I conducted a survey in one NY school I worked in with 900 students and, according to the middle school students, 82% of the homes had guns. Is that representative of the country?

President Donald Trump suggested that he’d be willing to take action if New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani ever moved to block Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from doing their jobs: “Well just have to arrest him.” Trump addressed the issue while touring “Alligator Alcatraz,” a facility in the Florida Everglades that is being restored to house illegal immigrants — and he made it clear that his administration would not tolerate local officials who stood in the way of federal agents attempting to enforce federal laws. Mamdani, a Queens assemblyman and a self-described Democratic Socialist, recently bested disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) and will be the Democratic candidate — and has referred to both Trump and ICE agents as “fascists” and vowed to fight against Trump on a number of issues, including the administration’s efforts to deport criminal illegal aliens. Trump’s response was simple: “Well then we’ll have to arrest him. Look, we don’t need a communist in this country, but if we have one, I’m going to be watching over him very carefully on behalf of the nation. We send him money, we send him all the things that he needs to run a government, and by the way, they get already, they get about three times what you get, Ron.” Trump turned to Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and said that per capita, Florida got approximately one-third of what New York got from the federal government.

He’s got to do right thing. It’s shocking that I would have assumed that. I used to say we will never have a socialist in this country. No, but we’ll have a communist. I mean, he’s a communist, he gonna be mayor of New York,” he said. Border Czar Tom Homan did not appear to be fazed by Mamdani’s threats to block ICE agents, saying, “Game on. We’re coming. He wants to block ICE? We’ll see how that works out for him.”

According to the Defense Intelligence Agency, Iran has supplied the Houthis with weapons and weapon components. “Critical components of various missiles were seized and, upon further analysis, found to share near-identical features with Iranian missile systems. Between 2015 and 2024, the United States and its partners have interdicted at least 20 Iranian smuggling vessels, seizing ballistic, cruise, and surface-to-air missile components, antitank guided missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, and other illicit weapons destined for the Houthis,” the DIA reported, adding, “DIA has released the report to enhance public understanding of Iran’s malign activities and to provide insights into Department of Defense and national security issues. The report advances U.S. intelligence efforts to display the clear connections between Iranian weapons and the weapons used in Houthi attacks.”

Notorious leftist Rosie O’Donnell, who recently left the country due to Trump being elected president, is coming after Oprah for attending the lavish wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez. The comedian stated her complaints as part of an Instagram post. “The Bezos’ wedding. It turned my stomach seeing all these billionaires gathering in the gross excess of it all. The show of it,” O’Donnell wrote in an Instagram post caption on Monday. “Is Oprah friends with Jeff Bezos? Really? How is that possible? He treats his employees with disdain. By any metric he is not a nice man. And his fake fem bot wife who looks like that… Why would he choose her after the salt of the earth Mackenzie [Scott]? Sold his soul is what it looks like from here. The devil is smiling at all his conquests.” Her comments were made after widespread backlash to the over-the-top nuptials in Venice, Italy, over the weekend. Besides just Oprah and her best friend Gayle King, the guest list included plenty of A-list celebrities such as the whole Kardashian clan, Orlando Bloom, Tom Brady, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tommy Hilfiger, Usher, Sydney Sweeney, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, Bill Gates, and others.

So, he’s not welcome here,” another person echoed.

