The Gateway Pundit reported that socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has proudly stated he plans to fund his radical transformation of the city if he is elected: he will hike property taxes for “richer and whiter neighborhoods.”
The policy memo, ‘Stop the Squeeze on NYC Homeowners,’ promises to address a “deeply inequitable system, using the full power of the mayor’s office to both address the system directly and working with legislators at the state level to win necessary reforms” by “shift[ing] the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods.”
During an appearance on ‘Meet the Press’ on Sunday, he doubled down on the race-based approach to paying for his radical agenda, although he tried to suggest his proposal was “not driven by race.”
“That is just a description of what we see right now. It’s not driven by race. It’s more of an assessment of what neighborhoods are being under-taxed versus over-taxed,” Mamdani said.
Watch:
Ironically, while putting forth proposals that will surely drive the wealthy from the city, he complained about the city’s shrinking tax base and suggested a solution sure to drive out even more wealthy New Yorkers: raising taxes on the 1%.
“We are talking about our tax base growing smaller and smaller each day, with New Yorkers leaving to New Jersey, to Pennsylvania, to Connecticut,” Mamdani whined.
”If we do not meet this moment, we will lose the city.”
Although he plans to fund his policies by taxing the city’s wealthiest residents, he expressed his disdain for them.
“I don’t think that we should have billionaires, frankly.”

