Keith Olbermann, who has been hired and fired repeatedly over the years for his unsuitable behavior, is still on X pushing BluAnon conspiracy theories that claim Trump wasn’t shot on July 13. The ex-ESPN personality has pushed out one X post after another, claiming there is “no evidence” that Donald Trump was the target of an assassination attempt, according to Fox News. On Sunday, the distempered sports man even advised Donald Trump to “flee,” for some reason. Advice to Trump: Flee. Now. — Keith Olbermann (@KeithOlbermann) July 22, 2024

Just half of all New Yorkers plan to stay in the city over the next five years, and anger over quality of life has skyrocketed since the pandemic — with just 30% saying they’re happy here, according to a damning poll from the The Citizens Budget Commission. The non-profit think tank’s first such post-pandemic survey, released Tuesday, also found that only 37% of New Yorkers thought public safety in their neighborhood was excellent or good, down from 50% six years ago. When asked if they planned to stay in the Big Apple until 2028, only 50% of those surveyed said...

The German government believes if Ukraine loses the war with Russia, a mass exodus of up to ten million migrants will flee the country, particularly into Germany, where the asylum system is already cracking under the pressure of the past decade of open borders policies. Berlin is expecting that approximately ten million more people would leave the country in the event of a Russian victory, with the vast majority heading towards countries in Western Europe, a newspaper report citing parliamentary and security services sources claims.

Four border-busting thugs are freed without bail after kicking two cops around Times Square, and they promptly go into the wind. What a surprise. Who would have dreamed that cop-fighters with no jobs, no community ties - and thus no reason to hang around to face criminal charges that could send them to prison for years - would choose to bolt? Which is what Venezuelan “asylum-seekers” Darwin Gomes, 19; Kelvin Arocha, 19; Wilson Jurez, 21, and Yorman Reveron, 24, seem to have done. They weren’t the only border-busters involved in Saturday night’s West 42nd Street cop beat-down — there were...

Younger Biden recently refused to comply with congressional subpoena, holding press conference in Washington D.C. A new report detailing Hunter Biden’s legal troubles revealed that President Biden's son is worried about his fate if former President Trump returns to the White House. Politico’s Jonathan Lemire reported Wednesday that the younger Biden may be forced to leave the U.S. if Trump is re-elected, amid Republican lawmakers’ investigations into him. The piece stated, "Hunter Biden knows he is in the political crosshairs. In recent conversations with family friends, he has worried that he might have to flee the country if Trump were...

Migrants not happy in Chicago.

Chicago has become so unpleasant that migrants are fleeing back to Venezuela after being dumped in shelters and refused better paying jobs. Since August last year, 20,700 migrants have arrived in Chicago from Texas. The Lone Star State's Governor Greg Abbott sent migrants to Chicago and other Democrat-run cities because of their proud status as 'sanctuary cities.' They offer enhanced protection against detention or deportation for undocumented migrants. Now, Illinois' harsh winters, lack of migrant infrastructure, and ambivalent support from locals has made many people, who undertook the harsh US-Mexico border journey, actually turn around and go back home. Venezuela-born...

Alleged smash and grab thieves fled the premises of a Manhattan Beach, California, jewelry store around lunchtime after a store employee pulled a gun and opened fire. Video of the employee shooting at the alleged thieves last Friday was released within the past few hours and published by ABC 7: KTLA reported the same jewelry store was targeted by smash and grab robbers in August 2014, at which time they were able to “[get] away with some $250,000 worth Rolex watches and diamonds.” They were able to get some merchandise during the October 6 robbery as well, but the amount...

Mayor Eric Adams raged on Friday that the ongoing surge of migrants into the Big Apple has “destroyed” the city — as he delivered his most impassioned plea yet to the Biden administration for help dealing with the flow of immigrants into the city. Hizzoner, who earlier this week blasted the White House for turning its back on NYC, sounded the alarm on the multibillion-dollar cost to the Big Apple budget during a visit Friday to Washington, DC, where he plans to press the administration for federal aid. “The city is being destroyed by the migrant crisis,” a distressed Adams...

A liberal is someone too broad-minded to take his own side in a quarrel. That old joke rushed to mind as I read the results this week of a Quinnipiac University survey indicating that, well, it isn’t really a joke. There are more sunshine patriots in our midst than anyone realized. The pollster asked: What would you do if you were in the same position as Ukrainians are now, stay and fight or leave the country? Shockingly, more than half of Democrats (52%) said they would cut and run if the U.S. homeland were invaded. We aren’t talking about women...

