Zohran Mamdani’s victory speech in the New York mayoral race was carried live on Israeli television and radio, a sign of the deep concern in the Jewish state about the next leader of the city with the world’s largest population of Jews. “The Big Apple has fallen,” Avigdor Liberman, the leader of a right-wing opposition party and former foreign minister, said through a spokesman. He urged “New York Jews who want to survive” to emigrate “to where they belong — the land of Israel.” Danny Danon, the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, was more sober, vowing in a post...

Join us as we examine the executives whose poor decisions, ethical lapses, and outright fraud transformed thriving companies into cautionary tales. Which corporate collapse shocked you the most? Our countdown includes Elizabeth Holmes' non-existent blood testing technology at Theranos, Adam Neumann's lavish spending at WeWork, Jeffrey Skilling and Kenneth Lay's accounting fraud at Enron, Martin Winterkorn's emissions scandal at Volkswagen, and John Sculley's disastrous tenure after ousting Steve Jobs from Apple. Did we miss...

Former US Vice President Dick Cheney “just loved Israel,” recalls Michael Oren, past Israeli ambassador to Washington. Oren was in the room as an Israeli reservist in the 1991 Gulf War when Cheney, then defense secretary, and his counterpart Moshe Arens met to discuss the response to Iraqi Scud missile attacks on Israeli cities. He was the Israeli notetaker, as Cheney sought to convince Israel not to respond. “The Israeli government was telling the administration that we couldn’t wait anymore, that the paratroopers were out on the runway ready to go to western Iraq,” says Oren. Cheney feared that the...

New York City has elected a democratic socialist as its next mayor. Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani won with a progressive platform focused on making the city more affordable, through free bus service, frozen rents, universal childcare and a higher minimum wage, among other ideas. The state assemblymember represented both the Democratic Party and the Working Families Party on the ballot. He quoted prominent late-19th and early-20th century socialist Eugene Debs in his victory speech Tuesday night. And he is a longtime member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).

RIP New York. To those who inevitably flee, we will welcome you but do not vote for the same crap that destroyed your former city. We don't want it. You see the results of it.

Daily Readings from the USCCB“What man among you having a hundred sheep and losing one of them would not leave the ninety-nine in the desert and go after the lost one until he finds it? And when he does find it, he sets it on his shoulders with great joy and, upon his arrival home, he calls together his friends and neighbors and says to them, ‘Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep.’” Luke 15:4–6Some of the great saints point out that the number one hundred represents perfection. One hundred refers to the perfection of the Kingdom...

"Available for the first time digitally, Billy Joel Tonight is one of the earliest official video documents of Billy Joel in concert, recorded live at the University of Connecticut over two nights in 1976. Here, Billy and his band play songs from the recently released Turnstiles, plus favorites from his growing catalog of classic songs." Lyrics: Seen the lights go out Broadway I saw the Empire State laid low And life went on beyond the Palisades They all bought Cadillacs And left there long ago They held a concert out in Brooklyn To watch the island bridges blow They turned...

Layoff announcements soared in October as companies recalibrated staffing levels during the artificial intelligence boom, a sign of potential trouble ahead for the labor market, according to outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas. Job cuts for the month totaled 153,074, a 183% surge from September and 175% higher than the same month a year ago. It was the highest level for any October since 2003. This has been the worst year for announced layoffs since 2009.*** To be sure, the Challenger monthly numbers can be highly volatile, and an accelerated pace of layoffs has yet to show up in state-level...

According to a Live Science report, the name of a previously unknown Maya queen has been deciphered from an inscription discovered last year on a staircase at Cobá, an urban center on Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula that was occupied from about 350 B.C. into the fourteenth century. Researchers from Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) named the staircase Foundation Rock. Although its 123 hieroglyphic panels have been damaged by erosion, David Stuart of the University of Texas at Austin and Octavio Esparza Olguín of the National Autonomous University of Mexico were able to match one of the Foundation Rock...

According to a statement released by the University of Exeter, traces of 76 stone chacus, or funnel-shaped traps, have been spotted in satellite images of northern Chile by Adrián Oyaneder of the University of Exeter. The dry-stone walls of the chacus stretch downhill for hundreds of yards, and end in pits surrounded by enclosures. Hunters would have driven vicuña into the traps and then collected them from the pits. Oyaneder noted that the trap builders sometimes employed natural features in the landscape as arms of their traps. He has also found evidence of settlements in satellite images of Chile's Western...

For thousands of years, the rugged limestone highlands of Slovenia's Karst Plateau have kept a stunning secret buried beneath forests and rocky sinkholes.Now, new research has revealed that this landscape once hosted massive, purpose-built stone megastructures that appear to have guided and trapped wild herds in one of Europe's earliest examples of large-scale communal hunting.This discovery not only sheds light on prehistoric hunting practices but also challenges our understanding of early European societies and their capabilities.The discovery, led by archaeologists from the University of Ljubljana, was recently published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). Using airborne laser...

With the new socialist mayor, I would like to see any conservative, or conservative leaning organizations, that are planning any sort of convention or meeting in New York in the future to cancel them—and publicly state why. I know there probably aren’t any planned in New York, but if there are, publicly boycotting the city seems very appropriate.

New Yorkers looking to flee Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s Democratic socialist agenda are being given an open invitation to Florida by one county sheriff, pitching it as “the beginning of a new life.” “If you’re an NYC resident or a great NYPD officer unhappy with the results of tonight’s Mayoral election, let me be the first to invite you into the welcoming arms of Volusia County,” Sheriff Mike Chitwood wrote on Facebook Tuesday night. “To my NYPD friends, if you want to come to work in an organization that is cutting edge, innovating every day, a place where you’re appreciated by...

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Thursday that she will retire at the end of her current term in Congress, starting the long goodbye as the California Democrat wraps up one of the most consequential legislative careers in U.S. history.

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University say their discovery of new inflammatory molecules could transform medical treatment. For many years, scientists believed they had a solid grasp of the biological processes behind asthma, a condition marked by lung inflammation that narrows airways and makes breathing difficult. They pointed to molecules known as “leukotrienes,” which are released by white blood cells in response to airway irritation or allergens, as the primary cause. These molecules trigger a chain reaction that tightens airways, and several drugs have been designed to block this process. However, a research team at Case Western Reserve University suggests...

Blaze News investigative reporters Steve Baker and Joseph Hanneman have spent years working to identify the masked individual who placed pipe bombs near the headquarters of the Republican National Committee and the Democratic National Committee in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 5, 2021. Baker, whom the Biden FBI arrested over his January 6 reporting, revealed to Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck on Wednesday that they have finally locked in on a suspect. What's more, Baker hinted that the suspect's imminent identification will implicate and shame at least one federal agency. Baker told Beck, "When I pulled this thread, I was so...

These videos from Josh Seiter is absolutely perfect. Seems like a dumb thing to do until you realize there is a small group of men doing nearly the same thing, except using it to invade women's spaces. But that's not all. Seiter has also been attending anti-ICE protests in Chicago as a "transnative" who called the protesters to leave his "land."

I have been having alot of problems with AOL email service. Is there a way to down load all of my messages/contacts/attachments? And does any have a preferred email provider?

Introduction In 1997 Ralph Raico published an article titled “Keynes and the Reds.” Raico’s article highlighted John Maynard Keynes’s review of a 1936 book by the British socialists Sidney and Beatrice Webb called Soviet Communism. In his review, Keynes discusses Joseph Stalin’s USSR and concludes: “The result is impressive.” For Raico, a historian in the classical liberal tradition, this statement contradicts the conventional idea that Keynes was a model liberal.
