    Ella Emhoff, the fashion model stepdaughter of Vice President Kamala Harris, is raising money publicly on her Instagram page for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency – a group tied to the mass slaughter of Jews on October 7, 2023, in southern Israel. UNRWA was directly tied to the Hamas-led attack on innocent Israelis in southern Israel on October 7. Over 1,100 Jews were slaughtered that day and another 200 were taken hostage back to Gaza. The New York Post reported: The stepdaughter of Vice President Kamala Harris is publicly raising cash for the United Nations Relief and Works...
  • NJ lawmakers pull bill that would give them power to block info from public after backlash

    New Jersey state lawmakers did an about-face on a controversial bill that critics said would have given government bureaucrats and politicians more power to block information from the public. Some Garden State Democrats had looked to fast-track the bill to change the state’s open records law but backed off on Thursday, pulling the proposal before a key committee could vote to advance it. The decision was hailed as a victory for open-government advocates who fought tooth and nail to kill it — even though it may not be gone for good. “Democracy only functions when the voice of the people...
  • Blocking newspaper trucks is NOT ‘peaceful protest’

    NY Post ^ | 3/15/24 | Post Editorial Board
    When anti-Israel activists swarmed the plant that prints The New York Times, The Post and other newspapers the other day, aiming to stop the papers’ distribution, cops passed on making arrests because this was supposedly “peaceful protest.” No: It was a forceful attack on a private enterprise (on private property, too), and on the freedom of the press. But city government refuses to protect the peace, and has even signed away its ability to restrain out-of-control “protest” mobs. Heck, City Hall agreed to pay $13 million to “protesters” — nearly $10K per rioter — arrested during the looting, arson, and...

    It’s time for America to come together and make Donald Trump the next president of the United States. I was one of those who doubted he could pull off a second presidential victory and backed Nikki Haley. I was wrong — Trump is ready to be president again, and the country needs him. Indicted 91 times by biased prosecutors out to stop him, Trump has engineered a great comeback.

    A man was left critically injured after being shot multiple times Thursday afternoon while waiting on the platform of a Brooklyn subway station. The attack came a week after Gov. Kathy Hochul deployed hundreds of National Guard members and state troopers to check riders’ bags in an effort to deter crime so commuters could “feel safe.” “Teams of mental health workers” were also promised by Hochul to calm riders. CBS News New York reports the incident happened just before 5 p.m. on the northbound platform of the A/C line at the Hoyt-Schermerhorn station.

    Washington Examiner ^ | March 13, 2024 | Annabella Rosciglione
    New York City is spending about $387 per day per migrant to provide food and shelter to the 64,800 migrants in the city, according to data from NYC City Hall. February’s number is down $5 from an October count when the city was housing 65,400 migrants. That number peaked in November, hitting $391 per day per migrant. These numbers do not reflect the cost of other services like medical care and education. “In the last two months, Mayor Adams has laid out plans to save billions of taxpayer dollars as New York City manages a national humanitarian crisis, and the...
  • New York's 'undocumented immigrant' lawmaker slammed for REWRITING 9/11 history: bill would focus K-12 lessons on 'xenophobia' and anti-Muslim bullying, not the terror attacks that killed 3,000

    A New York Democrat seeks to revise public school lessons about 9/11 to focus them on the 'xenophobia' and anti-Muslim hate crimes that followed the deadly terrorist attacks, DailyMail.com can reveal. Catalina Cruz, an assemblywoman who came to the US illegally as a child, has drafted a bill to shift the focus of K-12 classes away from the Al-Qaeda terrorists who murdered thousands of people in September 2001. Her bill would require schools to teach kids more about the 'aftermath' of the attacks, a rise in 'Islamophobia and xenophobia' and 'hate crimes and discrimination' against Muslims and other minorities linked...

    A New York commission that will recommend whether to give reparations for slavery and discrimination to black residents hasn’t even met yet - but it’s already sparked a rift among black New Yorkers over who should be eligible for payouts. **SNIP** Bertha Lewis, head of the Brooklyn-based Black Institute, told The Post that reparations must be considered for all black residents, because they have suffered from decades of systemic racism resulting from slavery - even if they are not direct descendants of slaves. “That’s a false narrative,” Lewis said. “I don’t give a f**k what California did.” “You can’t just...

    The Democratic superlawyer who resigned in disgrace from the #MeToo organization Time's Up after helping former New York governor Andrew Cuomo (D.) discredit his accusers is now defending Columbia University against a lawsuit alleging that it fosters a pervasive culture of anti-Semitism. Roberta Kaplan filed notice last month to represent Columbia and its sister college, Barnard, against lawsuits that accuse school leaders of enabling an "antisemitic hostile educational environment" in the wake of Hamas's terrorist attack on Israel. Students Against Antisemitism and a group of five Columbia students allege that school leaders have turned a blind eye as anti-Semitic activists...

    Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan revealed Monday that he was convinced to launch his Senate campaign after witnessing former President Donald Trump’s overt influence on the debate surrounding a bipartisan border bill last month. “It’s why I decided to run for Senate,” the Republican Maryland Senate candidate said during an appearance on MSNBC. Hogan, 67, announced his bid for the Senate seat currently occupied by retiring Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.) on Feb. 9. The former governor had previously dismissed having any interest in serving in the upper chamber, citing the quarrelsome nature of life in the Senate.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lashed out at protesters who accosted her at a Brooklyn movie theater and demanded the lefty lawmaker call Israel’s military campaign in Gaza a “genocide,” new video shows.

    Sea levels surrounding New York City are expected to rise at least 6 to 9 inches in the 2030s and potentially up to 13 inches in some areas due to climate change, according to state projections. The assessment done by the state Department of Environmental Conservations also claims that sea levels in the lower Hudson River could swell by 23 inches in the 2050s and up to 45 inches in the 2080s. The DEC posted its projections of sea levels in the New York State Register, based on studies of global climate models. The agency is required to periodically post...

    Two weeks ago, on February 16, in a case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, Justice Arthur Engoron of the New York State Supreme Court issued his decision ordering Donald Trump to pay some $355 million of “disgorgement” penalties. The stated basis for imposing these extraordinary penalties was Trump’s supposed “fraud” of exaggerating the value of some of his properties on financial statements submitted to a bank. No one had been damaged by Trump’s conduct, and the bank in question had neither complained nor sought any relief; however, the Attorney General asserted, and the judge agreed, that a...
