Mamdani’s Dangerous Dream › American Greatness– amgreatness.com

Excerpt:

The Democratic (read: communist) frontrunner in New York City’s mayoral race, Zohran Mamdani, has made clear his intention to strip citizens of the right to armed self-defense—a position more radical than that of the Soviet Union.

While his proposals to abolish private property and his leniency toward criminal behavior are well known, one of the most chilling elements of his platform is captured in a simple declaration: “We need to ban all guns.”

Not only is this tragically misguided, but it also shows a staunch disrespect for the American way and carries historically ominous implications. The disarmament of civilians has constituted the first step in totalitarian communist regimes throughout history. Mao Zedong, Fidel Castro, and Kim Il-sung all banned firearms before consolidating authoritarian control and ushering in the deaths of millions. Adolf Hitler ruthlessly took advantage of an existing gun registry in the lead-up to the Nazi Party takeover of Germany.

“All political power comes from the barrel of a gun. The Communist Party must command all the guns; that way, no guns can ever be used to command the party,” said Mao Zedong.

Mamdani’s position as mayor obviously won’t allot the power necessary to start a revolution, but the 468 square miles of New York City will undoubtedly undergo a devastating crime wave if he strips New York City residents of their Second Amendment rights—and the data proves it.

Trump’s EU Trade Deal Was So Tremendous, American Media Outlets Are Criticizing It for Being Too Good– www.westernjournal.com

Excerpt:

The mainstream media’s reaction to President Donald Trump’s trade agreement with the European Union was priceless, as multiple outlets had to admit he got the better end of the deal and achieved a huge victory.

Axios led the way with an article titled “Trump trade deals prove access to the U.S. still matters above all else,” stating that “in the Trump-dominated global economy, the U.S. gets plenty but gives nothing in return.”

They also highlighted “how far foreign leaders will go to safeguard access to the U.S. market,” and called the massive investments from the EU “eye-popping.”

The deal imposes a 15 percent tariff on almost all goods entering the U.S. from the E.U. and requires them to make massive investments in American energy.

Ursula von der Leyen, president of the E.U.’s European Commission, said Europe will purchase $750 billion worth of U.S. energy as part of the deal, in addition to making $600 billion of investments in other U.S. endeavors.

The New York Times seemed dumbfounded with their Tuesday headline: “Europe Made Major Trade Concessions to Trump. How Did That Happen?”

Excerpt:

A freelance reporter who plays a leading role in the Wall Street Journal‘s coverage of Hezbollah has repeatedly praised the terrorist group while condemning “the Israeli enemy,” a Washington Free Beacon analysis has found.

Adam Chamseddine, a Beirut-based reporter, has written or contributed to more than three dozen reports as a freelance contributor for the Journal since last year, including providing coverage of the funeral of slain Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. Chamseddine was also the lead reporter for a story on Israel’s use of pagers to assassinate Hezbollah commanders. And he was one of the reporters for a Journal story last week that Iran is rearming its “militia allies,” like Hezbollah and Yemen’s Houthis.

While writing for the Journal, Chamseddine, a former reporter for the pro-Hezbollah newspaper As-Safir, has expressed stark anti-Israel views while hailing groups like Hezbollah and Hamas.

He has referred to “the Israeli enemy” in multiple social media posts, according to English translations of his missives, written in Arabic. After Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel, Chamseddine asserted that “female journalists are dismembered by direct Israeli targeting” and criticized what he said was “Israeli criminality” in response to the Hamas attack, while making no similar condemnation of the terrorist group. He touted an interview “for those who want to understand the Hamas movement” with Tarek Hamoud, the head of the Palestinian Return Centre, which has reportedly been linked to Hamas.

During an interview on Fox News Sunday, host Shannon Bream asked Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) whether a special counsel was warranted following Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s release of documents alleging that former President Barack Obama led the effort to weaponize U.S. intelligence agencies against Donald Trump in 2016.

“Well, you know, the allegations and the conspiracy theories by Tulsi Gabbard would be sad if they weren’t so dangerous,” Crow replied. “She has turned herself into basically a weapon of mass distraction, is what I’ve been calling it, because it’s very clear what’s happening here. She’s trying to curry favor and get back into favor with Donald Trump, and has concocted these theories to do so.”

He added, “But let’s be really clear here that the Russian investigation and allegations of Russian interference into the election, have been the most examined and reexamined finding in the intelligence community history. There have been four investigations, including a bipartisan Senate investigation led under the first Trump administration and led in part by Marco Rubio. That was very, very clear on these findings.”

One of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded struck off the coast of Russia on Wednesday, injuring several people, according to local authorities.

The 8.8 magnitude earthquake’s epicentre was around 119 kilometres from the Russian city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, which has a population of 180,000, on the Kamchatka peninsula.

