Note the activists who are running for office as Republicans.
[FoxNews] Part of Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's New York City district is lined with prostitutes
In "Squad" member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s district in New York City, those who are described as scantily dressed migrant prostitutes line blocks of a long commercial strip during all hours of the day and night, brazenly soliciting sex to passersby while their pimps strike fear into local business owners, one of whom told Fox News Digital he’s been threatened for speaking out and is on the verge of closing his store.
The trash-filled streets of Roosevelt Avenue in Queens, which encompasses the migrant-heavy communities of Corona, Jackson Heights and Elmhurst, has become a veritable hotbed for one of the world’s oldest professions, and residents say that most elected officials and police are turning a blind eye to the neighborhood nightmare, which looks more like the famed brothel-filled red-light district streets of Bangkok than one of America’s biggest cities.
Illegal vendors also overrun the sidewalks, plying their hustle in what residents have likened to "Third World" conditions, cooking hot food out in the open devoid of any health certifications or inspections as hungry birds swoop down in search of leftovers and leaving their droppings along the way.
Known to locals as the "Avenue of the Sweethearts," this epicenter of vice is not some desolate area on the outskirts of a city but rather the heart of the borough of Queens underneath the area’s main subway track that serves as a vital cog connecting Manhattan and its local schools to families, many of whom stream down the subway steps and are then inescapably met by armies of prowling solicitors, mostly Asian and Hispanic women.
Ramses Frías, a local resident turned activist, is furious with the deterioration of his neighborhood and says "it feels like Bangkok with women outside locations and pulling men off the street."
Curtis Sliwa, the founder of the Guardian Angels and a Republican candidate for mayor, says prostitution has exploded in the neighborhood after the pimps and sex workers were driven out of the nearby area of Flushing, well known for its Asian population.
"It was never like this. It was a family area with a lot of retail," Sliwa told Fox News Digital of Roosevelt Avenue. "The Chinese community pushed it out [of Flushing] and Asian cops were getting busted because they were on the take, so they just decided, the madams, bring the girls over here … and its open prostitution, 24/7. [It's] lawless. Anarchy. You get to do what you want when you want."
Two NYPD officers were busted in 2006 on bribery charges relating to the protection of a brothel in Flushing, and there are similar cases stretching back further.
Sliwa says the police and New York City Mayor Eric Adams are not doing enough to clamp down on the racket. In January, the NYPD raided six establishments allegedly engaged in prostitution, which were issued closing orders. The raid was well publicized, with Adams and local Democrat City Council member Francisco Moya present. However, it appears to have done little to curb the problem.
Sliwa slammed it as a "show raid" and said there were no arrests.
"They didn't arrest the johns, prostitutes, madams; they never went after the landlords, and they were back in business the next day," said Sliwa, who joined Fox News Digital and Frías on a walking tour of the area.
The Queens District Attorney's Office confirmed that no arrests were made, saying it was strictly carried out to serve court closure orders of nuisance abatement over which the NYPD has jurisdiction.
Separately, NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell told Fox News that it suspects members of the brutal Tren de Aragua are linked to prostitution in the area, trafficking women into the industry to pay off the debts the gang is owed for smuggling them into the country.
Ocasio-Cortez’s office did not respond to repeated requests for comment on this story or on a March story in which Fox News Digital brought attention to the neighborhood’s plight, featuring the additional publication of a now-viral video provided by Frías showing an almost endless stream of vendors with piles of clothes stacked along the streets.
Police swept the area days later and Frías – a former Democrat who is running for City Council as a Republican next year – said vendors have simply set up shop there again.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] 'Hey! Hey you! Alto! Stop!' three Colombian cartel soldiers shouted at me and my translator as we ducked into a small shop and pretended not to hear their commands.
I'd come to Capurgana, a dusty seaside village on the northwest coast of Colombia to investigate international efforts to shut down one of the world's most notorious human smuggling routes – the Darien Gap. It's a 70-mile stretch of dense jungle connecting South America and Panama through which 1.5 million migrants from 170 countries have passed from 2021 to August 2024.
Capurgana is one of the last major stops before these travelers enter Central America seeking a new life further north, invariably in the U.S.
What I discovered shocked me – and, for a heart-pounding moment, I thought I'd never make it out with the story. Instead of finding any progress toward reining in a historic illegal immigration crisis here, I uncovered the opposite.
