New York's Historic Roosevelt Hotel Is
a 'Migrant' Shelter No Longer

Sometimes the winning comes a little bit at a time, and sometimes it comes in significant chunks. This is one of the latter, mostly due to the historical significance of the building involved: On Monday, the Department of Homeland Security announced that New York City's famous Roosevelt Hotel is no longer being used as free housing for illegal aliens. [Tweets] This is a piece of good news. What the Department of Homeland Security doesn't mention is how long it will take to make this historic hotel once more fit to receive paying guests again, if it ever does.

A fearless father jumped off a Disney cruise ship when his daughter fell overboard Sunday — miraculously grabbing her and then treading water for around 20 minutes until they were rescued.
The Disney Dream ship was heading from Florida to the Bahamas when an alert suddenly boomed, “Mr MOB … port side!” referring to “man overboard,” video of the drama shows.
“A girl fell overboard from the 4th deck & her dad went in after her,” fellow passenger Kevin Furuta posted on Facebook.
Other tense vacationers watched as a bright yellow rescue boat was lowered into the water and eventually made its way
Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Todd Lyons says left-wing activists are targeting ICE agents, with some going after agents’ families, including their children.
In a video posted to X on Monday, Lyons revealed that ICE and the United States Secret Service tracked down one particular activist who had been targeting the children of ICE agents online.
“Wouldn’t you wear a mask if it kept your family safe, if it kept your kids safe? We ran an operation with the Secret Service,” Lyons said. “We arrested someone who was going online, taking [ICE agents’] photos, posting their families, their kids’ Instagrams, their kids’ Facebooks, and targeting them.
The Los Angeles Times is referring to a 43-year-old illegal alien accused of sexually abusing and then murdering 13-year-old Oscar Omar Hernandez in the sanctuary state of California as a “youth soccer coach.”
In a piece titled “Teen allegedly killed by soccer coach died of acute alcohol poisoning, family’s attorney says,” LA Times reporters Seema Mehta and James Queally fail to mention that Mario Edgardo Garcia-Aquino, charged with Hernandez’s murder, is an illegal alien from El Salvador.
Instead, the LA Times identifies Garcia-Aquino as a “soccer coach” a total of four times throughout the piece. The LA Times calls Garcia-Aquino a “youth soccer coach” when describing what allegedly happened to Hernandez:

DeSantis Announces '2nd Amendment Tax

It just keeps getting better, gang.
While President Donald Trump continues on a winning streak seldom seen in presidential politics, the Democrat Party continues to self-immolate — devoid of constructive dialog, much less offering solutions other than throwing fire bombs (pun intended?) — over virtually everything that comes down the conservative pike.
I have a sneaking suspicion that the Democrat theatrics are about to erupt into full-metal histrionic meltdown — at least in Florida — after Gov. Ron DeSantis's announcement of a "Second Amendment Tax Holiday."
DeSantis said on Monday:
Thank you ... for heeding my call to deliver a Second Amendment Tax Holiday, and so firearms, ammo, accoutrement —
If you had Bob Vylan tickets for later in the year, I have some bad news: It doesn't look like the punk-rap duo will be performing in the United States anytime soon. (Snip) Anyway, Bob Vylan just got a lesson in Marco Rubio's version of FAFO, and it's pretty glorious. (Snip) Later in the day, the Daily Wire reported that the State Department was looking into it. And on Monday, Adam Kredo of the Free Beacon confirmed that he'd spoken to senior officials who told him that the performers' visas have officially been revoked.

The ascendancy of Zohran Mamdani to challenge Eric Adams for the crown of the leader of New York City has many a resident looking for the exits. Now my cohorts, Brandon Morse and Ward Clark, have offered up warning labels about their respective states of Texas and Alaska as possible landing spots for those fleeing the promised political oppression, but allow me to string up some tropical warning tape at the northern border of Florida. This is not the verdant Valhalla many expect.
Yes, we have been the preferred destination for many a New York transplant, but as a lifelong resident of this dysfunctional peninsula,
America Wins, Cry Harder

