Illegal Immigration

Episode 1225 – I Hate Lawyers!

The Federal Reserve releases a report that brings up a big surprise. Well, not really.

California needs to stop giving illegal aliens who cannot read licenses to drive 15 ton trucks.

And I hate lawyers!

Who Started the Affordability Crisis?

According to the New York Post:

A new Federal Reserve working paper found the record surge in illegal immigration during the Biden administration triggered higher home prices and rents.

The findings arrive as immigration remains a polarizing political issue. Republicans argue former President Joe Biden’s border policies strained housing and public resources, while Democrats say immigration helped ease labor shortages and supported economic growth.

The paper, published by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, combines immigration court records with government administrative data to measure how the unprecedented wave of illegal immigration between 2021 and 2024 affected local labor and housing markets.

The authors caution the study is a preliminary draft circulated for professional comment and does not necessarily reflect the views of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas or the Federal Reserve System.

Again?!

According to the Post Millennial:

A Haitian illegal alien who was issued a Massachusetts Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) has been arrested after allegedly causing a semi-truck crash that killed a veteran Pennsylvania State Trooper, prompting US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to lodge an immigration detainer against him.

Michael Bon, a Haitian national, was arrested following the July 1 crash in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. Authorities allege Bon’s tractor-trailer struck Trooper Michael Pahira, who was inspecting another commercial vehicle along I-81 South. Pahira, a nearly 20-year veteran of the Pennsylvania State Police, later died from his injuries.

Bon has been charged with vehicular homicide and involuntary manslaughter. ICE lodged a detainer one day after his arrest, requesting that Pennsylvania authorities notify the agency before any potential release from custody.

According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Bon entered the United States after being released by the Biden administration in July 2024. He later applied for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) in October 2024, but DHS said that application “was never granted.” Despite that, Bon obtained a Massachusetts-issued Commercial Driver’s License, a fact DHS highlighted in announcing the immigration detainer.

Or You Could Arrest Them

According to the Post Millennial:

In the face of shootings over Independence Day weekend, Raleigh Mayor Janet Cowell has considered imposing a curfew for minors within city limits after several fights, illegal fireworks, and nine shootings rocked North Carolina’s capital. Cowell, who was elected mayor in 2024 to lead the city of more than 500,000 and ran on housing affordability and public safety, said the city needs accountability, Fox News reports. 

“As Mayor, I am grateful for the actions of the Raleigh Police officers in response to the situations of juvenile violence across the City on the night of July 4 and the morning of July 5,” the Cowell said. “Clearly, Raleigh is not exempt from the incidents of youth violence that are occurring across the country. We need to talk with the youth, their parents, schools, and the broader community to understand the root causes and to better coordinate strategies. One approach may be a youth curfew for those 17 years and under, which other cities in North Carolina have implemented. City leadership is exploring many approaches that we will discuss at tomorrow’s Council meeting.”

Raleigh Police said about 5,000 teenagers gathered in Brier Creek and another 5,000 gathered in Glenwood South, with roughly half of those in attendance coming from outside the city. Officers first responded around 10:05 p.m. Saturday to reports of a fight near a movie theater and surrounding businesses during what police described as a social media-organized “teen takeover.” The large fight was followed by gunfire, leaving one adult injured by a gunshot and another hurt by shattered glass. Police detained a juvenile who was found with a firearm, though investigators do not believe the teen was one of the shooters.

Additional violence unfolded throughout the night. Around 1:35 a.m. Sunday, officers responded to multiple shootings that left six people wounded, all of whom are expected to survive. About three hours later, at approximately 4:30 a.m., two more people were shot following a fight at a gas station. Both suffered non-life-threatening injuries. No arrests have been announced, and all of the shootings remain under investigation.

In a post on X Monday, Cowell described the teen takeovers as a “disturbing national trend” and thanked the Raleigh Police Department for restoring order, adding that city leaders and the broader community have work ahead to engage with young people and prevent similar incidents in the future.

How about throwing these kids in jail? How about throwing their parents in jail?

Why do they call them “teen takeovers” and not riots? Because all the teens are black.

Gentle Parenting Doesn’t Work

According to the New York Post:

A pregnant city special-ed teacher was violently kicked in the stomach by one of her students — then fired by officials who blamed her for the terrifying outburst, a shocking lawsuit claims. 

Then-kindergarten teacher Lauren Vitale, 31, was six months pregnant when she was attacked in January by one of her pupils, who has a documented history of violence, according to her Manhattan Supreme Court suit.

The special-needs kindergartner had been placed in the classroom at Staten Island’s PS 84 without giving Vitale any advance warning of her violent past — part of a troubling pattern by the adminstration of targeting the teacher, the suit says.

The child ended up spitting in Vitale’s face and kicking her in her pregnant belly — which resulted in the mom-to-be suffering from bleeding, low fetal movement and high blood pressure, according to court papers.

But instead of supporting Vitale over the assault, the school’s principal immediately blamed her for it, the lawsuit alleges.

Vitale, whose daughter is now 2 months old, said the alleged horrific experience was the climax of a years-long pattern of discrimination, hostile work environment and retaliation by education bosses against her.

Later in the article:

She said in her suit that she then felt especially targeted in early 2024 after she filed a union complaint over the placement of a different dangerous student in her classroom.

The child bit her and struck her with a curtain rod, Vitale’s lawsuit says.

In response to Vitale’s complaint, the principal called her to his office, labeled her a “whistleblower” and warned that she had “opened Pandora’s box,” court documents allege.

Then this past September, when Vitale was eight weeks pregnant, she privately shared her good news about the baby with the school’s guidance counselor — also a union rep — who she considered a friend, her suit says..

But the news was immediately leaked to the principal, who cornered her in her classroom and “badgered” her into confirming it minutes later, Vitale says in her suit. 