On Saturday, June 21, The Gateway Pundit reported on Venezuela’s populist leader-in-exile, Eduardo Bittar, who spoke exclusively to The Gateway Pundit regarding Venezuela’s controlled opposition, Bittar’s embattled political career, his exile, and his God-centered political mission.
“Seven years ago, we were exiled from Venezuela, and we started to share our situation with the world,” Eduardo Bittar told The Gateway Pundit.
“During President Trump’s first term, millions of dollars were given through USAID to [former self-proclaimed president of Venezuela] Juan Guaidó’s opposition. This happened because of President Trump’s genuine desire to see Venezuela free.”
“We know President Trump has the best intentions toward our people. He wants us to be free. He wants us to prosper. But sadly, he will be betrayed again and again if he keeps supporting the same opposition.”
“This is the reason why we need to lead the Venezuelan resistance and rebellion,” Bittar said.
Notably, Bittar has coined the term ‘OppoFiction,’ which he calls “a fictitious opposition, and a Marxist-progressive narrative created by [former Venezuelan president] Hugo Chávez that defends anti-virtues, and must be dismantled in Venezuela.”
“This entire coalition, which I call ‘OppoFiction,’ never supported President Trump, even when he supported them,” Bittar said.
“On the other hand, I have supported President Trump in all of his presidential campaigns. I have attended CPAC, and supported him on social media—unlike the fake opposition figures like María Corina Machado and Juan Guaidó, who never supported him. During the 2020 presidential campaign, the entire ‘OppoFiction’ base supported Joe Biden.”
Bittar spoke in greater detail regarding Venezuela’s complex political factions, which have been corrupted by evident ties to international socialist movements.
“Venezuela has two political blocs. One belongs to an international coalition of communist parties called the Foro de São Paulo—that’s Chávism; the party in power,” Bittar said.
“’OppoFiction,’ on the other hand, belongs to an international coalition of socialist parties called the Socialist International, currently headed by the President of Spain, Pedro Sánchez—who now faces corruption accusations.”
“To make matters worse, the second-in-command of that coalition is Henry Ramos Allup, a Venezuelan. He is the most powerful figure in Venezuela’s political establishment. He makes the decisions, alongside Machado and others.”
“Machado is basically Kamala Harris—everything she proposes mirrors Harris’s ideas. In fact, you can look through social media and see Machado supporting Harris during the campaign,” Bittar said.
Bittar outlined his action plan devised for the purpose of liberating Venezuela.
“Our plan is based on revealing the truth. It has three main pillars: (1) Establish true political leadership in Venezuela, (2) Propose a new movement to lead that effort, and (3) Create a new communications apparatus,” Bittar said.
“This last point is critical: Venezuela has never had a rcommunications platform that promotes conservative ideas and thinkers. In the third part of our plan, we are seeking all the political support we can get, so that our project can succeed within the country.”
“If we align these three elements, we could reignite the resistance both inside and outside Venezuela.”
“Our first mission, from exile, is to build a unit that can destroy Chávism—the regime. This is not far-fetched, because it already happened once during the time of independence. We are now talking about a second independence.”
“Our work, for the moment, must be done entirely outside of Venezuela. Anything we try to do inside the territory right now will fail,” Bittar said.
Bittar drew a clear contrast between Venezuela’s corrupt political factions and the active success of conservative leaders internationally.
“We are basically saying that Venezuela is currently like Cuba,” Bittar said.
“On the other hand, in El Salvador, President Nayib Bukele is an example of our mission’s success. Bukele came to power and did the right thing.”
“When the corrupt factions of power in El Salvador refused to accept the necessary reforms, Bukele took a political stance to correct the problem. This is exactly what we aim to do in Venezuela—only on steroids.”
“We need to complete certain foundational tasks in order to make this happen. Venezuela’s restoration must be multidirectional.”
“For example, when we talk about security, we must replicate exactly what President Bukele is doing in El Salvador.”
“Regarding sovereignty, we need to follow President Trump’s example in the United States. On virtues and principles, we should emulate what Bolsonaro did in Brazil. In economics, we should replicate what Milei is doing in Argentina.”
“We are all patriots who love our nations. We want the best for them,” Bittar said.
Bittar named his relationship with God as the most significant factor in his life and his political mission.
“There is no way I could be doing what I’m doing if the hand of God were not involved. God and my family are the main driving forces behind this effort,” Bittar said.
“I can’t believe there is so much evil—not only from Chávism, but also from those who call themselves the opposition. Despite having the support and funding of the international community, they have failed to save our country.”
“God is with us, guiding us through this process. Every time we feel down, God shows us the way,” Bittar said.
Bittar compared his personal and political values, prioritizing “God, country, family, and liberty,” with the “weakness” and “betrayal” promoted by certain left-wing opponents.
“There are lessons to be learned from the damage caused by the left. The principles emerging from the true right are a direct response to the betrayal from the other side,” Bittar said.
“Our opponents have been caught red-handed. Not just the left-wing, but also the soft right and centrists—RINOs.“
“What people demand around the world today is coherence. People want to feel safe. They want a patriot who will defend them. This is not the time for the weak—it’s the time for the strong man. There is too much chaos. Evil is going unchecked.”
“On the other hand, we are true patriots. We are the strong ones fighting for the people of goodwill. We are the people who defend God, country, family, and liberty.”
“When you are under threat, you need a true leader to guide you down the right path.”
“That’s why I believe the greatest hope people have today is to feel represented by someone who tells them the truth. That’s why I talk about Nayib Bukele, Trump, Bolsonaro, and Milei,” Bittar said.
Finally, Bittar emphasized support from the U.S. and international allies as being essential for Venezuelan conservative populist nationalists to advance the country’s path to freedom and stability.
“We are tired of failure. We believe Venezuela deserves real political leadership,” Bittar said.
“We have lost great friends and brothers in arms. And we still have brothers in arms who remain politically imprisoned.”
“If the US government truly wants to help Venezuela, it must engage with those who are committed to fighting and solving the problem—not with those who offer dialogues, truces, and negotiations with corrupt governments based on rigged elections.”
“We firmly believe that, with international support, we can gain power and restore the republic. This can be accomplished in a single presidential term—around five years.”
“The problem is the so-called opposition leaders continue to appear on mass media without presenting real solutions.”
“The greater problem in Venezuela has been getting across the finish line.”
“We had millions of people on the streets as recently as ten years ago. We had the regime very weakened. Then the fake opposition stepped in,” Bittar said.

