For most Americans, it’s been a long cold winter. But as February draws to a close, most of us are dreaming of spring:  the flowers, the sun, the warm weather, the chance to get back outside, and – of course – spring cleaning.

Spring cleaning is a rite of passage of the seasons. An opportunity to clean up from winter, put away the snow shovels, and get your house and yard in order. Over the last few years, as more and more Americans have focused on their health and well being, something new has become almost as popular as spring cleaning: a spring cleanse.

Like a spring cleaning that is focused on getting your house and yard in order, a spring cleanse is intended to give your body a reset and prepare yourself for the rest of the year.

A spring cleanse is a perfect opportunity to address an issue facing millions of Americans, but one that is largely ignored by the medical establishment:  parasites.

The Threat of Parasites

Before the healthcare bureaucracy’s myopic focus on COVID-19 and other potential pandemics, the Centers for the Disease Control issued a stunning warning about the threat of parasitic diseases here in the United States:

Most people think parasitic diseases occur in poor and developing countries, or are infections they might pick up on a trip to a foreign country. However, parasitic infections also occur in the United States, and in some cases affect millions of people. Often they can go unnoticed, with few symptoms. But many times the infections cause serious illnesses, including seizures, blindness, pregnancy complications, heart failure, and even death. Anyone—regardless of race or economic status—can become infected.

The threat of parasites is just as high today, as it was just five years ago – the only difference is that our healthcare establishment has all but abandoned doing the necessary work of empowering Americans to take control of their health and preventing dangerous healthcare outcomes before they occur.

Fortunately, freedom-fighting doctors like Dr. Peter McCullough are now speaking up about the threats posed by parasites. In a post on his widely-read SubStack, Dr. McCullough says:

While each illness has diagnostic strategies followed by care providers, many patients want to take a proactive stance with respect to parasites. The CDC says the burden of parasitic diseases among Americans is high.

• More than 300,000 people living in the United States are infected with Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite that causes Chagas disease, and more than 300 infected babies are born every year.

• There are at least 1,000 hospitalizations for symptomatic cysticercosis per year in the United States.

• At least 14 percent of the U.S. population has been exposed to Toxocara, the parasite that causes toxocariasis, and each year at least 70 people—most of them children—are blinded by resulting eye disease.

• More than 60 million people in the United States are chronically infected with Toxoplasma gondii, the parasite that causes toxoplasmosis; new infections in pregnant women can lead to birth defects and infections in those with compromised immune systems can be fatal.

• Trichomoniasis can cause pregnancy problems and increase the risk of other sexually transmitted infections including HIV. The Trichomonas parasite is extremely common, affecting 3.7 million people in the United States, although it is easily treatable.

 Not only is Dr. McCullough sounding the alarm about the threat of parasites, McCullough is also offering Americans the ability to do something about this threat:

School officials in Lee County, Florida have taken sweeping disciplinary action against students who abandoned classrooms to participate in coordinated anti-ICE walkout protests earlier this month.

According to district officials, 2,480 students were identified for engaging in disruptive conduct during demonstrations that took place between February 4 and February 6, part of a broader protest movement that involved more than 3,600 students across 14 schools in the county.

And now, discipline is coming down.

School officials confirmed that dozens of Lee County Public School students have already been suspended for their involvement in the demonstrations, with the district warning that more punishments are likely as administrators continue reviewing surveillance footage and eyewitness reports from the protests, Gulf Coast News reported.

Administrators say the disciplinary measures were not handed down for political viewpoints, but rather for violations of the district’s Student Code of Conduct, including leaving class without permission, creating unsafe conditions, and refusing to comply with instructions from school staff.

District officials categorized the violations as follows, according to Gulf Coast News:

• 2,037 students skipped class or arrived late
• 393 students committed safety violations
• 50 students were cited for insubordination or disrespect

Students who left campus during instructional hours, in some cases reportedly jumping fences or exiting through unauthorized areas, created what Superintendent Dr. Denise Carlin described as unsafe situations for both themselves and others.

