  • NYC Mayor Eric Adams begs Albany for $1.1B more to combat migrant crisis — and says Big Apple needs it in 12 weeks

    Mayor Eric Adams begged state lawmakers on Tuesday to fork over another $1.1 billion to deal with the migrant crisis ASAP — even though the governor isn’t budging. Hizzoner said the Big Apple needs the dough in 12 weeks as Adams’ opponents quickly questioned how City Hall cooked up the massive number on its wish list. But Adams was adamant that the city — which he said spent more than $6.9 billion during the years-long migrant crisis — relied on the money, despite him also crowing about his administration’s “savings” and steps to reduce the number of migrants in the...

    Likely Dem primary voters in the upcoming mayoral election overwhelmingly say New York City is in crisis — with nearly half saying that if things get any worse, they may leave, a dismal new survey shows. The pessimism is broad and deep. Eighty percent of the respondents say they are worried about the current level of crime, while 75% believe their city is in a state of crisis, and 70% are “fearful and anxious” about its future, according to the poll by Democratic strategists with the Honan Strategy Group.

  • Trump conveys ‘serious’ and ‘firm’ desire to acquire Greenland in call with Danish PM: ‘Danes now in crisis mode’

    President Trump had a “firm” phone conversation with Denmark’s prime minister last week to convey his serious intentions of acquiring Greenland, according to a report citing officials privy to the talk. Trump has been aggressive in his desire to make Greenland a US territory to bolster national security in the Arctic region — and has even refused to rule out using “military force” to get it. The Danish government, which has ownership of the largest island in the world, has said Greenland is not for sale and will not be a part of the US. Trump’s conversation with Danish PM...

    The following video features an interview with James Simpson, the author of Manufactured Crisis: The War to End America. Mr. Simpson’s book — and his conversation with Vlad — focuses on the efforts of socialists and communists to subvert American institutions by exacerbating crises within them — or creating crises if none are immediately available to exploit. The pattern of crisis-generation involves two clashing ideological viewpoints — the classical Hegelian dialectic — which can only be resolved by applying the “solution” offered by Marxist ideologues. In particular, Mr. Simpson and Vlad highlight the Cloward-Piven strategy, which was formulated more than...

    Amid an escalating bird flu outbreak spreading in the United States, federal health officials have begun to brief members of the incoming Trump administration about how they’ve responded to the crisis so far. “We sent them all of the information on our work,” said a Biden administration health official familiar with transition briefings within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It’s the first indication that the two administrations appear to be working together to prioritize the H5N1 response. Until now, it was unclear whether the Biden White House and Trump’s incoming health team had discussed bird flu in any...

    California residents have long been struggling with insurance companies that no longer want to protect their homes, and thousands of policies — including around 1,600 in the now-devastated Pacific Palisades neighborhood — were dropped in the months leading up to this week’s wildfires. Out of the approximately 8,900 occupied housing units in Los Angeles’s Pacific Palisades, nearly 80 percent are owner-occupied, according to 2022 U.S. Census data obtained by Point2Homes. State Farm dropped a staggering 1,600 home insurance policies in the neighborhood in July, equivalent to about 18 percent of the owner-occupied homes, California Department of Insurance (CDI) spokesman Michael...

    American credit card defaults have risen to the highest levels since the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis as consumers grapple with years of high inflation. Credit card lenders wrote off $46 billion in delinquent loan balances in the first three quarters of 2024, a 50 percent increase from the same period last year. These forms of write-offs are are viewed as a highly monitored measure of loan distress. This is the highest level since 2010, according to industry data gathered by BankRegData. Mark Zandi, the head of Moody’s Analytics, said, “High-income households are fine, but the bottom third of...

    New York City’s biggest overtime hogs for a second straight year are mostly rank-and-file workers responsible for tackling the Big Apple’s $6 billion-plus migrant crisis, The Post has learned. Fifty-one of the 100 city employees who racked up the most OT during the fiscal year ending June 30 work at the Departments of Social Services and Homeless Services, and their duties include assisting migrants, an examination of city payroll records shows. Each worker accumulated at least 1,851 hours in extra pay. Leading the way was Kashwayne Burnett, a DSS bookkeeper who worked 3,303 hours of overtime in the agency’s Manhattan...

