A violent brawl has broken out during a Pride celebration in New York City.

Footage shows the moment a Mercedes driver slapped a boy with autism for bending the car's hood ornament. The unidentified motorist is seen smacking ten-year-old Alfredo Morales seconds after surveying the damage Monday, which would cost around $500 to fix. The car itself costs just north of $146,000, and was purchased just over a year ago from a dealership in Southern California, a vehicle history report shows. The filmed attack took place at Laurel Canyon Boulevard and Osbourne Street in Pacoima, according to KTLA. The man's license plate was shared by the person behind the camera afterwards. In the footage,...

Observant sidewalk counselors reported an emergency at a Virginia Planned Parenthood, located at 201 North Hamilton Street in Richmond on April 12, 2024. Operation Rescue secured 911 records for the emergency call made at 11:50 a.m. that day. The Planned Parenthood employee who made the call stated the “patient is currently having (emphasis added) a termination procedure done and, it looks, appears to be a possible uterine perforation” (incorrectly pronounced “preferation”). “Because the caller said the woman was ‘currently having’ an abortion, we do not know if the baby was still alive,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “We know...

People moving to New York City should come with a dream, a good pair of walking shoes—and, depending on where they plan to live, a million-dollar salary. Six neighborhoods in the city require homebuyers to earn seven figures to even consider making an offer on a tony address, according to new research compiled by Realtor.com®. The most expensive neighborhood in the five boroughs is Nolita, where the median home costs an eye-watering $5,351,875. Any aspiring or current New Yorker who wants to live in the four-block-wide Manhattan neighborhood—which is now the center of trendy boutiques and chic restaurants—needs to earn...

A key indicator for tracking the spread of COVID-19 has officially reached "high" levels across western U.S. states, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now shows. But the agency says it remains too early to say whether this year's summer COVID-19 surge has arrived nationwide. Levels of SARS-CoV-2 virus showing up in wastewater samples are climbing in most parts of the country, according to figures from the agency through June 27. Health authorities have increasingly relied on analyzing samples from sewers to get a sense of COVID-19 trends, now that cases are largely no longer being tested...

A student who filmed himself storming into a New York college administrator’s office and tearing down two pro-Israel banners is suing the school – and claiming the official “violently” attacked him. Purchase College administrator Paul Nicholson allegedly attacked sophomore Cesar Paul who went into his office and tore down a pair of banners that said “We Stand with Israel” on Dec. 12, 2023 because they made classmates feel threatened and marginalized, the student said in the lawsuit. But after he took down the pieces, Nicholson — an ombudsman who runs two other programs at the Westchester County school in the...

When Donald Trump issued a ban on travelers from some Muslim-majority countries just a week into his presidency, Democratic attorneys general were caught off guard. They hadn’t expected the policy, long promised by Trump on the campaign trail, to materialize so quickly. Over the course of a few days, they scrambled to sue to stop the executive order, setting off four years of intense hostility between top Democratic lawyers and a Republican White House. Now, Democratic attorneys around the country are already gearing up for the possibility of a second Trump administration by beginning to map out an aggressive legal...

Justice Department officials plan to pursue the criminal cases against Donald Trump past Election Day even if he wins, under the belief that department rules against charging or prosecuting a sitting president would not kick in until Inauguration Day in January, according to people familiar with the discussions. That approach may become more consequential given this week’s Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity, which probably will lead to further delays to Trump’s election interference trial in D.C. and has already affected one of his state cases. Senior law enforcement officials have long viewed the two federal indictments against Trump —...

CV NEWS FEED // The National Abortion Federation (NAF) has been forced to cut the monthly budget of its hotline in half because funding to directly finance abortions has declined since 2023, according to the nonprofit organization’s CEO, Brittany Fonteno. Fonteno told Bloomberg journalist Kelsey Butler in a June 26 article that there is “less support and less funding,” despite NAF working with a higher number of women seeking abortions. Fonteno’s comments about the decline in abortion funding come amid the Democratic National Committee’s recent pledge to spend over $8 million towards getting pro-abortion candidates elected.

A “highly unusual and potentially chilling effort” is underway to reign in the Deep State and put an end to government actors subverting the will of American voters, Republican or Democrat. Stop it guys, you’re getting me too excited. “Seasoned political operative” Tom Jones and his American Accountability Foundation are making a list. They better check twice. And they’re gonna find out who’s, well… really just who’s naughty. With a $100,000 grant from the Heritage Foundation, Jones is taking a deep dive into the “backgrounds, social media posts and commentary of key high-ranking government employees.” First up: Department of Homeland...

Right wing protest song. Great production values.

American cable giant Spectrum is raising its TV, internet and phone plan prices in July. Spectrum's internet base price will increase by $3 a month for all plans beginning in July, CNET reported.

Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) acknowledged that President Biden had a rocky debate performance, saying that he had “preparation overload.” Biden’s lackluster debate performance Thursday sparked concerns among Democrats about his ability to serve a second term in the White House. However, Clyburn shot down any suggestions that Biden should step down from the ticket, urging people to look at his administration’s record and not judge based on one night. “Yes, it was a bad performance. I’ve been around these things. I’ve been a part of debate preparation before, and I know when I see what I call preparation overload. And...

Hawaii police arrested a man who allegedly robbed a wife and husband visiting from California and then proceeded to pursue them into a national park. The Santa Cruz couple, Alex and Justina Lucero, said they were robbed at gunpoint and forced to hide on Haleakala volcano on Maui for 24 hours between June 4 and June 5. Maui police said they arrested Christopher Helmer on June 8 and he’s being held on $50,000 bail. The Luceros, who perform in the Alex Lucero Band out of Santa Cruz, were on Maui to play two corporate events, according to a joint Instagram...

After arguably one of the most disastrous televised debate performances in American history, President Biden’s campaign continues to try to reset the nagging narrative that he shouldn’t run the country until he’s 86 years old. And while there’s plenty to bolster the position the president doesn’t have another four years in him (from a Post poll saying 82% of people don’t think Biden should run to evidence that all he can handle is a six-hour workday), the re-election effort is nonetheless trying to convince media and the country that none of what they saw Thursday night mattered. At a Saturday...

WASHINGTON — President Biden slammed the Supreme Court’s decision Monday to grant former President Donald Trump absolute immunity from prosecution for “official acts” during his presidency — saying voters “deserve” a speedier trial for his prospective election rival. Biden, 81, spoke from the red-carpeted Cross Hall for about four minutes — reading closely from a pair of teleprompters before turning to leave as reporters peppered him with questions about his disastrous performance at Thursday’s CNN debate against Trump, 78. “Mr. President, will you drop out of the race?” a reporter shouted as Biden turned away from his lectern. “What makes...

Terrifying video shows the moment a mob of men brutally beat a lesbian couple who were out celebrating one of their birthdays. The group of about seven to 10 'Middle Eastern' men, believed to be from Syria, could be seen kicking at one of the women, who laid in the ground surrounded by her attackers - while the other struggled to break free from another man's clutches. Both women sustained injuries in the attack - which Emma MacLean said started when one of the men made a rude comment at her as she and her girlfriend, only identified as Tori,...

Dennis Winn, 72, was arrested after he allegedly shot down a Walmart Delivery drone that was making mock deliveries in his neighborhood.
