Hakeem Jeffries Refuses to Rule Out Trump Impeachment Efforts if Dems Regain the House [WATCH]

/

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York declined to rule out the possibility of impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump if Democrats regain control of the House of Representatives following the 2026 midterm elections, as reported by PJ Media.

During a recent interview, Jeffries was asked directly whether Democrats would pursue impeachment should they win back the House majority.

Rather than dismissing the possibility, he said Democrats have not “ruled anything in and ruled anything out” regarding accountability measures.

Jeffries also discussed a range of policy priorities, including affordability, jobs, housing, healthcare, education, and retirement issues.

However, his refusal to explicitly reject impeachment drew attention as Democrats continue debating how to approach oversight of the Trump administration.

The comments come as several Democratic lawmakers have continued raising concerns about actions taken by the president, particularly regarding military operations involving Iran.

Among the most vocal critics has been Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., who issued a statement following military action involving Iran and argued that Congress, not the president, possesses constitutional authority to authorize war.

“The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic,” Ocasio-Cortez said.

“Just this week, Iran and the United States were negotiating key measures that could have staved off war. The President walked away from these discussions and chose war instead. President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating ‘that often happens in war.’”

“Mr. President: this was not an inevitability. This is a deliberate choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. Stop lying to the American people.”

“Violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson in Afghanistan. And we are about to learn it again in Iran. Bombs have yet to create enduring democracies in the region, and this will be no different.”

“In moments of war, our Constitution is unambiguous: Congress authorizes war. The President does not. I will do my part to uphold our Constitution by voting YES on Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie’s War Powers Resolution. Every member of Congress must join us in rejecting this aimless war.”

While Ocasio-Cortez did not explicitly call for impeachment in that statement, several House Democrats have formally introduced impeachment measures against Trump during the current Congress.

On Dec. 10, 2025, Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, introduced H. Res. 939 seeking to impeach the president for high crimes and misdemeanors.

The House voted the following day to table the resolution by a vote of 237-140, while 47 members voted present. According to the vote breakdown, 140 Democrats opposed tabling the resolution, while 47 voted present.

Twenty-three Democrats joined Republicans in voting to stop the measure.

Additional impeachment efforts followed. Rep. Shri Thanedar, D-Mich., introduced H. Res. 353 in April 2025, containing articles accusing Trump of high crimes and misdemeanors.

Later, Rep. John Larson, D-Conn., introduced H. Res. 1155 in April 2026. That resolution was referred to the House Judiciary Committee for consideration.

Jeffries’ recent comments arrive as both parties prepare for the 2026 midterm elections, which will determine control of the House and Senate for the remainder of Trump’s second term.

Should Democrats regain the House majority, they would control committee leadership positions, subpoena authority, hearing schedules, and the legislative agenda in the chamber.

Whether impeachment would become part of that agenda remains an open question, with Jeffries declining to remove the possibility from consideration.

Twelve Killed After Tragic Plane Crash in Missouri [WATCH]

Twelve Killed After Tragic Plane Crash in Missouri [WATCH]

/

A small community in Missouri is reeling after a devastating plane crash claimed the lives of twelve people on Sunday morning.

The tragedy unfolded around 11:35 a.m., sending shockwaves through local residents and leaving federal investigators scrambling for answers, as reported by Townhall.

According to preliminary information, the aircraft was carrying eleven skydivers and one pilot when it went down. Emergency response teams rushed to the scene, but there were no survivors.

The National Transportation Safety Board has taken control of the investigation and will work to determine what caused the plane to suddenly fall from the sky.

Local media outlets report that the plane was likely on a recreational skydiving trip, a popular activity in the region.

Witnesses claim they saw the aircraft descending rapidly before it burst into flames upon impact. Officials have not yet released the names of the victims, pending notification of their families.

Federal officials have already arrived in Missouri to begin the painstaking process of sorting through debris and data to understand what went wrong.

Early speculation has centered on potential mechanical failure, though nothing has been confirmed.

Authorities say the wreckage is spread across a wide rural area, suggesting the plane may have broken apart midair. That will make the investigation even more complicated, as pieces will need to be collected and analyzed for evidence of malfunction.

