SUICIDAL EMPATHY: Taxpayer-Funded Islamic Commission Raises ‘Preferential Treatment’ Concerns.
Massachusetts lawmakers are taking steps toward using taxpayer dollars to prioritize the hiring of American Muslims for state government positions through a permanent so-called Islamic commission, sparking concerns that the Left is prioritizing a religion that contradicts its own political agenda.
If enacted, Bill S.2134, “An Act promoting the civil rights and inclusion of American Muslims in the commonwealth,” would create a “permanent” commission to help recommend Americans who practice Islam for appointed government positions in the New England state.
The commission, as stated in the bill, would consist of a panel of 11 Muslims appointed by Democrat Gov. Maura Healey and other state officials to represent the Islamic faith on issues such as business, the economy, health care, and other concerns.
It’s exactly the sort of move you’d expect from a collaborationist government.

WHAT CLIMATE CRISIS?
We're told climate disasters are getting worse.
According to the world's leading disaster database, climate-related disasters show no trend since 2000.

MILE MARKERS ON THE ROAD TO DETROIT: Longtime Bay Area tech conference is leaving San Francisco after a 50-year run.
One of the technology industry’s longest-running conferences is leaving San Francisco for Phoenix, a setback for a city that has promoted the return of conventions and visitors as evidence of its downtown recovery.
Semicon West, a major gathering for the global semiconductor industry, will make Phoenix its long-term home beginning in 2027, the trade association behind the event announced Thursday.
The conference will hold its final scheduled San Francisco edition on Oct. 13-15 at Moscone Center before moving to the Phoenix Convention Center for an event next spring. Conferences are also scheduled in Phoenix in 2028 and 2029.
The decision reverses an earlier plan to rotate the conference between the two cities and ends Semicon West’s more than 50-year association with the Bay Area.
Its departure comes as San Francisco seeks to rebuild a convention and tourism industry battered by the pandemic, remote work and the prolonged decline of its downtown business district.
Gooder and harder, San Fran.

HOW IT STARTED: Rosie O’Donnell Confirms Move to Ireland, Will Return to U.S. ‘When It’s Safe for All Citizens to Have Equal Rights.’
—People Magazine, March 11, 2025.
How it’s going: Rosie O’Donnell confirms Season 30 return to The View.
Rosie O’Donnell will be back on “The View” for Season 30.
The former co-host confirmed her return on Monday’s episode of the “Tangle With Kyle Ridley” podcast, saying she will take part in the show’s 30th-anniversary special.
The 64-year-old plans to take part “in whatever way they want” her “just as a guest.”
She added, “They’re bringing back all the hosts, I think. And, you know, I’m pretty proud of that show, what it’s become and how it really speaks to the people and to politics.”
O’Donnell, notably, co-hosted the ABC talk show for Seasons 10 and 18.
In addition to an infamous on-air spat with colleague Elisabeth Hasselbeck that led to her initial 2007 exit, the comedian had a “tense” dynamic with Whoopi Goldberg before her 2015 departure.
“I admired Whoopi, wanted to be on her team, had respect for her and I expected we would be like Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan passing the ball back and forth, shooting and leading the team to victory,” she recalled on Monday. “And that’s not exactly what happened.”
I’m looking forward this ABC News program returning to engaging in such intellectually stimulating conversations as fire not being able to melt steel and that the Holocaust “wasn’t originally about race.”

On July 27, 2026, the U.S. Navy guided-missile submarine USS Georgia (SSGN-729) returned to Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, Georgia, to begin its official inactivation process after 42 years of active service. The arrival marks the beginning of the phased retirement of all four Ohio-class SSGN conversions, which will remove the largest single concentration of conventionally armed undersea missile payload from the active fleet. This operational drawdown precedes the full fielding of Virginia-class Block V submarines equipped with the Virginia Payload Module, creating an interim undersea strike capacity reduction for the U.S. Navy.
The four converted Ohio-class SSGNs provided the U.S. Navy with a collective theoretical capacity of 616 BGM-109 Tomahawk land-attack cruise missiles and dedicated facilities for up to 264 special operations personnel. Following USS Georgia’s retirement, starting on July 31, 2026, the subsequent inactivations of USS Ohio, USS Florida, and USS Michigan through FY2029 will require 22 Virginia Payload Module-equipped attack submarines to fully restore the lost vertical launch cell count.
We need more subs, destroyers, cruisers… well, more everything but admirals.

#RESIST: NYC to unveil new Columbus statue as group sidesteps Mamdani’s middle finger.
A new nonprofit is planning to unveil a Christopher Columbus statue in Brooklyn this October — dodging Mayor Zohran Mamdani and other haters who’d rather cancel the Italian-born explorer.
The Preserving Italian Heritage Coalition, brought together by Chinese-American state Assemblyman Lester Chang (R-Brooklyn), is planning to house the statue at the John Hughes Club in Dyker Heights, private property that keeps it out of the clutches of city officials.
“I’m Chinese, but this is my community, too,” said Chang, who was born on Eldridge Street in Manhattan and today represents Bensonhurst and Dyker Heights. The coalition is now looking to raise $100,000 to cover construction and maintenance costs.
Chang traces the idea to last November’s election and to President Trump’s Columbus Day proclamation weeks earlier, which vowed to reclaim the explorer from “left-wing arsonists.” He wrote the committee’s first check himself, before there was a bank account to put it in.
Now that’s what I call assimilation.