President Trump had a harsh warning for Muslim communist NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani in an interview that aired this morning on Fox News.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump spoke to Fox News’s Maria Bartiromo this morning to discuss his historically successful week as President, which The Gateway Pundit has covered in great detail.
The discussion covered several topics, including the Operation Midnight Hammer strikes on Iran and his “Big Beautiful Bill,” which passed its first hurdle in the Senate last night.
But Bartiromo would not have been doing her job had she not asked Trump for his thoughts on the dangerous man becoming the mayor of America’s most famous city. When she did, Trump sent him a stern message.
“He’s a communist. I think it’s very bad for New York…But let’s say this: if he does get in, I’m going to be president, and he’s going to have to do the right thing or they’re not getting ANY money,” Trump responded.
“Whoever is mayor of New York is going to have to behave themselves or the federal government is coming down very tough on them financially.”
In other words, Mamdani will cause New York City to lose potentially billions in federal dollars if he tries to carry out his schemes.

After again calling Mamdani a communist and expressing his surprise that New York City could elect him, Trump reiterated his threat.
“I can tell you this: whoever is mayor of New York is going to have to behave themselves or the federal government is coming down very tough on them financially.”

In addition to financial consequences, many Americans would love to see Mamdani do the perp walk should he attempt to break federal law by interfering with ICE operations, for example. One can bet Trump also has that potential consequence in mind.
CNN’s Lisa Ling, host of ‘This is Life’, used her young daughter to push her leftist political agenda and pass down her Trump Derangement Syndrome to the next generation.
In a video shared on Instagram, Ling seemed to be trying to teach her daughter compassion for illegals. Instead, it seemed more like advocating for businesses to exploit undocumented workers with cheap wages.
Ling: So, Ray, what happened yesterday at our favorite ramen restaurant?
Daughter: There was only one worker.
Ling: Who was that worker?
Daughter: The owner.
Ling: Why was the owner the only one worker?
Daughter: Because of the situation of people getting taken to another country, and I think they’re scared.
Ling: So the entire staff at the restaurant didn’t show up to work. And this is the same restaurant that had the help wanted signs out for a long time, right?
Daughter: Mm-hmm.
Ling: So what do you think? Do you think that the restaurant is going to be able to survive with no workers?
Daughter: No.
Ling: And what do you think about the fact that workers are too scared to go to the places where they’ve been working so they can support their families?
Daughter: I think it’s sad, but I think it’s whatever Trump has to do. It’s not good.

Veteran NYPD officers are signaling a possible exodus if radical socialist Zohran Mamdani becomes mayor of New York City.
Although Zohran Mamdani claims he will not “defund the police” or shrink their workforce, veteran officers are not buying the sudden, politically motivated reversal of his prior positions.
Experts worry that, with crime spiraling and a potential mass exodus of police, the city would face a total breakdown in public safety should he be elected.
During the 2020 protests following George Floyd’s death, Mamdani explicitly advocated for defunding the NYPD.
In a June 8, 2020, post on X, he stated, “No, we want to defund the police.”

Scott Munro, president of the NYPD Detectives’ Endowment Association, told The New York Post, “The city would be totally unsafe for people who live here.”
“I go to bed and worry about the phone ringing. I’m worried about my members getting killed. I don’t want to plan any funerals,” he continued.
“If you put a guy like him in there, our people are going to get hurt, and nobody’s going to want the job. It’s going to put recruitment back five more steps,” Munro said.
NYPD brass are quietly bracing for a potential mass exodus unless Mayor Adams, a Democrat and retired NYPD captain seeking re-election as an independent, or GOP mayoral nominee Curtis Sliwa, pull off an upset.
“I’ve had guys call me and say ‘If he wins, I’m quitting,’” a police source said of Mamdani. “It’s just weird that New York City would vote for him. I know he’s not here for the police.”

