Robert De Niro, Your remarks this past Sunday, June 14, 2026, during the Rise Up, Sing Out event, a Concert for the First Amendment, at New York’s Town Hall expose the most contemptible anti-American cowardice. You declared that the phrase “we all love our country” sticks in your throat, that America “isn’t so lovable right now,” and that loving her resembles an abused spouse clinging to her abuser. You explicitly stated you “can’t love the country that’s led by Donald Trump.” This is not principled opposition. It is the spineless, self-serving betrayal of the nation that elevated an 82-year-old actor born August 17, 1943, in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village to global icon status. You were raised in New York’s Greenwich Village and Little Italy neighborhoods by painter parents. Your paternal grandfather’s Italian immigrant line arrived in 1887 from Ferrazzano. This country welcomed those ancestors and handed you the unmatched opportunities of American freedom, capitalism, and culture. You parlayed them into iconic roles in quintessential American films - The Godfather Part II (Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, 1974), Raging Bull (Oscar for Best Actor, 1980), Taxi Driver, Goodfellas - and a personal fortune reliably estimated at $500 million, augmented by Nobu restaurants and other U.S.-based ventures. You have lived your entire life here, profited here, and continue to reside and work here in comfort while denouncing the very system that made your privilege possible. Yet because voters exercised their democratic right and chose a president you despise, you publicly withdraw your love and reduce the United States to a political accessory you can discard. Your abuser metaphor is not bold rhetoric. It is grotesque inversion and elite petulance. America did not abuse you. It rewarded your talent beyond measure. True love of country has never been a fair-weather transaction contingent on presidents, policies, or election results. It has endured wars, depressions, scandals, and every flawed leader through the commitment of citizens who place the permanent republic above transient grievances. You, insulated by eight decades of success, chose instead to perform your conditional affection on stage for applause from like-minded elites. This is not dissent worthy of respect. It is the treason of the comfortable. You use the First Amendment protections you claim to champion to attack the nation’s legitimacy when it fails to deliver your preferred outcomes. By equating America with one administration and pronouncing her unlovable, you cheapen patriotism into partisan litmus test and reveal yourself as an ungrateful hypocrite who has feasted at her table only to spit when the menu no longer suits. America belongs to those who love her without reservation. This does not extend to those who announce their withdrawal of affection the moment democratic results displease them. Once you forgo that love, the reciprocal claim is forfeited. We owe no embrace to such conditional loyalty. Take your films, your $500 million fortune, your Nobu empire, your Oscars, and your vile ingratitude. Leave. The United States does not require the patronage of men whose “love” evaporates at the ballot box. She will endure - stronger, clearer, and unburdened by your parasitic conditional affections. -- Joseph Fosco June 16, 2026

On July 14, 2026, a White House visitor claimed Michelle Obama is a man. That is not a statement I would ever make. The claim is most likely false in my opinion. Nevertheless, Democrats have zero standing to object. They have spent years directing a sustained campaign of personal destruction at every member of President Trump’s family. This includes public mockery of minor Barron Trump’s appearance and demeanor, relentless ridicule and sexualized innuendo aimed at Melania Trump, and repeated, evidence-light smears labeling Don Jr., Eric, Ivanka, and other relatives as grifters, failures, or worse - often without substantiation. They normalized vicious attacks on spouses, children, and extended family whenever it served their purposes. Their current outrage is therefore pure hypocrisy. If crude speculation about one Democrat justifies hysteria, then the oceans of documented bile they poured on Trump’s loved ones demanded the same standard years ago. It never did. Get over it, you hypocrite crybabies. Joseph Fosco -- June 16, 2026

New York didn’t stumble into an energy crisis. Albany built one. A decade ago, New York’s grid ran on a balanced mix of nuclear, natural gas, and renewables, and families paid about 18¢ per kWh for electricity. Then Albany shut down Indian Point in 2020 and 2021, eliminating 2,000 megawatts of clean, reliable, around-the-clock power. What happened next? Natural gas jumped from 36% to 47% of the grid. Renewables barely moved. Electricity prices climbed to nearly 30¢ per kWh, about 70% higher than the 2016 low and now among the highest in America. And the craziest part? New York sits on top of some of the most abundant, affordable natural gas in the country, yet politicians blocked the pipelines needed to bring it to consumers. The solution isn’t complicated: finish the pipelines, keep nuclear and build more of it, complete the Champlain Hudson transmission line, unlock the jobs and mineral rights of the Southern Tier, and eliminate the hidden fees driving up utility bills. Affordable, reliable power is a choice. As Comptroller, I’ll be the watchdog who holds Albany accountable for the cost of that choice.

@JayTC53 She always looks like she just bit into a lemon.

