A suspect surrendered Tuesday to face charges for the senseless fatal shove of an 87-year-old singing coach in Manhattan, cops said. The beloved singing coach struck her head on the ground and suffered a traumatic brain injury. She died at Bellevue Hospital a few days later. Her arraignment is pending in Manhattan Criminal Court . Gustern coached Blondie singer Debbie Harry and a Broadway cast of “Oklahoma.” Before the attack, Gustern had several pals at her apartment to rehearse for an upcoming cabaret show, a friend told the Daily News. “Her background in music theatre and opera was extraordinary, and...

Pretty much any tornado captured on video is dramatic, but when the twister flips a truck on a highway, admittedly it garners more attention. However, when the truck then lands on its wheels and drives away? That's exactly what we have in this extraordinary video from Elgin, Texas. A vicious line of storms hit the area in the evening hours, spawning multiple tornadoes according to KXAN News. One was captured on video by Brian Emfinger as it crossed a highway, filling the sky with debris and catching a red Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck in its vortex. As the video above...

In Christianity and Culture, T.S. Eliot wrote of liberalism: . . . it is something that tends to release energy rather than accumulate it, to relax, rather than to fortify. It is a movement not so much defined by its end, as by its starting point; away from, rather than towards, something definite. Our point of departure is more real to us than our destination; and the destination is likely to present a very different picture when arrived at, from the vaguer image formed in imagination. By destroying traditional social habits of the people, by dissolving their natural collective consciousness...

Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said on Tuesday that he is working with Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) and other Republicans to try to find a way to pay for new coronavirus relief funding after it was dropped from a massive government spending bill earlier this month. "We are trying to get COVID relief. I'm working with Senator Romney and other Republicans in good faith to find some pay fors that are acceptable to Democrats and Republicans in the House and the Senate. We hope to get it done," Schumer told reporters.

James O’Keefe on Tuesday revealed the Biden DOJ spied on Project Veritas journalists with sealed search warrants then concealed the communications from a federal judge. Project Veritas obtained legal documents from Microsoft Corporation revealing the DOJ obtained an extension on two sealed search warrants after a federal judge denied the Department’s efforts to “unsupervised and unfettered access to privileged emails and contacts of eight PV journalists.” According to O’Keefe, Judge Torres ruled that federal prosecutors must be supervised by a Special Master to protect the journalists’ First Amendment rights. The documents obtained by Project Veritas prove the DOJ went behind...

Russian troops are retreating after being repelled from a strategic Kyiv suburb, Ukraine has claimed, in a move which could stop Vladimir Putin's forces from surrounding the capital. Ukraine’s armed forces said Moscow has lost its 'offensive potential' and reinforcements were being called in from the 'depths' of Russia to help them capture Makariv, a city located 37 miles from Kyiv. Ukrainian forces have been fighting back in Makariv in order to prevent Russian forces from surrounding the capital. The armed forces claimed the 'heroic actions of our defenders' have forced Russian troops back while a counterattack in the south...

Attorney General Merrick Garland is not going to save democracy. Nor is the attorney general of New York, Letitia James; the Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg; nor the Fulton County district attorney, Fani Willis. As the apparent collapse of the New York district attorney’s investigation makes clear, criminal cases are hard to make. Donald Trump, despite his many seemingly criminal acts, is unlikely to ever spend a day in jail. Observers of the Trump malignancy have an unfortunate habit of wish casting—believing that their most optimistic fantasies will become reality. They did this with the Mueller investigation—remember “It’s Mueller Time”?—and...

Joy Behar told her co-hosts Tuesday on ABC’s “The View” that the Republican Party was the “non-eduction” party because of GOP legislation addressing Critical Race Theory. While discussing a New York Times article on Critical Race Theory, co-host Whoopi Goldberg said, “I think if you’re saying we shouldn’t be talking about — any time somebody says you shouldn’t be talking about this, I want to know why not? Why shouldn’t people be aware there’s something out there that may or may not relate to race?”

A Chinese state-run company linked to Hunter Biden, the son of the President of the United States, recently partnered with Saudi Arabia’s leading petroleum and natural gas company to collaborate on energy production, The National Pulse can reveal. The agreement – reported elsewhere without the Hunter Biden link – comes amidst Saudi and United Arab Emirates (UAE) leaders declining calls with President Joe Biden amidst America’s surging oil and gas prices. In the same time period, Saudi Arabia’s state-backed firm Saudi Aramco signed a “preliminary agreement” with China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation (Sinopec) aimed at boosting “its presence in the...