Despicable Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s stunt to have the entire 940-page “Big, Beautiful Bill” read has officially blown up in his face today after his party got exposed to a basic biological fact they are clueless about.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the Senate last night advanced Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” to a full debate despite two GOP defections after hours of drama.
The legislation accomplishes several critical policies, including making the Trump tax cuts permanent, eliminating taxation on tips and overtime, locking down the border, and taking an axe to Joe Biden’s green energy scam.
Following the vote, Schumer took to social media to vow that he would make the Senate read the entire 940-page bill to stall its likely inevitable passage.
Per Senate procedure, the poor, overworked Senate clerks were to begin reading the bill, which was still ongoing as of this writing.
However, Schumer and the Senate Democrats are likely already regretting this move because the definition of the word “woman” was included in the bill. Democrats have no clue what that word means, and many even think men are women and can give birth.
So, imagine the look on their faces when one of the clerks reached this section of the legislation.
“For the purposes of paragraph three, the term female means someone who naturally has had, will have,…the reproductive system that at some point produces, transports, and utilizes eggs for fertilization,” the clerk reads.
No wonder the Democrats are so angry about the legislation!

BREAKING: While reading the Big Beautiful Bill Democrats READ the Definition of a “WOMAN”

For good measure, the clerk also read the definition of the word “male,” a group that the Democrats have alienated for years due to supposed “privilege” and “toxic masculinity.”
Tina Peters and President Trump are the Deep State’s worst nightmares.
Guest post by Martel Maxim
First of all, Tina Peters sends the following message directly from prison today (June 28th) in Pueblo, Colorado where she is absolutely a political prisoner, no matter what SOS Griswold and other Colorado ‘leadership’ say in order to protect themselves:
“Tina Peters, a Gold Star mom, sits in prison for daring to preserve 2020 election data that exposed fraud. A patriot locked away for seeking truth! Most U.S. counties still rely on risky electronic voting—only a few use secure hand-counted paper ballots. We need transparent elections and Tina’s freedom! #FreeTinaPeters #ElectionIntegrity”
So, if you think that America is automatically safe now that President Trump won in November 2024, think again. The war against the Deep State rages behind the scenes, and a good analogy is that America is living in a tent on the edge of a cliff. Unfortunately the vast majority of Americans still need to wake up to the realities of election fraud, and the danger we are in with the 2024 Midterms rapidly approaching. The Primaries begin about a year from now, and so far, no alternatives to “The Machines” have been codified into any laws, either State or Federal.
A handful of counties have made bold moves into hand counting ballots, however keep in mind that there are 3,143 Counties in America. In other words, we have about 6 months to get it done across the country. This is what Tina is referring to above in her statement. If time sneaks up and the midterms are done with machines because we couldn’t pull off a viable hand count system, Tina’s incarceration will have been in vain, as well as this 250 year experiment of America.
All that Tina wanted to do was get to the bottom of why the election results in her county made zero sense in the April 2021 Municipal Election. In the process of her investigation, she unintentionally found the vast conspiracy that penetrates practically all of America’s election systems. She did it all in response to her constituents reaching out to her there in Mesa County, CO after that 2021 election screamed FRAUD. In retrospect after 4 years thanks to her, it’s easy to see the Deep State Monster she was up against, but at the time she (and really nobody) had a clue about the vastness of the criminality that was stealing America like a deadly cancer.
We were all lied to by Former President Obama saying: “no serious person could suggest U.S. elections could be manipulated due to their decentralized nature“. Did Obama believe that the machines ‘don’t connect to the internet’, that their software is thoroughly certified, and that everyone who votes has their vote count as cast. If so, he couldn’t be further from the truth. (Note that the term “decentralized” actually means that people should only vote in their local precinct, the votes are then counted right there at each precinct, then those numbers are finally transmitted to the county on a verifiable ledger sheet. Next, the counties report the grand total to the state.)
HOWEVER, the reality is exactly the opposite. People largely vote on machines or their ballot is scanned into a machine which leads into a black hole of non-traceability, controlled by unaccountable proprietary software. These votes are immediately vulnerable for electronic manipulation. If Obama was truthful, accountability would actually begin at the precinct level, where votes would have been cast, counted and documented. BUT, as he well knew at the time, that was not the case.
