Mamdani’s plan for disciplining cops
exposes his anti-blue bigotry
Posted By: Mercedes44, 10/2/2025 6:34:21 AM
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.

The federal government has shut down, readers, and that’s as close as I get to a “snow day” around here at National Review. Nobody’s budging on their negotiating position in Washington for the time being, and we’ve all placed our bets on who’s going to catch the blame. (My position: While this will likely factor into Virginia’s statewide elections in November, it will have no effect on 2026 either way.) Meanwhile, I’m still trying to convince my editors that as long as the feds are on strike I qualify for a fully paid vacation. (Surely I am the living definition of a “nonessential worker,” no?)
Keir Starmer strayed into fantasy when he claimed Channel migrants come to Britain aboard “Farage boats” and cannot be removed from this country due to Brexit.
The Prime Minister’s claim is preposterous and simply not grounded in fact, as even impartial observers agree.
When he referred to pre-Brexit Britain having “a returns agreement with every country in the EU” he was referencing the Dublin Agreement, which was supposed to facilitate asylum seekers being sent back to other European Union countries through which they had travelled.
But, put simply, the Dublin Agreement did not work.
Brilliant! CNN Photobombed in Memphis

Live Shot, Forcing Reporter to Destroy
Dem Crime Narrative 2 replies
Brilliant move by a patriot down in Memphis who photobombed a CNN live shot about President Donald Trump's efforts to crack down on crime in the blue city, forcing the reporter to destroy another Democrat narrative, noting that residents do want federal help.
During the CNN live broadcast in Memphis, the reporter was doing a report from Tennessee about Trump making good on his promise to make all of America safer again by sending in the National Guard to assist local law enforcement efforts in the blue-run city in the red state.
Following the midterm “shellacking” of 2010, President Obama and Eric Holder began the “secret research project” targeting political opposition using the IRS. DOJ asked the IRS for the donor data of all supporters to conservative groups. [Schedule B’s of 501c(3)(4)].
The IRS was used to identify targets 2011 and 2012, until discovered April ’12. President Obama has a problem. President Obama then sends his Chief of Staff, Jack Lew, to run the IRS and block discoveries around the IRS weaponization.
From 2012 through April 2016, the Obama administration then began spying on political opposition, using the FBI to conduct surveillance through their access to the NSA database.
We’re in the midst of a massive leftist counterattack that desperately seeks to distract us not just from the fact that one of their own, the trans/furry-tapping pervert, murdered Charlie Kirk, but from the fact that America is indisputably getting better. They’re scared. They’re really scared because they didn’t know this was going to happen, and they didn’t expect this to happen, and even now, they don’t fully understand the implications of either Trump’s success or of what their freakish ally did when he lit the fuse by pulling the trigger. The Charlie Kirk memorial was incomprehensible to them, with its patriotism,
A staffer for US Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) who burned to death in her backyard set herself on fire with gasoline, according to firefighters — but her family still insists it was an accident.
Regina Santos-Aviles “doused herself in gasoline” in Uvalde on September 13, according to a report from responding firefighters obtained by the Uvalde Leader News.

The 35-year-old mother then “was ignited in flames,” the report said, adding that burning gasoline cans were extinguished when firefighters arrived.
American support for Israel is plummeting — but remains largely steady among Republicans, a new poll revealed Monday. The drop is almost entirely to a precipitous decline in support for Israel among Democrats. The New York Times/Sienna poll was reported under the headline, “Americans’ Support for Israel Dramatically Declines, Times/Siena Poll Finds.” However, the real news was buried, paragraphs later:
Much of the shift in views on Israel has been driven by a sharp decline in support by Democratic voters. Republicans largely continue to support Israel, though there has been a modest decline.
Three members of the Senate Democratic caucus broke with Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) on Tuesday and voted for a House Republican-drafted bill to fund the government through Nov. 21, revealing divisions among Democrats about how aggressively to confront the Trump administration.
Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (Nev.), a member of the Senate Democratic leadership team, joined Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) and Sen. Angus King (Maine), an independent who caucuses with Democrats, in voting for the GOP funding proposal.
Over the past year, the average residential price for electricity in New Jersey has increased from 20.7 cents per kilowatt hour to 25.3 cents per kilowatt hour, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. In August, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities approved a $100 credit ($50 in September and $50 in October) to provide a little relief to New Jersey ratepayers. “This should be helpful for people, but in no way solves the problem. I hope this helps some people get over the hump. This is a very difficult time,” Commissioner Zenon Christodoulou said after the bill credit announcement.
Google has entered the chat.
Long a primary offender when it comes to free speech and censorship, the Big Tech giant made what could go down as one of the most consequential 180’s in modern history last week. In a letter sent to House Judiciary Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Google admitted to its ugly past of viewpoint-based censorship on its flagship brand, YouTube. The company’s mea culpa blames a host of cancellations on sustained pressure from the Biden administration, which it now denounces as “unacceptable and wrong.”
Following the example set by Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg just before President Trump was sworn back into office earlier this year,
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

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,

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,
The Department of Justice has opened an investigation into Des Moines Public Schools in the wake of immigration enforcement agents’ arrest last week of the district’s superintendent, Ian Roberts.
DOJ says investigators will be looking into whether Iowa’s largest public school system is employing discriminatory DEI initiatives in its hiring practices.
In a letter sent Tuesday to interim Superintendent Matthew Smith, Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon wrote that the probe is based on information that Des Moines Public Schools “may be engaged in employment practices that discriminate against employees, job applicants, and training program participants based on race, color, and national origin in violation of Title VII.” In other words, woke
Speaker Mike Johnson wasn’t going to let CNN’s Kaitlan Collins lie about the Schumer shutdown. This interview took place hours before it became official, but the government is currently shut down. At 12:01 am, the Democrats decided to shut everything down for the sake of funding for illegal alien health care, refunding National Public Radio, and gutting the rural healthcare fund, which Republicans replenished after Democrats complained. We’re dealing with the Tylenol kids of Congress right now, led by Chuck Schumer, who is hated by his own base, and Hakeem Jeffries, the Dollar Store Obama.
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
You Call This A Shutdown?

Once again, we are being treated to a fusillade of stories about the horrors of a government shutdown. But we invite readers to consider this: Roughly two-thirds of government spending will continue despite the “shutdown.”
In other words, there is absolutely no reason for Republicans to cave on Democratic demands that Medicaid benefits for illegals and Obamacare subsidies for higher-income families be restored.
The longer the federal government remains shut down, the more people will realize how meaningless it is, and the less leverage Democrats will have.
Congressional Republicans and Democrats have failed to reach an agreement to avert a government shutdown before a midnight deadline, resulting in the first government funding lapse of President Trump’s second term.
A shutdown seemed increasingly likely as the deadline approached, with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D., N.Y.) leaving a closed-door meeting between Trump and top congressional leaders on Monday afternoon saying “significant and meaningful differences” remained. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) argued that the Republican bill to fund the government “has not one iota of Democratic input.”
