Abdul El-Sayed's Senate campaign is in full-blown panic mode after an undercover O'Keefe Media Group video caught one of its field organizers claiming the candidate takes overseas donations. The video dropped on Monday. By the end of the day, the Michigan Democrat Party had confirmed that the organizer who spilled the beans about the campaign’s illegal donations, Abdoul Beckwith, has been fired. No investigation, no review, no waiting to see how the story played out. Party officials cut him loose almost immediately, and the El-Sayed campaign rushed out a statement calling his comments "untrue," "wildly misinformed," and "not reflective of...

A friend and advisor to socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani met with the president of Cuba during a luxe trip to the communist nation — where they conspired to subvert US foreign policy, according to a since-deleted travel diary obtained by The Post. Danny Valdez, who hosted a fundraiser for Mamdani’s mayoral campaign in 2025, traveled to Cuba with a delegation from the DSA International Committee from Oct. 22 to Oct. 26, 2023, according to the Nov. 9, 2023 blog post, entitled “The Cuba Diaries.” The delegation met with President Miguel Diaz-Canel on the third day of the...

JD Vance @JDVance: Western liberals imported the third world into France and other countries in the name of diversity and compassion. They ignored fundamental questions of assimilation and compatibility. They were told it would lead to this and they didn't listen. I pray that France, a beautiful country of amazing people, will stop this madness before more of its landmarks burn. And I hope Americans are paying attention. This is the future congressional Democrats seek for your country. @visegrad24 Visegrád 24 @visegrad24: BREAKING: The town hall of Limoges, built in 1873, didn’t survive today’s riots.

The last time an Islamic terrorist attack was carried out in New York City before Mamdani was in Times Square on the last day of 2022. In under a year since Mamdani took office, there have already been two terror attacks. The mass stabbing in Manhattan by an ex-con shouting “Allahu Akbar” followed a previous attack on a protest rally against Islamization at the mayoral residence of Gracie Mansion by two Muslim teenagers throwing homemade bombs. In previous years, Christian Sturdivant, a convert to Islam, had been arrested on December 31, 2025, over a New Year’s Eve stabbing spree plot...

I wonder whether Zohran Mamdani has ever read Shakespeare or sticks mainly to Karl Marx. If he has ever dabbled in the Bard, he may know the idiom “hoist with his own petard.” In Hamlet, a petard was a crude medieval explosive used to blow open castle gates, and the unlucky engineer was the one launched skyward. That is precisely where this tard finds himself today, lifted by the very cause he weaponized, which now seeks to destroy him. After the Marxist, maleficent, Muslim mayor of New York City ostentatiously attended an October 7 vigil mourning the Israelis slaughtered that...

Controversial streamer Hasan Piker weighed in on anti-Zionist protesters chanting against New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) on Wednesday and later jeering him as he attended an evening vigil for the victims of Hamas’s October 7th terror attacks on southern Israel. “Mayor Mamdani, you can’t hide; we charge you with genocide,” was a chant heard outside of City Hall from protesters who held their own “resistance” rally and accused the progressive stalwart and fierce critic of Israel’s conduct in Gaza of siding with pro-Israel factions. Piker, who has stirred controversy this election cycle with his many incendiary comments, went...

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani dined at a Palestinian restaurant chain blasted for being “openly genocidal” against Jews on the third anniversary of the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks in Israel. Hizzoner ate dinner at Ayat Hinds Hall on the Upper West Side — part of a chain whose sister restaurant in Brooklyn was blasted for featuring a menu section entitled “From the River to the Sea,” in the wake of the 2023 attacks. The restaurant is named after Hind Rajab, a five-year-old Palestinian child who was killed by IDF forces in Gaza in Jan. 2024, and also pays homage...

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani was spotted Wednesday dining at a Palestinian restaurant — named for a child killed in Gaza — right after attending a candlelit vigil marking the third anniversary of Hamas’s October 7 attacks on Israel. Mamdani visited Hinds Hall on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, a branch of Palestinian chain Ayat. The restaurant takes its name from Hind Rajab, a 5-year-old Palestinian girl who was killed in January 2024 alongside her family by Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) while fleeing Gaza City. NYC @NYCMayor making quite a statement. Having dinner at the only Palestinian restaurant on the...

It’s been three years since the savage Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas terror attacks, which killed 1,200 people, often in barbaric, inhuman ways.As we reported, Democratic Socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani celebrated the occasion by firing off an incendiary statement accusing Israel of committing war crimes and genocide in Gaza. (See: Morally Bankrupt Mamdani Spits on October 7 Victims to Demonize Israel.)If he wanted to stoke a response, he succeeded, because anti-Israel, pro-Hamas protests broke out throughout the Big Apple Wednesday. Not surprisingly, Columbia University and NYU once again played their part in the twisted response to the anniversary...

