Trump Goes to the NBA Finals -- Look Who Attacked Him
" President Donald Trump, a native of Queens, New York, and a longtime Knicks fan, announced plans to attend a NBA finals game at Madison Square Garden. As expected, Trump's New York political enemies pounced. But take a look at the resume of Trump's New York critics.
U.S. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said: "It's not clear to me that Donald Trump is a big Knicks fan. I mean, does this guy even know the difference between Karl Rove and Karl Anthony Towns? I don't think so. He's just injecting himself."
But NBA Commissioner Adam Silver called Trump a lifelong fan, saying Trump "was a fixture at Madison Square Garden. He was here all the time. He's a genuine Knicks fan."
Now this would be the same Hakeem Jeffries who once defended the anti-Semitic Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan and defended his anti-Semitic uncle Leonard Jeffries, a longtime professor at City College of New York.
In April 2023, the Republican Jewish Coalition issued a statement about Mr. Jeffries:
"As CNN reported this week: for years, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries lied about having only a 'vague recollection' of his uncle Leonard Jeffries' nauseating antisemitism.
"The disgusting remarks Leonard Jeffries made include: comparing Jews to 'dogs' and 'skunks', saying that 'rich Jews' financed the slave trade, and saying that Jewish Hollywood executives 'planned and plotted and programmed' a conspiracy to denigrate Black Americans in films." . . .More...
"Of all of New York’s major professional sports teams – the Giants, Yankees, Mets, Rangers, Jets, and Islanders – only the Jets have had a longer championship drought than the Knicks.
"With a championship in tow, the Knicks will make their way back from San Antonio to what promises to be a hero’s welcome the likes of which New York City has not seen in some time." . . .
"Is it traditional for the family of a student's spelling bee contest winner to set fire to the venue at which it was held? No? Then why the difference? That is a rhetorical question, one to which I believe most of us know the answer.
"Culture matters. Standards matter. Expectations (and assumed consequences) matter. As do simple human decency and dignity. But, what the hell, “Knicks in five! Knicks in five!”
"Now let’s torch Manhattan."
The Tattoo Graham Platner Can’t Explain Away; The media has his back.
"Platner’s statements, not to mention his covered-over tattoo, disqualify him from serving in the senate. Mainers should let him go back to his unsuccessful oyster farm and leave governing to more rational people." Jed Babbin
"This is something of a problem for Democrats because they’ve spent the last decade or so accusing Donald Trump and at least half of America of being Nazis and Hitler."
. . . "Can’t they just shut up already? They made their decision. Platner is Democrats’ Nazi. Like them, he hates the Jews! He’s their great white hope!" . . .
"Absolutely not. The Protection Racket Media would go into full Kavanaugh Lynching Mode at the merest hint of any of the above. When a liberal Republican draws attention to a Democrat with this record, however, it's suddenly a Republicans Pounce™ story, and the Totenkopf gets transformed into a "resembl[ance] of a Nazi symbol" at ABC News:". . .
"The Journ-O-List bat signal has gone out. The story will no longer be Graham Platner's Nazi tattoo, domestic violence allegations, weird Kik account trolling up until last week, or Der Oysterführer's sexting with a half-dozen women not his wife over the last couple of years. The story will now be meanie Republicans and conservatives pointing out all of these peccadilloes, not to mention Platner's victims." . . .
WATCH: New York Times reporter Jodi Kantor – who wrote many of the #MeToo stories – DEFENDS Graham Platner and DISMISSES the allegations against him by @LyndseyFifield and other ex-girlfriends because they were not “abuse” and women saying they just “did not like what” they saw… pic.twitter.com/qMSSXa3XNU — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) June 10, 2026

Hillary Clinton Gets Savaged For Attacking President Trump Over Freedom 250 UFC Fight at White House
The Gateway Pundit * by Cristina Laila
"A ‘civil rights’ group even sued to stop the historic event.
