It’s a fashion brand antisemites will love to hate. An adjunct professor at the Fashion Institute of Technology who was suspended after getting arrested while counter-protesting an anti-Israel rally is launching a new fashion line he hopes will “piss off the Jew haters.” Mark Greiz’s Generation Diaspora is touted as a collection of proudly Zionist clothing and accessories launches, offering such items as women’s $20 underwear that boldly proclaim “Kiss My Ham-ass” and $28 T-shirts that read “F*ck Hamas.”

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Friday... Biden, 82, “wrestled” with the decision to pardon his son for any and all crimes he committed between 2014 and 2024 — but it was a visit by Clyburn, 84, that tipped the scales and led the president to go back on his repeated promises not to do so.

The New York Post reports that the mentally ill gunman who shot and wounded two kindergarteners at a small California school Wednesday wrote that he was deploying a “countermeasure involving child executions” in response to “America’s involvement with genocide and oppression of Palestinians,” in a note he left behind. Following the shooting at Feather River School of Seventh-Day Adventists on Thursday, the gunman turned the gun on himself. He has been identified as Glenn Litton, a 56-year-old homeless man. He had been in jail until just two days prior to the attack. “Countermeasure involving child executions has now been imposed...

The mayor of a South Carolina town where the entire police force resigned in anger at local officials has died in a car crash — while being “pursued” and investigated by other law enforcement, according to reports. McColl Mayor George Garner II, 49, was killed when his 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe plowed head-on into an 18-wheeler Tuesday afternoon — just five days after police Chief Bob Hale and his five officers stunned the small town by resigning. When he crashed, the newly elected mayor “was being pursued” by a Marlboro County sheriff’s deputy, the investigating coroner said. “The pursuit not related...

WASHINGTON — Democrats spent Thanksgiving eating crow — privately confessing that President Biden’s handling of the border crisis fueled voter outrage and the Republican sweep of the White House and both chambers of Congress. Lawmakers, aides and sources close to powerful Dems finally admitted after President-elect Donald Trump’s resounding victory over Biden’s successor, Vice President Kamala Harris, that the party’s permissive lurch on the border helped doom them in 2024. “We destroyed ourselves on the immigration issue in ways that were entirely predictable and entirely manageable,” a Democratic senator confided to The Hill under the condition of anonymity. “We utterly...

Lions running back David Montgomery has revealed how he overcame his dark thoughts.

Anti-Israel Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) shared a Thanksgiving message on Instagram Thursday in support of Palestinians who “fight for freedom on their own land.” “This Thanksgiving, we mourn the Indigenous people killed by European settlers and the United States in order to steal their land,” Tlaib’s post read. “From here to Palestine, we stand in solidarity with all Indigenous people as they fight for freedom on their own land,” it concluded.

Graphic video Butterball is facing calls for a boycott just days before Thanksgiving after sickening footage of poultry workers allegedly sexually abusing and torturing its turkeys resurfaced on social media. The uproar unfolded after People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) activists posted a decades-old clip online over the weekend that allegedly showed the company’s employees abusing live turkeys at a plant in Ozark, Arkansas.

A tiny 2-year-old migrant girl who was picked up at the US border clutching a piece of paper with a name and phone number scrawled on it told cops she was there to find her parents, a tragic video shows.

The Texas Department of Public Safety released the footage of the little girl admitting to cops that she was traveling...

This New York Times “gotcha” is about as sharp as a soggy bowl of breakfast cereal. The Times was relentlessly mocked over the weekend for appearing to unintentionally make Robert F. Kennedy Jr.‘s case in a recent article that tried to poke holes in his anti-processed-food crusade. Kennedy, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, has long pushed for purging artificial ingredients from the food supply, routinely calling such additives “poison.” The Times on Friday ran a story positing that the Kennedy scion’s stance while potentially leading the agency could put him on a...

The memorial at the West 31st Street house of worship honors all the lives lost in the terrorist attacks on...

A Portland woman told a group of homeless men she suspected of stealing her phone that she had no problem with them ripping off “rich scum’’ — just not her, new video shows. The woman — taking a page out of the city’s left-wing activist playbook — was seen in the X footage Thursday pleading with the vagrants at a bus stop in the Oregon city when her phone went missing. “Basically, I am not — if you stole it from rich scum, by all means keep it and sell it,” the woman tells the suspected thieves as she tries...

The Washington Post abruptly removed its politics editor without giving him a reason for the decision, he claimed — the latest shakeup at the left-leaning paper owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. Dan Eggen, a veteran political writer who was named senior politics editor just two years ago, said he was “crushed” after being informed he will be “removed” from his role, according to an email he sent that was obtained by Lachlan Cartwright. “I struggled with how to write this message since there is an element of begging to it that is not particularly attractive. But what the hey:...

Muslim voters who helped swing the election for President-elect Trump because of their anger over Israel’s offensive in Gaza have decried several of his cabinet choices as too “pro-war,” according to a report. Some of Trump’s earliest cabinet have been pro-Israel die-hards, including: New York Rep. Elise Stefanik, who will become the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who has long been an outspoken supporter of Israel’s war against Hamas. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, another Zionist stalwart, will also become ambassador to Israel. “We are very disappointed,” Rexhinaldo Nazarko, executive director of the American...

The truth is out there. Or is it? More than 20 reports of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) — “UFOs,” in layman’s terms — made over the past year have stumped the Defense Department and “merit further analysis,” according to the UAP program’s annual report released Thursday. Between May 1, 2023, and June 1, the Pentagon’s “all-domain anomaly resolution office” (AARO) received 757 reports of sightings — 485 of which referenced new sightings over that period while the remainder occurred between 2021 and 2022. Among those are 21 reports that AARO director Jon Kosloski said warrant additional investigation — and some...