She was immediately slapped with a punitive Teacher Improvement Plan, the lawsuit claims.

Episode 1223 – We Need to Start Paying Attention!

We just had Independence Day and it was great! But we also have all the wet blankets out there that Want to tear up the country on its birthday. Let’s listen to some of the blasphemy.

I keep telling you the Islamists are trying to take over and they’re saying telling us. I have an example.

And we will be changing the format of the podcast in the future. Let’s talk about it.

Is He A Dumbass Though?

There’s more than that:

  • Zohran Mamdani had the subways wrapped with the Iranian flag.
  • Islamists were climbing street lamps and tearing down American flags.
  • Two Leftists were trying to light an American flag on fire and were beaten up by a guy trying to stop them.
  • In Washington DC, a group of Leftists protested “250 years of exploitation, plunder, and terror.
  • In Newport Beach and Los Angeles, there were riots and looting.
  • In Minniapolis, they had a Somali independence day led by that beta-male mayor Jacob Frye.

They Hate You

A couple of things:

  • It is only immigrants who know how to be American and know what path America should take.
  • Anyone who was born here is a supremacist.
  • I wonder how many of those immigrants with him can speak English or on some sort of entitlement program.
  • This is a Democratic trick. They talk of division but everything he is saying is divisive. It’s always “us and them.” They are bad, evil, supremacists. They hate you. They didn’t want you here. It’s never you should feel blessed to be here.
  • I think Mamdani misread Thomas Paine. He also felt that people should be involved in a free economy.
  • This country isn’t an asylum for the persecuted. This country is a melting pot.
  • Poverty is a part of life.
  • As usual, he creates a new victim class.
  • He complains about the misery created by the landlords. Of course, that misery was created by his own policies.

BY the way, his wife decided to take off to Spain to attend an Islamist retreat.

According to the New York Post:

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s wife Rama Duwaji ditched America’s 250th anniversary, jetting off this week for an Islamic “spiritual wellness” retreat on the Spanish resort island of Mallorca ahead of the patriotic celebration, The Post has learned.

The Dallas-raised, Dubai-educated, Syrian-American artist – who has a long history of bashing the US — was spotted at Newark International Airport on Monday, boarding an eight-hour flight to Palma, Mallorca’s capital city in the Western Mediterranean.

She was heading to a sold-out retreat run by The Women’s Sanctuary. The 29-year-old illustrator and ceramist is the for-profit’s “artist in residence” and among the gathering’s hosts.

The “Plants Of The Quran” retreat costs $3,400 in US dollars for guests to attend. It began Wednesday and runs through Monday, and revolves around sacred flora mentioned in Islamic texts through art, botanical workshops, and spiritual reflection, according to the group’s website.

This Will Happen…A Lot!

According to the New York Post:

A Somalian flag that was raised outside of Buffalo’s City Hall to commemorate Somali Independence Day was stolen in an overnight heist, the city’s leftist mayor decried.

“The City of Buffalo’s flagpole in Niagara Square sustained damage after unknown vandals broke the access panel, cut the cable, and removed the Somali flag during the overnight hours of Wednesday, July 1,” Mayor Sean Ryan wrote on Facebook.

Ryan said the Buffalo Police Department was investigating the alleged vandalism after the city approved non-profit HEAL International to raise the white star, blue flag on July 1.

“The flag had been raised by an organization called Heal International in honor of Somalian Independence Day. Heal International has been raising the Somali flag at Niagara Square for at least the last four years,” Ryan said.

The mayor’s office shared that the “public use” flagpoles have flown banners of several countries and territories over the years, including Ukraine, Greece, Ireland, Puerto Rico, Italy and Bangladesh.

Episode 1222 – It’s Independence Day…for Somalia!

It’s almost Independence Day in the United States. You know what that means: We have to start celebrating Somalia.

Being woke is probably going to cost Alaska Airlines a pretty penny.

And Kamala Harris is cozying up to all the Islamist communists as she gets ready for another presidential run.

You Knew This Was Coming

According to the Daily Wire:

As America heads into the Fourth of July weekend marking America’s 250th birthday, the city hall of Columbus, Ohio, is celebrating differently.Columbus is hoisting the flag of Somalia, a foreign government, on Wednesday and celebrating its independence, according to a government department’s social media feed.“Happy Somali Independence Day! 💙 As we celebrate the unification of the Trust Territory of Somaliland and the State of Somaliland into the Somali Republic in 1960, City Hall will be raising the flag of Somalia,” the city’s Parks and Rec department said on social media. Praising Somalia was apparently so important to the department that it was its first post on X, formerly Twitter, since April 2019.

The department deleted the post moments after The Daily Wire asked Parks and Rec and City Hall about it. Neither department immediately replied to questions.

Columbus City Hall’s X account has celebrated Juneteenth and Pride Month, but said nothing about America’s 250th. In June 2023, the council passed a resolution to fly Somalia’s flag. In June 2025, it passed a resolution “To Recognize and Celebrate July 1st as Somali Independence Day in the City of Columbus.”

Columbus is home to the second-largest concentration of Somalis in the United States after Minnesota. The Daily Wire spent time in Columbus after Medicaid records showed some of the most flagrant red flags in the country. Those home-health firms turned out to be run largely by Somalis, to the point where one man said it was racist to ask about Medicaid spending because it was so closely intertwined with Somali identity.

Ohio’s Medicaid spending has doubled over the last decade, leading to a financial crisis.

Let’s be clear:

  • Somali is a shit hole.
  • Their independence led to perpetual civil war and genocide.
  • It’s a country run by warlords.
  • It’s a country of criminals and pirates.
  • The average IQ in Somalia is 61.
  • They have never given humanity anything.
  • They have never contributed to any society they have infected.

