Mamdani called for abolishing ICE

DHS Chief Just Called New York Mayor a Socialist Communist With Zero Respect

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani publicly called for abolishing ICE and declared federal enforcement operations "cruel and inhumane."

Seventy percent of ICE arrests nationwide involve illegal aliens with criminal convictions.

Now the man in charge of the entire Department of Homeland Security just responded on national television.

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin went on Fox News and said he has "zero respect" for Mamdani – and explained exactly why New York's refusal to cooperate with ICE is putting Americans across the country in danger.

Mullin Named Him Directly...Appearing on Fox News Channel's America Reports Wednesday, Secretary Mullin didn't mince words when asked about the mayor's defiance.

Mamdani – a self-described democratic socialist born in Uganda who became New York City's first Muslim mayor – has spent his first months in office signing executive orders to block ICE from city property and publicly calling for the agency to be abolished entirely.

"Mamdani is a socialist communist that I have zero respect for," Mullin said. "He's running a great city by allowing lawless activity to continue to run rampant on the streets."

The House Oversight Committee confirmed that pattern in a March 2026 report, finding that sanctuary cities function as staging areas for illegal immigrant criminals whose violence spills into neighboring jurisdictions that cooperate with federal authorities.

Senate Parliamentarian

John Thune Told Trump No and Now the SAVE America Act Is Dead in the Senate

Democrats have been stealing elections for years – and Republicans finally had a bill to stop it.

Now one Senate Republican is standing between Trump and the only law that could fix it.

Thune just went on Fox Business and told the country why proving you're a citizen before you vote will never become law – and he aimed the blame everywhere except the mirror.

Elizabeth MacDonough has been the Senate parliamentarian since 2012 – appointed by Harry Reid, kept in place by Mitch McConnell, and still ruling against Republicans today.

Trump called her a "Radical Left Lunatic" this week and posted on Truth Social demanding Thune fire her immediately.

"Senate Majority Leader John Thune should immediately fire the Parliamentarian, who treats Republicans, and everything that they stand for, horribly!" Trump wrote.

He's not wrong.

MacDonough spent the past year picking apart Trump's agenda piece by piece.

Trusting Jewelry Store owner is robbed by employee

Lake Worth Beach jewelry store employee arrested after $150K merchandise theft, fleeing to Panama

LAKE WORTH BEACH, Fla. (CBS12) — A Lake Worth Beach jewelry store owner is seeking justice after detectives say a trusted employee stole $150K in merchandise and later left the country.

Officers with the Boynton Beach Police Department say 46-year-old Zabrina Herrera Acosta, who was arrested on Friday, managed to pawn at least 126 jewelry items between February and November of 2025, netting nearly $87,000.

The victim told deputies she hired Herrera Acosta in February 2025 at YR Jewelry on South Military Trail.

Because the owner was attending to a family matter, she was unable to be at the store as often as usual and trusted Herrera Acosta to handle the store's inventory.

UFC Freedom 250

President Trump and UFC CEO Dana White made a grand entrance at UFC Freedom 250 on Sunday evening

They turned the White House South Lawn into a very unusual fight-night backdrop. The event, staged at “The Claw,” was billed as a seven-fight card with 14 fighters.

The start was pushed back a bit because of inclement weather. Even with the delay, the scene around the White House stayed busy. The card had the look and feel of a big production from the moment Trump and White stepped out together before the fights began.

One of the loudest moments off the canvas came during the National Anthem, when fighter jets flew overhead as a lone protester stood near the National Monument. A post on X captured the moment and added to the odd mix of politics, spectacle, and sports that surrounded the night.

See video

Inside the cage, the action got started fast. Diego Lopes knocked out Steve Garcia to open the UFC Freedom event, setting the tone for the rest of the card. It was the kind of finish that cuts through all the pageantry and puts the focus right back where it belongs: on the fight itself.

The event was also being streamed live for viewers following along from home. That meant fans got the full package — the White House backdrop, the weather delay, the Trump-White arrival, and the action in the Octagon all at once.

Flag Day is not a Hallmark holiday.

It is a reminder that America was born in rebellion against tyranny, taxation without representation, warrantless searches, disarmament, military occupation, and a ruling class that mistook colonial patience for weakness.

Tierney’s Flag Day history walks through the Grand Union Flag, the 1777 Stars and Stripes resolution, the Revolution, and the long fight that turned scattered colonies into a sovereign republic.