The local sheriff’s office described the crash site as “a scene of complete destruction.” First responders worked throughout the day to extinguish fires and recover remains.

Despite the difficult conditions, officials have praised the bravery of rescue crews who rushed into the wreckage to search for survivors.

Residents nearby told reporters that they heard a loud roar followed by what sounded like an explosion. Moments later, plumes of black smoke were seen rising from the field.

For many in the area, the shock of seeing such a disaster up close has been overwhelming.

Community leaders have expressed their condolences, noting that the victims were likely thrill-seekers doing what they loved. Churches across the county have planned prayer vigils, and local officials have pledged support to the families affected.

While investigators are just beginning their work, NTSB officials say it could take months before a full report is released. Every piece of the plane will be cataloged and tested to establish whether weather conditions, equipment failure, or human error played a role.

As often happens with such tragedies, the crash has reignited debate over aviation safety in small aircraft used for recreation.

Skydiving operations, in particular, operate under less scrutiny than commercial flights, and previous accidents have raised concerns about maintenance and training standards.

Aviation experts say the next few weeks will be critical as investigators gather flight records, maintenance logs, and pilot history. If a defect or failure is found, the Federal Aviation Administration could issue new safety guidelines to prevent similar tragedies.

For now, the tight-knit Missouri community must come to terms with the sudden loss of twelve lives. It is a painful reminder that risk is part of the thrill for some, yet the human cost of any accident remains immense.

Across the state and beyond, hearts are heavy for those who will never return from what was supposed to be another ordinary jump into the sky.

President Trump Warns France to Scrap Tech Tax or Face Crushing 100 Percent Wine Tariffs

President Trump Warns France to Scrap Tech Tax or Face Crushing 100 Percent Wine Tariffs

/

President Donald Trump says France could face a major trade dispute with the United States if it continues imposing a digital services tax on large American technology companies, as reported by the New York Post.

In an interview published June 15, Trump said he personally warned outgoing French President Emmanuel Macron that France must eliminate its tax on American tech firms or risk facing steep tariffs on French wine and champagne exports entering the United States.

“I asked him not to charge American companies, and if they do, I have no choice but to charge a 100% tariff on all champagnes and all wines coming out of France,” Trump told The New York Post.

“All [Macron] has to do is get rid of the sales tax, and he wouldn’t have that kind of pressure.”

The warning comes just before leaders gather for the Group of Seven summit in Évian-les-Bains, France. The annual meeting brings together leaders from several of the world’s largest advanced economies to discuss trade, security, and economic policy.

Trump’s comments also challenge recent statements from Macron’s office suggesting that disagreements between Washington and Paris over the digital tax had largely been resolved.

According to reporting cited by the Post, a senior source close to the French president told reporters last week that the issue was “no longer up for debate” among G7 nations.

A U.S. official reportedly disputed that characterization, calling it “not accurate.”

France’s digital services tax, often referred to as the GAFAM tax, was enacted in 2019. The levy applies a 3% tax on revenue generated in France by major technology companies, including Google parent Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Apple.

Because the tax is assessed on revenue rather than profits, critics have argued that it disproportionately affects large American technology firms. According to France’s finance ministry, the tax generated roughly $700 million in revenue last year.

The issue became more contentious in October when France’s National Assembly voted 296-58 in favor of legislation that would have doubled the tax rate to 6% while narrowing its focus to the largest global companies.

The proposal was ultimately vetoed by government ministers before becoming law.

Lawmakers had initially discussed increasing the levy to as much as 15% before reducing the proposal. At the time, then-Economy Minister Roland Lescure warned that a “disproportionate” tax could provoke “disproportionate” retaliation from the United States.

Trump’s latest remarks revive a tariff proposal first advanced during his first administration. In 2019, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative proposed tariffs reaching 100% on certain French products after investigating the digital tax.

The White House signaled earlier that the administration remains focused on the issue.

White House spokesman Kush Desai pointed to a February 2025 presidential memorandum stating that American businesses would no longer “prop up failed foreign economies through extortive fines and taxes.”

That memorandum directed U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and the Treasury Department to determine whether a formal investigation into the French tax should be reopened.

