Grieving families’ fury exposes Democrats’
grotesque gaslighting on violent crime

On Monday, as I watched the House Judiciary Committee convene its field hearing on violent crime in Charlotte, NC, it all came rushing back. In April 2023, I testified before that same committee here in New York, in a hearing made necessary by the disastrous progressive policies implemented by a George Soros-funded district attorney and the state’s “soft-on-crime” laws. I spoke both as a survivor of homicide — the love of my life was murdered decades ago — and as an advocate who has worked alongside countless other victims of violent crime ever since. My words were not about politics, but about life and death.

Historically, no one really wins a government shutdown. But JD Vance might. In the 24 hours after Senate Democrats voted against a continuing resolution to keep the federal lights on, the vice president quickly became the face of the White House counterargument.
Vance began the day on Fox and Friends to blast Democrats for taking the government “hostage.” By midmorning, he was rallying the MAGA base during an appearance on The Ben Shapiro Show, where he predicted that Democratic resolve was “cracking.” In the afternoon, the vice president made a surprise appearance in the White House briefing room.
Democrats have decided to enter their fight era.
As they try to refurbish their reputation and lagging poll numbers, party leaders have decided that causing a government shutdown is the way to go.
Good luck with that.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer have refused to back down on costly demands they want included in a continuing resolution backed by Republicans to keep the government funded for the next few weeks. Democrats want to extend Obamacare subsidies, among other unlikely wishes. Democrats may think their tough talk will earn them points come the 2026 midterm elections, but I don’t think it’s going to work out
Vice President JD Vance smacked down Democrat lawmakers’ "preposterous" claim that Democrats are not trying to provide taxpayer-funded health care benefits to illegal immigrants in an interview with "FOX & Friends" on Wednesday. Vance said Democrats want to reinstate Biden-era federal funding for emergency healthcare for illegal immigrants that was ended under the Trump administration.
"They say, ‘We're not actually trying to give health care benefits to illegal aliens,’" Vance said of the Democrats. "And here's why it's not true."
Vance called out two Biden-era programs "that explicitly gave the taxpayer health care money to illegal aliens that we turned off when President Trump took over in January."
In "The Art of War," Chinese military general and strategist Sun Tzu wrote, "Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win."
It's 2025 now, and I don't want war, but I want to live in an America with a military that embodies a victorious warrior spirit all the same. This is the best way to deter war and be prepared when it inevitably occurs. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, formerly the secretary of Defense, gave a speech on Sept. 30 to hundreds of senior military leaders gathered that I hope will inspire such a spirit again.
“Good morning, and welcome to the War Department because the era of the Department of Defense is over,” Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth told hundreds of generals and admirals gathered Tuesday at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia. The secretary told the top military brass, summoned on short notice last week, that 10 directives would arrive in the inboxes of commands Tuesday. Some of the initiatives include adding combat field tests for combat arms units, emphasizing “male-level” standards for fitness, and seeing that every member of the joint force — including four-star generals — take a fitness test twice a year and meet height and weight requirements.
President Trump used an AI-generated video to mock Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) on Monday, hours after he met with the Democratic congressional leaders at the White House to discuss the looming government shutdown.
The faux footage, posted by Trump on Truth Social, shows Jeffries – depicted with a mustache and sombrero – standing silently next to Schumer, who, in a fake voice, argues in favor of giving “illegal aliens free healthcare” as part of an effort to court “new voters” for the Democratic Party.
A traditional Mexican folk song plays over the 35-second video, for which the White House appears to serve as the backdrop.
At an address of assembled generals and admirals, Pete Hegseth, the US defense secretary, outlined changes to military policy and philosophy in a set of 10 directives meant to change organizational culture around fitness, race and gender, describing the previous state of military affairs as the “woke department.”
Donald Trump followed Hegseth’s call to embrace the virtues of lethality as a doctrine with a suggestion buried in an hour-long campaign-style speech that the gathering of officers and senior enlisted advisers should consider targeting US cities and civilian populations as a training exercise.
President Donald Trump’s 20-point peace plan to end the Gaza war, deliver the hostages, remove Hamas from power, ensure security for Israel and rebuild Gaza is ambitious and welcome, offering a real hope for regional peace and prosperity — if Hamas will take it, and maybe even if the terrorists won’t.
The plan, conceived in concert with a range of regional powers, is equal parts idealistic and practical.
And perhaps its most idealistic piece, the proposed “Board of Peace” — a multinational and interagency overseer to shepherd Gaza’s postwar progress — is the only realistic route out of this ghastly vortex.
New Jersey Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mikie Sherrill, who is currently embroiled in a controversy involving a cheating scandal while she studied at the U.S. Naval Academy, is facing questions and accusations of nepotism over her children being admitted to that same academy earlier this year.
"I am so proud of all the young men and women from NJ-11 who are reporting to the military academies or academy preparatory programs this summer," Sherrill said in a June press release highlighting 24 students from her district being appointed to various military academies including two of her children, Lincoln and Margaret Hedberg.
They say the only things in life that are certain are death and taxes, but I think I could add a third axiom to that list: President Donald Trump will vow to fix a problem, Democrats will claim it isn't a problem, or that he's an authoritarian overreacting. Trump will fix it anyway; they'll admit he was half-right, and the cycle will start over. This happened with the overrun border and a National Guard presence in Washington, DC, and it's bound to happen in Portland, Oregon, too.
Oregon and Portland have sued the Trump administration after the president announced

This month, the Department of Education released its latest edition of the National Assessment of Educational Progress, the standardized tests better known as the Nation’s Report Card. The results have left me blazing with rage.
In my home state of California, for instance, only 30% of public school fourth graders can read proficiently. Fully 41% cannot even read at a basic level — which is to say, they cannot really understand and interpret written text at all. Eighth graders, as you might expect, look almost as bad.
These numbers have been tumbling downhill in California and more widely across the U.S. for years now,

