Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to Tommy Robinson about Zohran Mamdani’s radical Muslim ties and agenda for New York City; how UK Green Party leaders like Mothin Ali are successfully tricking progressive voters to draw them away from Keir Starmer and the Labour party;

One of the hooligans who allegedly pelted NYPD cops with snowballs in a rowdy free-for-all at Washington Square Park has been unmasked — as a 27-year-old punk who was arrested for attempted robbery just weeks ago, police said. Gusmane Coulibaly was cuffed on Thursday in connection to the Monday afternoon mayhem that sent two uniformed cops to the hospital, authorities said. The charges he faces in the snow-slinging case were not immediately known. The NYPD released an image of Gusmane Coulibaly, who was arrested in connection with pummeling NYPD officers with snowballs earlier this week. DCPI And it isn’t Coulibaly’s...

Sometimes people just vote with their feet. And a new poll out this week suggests many New Yorkers might be willing to do just that. The Marist poll reveals that one in three New Yorkers are planning to leave the State in the next five years. After the week we’ve just had I suppose you might sympathize with the 7% of respondents who said they want to leave because they’re fed up with the weather. It hasn’t been much fun trying to get around the streets as Mayor Mamdani´s paid volunteers made their unsupervised efforts to push the snow around....

"It's completely unacceptable that the mayor is not condemning this full-throated," Tenney said. The incident has put Mamdani at odds with police leaders after he characterized the episode as a snowball fight that went too far, while the NYPD and police unions described it as an assault and said officers were injured.

Mamdani is a hard-core Muslim. Watch this short video. This is about Islam in America. Mamdani isn't a socialist or a Marxist (though those are tools he is using), he is a Jihadist.

Say it ain’t Zo. Mayor Zohran Mamdani is facing a potential revolt from his Democratic Socialists of America comrades, The Post has learned. More than 200 NYC-DSA members have signed a resolution calling out the mayor for his reversal on homeless encampment sweeps during the recent cold snap. The budding grassroots movement within the larger organization — said to have 12,000 members — is urging Hizzoner to take “alternative, non-carceral actions” instead of reviving the policy to get homeless people off the streets. “We’re heartbroken by the loss of several New Yorkers who have frozen to death in the ongoing...

Manhattan prosecutors declined to pursue an assault charge against Gusmane Coulibaly on Thursday night, instead charging him with misdemeanor obstructing government administration and a harassment violation in connection with the viral Washington Square Park snowball fight. Coulibaly, 27, was arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court on Thursday evening and released on supervised release, hours after the NYPD announced his arrest in the case stemming from a massive snowball fight after Monday’s blizzard. In court, prosecutors said that after reviewing the evidence, they were unable to prove that an officer suffered a physical injury caused directly by Coulibaly’s conduct and therefore did...

New York City's socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani is planning to spend $70 million on a 'feasibility study' into launching government-owned grocery stores, reports say.The mayor, 34, has cried poverty since taking office as he threatens to raise taxes across the Big Apple to fund his projects, claiming he was left with a huge $5.4 billion financial black hole by his predecessor Eric Adams.But sources tell the New York Post that Mamdani is set to spend $70 million to fund the Economic Development Corporation, which will scout potential locations for his city-run grocery stores.

Zohran Mamdani’s socialist pals wrap their proposals in the most innocuous language possible. So when activists rally in Albany on Wednesday to pressure lawmakers to raise taxes, the Democratic Socialists of America claim the bill it backs would “create new brackets starting at $1 million” so that “they pay a slightly higher share in taxes.” Sounds fair. It’s also a lie. Sponsored by Assemblyman Demond Meeks and State Sen. Robert Jackson, the tax increases actually start at half that. For individual incomes over $450,000, and joint incomes over $500,000, the state tax rate would be raised by a point to...

Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Tuesday dismissed viral videos of New Yorkers pelting NYPD officers with snow – contending it was just a “snowball fight.” The frozen fracas in Washington Square Park on Monday had drawn wide outrage from pro-police pols and unions, with NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch deeming it “criminal” and saying the department was investigating. But when Mamdani was asked if he agreed, he effectively waved off the snowy skirmish as childish mischief gone overboard. ---SNIP--- “This was not just a ‘snowball fight.’ This was an assault — by adults throwing chunks of ice and rocks — that landed...

