Zohran Mamdani, though not terribly popular, has received a “thank you” message from an unlikely source.
A city in California has been using tax money to…raise taxes. I’m not kidding.
And the co-chair for the Democratic Socialists of America proves that the Democratic socialists have no idea what they are doing.
A Special Thanks
According to the Post Millennial:
In a decided shot at DSA-backed New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, the Florida Chamber of Commerce has officially launched a Times Square campaign dubbing the socialist mayor as Floridaâs Economic Developer of the Year through a massive billboard at the corner of Broadway and West 43rd Street in Manhattan.
“We wanted to thank him for the jobs, the companies, the people that they’re pushing out of New York â and a lot of them are coming to Florida,” Chamber CEO Mark Wilson first told Fox News.
“America is at a crossroads right now. I think everyone that’s paying attention knows that our country was built on freedom and free enterprise and people having the liberty to make their dreams come true,” he said. “And there’s a push in our country right now to take those liberties away and to attack free enterprise. And that’s never worked anywhere, and it won’t work in America.”
“What Mayor Mamdani is doing is dangerous for the country, right? It’s bad for New Yorkers. It’s bad for New York. It’s very harmful for the country,” Wilson continued. “We can choose free enterprise, which is what America was built on, or we can choose to destroy that, which is what the social[ist] policies do⌠And so, what we’re hoping happens from this campaign is that we refocus America on free enterprise.”
Wilson insisted that the campaign is meant to encourage the free exchange of capital rather than to tear New York down. He said he wanted every state to thrive.
“Even though Florida is winning right now, we’re not looking for New York to lose,” he said. “We’re hoping that these other states will say ânoâ to this move towards socialism and say âyesâ to the very policies that our country was founded on,” he said. “This isn’t about spiking a football or looking at the scoreboard about Florida versus New York. This is really about trying to save our country from crazy.”
Spending taxpayer money to convince taxpayers to pay more taxes â itâs a California specialty.
But it seems Nevada County went too far, as the stateâs political watchdogs found the Lake Tahoe-area jurisdiction spent more than $34,000 in taxpayer money trying to convince residents to raise their own taxes â and now that failed campaign is poised to cost county taxpayers another $31,500.
Californiaâs Fair Political Practices Commission is scheduled to vote Aug. 20 on a proposed settlement stemming from Nevada Countyâs promotion of Measure V, a 2022 ballot measure that would have raised the county sales tax by half a percentage point for 10 years.
Measure V was pitched as a way to generate roughly $12 million annually for wildfire prevention, emergency services and disaster preparedness. But voters werenât convinced.
The measure received just 48.41% of the vote and failed â despite Nevada County spending $34,614 in public funds on two mailers that state regulators determined crossed the line from informing residents into political advocacy.
The first mailer landed in the mailboxes of 33,351 residents in October 2022 at a cost of $17,708 and touted Measure V as âresponsive to community priorities,â including preventing wildfires, improving evacuation routes, enhancing emergency communications and helping low-income seniors and people with disabilities.
But regulators found the county buried the less attractive part â the half-percent sales-tax hike â in the smallest font, while emphasizing the measureâs benefits.
This is the way, for anyone in politics. Make them fully explain their positions, the way in which they will implement it, and the reason why they have the position to being with (i.e. what specific problem is this solving). https://t.co/7XA7nYPpH4
Dr. Tony Fauci can’t keep the truth out of his diary, and guess what happened when we found the diary? He lied about COVID-19. What is he going to tell Congress about all his lies?

Americans buried parents alone. Children lost years of childhood. Families watched businesses they had built over a lifetime disappear.

Mayor Zohran Mamdaniâs administration has published a searchable database of Big Apple properties that could fall under the stateâs new pied-Ă -terre tax, effectively doxxing thousands of wealthy New Yorkers.
The cityâs Department of Finance uploaded the comprehensive list â which purports to cover all unoccupied, non-primary residences in the five boroughs worth north of $1 million â including the full names and addresses of every property owner.
âItâs a reckless and foolish move, especially considering there are potentially thousands of properties on this list that do not qualify as second homes or whose owners will successfully dispute their inclusion,â Council Minority Leader David Carr (R-Staten Island) â whose own home appears on the list â told The Post Monday.
âThe best city in the world deserves the best parks, libraries, and schools in the world. Thatâs only possible when we all pay our fair share,â Mamdani wrote Thursday.
The socialist darling has long touted the policy enacted by Gov. Kathy Hochul and Albany Democrats to tax second homes in the city â though critics have warned it could cause property values to plummet.
Mamdani threatened to raise city property taxes by a staggering 9.5% in February unless he was allowed to âtax the richâ to cover a $12 billion budget gap that was later revised down to $5.4 billion.
City Hall estimates the pied-Ă -terre tax would yield $500 million per year for the Big Appleâs budget.
But Democratic city Comptroller Mark Levineâs office said the real figure would be closer to $340 to $380 million and could diminish over time.
Unsurprisingly, the colossal database of names and addresses included several A-list New Yorkers, including director Woody Allen, longtime Vogue editor Anna Wintour and actress Cynthia Nixon â a loyal Mamdani supporter.