Tsunami waves reached as high as 10-15 metres in some sections of the Kamchatka coast, according to Russia’s Oceanography Institute.

Scientists expect aftershocks at magnitudes of up to 7.5, according to the local branch of the Russian Emergency Ministry. It said more tsunamis are possible near the regional capital of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.

Head of the regional health department Oleg Melnikov said several people were hurt as they left buildings and a hospital patient was injured. A local kindergarten was also reportedly damaged. All injured were in stable condition, Melnikov said.

As New York City grapples with the aftermath of a deadly mass shooting that claimed the lives of four people, including an NYPD officer, Zohran Mamdani, the radical Democrat mayoral nominee, is facing renewed scrutiny over his controversial pledge to “disband” a key police unit.

The pledge, made during his mayoral campaign, has drawn sharp criticism, especially in light of the tragic events that unfolded in Midtown Manhattan on Monday.

Mamdani, currently in Uganda celebrating his wedding, has been vocal in the past about his support for defunding the police.

As a candidate for mayor, he has softened his anti-police rhetoric.

However, his previous pledge to dismantle the New York Police Department’s (NYPD) Strategic Response Group (SRG) remains a point of contention.

The SRG is a specialized unit within the NYPD responsible for responding to civil disorders, riots, and significant public safety events.

House Oversight denies immunity for Ghislaine Maxwell in upcoming deposition | The Post Millennial– thepostmillennial.com

“The Oversight Committee will respond to Ms. Maxwell’s attorney soon, but it will not consider granting congressional immunity for her testimony.”

Ghislaine Maxwell’s request for congressional immunity in exchange for her testimony has reportedly been denied. This comes as the House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed Maxwell, who is set to appear in a hearing on August 11.

A spokesperson for the committee told the Daily Mail, “The Oversight Committee will respond to Ms. Maxwell’s attorney soon, but it will not consider granting congressional immunity for her testimony.”

Maxwell’s lawyer, David Markus, sent a document for the letter demanding that conditions be met in exchange for her testimony. “Public reports—including your own statements—indicate that the committee intends to question Ms. Maxwell in prison and without a grant of immunity. Those are non-starters,” the letter stated.

“Ms. Maxwell cannot risk further criminal exposure in a politically charged environment without formal immunity. Nor is a prison setting conducive to eliciting truthful and complete testimony. The potential for leaks from such a setting creates real security risks and undermines the integrity of the process,” the letter continued.

Mary Washington Monument Vandalized With Apparent Antifa Graffiti– thefederalist.com

Excerpt:

A historical monument in Fredericksburg, Virginia, commemorating George Washington’s mother was vandalized this past weekend with what appear to be Antifa writings.

The revelation came to light on Monday, when the Washington Heritage Museum disclosed in a Facebook post that the Mary Washington Monument was graffitied on two sides. Pictures released by the organization show one side covered in writing that seemingly reads, “Antifa,” while the other is marked with what appears to be an Antifa “A” symbol.

The monument is located near the University of Mary Washington and Meditation Rock, where Mary “prayed for the safety of her son and country during the dark days of the Revolution.”

As The Federalist has previously reported, Antifa is a far-left organization whose often-violent members routinely operate throughout the United States. The group has been linked to destructive activities like the defacing of public property, including historical monuments.

Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted accomplice and girlfriend of child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, is threatening to withhold critical information during her testimony before the House Oversight Committee, unless her demands are met.

Maxwell is due to appear before congressional investigators following a subpoena that was issued last week.

The deposition is part of ongoing efforts by Congress to investigate the full extent of Epstein’s sex crimes and the individuals involved.

Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year sentence for her role in procuring underage girls for Epstein’s sex trafficking operation and personal abuse, has submitted a letter to House Oversight Chairman James Comer.

Her letter outlines three major conditions before she would agree to testify before Congress.

In the letter, Maxwell’s legal team argues that they need formal immunity for her testimony.

 

FDA’s top vaccine official Vinay Prasad resigns after Loomer campaign against him– www.washingtonexaminer.com

Excerpt:

Dr. Vinay Prasad, a top Food and Drug Administration official, stepped down from his position on Tuesday after being accused by right-wing activist Laura Loomer of being a “progressive, left-wing” figure seeking to sabotage the Trump administration.

Prasad was appointed by FDA Commissioner Marty Makary in May to be director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research. He was also appointed last month to be the agency’s chief medical and science officer.

Despite garnering conservatives’ support over matters such as his skepticism of COVID-19 vaccines and criticism of pandemic-era mask mandates, Prasad recently drew outrage from factions of the Republican Party, including Loomer, who disagreed with his approach to approving gene therapies for rare diseases and accused him of holding liberal views.

