We stand ready to support this work diplomatically as well as by upholding our substantive military and financial support to Ukraine, including through the work of the Coalition of the Willing, and by upholding and imposing restrictive measures against the Russian Federation.

NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is a silver-spoon socialist shamelessly living in a dirt cheap rent-stabilized apartment – and it’s time to move out, fed up neighbors and critics told The Post. Mamdani, 33, who rakes in $142,000 a year as a state assemblyman and whose wealthy family includes his filmmaker mom and professor dad, has been living in a $2,300-a-month, one-bedroom pad in Astoria — galling facts that reached critical mass Saturday. “It’s unfortunate that he supports policies that are great for the fortunate few [who] get these apartments,” said Jerry DeFazio, 33, a mechanical engineer who lived in...

MI5 suspected that the German founder of Rolex was a Nazi spy, the Telegraph can reveal. Formerly classified documents at the National Archives show how secret service agents feared Hans Wilsdorf should be blacklisted due to his “strong” sympathies for Adolf Hitler’s regime. The Second World War papers, dated between 1941 and 1943, state that Wilsdorf was “most objectionable” and “suspected of espionage”. The file also suggested the businessman may have made much of his decision to offer British prisoners of war (POWs) free Rolex watches despite his real intentions being anything but patriotic. The papers – many stamped from...

Jimmy Fallon joked and laughed his way through a Tonight Show interview with Fox News late-night rival Greg Gutfeld, who recently tried to reclaim the word “Nazi” as his own. “In addition to Gutfeld! and The Five, you started hosting a new game show… I’m excited about this,“ Fallon said, in one of the few moments where he acknowledged what Gutfeld did for a living. Gutfeld has courted controversy throughout his time on Fox News, such as his 2023 call for a civil war after asserting that “elections don’t work,” or his attempt in July this year to “remove the...

A teacher convicted of sexually abusing an underage boy was able to have a baby with his husband through a surrogate, potentially exploiting a loophole in state law. The issue recently came to light and sparked outrage after a video circulated online showing Brandon Riley-Mitchell, 39, and his husband holding their infant boy and blowing out candles on a series of cupcakes. Riley-Mitchell, a former chemistry teacher at Downingtown West High School in Pennsylvania, was convicted in 2016 of sexually abusing a student and possessing child pornography.

Background: There are forces that create major shifts, and in the last years there has been a lot of talk about how "You'll own nothing and you'll be happy." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You%27ll_own_nothing_and_be_happy That is what I am seeing in the real estate sector.
