Could Staten Island Secede from NYC to Escape Mayor’s Migrant Crisis?

Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis is pressing New York City Mayor Eric Adams to allow Staten Island to secede, as it seeks to escape having migrant camps and shelters established on its territory by the Democrat.

Adams, who previously styled NYC as a “sanctuary city”, is now struggling to deal with an influx of well over 100,000 migrants, and is demanding conservative-led border states to stop helping migrants to travel to his jurisdiction. He has also asked President Joe Biden to redistribute his migrants to areas locations under federal control elsewhere in the U.S., but is establishing tent cities and other makeshift accommodation sites to host them in NYC in the meantime.

Staten Islanders, who tend to vote Republican, are unhappy at having such sites forced on them, however, with Malliotakis declaring: “If you’re not going to do your job, Mayor, then let Staten Island secede.”

Elaborating on her proposal during a television appearance, she said she believes Staten Island, which is home to a larger population than U.S. cities such as Miami, “would like to have an opportunity to self-govern.”

She accepts that the “reality is the city council and the state legislature would need to let Staten Island go,” however.

A 1993, non-binding vote resulted in 65 percent of Staten Islanders wanting to break ties with New York City. Recently, Councilman Joe Borelli announced a new possible slogan for the district: “nonsicut tu quoque,” which translates from Latin into: “we don’t like you either.”

Far Left Journo Pranked Into Falsely Claiming Conservative Network Faked a Trump Interview.

The left wing Daily Beast website has been forced to issue a correction after being pranked into claiming that an interview with former President Donald Trump, aired on the conservative news network Real America’s Voice, was faked.

The Beast was forced to change their story by notorious left-wing “reporter” Zachary Petrizzo after it became apparent that quotes attributed to Real America’s Voice owner, Rob Sigg were in fact fake themselves.

The embarrassing correction states:

This story has been updated to remove quotes attributed to the owner of Real America’s Voice, Robert Sigg, saying he is investigating whether the call was a prank and criticizing network staffers. A Daily Beast reporter had a conversation by text with a person who identified themselves as Sigg, on a number public records show was once associated with Sigg—but a spokesperson for Real America’s Voice said that it was not Sigg and is not his current number.

Interviewer John Solomon responded to The Daily Beast on X (formerly Twitter) calling their story “defamatory” and something “concocted from the theater of the absurd.”

Prior to the correction, The Beast claimed Sigg likened Solomon’s interview with Trump to “ChatGOP” – a reference to the artificial intelligence language model ChatGPT. The fake Sigg also claimed Solomon and Head were responsible for a “major oversight”, that the networks “news directors will need to go through additional training about journalism practice”, and that an “internal investigation” was underway.

The Daily Beast appears to have not reached out to representatives of former President Trump prior to publishing the fake interview claim. Less than ten minutes after the publication of the original story alleging Solomon interviewed a ‘fake’ Trump, the former President posted a link to the interview on Truth Social, adding, “Crooked Joe Biden is the most incompetent President in history, and he’s the most corrupt President in history…”

DeSantis Chief Demands $50M from Donors, Admits 60 Days Left to Stop Trump.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s presidential campaign is betting the farm on winning the 2024 Iowa Caucuses, according to leaked audio from a meeting between the leadership of pro-DeSantis SuperPAC Never Back Down and donors held just before the first Republican primary debate.

Jeff Roe, DeSantis’s Never Back Down PAC chief strategist, also admitted to donors the campaign has just 60 days to defeat former President Donald Trump and that the SuperPAC would need an additional $50 million before the second Republican primary debate on September 27th.

Never Back Down has also halted its paid door-knocking efforts in Super Tuesday primary states, as well as in the critical early state of Nevada. The SuperPAC’s cost cutting moves come as it shifts resources into Iowa – including a nearly $12 million ad-buy announced earlier this week.

Roe told donors: “If you have an education, if you have higher income, if you read the Bible and if you go to church regularly, you happen to be a DeSantis supporter.”

