New York City, where the media insists crime is down, experienced another grim milestone with the 15th person pushed into the subway tracks so far this year. Saritha Komatireddy, who is running for New York State Attorney General on a public safety platform, tweeted that, “This is the fifteenth subway push this year. A 70-year-old woman was just shoved onto the subway tracks by a stranger who walked up behind her at a station in Midtown Manhattan.” The perpetrator was a ‘parolee’, the type of criminals whom pro-crime officials like Gov. Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James have fought for...

The group of radical female congresswomen who call themselves “the Squad” was supposed to be a triumph for feminism, but behind the scenes they serve as meal tickets for very shady men. The latest scandal involving the “Squad Husbands” was the dead body of a teenage girl turning up in a house owned by Conan Harris: the husband of Squad member Rep. Ayanna Pressley. Yoseliani “Liani” Marte, 18, was found shot and killed in a Boston home owned by Harris, who was already in the middle of a scandal over his company scoring a $2 billion contract to build a...

Last year, a bipartisan group of members of Congress introduced H.Res.776: a resolution expressing concern about the persecution of Coptic Christians under Egypt’s Islamic regime. The resolution has only picked up 8 cosponsors and has yet to make it out of committee. By contrast, 103 House Democrats voted in favor of the Massie amendment to cut aid to Israel out of H. R. 8595 which also apportions $1.4 billion to Egypt and $1.6 billion to Jordan. Meanwhile an amendment to zero out the $1.4 billion in military aid to Egypt never even made it out of the House Rules Committee...

The BBC ran a story about Afghan men selling daughters as young as five years old into the sex slavery known as Islamic marriage. Rather than blaming the Koran and the example set by Islam’s pedophile founder Mohammed who married his most prominent ‘wife’ Aisha at the tender age of seven, the radical state media outlet instead blamed the Trump administration. The BBC complained that “the US – once the top donor to Afghanistan – cut nearly all aid to the country last year” without explaining that the aid was cut because the money was going through the UN to...

It never had their backs in the first place. The nomination of open Hamas supporters by the Democratic Party has led to another round of American Jewish liberals bemoaning their abandonment by the party and the movement despite that time they marched with MLK. But the Democratic Party didn’t abandon the Jews, it never stood with them in the first place. When was the Democratic Party ever friendly to Jews? Was it the antisemitism of New Deal litigation that targeted Jews in the Shechter chicken case or when FDR told Stalin that he might give the Saudi regime “the six...

Nearly 250 years ago, the United States tried negotiating with Islamic pirate states to stop the capture of American ships and the enslavement of Americans. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams all learned the painful lesson that the negotiations were a trap. Treaties would be signed, agreements would be reached and would soon be broken because Muslims could freely lie to ‘infidels’ and had a religious obligation to wage war on them. “The precept of the Koran is perpetual war against all who deny that Mahomet is the prophet of God,” Adams summed it up. “The command to propagate...

The Mamdani regime in New York City has already been making noises about moving on this sort of thing, and now the LA County Board of Supervisors is following suit. People will call this socialism but in some ways this is worse. They’re not just proposing a government takeover of private property, what they’re proposing to do is to use government power and taxpayer money to seize private property and turn it over to their political allies who will run ‘community groups’. This is fundamentally no different than politicians using eminent domain to seize property and transfer it to their...

Over the last two weeks, the reflecting pool at the Lincoln Memorial has been mentioned over 600 times in various news media outlets. During the same period, the Islamic terrorist massacres of Christians in Nigeria have only been mentioned around 40 times. Why is the status of the algae in the reflecting pool more important than the lives of dozens of human beings? Part of the answer may lie in the inconvenient truth about who is doing the killing in Nigeria and who is being killed, but the other is Trump Derangement Syndrome in liquid form. The renovation of the...

Ugly, but all too real. The Mamdani machine continues delivering in New York City with new ‘Squad’ members who make Omar seem moderate including one who celebrated Oct 7 and called for ‘Death to America’ getting the nod. That makes them all but inevitable members of the next House at the expense of Latino and Jewish mainstream Democrats. That includes Brad Lander, Mamdani’s pet ‘Jewish’ weasel, who was caught reciting Islamic scripture in a mosque that called for the killing of infidels. That includes Dariazila Avila Chevalier, a Muslim convert who co-founded an organization that tweeted ‘Death to America’. It...

Oh no, they’re threatening us with a good time again. California government workers, like a lot of federal, state and other workers, haven’t actually been working since the pandemic. Or rather they’ve been ‘working from home’ which is to say working even less than usual. Now, California is considering asking them to go back to the office four days a week. And SEIU, a radical union that represents government workers, among other useless people, is pulling out all the stops and warning of a ‘mass exodus’. “Since COVID we have been working and doing the jobs and being efficient and...

