Thank you God for NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani. He is manna from heaven for Republicans.

His new brand should be, “World’s Best Republican Salesman.”

Why do you think President Trump was so nice to Mamdani when he visited the White House? It was like the cat being nice to the mouse. Or the wolf being nice to the sheep.

Or Democrats being nice to middle class voters while campaigning.

It was all an act by President Trump. It was a setup. Like me, Trump wants Mamdani to be Mamdani…to be the radical communist he truly is…to show America how communism really works…and Trump is thrilled to give Mamdani enough rope to hang himself (metaphorically, of course).

Mamdani has been Mayor for just a few months, and NYC is already broken and bankrupt. All Mamdani knows how to do is raise taxes and steal more taxpayer money, to pay for his merry band of welfare queens, felons, illegals and radical Jew-hating, Hamas-loving Muslim voters. That’s it. That’s his whole game. That’s all he’s got.

Raise taxes and steal your money, to spend more on lazy bums (most of whom shouldn’t even be allowed in the country).

And as a “bonus,” NYC’s streets are filled with crazy radical Muslims praying to Allah, while screaming, “Death to Jews.” Isn’t that lovely? Isn’t that what America should look like? It’s just like “Mayberry RFD.”

But that’s okay. Mayor Mamdani will be the poster boy for every Republican ad campaign in the upcoming midterm election. By the time we’re done with the midterms, most Americans will think Mamdani was running for Congress in all 435 districts.

“The Mamdani effect” is happening everywhere.

Gavin Newsom is another Mamdani. Karen Bass is another Mamdani. AOC is another Mamdani. The Mayors of Seattle, Chicago and Minneapolis are all Mamdani clones. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is another Mamdani too. Democrats are all the same.

The result: Americans are running for their lives to red states.

Americans with high income, assets or businesses are running from deep blue states like New York, California, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts.

All those states are DEAD MEN WALKING.

They just don’t know it yet. But they will soon- when there is no money to pay the bills for welfare, food stamps, public housing, free healthcare, illegal aliens, transgender operations, cops, courts, prisons (for all the illegals), and don’t forget $40,000 per pupil for failing public schools that teach nothing of value.

I wrote the book on this coming disaster in 2005.

It was called “Millionaire Republican.” I predicted that everyone with money would leave blue states- especially NY, California and Illinois…and escape to low-tax red states like Florida, Texas and Nevada.

Boy did I have a crystal ball. Best prediction of my life!

The point of my book was that not only millionaires would have to leave high-tax, blue states, but anyone with any hope of achieving success in the future, or seeing their children succeed in America, would have to leave.

I was 100% right. I just saw it 21 years before anyone else.

This is the “Great American National Divorce” that I’ve been predicting. Our nation is dividing. Everyone born here legally, with any kind of income or assets to protect is either escaping to red states, or making plans to escape. And bringing their money, assets and jobs with them!

The numbers are staggering. And here is the result…

The states that have received the largest transfer of wealth are Florida, Texas, Nevada, Tennessee, South Carolina and North Carolina.

And of course, the states who have lost the most money are New York, California and Illinois.

We’re talking tens of billions of dollars changing hands.

For decades to come, all the opportunity to prosper in America will be in these red states. It’s like when media asked famous bank robber Willie Suton why he robbed banks…

Willie replied, “Because that’s where the money is.”

Not only will that make red states richer and more prosperous, but it will give them far more electoral votes and seats in Congress after the 2030 Census. Republicans are set to dominate politics for many years to come.

This “vicious cycle” is coming to a blue state near you- once there is no one to pay the bills (because so many taxpayers have left), then blue states will have to raise taxes even higher. And once they do that, even more taxpayers will run for their lives. Soon there will be no one left. The productive people will all be gone.

What’s left? A third world sh**thole.

Blue cities and states are dead men walking- but they are delusional, and don’t know it yet. The Democrat Party will soon cease to exist. The brand will be synonymous with failure, decline, bankruptcy, poverty and misery.

So, please, please, please, Mayor Mamdani, keep talking, keep spending, keep taxing, keep threatening productive citizens, keep inviting in illegal aliens and radical Muslims.

Even better, please run for President in 2028.

Or if Mamdani doesn’t want the job, Democrats please nominate AOC for President- the low IQ moron who gives bartenders a bad name.

Now we all know the updated 9 worst words in the English language…

“I’m Mayor Zohran Mamdani and I’m here to help.”

The country music artist who torched her career after insulting former President George W. Bush has emerged from hiding to insult the current Commander-in-Chief.

