Mamdani: We Must ‘Buy Up Private Housing’ to Convert into Communes:

Zohran Mamdani, the openly socialist Democrat nominee for mayor of New York City, proposed buying up private properties to “convert” them into communes in a 2021 instructional video for the far-left Gravel Institute.

The New York state assemblyman, who beat former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the Democrat primary last week, argued that the solution to “America’s housing crisis” is getting the government to “fully commit to a new era of social housing” in a video titled “How Socialists Solved The Housing Crisis."

He continued, “We have to continue to elect more socialists, and we have to ensure that we are unapologetic about our socialism,” before adding that socialists should “firmly” believe in the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, and the “end goal of seizing the means of production, where we do not have the same level of support at this very moment.”

Democrats and the Fake News Media Are Hiding This from the American Public: Illegal Migrants Collect More Food, Housing, Cash Benefits, and Medicaid Than Natural Born Citizens:

Democrat politicians and far left hacks in the legacy media are outraged that Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill cuts Medicaid for illegal aliens in the US.

They say it’s inhumane. They believe it is the American taxpayers duty to welcome millions of illegals a year into our country and to pay their bills.

Of course, this is national suicide. Democrats know this. MAGA knows this.

What these dirty politicians and their media bedfellows won’t tell you is that illegal aliens collect more benefits in food, housing, CA$H, and Medicaid than natural born Americans.

Democrats don’t want you to know this.

The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) released a report in December 2023 that compares the percentage of natural born Americans receiving government handouts versus the number of illegal aliens receiving government benefits.

The report is based on numbers and data from the 2022 Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP).

The study found that 59 percent of non-citizen households (e.g., green card holders and illegal immigrants) used one or more major welfare program.

This compares to 39 percent of US-born households who receive one or more major welfare program.

Illegal aliens not only broke the law to enter the country but they’re sucking our resources dry.

Gavin Newsom accused of taking California back to Jim Crow era — by his fellow Democrats:

Dems called his actions 'hurtful' and 'insensitive' and even compared him to President Donald Trump.

Furious infighting by Democrats has broken out in California, where the governor is being attacked by liberal members of his own party over laws meant to increase the supply of housing in the state.

Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom is getting assailed by state lawmakers after he forced the passage of a law to bolster the construction of low-income housing by allowing developers to pay nonunion wages to laborers. While Democrats have a supermajority in the legislature, opposition to the bill from pro-union lawmakers erupted in outrage against the governor.

"I just enacted the most game-changing housing reforms in recent California history," said Newsom on Monday. "We're urgently embracing an abundance agenda by tearing down the barriers that have delayed new affordable housing and infrastructure for decades. Let’s get building, California."

Newsom was also able to lower environmental standards for housing that have strangled construction for decades, according to critics.

Trade union lobbyist Scott Wetch accused Newsom of “contemplating a law to suppress wages" for the first time in California since the Jim Crow era.

