Trump winning (stealing) the next Presidential election and ending democracy and civil rights in the United States, it is more important than ever that we elect progressive, dynamic leaders to the New York State Senate and New York State Assembly. 1.

Chicago’s self-professed “progressive” Mayor Brandon Johnson is demanding a “ceasefire” in the action between Israel and Hamas terrorists, even as his city remains awash in gang violence. Johnson spoke out on Wednesday as the city council debated a formal resolution condemning Israel for its efforts to root out and destroy the terror group responsible for the raid into Southern Israel that ended in more than a thousand dead Israeli civilians and more than 230 kidnapped citizens. More than 130 still remain in captivity at the hands of Hamas and several other terror groups. During his comments on Jan. 24, Johnson...

CBS Boston BOSTON - Gov. Maura Healey unveiled her $56 billion budget proposal on Wednesday, with plans to improve education and transportation, plus funds to tackle the ongoing migrant crisis.

Two owners of an iconic Philly cheesesteak shop were sentenced to prison for tax fraud Thursday. Nicholas Lucidonio, 57, and Anthony Lucidonio Sr., 84, who owned and operated Tony Luke’s, a cheesesteak restaurant in South Philadelphia, have both been sentenced to 20 months in prison for “their decade-long conspiracy to defraud the IRS,” according to a press release from the Department of Justice (DOJ). The Lucidonios hid more than $8 million in cash receipts from the IRS from 2006 to 2016, according to the release. They did so by “among other things, depositing only a portion of the cash they...

A group of transgender veterans has sued the Department of Veteran Affairs to make them provide and pay for sex-change surgeries on the taxpayer's dime. The Transgender American Veterans Association (TAVA) wants VA Secretary Denis McDonough to come good on pledges to offer sex-reassignment procedures to former service members. The campaigners say they are 'essential and lifesaving medical care' for a suicide-prone group that suffers from high rates of depression and psychological distress. TAVA counts some 163,000 trans veterans. The suit could open the door to tens of thousands of claims for taxpayer-funded ops that cost more than $100,000 for...

he Fulton County District Attorney’s office on Thursday admitted it received two letters from Joe Biden’s White House Counsel amid its Trump witch hunt. This is clear evidence that Joe Biden’s White House is coordinating with Fani Willis’s office. The admission was made during a hearing for former DOJ official Jeffrey Clark. Jeffrey Clark served as the Department of Justice Assistant Attorney General under Trump and was under consideration to be Trump’s Attorney General. In August Fani Willis hit President Trump and 18 others with RICO and conspiracy charges for daring to challenge the 2020 election. (image) Fani Willis criminalized...

The White House announced Wednesday that Kate Cox, a woman at the center of a contentious abortion case in Texas, has accepted an invitation to attend President Joe Biden’s State of the Union after he pledged to put abortion at the center of his 2024 campaign. Cox is in the middle of a lawsuit against the state of Texas, challenging a state law preventing her from aborting her 20-week-old child, whom she claimed had Trisomy 18, a medical condition that causes structural abnormalities. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters during a press briefing that the president and First...

Republican Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy stumped judicial nominee Robin M. Meriweather on Wednesday with a question about how the Court of Federal Claims works. President Joe Biden nominated Meriweather to be a judge on the Court of Federal Claims in early January. Kennedy first began his line of questioning by asking how many motions Meriweather has argued in the court of federal claims. Meriweather said she’s argued “hundreds of motions involving complex civil claims in numerous courts, the court of federal claims is not one of those courts.” “Okay, so the answer is zero?” Kennedy asked. “That is correct, senator.”...

It’s not necessarily what President Joe Biden said on social media this week; it’s what he didn’t say that is telling. On Monday, the American people were informed that two Navy SEALs lost their lives in service to our country. Photos of Navy SEALs Christopher J. Chambers and Nathan Gage Ingram were shared hundreds of thousands of times on X by Americans who called the men “heroes” and thanked them for their service. But the commander-in-chief of America’s armed forces was silent about deaths of the two SEALs on America’s modern public square X, formerly Twitter. Instead of acknowledging the...