Mamdaniâs administration published the names and addresses of New York property owners he wants to tax more.
That is not simply a tax policy. It is a list designed to expose people to harassment, threats, and potentially worse.
The Bolsheviks targeted the government officials and all those in their orbit to the point they all had to go into hiding.
Stalin did it to the Kulaks in the 1930s, 40s, and 50s, arresting them and throwing them in the gulags.
Mao did it with the business and property owners using the Red Guard (our Antifa). Arresting, humiliating, and even killing anyone who was productive, prosperous, or educated.
Mamdani is doing exactly the same thing.
He wants to make New York City into the third world.
He wants anyone who is successful to leave New York City.
Even his city-run grocery stores are made to destroy the economy.
This is what communism does.
Mamdani is a child who wants and wants and wants. All for himself.
A growing grassroots effort led by families of 9/11 victims is demanding that New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani be banned from attending the upcoming 25th anniversary ceremony at Ground Zero.
The group pointed to his long record of troubling ties, radical associations, and statements regarding Islamic extremism.
A petition posted on Change.org has already garnered more than 5,200 signatures, including over 300 from family members of 9/11 victims. It contends that Mamdaniâs presence at the Ground Zero event would be an insult to the memory of the nearly 3,000 Americans murdered by al-Qaeda terrorists.
Organizer Giovanni Galante, who lost his 29-year-old wife Grace in the attack, stressed that the silver-anniversary ceremony must remain a sacred space for mourning rather than a platform for figures connected to far-left anti-American rhetoric. âThis day is sacred to us,â he said. âIt is not political, and it is not a platform for those connected to such views. His presence would be deeply hurtful and inappropriate â like an unwelcome guest at a deeply personal ceremony.â
The petition centers its objection on Mamdaniâs public record, citing âconcerns [that] have been raised about Mr. Mamdaniâs public positions, associations, and responses to rhetoric that many perceive as hostile to these shared values.â
Zohran Mamdani reads off a script as he ignores the wishes of 9/11 survivors.
REPORTER: How do you feel about survivors asking you not to go to memorial services? Â MAMDANI: "I will proudly honor the families, the survivors, the first responders…by standing alongside them." pic.twitter.com/A0BbL4qpFk
Of course he’s going. That’s because it’s a mockery of the tragedy that happened 25 years ago. It is confirmation that we have forgotten about that aweful terrorist attack.
It also is a symbol of how Islam defeated us, that a radical Islamist could show up at the memorial.
There will be a lot of comments made b y this piece of shit before the anniversery. Do not be shocked that he says we must understand the terrorists. It’s coming.
New York City keeps proving they hate their own people.
Los Angeles is finally admitting their “most beautiful” park is actually a crap hole. I could have told you that 30 years ago.
And the American Federation of Teachers is no longer hiding the fact they are indoctrinating your kids to be little communists. Please start listening to these people!
This Will Fix Everything…Not!
According to the Post Millennial:
Socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has quietly made a pilot program that pays drug users for their used needles permanent. Critics say the move will only encourage more drug use as those who use drugs will be incentivized to turn in more used needles for cash.
You think?
According to a report from the New York Post, the Big Apple’s budget for the fiscal year includes $3 million to maintain the Health Departmentâs Community Syringe Redemption Program. The program pays junkies 20 cents per syringe turned in. Those using drugs can get paid for up to 50 used needles a day for $10, and can turn them in at eight different drop-off sites. The sites are located in the Bronx, Queens, Manhattan, and Brooklyn.
The program was piloted as something that would get used needles off the streets and off public property, and was initially approved with legislation that was passed in 2022. The official program started in 2025. Republican Queens Councilwoman Joann Ariola slammed the program, saying that the cashâprovided to the users through $189 million in settlement funds from opioid manufacturers and distributorsââshould all be going toward addiction treatment services” instead of paying drug users for their used needles.
So, essentially, this is a program started to give money won in a lawsuit to bureaucrats.
Over 2.3 million needles have been collected with the program over its first 16 months, leading to payouts of nearly $300,000 in cash. The program was supposed to help the Sanitation Department with its efforts in picking up used needles around parks and other public places, but the department says that they are still picking up the same number of needles as before the program was launched.
So this program isn’t even doing what it was intended to do.
Some things:
The Left loves drug use by its people.
It keeps people stupid.
It keeps people voting blue because Dems are the only ones that support this.
It keeps people addicted, not only to drugs, but to government services like this one.
It keeps people sedated, literally, from protesting the trashing of their city.
The Left hates America and this is just another way to undermine America.
New York Cityâs jails watchdog is set to go woke â scrapping the words âinmateâ and âinmatesâ from its rule book and replacing them with âpeople in custodyâ or âperson in custody.â
The proposed rule change for the Board of Correction swaps the words âinmateâ or âinmatesâ with âpeople in custodyâ or âperson in custodyâ more than 300 times.
Criminal justice advocates claim that âinmatesâ a derogatory term for incarcerated criminal defendants or convicts.
âIn 2021, the Board made a commitment to employ person-first language in its Minimum Standards and communications by deleting references to inmatesâ in favor of personfirst terms such as people in custody and using gender inclusive language in Chapter 1 of the Minimum Standards,â the proposed rule says.
