NY leaders desperately try to stop billionaire
bigs from fleeing city over Mamdani
Posted By: Mercedes44, 5/8/2026 6:22:12 AM
Don’t break up because of that Mam! New York leaders are desperately trying to stop billionaire bigwigs from hightailing out of the Big Apple with their cash, businesses and thousands of jobs — as fears mount that Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s policies will accelerate the Empire State’s nation-leading loss of wealth. The splashy one-two punch of Citadel CEO Ken Griffin and Apollo Global Management honcho Marc Rowan pledging to expand outside New York City has been coupled with a silent wave of businesses “quiet quitting” the city over its hostile environment, insiders told The Post.

The State Bar of Arizona (SBA) is disbarring another conservative attorney, Vlad Gagic, after he loudly objected on social media to the prosecution of one of his clients, whom he believed was innocent. Gagic told me he acted as a whistleblower, exposing systemic corruption, prosecutorial misconduct, judicial bias and political retaliation.
The situation arose while Gagic was defending his former client, Jamaal Pennington, a young black man who Gagic became convinced was wrongly accused of sex trafficking and pimping. Gagic told me he uncovered and documented massive misconduct by the prosecution. When Pennington’s accuser, the key witness against him, recanted her story and said she had identified the wrong man,
In 2008 Joe Biden was Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, with oversight jurisdiction of the U.S State Dept., and by extension all foreign policy nominations etc.
In 2008 John Brennan was working for the Obama campaign when someone from his outside government group, The Analysis Corporation, “hacked” into the state dept database to access the passport files and State Dept records of Barack Obama.

Kill the Filibuster—or Make Them Talk

Five words: Power unused is power surrendered.
That’s the reality Senate Republicans now face.
With a narrow majority and a nation increasingly concerned about election integrity, Republicans face a choice: act decisively or allow procedural relics to dictate policy outcomes. At the heart of this dilemma is the filibuster — not a constitutional safeguard, not a sacred institution, but a Senate rule that has evolved into a minority veto.
And in its current form, it’s not even honest. Today’s filibuster is a shadow of its former self. Senators no longer need to stand on the floor, speak for hours, or defend their obstruction before the American people.
New revelations emerging from Israeli security investigations have shattered any illusion that Turkey's relationship with Hamas is limited to "political support" or "diplomatic engagement." The evidence increasingly points to a situation far more alarming: Turkey has become a primary operational, logistical, and financial hub for Hamas's global terror infrastructure.
Countries that enable terrorism cannot at the same time be treated as indispensable partners in the fight against terrorism.
By allowing Hamas members to develop drone capabilities on Turkish soil, Ankara is deliberately grooming terrorists for future wars against Israel.
Bexar County Court-at-Law No. 13 Judge Rosie Speedlin-Gonzalez, the self-proclaimed “first openly LGBT judge” in the county, has been forced to resign in disgrace and accept a permanent, lifetime disqualification from ever holding judicial office in the State of Texas again.
According to the Texas State Commission on Judicial Conduct, Speedlin-Gonzalez signed off on the deal on April 20, 2026, quietly slinking off the bench effective immediately.
In exchange, prosecutors dropped felony unlawful restraint and misdemeanor official oppression charges against her.

President Trump is traveling to Beijing, China this week on May 14th and 15th. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent left the U.S. earlier today for advance discussion with Chinese intermediaries.
National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett appears on Fox News to discuss the current status of the economy and the strong internal investment that is now frontloading a manufacturing surge. As noted by Hassett one of the reasons the first quarter GDP was lower than expected was the amount of capital equipment imported to start a resurgence of the U.S. manufacturing base.
We are owed an expansive apology. That however would require sincere admission on the part of the aggressors that they did us wrong.
A vigorous scan through the legacy news from this past two weeks has not turned that up. Indeed, the parties at fault have circled the wagons instead of confronting the problem. They are attempting to make it out that the Department of Justice at the behest of President Trump is executing a campaign of persecution against a “storied civil rights organization,” as CNN on Facebook described Southern Poverty Law Center.
President Trump on Sunday appeared to reject Iran’s latest proposal in ongoing negotiations over a peace deal, calling the Islamic republic’s offer “totally unacceptable.”
“I have just read the response from Iran’s so-called ‘Representatives.’ I don’t like it — TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
The president also warned the country against “playing games” after Tehran refused to discuss its nuclear program in its latest response to America’s peace proposal through Pakistani mediators.
Trump slammed the rogue Mideast country for delaying negotiations historically, ranting on the social platform.
As President Donald Trump's second term produces immigration policies, deportations and cultural shifts toward a more concentrated citizen population, red states are passing their own legislation and running candidates focused on thwarting Islamic community developments and reducing their influence.
"This is a major offensive in North Texas right now that I don't understand, but we are pushing back hard. We've got several organizations that are helping us. The governor is doing his part now, so I'm pretty optimistic that people are waking up to the dangers of Sharia in North Texas," Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas, told Just The News.
Europe is wealthier than Russia, its population is larger, and it is more technologically advanced. Yet European leaders increasingly fear the possibility that they might have to defend their borders against Russia without the guarantee of support from the United States.
President Trump dating back to his first term has threatened to pull U.S. military support for European countries as part of their North Atlantic Treaty Organization alliance that was established in 1949 in the aftermath of WWII.

