Just hours after The Post revealed that burglars broke into Nassau University Medical Center Chairman Matthew Bruderman’s home and stole documents tied to a federal corruption probe, the county’s top official abruptly fired him. Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman — who once appeared to be aligned with Bruderman’s claims that the hospital was robbed of more than $1 billion by state and prior county leaders since 2006 — pulled the plug on his three-year tenure late Thursday. The county exec, who helped launch the federal investigation by meeting with FBI Director Kash Patel on Long Island in early April, declined...

Judge Tanya Chutkan, an Obama appointee, ruled that Lee Zeldin cannot claw back the money currently being sheltered at Citibank for 8 different ‘green’ nonprofits. The $20 billion sitting at Citibank will not be restored to the 8 nonprofits yet. Judge Chutkan’s TRO temporarily stopped Lee Zeldin from reclaiming the funds. “When the court asked EPA to proffer evidence justifying its decision given the terms of the agreement, its only response was to refer to the termination letter, which gave no legal justification for the termination,” the judge wrote.

Washington is an empire of unaccountable money. The real power in this town isn’t in campaign speeches or election-night victories—it’s in the quiet flow of taxpayer dollars into the right hands, far from public view. And while Americans were struggling with inflation, border chaos, and a volatile global stage, the Biden administration quietly orchestrated one of the most audacious financial maneuvers in modern history: a $20 billion green-energy slush fund, funneled to handpicked left-wing nonprofits with no meaningful oversight. As first uncovered by RealClearInvestigations, the Biden administration’s EPA delivered billions in taxpayer dollars to a select group of left-wing nonprofits,...

EPA boss Lee Zeldin’s push to rescind the White House’s 2009 finding on greenhouse gases marks another great milestone on President Trump’s climate course correction. But it’s long past time for the entire West to admit it: The whole anti-carbon crusade declared in the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement has proved a disaster — wrecking economies and worsening lives without making a real difference on climate change. Here at home, the 2009 (Obama-era) “finding” declared that greenhouse gases endanger public health, and so provided a legal pretext for destructive “climate agenda” mandates on everything from power plants to cars to gas...

Zeldin cited a December video in which an EPA official suggested the Biden administration had rushed to allocate the funds before Trump’s team could intervene. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced plans to recover $20 billion in climate funding approved by the Biden administration. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin revealed the decision in a social media post Wednesday, alleging that the funds were distributed hastily with “reduced oversight”. This decision intensifies President Donald Trump’s broader efforts to freeze climate funding across federal agencies. It also defies a federal judge’s recent ruling, which stated that the administration had been violating a court...

Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson 🚨EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announces that $20 billion in taxpayer funds were just discovered, laundered into in external financial institutions managed by agents of the Biden Admin to finance left wing NGOs. “$7 billion was sent to an entity called the Climate United Fund.” But Zeldin has now clawed back the money and referred the case to the Department of Justice.

‘We can and we must protect our precious environment without suffocating the economy,’ Zeldin told senators.In a confirmation hearing on Thursday, Democrat senators bombarded Lee Zeldin with “gotcha” environmental questions and pressured him to embrace their radical climate agenda.Zeldin, 44, is an attorney, a former congressman from New York, a one-time candidate for New York governor, and a frequent, funny guest on “Gutfeld!” on Fox News. His background also includes four years of active duty in the U.S. Army, including time as a military intelligence officer. His next gig may be administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).Zeldin’s congressional...

President-elect Donald Trump on Monday selected former Rep. Lee Zeldin of New York to oversee the Environmental Protection Agency in his administration. In a statement announcing the appointment, Trump described the former four-term House Republican from Long Island as "a true fighter for America First policies."

So whatever happened to the 'dark' picture of a "dangerous" boogeyman the left tried to scares us of? It is why most Americans never bought them as ever being sincere. So much for falsehood. Now to truth: Meantime, America first is marching forward : Tom Homan and Stephen iller on immigration / broken border. Lee Zeldin alleviating business hit by radical woke.