Recall that the Dixie Chicks (now the Chicks) were the number one country band in the country before the lead singer Natalie Maines uttered these fateful words during a live concert in London at the height of the Iraq War in 2003:

Just so you know, we’re ashamed that the president of the United States is from Texas.

After Maines said this, the Dixie Chicks quickly became the most hated country music band in the world, and their popularity plummeted. They have never recovered.

Now, Maines has decided the best way to get renewed attention is to take a really nasty shot at President Trump.

On Tuesday, she called Trump a “fugly sl*t” while raging at him for his proposed $1.8 billion fund for victims of unfair DOJ prosecutions.

“Our democracy is disappearing right before our eyes,” Maines wrote. “This fugly sl*t is using your gas money to pay the insurrectionists.”

“But don’t worry about it,” Maines continued. “I’m sure posting selfies will fix everything.”

“My last post that called him a fugly sl*t got removed. We’ll see how long this one lasts.”

Social media users who saw Maines’ vile two-word insult against Trump were quite angry. Many also took some rough shots at Maines’ looks in the process.

President Donald Trump’s handpicked challenger, retired Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein, wasted no time delivering a brutal post-primary rebuke of outgoing Rep. Thomas Massie after toppling the longtime Kentucky congressman in one of the most expensive House primaries in U.S. history.

Massie lost to former Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein in Tuesday’s primary election by a decisive margin.

During his concession speech, Massie said he was unable to call Gallrein because he was in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv.

“Listen, I would have come out sooner but I had to call my opponent and concede and it took a while to find Ed Gallrein in Tel Aviv.”

”I have called and conceded the race. We have been honorable the whole time and we are going to stay that way.”

“Welcome to the most expensive congressional primary ever, in the 250 year history of this country.”

”It is not just the most expensive, this thing went on longer than Vietnam.”

”It started nine months ago. They didn’t even have a candidate and they decided they wanted to take me out.”

In a fiery interview after his victory, Gallrein framed Massie as a politician who had turned his back not just on President Trump—but on the voters who sent him to Washington.

“Simply put, what we’d say in Kentucky because I’m pretty plain spoken, is he went to Washington, he burned every bridge, he burned a bridge factory and ran off everybody that would build a bridge to the conservative Republicans,” Gallrein said.

“Again, the left-wing Democrats, the radical Democrats loved him,” he continued. “His votes against our party and our nation go farther back.”

Gallrein then dropped a powerful reminder to every conservative Republican watching:

“Remember, it wasn’t just President Trump. President Trump won nearly 78 million votes in the presidential race. The most ever for a Republican president. He won 31 states, including the swing states and also 312 electoral votes. And here in this district, President Trump won by 85%. He stood against us! But he liked to single out President Trump.”

“All that to say it’s a new day, these people deserve better and I’m going to give it to them.”

WATCH:

Trump-backed Ed Gallrein just unloaded on Rep. Thomas Massie after his win.

He said Massie wasn’t voting against Trump — he was voting against the very people who elected him.

President Trump has taken another major step in his immigration enforcement agenda, this time targeting access to the American banking system.

In a new executive order issued Tuesday, the Trump administration directed the Treasury Department to increase scrutiny of financial activity tied to illegal immigration, including potential payroll tax evasion, concealed account ownership, off-the-books wage schemes, labor trafficking, and the use of Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) without verified legal presence documentation.

Banks will now be pressured to strengthen customer identification requirements and think twice before handing out accounts, loans, credit cards, or any financial services to those here illegally.

In plain English: No more easy banking for illegal aliens. No more wiring billions in remittances back to foreign countries while American families struggle. No more using our financial system to launder cartel money or fund the very invasion destroying our communities.

President Trump has officially moved toward de-banking illegal aliens with a new Executive Order released today. https://t.co/733A7vDGFi

According to the new executive:

Safeguarding Against Fraud and Abuse.  (a)  Within 60 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of the Treasury shall issue a formal Advisory to financial institutions regarding the risks associated with the exploitation of the United States financial system by non-work authorized populations and their employers.  This Advisory shall describe specific red flags and typologies associated with the following categories of suspicious activity:

(i)    evidentiary patterns of payroll tax evasion by employers or labor brokers, including the systematic failure to withhold or remit Federal employment taxes for non-work authorized individuals;

(ii)   the utilization of certain foreign-identity documents, nominee accounts, shell companies, or complex “funnel” structures designed to obfuscate the identity of the ultimate beneficial owners or conceal the true nature of payroll disbursements;

(iii)  the strategic use of unregistered money services businesses, third-party payment processors, or peer-to-peer platforms to facilitate “off-the-books” wage payments intended to bypass Bank Secrecy Act reporting thresholds or tax obligations;