The American flag is not just cloth. It is memory, sacrifice, independence, resistance, faith, and warning: free people stay free only when they defend freedom. [Luthmann]

Over-sexed Judge - A complaint, a reprimand, and an Impeachment

Must be something in the food lately

Georgia Republicans file impeachment articles against federal judge over misconduct allegations

Rep. Andrew Clyde, a Georgia Republican, introduced three articles of impeachment against U.S. District Judge Eleanor Ross, who serves on the Northern District of Georgia bench in Atlanta. Rep. Buddy Carter joined as a cosponsor.

The charges center on allegations of sexual activity in her chambers, attendance at a partisan political event, and making false statements to investigators.

The move marks an unusual escalation. Congressional impeachment of a sitting federal judge is rare, and the articles land amid a broader stretch of scrutiny for Ross tied to a Justice Department election records case and her role in a high-profile sentencing.

11Alive reported that Clyde's impeachment filing rests on three specific episodes.

• The first involves allegations that Ross engaged in sexual activity with a "uniformed law enforcement officer" during work hours in her chambers, on multiple occasions and within earshot of staff.
• The second accuses Ross of attending a political event hosted by Fulton County State's Attorney Fani Willis.
• The third charges her with making false statements to investigators looking into the allegations about sexual conduct in her office.

A badge and a position of trust - Pinellas County Florida Sheriff's office made arrest

Ohio police chief faces 70-count child sex indictment, arrested in Florida

A Clermont County grand jury has indicted Bethel, Ohio, Police Chief Chad Essert on 56 counts of sexual battery and 14 counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, 70 felony charges that carry a combined maximum sentence of 280 years in prison. The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office took the 44-year-old into custody Tuesday night in Seminole, Florida, without incident.

Essert now sits in the Pinellas County Jail awaiting extradition back to Ohio to face the charges. Every count is a third-degree felony. The alleged victim, authorities say, was a student of Essert's.

Fox News Digital reported that the alleged offenses span from 2005 to 2010, a period during which Essert served as an instructor at the "Young Marines" and as a teacher at Scarlet Oaks Career Campus in Sharonville, Ohio. The crimes are alleged to have occurred across multiple locations in both Clermont and Hamilton counties.

But the facts already in the public record tell a damning story about institutional failure. A man left one police job in 2010 under allegations of sexual harassment and witness intimidation. He was later entrusted with a police chief's badge. And now a grand jury says he committed 70 felonies against a child during the years he was supposed to be mentoring and teaching young people.

If the system worked the way it should, this indictment would not have taken this long, and Chad Essert would never have been given a second badge to hide behind.

Parking Garage downtown Lake Worth Beach

Parking Garage in Downtown Lake Worth Beach

Palm Beach County’s last city with a traditional downtown that lacks a fully public parking garage is a step closer to building one. The plan’s opponents and even one key supporter say they expect it to bring an end to free street parking.

The Lake Worth Beach City Commission on June 8 gave initial approval to the construction of a long-discussed parking garage south of Lake Avenue, on the northwest corner of South K Street and First Avenue South. Commissioner Chris McVoy cast the lone dissenting vote.

The final public hearing and commission vote on the zoning changes needed to pave the way for construction is scheduled for June 30.

The planned 95,000-square-foot, four-story garage will have 260 spaces but after used for the museum and the apartments, it is wittled down to around 47 spaces. The K street garage will be part of the Wiener Museum of Decorative Arts and arts campus, which will include an art museum and 110 apartments two blocks east of the garage. The developer, Anthony Wiener, is contributing $1 million to the $8.5 million garage, with the city contributing the rest.

Read about it... As you read this article, the details get worse.
Lake Worth For All sued the city on Feb. 3 to stop construction of WMODA, claiming it illegally spent Palm Beach County sales tax money to get the project built.

The lawsuit argues the city’s Community Redevelopment Agency, in charge of improving blighted areas, broke state law by buying land downtown with more than $1.6 million in sales-tax revenue meant for public parking, then selling the site to Wiener for $10 to build WMODA. The case is before Circuit Judge Scott Kerner.

And all commissioners other than McVoy, have no problem screwing the residents by eventually charging for downtown parking that has always been free.

Back in August 2010 we were going through this. Suzanne Mulvehill was the only commissioner who stated, "It is our job to support business." She also wanted to check with the downtown businesses before anything.

To bring it up again in 2026--does our present commission not believe that it might hurt our downtown businesses? Perhaps people will go dine and shop somewhere else? Perhaps shoppers don't like meters or pay-stations or the hassle of it all? Perhaps the amount of revenue derived is just not worth the risk?

Lake Worth has always been a draw because of free parking. But it was the same old philosophy of charging more to the people here because of a revenue need. Charge the shoppers and let those who don't want to pay, walk from 3 blocks away...not consumer friendly.

The downtown is hurting. We should be doing all that we can do build up our downtown, not put obstacles in its pathway to success. We should stop screwing the residents and shop owners of this city.