It’s not every day the Supreme Court hands down a legal earthquake, but this week, it did. In fact, it dropped an entire tectonic plate on the heads of the radical Left.
A string of rulings came down that can only be described as massive wins, not just for President Trump, but for America.
On their own, any one of these would be a generational victory. Together? They’re a total body slam.
Let’s recap the carnage.
First, the Court ruled that states can cut off taxpayer dollars to abortion mills like Planned Parenthood. Let me repeat that: You no longer have to fund the slaughter of innocent children if your state says “No."
It looks like President Trump’s reconciliation package will be the last significant piece of legislation that Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) will vote on before he leaves public life. Yes, you read that right—the North Carolina Republican is calling it quits. He won’t be running for re-election. [Tweets]
Tillis was set to run for another term in the 2026 midterms, although he faced a two-front war, one of which was created solely by his own poor decisions. On the Democratic side, he was going to face a tough challenge from former Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper.
How Could Anyone Support These People?

That the Democratic Party is a clown car stuffed with perverts, weirdos, and mutants who are not ready to deal with the fact that their parents never really loved them is a bit of a harsh assessment, but the truth sometimes is. Why their parents didn’t like them is understandable, honestly, but why others do is a mystery. So I thought I’d take a look at just a few of the “leaders on the left” whose existence makes me question how anyone, at least anyone not currently drunk or on serious drugs, could support these people.
Nancy Pelosi. The fish rots from the head,
Donald Trump has a knack for making the so-called experts look foolish, and nowhere is that more apparent than in the ongoing debate over tariffs. The political and economic elite have ridiculed Trump’s approach, insisting that his tough stance on trade would backfire, cause a recession and cripple the U.S. economy. Yet despite all the apocalyptic predictions, the economy hasn’t gone south, and predictions of a looming recession have been quietly walked back.
Recently, a prominent anti-Trump economist admitted what many on the right have been saying from the beginning: Trump’s tariff strategy wasn’t the reckless gamble the media made it out to be.
Dear New Yorkers: Texas Will Break You

Hey New Yorkers. I heard you're probably going to get an outright communist as your mayor. Zohran Mamdani sounds like a real peach, and the fact that he won the Democrat Primary and is well on his way to the mayor's office has made many of you fire up your Zillow account and start looking for homes out of state.
I don't blame you, but let me offer you some advice. You're probably going to be tempted to come to Texas because so many companies have moved here, and you feel like you could easily land a job. I could see why you'd think that,

The University of Pennsylvania has agreed to ban transgender women from participating in its women's sports programs, resolving a federal civil rights investigation centered on swimmer Lia Thomas. The U.S. Department of Education announced the agreement Tuesday, saying the university violated Title IX by allowing Thomas to compete in women's events.
The case marks a significant moment in the Trump administration's broader push to restrict transgender athletes from competing in girls' and women's sports. As part of the resolution, Penn will reinstate Division I swimming records and titles to female athletes displaced by Thomas's victories and issue personalized apology letters to each of them.
Pity poor Jaguar. The British-based luxury and performance carmaker has had a rough go of it this century, but nothing could prepare anyone for the most bone-headed move in corporate history — and I don't mean Jaguar's woke "Reimagine" ad from late last year.
Let me bring you up to speed.
As recently as 2018, Jaguar sold 180,833 cars annually. Last year, they sold fewer than 33,000. In April — the most current sales figures available — Jag sold just 49 cars in the massive UK/Europe market. U.S. sales figures aren't available yet, but they aren't any better.
Jaguar went from selling 1,961 cars a month to 49 in just six years.
“Millions will die” [Updated]

From the U.K. Daily Mail,
More than 14 million people could die as a result of Donald Trump’s foreign aid cuts, a new study has found.
The US President’s administration announced it had slashed 83 per cent of programmes run by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) shortly after he returned to the White House for a second term.
And now research published in the leading medical journal, Lancet, has predicted that 14 million people – 4.5 million of whom are children under the age of five – could die by 2030 as a result.
There are something like 195 independent nations on the planet, and not a single one, other than America,
New Yorkers faced the choice of a miscreant former governor and a radical Democrat socialist for the position of mayor in the Democrat primary. Prior to Zohran Mamdani’s election in the primary, his absurd and speculative plans to provide all kinds of freebies to the citizenry were the talk of the town:
Mamdani’s platform focused on a number of issues that have animated socialists in the Democratic Party, including raising the minimum wage, hiking taxes on corporations and wealthy Americans, cracking down on delivery apps, as well as investing in affordable housing and creating city-owned grocery stores.
His campaign proposes a new minimum wage law that would raise the wage floor for
On July 4th, the movie “Sinners” will become the first show to be interpreted into “Black American Sign Language (BASL),” per a press release from Warner Bros.
The entertainment company described it as “a major step forward in accessibility, representation, and visibility in streaming.”
“BASL is a distinct dialect of American Sign Language (ASL) with its own dynamic history and unique grammar, signing space, rhythm, facial expressions, and cultural nuances,” the release stated. “For the first time, the Black Deaf community will have streaming access to a more

