As students file back into classrooms and march onto athletic fields this fall, K-12 schools in blue states across the nation continue to violate President Donald Trump’s executive orders halting the dangerous trans agenda in schools. If anyone in America still doubts how insidious this reality-denying movement is, they should look to Annunciation Catholic Church School in Minneapolis where trans-identified male gunman Robin (formerly Robert) Westman mowed down innocent schoolchildren in a hail of bullets on Wednesday, killing two (ages 8 and 10) and injuring 17 others before cowardly taking his own life. Nor is Westman the first transgender criminal...

The North Carolina Department of Adult Correction is actively searching for Nikia Monique Thompson, the fugitive daughter of New York Attorney General Letitia James’s niece. Thompson, listed as an “Absconder” (offender number 0898340) on the department’s official site, is wanted for violating probation terms. North Carolina authorities are urging anyone with knowledge of her whereabouts to call their tip line at 1-888-646-0024. Where is Nikia Monique Thompson hiding? All indications, including from Letitia James herself, are that Thompson is hiding out at Letitia’s “mortgage fraud” home in Norfolk, Virgina. This means that Letitia James herself could be charged with harboring...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez trumpeted on social media how she successfully pushed to have dozens of new trash cans placed on Roosevelt Avenue in Queens. Problem is, she ignored the real trash. She was immediately mocked for ignoring the parade of johns, pimps and prostitutes flooding the avenue’s infamous “Market of Sweethearts.” “Celebrating garbage cans is like putting sprinkles on s--- and calling it a birthday cake,” lambasted Elmhurst’s Ramses Frias, who’s running as a Republican candidate for City Council in Queens’ 25th District. “It’s all for show.” “Of course, AOC won’t speak about what’s really happening here so she can...

A top chief executive has been accused of snatching a child tennis fan's hat at the US Open - with his firm now facing negative online reviews. Viral video footage revealed the moments after Polish player Kamil Majchrzak went to the crowd after the biggest win of his career. The 29-year-old defeated ninth seed Karen Khachanov in a marathon five-set thriller on Thursday - and then was filmed removing his cap and trying to hand it to a child in the crowd on Court 11. But in ugly scenes, a man standing next to the boy reached out, grabbed the...

The president and CEO of the 9/11 Memorial & Museum offered a tone-deaf defense of the nonprofit’s extravagant executive salaries this week, as The Post’s Page 1 expose stirred outrage that officials are exploiting the city’s greatest disaster. “Our executive compensation lags well behind that of peer institutions,” Elizabeth Hillman said in an email sent to the foundation’s trustees on Monday, adding that “recent compensation studies have supported adjustments across the organization.” But in the email, obtained by The Post, Hillman did not name any other institutions or cite specific compensation studies. Neither she nor the September 11 National Memorial...

You can’t make this up. On Friday morning, embattled Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, recently fired by President Trump over allegations of fraud and misconduct, appeared in federal court to challenge her dismissal. The case was heard by none other than Judge Jia Cobb, a radical Biden-appointed judge already notorious for shamelessly blocking Trump’s lawful mass deportation orders. .... Snip.... Roger Stone @RogerJStoneJr Yeah I'm certain that it's just a coincidence that the Clerk of the DC court just happened to send fired Federal Reserve Board Member Lisa Cook's lawsuit to the Federal District judge who was Cook's sorority sister.

A teenage girl and her boyfriend had their lives turned upside down when they became victims of a horrific cyberbullying attack, but things only got worse when they discovered the perpetrator. Lauryn Licari and her former boyfriend, Owen McKenny, were 13-year-old high school students in Beal City, Michigan, when they became the targets of vitriolic harassment from an anonymous number in October 2020. The pair first met in seventh grade, when Lauryn was 12. Thanks to their shared interests in sports, among other things, they hit it off. Their families supported the relationship, and Lauryn's mother, Kendra Licari, became close...

When President Trump deployed National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., condemnation from Democrats was swift and withering. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D - NY) declared, “No f‑‑‑ing way” would he agree to extending the deployment beyond 30 days, saying. “We’ll fight him tooth and nail.” After Mayor Muriel Bowser said, “The fact that we have more law enforcement and presence in neighborhoods, that may be positive,” she reverted to the official Democrat Party line, telling community leaders they need to “protect our city and to protect our autonomy, to protect our Home Rule, and get to the other side...

Following the shooting incident by a trans man in a church in Minneapolis, many people are trying to ignore that the shooter was trans. But he wanted to make clear that those who read his manifesto would know that he regretted his decision to transition:He wrote that he only kept his long hair because it would be an ‘embarrassing defeat’ to cut it, according to a translation by the New York Post. ‘I only keep [the long hair] because it is pretty much my last shred of being trans. I am tired of being trans, I wish I never brain-washed...