Amid the controversy, the Department of Health and Human Services confirmed this week that Prasad stepped down as the FDA’s top vaccine and gene therapy regulator and chief medical and scientific officer.

“Dr. Prasad did not want to be a distraction to the great work of the FDA in the Trump administration and has decided to return to California and spend more time with his family,” a DHS spokesperson said of Prasad, who is also a hematologist-oncologist at the University of California, San Francisco. “We thank him for his service and the many important reforms he was able to achieve in his time at the FDA.”

In their scramble to find a lifeline, something, anything with any purchase on Donald Trump, Democrats rediscovered Jeffrey Epstein.

Indeed, after years of silence on the matter, in which their kind dominated the highest perches in America – Hollywood, academia, the intelligence community, the military, corporate boardrooms, Congress and the White House – the official communications arm of the party is now tweeting Epstein bait into the public discourse.

It’s because they’re facing a conflagration of their own making. 

Even as the popularity of Trump’s major initiatives loses steam, nothing they say or do seems to increase their own national popularity. So they have broken the emergency glass and grabbed hold of the Epstein Files.

If it smells like desperation, it’s because that’s exactly what it is. It’s also not entirely without merit. 

Millions Double Enrolled in Taxpayer-Funded Coverage: Analysis– thefederalist.com

Excerpt:

Earlier this year, The Federalist highlighted a Wall Street Journal investigation that found taxpayers had spent billions paying for individuals who had enrolled in Medicaid in multiple states simultaneously. The kicker is not surprising but still shocking: As bad as the Journal exposé seemed, the reality is worse.

A new investigation increased both the number of enrollees with duplicate forms of taxpayer-funded coverage and the amount taxpayers are paying for such unnecessary double-dipping. It provides an example — one of many — to rebut leftist claims that the recently passed budget reconciliation bill will somehow destroy the safety net.

The Journal analysis of Medicaid data from 2019 to 2021 found taxpayers spent $4.3 billion over three years, providing duplicate coverage to an average of 660,000 people per year. The Trump administration recently examined what happened after four years of Biden administration policies, designed to promote enrollment in taxpayer-funded coverage at all costs.

The analysis by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) of 2024 enrollment data concluded that, last year, “an average of 1.2 million Americans each month were enrolled” in Medicaid in multiple states — nearly double the level of duplicate enrollment cited by the Journal in the opening years of the Biden presidency. Moreover, CMS also noted that another “1.6 million Americans each month were enrolled in both Medicaid” and taxpayer-subsidized coverage on the insurance Exchange plans.

“My heart hurts,” Spellerberg said. “It’s a tragedy. We pray for every person involved.”

Trump Puts GOP Senators On Notice Over Judicial Nominees: ‘Step Up’– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Excerpt:

President Donald Trump expressed his frustration with Republican Senate leaders over the lack of votes on his judicial nominees, including his nominees for federal judgeships and U.S. attorney positions. With the August recess fast approaching, the Republican-controlled Senate has confirmed a historically low number of judicial nominees.

As of this report, just one Article III judge has been confirmed by the U.S. Senate when Judge Whitney D. Hermandorfer was confirmed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. There are currently 11 nominations awaiting Senate action, three for the courts of appeals and eight for the district courts.

The pace of judicial confirmations in Trump’s second term is historically slow. For comparison, the average number of judicial confirmations by this point in a term stands at 11, with former President Barack Obama having 26 of his nominees confirmed by July 29.

In a lengthy Truth Social post, President Trump pressed Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) to pick up the pace. “Chuck Grassley, who I got re-elected to the U.S. Senate when he was down, by a lot, in the Great State of Iowa, could solve the ‘Blue Slip’ problem we are having with respect to the appointment of Highly Qualified Judges and U.S. Attorneys, with a mere flick of the pen,” the president wrote, adding that Senate Democrats are determined to block any and all nominees.

Soros-funded prosecutor Steve Descano and Fairfax County’s booming brothel industry– www.washingtonexaminer.com

FALLS CHURCH, Virginia — Prostitution is illegal in the state of Virginia, but dozens of brothels nevertheless operate openly in Fairfax County alone, according to local officials.

How did the state’s largest municipality, a wealthy and highly educated suburb of Washington, D.C., become a sanctuary county for pimps, madams, and whorehouse operators? All signs point to the Commonwealth’s attorney, self-styled progressive prosecutor Steve Descano.

County police say their “hands are tied” when it comes to known prostitution businesses, and it seems that the man tying their hands is Descano.

Descano has not explicitly announced the decriminalization of prostitution, but one can better understand the county’s booming prostitution industry by considering Descano’s record of selective enforcement, his policy of not prosecuting most misdemeanors, and his stated willingness to ignore laws that he disagrees with.
