Former NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo shockingly conceded to upstart democratic socialist Zohrab Mamdani in Tuesday’s Democratic Primary Election for the next mayor of New York City.

In a rambling, conspiratorial letter addressed to the FBI, alleged assassin Vance Boelter claimed Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz instructed him to kill U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar so that Walz could run for the U.S. Senate, according to two people familiar with the contents of the letter. The letter is the clearest evidence yet of Boelter’s mindset after the targeted violence against Minnesota politicians last week. It is incoherent, one and a half pages long, confusing and hard to read, according to two people familiar with the letter’s contents. It includes Boelter alleging he had been trained by the U.S. military...

Video Presentation about current Maine Game Warden Sergeant who is being persecuted by the Maine Fish and Game Commissioner, a Governor Janet Mills Democrat Liberal Appointee. The commissioner's stated goal is to have 50% of Maine Game Warden jobs filled by women, whether or not they are qualified, and whether or not they can perform their work up to the standards of the Maine Warden Service. The commissioner is spending thousands of Maine taxpayer dollars on supporting the LBGTQ agenda, via state paid merchandise and promotional events, and persecuting Maine Game Warden supervisors who do not tow her All Liberal...

Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson England is done for. A man was confronted by police for saying “speak English” to someone who mumbled. They’re labeled it as hate crime. Total insanity. From End Wokeness 11:25 PM · Apr 16, 2025

A federal judge said the Trump administration must lift their freeze on federal funding to Maine. The ruling reads that the USDA "must immediately unfreeze and release to the state of Maine any federal funding that they have frozen or failed or refused to pay because of the state of Maine's alleged failure to comply with the requirements of Title IX." The administration is also "barred from freezing, terminating, or otherwise interfering with the state of Maine's future federal funding for alleged violations of Title IX without complying with the legally required procedure." The USDA announced the funding freeze and...

Author JK Rowling has described the decision to kick a toddler out of nursery after they were accused of transphobia or homophobia as “totalitarian insanity”. The child, aged either three or four, was suspended from a state school three years ago for “abuse against sexual orientation and gender identity,” Department for Education data revealed this week. Details of the specific school or the case during the 2022/23 academic term were not disclosed by the DfE. However, it appears that this is not an isolated case. Retweeting a MailOnline article about the case, the Harry Potter author wrote: “This is totalitarian...

That's where they think their right to rule us comes from. “A superiority complex is a defense mechanism that develops to help a person cope with feelings of inferiority. It involves exaggerated beliefs about one’s own achievements or abilities leading to behaviors such as being boastful, vain, or unwilling to listen to others. The term was coined by Alfred Adler as part of his school of individual psychology.” (Wikipedia) The above definition describes former President Joe Biden to a tee. In fact, it describes his entire family. It describes his entire circle of pals, that cabal that lied to the...

A bite-sized chunk of my big-picture piece from Quadrant has now been excerpted in Australia's national newspaper, The Australian: The biggest story of our time is that the entirety of the western world is sliding off the cliff – and most citizens of the west are not even aware of it, and have no desire to be made aware of it. In that respect, I envy them. It is comforting to paddle one's canoe and insist that the ever louder roaring sound from up ahead is the crowd at a Taylor Swift gig and not Niagara Falls. To be sure,...

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston wants to add a 20% service charge to local restaurant tabs — and then tax it — to help restaurants cope with the city’s minimum wage and promote what he called pay equity among tipped and non-tipped employees. On Monday, Johnston told City Cast Denver, a popular podcast, that he has already been discussing the idea with restaurant owners. He didn’t say whether they are on board. He also did not discuss if increasing people's dinner costs would decrease restaurant visits. Johnston has incurred the ire of some local restauranteurs, who this month penned a letter...

In Britain under moonbat rule, basic public safety is sacrificed for the sake of pandering obsequiously to the Islamic colonists the government has imported to displace the native population yet again: Police released a mugshot of a woman convicted of terrorism offences wearing a niqab – after she complained an earlier custody image showed her without a head covering. The niqab hides her face, completely defeating the purpose of the mugshot. But the proper mugshot caused her “distress” according to her lawyer. Jurors heard Farishta Jami, 36, had been preparing to travel to Afghanistan with her children, planning for them...

The Democratic National Committee’s new vice-chairman likes to style himself as anti-gun activist. But he is far more dangerous than that.

Costco is increasing its pay to more than $30 an hour for hundreds of thousands of workers, with clerks at the top of the retailer's pay scale set to make almost $32 an hour in March. Costco — which employs 272,000 people across the United States and in Canada — says its workers will soon receive hourly increases of 50 cents to one dollar, continuing its strategy of keeping ahead of the competition when it comes to worker compensation.

The ACF – which awaits a decision on its own waiver request from EPA, expected in the remaining days before the end of the Biden administration – is a similar set of runways and regulations to move the state’s truck fleet toward ZEVs. But the ACF is targeted at vehicle buyers, not manufacturers. The ACT technically went into effect on Jan. 1, 2024. But enforcement was put on hold while the waiver request made its way through the EPA. The degree of attention that the ACT has been getting nationally stems from the numerous states that have decided to follow...

How does a man end up in a women's prison in California? Thanks to progressives in the state legislature, all it takes is for the man to declare himself a woman. Three years ago, Democrats enacted Senate Bill 132, also known as "The Transgender Respect, Agency and Dignity Act." As one prosecutor explains, the law requires no medical transition, no psychological evaluation, and no other medical assessment. What happens when this law gets put into effect in prisons? Pretty much what everyone would expect. Tremaine Carroll impregnated one fellow inmate after declaring himself a woman and then allegedly raped two...

Yale psychiatrist Dr. Amanda Calhoun went on "The View" to say "if you are going into a situation where you have family members, where you have close friends, who you know have voted in ways that are against you, against your livelihood, it's completely fine to not be around those people and to tell them why." View co-host Sunny Hostin vociferously agreed, saying "it's a moral issue. If a family member or a friend voted for Hitler it's okay to denounce them. They are the traitors who put their own selfish interests ahead of yours. They don't deserve to be...

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough said Monday on “Morning Joe” that “white progressives” who had been “spouting extreme positions” have been setting up the Democratic Party party to lose. Scarborough said, “It was true in ’17, and it was doubly true in 2024, that these white progressives on the far, far left said, ‘We’re going to save you, black and Hispanic people of America.’ A lot of black and hispanic people of America say, ‘No thanks. you’re kind of wild. You’re too far left. We believe in the American dream. We want to be part of the American dream. Thanks but...
