This gang member allegedly terrorized those in his own Bronx neighborhood; and yet, Mamdani was not interested in their public safety, only using this for his own; for their own political advantage.

Federal sources said it’s believed Belgal slipped into the US with a migrant caravan in 2022 without encountering border patrol.

By December 2023, the illegal-gang member had been arrested for the armed robbery a month prior, according to authorities and court records.

Belgal was driving with two people in the backseat along Morris Avenue, when he turned and pointed a gun at them while demanding “give me your jewelry or I will shoot you,” according to the criminal complaint.

The victims handed over jewelry and about $500 cash, and Belgal was later caught — but then released without bail pending trial, records showed. This is whom Mamdani referred to as a New Yorker?

His shooting sparked widespread outrage from lefty New York pols and anti-ICE protesters, who swarmed New York-Presbyterian Allen Hospital, where cops brought Belgal in the aftermath — before he was swept away by the feds in a car. How did this mob assemble and spring into action so quickly?

And now those behind Belgal being here in the first place, what the Commissioner to resign. Id the NYPD was not assisting ICE, was this organized riot an attempt to get Tish fired by someone they control (Mamdani)?

Chief, tell us about the dedication to the NYPD yesterday?

Is it possible, now that politics is heavily involved in our pharmaceutical industry, that lives are already being lost?

How do you save this critical industry in this, an age of distrust?

How does public health work with pharmaceutical industry, when neither are trusted in America right now?

Trump's new science push: Is America losing the race for its own medicines?

While Washington focuses on the future of American science, China has announced a national plan to challenge America’s leadership in developing the medicines we depend on.

China wants to develop at least 25% of the world’s first-in-class drugs by 2030, grow its innovative pharmaceutical industry by at least 20% annually, and become a global biotechnology powerhouse.

Meanwhile, American pharmaceutical companies are committing billions to licensing medicines developed in China, helping to finance the very industry that may eventually displace American leadership.

What you are saying is, essentially, that while U.S. pharmaceutical companies are busy cutting their ties with China manufacturing of existing drugs, China has accelerated their pace to lead the world, and control new medicines and treatments?

Recent FBI arrest of CCP spy on U.S. soil shows how far Beijing reaches to keep tabs on its targets!

Joshua, tell us how this case fits into a broader pattern of CCP spying fits into a broader pattern of transnational repression, targeting people and organizations the CCP views as a threat?

It seems so me that this goes far beyond Fang-Fang and Eric Swalwell?

What was Zhang up to which led to her surveillance and arrest at LAX?

Does this kind of spying and intimidation (on American soil) go beyond Shen Yun?

Is there anything the Trump Administration should be doing to counter this threat and intimidation here?

In a new piece for The Blaze, Heritage Foundation senior research fellow Simon Hankinson argues that America is losing an important distinction: fear of Muslims is one thing. Recognizing the threat of Islamist extremism is another.

Twenty-five years after 9/11, a generation is growing up with little memory of the attacks, while debates over terrorism, religion, and free speech continue. Hankinson warns that efforts to broadly define “Islamophobia” could make it harder to speak honestly about Islamist extremism.

Are Americans becoming afraid to speak honestly about Islamist extremism?

What have younger generations forgotten about 9/11?

Where is the line between anti-Muslim prejudice and legitimate criticism of Islamism?

Could Europe's approach to “Islamophobia” offer a warning for American free speech?

After raising premiums for Affordable Care Act plans by more than 20 percent in 2026, health insurers have now proposed a 15 percent rate increase for 2027.

Recent actions by Congress and the Trump administration have made ACA health plans less affordable by ending enhanced premium tax credits and hampering enrollment efforts.

For people who get their health insurance plans in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace, coverage became much less affordable in 2026. Insurers increased premiums by more than 20 percent; the average “benchmark” premium before tax credits jumped from $497 per month in 2025 to $625 in 2026. These increases were partly the result of actions federal policymakers took — for instance, slashing the tax credit some people received to reduce their health plan premiums and imposing new restrictions on enrollment. Predictably, as premiums rose and financial assistance shrank, consumers’ payments soared and enrollment dropped sharply.

Consumers will get no relief in 2027. Insurers have proposed a median 15 percent rate increase for 2027, with significant variation across insurers and states. These back-to-back double-digit rate increases are the highest we’ve seen in the marketplace since 2018 and follow five years of relatively flat premiums, with average increases of only 2 percent per year for the benchmark plan. Insurer rate filings for 2026 and 2027 reveal that the federal policy changes to the ACA are contributing to these significant rate increases.

Robert, can you provide the history and reason for the Sherman Act?

Certain media outlets were banned from the White House over what the President considers as “FAKE NEWS.” This resulted in a boycott from other news organizations, including Fox.

What is it about President Trump’s use of the Sherman Act against his enemies in the media in-which you disagree?

The Sherman Act prohibits agreements among competitors that unreasonably restrain trade. Price-fixing, market allocation, and certain concerted refusals to deal are the familiar examples. The law does not forbid competitors from agreeing about anything at all, and it does not license the government to investigate every collective act that displeases the president.

Does a boycott, organized by other White House press credential holders change the discussion?

Other media outlets seized on the ban providing additional White House coverage to replace those banned media outlets?

EJ, the recent ICE shooting of a Dominican gang-banger in Bronx, NY is bringing calls for Mamdani to fire his Jewish, Police Commissioner.

Not only did Tish’s officers not have anything to do with the ICE operation, there was an organized mob, who attacked her police at the hospital where the gang-banger was receiving treatment.

Not only was this ugly, violent mob ready to attack the NYPD, but what did the DSA begin chanting after the shooting, the Jewish police commissioner has to resign. What do you think about that?

EJ, why do we continue to hear from those who oppose the war that Iran did nothing to us? Iran has American blood on their hands!
