New York City Democrat mayor Zohran Mamdani’s latest political stunt has wealthy investors signaling they may rethink their commitments to the once-flourishing city — just as BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales predicted.

“They’re not going to just sit there and take it. They’re going to do something about that. What do you think these millionaires that don’t even live there full-time are going to do?” she asks, showing a video Mamdani released revealing his plans for the rich.

“When I ran for mayor, I said I was going to tax the rich. Well, today, we’re taxing the rich. I’m thrilled to announce we’ve secured a pied-a-terre tax, the first in New York’s history. This is an annual fee on luxury properties worth more than $5 million whose owners do not live full-time in the city,” Mamdani explained in a promotional video.

And they’re not happy — especially billionaire Ken Griffin.

Mamdani “doxxed” the CEO of Citadel in his video, pointing out the location of his apartment.

“I don’t think this should come as a shock to anyone. He wasn’t very happy about being name-checked in this little, you know, ad. And so, Ken Griffin now is pushing back after Mamdani featured … his $238 million penthouse in the tax-the-rich video,” Gonzales explains, pointing out that in a letter to Citadel’s employees, the COO subtly hinted at a possible re-evaluation of its New York City investment.

“Because you see, as the story goes, he was planning on investing $6 billion into a development project. And now he’s like, ‘You know what? I don’t know if I want to do that. I don’t know if I want to continue investing my money in a city that just wants to tax me into oblivion,’” she continues.

“Who could have possibly predicted that that would be the final result of Zohran Mamdani just trying to get the rich to pay for all of his free stuff, which as we know isn’t even free? So, things are not going well on that front,” she adds.

A horrifying random attack on a 3-year-old could have been prevented by the former Biden administration, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Gabriella Perez and her child were relaxing and fishing on April 18 at a San Antonio park when they were violently attacked by Atharva Vyas, according to a DHS post on social media.

‘She’s lashing out, angry. She doesn’t understand evil like this f**king man. She’ll never be the same again.’

Vyas allegedly grabbed Perez by her hair and caused her to drop the 3-year-old. The 24-year-old then reportedly attacked the girl, leaving her with bite marks and knocking two of her teeth out.

Perez told the New York Post that witnesses intervened to subdue the man and two Texans pointed guns at him.

“I was screaming, ‘Shoot him! Shoot him!'” she said.

The man was identified as an illegal alien who had originally come to the U.S. on a student visa in Aug. 2023, according to DHS.

Vyas was arrested only three months later for assault on the campus of the University of Texas, but the Biden administration determined that the offense was not “egregious” enough to justify the revocation of his visa.

The Trump administration revoked his F-1 visa in April 2025, according to the DHS statement. After the newest allegations of assault, Immigration and Customs Enforcement issued a detainer request on Vyas.

Perez told the New York Post that the child has life-changing trauma over the attack.

“She’s terrified to sleep. She’s lashing out, angry. She doesn’t understand evil like this f**king man. She’ll never be the same again,” she said.

The man was allegedly on “wax,” a highly concentrated cannabis substance that can be the equivalent of smoking up to 20 joints, according to law enforcement.

“This criminal illegal alien brutally bit this child and caused her to lose two teeth. This barbaric assault against this woman and her three-year-old in a park was completely preventable,” reads a statement from Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis.

“The Biden administration NEVER should have released this animal following his arrest for assault,” she added. “We are working with our partners in Texas to ensure this criminal illegal alien never roams free in American communities again.”

The victim’s family said in a GoFundMe account that they are focusing on healing. They also posted a photo of the little girl’s grievous injuries. The injuries are also visible in an interview with Telemundo.

A man was caught on police bodycam video biting an Alabama police dog while resisting arrest last week — and cops said the suspect just showed up and became disruptive during an operation he wasn’t even part of.

The Florence Police Department said the Lauderdale County Drug Task Force executed a search warrant in the 200 block of North Locust Street in Florence on Wednesday.

‘I can tell you what I had a concern of, and of course, all of the citizens. Those are most of my calls in regard to what happened. It’s all about the dog biting him and when the dog was sicced on him.’

Police said the Florence-Lauderdale SWAT team and the Florence Police Department K-9 Unit assisted.

