Trump released the following statement on the White House website yesterday, "Radical left lunatics are taking to the streets of Los Angeles — attacking law enforcement, hurling projectiles at police cruisers, burning vehicles, and shutting down freeways — because the Trump Administration is removing violent criminal illegal immigrants from their communities." "Democrats like Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass should be thanking President Trump for stepping up and leading where they refused — and for ridding their streets of criminal illegal immigrant killers, rapists, and gangbangers." Here are some of the sick criminals taken off the streets of Los Angeles in recent days: Cuong Chanh Phan, a Vietnamese national and known gang member with a conviction for second degree murder.

Game-Changing Tips to Elevate Your Digital Marketing Today

Digital marketing keeps changing fast, and what worked last year might be outdated today. If clicks are dropping, conversions feel stuck, or growth just isn’t showing up, it’s time for a new approach. Instead of adding more tools or dumping more money into ads, try fine-tuning what’s already there. In this article, you will learn how to step things up without burning out or breaking your budget. 1. Know the Audience (Like, Really Know It) The most effective strategies start with knowing who’s on the other side of the screen. Dive into the data.

League of Women Voters Responds to Federal Indictment of NJ Representive McIver

Washington, DC — Today, the League of Women Voters of the United States and the League of Women Voters of New Jersey issued the following joint statement in response to the indictment of Representative LaMonica McIver on federal charges brought by the Department of Justice for an alleged altercation with immigration officers outside a New Jersey immigrant detention center. “The announcement by US Attorney Alina Habba of the indictment of Representative McIver for conducting appropriate oversight function is troubling. These charges can be construed as a weapon to scare and silence those who challenge this current administration, which is inappropriate in a functioning democracy. “Representative McIver is the second Black elected official from New Jersey targeted in recent days for conducting oversight within their legal purview. This sets an unsettling and dangerous precedent that dissent and oversight will be criminalized.” Read more →

Senate Leader Backs Cohen’s $8 Billion Queens Casino Proposal

Queens State Sen. John Liu announced his plans to support the efforts to build a casino near Citi Field. The casinos are to be developed by the billionaire Mets owner Steve Cohen, and the project is supposed to be worth $8b billion. The project will have a beneficial impact on the local community by providing jobs and local economic development.

HOME COUNTRY: How’s that you say?

By Slim Randles | CNBNews Contributor In a few days, all those rhymers who lived in Tin Pan Alley back when Gertie was a pup will be fulfilled once again. How’s that you say? Was a love song ever written that didn’t have both moon and June in it? And the full moon will be here in a couple of days and it is our responsibility to go look at it. A full moon is probably the basic cause of most superstitions and spooky stories and maybe even a religion or two. And that’s because it shows us our world in an entirely different light than we’re used to. A moon softens the hard edges of our everyday world. It casts a pall of loveliness on rocks and water and even old cowboys. And you know this is another reason so many people are married. In moonlight, even a cholla... Read more →

Senator Andy Kim Statement Condemning Trump Deploying U.S. Marines to Los Angeles

WASHINGTON D.C. – Senator Andy Kim released the following statement against the Trump administration deploying 700 Marines on U.S. soil: “Deploying 700 Marines on U.S. soil against the will of local leaders and law enforcement is a dangerous abuse of power. Our military is a sacred trust meant to protect the American people, not be used by President Trump and Secretary Hegseth to strike fear into Americans.

U.S. Government Settles Wrongful Death Lawsuit in January 6, 2021 Homicide

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced a $4.975 million settlement today in the wrongful death lawsuit against the U.S. Government filed on behalf of the family of Ashli Babbitt, the U.S. Air Force veteran who was shot and killed inside the U.S. Capitol by then-Capitol Police Lt.

Sanctuary policies protect criminal illegal aliens over the safety of American citizens WASHINGTON – The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has successfully detained dangerous criminal illegal aliens in Sanctuary jurisdictions across the country. ICE agents continue law-enforcement actions, even in Sanctuary Cities. “These sanctuary politicians are playing Russian roulette with American lives.

WASHINGTON D.C. – Senator Andy Kim released the following statement against the Trump administration banning citizens of 12 countries from visiting the United States, and placing restrictions on a total of 19: “Trump’s travel ban is rooted in bigotry, not security.

The Trump Administration has abandoned the ideals that make America a place of hope and opportunity.

About 30 million kids live in homes with guns and nearly 5 million live in homes where guns are loaded and unlocked. At the same time, youth mental health struggles have sharply increased, raising the risk of suicide and accidental shootings.

HOME COUNTRY: It’s the heat that defines us this month.

By Slim Randles | CNBNews Contributor It’s the heat that defines us this month. It greets us at daybreak with its promise, but in an hour or so, it bears down on our shoulders and makes us dream of shade and something cold to drink.

Made it through to another precious June evening when we can sit on... Read more →