The Senate version of H.R. 1, otherwise known as the One Big Beautiful Bill, reflects an aggressive expansion of AI-driven federal biometric surveillance infrastructure under the Trump administration’s second term.
The website Biometric Update, which reports on all things digital and biometric, posted an article on June 30 that points out how President Trump’s BBB will expand the digital surveillance state exponentially and place the U.S. on an irreversible course toward a biometric slave state that tracks the movement of everyone, everywhere.
According to the article, the 940-page bill does much more than allocate dollars; it would codify a vision of the national security state where biometric surveillance, artificial intelligence, and immigration enforcement converge at unprecedented scale.
The bill passed the Senate on Tuesday, July 1, after earlier passing the House and now returns to the House for reconciliation. Trump has said he’d like it on his desk by July 4.
According to Biometric Update:
“Passed out of the House along party lines earlier this year, the Senate version now reflects the Trump administration’s deepening focus on internal surveillance and deportation infrastructure. Although a final vote is pending in the Senate and will need to be passed by the House, what’s already in the legislative text that likely will remain intact is deeply consequential for civil liberties, biometric privacy, and immigration governance.”
It goes on:
“At its core, H.R.1 dedicates over $175 billion in immigration-related funding for fiscal year 2025 alone, which is by far the largest such allocation in U.S. history and represents a dramatic technology buildout. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) would receive nearly $30 billion in funding through 2029, earmarked not only for personnel and deportation operations, but also for digital modernization efforts that lean heavily on AI and biometric surveillance. More than $5.2 billion within ICE’s share is dedicated to infrastructure modernization, including $2.5 billion specifically for artificial intelligence systems, biometric data collection platforms, and digital case tracking.”
DHS officials familiar with the bill’s intent say the funds are aimed at expanding ICE’s access to mobile biometric tools, integrating facial recognition into field operations, automating risk scoring for individuals in deportation proceedings, and accelerating case processing through AI-driven platforms.
This massive digital surveillance buildout is being done under the guise of immigration enforcement and border security. But that’s a ruse. A psy op.
This same technology is being erected in cities throughout America. They are now putting it at the border, too, and it will all be integrated into one big beautiful surveillance system. Nobody will be going anywhere without their movement being tracked.
Your car will be tracked, your phone will be tracked, your face will be tracked, even your gait will be analyzed and tracked. It’s all available to law enforcement in real time. In theory at least, these “tools” give law enforcement the ability to see and stop crimes before they happen, like in the Hollywood film Minority Report. In reality, it establishes an Orwellian police state where privacy is a quaint idea associated with “old think.”
You have to read deep into the Biomentric Update article before they tell you the whole truth, that this money allocated by Trump’s BBB isn’t just being spent to monitor illegal aliens. Read and weep, as no constitutional conservative in Congress could vote for such a bill in good conscience.
“Under H.R. 1, CBP would gain broader authority to deploy facial recognition tools at ports of entry and along transportation corridors, in line with DHS’s 2024 strategic plan that envisions end-to-end biometric travel. The plan states that ‘DHS is aggressively pursuing innovative technologies for detection and strengthening identity verification for travelers within the United States through biometric and biographic techniques and technologies.’ While framed as anti-terror and anti-trafficking measures, critics argue the systems normalize mass biometric surveillance with minimal oversight.”
So there you have it. “End-to-end biometric travel.” Does that sound like a plan geared solely for catching illegal aliens? They admit this dragnet is being installed and operated with “minimal oversight.” I would posit that it’s even worse. I would say it’s more accurate to expect that this digital surveillance will occur on a daily basis with ZERO oversight from any independent source representing citizens and taxpayers.
The globalists are using classic Hegelian Dialectic tactics of action and reaction to get their beast system implemented. First, they open the border and let every imaginable evil into the country one Biden. Then, under Trump, they put in place the opposite reaction of a digitized biometric control system.
In addition to these biometric expansions under Trump, Biometric Update notes that the bill’s AI-related language introduces a 10-year moratorium on the enforcement of state and local biometric privacy laws. The moratorium is tied to funding conditions, meaning states risk losing federal broadband and AI development funds unless they suspend their own biometric safeguards.
The article concludes:
🧨 “Given the speed and scale of the bill’s advancement, biometric surveillance and data privacy landscapes across the U.S. may soon look dramatically different and be further centralized under federal authority, stripped of local safeguards, and deeply intertwined with AI-driven immigration enforcement.”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Introduces Bill to Ban Weather Modification Chemicals in Bold Push Against Geoengineering:

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) introduced bold federal legislation on Saturday aimed at outlawing geoengineering practices and banning the injection or release of chemicals into the atmosphere intended to alter the weather, temperature, or sunlight.

Greene’s bill makes such acts a felony offense, targeting both private and government efforts to manipulate the climate through artificial means.

The proposed legislation, if passed, would prohibit any person, corporation, or government agency from engaging in weather modification operations — including controversial programs linked to solar radiation management and cloud seeding.

In a post on X, Greene declared, 
“I am introducing a bill that prohibits the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity. It will be a felony offense.”

“I want clean air, clean skies, clean rain water, clean ground water, and sun shine just like God created it!!” 
“No person, company, entity, or government should ever be allowed to modify our weather by any means possible!!”

Violations are classified as a third-degree felony, punishable by up to five years in prison and fines of up to $100,000.  Aircraft operators and controllers face fines up to $5,000. 

Greene’s bill is modeled after Florida’s Senate Bill 56...

More from the press release issued back in May:
“Today I was in Miami to support SB 700, which bans local governments from unilaterally adding fluoride to public drinking water,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “In addition to this, I also reiterated in Miami that Florida is not a testing ground for geoengineering. We already do not permit this activity, and I will be signing SB 56 to prohibit the practice in our skies.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy Demands All 50 Governors Remove Political Road Paintings — Including Rainbow Crosswalks:

Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy has had enough of America’s highways being treated like social-justice canvases.

According to the directive issued this week to every governor in the nation, the Trump-appointed cabinet official ordered states to scrub their roads, intersections, and crosswalks of “political messages or artwork,” singling out rainbow-themed crosswalks as prime offenders.

