Mohyeldin also suggested that Netanyahu was "running circles" around Trump. Shades of Ilhan Omar accusing Israel of "hypnotizing" the world. Those sly Jews, with their infernal...

The Biden administration and the Saudis are reportedly cooking up a deal.Under the terms of the agreement, the Saudis will get nuclear capability, defense guarantees and a terrorist state inside Israel. And what will the United States get? Temporarily lower prices.The Saudis are not offering to boost oil production to bring down prices as a favor to America, but to Biden. And it’s an election quid-pro-quo that may cost millions of Americans their lives.After draining the strategic petroleum reserve ahead of the midterms, Biden has been unable to refill it because his environmentalist allies and the Saudis have kept prices...

“No president should be allowed to unilaterally march this nation into something as consequential as war with erratic threats and no strategy,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), a longtime Iran hawk, said in a statement.

Among the larger states, the two that are closest to each other in population and demographics are New York and Florida. According to the latest U.S. Census data (from July 1, 2024), the population of New York was 19,867,248, while the population of Florida was 23,372,215.

Yet in terms of the approach to state government — taxing, spending, and government programs overall...

Gov. Kathy Hochul shut down Democratic Socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s plan to hike taxes on some New Yorkers — as she admitted high costs were pushing residents to move out of state. Hochul was asked in a TV interview if she backed Mamdani’s plan to tax wealthy New Yorkers and up the corporate tax and flatly replied, “No.” “I’m not raising taxes at a time where affordability is the big issue,” Hochul told PIX 11. Mamdani has said he would impose a 2% income tax on Big Apple residents who make more than $1 million a year and inflate...

Progressive Squad Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and a chorus of Democrats called on President Trump to be impeached after he decided to bomb top nuclear facilities of Iran — blasting the move as “unconstitutional.” “The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers,” Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) declared not long after Trump announced the attack. “He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

Iran reserves all options to defend its security, Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said Sunday, adding Tehran could not return to diplomacy while under attack by Israel and the United States, and would consult with Russia on Monday. "The U.S. showed they have no respect for international law. They only understand the language of threat and force," Araqchi said, adding that Tehran has to respond based on its rights before diplomacy can be reconsidered. The Iranian foreign minister said he will fly to Russia, with whom Iran has a strategic partnership, and consult with President Vladimir Putin on Monday.

Former U.S. President Bill Clinton, speaking today (Saturday), called for urgent efforts to defuse the escalating Israel-Iran war, criticizing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s motives and highlighting the devastating civilian toll. In remarks made during a public event, Clinton suggested that Netanyahu’s aggressive stance against Iran is partly driven by a desire to remain in power, stating, “Mr. Netanyahu has long wanted to fight Iran, because that way he can stay in office forever and ever.” Clinton urged de-escalation, expressing hope that President Donald Trump and other leaders would work to calm the situation. “I think we should be trying...

Rep. Sean Casten (D-Il.) said late Saturday that President Trump’s move to bomb Iranian nuclear sites without congressional approval amounts to an “unambiguous impeachable offense.” “This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program,” Casten said in a post on the social platform X. “No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.”