There is a reason everyone in Somali is trying to get out of Somalia. There is nothing to be proud of. If there was something awesome about Somalia, they would go back.

They Should Win

According to Fox News:

A federal appeals court revived a lawsuit brought by two former Alaska Airlines flight attendants who say they were fired after expressing religious objections to the airline’s support for the Equality Act, allowing their religious discrimination claims to proceed.

The Ninth Circuit ruled Wednesday there is sufficient evidence for a jury to determine whether Lacey Smith and Marli Brown were fired because of their religious beliefs, reviving the lawsuit they filed against the airline.

In early 2021, Alaska Airlines said it would support the proposed Equality Act on an online internal employee network.

The Equality Act, which was introduced by then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., sought to add sexual orientation and gender identity as protected classes in employment, housing, and other capacities under federal civil rights law. It passed the House in February 2021.

The airline asked employees to comment in an online forum for employees, and Smith asked a question, writing, “As a company, do you think it’s possible to regulate morality?”

In the same forum, Brown shared a comment conveying her sincere religious beliefs that the Equality Act would adversely affect women, girls, and people of faith.

Following their comments on the online forum, Smith and Brown were investigated and fired from their jobs, with Alaska Airlines saying that the comments from Smith and Brown were “discriminatory,” “hateful” and “offensive.”

I Pray She Runs

According to the Daily Wire:

Former Vice President Kamala Harris is courting New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and other prominent left-wing figures as she lays the groundwork for a possible 2028 presidential campaign, according to a new report.

Axios reported Wednesday that Harris privately called Mamdani last week to discuss the future of the Democratic Party and plans to continue the conversation in future meetings.

The call came just days after several democratic socialist candidates backed by Mamdani defeated incumbent Democrats in New York City congressional primaries, further cementing the mayor’s growing influence on the party’s left flank.

The outreach is part of a broader effort by Harris to repair and strengthen ties with far-left Democrats who were often skeptical of her during the 2024 presidential campaign. Harris has also held private meetings with progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), as well as pro-Palestinian activists who sharply criticized the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict.

Among those Harris has met with is Abbas Alawieh, a co-founder of the Uncommitted Movement, a campaign that emerged during the 2024 Democratic primary to protest President Joe Biden’s support for Israel. Alawieh added that Harris initiated months of private conversations before requesting a recent meeting in Detroit, where he reiterated his opposition to U.S. taxpayer dollars being used “to target civilians or destroy entire communities.”

During the 2024 campaign, the Uncommitted Movement unsuccessfully pushed Harris to allow a Palestinian American to address the Democratic National Convention. Many activists ultimately declined to endorse her after concluding she had not broken sufficiently with Biden’s Middle East policy.

Wait, Who’s the Pedophile?

According to the Daily Wire:

Democratic Sacramento lawmakers, led by far-left senator Scott Wiener (D-CA), killed a bill that would have banned registered sex offenders from running for public office in California.

The legislation, AB 2753, would have expanded the list of felony convictions that disqualify people from running for elected office to include sexual assault and human trafficking. Current law covers felonies involving bribery (accepting, giving, or offering), embezzlement or theft of public funds, extortion, perjury, and conspiracy to commit any of those offenses.

On Tuesday, the State Senate’s Elections Committee rejected the proposal in a 2-1-2 vote, according to the local KCRA outlet. The push for the bill followed an attempt by registered sex offender Rene Campos to run for Fresno City Council. He pleaded no contest in 2018 to a misdemeanor charge of possessing child sexual abuse material, KCRA reported.

Voting yes were Democratic San Diego State Sen. Sabrina Cervantes and Republican State Sen. Steven Choi; the committee’s chairman, Democratic San Francisco State Sen. Scott Wiener, voted no, while two other Democrats abstained.

The proposal passed the State Assembly unanimously before reaching the State Senate, according to legislative records. 

Wiener, who is on track to replace former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in Congress, blocked the legislation. 

“There are a lot of people who go in the sex offender registry for lower-level offenses, who I don’t know that everyone would believe they should be banned from running for office if they want to. This is potentially a very dangerous road we’re going down to say that ‘minor crimes’ are going to ban you for life for running for office,” Wiener told local ABC10 outlet. 

“We live in a democracy where people get to run for office, including people who have a lot of flaws,” he added.

This Is Who They Support

According to Fox News:

Minnesota officials, including Democrat Gov. Tim Walz, last month pardoned an illegal immigrant who was previously convicted of sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl and who was slated to be deported.

With the recommendation of the Minnesota Clemency Review Commission (CRC), the Minnesota Board of Pardons — led by Walz, state Attorney General Keith Ellison and state Chief Justice Natalie Hudson — granted a pardon for Laos national Tou Lue Vang, 42, at its June 10 meeting, according to a letter informing Vang of the decision from Carli Stark, the executive director of the state CRC.

The pardon essentially gives Vang a clean slate.

Vang was convicted in 2006 of first-degree criminal sexual conduct. Between 2002 and 2006, he repeatedly sexually assaulted the girl.

At one point, he offered her $10 to keep quiet about the abuse, according to DHS.

He pleaded guilty to first-degree criminal sexual conduct in a plea deal that spared him from going to prison.

“Governor Tim Walz’s decision to pardon an illegal alien convicted child rapist so he can remain in our country is disgusting,” DHS Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said in a statement. “These are the criminal illegal aliens he and his Minnesota sanctuary politicians are protecting.”

Bis noted that Vang lost his legal status following his conviction.

When he was arrested on charges in 2005, Vang admitted to having sexual contact with the girl but blamed cultural norms in Thailand, according to the complaint obtained by the New York Times.

Episode 1221 – You Win Some, You Lose Some, I Guess

The Supreme Court has been busy. Let us take a look at the two major ruling released yesterday, especially the complete misread of what the XIV Amendment.