France’s position has increasingly diverged from some allies that have reconsidered similar policies. Canada reportedly abandoned its own digital services tax in 2025 after trade negotiations with the United States were disrupted.

Italy has also reportedly considered repealing its tax, while the United Kingdom has maintained its digital services tax under its current trade arrangements with Washington.

The G7 summit continues through Wednesday in Évian. Current members include France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States.

Russia was removed from the group after its seizure of Crimea, while China has never been a member.

U.S. Marshals Boot UFC Champ Sean Strickland from D.C. Fan Fest [WATCH]

U.S. Marshals Boot UFC Champ Sean Strickland from D.C. Fan Fest [WATCH]

UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland was removed from the UFC Fan Fest at the Ellipse in Washington, D.C., on Sunday after gaining entry to the event despite not being scheduled to participate in UFC Freedom 250 activities, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.

The incident unfolded during the weekend surrounding UFC Freedom 250, which is being held on the White House lawn.

Strickland is not on the fight card for the event, but he traveled to Washington and appeared at several activities connected to the promotion.

On Sunday evening, Strickland posted a photograph on Instagram showing himself being escorted from the venue by U.S. Marshals and U.S. Park Police officers. Along with the image, Strickland posted a caption referencing the situation.

“I may have been charged with disorderly conduct. I don’t know what that is, but it sounds cool,” Strickland wrote.

Authorities have not announced any formal charges against Strickland, and reports indicate he was not arrested during the incident.

According to reporting from MMA Fighting, the UFC champion could potentially face a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge after entering the UFC Fan Fest without authorization.

The publication reported that Strickland had previously claimed he was prohibited from attending the event but nevertheless traveled to Washington, D.C., during the fight week festivities.

Earlier in the weekend, Strickland drew attention during a pre-fight press conference on Friday when fans reportedly gathered around him despite his absence from the official fight card.

The situation escalated on Sunday when Strickland attempted to enter the fan festival taking place at the Ellipse, a public area located near the White House.

Reports indicate that he succeeded in getting inside the event grounds before security personnel intervened.

According to MMA Fighting, Strickland managed to enter the venue and even jumped into a WWE wrestling ring that had been set up as part of the fan experience.

Security personnel quickly responded and removed him from the area before escorting him out of the event.

While no arrest was made, Strickland suggested that a disorderly conduct charge could be forthcoming.

Under Washington, D.C., law, disorderly conduct is classified as a Class B misdemeanor and can carry penalties of up to 90 days in jail, a fine of up to $500, or both.

The incident comes after Strickland publicly stated earlier this month that he had been banned from UFC Freedom 250 because of comments he made criticizing President Donald Trump and the conflict involving Iran.

However, UFC President Dana White disputed those claims. White has stated publicly that Strickland was not banned from the event.

Instead, White said Strickland was simply not included on the guest list because seating capacity for the White House venue was limited.

As of Sunday night, no official announcement had been made regarding whether prosecutors intended to pursue any disorderly conduct charge connected to the incident.

Mitch McConnell Hospitalized After Sudden Illness [WATCH]

Mitch McConnell Hospitalized After Sudden Illness [WATCH]

/

Sen. Mitch McConnell was admitted to a hospital on June 14, according to a statement from his office, though no details have been released regarding the reason for the hospitalization, as reported by  The Post Millennial.

A spokesperson for the Kentucky Republican confirmed the admission in a brief statement, saying, “Senator McConnell was admitted to the hospital this morning” and “he is receiving excellent care.”

As of Sunday, no further information had been provided about McConnell’s condition, treatment, or how long he may remain hospitalized. His office indicated that additional details would be released “as appropriate.”

McConnell, 84, is one of the longest-serving members of the U.S. Senate. He has represented Kentucky in the chamber since 1985 and spent nearly two decades as the Senate Republican leader before stepping down from that position at the end of 2024.

Following his departure from leadership, Sen. John Thune succeeded him as the top Republican in the Senate.

McConnell continued serving as a senator after relinquishing the leadership role, remaining one of the most recognizable figures in Republican politics and in the institution itself.

The hospitalization comes as McConnell nears the conclusion of his Senate career.

