NYPD Cops Plan to Vote With Their Feet If Mamdani Wins

25,000 people took part in the experiment, and listened as six volunteers were locked in a room overnight.

And yes, it's real.

Seven females — five of them teenagers, two of them adults — are facing charges in the wake of a brawl caught on video outside the Maryland State Fair, Baltimore County police told WJZ-TV.Charged in connection with the assault and public disturbance were four 14-year-olds, a 15-year-old, and two adults — Melika Gamble-Thomas, 33, and Tiera Gamble, 37 — police told the station.'These children come out in groups, and they try to cause havoc or whatever. It's a shame.'Both Gamble-Thomas and Gamble were taken into custody on open warrants, WBFF-TV reported.Police launched an investigation after video of the brawl began circulating on social media in late August, WJZ reported.The video shows one teen girl being dragged by her hair. Police told WJZ the brawl involved at least a dozen other teens.Officers at the fair said several arrests were made, but some suspects fled the scene in a car, WJZ said, adding that some officers suffered minor injuries while responding to the brawl.The group of teens may have been denied entry to the fair over its unaccompanied minor policy, Maryland State Fair General Manager Andy Cashman told WJZ. The fair's unaccompanied minor policy, instituted in 2024, stipulates that minors can't enter the fair without an adult, WJZ said, adding that one adult can chaperone up to six minors."It's been a problem," Cashman told WJZ. "These children come out in groups, and they try to cause havoc or whatever. It's a shame." WBFF said officers responded around 8:30 p.m. Aug. 30 to the 2200 block of York Road in Timonium for reports of an assault.Authorities told WBFF the brawl reportedly began at the fairgrounds and ended in a nearby parking lot.The mother of the girl dragged by her hair told WBFF that "she had drag marks all up her body; she had bruises on her face" and added, "I wanted to talk to the parents to see, like, why, what was going on? Why did you allow this to happen, to find some reasoning in it ..."Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

On Monday, October 6, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James teased a big announcement. Pitching it as “the Second Decision” — a parody of his infamous 2010 ESPN special where he revealed leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Miami Heat — NBA fans held their breath in anticipation that the 40-year-old basketball veteran would either announce his retirement or a change in teams.But no.It turns out the big reveal has nothing to do with basketball at all. LeBron’s big announcement turned out to be a promotional campaign for a limited-edition Hennessy V.S.O.P cognac bottle collaboration, which will feature his signature “crowning” gesture.Needless to say, basketball fans are infuriated. The manipulative clickbait marketing left them feeling emotionally exploited, especially considering LeBron’s recent hints at an impending end to his NBA career.But Jason Whitlock is frustrated by something else: LeBron is yet again leaning deliberately into black stereotypes for marketing gain. “If he was going to lean into a stereotype, at least he didn't lean into watermelon,” he scoffs.“This is maddening,” says “Fearless” contributor Steve Kim, who was excited at the prospect of LeBron finally retiring or leaving the Lakers.“He just won't go away, Whitlock. We're stuck with this guy,” he sighs.Jason is ready for the LeBron mania to fizzle out, too, but for him, it’s less about basketball and more about LBJ’s impact on culture. He’s tired of the “Bronsexuals” — James’ most ardent, overly defensive fans who exhibit an intense, almost obsessive loyalty to him — “[pretending] like LeBron is some genius, that LeBron is some influencer that's ahead of the conversation.”“I'm not sure if this dude can read, write, comprehend,” says Jason.“This guy's got one of the biggest brands in all of America and he's ... [using] it to promote Hennessy” — the most “ghetto liquor in the world?” he asks.The marketing ploy also proves that LeBron has learned nothing from his past mistakes. The original “Decision,” during which he announced his transition to Miami, was not received well by fans.“He got ripped and destroyed from that, and you would think that he would learn a lesson from that and that 15 years later, he wouldn't be doing something to draw comparisons to ['the Decision'] and then to do something equally as small,” says Jason.He can only assume that LeBron’s handlers — Adam Mendelsohn, Rich Paul, and Maverick Carter — are just as cognitively stunted as the drama king himself.“They can't talk LeBron out of leaning into brown liquor stereotypes?” asks Jason, baffled.He assumes that LeBron’s Hennessy collab will be defended by the usual tactic of playing the race card: “Anyone that criticizes this will be either an Uncle Tom or sellout like me, or they'll be a racist.”Now that LeBron’s retirement is no longer on the table, Jason and Steve fear that the aging athlete will play until he’s 50 years old.“He's certainly going to play until he can force his other son into the NBA,” says Jason.“That might drive me to Hennessy,” Steve laughs.To hear more of the conversation, watch the video above.Want more from Jason Whitlock?To enjoy more fearless conversations at the crossroads of culture, faith, sports, and comedy with Jason Whitlock, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

Republican Rep. Brandon Gill of Texas is doing his part to ramp up deportation efforts across the country.Gill introduced landmark legislation on Wednesday that would effectively close loopholes and expand expedited removal authority to cover violent criminal aliens, according to bill text obtained exclusively by Blaze News. The bill also mandates the detention and expedited removal of violent criminals, gang members, and terrorists while also ensuring they are unable to abuse asylum protections. 'Democrat leaders invited them to invade our county en masse.'The current law primarily limits expedited removal to migrants who recently crossed within 100 miles of the border and within 14 days of entry. Because of existing loopholes and procedures, criminal aliens are often sorted into slower and more standard removal proceedings.In contrast, Gill's legislation addresses the removal of criminal aliens with urgency.

FALLON/AFP via Getty Images"Our number one priority should be to protect American communities," Gill told Blaze News. "America should never be a safe haven for gang members, terrorists, or violent offenders.""Yet, Democrat leaders invited them to invade our county en masse," Gill added. "Serious crimes require decisive consequences. My bill backs President Trump's efforts to capture and deport violent illegal aliens quickly at the behest of Americans across the nation who want their families to thrive in a safe society."

Since President Donald Trump took office in January, migrant encounters have plummeted to historic lows, with illegal crossings across the United States-Mexico border dropping to the lowest levels in over half a century. Gill indicated his legislation would continue this trend and help codify Trump's immigration policy. Like Blaze News?