A Really Bad Ruling

According to the Daily Wire:

The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday permanently blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order seeking to restrict birthright citizenship, dealing a significant blow to his immigration agenda and preventing a sweeping overhaul of who qualifies for U.S. citizenship.

In a landmark ruling authored by Chief Justice John Roberts, the Supreme Court held that children born in the United States to parents unlawfully or temporarily present are “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States and are citizens at birth under the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause.

“Citizenship, then and now, was the right to have rights — to freely participate in our political community. The Framers of the Fourteenth Amendment extended that promise to ‘every free-born person in this land,’” Roberts wrote. “We keep that promise today.”

Justice Brett Kavanaugh concurred in part and dissented in part. He disagreed with the court’s holding that Trump’s executive order violated the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution. Instead, he argued that the order violated other federal statutes, saying only Congress can enact new exceptions to birthright citizenship for children born to illegal immigrants.

Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch dissented.

Clarence Thomas wrote in his Dissent:

“The court today takes the extraordinary step of holding facially unconstitutional the President’s Order excluding from citizenship the children of foreign temporary visitors and illegal aliens. In doing so, the court adds to the sad history of the Fourteenth Amendment, which was designed and understood to secure equal rights for the freed blacks but has instead been repurposed for political projects that the Reconstruction Congress did not support.”

Thomas argued that the 14th Amendment was designed to apply to freed slaves and their children, who owed no allegiances to foreign countries. 

“The same could not be said for the children of foreign temporary visitors. Foreign temporary visitors were attached to their home country, lacked similar bonds to this country, and would not be called upon in time of war. Americans, consistent with their settler ethos, believed that citizens were the people who called a place home.”

“I am not sure that today’s opinion will stand the test of time. The Citizenship Clause ‘added greatly to the dignity and glory of American citizenship. Today’s opinion devalues that citizenship.”

Samuel Alito also added to the dissent:

“As interpreted by the court today, the Fourteenth Amendment confers citizenship on virtually everyone who happens to be born in this country, including the children of ‘birth tourists,’ women who come here solely for the purpose of giving birth to a child and then promptly return home. Careful analysis of the text of the Fourteenth Amendment and the process that led to its adoption shows that it does not degrade the concept of United States citizenship in this way. Instead, the Fourteenth Amendment confers citizenship on only those children who, at birth, owe allegiance solely to this country.

“The court’s interpretation preserves a powerful incentive to enter or remain in this country illegally. Immigrants naturally prefer affluent countries where economic opportunities are available. Other than Canada, the United States will be the only affluent nation where birth alone is enough to establish citizenship.”

https://www.dailywire.com/news/supreme-court-rules-against-trump-in-birthright-citizenship-case
https://www.dailywire.com/news/clarence-thomas-torches-scotus-decision-on-birthright-citizenship

Response From the Right

The Supreme Court’s birthright citizenship decision is wrong, dangerous, and disastrous for American sovereignty and the American people. If we can’t fix it with ordinary legislation, then we must do what the Constitution commands in moments of national crisis: We must amend the Constitution and restore American citizenship. We must again put “We the People” first. The Supreme Court’s decision constitutionalizing unlimited birthright citizenship for the children of illegal aliens and temporarily present aliens is wrong—and disastrous for our sovereignty and the future of our republic. The decision exposes America to grave national security risks and threatens to erode the integrity of the core of American self-government: citizenship. Citizenship is more than paperwork issued by the government. It is more than a bureaucratic label that grants access to government programs. Citizenship is the covenantal bond between a nation and its people.

Douglas Mackey, who was targeted by the Biden administration for a meme tweeted:

The Supreme Court’s birthright citizenship decision is a bigger disaster than expected. Roberts and Barrett have completely sold out our birthright. The Court has ruled that an Act of Congress CANNOT overturn Birthright Citizenship, only a Constitutional Amendment. Since it’s impossible to seal off the borders perfectly and indefinitely, this ruling dissolves the United States as we know it. It’s the beginning of the end of the Republic unless and until we get a new Supreme Court to overturn this disastrous decision (like Roe v. Wade was eventually overturned).

Finally, the best for last, Donald Trump congratulated Xi Jinping:

https://www.dailywire.com/news/legal-abomination-conservatives-react-to-scotus-birthright-citizenship-ruling

Here’s What I Think

Some things:

  • This is a complete disaster for the Supreme Court.
  • It is a complete misreading of the XIV Amendment.
  • Context matters. The writers of the XIV Amendment stated that aliens were not automatically citizens. Read the statement from above.
  • The Court stated that the legal status of the parents is irrelevant. That’s horse pucky. Diplomats who have a child while in the United States determine whether that kid is a citizen.
  • Entering the United States is illegal and shows that the do not regard themselves a “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States.
  • Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito were right:
    • This devalues citizenship.
    • This opens the country to foreign actors that have the strategy of undermining the country through elections and politics.
    • It paves the way for birth tourism
  • Justice Kavanaugh was also right and wrong.
    • He was wrong in that the Constitution and the context were made very clear.
    • He’s right that Congress can definitely make laws that better define the amendment.
    • The question is would Congress make such a law.
  • The ruling judges were wrong.
    • They ignored what the words of the Constitution said.
    • They completely ignored why the amendment was written.
    • They are cowards.

There is good news though:

At Least They Got This One Right

According to the Daily Wire:

The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that states have the constitutional power to ban men from women’s sports, dealing another blow to the transgender movement. 

In a ruling authored by Justice Brett Kavanaugh and joined by the other conservative justices, the Supreme Court held that Title IX  allows schools to determine eligibility for women’s and girls’ sports teams based on biological sex. Liberal Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson agreed with parts of the majority opinion and dissented on other parts.

Justice Kavanaugh wrote:

“They may determine eligibility for women’s and girls’ sports based on biological sex. The Constitution and Title IX do not require an overhaul of women’s and girls’ sports throughout America.”

