I note you did not go with "beard"

14 Mamdani signed an Executive Order banning police from cooperating with DHS or ICE.

And this Terror Simp also refuses to force them into homeless shelters during extreme cold. So instead they take refuge in the subway stations and victimize people trying to get to work.

The homeless are filling the subway stations because of Mamdani, and psychopathically violent foreign killers are allowed to roam the streets because of Mamdani.

Mamdani continues insisting he will not deport illegals nor turn them over to ICE even after this illegal alien maniac claims another two victims.

Well done, New York City Democrats. Give yourselves all a raise.

I want to be like this, too, but it doesn’t stay contained there. The people they allow to stay can go anywhere, to include where we live. And people are going to flee, they are fleeing. They come to places like here because it’s pretty and quaint. But they don’t leave their voting behind and somehow don’t fully connect the dots. Of course they also complain about us being slow, speaking funny, get offended when the second question asked is “where do you go to Church”. I mean goodness, y’all, you moved to the Bible Belt. It’s mandatory that we first ask what you (or your husband) does, and secondly where you go to church. It’s the rule.

Robert De Dumbarse Nero is whining that the mayor won't meet with him! This is an insult! He helped elect him and Mondingo is raising taxes! Idiot!

I want deportations at huge scales, so rapid, violent, in every large city that the Dims will be screaming in circles. Then deport to their countries, El Salvador, Bermuda Triangle. I don't care. They don't need due process as they came here illegally. DEPORT THEM ALL!

If they have visas...ok, I don't even care about that. There is nothing peaceful about their religion. Put them in internment camps.

GET OUT!

All are grenades with their pins not pulled in my opinion today. If you are "moderate" then find someone to have the courage to stand up to them and say the word, "reform." You will probably be killed, but prove to us that you want to become part of this country and century.

Thanks Obungo and Biden. Your legacy keeps exploding your hatred for the USA.

Valid. Incredibly, sadly valid.

77 "So far in 2026, there have been nine subway push incidents according to the NYPD. By way of comparison, there were 19 in all of 2025 and 26 in all of 2024."

So we're on track for 30 this year? Up from 26 last year? There are 1.2 billion (with a "b") subway rides in NYC in a year. That makes the odds of getting pushed on any given subway ride in a year are 1 in 40 million (30 in 1.2 billion).

Assuming you ride the subway 10x a week, that means you can ride for 77,000 years before you'd statistically be pushed.

Odds of getting struck by lightning? 1 in 1.6 million each year. You are 25x more likely to get struck by lighting than pushed in the NYC subway.

78 >>> Mamdani signed an Executive Order banning police from cooperating with DHS or ICE.

Thinking outside the box...

DHS / ICE needs to work from the outside in with street sweeping with city hall at the center. When illegals start taking refuge there then it would become clear that Mamdani is literally harboring fugatives. Then arrest him and charge him with as many counties as there are aliens hunkered down under his desk.

Concurrently funnel a bunch to his home block. Or even start there.

79 He should have been deported when it was clear he didn't have the funds to sustain himself. We were paying for his meals and bed in a homeless shelter. We shouldn't allow anyone into this country that doesn't have the money to support themselves.

Majority of immigrants immigrate bc they don’t have money looking for a better life. By only allowing people who can support themselves would make only rich immigrants and that has to be like some type of classism (bring the rich get rid of the poor)

Next you might even come up with a idea to sell gold cards and expedite permanent residency for about a million dollars what could go wrong

ICE, this one’s a slam dunk! Go get ‘em. These are your targets not citizen folks like Pretti or Good. Excellent fodder for the public relations team too.

It’s very dishonest to assume people protesting ICE are doing so on behalf of the worst of the worst instead of the normal immigrants that just do a good days work and pay their bills like everyone else and have been here for years without issue

Same. Come to my town round up all illegals, and ice will be treated conquering heroes. I’m actually kinda pissed that they haven’t done that.

My understanding is there is an initial sweep of the roles to ensure people who are on them are legit, and going forward, you just have to show ID. You have to prove citizenship to register to vote. So I agree it won’t be 100% effective, but it will cut down on the issue dramatically. I think there will also be a bit of a deterrent factor that prevents some who felt emboldened to vote, not to risk it and get deported.

Next stop: bathroom break at the river.

123 I'm a native NYer from The Bronx, where I now live. I'm tired of you all saying that we in NYC "deserve" this.

I posted this right after the election ... Two reasons for Zohran:

First, a large and growing Muslim population that turnout and vote as a block. It's not my Da's NYC anymore.

The second factor is Woke hipsters who move here from elsewhere. The rest of the country should be thanking us for taking in their wretched refuse yearning to be free.

