A progressive organization that says it was raided by the FBI is a little-known but integral player in progressive politics in Ohio.
The Ohio Organizing Collaborative is a nonpartisan organization, but works closely with Democrats on issues like voter registration, political organizing and ballot-issue campaigns.
The group was founded in 2007 and has since grown to be one of the most well-funded political organizing operations in the state. The OOC and its political arm, the Ohio Organizing Campaign, together received nearly $55 million from 2020-2024
The US has deported a number of migrants to the Central African Republic, one of the world's poorest and most troubled states, under a controversial deal that allows Washington to deport migrants who cannot be sent back to their home countries.
The flight that took off from Louisiana on Thursday night was carrying some two dozen migrants, including an Iranian pro-democracy activist, her lawyer has said. It landed in Bangui on Friday.
Other migrants set to be on the flight included nationals of Jordan, Armenia, Turkey, Georgia and Afghanistan, according to Ali Rahnama, interim executive director of the Iranian American Legal Defense Fund.
Assistant US Attorney in Calif. blasts

LA Times for calling homeless voter fraud
cases 'unfounded' replies
First Assistant United States Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli slammed the Los Angeles Times on Friday for publishing a report that claimed evidence of homeless voter fraud in the recent primaries was "unfounded."
The Los Angeles Times report noted that no evidence of widespread voter fraud occurred in the city, but that a few homeless people on Skid Row were paid to register to vote and sign ballot petitions.
"The LA Times headline says voter fraud claims are 'unfounded' — then their own reporting confirms it," Essayli posted on X. "Their article documents homeless individuals being paid cash to register to vote. That’s a federal crime."
Iran's rulers might sign a piece of paper -- as Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Chairman Yasser Arafat did with Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin with the 1993 Oslo Accord – but, like the PLO, its fundamental goals will not change.
The regime cannot abandon "Death to America" or "Death to Israel" without dissolving its own reason for being. Leaving it in place only ensures that it will dig its hooks in even deeper -- especially after President Donald J. Trump leaves office and his successor possibly turns to interests more enjoyable than "enforcement."
James Boyard, a senior Haitian government official who oversees key security functions, has been abducted by armed assailants, according to a source cited in an Associated Press report.
Boyard serves as chief of staff for Haiti's Defense Ministry and also holds the position of inspector general within the country's national police force. His apparent kidnapping marks one of the most significant abductions involving a government official in Haiti in recent years.
Gang violence continues to plague the nation, according to reports.
A person with direct knowledge of the case confirmed the incident on Saturday.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has been playing hide the ball with the truth about the disastrous and deadly Pacific Palisades fire and the state's culpability in it since it rekindled on Jan. 7, 2025. This week, the governor lost another court maneuver in his attempt to deny Palisades fire victims the ability to sue the the State of California. On Friday, the California Supreme Court denied Newsom administration's latest stall tactic, that would have required yet another "review and request to stay the Palisades Fire Litigation," according to Trey Robertson, who represents 4,000 Palisades victims. If the court had decided differently,
The Justice Department's Antitrust Division approved Friday the $111 billion merger between Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery, clearing a major regulatory hurdle for one of the most watched sales in recent years.
The two companies signed the paperwork for the deal in February, which will see Paramount acquire Warner Bros., but it still needs final approval from the Trump administration before it can go through.
The Justice Department told Politico that it has conducted an extensive review of the proposed merger and found that it would not stifle competition, despite merging two of the biggest studios in Hollywood and the media.
Court Filings Confirm 'Trump' Has Been

