In the immediate aftermath of the New York congressional primaries, the Elitist Media evening news rushed to crown socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani as a powerful kingmaker standing astride the city like a powerful Colossus. Several subsequent ill-advised forays into foreign policy have left the mayor exposed. Quite conveniently, the evening news appear to have lost their collective interest in Mamdani.Mamdani has made recent headlines for his expressed interest in ordering the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pursuant to a warrant from the International Criminal Court. Below is a recent exchange with Lulu García-Navarro of The New York Times: 

On Thursday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio claimed “the very idea that far-left terrorism could be a serious threat is treated as a right-wing fever dream, or worse, as a dangerous fascist conspiracy.” On Thursday night, there was no mention of this speech on evening newscasts of ABC, CBS, NBC, or PBS. PBS did feature eight minutes for former Trump legal aide Ty Cobb unspooling conspiracy theories about Trump spoiling the midterms.National Review writer and author Noah Rothman has a new book out titled Blood and Progress: A Century of Left-Wing Violence in America, which explains how the media and their chosen extremism “experts” combine to claim there’s not a serious amount of left-wing political violence. Managing Editor Curtis Houck and I explored the phenomenon with him.On NPR's Morning Edition, Odette Yousef, their so-called Domestic Extremism Correspondent, offered some coverage of this speech -- but she shamelessly sought to rebut Rubio, dismissing his entire argument: “The data have consistently shown what Islamist extremism and right-wing extremism have accounted for a far larger share of violence than the left wing.” That’s some interesting blur, that somehow pro-Hamas extremism is not on the Left. October 7 could be a "far right" attack abroad? NPR has a record of promoting left-wing violence and insurrection. ln 2020, NPR’s blog "Code Switch," with the slogan "Race in Your Face," posted an interview promoting a new book titled In Defense of Looting. On The NPR Politics Podcast in 2021, they promoted a book by Yale law professor Elizabeth Hinton saying that protests against police shouldn’t be called riots; they should be called ‘rebellions.’ On NPR’s Fresh Air in 2023, the movie critic John Powers praised the movie How to Blow Up a Pipeline, hailing it as a "hugely timely" message on climate change. You could see the contrast in the coverage of riots in 2020 and in 2021. While they blurred the post-Floyd race riots into a "rebellion" framework, the January 6 riot was presented as a horrific example of right-wing violence. The creation of a special House Committee on January 6, the Pelosi-Picked Panel, refused to seat any Republican who would focus on left-wing violence in 2020. That was banned from the proceedings. This blatant framing exemplifies the Left's double standard on political violence.A truly nonpartisan news media would discourage political violence of all stripes -- left, right, and just mentally disturbed. Rothman's book compares today's America to previous outbreaks of leftist violence, in the Woodrow Wilson era and in the late 1960s and 1970s.Enjoy the podcast below. The audio is here. 

Screenshot via 'Ive Had It'/Snapstream Far-left charlatans and I’ve Had It podcast co-hosts Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan told their listeners and viewers on Monday that Republicans are a “cabal of submissive wives” collectively “incapable of critical thinking” because they “cling to money, and racism as their driving ethos” and shudder under their widespread closeted homosexuality. If that wasn’t enough of a Mad-Libs-like potpourri of sniveling punditry, they baselessly accused First Lady Melania Trump of having been a sex slave for disgraced child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and that she met now-President Trump in the 1990s because Epstein “assigned and/or passed” her “on.” Their edition of I’ve Had It Podcast News began with Welch complaining about a Republican strategist as having told Axios the GOP’s midterm strategy will be winning over voters by having them “hate” Democrats.  Jennifer Welch on why Democrats should never reach out to Republicans...