A young liberal woman refused to cooperate with prosecutors after violent recidivist Rhamell Burke attacked her on the subway five weeks before he allegedly pushed a retired NYC teacher to his death on Thursday. Now the 23-year-old woman has regrets. “Maybe a part of me was just like, I don’t want to put another black man in jail,” she told The Post. Rhamell Burke, ctr., is led out of the 13th police precinct in Manhattan after his arrest Friday, May 8, 2026.

545 Comments The anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement protests in Bushwick on Saturday night included a tight-knit group of young semi-pro protesters, familiar from previous clashes with cops. This network of Gen Z agitators — largely young, upwardly mobile transplants to New York City — seem intent on picking a fight with authority first and cause second, moving seamlessly from climate activism to anti-Israel protest and now anti-ICE and immigration enforcement. They organize through decentralized non-public networks, such as Discord and encrypted messaging apps, which you have to be a vetted member to join, according to sources, which is how they...

When her fellow travelers aren't smashing in Starbucks windows to stick it to the man, Mayor Katie Wilson is busy ridding the Emerald City of one of its most iconic Seattle brands. She's busy eating the rich and pontificating about forcing grocery stores to do her bidding. She's like Zohran Mamdani, New York City's mayor, but is less talented and much, much less likable. Seattle used to be a place where the arts were bigger than Antifa, food culture was bigger than fentanyl, and where hardworking citizens were prized above homeless addicts. With every utterance or move she makes, however,...

Grace Carol Brown was arrested Jan. 22 by the New Braunfels Police Department on suspicion of arson and burglary after employees at the Comal County Republican Party headquarters discovered the building had been broken into and a small fire had been set on Jan. 14, according to a Jan. 23 release.

A rageful woman wearing a 'Make America Kind Again' t-shirt was filmed unleashing a barrage of strikes on pinata make to look like the president with a metal pipe, as a cheering crowd egged her on. Resurfaced footage uploaded on Saturday captured an older gray-haired protester at a roadside demonstration sporting a 'MAKA' shirt that read 'Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You'. It is unclear when or where the woman's violent demonstration took place, however the footage was previously uploaded in September. While sporting the golden rule on her back, she ferociously beat a pinata...

ANN ARBOR, MI — The last “Neighborhood Crime Watch” sign in Ann Arbor is now removed. City officials gathered on Princeton Avenue on Tuesday, April 21, for the ceremonial removal of the final sign after weeks of work to remove hundreds of similar signs. “It’s great to see the last of these relics of the past come down,” said City Council Member Jen Eyer, D-4th Ward. Eyer joined Mayor Christopher Taylor and Council Member Cynthia Harrison, D-1st Ward, in lifting it out of the ground to be hauled away and recycled. Despite neighborhood watch programs being defunct, more than 600...

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson laughed and seemed to encourage the notion that millionaires could leave the state of Washington while discussing her support for a progressive tax during an interview earlier this month. “I think the claims that millionaires are going to leave our state are, like, super overblown. And if — the ones that leave, like, bye,” she said, which prompted cheers and laughter from the audience at the Seattle University event, Seattle University Conversations, which took place on April 14. Wilson was asked if she believed progressive taxes were an “easy” and “promising” solution to the tax climate...

At the end of Ayn Rand's novel, Atlas Shrugged, the main characters are in an airplane, fleeing New York City, which is undergoing an economic collapse after the left took over and all of the producers fled. As they pass over the city, the lights go out; all of them, plunging the city into darkness. One of the protagonists, railroad mogul Dagny Taggart, sees this and says, "It's the end." The main character, inventor John Galt, corrects her: "No. It's the beginning." Seattle's new socialist mayor, Katie Wilson, seems determined to replicate the ending from Ayn Rand's novel. Her lunatic...

A West Virginia prosecutor dismissed charges Thursday against a librarian who allegedly tried to recruit assassins to target President Donald Trump, a local TV station reported. Morgan L. Morrow of Ripley, West Virginia, was charged in January with one count of making a terroristic threat, the agency posted on its Facebook page. Prosecutors, though, elected to dismiss the charges “without prejudice,” Clarksburg-area TV station WDTV reported Thursday, less than a week after Trump was targeted by a would-be assassin at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. ADVERTISEMENT Meet Morgan L. Morrow, a librarian at Jackson County Public Library in West Virginia....