Removed From Kennedy Center 'Signage'
Ahead of New Deadline replies
At least for the moment, it's called The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts again.
On Saturday, officials confirmed in new court filings that President Donald Trump's name has been removed from the Washington, D.C., arts venue named for Pres. Kennedy after his assassination in 1963. In one filing with the judge who ordered Trump's name be taken down, the Center's chief operating officer and executive director, Matt Floca, certified that "all physical signage" has been removed: As we previously wrote, the order made on May 29 by U.S. District Court Judge Christoper R. Cooper stated —
The U.S. State Department has uncovered sophisticated and dangerous “birth tourism” networks from West Africa, Europe, and North Africa exploiting our current unconstitutional “birthright citizenship” system. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is one of the biggest abusers of our idiotic “birthright citizenship” system, but plenty of other bad actors around the world cash in as well. Contrary to the original understanding of the Fourteenth Amendment, America now says any child born on our soil is automatically a citizen, even if his parents just flew into or walked into the country. Unsurprisingly, this has for years encouraged abuses.
Besides the practice of “anchor babies,”
President Trump on Saturday announced his intent to appoint a new US Attorney for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) to replace Jay Clayton.
Earlier this week, President Trump announced the nomination of Jay Clayton, the current US Attorney for the SDNY, to serve as Director of National Intelligence.
Clayton, the former SEC Chairman and current US Attorney for the SDNY will replace Tulsi Gabbard.
On Saturday, President Trump said is will appoint James M. McDonald as the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York.
It's Game On at the White House for the UFC event set to take place there this weekend. D.C. District Judge Amit Mehta (an Obama appointee, FWIW) just body-slammed an eleventh-hour effort to stop President Trump’s White House UFC extravaganza, denying plaintiffs’ request for a temporary restraining order (TRO) or preliminary injunction request outright.
Because everything requires litigation these days (maybe I shouldn't have pivoted from law to media?), plaintiffs in this case filed suit last week in a bid to put a halt to the event.
Another new ‘trend’ emerges: Blacks

on Austin Metcalf’s grave replies
I just wrote about an internet trend in which racist blacks were filming themselves violently assaulting random whites—they’re not the brightest bunch—and accusing the unwitting victims of having something to do with the jury in Karmelo Anthony’s recent trial; these assaults proved to be very popular with their social media followers.
But that was yesterday, and today is a new day, and in the case of these same blacks, they’ve already got a new trend: they’re using AI to edit themselves into a picture with Austin Metcalf’s grave, making it look as though they’re urinating on it. As I understand, it started with this guy: (Snip) I am running out
Sami Winc: So, Victor, California polls or the California election results have come in, and I was wondering your thoughts, especially in LA, because there’s been lots of news this week and discussion about two things: dirty voter rolls, and then the New York Post had an article on how Nithya Raman was part and parcel to funding a social services by $600,000, and then they went out and paid or got homeless people and anybody else they could to register at that address.
And so, my question is this: How many social services do you think have done that?
The Department of the Interior has terminated 43 partnerships with outside organizations that it says no longer align with the Trump administration’s priorities, eliminating more than $4 million in planned funding for programs tied to diversity, equity, and inclusion; environmental justice; and services for illegal immigrants.
Led by Secretary Doug Burgum, the department determined the agreements were “operating in direct opposition” to its mission, according to a press release obtained by Fox News Digital.
Voter ID is very popular with Americans, even Democratic voters.
The numbers are clear, as CNN data analyst Harry Enten explained earlier in 2026. (X) As I wrote in Feb.:
Enten said support for voter ID has been "north of 75 percent" for years. Indeed, in 2025, it was 83 percent. I don't think you have 83 percent agreement on almost anything, so that's phenomenal support.
Democrats also largely support it, he explained, polling at 71 percent. Republicans are at 95 percent.
Even if you break it down by race, the majority still support it, with white people at 85 percent, Latinos at 82 percent, and black people at 76 percent.
The new Europe is going to take some getting used to, but at least it’s clear now what it’s going to be like. Populating it will be people who believe that they have a responsibility to carry out the decrees of the creator of the universe, and they believe that among those decrees is a mandate to kill those who do not believe in that creator unless they submit to the hegemony of his law.
And so in Italy recently, a woman was beheaded, in accord with commands found in the holy book of a rapidly growing segment of Italy’s population, and in case anyone remained determined to miss the point
President Trump on Friday evening announced that the US military delivered a lethal kinetic strike that successfully executed infamous Tren de Aragua leader Niño Guerrero.
Trump blasted Joe Biden for allowing Tren de Aragua terrorists to flood in the US and rape, maim and murder American citizens.
The president said the US military brought justice to the families of those the terrorists slaughtered, including Jocelyn Nungaray and Laken Riley.
Trump said he delivered on a promise to designate Tren de Aragua, a notorious transnational organized crime syndicate from Venezuela, a terrorist organization.
A Georgia man is behind bars and facing charges of aggravated assault after allegedly opening fire on a family gathering last weekend.
According to authorities in Lee County, deputies responded to reports of a shooting around 9:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 7th. When deputies arrived at the scene, they found a "large gathering" as well as one individual suffering from a gunshot wound who was transported to a local hospital. From the Lee County Sheriff's Office Facebook page: The "large gathering" was a family reunion, and one of the family members says the "verbal confrontation" was Kinzer shouting—
Americans spend their lives working to support their loved ones, strengthen their communities, and build our country. Along the way, they entrust their future retirement incomes to 401(k)s, pension funds, or retirement accounts. This places a fiduciary duty on those individuals and organizations whose stewardship over those monies is to maximize the proceeds for retirees and all shareholders.
This duty does not include advancing a leftist political agenda by weaponizing retirees’ lifetimes of hard-earned income against everything they oppose and, moreover, grifting a handsome profit for relinquishing their fiduciary duty in doing so.
When such political shenanigans occur, they are rarely done in full view of retirees,

