Since 1798, the US once operated a system of public health hospitals in major port cities to provide free medical care for merchant seamen. In part, their role was to check the spread of disease from other countries. At one time, there were 28 hospitals in the system. Over the years, military dependents, USCG personnel, Native Americans, and medically indigent citizens were added to the patient load. After World War II, however, efforts began in Washington to disband the system because merchant seamen were being highly paid and some officials felt it inequitable to provide free medical care not available to others. An estimated two to three million people were treated at no cost to the patients in these facilities. In 1981 POTUS Ronald Reagan (R) closed the last merchant seaman hospital, which was located in Louisiana.

NYC Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani (D) announced City Hall will provide 100,000 free tickets for New Yorkers to watch the Macy's Fourth of July Fireworks from prime viewing areas at Brooklyn Bridge Park in Brooklyn and the Seaport in Manhattan. The public lottery at july4.events.nyc is open now and will remain open through 29 June. Winners will be notified between 30 June and 2 July and may claim up to four tickets.

Each member of the NBA champion NY Knicks will have a Manhattan street temporarily named after him.


On a recent podcast, VPOTUS JD Vance (R) displayed his full understanding of the Catholic faith he adopted years ago, as well as his knowledge of the Nicene Creed, by bleating that welcoming immigrants, supporting LGBTQ rights, and believing in climate change are all anti-Catholic ideas.

This wealthy heretic is the most unpopular VPOTUS in global history

Congressman Andy Ogles (R-TN) has just filed legislation to ban certain pregnant foreigners from entering America after SCOTUS upheld birthright citizenship: "SCOTUS betrayed America. It's time to bar pregnant foreigners from coming to this country. We are being colonized. Anchors Away!"

Critics called out VPUTZ JD Vance's idiotic opinions and accused him of betraying his Catholic faith. The deeply unpopular "Hillbilly Hypocrite" has made no secret that he wants his Hindu Brahmin wife Usha Bala Chilukuri Vance to one day accept Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior.

Indian skin whitening treatments for Usha might improve JD Vants' chances of gathering support from white supremacists should he run for POTUS against Empty Suit USSECSTATE Marco Rubio (R), good-for-nothing Canadian-Cuban US Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), or the effective progressive NYC Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) in 2028.

"Former President Joe Biden was heckled while delivering bleating a speech at a Maryland Democratic Party fundraising gala, where activists Samaritans referred to him as "Genocide Joe."

Joe Biden will receive a worse reception from Jews Against Genocide or the volunteers from Code Pink.

Weimar Republic 2.0 was unable to stop Dummkopf Trumpf in four years and the Biden administration continued to fund genocide in Gaza against the wishes of tens of millions of people who demonstrated all throughout the US in 2024.

Instead of harpooning Dummkopf Trumpf by releasing the damaging Epstein files soon after 21 Jan 2021, USAG Merrick Garland chose to shield Israel and the Mossad from public scrutiny and embarrassment for four years.

SC Jack Smith must be seething inside.

The AIPAC-infected 2024 Democrats cared more about 7.2m Israeli Jews rather than 350m Americans of all denominations (Jews like Brad Lander or Bernie Sanders, Catholics, Baptists, Atheists, Buddhists, Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus, etc).

On Tuesday 5 Nov 2024, the IDF had liquidated 43,061 Palestinians in Gaza; 101,000 were wounded or maimed with US-provided weapons and funded by the American taxpayer. And so 7,371,247 progressives, Samaritans, and antiwar voters stayed home that day in utter disgust.

The 2024 Democrats repeated the exact same mistake as their 1968 counterparts: They ignored the multi-million strong antiwar movement.

In America we're all glad that Israelis enjoy world class universal healthcare while they butcher Palestinians and seize their lands, all using American taxpayer funds.



Thirteen so-called "Democrats" have reportedly signed the "Promise to America" pledge as of 26 June 2026. Besides DINO Tom Suozzi (D-Israel), I wonder if any of the remaining co-signers below are AIPAC recipients, making this initiative in reality code for a "Promise to Israel"?


Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-NY) " Co-leading the initiative
Rep. Adam Gray (D-CA) " Co-leading the initiative
Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ)
Rep. Susie Lee (D-NV)
Rep. Don Davis (D-NC)
Rep. Vicente Gonzalez Jr. (D-TX)
Rep. Laura Gillen (D-NY)
Rep. Janelle Bynum (D-OR)
Rep. Kristin McDonald Rivet (D-MI)
Rep. Maggie Goodlander (D-NH)
Jessica Killin (candidate)
Marlene Galan Woods (candidate)
Bobby Pulido (candidate)