In February 2025, he announced that he would not seek reelection when his current term expires in 2027, bringing an end to a political career that has spanned more than four decades in the Senate.

Health concerns have periodically followed McConnell in recent years. Earlier in 2026, he was hospitalized after experiencing flu-like symptoms. That February hospital stay prompted questions about his health, though he later returned to Senate duties.

Prior to that, McConnell drew national attention in 2023 after freezing during two separate public appearances. Those incidents occurred after he suffered a concussion in a fall earlier that year.

The episodes led to renewed scrutiny of his health as he continued carrying out his responsibilities in the Senate.

McConnell has also experienced several falls in recent years. One of the most notable occurred in December 2024 on Capitol grounds. The incident kept him away from public view for several weeks before he resumed public activities.

Despite those setbacks, McConnell remained active in the Senate and continued participating in legislative business after stepping down from the Republican leadership position.

For now, questions remain about what led to Sunday’s hospitalization. McConnell’s office has not disclosed the cause of the hospital visit, and no timeline has been given for when additional information may be released.

The Kentucky senator’s staff said updates would be provided as appropriate while he continues receiving care.

New Poll: Republicans Still Love America, Democrats, Not So Much [WATCH]

New Poll: Republicans Still Love America, Democrats, Not So Much [WATCH]

/

A new NBC News poll shows fewer Americans describe themselves as being highly proud of their country than at any point recorded in the survey’s recent history, continuing a trend that has developed over the past two decades, as reported by The Daily Caller.

The poll, conducted for NBC News by Democratic pollster Jeff Horwitt of Hart Research Associates and Republican pollster Bill McInturff of Public Opinion Strategies, found that only one-third of respondents said they were “extremely proud” to be Americans in 2026.

NBC News data analyst Steve Kornacki discussed the findings Sunday during an appearance on “Meet the Press” with host Kristen Welker, noting that the decline in national pride has been gradual but consistent throughout the 21st century.

“Look: ‘extremely proud,’ ‘very proud.’ Those numbers together get you 56%. At the other end of it: ‘only a little’ or ‘not proud at all,’ 21%,” Kornacki told Welker.

“The significance of this, this number is in decline. A steady 21st-century decline. At the turn of the century, three-quarters of Americans were ‘extremely’ or ‘very proud.’ That number’s fallen to 56%.”

The findings represent a significant shift from 2003, when 70% of Americans described themselves as “extremely proud” of their country. The latest results show that the figure has fallen to roughly half of what it was more than two decades ago.

Kornacki said the poll revealed familiar political and demographic divisions behind the trend.

“What’s behind this? It’s familiar fault lines, Kristen, political demographic,” Kornacki continued.

“First, it’s partisan. Look at this: Republicans are almost universally going to tell you, ‘extremely or very proud.’ Look at that number for Democrats. And meanwhile, ‘only a little or not at all,’ 12 times as many Democrats say that compared to Republicans.”

The survey also examined public confidence in major American institutions and found substantial levels of distrust across multiple sectors.

Kornacki pointed to declining confidence in institutions, including the news media, Congress, the federal government, religious organizations, and the Supreme Court.

“Look at this. ‘Very little’ or ‘no confidence’ at all, long list here of these institutions: the news media, Congress, federal government, religious organizations, Supreme Court,” Kornacki told Welker.

“Over the last 20 years, these numbers are 20 or 30 points higher than they’ve been. Just deteriorating confidence. You could see a partisan divide a little bit on these, too. Republicans much more distrustful of the media; Democrats extremely negative on the Supreme Court.”

The poll results arrive amid continued political debates surrounding the role of major institutions in American life. Public confidence in government, media organizations, and other longstanding institutions has been the subject of increasing scrutiny in recent years.

The Supreme Court has been a particular focus of political debate following several major rulings. In recent years, Democrats have criticized decisions involving abortion, nationwide injunctions, the Second Amendment, restrictions on child sex changes, and free expression.

The Court’s 2023-2024 term, which concluded on July 1, 2024, included several significant rulings.

Among them were decisions recognizing presidential immunity for official acts, overturning the Chevron doctrine that required judicial deference to regulatory agencies’ interpretations of law, and ruling that certain fines imposed by administrative law judges violated protections contained in the Seventh Amendment.

