Trump Played Mamdani Like a Fiddle

Oh, I know: The PJ Media audience wanted to see President Donald Trump take a blowtorch to Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani, holding him accountable for his Marxist rhetoric, welcoming him to the D.C. Big Leagues with some Trumpian chin music. It’s not your fault. Earlier Oval Office onslaughts whetted your appetite: “Trump’s tangle with Zelensky was pretty good. So [gets popcorn] this Mamdani mele oughta be a doozy. Beer me!” And now you’re disappointed — or maybe, deep in your heart, even a little embarrassed — by the total lack of Mamdanian mayhem. You were expecting World War III and received a bouquet of flowers! Worst pay-per-view ever!

During the meeting, I'm sure that the President used a very effective passive aggressive yet pleasant behavior to advise Mamdie to never cross The Donald. Not now, not tomorrow, not next week, not ever.

I couldn’t agree more. Mamdani got schooled in reality. All he could do was grin. He’s just a little twerp going up against the big boys. Reality sucks!

I wonder if Comdani received President Trump's very special and not given to everybody....."The Macron-Grip Handshake"... the handshake worth a 1000 words.

My initial reaction was one of disappointment; I wanted the Prez to take Madmani apart. Then I thought “he’s doing this on purpose - what’s he got up his sleeve?” I think when the little Commie starts destroying New York and starts demanding federal money, Trump will say “well, you know, I warned him about this…. We can’t help. It’s too bad he didn’t listen.” Or words to that effect. Little “Z” doesn't realize that Trump has been playing this game since before he was born.

Still don't understand the panic over Mad Dummy being mayor. They survived having De Blasio as mayor all those years and there is little difference, except Mad Dummy is probably less corrupt.

Trump knows how to be gracious. It is not necessarily reflected in his actions. Trump is probably waiting to see what Mamdani will do next and react accordingly. Doubt Mamdani is fooling anyone.

But the BEST part was when a reporter asked the little commie mayor, if he is now the head of the dem party, and PRESIDENT Trump, told him, of course he is. I laughed, because it's now official, that the democrat party is really the commie democrat party. There is NOTHING American about the democrats. absolutely nothing!

When a Fox News reporter put Mandami on the spot by asking whether he had previously called President Trump a "fascist," Trump amusingly threw him a lifeline: "It's OK, you can say 'yes' . . .".

Tatiana Schlossberg, the granddaughter of JFK, has less than a year to live after being diagnosed with terminal leukemia, she announced Saturday. “Maybe my brain is replaying my life now because I have a terminal diagnosis, and all these memories will be lost,” she writes in a searing article about her condition in the New Yorker. Schlossberg, 35, whose parents are Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg, has acute myeloid leukemia with a rare mutation. She described how her doctors discovered the cancer – just a few hours after she gave birth to her second child in 2024.

Community activists in Charlotte, N.C. are ramping up their efforts to counter federal immigration enforcement, turning church basements into training grounds where volunteers literally role-play as illegal immigrants. Dilworth United Methodist Church overflowed Monday night as Siembra N.C. hosted an “ICE and Border Patrol Watch” session, WBTV reported. Trainers walked attendees through step-by-step exercises on how to track federal agents, film detainment encounters, and alert neighborhoods when immigration officers appear in the area. Volunteers acted out mock arrest scenarios while trainees practiced recording the encounters, shouting scripted warnings, and instructing “detainees” on what to say when approached by law enforcement.

The U.S. Postal Service announced that it will increase prices for most shipping services beginning January 18, 2026, pending regulatory approval, as the self-funded agency works to narrow persistent financial losses. The changes, already approved by the USPS Board of Governors, would raise Priority Mail rates by about 6.6%, Priority Mail Express by 5.1%, USPS Ground Advantage by 7.8%, and Parcel Select by 6%. Prices for mailing services, including the cost of a First-Class stamp, will remain unchanged in January. The move follows the release of fiscal 2025 results showing a $9 billion net loss, slightly better than the $9.5 billion the prior year. Operating revenue rose 1.2% to $80.5 billion,

A liberal columnist complained Thursday about hearing the American national anthem in Washington, D.C., the nation’s capital. Jamie Stiehm, who has contributed to several corporate media outlets, including The New York Times and The Washington Post, wrote for The Capital Times on Thursday that though the “Star-Spangled Banner” might be appropriate for “ballparks and stadiums,” it is “dissonant” to play before a classical music concert in today’s political climate. Stiehm said that classical music transcends international boundaries, but the national anthem pulls the arts back into the orbit of President Donald Trump’s influence.

A report from FOX News Digital shows pro-gun control Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) spent about $360,000 for security between January and September of 2025. According to the report, the firm Warnock used–Executive Protection Agencies, LLC–provides various levels of security, including armed security for “political figures.” Looking back beyond the past nine months, FOX News Digital discovered that “Warnock’s campaign has spent over $2.7 million on private security dating back to Dec. 2020.” On February 15, 2022, AXIOS released figures showing how much Congressional members spent on personal security in 2021.

