When is a treaty not a treaty? When it is a deal of the kind that the Obama administration struck with Iran in 2015. When is a deal not a deal? When it is the kind of agreement that President Donald Trump signed in the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles on June 17: a memorandum […]
The Hanseatic League was awesome.
Leftist Democrats are losing to the Mamdani socialists who think they aren’t radical enough.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said that large technology companies want to have “totally unchecked power” and should be split up. “The problem that we have is that these big companies, they think they are governments, they want to be governments,” she said in an interview with Fox News posted Sunday, discussing tech companies and artificial…
The New York Democratic Party faces extinction if it doesn't wake up and turn out voters to the polls to defeat socialist candidates who are taking over the party, said former Gov. and ex-state Democratic Party chairman David Paterson.
President Trump's carefully constructed vision for transforming the nation's capital is literally falling apart. The Great American State Fair, meant to showcase his grandiose architectural ambitions, has spiraled into a three-day disaster of musical acts boycotting, equipment failures, tiny crowds and now a deteriorating replica arch buckling under less-than-ideal weather conditions.According to New York Times reporting, the centerpiece of Trump's fair—a scaled-down version of his proposed 250-foot "Triumphal Arch"—is already showing signs of structural failure. The vinyl covering, stapled over a wood frame and emblazoned with "One Nation Under God," had begun "buckling" under the combined assault of high temperatures, humidity, and rain.The arch represents Trump's broader vision for the nation's capital: a planned White House ballroom, renovated golf courses, and the repainting and sealing of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool – all of which have come under scrutiny and criticism.Three days into a 16-day event, Trump's showcase for his ambitions is becoming another debacle, with sparse attendance under a sweltering sun, power failures disabling the Ferris wheel for hours, and a cancelled concert by headliner Vanilla Ice with days still to run.Trump's opening performance set the tone. As the Times noted, "Trump gave a short campaign-style welcome speech on Wednesday before a thin crowd, asserting that in his second term he had brought back a country that was 'dead' under his predecessor."
Three days into the 16-day Great American State Fair organized by the President Donald Trump-linked group Freedom 250, the event is already “falling apart at the seams,” argued prominent liberal commentator and podcast host Adam Mockler on Saturday.“Just like everything else Donald Trump touches, this Great American Fair is falling apart at the seams,” Mockler said in a video published on social media Saturday. “We are at day three of his 16-day fair that is funded by our taxpayer dollars to the tune of $80 million, and it’s falling apart.”Critics have already noted what they say are small crowd sizes and near-empty exhibits, but several other issues appeared to plague the event within its first few days, including power failures that stalled a Ferris wheel and melted ice cream.“The exhibits are entirely empty, the fields have nobody in them. Even the main attraction, the Ferris wheel, ran out of power last night and was shut down all evening,” Mockler said. “We have melting ice cream, we have not enough tables so kids are being forced to eat on the ground. And on top of all of that, even some exhibits have a Confederate flag… I mean, it doesn’t really matter because they’re all empty anyway.”The Great American State Fair got off to a rough start weeks before opening to the public last Thursday after performing artists bailed on the event upon learning of its ties to Trump. The president would go on to attack the artists for “getting ‘the yips’” and floated himself as a suitable replacement for the musical acts.$80 million for this??? pic.twitter.com/jvBqQyo5Fy— Adam Mockler (@adammocklerr) June 27, 2026
