Benny's having a celebration

Benny's on the Beach

"From its humble beginnings to a destination beloved by locals and visited by scores of celebrities, Benny's on the Beach in Lake Worth Beach is celebrating its 40th anniversary.

Not content with a single day, cake and candles, the wildly popular restaurant that pretty much defines "waterfront dining" is offering specials all month, complete with formerly retired menu items and pricing. On top of that, they've planned a three-day soirée, running Friday, July 24, Saturday, July 25 and Sunday, July 26, to ring in the milestone.

Situated on the William O. Lockhardt Pier with unparalleled ocean views, Benny's on the Beach started from pretty modest origins. Before officially becoming Benny's in 1986, the site served items like hot dogs and pizza, according to Historical Society of Lake Worth board member Judy Reed.

Whether you're the crustiest (in a good way) "L-Dub" local who's surfed or fished the pier your entire life or a jet-setting superstar, Benny's on the Beach is designed for everyone and has become one of the hottest destinations in South Florida.

Whether its the views or the Colada, Benny's on the Beach has become a magnet for celebs."

Three Summers Of Canadian Smoke

Trump Confronted Carney at the World Cup and Demanded Canada Pay For Poisoning American Air

Canadian wildfire smoke shut down Detroit's car plants for the third summer in a row.

Trump sat beside Carney at Sunday's World Cup final and brought the crisis up in person.

Nearly 850 wildfires were burning across Canada last week, with more than 180 raging in Ontario alone. The smoke drifted south and swallowed American cities whole. For a stretch last week, Detroit's air ranked dirtiest of any major city on the planet, with Chicago and the nation's capital not far behind.

Washington's own air quality index hit 212 – a level the government classifies as very unhealthy – while New York posted a reading of 134 the same morning. Air quality alerts hit more than 20 states, from the Upper Midwest to the Northeast.

New York City's skyline vanished behind an orange haze that turned Manhattan orange in broad daylight. Canada let its forests burn out of control again, and Washington was done pretending this was new.

Trump posted on Truth Social accusing Canada's government of refusing basic forest management, warning "this is Willful Negligence, and becoming a yearly occurrence." He said the pollution has cost America billions of dollars – and that bill belongs on Canada's tariffs, not on American taxpayers.

Homeless camps growing in NYC

12 blocks of Homeless encampments in Manhattan

A homeless encampment stretching roughly 12 blocks along Manhattan's West Side, from the Intrepid Museum to the Jacob Javits Center, continues to grow while Mayor Zohran Mamdani offers vague promises and the NYPD waits for permission to act.

The sprawl of tents, trash, and reported illegal activity sits in one of the most visible corridors in New York City, steps from tourist attractions and a major convention center, and it exists in large part because the mayor made dismantling such camps harder the moment he took office.

Mamdani campaigned on a promise to stop encampment sweeps. He kept that promise. Then, facing public pressure, he introduced a revised policy requiring seven days of outreach by city workers before any encampment can be cleared.

The result, on full display along 11th Avenue between West 34th and West 46th Streets, is a 12-block stretch of disorder that residents, workers, and visitors say has made the area unrecognizable.

The mayor told reporters the site "has been noticed and it will be cleared." But he declined to say when the seven-day clock actually starts, a detail that matters when the encampment keeps expanding.

"The NYPD has not been given the green light to clean this encampment up, but we are ready to do so." 

That single sentence captures the dysfunction. The officers are willing. The authority hasn't come. And so the camp grows while the mayor's outreach teams visit the site and, by Fox News Digital's account, primarily collect trash.

Mamdani is destroying NYC

Going uptown/downtown (north-south), 12 blocks is roughly 0.6 miles (20 blocks equal 1 mile).

Tate brothers arrested in Miami

Andrew and Tristan Tate Arrested by US Marshals in Miami as UK Seeks Extradition

Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate were arrested Saturday in Miami by U.S. Marshals, according to reports from the Associated Press and TMZ. The arrests mark another major turn in the long-running legal fight surrounding the brothers, who are dual British and U.S. citizens.

The brothers are wanted in the United Kingdom in connection with rape and human trafficking allegations. British prosecutors said Saturday night that they are seeking to extradite the pair after their arrest in the United States.

The Tates are former kickboxers and known for promoting hypermasculinity to their millions of followers.

The Crown Prosecution Service said, “The Crown Prosecution Service has decided to bring additional charges against brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate. Following their arrest, prosecutors will seek extradition in relation to the original charges and the further charges we have authorised.”

The Associated Press reported that a warrant connected to the case was sealed. That means many details about the legal basis for the arrest were not immediately public. TMZ also reported that law enforcement sources confirmed the arrests, though the specific charges tied to the Miami custody action were not known at the time of its report.

Former antiques store on Lake Avenue recently sold

Prominent Miami Beach real estate family just invested $2M in Lake Worth Beach

TWO BROTHERS FROM a prominent Miami Beach real estate family are trying to revive a shuttered building in the heart of downtown Lake Worth Beach.