People are still asking Hillary Clinton what she thinks about things largely because, like Genghis Khan and Keanu Reeves, she has name recognition, even if she doesn’t have anything else. David Remnick, the editor who destroyed the New Yorker, asked Hillary Clinton at the 92nd Street Y (unless you’re a New Yorker, you won’t get it anyway) if Biden made a mistake by running. Political pot meet Clinton kettle. Asked by Remnick whether Biden made a “terrible mistake” by running in 2024, Clinton responded, “He made a terrible mistake. He made a terrible mistake for himself, his legacy and for...

Between the Islamists and the Throuples, they don't have a choice. Considering the ‘throuples’ on the pronoun people side of the axis and the Islamists on the other side of their base, they don’t really have much choice, do they? Gallup had a breakdown of a slight conservative shift on some moral issues that pollsters had been noticing over the last 5 years or so. People are suddenly less fond of gambling, having babies out of wedlock and teenagers having sex. The differences in percentage points aren’t huge, but they reflect what I had long suspected that we were due...

"When you embrace somebody for the job, you really want to embrace a winner" Ouch. Willie Brown made Kamala, gave her positions, introduced her to donors and moved her through the political system. It probably helped that Kamala, unlikely presumably Gavin Newsom, was his ‘side piece’. Now with Kamala polling behind AOC in a hypothetical Dem presidential primary, Willie just dumped her. Politically at any rate.

How does the third place candidate win the majority of late arriving ballots? Last time around, Karen Bass lost the mayoral election both rounds and then won it with ‘late arriving ballots’. The way the game is being played this time is even sleazier with an attempt to knock out Spencer Pratt, who finished second on Election Night, in the first round with a whole lot of ‘late arriving ballots’ for the third place candidate, Nithya Raman. It’s not remotely credible for a third place candidate who finished on Election Night in the twenties to be picking up 40% of...

"The group's leadership repeatedly expressed support for the terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah." Year after year, Toronto police have allowed Muslim pro-terrorist mobs to invade and harass the Jewish community. Now, PM Mark Carney has declared that there is a “scourge of antisemitism” and plans to combat it with a DEI council. To that end, the Prime Minister, Mark Carney, today announced the launch and membership of Canada’s new Ministerial Advisory Council on Rights, Equality, and Inclusion to be chaired by the Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture. The Council has a clear mission: to combat racism and hate in...

The police source said they “got fed and we didn’t”.The Australian government made the decision to import ISIS people, described as ‘brides’ of ISIS terrorists, to Australia at the urging of some figures in our government with links to the Turkish Islamist regime. (I wrote about this insanity last year.)And PM Anthony Albanese (above), who never met an Islamic terrorist he wouldn’t pander to, is giving them the best possible treatment. Speaking on claims the ISIS-linked cohort were fed pizza, the police source said they “got fed and we didn’t”.The terrorists always come first. A federal government source, who spoke...

On Monday, the European Union announced sanctions on Israelis, including Daniella Weiss, the 80-year-old former mayor of a Jewish community in Judea and Samaria, and on Tuesday, it invited the Taliban, an Islamic terrorist group allied with Al Qaeda, to come to Brussels for talks. “Extremisms and violence carry consequences,” EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas warned Israel. Obviously. And the consequence of extremism and violence is an invite to Brussels.At least if you’re a Muslim terrorist. Over the last decade, Islamic terrorists associated with ISIS, an Al Qaeda splinter group, have killed over 34 people in two bombing, four...

Two weeks ago, Freedom Center Investigates ran a blockbuster story exposing the troubling background of Adam Hamawy. a New Jersey congressional candidate, who had testified at the Blind Sheikh’s trial. In 1995, ‘Adam’ Hisham Hamawy testified for the defense in the trial of Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman: the Egyptian Islamic terror leader linked to the World Trade Center bombing. Now, Hamawy is running for Congress in New Jersey while promising to defund the military, abolish ICE, and dismantle the Department of Homeland Security. The Sheikh’s supporters carried out terrorist attacks across Egypt. Others were responsible for the World Trade Center...

Lewiston is ground zero for the Somali Muslim presence in Maine. And it shows. The Lewiston Police Department has released surveillance footage of a gunman in Lewiston opening fire. The video is of the second of two shootings in four days near a mosque on Bartlett Street. Lewiston police say it’s an area with a high volume of shootings over the past year. What might be attracting these unknown shooters to the area? Besides the mosque? Several witnesses told police a young, black male across the street fired multiple rounds from a handgun toward the Maine Immigrant and Refugee Services...

Allah may have to go back to Afghanistan. The local media has done its best for him. The newspapers in upstate New York argue that it’s been years since he stabbed anyone and since then he’s been keeping busy selling Halal food. Also he’s a refugee. The trouble began when Allah and Mohammed (full name: Waheed Allah Mohammad) stabbed his sister. His sister was looking to move to New York City and was waiting on a ride. Allah decided that she wasn’t a good Muslim girl, got a knife from his car and started stabbing her. Later, the Afghan refugee...