The Trump administration’s Department of Justice (DOJ) issued a memo directing United States’ attorneys to “prioritize” and “pursue” denaturalization proceedings for new citizens who may pose a threat to national security. The memo, issued by Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate to the Justice Department’s Civil Division on June 11, directs lawyers to “prioritize and maximally pursue denaturalization proceedings in all cases permitted by law and supported by the evidence.” The DOJ’s denaturalization efforts will also target “individuals who pose a potential danger to national security, including those with a nexus to terrorism, espionage, or the unlawful export from the United States of sensitive goods, technology, or information raising national security concerns,” the memo explained. The move will also “prevent convicted terrorists from returning to U.S. soil or traveling internationally on a U.S. passport,” Shumate explained. JULY 4 SALE: Get Six Months Of DW+ Free The memo went on to argue that denaturalization proceedings reaffirm the sanctity of citizenship and support “the overall integrity of the naturalization program by ensuring that those who unlawfully procured citizenship, including those who obtained it through fraud or concealment of material information, do not maintain the benefits of the unlawful procurement.” The DOJ successfully denaturalized one man last month after he was convicted of collecting and distributing child sexual abuse material. The man, who identified with the “they/them” pronouns, joined the United States Army while still a citizen of the United Kingdom and gained American citizenship in 2012. The DOJ contended that he lied about his criminal history in order to fraudulently obtain American citizenship. “If you commit serious crimes before you become a U.S. citizen and then lie about them during your naturalization process, the Justice Department will discover the truth and come after you,” Shumate asserted while commenting on the case. The case is part of an ongoing, national effort between the DOJ and ICE to “identify and prosecute sex offenders who have fraudulently obtained United States citizenship.”

Parents are fighting back after their three young three children were expelled from the Nysmith School for the Gifted after they raised concerns about antisemitic bullying and harassment — about which the headmaster and owner of the school, Kenneth R. Nysmith, allegedly did nothing. Parents Brian Vazquez and Ashok Roy filed a lawsuit with the Virginia Attorney General’s Office of Civil Rights against the Nysmith School for the Gifted, Inc., and headmaster Kenneth Nysmith. In it, they alleged that their three children were expelled after they complained about antisemitic bullying and harassment targeting their 11-year-old daughter. “The school had allowed anti-Semitism to take root in her class—in, for example, this picture of a social studies class project depicting the attributes of a ‘strong historical leader’ … That photo, featuring the unmistakable face of Adolf Hitler, was shared with the entire school community. It was followed by a pattern of persistent and severe anti-Semitic harassment of Complainants’ young daughter,” the lawsuit alleges. A northern Virginia private school hung up a Palestinian flag in the school gym and taught the kids that H!tler was a “strong historical leader,” before expelling Jewish kids who complained. pic.twitter.com/sSGphCJTk1 — Marina Medvin ?? (@MarinaMedvin) July 1, 2025 Vazquez and Roy stated that other students began bullying their daughter because she was Jewish shortly after Hamas terrorists murdered more than 1,200 Israelis, raping and torturing men, women, and children on October 7, 2023 — and that they’d informed Mr. Nysmith of the problem at the time. The suit alleges that children at the school put “pro-Palestine stickers on school-issued laptops and lockers” and referred to Jews as “baby-killers” who “deserve to die because of what is happening in Gaza.” “The bullies told their daughter that everyone at the school is against Jews and Israel, which is why they hate you,” the complaint alleges. The complaint was submitted by the complaint Louis D. Brandeis Center.

JULY 4 SALE: Get Six Months Of DW+ Free “Mr. Nysmith promised to take action – but did nothing,” the suit alleges. “A few weeks later, after Mr. Nysmith decided to hang a Palestinian flag in the Nysmith School gym, the harassment of their daughter grew more severe. Complainants notified Mr. Nysmith that harassment of their daughter had become much worse and pleaded for his help. In response, Mr. Nysmith told them to tell their daughter to ‘toughen up’ and abruptly ended the meeting.” It was just two days after that meeting that Vazquez and Roy say they were informed that all three of their children were being expelled from the school. When the family raised concerns about this and other incidents, the school told them to “toughen up.” Two days after that call, all three of their kids were expelled via email—right before mid-semester grades and after nearby schools’ application deadlines had passed. pic.twitter.com/Z9OGSLGcBj — Eitan Fischberger (@EFischberger) July 1, 2025 In the letter terminating the students’ enrollment, the headmaster put the onus on the parents, claiming that he could not see a “path forward” due to the parents’ “profound lack of trust” in both him and the school.
