Illegals/Traffickers arrested

Eleven illegal immigrants from Venezuela and Colombia indicted in multi-state sex trafficking, drug, and firearms case

Federal prosecutors have charged eleven Venezuelan and Colombian nationals in a sweeping, 30-count indictment alleging the sex trafficking of a minor, drug trafficking, and illegal firearms trafficking across at least four states.

Ten of the eleven defendants were arrested Tuesday in coordinated law enforcement operations spanning Ohio, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Florida. One defendant remains at large, with a listed residence in Mexico.

The case, announced by the Department of Justice, lays out an alleged criminal network that operated across state lines, trafficking at least nine firearms, selling ecstasy, and, most disturbingly, conspiring to sex traffic a girl between the ages of 14 and 18 along with an adult woman in central Ohio.

Ten of the eleven defendants are currently in the United States illegally. That fact alone should sharpen the focus for anyone still debating whether the federal government has an obligation to know who is inside this country and what they are doing here.

FBI Director Kash Patel Announces ‘Operation New Dawn’

in Historic Sweep of 300+ Criminals in Chicago

FBI Director Kash Patel announced Operation New Dawn after federal authorities arrested more than 300 suspects in a sweeping 60-day crackdown across the Chicago area.

The historic operation also recovered 24 children, many reported kidnapped or missing, as President Trump’s law enforcement team vows to keep pressure on violent criminal networks.

Patel said the operation marked a major show of force against crime in one of America’s biggest cities. He described it as a “whole-of-government approach” under President Trump’s leadership.

Our Nation's History is a Legacy to be defended

DeSantis says founders rejected the left’s ideas at Mount Rushmore

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis spent July 4 at Mount Rushmore, where he joined the holiday atmosphere around Trump’s speech and the fireworks show. During a conversation with Sean Hannity on FOX News, DeSantis focused on the country’s founding and said the American system has lasted far beyond what history usually expects.

He said the Founding Fathers understood how fragile republics can be. In his view, they built something designed to stand the test of time. He argued that the core American idea still matters now, especially when modern politics keeps pushing bigger government and softer limits on power.

DeSantis put it plainly:

• “250 years — if you think about it, republics are not supposed to last that long.”
• “When the founding fathers set forth these important principles, they knew that all these republics in history had failed and they were trying to confound history.”
• “And what they laid down were enduring truths.”
• “Our rights either come from God or the government.”
• “If they come from God that’s it, there is no more debate about it.”
• “Government’s either got to be limited or not. If it is, then we always have to have limited government.”

He then turned to the modern left and singled out Zohran Mamdani as part of what he sees as a larger trend.

“And when I see the Mamdani’s of the world, they’re basically offering these ideas, they claim they are progressive, they’re really regressive.”

"It was a civilizational act of courage. The Founders were prosperous men with everything to lose, yet they pledged lives, fortunes, and sacred honor against the most powerful empire on earth.

Washington’s freezing army, Trenton, Princeton, Valley Forge, and the long road to victory proved something permanent about the American soul.

This country was built by people who did the impossible because liberty, faith, and destiny demanded it." [Marco Rubio]

Socialist congressional candidate confirms relationship with Mamdani's top lawyer

who once represented al Qaeda-linked detainees

Darializa Avila Chevalier, the 32-year-old presumptive Democratic congresswoman backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, has confirmed she is in a romantic relationship with Ramzi Kassem.

Ramzi Kassem is the 48-year-old attorney who serves as Mamdani's chief legal counsel and who previously represented Guantanamo Bay detainees linked to al Qaeda, including one man described as a "close associate" of Osama bin Laden.

The relationship, which became official in 2023, ties together three figures at the center of New York's rising socialist left: a congressional candidate, the mayor who endorsed her, and the lawyer who advises him, all bound by shared activism, overlapping professional work, and now personal romance.

The Washington Free Beacon reported the details of the arrangement, drawing on a statement Chevalier provided to City and State.