"On Friday, an Obama appointed judge sided with the Trump Administration and refused to stop the UFC Freedom 250 fight.
"The judge said construction for “The Claw” was too far along and the plaintiff really didn’t have a standing to stop the event.
"On Sunday morning, Hillary Clinton lashed out at Trump.
GOP Rep. Tim Burchett and others savaged Hillary Clinton. Burchett reminded Hillary Clinton about her husband’s Oval Office activities
“'No matter what, it’s not his house. It’s our house,” she said." . . .

Bitter Loser Hillary Clinton Gets Savaged For Attacking President Trump Over Freedom 250 UFC Fight at White House Authors of comments below are at the link.
- They literally rented out the Lincoln Bedroom and don’t forget Bill’s activity in the Oval Office. The vandalism that went on when you left was also well documented.
- Woman who stole White House furniture has something to say about "our house."
- Your replies are shut off, of course, but no one degraded the Oval Office of the WH like your husband.
- A hat is as close as you will ever get to returning to the White House
Cristina began writing for The Gateway Pundit in 2016 and she is now the Associate Editor.
The Clintons rented out the Lincoln Bedroom 831 times. "Two of the Lincoln Bedroom’s renters — Linda Thomason and actress Markie Post — are pictured here trashing the bed in the Lincoln bedroom by treating it like a trampoline. The bed itself is considered a national treasure. Expect more of the same should Hillary take the presidency." Doug Ross has the story.
Peggy Noonan; Sept. 14, 1998 American Caligula - WSJ . . . "For seven months I have kept on my desk a picture from a tabloid. It is of two close friends of President Clinton, Linda Bloodworth-Thomason and the actress Markie Post. They are laughing and holding hands in joyous union as they jump up and down at where fate has put them down. It had put them in the Lincoln bedroom. They were jumping up and down on Lincoln's bed.
"It seemed to me emblematic of the Clinton White House, a place where opponents' FBI files were read aloud over pizza and foreign contributors with cash invited in the back door. I thought: Something's wrong with these people, they lack thought and dignity. But most of all they seemed to lack respect, a sense of awe -- not the awe that can cripple you with a false sense of your smallness but the awe that makes you bigger, that makes you reach higher as if in tribute to some unseen greatness around you." . . .
San Francisco Giants Pitcher Writes Bible Verse on Pride Night Hat as Drag Queen Leads On-Field Wedding Vows
"This is not the first time a Major League Baseball player has used the same Bible passage during a team Pride Night. Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw wrote the identical verses on his cap during his team’s Pride event last season."
"San Francisco Giants pitcher Landen Roupp reclaimed the rainbow during the team’s Pride Night on Friday by writing a Bible verse on his cap as the organization had an LGBTQ celebration at Oracle Park.
"Roupp, who started against the Chicago Cubs, wore the special black Pride Night hat featuring a rainbow-colored “SF” logo but added “Genesis 9:12-16” in silver letters next to the team logo.
"The verses describe God’s covenant with Noah after the flood, using the rainbow as a sign of His promise never to destroy the earth with water again.
“And God said, ‘This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.'” Genesis 9:12-16
Reliever JT Brubaker wrote “Genesis 9:13-15” on his cap, and reliever Ryan Walker added a similar reference on the side of his." . . . More...
How One Private's "Stupid" Bucket Trick Detected 40 German Mines — Without Setting One Off
"In human terms, that’s approximately 2,000 lives saved by a farm boy with a bucket."
"June 6th, 1944. Normandy, France. 6:47 a.m. The water off Omaha Beach runs red. Corporal James Mitchell watches his third demolition team disappear in a column of spray and shrapnel. Another teller mine. Another five men gone. The German beach defenses are killing his engineers faster than enemy bullets.
"Mitchell’s commanding officer, Captain Robert Hayes, crouches beside him in the surf, shouting over the chaos. They have orders to clear a 50 m corridor through the minefield before the next wave arrives. That’s in 14 minutes. At their current rate, they’ll lose every man before they clear 20 m.
