The right to be wrong: When states go off the rails

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – I’ve often said that people have the right to be stupid. If we think about it, States also have a right to be stupid, unless their citizens force them to change. After announcing that their state erroneously registered 6,600 non-citizens to vote, New Jersey Governor claimed that Donald Trump’s claims of thousands of non-citizens being registered to…

The Fauci diaries reveals a self-absorbed little man obsessed with fame

After Dark with Hosts Rob & Andrew – The diaries expose how badly the pandemic response damaged children, small businesses, and public confidence. Those losses cannot be waved away with press clips and praise. They deserve scrutiny. They deserve accountability. If the media still has any interest in truth, it should treat these records as front-page news. If Congress still has…

Mamdani’s NYC-Owned Grocery Stores to Offer Government Store-Brand Products

New York City’s government-owned grocery stores won’t just sell name products at 30% below their market value – they’ll also have their own store-brand products to compete with private free market businesses.Buried in the details of Democratic Socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s scheme to open city-owned grocery stores selling products below market value is a plan to launch New York City private labels, branding them as government products competing with private enterprise, free market products.“Private label” products, commonly known as store brands, are sold to stores by (often well-known) third-party manufacturers, with the retailers’ name on the labels. Labeled as the retailer’s unique brand, these products are then sold at prices below those carrying the actual manufacturer’s name-brand label.Mayor Mamdani’s official website notes that the project’s Request for Proposals (RFP) “seeks operator(s) to accomplish the following goals,” among them:“Private label: Operator(s), in collaboration with NYCEDC, will identify and pursue opportunities to launch an N.Y.C. Groceries private label across a variety of product categories.”The Democratic Socialist mayor’s plan for city-owned grocery stores selling items at a 30% discount from that charged by grocers, including small bodegas, has been widely criticized because it will bankrupt private businesses by forcing taxpayers to subsidize the government stores.The result will be Soviet-style bread lines, scarcity, government allocation of food and, ultimately, higher prices, economists and historians warn.Products carrying government labels, such as “N.Y.C. Groceries,” fit neatly into the Socialist paradigm of replacing private enterprise with government control of resources."If he goes forward with his agenda, within about 12 months, those (privately-owned) grocery stores will all be bankrupt,” Economist Stephen Moore Economist explained in an interview with Newsmax:“And then subsidies from city government. And then they’re going to go bankrupt. They’re going to come to Washington and say, ‘Give us a bailout.’” Economist Stephen Moore on Zohran Mamdani: "If he goes forward with his agenda within about 12 months, those grocery stores will all be bankrupt." pic.twitter.com/wNF80E9Ae8— NEWSMAX (@NEWSMAX) July 27, 2026 What’s more, the taxpayer subsidies will never end, U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Administrator Kelly Loeffler noted in a social media post: “So not only will New York taxpayers pay $70 million to build government-run grocery stores – they will also pay subsidies in perpetuity to keep them afloat while funding unfair competition against legitimate small businesses.”“One more problem with socialism: you eventually run out of other people’s money,” Administrator Loeffler added.“Hi @ZohranKMamdani, I did some math for you,” New York State Comptroller Candidate Joseph Hernandez writes in a post:“Grocery runs on 1-3% margins. You’re promising 30% off. That gap doesn’t vanish, taxpayers cover it.”….“Subsidized city stores selling 30% below market could push 10-20 bodegas citywide toward closing. “This isn’t affordability. It’s a tax hike disguised as a discount and a private business killer affecting mostly hard working Hispanic immigrants just trying to do the right thing and make a living.”Rep. Lisa McClain (R-MI) summarized the history of similar efforts in the past to issue a dire warning about Mayor Mamdani’s plan:“This is COMMUNISM. We have history to show exactly what will happen: 1) Gov opens subsidized grocery stores at 30% below cost. 2) Local stores can’t compete and go under. The city store becomes the only option. 3) Shelves go empty. Rationing starts (“2 per customer”). There will be daily rushes, hoarding, and lines around the block. 4) Quality quietly tanks. Wilted produce, thinner cuts, fewer choices. 5) The subsidy bill balloons forever. You didn’t solve hunger. You just built another Soviet bread line.” Hi @ZohranKMamdani, I did some math for you.Grocery runs on 1-3% margins. You’re promising 30% off. That gap doesn’t vanish, taxpayers cover it.Per store: $5.4M/year in sales, but a 30% discount means giving up $1.6M in revenue, a $1.5M annual loss, per store.Across 5… https://t.co/R1JSPD92Sb— Joseph Hernandez (@hernandezforny) July 27, 2026 

James Comey Asks Charges Be Dropped, Says ’86 47′ Not a Threat…

Former FBI Director James Comey asked a judge to drop the charges against him, arguing that his “86 47” post was political speech, not a threat against President Donald Trump.
On Monday, Comey’s lawyers argued that the government cannot prove that the seashell arrangement constituted a threat, adding that the phrase generally means “get rid of” or “eject” while noting it has appeared on signs at protests.
