Mimosa, Bloody Mary, nice flute of champagne — or maybe a favorite tipple in your coffee. Make yourself one and join me at our own Algonquin Round Table, the spirit of Dorothy Parker abides.

Happy Sunday, dear friends! How is August treating you all? Hot and humid and trying to get kids ready for back-to-school. Though, I have lots of thoughts on the state of many public schools these days, I’ll defer sharing them right now least language curdles the cream for your coffee. It’s been quite the week … from the alarming to soap opera. So fill up your plates while I pass the bubbly and let’s get to it! L’Chaim!

But “NO KINGS”, am I right?

Boston Mayor Wu is out to punish private property owners because Wu puts illegal alien criminals first.

The federal immigration enforcement agency recently posted about its search for property owners across the country “capable of providing surface and/or structured vehicle parking spaces in the vicinity of existing or planned ICE facilities,” according to the Boston Herald. In Boston, ICE is looking for 249 contiguous parking spaces.

In an interview Sunday, Wu said her office will file public records requests to see which private property owners have expressed interest in leasing to ICE, in hopes of contacting them.

“We as a city will be filing another FOIA request for any responses that have come in from the Boston area so that we know what information they may be sifting through,” Wu said. “We strongly oppose any expansion of their efforts here and would encourage and will be reaching out to property owners to try to make sure that they’re not adding to a surge of unlawful and dangerous activity.”

From Mamdani’s outrageous “enemies list” of a million NYC private property owners to Wu’s threat to lean on Bostonians who don’t follow her neo-Confederate beliefs, how can anyone say Democrats are the party of “the people” with a straight face?

Ok. Ok. I agree — only if that face is wearing a septum ring.

NEW: The company behind a recent poll that showed Karen Bass with a 12-point lead over Nithya Raman for LA mayor & showed Bass collecting most of Spencer Pratt's prior support has admitted their poll was FAKE and was intended as a "social experiment" to see how a poll could…

Forget it, Jake. It’s California

California just effectively banned 70% of tires for sale today, all in the name of 'efficiency'. Washington state already has a copycat bill, SB 6304.

No, really.

The new rule in CA will only allow the sale of low rolling resistance tires typically found on EVs, with some… pic.twitter.com/dNBuqnb0GF

The California ENERGY Commission is deciding what tires Californias can have on their cars. I can’t even. Is it too early for martinis?

More California joy …

🚨WHAT ON EARTH?!!!!

A "teen takeover" DESTROYED a convenience store in Compton CA after a car street-takeover of "teens" led to MASS LOOTING.

Masked teens SMASHED THE WINDOWS to the store, ransacked the family-owned business, and fled the scene.

A lady in Tennessee is being hailed as a HERO after she rescued a KIDNAPPED 12-year-old girl as she came running out of the woods, barefoot and covered in scratches, and collapsed into a ditch on the side of the highway, attempting to escape.
