While he campaigned on typical Democratic Socialist promises like free healthcare and childcare, the one that should have raised eyebrows was that he vowed to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he set foot in the Big Apple. It's rhetoric like this and other statements that now have several Rabbis in New York saying Mamdani&nbsp;needs to tone it down. &nbsp;]]>Wed, 12 Aug 2026 14:19:54 -0400<![CDATA[Becky Noble]]><![CDATA[Antisemitism]]><![CDATA[Israel]]><![CDATA[Judaism]]><![CDATA[New York]]><![CDATA[Zohran Mamdani]]>https://redstate.com/beckynoble/2026/08/12/nyc-rabbis-call-out-zohran-mamdani-over-anti-israel-rhetoric-will-it-make-a-difference-n2205520<![CDATA[Too often, in this business, we see things that upset us, that anger us, that make us sad or pessimistic.

U.S. Attorney Jamie McDonald for the Southern District of New York said it was one of the “largest marriage fraud schemes charged in United States history.”]]>Wed, 12 Aug 2026 14:02:20 -0400<![CDATA[Bob Hoge]]><![CDATA[China]]><![CDATA[DOJ]]><![CDATA[Illegal Alien]]><![CDATA[Illegal Immigration]]><![CDATA[Trump Administration]]>https://redstate.com/bobhoge/2026/08/12/till-the-feds-do-us-part-huge-chinese-marriage-fraud-network-taken-down-n2205528<![CDATA[Who would have thought that we'd still be having fun with Hillary Clinton's meltdowns over losing to President Donald Trump ten years later?&nbsp;]]>Wed, 12 Aug 2026 13:10:40 -0400<![CDATA[Nick Arama]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Hillary Clinton]]><![CDATA[Vaccines]]>https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2026/08/12/hillary-clinton-remarks-on-trump-injecting-bleach-n2205517<![CDATA[If there’s a symbol for blue-state failure, the California High-Speed Rail project is it.]]>Wed, 12 Aug 2026 12:42:10 -0400<![CDATA[Bob Hoge]]><![CDATA[California]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Economy]]><![CDATA[Gavin Newsom]]>https://redstate.com/bobhoge/2026/08/12/newsoms-bullet-train-is-going-broke-and-i-say-let-it-die-n2205523<![CDATA[The conflict with Iran appears to be far from over, despite ongoing talks moderated by Oman and Pakistan.

He can't, of course; the 22nd Amendment prohibits it. But President Trump has hinted at the possibility himself in the past, I suspect mostly just to tweak the American left and the legacy media (but I repeat myself). The man does like to punch the left's buttons, and he always seems to know precisely how to do it.]]>Wed, 12 Aug 2026 12:02:45 -0400<![CDATA[Ward Clark]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Trump Administration]]>https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/08/12/trump-settles-the-issue-sorry-no-big-beautiful-third-term-n2205519<![CDATA[This is probably my favorite headline from the postmortem of Tuesday's Wisconsin primary.]]>Wed, 12 Aug 2026 11:45:29 -0400<![CDATA[Jennifer Oliver O'Connell]]><![CDATA[2026 Elections]]><![CDATA[Democrat Party]]><![CDATA[Republican Party]]><![CDATA[Wisconsin]]><![CDATA[Abdul El-Sayed]]>https://redstate.com/jenniferoo/2026/08/12/when-you-come-out-against-thanksgiving-youve-completely-lost-the-plot-n2205514<![CDATA[A few months into Abdul El-Sayed's Michigan Senate campaign, RedState wrote about how the Democrat seemed awfully keen on scrubbing his social media history, where he repeatedly advocated Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) positions like defunding the police.]]>Wed, 12 Aug 2026 11:42:58 -0400<![CDATA[Sister Toldjah]]><![CDATA[2026 Elections]]><![CDATA[Democrat Party]]><![CDATA[Michigan]]><![CDATA[Mike Rogers]]><![CDATA[Abdul El-Sayed]]>https://redstate.com/sister-toldjah/2026/08/12/abdul-el-sayed-challenge-to-mike-rogers-n2205512<![CDATA[All eyes may have been on Wisconsin Tuesday night watching socialist darling Francesca Hong go down in flames to David Crowley in the Democrat gubernatorial primary, but something interesting was also taking place in neighboring Minnesota.&nbsp;]]>Wed, 12 Aug 2026 11:35:03 -0400<![CDATA[Teri Christoph]]><![CDATA[2026 Elections]]><![CDATA[GOP]]><![CDATA[Minnesota]]><![CDATA[Republican Party]]><![CDATA[Senate]]>https://redstate.com/terichristoph/2026/08/12/tafoya-wins-gop-senate-nom-in-mn-n2205511<![CDATA[Watch Europe.
