The accounts showed suspiciously unusual activity, with some recording more than 500 posts a day and another logging 955 reshares in a single day, all traced to City Hall infrastructure.

Naomi is a 24 year old, lives on Manhattan's Upper East Side and earns six figures working two retail jobs. Her boyfriend, meanwhile, spent much of his time at her apartment lying in bed and scrolling through Instagram Reels. Naomi helped him fix his résumé, pushed him to apply for jobs and, while he figured out his next move, picked up the tab for nearly everything. But the money was only part of what bothered her. Naomi told The Cut that his lack of income seemed to double as an excuse to put little effort into the relationship, too. Romance,...

Join with fellow FREEPERS to pray for AMERICA: For those in Authority in Government, Family, Military, Business, Healthcare, Education, Churches, and the Media. I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone: for kings and all those in authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men,...

Mainstream media in France given access to a report on the 2022 death of Jeffrey Epstein's key French associate Jean-Luc Brunel. Brunel found hanging in his prison cell early on the morning of February 19th, 2022... "strategic autonomy" The operative words this week as French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu announced that France's Directorate for Intelligence and Security (DGSI) would break its relationship with the US tech company "Palantir"... Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot saying France 'will hot tolerate any attempt at foreign interference' in next year's Presidential Election. Mainstream media reporting says that Russian interference campaigns are underway based on recent...

The AI job apocalypse is turning out to be a bust. The Wall Street Journal reports that major companies are hiring again, defying predictions that artificial intelligence would wipe out large numbers of jobs — and specifically entry level jobs. But the really interesting twist in this story is that AI is actually creating jobs. Entry level workers aren’t victims; they are valuable assets.Instead of preparing for disaster, let’s focus on a more productive — and realistic endeavor — preparing students and young adults for the opportunities that AI is creating for them in work and in life.As the founder...

Two weeks ago, I discussed the committee authorship of the Declaration of Independence and its adoption (after significant edits) by the Continental Congress.Today, I want to discuss the extraordinary edits concerning the issue of slavery. As is well known, the Continental Congress assigned an editorial committee of five men: Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Roger Sherman, Robert Livingston and Benjamin Franklin.Thomas Jefferson penned the first draft, which was then edited by the committee and then the Continental Congress in session. As noted before in my July 24th column, they made significant edits. However, the most significant and the most extensive edit...

Those of us in the majority of Americans who have been deprived of an excellent education have never had more opportunities to remediate ourselves.Many Americans have assumed that if you want a serious education in history, philosophy, or literature, you must go to college, preferably a highly rated one. The Harvards, Yales, and Princetons of the world have theoretically been where the classics were taught, great ideas debated, and intellectual life was supposed to flourish.That assumption is beginning to change, and not just because of headlines like “The Elite College Students Who Can’t Read Books.” The “academy” no longer has...

We've seen a lot of bad ideas coming from the socialist mayor of New York City. But the latest idea from Zohran Mamdani has people talking and responding with an immediate, visceral reaction. It's a new program to watch your children for four hours, so you can have a night out. All parents have to do is drop your kids off with government employees you don't know. Would you do this? NYC, Zohran Mamdani is offering free babysitting so parents can have a date night.Would you drop your children off to random babysitters at a city location in NYC? pic.twitter.com/gtnC8p7r9G—...

Set almost entirely inside a late-night New York City subway car, the film follows a diverse group of passengers who are terrorized by two violent young men. As the abuse escalates, fear, prejudice, selfishness, and social divisions prevent the passengers from standing together.The Incident (1967, Film Noir/Crime Thriller - Ruby Dee, Martin Sheen, Beau Bridges, Thelma Ritter, Ed McMahon, Donna Mills)

The more you see and hear from Abdul El-Sayed, the socialist-aligned radical who just won the Democrat Party's Senate primary in Michigan, the more it seems like he's better suited to be a bomb-throwing keyboard warrior or a podcast bro who excels at raging into a microphone. It certainly seems like he's auditioning for one of these roles instead of the sober, serious job of being a United States senator. Then again, no one has accused the Democrat Party of being sober or serious in a very long time. El-Sayed had Vice President JD Vance in his sights during a...

This video features commentary on a controversial incident in the WNBA involving Chicago Sky player DiJonai Carrington and Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham. Key events and points discussed include: The Incident: DiJonai Carrington was ejected from a game after committing a "flagrant 2" foul, appearing to hit Sophie Cunningham in the face during a layup attempt (0:00-0:30, 4:56-5:13). Social Media Reaction: Following her ejection, Carrington posted "white privilege" on Threads and tagged the Indiana Fever, a move the creator criticizes as unprofessional and unrelated to the officiating call (0:32-1:04, 8:28-9:00). Controversial History: The creator highlights Carrington's previous controversial on-court interactions,...

