Overwhelmed city officials are struggling to provide a promised intake center and hotel rooms to migrants being shipped by the busload from Texas to the Big Apple, The Post has learned. The Department of Homeless Services acknowledged to The Post that it has abandoned its initial plan to operate an intake and processing center dedicated to the recent arrivals alongside a 600-room shelter at the ROW NYC hotel on Eighth Avenue in Midtown. Officials would only say Sunday that they have finally selected a finalist to operate the yet-to-open Manhattan facility but would not reveal the contractor’s name or its...

The radical left Women’s March is raging after what it described as a “baaad effin summer for American women,” previewing what it describes as a “Fall of Reckoning.” “Let’s be real: It’s been a baaad effin summer for American women. And we’re mad as hell,” the leftist organization said, urging women to join them for the “Fall of Reckoning.” The organization’s “nationwide week of action” takes place October 7-9, when activists plan to gather in D.C. and cities nationwide to march in protest of protecting the lives of the unborn:

Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky met with International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi on Tuesday, according to a press officer with Zelensky’s office. The meeting came as Ukraine and Russia continue to accuse each other of shelling the area around the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant ahead of a planned visit by a delegation of the IAEA, the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog, later in the week. Zelensky told Grossi that the IAEA’s mission in Ukraine is “urgent” and that Ukraine wants its team to do more than carry out an inspection at the plant. Zelensky said that he hoped...

@RepThomasMassie This is an ongoing crime perpetrated by our government. The shots that have been forced on the military by @SecDef were not FDA approved as is legally required for any compulsory vaccine. They’re not even really vaccinations in the absence of CDC’s redefinition of the word.

Russians citizens are frantically trying to flee Belgorod after multiple airstrikes rocked the city with giant fireballs seen high in the sky. Belgorod is 25 miles from the Ukrainian border and long queues could be seen where hundreds of Russian citizens some with suitcases were trying to flee on trains at the railway station. Vladimir Putin has been called “an idiot” and the history books will remember him for “the demise of Russia.” “The population is frantically trying to flee to inland Russia after multiple reported strikes. “Putin is an idiot. History books will place the responsibility for the demise...

President Joe Biden’s approval rating is underwater in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, two states the president plans to visit on Labor Day to boost the Democrats’ midterm hopes.

Ron Johnson (R-WI) by 2 points.

Any bets on him winning? 🙂

A vegan mother in Florida was sentenced to life in prison following a first-degree murder conviction for the death of her 18-month-old son. Sheila O'Leary, 38, was convicted in June after her son Ezra died from what prosecutors said were "complications from severe malnutrition and dehydration." "This child did not eat. He was starved to death over 18 months," Francine Donnorummo, the special victims unit chief at the Lee County State Attorney’s Office, said at the trial. Her husband, Ryan Patrick O’Leary, awaits trial on the same charges. Sheila and Ryan were both indicted by a grand jury in Lee...

President Joe Biden lashed out at Republicans who have embraced the MAGA philosophy saying they’re semi-fascists. I don’t think Biden understands what MAGA means. It’s all about putting America first and making the US the most powerful nation on Earth, both economically and militarily. Some examples include taking control of our southern border, making America energy independent, and building our military so we can take out ISIS or any other threat. It also means reducing business regulations so companies are free to run their enterprises without government interference. The result is American companies that are more competitive internationally and at...

That’s the warning from Colorado’s top election official. In an interview with The Guardian published Sunday, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold argued that loyalists to former President Donald Trump could destroy American Democracy — should they win office this fall. “What we can expect from the extreme Republicans running across this country is to undermine free and fair elections for the American people, strip Americans of the right to vote, refuse to address security breaches and, unfortunately, be more beholden to Mar-a-Lago than the American people,” Griswold said. Should Democrats not prevail in the upcoming midterms, “the country could...

Former President Donald Trump has insisted that he immediately be re-installed as president or that a new election be called. His reasoning? A Mark Zuckerberg interview in which the Facebook founder reiterated his previous claim that the FBI warned him of a potential dump of Russian misinformation weeks before the 2020 general election that Trump lost to President Joe Biden. Yes, the former president really did demand he be reinstated as president 664 days after losing the election. By any objective measure, it’s nuts. Batshit crazy. Trump first made the bizarre demand on his fledgling social media platform Monday at...

TWENTY-SECOND WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME LUKE 4:31–37 Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus teaches in the synagogue at Capernaum. One of the things that he comes to do is to teach, for at the root of our troubles and our suffering is a powerful clouding of the mind. What is it like to be in the same room with Jesus? The people "were astonished at his teaching because he spoke with authority." "Astonished" is a pretty strong word. But we have to understand the tenor of the time. When a Jewish rabbi would speak, he would reference his teacher—another rabbi—who in...

Unlike Christ, the government and universities are not suffering and giving up for the sake of the guilty party. They’re the ones profiting.On the issue of student loan reform, I am an equal opportunity extremist. On the one hand, I think academia is largely a giant con run by communist vultures who prey upon financially illiterate students in order to create worthless administrative jobs. For this crime, we should cancel existing student debts by raiding the endowments of those universities. Then we should ban student loans, defund public universities, and roast marshmallows over the burning contracts of every dean of...
