NYPD cops will be forced to report on even their most minor interactions with the public after the City Council on Tuesday overwhelmingly rejected Mayor Eric Adams’ veto of the “How Many Stops Act’’ — which he and other critics argued would threaten public safety. Adams, who fought the bill tooth-and-nail in recent weeks, failed to sway the two councilmembers he needed to beat the override — which passed with a bruising 42-9 vote. The Democrat-led council also voted to override Adams’ veto of another bill banning solitary confinement in Big Apple jails. “These bills will make New Yorkers less...

The Formula One racing franchise has filed for trademarks indicating it could be seeking a race in Chicago, less than a year after NASCAR held its first street race in Grant Park. F1 applied for variations of the trademark “Formula 1 Chicago Grand Prix” and “Grand Prix Chicago” on Jan. 19, according to U.S. patent office records. Filing trademarks could be a protective measure. But it could also show the franchise is considering a Chicago race. There is some indication the city has held initial talks with F1 about a possible Chicago race, downtown Ald. Brian Hopkins (2nd) says. “I’m...

A recent episode of crime drama "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" went viral after a White rape victim resisted testifying against her attacker because she's concerned he wouldn't get a fair trial due to his race. In the January 25 episode "Truth Embargo," the character Natalie, played by actress Romina D'Ugo, is raped in a dressing room during a smash and grab robbery of a clothing store. At the hospital, Natalie denies seeing her rapist's face, despite video camera footage showing the man removing his mask before entering the dressing room.

The Government is considering whether to charter flights in order to remove those who have failed in their asylum applications. The Office of Government Procurement has posted a tender on the eTenders website seeking information on the potential availability of such services. It is not yet at the stage of issuing a tender. Charter flights have been used in the past to deport failed asylum applicants, but have not been used in recent years. It comes as Algeria and Botswana are to be added to Ireland’s list of “safe countries”, under a plan brought to the Cabinet by the Minister...

The White House, corporate media, and even Senate Republicans claim Democrats’ open-border amnesty bill, which does more to secure Ukraine than the U.S., is the only way to successfully curb the influx of more than 10 million illegal border crossers. The real power to end the record-breaking Southern border crisis, however, lies with President Joe Biden, who previously used his executive authority to undo all of his predecessor’s border safeguards. He simply isn’t wielding it.“Have you done everything you can do with executive authority [on the border]?” a reporter asked the president on the White House lawn on Tuesday. “I’ve...

A “peaceful” pro-life father of 11 who was prosecuted by President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice for praying and singing hymns in the hallway of a Tennessee abortion facility was found guilty on Tuesday by a federal jury in Nashville.Paul Vaughn is one of five pro-lifers who were charged with felonies for allegedly violating the unconstitutional Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act and engaging in a “conspiracy against rights.” Following the verdict, he joined his fellow defendants in singing hymns outside of the Fred D. Thompson federal courthouse. Vaughn’s attorney at the Thomas More Society signaled they would...

A migrant accused of brutally stabbing a fellow asylum seeker to death New York tent shelter allegedly asked security guards to let him “finish the job” in coldblooded comments after the attack, prosecutors said at his arraignment on Tuesday. Moises Coronado, 27, allegedly told security guards at the Randall’s Island shelter that he stabbed Dafren Canizalez, 35, multiple times because “he needed to get revenge,” prosecutor Pierre Griffith told a New York Jury. Coronado “made statements indicating that he was not a punk and that because the deceased had punched him earlier he needed to get revenge and he even...

Amid vows of retaliation over a drone strike that killed three in Jordan, Americans are furious to find out that President Joe Biden has no plans to attend the soldiers' ceremonies - with the president announcing hours later that he will attend after all. Sgt. William Rivers, 46, Spc. Brianna Moffatt, 23, and Spc. Kennedy Ladon Sanders, 24, all from Georgia, were killed when U.S. forces "may have mistaken" an enemy drone for an American one and let it pass unchallenged into a desert base in Jordan on Sunday. The drone killed three U.S. troops and wounded dozens more. The...

The U.S. is sending additional air defenses to the base in northeast Jordan where three American soldiers were killed in a drone attack on Sunday, according to a U.S. official. The outpost that was hit had not been the target of previous attacks and thus its air defenses were not as strong as U.S. bases in Iraq and Syria that have been under constant threat of attack since October, the official said. The air defense system heading to the outpost is designed to intercept drones. About 350 U.S. Army and Air Force personnel are stationed at the outpost, known as...

JN. 1, a highly contagious off-shoot of the Omicron strain, now makes up around 86 percent of COVID cases in the United States after accounting for less than 5 percent of infections nationally in early November, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports. It's also the most dominant across the globe. JN.1 cases in the US have doubled over the last month. In late December, it caused 44 percent of cases in the US, after making up around 22 percent of infections in the middle of December. That's around the time the World Health Organization (WHO) declared JN.1...

U.S. — According to sources, the nation still has a faint, distant memory of some obscure rule where the President couldn't just declare war whenever he wanted on anyone he wanted. "Yeah, I feel like that was a thing," said one local woman to reporters. "It was, like, in some sort of document they wrote that had rules in it. I'm pretty sure it said the President can't unilaterally dictate that the nation is going to war, right? What was that rule called?" "Ugh, I can't remember." Political experts point to Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 of the U.S....

Conservatives are losing the "don't be weirdos" contest. One of the main stories of American politics of the last few decades is the wealthy and educated shifting away from the Republican Party and towards the Democrats. Conservative losses among the upper classes have not been balanced out by gains elsewhere. Republicans have lost the popular vote in 7 of the last 8 presidential elections, showing themselves to be broadly unappealing to most Americans while nonetheless staying competitive due to the unusual quirk of us picking our head of state through the electoral college, which gives disproportionate power to rural areas....

Shocking video captured the moment a migrant mob pounded a pair of cops near Times Square over the weekend — but the busted cowardly suspects were still released back on the street without bail, sources say. The footage shows an NYPD officer and lieutenant initially telling the migrants to move along around 8:30 p.m. Saturday on West 42nd Street in Manhattan — before things quickly get rowdy as a scuffle breaks out between the cops and a suspect who is wrestled to the ground. That’s when the rest of the punks converge on the officers, raining kicks to the head...

On this anniversary date of King Charles I’s beheading, the two-years-dead corpse of the late Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell was hung in chains at Tyburn and then beheaded, along with the bodies of John Bradshaw and Henry Ireton. The great-great-grandnephew of ruthless Tudor pol Thomas Cromwell rose higher than any English commoner, high enough to be offered the very crown he had struck off at Whitehall. Oliver Cromwell declined it in sweeping Puritan rhetoric just as if he hadn’t spent weeks agonizing over whether to take it. “I would not seek to set up that which Providence hath destroyed and...
