Socialism is the festering heap of broken promises and terrible policies that simply won't disappear. Just think of Zohran Mamdani's lengthy list of broken promises . The NY Post writes "Many of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s lofty campaign promises have already bitten the dust 100 days in, as he makes a U-turn or scales them back almost beyond recognition. His improbable path from Democratic socialist also-ran to victory in 2025’s election came in no small part from the sweeping, voter-pleasing pledges." Mamdani lied his way to Gracie Mansion. It wasn't a matter of him fudging a little bit on 'promises from the periphery', either. The governmemt-run grocery stores were and are a fiction. Fast, free trains were mythical at best. Free day-care didn't stand a shot at becoming reality. The truth is that Mayor Mamdani is breathing lie factory . Some of Mamdani's promises were unaffordable from the start. The promise that he'd pay for these 'benefits...

Amy Klobuchar and Keith Ellison just got a hot mess dropped in their laps. This morning, as expected, the Supreme Court handed down its opinion on biological males participating in female sports . CBS is reporting "In two of the most closely watched cases of its term, the Supreme Court upheld laws from West Virginia and Idaho that restrict transgender athletes' participation in school sports. The cases are known as West Virginia v. B.P.J. and Little v. Hecox." Though the ruling only covered the 27 states that've banned biological males from participating in female sports, it's widely believed that additional lawsuits will get filed to finish what these lawsuits started. Additional lawsuits will automatically require them to challenge the 23 states' so-called transgender laws that let biological males to compete against biological females. One of those 23 states is Minnesota. That means that candidates for AG and governor should be required to answer whether th...

Josh Shapiro, Pennsylvania's Democrat governor, just made a foolish move , according to Salena Zito, the pre-eminent political reporter in the U.S. According to Ms. Zito, "Two days ago, Beth Ann Bossio woke up to the news that Pennsylvania would not have a booth at the Great American State Fair, the Fourth of July celebration underway on the National Mall in Washington." The article continues, saying "The decision was made by Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA), who told the New Republic he would not send a delegation to the fair in honor of America 250 after his administration said it canvassed opinions among Pennsylvania businesses and told the reporter, 'None of them were interested.'" Shapiro might've been ok had that be the only thing he'd said. Unfortunately for Gov. Shapiro, he also said "their disinterest 'reflects the sad state of affairs that we find ourselves in that the president politicized this to a degree that businesses don’t want t...

There's a class of people that are loving what's happening in Minneapolis. After reading this Alpha News article , I'm certain that those people are classified as criminals or felons. The article opens by saying "Another violent weekend in Minneapolis left two people dead and several injured in at least ten shootings across the city during Pride weekend." Minneapolis could get mistaken for Chicago on weekends like last weekend. The article continues, saying "The violence began with a homicide early Friday morning on the 2500 block of Clinton Avenue. Police responded about 12:45 a.m. to reports of gunfire and found a man gravely injured, who later died at the scene. In a statement, police said they found evidence of gunfire in the area." Mayor Jacob Frey has failed Minneapolis. The sad thing is that other potential mayoral candidates are just as bad or they're worse. Saturday shootings At 12:30 a.m. Saturday, police found a male shot near Mortimer’s b...

This weekend's Life, Liberty & Levin programs focused heavily on Declaration of Independence . Further, it focused on the difference between the American Revolution, which led to the most stable government for the past 250 years, and the French Revolution, which led to a destabilization of the French government. Finally, it featured experts like Newt Gingrich and Victor Davis Hanson teaching us about the Declaration of Independence and the Revolutionary War. Meanwhile, Jonathan Turley and John Yoo spoke about the writing and debating of the Constitution. Each of these men talked about the men involved instarting and finishing the Revolutionary War, then finished by talking about the men who wrote, then debated, the Constitution. During his interview, Newt Gingrich explained that our Founding Fathers focused on virtue and building a resilient structure, not on partisan policies. In the interview, Gingrich said that each of us had a right from God to pursue happiness, "whic...

Saturday night, Life Liberty & Levin host Mark Levin interviewed GWU Law Professor Jonathan Turley to talk about the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. It's a timely intervview after Prof. Turley wrote this article about the Democrats' plan for packing the Supreme Court for his blog. Turley wrote "Democrats are renewing their calls to pack the Supreme Court with an instant liberal majority once they retake power. Rep. Seth Moulton (D., Mass.), who is facing a complaint over an alleged assault of a reporter, demanded the packing of the Court due to its decision to allow President Donald Trump to rescind Temporary Protected Status (TPS). Other members have joined the effort, citing the reversal of immigration decisions as the reason for eviscerating one of the most important institutions in our country." The first question that I'd pose to Democrats is who'd protect the American people's God-given right with such an ideologically-driven c...