It was a surprising statement from Attorney General Pam Bondi as the Trump administration promises to release more files from its sex trafficking investigation of Jeffrey Epstein: The FBI, she said, was reviewing “tens of thousands of videos” of the wealthy financier “with children or child porn.”
The comment, made to reporters at the White House days after a similar remark to a stranger with a hidden camera, raised the stakes for President Donald Trump’s administration to prove it has in its possession previously unseen compelling evidence.
I appreciate even more now what Trump meant when he said that Elon is wearing thin. After a brief truce, the pluto-crat who wants to go to Mars is at it again. He is threatening to primary members of Congress who vote for the BBB.
He’s also teasing a new America Party as an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty. Some may consider that a good idea — in theory. In practice, under the influence of mercurial Musk, it could create more problems than it solves, for, while Trump is a stable genius, Musk is an unstable one.
Unlike the forgiving, magnanimous, and sagacious Trump (who’ll meet with

Just after midnight, Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski was pacing in a Senate hallway, alone and looking concerned.
It had suddenly become clear to all her Republican colleagues that her vote would be their best chance of passing President Donald Trump’s sweeping bill of tax and spending cuts. Had she decided whether she would support the bill? “No,” Murkowski said, shaking her head and putting her hand up to signal that she didn’t want to answer any questions.
Around 12 hours later, after she had convinced Senate leaders to change the bill to benefit her state and voted for the legislation, ensuring its passage,
When he's not assisting with taking out Iran's nuclear capabilities, revoking visas from those who support terrorism, or helping the president broker peace in Africa, he's looking after your tax dollars.
"The era of government-sanctioned inefficiency is OVER. From now on, our foreign assistance programs will be accountable to the American taxpayer," Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on X today. The post was accompanied by a lengthy Substack essay called "Make Foreign Aid Great Again."
It appears that USAID is officially dead.
The Democrats are now implacably self-destructive. They resemble nothing so much as a slowly capsizing ship, but show by their frenzied skullduggery that America is not in decline -- the opposition is rotten and hopeless but it still fights savagely. I hope readers will pardon a recitation of the party's gradual floundering. They pushed the nation into Vietnam, mismanaged the war, and deserted their own president (Lyndon Johnson), and when President Nixon saved their war, they crucified him on what can now be seen as the utterly absurd Watergate nonsense.
SAN DIEGO — Gas prices in California are expected to increase starting July 1 as two state policies go into effect. A 1.6-cent per gallon excise tax increase and stricter low-carbon fuel standards will impact fuel costs across the state. The gas tax will rise from 59 cents to about 61 cents per gallon to keep pace with inflation. Additionally, new low-carbon fuel standards will be implemented, though the exact impact on prices remains uncertain. (Snip) While the precise increase is unknown, estimates range from under 10 cents to 65 cents or more per gallon. Governor Gavin Newsom's office has released
The Democrats’ Phony Freakout About Mamdani
13 replies
It has been amusing to watch Democrats struggle to cope with the success of 33-year-old socialist Zohran Mamdani’s decisive win in the New York mayoral primaries. Why all the handwringing? Mamdani is now the mainstream of the once great Democratic Party.
The only difference is that Mamdani isn’t afraid to say what other Democratic politicians try to hide.
Think about what Mamdani has proposed or supported:
• A yearlong freeze on rent
• A $30 minimum wage
• Free bus service
• City-owned grocery stores
• Defunding the police
• Calling Israel’s war in Gaza a genocide.
“Mainstream” Democrats support every one of these positions