“Republicans are a personality type that are incapable of critical thinking, that cling to money and racism as their driving ethos, and to shield from their greed and to shield from their just abject… pic.twitter.com/KFcpBMaAk4— Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) July 20, 2026 Welch immediately launched into why Democrats should “quit trying to get Republican” votes: Republicans are a personality type that are incapable of critical thinking, that cling to money and racism as their driving ethos, and to shield from their greed and to shield from their just abject immorality. They — Christian signal. Oh, family values. Oh, my God, these trans people. So, that’s why you hear Donald Trump saying all the time, it’s trans everything. It’s transgender for everybody. It wouldn’t be a podcast without accusing Republican men of femininity: “Trump and his cabal of submissive wives are terrified of drag queens of books, of diversity, of black people, of women, of lesbians, of gay people, of trans people. These people are the softest people imaginable.” Shifting to a New York Times report the FBI will no longer be investigating “ICE confrontations,” Welch asserted that supporting such policy is coming from “pathological liars” “who lecture everybody about family values and, you know, we’re a Christian nation.”  WATCH: Jennifer Welch says Republicans are “pathological liars” as well as “morally inferior and morally depraved human beings” who “want a system that’s rigged for white people”...“[T]his is the Republican Party. This is their religion. This is their faith. The people who… pic.twitter.com/FUkkiacWpK— Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) July 20, 2026 The supposedly brave, tough badass insisted with cartoonish stupidity that Republicans “want a system that’s rigged for white people. Full stop. That’s, they want the money rigged for them. That’s — they want all of the jobs rigged for them.” “They want — they feel superior and, underneath all of that, are morally inferior and morally depraved human beings.” Whining leftists have to “share this country with” the GOP, she further said they’re no more than “pussies” that need to “fucking go put your pacifier in your mouth, you titty baby.” Welch pivoted to the weekend arrests of the chauvinistic, creepy criminal Tate Brothers in Miami and Andrew’s feminine dress as an encapsulation of the right’s widespread homosexuality: “In this right-wing movement, you have these men that have these sexual secrets, and they’ve all kind of formed these alliances and, to keep their secrets, they’re plundering Western civilization.”  Jennifer Welch asserts most men in conservative politics are secretly gay...“In this right-wing movement, you have these men that have these sexual secrets, and they’ve all kind of formed these alliances and, to keep their secrets, they’re plundering Western civilization.:… pic.twitter.com/ujPobEhvC3— Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) July 20, 2026 “But this is the biggest group of closeted bis, bi-curious, gays, queens. I’ve ever seen in my life. It’s just — these ‘men,’ I’m going to say in quotes, are really broken, disturbed individuals that the most religious — the most outwardly religious people in our country refuse to condemn,” she added. Sullivan apparently had something to offer besides her standard role of clapping seal. Going off of internet conspiracy theories, she asserted without actual evidence that the Tate brothers are hand-in-glove with the Trump administration, proving they “don’t give a fuck about little girls being raped and sex trafficked.”  Angie “Pumps” Sullivan says Republicans and the Trump administration doesn’t “give a f*** about little girls being r*ped and sex trafficked. And we’re going to party with the TaTe brothers of the world because we don’t give a fuck about women, full stop.”“This is — this should… pic.twitter.com/ZrhMMGCIXK— Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) July 20, 2026 This went straight into Welch’s closing rant, citing Russian businessman, former Rudy Giuliani associate, and first Trump impeachment supporting actor Lev Parnas’s conspiracy theory about the First Lady having only met her now-husband by being sex trafficked in Epstein’s criminal enterprise (click “expand”): Jennifer Welch closes Monday's 'I've Had It Podcast News' by asserting “Melania was a hooker” for Jeffrey Epstein, who “assigned and/or passed on Melania to Donald Trump.”“[T]here is Freudian shit all through this, all through the Trump regime, and it is homophobia plus… pic.twitter.com/uH4j527Ijq— Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) July 20, 2026 And I want to remind everyone that Paolo Zampoli — he is the man who is very close to Trump, who provides a lie and alibi, in my opinion, for how Trump and Melania met. Of course, Paolo Zampoli’s ex-wife Amanda Ngaro said that they met because Melania was a hooker and Epstein assigned and/or passed on Melania to Donald Trump. So, the Tate brothers were partying with Paolo Zampoli before their arrest popped this up: “Andrew and Tristan Tate spent the days before their arrest partying in Washington, D.C. as guests of Paolo Zampoli, Donald Trump’s U.S. Special Envoy for Global Partnerships and a longtime friend of Trump and Melania. Zampoli is the former modeling executive who says he brought Melania to the United States and introduced her to Donald Trump. His name has also surfaced repeatedly in reporting surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s modeling world connections. And there’s more. Zampoli previously acknowledged contacting a senior ICE official about Amanda Ngaro, the