The allegations in the complaint were found to be substantiated, and the funds were proven to have...

Southern California-based Hasan Piker, the communist darling of left-wing livestreaming, resorted to gay insults Tuesday night after being upset his “friend” lost to a gay state senator. SNIP “You know what it is? I know what it is,” Piker responded. “F–ing car-reliant infrastructure. The more cars you have, the more chuddy the f-ing city is. That’s it. No public transit. No f–ing people living close to one another.” SNIP He then made a sudden switch from ranting on public transportation to the gay community in his critique of the West Coast city. “It’s just f–ing rich liberals who just want...

NEWARK, N.J. – As he navigated the crowds in an impromptu appearance at a protest outside the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility, Marxist political influencer Hasan Piker defended figures in the pro-China activist network funded by American Marxist tech millionaire Neville Roy Singham as "wonderful people," while dismissing scrutiny surrounding his Cuba trip. Asked about reporting on Singham's network and its connections to far-left activism, Piker said there is "this environment of suspicion" surrounding Singham and his activities, taking a "sinister shape," but they are "totally above board and totally legal." In recent months, many agitators from the Singham network...

Since October 7, one of the most inconvenient facts in the entire debate has become impossible to ignore: Hamas does not merely tolerate Palestinian civilian suffering—it exploits it, it wants it. Many observers who were previously unaware of this (longstanding Arab "Palestinian" leaderships) reality were confronted with it in 2024 when reporting revealed internal communications from Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. According to the reporting, Sinwar viewed mounting Palestinian casualties and destruction not as a strategic failure, but as a strategic success. The more devastating the war became for Gaza, the greater the international pressure on Israel, the greater the diplomatic...

Adam Hamawy’s past relationship with terrorist mastermind Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman has loomed over his rapid rise in the race to succeed retiring Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ). Their relationship spanned a 1991 road trip the two took together to Detroit, Hamawy’s service as the sheikh’s translator for a press conference in which Abdel-Rahman denied any role in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and Hamawy’s testimony on the sheikh’s behalf at his 1995 trial, where the Islamist leader was convicted of plotting to carry out a campaign of terrorist attacks in New York City. But just one year before Hamawy...

Some might call Hasan Piker a gadfly. Others might call him something else. I'm one of them. Piker, a podcaster, lives for controversy. He has said that America deserved 9--11.

Federal officials have served subpoenas to Marxist political influencer Hasan Piker and CodePink cofounder Susan Medea Benjamin as part of a wider investigation into whether U.S. organizations and leaders violated U.S. laws and sanctions in supporting Cuba’s communist regime, Fox News Digital has learned. Piker and Benjamin are among those caught in a federal inquiry into whether activists who traveled to Cuba in March violated U.S. sanctions laws through the financing, coordination or delivery of goods to Cuba, including potential contacts with Cuban government personnel or entities on the island. The administrative subpoenas were sent to the pair by the...

And finally, new rules. Since yesterday was Israel's birthday, having become a nation on May 14th, 78 years ago, everyone must either wish her a happy birthday or admit they're anti-Semitic. Now, it's everyone's right in a free country to be anti-semitic. But enough with hiding behind Israel or Zionism or Netanyahu. If you think, as so many do now, that when it comes to human rights, Israel is the monster country of all time, you either don't read or you don't care about your own hypocrisy because there are so many worse places. But that's where we are these...

Screencap of YouTube video. People in the left are absolutely frothing at the mouth over the decision by the Virginia Supreme Court that tore down their effort to gerrymander the state. Hasan Piker, an America-hating, self-proclaimed communist and streamer, who Democrats just can’t seem to get enough of, has alsready suggested violent revolution as a fix for the problem. It’s just amazing how political violence has become so normal for people on the left. They just want their way and will do anything to get it. FOX News reports: Leftist streamer calls violent revolution ‘inevitable’ as Democrats explode over Virginia...