Hammer and Sickle? Who under the age of 60 would even remember that barbaric symbol of Communism? Or the tens of millions it executed under its totalitarian death grip? Or the fact that several nations still smart beneath its jackboot? Given the degraded state of contemporary education, such ignorance is to be expected. To call this a mere problem is too benign a word, like calling the bombing of Dresden an incident. No, tragedy more befits this development.Educated Americans sincerely query how such amnesia could have settled upon our nation. The statistics take us aback. Nearly 38 percent of Americans...

Here is the news you’ve all been waiting for: former New Jersey governor Chris Christie, a man with a checkered past, is once again considering running for president in 2028. He ran in 2016 and is still holding grievances against Donald Trump for winning. Christie is continually on left-wing news shows complaining about President Trump. He claims he’s a conservative while acting like a RINO; his goal would be to move people away from America First and back into the party of RINOism. He hasn’t officially announced, but he addressed the idea recently. His supporters say his experience gives him...

Chuck Todd on Thursday sadly criticized the poor optics of Anthony Fauci pleading the fifth amendment over a hundred times during his Senate hearing last week. Ironically, Todd during his appearance on CNN's News Central seemed to have forgotten the incredibly poor Covid optics of his own namely his July 1, 2021 finger wagging shtick in which he angrily denounced, with misinformation, those in the audience who still hadn't gotten the Covid vaccine. First let us look at Todd's criticism of Fauci pleading the Fifth at the Senate hearing.

Di-Quan Hunt arrested for attacking white women in Charlotte, North Carolina ==================================================================================== The sister of the man with a lengthy rap sheet who was arrested for randomly assaulting women in Dilworth, North Carolina, has spoken out on her brother’s crimes, revealing that left-wing judges keep releasing him despite pleas from the family to “get my brother in an institution.” In an interview, Hunt’s sister, who asked to remain anonymous, revealed that she has tried pleading with law enforcement, attorneys, and even judges to get her brother off the street before he kills somebody. Still, he has been released every time...

Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, is the only governor in America currently under investigation for a “pay-to-play” scheme, but that investigation will likely conclude just prior to the November election. Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes – a fellow Democrat – is conducting the investigation and recently told reporters that the investigation is “near the end” and results would come prior to the November election, KTAR News reported. “I feel confident that we’re going to get the information that we need to conclude the investigation,” Mayes told reporters earlier this week. The investigation involves Hobbs’ connection to an Arizona group...

HAVE I EARNED TOMORROW? Is anybody happier because you passed this way? Does anybody remember that you spoke to them today? The day is almost over and its toiling time is through: Is there anyone to utter now a kindly word of you? Can you say tonight in parting with the day that's slipping fast, That you helped a single person of the many that you passed? Is a single heart rejoicing over what you did or said? Does the one whose hopes were fading now with courage look ahead? Did you waste the day or use it? Was...

The number of antisemitic incidents recorded across the UK since the start of the year is up by a fifth compared to last year, figures show. The Community Security Trust (CST), an organisation that provides security support to the Jewish community, recorded 1,926 incidents of anti-Jewish hate across the UK in the first six months of 2026. It represents a 21% increase on the number of similar incidents reported in the first half of last year. It also marks the second highest total of antisemitic hate incidents ever recorded by CST in the first half of any year since the...

He’s losing his connection with reality. Days after getting booted from his family’s $1.75 million Virginia mansion, the Cornell University student who declared he’s “not interested in working for a Jew” is losing his mind over a new enemy: a 5G cell tower. In a bizarre Aug. 2 rant on X, Austin Franco claimed a mysterious 5G box outside the window of his new Ithaca, NY, pad is blasting harmful radiation right into his brain. “My head has been ringing for the past hour and I have a massive headache,” Franco, 19, whined in the midnight post. “The ping on...

She’s unplugged from reality. A rent-striking, rising-star radical orchestrating the Mamdani administration’s socialist housing agenda is the daughter of a famed music studio owner who recorded rock legends like David Bowie, the Ramones, Blondie, Lou Reed, Sonic Youth, the Foo Fighters and Coldplay, The Post has learned. While framing herself as a champion of the proletariat, Tracy Rosenthal grew up in a trendy $1.7 million NoMad pad with elite access to the music industry — attending the Grammys at least twice with her dad, four-time winner Steven Rosenthal.
