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...

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...

"Everybody benefited from slavery. Everybody," Lisa Cook, a Michigan State University professor, said in a September 2020 "EconTalk" podcast. "So, I think that we absolutely need some sort of reckoning with that.

Mills ignored the second question and continued walking. A source shared the video with Fox News Digital after reporting Friday revealed the Department...