“Roads are for safety, not political messages or artwork. Today I am calling on governors in every state to ensure that roadways, intersections, and crosswalks are kept free of distractions,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy. 

“Far too many Americans die each year to traffic fatalities to take our eye off the ball. USDOT stands ready to help communities across the country make their roads safer and easier to navigate.”
He’s giving states just 60 days to produce a hit list of their most dangerous arterial segments and intersections, and until the end of FY 2026 to fix them. Those fixes, the letter makes clear, include stripping away partisan paint jobs that confuse motorists and autonomous-vehicle sensors alike.

South African Elon Musk Launches ‘America Party’:

Editor’s Note: Despite viral claims circulating on social media, Elon Musk has not filed a statement of organization with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to formally establish his so-called “America Party.”

Musk, a native of South Africa and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, announced the launch of the America Party this weekend via a poll on his social media platform X.

Musk launched the party in response to his public fallout with President Donald Trump over the “One Big Beautiful Bill” tax and spending package, which he fiercely opposed.

Musk claims the America Party will serve as a centrist force, targeting two or three Senate seats and eight to ten House districts to act as a deciding vote on contentious laws. He claims it will represent the “80% in the middle,” referring to voters who are disillusioned with both Democrats and Republicans. However, specifics on its platform remain vague. He has hinted at themes prioritizing debt reduction, deregulation, and tech innovation — all of which would benefit him.

Contrary to earlier reports, no official filing exists under Musk’s name or the name of his party.

“This filing is false and has been reported as such to the FEC,” Musk wrote.

Brooke Rollins Announces USDA National Farm Security Action Plan to ‘Promote Agricultural Prosperity’ and ‘Strengthen’ U.S. Food Supply:

During a virtual pen & pad event on Monday evening, ahead of a press conference on Tuesday, Rollins explained that the plan includes “seven key action items.” One of the key action items focused on “securing and protecting the American farmland,” while another key point focused on “rooting out fraud, abuse, and foreign adversaries” that were posing a threat to the U.S. nutrition safety net and food stamp programs.

“First we are securing and protecting the American farmland — first of the seven. Within that number one, we all know that land owned by foreign nationals can pose a threat to national security and future economic prosperity. Too much American land is owned by nationals of adversarial countries, and more than 265,000 acres in the United States are owned by Chinese nationals — much of which is located near critical U.S. military bases,” Rollins explained.

“The second pillar; we are enhancing the resilience of the agricultural supply chain. American agriculture is currently at a disadvantage on the world stage because the production of key ag-inputs and the transportation of American ag-commodities around the world rely on components produced in other countries..."

“The third pillar; rooting out fraud, abuse, and foreign adversaries that threaten the U.S. nutrition safety net. You all know that the largest program at USDA is not a farming program, it’s actually the SNAP or the food stamp program. And, vulnerabilities within that payment system are a persistent target of transnational criminals and gangs,” Rollins continued.

"...USDA is instituting a new process to ensure that all research funded by USDA provides value to American farmers, ranchers, producers, and foresters,” Rollins explained.

DHS: San Antonio City Council Candidate Calls for Shooting ICE Agents:

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reported that a San Antonio City Council candidate called for the shooting of ICE agents on the streets of Los Angeles. The threat by the self-described Democrat political consultant comes as ICE agents are increasingly assaulted, and a Border Patrol station in Texas came under attack from a gunman.

Many on social media quickly called for the arrest and prosecution of Gauna.

Texas Attorney General candidate Aaron Reitz also called for Gauna’s arrest.

Upon further research, I guess the joke is on me.  His name is Matthew Guana.

From the San Antonio Report: "Matthew Gauna is an environmental science student at UTSA. He previously worked as an auditor and has run unsuccessfully for the District 1 seat in the past."

Netanyahu Tells Trump, at Dinner, He Nominated Him for Nobel Peace Prize:

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu informed U.S. President Donald Trump during a dinner at the White House on Monday night he had nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize for his Middle East policies.

The dinner kicked off a crucial three-day visit by the Israeli leader, during which the allies, victorious in the 12 Day War over Iran, will discuss the future of peace for the region. The dinner was meant to be private, but the media were allowed access for just over half an hour to hear remarks and ask each leader questions.

Netanyahu stood and presented Trump with a copy of his letter to the Nobel Prize committee. Trump appeared to have been visibly moved: “Coming from you in particular, this is very meaningful.”