What the DeSantis campaign considers to be a ‘likely DeSantis supporter’ might explain why the Florida Governor has failed to gain traction in polling and trails former President Donald Trump by double digits in most state primary contests. According to the Pew Research Center the majority of American Catholics and Evangelical Protestants earn less than $50,000 per year. Mainline Protestants are early evenly split with with 49 percent estimated to earn less than $50,000 and 51 percent earning more. Only Mormons and Eastern Orthodox Christians have populations with sizable majority earning over $50,000. As far as education, the Pew data indicates well over 40 percent of Catholics and Evangelical Protestants have only a high school education or less – and nearly 40 percent of Mainline Protestants.

2nd GOP Debate Moderator Is Foreign, Far-Left Lunatic, Obama Fangirl.

The second Republican presidential primary debate on September 27th will be co-moderated by Univsions’s Ilia Calderón – a rabid political partisan who has said that former President Donald Trump’s racist rhetoric “empowers white supremacists.” The Spanish language network Univision is partnered with the Fox Business Network to host the debate – Stuart Varney and Dana Perino will join Calderón, who is from Columbia, as moderators.

Calderón – who Fox Business bills as “the first Afro-Latina to anchor an evening newscast for a major broadcast network in the United States” – has a long history of flaunting her far-left bias on social media. In 2018, as then President Trump pushed for tighter border controls to stop the flow of illegal immigrants into the U.S., Calderón claimed on X (formerly Twitter) that “Trump does not want whites to stop being the majority,” adding that this was the reason for his opposition to mass immigration.

The Univision anchor isn’t just critical of Trump and Republicans, she has plenty of praise for Democrat politicians. In 2009 Calderón praised Barack Obama, saying, “…it is a pleasure to listen to a great speaker!” In another instance of pro-Democrat bias, she reposted a claim that the U.S.’s political and economic struggles were the fault of Republicans for obstructing then President Obama’s radical political agenda.

In the aftermath of January 6, 2021, Calderón claimed that Republicans were “silent about those responsible” and insinuated that the protestors who stormed the U.S. Capitol Building committed a “deadly attack.” The only person to die as a direct result of the events on January 6 was protestor Ashli Babbitt who was shot and killed by U.S. Capitol Police officer Michael Byrd.

Former President Trump is expected to skip the September 27th Republican presidential primary debate. Polling after the first debate in Milwaukee, Wisconsin suggests that Trump’s absence had no negative impact on his commanding lead over the rest of the Republican candidates.

Hunter Biden Firm & VP Office Exchanged a Thousand Emails.

America First Legal has uncovered a “staggering” number of emails between Hunter Biden’s former firm Rosemont Seneca and the Office of the Vice President when it was occupied by Joe Biden, once again defying the now-President’s claim that he has “never discussed with my son, or my brother [James], or anyone else, anything having to do with their businesses, period.”

Hundreds of the roughly one-thousand emails disclosed to America First Legal by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) have been withheld “in their entirety” as a result of the White House asserting “executive privilege”, claiming their “[r]elease would disclose confidential advice between the President and his advisors, or between such advisors.”

“These records provide even more evidence that no daylight existed between Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings and the Office of the Vice President during the Obama administration,” said Gene Hamilton, Vice President of America First Legal.

“The evidence accumulating against the Biden family’s malfeasance is staggering,” he continued, vowing that his organization would “continue to put the pieces of this puzzle together and expose the truth to the American people.”

Separately, the Southeastern Legal Foundation has confirmed the existence of around 5,400 emails and other electronic records linked to fake names Joe Biden used as Vice President.

NY Deploys Drones to Spy on Private Labor Day Parties.

The New York Police Department (NYPD) will be flying drones over people’s homes to spy on private parties this Labor Day weekend, Assistant Commissioner Kaz Daughtry has warned.

“If a caller states there’s a large crowd, a large party in a backyard, we’re going to be utilizing our assets to go up and go check on the party,” Daughtry said.

The New York Civil Liberties Union has denounced the use of drones against the public in this way as “sci-fi inspired” and a possible violation of the Public Oversight of Surveillance Technology (POST) Act.