âThe Board proposes continuing this vital effort in Chapters 2 and 3.â
âIndividuals impacted by the criminal justice system have long noted that terms such as felon, inmate, prisoner, and convict dehumanize individuals and perpetuate the idea that incarcerated people should be permanently demonized and stigmatized,â a Hochul release at the time said.
Some things:
Again, manipulating language is what the Left does.
By “humanizing” the language, the Left is hoping to ignore the evil these people have done in order for them to join their coalition.
The Left does the same thing with other words like “gender” and “gender affirming care” or “pro-choice.”
And it’s not like they just want to add words for these people. They want to rid the other words from the language.
If you refuse to stop using the correct language, you’re a fascist, racist, sexist, homophobe, or whatever.
The word “retard” or saying “Merry Christmas” are important to you, just ignore when these people start changing definitions.
The Trump administration threw cold water on New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdaniâs dream of arresting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling the proposal âpure political theater.â
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz responded on Saturday after Mamdani revealed he was in âactive conversationâ with New York Cityâs Law Department over whether he could order Netanyahuâs arrest if the Israeli leader visits New York for the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in September.
âMayor Mamdani: hereâs why your threat to arrest PM Netanyahu in NYC during UNGA is not going to happen,â Waltz wrote on X. He went on to elaborate that the United States is not a party to the Rome Statute that established the International Criminal Court (ICC), the U.N. Headquarters Agreement grants diplomatic protections to visiting heads of government, longstanding head-of-state immunity applies, and âfederal authority trumps any local mayorâs wishes.â
âThis is pure political theater,â Waltz concluded.
Mamdani has repeatedly argued that Netanyahu should be arrested over an International Criminal Court warrant accusing the Israeli prime minister of war crimes and crimes against humanity related to Israelâs war against Hamas in Gaza.
âI believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in The Hague,â Mamdani said during an interview with The New York Times. âHeâs a war criminal who has been charged by the International Criminal Court.â
While acknowledging uncertainty over his legal authority, Mamdani said his administration is actively reviewing whether New York City could detain Netanyahu if he arrives for the annual U.N. General Assembly. âWhatever the law allows me to do in New York City, thatâs what we will do, but we wonât be writing our own laws to that end,â he said.
The comments marked a continuation of promises Mamdani made during last yearâs mayoral campaign, when he pledged to direct the New York Police Department to arrest Netanyahu if he entered the city in compliance with the ICC warrant. At the time, Mamdani said, âIt is my desire to ensure that this be a city that stands up for international law.â
Legal experts have long questioned whether such an arrest would be possible, noting that the United States does not recognize the ICCâs jurisdiction and that any attempt by a city government to detain a sitting foreign head of government would almost certainly trigger a confrontation with federal authorities.
Some things:
Let’s go with the concept of the idea first, not the reality.
Zohran Mamdani has no business performing a federal job concerning international. If the government wanted to acknowledge the ICC’s warrant, the Secretary of State will deal with that, not the mayor of New York.
This shows us the immature thinking (and I mean that) of Zohran Mamdani. He thinks New York City is its own little kingdom and he is the king.
This is why he puts his two cents into everything involving international affairs. He believes his he has a say in world affairs. This makes his dangerous.
In reality, the ICC is feckless.
Unlike what the movies say, the ICC is a very weak organization that is made up of about 123 countries.
The United States, Russia, India, Israel and China do not acknowledge the ICC.
Over the last 10 years, 6 additional countries decided not to acknowledge the ICC.
Finally, Ben Netenyahu is the most hated man in the world. What do you think his security is going to be like?
Shocking new records reveal the filthy reality of Los Angelesâ notoriously rundown MacArthur Park â where city crews hauled away nearly 13 million pounds of trash and hazardous waste last year.
Records obtained by The California Post through a public records request show sanitation workers dragged out more more than 6,359 tons of disgusting debris in 2025, including a staggering 142,329 pounds of human waste.
The records paint a disturbing picture of one of Los Angelesâ most promising public spaces, which has been plagued by homelessness and open drug use for years under the leadership of lefty Councilwoman Eunisses Hernandez, whose district includes the park.
Hernandez has supported city-funded programs that distributed tens of thousands of syringes and crack pipes in the public space, pouring more than $27 million into the park and surrounding area.
Last year, the cityâs intensive cleanup program CARE+ â which closes portions of the park while sanitation workers, police, hazardous-waste crews and other agencies remove dangerous materials â carried out 7,111 operations in MacArthur Park.
Among the material removed were 142,329 pounds of human waste, nearly 24,000 pounds of discarded syringes and sharps, more than 107,000 pounds of flammable materials, nearly 42,000 pounds of corrosive chemicals, more than 19,000 pounds of toxins and poisons, more than 32,000 pounds of petroleum products, and thousands of pounds of compressed gases and reactive chemicals requiring specialized disposal.
In all, crews hauled away 12.7 million pounds of solid waste, record show.
Some things:
Make drug use illegal.
Make drug possession illegal.
Make selling drugs illegal.
Make littering illegal.
Make homelessness illegal.