Stripped of Gerrymandered Districts, Justice

On Friday, Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall petitioned the United States Supreme Court to restore its 2023 congressional maps. As RedState reported, these maps have been restricted from use when a U.S. District Court ruled they were in violation of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.
Also on Friday, the Alabama legislature passed two bills which would restore those 2023 maps, and position themselves for a special election using the congressional maps and not the current racially-gerrymandered map.
However, they cannot pull the trigger until these legal wranglings have been worked out. So,

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and his wife, "Fox & Friends" co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy, fired back on Friday after former Sec. Pete Buttigieg and his husband launched a barrage of attacks against the Duffys' upcoming "Great American Road Trip" reality TV series. The feud ignited Friday after the couple announced the new show on "Fox & Friends." Chasten Glezman Buttigieg quickly took to X to bash the project, accusing the Duffys of taking a "multi-month, taxpayer-funded family road trip" while gas and grocery prices soar due to "Trump's war of choice."
He went on to call the couple "unfocused, unserious, and out of touch," and aired old grievances about the Duffys' past
Something big is on the horizon — and the people saying so aren't fringe voices on a podcast. They're senior Trump administration officials.
Monica Crowley, the U.S. government's chief of protocol, dropped a significant claim on Wednesday: hard evidence that Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election is coming, and it's coming soon. "He did win in a landslide, and we will soon be able to give evidence about that," Crowley said.
Now, she didn't lay out a timeline or spell out exactly what the evidence would look like, but the message was clear.
North Korea has updated its constitution to require a retaliatory nuclear strike if leader Kim Jong Un is assassinated, according to a report. The Telegraph reported the change comes amid heightened global tensions following the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and other officials during a recent conflict.
Khamenei was killed in an Israeli strike in Tehran as part of a coordinated U.S.-Israeli military operation earlier this year, Fox News Digital previously reported.
The constitutional revision was approved during a session of North Korea’s Supreme People’s Assembly, which opened March 22 in Pyongyang, the outlet said. South Korea's National Intelligence Service (NIS) briefed senior government officials this week on the update,
The Spine of Justice Roberts

I do not like Chief Justice John Roberts. I think his loyalties lie more with defending the entrenched powers of the political Establishment than with defending the Constitution of the United States. I find his jurisprudence squishy. Although his decisions could be described as advancing, more often than not, conservative viewpoints, Roberts does not seem to have a consistent philosophy guiding his opinions.
The Party's Over

The Democrat party is facing such a host of seemingly intractable problems -- structural, financial, legal, and ideological -- that it will be close to a miracle if it survives after this year’s midterms. The below deck shuffles -- encouraging illegal alien votes, manipulating the census, making crooked voting almost impossible to check, and stuffing their pockets with illegal contributions through ACT Blue and pay-to-play schemes of USAID and NGOs -- are all suddenly being exposed and blocked.
Empty Pockets
Jeff Childers has done a thorough job explaining the party’s terminal crisis. Being short of funds is a good start.
BOSTON — A bill quietly moving through the Massachusetts Senate — and one Gov. Maura Healey signature away from law if it clears the House — would mean a 20-year-old who deals fentanyl, sticks up a convenience store at gunpoint, or sexually assaults a child gets juvenile court. Sealed record. Out by his 21st birthday.
Department of Youth Services rather than state prison. Out of the system at 21 — for any case that lands in juvenile court.
The bill is S.1061, "An Act to promote public safety and better outcomes for youths,"

SCOTUS, misspells 'Virgnia' and 'Sentator'

Democrats in Virginia, after their map to make the state 10-to-1 in favor of Democrats was struck down by the Virginia Supreme Court, have filed a motion to bring the decision before the Supreme Court of the United States. In the filing, the lawmakers misspelled Virginia as "Virgnia" and Senator as "Sentator."
The document, filed on Friday, listed those appealing the decision as "DON SCOTT, in his official capacity as Speaker of the Virgnia House of Delegates, et al," misspelling Virginia in the document. When listing the Appellees, the document stated, "RYAN T. MCDOUGLE, Virginia State Sentator and Legislative Commissioner for the Virginia Redistricting Commission, et al," misspelling Senator

As night follows day, progressives’ response to the Virginia Supreme Court’s tossing of Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s outrageous gerrymander is to demand an instant court-packing move to undo it.
To lefties driving today’s Democratic Party, it’s not “democracy” unless it’s hard-wired to let them run roughshod — and when their power-grab schemes run afoul of the rule of law, their only answer is a fresh scheme.
Specifically, progs want to ram through a law instantly dropping the retirement age for the Virginia court to 54, which would allow the legislature to replace enough justices to restore the gerrymander.
Spanberger’s already caved to the left in pushing an outrage she’d promised to oppose; will she
Democrats, who are openly talking about packing the United States Supreme Court to basically rewrite the Constitution of the United States, are so panicked by their failure to illegally redraw the Congressional map in Virginia that they are, according to The New York Times, contemplating a move to remove the current Supreme Court justices in Virginia with a new, less legally-minded group appointed by Abigail Spanberger. (Snip) This is not some fever dream cooked up by Alex Jones. The New York Times actually reported that Hakeem Jeffries and company held a panicked phone call discussing measures to override the Virginia
The hantavirus-stricken HV Hondius anchored in Spain Sunday morning after the outbreak on the ship left three travelers dead and sparked global concern over a possible wider spread of the rodent-borne illness.
The plagued Dutch cruise ship reached Tenerife – the Canary Islands’ largest island – around 6:30 a.m local time as more than 140 passengers and crew started to disembark from the vessel.
“All the passengers remain asymptomatic,” Spain’s Health Minister Monica Garcia said during a Sunday morning news conference. “The entire operation is proceeding normally.”

Another interview, and no one asks former President Obama anything. It’s embarrassing, but that’s what you get when you only sit down with people in the tank for you.
Enter Stephen Colbert, who is now the latest to join the “kiss Obama’s butt” effort. At one point, the former President said this:
I’m worried about the Republican Party, not just the Democrat Party. When I was president, people would ask me, ‘What change would you like to see in Washington?’ I’d say, I’d love a loyal opposition. I’d love a Republican Party that was conservative in some ways, that didn’t agree with me on a whole bunch of stuff,