Albert Fox Cahn, executive director of the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project (STOP), has also raised concerns, highlighting “how few protections we have against seeing these cameras aimed at our backyards or even our bedrooms.”

Democrat city mayor Eric Adams hailed the “endless” potential of drones in NYC after a visit to Israel, which is in a constant state of low-level civil conflict with much of the population under its control.

RINOs Advise Dems to Dump Biden-Harris, Run Whitmer-Warnock to Stop Trump.

Never-Trump “Republicans” are pushing Democrats to ditch President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris and turn to Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D-Mich.) and Senator Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) in yet another desperate bid to try and beat Donald Trump in 2024.

A.B. Stoddard, writing at the anti-Trump blog The Bulwark, frets that voters see Biden’s advanced age as disqualifying and warns that former President Donald Trump is a more formidable candidate than Democrats assume.

“…A new standard-bearer is required to decisively beat Trump next year,” she declares, claiming Gov. Whitmer as her standard-bearer:

Whitmer, 52, is one of the most experienced, exciting, and winning Democrats in the country. She is as tough a candidate, and leader, as the Democrats can find, and she was vetted as a potential VP pick in 2020. Warnock, who has won pluralities or majorities in five elections in three years, is the cerebral 54-year-old senior pastor at Martin Luther King Jr.’s church.

– A.B. Stoddard, September 2023.

She adds: “Young. Dynamic. Diverse. Competent and experienced. Broadly appealing. Can mobilize core voters. Would deliver two battleground states. Those are seven big boxes already checked.”

Stoddard and her NeverTrump allies in the corporate media are right to worry about President Biden’s chances of winning re-election in 2024. Polling is increasingly showing former President Trump to be the favorite to win the White House, though Stoddard hilariously warns: “If Trump beats Biden next year, there won’t be another free and fair election.”

Majority of Americans Living Paycheck-to-Paycheck.

Almost two-thirds of Americans – 61 percent – admit to living paycheck-to-paycheck, representing a two percent increase compared to 2023, according to a recent report conducted by the LendingClub, which surveyed 3,443 U.S. consumers.

Those earning less were predictably hit hardest by the rising costs, interest rates, and inflation over the past year. A staggering 78 percent of those earning less than $50,000 per year, as well as 65 percent of those earning between $50,000 and $100,000, admit to living paycheck-to-paycheck – both up in comparison to 2022.

A further 70 percent of Americans say they are “stressed” about their finances largely due to “inflation, rising interest rates, and a lack of savings” to fall back on. Only 45 percent of Americans were found to have emergency savings, with 26 percent of those admitting that they have less than $5,000 saved for emergencies.

“Consumers are undoubtedly continuing to feel the impact of inflation and rising interest rates,” argues Chris Fred, TD Bank’s head of credit cards and unsecured lending.

Americans are simultaneously experiencing an “all-time low” in housing affordability, with the average person having to meet monthly mortgage payments of over $2,600.

State Officials Prep Trump Disqualification Push.

Efforts to disqualify former President Donald Trump from appearing on the 2024 ballot under the 14th Amendment are gaining momentum, with officials in key states, including New Hampshire, Arizona, and Michigan, preparing to respond to legal challenges to Trump’s candidacy based on Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment.

Advocacy groups claim Trump’s actions on January 6, 2021 constitute engagement in insurrection and therefore disqualify him from holding public office. Trump has denied any involvement in the attack on the Capitol, nor has there been any actual evidence that implicates him in the maelstrom, though plenty of proof suggests FBI and other state-actor involvement.

Legal scholars and election officials have raised concerns about the practicality of the emerging lawsuits. Procedural aspects of litigation challenging Trump’s eligibility, such as who has standing to bring the challenges, remain unclear. Secretaries of state in several states have started discussions and taken steps to prepare for the possibility of administering elections without Trump as a candidate. The lawsuits based on the 14th Amendment provision are expected to reach the U.S. Supreme Court, where a uniform rule could potentially be set for subsequent state primaries.