Make loitering illegal.
Bring back asylums for the mentally ill.
Bring back asylums back for the drug addicted.
Require forced incarceration for drug addicts and the mentally ill.
Make crime illegal and have consequences. Problem solved.

A terror plot was exposed that targeted the UFC Freedom 250 even to kill all the billionaires. We will talk about it since the mainstream media won’t.
A big company will discontinue using the Southern Poverty Law Center’s hate map when in comes to their charity program.
And Gavin Newsom is being investigated and he’s yelling at Trump. There’s just one problem.
Why Does This Keep Happening?
According to Fox News:
The FBI and its law enforcement partners disrupted an alleged plot targeting this weekendâs UFC Freedom 250 event in Washington, D.C., officials told Fox News Digital.
Five people were in custody as of Monday, and investigators identified 23 people as part of a potential network of plotters. The alleged plan involved using explosive-laden drones to hit buildings near the event, force a mass evacuation and steer crowds toward a pre-staged sniper team, officials said.
A “second wave” was then allegedly planned to storm the White House gate, according to officials.
The FBI first learned of the threat on June 10 and worked with partners to secure probable cause for an arrest in Cincinnati, where one suspect was taken into custody.
Later in the article:
Investigators later uncovered Signal chats in which multiple people allegedly discussed attacking the UFC event. An initial review of one suspectâs iPhone identified at least 23 Signal users discussing pre-operational activity, officials said.
Some of those involved allegedly planned to travel to Fredericksburg, Virginia, on June 12 or 13 to prepare for the attack.
One suspect allegedly told investigators the goal was to target “capitalist elites,” “billionaires” or politicians who received donations from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
The investigation stretched across at least 12 FBI field offices.
DoorDash has officially ended a policy that automatically blocked certain nonprofits from its employee giving program after criticism from investors and advocacy groups.
According to a report by The Daily Signal, DoorDash has instructed its workplace giving platform, Deed, to stop using the Southern Poverty Law Centerâs âhate mapâ as a default filter for charitable organizations participating in the program.
The change means employees will no longer be automatically prevented from donating to nonprofits that have been designated by the SPLC as hate groups through DoorDashâs charitable giving system.
The policy drew scrutiny from conservative organizations that argued the SPLCâs classifications have expanded beyond extremist groups like the KKK to include mainstream conservative and religious organizations such as Turning Point USA and PragerU. Critics claimed the practice limited employeesâ charitable giving options.
The Department of Justice has launched multiple investigations related to California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, including a probe dating back to the Biden administration, The Daily Wire has learned.
The revelation comes just hours after Newsom accused President Donald Trump of directing the DOJ to investigate him and his wife.
In a nearly five-minute video statement, Newsom said federal agents have knocked on the doors of his family, friends, and former employees.

Major League Baseball on Monday decried the use of personal writings on any team-issued Pride Night hats after members of the San Francisco Giants had Bible verses etched into their caps during Friday night’s game against the Chicago Cubs.
In a statement to multiple outlets, MLB chief communications officer Pat Courtney said, “The writing on the cap violates our rules, and consistent with normal practice, we have warned the players about future violations.”
San Francisco’s Landen Roupp, a 27-year-old right-hander from Rocky Mount, North Carolina, started and pitched 4â innings with “Gen 9:12-16” on the front of his hat. Roupp spoke to reporters after the 5-1 loss about his decision, and he was adamant that “there’s no hate at all. It’s just what I stand for, and what I stand on: I believe in God.”
âThe rainbow is a symbol of Godâs covenant with us, and we as believers stand firm in that ⌠Thereâs no hate at all,â he told reporters. âItâs just what I stand for and what I stand in, I believe in God.â
âAnd God said, âThis is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I bring clouds over the earth, and the bow is seen in the clouds, I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.’â Genesis 9:12-16
Roupp brought up:
JT Brubaker, a 32-year-old righty from Springfield, Ohio, and Ryan Walker, a 30-year-old righty from Arlington, Washington, made relief appearances in the loss with Bible verses on their hats.
Also in the loss, reliever Sam Hentges, a 29-year-old lefty from Shoreview, Minnesota, took the mound without the Pride Night hat.
The Texas Rangers remain the only MLB club that does not stage an official Pride Night or Pride Month celebration, despite 29 other teams doing so.
Nick Ahmed (Giants shortstop in 2024) â Said he wrote a Bible verse on his Pride cap that year, framing it as an expression of his faith rather than a coordinated protest, but itâs now cited as part of the same pattern.

A Somali referee selected to officiate at the 2026 FIFA World Cup has been barred from entering the United States after federal authorities discovered information linking him to suspected members of terrorist organizations.
Omar Artan, Somalia’s only referee appointed to the tournament, was denied admission after arriving at Miami International Airport from Istanbul on Saturday. According to a Trump administration official who spoke to Fox News, Customs and Border Protection officers uncovered “derogatory” information during an inspection that rendered Artan inadmissible under federal immigration law.