Nicolle Wallace & Democrats are the most depressing, miserable, insufferable group of losers to ever exist in human history. 4 years of Biden destroying America yet here they are crying about the UFC fight. They hate it because it's Patriotic, unifying & once in a generation.

@LokiJulianus @thomasbsauer Every ankle-biting naysayer, every hater, every pearl-clutcher, and every low-information pop culture MSM drone can get bent. Sit down, losers, while all this great stuff happens without you. Go suck on your lemons, gather together in your horrid little bubbles, and seethe.

The left was hoping that the weather would ruin the birthday cage match and instead it just made Trump look like a literal wizard.

@EricLDaugh Liberals pissed off that an African American is the first trillionaire? I didn’t see that one coming…oh wait—of course I did.

🚨 JUST IN: Scott Jennings MIC DROPS every leftist in America whining about Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire "The ONLY reason ANYBODY'S mad about this, let's just be honest, is because he supported Donald Trump for president!" 💯 "Are you saying because Elon Musk exists and is a wild success that that is somehow to the detriment of all the people you're mentioning?!" "If Elon Musk had never gotten involved in politics, had never supported Trump, he'd be getting ticker tape parades right now for building this amazing company and sending rockets into space!" "It's all political and the people who should love Elon Musk are the ones who hate him for that reason." "Elon is creating an environment where entrepreneurship, where success, where building is celebrated." 🔥🔥 @elonmusk @ScottJenningsKY

🚨 LMFAO!! Based driver PRESSES THE GAS on two leftist rioters outside ICE Newark upon leaving the facility They were subsequently pummeled to the pavement and cried for “medic!” 🤣 They JUMPED in front of a moving car believing they could stop it. This is how you respond! Don’t stop for the psychos!

@NFL_DovKleiman So you’re all going to crucify this kid now? WTF is wrong with you people?

Uh Oh: Giants RB Cam Skattebo has been EXPOSED by football fans after liking multiple Donald Trump posts and following him and Don Jr. on Instagram. Skattebo liked many political posts, including ones mocking former President Joe Biden’s health. 😳😳😳

@JackPosobiec Men of England—stand up and take back your country! Stop letting your leftist progressive government neuter you!

@SnyderOpines @JohnJHarwood You seem to hold higher “education” in much higher regard than you should.

@JohnJHarwood Yeah but he is an uneducated plumber. So there’s that.

