It was time, they decided, to leave New York. “We considered Bronxville, and surrounding neighborhoods [in Westchester], but for what we wanted we would have had to spend well over $1.8 [million],” Charlotte, who makes more...

Martinez faced immense blowback after a recording was leaked over the weekend where she called a fellow council member’s young son, who is black, a “little monkey” and suggested the child needed a “beatdown” during an October 2021 conversation about proposed redistricting. “It is with a broken heart that I resign my seat for Council District 6, the community I grew up in and my home,” she said in a long statement.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson draws parallels between the ways Democrats have used Joe Biden, John Fetterman and Greta Thunberg in their quest for power on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight.' TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): He had a bad stroke and we feel bad about that. Everyone does. But because of that stroke, Fetterman now needs electronic assistance in order to communicate with other people. He can't talk on his own. It's not a right wing conspiracy theory. It's not QAnon! It's real.In fact, it's so real that his campaign concedes that it's real, that it's true.

The global debt market is orders of magnitude larger than the stock market, and debt instruments across the globe have nearly reached the breaking point due to the Fed’s steady increase in interest rates this year (combined with seemingly endless money printing and other disastrous fiscal policies). Because bond values have an inverse relationship with interest rates, as interest rates go up, the value of bonds and other debt instruments already issued goes down. With each Fed rate increase, bond values are cratering, leaving debt investors holding substantial losses and leading to a collapse in the number of potential buyers...

New York Mayor Eric Adams would have been the Democrats' runaway choice for president if only he'd kept his campaign promise and cut crime in the Big Apple. No mayoral candidate talked about "safety, safety, safety" more than he. As Adams told MSNBC during the campaign: "Public safety and justice is the prerequisite to prosperity. And I think that we have become too symbolic, instead of realistic, on how you keep cities safe. And it's time for the Democratic Party to understand this. America wants to be safe. And we can do it with justice at the same time." If...
