Also featured in the post were Diana Taherabadi, 16, and Mahboubeh Shabani,...

NEW YORK, NY — Former President Barack Obama and current New York City Mayor Zorhan Mamdani delighted preschool students this week by taking turns reading passages from the Communist Manifesto. "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles," Obama recited to the kids. "The bourgeoisie cannot exist without constantly revolutionising the instruments of production, and thereby the relations of production, and with them the whole relations of society. Right, kids?" The preschoolers looked on in admiration and slight confusion as the two politicians continued their reading, pausing only to make sure the kids were...

For decades, the Armenian American community has sought a simple action from the White House: Officially recognize the 1915 systematic annihilation of 1.5 million Armenians by the Ottoman Empire as a genocide. It is an event that the Turkish government continues to deny. Although Congress moved to recognize the genocide in 2019 and a formal presidential acknowledgment was made in 2021, the current administration has spent the past year retreating into the linguistic fogginess of “great calamity” and “historical tragedy” to describe this dark chapter in world history... The administration’s conduct in the Iran war is under intense global scrutiny......

Austin Justice @AustinJustice Memphis was one of the most dangerous cities in America. It’s now becoming a model for how to fight crime when you have a terrible DA. From the peak: - Murders down 47% - Carjackings down 48% - Robberies down 51%. - Vehicle theft down 80%. What changed: 1. State troopers took over interstate patrol, freeing up local officers. 2. Police launched focused initiatives targeting fugitives, violent repeat offenders, and gang members. 3. National Guard, federal agents, and US Marshals came in and made 9,000+ arrests, including 400+ gang members. Plus 629 illegal firearms seized, 150 missing...

U.S. Fiscal Situation Continues to Deteriorate In just the past week, the debt and deficits of the United States took further blows as spending increases, falling revenues, and geopolitical hostilities tightened the funding vice. Distractions vs. Long-Term Trends Even if you're primarily a precious metal investor, you've likely been distracted by war headlines for the past few weeks. Over that same time, however, other long-term headlines have surfaced that will greatly impact gold and silver over time. You may have missed them, so, for this week's post, let's recap. Monthly Treasury Report – March Deficit Let's start with the latest...

WASHINGTON, April 16 (Reuters) - U.S. officials have informed some European counterparts that some previously contracted weapons deliveries are likely to be delayed ‌as the Iran war continues to draw on weapons stocks, five sources familiar with the matter said... Some of the weapons in question were purchased by European countries under the Foreign Military Sales program, or ⁠FMS, but have not yet been delivered, the sources added. Those deliveries will likely be delayed, U.S. officials told European officials in bilateral ​messages in recent days, the sources said.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna is still in her second term, but already on the cusp of becoming a national figure. She’s gone one-on-one with Joe Rogan. On live TV, she corrected Bill Maher about her “Cuban” ethnicity (“We’re Mexican. We’re not all the same, Bill.”) If you could buy stock in a politician’s future, Rep. Luna’s stock value would be soaring. You don’t have to be a genius to figure out why. If Jay Leno’s quip is accurate — and politics is “show business for ugly people” — then Mrs. Luna is preposterously overqualified. Not too many of her colleagues...

imo, There's no doubt in MY mind that Mamdani was selected to be the Mayor.After seeing two rabid Muslims singing a relatively Protestant church bus song together with some very enthusiastic (whom obviously KNEW the song, thus . . church/children Sunday School ..attendees) children, it appears that the radicals have invaded us and are stepping up their indoctrination the way they ALWAYS do . . . . they use our own ways and laws against us.The plan is to take over the Island of Manhattan and eventually make it a Caliphate / Islamic State. . . . . We are...

Coal-fired power plant retirements in the United States dropped to their lowest level in more than a decade in 2025, as operators delayed or canceled closures and federal officials stepped in to keep some facilities running to support grid reliability, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). New data released Monday by EIA shows that the U.S. electric power sector retired 2.6 gigawatts (GW) of coal capacity across four plants last year — the smallest annual total since 2010, and a figure below the 8.5 GW of retirements that had been planned at the start of the year. Instead,...