(iv)   patterns of repetitive, sub-threshold cash withdrawals or deposits that correlate with payroll cycles conducted outside of regulated payroll processing systems, also known as “structuring and micro-structuring”;

(v)    financial activity indicative of labor trafficking or forced labor (as defined in 18 U.S.C. 1589), where proceeds are commingled with legitimate business revenue or transferred to foreign jurisdictions; and

(vi)   the use of an individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) to obtain credit products or open depository accounts where the applicant lacks verified lawful immigration status.  Although an ITIN facilitates tax compliance, its use in lieu of a Social Security number or valid work-authorized visa may be identified as a risk factor requiring enhanced due diligence to ensure the account is not being utilized to facilitate the unlawful employment of unauthorized aliens.

(b)  Within 90 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of the Treasury shall, in consultation with the appropriate Federal functional financial regulators, propose changes to applicable implementing regulations of the Bank Secrecy Act to strengthen risk-based customer due diligence requirements for covered financial institutions.  Such changes should ensure that:

(i)   institutions collect and verify sufficient customer identity information to reasonably identify the nominal and beneficial owners of accounts in order to assess risks related to illicit finance, sanctions evasion, fraud, or other unlawful activity; and

(ii)  institutions maintain the authority, where warranted by other risk indicators or supervisory concerns, to obtain additional information necessary to resolve material compliance concerns, including information relevant to whether account holders possess lawful immigration status and employment authorization in the United States when such information is relevant to assessing risks associated with fraud, identity misrepresentation, sanctions evasion, or other illicit financial activity, as part of a risk-based customer due diligence program.

(c)  Within 180 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of the Treasury and the appropriate Federal functional financial regulators shall consider changes to applicable implementing regulations of the Bank Secrecy Act to strengthen risk-based customer identification program requirements for covered financial institutions.  Any changes considered should account for the risks foreign consular identification cards pose to the integrity of the United States financial system.

Addressing Structural Credit Risks.  (a)  Within 60 days of the date of this order, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau shall consider clarifying that potential deportation and loss of wages are factors that could adversely affect a non-work authorized borrower’s ability to repay an extension of credit under the “ability-to-repay” standards in 12 CFR Part 1026 and its appendices and supplements, and that lenders may consider such factors as part of a reasonable and good-faith underwriting determination.

(b)  Within 60 days of the date of this order, each appropriate Federal functional financial regulator shall issue guidance regarding the management of the potential credit risks posed by the non-work authorized population.

The South Carolina House of Representatives just rammed through House Bill 5683, approving a bold new congressional map that delivers a clean 7-0 Republican sweep of the Palmetto State’s U.S. House seats.

It can be recalled that South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster issued an executive order requiring the General Assembly to return to an extra legislative session to address the state budget and critically important congressional redistricting.

The session kicks off Friday, May 15, at 11:00 AM, just days after weak-kneed Senate Republicans blocked a clean extension and tried to kick the can down the road.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, five South Carolina Senate RINOs – Bennett, Campsen, Davis, Hembree, and Massey – voted against extending the session to allow redistricting, handing Democrats a temporary victory and defying massive pressure from President Donald Trump himself.

On Tuesday night, South Carolina’s House approved the proposed 7–0 congressional map, 74–36 on second reading and 74–37 on third reading.

The measure now heads to the Senate, where Republicans will decide whether to move forward with a map that could eliminate Democrats’ lone congressional seat in the state.

According to State Rep. Adam Morgan:

“The House worked late into the night. In the end, 4 Republicans voted NO: Ballentine (Lexington), Hartnett (Charleston), Moss (Cherokee), and Session (York). Brewer, Brittain, Caskey, Cox, Ligon, Sanders, M Smith, and Taylor did not vote. Now to the Senate!”

Now to the Senate! https://t.co/vOTJ5z2Cg5

— Adam Morgan (@RepAdamMorgan) May 20, 2026

State Rep. Adam Morgan celebrated the momentum online and urged the Senate to move quickly.

“South Carolina Senate Judiciary Committee holds 1st Public Hearing tomorrow!” Morgan wrote. “The clock is ticking — the Senate must move rapidly!”

Morgan also issued a direct grassroots call to action, urging South Carolinians to pressure Senate Republicans to move the map without delay.

According to WYFF4, “Early voting is scheduled to begin May 26 for South Carolina’s statewide primaries on June 9.”

The new map dismantles the unconstitutional, race-based 6th Congressional District, the lone Democrat stronghold long held by far-left Rep. Jim Clyburn, the aging godfather of the state’s Democrat machine.