The NBC survey suggests that attitudes toward patriotism and confidence in institutions remain closely connected to political affiliation, with Republicans and Democrats increasingly viewing both the country and its institutions through sharply different lenses.

Knicks Fans Turn Times Square Into Chaos As School Bus Torched In Wild Riot [WATCH]

Knicks Fans Turn Times Square Into Chaos As School Bus Torched In Wild Riot [WATCH]

/

Knicks mania turned destructive in New York City when fans celebrating in Times Square completely lost their minds.

What began as a raucous party following the team’s playoff success spiraled into a full fledged riot, leaving property destroyed and one school bus engulfed in flames.

Shocking videos all over social media captured the moment when mobs of people swarmed parked school buses, ripping them apart piece by piece.

Witnesses said the crowd had been celebrating for well over an hour before the chaos reached its breaking point and the flames began lighting up one of the most crowded corners of Manhattan.

One bus became a total loss after fans reportedly set fire to clothing and tossed the burning pile inside.

While smoke poured from its windows, others continued dancing on top of the vehicle as if they were performing in a music video.

WATCH:

Others jumped from hood to hood, laughing as chunks of metal peeled away from the school buses that serve New York’s children.

Many onlookers were horrified.

Cell phone footage showed broken glass across the streets and beer bottles shattering on the pavement.

One frightened young man shouted, “I’m scared for my homies!” over the mayhem while horns blared and people screamed in every direction.

Even some of the partygoers seemed to realize how insane it had gotten.

A woman’s voice cut through the crowd yelling, “You know our taxpayer dollars go to public schools, right?”

Her comment barely registered as the mob kept wrecking whatever stood in reach.

Police say they finally moved in close to 2:30 in the morning after chaos had unfolded for well over an hour.

By that time the school bus was reduced to a twisted, burnt-out shell.

Despite the destruction, officers reported no immediate arrests.

The choice to hold off had locals questioning once again whether New York leadership has completely lost control of its streets.

The rampage reportedly began when a few people tore mirrors and grills from the parked trucks.

One shirtless man was seen ripping a grill clean off, slamming it on the ground, and stomping it into pieces while the crowd cheered him on.

Within minutes, dozens had joined him, feeding off the rage and energy of the mob.

Graffiti appeared across another bus that was tagged with “Let’s Go Knicks” and an obscene anti-ICE message.

The celebration that should have honored a basketball victory had turned into an anti-authority circus.

It was not about sports anymore; it was about an unhinged crowd testing how far it could go without consequences.

One bus owner tried to stop the destruction of his vehicle.

“This is coming out of my check!” he pleaded with the mob, desperately standing in front of his bus like a human shield.

His attempt at reason was nearly drowned out by chants of “Knicks! Knicks!” echoing down 42nd Street.

The chaotic crowd barely noticed his desperation.

Witnesses say the entire ordeal mirrored the disorder that has plagued New York as city leadership bends to so-called “soft on crime” priorities.

It was another scene from the post-law-and-order era where mobs turn property damage into sport while police hover on the sideline waiting for political clearance to act.

Times Square, long considered the city’s heartbeat, looked more like a postgame war zone than a tourist attraction.

The crowds had left behind twisted metal, broken glass, graffiti, and burn marks along a stretch of the city’s busiest avenue.

WATCH:

For shop owners and workers who cleaned up Sunday morning, there was little sense of celebration left.

Local business owners expressed frustration with how long it took the city to respond, saying the vandalism was predictable and preventable.

Residents, still scarred from years of increasing street chaos, said the Knicks’ success should have been a bright spot instead of another excuse for lawlessness.

Once again, New Yorkers found themselves asking what happened to basic accountability.

A group of basketball fans turned a joyous night into a destructive free-for-all while police stood by “monitoring the situation.”

For a city already struggling with public safety, that explanation only raises more questions.

The frightening truth is that this episode was not just about basketball; it symbolized the collapse of civic order and respect for property.

Sports pride somehow translated into vandalism and fire, which says plenty about the cultural condition rotting America’s largest city from within.