Clarence Thomas was a little more bitter about having to weigh in on this:

“Men and boys with gender dysphoria are not women or girls, even if they believe that they are. Sex is an immutable ‘biological’ characteristic.

“[I]t is binary; and ‘man’ and ‘woman,’ ‘boy’ and ‘girl,’ are the terms that correspond to adults and children of each sex,” he stressed. “To use language to obscure reality—to show ‘indifference regarding the truth’— is to lie to the public and cease to treat our fellow citizens ‘as equal[s].’“

“A man does not have a legal right to compete against women just because he believes that he is a woman. The class of people who claim transgender status could more accurately be described as people who are experiencing ‘gender dysphoria,’ which is not a ‘discrete group.’”

Episode 1212 – Wake Up People of the West!

The United States military has shown it is awesome, once again, and Iran might have just signed their death warrants.

Our justice system is still treats people equally. Thank God.

And a horrible attack happens in Belfast. We need to talk about this because we are going to have to deal with stuff like this.

More Heroism

According to the Daily Wire:

President Donald Trump shared previously unreported details about a downed U.S. Army Apache helicopter on Wednesday, including how the two pilots survived after an Iranian drone lodged in between them as they were flying.

Trump described the incident and rescue mission in an exclusive call with Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst. The U.S. Army Apache helicopter was shot down earlier this week when, according to the president, an Iranian drone struck the helicopter but failed to detonate, lodging itself between the two pilots as they flew at low altitude.

Flying a gunship with a live, burning drone embedded in the cockpit, the pilots faced the possibility of explosion at any moment. Trump said the cockpit filled with heat and fire before the crew managed to ditch the aircraft into the sea. The two pilots were subsequently rescued — in what Trump described as the first-ever rescue of its kind — by an unmanned sea drone.

After the Iranian drone attack, Trump warned Wednesday that he is nearing a decision to order strikes on Iranian power plants and bridges, signaling a sharp escalation in the ongoing military confrontation with Tehran amid stalled nuclear negotiations.

The drone boat was the Saronic Corsair, a 24-foot unmanned surface vessel used by the U.S. Navy’s Task Force 59. It was the first U.S. rescue carried out with an autonomous surface vessel, according to military reporting.

The Corsair was described as looking like a speedboat and was used to retrieve the Apache crew before they were lifted by helicopter to complete the rescue.

A Texas jury convicted 19-year-old Karmelo Anthony of murder and sentenced him to 35 years for stabbing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf once in the chest during a rain-soaked high school track meet on April 2, 2025, at David Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco. Witnesses said Anthony, from Centennial High School, entered the rival Prosper High tent, warned others after a shove, then pulled a knife; prosecutors rejected his self-defense claim after three hours of deliberation. Metcalf’s parents delivered emotional statements, with his father stressing right and wrong over race, while the case sparked national debates on self-defense, youth violence, and racial dynamics, including unverified fundraising claims and celebrity comments.

Diversity Is Not Our Strength

According to the Daily Mail:

A Sudanese man has been charged with attempted murder after a ‘knife attack’ in Belfast.

The 30-year-old, who has not yet been named by police, will appear at Belfast Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday. 

He has also been charged with possession of an article with blade or point in a public place and making threats to kill.

PSNI Chief Constable Jon Boutcher said the suspect is believed to have travelled from Sudan to Paris, and then from Paris to Dublin before taking a bus to Belfast in February 2023 – taking advantage of the Common Travel Area. 

There, he immediately claimed asylum, before he was given leave to remain in the UK in September 2023, lasting for five years.

The victim of the attack, a man aged in his 40s, remains in a serious condition in hospital receiving treatment for serious eye, face and back wounds.

Social media footage shows a man standing astride a bloodied victim holding a knife to his throat and his fist in the air. 

Heroic bystanders then intervene, with one man hitting the suspect with a hurling stick. Police said a kitchen knife was recovered from the scene on Kinnaird Avenue, in the north of Belfast. They do not believe the attack was terror related.

Episode 1197 – I Remember When…

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:

Seattle’s 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. 

Some things:

  • Trump is not going to take over the 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.

Don’t Fix Anything

According to the New York Post:

Critics of California’s long-overdue high-speed rail project are aghast after statehouse Democrats pushed through legislation that would give the rail auditor the power to shield its reports from the public.

The bill, which passed the California Assembly on Monday and sits at the state Senate, lets the Inspector General do so if publication “would pose a substantial and articulable risk to the project or to state operations if publicly disclosed.”

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 Authority’s new business plan.  A state analysts’ report warned of “several issues”, such as uncertain funding assumptions and shifting the project’s 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 bill’s author, Assemblymember Lori Wilson (D), dismissed the criticism and said the bill actually improves transparency.

“Concerns 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,” she said Monday on the Assembly floor.

Why Does This Keep Happening?

According to the Daily Wire:

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 Gomez’s 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 “minimal release conditions,” according to Fox News.

Why Not?

According to the Post Millennial:

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 Trump’s 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 government’s 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 victims’ 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 public’s confidence in the rule of law itself.”

Episode 1193 – I Do Not Believe You, Ma’am!

Disney World has decided to ditch woke to the joy of their visitors.

You ever wonder why Muslims are having such an easy time getting into England? Well, the BBC has found an answer.

And Ilhan Omar “accidently” said she was worth $30 million dollars. She actually not worth that much. I do not believe you, ma’am.