Are you tired of winning yet? I'm not. In the latest win, we learned on Friday that Swiss pharmaceutical giant Novartis will be investing millions to open a manufacturing plant in North Carolina. The intent is to produce Novartis pharmaceuticals in the United States, from start to finish. This is a big deal by any measure. Pharmaceutical giant Novartis said it will create a flagship manufacturing hub in North Carolina in an effort to produce all of its medicines from start to finish in the United States. Total investment is expected to be $771 million, according to a news release from Gov. Josh Stein. The Switzerland-based company’s plans for

Former President Barack Obama is embracing his role as mentor-in-chief, huddling with nearly three dozen freshman House Democrats at the Capitol Hill home of Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) at a Wednesday night event hosted by former Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The event — moderated by Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-Ariz.) — saw Obama buck up Democrats and offer insights on surviving Republican majorities. “I get feeling discouraged sometimes,” Obama told the room over soda, water, crackers and crudite, according to excerpts provided by his office to POLITICO. “I get feeling worn out, tired, and embattled.

I’d be willing to bet that you probably know a few leftists who insist with a straight face they’re independents. I’ve met so many over the years that I can’t keep track. The same charade plays out in Congress, where Democrats get tagged as “moderates” even though their voting records tell a different story. Jon Tester built his whole career on that act, winning in a deep-red state back in 2006 and coasting through two more terms while backing the left every chance he got, right up until voters finally tossed him out in 2024. But, I digress. A similar situation is happening in the red state of Nebraska,

A prominent Muslim advocacy organization is taking Texas to court, arguing that Gov. Greg Abbott's decision to brand it a "foreign terrorist organization" tramples both the U.S. Constitution and state law. The Council on American-Islamic Relations’ (CAIR) Dallas-Fort Worth and Austin chapters filed a federal lawsuit Thursday seeking to overturn Abbott’s proclamation issued earlier in the week. "This attempt to punish the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization simply because Governor Abbott disagrees with its views is not only contrary to the United States Constitution, but finds no support in any Texas law," the group said in its lawsuit.

The Department of Justice subpoenaed the personal phone records of House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan in 2022, seeking the Ohio Republican's phone data covering a more than two-year period. The subpoena, obtained by Fox News Digital, shows a federal prosecutor who later worked on special counsel Jack Smith's Jan. 6 investigation ordered Verizon to hand over the phone data, also known as toll records, reaching back to Jan. 1, 2020. The request appears to be the most expansive yet of the publicly known subpoenas targeting senators and current and former House members during Arctic Frost, the investigation that led to Smith bringing election-related charges against President Donald Trump.

When can you not call an invasion an invasion? When it’s politically incorrect, of course. But numbers are numbers. And the numbers are in after Immigration and Customs Enforcement began conducting operations in Charlotte, North Carolina: Tens of thousands of students were missing from Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools on Monday, the first day of Border Patrol’s deployment there. This amounted to over half of students in several schools, especially where the majority of students were Hispanic. According to WFAE-FM, the city’s school authorities issued a final number of 30,399, 10,000 absences more than it had initially calculated. The data variances, school officials said, were common and a result of either including Pre-K students or

ABC News might soon find itself staring down another expensive defamation lawsuit from President Trump, and honestly, it wouldn't come as a shock. On a recent episode of The View, Joy Behar confidently claimed that it was "obvious" Trump was a pedophile connected with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, implicating him in Epstein’s crimes. This wild accusation came without a shred of evidence tying Trump to Epstein’s criminal activities. In fact, Trump is arguably one of the few prominent figures who did the right thing and severed ties with Epstein years ago, unlike many Democrats who have since been ensnared in the fallout. Despite the Democrats’ best efforts, the recent dump

Few stories grabbed national attention quite like the Cracker Barrel rebrand did this year. Even amid endless high-profile developments in Washington, the Cracker Barrel rebrand stood out as offensive to Americans everywhere. Like Bud Light's partnership with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney, Cracker Barrel's new look felt like an attack on an American institution from an out-of-touch C-suite that bought into the leftist idea of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. The backlash was so severe that the company publicly slammed the brakes on their modern makeover and promised Americans they weren't changing a thing.

The president indicated that Greene (R-Ga.) did not share her plans with him ahead of her social media post announcing her intention to leave office on Jan. 5, 2026, and said he had no plans to speak with her. “Nah, it doesn’t matter, you know? But I think it’s great,” Trump said. “I think she should be happy.”

House Democratic leaders, including Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, contacted the U.S. Capitol Police and the House sergeant-at-arms to request protection for four representatives who appeared in a video message encouraging military troops to defy orders from their superiors that they deem illegal. Reps. Chris Deluzio (PA-17), Chrissy Houlahan (PA-6), Maggie Goodlander (NH-2), and Jason Crow (CO-6), along with Sens. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ), tried agitating some troops and intelligence officials into potentially illegal actions of their own by defying orders they personally interpret as unlawful. It was a startling effort. The message was clear. They laid it out quite clearly, referencing "this administration" and how it

Greene, in a more than 10-minute video posted online, explained her decision and said she’s “always been despised in Washington, D.C., and just never fit in.” Greene’s resignation followed a public fallout with Trump in recent months, as the congresswoman criticized him for his stance on files related to Jeffrey Epstein, along with foreign policy and health care.

Trump, who sought to kneecap Mamdani during the campaign, was exceedingly complimentary of the self-described democratic socialist, while Mamdani repeatedly talked up his hope that he and the president could work together to lower costs for New Yorkers. “I met with a man who’s a very rational person,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office following the private
