One doesn’t need to be the Oracle of Delphi to foretell the coming of the vile Zohran Mamdani as the next mayor of New York. It’s almost unbelievable. Mamdani’s father is Mahmood Mamdani, the Herbert Lehman Professor of Government and Professor of Anthropology and Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African Studies at — you may have heard — Columbia University. That is all too believable. Yesterday’s Wall Street Journal carried Tunku Varadarajan’s review of Professor Mamdani’s new book, the aptly titled Slow Poison. Varadarajan writes: Mahmood Mamdani has written a startling book. Startling, not because of the writing—which is often repetitive, tediously autobiographical and awash with anticolonial pieties—but because “Slow Poison”

The Irreplaceability of Politicians

AI is now able to convincingly simulate and in a growing number of cases replace movie actors.The fakes look just like the real thing. ”There's a new celebrity in Hollywood and her name is Tilly Norwood. Tilly is already causing major controversy because she is AI-generated. Tilly is the creation of a Dutch comedian who says 'multiple talent agents have shown interest in signing the AI actress.' AI protection was a key sticking point during the writer and actor strikes in 2023. They were wary of replacement. Now, their fears seem to be coming true.”
At the low end, AI is already well on the way to replacing

New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is an avowed Jew-hater who has repeatedly demonstrated over the last decade his hatred for Israel; his support for Hamas; and even his support for a “global intifada,” which, by extension, includes the destruction of the United States as we know it. And yet, according to recent polls, 43% of New York Jews are supporting him, including 67% of Jewish voters between the ages of 18 and 44.
This is analogous to black voters voting for former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke (who ran for president in 1992). How is it even possible for these Jewish New Yorkers to be supporting
What's up with California's impeccably coiffed Governor Gavin "A Little Dab'll Do Ya" Newsom? He seems determined to keep allowing men and boys to play on women's and girls' competitive sports teams, despite all the evidence from biology and reality as to how unfair that is. Governor Newsom himself admitted it was unfair. And yet, caught between the Scylla of the "gender ideology" nuts and the Charybdis of the "Resist Trump at all costs" left, he keeps looking for ways to allow the cheaters to keep cheating.
His latest effort is the formation of a "Sports Equity Commission", following the left's pattern of taking any ridiculous idea and
A federal grand jury in Maryland has reportedly indicted former national security adviser John Bolton.
Two sources told CNN that Bolton is being indicted for allegedly sharing classified information with his wife and daughter over email.
Sources previously told CNN that part of the Justice Department’s investigation centers around notes he was making to himself in an AOL email account — at times writing summaries of his activities like diary entries — when he was working for Trump.
FBI agents executed a search warrant on Bolton’s Maryland home and Washington, DC, office this summer. The agents seized multiple documents labeled “secret,” “confidential,” and “classified,” including some about weapons of mass destruction,

Handled Things Better,’ Regrets Mistreating
Reporter, Staffer 24 replies
Former Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA), the potential frontrunner for California governor, now regrets mistreating a reporter and a staffer, admitting she “could have handled things better.”
Last week, Politico obtained a video of Porter cursing at a staffer while taping a meeting with the Biden administration.
“Get out of my f****** shot!” Porter yelled at the staffer in the video.
When the staffer issued her correction regarding a policy detail, Porter responded, “Okay. You also were in my shot before that. Stay out of my shot.”
The unearthed footage came just days after a video went viral that showed Porter threatening to exit an interview with a California CBS News affiliate.
Before I get to the good stuff, I feel that I need to remind you that yesterday, President Donald Trump announced that the United States had blown up yet another narco-boat out of Venezuela. The kinetic strike took place in International Waters, according to the president, and killed six narco-terrorists on board. Intelligence confirmed the boat was carrying illegal narcotics. (Snip) Sens. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Tim Kaine (D-Va.) probably held some sort of vigil for their fallen cartel brothers. While every single one of these blows sends a message to the cartels spread throughout Latin America, these, in particular, are aimed at Nicolás Maduro,
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Charlie Crist is mulling a potential run for St. Petersburg mayor, the former Florida governor and congressman confirmed on Wednesday.
Crist said he is “strongly considering” entering the race for mayor, a position which is currently held by Ken Welch.
Tampa Bay airports will not show Noem video blaming Democrats for shutdown
The move would mark a return to politics for Crist, who resigned from his congressional seat and ran for Florida governor in 2022, losing to incumbent Gov. Ron DeSantis by 19 points. The next year, the Biden administration nominated him to the position of U.S. ambassador to the International Civil Aviation Organization,
The Absurdity of #NOKINGS
7 replies
I absolutely, positively understand why liberals dislike Donald Trump's policies. He is, after all, reversing so many of the policies they love, and they have every right to object to them.
But seriously, folks, get a grip. Donald Trump is not trying to be a king, and your biggest complaint is that he is actually enforcing immigration laws passed by Congress, which your preferred president did everything to subvert. The great martyr to freedom most celebrated by liberals in the media is a wife-beating human trafficker who may, or may not, be deported after a long, drawn-out legal process. Sure, there are clashes in the streets between ICE officers
From the tunnels

