Iran out of patience?
A defensive Mayor Zohran Mamdani tried to downplay his international affairs commissioner’s boneheaded attempted meeting with the anti-US Iranian ambassador — as he faced heat from aghast GOP lawmakers Friday. Mamdani said he never knew about Commissioner Ana Maria Archila’s scheduled — and thwarted — confab this week with Amir-Saeid Iravani, Iran’s permanent representative to the United Nations, until he received a press inquiry about it.
He repeatedly stressed the sitdown never took place and chalked it up to a scheduling snafu.
“The commissioner recognizes that this was made in error and we’re working on a new process
The rate at which Islam is growing in the United States is alarming because of the totalitarian nature of the political, social, economic, and religious doctrines of Islam. Mosques are appearing everywhere, even in the reddest of red states. They have increased by over 30% since 2010.
Islamic communities that support Sharia law are popping up in numerous states, and most shockingly, in Arkansas under Governor Sanders. The Islamic Center of Little Rock states on its website that its movement began in 1979 with just a couple of dozen Muslim families in the area. They started out by converting an old theater into their first mosque. They also met
Rep. Chris Pappas (D.), running for Senate in New Hampshire on an "anti-corruption" agenda against "corporate special interests" in Washington, serves on a House committee that oversees Uber, where his husband, a former lobbyist, serves in an executive policy role.
Pappas, a member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, is married to Vann Bentley, a policy manager for cybersecurity and privacy at Uber who previously worked as a lobbyist for Amazon, according to his LinkedIn profile. That poses a potential conflict of interest for Pappas because of Uber's aggressive lobbying activity, including on bills spearheaded by the transportation committee. Uber has spent $1.5 million on lobbying in the
A senior official in socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's administration had planned to meet with an Iranian envoy, until the meeting was reportedly shut down by the State Department. Commissioner Ana María Archila, who is the leader of the Office of International Affairs for the Mamdani administration, was slated to meet with Iran’s representative to the United Nations, Amir-Saeid Iravani.
However, after the State Department became aware of the meeting between Archila and Iravani, the meeting was called off and State Department officials met with Mamdani officials to clarify
A former Barack Obama press secretary was fired from his chief communications role in Minneapolis after allegedly stealing cash and credit cards from city employees to fuel his habit for kratom — a natural drug used to treat opioid withdrawal.
Adam Fetcher, 42, was canned from his role as Chief Communications Officer (CCO) for the City of Minneapolis after just a year on the job amid a police investigation into internal workplace theft and fraud, as well as claims of substance abuse, the Minnesota Star Tribune reported.
Fetcher, who made nearly $200,000 a year, is accused of stealing cash and credit cards out of the desks and
A new report sparked backlash over the rapid growth of the United Kingdom’s Muslim population.
Muhammad was the top baby name in England and Wales in 2025, the Office for National Statistics posted Thursday. This marks the third year in a row that name topped the charts.
“‘Muhammad’ has comfortably topped the list for the most popular boy name for the third year running,” Restore Britain leader Rupert Lowe posted. “You can call me Islamophobic, I really don’t care … This is awful and demonstrates the rapidly changing demographics of our country.”
Bored kids with nothing much to do this summer just got a big gift from Virginia Democrats – starting about 10 days ago, they've apparently been able to legally purchase marijuana. And that's because the Democrats who run the General Assembly, and the one who occupies the Governor's Mansion, passed and signed a budget last month that rescinded all criminal law pertaining to the sale of marijuana effective July 1, 2026. The only problem is the new laws they crafted regulating the weed market don't go into effect until July 1, 2027, per their budget. That leaves an entire year of marijuana mayhem in ye olde Commonwealth.
Kristi Noem is allegedly ending her 34-year marriage after her husband’s secret fetish life spilled into public view.
The former Department of Homeland Security (DHS) secretary plans to divorce her husband, Bryon Noem, and he has moved out of their Castlewood, South Dakota, home, her mother, Corinne Arnold, told the Daily Mail. No divorce paperwork has appeared in South Dakota court records, the New York Post reported, and Noem herself has not confirmed the split.

There are no working class socialists. DSA members are time and time again coming from the most privileged backgrounds.
Take Daniel Moraff, a DSA organizer and the Massachusetts field director for Bernie Sanders whom many on the left are blaming for the Graham Platner disaster. Moraff was behind the campaign of Rep. Summer Lee and helped get her through a competitive Democrat primary before she dumped him over alleged sexual misconduct. The radical leftist Payday Report article spends a lot of time on background trying to smear Moraff, but fails to specify what the actual misconduct was, but it does drop the fact that Moraff is the grandson of

WASHINGTON — The Manhattan prosecutor who led the “hush money” case against President Trump, in which the 45th and 47th president was convicted of 34 counts of falsifying business records, played a larger role in the federal cases against the commander in chief than previously known.
Matthew Colangelo joined Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s team in December 2022 after resigning as principal deputy associate attorney general. Colangelo previously served as acting associate attorney general, the third-ranked post in the Biden Justice Department.
Defenders of Colangelo tried to distance him from Trump-related activities at the DOJ, but calendar records obtained by conservative watchdog America First Legal and shared with
It’s one of those horrible times when we regret to inform you that the thing that the left promises you never happens has happened, again. And it claimed a life in the process.
According to multiple reports, Bekhzod Asrarov — an immigrant from the predominantly Muslim Asian country of Uzbekistan who came to the United States under Joe Biden’s administration — is being charged with a felony after the commercial truck he was driving rammed a car from behind and he allegedly attempted to destroy and hide evidence from police.
What’s more, Asrarov’s English was apparently so terrible that he needed a Google translation app on his phone
Vice President JD Vance is leasing part of a sprawling, multimillion-dollar property in rural Virginia to serve as an additional residence for his family, two people familiar with the matter told CNN.
The new rental residence is part of the historic Wolver Hill Farm, which spans nearly 500 acres on the outskirts of Middleburg, Virginia, a wealthy enclave located a little more than an hour drive from Washington, DC.
Wolver Hill Farm is owned by a firm led by Charles Kuhn, the founder of a moving company that has moved several presidents into and out of the White House, including President Donald Trump. The company is also a longtime government contractor.

