New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has created an army of social-media influencers to help boost his administration, a recent exposé in the Columbia Journalism Review reveals. But while the mayor’s unorthodox media strategy has gotten scrutiny, not enough attention has been paid to the influencers themselves and their views.
Some in the mayor’s coterie are relatively innocuous. But others celebrate the assassination of Charlie Kirk, claim America runs “mass concentration camps,” and make apologies for terrorist attacks targeting synagogues.
Yeah, elections sure do have consequences. Given the moribund state of the Republican Party in New York City, two socialists, Darializa Avila-Chevalier and Claire Valdez, are virtually certain to enter the House of Representatives next January, and they’re already excitedly making plans for the damage they’re going to do to the nation’s largest city, and the nation as a whole, once they get there.

US vice-president JD Vance has worn his religion on his sleeve since converting to the Catholicism in 2019. He recently published a book, Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith, and memorably met the late Pope Francis at the Vatican on Easter Sunday in 2025, a day before the pontiff died.
But his religious identity could take on new weight as he positions himself for a presidential run in 2028, in which a successful campaign would make him only the third Catholic president in US history. Vance’s winding spiritual path – combined with his avowed evangelical roots – have the potential to stymie him, as he seeks to retain the Christian nationalist voters that have sustained Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again (Maga) movement while wooing fellow Catholics.
In 1933, about one-quarter of America’s workforce was unemployed. Hunger and malnutrition were widespread, families had lost homes and savings, and millions were trying to survive an economic catastrophe.
Franklin Roosevelt’s government responded to part of that crisis by paying farmers to destroy things Americans could use.

Nazira Haji Zada, 47, chose to leave the US rather than continue to argue her case before the Alien Terrorist Removal Court, according to the US Department of Justice (DOJ) and her lawyers.
The Alien Terrorist Removal Court was created in 1996, but had never heard a case before the proceedings in July. It is meant for non-US citizens facing terrorism-related charges when the evidence is confidential and related to national security.
They should just try them on the bus as it heads toward the airport.
BROOKLYN, New York — Federal prosecutors are fighting to show Huawei’s jury internal bank records citing alleged links to China’s military and intelligence services, and to play videotaped testimony in which they asked a veteran banking compliance executive about “general concerns about Huawei’s ties to the Iranian military.”
Race-communist and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani was recently exposed for having posted a photo of The Diplomats, a rap group notorious for controversies surrounding the 9/11 terror attacks, in numerous Fourth of July posts.
I fear something awful will befall Mr. Mamdani.
A Chinese national who managed to get a job working as a U.S. Customs and Border Protection supervisor in Calais has been arrested and charged in what FBI agents claim was a plot to install modified hardware in Department of Homeland Security computers.
Terry “Jiajia” Liu — originally of Guangzhou, per his Facebook page — was arrested after a counter intelligence investigation captured hidden-camera footage of him breaking into government computers and modifying the hard drives.
A simple case of theft makes a nice cover for espionage. Hiring foreigners for sensitive positions is suicidal.

I hope Trump cuts him off for this. Canada won’t because our politicians are in on the grift.
OTTAWA – In the escalating controversy over CBC News guidance directing journalists not to describe the al-Qaeda attacks of September 11, 2001, as terrorism, FBI personnel assigned to American diplomatic posts in Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver were instructed to leave their workplaces and go home, according to a U.S. law-enforcement source with knowledge of interagency communications surrounding the incident.

Good luck with that.