Community They Serve’. They Should Be
Good at Their Job replies
There is no point grumbling about police racist anti-racist policies until a number of foundational myths upon which these policies are contingent are dismantled. The most beguiling is: the police must be reflective of the community they serve. We have Robert Peel to thank/blame: “The police are the public and the public are the police.” It sounds sweet and sensible. To win the trust of the community, the police should look like the community. Emotionally it makes sense, yet the pale cast of thought reveals it to be a dud.
Chicago’s South Side has an unusual new neighbour. It is 70-metres tall, dressed in grey granite and largely faceless. Rising from verdant Jackson Park, this mass of stone is capped with a message in tall concrete letters: “You are America. Unconstrained by habit and convention. Unencumbered by what is, because you’re ready to seize what ought to be.” (Snip) This glitch is symptomatic of the Obama Center, a place that’s encumbered with its own contradictions. The lavish US$850-million project stands apart from the surrounding low-income neighbourhoods. It honours a leader whose career began with community organizing, but delivers architecture that
Kurt Schlichter's 2024 novel, "The Attack," is an eye-watering what-if scenario of the coming attack on America. The new one will be a 3-day summer attack that will cripple America. The Attack will be a coordinated attack on our government, our infrastructure, and our cyber-capabilities. Why is this novel more worthy than others of our POTUS' attention? Because I believe Schlichter knows things.
"The Attack" is about a highly-coordinated, massive, comprehensive Muslim attack on everything America uses to survive and thrive. Due to the open borders of America and other nations, really, really bad things happened which we are only now seeing.
The Worst of CBS’s 60 Minutes
replies
Ever since his firing from 60 Minutes, Scott Pelley has been on a personal press tour, bellyaching about CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss wrecking - in his belief - one of the last bastions of truth in the news media.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
From the infamous Rathergate - where former CBS News anchor Dan Rather and producer Mary Mapes used forged documents in a hit piece about President George W. Bush’s National Guard Service to correspondent Lesley Stahl dismissing President Donald Trump on Hunter Biden’s laptop – even editing out his responses – the long-running show has abandoned journalistic ethics when it comes to covering conservatives

President Trump announced the finalized Iran deal is expected Sunday.
"Barack Hussein Obama’s Deal with Iran, the JCPOA, was an easy, beautiful, smooth road to a Nuclear Weapon, which Iran would have had six years ago, and would have used long before now. My Agreement with Iran is the exact opposite, A WALL TO NO NUCLEAR WEAPON! In fact, they no longer want a Nuclear Weapon, nor will they have one, either through purchase, development, or any other form of procurement," he wrote on Truth Social.