Migrants arrive in Capurgana daily by the hundreds from all over South America and places as far-flung as Africa, the Middle East and China. They're met on the docks by foot soldiers of the Gaitanist Self-Defense Forces of Colombia, a powerful paramilitary drug-trafficking cartel that rules the region's smuggling routes.
The migrants pay hundreds of dollars each for passage and permission to travel north through the Darien Gap to Panama and beyond.
I'd been warned that the cartel kept a close watch on everything here, so I posed as a tourist.
For a full day, I'd been flying a drone out the window of my hotel room – filming the Gaitanistas shuttling men, women and children from the docks to the Darien Gap to begin their journey.
But when I began documenting the operation from the ground, I was spotted and chased into a convenience store by three Gaitanistsa goons.
'Hand over the camera,' one of the hulking men demanded.
I backed up against the cash register.
On my phone was the damning footage of their activities. It felt that keeping it secret could be a matter of life or death.
I'm just a 'gringo,' I told them through my translator, an 'adventure tourist.'
They weren't buying it.
I briefly considered an escape, thinking of the taser I carry in my front pocket. But even if we got away, there was only one way out of Capurgana — the boats controlled by the Gaitanistas.
I raised my hands in surrender. 'Okay, I'll tell you the truth about everything,' I said.
Around a cheap plastic table in a restaurant next door, I explained that I was an American journalist. Thankfully, even the Gaitanistas are not so bold as to harm a Yankee.
They let me leave on the condition that I take the first boat out of town the next morning and, in the meantime, I was instructed to stay out of their way.
They had work to do. And they've never been busier.
For decades, fewer than 10,000 migrants a year passed through towns like Capurgana to cross the Darien Gap.
But after President Joe Biden came into office, demolished his predecessor's security measures and essentially opened the U.S. southern border, that number increased to 133,000 immigrants in 2021.
Then, the seven-day crossing was still notorious for rapes, robberies and murders.
Indigenous inhabitants on the Panamanian side routinely killed migrants for their money and valuables. Women ran the risk of sexual assault from fellow migrants and cartel guides. Flash floods along the river were known to sweep away entire families camping in the middle of the night. The weak and injured were routinely left by the trailside to die.
Now, nearly everything has changed.
No longer a torturous seven-day trek, the current passage through the Darien Gap is a two or three-day walk along trails heavily patrolled by Panamanian border police.
Why? In April 2022, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas signed an agreement with Panama to help ease the humanitarian disaster - that the White Hoyuse helped create by throwing open America's gates.
The administration declared its commitment to 'safe, orderly, and humane migration,' worldwide.
In 2023, U.S. State Department agencies further increased contributions to the United Nations's International Organization for Migration to a staggering $1.4 billion, according to a database that tracks federal spending.
Hundreds of millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars began flowing into Panama.
The nation built new migrant processing centers and welcomed dozens of non-governmental agencies to provide aid to the illegal travelers.
So much was the investment that the once dangerous passage now resembles an American-built migrant 'super-highway.' As a result, illegal immigration in the Darien Gap has exploded even further.
Crossings grew to 250,000 by the end of 2022.
In 2023, 520,000 traversed the Gap.
Midway through this year, nearly a quarter million had made the trip.
The migrant flow is so overwhelming now that Panama's National Border Service chief told me his country screens less than one percent of the migrants.
They used to question up to 90 percent about their criminal histories and potential ties to terrorism.
It was no wonder that Panamanians have had enough.
Panama's new president Raul Jose Mulino has pledged to close the crossing – and, at least in writing, the Biden administration has agreed to help.
On July 1, DHS Secretary Mayorkas said the U.S. would help fund deportation flights of illegal migrants from Panama back to Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela.
But that help hasn't yet materialized, according to President Mulino.
'I will never tire of reiterating my position before the international community,' he posted on Twitter this week. 'Darien will no longer be the path through which thousands of illegal immigrants continue to cross to the United States; this humanitarian crisis will come to an end.'
On Tuesday, Biden's Treasury Department announced sanctions for a handful of leaders of the Gaitanist Self-Defense Forces of Colombia – calling the cartel, 'one of the country's largest drug trafficking organizations and a key contributor to human smuggling through the Darién Gap.'
Some may see the move as progress, but others in the region know that sanctions won't change the situation on the ground.