The facts raise pointed questions about political entanglement, and about the network of relationships shaping who gets endorsed, who gets hired, and who gets sent to Congress from New York City.

American Greatness - "The Last best hope of Earth"

Reagan defined American greatness as its people, not its government. We the People are the country

In his re-election campaign, he said, “The greatness of America doesn’t begin in Washington; it begins with each of you—in the mighty spirit of free people under God, in the bedrock values you live by each day in your families, neighborhoods, and workplaces.”

In 1983, in his speech calling the Soviet Union the Evil Empire, Reagan said, “Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness did I understand the greatness and the genius of America. America is good. And if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.”

25 years later, Obama’s election proved Reagan was right about ceasing greatness. Loyalty matters. Obama refused to honor the flag by covering his heart with his hand and Democrats nominated him.

The problem today is millions of those newcomers just absolutely hate America because even with control of the schools and the media, Democrats cannot generate enough self-loathing to keep them in power.

You cannot reconcile Christianity with Islamism.

Caesar Rodney, a Founding Father

Hail Caesar—a patriot’s statue returns

President Trump restores the honor to a man toppled by the George Floyd hysteria

Listen my readers, I know you did hear of the famous ride of Paul Revere.

Today you will become aware then of the famous ride of a Delawarean.

Caesar Rodney is a Founding Father, a title that is as alive today as it was on July 2, 1776, when he cast the vote in the Continental Congress to have all 13 colonies declare independence from the Crown.

He rode 70 miles through the backwoods from Wilmington to Philadelphia during a thunderstorm at night to cast the vote that broke the deadlock in the Delaware delegation. He did not see the ride as the big deal it was. Eventually he was elected Mayor in his home county and then Governor in 1778.

His patriotism went back to participation in the French and Indian War followed by opposition to the Stamp Act, which placed a tax on paper. Benjamin Franklin objected that it hit printers hardest. John Adams Adams, viewed it as an effort to “strip us in a great measure of the means of knowledge, by loading the Press, the colleges, and even an Almanack and a News-Paper, with restraints and duties.”

But Delaware honored Rodney with the statue for 97 years, until Saint George Floyd died in Minneapolis. On June 12, 2020, Democrat Mayor Mike Purzycki of Wilmington, Delaware, reacted by ordering the removal of the Caesar Rodney equestrian statue. Purzycki also removed a statue of Columbus.

The mayor put them in storage.

In 1923, Civil War General James Harrison Wilson headed an effort to raise money to fund a statue to Caesar Rodney.

Wilson was 23 and an 1860 graduate of West Point when the Civil War began. He helped end the war as a general four years later, defeating Nathan Bedford Forrest in the Battle of Selma. Later, Wilson also helped capture Jefferson Davis, but Delaware has not honored Wilson.

When Obama went Selma with black leaders to celebrate the 50th anniversary of a civil rights march, he failed to note that it was the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Selma, which actually helped free the slaves.

Katanji Insults Clarence Thomas

Jackson invokes slavery to rebuke Thomas in heated birthright citizenship clash

The Supreme Court struck down President Trump's executive order restricting birthright citizenship in a divided ruling on June 30, with the real fireworks coming not from the majority opinion but from a bitter exchange between Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson (DEI hire) and Clarence Thomas, two of only three Black justices ever to serve on the Court.

Jackson used her concurring opinion to accuse Thomas by name of trying to repurpose the 14th Amendment's Citizenship Clause into a narrow, race-specific remedy rather than a broad constitutional guarantee.

Thomas, in a 91-page dissent joined by Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch, fired back that the majority had "devalued" American citizenship by extending it to what he called "the children of all foreign birth tourists and illegal aliens."

The 6-3 decision affirmed that children born on U.S. soil to parents unlawfully or temporarily present are citizens under the 14th Amendment. Chief Justice John Roberts authored the majority opinion, joined by Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett, and the Court's three liberal justices, as Just The News reported.

