“These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power. Our allegiance to American institutions requires the overthrow of this kind of power.” #FDR 1936

This young man has it exactly right.

A tweet from “Adam Mockler @adammockler” reads:
“Stephen Miller just went on Fox News and said telling troops to refuse illegal orders is an ‘open act of insurrection.’ He is telling on himself.
They are planning to give illegal orders, and they want a military that will follow them blindly.”

For all the Dems out there suggesting Mamdani do some kind of end zone dance after this meeting, stop. Why undo what has been achieved? Why try to interpret what is visible to all of us? This guy has a tough job ahead of him. Whatever he can do to succeed for NYers is what we should hope he does.

I hope Zohran is as effective a mayor as he is a campaigner, communicator and person-to-person charmer. (As anyone who follows me knows, I am optimistic on this point.)

I just saw the video by former military members of Congress that triggered the head of the regime and provoked his treasonous tweet.
Wow!

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

For 200 years conservatives had despised Paine & scorned his memory. And one can understand why. Endowing Americans with democratic impulses & aspirations, Paine turned Americans into radicals—and we have remained radicals at heart ever since.
