Mayor Zohran Mamdani last week tore off the mask: He’s going full-on antisemite. At last Thursday’s rally for his slate of extremist House candidates — Brad Lander, Darializa Avila Chevalier and Claire Valdez — Mamdani railed that we’re now living in a “time of monsters.” Who are these monsters? Though they “take many forms,” it’s … AIPAC. Yep: Per Mamdani, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee is the heart of all evil; the only thing it fears more than democracy “is an end to genocide.” Reality check: AIPAC is an entirely legal political outfit that operates like dozens of other...

Maine Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner is facing yet more scrutiny after archived social media posts surfaced containing graphic remarks, controversial political statements, and comments about military veterans. The posts, recovered from Platner’s former Reddit account and reviewed by multiple outlets, remained accessible through internet archives despite efforts to remove much of his online activity. Among the material drawing attention was a response Platner posted in 2014 to an online discussion asking users to share offensive jokes. Under the username P-Hustle, Platner responded to a Reddit prompt asking users to share “the most f*cked up, jaw-dropping, offensive joke you know?”...

(The Center Square) – The U.S. House overwhelmingly approved the revised 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, sending the bipartisan bill to President Donald Trump’s desk for signature. The legislation, which aims to boost housing supply and home ownership nationally, cleared the lower chamber in a 358-32 vote Tuesday evening after sailing through the Senate the night before. House Financial Services Committee Chairman French Hill, R-Ark., who helped shape the package, called it “one of the most significant bipartisan housing reforms in recent memory.” “This final product advances practical, bipartisan, and bicameral solutions to modernize federal housing programs, reduce regulatory...

A longstanding archaeological mystery has loomed over discoveries at ancient burial sites in eastern Siberia: why were so many children and adolescents among the dead?Now, according to a recent study in the journal Nature, DNA recovered from human remains found in burial sites at four cemeteries near Lake Baikal in eastern Siberia may finally reveal the answer.Thousands of years ago, prior to the rise of ancient medieval cities -- and their often-rat-infested streets -- a disease famously associated with these rodents had already ravaged communities of prehistoric hunter-gatherers.The research, based on reconstructions of ancient bacterial genomes preserved in the teeth...

Screenshot via TMZ President Donald Trump has not yet been able to offer evidence of the “vandals” he claims damaged the Reflecting Pool, but the administration is not taking any chances, installing surveillance cameras and chain-link fencing around the area on Tuesday. Trump’s decision to drain the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and paint the bottom “American Flag Blue” has been criticized for its cost, plus the no-bid $14 million contract that was given to an ally. Since the pool was refilled, the water has been plagued with spreading bright green algae, and the paint has been peeling away. Reporters have...

More than 450 alleged fraudsters — including 90 doctors and medical professionals — were busted for bilking at least $6.5 billion in fake Medicare and Medicaid claims, with one greedy nurse splashing her ill-gotten gains on an $865,000 Bulgari necklace, $594,000 Ferrari and a $4.6 million Philippines beach resort, authorities said. The colossal crackdown, which spanned 45 US states and territories, was announced Tuesday by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, who called it “the greatest combined federal and state effort combating health care fraud in history.” In total, 455 people were netted — including alleged con artists who blew the...

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) is taking the Democrat Party establishment head-on in the greatest test of his political clout since his unlikely election victory in November. Maryland and Utah join New York in holding primaries Tuesday, with South Carolina holding primary runoffs. But most political prognosticators are fixated on New York, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), whose political fortunes hang on maintaining control over their evolving, increasingly radical Democrat caucuses. Mamdani, a democratic socialist, has endorsed three candidates for the House of Representatives, each cut from his Marxist...

What would happen if Civil War broke out in the United States again in 2026? Thankfully, with modern AI technology, we no longer need to wonder.

A Jewish civil rights group is urging the Justice Department to investigate Mayor Zohran Mamdani and his administration for alleged “discriminatory failure to protect Jewish residents from antisemitic hate” crimes. The bombshell accusations from the National Jewish Advocacy Center come two days after the Poetica Coffee shop in Brooklyn told pro-Israel Jewish Rep. Dan Goldman never to enter the eatery again, claiming it doesn’t serve “genocdial enablers.” “The National Jewish Advocacy Center writes to request that the Civil Rights Division open an investigation, under its pattern-or-practice authority … into whether the City of New York and the New York City...

Democratic Scranton Mayor Paige Cognetti said she supported disarming police officers and wanted to emulate Japan’s gun-control laws in a resurfaced video from 2020. Cognetti, who is seeking to unseat Republican Pennsylvania Rep. Rob Bresnahan in the Eighth Congressional District, has a history of supporting anti-Second Amendment groups, notably Everytown. She made the remarks about Japan’s gun-control laws during a June 2020 virtual town hall in which she also said she wanted to disarm police. “I would love to get to a world where a country where we don’t have or police don’t have firearms and where we don’t have...

More than two decades ago, in 2004, Harvard professor Samuel Huntington warned in his book “Who Are We?” that America was facing a crisis of identity. He argued that a nation cannot remain united without a common culture, a common history, and a common understanding of itself. Remove those foundations, and a society inevitably fragments into competing tribes, interests, and identities.Huntington pointed to the Anglo-Protestant Creed as the core of America’s unifying identity. He argued that America’s political institutions and civic ideals did not arise in a vacuum but were rooted in a culture shaped by Protestant Christianity. If Huntington...

Eggs are a dietary staple for millions worldwide, known for their flavor and nutritional value. In the United States alone, per capita egg consumption reached 281.3 eggs in 2023, with projections suggesting it will rise to 284.4 in 2024, according to Statista. Yet, eggs have long been at the center of debates about their effects on cholesterol and heart health. In a groundbreaking experiment, Nick Norwitz, a Harvard student and Oxford-trained physiologist, consumed 24 eggs a day for 30 days, challenging conventional beliefs about dietary cholesterol. His unexpected results have sparked renewed discussions about the role of eggs in a...

State Attorney General Alan Wilson has won the Republican nomination for governor of South Carolina, NBC News projected Tuesday, after a closely watched runoff that featured President Donald Trump’s unusual double endorsement of two candidates. Wilson is now heavily favored heading into the general election in South Carolina’s first open governor’s race since 2010. Republican Gov. Henry McMaster was term-limited and could not seek re-election. Democratic candidate Jermaine Johnson won his primary this month In the initial June 9 Republican primary, Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette finished first with 29% of the votes, while Wilson placed second with 26%, with both...

Grok 4.1 has informed me the June 1962 Guns & Ammo magazine had a letter or short article in it about a boy/young man or boy scout who encountered a black bear on a mountain trail and shot it with a .22 handgun, killing the bear. I do not know if it is true. However, Freepers have vast stores of knowledge. A freeper may even have a copy of the June 1962 Guns & Ammo magazine, or know where one may be accessed. Any help in tracking down this lead would be appreciated.