"The statistics are catastrophic. Of the 16 Navy combat demolition units that landed in the first wave, 12 have taken casualties exceeding 60%. The Germans have planted an estimated 4,000 mines across the five landing beaches. Standard protocol requires engineers to crawl forward with bayonets, probing the sand at 45° angles until they strike metal.
"Each mine takes 3 to 5 minutes to locate and neutralize. The mathematics are brutal and simple. They don’t have enough time and they don’t have enough men. What Captain Hayes doesn’t know is that 100 meters to his left, a 22-year-old private from Iowa, is about to solve a problem that has killed demolition experts since 1939. What Hayes also doesn’t know is that this private has no engineering training, no explosives certification, and no business being anywhere near a minefield.
"His name is Thomas Becker, and in the next 6 hours, his bucket trick will save an estimated 200 Allied lives. The German Teller mine represents 5 years of lethal engineering refinement. Weighing 11 lb and packed with 12 lb of TNT, it requires only 200 lb of pressure to detonate. The Vermacht has buried them in staggered patterns across every invasion beach from Norway to Greece, and Allied casualties from these weapons have reached epidemic proportions.
"By June 1944, the Allies have tried everything. British engineers developed the Bangalore torpedo, a long explosive tube pushed under wire obstacles. It works brilliantly against barbed wire. Against buried mines, it’s a coin flip. Sometimes it triggers sympathetic detonations, sometimes it doesn’t." . . .
"Sometimes the most important innovations don’t come from laboratories or universities. Sometimes they come from someone with a bucket standing in the surf watching water flow across sand and thinking there has to be a better way. Thomas Becker found that better way."
The Great Electricity Rip-Off: Why Your Bill Keeps Going Up
"I have also always felt that conservatives need to be on the lookout for industries that try to co-opt the free market movement, to take advantage of their customers, and do so under the guise of competition."
. . . "A pivotal Wall Street Journal story found that: “U.S. consumers who signed up with retail energy companies that emerged from deregulation paid $19.2 billion more than they would have if they’d stuck with incumbent utilities from 2010 through 2019…”
"The New York Times agreed, reporting: “California and the 34 other states that have deregulated all or parts of their electricity system tend to have higher rates than the rest of the country.”
"Why are deregulated states forcing customers to pay more for electricity? It turns out that the companies that compete with the utilities to sell power to customers are ripping people off.
"Consider a recent report from the John Glenn College of Public Affairs at the Ohio State University, titled “How Deregulation Made Electricity More Expensive, Not Cheaper.” The leading cause of higher rates identified by the report is a group of middlemen called retail suppliers that promise to help customers secure lower-priced electricity. They do this by taking customers off of the regulated rate charged by the incumbent utility – known as standard offer service – and transferring them to a system of competitive rates.
"But the problem is that while these retail suppliers might initially offer a rate lower than the standard offer service, the contracts allow them to auto-renew the agreements into variable-rate plans that consistently raise prices.
"Some might call this style of marketing by retail suppliers a “bait and switch” or a scam. Whatever you call it, it’s not a free market, and retail suppliers should stop pretending they care about utility competition. According to one watchdog, in 2024 alone, retail suppliers overcharged 11.4 million customers in the U.S., a whopping $4 billion more for electricity than what those customers would have paid if they had simply stuck with their incumbent utility.
"Now, even though President Donald J. Trump has eliminated many of Joe Biden’s programs that exacerbated inflation, millions of Americans are still struggling with affordability. With that in mind, I think it’s time that lawmakers and policy experts around the country come together and help the American people with lower electric bills by promoting sensible utility regulation that blocks retail suppliers from overcharging their customers." . . .

