Communist New York City mayor announces plans to take properties from owners, give them to tenants!
Promises 'aggressive legal action' against owners he dislikes
New York's Democrat Socialist mayor, Zohran Mamdani, worked as a housing counselor, and a rapper, so he knows the topics on which he's commenting.
He announced plans to take properties from their owners and give them to tenants, but it all will be legal, of course. In fact, "aggressive" legal.
This is the same brilliant economic thinking that has made San Francisco and other leftist utopias such affordable paradises. Control prices, mandate heavily — demonize the people who actually know how to build stuff — and somehow the units will just magically appear while landlords and developers line up to lose money for the greater good," Not the Bee noted.
Eminent Domain (Public Use)
Under the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the government can seize private property for public use (e.g., building roads, schools, or public infrastructure).
Legal Information Institute
Just Compensation: The government is required by law to pay the property owner "fair market value" for the taken land.
DEMOCRATS HATE JUSTICE THOMAS BECAUSE HE FOLLOWS THE US CONSTITUTION
Justice Clarence Thomas is widely considered one of the most steadfast and thoroughgoing constitutional originalists* to ever serve on the US Supreme Court.
Clarence Thomas is now the second-longest-serving Supreme Court justice in American history
Thomas has left his mark on the Supreme Court, even as his role has evolved over the years. “He began his time on the court often in dissent, and he stood his ground,” said Haley Proctor, a University of Notre Dame law professor who previously served as a clerk for Thomas. “The justice’s influence on the law has been profound,” Proctor said. “And that is a consequence, not only of his many years on the court, but also of his persistence.”
Thomas has helped the court’s 6-3 conservative majority, in place since 2020, to act assertively. On back-to-back days in June 2022, he was the author of a landmark ruling expanding gun rights protected by the US Constitution’s Second Amendment and joined other conservative justices in overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that had legalized abortion nationwide. [Diane Gruber]
Jeff Bezos Said Something on CNBC That Has Democrats Calling Him a Traitor
The Washington Post spent years running hit piece after hit piece on Donald Trump. Now the man who owns it just called Trump right about a lot of things.
What Bezos said next on live television is the kind of admission his own former newsroom will never recover from. Jeff Bezos sat down with CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin Wednesday morning and said something you almost never hear from a billionaire in his zip code.
"Trump has lots of good ideas, and he's been right about a lot of things," Bezos said. "You have to give him credit where credit is due."
He wasn't finished. I think he is a more mature, more disciplined version of himself than he was in his first term," Bezos added.
He blocked the Post's presidential endorsement months before the election, telling readers the paper would no longer take sides. He replaced longtime editor Sally Buzbee and directed the newsroom toward what he called fierce independence.
Then in February 2026, he gutted the place – the paper cut between 350 and 375 journalists in a single morning, nearly half the entire newsroom, wiping out the sports section, the books section, the flagship podcast, and most of the foreign bureaus.
The message comes amid a tense standoff between Iran and the United States, as negotiations continue for a possible diplomatic settlement of the war.
Iranian leader Mojtaba Khamenei issued a message on May 26 calling for greater unity across the Muslim world against the United States and Israel, saying that the chants “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” will become the rallying slogans of Muslims and “the oppressed of the world.”
Khamenei’s message was to mark Hajj, the annual Islamic pilgrimage. In it, Khamenei described a historic struggle against U.S. and Israeli influence in the Middle East, repeatedly invoking the revolutionary slogan “Allahu Akbar” as the “weapon” that had enabled Iran and its allies to resist outside pressure.
He said Iran had succeeded in “making the Zionist regime helpless under its severe blows during the second imposed war” and in delivering “a harsh slap to aggressive America,” while thwarting efforts to force Tehran into submission.
The statement also praised what it called the “Resistance Front,” saying Iranian forces and allied fighters in Lebanon had secured “notable victories” against “the two terrorist armies, armed to the teeth by the American-Zionist side.”
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio similarly said Trump would not accept a “bad deal” with Iran and warned that Washington would pursue “another way” if diplomacy failed.
Democrats handed Trump the biggest Electoral College victory in 36 years
Now they're reading the autopsy – and one MSNBC correspondent just told them the problem was they didn't talk enough about transgender children.