Three days before a 31-year-old male stormed the White House Correspondents Dinner, hoping to assassinate President Donald Trump and members of his cabinet, the New York Times published a 35-minute video titled: “‘The Rich Don’t Play by the Rules. So Why Should I?’ Why petty theft might be the new political protest.” In it, a Times editor interviewed two other members of the media aristocracy about the moral code shared by a large swathe of young Americans. That code justifies theft—and even violence—when harnessed to a fashionably left-wing cause. None of the participants—podcasting celebrity Hasan Piker, New Yorker writer Jia...

Piker tells Democrats to be the 'anti-Israel party,' calls Zionism a racist ideologyHasan Piker, the controversial, far-left Twitch streamer known for extreme anti-Zionism rhetoric, sat down with a Jewish publication to challenge the notion that he is antisemitic while suggesting the Democratic Party should be "the anti-Israel party." Piker participated in a video call with the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, which bills itself as a publication "founded to tell the stories about Jewish people and Jewish communities that no other publication would," for an interview published Monday. Piker, who was raised a Muslim, has repeatedly rejected claims he is antisemitic,...

As I spent the evening scouring the internet for information on the assassination attempt last night, I ran across a ton of posts from lefties claiming that it was either staged—a fan favorite—or that the motive might never be known. Hasan Piker was quite angry that people pointed out that he, just the other day, talked about harnessing the left's assassination fantasies as a way to organize followers. That is a fairly common theme in the social media posts of leftists, as are complaints that the various people who have tried to kill Trump don't have good enough aim. And,...

“It is so hard to live ethically in an unethical society.” That lament heard this week from New York Times opinion culture editor Nadja Spiegelman could well be the Democratic Party’s epitaph.

Hasan Piker is an antisemite, a terrorist supporter, and a communist millionaire. He supports violence, up to and including the murder of his political opponents. And Democrats are in love with him. Piker, who makes a living as a Twitch streamer, was brought on by the New York Times for an interview about why stealing from businesses is good and justified. Inevitably, the defense of lawlessness by Piker (and the New York Times) turned to the murder of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson. Piker declared that Thompson was guilty of “social murder,” and that his murder was therefore understandable and possibly...

Is robbing the Louvre a good idea? Left-wing influencer Hasan Piker and New Yorker writer Jia Tolentino did a much-discussed video interview with the New York Times this week on the ethics of theft, and came out four-square in favor of stealing things, including artwork from the Louvre. SNIP When asked about the propriety of hitting up the Louvre, Tolentino heartily endorsed it. Piker explained, “Yeah, I think it’s cool. We gotta get back to cool crimes like that. Bank robberies. Stealing priceless artifacts, things of that nature.”

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. Hamawy, an Egyptian Muslim currently working as a plastic surgeon in New Jersey, has been in the news more recently for his Gaza advocacy, demanding that Israel stop its military campaign against Hamas, and in his recent interview with Hasan Piker, a Turkish social media influencer who...

A recent poll showed current Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who had worked in Cuba with the Marxist Venceremos Brigade trailing Councilwoman Nithya Raman, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. Only 24% of Los Angeles residents approve of the job that Bass is doing, which included the worst wildfires in the city’s history, while 47% disapprove. If disappointed voters replace Bass with an even more extreme version, that will be in line with what happened in New York City where a widely despised former Mayor Bill de Blasio was, after a one term break to make room for...

Edmund Fitton-Brown @EFittonBrown Oh dear. Iskandar323 picked the wrong jurisdiction in which to become one of the world’s leading pro-Hamas propagandists. The #UAE takes a dim view of foreigners who abuse their hospitality by supporting terrorist groups. It would be a pity if the Emiratis learned his identity. Quote WikiBias @WikiBias · Mar 23 Investigations have revealed that Iskandar323, the recently banned editor, who worked to rewrite Jewish history and whitewash the Iranian regime and Hamas, is an English journalist based in the United Arab Emirates. Our eyes are wide open for all others. More to come.