A new Quinnipiac poll released on Monday found that if America was invaded, Republicans and independents would stay and fight — but the majority of Democrats would flee.Quinnipiac reports, “As the world witnesses what is happening to Ukraine, Americans were asked what they would do if they were in the same position as Ukrainians are now: stay and fight or leave the country?”Overall, a 55 percent majority said they would defend the nation, but there was a sharp partisan divide when you look at the responses by party affiliation.“A majority (55 percent) say they would stay and fight, while 38...

The United Nations estimates 150,000 Ukrainian refugees have crossed into neighboring countries, half of them to Poland, and many to Hungary, Moldova, Romania due to the Russian invasion, and that number could easily be in the millions if the situation worsens. “More than 150,000 Ukrainian refugees have now crossed into neighboring countries, half of them to Poland, and many to Hungary, Moldova, Romania, and beyond,” UN refugee chief Filippo Grandi tweeted on Saturday. More than 150,000 Ukrainian refugees have now crossed into neighbouring countries, half of them to Poland, and many to Hungary, Moldova, Romania and beyond. Displacement in Ukraine...

The British government has urged any citizens still in Ukraine to flee if they can or “stay indoors, away from windows” amid a large-scale Russian offensive. Britain’s Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office (FCDO), helmed by Liz Truss MP, has urged citizens “to leave Ukraine immediately if you judge it is safe to do so” in an update to its official travel advice, but warned that it is “likely that commercial routes out of Ukraine will be severely disrupted and roads across Ukraine could be closed” due to the conflict.

The State Department has ordered families of U.S. Embassy personnel in Ukraine to begin evacuating the country as soon as Monday, U.S. officials tell Fox News. Next week, the State Department is also expected to encourage Americans to begin leaving Ukraine by commercial flights, "while those are still available," one official said.Moscow has massed tens of thousands of troops at the border with Ukraine, leading to fears of an invasion.

Former President Trump is ditching his Palm Beach club Mar-a-Lago for the summer, hoping to escape the stifling Floridan summer for the cooler climes of his Garden State golf club. Mar-a-Lago closes just after Memorial Day when most Palm Beach residents leave the muggy weather for the Hamptons or Europe, but the weather isn’t the only reason Trump wants to head north for a few months, according to Insider. “They’re moving the whole operation to New Jersey because they’re going to start doing more fundraising,” one Trump advisor told the site. Trump said this week he is “beyond seriously” considering...

The former EDL leader said he was looking into permanently relocating his family after an alleged arson attack on his wife's property a few weeks ago. Mr Robinson is thought to be in Spain after he told his followers he would be unable to attend a protest in the UK if he returned due to a change in quarantine rules. Many Twitter users have mocked Mr Robinson for seeking shelter overseas given his strong pro-Brexit and anti-immigration views. In a video shared online, he said he fled the country in his car and accepted an offer of a place to...

“Escape from New York” is a 1980s film that takes place in a dystopian world of crime and violence. The science fiction movie portrays crime running rampant across the country — forcing the island of Manhattan to be reconfigured into a maximum-security prison. When the president of the United States crash-lands on the island, forces are deployed to get him out. Although the situation in present day New York has not devolved to that level, residents are becoming increasingly determined to leave. According to recent U.S. Census and IRS data, a net 180,000 people fled the state in 2018 — the largest...

I grew up in New Jersey. Morris County to be exact. Don’t get me wrong. I loved living there, but the taxes were immense. And by my senior year of college, my father had enough. They exited to the collar counties around Philadelphia, where the property tax burden was considerably less. Pennsylvania isn’t exactly a red state, especially where my parents live—it’s roughly 50-50 Democratic to Republican—but it’s sure better than the Garden State’s politics. In Pennsylvania, there’s a Republican legislature and if the state party could actually find a sentient being to run for governor, that person could win....

PALM BEACH, Fla. — President Donald Trump filed the paperwork to change his official residence from New York City to Palm Beach. Trump filed in September with the Palm Beach County Circuit Court changing his primary residence from Trump Tower to Mar-a-Lago, his resort in Palm Beach.