New Yorkers definitely want a plumber from Oklahoma telling them what to do

@JohnJHarwood Seems to me, that’s exactly what they need. 🤔

Belfast brucia. E presto le fiamme potrebbero arrivare alle nostre case, accese da chi ha reso l’immigrazione incontrollata un affare di soldi e politica. Torniamo in Ulster per vedere il nostro futuro prossimo. Sessantadue incendi in cinque ore, autobus rovesciati, case di minoranze etniche date alle fiamme, famiglie con neonati in fuga scortate dai vigili del fuoco. Uomini mascherati che sfondano porte e gridano "stranieri fuori" in quartieri dove trent'anni fa si sparava tra cattolici e protestanti. La miccia, lunedì notte: Hadi Alodid, trent'anni, sudanese, richiedente asilo con status di rifugiato, ha aggredito un ignaro passante con un coltello da cucina colpendolo alla schiena, al volto e agli occhi. Poi, come mostra il video visto da milioni di persone, ha portato la lama a ripetizione al collo della vittima. Solo le bastonate dei passanti hanno impedito la decapitazione. Una settimana prima l'Inghilterra aveva guardato attonita le immagini di Henry Nowak, diciotto anni, ammanettato dagli agenti mentre moriva dissanguato, perché il suo assassino, inglese di seconda generazione, aveva gridato al razzismo e la parola era pesata più del sangue. Il pogrom è barbarie. Ma la domanda vera non è chi ha acceso il fuoco. È chi ha accatastato la legna per trent'anni. Chi liquida le fiamme come "violenza dell'estrema destra" racconta una cronaca falsata, perché in piazza sono scese persone che mai si sarebbero sognate persino di sfilare con un cartello di protesta. Chi cerca la causa deve guardare altrove: alla sistematica inversione dell'integrazione che la sinistra europea ha imposto come dottrina per un ventennio. Non sono gli ultimi venuti a doversi integrare, ma chi è nato nella nazione ospitante deve assimilare le loro regole e abitudini e soddisfare le loro richieste. Una follia incredibile. E non si parli di integrazione mancata come se fosse un processo ancora in corso. Nelle stazioni, nei centri commerciali, nelle piazze del sabato sera, i maranza hanno già risposto: rapine di branco, aggressioni gratuite, devastazioni per noia e per odio. Non sono emarginati in cerca di riscatto. Sono seconde e terze generazioni che rifiutano il Paese dove sono nate, ne disprezzano le regole, ne aggrediscono i coetanei. Non chiedono inclusione: rivendicano territorio. Chi liquida tutto questo come cronaca straniera non ha letto la cronaca italiana. Modena, 16 maggio. Un italo-marocchino lancia l'auto contro la folla e ferisce sette persone. La risposta della sinistra che governa la città arriva puntuale come un riflesso condizionato: caso isolato, gesto di uno squilibrato, nessuna matrice. Poi, però, è calato un silenzio assoluto quando dai dispositivi elettronici di El Koudri sono emerse ricerche su attentati commessi in Europa, scaricamento di materiale jihadista. E lo schema si è ricomposto: non l'esplosione improvvisa di un folle, lo studio paziente di un modello. È la macchina della derubricazione, oliata da anni di esercizio: ogni attentatore diventa un pazzo, ogni allarme diventa razzismo, ogni critica diventa islamofobia. È lo stesso copione recitato per ogni episodio che la sinistra non vuole vedere. Quando il fatto è innegabile, si cerca la causa nella vittima o nel contesto. Lo stupratore non sapeva. L'accoltellatore era fragile. L'investitore era abbandonato dai servizi sociali. La colpa non è mai di chi agisce: è di chi non ha saputo accogliere, includere. Diciannove giorni dopo, nella stessa Modena, lo stesso sindaco che aveva minimizzato ha accompagnato nelle scuole elementari un indagato per associazione con finalità di terrorismo, braccio destro dell'uomo ritenuto il vertice di Hamas in Italia. Davanti a lui, bambini di sei anni battevano le mani al ritmo di cori per la Palestina. Non sanno cosa sia il 270 bis. Sanno già da che parte stare: qualcuno ha deciso al posto loro. Perché l'indottrinamento non è un incidente, è un metodo. Scolaresche in ginocchio verso la Mecca, guidate nella preghiera da un imam. Piani dell'offerta formativa che fissano tra gli obiettivi didattici il riconoscimento dei Cinque Pilastri dell'Islam. Nel Trevigiano, una scuola cattolica ha portato bambini di tre anni in moschea, dove sono stati fotografati inginocchiati sul tappeto della preghiera rivolti verso la Mecca, con le maestre velate "per rispetto". Tutto in assenza di qualsiasi intesa tra lo Stato e le comunità islamiche, dunque senza alcuna base giuridica. Quale altra confessione entrerebbe nelle aule pubbliche da una porta che la legge non ha mai aperto? Laura Boldrini era stata profetica parlando degli immigrati. Riletta con gli occhi di oggi, più che una profezia fu una fatwa. Affermò che "I migranti sono l'avanguardia di quello stile di vita che presto sarà lo stile di vita di moltissimi di noi". E qualcuno la ha presa sul serio e, nell’attesa di arrenderci, ha iniziato a giustificarli un po’ troppo. Quando la resa culturale arriva nei palazzi di giustizia, il cerchio si chiude. Il vertice di questa parabola giudiziaria si è toccato due volte. La prima a Rimini, dove nel 2017 quattro stranieri stuprarono in gruppo una turista polacca e una transessuale peruviana su una spiaggia. La consulente psicologa nominata dal tribunale ha scritto che l'imputato congolese non aveva "piena consapevolezza della gravità del reato" perché "nel suo contesto di provenienza il rispetto per l'autodeterminazione sessuale della donna non era adeguatamente acquisito". Tradotto: nel suo Paese si stupra, dunque non poteva sapere che qui non si fa. La seconda a Salerno, dove l'avvocato Carmen Di Genio, membro del Comitato Pari Opportunità della Corte d'Appello, ha dichiarato testualmente: "Non possiamo pretendere che un africano sappia che in Italia, su una spiaggia, non si può violentare." Sono parole pronunciate dentro le aule di giustizia. Non da commentatori anonimi. Lo stupro diventa "incomprensione culturale". Il resto è contorno grottesco: a Padova un maiale di plastica in vetrina diventa un'offesa da rimuovere, nel Paese della mortadella. Si sorride, ma è il sorriso di chi misura quanto il terreno sia già morbido. La sinistra minimizza perché ammettere significherebbe processarsi: ha spalancato le porte, scritto le regole deboli, ha aperto le aule, ha coltivato la dottrina dell'integrazione rovesciata. Ma la legna accatastata non smette di essere legna perché qualcuno vieta di nominarla. Belfast ha mostrato il finale del film. L'Italia sta ancora girando le scene che lo preparano. Belfast non è lontana. È soltanto in anticipo.

@KurtSchlichter Who is that guy?

