Reverend and U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock’s church pays for his home all while it kicks the poor out of theirs. Ebenezer Baptist Church provides Warnock with a $7,417 monthly housing allowance. At the same time, an apartment building owned by the church has served eviction notices to tenants for as little as $28.55 in past-due rent as the government’s pandemic response devastated the economy. According to The Washington Free Beacon, the church filed numerous eviction lawsuits against struggling tenants throughout the pandemic.

Colorado’s secretary of state’s office has admitted to mistakenly sending out postcards to 30,000 noncitizens encouraging them to register to vote.

A member of the San Francisco City Council came out against a planned air show by the U.S. Navy’s Blue Angles squadron during San Francisco’s Fleet Week. District 5 Supervisor Dean Preston tweeted Saturday that the Blue Angles should not be allowed to fly over San Francisco. Preston, a self-described Democratic socialist, didn’t say what he had against the U.S. Navy’s flight demonstration squadron. https://twitter.com/DeanPreston/status/1579234049335250944?s=20&t=BMX2IQ40C2YRh0N-v3hS9Q In the end, San Francisco’s legendary fog, not its politicians, forced the cancellation of Fleet Week’s Sunday air show. SFGATE reports: Despite thousands of people massing along Crissy Field, the city’s rooftops and anywhere else…
A senior U.S. official confirmed to ABC News that a coordinated cyberattack from the Russian Federation has struck some of the largest airports in the United States. The attacks have not affected operations, including air traffic control, airline security or internal airline communications. https://twitter.com/SweeneyABC/status/1579483592933183489 Instead, the official described it as an “inconvenience,” explaining that large-scale distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks have made multiple airport websites inaccessible, making it impossible for travelers to log on to get updates for their scheduled flights or book services.

Polls show Republican nominee Lee Zeldin within striking distance of New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D). Zeldin believes New Yorkers have hit their breaking point with Hochul’s administration. In her short time in office, critics say Hochul has mastered Albany’s pay-to-play culture. Beyond the allegations of corruption, Democratic policies like cashless bail appear too far left for many New Yorkers and may be enough to propel Zeldin to the governor’s mansion. But Zeldin laments the cost of bail reform, which he blames for the death of a young woman in suburban Buffalo. https://twitter.com/leezeldin/status/1578191932563460096?s=42&t=zz1pJ39FqBQNjxx8trrtVQ Keaira Bennefield, of Cheektowaga, was shot and…
The Uvalde School District suspended its entire police force today following the failure of the department to respond to the May 24 mass shooting at Robb Elementary School.

The mass suspension was long sought after by the families of the victims. Per Mediaite: “The District has made the decision to…
A TMZ cameraman caught up with Sharon Osbourne, wife of Ozzy Osbourne, last night. The rock ‘n’ roller’s famous wife had plenty to say about Black Lives Matter. Although Osbourne said she didn’t fully understand the point Kanye West was trying to make wearing a “White Lives Matter” shirt with Candace Owens at Paris Fashion Week, she clearly agreed with his bigger point about BLM being a “scam” and told the paparazzi she wants her $900,000 donation back. https://twitter.com/TMZ/status/1578400128796430336 West, who now goes by Ye, first called BLM a fraud in an interview on “Tucker Carlson Tonight.” The Daily Wire…
A new poll commissioned by Trafalgar Group shows Republican candidates within striking distance of two of the most prominent Democrats — in one of the country’s bluest states. According to a new survey of 1,000 likely voters in New York, Republican challenger Lee Zeldin is nipping at Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul’s proverbial heels. Hochul currently leads Zeldin 45% to 43% with 10% of voters undecided. https://twitter.com/RobertCahaly/status/1577957346352824321?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet Arguably worse for Democrats, Republican Michael Henry trails anti-Trump Attorney General Letitia James by a single point.