Have you heard the news that Hamas has emerged from the tunnels and gone on a murder spree since the ceasefire took effect? Having withdrawn to the agreed perimeter, the IDF is not on hand to engage with Hamas. Instead, Hamas has donned its uniforms and seized on the opportunity to focus on those it deems its domestic opponents. The gentlemen on their knees below were not accorded much in the way of due process before their execution. (X) As the New York Post reports in the editorial to which John links in the adjacent post: “For now, the terror group is busy publicly executing rivals and wiping out clans
Karl Rove Is Wrong, Again

Having left Politico beaten and bloodied on the canvas, let me now turn my attention to The Hill.
The Hill is an equally left-wing MSM organ, if slightly better written and reported. In yesterday’s paper, The Hill eagerly declared: (Snip) The subtext of their article is obvious – The Hill is telling its fellow Democrats to be in good cheer because GOP strategist Karl Rove is on their side on this issue, and warning Republicans that they should cave on this issue immediately, before it is too late.
Now, a lot depends on what one thinks of Karl Rove, the political strategist behind President George W. Bush’s political career. President Trump
Moses, smell the roses: Did you see the joyous, adoring throngs of Israelis and Arabs, all cheering and praising the American president? Millions of people chanting his name!
Y’know, for a guy with Donald Trump’s ego, people worshiping him as a god in the Holy Land must’ve been pretty trippy.
But for a guy with Barack Obama’s ego, had he been in Trump’s shoes, he would’ve believed it.
That’s always been one of the fundamental differences between the two most historically significant presidents of this century: Sure, Donald Trump has an ego, but he’s also self-aware. His pride and self-confidence are 100% authentic, but he’s also a showman: Part of it is schtick.

It’s one thing to understand that Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was DEI nomination to the Supreme Court, and another thing entirely to listen to her own words as she proves it.
During oral arguments in ‘Louisiana v. Callais’, a case before the high court considering whether Louisiana’s congressional map (which includes two majority-black districts), where plaintiffs in the case argue the congressional map is unconstitutionally gerrymandered based on race; Justice KBJ compares black people to disabled people. The comparison for the argument she is trying to make is ridiculous. Listen:
Pentagon reporters turned in their badges after they refused to sign Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s new security rule.
“Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth demanded that reporters agree by 5 p.m. Tuesday to a new policy, under which they would need to pledge to not obtain or use any unauthorized material, even if the information is unclassified — or hand over their press badges in the next 24 hours,” The Hill reported on Tuesday.
By Wednesday afternoon, Pentagon reporters turned in their badges.CNN’s Brian Stelter hyperventilated over the development.
“Reporters have been showing up at the Pentagon today and handing in their press passes,” Brian Stelter said.
“This is an extraordinary moment,” he said.
In the swiftly degenerating world of western relationships one factor above all others can be identified as the culprit: Feminism. The driving force behind third-wave feminism is not the pursuit of equal rights it's the pursuit of power. Like any communist movement, unilateral power over society is the end goal. When power is the goal, such movements naturally attract narcissistic people. How can the nuclear family function when the female half of the equation is conditioned to become self serving, ego-maniacal, conflict oriented, status obsessed, victim obsessed and desperate for control? One particular trend has feminists enraged is "nose ring theory"
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is meeting in London to vote on new rules to cut “greenhouse gases” by imposing a first-ever global tax on shipping emissions.
The meeting of the U.N. agency ends Friday and is expected to finalize a “Net-Zero Framework (NZF)” where commercial ships would pay for emissions over a set limit as defined by the IMO, while vessels that meet tougher standards could trade or bank so-called “surplus units.”
The Trump administration unequivocally rejects the proposal and has threatened to retaliate if nations support it, setting the stage for a fight over the climate deal.
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, a billionaire, took home $1.4 million in winnings after playing blackjack at a casino in Las Vegas last year, according to a copy of his new tax filing.
Pritzker, who is seeking a third term in office and is on the 2028 short list, reported the earnings in his latest tax filing after he played the card game while on a vacation with his wife and some friends, a Pritzker spokesperson said Thursday.
The governor will be donating the money to charity, according to his campaign.