News

Here is some news:

  • Pope Leo clarified his statements about war (not THE war).
  • On Saturday, April 18, 2026, Trump signed an executive order directing the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to speed up research, regulatory review, and access pathways for novel treatments for serious mental illness, including psychedelic‑based therapies such as ibogaine and similar compounds.
    • The order’s stated intent is to tackle high suicide rates, particularly among veterans, by removing or easing certain legal and regulatory barriers that currently make it difficult for U.S. researchers and clinicians to study and offer these treatments within controlled medical frameworks.
  • The U.S. Navy fired on the Iran-flagged M/V Touska tanker in the Arabian Sea on Sunday, disabling its engines and later seizing the vessel.
    • Tehran officials condemned the seizure as “armed piracy” and vowed retaliation.
    • Peace talks with Iran were expected to begin in Pakistan on Tuesday, but recent reports from Iranian state media have thrown the meetings into doubt.
    • The command of Iran’s military, Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, offered an explanation for why Iranian forces did not fight back: “Due to the presence of some family members of the ship’s crew, they faced constraints in order to protect their lives and ensure their safety, as they were in danger at every moment.”
  • A Louisiana man who murdered eight children, seven of them his own and one a cousin of the children, had two prior convictions. One of convictions was due to his commission of a previous shooting near a school. The children were all under 11 years old.
    • The 31-year-old posted a picture of himself with one of his daughters just hours before killing the children execution style. He killed most of them in their beds and one as he tried to escape.
    • The victims’ ages ranged from 3 to 11.
    • He also shot his wife in the face, mother of four of his children, as well as the mother of his three other children.

They’re Learning

According to the Daily Wire:

Disney World just took a giant step away from wokeness with a small change in its parks that has the normies cheering.

According to park visitors, the automated announcements are once again using the phrase “Ladies and Gentlemen.” This is a change from the parks originally pivoting to use more “inclusive” language on their properties.

The revelation about Disney’s foray into progressivism came in 2022 when journalist Chris Rufo released video recordings from employee all-hands meetings at the company. One of the clips showed Vivian Ware, who was at the time serving as Disney’s diversity and inclusion manager, explaining how Disney altered gendered greetings and language in its theme parks for live spiels and other aspects of the park in 2021.

“We trained, we provided training for all of our cast members in relationship to that. So now they know it’s ‘Hello, everyone,’ or ‘Hello, friends,’” Ware explained.

“We don’t want to just assume because someone might be, in our interpretation, may be presenting as female, that they may not want to be called ‘princess,’” she went on. “So let’s think differently about how do we really engage with our guests in a meaningful and inclusive way that makes it magical and memorable for everyone.”

Deport Him

According to the Daily Wire:

Legal advisers have been telling migrants from Muslim countries to pose as gay to be granted asylum in Britain, with some lawyers going as far as coaching migrants on how to fabricate photos and come up with their own back stories, the BBC reported on Wednesday.

The BBC’s undercover investigation revealed how legal advisers are raking in cash by helping migrants from Pakistan and Bangladesh apply for asylum by claiming to be gay, which would put them at risk of persecution in their home countries.

One BBC reporter went undercover to a meeting organized by a group that claims to support gay and lesbian asylum seekers. Around 175 people attended the meeting put on by Worcester LGBT, but it appeared that none of them actually identified as lesbian or gay.

“Most of the people here are not gays,” one man said, according to the BBC.

Another man replied, “Nobody is a gay here. Not even 1% are gay. Not even 0.01% are gay.”

The BBC reporter posed as a migrant seeking asylum and met multiple times with an adviser for Worcester LGBT named Tanisa. For their first meeting, the reporter met with Tanisa at her house and was invited to her bedroom to chat. Tanisa sat on her bed as she told the undercover journalist that he should apply for asylum as a gay man, but the reporter quickly informed Tanisa that he wasn’t gay.

Yeah, She’s Lying

According to the Post Millennial:

Rep. Ilhan Omar has denied being a millionaire and has now claimed that her net worth is actually under $100,000 in a new disclosure filing. This comes after a filing of up to $30 millon net worth was revised down to a significantly smaller amount.

Omar has blamed an accounting error for her disclosure last year that said she and her husband held assets between $6 million and $30 million. The Wall Street Journal reported that in an amended filing, Omar and her husband’s assets are supposedly $18,004 and $95,000,

“The amended disclosure confirms what we’ve said all along: The congresswoman is not a millionaire,” Omar spokesperson Jacklyn Rogers told the reporters, adding that the filing was corrected “as soon as the discrepancy was identified.”

The amended filing followed a request for more information from the Office of Congressional Conduct this year.

Omar’s lawyer claimed that the filing was inaccurate and that it was the fault of an accountant.

“As the busiest of people, it is very common for members and their spouses to rely on learned professionals like accountants to make calculations and determinations that appear on public filings,” the attorney said. “While the error is of course unfortunate, there is nothing untoward and nothing illegal has occurred.”

Episode 1178 – It’s Time to SAVE the Country!

The Left always eats its own. Celebrations over the Union darling, Cesar Chavez are being cancelled. Let’s talk about it.

The ladies of the WNBA are getting raises. Let’s see how that works out.

And the SAVE Act is being voted on again. Republicans are saying it is common sense legislation. Democrats say it is “Jim Crow 2.0”. Which is it? Let’s go through the bill.