When school buses that carry children are burned in celebration, and city officials scramble to downplay the chaos, it says everything about priorities in modern liberal New York.

The fans moved on.

The city will foot the bill.

And leadership will keep avoiding the truth that the crowd was not celebrating, it was simply getting away with it.

Jesse Kelly Unleashes on Democrats, Calls Party the Biggest Criminal Empire on Earth [WATCH]

Jesse Kelly Unleashes on Democrats, Calls Party the Biggest Criminal Empire on Earth [WATCH]

/

Conservative commentator Jesse Kelly did not hold back this weekend as he tore into the Democrat Party, calling it the largest and most powerful criminal organization that has ever existed on Earth.

Speaking on his show “The First,” Kelly reminded viewers exactly what life looked like when Democrats held power and contrasted it with the progress made since President Trump’s return to the White House.

Kelly began by reminding his audience that complacency often sets in when things start improving.

He explained that despite imperfections, the direction of the country has drastically shifted under Trump’s leadership.

“When things are going well, it’s human nature to take it for granted. We are all guilty of this from time to time,” Kelly said, urging Americans not to forget how disastrous Democrat rule can be.

Using a relatable analogy, Kelly said, “Your marriage is going well. It’s been going well for 10 years. How often are you grateful for it? You take it for granted.”

He emphasized that the same principle applies to politics, where many forget just how bad things were when leftists were in charge.

“We take it for granted when things are going our way, and we forget. We forget very quickly how horrible it is when the communists are in power,” Kelly continued, referring to the left-wing radicals who dominate the Democrat Party.

He explained that citizens must occasionally look back at how abuses of power under Democrats decimated the nation’s security, economy, and basic freedoms.

Kelly played a clip of former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas defending his policies under Biden.

The clip perfectly illustrated the chaos at the border.

“He opened up the border on purpose. He used your tax money to create a phone app so foreigners can schedule their invasion into your country,” Kelly said with scathing precision.

His message was clear: the Biden administration did not merely fail at border security, it intentionally dismantled it.

Kelly reminded his viewers that under Trump, the contrast could not be clearer.

“Donald Trump came in. Donald Trump sealed the border. Donald Trump is deporting people. You can argue not as many as he should, but he is deporting people,” Kelly stated.

He argued that Democrats deliberately handed the country to foreign nationals, eroding the rights and safety of its own citizens.

The host went on to spotlight the aftermath of the so-called pandemic policies.

“The government shut down your country over a bad chest cold, and then 90 percent of the post covid jobs went to foreigners,” Kelly declared.

He pointed out that Americans were stripped of their livelihoods while bureaucrats and globalists redistributed opportunity away from citizens.

According to Kelly, this calculated economic destruction reflected the twisted priorities of the Democrat establishment.

Switching to the issue of fraud and abuse, Kelly’s criticism grew even sharper.

“The Democrat Party is the largest, most powerful criminal organization there has ever been on planet Earth because they use the federal government of the United States, state governments, and local governments to facilitate their crimes,” he declared.

Kelly accused Democrats of transforming government into a tool for theft and corruption, all while hiding behind sanctimonious rhetoric about “equity” and “justice.”

He praised the Trump administration and Vice President J. D. Vance for aggressively pursuing fraud investigations, something he said was unheard of under previous administrations.

For Kelly, Trump’s team represented a long-overdue effort to restore accountability within a system deeply corrupted by the left’s decades of deceit.

Throughout the broadcast, Kelly hammered home one point repeatedly: Americans cannot afford to forget what life was like under the progressive ruling class.

He argued that every inch of bureaucratic control the left regains means more censorship, more lawlessness, and more taxpayer-funded betrayal of the American people.

WATCH:

Kelly’s monologue represents a growing sentiment across conservative circles that the Democrat Party’s breakdown of law and order was never accidental.

It was the logical result of a movement that despises national borders, traditional values, and individual freedom.

His biting commentary has resonated with grassroots conservatives who have grown weary of weak opposition and soft political rhetoric.

In a time when mainstream networks refuse to hold Democrats accountable, Kelly’s blistering honesty was a refreshing return to truth-telling.