Drug lords have been killed or captured, and cartels have splintered or collapsed, only to see more violent ones replace them and the illicit trade expand. So, 60years of war on drugs, what has actually worked? ...The Sinaloa Cartel, after all, did not go away after its chief, Joaquín Guzmán Loera, the notorious drug lord known as El Chapo, was captured and extradited to the United States. ...Rather than simply going after kingpins like Mr. Oseguera, the authorities need to take a holistic approach to dismantle these groups more completely, analysts say. The Mexican government has to use a combination...

A Hunter College professor who sparked widespread outrage after she was caught making a “blatantly racist” comment during a New York City public schools video meeting is being reviewed by her employer — but may keep her job thanks to her cushy tenure. Allyson Friedman, an associate professor of biology at the Manhattan CUNY school, came under fire after her shocking remarks were caught on a hot mic, interrupting a black eighth-grader who was raising concerns about her Upper West Side school possibly facing a shutdown during a Community Education Council meeting on Feb. 10. “They’re too dumb to know...

NYC Mayor Mamdani just hired a former Planned Parenthood lawyer to prosecute perceived violators of New York’s civil rights code, which includes abortion. This is a new threat posed to Christian pro-life pregnancy centers already SLAPP’d by New York Attorney General Letitia James. Given the current financial straights facing NYC, it would behoove Mayor Mamdani to not waste taxpayer money in frivolous lawsuits, investigations, and other attacks against Christian pro-life organizations like CompassCare. This kind of evil weaponization of government against the good lifesaving work of Christian pro-lifers is why I wrote my latest book. During his bid for New...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) traveled to the Munich Security Conference with big ambitions and came home with a reputation problem. The trip was supposed to bolster her foreign policy credentials ahead of a future Senate or presidential run. Instead, it turned into a masterclass in unpreparedness, and now she's doing damage control in the worst way possible: a tearful late-night Instagram rant. In the video, an emotional AOC, appearing to hold back tears, pushed back against critics who saw her faceplant in Munich, convinced she has no idea what she's talking about. Her defense? It’s not her, it’s you, who’s...

Rights group ADF International has condemned Turkey’s rejection of a European Parliament resolution on the expulsion of foreign Christians, with critics calling the policy an “attack on Christians” and urging authorities to respect due process and religious freedom. The European Parliament resolution focused on cases involving at least 300 foreign Christian pastors, missionaries and their families who were deported or denied re-entry under administrative measures known as the N 82 and G 87 security codes.

One of the first tasks that a new Mayor has in New York City after taking office is to present a budget. Given that an annual New York City budget is well north of $100 billion, you would think that this is a serious undertaking. But our new Mayor is the 34-year-old play-acting college socialist Zohran Mamdani. How does he handle the task? Mamdani kicked the process of with a press conference at City Hall on January 28. Here is a transcript and video of his remarks. Excerpt: I want to speak directly to New Yorkers, who have for too...

S’no thank you. The Mamdani administration failed for hours to attract any emergency shovelers at one Queens garage Sunday — while planning to try to dig out New Yorkers with a fourth of the force the city used for its last mega-storm. Despite Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s widespread attempted promotion of the city’s public-fueled emergency shoveling program, a sign-up sheet at the Maspeth Sanitation garages was empty, city workers told The Post during a visit late Sunday morning. “I haven’t seen anybody sign up yet today. No, no one,” the employee said. There were also no signs of shovelers lining up...

The New York Post reports: Mamdani blasted for requiring 5 forms of ID to shovel while DSA opposes Voter ID. Snowcialism has hit The Big Apple. Lefty Mayor Zohran Mamdani opposes requiring ID’s to vote — but mandates no less than five forms of identification in order to shovel snow. The New York City Sanitation Department website says that in order to register as an emergency snow shoveler, an applicant must provide two small photos sized 1-1.5 square inches, two original forms of ID plus copies, and their social security card. Mamdani called on New Yorkers to sign up to...

New York City is expecting something like two feet of snow, and the city’s government, led by socialist/Communist Zohran Mamdani, is encouraging able-bodied New Yorkers to help shovel the city out after the storm. But only, of course, if they have proper identification: Lefty Mayor Zohran Mamdani opposes requiring ID’s to vote — but mandates no less than five forms of identification in order to shovel snow. The New York City Sanitation Department website says that in order to register as an emergency snow shoveler, an applicant must provide two small photos sized 1-1.5 square inches, two original forms of...