The Numbers Are Irrefutable and They Expose Monstrous Betrayal. Under the Biden-Harris administration more than 450,000 unaccompanied children were encountered at the southern border per Customs and Border Protection records. Policies deliberately dismantled border security by scrapping Remain in Mexico, flooding the system with catch and release, and rushing releases to sponsors with woefully inadequate vetting. This created an open pipeline for cartels. A Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General report from August 2024 laid bare the criminal negligence. ICE transferred over 448,000 of these children to HHS custody from fiscal years 2019 through 2023 yet failed to serve Notices to Appear on more than 291,000. Over 32,000 who had court dates simply disappeared from the system. Combined with earlier HHS data on lost contact after sponsor placement this left roughly 300,000 children unaccounted for and dumped into the hands of unvetted adults while cartels profited. The human cost was foreseeable and horrific. Smugglers and traffickers exploited the chaos. The current administration has already located over 145,000 to 146,000 of these children as of 2026. DHS leadership under Secretary Markwayne Mullin and Border Czar Tom Homan confirmed many were recovered from active sex trafficking rings, forced labor, repeated sexual assaults, and abusive conditions. Some were found deceased. Backlogged reports ignored under Biden-Harris included clear trafficking indicators. This was no accident or mere overload. It was the predictable result of policies chosen to prioritize political optics and demographic transformation over the lives of children and American sovereignty. Cartels turned kids into commodities while Democratic leaders in Congress defended the chaos, blocked enforcement, and attacked those who exposed it. These actions stand in direct opposition to American principles of protecting the vulnerable and securing the nation. They also violate the moral duty rooted in the Judeo-Christian foundations of this country to shield the innocent from predators and exploitation. Enabling and sustaining a system that funneled hundreds of thousands of children into trafficking and abuse reveals a profound contempt for human life and national integrity. The Biden-Harris administration and every Democrat who enabled, voted for, or defended these policies own this record of failure and harm. Their demonstrated willingness to sacrifice children for agenda-driven open borders makes them unfit for any public office ever again. They have forfeited all trust. America must ensure they never regain the power to repeat this evil. -- Joseph Fosco June 12, 2026

SPC Josh Plocica was KIA in 2008. But if he were here, he’d demand we laugh, not cry. So here goes: 1. I once made him my driver in Baghdad. He told me straight up he didn’t want the job. So he vowed to get fired… and succeeded in under 48 hours. Respect. He literally would bump into things and be like "Oh damn sorry sir" "Haha my bad sir" "OOPS!" Ensuring he got the point across lol 2. First time we got rocketed at FOB Rustimiyah, the rest of us hit the bunker because we were all green. Plocica? Shirtless. Outside. Giggling like a damn schoolgirl. Looking at the sky with eyes wide saying "THIS IS AWESOME!". I yelled at him, he kept laughing as he ducked into cover. 🤦‍♂️ 3. At COP 763, he was my lifting buddy. He was everyone's lifting buddy actually. Took that job seriously. Got me ripped. Probably so we could carry his energy around when he wasn’t there. 4. He drove the UGLIEST yellow Nissan Xterra I’ve ever seen in my life. I still see those things from time to time and instinctively shake my head and laugh. 5. His three goals for deployment were written on his wall. I can’t share them here. But trust me: Legendary. Borderline illegal. Pure Plocica. 6. When our platoon had to confirm a mass grave site, most of us approached it with understandable hesitation. Plocica? He charged into it like a damn archaeologist hopped up on pre-workout. Unstoppable. (The most disgusting event I've witnessed with my own eyes but I digress). You couldn’t hang around this guy without laughing your head off. He lit up rooms, tore down rank barriers with humor, and made misery feel like summer camp. He was hilarious. He was wild. He was alive. And he charged toward every mission with more spirit than any five of us combined. And @Primz94933160 was his best friend. We miss you brother!

@infantrydort Bellavia has a good radio program/podcast on WBEN in Buffalo. Check it out. news.radio-online.com/articles/c4088…

GWOT was miserable but the firefights were nothing short of exhilarating.

@GovKathyHochul Come on. You’re more responsible for the quality of life in NY than the President is. Typical Democrat—zero accountability.

Trumpflation has sent costs skyrocketing.

But hey, at least gas prices are low…

@EricLDaugh He really is loved and admired by mentally stable Americans, which happen to be the majority. Don’t let the satanic Left tell you otherwise. Ignore them. Ridicule them. Scorn them.

🚨 WOW! President Trump PERSONALLY brought the patriots who renovated the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool into the Oval Office, and gave them a signed hat and presidential challenge coin They'll remember it FOREVER 🇺🇸 47 knows they just did STELLAR work in beautifying Washington DC It's unbelievable Democrats would oppose this masterpiece. 📽️ @MargoMartin47

@TheInsiderPaper WTF do you expect? Your stupid immigration policies have pushed native citizens to the brink. It’s the beginning of a revolution that you’re going to be on the wrong side of. Consider resigning now—accept responsibility for the mess you helped create.