As he reminded viewers, the American people must stay vigilant, grateful, and engaged, because complacency is what gave the left power in the first place.

Under Trump’s renewed leadership, Kelly said, there is hope that the swamp’s dominance is beginning to crack. But the fight to keep the communist radicals from regaining control has only just begun.

Knicks Victory Turns New York Streets Into Violent Mayhem After Championship Win [WATCH]

/

New York City found itself in complete bedlam after the Knicks finally broke their 53-year championship drought with a victory that sent thousands of fans into the streets.

What could have been a long-awaited night of joyous celebration quickly unraveled into a public meltdown of property destruction and mob chaos across the heart of Manhattan.

Police struggled to contain mobs of raucous fans who poured into Midtown and around Madison Square Garden after the Knicks clinched a 94 to 90 win over the San Antonio Spurs in Game Five of the NBA Finals.

The team’s historic victory should have been a proud moment for the city, but what followed looked more like a riot than a celebration.

Videos from FreedomNews TV showed mobs surrounding police cars while two men jumped on top of one patrol vehicle and smashed through the windshield.

Cheers erupted from the crowd as if criminal vandalism counted as team spirit.

This was the kind of moment the city’s residents and officers dread whenever mass gatherings turn wild.

Amid the chaos, one man wearing a Knicks Finals sweatshirt was restrained by officers outside the Garden.

He was handcuffed and later ordered to the sidewalk before appearing to be released.

Officers on scene said they had not seen this kind of public disorder in years and that many were shocked at how quickly celebration turned into confrontation.

A large number of NYPD officers were called to the area, many wearing their full riot protection gear.

“I’ve been doing this job for 20 years, and I’ve never had to wear riot gear,” one officer told The Post, underscoring just how unpredictable the mood became.

Police forces on horseback were deployed on 8th Avenue to disperse the mob as hundreds more officers flooded into the streets.

At one point, a Spurs fan jumped into a police car attempting to evade the raging pack of Knicks faithful who had surrounded it.

The entire atmosphere spun far from sportsmanship into sheer pandemonium.

Crowds eventually spilled from Madison Square Garden into Times Square, where more chaos broke out.

Dozens of fans decked out in Knicks gear climbed on top of buses, jumping and cheering as if Manhattan had turned into an open circus.

Two school buses and an MTA bus were damaged, with panels ripped off and engine covers hurled into the street by shirtless vandals.

According to eyewitness videos, one man broke off the grill cover of an MTA bus and spiked it onto the pavement while an approving chorus of bystanders encouraged him.

Others pounded the vehicle until it visibly gave way. It was less like celebrating a trophy and more like a city losing control of itself in the name of basketball.

The destruction continued deep into the night as more fans poured in from across New York state.

Traffic snarled, emergency sirens blared, and local businesses near Times Square closed early out of concern for safety.

NYPD reported multiple detainments, though an exact number of arrests was not immediately released.


Knicks owner James Dolan, celebrating in San Antonio with his championship team, issued a simple plea for calm.

“We want everybody tonight, in New York, be safe,” Dolan said during his press conference.

“OK, celebrate, but be safe.”

The message clearly did not get through to the frenzied crowd back home.

For many long-suffering Knicks fans, the championship was supposed to be redemption from decades of disappointment.

Instead, it devolved into a public embarrassment that left police shaken and taxpayers on the hook for yet another expensive cleanup.

The same city that prides itself on resilience now finds itself picking up the pieces of yet another self-inflicted mess.

Even some fans in the crowd expressed shock. Yanal Zeid told The Post, “The city is electrified right now. There’s no further of coming together than this. We are bonding, we’re completely tied together now. It’s amazing.”

That sense of unity might have been the intention, but too many others turned passion into pure destruction.

The scenes from Midtown and Times Square captured a troubling trend that New Yorkers have seen before.

When the line between celebration and chaos blurs, mob mentality takes over.

What started as a rare chance to celebrate a championship became another symbol of how easily New York’s streets can spiral when emotion meets reckless abandon.

As cleanup crews moved through the wreckage and police tallied the damage, it served as another reminder that sports glory does not excuse criminal behavior.

