9/11 didn’t destroy New York City. 11/04 will. The largest city in America has fallen. The world’s financial capital will henceforth be run by a communist. What could go wrong? What has always gone wrong, throughout history—with no exception—when Marxists/Communists run a city, state, or nation. That’s what could go wrong. The incentivization of sloth and dependency, the degradation of production and commerce, the collapse of the economy, the resulting lack of goods and services, the utter destruction of the middle class, the diminution of liberty, and the evisceration of moral character. For starters. I have long warned Republicans and...

Will & Grace actress Debra Messing has courted backlash after sharing on election day a political meme suggesting that New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is a "jihadist." As Americans headed to the polls Tuesday, the 57-year-old Emmy winner reposted an image on her verified Instagram Story from another account called The Persian Jewess. The original image showed an edited ballot that listed two candidates: One that read, "A Democrat. Just a Democrat," and the other that said, "An actual communist jihadist. A literal Karl Marx-quoting, America-hating jihadist."

The State Department on Monday officially updated its designation for Nigeria as a "Country of Particular Concern" for its alleged severe violations of religious freedom and persecution of Christians. The CPC label is given by the U.S. government to nations "engaged in severe violations of religious freedom" under the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 ...

The coalition government of center-right Christian Democrats and Christian Social Union (CDU/CSU) and center-left Social Democrats (SPD), which has been in office since May 2025, is aiming to significantly increase the number of people who have been ordered to leave the country in the campaign they are calling a "repatriation offensive." However, the political and media debate has tended to focus on a different word: deportations. The dispute over deportations to Syria, a country devastated by a long civil war, shows just how difficult this undertaking is — and just how divergent opinions are, even among the two conservative Christian...

Britain’s post colonial reckoning can be summed up in a single sentence delivered last June at the Glastonbury music festival when rapper duo Bob Vylan shouted “You want your country back? You’re not getting it back!” to an overwhelmingly white, middle-class audience roaring its approval. The message was unmistakable: Britain has been colonized – and its dominant culture not only accepts, but celebrates, it. Britain’s transformation has been driven not by invasion, but by invitation. The country’s population, political culture and national cohesion has been radically reshaped by immigration – one wave in the 1950s, driven by post-World War Two...

Radical Islam has made its way into America. It is already here, and it is spreading. America cannot be consumed by it.The terror attacks of Sept. 11 forever changed New York City and the United States of America. It’s hard to believe that 24 years after the attack, New York City may elect a Ugandan-born Islamist mayor who openly campaigned with an “unindicted co-conspirator” in the first World Trade Center terrorist attack. As a veteran of the war in Afghanistan, I feel compelled to share my firsthand experience with radical Islam and warn America that Zohran Mamdani’s candidacy is a...

They've been charged with receiving, transferring and attempting to receive and transfer firearms knowing and having reasonable cause to believe that they would be used to commit terrorism.

I doubt most people realize that Nigeria, located in West Africa, is the world’s sixth most populous country, with around 213.5 million people. Over 53% of the population is Muslim. That’s never a good thing for the remaining population in a country, because Muslims do not believe in pluralism. Lately, Nigeria’s Muslims have been on a rampage, slaughtering Christians left and right. President Trump announced yesterday that the U.S. will intervene and will do so aggressively if necessary. Democrats were unimpressed—they don’t believe there’s a genocide—but Nigeria’s president, having first rejected the demand, just announced his willingness to accept the...

Shabana Mahmood, an Islamist politician who wanted to outlaw any discussion of Islamic violence as ‘Islamophobia’, was appointed to head security by the Starmer regime, has warned “I urge people to avoid comment and speculation at this early stage.”

President Donald Trump warned that if the Nigerian government continued to allow Christians in the country to be killed, the United States military “may very well” go into Nigeria “guns-a-blazing.” In a post on Truth Social, Trump instructed the Department of War to “prepare for possible action,” adding that if the U.S. does attack, “it will be fast, vicious, and sweet.” Trump also threatened to “stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria” if the Nigerian government continues to allow the killing of Christians. “If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all...

It's time to confront an uncomfortable truth: unchecked Islamic expansion poses an existential threat to Western civilization. Islam operates less as a religion and more as a totalitarian ideology cloaked in faith, demanding submission while rejecting assimilation. This "religion of intolerance" fosters violence and cultural conquest, exploiting democratic openness to erode the very freedoms that enable it. Islam is the world's fastest-growing faith -- surging by 347 million adherents from 2010 to 2020 alone, outpacing all others combined. Action is imperative to safeguard our heritage. By 2050, Muslims will number nearly 2.8 billion, comprising 30% of the global population, up...

What do the following all have in common? Ilhan Omar Pramila Jayapal Zohran Mamdani Rashida Tlaib They're all foreign born and they all hate America. In the past immigrants came to this country with only the promise of opportunity. They were not promised economic support, SNAP or food stamps. They toiled long and hard. They assimilated into the American fabric. My parents were part of that. Now an alarming trend is ongoing. It is the election of foreign born to government. Foreigners are coming here solely for the freedom and the economic support. Worse, they refuse to assimilate. Some, as...

The FBI has foiled a major Islamist terror plot targeting multiple synagogues in America. The suspects - all based in Dearborn, Michigan - planned to massacre Jews on U.S. soil.

The FBI hauled in five suspects Friday, shutting down what officials say was a Halloween-weekend terror plot in Michigan with ties to ISIS. “This morning the FBI thwarted a potential terrorist attack and arrested multiple subjects in Michigan who were allegedly plotting a violent attack over Halloween weekend,” FBI Director Kash Patel announced on X. Federal agents grabbed the suspects in Dearborn and Inkster, according to three senior law enforcement officials briefed on the case.

After weekly pro-Hamas demonstrations for the last two years, European cities from Dublin to Rome remained eerily quiet amid reports of a real genocide unfolding in Sudan. Videos posted on social media in recent days show the Arab militia, Rapid Support Forces (RSF), executing unarmed civilians while invoking the Islamic war cry of ‘Allahu Akbar.’ “Fighters from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have executed a number of unarmed people after capturing the Sudanese city of el-Fasher, new videos analysed by BBC Verify show,” the UK-based broadcaster reported Thursday. “Several videos have since emerged showing men wearing military fatigues and...

We cannot win a war we aren’t even willing to acknowledge is being waged against us. It’s high time we do.Americans across the country usually have little reason to pay close attention to the politics of New York City — despite its size and status as the world’s financial capital — because it rarely affects them. However, as New Yorkers head to the ballot box next week to vote in the most significant mayoral race in decades, the eyes of the nation are fixated on the rise of a Marxist-Islamist as their likely choice in a city the nation rallied...