Violence is not a Protest

Portland anti-ICE protester gets 30 months in federal prison for rock attack on officer

A Portland man who hurled a rock at a federal officer's head during an anti-ICE protest last June will spend the next two and a half years in prison. U.S. District Judge Adrienne Nelson sentenced Robert Jacob Hoopes on Thursday to 30 months in federal prison, three years of supervised release, and more than $8,000 in restitution after he pleaded guilty to aggravated assault of a federal employee with a dangerous weapon.

The sentence marks the most significant prison term yet to come out of the months-long siege of Portland's U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building, a facility that has drawn nightly demonstrations since last summer. And it sends a straightforward message from federal prosecutors: throw a rock at a cop, go to prison.

Court documents detailed what happened. During a protest outside the Portland ICE building last June, Hoopes threw a rock that struck an officer in the head, opening a gash above the officer's eye. Fox News reported that prosecutors described the injury as "significant." The officer's name has not been publicly released.

Hasan Piker is not just an online loudmouth. He is a walking Democrat Party liability, a Red-Green alliance mascot with a camera crew, a grievance script, and a talent for showing up wherever anti-American street politics need a celebrity accelerant.

Delaney Hall should become a midterm marker. Voters need to see the chain clearly: anti-ICE chaos outside detention facilities, socialist groups organizing pressure campaigns, progressive candidates calling to abolish enforcement, and Democrat officials refusing to draw a hard line.

Mamdani's ideological New York Transformation

NYC Mayor Mamdani pledges $15 million in taxpayer funds for transgender healthcare, calls it just the beginning

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani used a Tuesday evening Pride Month celebration to announce a $15 million taxpayer-funded investment in gender-affirming care, and made clear he views the spending as only a down payment on a far larger commitment to come.

The mayor called New York City a "haven" for people with alternative gender identities and framed the new spending as a direct response to what he described as ongoing threats against LGBTQ+ communities. The announcement landed as the New York City Council continues to weigh a record-setting $125 billion budget for fiscal year 2027, raising immediate questions about where the money will come from and who, exactly, will receive it.

As Fox News Digital reported, the mayor doubled down on promises he first made during his campaign, when his website outlined a plan to spend $65 million to "explicitly support and expand access to Gender Affirming Care" in New York City. Of that larger figure, up to $57 million was earmarked for public hospitals, community clinics, health centers, and nonprofits capable of performing procedures.

Mamdani framed the $15 million as a moral imperative, not a policy choice open to debate. In his remarks Tuesday, he linked the spending to what he called the protection of trans New Yorkers.

The mayor established what he called New York City's first-ever Office of LGBTQIA+ Affairs, a new bureaucratic layer inside city government.

The phrase "first step" is worth pausing on. If the campaign's $65 million plan remains the destination, New York taxpayers can expect substantially more spending in the years ahead, with no public accounting yet of how the initial $15 million will be allocated, which providers will receive it, or what oversight mechanisms will govern its use.

Fox News Digital noted it remains unclear where the $15 million request is being allocated from or how the funds will be disbursed. That is not a minor administrative detail. It is the kind of question city council members and taxpayers deserve answered before the money moves.

Read more... about Mamdani's personal moral decisions.

The Williams Institute estimates that well over 700,000 LGBTQ+ adults live in the New York metropolitan area (which includes NYC, Long Island, Newark, and Jersey City), making it the highest total LGBT population in any U.S. metro area.City Estimates: Independent historical studies and demographic tracking from organizations like the NYC Comptroller's Office have indicated an underlying trans population of more than 50,000 across the five boroughs.

Statewide Demographics: Data from the New York State Department of Health shows that transgender, gender non-conforming, non-binary, and intersex adults collectively make up about 1.4% of New York's adult population.

Democrats sue and lose again - Happy Birthday America!

Obama-appointed judge rejects last-minute bid to block UFC Freedom 250 at the White House

A federal judge appointed by President Barack Obama refused Friday to halt the UFC Freedom 250 event planned for the White House South Lawn and Lincoln Memorial this weekend, dismissing a last-minute lawsuit that claimed two local residents would suffer aesthetic and emotional harm from the celebration of America's 250th birthday.

U.S. District Judge Amit P. Mehta ruled that the plaintiffs lacked legal standing and had not shown the kind of concrete, personal injury required under Article III of the Constitution.

The decision cleared the way for the June 12 news conference and fighter face-offs at the Lincoln Memorial, followed by a June 14 fight card on the South Lawn, an event nearly a year in the making, backed by an estimated $60 million investment, and expected to draw thousands of spectators and a remote audience of millions.