That's not a punchline. That's the actual advice being offered on national television in May 2026. The Democratic National Committee finally published its 2024 post-election analysis this week – a document party leaders had been holding since January while they figured out how to manage the fallout.
What it found wasn't complicated: voters left over inflation, the border, and a widening conviction that Democratic leaders had no idea how ordinary Americans live. MSNBC covered the release with a contributor panel.
That's where Daniels – the network's senior Washington correspondent and co-host of The Weekend – stepped in front of the camera with his prescription. The party, he said, needs to "be more comfortable with the idea of power."
High School Students (Ages 13-17): Approximately 3.3% of U.S. teens identify as transgender, according to data from the Williams Institute at UCLA. This estimate translates to about 724,000 youth nationwide.
Cornyn wanting to be Senator for life told Paxton that 'Judgment day' was coming
It did yesterday. Paxton slaughtered him at the polls
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Tuesday cruised to victory in the high-profile Republican runoff for the U.S. Senate seat from Texas over incumbent Sen. John Cornyn.
Paxton was projected the winner by the Associated Press an hour after polls closed with 62.5% of the vote, compared to 37.5% with 45% of ballots counted.
Cornyn has been in office for 23 years and quickly conceded defeat alongside his family, reflecting on 40 years and 18 consecutive elections, now capping his career in public office.
The DNC spent months hiding their 192-page Kamala Harris autopsy from their own party. Trace Gallagher read it live on Fox News – and one name is missing from all 192 pages.
The Democrats wrote a book about why they lost and left out the one person who caused it. Democratic National Committee promised an honest autopsy of Kamala Harris's 2024 collapse.
Then DNC Chair Ken Martin buried it for months, calling it a "distraction." When party pressure forced his hand in May 2026, Martin released it – then immediately disowned it.
"I am not proud of this product; it does not meet my standards," he wrote.The Report They Tried to Kill. Gallagher went through the report live on Fox News @ Night – and he didn't hold back.
"Common Sense will cut to the big edge-of-your-seat conclusion," he said, "which is that Kamala Harris didn't do enough to beat Donald Trump." [pantsonfire]
US Military Carries Out ‘Self-Defense Strikes’ on Iranian Boats, Missile Launch Sites: CENTCOM
The strikes were designed ‘to protect our troops from threats posed by Iranian forces,’ CENTCOM said in a statement.
The U.S. military carried out “self-defense strikes” on Monday in southern Iran, the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said.
CENTCOM spokesman Navy Capt. Tim Hawkins said the strikes targeted Iranian missile launch sites and boats “attempting to emplace mines” in southern Iran.
“U.S. forces conducted self-defense strikes in southern Iran today to protect our troops from threats posed by Iranian forces,” Hawkins said in a statement to The Epoch Times. “U.S. Central Command continues to defend our forces while using restraint during the ongoing ceasefire.”
Iranian news outlets reported that explosions were heard late Monday in the southern city of Bandar Abbas and near Sirik and Jask. It is unclear what caused the blasts or whether they stemmed from the U.S. strikes.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said on May 25 that both nations have “reached understandings on many issues,” but that an agreement to end the war is not imminent at this stage.
Stood before Congress and told them about the Islamification of his school
It was just weeks ago that Act for America alerted their members to the troubling events unfolding at Wiley High School in Texas. A story of blatant double standards and the steady Islamification of a public school district quickly made national headlines and went viral.
At the center of it all was a courageous sophomore named Marco Hunter Lopez, who refused to stay silent as his school promoted Islamic initiatives while suppressing conservative voices. From that moment, Marco stepped boldly onto the national stage, testifying before Congress to expose the growing encroachment of radical ideologies in American education.
Marco’s testimony was nothing short of inspiring. As a young man who founded the Republican Club at his high school, he detailed how administrators enthusiastically embraced World Hijab Day—his own principal proudly wearing the hijab and posting about how much she “loved it.”
Meanwhile, his club faced repeated obstacles: denied approval at first, stripped of privileges other groups enjoyed, and even having posters torn down. The contrast was stark. Marco revealed that libraries in his district, including McMillan Junior High, stocked copies of the Quran while refusing to offer the Bible. When he sought answers, principals reportedly avoided him. This is not education—it is indoctrination.