Together they have outsized voting power because so many who work in NYC -- and thus have an interest in NYC -- live and vote elsewhere. This leads to weird politics from low turnout with fringe candidates winning.

Soros was an early backer of Zohran. He got a high ROI, no?

Zohran will be the American poster child for all that's wrong with the unholy alliance of Woke and Islam. They're both ersatz religions. Like Scientology and Joel Osteen: Follow their program and you'll be rewarded in this life (and 77 virgins in the next!) It's a global phenomenon. Witness Londonstan.

Peace, out

124 Also, RIP to the Air Force plane refuelers that crashed in Iraq. May their families feel the loving arms of god wrap around them to comfort them.

A friend of mine is currently a plane refueler in the Air Force, and he is on the same kind of plane that crashed. We are waiting to hear back from his wife if he was on that plane, but they live overseas and the time difference means they should be asleep. Praying hard he's safe, we'll see.

125 I bet there's 95% - 99.9999% opposition against voter ID with our "elected representatives". Their entire livelihood is built on the scam.

yes, they those representatives ar trying to scam something, but that has nothing to do with average people who keep voting and voting, and then left in shock when either Hussein or Mumdani end up in charge. this concept is very hard for some to absorb, and then they claim some kind of moral superiority that they did not exactly earn

I used to have one that read "Welcome to Texas. Now go home." These days that will probably get my car keyed.

144 "The census "counts" illegals to give blue states votes."

as I understand it, they give illegals IDs that can't identify them as illegals, so they can vote without detection.

BUT even if they don't vote, they give the districts full of illegals representatives based on the total population (including the illegals). So for example, an area of Chicago with 400k legals and 400k illegals will get one rep, while a district with 800k legals will also get one rep.

(somewhere close to 800k/district) This basically means the illegals have at least 20 of their own reps in congress.

Because it IS an urbanite viewpoint. It's smart and reasonable to adjust your threat matrix based on your location.

Living in NYC - by definition - brings with it increased and different threats than living in Farmville, VA. You should be aware of the common threats in your area, and you should do your best to mitigate those threats. Always. Every time.

161 I literally go about my day expecting to be surrounded by the sane and law abiding.

Odd, I know.

162 The last census said there were 331M people.

We know there were around ~40M illegals.

So that means ultimately 1/8 of congress was decided by illegals even if not a single illegal voted since this leads to "rotten boroughs" were a small number of leftists surrounded by illegals get a rep just like 800k actual Americans in a red district get one rep.

163 I don't not expect to be the victim of crime, no.

Nah, if you stand at the edge of the platform you are a fool. You can reduce the 1 in 40 million to 1 in 40 billion merely by the most simple common sense.

Just like if you don't lock your doors at night, leave the car unlocked with valuables in it, you are making yourself more likely to be a victim -- no matter where you live.

An 11th Indian nat'l who was deported to India has also been charged.

Governors races are those kinds of races that can go against PVI and elect off-party candidates.

They're a bit less driven by pure partisanship and can be influenced by local/statewide issues.

No polling of the GOP primary for months, and the last couple were YouGov (laughs), but this could be another Mark Robinson (NC in 2024) where the candidate is just so bad but wins the primary anyway.

The only things that could save Vivek if he wins the primary are the very slanted nature of PVI in Ohio and the fact that Acton is terrible.

267 >>So, even if you don't NEED to lock your door, what's the upside of leaving it unlocked?

There isn't one.

It's like driving without wearing a seatbelt. It probably isn't going to matter as you will never get into a serious accident, but you'll be happy you were wearing one in the 1-in-40 million chance that you do.

I've had trouble finding the rationalization as well. I'm going to suggest a staple of today's society. "Immediate gratification" and "Envy" itied together in a neat little bow of "self-loathing."

These illegals are sold a bill of goods that coming to the US guarantees wealth. When it becomes apparent that they need to work for it, they go for the immediate gratification associated with crime. When that doesn't work out they start to envy those established citizens like a old white guy (likely carrying groceries or something)...which trips the envy button...as they compare that old white guy to their own failures...and that brings forth the frustration and self-loathing. Hence, a push onto the tracks. Of course, these lawless jackasses likely don't need much of a reason. They're angry.

The Kingdom’s 1,200-kilometre East-West crude oil pipeline, a Cold War-era contingency built in 1981 and rarely operated at capacity, would hit its emergency maximum of seven million barrels per day “in the next couple of days.” Yanbu, a modest Red Sea port that processed fewer than 800,000 barrels daily in February, had tripled its throughput in barely a week."

