By Nick Arama We've seen a lot of bad ideas coming from the socialist mayor of New York City .  But the latest idea from Zohran Mamdani has people talking and responding with an immediate, visceral reaction.  It's a new program to watch your children for four hours, so you can have a night out. All parents have to do is drop your kids off with government employees you don't know. Would you do this? NYC, Zohran Mamdani is offering free babysitting so parents can have a date night. Would you drop your children off to random babysitters at a city location in NYC? pic.twitter.com/gtnC8p7r9G — Brookerteejones (@Brookerteejones) August 6, 2026 Social media creator Brooker Tee Jones said: Many people are saying there is no way on Earth they would bring their children to a random park in the city and let random people watch them. Even people are saying, "Well, this is a great way to indoctrinate children." Others are saying Zohran Mamdani is trying to do something n...

Both former NBA players say they identify as women and meet every requirement under the collective bargaining agreement By Zach Dean Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White put the WNBA in an almost impossible spot on Friday when they declared for the 2027 Draft in the wake of the Sophie Cunningham drama, and the ways out are limited. Frankly, none of them are great for the league, which is, presumably, the point. Unless, of course, both former NBA stars are just itching to get back in the game of basketball. I doubt it, though. For those who missed it, Kanter and White called the WNBA's bluff by both declaring their intention to enter next year's draft within hours of each other Friday evening. "If simply declaring who you are is all that’s required, then I meet every requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA," Freedom stated in a social media post. "I'm transgender. I'm a woman. I identify as sometimes identifying as a woman for purpose ...

By Tyler Durden Authored by Debra Heine via American Greatness, President Trump on Friday urged U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro “revisit” her decision to drop charges against an accused Reflecting Pool vandal after new photos shared on social media, showed clear signs of vandalism. The Department of Justice dismissed the case on August 1 after the Department of the Interior had concluded there were many flaws with the renovation project, including  lining that appeared to begin peeling days after installation. The president on Monday railed against the decision, telling reporters in the Oval Office that Pirro had “made a mistake,” and insisting “there was vandalism.” Trump conceded that he was not “100 percent thrilled with the contractor,” but made clear that he was disappointed in Pirro. “Frankly, I think she choked,” Trump said. “Because the judge was really vicious. Instead of going after the people that did it, the judge went after her and went after her department, and I g...

By BREITBART LONDON MADRID (AP) – A diplomatic spat between Spain and Italy over the rush of tens of thousands of migrants to the Spanish territory of Ceuta escalated on Saturday after the government in Madrid announced border controls on Italian travelers in response to Rome’s decision to impose sanctions on visitors from Spain. Italians arriving at Barcelona airport were subject to random police checks after the controls were put into effect overnight, according to Spain's state news agency EFE. The Spanish government said the controls would stay in place for at least a month after Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni rejected Spain´s warning on Friday that it would take “proportionate measures to protect the interests and dignity of its citizens” if Rome didn't lift its own restrictions by an Aug. 9 deadline. Italy began enforcing air and sea border controls on Spanish citizens on Aug. 1 following Meloni's scathing criticism of the progressive migration...

By David Manney President Donald Trump got handed an ugly jobs headline Friday. The economy lost 23,000 payroll jobs in July, and revisions erased another 103,000 jobs from May and June . Both nonfarm payroll employment (-23,000) and the unemployment rate (4.1 percent) changed little in July, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Employment declined in local government education and retail trade. Employment continued to trend up in health care. This news release presents statistics from two monthly surveys. The household survey measures labor force status, including unemployment, by demographic characteristics. The establishment survey measures nonfarm employment, hours, and earnings by industry. For more information about the concepts and statistical methodology used in these two surveys, see the Technical Note. Household Survey Data Both the unemployment rate, at 4.1 percent, and the number of unemployed people, at 6.9 million, changed little in July. These measur...

By Teri Christoph A Medal of Honor recipient is looking for a date to the Marine Corps ball and has set himself a lofty goal: he wants to take Indiana Fever megastar Sophie Cunningham. And social media is rallying behind him. Dakota Meyer, who received the Medal of Honor from President Barack Obama back in 2011, decided to have some fun with his dream date quest by putting it out on X for all to see, even tagging Cunningham. Meyer didn't say which of the many Marine Corps balls held each year he had in mind, but it's likely to be one taking place around the Corps' November 10th birthday. That gives him a few months to pull it off. "Okay, hear me out…," he wrote. "What do y’all think? Me. @sophaller . The Marine Corps Ball this year…" Okay, hear me out… What do y’all think? Me. @sophaller . The Marine Corps Ball this year… — Dakota Meyer (@Dakota_Meyer) August 6, 2026 Hey, why not? Plenty of folks have found love on social media, and you don'...

By Nick Arama President Donald Trump managed to pull off a win in the early hours of Saturday morning as his nominee for Attorney General, Todd Blanche , was finally confirmed by the Senate. 🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: Todd Blanche CONFIRMED as US Attorney General after President Trump refused to back down to the RINOs Final vote: 50-49 Congratulations, @DAGToddBlanche !

Blanche's confirmation had been up in the air as two Republicans, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) , announced their opposition.  But Blanche got some unexpected help, as we reported. Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) had announced on Friday that he would back Blanche’s confirmation after holding close to the vest how he was going to vote.  Although he expressed concerns about the anti-weaponization fund, he argued Blanche would be be...

(photo credit: 2026 PLANET LABS PBC/Handout via REUTERS) By MAARIV No tankers have loaded at Kharg Island, Iran’s main export terminal, for at least a week, recent shipping and satellite data show, suggesting that the renewed US naval blockade has brought Tehran ’s crude oil sales to a halt, the Financial Times reported on Friday.  The US reimposed a naval blockade on Iranian ports in mid-July after an interim agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz collapsed.  Operations at Kharg Island, vital to Iran's oil industry, halted on July 31, according to Kpler and Energy Aspects, two intelligence providers for global energy, commodity, and shipping.  Satellite images revealed that all three berths on the island had been "empty for an extended period of time," maritime intelligence company Windward said. On Tuesday, only 16 vessels were anchored in the waiting area around K...

By Nick Arama It's been ten years since Hillary Clinton lost her race to be president, her hopes dashed by the guy she thought she could easily beat, and who has now gone on to another term.  Yet, she still seems fully obsessed with him. So he not only beat her in that race, but he's beaten her ever since, if she has him constantly living rent-free in her mind.  Clinton appeared on Kara Swisher's Pivot podcast, and she spoke about what Democrats should do if they were able to take back the White House in the future.  Hillary Clinton: A Democrat president must "get rid of all" Trump admin people so they don't subvert the Democrat administration. "Do not let anybody hang around in some small office somewhere."