It suddenly dawns on Democrats that ethnic pandering is bombing with Latino voters
"Latinos are like other Americans, which makes them a tougher sell for Democrats than they'd like. They arrogantly expect them to fall into line like other special interest groups."
Monica Showalter - American Thinker
Yet recall, the trust is broken, and it's hard to think Latino voters are going to come back to Democrats the way they want them to because they have already trusted them on this and gotten nothing.
New Song: The El Segundo Times - aka @latimes. Thanks for the inspiration @Noah__Goldberg and @LAcrimes (perfect handle btw). LA Times leaves LA for the burbs
. . . "Democrats have been losing Latino voters in droves to President Trump and many Republicans, to the consternation of many leftist leaders, all of whom view Latino voters as 'their' voters, as loyal as black voters to Democrats; "their" property. They always have.
"So, one of them decided to hire a leftwing consultant to try to sort it out for them: Turns out ethnic pandering -- the politics of building ethnic blocs and representational box checking, and diversity based on skin tone -- doesn't impress them much.
"According to the New York Times:
Way to Win, a Democratic-aligned group that focuses on the Sun Belt, including Latino voters, has a new report out today that offers some possible answers for the party.
One conclusion: “The fastest way to lose these communities is to treat their ethnicity as the most interesting thing about them,” the report says.
It’s worth lingering on that statement. Some Democrats have long treated Latino voters as a kind of monolithic group. They’ve focused on Spanish-language advertising, brought mariachi bands to campaign rallies, and sprinkled Spanish into their speeches — all in an effort to attract a growing demographic that is essential to a winning national coalition.
This report suggests that the reality is much more complicated.
"Turns out Latinos are voting Republican because they are more like Republicans.
"These ads by Adrian E. Alvarez, who founded Latinos Por Pratt and did the first Spencer Saca la Bassura ads that were such a sensation, illustrate what the consultants found:" One of several here:

Can Socialists Actually Learn Anything?
Can Socialists Actually Learn Anything? – American Free News Network
"It wasn’t just Mrs Myers’ words, of course: in moving some offices to the Volunteer State, Starbucks is moving to a lower cost city in a lower tax state. It’s a smart corporate move from a business and economics perspective, not just pique at the Mayor’s words.
"But the obvious question is: did Mrs. Myers actually learn anything, or is she simply scrambling to try to reverse damages? I’m guessing the latter." . . .

Scott Pelley’s CBS Complaint Backfires
. . . "He went in there to deliberately insult his new employer and CBS’ ultimate employer with the idea that he would be a wounded fawn and get fired, and then maybe go to MSNBC, kind of a Dan Rather figure, wounded fawn.
"Or he’s stupid and he thinks you can insult your employer.
"Or he thought he could insult his employer, and he’s even stupider and could convince him that Scott Pelley knew exactly what he should be doing and he could tutor him." . . .
Obviously, the finding that computer systems (which lend themselves to such evaluation) might not be corrupted does not mean that the foregoing elements have not been corrupted. For such reason, Pelley’s statement that Krebs’s role was to “secure the nation’s election systems” is plainly false; it was his role, within elections, to secure the integrity of the computer systems.
. . ."To be fairer than 60 Minutes, Pelley was almost certainly in danger of tepid airline food and mere three-star service at a five-star hotel at some point. The horror. Others joined in the fun:
"Clay Travis added, "These 'journalists' really think they have the most important jobs in the world. The sanctimony is incredible. You got paid tens of millions of dollars to be on a TV show people only watched because it came on after the NFL, dude."
"Fox News contributor Mollie Hemingway wrote, "This propaganda clown falsely claimed to have served in combat in multiple theaters because he read TV lines near real soldiers," calling it, "Low-rent Brian Williams behavior."

Goldman Sachs QUIETLY Shifts Jobs to Texas and Florida
"Mamdani is destroying New York one departing business at a time." Comment to this post.