The clock is ticking for the Ukrainian people as war criminal Vladimir Putin’s military forces brutalize the civilian population with unrelenting bombings and missile attacks. But President Joe Biden is still dragging his feet in providing the Ukrainians the help they need in time to save their country. His administration has other priorities. The Biden team is using Russia as its intermediary to negotiate a revival of the disastrous nuclear deal with Iran and is using TikTok “influencers” to spread the Biden administration’s propaganda. Every step of the way, President Biden has allowed his fear of Putin to dictate...

A man submerged up to his chin in brown, murky floodwaters and a group of miners covered head to toe in black soot -- these are a few of the images featured at a new climate-inspired photography exhibit at the Kennedy Center called Coal + Ice. The display, running through April 22, features a spread of photos and videos taken across the globe and documents the harmful effects of human activity on the planet. It showcases the work of more than 50 photographers and videographers from around the world and the varying ways climate change manifests. Coal + Ice comes...

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism. Hispanics, once the favored demographic for the minority-majority formula of the Democrats, are drifting away. Every few weeks another poll depresses Dem politicians, activists, and organizers even more. Hispanics now support a generic Republican for Congress by 9 points. Texas primary election results suggest that Hispanic voters are choosing Republican primaries over Dem ones. That’s a catastrophically bad metric that goes beyond an election to political commitment. Democrats wonder where their beautiful dream of a permanent...

No sooner do we note here the out-of-control crime in San Francisco (and elsewhere in California) than we find a magical solution appear: stop collecting and reporting crime data! Yesterday the FBI released its quarterly uniform crime report. There appears this curious note on the home page: In other words, if I read this right not enough law enforcement agencies sent in the data required for the FBI to provide national statistics. Maybe this is a consequence of cutting police budgets. That’s one way of reducing the crime rate! Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal followed up yesterday with this item...

As PJM’s Matt Margolis noted recently, the nation’s Second Guy, Doug Emhoff, the husband of Kamala Harris, has COVID-19, but at this point that means a bad cold for most people, and Emhoff should be back doing whatever he does in the next few days. Meanwhile, Old Joe Biden has given us new evidence of the obvious fact that he is not all there, for when he announced that Emhoff had come down with the China bug, he described him as “the First Lady’s husband” — which would be Old Joe himself — and only noticed what he had...

You heard it. I heard it. The whole world heard it. Even CNN reported it. PJM’s Matt Margolis reported on it here. At the winter meeting of the Democratic National Committee in Washington on Saturday, Kamala Harris said: “The United States stands firmly with the Ukrainian people in defense of the NATO alliance.” Now, Ukraine is not actually in NATO, and so standing firmly with the Ukrainian people would not actually be an act in defense of the NATO alliance, and of all people, the person pretending to be vice president of the United States should know that. So...

Police could be sued for arresting baby killersBy Greg BurtSACRAMENTO, CA -- Gov. Gavin Newson's abortion council dropped a legislative bombshell. The group of policy makers intend not only to codify the killing of unborn children throughout all nine months of pregnancy but to decriminalize killing newborns days or weeks after birth. New language added to AB 2223 last week revealed the disturbing intent. The proposed legislation would shield a mother from civil and criminal charges for any “actions or omissions” related to her pregnancy, “including miscarriage, stillbirth, or abortion, or perinatal death.” Although definitions of "perinatal death" vary, all...

The terrorist ran over and murdered a cyclist and then continued to the 'Big Center' where he embarked on a stabbing campaign - in which he murdered three other passers-by. After walking around with a knife in his hand, the terrorist was shot and neutralized by civilians on the spot.

It’s a pump-and-dumps scheme. Four Florida men were busted for installing devices inside gas pumps that dropped prices down to nearly nothing — an alarming trend that officials said will only spread with fuel costs soaring. The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services said the suspects installed sophisticated “pulsators” inside pumps that regulate price and fuel flow. The devices sent per-gallon costs plunging down to just pennies and allowed pumpers to fill up almost for free. The fraudsters allegedly pulled off the scheme at two separate Circle K stations in Lakeland and Lutz. Rogelio Llerena and Yulier Garcia-Martinez were...