In a statement provided to Fox News, the administration said, “This individual was seeking admission to the United States. Upon further inspection by CBP, derogatory information, including association with suspected members of terror organizations, was discovered making the traveler ineligible for admission to the United States under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The traveler was refused admission and given immigration forms that provide the section of law used to complete an expedited removal under 8235 of the INA. President Trump’s administration will not allow any security threat to enter our country – full stop.”
The decision effectively ends Artan’s participation in the World Cup, which is being hosted in part by the United States. FIFA confirmed Monday that Artan would no longer take part in referee training or officiate matches during the tournament. The organization said it had been informed by US authorities that his immigration status would not be changed.
DeCarlos Brown Jr, the man who was charged with stabbing Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska to death on the Charlotte light rail, has been found incompetent to stand trial, according to federal prosecutors.
Brown, 34, appeared in federal court on Tuesday morning, where federal Judge Kenneth Bell found ruled that Brown did not understand the proceedings, and could not stand trial. During the hearing, Brown shouted about having “material in his body” and said that he was having a “body emergency” during the brief hearing at the courthouse, per Queens City News.
The judge, as the ruling came down, said, â[I] hope that what happens here will be accurately recorded by professional press and social media.” Brown was evaluated at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago through the Bureau of Prison.
After shouting during the hearing, he was escorted out of the room. He shouted more at the judge and asked if the judge had gotten a letter from his mother. The killer will now get medication as well as treatment in an effort to restore his competency for up to four months.
If Brown is not found to be competent at that point, he may be held in federal custody under federal commitment laws. Another hearing may determine is he has to be forcibly medicated. The prosecutors in the case did not present any evidence in the 15-minutes hearing on Tuesday.
âThe court found that his prognosis is âgoodâ to be made competent and set a four-month deadline to have that process go forward,â US Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina Russ Ferguson said. âThe court ordered that he seek treatment and medication.”

A top Trump agency is cutting off funding to the Los Angeles agency responsible for coordinating billions in homelessness spending after accusing it of âobvious fraud,â âwanton mismanagementâ and repeated failures to safeguard taxpayer dollars, Fox News Digital has learned.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which is a member of the White House fraud task force led by Vice President JD Vance, is immediately suspending the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authorityâs (LAHSA) federal funding while HUDâs inspector general investigates potential offenses by the agency and its leadership, according to a letter sent to LAHSAâs board chair Wendy Greuel and its CEO Gita OâNeill, which was obtained and reviewed by Fox News Digital.Â
The letter detailed conflicts of interest, financial mismanagement, fraud, lack of oversight, and more from the homelessness agency, which has faced efforts by the city and county to take it over.
The move puts one of the countryâs biggest homelessness bureaucracies under direct federal scrutiny after years of criticism that billions have gone into homelessness programs in Los Angeles while the crisis remains entrenched on the streets. LAHSA receives funding at the city, county, state and federal level, with the group getting nearly $1 billion from just the federal government since 2021, according to HUD.
Donald Trump finally has had enough with Iran. It’s about bloody time!
And let’s go over the House Judiciary Committees hearing over the accusations against the Southern Poverty Law Center. It was great.
Well, It’s About Time
U.S. forces carried out a new round of airstrikes on Iranian targets along the countryâs southern coast and near the Strait of Hormuz late Tuesday/early Wednesday, framed by Washington as âretaliatoryâ and âselfâdefenseâ strikes after Iran shot down a U.S. military helicopter earlier this week.
What actually happened
U.S. Central Command says American aircraft and missiles struck multiple Iranian military targets, including radar and airâdefense installations and other coastal sites that Washington argues were being used to threaten U.S. forces and shipping near the Strait of Hormuz.
The latest wave of strikes began around 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday, following the downing of a U.S. Apache helicopter over or near the Strait; both crew members were recovered alive by a U.S. sea drone according to U.S. officials.
U.S. officials describe the operation as a âmeasured retaliationâ intended to deter further Iranian attacks while avoiding a fullâscale regional war, emphasizing that the targets were strictly military.
Despite the fighting, the U.S. has both resumed getting oil through the Strait of Hormuz and even conducted at least one covert shipment in recent days.[reuters]
Current U.S. flows through the Strait
The U.S. Energy Secretary said on June 9 that ship traffic and oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz and the wider Gulf are ârising very meaningfullyâ compared with the previous weeks when the corridor was more heavily disrupted by the conflict.[reuters]
The U.S. Energy Information Administration estimates that in 2024 the United States imported about 0.5 million barrels per day of crude oil and condensate from Persian Gulf countries via the Strait, a relatively small share of total U.S. supply but still significant.[eia]
Covert U.S. shipment Trump referenced
On June 10, President Trump told reporters that the U.S. had âsecretly moved millions of barrels of oilâ through the Strait of Hormuz, implying at least one protected or clandestine shipment during the current crisis.[cnbc]
Financial and energy media framed this as part of broader U.S. efforts to demonstrate that it can keep at least some flows moving even while bombing Iranian targets and escorting tankers.[cnbc]
How important the Strait is overall
Roughly 20â25% of the worldâs seaborne oil tradeâon the order of 20 million barrels per dayânormally passes through the Strait of Hormuz, making it the single most critical oil chokepoint globally.[britannica]
Asia (China, India, South Korea, Japan and others) takes close to 90% of the crude moving through the Strait, while the U.S. directly receives only a small fraction (around 2â3% of those flows), which is why the U.S. is affected more through global price impacts than through physical shortages.[energynow]
The United States will be hitting Iran (Whose Navy, Air Force, Radar, Anti Aircraft, and all other forms of Defense, together with most its offensive capability, are GONE!), VERY HARD TONIGHT. At some point in the not too distant future, we will be taking Kharg Island, and other oil infrastructure points, and assume total control of their Oil and Gas Markets, much like we have with Venezuela, which is working out brilliantly for both Venezuela and the United States of America. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

The cheat is complete in Los Angeles and Donald Trump has something to say about it.