William Reports News "For 157 years, Goldman Sachs was synonymous with New York — a firm founded in 1869 by an immigrant trading commercial paper from his hatband on a Lower Manhattan street corner. In this breakdown, we examine the internal initiative, reportedly nicknamed "Project Voyage," through which Goldman has pressured senior managers, vice presidents, and managing directors to relocate to Dallas or leave the firm, even as an 800,000-square-foot campus rises in North Texas — set to become the bank's second-largest U.S. facility when it opens in 2028. We trace how a quiet regional outpost became a rival power center, and why Mayor Zohran Mamdani responded with public criticism followed by a private meeting with Goldman's CEO at City Hall.
"The deeper story is fiscal. Goldman's move is part of a wider pattern: JPMorgan has shifted thousands of positions from New York to Texas over the past decade, other major firms are expanding in low-tax states, and New York now ranks dead last in the Tax Foundation's state tax competitiveness rankings — all while Mamdani proposes higher taxes on corporations and the wealthy to close a budget gap of roughly $12 billion. At the center of this video sits a single overlooked statistic about how much of New York's tax revenue depends on one industry, and a budget projection that has already fallen short. This is not a story about billionaire grievances. It is structural math about who funds the city — and what happens when those people begin mapping out new addresses."
Meet James Talarico, Radical DEI Activist and 'Defund the Police' Promoter
"Time to start spending some money to define Talarico for exactly what he is: a progressive wolf in "centrist" sheep's clothing."
. . . "Democrats have tried to package the state legislator as a centrist who can connect with Texans in the suburbs, exurbs, and rural precincts of the Lone Star State. They hope especially to push his time in a Presbyterian seminary as a way to connect to Christian voters, particularly with the controversial Ken Paxton as his Republican opponent. As the Free Beacon reported yesterday, however, Talarico has spent his political career advancing a radical-progressive agenda aimed particularly at public schools, and joined forces with a group seeking to "defund the police" in Austin: . . ."
James Talarico trained at seminary that teaches social justice-based preaching: Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary
. . . "The school’s public theology focus area also offers several biblical interpretation classes that analyze gospel text through a liberal lens, such as “Bi.315: Womanist and Feminist Readings of the New Testament,” “Bi.240: Activism and Old Testament Scriptures,” and “Bi.195: Immigration and the Old Testament.”
"Other course options within the public theology discipline include “TH.206: Environmental Ethics,” which covers climate change and “environmental racism,” and “TH.310: Social Justice,” an introductory class to social justice theory.
"The seminary mandates that students in the Master of Divinity program wishing to concentrate in public theology take three elective courses of their choosing from a list largely consisting of similarly styled classes structured around social justice discussions." . . .
Explaining James Talarico’s theology . . . "Talarico has stated that “Jesus never said anything” about abortion, transgenderism, or gay marriage. In his view, Mary’s agreement to become the mother of the Messiah means that “creation has to be done with consent,” affirming what abortion activists call “reproductive rights” for women. Speaking against a bill restricting transgender student athletes, he stated that “God is nonbinary
"In an interview with New York Times columnist Ezra Klein, Talarico said he believes “Christianity points to the truth,” but “other religions of love point to the same truth.” He views Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, and Judaism as “circling the same truth about the universe, about the cosmos. And that truth is inherently a mystery.” Because he is a student at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, the media often characterizes him as a “Bible scholar.”
"Talarico’s positions are consistent with a stream of theology often called “liberalism.” Where does it come from? How are we to understand its core beliefs in light of biblical truth?" . . .
Rising Texas Dem Talarico faces backlash for 'creepy' remark about trans kids
. . . "In the same speech, Talarico also said that "God is both masculine and feminine and everything in between. God is non-binary."
"At the end of his speech, Talarico shared a message to children directly, saying, "To the trans kids watching at home, I just want to say, I love you and so do a lot of people in this room, and so do a lot of people around this big state. I know it may not seem like it tonight, but you are loved beyond measure."