A Minnesota daycare center owner featured in YouTuber Nick Shirley’s viral video showcasing alleged bogus childcare facilities has admitted that she defrauded the US government out of millions of dollars — which she used, in part, to buy up real estate.
Fahima Mahamud, CEO of Future Leaders Early Learning Center in Minneapolis — which was featured in Shirley’s December video round-up of questionable facilities around the Twin Cities — pleaded guilty Thursday to one count of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to defraud the US.
According to prosecutors, between October 2022 and November 2025, Mahamud filed claims for more than $4.6 million from the Child Care Assistance

21 years ago, The Guardian reported that by the year 2020:

2️⃣ European ships would routinely pass through the Arctic to reach Asia
3️⃣ Polar bear populations would decline
4️⃣ Snow would disappear from the tops of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya
I've written a few of these articles at this point. There was this one with a run-down of what Democratic Socialists want. And there was this one based on a Thomas Edsall column saying the DSA were really just pretending to be working class.
Today the Washington Post business section has an article which, similar to the first one linked above, walks through the differences between mainstream Dems and the DSA. For instance, on how many hours people should work:
The 40-hour workweek has been the law since 1940. Although some Democrats have advocated a shorter workweek, they are largely content to focus

Senate Run on Vulgar Note – '*ICE. Free Palestine.' replies
All of you mean conservatives won't have Graham Platner to kick around anymore, as he's just officially dropped out of the Maine Senate race. He detailed his withdrawal in a letter dated Friday to Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows (who, by the way, is running to replace him on the Democrat ticket), saying, “I write to formally withdraw my candidacy for United States Senate," adding that “my name may have been on the ballot, but that ballot line belongs to the people of Maine.”
Platner was expected to make things official on Monday, but opted for the age-old political tactic of dropping big news on a Friday afternoon
On Friday, Turning Point USA (TPUSA) contributor Jack Posobiec, in an on-the-spot interview with Turning Point USA's Taylor Hansen, gave some vivid details of another video shown in the preliminary hearing of Tyler Robinson, who is accused of the murder of TPUSA's Charlie Kirk.
The new video reportedly shows the Kirk assassin actually moving into position and taking the shot. The X post reads:

Armed Surface Warship, 28,000 Ton Admiral Nakhimov replies
Russia’s nuclear-powered Kirov-class battlecruiser Admiral Nakhimov, is entering the final stretch of its return to operational service.
It is currently undergoing sea trials following a decade-long overhaul at the Sevmash Shipyard, and represents the most extensive modernization program ever attempted on a Russian combat ship. Once fully operational, the revamped vessel is set to become the centerpiece of Russia’s Northern Fleet, boasting upgraded combat systems, advanced sensors, and next-generation missile arrays designed to project power for decades to come. The Kirov class remains the heaviest class of surface combatants in service anywhere in the world.
At the same time as Dept of Labor Inspector General Anthony D’Esposito launches an investigation into H1B visa abuses by corporations who engaged in visa fraud, Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh appoints advisors to the FED on labor policy that includes one of the most egregious violators of H1B fraud, XBox CEO Asha Sharma.

The US on Friday sailed an armada of warships — including two aircraft carriers – near Iran just two days after President Trump suggested he may reinstate the blockade on Iranian ports.
”Today, more than 20 US Navy warships are patrolling waters across the Middle East as CENTCOM forces continue promoting regional security and stability,” US Central Command posted to X on Friday morning. Shortly after, maritime trackers spotted the USS Abraham Lincoln and USS George H.W. Bush entering the Gulf of Oman — a move experts in military planning say would be necessary to re-establish the blockade that crippled the Iranian economy.
President Donald Trump is reportedly preparing for what could become a prolonged military campaign against Iran over the Strait of Hormuz, with the White House weighing additional military options as Tehran continues threatening commercial shipping through the strategic waterway, according to reports Thursday.
The latest deliberations come after two consecutive nights of U.S. strikes against Iranian military targets following Trump’s declaration Wednesday that the U.S.-brokered ceasefire and memorandum of understanding with Tehran were “over” after Iran attacked commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Speaking aboard Air Force One Wednesday night while returning from the NATO summit in Ankara, Trump said Iran wanted to negotiate but
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) sparked alarm on the left this week when it was reported that he and fellow Pennsylvania Sen. David McCormick (R-PA) set up a joint fundraising committee. (Snip) Fetterman’s battle against the rising Democratic Socialists in his party and fierce support for Israel have left him at odds with progressives and many in the Democratic Party, leading to speculation he may switch to the GOP amid the tight battle for control of the Senate. Fox News’s liberal host Jessica Tarlov highlighted Fetterman’s recent teaming up with McCormick and replied, “So so bad.” Rick Wilson, the longtime political
Communist influencer Hasan Piker went off on War Secretary Pete Hegseth and FOX News in one of his recent streams and said things about Hegseth that would probably give him grounds for a lawsuit.
Piker said that Hegseth has Nazi tattoos, which is so false that it’s absurd. But he also called Hegseth a rapist, which is libelous.
Piker clearly thinks he is untouchable. Hegseth may want to remind him that he isn’t.
Piker began his rant by going after FOX News.
Via Mediaite:
During the scathing attack on Fox News, Piker said, “Fox News is RapeTV, okay? It’s the pro-rape network.