News

Here is some news:

  • Senate Republicans on Tuesday successfully launched their floor takeover to put Senate Democrats on record against Trump-backed voter ID legislation.
    • Still, opening up what will be a multi-day marathon debate on the bill wasn’t without its hiccups. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, joined all Senate Democrats to block the legislation. Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., who threatened to do everything he could to block the bill, did not vote. 
  • Celebrations for what would have been civil rights activist Cesar Chavez‘s 99th birthday are being canceled ahead of what’s being described as “deeply troubling allegations” against the historic figure.
    • As cancellations grew, the United Farm Workers (UFW), an organization co-founded by Chavez, released a statement on Tuesday confirming allegations were being made, including ones involving abuse of young women or minors. In response, the UFW announced it would no longer take part in any Cesar Chavez Day activities.
    • It is unclear at this time what the source of the allegations are and the details surrounding them.
    • Chavez has been a longtime-celebrated figure in the Democratic Party as a model for labor rights. However, Chavez has also reportedly spoken out against illegal immigration, calling illegal aliens a threat to union workers.
  • The WNBA and its players union reached a deal in principle on a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA), keeping the league on track to tip off on May 8.
    • Did you know the season starts on May 8th? I didn’t either. That’s because no one cares.
    • The deal is expected to reflect the rapid growth over the last two seasons. The league exploded in popularity with the emergence of Caitlin Clark in 2024, along with some of the other members of her rookie class.
    • Players’ salaries are also expected to increase fourfold from last season. The average salary in the WNBA is $102K a year. That will pop the total to $400,000 per year.
  • Venezuela defeated the United States at the World Baseball Classic to win their first championship.
    • Trump posted on Truth Social: “STATEHOOD, #51, ANYONE?”

The SAVE Act

These two guys are idiots and if they can’t get a birth certificate or passport (which they are lying, they have both) they shouldn’t be in power.

These two can also make it easier to get all three by changing the laws, but they don’t.

Some things about the SAVE Act:

  • The SAVE Act is simple. It is only 24 pages long.
  • You are required to register to vote with either a federal ID (a REAL ID or passport) or birth certificate.
  • It is really easy and cheap to get all three!!
  • A REAL ID costs the same as a state ID, about $45.
  • A passport card costs about $30.
  • A birth certificate costs about $25.
  • State IDs can be used if they give the date and location of birth. Most states don’t do this.
  • Now, I’ll be a jerk. If one is too stupid to be able to get one of these forms of identification, they are to stupid to be voting.
  • The other thing the bill requires is that voter rolls be purged of immigrants (illegal and legal) and dead people.
    • In states like California, immigrants (legal or illegal) are “accidently” registered to vote when they get an ID or driver’s license.
    • Some states allow immigrants to vote in local or state elections (which we should ban). They automatically get registered in federal elections.
    • Dead people end up voting in election fraudulently.
  • I think voter rolls should be purged after every presidential election and you should have to register every four years.

Finally, is any of this convenient? Absolutely not. It shouldn’t be. It should take some effort to vote. We should also ban mail in voting, early voting, and voting machines. You should have to wait in line on election day and vote on paper. Like we did before the pandemic.

For 244 years, we have voted in person, on paper, on one day every two years on the first Tuesday of November and always had the results on election night. The more technology we’ve thrown into the process and the more options for convenience we’ve thrown out have made our elections less efficient and less trustworthy. We never had these discussions in any elections outside of the 2000 election.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Here We Go Again

According to the Daily Wire:

Two people were killed and at least three others critically injured after a man who identifies as a woman opened fire at a high school hockey game in Rhode Island.

Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves confirmed in a Monday evening press conference that Robert Dorgan, who goes by the name Roberta Esposito, killed himself after what she said was likely a targeted shooting stemming from a family dispute. A clip circulating on social media appears to show Dorgan’s daughter leaving a police station and telling reporters that her father “shot my family” and “he’s dead now.” The woman added that Dorgan “has mental health issues,” and “was very sick.”

Court records from 2020 confirm that Dorgan had undergone gender reassignment surgery. Dorgan claimed to North Providence Police at the time that his father-in-law attempted to throw him out of the house following his surgery. Around that time, Dorgan’s wife filed for divorce, initially citing “gender reassignment surgery, narcissistic + personality disorder traits” as the reason before crossing them out and writing “irreconcilable differences.”

Authorities have not publicly identified the victims, nor have they confirmed the precise relationships involved in the apparent family dispute. Police have also not released information about the weapon used.

This is the latest shooting perpetrated by a transgender-identifying attacker. Earlier this month, a man who identified as a woman and wore a dress killed 10 people at a Canadian school. Transgender-identifying shooters perpetrated deadly attacks on schools in Nashville in 2023 and in Minneapolis in 2025. The latter attack was the subject of the last question Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was asked when he was assassinated in September.

They Deserve This

According to the Post Millennial:

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has announced his preliminary budget, saying that in order to raise enough tax revenue to fill the gap in New York City‘s budget, New York Governor Kathy Hochul will have to allow him to raise taxes on the wealthiest New Yorkers and corporations, or that the tax burden will be passed onto property taxes, which would increase costs for everyday New Yorkers. The funding would primarily go to social services, as Mamdani presented on Tuesday. 

Here he is during a press conference yesterday:

Mamdani said that Hochul and Albany should raise income taxes on those earning over $1 million a year and the “most profitable corporations.” 

Mamdani, when asked about the prospect of raising property taxes, said that it should be a “last resort” and that the tax increases would have to be imposed on those who are the wealthiest in the city. The proposal, as a “last resort,” would be a raise of property taxes by 9.5 percent.

Without pursuing either of those two options, Mamdani said that the revenue gap would stay at around $4.7 billion.

Some facts:

  • The budget has a deficit this year of $3.5 billion.
  • He wants to spend another $1.2 billion.
  • The city has spent $3.75 billion on illegal aliens.
  • The total budget for New York is about $110-120 billion.
Property classTypical use2025–26 NYC tax rate (approx.)
Class 11–3 family homes, small residentialAbout 19.8% of assessed valuenyc+1
Class 2Large residential, co-ops, condosAbout 12.4–12.5% of assessed valuenyc+2
Class 3Utility and special franchise propertyAbout 11.1% of assessed valuenyc+2
Class 4Commercial/industrial (offices, stores)About 10.8–10.9% of assessed valuenyc

How your bill is actually calculated

For a given property in NYC, the tax bill is roughly:

  • Assessed value (after assessment rules, caps, and exemptions) × class tax rate = base tax.
  • Then NYC applies any exemptions or abatements (e.g., STAR, co‑op/condo abatements, senior/disabled homeowner exemptions) to reduce the bill.