And the Left is doing all it can to ruin the country’s 250th anniversary.
Things Are Getting Better
Segment 1 â The âstrongâ jobs report that doesnât fix your grocery bill (2:00â12:00)
Summarize The Post Millennial story on 172,000 jobs added in May, beating expectations, and unemployment at around the midâ4% range.
Contrast headline numbers with lived reality: persistent inflation, gas, groceries, and housing strain, and how administration allies will spin the report versus skeptical economists.
Angle: âBidenomics vs Trump era vs nowâ in terms of labor participation, real wages, and underemployment, and how media cherryâpick whichever datapoint serves their narrative.
Listener takeaway: encourage people to look at real wages and participation, not just âjobs added this month.â
Walk through the report that California allows voter registration using nonâphoto IDs like gym cards, insurance cards, or employer IDs, which do not verify identity or citizenship.
Explain, in plain language, what is and is not being checked: residency vs citizenship vs simple possession of a card; how this interacts with motor voter and sameâday registration.
Contrast with stricter models (photo ID, proofâofâcitizenship) that advocates in other states push, using something like the SAVE America Act conceptually for comparison.
Angle: federal vs state control of election standards; how loose documentation regimes in a deepâblue state affect national politics through House seats and electoral votes.

Segment 3 â Lawsuit to stop the UFC âFreedom 250â on the White House lawn (24:00â36:00)
Summarize ESPNâs reporting: a federal lawsuit by a veteran and a civic activist seeks an injunction against the UFC card on the South Lawn, timed to Trumpâs 80th birthday.
Outline the claimed legal issues: use of federal parkland for a private sporting event, alleged failure to get proper congressional authorization for construction on the lawn, and NEPA/environmentalâreview claims.
Political angle:
Is this genuine concern about precedent for private commercialization of the presidency and public property?
Or lawfare and bureaucratic resistance against Trumpâs attempt to merge populist spectacle with presidential power?
You can riff on sportsâwashing vs populist entertainment: compare to Obamaâs celebrity concerts or Biden events vs a UFC card at the White House.
Key Facts
The lawsuit was filed by the Public Integrity Project in federal court in Washington, D.C., seeking to halt the June 14 UFC card and related events, including a weighâin at the Lincoln Memorial.
Plaintiffs argue the Department of the Interior and National Park Service violated their own regulations by allowing a private sporting event on public property and by permitting construction of the UFCâs âclawâ stadium structure on the South Lawn without the congressional authorization required for building on federal parkland.
The suit also claims the government failed to conduct an environmental review for a âmajor federal actionâ affecting the South Lawn, and that the temporary Americaâ250 rule for semiquincentennial events does not apply because the card is really a celebration of the UFC and President Trumpâs 80th birthday, not Independence Day.
Brendan Ballou, lead attorney for the group, calls the event a âprofound misuseâ of national monuments for private gain and says they want to stop the fight, the weighâin, and the permanent installation of the claw structure, framing it as an antiâcorruption action rather than an attack on MMA.
A statement from the Trump administration and event defenders calls the case an âobstructionist, baseless, and dilatory lawsuitâ meant to block what they describe as a historic sporting event that is comparable to other White House and National Mall events permitted under existing rules.
Segment 4 â HelloFresh Pride ad backlash and corporate virtueâsignaling (36:00â48:00)
Summarize the Daily Wire coverage: a HelloFresh Pride Month ad that conservatives found ârepulsiveâ and âsickening,â sparking calls to cancel and boycott.
Describe the adâs general theme (without replaying it verbatim) and why critics say it targets kids, sexualizes identity, or crosses a line from inclusion to ideological promotion.
Place it in the trend of corporate Pride marketing, Bud Light, Target, and the question: are these campaigns driven by sincere belief, ESG/HR pressure, or fear of activist backlash?
Note the asymmetry: corporations often calculate that upsetting conservatives costs less than upsetting activist employees, media, or key coastal markets.
The United States takes out a high level ISIS terrorist.

News
Here is some news:
President Donald Trump announced late Friday that U.S. and Nigerian forces carried out an operation that killed a global ISIS leader.
Trump identified the terrorist as Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, whom he described as ISISâs second-in-command globally.
Trump also thanked the Nigerian government for its cooperation in the mission.
Upon request of the Virginia governor, Abigail Spanberger, the Supreme Court refused to block the Virginia’s Supreme Court decision to block Virginia’s redistricting efforts.
The Virginia Supreme Court disallowed the redistricting by a 4-3 decision.
