    Just over a week after Thomas Donlon became Interim Police Commissioner of New York City, federal authorities executed a search warrant at his home on Friday, Donlon said in a statement Saturday night. “On Friday, September 20th, federal authorities executed search warrants at my residences,” Donlon said in a statement. “They took materials that came into my possession approximately 20 years ago and are unrelated to my work with the New York City Police Department.” Law enforcement officials say the search warrant is related to documents that the commissioner may have retained from his previous positions...

    Joe Biden was filmed snapping at staffers after an awkward gaffe during a final meeting with a group of world leaders. The president, 81, barked 'Who's next?' while introducing a leader from the 'Quad' nations of Australia, India and Japan at his home in Wilmington, Delaware, on Saturday night. Ending his introductory speech about the Quad's efforts to beat cancer, Biden said: 'So I want to thank you all for being here. And now, who am I introducing next?'

    She has launched her presidential campaign on a platform of taking on corporate wrongdoing and clamping down on billionaires. But in practice, Kamala Harris is seeking advice from the same big business leaders she claims to be raging against. The vice president has been attempting to woo captains of industry by inviting them to lunches and personally guided White House tours.

    Janet Jackson has claimed that Kamala Harris is not black - and that the Democrats' 2024 presidential nominee has a white father. Jackson, 58, made the shocking assertion in an interview with The Guardian, when asked on her feelings about the United States having its first female black president. 'Well, you know what they supposedly said?' the singer answered. 'She’s not black. That’s what I heard. That she’s Indian.'

    Half a billion fans, a multi-million dollar personal fortune and a global business empire. It would take a lot to dethrone YouTube's biggest influencer Jimmy Donaldson, aka MrBeast. But a 54-page court document could be his toughest test yet. Five female contestants on upcoming Prime Video show Beast Games are launching legal action against his production company MrB2024 and Amazon in Los Angeles. Billed as the largest ever reality competition series, 1,000 contestants are set to compete for a $5m (£3.7m) prize when the show airs - or if it airs. The lawsuit has plunged the show into crisis.

    The Democrat mayor of a community with many Arab-Americans in Wayne County, Michigan, who helped lead the uncommitted movement in the Democrat primary, told Sirius XM’s Breitbart News Saturday that his meeting with former President Donald Trump last week “was very productive” and well received by the community, which traditionally votes Democrat. Hamtramck Mayor Amer Ghalib (D) spoke with Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle in a nearly 20-minute segment on the program on the heels of his meeting with Trump in Flint, Michigan. Hamtramck, along with Dearborn and other cities in Wayne County, have sizable Muslim and Arab-American...

    Can Harris fix America's deteriorating fiscal health? Vice President Kamala Harris has proposed approximately $5 trillion in tax hikes over the next ten years, targeting wealthy Americans and rich corporations. For a federal government forecast to register $2 trillion in budget deficits during the same span, could this be the revenue boost needed to fix America’s deteriorating fiscal health? The projections show her policies are not even close to plugging the federal budget’s gaping hole.Kamala’s Tax Hikes – A Primer The public has heard the same song-and-dance routine for the last 20 years: Washington must make the affluent pay their...

    They spoke no Spanish, while their migrant students spoke no English. Chicago has a $9.9 billion budget. Its teachers’ unions, who control the city and have one of their own in the mayor’s office, get everything from free abortions to weight loss surgeries, to $145,000 salaries even though their students know absolutely nothing. In math, 19% of Chicago third through eighth graders were proficient on the IAR’s 2024 test, a 2 percentage point increase from the previous school year. During the spring of 2023, 17% of elementary school students were proficient in math, but in the spring of 2019, 24%...

    A Democratic darling and top fundraiser who had President Biden preside over his nuptials has dished out tens of thousands of dollars to Kamala Harris and other candidates — while the IRS was coming after him for millions in unpaid taxes, The Post has learned. Henry Muñoz, the finance chairman emeritus of the Democratic National Committee, had a whopping $3,497,319 federal income tax lien placed against him in April 2023, IRS records show, along with a $152,411.46 business tax warrant in his home state of Texas.That hasn’t stopped Muñoz, 64, from splashing out out six figures to his fellow Democrats...

