Progressive Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell is being investigated by the feds for allegedly “aiding and abetting” illegal immigrants and obstructing ICE agents. The Department of Homeland Security and congressional judiciary committees are probing whether O’Connell used federal tax dollars “in criminal enterprise” related to illegal immigration, Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles announced. The progressive mayor had condemned a huge Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation that nabbed immigrants — many criminals with gang affiliations — and then signed an executive order making city staff report all communications they have with agents.

This criminal behavior will continue like Whack-A-Mole until someone goes to prison for a long time.

My suspicion is that Freddie could be investigated for a lot of things, including financial issues.

Fast Freddie is just the front man for the "good ole boy" conglomerate that has been running Metro Nashville for decades. He has a lot of wealth and power behind him and with the leftist courts behind him he will be difficult to prosecute. A lot of dubious wheeling and dealing has gone on with this group for a long time. I will be amazed if he goes down.

Fun Time Freddie is one of a line of highly regrettable mayors. While Nashville has always had Democrat mayors (party affiliation while known is irrelevant as no Republican could ever get elected thanks to the high percentage of Black Democrats in Nashville who sold themselves cheap to the Democrats in the 60's and never looked back) only up until the last 3 have they had complete moron "progressive" liberals. Most have been pro business, pro capitalism, pro growth, and while towing the then Democrat line blah blah did so with butt cheeks firmly implanted on the left/right fence as if to leap off to the right at any convenient moment to save their sorry political hides. Many had suck a host of skeletons in their closet (Bill Boner, Beverly Briley) that they had to be more moderate to even have a political career in Nashville which has always been a more morally conservative town. BUT these last 3 mayors have been complete disasters. But no worries the bought and paid for Black Democrats and brainless liberal college professors and their intellectual spawn will just elect another disaster of a Democrat when Fun Time Freddie is gone.

I would rather not even hear about this nonsense. All we hear is 'it's being looked into', 'we're investigating', we're thinking about possible indictments, there's a possibility the law was broken. Nothing but empty words, then the story disappears, never to be heard from again. It's hard to give a damn any longer. It's just a matter of time before the Rats retake power and the lawfare starts all over again - only next time, it'll be 100x worse.

One of the masked thugs suspected of savagely beating and robbing an off-duty NYPD cop at knifepoint in the Bronx over the weekend was busted Tuesday morning, law enforcement sources said. Taveon Hargrove, 23, was picked up by the US Marshals’ Regional Fugitive Task Force in North Chesterfield, Virginia, in connection to the brutal caught-on-video early Saturday attack on the 27-year-old officer on St. Peters Avenue in Westchester Square, according to the sources. Charges are pending against Hargrove, who cops over the weekend warned was “to be considered armed and dangerous.”

It appears DEI is still alive and well in the US Secret Service even though there has been a change of guard. Two female US Secret Service Uniformed Division officers got into a physical fight outside of Barack Obama’s DC residence at 2:30 am on Wednesday. It is unclear if anyone was injured or disciplined over the fight. Per RealClearPolitics reporter Susan Crabtree: Two female Secret Service Uniformed Division officers got into a physical fight outside former President Obama’s D.C. residence while guarding it. The fracas occurred at roughly 2:30 a.m. early Wednesday morning, according to two sources in the Secret Service community.

I have no idea how to comprehend this act of incompetence. Last Friday, severe storms rolled into St. Louis. A tornado touched down and struck the northern part of the city—and there were no warning sirens. The tornado alarm system was never activated. It wasn’t due to a computer glitch. It was human error: the emergency management director, Sarah Russell, essentially forgot to turn it on, but it gets worse: the staff wasn’t even in the office. Russell contacted the fire department to initiate the system, but this was a shambolic failure

Apocalyptic cults provide a window on some amazing complex group dynamics. First, of course is the "apocalyptic" part. This is what they are best known for -- the world is going to end next Tuesday or the aliens will be arriving the first of the month to take the chosen to space heaven, or a hundred other crazed ideas. The cults preach that the only way to “escape this impending doom is by joining the group, adhering to its leader's teachings, and following its prescribed rituals.” For the Democrat party, the most recent apocalyptic tale is of course the horrors of climate change.

Apparently, nobody’s watching the watchmen.

The Post recently observed Allied Universal Security Services guards inside the Herald Square station holding the emergency doors open on two different occasions to let a stream of scofflaws through. Several commuters could be seen walking up to the gate, and exchanging words with the guard, who then let them in. Whenever the guard opened the door, other fare-evaders would make a dash for it. “Whenever the gate opens, nobody wants to pay,” offered Allied Guard

President Trump went there! Trump posted a video titled, “The Video Hillary Clinton Does Not Want You to See” that documented just some of the mysterious ‘suicides’ linked to the Clinton Crime family. The video touched on the deaths of John F. Kennedy Jr., DNC staffer Seth Rich, Clinton White House Counsel Vince Foster, Clinton White House intern Mary Mahoney, and others connected to the Clintons. In July 1999, Hillary Clinton’s senate rival and front-runner for NY senate seat John F. Kennedy Jr. died in a plane crash. Mary Mahoney was a Clinton White House intern who could have been a star witness at the Clinton impeachment trials.

WASHINGTON — A federal court on Wednesday blocked President Donald Trump from imposing sweeping tariffs on imports under an emergency-powers law, swiftly throwing into doubt Trump’s signature set of economic policies that have rattled global financial markets, frustrated trade partners and raised broader fears about inflation intensifying and the economy slumping. The ruling from a three-judge panel at the New York-based U.S. Court of International Trade came after several lawsuits arguing Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs exceeded his authority and left the country’s trade policy dependent on his whims. Trump has repeatedly said the tariffs would force manufacturers to bring back factory jobs to the U.S.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz pledged Wednesday to help Ukraine develop its own long-range missile systems that would be free of any Western-imposed limitations on their use and targets as the Kyiv government fights to repel Russia’s invasion. Some of the advanced weapon systems that allies have supplied to Ukraine during the 3-year war were subject to range and target restrictions — a fraught political issue stemming from fears that if the weapons struck deep inside Russia, the Kremlin might retaliate against the country that provided them and draw NATO into Europe’s biggest conflict since World War II.

HARTFORD, CT- Once again, Connecticut Democrats have come down on the wrong side of an 80/20 issue. Last week, the House Democratic majority advanced legislation that will force municipalities to abide by the state’s so-called “Trust Act,” which permits “any aggrieved person” to seek an injunction against a municipality or its agents, including police and school employees, that cooperate with federal immigration officials, the CT Mirror reports. The bill was revised after pro-illegal alien advocates argued that municipalities, i.e., police departments, can ignore the state law already in place that defines when police and others can alert federal agents to the location of

At just under $5 per gallon in Walnut Creek, some drivers are forking out over $100 to fill up the tank. With two refineries preparing to shut down, that’s expected to drive up prices. In the East Bay, the Valero Benicia Refinery is expected to close in April 2026. Down in Southern California, owners of the Phillips 66 refinery are also planning to stop operations

Cillizza shared the incident on his Substack, calling it yet another example of how the politicization of everyday life is “making us all crazy.” “So this is the first time I’ve experienced the sort of politics of Elon Musk and Tesla,” he said. But beneath his words was a deeper, more uncomfortable realization. Back when he bought his Tesla—a Model 3 purchased around 2019 or 2020—Cillizza assumed the real danger would come from conservatives.
