Hey. Remember that chirpy video the commie mayor of New York City dropped on Tax Day this year? Well, he got what he wanted on those ritzy second homes for the folks who can afford them. Again, these have already had both humongous real estate taxes paid when they bought them, not to mention (what any sane person would consider) the crippling annual city and state property taxes commensurate with places of stratospheric value.
That wasn't enough for the commie the city elected, though. And after the mayor personally targeted Citadel founder Ken Griffin's place as Example Number One of the rapacious filthy rich

There was a time, back when I was young and virile, and the girls flocked to be seen with me, when the DSA went to great lengths to distinguish themselves from and even keep out the communists.
Their vision was more akin to implementing 1970s Nordic social democracy, with a mixed economy, a generous-to-a-fault welfare state, and strict limits on income inequality. It was a very flawed vision, but it was distinguishable from communism. "The DSA’s posture toward terrorism, which ranged from equivocation to outright support, drove away many of the organization’s remaining advocates of liberal democracy.
Two dozen prominent old-line members announced their resignation the next month,

The FBI had a mole inside Gov. Gavin Newsom’s political orbit before the agency’s corruption probe expanded into the governor and his wife, The Post has learned.
Democrat insider Alexis Podesta, 45, secretly recorded conversations during the criminal probe into Newsom’s then-chief of staff, Dana Williamson, 53, who pleaded guilty to federal fraud and tax charges in May, according to Williamson’s attorney. The revelation she was wearing a wire as far back as June 2024 explains why a swath of Sacramento political insiders and lobbyists were stunned to receive FBI letters last fall informing them that their phone calls had been intercepted during the investigation

The New York City Council approved a new budget on Tuesday that allocates almost $7 million for “trans equity” programs and doesn’t include any spending for the additional police officers Mayor Zohran Mamdani promised to hire.
Mamdani previously pledged to hire 580 new cops, but the money for the new positions was noticeably absent from the city’s most recent $126 billion spending plan.
“Why isn’t there more money for police?” state Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar said in reaction to the budget.

Something is brewing inside the Democrat Party, and this time, Donald Trump has nothing to do with it. Behind closed doors, the establishment wing of the party is squaring off against a coup led by self-declared socialists, and the fight over who controls the party's future is only getting started.
Fox News host Jesse Watters laid out exactly how this ends on The Five, and it should terrify anyone still clinging to the idea that the Democrat Party can hold itself together heading into the next presidential race.
Asked by co-host Emily Compagno whether the country is actually being taken over, Watters didn't offer easy reassurance.

We've written extensively about the growing panic among establishment Democrats about the wave of recent wins from "Democratic" Socialists of America (DSA) party candidates in states like New York, where two Mamdani-backed candidates won their House primaries last Tuesday, with one defeating an incumbent.
And as we also reported, another DSA member, Bernie Sanders-endorsed Melat Kiros, won her primary race in Colorado's 1st Congressional District (CD1) Tuesday night, beating 30-year incumbent Diana DeGette in a district drawn for Democrat victories, and that hasn't had Republican representation since 1973.
But there was another Colorado congressional Democrat primary that flew under the radar a bit nationally,

In 1948, 11 minutes after Israel declared itself an independent state, the United States recognized it when Democratic President Harry Truman issued an executive order to grant de facto U.S. recognition to Israel. From that time forward, Democrats were the strongest supporters of Israel in Congress.
Until now. The recent victories of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) in New York and Colorado have called into question the party's commitment to supporting the existence of the Jewish state.
The 2024 Democratic Party platform stated that party leaders “believe a strong, secure, and democratic Israel is vital to the interests of the United States” and that the party’s “commitment to Israel’s security

It is both amazing and sad how the United States Supreme Court decision on birthright citizenship has taken up all of the oxygen in the news cycle and in the minds of many Americans. This has overshadowed some of the other equally important decisions, like the one in Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J., holding that states may reserve girls' and women's sports teams for biological females without violating Title IX or the Constitution.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote in the majority opinion:
The Court concludes that separate sports teams for biological males and biological females are reasonable given the inherent physical differences between the sexes.

A pro-Palestinian protester was sentenced to one year in county jail and two years of probation on Tuesday after pleading guilty to involuntary manslaughter and battery in the death of a Jewish man who he attacked at a California rally.
Loay Abdelfattah Alnaji, a professor at the local Moorpark College, struck 69-year-old Paul Kessler in the head with his megaphone at dueling pro-Israel and pro-Hamas demonstrations in November of 2023, weeks after the October 7 attack. Kessler then fell backwards and struck his head on the ground, and died the next day. The district attorney’s office for Ventura County objected to Alnaji’s sentence,

After two Mamdani-backed, card-carrying members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) political party won their respective House primaries last Tuesday in New York, all eyes turned to Colorado's 1st Congressional District Democrat primary, which featured longtime incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette facing off against DSA member Melat Kiros.
The primary was Tuesday night, and, with 78 percent reporting as of this writing, Decision Desk HQ has called it for Kiros in what may be the biggest primary upset for an incumbent Democrat House member this midterm election cycle. DeGette, 68, is Colorado's longest-serving member of Congress, having been in office since 1997 in a district drawn for Democrat victories.

Insurgent socialist candidate Melat Kiros defeated longtime Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.) Tuesday in Colorado’s 1st District House primary, marking the latest blow to the establishment wing of the Democratic Party.
Kiros came out on top of the incumbent, 49.3% to 43.5%, by the time the Associated Press called the race late Tuesday.
Kiros’s win in the solidly blue district follows a string of victories by socialist and far-left candidates over incumbent and establishment-backed Democrats in New York in June, and it’s expected to tilt the political makeup of the House Democratic caucus even further to the left after the midterm elections.