He went toe-to-toe with lawmakers who attempted to tear him down, most notably Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD). When Raskin invoked centuries of religious conflict and the separation of church and state to deflect concerns about American heritage, Marco remained steady.
He clarified that he was not calling for a theocracy, but simply urging Congress to acknowledge America’s foundational Christian heritage—the very values that shaped our Constitution and our republic. [Act for America]
Watch the miserable Democrat Raskin beating down and interrupting this 16 year old:
Virginia Governor Signed an Anti-ICE Order and a Top Constitutional Lawyer Just Destroyed It
Kate Steinle's killer walked free in San Francisco because the city refused to hand him to ICE. Now Virginia's governor just signed her own version of that policy.
What a law professor just said about that order should embarrass her completely.
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin didn't mince words when Spanberger signed Executive Order 16 this week. "No surprise: Governor Spanberger continues to put illegal alien criminals over her own constituents," Mullin said.
The order instructs Virginia state employees to demand valid federal warrants before allowing ICE onto Commonwealth property and bars state facilities from being used as staging areas. Federal law – specifically 18 U.S.C. 592 – already prohibits federal armed personnel from stationing themselves at polling places.
That law covers ICE. It was on the books long before Spanberger picked up a pen.
Constitutional scholar Hans von Spakovsky of Advancing American Freedom called it for what it is: "This is political theater. First of all, no warrant is required under federal immigration law to detain individuals. And it is a completely unnecessary provision."
Powell’s shadow Fed majority could threaten jobs, housing and growth
Jay Powell lost the chairmanship. He may still control the reaction function
PETER NAVARRO: Kevin Warsh has now been sworn in as the new Federal Reserve chair. Outgoing Chair Jerome Powell has refused to leave the Fed Board of Governors, breaking with the modern custom that departing Fed chairs leave the Board rather than linger as rival power centers.
The clear danger: Powell will have enough board support to act as Fed shadow chair and force a series of rate hikes down Warsh’s throat.
Never mind that even a single rate hike would be the worst possible response to an oil-price shock. Never mind that two of Jay Powell’s predecessors understood the difference between demand inflation and an oil shock.
When Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990, Alan Greenspan understood that an oil shock can both raise headline inflation and damage growth. His FOMC repeatedly cut the federal-funds rate as the economy weakened.
When oil, foodstuffs, fertilizers and industrial metals all moved sharply higher in 2008 — driven by booming emerging-market demand, constrained supply, thin spare capacity and speculative flows — Ben Bernanke’s Fed likewise cut the federal-funds rate in April. He then held steady in June and refused to launch a recessionary rate-hike campaign into prices the Fed could not drill, refine, mine, plant or ship away.
That is the looming central error. The Fed cannot produce one extra barrel of oil. It cannot reopen a shipping lane. It cannot refine gasoline. It cannot lower diesel costs by crushing mortgage demand in Ohio or forcing a small manufacturer in Pennsylvania to roll over credit at punitive rates.
A Fed rate hike now would rein in demand in response to a supply shock and hit precisely where the economy is already vulnerable. Housing would weaken further. Interest-sensitive manufacturing would suffer.
Small-business credit would tighten. Financial conditions would tighten just as energy prices are eating real incomes. The dollar could strengthen, pressuring exporters.
Navy SEAL who killed Bin Laden condemns Maine Democrat's resurfaced posts mocking wounded soldier
Robert O'Neill, the retired Navy SEAL credited with killing Osama bin Laden, called resurfaced social media posts attributed to Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner "completely barbaric", and challenged Democratic leaders in Congress to say something about it.
O'Neill spoke to Fox News Digital days after a deleted Reddit post resurfaced showing Platner, a combat veteran himself, apparently reacting to a viral video of a soldier wounded in a clash with Taliban fighters. The post attributed to Platner read: "Dumb motherf***** didn't deserve to live."
That quote, aimed at a fellow service member under enemy fire, has rocked Platner's Senate campaign and drawn sharp criticism from veterans and military figures. O'Neill did not mince words about what the post revealed.