The Canadian Government used disinformation in the form of faked intelligence to frame the Freedom Convoy anti-vaccine-mandate protesters as violent extremists and justify invoking the Emergencies Act, an investigation by Public has found. Here’s an excerpt. A months-long Public investigation reveals that the Canadian Government used disinformation to crack down on the ‘Freedom Convoy’ protest, led by truckers demanding an end to COVID-19 vaccine mandates, in February 2022. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), Canada’s national police force, then promoted this false information to other ‘Five Eyes’ English-speaking nations. This discovery is significant because it contributes to a pattern of...

The mayor of New York City has officially declared social media an 'environmental toxin' and 'public health hazard' in the same category as tobacco and guns. In an advisory released Wednesday, Mayor Eric Adams criticized TikTok, YouTube and Facebook, blaming them for the mental health crisis plaguing tens of millions of children in the US — with rates of teen depression hitting their highest levels in a decade in the latest surveys. In the declaration, city officials called on parents to impose 'tech-free times' for children and urged teens to consider turning off their notifications and tracking their emotions while...

Donald Trump on Thursday joined a push to disqualify District Attorney Fani Willis from prosecuting Fulton County’s election interference case, saying her defiant remarks at a historic Black church showed “racial animus” toward the former president and his co-defendants. In a court filing, Trump’s two top Atlanta attorneys accused Willis, who is Black, of a “glaring, flagrant, and calculated effort to foment racial bias into this case.” That could unfairly prejudice a jury, they said, and violated Georgia’s rules of professional conduct. Trump’s lawyers Steve Sadow and Jennifer Little weighed in a little more than two weeks after explosive allegations...

Murphy, a grandfather who grew up in Texas, was in Sacramento, California when two armed men stormed into the Sunglass Hut on West Gray in Houston. uring the investigation, officers received a call from Anthony Pfleger, the head of loss prevention for EssilorLuxottica. Pfleger said he worked with Macy’s loss prevention to determine that the person who robbed the store was Murphy. 'Using artificial intelligence and facial recognition software, EssilorLuxottica and Macy’s took the video from the robbery and determined that Murphy was the robber,' the lawsuit states. 'The video was recorded by Kimco’s poor low-quality cameras.'

New York CNN — Pornographic, AI-generated images of the world’s most famous star spread across social media this week, underscoring the damaging potential posed by mainstream artificial intelligence technology: its ability to create convincingly real and damaging images. The fake images of Taylor Swift were predominantly circulating on social media site X, previously known as Twitter. The photos – which show the singer in sexually suggestive and explicit positions – were viewed tens of millions of times before being removed from social platforms. But nothing on the internet is truly gone forever, and they will undoubtedly continue to be shared...

An attorney for ex-DOJ official Jeffrey Clark made his case for access to communications between Fulton County prosecutors and the White House counsel's office on Thursday, claiming that the Georgia election interference case against his client was brought with "political purpose." Harry MacDougald, Clark's lawyer, said he needed access to those communications because, he alleged, the Biden White House "has its fingerprints on all four criminal prosecutions of President Trump," and Clark needs the documents to build a case for dismissal on the grounds of selective prosecution. Clark is accused by the DA of making false statements to senior Justice...

I have met 2 people who swear they were at Woodstock. I had no reason not to believe them.

Donald Trump has demanded Fani Willis be disqualified from his Georgia election fraud case after she 'injected race' into the case, and called for the charges against him be dropped. The former president's co-defendant Michael Roman alleged in court filings that Willis had an inappropriate relationship with Nathan Wade, the lawyer she hired to help run the criminal case. The bombshell court document has led to a flurry of allegations, including Wade buying flights and cruises for Willis as they carried on their fling. The scandal centered around Wade's divorce from his wife of 26 years has thrown the case...