Is Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) going to retire? Townhall has been hearing whispers from some senior Democratic sources that the longtime New York Senator could be retiring from public life for numerous reasons, not least being that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) could make good on her move to primary him. Now, AOC venturing outside the state could be an early move to consolidate her national constituency for a 2028 presidential run, which she could do, but she has options. And this seat is gettable for her: Schumer is not well-liked among Democratic voters, and his fundraising has been abysmal.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi lashed out at a reporter who asked why the former House speaker “refused the National Guard” on Jan. 6, 2021, as she was being assisted out of the Capitol on Wednesday.
Pelosi (D-Calif.), who was clutching the arm of an aide as she gingerly navigated the steps of the Capitol, quickly spun around, pointed her finger at the LindellTV reporter’s face and appeared enraged at the suggestion that a new Republican-led committee investigating the riot might find her “liable.”
“Shut up!” Pelosi, 85, barked.
“I did not refuse the National Guard. The president didn’t send it. Why are you coming here with Republican talking points
Earlier today, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi unloaded on Lindell TV reporter Alison Steinberg today on the steps of the US Capitol after she was confronted on her deadly actions on January 6, 2021.
Lindell TV reporter Alison Steinberg asked Pelosi why she refused to call in the National Guard on January 6th and Pelosi started screaming – “SHUT UP!”
Alison Steinberg: “Congresswoman Pelosi, are you at all concerned that the January 6th Committee will find you liable for that? Are at all concerned about the January 6th Committee finding you liable for that day? Why did you refuse the National Guard on January 6th?
Sixty percent of young liberals say it is “acceptable to go beyond peaceful protest in response to immigration raids conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE),” according to a survey by Cygnal. 42 percent of liberals said it was acceptable to go beyond peaceful protest even if that meant breaking the law,” said a press statement from Virginia-based Cygnal, which added: “The number jumps to 60 percent of liberals under the age of 30. Liberals are shockingly okay with breaking the law to go against government action they don’t agree with, like ICE raids,” said Cygnal President and pollster, Brent Buchanan. He continued:
With the arrests and federal indictments of two California men announced on Thursday, we're now getting an idea of how California's billions of dollars to "end homelessness" vanished without a trace. Instead of helping to solve the problem of rampant tent encampments filled with addicts on the beaches and streets in California, things got worse. Where did all that money go? An audit in 2024 revealed that no one knew how the homeless money was spent. I wrote about this in "No Wonder Gavin Newsom Didn't Want an Audit to Track $24 Billion in Homeless Spending."

Yes, we trash can.
President Barack Obama’s austere new presidential library is getting roasted with comparisons to the Death Star, garbage bins and other domineering monoliths in a hilarious social media thread sparked by Sen. Ted Cruz.
“Locating the Death Star in Chicago was a bold move,” Cruz (R-TX) wrote on X Tuesday while reposting a video of the latest work on Obama’s Chicago presidential center.The facility, a slab of concrete and granite rising 225 feet above Chicago’s Jackson Park, has faced ridicule from critics since its design was first unveiled nearly 10 years ago — and the the peanut gallery poured on more jokes after Cruz’s post.