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Palestinian American U.S. lawmaker Rashida Tlaib on Friday condemned as racist a cartoon published in the conservative magazine National Review showing her with an exploding pager - a reference to an attack this week against members of the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon. "Our community is already in so much pain right now. This racism will incite more hate + violence against our Arab & Muslim communities, and it makes everyone less safe. It's disgraceful that the media continues to normalize this racism," Tlaib wrote on the social media platform X. Tlaib, a Democrat who represents...

    Pittsburgh’s transformation from Rust Belt phoenix to progressive tech stronghold was supposed to be the Democrats’ long-term ace in the hole for Pennsylvania. Instead, hubris might just hand the Keystone State to the GOP in 2024. As Allegheny County limps toward another election cycle, Republicans are eyeing an opportunity born not of their own strength, but of Democratic complacency and voter disillusionment.The numbers paint a grim picture. Allegheny County hemorrhaged nearly 7,800 residents last year alone, placing it in the top 10 for population loss nationwide. Even more alarming, the county has shed 50,000 jobs in the past five years...

  • Trump and Harris Embrace of TikTok Shows Absurdity of Efforts to Ban App

    Townhall ^ | 09/21/2024 | Judson Phillips
    Even though President Biden signed legislation earlier this year that will effectively ban TikTok next year, politicians are flocking to the app to get their messages out. Right now, both former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, as well as their campaigns, are actively using the social media app to communicate political messages to potential voters. This is an understandable and appropriate use of social media to conduct First Amendment-protected political speech. Blocking this speech by banning TikTok would be a clear violation of Constitutional rights and will hopefully be rejected by the courts or reversed by the...

    Concerning the recent House funding plan: Was it that Schumer bring the SAVE Act to the floor of the Senate to allow Senators to vote on it? Or, was the plan simply to allow Republicans to talk about the SAVE Act and how much Democrats don’t want to protect Americans from illegal immigration, whether it’s the fentanyl pouring across our border, terrorists and criminal gang members flooding the nation, or preventing illegal aliens from voting in our elections? Let’s analyze the recent failure of the Continuing Resolution + SAVE plan to see if we can tease out what the plan...

    It's just not fair, I tell you. Israel manufacturing pagers ordered by terrorists loaded with explosives is not fighting fair. They shouldn't have disguised the explosive. They should have warned the terrorists. Volker Türk, the U.N. high commissioner for human rights, claims that the pager attacks using Hezbollah electronics not only "violated international human rights law" but also appear to violate international humanitarian law’s key principles in carrying out attacks: "distinction between civilians and combatants, proportionality, and precautions."As I said, Israel is not playing fair. They should have let Hezbollah blow up 3,700 Israelis to achieve the "proportionality" test of...

    Sometimes people can take the entire idea of complying with ridiculous government mandates several bridges too far. That appears to have been the case during a recent sporting event held in New Hampshire. A girls' soccer game was scheduled between Plymouth Regional High School and their rival Bow High School. Bow High School was fielding a boy who "identifies" as a girl to compete, but when the Plymouth Regional parents heard about this, they asked the Bow High athletic director to withdraw the boy from the roster. He refused, saying that "his hands were tied" by a federal ruling allowing...

    The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) was already pretty explicit in its support for killing Jews after Oct 7. A DSA founder, Maurice Isserman, resigned after that “to protest the DSA leadership’s politically and morally bankrupt response to the horrific Hamas October 7 anti-Jewish pogrom.” And it got worse from there. The DSA pushed out Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez for being insufficiently anti-Israel and Rep. Jamal Bowman had to beg to be let back in. Both AOC and Bowman are militantly anti-Israel so this was up there with the KKK or the Nation of Islam kicking out members for not...