As the mother of sons, I wish we didn’t spend quite so much time knocking young men. TV talking points like Louis Theroux’s Inside the Manosphere have focussed our attention on problematic blokes to such an extent that few pose an important question: What’s up with the femosphere? It seems that for every male who’s found his mentor in Andrew Tate or the late Charlie Kirk, there’s a young woman who’s been radicalised by Greta Thunberg and AOC (Democrat congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to you and me). On both sides of the Atlantic, polling shows young women are far more likely...

A Maine city councilor will face an ethics board review after he was heard complaining about 'illegals' in his community. Bangor City Councilor Wayne Mallar, 81, discussed a proposed budget increase for multilingual services in schools at a Board of Ethics meeting on March 31. 'The school department's asking for a 10 percent increase. As far as I'm concerned, they get no increase,' he said - seemingly unaware his comments were being picked up by a microphone. 'They can't speak English, read English or write English. It's not a disability. We do not have to furnish. They're probably all illegals...

Michigan Democrat Mallory McMorrow, a candidate running for US Senate, deleted thousands of tweets, some of which defended “coastal elites” and were critical of “Middle America,” after The Post first reported on them last year. Morrow, 39, purged her X account of roughly 6,000 posts, including all her tweets posted prior to 2020, CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski reported on Wednesday. The journalist noted the social media cleanse came after The Post’s April 2025 scoop on McMorrow’s tweet history. The deleted posts even included jabs at the purple state she is now running to represent. “Aaaand it’s snowing. Screw you, Michigan. #NYCtoLA,”...

Most cheered, but some called it a hoax or claimed it was a Trump supporter who did it. We've seen it before -- the giggling, the gloating. The left always dances a jig whenever evil takes a shot at President Trump, which happened again last night. President Trump charitably called the would-be assassin 'a sick person.' But the left embraced that 'sick.' They hate Trump so much they hailed that sicko and all the evil around him. The most hideous ones were found on X: [numerous X posts in article] SNIP Obviously, they are constrained by staff rules and can't...

Republican strategist Karl Rove said Thursday that Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) is going through a “bad start” as she experiences some rocky polling. “Well, it’s a bad start, remember, she won 58-42 last November,” Rove said on Fox News’s “America’s Newsroom.” “She said in that tape that you had that it was a 17-point swing, it’s actually a 9-point swing. The last Democrat, Terry McAuliffe, had 49 percent four years earlier,” Rove said, referencing the Virginia governor from 2014-18. “The poll shows her 46 approve, 47 disapprove, and that’s, you know, 12 points less than what she got on...

BREAKING - Melissa Halverson, the leftist Michigan woman who made a video celebrating the possible capture and death of a downed US airman at the hands of Iran, has been fired from her position as an administrative assistant at Green Apple Pantry.

Former First Lady Michelle Obama has advice for young women starting their careers: Don’t try to dismantle a broken system until you have clout that commands authority. Sadly, that means waiting until you’re older and established in your career to make those changes. Her new book chronicles the evolution of her personal style as First Lady and after leaving the White House. Specifically, the book delves into how fashion played a key role in establishing Obama’s credibility—a rubric all professional women are judged by, sadly. In her talk with Cooper, Obama reflected on how fashion choices are more consequential for...

In a case stemming from a protest over a decade ago, the Supreme Court delivered a decision this week about qualified immunity. The Supreme Court on Monday ruled in Zorn v. Linton that a Vermont state police sergeant is entitled to qualified immunity in a case brought by a protester following a dispute at the Vermont Capitol in 2015. In an unsigned per curiam opinion, the majority reversed the decision of a lower court, which had sided against the police officer's use of force in the case: "The Second Circuit held that Zorn was not entitled to qualified immunity. "We...

Almost a year ago, we learned that more than half of Leftist women between the ages of 18 and 29 have at least one diagnosed mental illness. It shows. There's a reason we refer to them as AWFULs — Affluent White Female Urban Leftists — after all. Now a significant number of those women between the ages of 15 and 44 want to leave the U.S. and move permanently overseas, according to Gallup.

Mar 20, 2026, TX Democrat Julie Johnson just compared the two who died in Minneapolis by ICE (Renee Good and Alex Pretti) to the Islamic Republic of Iran executing protesters. She called these: "executions." On BBC, w/ Caitríona Perry. Aired on PBS
