New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has announced his first two key appointments for his incoming administration where he is likely to destroy a massive city with bizarro-world unrealistic policies. Dean Fuleihan as First Deputy Mayor, a Syracuse native and veteran of city and state government. Fuleihan previously served as budget director and first deputy mayor under Bill de Blasio, bringing expertise in policy and fiscal management. Oh right, because de Blasio was so good. Mamdani also chose Elle Bisgaard-Church as Chief of Staff, his longtime trusted advisor. She’ll handle day-to-day operations and strategic coordination in the mayor’s office. Isn’t…

BBC executives Tim Davie and Deborah Turness resigned after backlash over a Panorama documentary that deceptively edited Donald Trump’s January 6 speech. The edit allegedly misled viewers by altering context around his words before the Capitol events. A leaked memo exposed the issues, prompting accusations of bias, and Trump has threatened a $1 billion lawsuit against the BBC. Wow. What a bunch of idiots. If you’re working for a huge network, making good money and end up in a scandal like this, then you really messed up. If that was me, then I’d just play Trump’s speech word for word.…

You gotta love when the hens on The View are cackling loud enough to attack the Democrats and giving Trump a break from usual comical commentary that no one even listens to. This time it was Sunny Hostin who blabbered off a bunch of nonsense and then turned her back on Chuck Schumer, finally saying something worth listening to. Hostin mocked his decisions and suggested he was weak. She’s right about that. Chuck Schumer can’t even grill a cheeseburger the right way, so I wouldn’t trust anyone in politics to make a proper decision if they’re putting cheese on a…

Radio guy and podcaster Chris Stigall has been a right wing Trump supporter for years, but him and many others are speaking out about the completely stupid idea of a 50-year-mortgage. Stigall said, “Trump’s 50 Year Mortgage Plan? Wrong Solution for Young America. They need freedom, opportunity and faith in the free market. Trump Is Still America First-But 50 Year Mortgages Are Not.” Stigall then went into reasons why it’s wrong in one of his videos, which is embedded below. I can tell you why the 50-year-mortgage is wrong. Do you want to pay interest to a bank for 20…

In a 106-page ruling, U.S. District Court Judge Karin Immergut wrote that “this Court arrives at the necessary conclusion that there was neither ‘a rebellion or danger of a rebellion’ nor was the President ‘unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States’ in Oregon when he ordered the federalization and deployment of the National Guard” – and blocked Trump from using the National Guard in Portland where protesters are acting up. Of course her name is KARIN and I guess she prefers Portland to turn into a total dumpster, because this ruling makes absolutely no…

Here’s something you don’t see everyday and there’s a good reason for it. It’s an anti-ICE protester rubbing pepper ball residue in and around his mouth after federal agents fired them at the group who was participating in an unlawful gathering. I could see if there was a pizza on the ground and he rubbed some sauce on those gums, but not pepper ball juice. That’s just gross and I don’t know why he would do this other than to show off for the camera. When I saw this video, I just thought to myself “bro, wtf are you doing”…

Rosie O’Donnell’s daughter, Chelsea, was sentenced to prison after her probation was revoked, as per Wisconsin’s online court records. Chelsea had previously faced drug-related and other criminal charges in Oconto and Marinette Counties. Earlier this year, she pleaded guilty to drug and bail jumping charges in Marinette County and to possession of methamphetamine, felony bail jumping, and resisting an officer in Oconto County. While initially sentenced to probation, she risked prison time if she violated the terms. On October 22, court records revealed that Chelsea was sentenced to prison in her Marinette County case. Rosie O’Donnell shared a post on…

House Speaker Mike Johnson said Monday he’s confident the House has enough votes to pass the Senate’s funding package to reopen the government. After being out of session for over 50 days, House lawmakers will need to approve the measure to end the shutdown once it clears the Senate. In the meantime, President Donald Trump is pressuring Democrats to open the government. One major problem is all the flights that are being canceled. U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy issued a warning on Friday, stating that the administration might mandate airlines to reduce up to 20 percent of flights if the…

The enhanced premium tax credits under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) are set to expire this year unless Congress takes action to extend them. If they expire, then millions of Americans could face much higher premiums, increased out-of-pocket costs, and a rise in the number of uninsured individuals. Although Congress has the chance to address this issue before the deadline, they haven’t acted yet. And why not? Because it appears that President Donald Trump would rather get rid of ACA and get people back on the private market. That’s fine, but if ACA is still active, then the Republicans need…

Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., on Sunday criticized President Donald Trump’s recent proposal to redirect Affordable Care Act funds from insurance companies to individuals, saying it would harm the ACA’s protections for preexisting conditions. Is Adam Schiff on ACA or does he have government insurance? That’s a big question because anyone talking about ACA should be ON IT if they want to see what it’s really like. During an appearance on ABC’s “This Week” with George Stephanopoulos, Schiff described the idea as a rehash of repealing the ACA, replacing it with health savings accounts, and allowing insurers to deny coverage for…