It has long been demonstrated that leftists beliefs on crime and its perpetrators are full of shit. Criminals respond to incentives and no worries about being punished by homeowners means more home invasions. To them, crime is what they do because they don't care to work for a living and jail/prison is simply like when they get laid off for a time. Out, they will start back to what they were doing that got them into trouble in the first place. It is a way of life to them, not economic or social primarily, but culture.

In jurisdictions where they may get ventilated, there are less home invasions and burglars tend to stick to unoccupied dwellings. Only the hard cases go after targets where they might get killed.

323 318 Isn't a "home invasion" legally a break-in with one or more of the legal residents present?

Posted by: Ian S.

Some quibbles about how different jurisdictions code this and I think you can find a DoJ publication explaining that. But it generally means purposefully going into a residence despite it being occupied and entering in a tumultuous fashion.

Defining it gets complicated when sometimes it is a whacked out acquaintance or family member of some sort usually on drugs or drunk or in domestic violence cases. They may have a quasi legal reason for entry but refuse to leave when asked.

324 >>> 1 in 1.6 million each year.

1.6 million what?
Lightning strikes?
People that try to get struck but miss ( lotto )?

Not getting the analogy.

325 I amost shot the neighbors drunk brother one night. Just walked in the house. Stood there confused while I drew on him. I recognized he wasn't a threat and pushed his ass out the door and off the porch. He starts yelling about me being in his sisters house so I chased him down to her house when I figured out this was the dude she was always bitching about. Sad more than anything. She really loved him and he died a few month later.

Doors always locked since. That whole incident brought on security cameras and being armed always on the property.

326 F1 has become lame-o. Put 20 driverless Teslas on the grid and let them run wild. Major excel-decel plus fenderbending like NASCAR for the win. Big-time gambling venue.

327 >>> 1 in 1.6 million each year.

1.6 million what?
Lightning strikes?
People that try to get struck but miss ( lotto )?

Not getting the analogy.

You are infinitely more likely to be shoved onto railroad tracks in NYC than Podunkt. Not because Podunkt has less tracks but because in NY people shove others onto yhe tracks.

328 Give each F1 team one drone strike. That's what I'm talking about!

THE MORNING RANT: Mounting Setbacks for BlackRock and the Woke Asset Management Cartel

BlackRock, the massive asset management company controlled by Machiavellian CEO Larry Fink, is having a bad go of it recently. Mr. Fink famously tried to use BlackRock’s power and influence as custodial owner of investors’ mutual fund shares to compel corporations to adopt his radical political agenda. Mr. Fink sought to make corporations submit to Net Zero, DEI, ESG, and all the other pathologies of the woke left. With Vanguard and State Street as his obedient political allies, Mr. Fink’s cartel is the largest shareholder of the overwhelming majority of S&P 500 stocks.

Funds invested in a 401k buys shares of stock, but the asset management cartel’s members, as the technical owner of those stocks, were casting proxy votes on your behalf to force corporations to endorse the left’s crazy agenda. The despicable use of your retirement funds to push a political agenda may have just ended, thanks to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, along with AGs from ten other red states.

The Attorney Generals have been suing the three big asset managers, but Vanguard just capitulated, agreeing to settle and stop its woke political practices. But best of all, Vanguard will be providing information to the AGs which may further implicate BlackRock and State Street in collusion and/or other anti-trust crimes.

“Attorney General Paxton Secures Historic, Industry-Changing Agreement with Vanguard to Protect the Coal Industry and Empower Investors” [Office of Ken Paxton, Atty General of Texas – 02/26/2026]

Key agreements include:

• Vanguard will pay a $29.5 million penalty to the 11 states for its role in harming the energy industry.
• Vanguard has committed to not impose ESG goals that affect customers’ profitability.
• Vanguard will no longer attempt to direct its portfolio companies’ business strategies.
• Vanguard will no longer “threaten its portfolio companies that it will withdraw from its holdings unless they agree to act (or not act) in some manner.”
• Vanguard will no longer nominate directors or shareholder proposals to its portfolio companies. The days of imposing green board members and net zero proposals on businesses is over.
• Vanguard will start allowing retail investors (e.g you and me) to have proxy votes for investments in funds of US companies.

Ken Paxton pulled no punches in describing what comes across as mafia-like behavior by the asset management companies. Here are some quotes from that press release from AG Paxton’s office:

Attorney General Paxton’s lawsuit seeks to lower the cost of coal—and, thereby, electricity prices—throughout the United States by combatting a BlackRock-led cartel that sought to drive up the price of coal under the guise of “green energy.”