They said the process per the Virginia constitution was not followed, there was no review period, early voting had already started, and the language of the proposal on the ballot was unclear (misleading).
Edwin DĂaz, the $69 million closer for the Los Angeles Dodgers, has been linked to an alleged illegal cockfighting operation in his native Puerto Rico, according to a report by USA Today.
The controversy deepened after a March interview with Puerto Rican newspaper El Nuevo DĂa resurfaced in which DĂaz openly discussed his familyâs participation in cockfighting events.
According to the outlet, DĂaz said his family entered four roosters into a recent tournament and described cockfighting as a hobby he had followed since childhood.
Democrat Rep. Steve Cohen of Tennessee has announced that he will be dropping his reelection bid after representing the state’s 9th Congressional District for over 19 years. The move comes after the GOP state legislature split up his district in a redistricting move that some have claimed to be “racist.”
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has secured a $10 million settlement in a case against Texas Children’s Hospital over illegal sex changes in the form of surgeries and prescriptions being given to minors.

DEI in a Nutshell
According to Outkick:
Natalie Decker parked her truck during Friday’s race at Dover after just 81 laps after NASCAR black-flagged her for being too slow.
That, of course, isn’t the whole story. Not even close.
Decker essentially rage-quit during the race, suffering one of the most stunning in-car meltdowns I have ever heard. And folks, I’ve heard A LOT over the radio in all my years covering NASCAR. Frankly, until yesterday, I thought I’d heard it all.
But this? This goes straight to the top. NASCAR fans quickly unearthed the audio after Decker exited the race, and it’s something we’ll be talking about for a long time.
Natalie Decker has no business on a race track and she embarrasses everyone every time she speaks. Beyond over her existence in NASCAR. pic.twitter.com/0oXjkTfJuG
Iran is running out of time as they keep slowing walking the peace deal.
A Californian mayor has been arrested for working with the Chinese government.
And the Virginia government loses its battle for redistricting. But they might have something else up their sleeve.
News
Here is some news:
Iran has turned over an offer to end the war. Apparently, this offer is not worth the paper its written.
The new offer says nothing of giving over their nuclear material.
Trump has said that time is running out for Iran.
Eileen Wang, former mayor of Arcadia, California, has been charged with acting as an illegal agent of the Peopleâs Republic of China and has agreed to plead guilty to the felony offense, the Justice Department announced. She now faces up to 10 years in federal prison along with a potential $250,000 fine, though any sentence would be determined by a federal judge.
Federal prosecutors say Wang admitted she acted “at the direction and control” of Chinese government officials from at least 2020 through 2022, coordinating with individuals in the U.S. to spread pro-Beijing messaging, all without notifying the U.S. Attorney General as required by law.
The conduct described by prosecutors occurred before Wang took office on the Arcadia City Council in December 2022.
Arcadia city officials said the case is tied to Wangâs individual conduct and does not impact city operations.
The Supreme Court of Virginia struck down Democrats’ efforts to redraw the state’s congressional map in a move intended to give the Democrats four more seats in Congress and now the party is desperate to overturn the decision in any way possible. This includes attempts to oust the entire bench of the state’s highest court.
Over the weekend, a private discussion was held between Virginia state legislators and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to address the issue before them. They were determined, reports The New York Times, to get a new congressional district map in Virginia to gain more Democrat seats. Prior to the new map, the breakdown was 6 Demcorat seats to 5 Republican seats. The new map would likely be 10 to 1.
One key part of the plan was to lower the mandatory retirement age for the Virginia Supreme Court justices from 75 to 54, which is the age of the youngest justice on the court.

President Donald Trump said on Monday that heâs serious about officially making Venezuela and its massive oil reserves part of the United States.
Trump first hinted at making Venezuela the 51st state in a Truth Social post in March when he wrote, âGood things are happening to Venezuela lately! I wonder what this magic is all about? STATEHOOD, #51, ANYONE?â
Delcy RodrĂguez, Venezuelaâs acting president: âThat would never have been considered, because if there is one thing we Venezuelan men and women have, it is that we love our independence process, we love our heroes and heroines of independence.”
RodrĂguez added that her government would continue to work with the United States in âa diplomatic cooperation agenda.â

What An Idiot
According to the Post Millennial:
Left-wing congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has claimed that the American Revolution was actually a fight against the wealthy class at the time, because of issues such as taxation without representation. This comes on the heels of the politician claiming that nobody can earn a billion dollars.
Speaking on how she was slammed for her comments on billionaires to a group at UChicago, âThey like to talk about American ethos as though it’s an attack on American values, an attack on our idea of success. And first of all, I mean, call me crazy, but I don’t think that every single American aspires to be a billionaire. I think that the our idea of success, they might not object, but I don’t think it’s the universal American ideal.â

Many were quick to point out, however, that the American Revolution was not really a fight over wealth distribution, and that many of the founding fathers were themselves very rich for the time.
This was after she said this:
AOC: âThereâs a certain level of wealth and accumulation that is unearned. You canât earn a billion dollars. You just canât earn that.

Remember when every cop had to wear a body cam because of the “epidemic” of “police brutality”? We actually saw what happened during these police incidents. Well, the Left is changing their minds.