However, during the execution of the warrant, police said 46-year-old David Culliver arrived on scene.

Believe it or not, police said Culliver wasn’t involved in the investigation and actually “inserted himself into the situation.”

What’s more, cops said Culliver “became belligerent, yelled at officers, and stepped into an active roadway with flowing traffic.”

Police said an officer ordered Culliver several times to get out of the roadway so a vehicle wouldn’t hit him.

However, cops said Culliver re-entered the roadway and continued disrupting traffic.

At that point, officers told Culliver he was being placed under arrest.

But as officers attempted to handcuff him, police said Culliver pulled away and resisted multiple officers as they tried to place him under arrest.

Soon, a Florence Police K-9 was deployed to help take Culliver into custody.

But Culliver grabbed one of the K-9’s legs and bit the K-9, police said.

Officers struck Culliver to get him to release the K-9, cops noted.

Culliver then was taken to the ground and placed in handcuffs, police said, adding that he was taken to a hospital for treatment of K-9 puncture wounds and then booked into the Lauderdale County Detention Center. Police did not detail what, if any, injuries the K-9 may have suffered.

Police released video of the incident showing two bodycam angles; the clip from Officer Two showing the struggle between the suspect and the K-9 begins at the 11:27 mark in the video below. You also can view the full video from Officer Two here.

Content warning: Explicit language.

Police said Culliver was being charged for resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, public intoxication, and interfering with a police dog.

Police said Culliver’s bond was set at $2,500; Culliver was not listed as an inmate, according to jail records accessed Monday afternoon.

Police added that “this footage captures the entirety of the encounter, as opposed to the brief clip currently circulating on social media. Shortened videos shared online often present only a limited perspective and may not fully show the sequence of events. Viewing the complete footage is essential to understanding the full context of the situation and ensuring an accurate representation of what occurred.”

Police also said the incident “has been thoroughly reviewed, and the use of force applied has been determined to be justified.”

However, Florence City Council President Kaytrina Simmons said several community members reached out to her in anger over the officers’ actions, according to WAFF-TV.

Simmons told the station that even after considering the police perspective on the incident, the use of the K-9 is troubling to her: “I’m not a police officer. I can tell you what I had a concern of, and of course, all of the citizens. Those are most of my calls in regard to what happened. It’s all about the dog biting him and when the dog was sicced on him.”

President Donald Trump reprimanded a “60 Minutes” journalist during his interview for reading the words ascribed to the alleged White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooter.

The president discussed the latest assassination attempt against his life with Norah O’Donnell on Sunday but lashed out at her when she quoted suspect Cole Allen’s alleged manifesto.

‘You read that crap from some sick person? I got associated with … stuff that has nothing to do with me. I was totally exonerated.’

“He appears to reference a motive. In it he writes this, quote: ‘Administration officials, they are targets.’ And he also wrote this: ‘I’m no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.’ What’s your reaction to that?” asked O’Donnell.

“Well, I was waiting for you to read that because I knew you would because you’re horrible people,” Trump responded. “Horrible people. Yeah, he did write that. I’m not a rapist. I didn’t rape anybody.”

“Do you think he was referring to you?” asked O’Donnell.

“Excuse me. Excuse me. I’m not a pedophile,” the president interrupted.

“You read that crap from some sick person? I got associated with … stuff that has nothing to do with me. I was totally exonerated. Your friends on the other side of the plate are the ones that were involved with, let’s say, [Jeffrey] Epstein or other things,” he added.

“But I said to myself, ‘You know, I’ll do this interview, and they’ll probably …’ I read the manifesto,” Trump continued. “You know, he’s a sick person. But you should be ashamed of yourself reading that because I’m not any of those things.”

“Mr. President, these are the gunman’s words,” she replied.

“Excuse me, you shouldn’t be reading that on ’60 Minutes,'” Trump interrupted. “You’re a disgrace. But go ahead. Let’s finish the interview.”

He added again, “You’re disgraceful.”

Video of the interaction was posted to social media, where O’Donnell was widely criticized.

In addition to the alleged manifesto, the suspect also apparently left a large digital footprint stacked with Democratic anti-Trump talking points and even some blatant threats against Trump and his administration.