Based on the severity of the infraction and each student’s behavioral history, the district imposed the following consequences:

• 11 recommendations for reassignment to Success Academy

• 134 out-of-school suspensions

• 40 in-school suspensions

• 43 student conferences

• 7 parent meetings

• 208 Level III interventions, including:

  • Behavior contracts

  • Loss of extracurricular privileges

  • Restitution

• 2,037 warnings and/or assignment zeroes

District officials emphasized that the overwhelming majority of students, 96%, remained in class and complied with school rules during the protests.

“The safety and security of our schools is our top priority,” Carlin stated. “Ninety-six percent of our students adhered to the Student Code of Conduct by remaining in class and focused on their education during the protests.”

Officials also confirmed that additional disciplinary actions may still be forthcoming as administrators continue reviewing surveillance footage and eyewitness reports from the demonstrations.

The investigation remains ongoing.

It has been reported that the teachers’ union might have orchestrated the walkout.

In a recent appearance on “The Benny Show,” Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon issued a stark warning regarding potential immigration fraud committed by Rep. Ilhan Omar.

Dhillon, speaking with host Benny Johnson, highlighted longstanding questions about Omar’s naturalization process and emphasized that fraud in obtaining citizenship could result in denaturalization.

During the interview, Dhillon stated, “It’s a truism of immigration law that if you commit fraud in the course of obtaining your citizenship… if you lie about your marriage status on which your citizenship depends or your familial status or what have you, if you fake any of those documents or you lie that’s a grounds for denaturalization and so I think it’s been credibly alleged that there are serious questions about the circumstances of the paperwork around that naturalization. I’ll just leave it at that.”

Dhillon, who is not directly involved in investigating Omar, noted that the allegations have been well-covered in the press but stressed the importance of policing such matters seriously. She expressed pride in her own naturalized citizenship and argued that it should not be taken lightly.

Omar, who was born in Somalia and became a U.S. citizen in 2000, has long faced scrutiny over the circumstances of her and her brother’s immigration.

Allegations include claims that she married her brother in 2009 to facilitate his immigration, potentially constituting fraud.

Congressional Republicans, including Rep. Nancy Mace, have pushed for subpoenas related to Omar’s records and family ties, but so far, the efforts have been blocked.

“Democrats and Republicans teamed up to kill our motion to subpoena the records,” Rep. Mace said in a press release in January. “Washington did what it always does: protect its own. The American people are sick of backroom deals and selective accountability.”

“If these allegations are true, they raise grave concerns involving potential marriage fraud, immigration fraud, and violations of federal and state law,” Mace continued. “No one, no matter how politically protected, should be above the law.”

More recently, the Justice Department has been investigating Omar’s finances, including a dramatic increase in her net worth since entering Congress.

Trump announced the investigation in January, as part of the broader fraud probes in Minnesota’s Somali community.

In a post to Truth Social on January 26, the president wrote, “a major investigation is going on with respect to the massive 20 Billion Dollar, Plus, Welfare Fraud that has taken place in Minnesota, and is at least partially responsible for the violent organized protests going on in the streets. Additionally, the DOJ and Congress are looking at ‘Congresswoman’ Illhan Omar, who left Somalia with NOTHING, and is now reportedly worth more than 44 Million Dollars. Time will tell all. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT”

Omar has denied all allegations, claiming that they are politically motivated attacks.

Mayor Mamdani has the votes to implement his destructive socialist rent-freeze program.

The rent freeze, a day-one promise that critics said was impossible, is likely coming this June through the New York City Rent Guidelines Board (RGB), rather than the City Council or State Legislature.

As of February 2026, Mayor Mamdani reshaped the board by appointing a majority aligned with his campaign pledge to freeze rents for the city’s nearly one million rent-stabilized apartments.

This month, three board members originally appointed under Eric Adams resigned or stepped aside, allowing Mamdani to appoint six members to the nine-member board. That effectively stacked the deck for a June 2026 vote.

While the mayor cannot legally order a rent freeze, his power to appoint board members is his primary lever of control.