Example: If a Class 1 home has an assessed value of 100,000 (not market value), the property tax before exemptions would be roughly 19,800 for the year at a 19.8% rate.

Episode 1162 – DEI IS Toxic Empathy and Racist!

Canada has a mass shooting in a school. Canada is giving up the real story without saying it.

California loses another high-profile name because of its tax policies.

And a judge makes a common sense decision concerning ICE.

News

Here is some news:

  • A major mass shooting occurred on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, in the small community of Tumbler Ridge in northeastern British Columbia, Canada, with at least nine people killed and more than two dozen injured at a secondary school and a nearby home.
  • Facebook and Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg has become the latest tech billionaire to ditch California in search of greener pastures and has ended up in Florida. The move from Zuckerberg comes as California is considering a 5 percent tax on the ultra-wealthy in the state.
  • The Federal Aviation Administration lifted a flight restriction that had grounded all flights to and from El Paso International Airport in Texas on Wednesday, after previously warning that the U.S. government “may use deadly force” against any aircraft in violation.
    • A Trump administration official told Fox News that the initial lockdown came in response to “Mexican cartel drones” that breached U.S. airspace.
    • The FAA had announced Wednesday morning that all flights to and from El Paso were being grounded, including commercial, cargo and general aviation. The restriction was initially set to be effective from February 10 at 11:30 p.m. MST to February 20 at 11:30 p.m. MST.
  • January jobs report came out.
    • 130,000 private sector jobs were created. Unemployment went down to 4.3%.
    • There was an adjustment for the year 2025, down 425,000 jobs.
  • Wages have gone up beyond the inflation rate, but not a lot.
    • Prices are not going to go down to 2019 levels. Unfortunately, inflation wasn’t transitory.

Because It’s Unconstitutional?

According to the Daily Wire:

A federal judge ruled Monday that California can’t enforce a law banning federal immigration agents from wearing masks.

Judge Christina A. Snyder from the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California ruled that California’s “No Secret Police Act” both discriminates against the federal government for solely applying to federal law enforcement and violates its power granted by the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause.

Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom signed the law in September to ban Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from wearing masks while making arrests, forcing them to show their faces. The Department of Homeland Security quickly jumped to condemn the law, calling it “a flagrant attempt to endanger” federal officers.

ICE agents currently face a more than 1,000% increase in assaults, a surge in doxxing efforts, and a roughly 8,000% jump in death threats, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

Toxic Empathy

According to Perplexity:

In February 2026, Davis sharply reduced the sentence that a Jefferson County jury recommended for defendant Christopher Earl Thompson, convicted of a 2023 kidnapping, armed robbery, and sexual assault in Louisville. The jury reportedly recommended a 65‑year sentence, but Davis imposed 30 years, citing the defendant’s age and potential for rehabilitation, while adding more than four years for his contemptuous conduct toward the court.

The case involved Thompson abducting a woman in her own vehicle, forcing her to perform oral sex at gunpoint, robbing her at an ATM, and sexually assaulting her again, with DNA evidence tying him to the crime. Local Republicans, including Louisville Metro Council Minority Caucus Chair Anthony Piagentini, publicly denounced the reduced sentence, arguing it disrespected the jury’s decision and endangered public safety.

That’s What Los Angeles Needs!

According to the New York Post:

A radical left-wing group in Los Angeles has published a shocking 40-page roadmap to transform the nation’s second-largest city into a bizarre socialist experiment.

The Democratic Socialists of America’s LA chapter wants to straight-up seize private property through a “creative use of eminent domain,” take control of your neighborhood grocery store, and replace cops with unarmed social workers while shutting down jails.

The 3,500 member group has already helped elect several candidates to local office, and previously backed Nithya Raman, a DSA-member now running for mayor. They openly trash the Democratic Party establishment as capitalist sellouts and want to build “working class power” through what they call a “socialist mass organization.”

The manifesto, published in 2025 is more than 9,000-words long and gives an insight into the policies that a potential Mayor Raman has signed up to as a DSA member and could try to implement in LA. It targets the “status quo coalition” of elected officials, real estate developers, billionaires, nonprofits, and even some union leaders who’ve supposedly sold out workers.

They think they can actually pull this off in six to eight years through local elections and organizing.

“We are on the burning edge of the economic, climate, and moral crises that define this generation,” the manifesto warns, adding ominously: “The choice remains socialism or barbarism.”

So, what are the goals of the Democratic Socialists of America?

  • Seizing privately owned housing using eminent domain to seize private property and convert to public/social housing
  • Build city-owned municipal enterprises and expropriate corporations in essential industries (grocery, restaurants, internet, etc.)
  • Decommission Men’s Central Jail and don’t replace with any carceral facilities
  • Execute shift to 100% renewable energy by 2035 — complete fossil fuel elimination in 11 years
  • Make all public transportation free (buses, trains, bike share)
  • Publicly acquire and operate all energy systems — full public takeover of utilities
  • Reclaim private and public golf courses via zoning/legislative means for housing/parks
  • Divest public pension investments from war profiteers, defense contractors, and fossil fuel companies
  • Replace armed police with unarmed alternatives for traffic enforcement and mental health crises
  • End all contracts between public agencies and corporations profiting from war/fossil fuels (including Metro’s contracts)
  • Ban all unhosted short-term rentals (Airbnb, etc.)
  • Prosecute and permanently decertify all cops who kill
  • Noncitizen voting in all local elections
  • Vacancy tax on empty housing units
  • Universal rent control statewide
  • Automatic rent freezes and eviction moratoriums with any state of emergency
  • Decriminalize all drug use and fund safe injection sites
  • Restore voting rights for all former felons
  • End all means-testing for child development programs