It is difficult for critics to see this as anything less than a feeble response to a humanitarian crisis of the administration's own making.
As long as this Biden-build migrant 'super-highway' remains open, misery and the criminality that feeds on it will continue.
[FoxNews] Zelenskyy and Trump both left the meeting in good spirits and have told the press their conversation had been constructive
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is downplaying past disagreements with former President Donald Trump following a meeting in New York City.
Zelenskyy visited Trump Tower on Friday to meet with the Republican presidential nominee, then sat down with Fox News' Griff Jenkins to discuss what seems to have been a good-spirited conversation.
"We understand that even in any kind of future negotiations, Ukraine has to be strong. That's what it's about," Zelenskyy told Jenkins when asked why he met with Trump. "We spoke with Biden, Kamala Harris, Donald Trump and the Congress of the United States."
Jenkins pressed Zelenskyy about his comments that appeared in a New Yorker article earlier this week — in which he was quoted saying that he believes Trump "doesn’t really know how to stop the war even if he might think he knows how" — and whether Trump had said anything to change Zelenskyy's mind.
"No, I said that I think that we understand much more better than everybody, really, including Donald Trump, what's going on in Ukraine and how to stop him. It's difficult to understand," Zelenskyy responded.
The Ukrainian president said his country is now a completely different nation from the one that was first invaded in 2022.
"Ukraine, during the war in Ukraine before the full-scale invasion — two different countries. So without this experience, you can't really understand how to stop [Russian President Vladimir Putin]," Zelenskyy continued. "And that's what I wanted to share to president . . . and the price of this tragedy of bloody invasion of Putin."
At one point during their meeting, Trump told the press that he had a "good relationship" with both Zelenskyy and Putin. Zelenskyy then interjected to say he hopes the U.S. has a better relationship with Ukraine than Russia.
Jenkins asked the Ukrainian president whether Trump's comment about maintaining a good relationship with Putin concerned him.
Zelenskyy said he was not necessarily concerned, acknowledging that "Trump has relations and had relations when he was the president, during his term" and maintains "relations with a lot of countries and a lot of UN leaders."
During the exclusive interview, Zelenskyy lamented the lack of response Putin received from the rest of the world when Russia began its invasion of Ukraine in 2014 with the taking of Crimea.
"Nobody kicked him, and that meant he understood that he can occupy it and go further. He can occupy new territories of Ukraine," Zelenskyy said. "He began to prepare to do this — his plan — and he did it."
[JOHNKASSNEWS] My brother Nicholas Spyridon Kass has made foreign policy his life's work, knowing that the world is a dangerous place and many out there hate us, and want us dead, or as their slaves.
Or perhaps they dream of using us as their jesters, to kneel near their feast tables, so they can clean the grease from their fingers on our hair.
Part of that work involved knowing and appreciating how American elected officials think about the world, and how they learn about the dangers for our county, how they process the information. Do they try to think independently? Or are they merely content to thumb through celebrity news while parroting talking points given to them by government briefers?
Nick spent more than 30 years serving America, with CIA, the U.S. State Department, White House /National Security Council, National Intelligence Council, and other areas briefing presidents and other senior government and elected officials on critical issues.
The world is always especially dangerous, especially now with the common understanding that President Joe Biden is senile and the world knows it. The other day, Biden lost focus in a news conference with India's Prime Minister, and became confused and afraid, and shouted "Who's Next!"
Vice President Kamala Harris–the Democrat presidential nominee–helped cover up Biden's senility in office for years–is widely thought of in Washington as an empty vessel. A 2018 video that just came out underscores this. The far left Senator of California–further to the left of Bernie Sanders–is shown clapping, shouting "Down Down with deportation"
And now she's on the verge of losing the Hispanic speaking vote in Arizona, one of the key battleground states. So she plans on running to the border to show her concern and gaslight the American people with help from her corrupt corporate media. Americans don't care the Washington Democrat Media Complex defends her. They don't care that she's the soft-minded meat puppet of the never-ending Obama-Pelosi regime. Harris doesn't care about the hundreds of thousands of children being sex-trafficked on the broken Democrat border that has already let 20 million illegals in.
I invited Nick on the Chicago Way podcast that I co-host with WGN producer Jeff Carlin to sort all this out.
