The 17-year-old victim was approached by a group and then attacked during a verbal dispute outside 235 West 35th Street around 11:45 p.m. Wednesday. The fight apparently began with a content creator allegedly provoking Knicks fans. Detectives have reviewed cellphone video that shows the content creator interviewing a member of the crowd.

No punch line here -- just punches -- as the President-elect returned to the site of his pre-election rally, and brought some famous buddies! The soon-to-be 47th U.S. President, flanked by close friend Dana White, walked to his Octagon-side seat with Elon and Bobby, as well as Musk's DOGE's partner, Vivek Ramaswamy, Tulsi Gabbard, DJT's pick for Director of National Intelligence, and Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson.

With a highly contentious election just around the corner, Democrats are continuing to use dire rhetoric against Americans for voting red. Late last week, New York’s Democratic governor Kathy Hochul, an ally of Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, told Republican voters, “You’re anti-woman, you’re anti-abortion, and basically you’re anti-American because you have just trashed American values and what our country is all about over and over and over.” Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik (N.Y.) responded to Hochul, “First, they called us ‘Deplorables.’ Then, they called us ‘Nazis.’ Then, Joe Biden called us ‘garbage.’ Then, they said no ‘strong...

On Saturday, I attended President Trump's Madison Square Garden rally in the heart of New York City. There, a star-studded lineup of talented speakers, business leaders, entrepreneurs, and more spoke to a packed house of enthusiastic patriots and offered a compelling vision on the future of our American experiment in self-government. Unfortunately, at the top of the rally, there was an inappropriate comedy routine - with content firmly disavowed following the rally by the campaign - that tried to steal most of the headlines immediately following the event. The comedian's ill-timed cultural ethnic jokes, targeting the Black and Puerto Rican...

Joe Rogan said he previously warned Tony Hinchcliffe about his Puerto Rico joke, telling him “that’s the one that’s gonna get you stabbed.” Hinchcliffe, an insult comic best known for hosting the live podcast “Kill Tony,” sparked outrage Sunday when he appeared at Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally and told a joke that referred to Puerto Rico as “a floating island of garbage.” “I’ve gotta tell you, that joke kills at comedy clubs. I don’t like the joke, [but] it kills,” Rogan said on Wednesday’s episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience.” “It’s just like, if you’re Puerto Rican and...

It’s a finger WAG. Devon Mostert, the wife of Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert and mother of three, sounded off on the 2024 presidential election and declared backing Kamala Harris would translate to a “vote for war.” Mostert offered her two cents in a lengthy Tuesday post on Instagram Stories in which she shared clips of former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard’s speech at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally. “An attack on America is going to happen. It’s not a matter or [sic] if… it’s a matter of when. AS HEARTBREAKING AS THAT IS (and I pray every day it doesn’t)… but...

Not only has Tony Hinchcliffe received backlash for his racist remarks at Donald Trump’s recent Madison Square Garden rally, but now he’s also facing the wrath of Taylor Swift fans for his comments about her boyfriend, Travis Kelce SNIP In addition to his racist Puerto Rico joke, Hinchcliffe also made a derogatory remark about the 14-time Grammy winner and her NFL star boyfriend. “I don’t know about you, but I think that Travis Kelce might be the next OJ Simpson,” he said on stage. NFL star Simpson was, of course, charged with the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson...

He’s got lots of enemies, different groups that are scared, and between them, they have impeached him, indicted him, raided him, railroaded him, shot him and sued him....

When a speaker at Donald Trump's wild Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday compared Puerto Rico to a 'floating island of garbage' it sparked outrage. But wall-to-wall media coverage of the incident involving comedian Tony Hinchcliffe appears not to have changed many minds when it comes to voting. Just 0.7 percent of the electorate have a more negative view of Trump following the incident, which happened during a five-hour MAGA marathon in the heart of Manhattan.

They can't handle truth. Have you ever heard of Howard Lutnick? You most likely will soon. Howard W. Lutnick is the CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, the venerable financial services firm. He was one of the lesser-noted speakers at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday — you know, the one where, if you believe MSNBC, jackbooted Trump supporters were goose-stepping around and shouting “Sieg heil!” in terrifying unison when a Charlie Chaplin-mustachioed Trump appeared and gave them the straight-arm salute. While all that is lurid fantasy and the left’s latest shameless smear of the Bad Orange Man, Lutnick really did...

Israel’s Arutz Sheva reported the endorsement on Monday, under the headline “[Kamala] Harris Is Bad for Jews”: Grand Rabbi Aharon Teitelbaum’s Satmar hasidic sect in New York has announced that it will officially support former US President Donald Trump’s candidacy for US president. The decision follows a set of discussions by the Satmar leadership, due to concerns that US Vice President Kamala Harris may...
