    A man berating a Jewish customer trying to enjoy breakfast with his young child inside a kosher cafe in Brooklyn — with disturbing video showing the unhinged man describing all Jewish people as “evil” and claiming Adolf Hitler “was onto something.” The footage, shot inside the Almah cafe, along Utica Avenue, shows the moment a man dressed in a pink hoodie confronts a customer on Thursday morning, demanding he give his opinion on the war in Gaza. “You guys are killing babies,” the man tells the frustrated father, adding that “something bad is going to happen” to Jewish people. “Jewish...

    Jake Paul is the latest social media influencer to endorse Donald Trump in his run for the White House. The YouTuber-turned-boxer seemingly took to social media to show his support for Trump ahead of the elections and as he prepares for his fight with Mike Tyson on Netflix. “Uh, nervous, scared to make this video because of what it means in terms of my career, my life, people coming after me, more accusations, more turmoil, more division potentially,” Paul said in the video he shared on X, the microblogging platform formerly known as Twitter. Paul said his video was directed...

    The San Francisco Chronicle ^ | October 31, 2024 | Maggie Angst
    A mysterious new street sign that reads ‘No Parking’ because of a 'drug injection site' has been installed on a street corner teeming with open-air drug dealers and users in San Francisco’s SoMa neighborhood. The official-looking sign, affixed to a pedestrian crossing pole on the corner of Sixth and Jessie streets, is not a city sign, according to the Department of Public Works. It was not clear Thursday morning who was responsible for it. The sign reads: “No Parking 12:01 a.m. to 4 a.m. SUN thru SAT DRUG INJECTION SITE” *** Peaslee said the Sixth Street corridor between Mission and...
  • Jewish Republican Lee Zeldin Accepts Arabs’ Endorsement for Trump in New York

    Former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY), one of the most prominent pro-Israel politicians in America, accepted the endorsement of several Arab American leaders for former President Donald Trump in New York City on Thursday. Zeldin, who is Jewish, accepted the endorsement on behalf of Trump himself, who is campaigning in the swing states ahead of Tuesday’s election. The scene was almost surreal: Zeldin, one of the most prominent Zionists on Capitol Hill, standing shoulder to shoulder with Arab and Muslim leaders who may have rather different views on Israel. But the Trump campaign appears to be pulling off one of the...

    More than half of American voters have voted early or plan to vote before Election Day, a new Gallup poll revealed Thursday. Out of 933 registered voters surveyed between October 14 and October 27, 20 percent said they had already voted, and another 34 percent said they are planning to do so before November 5, bringing the total to 54 percent. While the pollster found that the number of early voters is lower than what it was in 2020 — 64 percent — the rate is still higher compared to pre-coronavirus election years, before the popularity of voting by mail...

    Radiohead singer Thom Yorke briefly walked off stage during his Australian solo tour after an exchange with an audience member who heckled him with a protest about deaths in Gaza. Videos posted online by concert-goers at the Melbourne show on Wednesday show a man in the crowd shouting at Yorke. While not all of his words can be heard, he calls on the singer to "condemn the Israeli genocide of Gaza". Yorke responds by telling the heckler to "hop up on stage" to make his remarks. "Don't stand there like a coward, come here and say it. You want to...

    A frail-looking Bill Clinton called out “young Arab Americans” in a hoarse defense of Israel’s deadly war against Hamas in Gaza during a stump speech in Michigan — a swing state with a large Arab population, which has made Israel policy a major issue. “The hardest issue here in Michigan is the Middle East,” Clinton, 78, shakily told the crowd at a “Souls to the Polls” event in Muskegon Heights in western Michigan Wednesday morning, according to Michigan Live. “I understand why young Palestinians and Arab Americans here in Michigan think too many people have died. I get that,” he...

    In a sharp rebuke of comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's characterization of Puerto Rico as a "floating island of garbage" during a rally for Republican former U.S. President Donald Trump, Democratic President Joe Biden made a remark that appeared to characterize Trump supporters as "garbage." Controversy arose not only because Trump's supporters took offense at what they heard, but because the White House released a transcript offering a different take on what Biden said or meant to say. Specifically, the controversy hinged on whether Biden said "The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters," plural, meaning all of Trump's...

    There's an election-themed Halloween display in Alameda that's likely to stop people in their tracks. But Cathy and Dan Balsam didn't erect a MAGA carnival in their yard because they're fans of Donald Trump. In fact, the two detest the former president, and the decorations in their yard are meant to mock Trump and his cronies.

    Donald Trump has overtaken Kamala Harris in the final DailyMail.com/J.L. Partners national poll before Election Day, with the former president holding a three-point lead over the vice president. Both candidates have shored up their bases, but Trump has done better at picking up support from independents and undecided voters in the final push, according to the data. The poll of 1,000 likely voters, which has margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percent, shows that Trump is trending up, with the support of 49 percent to Harris' 46 percent. The race is still close. Yet, with five days to...

    Election Day is just days away and of all the critical issues at stake, there is one that has a fast-approaching deadline to get a handle on: climate change. If emissions aren't drastically reduced by 2035, the U.N. warned last week, global climate disaster will be inevitable — but the impacts of climate change are already being felt in daily life in the U.S. From maternal health and immigration to the cost of food, electricity and insurance, here's how. The economy is top of mind for voters this year, and experts say that climate change has the potential for "significant...

    The Biden-Harris administration used social media on Wednesday to renew the push to ban AR-15s and similar rifles. The White House posted to X: President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have consistently pushed a ban against America’s most popular rifle–the AR-15–throughout the tenure of their administration. Moreover, Harris, as the Democrat presidential candidate, has continued to push the ban as part of her campaign. Her running mate, Democrat Tim Walz, also supports the gun control.

    Reprinted with permission from Tablet magazine. In the September debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, Trump said something so ludicrous that many viewers must have dismissed it out of hand. “She did things that nobody would ever think of,” Trump said, while rattling off a list of some of the vice president’s most radical “Now she wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison.” The idea that the vice president “wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison” seemed so patently absurd that The New Yorker’s Susan Glasser cited it in...

    New Yorkers can now cross the street outside the crosswalk or against the traffic light without being ticketed by police.​ Jaywalking is now legal in New York City after a bill passed by the City Council last month officially became law. New Yorkers can now cross the street outside the crosswalk or against the traffic light without being ticketed by police. The city council moved to decriminalize the act after city data showed that Black and Latino pedestrians were disproportionately targeted by police. More than 90 percent of the jaywalking tickets issued last year went to Black and Latino people,...

    On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) said he’s “not wild about” taxing unrealized capital gains, but “I’m wild about a democracy that works. I’m wild about the rich history of our country continuing for the future. I’m wild about opponents having a voice and having a seat at the table, as opposed to being thrown in jail or hunted down by our military.” While Murphy was talking about New Jersey’s tax policies in the broader context of tax policy fairness, co-host Joe Kernen cut in to ask, “Are you in favor of taxing...