mother of his child during a bitter custody dispute. She was later taken into immigration custody and deported, although Zampoli denies that he asked ICE to detain her. Now we learn that the Tate brothers — facing rape and sex trafficking charges in Britain — were being welcomed and entertained in Washington by a Trump administration envoy shortly before federal authorities arrested them in Miami. That raises some very serious questions who invited them. Who did they meet with? And why were they being embraced by someone so close to Trump’s inner circle? Stay tuned. There are so much more [coming].” This comes from Lev Parnas. And I want to say, why are they parting with people in Trump’s inner circle? Because birds of a feather flock together. That’s why. Paula Zampoli is lying, per his ex-wife. He is lying and providing Melania and Donald cover that he introduced them when his ex-wife says no, it was through Jeffrey Epstein. And I tend to believe the ex-wife and let me tell you why. Because Melania did that bat-shit crazy press conference out of the clear blue sky when nobody was asking what her interactions were with Jeffrey Epstein. She just volunteers all of this crazy as shit. And, of course, Donald Trump, and all of the people have no problem with Andrew Tate. They have no problem with Tristan Tate. Birds of a feather flock together. And I just want to leave you all with this. It is not normal for a heterosexual male to say having sex with a woman is gay. Like, there is Freudian shit all through this all through the Trump regime, and it is homophobia plus misogyny plus a closet full of secrets, and those are the men that are plundering our nation and the Western world at large right now. Exit question: When is the First Lady going to file a defamation suit against these cartoonishly miserable creeps? To see the relevant transcript from July 20, click here.

A recent Associated Press article entitled “U.S. Mint produces a $1 coin bearing Trump’s face to help celebrate America’s 250th birthday” is lacking important context and information, like many similar columns in various outlets.The new golden Trump $1 coin will be comprised of 88.5% copper, 6%, 3.5% manganese and 2% nickel. And, despite allegations from many in the media objecting to the legality of the president’s face on the coin, it is not always against federal law to put a living person on a U.S. coin, nor is it unprecedented.Even though previous laws were occasionally in place regarding putting living persons on non-circulating legal-tender commemorative coins, in the case of the new President Trump coin celebrating America’s semiquincentennial, a new law was introduced specifically addressing America’s 250th birthday. That law allows this honor and is codified in U.S. Code 31 §5112, which authorizes the production of a circulating coin with legal tender status.Again, it is specifically related to America 250 and can only be made in 2026. The legislation was introduced by California Democrat Barbara Lee (D-CA) in H.R. 1923 of the 116th Congress and approved with overwhelming bipartisan support.As far as precedent is concerned, there have been five previous non-circulating legal-tender commemorative coins issued featuring five prominent living people. The list includes three living male Democrats at the time: Virginia Senator Carter Glass and Senate Majority Leader Joseph Robinson, of Arkansas, in 1936, both of whom were in office at the time they were featured on a commemorative coin. Additionally, sitting Alabama Governor Thomas Kilby was featured on a commemorative coin in 1921. Using Carter Glass and Joseph Robinson surely ruffled some feathers at the time, but Republicans allowed the images to appear. Another political figure was the beloved Democrat Eunice Kennedy Shriver, who was alive when she was featured on a Special Olympics World Games commemorative coin in 1995. Even that was controversial. Additionally, only one living Republican has been featured on a commemorative coin; President Calvin Coolidge was on the sesquicentennial commemorative half dollar in 1926.In conclusion, while President Trump’s image on a commemorative coin is upsetting to some, Democrats continue to lead Republicans 4-2 in living-person commemorate coins, which is somewhat more bipartisan than the previous 4-1 score.This is much-needed context, don’t you think? Editor's Note: Non-circulating legal tender refers to official coins that possess a legal face value but are minted for collectors and investors rather than for daily spending. Because their precious metal or numismatic value far exceeds their printed denomination, they are almost never used in regular commerce.As America commemorates 250 years of independence, the @usmint will begin striking this new $1 gold coin to honor the enduring legacy of liberty and a lasting symbol of patriotism. Featuring President Trump, it celebrates the strength of American values, and the promise of a… pic.twitter.com/PEMrsGqOEA— Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent (@SecScottBessent) July 15, 2026