We talked about the Deep State, about foreign policy and Kamala Harris' complete lack of depth, and he told us about Harris in the context of Roman Emperor Caligula and the horse that Caligula and his horse Incitatus.
According to Suetonius, in the Lives of the Twelve Caesars (121 AD), Caligula planned to make Incitatus a consul of Rome. The horse would "invite" dignitaries to dine with him in a house outfitted with servants there to entertain such events. Suetonius also wrote that the horse had a stable of marble, with an ivory manger, purple blankets and a collar of precious stones.
Clearly Caligula was a madman.
But Caligula was also demonstrating exactly what he thought of the Roman government and the people, showing contempt by elevating a horse to governmental prominence, much in the same way Obama's Deep State elevates the thoughtless, shallow, cackling Kamala Harris.
And I decided just had to write about Nick and Caligula and Harris in a separate piece. And I'm putting the link to The Chicago Way podcast link here, so you may listen to him too. Perhaps you'll reach your own conclusions independently.
I mentioned Harris makes me think of the flirty, not-so-smart girl from high school who didn't read the book and puts a kittenish purr into her voice, like the airhead girls from "Clueless" But in this classroom, impervious to her charms, and watching for weakness to exploit are none other than China's dictator for life Xi Jinping who got millions of dollars to the Biden family through his network of spies; also Russian strongman Vladimir Putin, and the murderous, hateful mullahs of Iran.
Nick mentioned that policy makers who don't read and who don't push themselves to think things out independently–and who rely only on briefings–are also susceptible to manipulation from ideologues conducting briefings and susceptible to manipulation by our American allies. Great Britain and Israel are our allies, but they also care about their own interests above our own.
"But behind all this is whether or not we're going to have the consolidation of the Deep State," said Nick. "And if you have four more years of this, I guarantee you're going to be consolidating the Deep State. If Kamala Harris wins, I was trying to think about what I could compare it to, and one of the things that popped into my mind: Do you remember the Emperor Caligula reputedly tried to make his favorite horse a Council of Rome?"
Elevating a horse to prominence over people would indeed demonstrate contempt for them. But so too is nominating for president a candidate who doesn't do the reading or the work. Like that asinine high school student who needs help when her smarmy kittenish charms fall flat, Kamala Harris' help comes from corporate legacy media that prop her up. But China, Russia, Iran, Great Britain and Israel aren't so easily manipulated by the New York Times or MSNBC, etc.
"There's some dispute about whether the horse got the job or not. I'm not interested in that. What I'm interested in the idea is that they would deem it possible to take a horse and put him into an August position at Rome. Well, guess what? You're taking a candidate who really doesn't know anything, who was completely viewed as incompetent. I remember watching it Chris Wallace on a panel back in April, talking about how Kamala was going to be a drag on Joe, right? I mean, all these things going on and then they changed it because Joe finally exposed himself in such a way that you couldn't hide it anymore. They used that to leverage him out and they put her in.
"And so, if she wins under these conditions, well like the Turks say, you could put a block of wood in office if you get the the right machinery behind it."
And she has that machinery.
For many years Nicholas Kass was stationed in Ankara, Türkiye, which is the historic home of the Deep State. Yes, he's my younger brother, but he's a brilliant analyst. He's the ultimate authority in how the Deep State works and the lessons we need to learn to fight it before America is consumed by Deep State totalitarianism as freedom of speech comes under increasing assault in the West.
He's written about the Deep State in important journals from The American Conservative, to American Greatness. And he's also written about the Deep State here at johnkassnews.com. He's also been interviewed internationally and nationally about this topic including by legendary Chicago conservative Dan Proft.
As a career American diplomat and intelligence analyst who worked in Ankara he's an expert in the "Deep State."
On Tuesday we sent out the podcast link emailed to all subscribers of my website, johnkassnews.com.
But when I heard again his brilliant analogy comparing Kamala Harris to the legendary horse of the mentally ill sociopath Caligula, I just had to write that separate piece.
Even now it's clear that Kamala Harris has not digested the briefings. She hasn't done the work. She cynically avoids the press. And by this she holds the people in contempt, as did Caligula. She's backed by the Deep State, and so, she runs out the clock in this election. Only a year ago she was mocked by the media as lazy. Headlines like "The Kamala Harris Problem" "Few People Seem to Think She's Ready to be President. Why?"
Because she's a dangerous fool, that's why.