Growing up in the 1960s, I spent many pleasant hours reading comic books — mostly Superman and related characters. There was an odd group of characters called the “Bizarros” in that series. These were monstrous duplicates of individuals from the universe inhabited by Superman and his cohorts. Their defining characteristic, besides their hideous appearance, was that they did everything backwards: Good was bad, ugly was beautiful, and so on.Such is the case with today’s Democrat (they’re not democratic) party. Much has been written on their being on the wrong side of every 80/20 issue. I have previously noted here that...

WASHINGTON — Online rumors of President Trump’s demise were greatly exaggerated — much to the dismay of creepy leftist critics. The president took a brief hiatus from public appearances this week, sparking morbid theories and social media posts speculating he had died. But the haters had their hopes dashed Saturday morning when Trump appeared alive and well at the White House. Trump was photographed in a white polo, black pants and his signature red MAGA hat about 8:45 a.m. , appearing alongside his granddaughter, Kai Trump, as they loaded up in a vehicle headed for his golf club in Sterling,...

The software company founded by billionaire Peter Thiel has enabled his buddy, President Donald Trump, to conduct hardcore AI lawfare beyond its previous bounds. Those bounds appear to now include the Federal Reserve Board after Trump told its Governor Lisa Cook she was fired earlier this week. The hit was achieved with - snip - Bill Pulte, who seized a chance to make a mark for himself when President Trump appointed him to the usually low-profile position of director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). Pulte took his first big step toward becoming his own man back in May,...

It was 230 years ago Sunday that Robert Carter III, the patriarch of one of the wealthiest families in Virginia, quietly walked into a Northumberland County courthouse and delivered an airtight legal document announcing his intention to free, or manumit, more than 500 slaves. He titled it the “deed of gift.” It was, by far, experts say, the largest liberation of Black people before President Abraham Lincoln signed the District of Columbia Emancipation Act and Emancipation Proclamation more than seven decades later. On September 5, 1791, when Carter delivered his deed, slavery was an institution, a key engine of the...

One of the judges that threw a lifeline to Sir Keir Starmer by ruling that asylum seekers can stay at the Bell Hotel in Epping is a Labour activist, it has emerged. Lord Justice Bean, who delivered the ruling today, is a member of the the Society for Labour Laywers. He led a panel that decided a temporary injunction preventing asylum seekers being housed at the Bell Hotel in Epping will be overturned. It meant the Home Office and Somani Hotels, which owns the Bell Hotel in Epping, Essex, have successfully challenged a High Court ruling that would have forced...

The short answer is: NO. The real answer is: It's slowly losing value.

Palestinian activists are huddling this weekend to devise the "next phase" of their protestsRadical Palestinians are planning and moving again on multiple fronts, raising the question: will we experience a violent fall semester on college campuses, in workplaces, in our places of worship and on our streets? The answer appears to be yes.On this Labor Day weekend, the nation’s top Palestinian and pro-Hamas strategists are gathering in Detroit, Michigan. We should pay attention as they plan for what they call the “next phase” of their campaign against Israel and against Jews. We saw a glimmering of this incipient uptick over...

They finally got him — but forgive me if I’m not popping the bubbly. The monster who randomly sucker-punched me in the gut while I was walking to work two years ago was arrested on Aug. 18 — and given an insulting $1 bail by infamously soft-on-crime Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg. Luckily, he’s behind bars on Rikers Island — because he allegedly tried to sell drugs to an undercover cop just before he was collared. That case was given to Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget Brennan and bail was set at $200,000. Kamieo Caines, 36, a violent recidivist with 20 prior...

An angry mob set fire to a local parliament building in an Indonesian provincial capital, leaving at least three people dead and five others hospitalized, officials said. The blaze in Makassar, the capital city of South Sulawesi province, began late Friday. Television reports showed the provincial council building ablaze overnight, causing the area to turn an eerie orange color. Rescuers retrieved three bodies by Saturday morning, while five people were hospitalized with burns or with broken bones after jumping from the building, said Fadli Tahar, a local disaster official. Protesters in West Java's Bandung city also set a regional parliament...

You’ve heard the problems. A $2 million interceptor to shoot down a $2,000 drone. U.S. anti-ship missiles expected to run out on day eight of any war over Taiwan. If Ukraine teaches anything, it is that a stockpile of existing weapons is less important than a manufacturing base—the ability to produce lots more weapons fast, and to adapt them and innovate on the fly.

The mother of transgender Minneapolis mass shooter Robin Westman once appeared in a movie made by her daughter — who she gave up for adoption as a child, a report revealed. Mary Grace Westman, 67, starred in the short film “Mary Meets Grace,” written and directed by her biological daughter, Faryl Amadeus, 44, who was adopted as a child from Kentucky, the Daily Mail reported. Faryl Amadeus, 44, is the filmmaker daughter of Mary Grace Westman, the mother of transgender mass shooter Robin Westman.In 2005, Amadeus traveled to Minnesota to meet her ‘five half-siblings,’ which would include a then 3-year-old...