Critics, including landlord groups such as the New York Apartment Association, have already signaled potential legal challenges, arguing that the board must base its decision on economic data, such as inflation and building costs, rather than political mandates.

Mayor Mamdani immediately appointed six new members, including a new chair, Chantella McChill.

This gives him a decisive hand-picked majority on the nine-member board much earlier than expected. On the surface, this sounds like a victory for tenants staring at a lease renewal, but in economics, there are no solutions, only trade-offs.

Looking at the data from St. Paul and San Francisco shows that rent freezes not only hurt landlords, but also cause new construction to grind to a halt and units to be removed from the rental market.

In 2021, St. Paul, Minnesota, passed one of the strictest rent-control laws in the United States, a 3 percent cap with no exemption for new construction.

Immediately after the law passed, housing permits in St. Paul dropped by 80 percent, while permits in neighboring Minneapolis, which had no such cap, rose.

Developers and lenders argued that with frozen or capped revenue, they could not secure the bank loans needed to build. By 2022 and 2023, the city was forced to water down the law, exempting new buildings for 20 years just to restart construction.

A well-known 2018 Stanford study analyzed the long-term effects of San Francisco’s rent-control expansion in 1994. While the law kept current tenants in their homes 20 percent more often, it also incentivized landlords to exit the rental market.

Landlords reduced the supply of rental housing by 15 percent by converting apartments into luxury condominiums or tenancies-in-common to escape the regulations.

This reduction in supply drove citywide rents up by 5.1 percent for everyone else. Instead of keeping the city affordable, it accelerated gentrification by replacing middle-income rental units with high-end, owner-occupied housing.

A rent freeze not only reduces costs for renters, it also decreases income for landlords. While socialists are conditioned to view landlords as parasitic enemies, the economic reality is that they are businesspeople who operate to achieve a positive return on investment. That becomes difficult under rent control, which freezes revenue while costs continue to rise.

Last year, insurance premiums for multifamily buildings in New York rose by roughly 12 percent. Electricity prices increased by 10 percent and water by 8.5 percent in 2024, and they continued rising through 2025 and into 2026.

As a result of these cost increases and others, overall operating costs for buildings in New York City rose by 11.5 percent, while revenue to landlords increased by zero percent.

Landlords are already operating on thin profit margins, and those margins evaporate when costs increase but rent does not. The impact appears in cuts to maintenance and repairs.

Painting and plastering, such as repainting hallways or fixing non-structural cracks, are delayed indefinitely. Cleaning services for hallways and lobbies are reduced from daily to weekly or stop entirely, leading to trash buildup and odors. Landscaping and lighting, including replacing burnt-out bulbs or maintaining greenery, fall to the bottom of the list.

Boiler and HVAC service shifts from preventive maintenance to emergency repair. Instead of annual tune-ups to ensure efficiency, landlords wait until the boiler breaks before calling a technician, resulting in more frequent no-heat days for tenants.

Roof and gutter cleaning is neglected, leading to slow leaks that eventually cause mold, which is far more expensive to repair. Elevator service contracts may be reduced and routine inspections skipped, resulting in more frequent “Out of Service” signs.

Property tax accounts for about 30 percent of New York City’s budget. Building values, for resale, lending, and tax assessment, are determined largely by income potential.

When rent is frozen, potential revenue declines and building values fall. That makes it harder or even impossible for landlords to borrow against their properties.

It also makes it more difficult to buy, sell, or finance new construction. At the same time, lower valuations reduce property-tax revenue to the city government.

This creates a revenue hole. A 2025 estimate from the New York Apartment Association suggested that a multi-year rent freeze could cost the city more than $1.3 billion in lost tax revenue over four years due to declining property valuations.

From a renter’s perspective, anyone with a rent-frozen apartment will remain in that unit as long as possible. Consequently, turnover decreases, potentially dropping to near zero. The total supply of apartments available to new tenants shrinks, driving prices up.

In the end, Mamdani’s socialist policy to help renters will cause a shortage of apartments, an increase in average rents, and a collapse of services in rent-frozen buildings, while also decreasing city revenues