Remember that Deep State operatives and their reliable media partners turned the 2020 election with Secretary of State Anthony Blinken gathering 51 intelligence officials to push the big lie‐before the election‐that the Hunter Biden laptop was a product of Russian disinformation. It wasn't disinformation. Miranda Devine, respected columnist at the New York Post wasn't spreading disinformation when she wrote "Laptop From Hell."
The Bidens sold out our country to China and others and the Democratic Deep State and so-called journalists pushed that lie too. The journos received Pulitzer prizes. But it was a lie.
And now they're back at it, not only parading Taylor Swift but also other "intelligence officials" to back Harris.. What does this mean? It means they know Donald J. Trump will never hire them now and yet they want to live and work in Washington, kissing the hand of their mistress, Kamala Harris and laugh at the jokes of Ukrainian boss Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Harris/Biden flew Zelenskyy to the battleground state of Pennsylvania to campaign for the Democrats. Spending more taxpayer money on this clown and Zelenskyy getting billions of American dollars for a forever war they do not want to fight demonstrates supreme contempt by Harris and Democrats for the American people.
It reminds me of Caligula making the a horse a consul of Rome, just like Obama's Deep State regime installing Kamala Harris as president without letting the American people know details about her policies.
It's all about power and access with Deep State operatives, and if they have to destroy America, they'll do it.
They have one loyalty. Not to the United States, but to themselves.
Great message, Mr. Kass.

One man's socialism is another man's neighborliness.... for the general election campaign's third debate next week, says it will be up to the politicians — not the moderators — to check the facts of their opponents.
The 90-minute debate, scheduled for 9 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday in a Manhattan studio that once hosted the children's program ''Captain Kangaroo,'' will be moderated by the outgoing ''CBS Evening News'' anchor Norah O'Donnell and ''Face the Nation'' host Margaret Brennan.
During ABC's debate between presidential contenders Kamala Harris What can be, unburdened by what has been and Donald Trump ...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons... earlier this month, network moderators on four occasions pointed out inaccurate statements by Trump, and none by Harris. That infuriated the former president and his supporters, who complained it was unfair.
Last spring, CNN ...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for... moderators did not question any facts presented by Trump and President Biden in the debate where Biden's poor performance eventually led to him dropping out of the race.
On Friday, CBS said the onus will be on Vance and Walz to point out misstatements by the other, and that ''the moderators will facilitate those opportunities'' during rebuttal time. The network said its own misinformation unit, CBS News Confirmed, will provide real-time fact-checking during the debate on its live blog and on social media, and on the air during post-debate analysis.

...which still proudly claims Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... report published Thursday conceded that Vice President Kamala Harris It is time for us to do what we have been doing. And that time is every day ' major ''weakness'' is her television interviews, where she's been panned for her ''word salad'' responses.
The criticism of Harris' rare TV sit-downs was laid bare in an article titled ''Harris Has a Lot of Strengths. Giving Interviews Isn't One of Them'' by Times news hound Rebecca Davis O'Brien.
''She often winds her way slowly toward an answer, leaning on jargon and rehearsed turns of phrase, using language that is sometimes derided as 'word salad' but might be better described as a meringue,'' the news hound said.
Harris has largely shied away from unscripted media appearances since she jumped to the top of the Democratic ticket. She's also been hard to reach for White House photographers.

That measure received widespread support in Congress, with Democratic Rep. Ritchie Torres of New York emphasizing the "incestuous relationship between UNRWA and Hamas," saying the U.S. must stop funding "institutions that perpetuate hate, that perpetuate the radicalization that ultimately led to October 7th."

"UNRWA has played a unique and integral role in supporting the welfare of Paleostinian refugees for decades. Their on-the-ground understanding is invaluable to ensure that humanitarian aid makes it to the people who need it most — in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and critically in this moment in Gaza," Jayapal said in a statement. "There is no question in my mind that revoking funding for UNRWA will lead to more devastation and loss of life in Gaza. We must ensure that those acting in good faith to save civilian lives are not undermined by a lack of US funding."
In addition to the direct involvement from some UNRWA staff members with terror groups, UN Watch's Hillel Neuer has also highlighted how many employees celebrated the 10/7 attacks and staffers "regularly call to murder Jews, and create teaching materials that glorify terrorism, encourage martyrdom, demonize Israelis and incite antisemitism."
