New York's Orthodox Jews are taking civil disobedience to new heights as they burn their masks in protest against state crackdowns on religious gatherings — just as the Jewish New Year and Day of Atonement wind down and the harvest celebration of Sukkot begins. This is an intensely spiritual period for families and communities who would normally gather to pray and celebrate, but not in the year 5781. This year, history repeats itself as Mayor de Blasio and Governor Cuomo blame Jews for spreading a deadly plague. When the Black Death was ravaging Medieval Europe with tornadic ferocity, the Jews...

The United States and the world face down one of the most challenging tests in modern history in the coronavirus pandemic. Timely implementation of bold decisions can substantially stem the spread of the coronavirus and significantly limit the havoc it may wreak on mankind. To help prevent an uncontrollable outbreak in the United States, it is essential that President Trump immediately stop outgoing passenger flights from JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark, in light of the quickly spreading virus in New York and New Jersey. President Trump has proven himself to be a courageous leader time and again, announcing multiple restrictions designed...

Has the Impeachment Circus Reached Its Final Act? Judicial Watch Sues on the Biden-Burisma Scandal and the So-Called ‘Whistleblower’ Assistant U.S. Attorneys ‘Blown Away’ by Clinton’s ‘Fabulous Party’ U.S. Funding of Islamist ‘Charity’ Groups Triples Under Trump New York City Mayor De Blasio’s Suspect Crime Statistics Has the Impeachment Circus Reached Its Final Act? Will the nation learn anything from the spectacle of the Pelosi-Schiff coup cabal abusing the Constitution with their impeachment circus? As with the Judge Kavanaugh lynching, the impeachment of President Trump was always a house of cards built on abuse of power, distortions and dastardly...

The NY Post had it right in August of 2015 when it deemed the Clinton Foundation a “slush fund.” But it seems that the most desirable deposits of slush only find their way to those who are in a position to offer something in return. Last year, Hillary’s aspirations for unrivaled power ran headlong into the wisdom she didn’t believe American voters possessed. As a result, donations to the Clinton Foundation are, as PJ Media puts it, “drying up.” For example, “The Norwegian government’s planned contribution to the Clinton Foundation next year will be nearly 90 percent off its peak...”...

The vast majority of NYPD cops hate Mayor de Blasio, according to a police-union survey. An overwhelming 96 percent of the 6,000 cops who responded to the poll have unfavorable opinions of Hizzoner, with 88 percent holding “very unfavorable” opinions of him, the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association survey found.

The Amazing Kreskin wants to read de Blasio’s mind The Amazing Kreskin will celebrate his 80th birthday with a star- studded bash at City Crab on Monday, and Bill de Blasio is invited. But if the mayor shows, “I will read his thoughts in public, in front of the audience,” offered the mentalist, who admits he’s at odds with de Blasio over his crusade to ban horse carriages. “I only have one fear — I may draw a blank,” Kreskin cracked of de Blasio’s brain.

The Black War on our police has erupted again. Two New York City Police Officers, Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos were shot dead Saturday. They were murdered by a Black Muslim who joined the war which has continued since the 1970s. Clearly New York Mayor Comrade Bill de Blasio, Al Sharpton, Eric Holder and Barack Obama are to blame; but they are not the only ones with blood on their hands. They are what they are; loathsome enemies of America who have been given power by the “takers” and some “guilty” feeling makers. The permanent, greedy, underclass created by the...

Police officers turned their backs on New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio as he walked into his press conference about the two NYPD officers shot and killed ambush-style in Brooklyn.

In 1950 America’s richest city was Detroit. Now it is nip and tuck with Cleveland as the nation’s poorest city. Today, in order to get into the sixth wealthiest spot on the list, the once wealthy and powerful New York City must be lumped in with Northern New Jersey and Long Island. By comparison Detroit was clearly better off 65 years ago than New York City is today. In 1950 Detroit relied on the auto manufacturing industry to fuel its economy and “See the USA in your Chevrolet” to keep the cars rolling off the assembly line. Sixty five years...

The slaughter of Democrat sacred cows continues and writing it off as mere coincidence becomes harder. It started several weeks back with a series of FBI raids; on the Speaker of the Rhode Island Assembly, an openly Gay married bi-racial man. From there in rapid succession there were FBI raids/arrests and/or indictments of the Black mayor of Charlotte North Carolina – bribe taking; a White Illinois State Senator – child pornography; a Black New York State Assemblyman – padding his expense account; a Black female Indiana County treasurer – stealing county funds; a Chinese American California State Senator- gun running...

One week ago today, Governor Cuomo railed against what he called “extreme conservatives” who are “pro-life, pro-assault weapons, anti-gay.” He said such persons “have no place in the state of New York, because that’s not who New Yorkers are.” Yesterday, Mayor de Blasio said he agrees with Cuomo’s comments “100 percent.” He explained, “I interpret his [Cuomo's] remarks to say that an extremist attitude that continues the reality of violence in our communities or an extremist attitude that denies the rights of women, does not represent the views of the people of New York State.” deblasoThe spin won’t work. Who...
