New York Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) leads Republican Bruce Blakeman by just four points in the race for governor, according to a new poll made public this week. The survey, conducted by Red Oak Strategic for the pro-Blakeman Strong and Safe super PAC, put Hochul at 47 percent to Blakeman’s 43 percent, with 10 percent undecided, the New York Post reported Tuesday. Red Oak surveyed 2,000 registered voters from July 7 to July 12. Red Oak said the results point to trouble for the incumbent. “The environment favors a challenger: just 33% say New York is headed in the…

Screencap of YouTube video. You may have heard the term ‘suicidal empathy.’ It was coined by an academic and social scientist named Gad Saad, who uses the term to describe how leftists go so far over the edge trying to be empathetic that they end up putting themselves and other people in harm’s way. Think about defunding the police. That was a classic case of suicidal empathy. In the video below, Nick Shirley is talking to a student from New York University about the idea of closing down prisons and he uses the example of rapist being able to walk…
The United States on Wednesday night launched another round of heavy airstrikes against Iran, which apparently sought to widen the war by attacking an Egyptian port with a kamikaze drone. U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said Wednesday night’s strikes were “in response to yesterday’s attempted missile attacks on U.S. forces.” Iran continued launching attacks against its neighbors on Wednesday and Thursday, including an attack on a Chinese-owned building in Kuwait that killed one person, and another five ballistic missiles lobbed at Jordan. The Kuwaiti military vowed to take “all necessary measures” to defend against “heinous Iranian aggression.” That aggression apparently widened…
On Thursday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “The Moment,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) said that if he were in charge of the situation in Iran, he “would unilaterally end the war, and that’s not going to be a great outcome, because it probably leaves Iran in control of the Strait of Hormuz for the time being.” Guest host Jonathan Lemire asked, “It’s well known you disagreed with the decision for the president to start this conflict. But take it — considering where we are now, the hand the president has, if that was you sitting in the Oval Office, what would…

Screencap of Twitter/X video. Republicans in the senate grilled Dr. Anthony Fauci this week, so leftists like Lawrence O’Donnell of MSNOW had to step up and defend him. It’s all so predictable. You always know what the left is going to do because it’s always a knee-jerk reaction to whatever Trump or Republicans are saying or doing. In the case of O’Donnell over on MSNOW, he was determined to go farther than anyone else on the left. Virtue signaling is very important to him. From the TV Insider: Lawrence O’Donnell jumped to Anthony Fauci‘s defense amid the former Director of…
Stomach Bugs and Systemic Debt If it’s not a bizarre new geopolitical crisis, it’s a terrifying headline about the safety of our food supply. This, no doubt, is an age of constant, low-grade dread. Every time you open your phone, there’s a fresh, steaming pile of bad news waiting to greet you. But while the mainstream media loves to keep your anxiety levels on a gentle simmer, we prefer to look at the bigger picture. The absurdity of modern life is what we’re after. Lately, two seemingly unrelated outbreaks have been competing for the spotlight. There’s a microscopic parasite making its way…
Salvadoran Vice President Félix Ulloa is proposing the creation of a “Central American Union” similar to the European Union, local outlets reported on Thursday. Ulloa’s proposal reportedly aims to allow nationals of Central American countries the ability to move and work freely in other countries in the region. The Salvadoran newspaper La Prensa Gráfica reported that the proposal for a “Central American Union” calls for a significant reform of the 1991 Protocol of Tegucigalpa, which established the foundational legal framework of the Central American Integration System (SICA) regional economic and political cooperation bloc. SICA is presently formed by Belize, Costa Rica, the…
On Thursday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” Rep. Jake Auchincloss (D-MA) said that to keep Iran “from becoming a quagmire,” “we’ve got to negotiate transit through the Strait. It’s not going to be free and open, like it was before this war. As I said, this war is lost, but it needs to at least be navigable in order to bring down prices.” Auchincloss said, “Yes, we should be worried about the stockpiles. More importantly, we should be worried about the safety of American troops. Sara, I’m not on the Armed Services Committee, but I have been a strong opponent…