Also, think about this. Since the “Hanging Chad” excuse in 2000 ushered in the age of computerized voting, the number of corrupt and controlled people holding public office has skyrocketed, including judges. This was all due to the CENTRALIZED nature of our elections. With centralized elections, just a few people are in complete control of an election outcome. The explosion of bad people in elected positions of power is what brought us to the brink of the demise of America these last 4 years, when at all cost they needed for Trump to lose, as he was (and still is) their original worst nightmare.
ENTER TINA PETERS, THE SECOND NIGHTMARE OF THE DEEP STATE, because she exposed their vast election cheating system. As the Deep State got greedier and greedier stealing elections, they set their sights on the April 2021 Municipal election in Mesa County, CO in order to continue the “Rocky Mountain Heist” for turning Colorado from Red to Blue. Conquering the Western side of the state was very important to cement their power.
When the election results of that Municipal Election just didn’t make sense to local citizens and Clerk Peters, she began digging, and the more she dug, the more shady things she discovered. What she unearthed led her to not trust the upcoming software ‘upgrade’ scheduled to occur on her system (ironically known as “The Trusted Build”), and per Colorado Law, she backed up her system prior to the upgrade, then also made a copy of her system after the upgrade. Upon having those ‘before and after’ versions forensically compared, the results were shocking. It was unequivocally shown that all her 2020 and 2021 election records were deleted (about 1.5 years before it was legal to do so). It was also proven that the algorithms created a secondary reportable database (2 sets of books!), and also that software commands existed to communicate with wireless devices that were outlawed. Visit https://tinapeters.us/ to get all the details, and be sure to watch the 1 hour documentary “Selection Code” linked from the top of her homepage.
So of course they broke every rule in the book to avoid conducting secure transparent elections. Ironically, seems as though Obama believed that elections could not be rigged eight years ago, then Trump won the 2016 election.
But in 2020, the signs of a rigged election were clear. Remember those famous “3am miracle ballot dumps”? President Trump was way ahead in 2020 then suddenly hundreds of thousands of ballots were dumped in swing states across the country .
For her courage in identifying and calling out election irregularities in her county in early 2021, Tina is continually demeaned and falsely labeled instead as being the rogue election clerk who “Tampered with Election Machines”. All that theatre was in order to justify SOS Griswold’s fake justification to have the machines decertified and pulled out of Mesa County to build a public opinion case of Tina’s ‘wrongdoing’. This entire PSYOP was based upon one expired password being shown in a blurry video online that was done without Tina’s permission. Contrast that with Jena Griswold intentionally posting 650+ active election equipment passwords on her website during the 2024 election. In a hearing to ‘let Jena off the hook’, she didn’t have to show how those hundreds of corresponding machines were not compromised.
Here’s a quote from Technical Expert Jena Griswold’s press agent: “In court Monday, attorneys representing Griswold argued that the passwords were not enough to jeopardize voting systems”
In comparison, Tina had one expired password unintentionally appear in a blurry video, and that was cause to decertify Mesa County’s election equipment after Clerk Peters “couldn’t show the machines were not compromised”. In ironic contrast, SOS Griswold boldly posted those 650+ Active passwords on her website allowing for remote access to practically all Colorado’s election equipment in the months leading up to and including the 2024 election, but that “was not enough to jeopardize voting systems“.
So think about it; we’re just a year from the Midterms, and we can’t get a single meaningful breakthrough for Tina. Unbelievably the Deep State actors running Colorado won’t even let this almost age 70 Gold Star Mom out on Bond pending her appeal. Even if she was guilty of ANYTHING, this would be unprecedented. The bottom line is that when she broke the back of the Deep State’s grip on how elections are stolen, all hell rained down on her, and continues to do so.
Three things must immediately happen in order to save Tina, Colorado and America.
#1-To Save Tina: Tune into the Tina Peters story by visiting her website and learning her story, that is most easily done by watching the 1 hour documentary “Selection Code” linked from the menu bar on her homepage at https://tinapeters.us/.
#2-To save Colorado: get to know SOS Griswold. Go to her X Account and click on replies to about any post. Here’s an example to understand how she’s viewed by her constituents:
#3-To Save America: learn all you can about the necessity to have the Midterms counted by hand. At a minimum the House and Senate races must be hand counted paper ballots, and you can gain a rapid understanding of how it operates at the https://handcountroadshow.org/
America needs the help of everyone to get through this next year. These three steps are crucial if you want your country to survive.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is getting lit up on social media this morning after forcing the Senate to stall passage of President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill.”