MTA Body Camera Footage via New York Post On June 16, 2026, Gabriel Hostin, the son of ABC’s Sunny Hostin, put his Ivy League education to the test and decided to allegedly trespass in a Metro-North train yard in Westchester County, New York. In the body camera video, Sunny can reportedly be heard using her status as “one of the co-host of The View” and a “former federal prosecutor” to pressure the cops to not give her son a judicial summons.The body camera picks up with Metropolitan Transportation Authority officers running up to Gabriel in a New Rochelle train yard. The footage shows Gabriel calling attention to one of the officer’s badges and reading out his number.Gabriel was on the phone with his mother talking about her interview with Vice President J.D. Vance earlier that day, according to Sunny. Seemingly unaware she was on speakerphone, and possibly thinking he had either phone up to his ear or a wireless headphone, Sunny seemingly tells her son to lie to police and say, “Tell them your mother is a federal prosecutor.”As Sunny often likes to tout on The View, she’s actually a former federal prosecutor.  Image MTA Body Camera Footage via New York Post  That tone swiftly changed once she became aware that she was speaking with an Officer Gomez. In an unredacted version of the footage, Sunny reportedly played the do-you-know-who-I-am card and flaunted her TV star status: “My name is Sunny Hostin and I’m one of the co-hosts of ‘The View’ and I’m a former federal prosecutor.”Gabriel was 24-years old at the time of the incident but mommy came running trying to get him out of it as if he was still a minor and not an adult. “Why would you put something on his record like this?” she whined to Gomez in the body camera footage.Sometime later, Sunny showed up in person and was still trying to get the officers to drop the whole thing by repeatedly reminding them she’s “former federal prosecutor.” She also kept noting that Gabriel was a “Harvard graduate” and “Yale researcher” who “teaches geometry to South Bronx kids.”She was still doing it even after Gomez explained he was “dumping it down to a [trespass] violation” when “it’s normally a misdemeanor.” She even acknowledged her son would likely just pay a fine but was still upset that the cops stopped him.  MTA Body Camera Footage via New York Post  In another example of the Hostins’ flexing their incredible privilege, Sunny was apparently representing her son as his lawyer. TMZ obtained the letter she had written to Assistant District Attorney Amanda Greene, trying to get the case against her son dropped.In the letter, Hostin tried to suggest her son was simply looking for a hill to do some jogging on and accidentally trespassed:My client is a 2025 Harvard University graduate with no criminal history or prior contact with the criminal justice system. He is an avid runner and former Junior Olympian track athlete who was in the area training.While jogging, he observed what appeared to be a gravel incline that could be used for hill training. Although there was a gate at the entrance of the gravel incline, the gates were standing open. The only “No Trespassing” sign was affixed to the left gate and, because the gates were open, it was not visible to my client as he entered the property. He reasonably believed the area was accessible and had no intention of entering private property unlawfully.As the body camera showed, there was no hill, but rather an industrial looking train yard near 24 Station Plaza.NewsBusters believes we have managed to geo-located the location (40°54'48.6"N 73°46'55.5"W) where Gabriel was picked up. Here are some more images of landmarks.You can see the tall building in the bottom of the Google Maps image I shared. pic.twitter.com/S0ieScPTar— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) July 20, 2026 There doesn't appear to be an incline conducive to good hill training as Sunny claimed in her letter. To get there, Gabriel would have needed to go down a dead-end road behind some buildings that’s lined with discarded pallets and debris. The road also seemed act as a parking lot and storage for possible construction/industrial materials.The location is not immediately visible from a main roadway and is not in a rural area where one could stumble across tracks in the woods.Ironically, in 2025, Sunny made headlines when she suggested all of her neighbors in her “all white neighborhood” were racist and would call the police on him for jogging. She claims she brought her son to the police station and demanded, “Do not harass him, do not stop him” when he was on his runs.Sunny Hostin apparently thinks all her white neighbors are racists. She says she fears them calling the police on on her son if they see him training for the Junior Olympics:"As a mother of black children, I know that black boys are not given the presumption of innocence...I… pic.twitter.com/3Q1sfc1c5c— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) October 22, 2025