Having grown up Catholic, and having attended Catholic mass quite recently, I feel particular sadness over the following story.
In fact, it reminded me of why I once turned to one of history’s greatest Anglicans, the legendary Christian author C.S. Lewis, for help with understanding what lies at the core of Christianity, as well as why Christians of different denominations feel so strongly about their differences.
In a video posted to YouTube on Tuesday, a reporter from the Catholic television network EWTN asked Pope Leo XIV to help people of faith understand a decision by Cardinal Blase Cupich, Archbishop of Chicago, to honor pro-abortion Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois,
This week, federal officials made an astounding announcement: Nearly half of all immigrants in greater Minneapolis were found to have committed some form of immigration fraud.
The fraud, uncovered in a September sweep, came in all kinds — sham marriages, fake death certificates and “other bizarre schemes,” as US Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Joseph Edley put it.
But the revelation was no great surprise to those of us who have followed the settlement of some 100,000 Somali immigrants in Minnesota over the past three decades.
As far back as 2008, the State Department temporarily suspended one of the family reunification programs used by Somali immigrants when DNA testing of applicants
The national Black Lives Matter movement claims $33.4 million of its cash is being withheld by one of its progressive partner organizations, The Post has learned.
In a scathing lawsuit, Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation accuse the Tides foundation — backed by George Soros — of alleged “deceptive business practices” as well as “egregious mismanagement” of its money, while demanding its return.
The lawsuit was filed last year, but the stakes were raised on Monday when the BLMGNF — which oversees its other regional operations — asked the California Attorney General to step in and investigate Tides.
Election Day 2025 is just around the corner. While it may not be covered with the same intensity as the 2026 midterm elections, Democrats can no longer afford to focus on what happened in 2024.
To win upcoming elections, my fellow Democrats must go beyond criticizing President Trump’s awful actions and policies. They must advocate for programs that most people believe will improve their lives by making America more affordable.Democratic candidates are doing this now as they campaign in the only two races for governor this year, in Virginia and New Jersey. If they win the Nov. 4 elections,
A new gubernatorial candidate has entered the fold in Georgia with an incredibly cringeworthy advertisement to let voters know who she is.
Democratic candidate Ruma Romman posted her campaign ad to social media platform X on Monday where she spouted all the usual leftist drivel about people being put last while big, bad corporations hold down them down. She promised to feed the hungry, increase the minimum wage, open hospitals, and help small businesses. “Georgia belongs to all of us, not just corporations and special interests,” Romman declared in front of a group of paid actors.
Charlie Kirk is dead. Americans must face why.
His murder was not random, not confusing, not detached from the battles he fought so fiercely in life. It was the direct consequence of his bold refusal to bend before one of the most aggressive and destabilizing ideologies of our time: transgender radicalism.
For years, Kirk warned about the dangers of this movement. Not just its cultural consequences, but the deeper crisis of mental illness and violence it has unleashed across the nation. In the end, his voice was silenced by precisely the pestilence he spent his career opposing.
The facts are painfully clear. On Sept. 13, 2025, police captured Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old suspect
The federal government partially shut down at midnight Wednesday, hours after all but three Senate Democrats voted down a short-term funding bill.
The shutdown is the first since December 2018, which saw non-essential government operations cease and tens of thousands of federal employees furloughed or forced to work without pay for 35 days until lawmakers agreed on a stopgap funding measure.
White House Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought notified federal department and agency heads shortly after Tuesday’s failed Senate vote to keep the government funded to begin preparations for a shutdown. V
Zohran Mamdani just offered fresh proof of his deep anti-cop bigotry with his call to shift key powers to discipline officers to the Civilian Complaint Review Board.
It’s a terrible fix for a problem that doesn’t exist — and one that would lead to worse policing, and so more crime; it would likely even produce a force with far more bad cops.
“What I would do is ensure that the recommendations of the CCRB be understood to be the final voice of the question of accountability,” Mamdani says — without pointing to any actual bad results of the current law, which gives final say to the police commissioner.

OKLAHOMA CITY– On Monday, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt announced authorities apprehended 130 alleged “illegal” immigrants from multiple countries under “Operation Guardian” sweep along Interstate 40.
According to the Governor Stitt’s announcement, the operation handled by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol (OHP) targeted enforcement along I-40 in western Oklahoma with numerous commercial truck drivers utilizing licensures issued by sanctuary states from multiple countries, including India, Uzbekistan, China, Russia, Georgia, Turkey, Tajikistan, Ukraine, and Mauritania.
OHP says, one license listed “No Name Given.”
Computer industry executives, economists, government officials and businesspeople all seem to be very high on the prospects for artificial intelligence (AI). But what about average Americans? They mostly believe AI should be feared, not embraced, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.
To kick off the three-question national online poll on AI, I&I/TIPP first asked 1,362 Americans the following: “Do you think artificial intelligence (AI) will mostly create new jobs, mostly take away jobs, or not make much difference?”
It wasn’t close. Just 17% responded that AI would create jobs,
President Donald J. Trump has signed an Executive Order committing the United States to the security of Qatar, a significant move for the non-NATO, Arab ally. The order asserts that any armed attack on Qatar’s territory or infrastructure will be seen as a threat to U.S. peace and security.“The United States shall regard any armed attack on the territory, sovereignty, or critical infrastructure of the State of Qatar as a threat to the peace and security of the United States,” the Executive Order states, continuing: “In the event of such an attack, the United States shall take all lawful and appropriate measures—including diplomatic, economic, and, if necessary, military—to defend