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson apologized on Monday for campaigning for President Donald Trump, declaring that he would be “tormented” by the decision “for a long time” to come. During an interview with his brother Buckley Carlson – a Republican Party operative who previously wrote speeches for Trump – Carlson expressed regret for having publicly supported the president, who has repeatedly attacked him in recent months.

Whoopi Goldberg: This will come as interesting surprise to everyone. Do you know who just lost one of his biggest supporters over the ongoing war in Iran? Far-right commentator Tucker Carlson says he regrets ever helping to put you-know-who in the White House. Take a look. You and I and everyone else who supported him, you wrote speeches for him, I campaigned for him. I mean, we're implicated in this, for sure. Yes. It's not enough to say, well, I changed my mind, or like, oh, this is bad, I'm out. It's like in very small ways, but in real...

A taxpayer-funded babysitter who mercilessly beat two young children flashed a carefree smile Wednesday when she was finally arrested – nearly a month after videos of the attacks were given to authorities. La’keysha Jackson, 24, vacantly smirked Wednesday as NYPD detectives led her out of the Bronx Special Victims Unit, hours after cops cuffed her for beating a pair of kids with a belt nearly 60 times. La’keysha Jackson was caught on camera allegedly beating kids in her care. “Our clients can rest easier now knowing that Ms. Jackson is no longer on the street,” the family’s lawyer, Daniel Szalkiewicz,...

Voters are in the Virginia polls, choosing yes or no on a constitutional amendment that could sway four seats in the U.S. House of Representatives come November. New congressional redistricting maps were ignited by second-term Republican Donald Trump’s pressure onto Texas in 2025. Thus far, redraws have given hope for Republicans to gain three seats; Virginia could change that to a one seat deficit.The state has six Democrats and five Republicans in the House, and if the amendment passes would be forecast to reach a 10-1 edge. In the last statewide presidential vote of 2024, Democrat Kamala Harris edged Trump...

A school in Minnesota is planning to construct a prayer room and foot-washing stations in order to accomodate its Muslim students. Osseo Area Schools confirmed to Alpha News reporter Liz Collin its ongoing upgrade plans will include a dedicated prayer space at Park Center Senior High School, along with foot washing facilities at Osseo Senior High School. The features are part of revised designs within the district’s “Building a Better Future” capital program, a roughly $375 million package approved by voters in 2022 and 2023. However, a spokesperson for Park Center Senior High School told Mail Online it was not...

The Supreme Court agreed Monday to weigh in on whether Colorado can exclude Catholic schools from its universal pre-K program over their rejection of students who have same-sex parents. The Catholic preschool in Littleton, Colorado, filed a lawsuit against Colorado arguing that its exclusion from the preschool program is religious discrimination and violates the First Amendment, Politico reported. Specifically, the school says it is being discriminated against because the state will not provide an exemption from its rules and would require the school to admit everyone, including students who identify as LGBTQ+ and students who have LGBTQ+ parents. Colorado has...

Updated April 21, 2026, 9:54 a.m. ET WASHINGTON — President Trump has rejected the idea of letting talks with Iran keep going if they run past tomorrow’s cease-fire expiration without a deal in place. “Well, I don’t want to do that. We don’t have that much time,” Trump told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” Tuesday morning when asked about the idea. “They have to negotiate. And, you know, the one thing I’ll say is this: Iran can get themselves at a very good footing. If they make a deal, they can make themselves into a strong nation again, a wonderful nation again,”...

Media liberals have been performing an increasingly common shtick. They piously proclaim that they are not comparing President Donald Trump and MAGA to Hitler and the Nazis ...and then they proceed to do exactly that. The latest example of this absurdly disingenuous technique comes via David A. Graham in Saturday's Atlantic magazine with "The Film That Explains Contemporary America."The title itself actually says that the film directed by Marcel Ophuls which is the excellent documentary The Sorrow and The Pity about life in occupied France during World War II "EXPLAINS Contemporary America." And yet Graham after the obvious comparison presents...