Former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY), one of the most prominent pro-Israel politicians in America, accepted the endorsement of several Arab American leaders for former President Donald Trump in New York City on Thursday. Zeldin, who is Jewish, accepted the endorsement on behalf of Trump himself, who is campaigning in the swing states ahead of Tuesday’s election. The scene was almost surreal: Zeldin, one of the most prominent Zionists on Capitol Hill, standing shoulder to shoulder with Arab and Muslim leaders who may have rather different views on Israel. But the Trump campaign appears to be pulling off one of the...

SNIP “Cuomo’s going for mayor. Can’t stop Cuomo from going for mayor. And no matter what anyone says about our current mayor he has done some good things. Could happen a candidate is some rich man — big money, wants importance, do good, get his name around — like maybe Ron Lauder. Or underestimated Long Island congressman Lee Zeldin. I’m more behind the scenes. I don’t get credit for things.” SNIP “Listen,” she told me, “My mother’s mother was abused. My mother uneducated. Raised three kids, some half siblings. Mom met dirt poor dad in Ireland in eighth grade. Life...

[cut] Rewind the tape to 2021. In the aftermath of media behemoths spreading dragon-fire cancerous acid all over the January 6 events intending to name Donald Trump public enemy number one and cancel everyone who supported him. Rewind the tape to the gubernatorial race in the state of New York. A bright, shiny face of a former Congressman who had worked sun up to sun down supporting President Trump’s legislative policies, defended him in committees and called out the lies of Adam Schiff in hearings ran for Governor of New York State. His name is Lee Zeldin.

In a recent interaction on Twitter Space, Gorka, a former deputy assistant and counterterrorism advisor to President Donald Trump, provided some tantalizing clues about the potential VP pick: a male former New York politician who is currently campaigning with Trump.

Former Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin on Monday endorsed former President Donald Trump, becoming the latest current or former Republican lawmaker to back the ex-president ahead of the 2024 primary, The Hill reported. “The GOP is filled with amazing talent to save our country from the failed policies of the Biden Admin,” Zeldin posted on Twitter in a statement shared by the Trump campaign. “Our nominee in 2024 will be the 45th & 47th POTUS, Donald Trump. Our economy will be stronger, our streets will be safer, & our lives will be freer. He has my full support!” .....

A well-timed counterpunch against the duplicitous backstabbing by Ron DeSantis that took place in August of 2022 is delivered by former New York Congressman and former New York Governor candidate Lee Zeldin today. Zeldin endorses Donald Trump for the 2024 GOP nomination:[SOURCE]If you have followed the deep weeds of GOP politics, you already knew this was likely.At a key moment in the New York governor race, in late August of 2022, shortly after the Mar-a-Lago raid, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was scheduled to be keynote speaker at a New York City Zeldin dinner/fundraiser. Before the fundraiser, DeSantis went to pick...

VIDEOShame Pain. It is the pain that breaks out on a face trying to suppress the SHAME someone feels. Such was the case when Jake Tapper heard former New York Congressman Lee Zeldin explain that over the top biased prosecutor Alvin Bragg is NOT the person to bring about the indictment of President Donald Trump over laughably flimsy charges. Basically massaging an expired misdemeanor into a felony. It is the pain of knowing that the FIRST time a former President (and current candidate) has been indicted, it was at the hands of a prosecutor who has a reputation of avoiding...

Poor Lee Zeldin. If only he would have run for governor in a state that still has free and fair elections. The Republican candidate was leading in several polls on election day in New York State but lost to hapless Kathy Hochul, a complete imbecile. Now New York State can continue its death spiral of crime, violence, socialism, and oppressive regulations. Lee Zeldin helped elevate Republican candidates in the state. Lee Zeldin probably helped save the House by bringing four new Republican congressmen-elect across the finish line. We owe him a lot.

There are still plenty of reasons to celebrate what happened in New York — and here they are.To the dismay of many New York conservatives, incumbent Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul defeated Republican challenger Lee Zeldin in the midterm contest. But underneath the disappointing loss is a gubernatorial comeback story and a spate of down-ballot GOP candidates who made a bigger red splash in the Empire State than many other candidates were able to pull off around the country.With 94 percent of the vote tallied, Zeldin trails Hochul by a little over 300,000 votes or 5.6 percentage points. And while this...
