Somewhere last night in New York City, a single mother and her children slept at a homeless shelter because you, assemblyman @ZohranKMamdani are occupying her rent controlled apartment. You grew up rich and married an even wealthier woman. You’ve had weddings on 3 continents. You own property in LGTBQIA+ murderous Uganda. You make $142,000 a year plus stipends, and your wife works too, meaning you together likely make well over $200,000. No matter which way you cut it: Zohran Mamdani is a rich person. You are actually very rich. Yet you and your wife pay $2,300 a month, as you...

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled 2-1 Friday that U.S. District Judge James Boasberg cannot move forward with possible contempt proceedings against the Trump administration. The case involves the administration’s alleged violation of an emergency court order blocking the administration from using a 1798 law to summarily deport hundreds of Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador — the latest in an evolving, high-stakes court clash that has played out for months in various courts. Judges Gregory Katsas and Neomi Rao, two Trump appointees on the majority-Democrat bench, sided with the Trump administration Friday in blocking Boasberg’s contempt...

@RepThomasMassie It happened again. The House and Senate convened briefly today in empty chambers to block @realDonaldTrump from making recess appointments.

Every statement a liberal makes comes under at least one of these three rules, the Liberal Rules of Truth: 1. Truth is whatever serve the party. 2. If you repeat something enough, that makes it true. 3. If the facts contradict the narrative, the facts lie.

JD Vance has said he does not want the UK to go down a "very dark path" of losing free speech during a meeting with the foreign secretary at his country estate. The US vice president has previously raised concerns that free speech is being eroded in the UK. However, during a two-day visit to David Lammy's grace and favour 115-room mansion, Chevening House in Kent, Mr Vance kept his criticism a bit more low key. Asked about free speech in the UK during a televised meeting of the two men, Mr Vance said he has "raised concerns" about free...

The family of a Newbury homicide victim is calling on Vermont officials to do more when it comes to protecting communities from those who suffer from mental illness and commit a crime. It comes after James Perry Jr. -- who admitted killing his own daughter in 2021 -- was found not guilty earlier this summer by reason of insanity. The Orange County Courthouse in Chelsea was packed Friday as loved ones of Karina Rheaume expressed their grief to the court over her tragic death at the hands of her own father. “The process never ends. Every hearing, every update re-traumatizes...

Restorative Justice is a state-funded program that helps people who commit crimes avoid jail time, fines and criminal records. Our Laura Ullman investigates how the program works and whether it’s successful. “I’ve lost a lot of trust, burned a lot of bridges and I can only pray over time that people can see change in me,” said Travis Merritt, a Restorative Justice client. Merritt went through the Restorative Justice program that gives people a second shot at freedom. Some 4,272 offenders were sent to Restorative Justice in 2023, the latest number on record. About 28,000 crimes are reported in Vermont...

A former host of The View thinks the daytime opinion program could soon be taken off the air. Rosie O'Donnell made the remarks in a pointed post to TikTok Wednesday where she said ABC was 'reviewing the [show's] liberal bias'. Days before, a Media Research Center study found the show had welcomed 102 liberal-leaning guests so far this year and not a single conservative. The results pertained only to guests who discussed politics. O’Donnell, in turn, claimed 'The View' does not have any bias, but that the 'review' was 'code' for the show's cancellation. She claimed her old network was...

Former CEO of the LGTBQ+ Real Estate Alliance, Ryan Anthony Weyandt, has been charged with 5 counts of possessing CSAM material (child porn). In an investigation late last year, charges allege that Weyandt, 39, of Apple Valley, MN, downloaded thousands of child sexual abuse images containing minor males. Court documents state Weyandt told investigators, “I have an issue,” and blamed it on drugs. Weyandt was charged and arrested two weeks ago, but he is out of custody on $150,000 bond.

In the charred aftermath of Malibu’s January wildfires, one buyer has been moving in silence. While much of La Costa Beach remains a barren stretch of sand, a foreign investor has quietly acquired nine oceanfront lots — spending more than $65 million to secure some of the most coveted parcels along the Pacific Coast Highway, according to Realtor.com. Working through luxury agents Weston Littlefield and Alex Howe of the Weston James Group, the buyer is targeting properties with at least 40 feet of frontage, betting that once the coastline is rebuilt, demand from wealthy buyers will return in force. ......

CONNECTICUT — Gov. Ned Lamont signed a new gun control bill into law that places the marketers of firearms clearly in the crosshairs."This law is just one more step as we try and make sure that it's not just Connecticut law enforcement doing all the enforcing; we hold the manufacturers and sales people accountable as well," Lamont told reporters on shortly after the bill's signing Thursday.And it's the manufacturers and resellers who are the target. Effective Oct. 1, both groups will be vulnerable to lawsuits if they fail to implement "reasonable controls."

The New Mexico Senate President Pro Tempore is facing potential sanctions after someone filed a complaint, accusing her of harassment. In late-February, a legislative council service staff member said she emailed state Sen. Mimi Stewart regarding a form she hadn’t received for Stewart’s capital outlay funding requests. “In response, the reporting party stated that she almost immediately received what she deemed a screaming email in all capital letters from senator Stewart saying that senator Stewart had in fact turned the sheet in on Wednesday,’” said Lorna Wiggins, special counsel to the Investigative Subcommittee. It reportedly didn’t end there. “Moments later,...

Asha, the endangered Mexican gray wolf known to wander in New Mexico, was released into the wild with her mate and puppies Thursday. The day is a long time coming for officials who kept Asha captive within a designated recovery zone, spanning New Mexico and Arizona, so she could mate and expand the population. Then, Asha ventured out of the area twice – in late-2022 and 2023. Advocates say this indicated the species is ready to roam beyond their zone. Asha eventually stayed in the area long enough to give birth to five puppies in mid-May. After this, managers said...

The appointment of Lip‑Bu Tan as Intel’s CEO has prompted U.S. Senator Tom Cotton to scrutinize his past business ties to Chinese tech firms—and whether those connections threaten Intel’s role in American defense-linked supply chains. Intel is actively involved in the federal Secure Enclave initiative, which aims to secure microelectronics for U.S. defense use, and holds a roughly $3 billion contract with the Department of Defense. Cotton’s letter asks whether Tan’s investment history could compromise Intel’s obligations under such programs. A Reuters investigation in April revealed that Tan invested at least $200 million in over 600 Chinese firms through his...

Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, is introducing "Holly’s Act" after a woman was violently attacked by a mob in Cincinnati late last month – a move aimed at ending what he calls the justice system’s revolving door for repeat offenders. The attack happened around 3 a.m. on July 26 at the intersection of Fourth and Elm streets in Cincinnati’s central business district. Bystander video captured the moment a large group turned on several individuals early that morning, and in one video obtained by Fox News Digital, an unidentified man could be heard yelling racial slurs while being beaten in the street....