They, until recently had never been to Lake Worth Beach, and paid $2.025 million in late April for the 7,500-square-foot building at 716 Lake Avenue across the street from the Lake Worth Playhouse.

Sunset 7-20-26

Olive Garden just made the voter-ID argument better than half the Republican Party.

To protect a $100 pasta pass, the chain requires one name, one passholder, and one valid photo ID. No ID, no fettuccine.

Yet in Democrat-run election systems, asking for the same basic verification to protect the presidency is treated like Jim Crow with marinara sauce. That is the absurdity.

Breadsticks get chain of custody. Ballots get excuses. A restaurant knows fraud prevention is common sense. Washington pretends it is oppression. [Luthmann]

Mamdani wants to arrest Netanyahu 🤡

Mamdani Can't Arrest Netanyahu. But He Is Targeting All Jews.

On Saturday, the mayor of New York said the prime minister of the Jewish state belongs in a jail cell. Zohran Mamdani told the New York Times that Benjamin Netanyahu "belongs in the Hague." 

He called him "a war criminal who has been charged by the International Criminal Court," and confirmed that his administration is working out whether it can arrest the Israeli leader when he comes to New York for the United Nations in September.

Netanyahu's office answered on Sunday. The ICC is "a kangaroo court that has no jurisdiction over Americans or Israelis," it said, and the warrant is "bogus."

A mayor cannot arrest a foreign head of government, and Mamdani knows it. He said so himself in the next breath, promising he "won't be writing our own laws." The warrant he wants to serve comes from a court his own party's president called outrageous, and it was written by a prosecutor the court is voting to remove this week. Of every leader on earth, he reached for the one who runs the world's only Jewish state.

The United States is not a member of the ICC. A mayor cannot arrest a prime minister.

Foreign leaders who come to New York for the United Nations are protected by the 1947 treaty that lets the U.N. operate on American soil. A sitting head of government carries immunity. And a city has no power to override the federal government on foreign affairs, which is why the whole idea falls apart the moment anyone reads the law.

Even his own party sees it. Fetterman called the threat a stunt: "He's just a clown 🤡 to even say that.

Blacking out the President's speech

NBC and ABC Blacked Out Trump’s Election Speech and Got a Threat Nobody Saw Coming

NBC and ABC blacked out President Trump's primetime election security address at nine o'clock Thursday night. NBC and ABC had already made their decision hours earlier. Both networks refused to air the speech on their broadcast channels.They chose regular entertainment programming over the President of the United States.

MS NOW, the network that employs former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki, carried the first fifteen minutes of the speech. Then it cut away right as Trump began describing the vulnerabilities in the voting system. CNN treated a national security briefing like a routine press conference.

Only Fox News carried the entire speech from start to finish. CBS at least tried, breaking into regular programming a few minutes late and cutting away before Trump finished. Even then, CBS surrounded the speech with fact-checking before and after, the kind of setup media critics call a "truth sandwich."

Translation: they couldn't let Americans hear the president without a lecture on both sides.

Networks spent a decade lecturing America about protecting democracy. Then they blacked out the president the moment his speech threatened their preferred narrative.

That's not journalism, that's a blackout ordered by people terrified of what the declassified documents actually show.

Mamdani's Rental Ripoff Report

NYC Mayor Mamdani faces backlash after speaker at news conference calls eviction a form of 'violence'

A speaker at a New York City news conference hosted by Mayor Zohran Mamdani declared that evictions constitute "violence", a claim that drew swift and pointed mockery from conservatives, political commentators, and elected officials who called the event a spectacle unworthy of the nation's largest city.

Antonia Marrero, a member of the Housing Organizers for People Empowerment (HOPE) Tenant Union, made the remarks Thursday while Mamdani stood behind her, visibly smiling. The moment, captured on video and circulated widely on X, became an instant flashpoint in the ongoing debate over the socialist mayor's aggressive housing agenda.

The news conference was staged to promote Mamdani's "Rental Ripoff Report," a 23-proposal policy document that the mayor's office says addresses everything from AI-altered rental listings to code enforcement modernization and formal recognition of tenant unions.

But the policy rollout was overshadowed almost immediately by Marrero's rhetoric, and by the mayor's grinning reaction to it.

Mamdani's rip-Off Report:

Still in denial

Jill Biden claims media held her husband to a harsher standard than Trump

Former first lady Jill Biden told a New York audience that the press treated her husband far more harshly than it treats President Trump, a complaint that landed alongside an unscripted interruption from Joe Biden himself and fresh admissions about the family's years of denial over Hunter Biden's drug addiction.

The Biden presidency ended under a cloud of questions about whether the White House misled the country about the president's fitness for office. Jill Biden herself has since admitted she feared her husband was having a stroke on live television during the 2024 debate.

She faulted the White House medical team for failing to catch his cancer. She now concedes the family was in denial about Hunter's addiction while the administration dismissed reporters who asked about it.

These are not the hallmarks of a family victimized by an overzealous press. They are the hallmarks of a family that benefited from a press corps willing to look the other way for years, until the evidence became impossible to ignore.

