A former Black Lives Matter activist-turned-conservative influencer blasted the social justice organization as a “scam” — and insisted that Democrats are the party of “racism and violence.” Xaviaer DuRousseau, 29, revealed that he did a complete 180 from his liberal upbringing during the 2020 George Floyd riots as he realized that the movement was a money grab and that he was indoctrinated. “Once I started looking at the conservative side of the argument, I started realizing, oh, wait, socialism has literally never worked. BLM has always been a scam, and the Democratic Party has always been the party of racism...

NJ Transit officials formally announced its sky-high $150 round-trip ticket prices for trains headed to FIFA World Cup games at the Meadowlands, confirming controversial reports from earlier this week. To make matters worse, Kris Kolluri, president of the Garden State’s largest transit network, also told reporters Friday that just 40,000 tickets will be made available, and once they’re gone, remaining rail-riding soccer fans will be out of luck. He also said two shuttle buses would be available to take passengers to New York-New Jersey Stadium from Port Authority and Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine in Nutley at a teeth-clenching cost...

The deaths or disappearances of 11 top US scientists and researchers is a matter of urgent national importance, a member of the House Oversight Committee insisted Friday. Rep. Eric Burlison (R-Mo.) said his office had already been eyeing some of the “too coincidental” disappearances a year before President Trump told reporters Thursday that he had ordered an investigation. The lawmaker argued the fate of the scientists is almost “certainly” linked to the access some had to classified aerospace, defense and UFO information — and may involve bad actors from China, Russia or Iran.

The FBI has dismissed 10 agents and analysts involved in former special counsel Jack Smith's classified documents prosecution of President Trump, a spokesperson for the bureau confirmed Thursday.

Mexico has quietly shipped nearly 100 suspected cartel drug traffickers to the US to stand trial charges after President Trump branded the groups foreign terrorist organizations last year — and pressured the Mexican government to cooperate. The suspects include the brother of Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes — the brutal Jalisco New Generation cartel (CJNG) leader who was killed by the Mexican army on Sunday. The Justice Department said many of the 92 defendants released to the Americans had US extradition requests that were not honored during the Biden administration.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio directed all diplomats to revert to using the Times New Roman typeface in official communications and criticized his predecessor for shifting to Calibri, a font deemed too woke for the Trump administration.

Global sea levels have not continued to rise at the rates predicted by many scientists — and there is no evidence that climate change has contributed to any such acceleration, a new first-of-its-kind study has claimed. The research found that the average sea level rise in 2020 was only around 1.5mm per year, or 6 inches per century, according to the paper’s authors, Dutch engineering consultant Hessel Voortman and independent researcher Rob de Vos. “This is significantly lower than the 3 to 4 mm/year often reported by climate scientists in scientific literature and the media,” Voortman told independent journalist Michael...

In fact, she’s only 19 days older than me,” Martz tells The Post, barely a week out from receiving his undergraduate degree in meteorology from Pennsylvania’s Millersville University. Unlike the Swedish climate poster child turned Gaza groupie, Martz tackles the incomprehensibly complex subject of Earth’s ever-changing climate with reason and data, rather than alarmists’ emotional outbursts and empty, disruptive antics — or the increasingly mystical theories of left-wing academics.