The ruling struck down a 2025 executive order directing federal agencies to deny birthright citizenship to children of illegal immigrants.

In Thomas's view, a constitutional provision written to guarantee that freed Black Americans could never again be stripped of their citizenship has been stretched to cover a situation its framers never contemplated, automatic citizenship for children born to people who entered the country illegally or on temporary visas.

Jackson accuses Clarence Thomas of Intellectual inconsistency

Years from now, this ruling will be over-turned as did Roe v. Wade.

Celebrating America's 250 Birthday

Founding Message rings true 250 years later

On July 4, 1776, delegates of a nascent nation boldly declared that freedom could not be constrained by authoritarian rule, and that liberty was worth fighting for. 250 years later, that founding message of America still rings true.

For the past quarter millennium, the United States of America has stood as a beacon of order and a bulwark against evil. We were able to do so because of the principles enshrined in our founding documents. As the Declaration of Independence states:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

This simple yet powerful statement is the core of what it means to be an American. It is also the antithesis of the brutal ideology of communism.

Today, July 4th, we look forward to celebrating America’s 250th birthday as we cherish the freedoms that make our way of life possible, in stark contrast with the oppression of communism.

General Flynn’s Fourth of July message is not nostalgia. It is a warning order. America was not born in comfort, consensus, or safety. It was born in a hot Philadelphia room where fifty-six men knowingly signed their names beneath a death warrant and dared an empire to answer.

Flynn reminds us that the Founders built a Republic, not a mob-rule democracy, because they understood history, power, law, and human weakness.

The crossing was never finished at Trenton. Every generation gets its own frozen river, its own test, and its own choice: defend the Republic or watch it become a hollow brand.

The "Trumpapalooza" - Republican Mid-Term Convention

Trump announces first-ever Republican midterm convention in Dallas

President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced the Republican Party will hold a two-day midterm convention in Dallas, Texas, on September 9, 10, an event he and the Republican National Committee describe as the first of its kind in American political history.

The move represents an unprecedented effort to rally GOP voters and protect slim congressional majorities ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, a cycle that historically punishes the party holding the White House.

Trump made the announcement in a Truth Social post, calling Dallas "one of my favorite places in the World" and framing the convention as a celebration of what he termed the "Great American Comeback."

"For the first time ever, the Republican Party will hold a MIDTERM CONVENTION. It will be in Dallas, Texas, One of my favorite places in the World. It will be fantastic! It has never been done before, and will be a truly Historic Event."

Neither major party has held a national convention outside of a presidential election cycle in modern times, making this a deliberate break from standard political practice. The RNC laid the groundwork months ago.

AP News reported that the committee amended its procedures at its January winter meeting to allow the chair to convene a convention during a midterm year, a procedural change that now appears to have been designed with exactly this event in mind.

RNC Chair Joe Gruters wasted no time endorsing the plan, calling it a "Trumpapalooza" and casting the president as the party's greatest asset heading into a difficult election cycle.

Tucker Carlson Vows Third Party

Tucker Carlson Says He’s Starting a New Political Party After Break with GOP

Tucker Carlson says he plans to help build a new political party after breaking with President Trump and the Republican Party over the Iran war.

The conservative podcaster argued that Democrats and Republicans are too aligned on the issues he believes matter most to Americans.

Carlson made the declaration in an interview with the Columbia Journalism Review.

“I’m going to help build a third party,” Carlson said. He said there should be a “good-faith effort” to determine what benefits the country.

Carlson said his biggest concerns are “war and finance.” He argued that Democrats and Republicans are largely aligned on both issues. “That’s not a democracy,” Carlson said.

He described the system as “a one-party state posing as a democracy.”

Read more...

Starting a third political party requires navigating a complex, state-by-state process to achieve Federal Election Commission (FEC) registration and state ballot access. Key steps include raising funds to trigger party status, filing petitions to get on the ballot, and building deep, localized voter infrastructure.