I know damn well the Republicans haven’t read this bill.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Schumer treid to force the Senate to read the bill prior to the vote.
X users responded with widespread mockery, with some even bringing up Nancy Pelosi’s infamous “We have to pass the bill so you can find out what’s in it” remark during the debate over Obamacare years ago.

Iranian Shiite Grand Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi, 98, issued a fatwa calling on Muslims worldwide to assassinate President Donald Trump, as well as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Iranian Shiite Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi Wikipedia Commons By Tasnim News Agency, 2016.
The semi-official Iranian news outlet Mehr News Agency reported on its English language site on Sunday (excerpt):
Grand Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi has issued a fatwa in which he declares anyone who threatens Leader, and Shia Marja to be the Enemy of God, who has to be fought against according to Islamic teachings.
After threats were made by the criminal American president and the leaders of the child-killing Zionist regime against the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, and the senior Shiite clerics known as Marja, a group of believers submitted a request to His Eminence Grand Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi regarding the duties of Muslims in response to such threats. Grand Ayatollah Makarem response to the question put forward by his followers is as follows:
“Any person or regime that threatens the Leader or Marja (May God forbid) is considered an enemy of God,” Grand Ayatollah Makarem said in his Fatwa, which is a response to the question to him.
The senior Iranian Shia Marja added that “any cooperation or support for that enemy by Muslims or Islamic states is haram or forbidden. It is necessary for all Muslims around the world to make these enemies regret their words and mistakes.”
Marja’ (Arabic: مرجع, romanized: marjiʿ ; plural marājiʿ ; lit. ’source to follow’ or ‘religious reference’) is a title given to the highest level of Twelver Shia religious cleric, with the authority given by a hawzah (a seminary where Shi’a Muslim scholars are educated) to make legal decisions within the confines of Islamic law for followers and clerics below him in rank. The highest ranking marjiʿ is known as the marja al-mutlaq or marja al-taqlid al-mutlaq.[1][2][note 1] A marji’ is usually also[3] a grand ayatollah.
English translation posted by Mark Dubowitz:
In the name of God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful
It is clear that threatening the leader of the Islamic world, as well as the esteemed sources of emulation, is a war against Islam. According to the Quranic verse “Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against God and His Messenger…”, this act carries a severe punishment.
Strengthening the front of Muslims and the unity of Islamic ranks is an obligation. I consider it haram (forbidden) to remain silent in the face of such threats.
It is necessary for Muslims around the world to strongly condemn these threats and to take appropriate and united action.
May God preserve the Islamic community from the evil of enemies under the protection of the Imam of the Age (may God hasten his reappearance), and reward the righteous defenders.

Iran analyst Khosro Isfahani warned that this fatwa is similar to the one against author Salman Rushdie that has provoked several attempts on his life, including a 2022 stabbing attack in Chautauqua, New York in that gravely wounded Rushdie and left himblind in one eye.
1- This is a Fatwa (religious edict) signed and sealed by a grand ayatollah responding to an Estefta (formal query) directly naming POTUS Trump.
2- In principle similar to murder Fatwa against Salman Rushdie.

Democrat Rep Pramila Jayapal promoted a story claiming that ICE denied prenatal care to a pregnant illegal alien detainee, Iris Dayana Monterroso-Lemus, and fed her food infested with cockroaches, leading to a miscarriage. The allegations, amplified on her X account, were based on a report from the Nashville Banner that described the detainee being forced to sleep on the floor and receiving inadequate medical attention.
Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin swiftly debunked these claims, stating that Monterroso-Lemus received full prenatal care and medical attention with documentation to support care was given. DHS further clarified that the illegal alien had a criminal history, including child abuse arrests and an active homicide warrant in Guatemala, undermining Jayapal’s ridiculous narrative.
