NYC Now has a $4.4 billion shoplifting economy. Theft is so rampant, retailers are forced to make tough choices... Cash takes a serious look at stores starting to flee the big apple. The fall of a once great city. And one shining mall in the city is now completely vacant due in most part to shoplifting and violent crime.

Here’s the newest example of how New York City is in favor of violent crime. In Manhattan, a 30-year-old man named Jean Carlos Zarzuela punched a 54-year-old woman so hard that he broke her nose.Zarzuela was arrested for that, but Manhattan Judge Laurie Peterson released him without bail.Four days after Judge Peterson released Zarzuela without bail, he punched a 9-year-old girl in the head.This is yet even more proof that New York City is in favor of violent crime.

Prayer request for my injured Mom. My 84 yr old Mom fell last night while away traveling with my youngest sister and injured (broke) her hip. After driving hours back home in the middle of the night they got to the ER around 1:30AM. The xrays show the hip is badly broken. She has been admitted to the hospital, is on pain meds and awaiting surgery. Surgery will be either today or tomorrow - not sure when yet - waiting on the surgeon. Please pray for a full recovery and for surgery to go great - NO problems. Would really...

Reporting from Western New York: gas price at my local gas station jumped $0.13 in the last 24 hours. I've never seen a hike that fast. Is anyone else seeing the same thing? I already see gold prices shooting up. Is this gas price? Starting to catch up to it now?

Starting with Tucker Carlson’s adulatory interview with Vladimir Putin, people asked a question: “Was Fox News, rather than acting as an ugly censor when it came to Tucker, actually preventing the world from seeing his worst ideas?” That question takes on new power when it comes to Tucker’s latest interview with Munther Isaac, a Christian pastor living in Bethlehem. The gist of the interview is that Hamas is good and Israel (because Christians have been killed as a byproduct of war) is evil. Tucker, by promoting this view, has fallen into a terrible moral fallacy…or revealed himself to be a...

By KIMBERLY LEONARD 04/06/2024 09:38 PM EDT HOLLYWOOD, Florida — Ron DeSantis is making nice with his most loyal donors and, at least over the weekend, ignored Donald Trump. During a retreat in South Florida for the governor’s donors that featured golf, cigars and spa time, and little mention of the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee, DeSantis thanked and wooed the people who most avidly supported his presidential run. Part of the weekend was also to brainstorm how he could keep Florida front and center in the conservative movement with more than 2 and a half years left as governor. Robert...

The world has been fed a simple, black-and-white narrative of good vs. evil in the war between Ukraine and Russia...But while simple narratives are good at building support for new wars, they're not so great at telling the whole truth.What is the truth about Volodymyr Zelenskyy? We've spent over a year finding out.Episode 1 of "Zelenskyy Unmasked" starts now..(16 minute and 42 second video below)https://twitter.com/Truth_InMedia/status/1775893706631270487

"The stablecoin market is over $150 billion today and is forecasted to exceed $2.8 trillion by 2028," Ripple said in a statement shared with CoinDesk.

The stablecoin will be deployed onto Ripple's institution-focused XRP Ledger along...

I finally felt at peace

Ready your megaphones!

Fifty years ago tonight after a nine-month gestation I was decanted from my mother's womb. I very nearly didn't survive. When I came out I wasn't breathing or moving at all. It was twelve minutes before inhalation was finally induced. Some have wondered if I've been brain damaged because of that. I don't know. But here I am fifty years later, feeling better than when I turned thirty. God has brought me far, past a lot of dark times and pain. But I'm in a place where I'm truly thankful and looking forward to where the next fifty years take...

Do you ever hear about a new movie like the Road House remake starring Jake Gyllenhaal, assume it’s terrible, mentally prepare your vicious takedown of it — and then watch it? And it’s actually. . . good? I’d been so sure of my plan to see it, hate it, and slam it in a review. Another remake in an endless stream of them, for one thing. And the old 1989 Road House has a special place in the action film pantheon, because it’s so delightfully god-awful it takes on a kind of Mystery Science Theater 3000 delirium. It’s a surreal...

Liz Cheney spearheads the assault on Donald Trump via the J6 committee, alleging his intent to incite a revolution on January 6th. However, emerging revelations expose her complicity in questionable dealings, including tampering with Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony.

Now it's time for our new feature, Loathe Island. It's a bit like Love Island except it's for people we hate and basically what you're going to do is banish them to an island where they all have to slither around together until they all die.

Democrat Party media hacks flipping out for being called out as the anti-Israel haters they are. As they use Hamas numbers, trash Netanyahu, and back Biden’s horrendous war on Israel. How dare Trump or anyone notice such flagrant and grotesque behavior by these frauds.Dana Bash and the other narcissistic media Democrats must be called out for what they’re doing and saying. Never Again must anyone be intimidated into silence while they spew their disgusting poison. No more. No more 1940s New York Times-like betrayal of the Jews by media self-haters.https://mediaite.com/news/cnns-dana-bash-unflinchingly-rips-trump-anti-semitic-and-incredibly-dangerous-comment-about-jews-calling-it-what-it-is

As tens of millions of Americans routinely carry guns when they travel, some are bound to be stolen by thieves. A passenger who recently traveled through Atlanta believes he is the victim of such a theft. From fox5atlanta.com: “I said, ‘What happened?’ She said, ‘Your bag is delayed.’ I said, ‘What do you mean, delay?’ She said, ‘It didn’t make the flight.;”The gun owner says a helpful Delta agent in Fort Lauderdale told him the airline map indicated the gun was still in Atlanta.But once he returned to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Sunday, that story changed.“He goes to type...

An official new study has confirmed that men who receive the Covid vaccine will tragically suffer a 24-year loss in their life expectancy. Scientists have analyzed the official data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the UK government to determine the long-term harms of mRNA jabs. The study aimed to weigh the balance of risk for the vaccines by calculating how long the negative side effects of mRNA vaccines take to reduce over time after a person receives each dose. Disturbingly, researchers found that the damage doesn’t lessen over time but, instead, increases with each...

For my sins, over the years I've suffered through countless Joe Scarborough rants. In recent times, Donald Trump has, of course, been Scarborough's favorite target. But for sheer anger and vitriol, it would be hard to match Scarborough's tirade against Benjamin Netanyahu at the opening of today's Morning Joe. Scarborough attacked Netanyahu for purposes of defending Chuck Schumer's shocking speech on the Senate floor yesterday, calling for regime change in Israel and the ejection of Netanyahu as Israeli Prime Minister. Scarborough had the chutzpah to depict himself as the virtual True Defender of Israel, a veritable modern-day Judah Maccabee. He...
