The Department of Housing and Urban Development on Friday launched an investigation into Multnomah County, Oregon, over the county's race-based homelessness programs, writing in a letter to county officials that the programs likely violate the Fair Housing Act. The move comes after the Washington Free Beacon reported that Multnomah County, which includes most of Portland, awards more points for "requesting culturally responsive services" than for being "homeless 12+ months" in its allocation scheme for housing services. Individuals must reach a certain cutoff on the points-based index in order to qualify for supportive housing. The county also sets aside "culturally specific"...

WASHINGTON — A sex therapist who vowed to force “American Zionists” into federal immigration detention centers — where many, who she claimed are also “pedophiles,” would be castrated — was soundly defeated in a Texas Democratic primary on Tuesday. Maureen Galindo, whose “insane, antisemitic views” were denounced by members of her own party, lost to opponent Johnny Garcia in the Lone Star State’s 35th Congressional District runoff, 59.5% to 40.5% when the Associated Press called the race at about 10:40 p.m. EST. Either Republican state Rep. John Lujan or Air Force veteran Carlos De La Cruz will face off with...

This video discusses reality TV personality Spencer Pratt's appearance on the daytime talk show The View and his campaign for mayor of Los Angeles. The host of the video argues that Pratt successfully shifted the conversation from celebrity gossip to the stark reality of urban decline in Los Angeles. Key takeaways from the interview: Critique of LA Leadership: Pratt focuses on the observable deterioration of Los Angeles streets, citing issues like homelessness, drug addiction, and public safety concerns, while criticizing officials like Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom for what he describes as failed, performative leadership (0:28-0:43, 6:13-7:17). Authenticity vs. Politics:...

On a day when Americans traditionally pause to honor the brave service members who made the ultimate sacrifice, MS NOW opted for a different approach: publishing an opinion piece accusing the U.S. military of wrongdoing in the ongoing conflict with Iran. In her Memorial Day article entitled "The Pentagon can honor our military dead this Memorial Day by committing to fight the right way," retired Air Force Lt. Col. and MS NOW contributor Rachel E. VanLandingham argues that the best way for the Pentagon to honor fallen troops is by “owning the mistakes” that have killed Iranian civilians, restoring the...

Liberal podcast star Jennifer Welch branded President Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again movement a “Nazi-style cult” during the Monday’s edition of her show. Welch ranted that MAGA supporters are fake Americans who need to be placed in a special historical category, much like citizens of the Third Reich. “We cannot let them besmirch the name the United States of America. Let it be MAGA. Much like when you think of Germany, you don’t associate modern-day Germany as being Nazis. You don’t associate that,” Welch said on I’ve Had It. “So we need to separate ourselves from this Nazi-style cult,...

Despite a growing storm of criticism, including from members of her own party, the San Antonio Democrat insists she’s not antisemitic.Controversy-tarred congressional candidate Maureen Galindo this week pledged to transform a site south of San Antonio now used by the Trump administration to detain migrants into an internment camp for “American Zionists.” “She’ll turn Karnes ICE Detention Center into a prison for American Zionists and former ICE officers for human trafficking,” Galindo wrote in an Instagram post over the weekend, referring to herself in the third person. “It will also be a castration processing center for pedophiles, which will probably...

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. Robert Mecea for New York PostMaybe if she had indulged in less self-congratulatory empathy for the maniac who...

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,...

A New Braunfels, Texas, woman arrested in January for setting fire to a county Republican Party’s headquarters was charged with terrorism, according to local media. 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...
