Theatre..

 

Democratic representative broke rank within his own party by describing the altercation between law enforcement and Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) on Thursday as “theater.”

Speaking to Axios, Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine) weighed in on the intense moment that occurred during a press conference with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

“I think that it’s never good when a senator or member of Congress gets roughed up by law enforcement,” Golden told Axios Thursday in an interview at the Capitol.
But, he added: “I don’t think politics as theater is what our job is here.”

Support..

 

Following Isreal’s initiation of air strikes against a wide range of Iranian military, infrastructure and political targets on June 13, Iran launched retaliatory missile strikes later that day. 

Israel Defence Forces have continued to receive a range of support from across the Western world. On the other hand, Iran may not be getting that much of support. 

The United States has actively employed ground based and maritime air defence systems to attempt to blunt Iran’s retaliatory strikes on Israel, and having bolstered Israel’s arms inventories for several months, is expected to resupply its forces if necessary. 

The United Kingdom deployed fighter aircraft to the Middle East to provide greater protection against Iranian drone strikes, while a number of unconfirmed reports indicate that NATO members including Germany are providing aerial refuelling support to allow Israeli fighter aircraft to reach Iranian targets. 

Iran, by contrast, lacks foreign support, with the fall of Syria to Turkish and Israeli backed insurgents in December 2024 having left it isolated in the region, while its primary supplier of ballistic missiles North Korea is not well equipped to make major new equipment deliveries in wartime.

Peace looks very attractive at this and every point.  Just a thought.

Collapsing..

 

NRCC Spokesman Mike Marinella stated, “The Democrat Party is collapsing under the weight of its own failures.”

Marinella added, “They’re hemorrhaging support, losing trust, and watching key parts of its coalition walk away at record speed. This is a crisis, and they’re doing themselves no favors.”

In congressional favorability ratings, Republicans have secured a net score of negative 10 percent. Democrats, however, stand at negative 24 percent.

Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin noted that the Democrat Party’s effort to improve connection with voters is “complicated, for sure.” He added, “We have a lot to learn still.

Comment:

The solution seems simple.  South Border, Immigration, Inflation, Law and order, the US Debt, gas prices.  Just a thought.

Chorus..

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., joined the chorus of Democrats criticizing Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem after Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., was stopped by Secret Service agents after interrupting a DHS press conference in Los Angeles on Thursday.

Senator Padilla entered a high-security federal facility under false pretenses and crashed an invite-only press conference as law enforcement are working around the clock to calm violent riots," McLaughlin continued. "There’s no excuse for busting into a press conference and interrupting it. Had Senator Padilla asked for a meeting, Secretary Noem would have happily obliged, which she graciously did for 15 minutes after the press conference."

Comment:  

 Are the Democrats avoiding anything related to efficiency, Social Security fraud, Medicaid fraud, illegal criminals in the country?  Just a thought.

Picture..

Cowards

 

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made a fiery move within New York's Democratic Party, calling the support of Andrew Cuomo in the 2025 New York City mayoral race by establishment figures an act of "cowardice.

Her comments, made days after she endorsed progressive candidate Zohran Mamdani, are sending shockwaves through local politics just weeks ahead of the June 24 primary.

The congresswoman's remarks highlight the growing divide between the Democratic establishment and the party's insurgent progressive wing. 

With early voting now underway and a ranked-choice system in place, AOC's intervention could shift the balance in one of the most consequential city elections in years.

Tes..

 

Ignorance..

 

Settled..

CNN Chief National Security Correspondent Alex Marquardt left the network on Monday—months after the network settled a defamation suit stemming from his reporting.

CNN settled with defense contractor Zachary Young in January after a Florida jury ruled the network had defamed him in a November 2021 report that alleged he gouged prices for those who sought to flee Afghanistan as the United States withdrew from the country. The jury awarded him $5 million in damages; the network later settled to avoid further punitive damages.

Alex Marquardt produced the story and testified in the network’s defense. Marquardt confirmed on X on Monday that he would leave the network after eight years, though he made no mention of the case.

“Tough to say goodbye but it’s been an honor to work among the very best in the business,” Marquardt wrote. “Profound thank you to my comrades on the National Security team & the phenomenal teammates I’ve worked with in the US and abroad.”

Bionic..

The FBI collared an alleged Los Angeles riot leader who helped distribute dozens of face shields to anti-ICE rioters on the streets of Los Angeles.

The FBI nabbed Alejandro Theodoro Orellan

He faces a charge of conspiracy to commit civil disorders, US Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli said on X.

Unsettling footage taken Tuesday showed dozens of protesters running toward a truck to grab the “Bionic Shield” face masks, footage shot by Fox11 showed.

Rioters have been taking to the streets since last weekend and have been seen hurling rocks and cement at federal agents, as well as setting cars on fire and blocking highways.
