A deranged, woman-hating maniac wanted for more than a half-dozen random attacks on women in the Big Apple is finally in custody, police and sources said Tuesday. Daquan Armstead, 31, was picked up by cops shortly after midnight and charged with third-degree assault and harassment in eight unprovoked attacks on women over the past month, the sources said. That includes an April 17 attack on a 27-year-old administrator at New York University, who was slugged in the face while walking through Washington Square Park around 10:30 a.m., according to police. The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating, although details...

Congressman Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.) had choice words for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Saturday comments, calling him a “maniac” who “needs” to be removed from office. The progressive Democrat initially discussed the Biden administration transferring 1,800 MK84 2,000-pound bombs, 500 MK82 500-pound bombs and 25 F-35A fighter jets to Israel without notifying lawmakers, an arms package reported exclusively by the Washington Post on Friday.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) is calling out her colleagues in Congress who have sat down with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the ongoing war between his country and the terror group Hamas. She called the conservative leader a “genocidal maniac” in a post on her Instagram Story on Wednesday. “Every member of Congress who sits down with this murderer is supporting a war criminal,” Tlaib wrote. “We will never ever forget.” That would include fellow Democrats who met with Netanyahu since the war began, as the issue continues to fracture the left.

A creep pushing a toddler in a stroller has been terrorizing women on Manhattan’s Upper East Side for months – body-checking them into walls and spitting in their faces in the violent, unprovoked attacks. At least five women have been targeted in the tony neighborhood since June, and as recently as Saturday, by the brute, who remains on the lam. They include Veronica Poloneitchik, who recalled being shoved to the ground on East 82nd Street and Second Avenue on June 26 – after admiring the man and young child on the street. “As a woman, you always pay attention to...

"That is the lunatic fringe of gun ownership. And they are disproportionately represented and that skews the conversation," he continued. "And pushing back at, I would never make the mistake of thinking, that’s representative of your average gun owner in America."

Former VP Dick Cheney called Trump "a maniac," per a new book by Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns. The elder Cheney backed his daughter Liz in her vote for Trump's second impeachment, the book said.

An Ohio professor is reportedly under investigation for making a Facebook post calling for anti-gun activists to "storm the NRA headquarters" and "make sure there are no survivors." James Pearce, an adjunct professor at Southern State Community College in Hillsboro, wrote the post on June 13, the day after the terrorist mass shooting attack in Orlando.

It was a true political miracle that Democratic establishment candidate Hillary Clinton was soundly defeated in the 2016 Presidential election. It is a testament to the will of the people, who finally gained the courage to speak up against powerful and corrupt government and corporate interests. You can be sure this shocking defeat must have stung for Hillary Clinton, who went into seclusion for a prolonged period following the election. It has also left the Democratic party scrambling to fill the power vacuum left following Clinton’s stunning loss. They may have found their answer, and it is both pathetic and...

Donald Trump is increasingly attacking Ted Cruz from an establishment perspective, just like he did in December when he called Cruz a maniac for taking on McConnell and the Republican establishment. Well here he goes again, today saying Ted Cruz has a ‘rough temperament’ for calling McConnell a liar on the Senate floor and suggesting that’s not the right way to ‘curry favor’ to ‘get the positive votes’:Donald Trump on Ted Cruz temperament (Video)If The Donald is so interested in currying favor to get the positive votes, then there’s no telling what he will compromise to make that happen. We’ve...

Why I won't support the latest last-minute $1.1 trillion spending bill. By SEN. TED CRUZ December 17, 2015 It's Christmastime in Washington, D.C., and that can mean only one thing: Congress is once again playing Santa Claus. The names at the top of its list are the Washington Cartel: The big businesses and lobbyists who get in bed with career politicians to do nothing but grow government. And left off the list: the American taxpayer. Thanks to last year's landslide elections, Republicans now control more seats in Congress, more governorships and more state legislative seats across the country than at...

Ted Cruz on Tuesday said he did not "intend" to support a path to legal status for undocumented immigrants, closing the door much more tightly on a proposal he has repeatedly declined to address. Cruz has vocally opposed a path to citizenship for the millions of undocumented immigrants in the United States, but he has taken pains during his presidential campaign to never rule out a path to legal status, often telling reporters that he will not discuss what to do with them until the border has secured...

On Monday night’s radio program, Conservative Review Editor-in-Chief Mark Levin called out Donald Trump for mimicking the statists and the Republican establishment by attacking rival Ted Cruz and Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia over the weekend.Listen: Listen to the audio at the link.Levin cited three “reckless comments” made by Donald Trump.First, Mr. Trump joined in with a leftist on CNN to dump on Justice Scalia, who’s comments during oral argument have been unfairly accused of being racist. Conservatives know better. Second, Levin said that Mr. Trump’s insinuation that Ted Cruz is bought and paid for by Texas oil companies...

....Levin said, “I am not going to defend reckless comments, where a candidate or candidates defend the poison that is the Republican establishment, especially [Sen.] Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) in the United States Senate. I am not going to defend blowing out our federal budget subsidizing agribusiness and leftists with ethanol that screw up your engine and drive up the price of fuel and the price of corn. I am not going to defend an attack led by the media and the left trying to smear Antonin Scalia, who’s been on the Supreme Court for over 30 years, one of...

Mark Levin sounded pretty angry with Donald Trump tonight for some "stupid" blunders, including his trashing of Ted Cruz as a "maniac."Levin is a big fan of Cruz and loves how passionately he takes on the establishment, and so naturally he was more than a little dismayed to see Trump--who Levin said should be on the same side as Cruz on this--falling for the liberal media trap.As a reminder, yesterday on Fox News Sunday, Trump said that Cruz won't be able to get anything done as president because "you can't walk into the Senate and scream and call people liars...

Via MFP, six months after the birth of Trumpmania, this is what finally raised a red flag? Trump arguing that Cruz is a bit of a “maniac” for taking on the entire Senate when it might pose a problem for a president who’ll need friends in Congress to help him pass his agenda? Guy Benson wrote this last week about Trump’s many admirers in conservative talk radio: Here’s how the coy game has worked: When Trump is right, they praise him. Fine. When Trump is factually wrong, while making an argument that may contain a “larger truth,” they justify his...

Donald Trump is losing to Ted Cruz in Iowa, and he thinks it's yuuuge problem. A Des Moines Register poll taken over the weekend has Cruz up 10 points on Trump, “a 21 percentage-point leap that smashes records for upsurges in recent Iowa caucuses history.” Trump is hitting back though in typical Trumpian fashion. Seizing leaked comments from Cruz at a meeting of donors as an excuse to go on the attack, Trump took to twitter to vent.   Looks like @tedcruz is getting ready to attack. I am leading by so much he must. I hope so, he will fall...
