An outspoken New York civil rights lawyer who represented clients ranging from small-time criminals to radicals and was released early from prison three years ago because she was expected to die of cancer has died. Lynne Feltham Stewart was 77. Her husband, Ralph Poynter, says Stewart died Tuesday in the Brooklyn home where she lived after receiving a "compassionate release" from prison in January 2014. Stewart was disbarred after she was convicted of helping a terrorist client communicate with followers.

German sociologist Gabriele Kuby has been warning the public about threats to society and dangers to the Catholic Faith for years. She has warned of the excesses of the cultural revolution of 1968, offered a critique of the ideology of feminism, and warned of the destructive effects of the sexual revolution. But what makes her especially qualified to speak about such matters is that she herself was a revolutionary soixante-huitard before converting to the Catholic Faith in 1997. Born in Konstanz, Germany, in 1944, Kuby studied sociology in Berlin and completed her Master’s degree in Konstanz under Ralf Dahrendorf...

What happens when ponytailed defense attorney Ron Kuby gets mugged? He screams bloody murder, demands a police crackdown on the alleged assailant, and collaborates with reporters at the New York Daily News to raise the specter of hate crime charges. Here's the outline of the story, from the New York Post: Michael Cook is charged with misdemeanor assault for allegedly clocking Kuby on West 23rd Street in mid-September. Kuby told cops he'd been walking near Cook and Cook's girlfriend, and the punch in the nose was his reward for objecting to the girlfriend's overheard anti-gay diatribe. "I spend my life...

NEW YORK — A man who admitted plotting to bomb the city's subway system wanted to do so with the help of at least two other bombers during rush hour, when the most people could be killed, police said Tuesday. "This was particularly disturbing," police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said. "It was his intention to be on trains during rush hour period and to kill New Yorkers. No question about it." The man, 25-year-old Najibullah Zazi, pleaded guilty Monday to charges including conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction and supporting al-Qaida, which he said trained him in Pakistan.

A New York City imam accused of tipping off a suspected al Qaeda-trained militant that he was under investigation pleaded not guilty on Monday to lying to the FBI. Ahmad Wais Afzali was arrested in September as part of a probe in which federal prosecutors allege the prime suspect, Najibullah Zazi, was planning to set off bombs in the United States. Attorney General Eric Holder has called the purported Zazi plot one of the most serious security threats to the United States since the attacks of September 11, 2001, saying it could have killed "scores" of Americans had it been...

The lawyer for a Flushing imam arrested in a nationwide terror probe said his client's family plans to put up property in Queens and Virginia to secure a request for bail. Ron Kuby, the civil rights attorney representing Ahmad Wasi Afzali, 37, said the property would be posted by relatives of Afzali at a bail hearing Thursday in Brooklyn federal court...Federal prosecutors said they intend to try to keep Afzali in jail on the grounds that he may flee. The Brooklyn bail hearing, as well as one in Denver, where two other suspects are being held, comes as major rail...

Returning to the airwaves this morning after a seven-month exile, Don Imus seemed intent on demonstrating two things. First, that he was unequivocally contrite concerning the comments he had made about the Rutgers University women's basketball players that resulted in his firing. Second, his contrition notwithstanding, he wasn't going to change his irreverent ways when it came to the country's political leaders. To prove his iconoclastic bona fides, Imus concluded his monologue by observing "Dick Cheney is still a war criminal, and Hillary Clinton is still Satan." Listen to audio here [with apologies for the mediocre sound quality.] But before...

Don Imus returned to the air waves this morning with a lengthy explanation of his side of the events that took place last April. He spoke of the meeting he had with the Rutger's women's basketball team and the things that he and they discussed. Imus also spoke of how the media said, at the time, that they were going to begin a dialog about race relations and quipped, "I must have missed that." He then pledged to do the media's work for them by using his program as a platform for such a dialog. Imus then ended the first...

ALL those politically correct types who piled on last April when Don Imus went down for making his bad "nappy-headed ho's" joke had better duck and cover on Monday, when the I-Man goes back to work on WABC Radio. "I think he will have some scores to settle," the station's general manager, Phil Boyce, told Page Six yesterday. It is doubtful Imus will ever forgive CBS chief Les Moonves, who fired him, or regular guest Tim Russert, the host of NBC's "Meet the Press," who was "an invisible man" while Imus was under attack. Private eye Bo Dietl, who will...

Associated Press Shock Jock Don Imus to Return to Radio on Dec. 3 After Firing for Racist Remark Shock jock Don Imus will return to the airwaves Dec. 3 after eight months of a well-paid hiatus brought about by a racist and sexist remark that once seemed certain to permanently silence his broadcasting career. Citadel Broadcasting Corp. made the announcement Thursday, confirming long-rumored reports that Imus was coming back to morning drive time on New York-based WABC-AM. The cantankerous Imus was fired April 12 by CBS Radio amid a firestorm of controversy over his "nappy-headed hos" remark about the Rutgers...

I live in NY. I was listening to WABC Radio this morning on the way to work when Ron Kuby said something that actually caused me to shout at my radio. He said (paraphrasing here)I would love to get all of the benefits of Police, Fireman, trash collectors, roads etc...without having to pay taxes. I shouted at my radio JUST BE AN ILLEGAL ALIEN! Does anyone have an email address for him? Or know how to get it? I would love to say it directly to him.

Curtis Sliwa watched the man he claims ordered a hit on him walk away from court for the second time yesterday - and said it hurt more than the ambush that almost killed him. "I would say this has been even more painful than being shot with three hollow point bullets," he told the Daily News. "It's like taking yet another slug. "I feel I have been robbed. It's like John [Junior] Gotti has been exonerated for all his sins, all his vicious crimes, simply because he announced his retirement. "I see him pictured in the Daily News, in church...

Junior Gotti was 'sick of this life,' radio show host Kuby saysNEW YORK -- John "Junior" Gotti said in 1998 that he was "sick of this life" and would plead guilty to criminal charges, a lawyer who co-hosts a radio show with Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa testified Monday at Gotti's mob trial. The testimony by Ron Kuby, a veteran civil rights attorney, was intended by defense lawyers to boost Gotti's argument that he had rejected life in the Gambino crime family when he pleaded guilty in 1999 to racketeering charges.... "He told me he was sick of this life,"...

NEW POPE HITS OUT AT HARRY POTTER BOOKSThe new pope Benedict XVI has blasted JK Rowlings Harry Potter books for 'undermining the soul of Chirstianity.'His predecessor, John Paul II, had praised the mutilmillionairness for her Christian lifestyle in the past. The former Cardinal Joeseph Ratizinger is grateful to 'Good or Bad' author Gabrielle Kuby for revealing the hidden agendas behind the popular childrens books.He said, 'it is good that you explain the facts of Harry Potter, because this is subtle seduction, which is deeply unnoticed and has direct effects in undermining the soul of Christianity before it can really grow...

Did anybody catch me on WABC Radio just before the 8:00 News Break of the Curtis and Kuby show? They were talking about political corruption in New Jersey, and whether it would be an issue in the upcoming Gubenatorial election. I came on the telephone as "John from New Jersey", and made the point (quite eloquently, I would add) that nobody cared about Mob corruption in NYC until Rudy Giuliani reframed the debate by charging that payoffs to the mob amounted to a "Mob Tax" on every transaction in the city. Bret Schundler has to demostrate to the people that...

WABC's morning radio host RON KUBY (atheist,lawyer for the most outspoken criminals of the world by the way) is so upset over this election and has been crying for days since, once again not understanding why it is their side continues to lose.
