Screencap of Twitter/X video. Conservative historian and scholar, Victor Davis Hanson, made an excellent point about the communists of the DSA last night during an appearance on the Sean Hannity Show. Hanson pointed out that people like Mamdani, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and others have come to the United States of America from failed states but seem to want to reenact the very failure that they fled from. He also noted how ironic it is that all of the people at the top of this movement are extraordinarily wealthy. Even the influencers like Hasan Piker, who lives in a million…
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin said Wednesday that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was lying about a provision in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to merge parts of the U.S. military with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). In a social media post on Tuesday evening, Ocasio-Cortez said, “Tomorrow, the House will vote on the NDAA, which includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF. This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy. Every member of Congress must vote NO.” The following day, Zeldin shared her post and said her claims were…

It’s been a busy week for Zohran Mamdani in regard to his favorite legal jurisdiction. Unfortunately, that jurisdiction doesn’t happen to be New York City, but instead the state of Israel. After again saber-rattling and threatening to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as he promised on the campaign trail, he suddenly discovered he lacked the jurisdiction. Not that this stopped him from calling Netanyahu a “war criminal,” despite the fact he hasn’t been (and almost certainly never will be) tried in an international court: Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal. pic.twitter.com/YRezmW6YVx — Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani (@NYCMayor) July 22,…