The president has jump-started his campaign to build the White House ballroom in the wake of the shooting by arguing that it would have far better security protocols than the Washington Hilton, where the shooting took place.

Anti-Trump commentator Ana Navarro made a case for the idea that the latest attempt on the president’s life might have been staged to distract the American public.

Navarro, who is a co-host of “The View,” previously worked for the presidential campaign of the late Sen. John McCain but has become a bitter critic of President Donald Trump and his policies.

‘People look at this and say, “Oh my God, is he trying to distract us again?” because that is what he does, right?’

On the Sunday edition of her “Bleep!” podcast, Navarro offered some reasons why people might think the Trump administration staged the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday.

“It’s odd to me that in a place that is teeming with Secret Service, with Washington, D.C., police, with all sorts of law enforcement, this could happen,” Navarro said.

“But also, I think people jump to the conclusion that it is staged because Trump lies. He lies constantly, daily, and pathologically. So people do not trust and do not believe anything Trump says. His lips are moving, the likelihood is, he is lying,” she added.

“Also, this is a man who has mastered the art — forget the art of the deal — he has mastered the art of distraction,” Navarro said. “Any time he finds himself in hot water, his numbers right now are down in the basement, his Iran war is incredibly unpopular, people are pissed as hell at the price of gas and the price of everything going up.”

The Justice Dept. presented in a media briefing Monday the mountain of evidence so far collected to show that alleged shooter Cole Tomas Allen was motivated by left-wing animus to target the president.

“People look at this and say, ‘Oh my God, is he trying to distract us again?’ because that is what he does, right?” Navarro continued.

“He posts crazy things, and he does crazy things and says crazy things to distract us from the Epstein files, to distract us from his horrible [polling] numbers, to distract us from the failures and incompetence of his administration,” she added.

On Monday, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announced that Allen was charged with one count each of attempted assassination of the president of the United States, interstate transportation of a firearm to commit a felony, and discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence.

“Violence has no place in civic life,” Blanche said. “It cannot and will not be used to disrupt democratic institutions or intimidate those who serve them, and it certainly cannot continue to be used against the president of the United States.”

Democratic former President Barack Obama appeared to be baffled about the motivation of the suspect in the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting, despite the rather persuasive evidence already available.

Cole Tomas Allen, a 31-year-old teacher from Torrance, California, was arrested after he allegedly opened fire at the dinner, prompting attendees to dive under their tables and the president to be evacuated from the area.

‘There is no ambiguity. … It’s wrong to downplay or obscure the obvious motive.’

Allen had allegedly released a manifesto and left a massive online footprint full of Democratic anti-Trump propaganda, and yet Obama said he had no clue what could have motivated the suspect to try and assassinate the president and members of his administration.

“Although we don’t yet have the details about the motives behind last night’s shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, it’s incumbent upon all us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy,” Obama wrote in the statement on social media Sunday.

“It’s also a sobering reminder of the courage and sacrifice that U.S. Secret Service Agents show every day,” he added. “I’m grateful to them — and thankful that the agent who was shot is going to be okay.”

The former president was immediately assailed for the bizarre comment.

“This guy. We don’t have the motives? There’s a damn manifesto that details everything,” NewsNation reporter Katie Pavlich responded.

“Oh, come on. The shooter left a detailed manifesto in his hotel room and sent writings to family members shortly before the attack where explicitly identified himself as the ‘Friendly Federal Assassin’ and said was targeting Trump administration officials — prioritized from highest-ranking to lowest,” former DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said.

“There is no ambiguity. It was a politically motivated attack driven by anti-Trump and anti-Christian bile. It’s wrong to downplay or obscure the obvious motive,” she added.

“You are so SICK!” responded the account for the Republican National Committee. “Law enforcement officers confirmed this radicalized Leftist was targeting President Trump and his administration last night. Why are you lying?”

Allen appeared in federal court for arraignment Monday on charges of attempted assassination of the president, interstate transportation of weapons, and discharge of a firearm during a violent crime. He is likely to face many other charges based on the information gathered from the investigation.

Allen’s next scheduled court date is May 11.