Once again, a moment that was supposed to bring pride instead left the city looking like it had torn itself apart, one shattered bus and crushed police car at a time.

Billionaire Hedge Fund CEO Expands Miami Empire After Feud With Tax Hungry NYC Mayor [WATCH]

/

Ken Griffin is not just leaving New York behind; he is putting up a skyscraper-sized exclamation point on his exit.

The billionaire founder and CEO of Citadel is doubling down on Miami development plans after clashing with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani over the latest liberal “tax the rich” stunt targeting luxury homeowners.

After years of dealing with Chicago’s dysfunction and New York’s hostility toward success, Griffin is now investing billions into Florida’s most business-friendly city.

According to new filings, Citadel plans to add a 300-unit apartment complex and a parking garage with over 1,400 spaces to its Brickell headquarters site.

The expansion underlines Griffin’s clear message that Miami, not Manhattan, will be the launching pad for Citadel’s future.

The company has also acquired every unit in a 22-story condominium across from the headquarters site, with plans to demolish it.

The cleared land will become a part of Citadel’s growing Brickell campus, forming a high-end financial district that rivals New York.

A spokesperson for Citadel confirmed the focus of the development, saying, “We are focusing this part of our development at 1201 Brickell solely on commercial office space. Miami is open for business, and the unparalleled quality of our development will drive the tenancy of leading global firms, including Citadel and Citadel Securities.”

WATCH:

The timeline of Griffin’s Miami expansion neatly tracks with his feud with Mamdani, who made Griffin the poster child for New York’s class warfare.

On April 15, Tax Day, the mayor filmed himself outside Griffin’s Park Avenue penthouse gleefully announcing a new tax aimed at owners of expensive part-time residences.

Mamdani made his case to the camera that the city was finally “taxing the rich,” specifically calling out Griffin and his $238 million apartment.

WATCH:

Griffin quickly called out the bizarre stunt, describing it as “creepy and weird.”

He said that Mamdani’s personal targeting “put him in harm’s way” and showed “a profound lack of judgment.”

WATCH:

It is not every day that a sitting mayor decides to film a campaign-style attack video outside a citizen’s home, but apparently, that has become normal politics in far-left New York.

Inside Citadel, executives made it clear that Mamdani’s brand of leadership would come with economic consequences.

Citadel COO Gerald Beeson warned that the firm’s planned redevelopment of 350 Park Avenue, worth more than $6 billion, might not happen if the city continued to punish success.

Beeson reminded employees that the New York project would have delivered thousands of high-paying construction and permanent jobs, all of which could now vanish.

Griffin has been no stranger to relocating.

In 2022, Citadel formally moved its headquarters from Chicago to Miami, citing quality of life, better governance, and a friendlier climate for business.

Florida’s lack of state income tax has certainly helped, but so has its rising status as an international finance hub.

Miami’s Brickell neighborhood, once a sleepy section of waterfront condos, is becoming the Wall Street of the South.

The move is a direct rebuke to blue state governance that punishes those who build wealth and contribute jobs.

In contrast, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has made a point of keeping taxes low, protecting economic freedom, and drawing in companies fleeing high-tax states.

Griffin’s project is just one of several signs that big finance is migrating southward, following talent and capital away from crumbling liberal cities.

After the backlash to his bizarre video, Mamdani softened his tone slightly. He even thanked Griffin for his contributions to New York, though the damage was already done.

Once a city makes a billionaire into an enemy, that billionaire takes his money, his jobs, and his tax revenue somewhere else.

The irony is hard to miss. New York’s leaders claim to be fighting for the working class, but their policies drive out the very businesses that pay for the city’s social programs.

Miami, meanwhile, welcomes the jobs, construction cranes, and buzz that come with a Fortune 500 headquarters.

As skyscrapers rise in Miami’s financial district, Griffin’s message is clear. Florida rewards success, while New York penalizes it.

While Mamdani plays to a crowd of social media activists, Griffin is busy reshaping the skyline of an American city that still believes in growth.

It seems that every time a progressive politician tries to “tax the rich,” the rich move somewhere smarter.

In Ken Griffin’s case, that new home is Miami, and his investment boom is proving that Florida’s open doors and open markets are still the winning formula.