Another Tucker eccentric idea will get nowhere.

DEI in California now will include two Muslim Holidays

California bill to make Muslim holidays official state days raises hard questions about school neutrality

California's State Assembly voted 64-1 to pass AB 2017, a bill that would establish two Muslim holy days, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, as official state holidays and authorize public schools to close for both.

The bill advanced to the Senate Appropriations Committee on Wednesday, carrying a provision that has drawn sharp criticism from religious liberty advocates: it would direct the State Board of Education to develop a model curriculum for classroom exercises "acknowledging and celebrating" the holidays.

The measure, authored by Assemblyman Matt Haney, a San Francisco Democrat, sailed through the Assembly with virtually no opposition. But the bill's language goes beyond calendar recognition. It opens the door for state-guided classroom activities tied to specific religious observances, a step that critics say collides with California's own longstanding neutrality rules.

AB 2017 would add Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha to California's official state holiday calendar, designating a single day of observance for each. Both holidays traditionally span three to four days, and both shift annually on the Islamic lunar calendar. The bill authorizes, but does not require, local public school boards and community colleges to shut down campuses for both days.

If neutrality means anything, it means the state does not pick winners among faiths. California chose that principle when it scrubbed Christmas and Easter from school calendars. The state cannot now build celebration curriculum for Eid and call it equity. It is preference, dressed in the language of inclusion.

Neutrality is only a principle if it applies to everyone. The moment it becomes selective, it is just politics.

Turn your AC to 78^

NYC Mayor Mamdani tells sweltering residents to set thermostats to 78 degrees

and the backlash was immediate

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani told millions of residents baking in a holiday weekend heat wave to crank their air conditioners up to 78 degrees, and the internet let him have it.

The post on X, made from the official @NYCMayor account, racked up more than 36.5 million views as critics from reality TV stars to sitting governors piled on with a single recurring word: communist.

The mayor's directive came as officials warned that temperatures in the city could feel as hot as 112 degrees. Mamdani framed the ask as a matter of grid stability and public safety, but the optics of a self-described socialist mayor lecturing sweating New Yorkers about their thermostats proved irresistible to his critics, and, notably, to at least one prominent liberal.

Bill Maher, hardly a right-wing figure, used his Friday closing monologue on HBO's "Real Time" to weigh in. The host did not hold back, as Breitbart reported:

"Democrats seem to be having this debate whether or not Mayor Mamdani is a socialist or a democratic socialist. Let me settle it: He's a straight-up Communist."

Maher cited a statement from one of Mamdani's own major advisers who reportedly urged supporters to "elect more Communists." And Maher had a warning for his own side of the aisle.

"If liberals deny it like he's just going through a goth phase, they're going to lose more elections."

Third World Scarcity - Air Conditioning

Progressive energy policies have left New York’s grid too fragile for routine summer heat

There’s a familiar pattern playing out in America’s progressive-run cities. Infrastructure crumbles, energy grids buckle, and instead of fixing the problem, politicians ask you to sacrifice — to use less, expect less, and be grateful for it.

They call it solidarity. They call it doing your part. What they never call it is what it actually is: failure.

And when the politicians making these demands happen to be self-described collectivists, the ask takes on an even darker undertone. Scarcity stops being an inconvenience and starts looking like a feature — the perfect excuse to tell free citizens how to live in their own homes.

From the Daily Wire:

Far-Left New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani told New York City residents and business owners to take on the heat wave in the name of collectivism, urging them to keep their thermostats set to a toasty 78 degrees.

Barstool founder Dave Portnoy — who recently floated a mayoral run against Mamdani — didn’t mince words: “78 degrees??? Welcome to communism people! Hope you enjoy!”

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis twisted the knife with surgical precision, asking, “Is this what was meant by the warmth of collectivism?” — a direct callback to Mamdani’s own infamous rhetoric about replacing “the frigidity of rugged individualism” with collectivist warmth.