    A New Jersey congressman suggested that the mystery drones over the Garden State are Iranian, and they’re coming from a mothership parked off the East Coast. Rep. Jeff Van Drew, a Republican, said the drones “very possibly could be” from Iran, citing confidential sources during an appearance on Fox News Wednesday morning. “These drones should be shot down,” he said, adding that “the military is on full alert with this.” He did not reveal where he got the information. Van Drew, whose district includes most of the Jersey Shore, sits on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. “I’m going to...

    On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) stated that he can protect certain illegal immigrants because “We’ve done it already” with how they handled the surge of migrants to the city, which was better than any other city. Adams said that while the sanctuary city law has gone too far in some cases, “[W]e’re telling our residents here, if you have children, put them in school. If you need medical care, our medical facilities will do so. If you’re a victim of a crime, you don’t have to be afraid to go to...

  • It’s All About Control: The Elite Plan for the Great Food Reset

    American Thinker ^ | 3 Nov, 2024 | Janet Levy
    By getting governments to over-regulate farming, elite oligarchs like Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab aim to take control over food production in the name of sustainability. Besides ‘degrowth’ and ‘net zero,’ one other dangerous buzz phrase being bandied about by proponents of the Great Reset is “nature-positive food systems.” The stated goal of moving to new food systems is to reduce nitrogen emissions, livestock production, and meat consumption. This is to be achieved by consuming plant-based products, lab-grown foods, and insects (as a source of protein). The moot question, however, is whether such a change is at all necessary? The...

    Donald Trump's got a lady problem: Most women are siding with Kamala Harris. And in the final days of this impossibly close race, even as the former president takes a slight lead in the national polls for the first time ever, you'd think he'd shift his pitch to the chicks with the yips. Nope. At a rally in Wisconsin on Wednesday, your friendly neighborhood garbage-man wearing a bright orange reflective vest said: 'Whether the women like it or not, I am going to protect them.' Geez, Donald. Can you soften it a smidge? Rather than shoring up the shaky female...

    PITTSBURGH — Mark Cuban admitted Saturday that the Biden-Harris administration should have acted “sooner” to fix the border crisis — while he was stumping for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in Pittsburgh. “I would have handled immigration differently,” the business mogul said on the campaign trail on behalf of the Democratic presidential nominee. “And honestly, I think if they could do it all over again — and they won’t say it necessarily — they would handle it differently as well.”

    Humanity has thrown the global water cycle off balance “for the first time in human history,” fueling a growing water disaster that will wreak havoc on economies, food production and lives, according to a landmark new report. Decades of destructive land use and water mismanagement have collided with the human-caused climate crisis to put “unprecedented stress” on the global water cycle, said the report published Wednesday by the Global Commission on the Economics of Water, a group of international leaders and experts. The water cycle refers to the complex system by which water moves around the Earth. Water evaporates from...

    The U.S., Israel, and the world are “better” and “safer” without Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, according to Israeli Knesset Member Simcha Rothman who criticized the Biden-Harris administration for delaying Israel’s entry into Rafah, arguing that if the terror chief had been eliminated five months earlier the suffering in Gaza could have been reduced and hostages might already be home, as he urged for a greater respect toward Israel’s strategy. In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News on Thursday, Knesset Constitution, Law and Justice Committee Chairman Simcha Rothman of Israel’s Religious Zionist party hailed the death of Yahya Sinwar, the October...

Jared Polis (D), who is also a Harris-Walz Surrogate, stated that “Some people say that, because immigrants are less likely to commit crimes, that the fact that there [are] more immigrants is one of the reasons that crime went down” in Aurora, but the influx of migrants to the state “is one of the reasons I’m so excited about Kamala Harris” because she has a plan to fix the crisis on the border. Polis said, “I have, of course, met with ICE and the FBI, both of them have field offices...

And there was one scene in the film where the cartel is cutting through the fence, and I’m face to face with them. And first...

    Tren De Aragua, or TDA, is notorious for their "brutal violence and murder.".. Chicago gang members and ex-convicts are warning of coming violent turf wars with newly arrived Venezuelan migrants who are part of the notorious gang Tren De Aragua, or TDA. Not unlike other cities across the country, Chicago has been inundated with migrants as the border crisis rages on. Since 2022, an estimated 48,000 migrants have come to the city, with the majority of new migrant arrivals hailing from Venezuela. “When the black gangs here get fed up with the illegalities and criminal activities of these migrants or...