The lawsuit and its backers:

Two Virginia residents filed the emergency request days before the event, arguing that federal officials violated National Park Service regulations, bypassed congressional authority, and skipped the environmental review required under the National Environmental Policy Act.

They targeted the construction of a massive UFC staging ring known as "The Claw" on the South Lawn, calling it "visually offensive" and claiming the "unauthorized, commercial exploitation of the national monuments caused harm."

The Washington Examiner reported the lawsuit was backed by the left-wing activist group Public Integrity Project. The Washington Times described the organization as a nonprofit legal group aligned with Democratic Party causes.

Judge Mehta was unpersuaded. He did not reach the merits of the plaintiffs' legal claims at all. Instead, he found they had failed the threshold test: proving they had standing to bring the case in the first place.

Democrats Gambled on the Longest DHS Shutdown in American History – and Lost

Democrats Triggered the Longest DHS Shutdown in History and Now Republicans Are Making Them Pay for It

Democrats shut down the Department of Homeland Security in February rather than fund ICE.

They held out for months, demanding reforms, insisting on "accountability," and blocking the agents who protect your neighborhood from being funded.

Now Republicans are finishing the job – $70 billion for ICE and Border Patrol – and Democrats couldn't slow it down by a single vote.

In mid-February, Democrats refused to vote for ICE and Border Patrol funding. Their stated reason: two U.S. citizens were fatally shot by immigration enforcement agents in Minneapolis during a Trump deportation operation.

Their actual goal: gut the enforcement machinery that's been removing criminal illegal aliens from American soil at a record pace. So DHS shut down – the longest partial shutdown of the department in American history.

LA Homeless Services spent $513mil but could not account for one dime

Trump Cuts Ties with Los Angeles Homeless Agency Over Obvious Fraud

For years now, Americans have watched billions of their hard-earned tax dollars vanish into government “homelessness programs” that somehow never manage to solve homelessness. Progressive city leaders announce bold spending initiatives. Nonprofits line up at the trough.

Bureaucracies balloon. And the tent cities? They just keep growing. The Trump administration’s fraud task force, led by Vice President JD Vance, is finally exposing how deep the rot actually runs.

What they’re uncovering should infuriate every American who pays taxes. From the Midwest to the West Coast, the task force is finding a disturbing pattern: blue-state governments treating federal dollars like Monopoly money — or worse, like a personal piggy bank for well-connected insiders. But no city illustrates the scandal quite like Los Angeles.

From Fox News:

A top Trump agency is cutting off funding to the Los Angeles agency responsible for coordinating billions in homelessness spending after accusing it of “obvious fraud,” “wanton mismanagement” and repeated failures to safeguard taxpayer dollars, Fox News Digital has learned.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which is a member of the White House fraud task force led by Vice President JD Vance, is immediately suspending the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority’s (LAHSA) federal funding while HUD’s inspector general investigates potential offenses by the agency and its leadership.

The City Controller’s Office found that LAHSA failed to spend $513 million in public funds during fiscal year 2024. The excuse? Not enough staff and outdated technology. So they couldn’t spend the money. And when they did manage to spend it, they couldn’t tell anyone where it went. Remarkable.

"I love the Inflation"

Democrats strip Trump's inflation remarks from context as president reveals Strait of Hormuz operation

President Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Wednesday that he "loves the inflation", and within hours, Democratic leaders had clipped the quote, stripped it of context, and blasted it across social media.

What they left out was everything that followed the word "inflation": a detailed account of a military operation against Iranian oil shipments, a claim that more than 100 million barrels of oil had been pushed through the Strait of Hormuz, and a prediction that prices would collapse once the conflict ends.

The full exchange, as CBS News reported, began when a reporter asked Trump whether he was concerned that the Consumer Price Index had risen to an annual rate of 4.2%, up from 3.8% the prior month and the highest reading since April 2023.

Trump's answer was not a celebration of grocery prices. It was a pivot to what he described as a previously undisclosed military campaign against Iran's oil infrastructure and shipping capacity, one he said explained why oil sat at $85 a barrel and why he expected prices to fall sharply once the operation concluded.

What Trump actually said--The president's full remarks in the Oval Office went well beyond the four-word clip Democrats circulated. Trump told the reporter:

"The numbers were great. You know what I really love? I love the inflation. You know why? Because as soon as this war is over. You know, I can say it now, something you didn't know. Did you know we've been taking out millions of barrels of oil? Nobody knows it. You know who doesn't know about it? Iran, until right now. We took out the other night, 22 ships. Late at night, with no lights. Because they don't have any radar because we blasted the crap out of it. We took out. That's why oil's $85 a barrel."