California has a solution to the crisis that involves their high speed train project.
And why do activist judges keep letting illegal aliens murders out of jail?
Do You Remember…?
According to Fox News:
Seattleâs socialist mayor Katie Wilson is facing fierce blowback on social media after a 77-year-old man was seen on video being beaten by two individuals in a crime that was captured by closed-circuit television cameras, a tool that Wilson has denounced in the past as something that makes the community feel unsafe and “vulnerable.”
The elderly man was walking down the street in downtown Seattle last month when two men walking by him stopped, without any provocation, shoved him to the ground and beat him, KOMO News reported.
Ahmed Abdullahi Osman, 29, was later arrested and charged with second-degree assault, and police are looking for the second suspect. Osman was reportedly booked into jail the night of the assault and then released back onto the streets before a bail hearing.
Ahmed Abdullah Osman beat a 77-year-old in Seattle. Police ID'd him thanks to street video cameras.
You know, Trump is not going to be in office for long.
Do you remember when the Left demanded that police all have body cams?
Now we actually see what the police have to go through on a daily basis?
Now there’s outrage because a police shooting will have body cam footage released immediately and we know the shooting was justified.
Now, cameras are racist.
I also want to ask, why are cameras racist? Why do they alienate the immigrants? Could it be because they capture the crimes of minorities and immigrants and maybe not all bad things happen because of white people?
The stats don’t lie, folks. Immigrants and minorities commit most of the crimes in the United States. We are seeing it right now.
The bill, which passed the California Assembly on Monday and sits at the state Senate, lets the Inspector General do so if publication âwould pose a substantial and articulable risk to the project or to state operations if publicly disclosed.â
The role of the Inspector General has gained even more prominence in light of new estimates that the total cost of the train has ballooned to $231 billion. The fantasy project, which broke ground in 2015, is far from finished.
Letting the Inspector General hide details, critics say, is the wrong move.
Insight is needed now more than ever after analysts raised red flags with the High-Speed Rail Authorityâs new business plan. A state analystsâ report warned of âseveral issuesâ, such as uncertain funding assumptions and shifting the projectâs scope in violation of current state law.
If details are determined confidential, the bill would have the auditor only deliver the report to state officials overseeing the project.
The billâs author, Assemblymember Lori Wilson (D), dismissed the criticism and said the bill actually improves transparency.
âConcerns were initially raised that this bill would keep information confidential. In fact, this bill does the exact opposite by requiring the inspector general to make its reports public, which is not required under current law,â she said Monday on the Assembly floor.
A federal judge appointed by former President Joe Biden cut an illegal immigrant murder suspect loose, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Bryan Rafael Gomez is wanted in his home country of the Dominican Republic for murder, DHS said Thursday. Despite having an active warrant, U.S. District Court Judge Melissa R. DuBose ordered Gomezâs release from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention on Tuesday.
Gomez crossed the border illegally near Lukeville, Arizona, in 2022, DHS said. Border Patrol agents apprehended him at the time and subsequently released him into the country.
The Coordination of the Courts of Instruction of the National District of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, issued a criminal arrest warrant for Gomez for homicide on Jan. 24, 2023, according to DHS.
Officers with the Worcester Police Department arrested Gomez on April 4, 2026, for assault and battery, according to DHS. Local authorities honored an ICE detainer, handing Gomez over to federal immigration agents after he was released on $500 bail.
Gomez had filed a habeas petition, which is a legal challenge to his detention, and DuBose allowed for his release on âminimal release conditions,â according to Fox News.
The Department of Justice announced on Friday that it has readopted firing squads as a means to carry out federal death sentences. The DOJ said that the move was part of an effort to “restore its solemn duty to seek, obtain, and implement lawful capital sentences.”
A press release from the department stated, “Among the actions taken are readopting the lethal injection protocol utilized during the first Trump Administration, expanding the protocol to include additional manners of execution such as the firing squad, and streamlining internal processes to expedite death penalty cases. These steps are critical to deterring the most barbaric crimes, delivering justice for victims, and providing long-overdue closure to surviving loved ones.”
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement, “The prior administration failed in its duty to protect the American people by refusing to pursue and carry out the ultimate punishment against the most dangerous criminals, including terrorists, child murderers, and cop killers. Under President Trumpâs leadership, the Department of Justice is once again enforcing the law and standing with victims.”
The announcement came alongside the release of a report titled “Restoring and Strengthening the Federal Death Penalty.” In the report, Blanche said that “despite federal prosecutors consistently seeking and defending capital sentences under the leadership of both political parties, the Department had not prioritized implementing them.”
The report stated that under the Biden administration, then Attorney General Merrick Garland “imposed a moratorium on federal executions, directed prosecutors not to seek death sentences, and dismantled the federal governmentâs capital punishment apparatus. He also recommended that President Biden commute the lawful death sentences of thirty-seven convicted murderers, and he did so without fully considering the views of the victimsâ families, the communities that endured these crimes, or the prosecutors who tried these cases. These actions inflicted untold damage on countless lives and, ultimately, on the publicâs confidence in the rule of law itself.”