BlackRock’s efforts produced massive profits for itself and its co-conspirators and raised the prices of electricity on consumers throughout the United States. To further profit on the back of Americans, BlackRock also deceived thousands of its investors who elected to invest in non-ESG funds. The Trump Administration’s Department of Justice (“DOJ” and Federal Trade Commission (“FTC” have taken legal action to support Attorney General Ken Paxton’s lawsuit by filing a joint statement of interest.

“While Vanguard has taken appropriate action to resolve this case, Blackrock and State Street have continued to ignore state laws, engage in anticompetitive schemes that hurt American energy, and undermine those who use their services to invest.

This is a big moment, and what so many of us fighting against woke capital have been seeking. Attorney General Paxton (along with Kansas Atty General Kris Kobach and nine others) deserve abundant praise for this victory against the capture of corporate governance by a small cartel of evil asset managers.

But this is just a start. Now that Vanguard has capitulated, it’s in the position of turning state’s evidence against BlackRock and State Street.

From Will Hild at Twitter/X:

BREAKING: BlackRock is in major trouble. Today, a seismic shift has happened in the antitrust case brought against the ESG asset manager cartel of BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard Group. Vanguard is admitting defeat, agreeing to settle the lawsuit brought by a coalition of State Attorneys General, led by @KenPaxtonTX

As part of the settlement they will pay $30 million in fines, turn over all documents related to their coordinated ESG activism, and end all ESG activism for years to come. This is a massive win. The reckoning is here. This settlement with Vanguard is a major blow to the ESG asset manager cartel that sets the stage for more to come. The Attorneys General sought and got long overdue accountability and a massive course correction from Vanguard. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink should be extremely worried about what could be uncovered next, and who's going to fold next. If State Street folds and admits defeat as well, he will be left on an island on his own.

If it is revealed that there was actual communication among BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street on coordinating their strategies for imposing ESG on corporations, criminal prosecution against those involved is warranted.

The Hotel BlackRock – You Can Never Leave

There’s even more bad news for Larry Fink. BlackRock stock is crashing due to investors who are desperate to pull money out of “private credit” funds. BlackRock has shut the door, not allowing investors to get all their money back.

To be fair, the investors were naive to entrust their money to Larry Fink in a fund that allows you to invest, but not necessarily withdraw your funds. They were seduced into investing in “exclusive” funds that are perceived to be the prestigious investment vehicle of the rich and savvy. Like hedge funds, these private credit funds are fairly illiquid. The effect for investors is that they get statements showing how much their investment is worth, but they are prohibited from withdrawing it all.

Much like a bank run, investors recently started pulling out of BlackRock’s private credit funds, causing a stampede of other investors wanting to get their money out too. BlackRock was forced to tell panicked investors, “No,” they could not pull all their money out of the freefalling fund.

“BlackRock Won’t Let Billionaires Cash Out of Its $26B Fund - That Should Worry Everyone” [24/7 Wall St – 3/09/2026]

BlackRock is blocking investors from fully exiting its $26 billion HPS Corporate Lending Fund after redemption requests hit 9.3% of shares in Q1, well above the fund’s 5% quarterly cap. It marks the first time withdrawal requests have exceeded that limit, and the market is reacting accordingly.

The contagion risk is real. Private credit funds are structurally illiquid by design, and when one high-profile name restricts exits, investors in similar vehicles tend to rush for the door simultaneously. Blackstone, Apollo, and KKR are now under heightened scrutiny as a result.

BlackRock stock is down 15% in the past three weeks, and down about 25% from its high point earlier this year. It may be time for Larry Fink to retire and spend more time with his legal defense team family and let someone without such a tarnished reputation steer BlackRock out of the mess that Mr. Fink put it in.

Other Stuff I’m Writing About

My latest piece at the The American Spectator has been published. “Shipping Interruption in Persian Gulf Is Yet Another Reminder of the Risks of Offshoring” discusses how the major shipping chokepoints (Panama Canal, Suez Canal, Strait of Hormuz) have all had major stoppages or slow-downs in recent years, and how completely reckless it was of the United States to become so dependent on imports.

The utopian ideal of one peaceful, global market does not exist and cannot exist. The various chokepoints that keep getting choked off prove the recklessness of having the U.S. so dependent on foreign imports. This recent shipping interruption in the Strait of Hormuz is another reminder of why economic independence is so necessary. We’d be in a perilous situation if the U.S. hadn’t become energy independent. There is no excuse for the United States to be dependent on anything that can be sourced or manufactured domestically.

This piece is not behind a paywall. I’d be honored if you’d give it a read.

My latest piece at The American Spectator:

“Reckless idealism about global trade has blinded too many people to the risk of having an import-dependent economy.”