It's always the other guy's fault

Carney points finger at Washington as Canadian wildfires choke American cities

With 136 active wildfires burning across Ontario and toxic smoke blanketing cities from Detroit to New York, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stood before reporters Thursday and offered Americans a familiar answer: blame climate change, and blame yourselves.

Carney, speaking at a press conference in Ontario, dismissed suggestions that his government could do more to contain the fires. Instead, he pivoted to U.S. energy policy, telling reporters in French that Canada is "maintaining our efforts on the world's scale" while "the U.S. is reducing their efforts globally" on climate change.

President Trump, for his part, has been characteristically direct. The Washington Times reported that Trump threatened to raise tariff levels on Canadian goods, framing the smoke as an "invasion" and accusing Canada of ignoring "basic Forest Management and Debris Removal."

Trump announced plans to call Carney directly, posting that "the cost is incalculable." The administration's posture fits a broader pattern of holding foreign actors accountable for consequences that reach American soil, a philosophy visible in recent joint operations against transnational criminal organizations as well.

From front-runner to 4%

Katie Porter abandons politics after catastrophic gubernatorial loss

She pivots to Instagram book reviews

Former California Democratic Rep. Katie Porter announced she is walking away from politics, at least for now, after a gubernatorial primary collapse that saw her plummet from front-runner to a fifth-place finish with barely 4% of the vote.

Her new venture: recommending books on Instagram.

Porter posted a video to her Instagram account Thursday declaring she is "done for now with politics and campaigning" and rebranding her page as "Katie Porter turns the page," a space for book recommendations and author content.

The Washington Examiner reported on the announcement, which caps a remarkably swift fall for a politician who once polled at 21% in the California Democratic gubernatorial primary.

The rebrand is less a graceful exit than an acknowledgment of political reality. Porter's campaign cratered after a leaked video and a string of staff controversies turned her progressive brand toxic, even among Democratic primary voters in deep-blue California.

China Election Interference

Evening Sky 7-19-26

The Trump administration is reviving a rule that could deny green cards to immigrants who use public benefits that could include food stamps, Medicaid, housing vouchers and others.

The policy, known as “public charge,” appeared on Thursday in the Federal Register. It will be formally published on July 20 and take effect Sept. 18. Under the policy, applicants for green cards have to show they wouldn’t be burdens to the country or “public charges.”

The policy was first implemented in February 2020 as one of President Donald Trump’s moves to limit legal immigration during his first administration, but it was reversed after Democratic President Joe Biden came to power.

New York's Fraud Numbers Are in a Class of Their Own

Donald Trump Sent Federal Agents Into New York After Kathy Hochul Let Fraudsters Steal 2 Million Dollars a Day

Kathy Hochul watched Nigerian crime rings and foreign syndicates drain $507 million from New York's unemployment system in 2025. Now Trump's elite strike force is on the ground in Albany – and Hochul has some explaining to do.

The Department of Labor just embedded federal agents inside New York State's own unemployment office to hunt down every fraud lead and build criminal cases from the inside.

New York isn't just bad at stopping unemployment fraud. It's the worst in the country – by a wide margin. The state carries a 15% fraud rate and a 23% improper payment rate – both the highest in the nation.

Of the $507 million in overpayments paid out in 2025, New York has clawed back just 25%. The national average is 69%.

That gap isn't incompetence. That's a state government that stopped trying.

Jimmy Kimmel: Left wing sick political jokes

ABC Fired Jimmy Kimmel Over a Conservative Death Joke and His Guest Just Did It Again

Jimmy Kimmel got his show pulled off the air for joking about a conservative's death.

His replacement walked onstage 48 hours after Lindsey Graham died and did it again. What Ike Barinholtz, a supposed comedian, said on live television Monday night should cost ABC the same thing it cost them last fall. ABC Learned Nothing From the Charlie Kirk Suspension.

Less than a year ago, ABC yanked Kimmel off the air after FCC Chairman Brendan Carr called his Charlie Kirk death jokes "truly sick" and threatened Disney's broadcast licenses. Nexstar and Sinclair – two of the country's biggest affiliate groups – immediately pulled the show from their stations.

Kimmel returned only after apologizing on air, voice breaking, swearing he never meant to make light of anyone's death.

The show has become a revolving door of left-wing politics disguised as late night entertainment – and now it's openly daring regulators to respond.

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr was blunt when Kimmel's show was suspended last fall: companies either act on their own or face regulatory action.

FCC Chair Brendan Carr Says Disney Ran a Misinformation Campaign

Brendan Carr Called Disney’s Bluff on The View and Its FCC Licenses May Not Survive

ABC begged its own viewers last month to help save The View from federal regulators.

The FCC's answer arrived this week and it was not the one Disney wanted.

Brendan Carr's agency just moved against Disney in a way that could end more than one show.

The Federal Communications Commission is preparing to rule that The View is not a bona fide news program – a decision that would strip Disney's flagship gabfest of a 20 year old legal shield.

That shield is the only thing standing between Whoopi Goldberg's table and the FCC's equal time rule.

Lose it, and every time a Democrat candidate sits at that table, ABC has to hand identical airtime to the Republican running against them.
