“Lebanese Hizbullah Outlet Celebrates Zohran Mamdani's Potential Win Of NYC Mayoral Race, Noting That It Propels Him To Become 'Member of U.S. Congress, Vice-Presidential Candidate, Secretary Of State, Justice, Or Homeland Security. Discussing the possible implications of Mamdani winning, the article argued that the position of New York City Mayor is considered "the second most powerful local office in the U.S., after the governor of California. From this role, Mamdani could build significant public and media influence, potentially propelling him to: Member of U.S. Congress, potential vice-presidential candidate, Secretary of State, Justice, or Homeland Security."

New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani was repeatedly pressed by NBC News host Kristen Welker on Sunday about why he doesn't want to condemn the phrase, "globalize the intifada," insisting that he didn't want to "police language." "I want to ask you about an issue that has divided New Yorkers in recent weeks. You were recently asked about the term 'globalize the intifada,' if it makes you uncomfortable. In that moment, you did not condemn the phrase. Now, just so folks understand, it is a phrase that many people hear as a call to violence against Jews," Welker said....

In addition to fighting Israel, Iranian authorities are also waging war against suspected spies and infiltrators, asking citizens to report anyone they consider suspicious. This includes alerting authorities if they see people wearing sunglasses at night, wearing hats, reporting stolen license plates, seeing pick-up trucks with covered beds, or observing vans being driven about during odd hours, which the regime says could be signs of undercover enemies to the nation.. In the weeks since Israel launched its attacks on Iran earlier this month, Iran has arrested hundreds of people, who are quickly tried and often executed. The regime has also...

"This violent mutiny did not emerge in a vacuum; it is directly tied to the hopeless bloodbath unfolding near the Kupiansk front, specifically at the Pischane funnel. For months, Russian forces have tried and failed to break through Ukrainian defenses here. The Ukrainians have created a deadly trap by controlling the flanks, exposing any Russian assault to relentless drone and artillery fire from both sides. Yet commanders continue to send wave after wave of infantry into the funnel, hoping to drive a wedge through Ukrainian lines. Every new wave knows exactly how it will end, as almost no one from...

The Jerusalem District Court agreed to postpone Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s corruption trial — just hours after President Trump called for the case to be dropped while suggesting American aid could hang in the balance over the decision. The court revealed Sunday that Netanyahu will not have to testify for the next two weeks due to diplomatic and national security issues, two days after the judge initially rejected the premier’s repeated requests to have the trial delayed. The new order came after Trump took to Truth Social and slammed the corruption trial — which sees Netanyahu accused of bribery,...

Russia launched its biggest aerial attack against Ukraine overnight, a Ukrainian official said Sunday, part of an escalating bombing campaign that has further dashed hopes for a breakthrough in efforts to end the 3-year-old war. Russia fired a total of 537 aerial weapons at Ukraine, including 477 drones and decoys and 60 missiles, Ukraine’s air force said.

Public Servant Gavin Newsom’s rise in California politics and acquired power since the 1990s has been through the knavery of family and influential friends. If you ever doubted that politics is made up of the elite class who see themselves as the ruling class, but want the taxpayers to pay for everything, doubt no more: Governor Gavin Newsom and the “First Partner” (his wife) acquired a $9.1 million home in Marin County, I reported in November 2024. It’s time to revisit this issue because we still don’t have any answers on this home acquisition, or the $3.7 million Fair Oaks...
