New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio Friday bragged about his Socialist plans for 2021 during a press conference. De Blasio has already destroyed New York City with his Covid lockdown orders and war on police. On Friday when speaking about his plans for education in New York City, he said, “We need to profoundly change the distribution of resources. I’d like to say very bluntly: Our mission is to redistribute wealth. A lot of people bristle at that phrase. That is in fact the phrase we need to use.” WATCH:

Eran Polack is hunkering down for a long, cold winter. As CEO of HAP Construction in New York City, he knows the signs that precede government orders to stop construction work, and lately, he’s been seeing a lot of them. “We’ve heard this song before,” Polack said. “They closed the schools, so that’s a sign. You can’t have a restaurant open after 10 p.m. You can’t open a gym, or have a gathering of more than 10 people. So, it’s getting there.” Those signals have spurred Polack and his crews to step up work at Maverick, the 20-story, 312,500-square-foot condominium...

The State Department has informed Congress that it plans to shutter its last two consulates in Russia over caps set by Moscow on the number of diplomats that are allowed in the country. In a letter to congressional leaders sent Dec. 10 and obtained by The Hill, the administration said it will permanently close its Vladivostok consulate and temporarily halt work at the consulate in Yekaterinburg. The letter confirming the closures was sent three days before news broke of a major hack of U.S. government agencies that is believed to have been conducted by an elite Russian cyber espionage unit....

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin added her voice to the growing chorus of conservative figures favoring a pardon of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. “I made a mistake some years ago, not supporting Julian Assange — thinking that he was a bad guy… I’ve learned a lot since then,” said Palin in a short video posted online. WikiLeaks and Palin were once at odds, the former publishing leaked emails from the latter during the 2008 presidential campaign when Palin was the Republican candidate for vice president. But Palin appears to have moved on from that incident, offering an unequivocal call for...

Democrat Stacey Abrams cheered 7.7 million registered voters in Georgia just in time for the January 5th Senate runoff elections. Does this surprise anyone? In November Democrats, with the assistance of Republican leadership in the state, were able to flip a reliably Republican state to Joe Biden who campaigned in his basement. Democrats used dead voters, criminals, phantom voters, late-night ballot dumps, criminal drop boxes and stashed suitcases filled with Biden ballots to steal the state, so far, for Dementia Joe. There were also thousands of underage teens who voted illegally in their first election. So far, NO ONE has...

Struggling restaurant owners city-wide are permanently banning New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo from setting foot into their establishments. Effective immediately. According to bar owner Larry Baird “ He can eat at some shitty roadside diner outside of Albany but he will not be served anywhere in New York City, known universally as the world’s greatest dining destination!

That’s what he wants anyway!” Former life long Coney Island resident Val Torre said that he’s finally moving to Florida. “It’s 70 degrees every day. My Coney Island...

Joe and “Dr.” Jill Biden sat down for a schmoozefest conversation with “The Late Show” host Stephen Colbert on Thursday, for a hard-hitting interview pandering game of “softball,” for which Colbert is famous — when it comes to all things Democrat, that is — as reported by my RedState colleague Becca Lower on Friday. On Friday night, Newsmax TV’s Greg Kelly, whose ratings have skyrocketed in the aftermath of the election, as Fox News viewers have run away from the Fox, and to Newsmax TV and other pro-Trump news outlets, broke down the Biden-Colbert schmoozefest in blistering fashion.Kelly got after...

With polls showing his runoff race for a US Senate seat from Georgia a dead heat, Democrat Jon Ossoff made a bid to nail down the votes of illegal immigrants, saying that "dreamers, DACA recipients are every bit as American as any of us, and I will have your back in the U.S. Senate." Of particular concern to Ossoff "is whether illegal immigrants are being paid a fair wage. The campesinos who work in the fields, enduring some of the most brutal conditions of labor anywhere in this country to keep America fed are paid less than the minimum wage....

Pepsi plans to make saying goodbye to 2020 "even sweeter" by releasing a hot cocoa-flavored soda. Yes, you read that correctly. "> Pepsi posted a tweet on Dec. 17 announcing its newest product: Pepsi "Cocoa" Cola, which seemed to be a slight jab at its major beverage competitor, Coca Cola.

One thing is certain. If President Trump goes down on January 6, 2020, the day Congress convenes to count Electoral College votes, he will not go down without a final fight. In a series of Saturday tweets, Trump cited the recently released report from Peter Navarro, director of the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy, in which Navarro outlined several examples of voting irregularities, which he claimed are “more than sufficient” to swing the outcome of the election in President Trump’s favor.Navarro’s lengthy report reads in part, as reported by Washington Examiner:The 36-page report “assesses the fairness and integrity of...

A record 621 people died of drug overdoses in San Francisco so far this year, a staggering number that far outpaces the 173 deaths from COVID-19 the city has seen thus far. The crisis fueled by the powerful painkiller fentanyl could have been far worse if it wasn’t for the nearly 3,000 times Narcan was used from January to the beginning of November to save someone from the brink of death Last year, 441 people died of drug overdoses—a 70% increase from 2018—and 2,610 potential overdoses were prevented by Narcan, a medication commonly sprayed up the nose to reverse an...

In the victimhood olympics, some players start off more privileged than others, by being born a minority, or choosing to become a sexual minority. While others have nothing going for them except being the mediocre trophy wife of a creepy old man. So they've gotta play the hand that they were dealt. Just ask Dr. Jill, who is still whining about not being called Dr for her degree in education which she uses to teach community college students. But don't ask "Mr. Carson" for comment. In a joint interview with her husband on Stephen Colbert’s Late Show, she said: “That...

Although much of the mainstream media over the past few years has attempted to shove the term "Latinx" down our throats and the fact that the word is very unpopular in the Hispanic community, Washington Post Reporter Jose A. Del Real might have sounded what ultimately might be the death knell on 'Latinx.' And it's not because the left has necessarily become less woke. No, the real reason 'Latinx' might finally, mercifully be ditched is because Democrats believe that use of that word could have cost it votes in the 2020 election in Texas and Florida.Del Real revealed the strong...