This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss. The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with...

NEW YORK, NY — Mayor Zohran Mamdani attempted to deliver a solemn address to mark the anniversary of October 7th, but was derailed as his wife's party balloons kept floating through the picture. Having only just taken down her 9/11 party decorations, Mamdani's wife had spent the morning putting up banners and balloons for the couple's 10/7 festivities. Sadly, the Mylar balloons extolling the mass murder and rape of Israel continued to wander into the mayor's camera angle. "Today, we mark the third anniversary of the attacks of October 7th, a memory that I know is painful for... hold on,...

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani has unveiled a new strategy to combat antisemitism just one week after renewing his call for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to be arrested. Mamdani announced the first ever municipal 'Strategy to Combat Antisemitism' Tuesday, describing it as 'a roadmap for how our administration will confront the scourge of antisemitism now and in the future.' The city says the strategy represents a $7.4 million investment and is intended to strengthen prevention, education, security and support for Jewish New Yorkers. New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani has unveiled a new strategy to combat antisemitism just one week...

A New York City fundraiser for Democrat U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico is bringing together a host committee featuring several donors, fundraisers, and political allies tied to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Talarico is scheduled to attend the September 28 fundraiser alongside former U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio, with actor Robert De Niro headlining the event. Tickets range from $500 to $27,000. The invitation lists a lengthy host committee that includes Alexis Bittar, Shameek Bose, Shaifali Puri, Shruti Rya Ganguly, Charles Alaimo, Adriana Trigiani, and Human Rights Campaign President Kelley Robinson. Several of those hosts have previously raised...

In our post-Oct. 7 world, one in which the New York Times can note in astonishment that some Israelis still view themselves as victims of the worst single-day massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, a story about a Jew being chased through the streets of a major Western city is unfortunately not that surprising.I've already written about a couple of cases this year. A man who noticed a couple in Santa Monica, Calif., wearing Jewish stars while he was driving threatened to kill them, yelling: “You’re a Zionist, motherf***ing pedophile, motherf***ing Jew. Child killer!” It didn't end there. He got...

A group of pro-Tibetan activists who were peacefully demonstrating against Chinese dictator Xi Jinping when he arrived in Washington, DC, on Thursday were attacked by pro-communist protesters. Protest organizers said they expected over 2,000 Tibetans living in North America to participate, along with Uyghurs and Southern Mongolians who have been oppressed by the People’s Republic of China (PRC), Hong Kongers who lost their freedoms under China’s authoritarian laws, Taiwanese worried about PRC subversion and invasion, and Chinese pro-democracy activists. Scheduled events included a march through Washington, demonstrations at the Chinese embassy, a rally near Capitol Hill, and a candlelight vigil...

In his September 24, 2026, address to the UN General Assembly, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended Israel’s strikes on Iran and its conduct in Gaza, describing the years since October 7 as a seven-front war. Recalling the Six-Day War and his brother Yoni’s role in the Entebbe rescue, he repeated the refrain, “We have no other choice.” Delegates staged a walkout as the speech began, prompting Netanyahu to invite any remaining “moral cowards” to leave. He praised President Donald Trump, rejected accusations of genocide, and sharply criticized New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Qatar, and Turkey. He also voiced support for...

Mayor Zohran Mamdani renewed his call for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to be arrested for war crimes and accused him of visiting a “genocide” on Palestinians just days before the leader is to speak at the UN General Assembly. “When it comes to Benjamin Netanyahu, I have described him as I believe him to be — a war criminal and an architect of a horrific genocide of the Palestinian people,” the mayor told CNN after a cordial meeting with President Trump at Gracie Mansion Monday.“I do believe that that is something that should be honored, because what we want...

President Donald Trump was highly complimentary of New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) when speaking to the press outside Gracie Mansion on Monday. The feed was provided by Spectrum News NY1 and taken by CNN in the midst of the White House press pool pushing back on Trump’s ban on CNN, MS NOW, and Politico. In his remarks, Mamdani said the two discussed, “how we can make it easier to afford life in this great city that we call our home.” Trump called Gracie Mansion “a special place,” adding, “I’ve seen it with numerous different mayors. And I said some...

The White House is gearing up to hit the International Criminal Court with “sweeping sanctions,” months after President Donald Trump said his administration is aiming to dismantle the organization in order to “defend” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from bogus charges. Trump’s big move against the ICC: forbidding it from making transactions in U.S. dollars, The Wall Street Journal first reported on Sunday. The Trump admin would block most transactions with the ICC after a grace period of about six months — a move which could “potentially cripple” the court and isolate it from the global financial system, according to...