President Donald Trump declared that those opposing tariffs are “fools” and promised to allocate the revenue from these duties toward providing a $2,000 dividend for Americans. Nothing is set in stone for the $2,000 checks and it may never happen, so it’s just an idea for now. It’s likely meant to get people on board with supporting the tariffs, but if the checks never show up – then people who hoped for them will be let down and lose trust in Trump. Other critics say the American government should not be sending Americans money and that it should pay the…

A Somali restaurant in Minneapolis, Safari Restaurant, was involved in a large federal child nutrition program fraud scheme, leading to the conviction of its co-owner, Salim Said. The restaurant and its affiliated sites fraudulently received over $16 million in federal funds, with Safari itself taking about $12 million. This was part of the “Feeding Our Future” case, a nationwide scheme that stole over $250 million meant to provide free meals to low-income children during the COVID-19 pandemic. Those involved created fake companies, claimed to serve millions of meals, and used false attendance records. Safari falsely claimed to serve thousands of…

The Supreme Court granted the Trump administration’s emergency appeal to temporarily halt a court order requiring full funding of SNAP food aid payments during the government shutdown, even though some states’ residents have already received the funds. A judge had set a deadline for the Republican administration to make the payments through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program by Friday. However, the administration appealed to suspend any orders forcing it to spend beyond the available contingency fund, opting instead to proceed with partial SNAP payments for the month. After a Boston appeals court declined to intervene immediately, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji…

As the government shutdown continues, senators worked through the weekend for the first time in hopes of reaching a resolution. This could be the first time that people in government feel what it’s like to actually go to work. Let’s be honest here folks – does anyone in government actually “work” or do most of them just sit on social media or do Fox/CNN interviews? Because what do they ever do to earn that six figure salary? I know they don’t read the bills the push through. We know this because they lump bills together because they’re too lazy to…

President Donald Trump called on Republican senators to shift federal funds from subsidizing health insurance costs under the Affordable Care Act to providing direct payments to individuals, aiming to address a key issue behind the US government shutdown. Trump said in a post: “I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE, and have money left over.” His remarks came as US…

If you were a fan of the original Predator movie from the late 80s, then you know how savage, cool, and badass the creature was. Fast forward 30 years to 2025 and you get the new woke version of Predator. It looks like a blue-haired feminist and the coolness and badass aspects are all missing. Spend five minutes on Twitter/X and you’ll see at least five people comparing the previous alien hunter to today’s modern version and it’s like they made the absolute worst looking Predator they could come up with. I can’t get passed the look because I think…

When you see this lavish seafood spread, but your gout tells you no, and your lack of SNAP benefits tells you yes – then you must be in Mar-a-Lago! President Donald Trump is being criticized for hosting a party that included a bunch of shrimp and stone crab claws that are somewhat expensive as the government shutdown puts SNAP benefits at risk. Democrats on social media are pushing a narrative that millions of kids are starving while people eat crab claws in Florida. Republicans are responding by saying things like “you know parties existed before” and “tell the Democrats to…

President Donald Trump shared an image about 50-year mortgages and the Internet can’t figure out if he’s trolling or dead serious. To be fair, he could just be screwing with people but Bill Pulte also mentioned it and that’s the worst part. 50-year-mortgages, if they happened, would be one of the dumbest ideas in modern history. There’s nothing great about saving $100 or so on a monthly payment and then spending like $500k more in interest over the 20 extra years on top of a typical 30-year-loan. So here’s the thing – anyone supporting this on social media is either…

Candace Owens admits not being invited to speak at Charlie Kirk’s memorial service, despite them being longtime friends. She claims they were still on good terms, despite what any rumors might have suggested. However, she did go into some conspiracy theories about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, suggesting that he had something to do with Charlie’s assassination. Owens then suggested that her lack of invite was an attempt to silence her. However, she does a podcast, so she can say anything she likes on there and she won’t be silenced. Candace Owens was quoted saying: “Like I said, the reason…

Jimmy Kimmel was suspended for his abhorrent comments about the shooting of Charlie Kirk. Kimmel suggested that MAGA fans were trying to blame the shooting on everyone else, as if it was a MAGA supporter who shot and killed Charlie Kirk on September 10. Kimmel was then suspended for his badly timed and insensitive remarks, something he often does only towards one side of politics, as he rarely insults or mocks the Democrats. After a short suspension, not even a week, Kimmel returned and broke down into crocodile tears as he tried to clarify his comments about Charlie Kirk: “I…
