Hundreds of illegal immigrants are protesting President-elect Donald Trump’s election win as he promises to execute immigration laws on day one of his second term. On Saturday, massive groups of illegal aliens took to the streets to protest Trump’s pending immigration policies, in which he has vowed to deport every last immigrant that was allowed to illegally enter the United States under the Biden-Harris Administration. The protestors marched through the streets of Manhattan and yelled “we are not leaving!” Others held a large banner that read "we won't back down," while chanting "he's not my president." This comes after data...

Disgraced former Rep. Anthony Weiner has his eyes on another political run — this time setting his sights on the New York City Council. “I’m thinking about it. I’m wrestling with it,” Wiener, 60, said on his weekly 77WABC radio show Saturday, City & State New York reported. “I love doing this job on the radio, but I want to be of service,” he said. Weiner hasn’t held public office in more than a decade since he was ousted from his New York congressional seat in 2011 over a sexting scandal that involved several women and a minor. Two years...

The Women's March group is returning with a series of D.C. protests in light of President-elect Trump's win. Why it matters: The first Women's March was held the day after Trump's 2017 inauguration to protest what the participants saw as threats the administration posed to issues like civil rights and gender equality. It's considered to be the U.S.' biggest-ever single-day demonstration. And now, almost eight years later, the group is protesting another Trump presidency. State of play: The Women's March group will host a rally in D.C. Saturday at Columbus Circle in front of Union Station "to build community and...

More witnesses took the stand Thursday for day three of the manslaughter trial of Marine veteran Daniel Penny. *snip* A 38-year-old Brooklyn woman, who defense attorneys call their star witness, wrapped up her testimony. She testified when Neely was ranting his tone was so believable that there was a moment went she thought she was going to die. She described his behavior as satanic.

New York City is ending a program that provided prepaid debit cards to migrant families living in the sanctuary city. In a statement obtained by FOX 5 New York, Adams announced the end of the immediate response cards pilot program. "Through the immediate response cards pilot program, we were able to reduce food waste, redirect millions of dollars to our local economy, and provide more culturally relevant food to more than 2,600 migrant families in our care," Adams said. "As we move towards more competitive contracting for asylum seeker programs, we have chosen not to renew the emergency contract for...

Donald Trump saw a whopping 50% increase in his support among Jewish voters in New York on Tuesday, compared to the last presidential election, polls show. Roughly 45% of Empire State voters who identify as Jewish cast their ballots for the Republican nominee in 2024 — compared to just 30% who chose him as their candidate in 2020, according to Fox News exit polls. Vice President Kamala Harris scored 55% of the Empire State’s Jewish vote, marking a drastic decrease from the 69% President Biden took home in his winning bid for the highest office four years “I’m so so...

Kamala Harris' apparent election night flop appears to have affected her in deep blue districts, including New York City. Harris has won just 67.8% of the vote in the Big Apple's five boroughs. While that may seem like a dominating performance, it's the worst for a Democrat since 1988. Joe Biden won the city with 76% of the vote in 2020 and Hillary Clinton - who served the city in the Senate - won it with 79% in 2016. Harris' disappointing numbers in NYC were the worst since Michael Dukakis garnered 66.17% of the vote versus George H.W. Bush's 32.82%....

That’s an awful lot of Louis. Former first lady Melania Trump packed her bags and jetted out of New York City Friday en route to South Florida – where she will join her husband, former President Donald Trump, to watch the election results come in Nov. 5. The 54-year-old’s luggage – including Louis Vuitton suitcases and several garment bags emblazoned with the presidential seal – was seen being loaded into a black SUV outside Trump Tower in Midtown, with some of the pricey parcels literally thrown into the back of the crammed vehicle, one on top of the other.

The Uber passenger charged with a hate crime for pepper spraying a Muslim driver in Manhattan is a former sorority girl who was fired from her PR job over the shocking incident. Manhattan College graduate Jennifer Guilbeault, 23, had just started a promising career at a New York public relations firm when she was caught on dashcam springing forward to spray her rideshare driver in July, horrifying the pal who was with her. However, her employer, D Pagan Communications in Melville, fired her over the shocking incident. Agency president Debra Pagan confirmed to PR Weekly that Guilbeault had left the...

A man berating a Jewish customer trying to enjoy breakfast with his young child inside a kosher cafe in Brooklyn — with disturbing video showing the unhinged man describing all Jewish people as “evil” and claiming Adolf Hitler “was onto something.” The footage, shot inside the Almah cafe, along Utica Avenue, shows the moment a man dressed in a pink hoodie confronts a customer on Thursday morning, demanding he give his opinion on the war in Gaza. “You guys are killing babies,” the man tells the frustrated father, adding that “something bad is going to happen” to Jewish people. “Jewish...

New Yorkers can now cross the street outside the crosswalk or against the traffic light without being ticketed by police.​ Jaywalking is now legal in New York City after a bill passed by the City Council last month officially became law. New Yorkers can now cross the street outside the crosswalk or against the traffic light without being ticketed by police. The city council moved to decriminalize the act after city data showed that Black and Latino pedestrians were disproportionately targeted by police. More than 90 percent of the jaywalking tickets issued last year went to Black and Latino people,...

Four years ago, I posted this: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3897586/posts With the following info: Thought I'd report what I've observed in Manhattan today. Early voting started and at one particular location, on the Upper East Side, the line to vote has encircled the entire building from around 10 a.m. until now - so, two street and two avenue blocks, entirely. Yes, there is "social distancing" but this is unbelievable (someone said it takes about 5 hours to vote). On the assumption that the voting pattern for the neighborhood holds, one has to wonder what is motivating these people, their candidate (really??) or pure...

My wife and I attended our first Trump rally at MSG yesterday. We had a great time, and the wait to get in was well worth it. Both of us have been Trump supporters since 2016. I am a co-organizer of the NYC Trump Supporters Meetup group (and a few other RW Meetup groups), and have been active in Manhattan-based Republican and conservative groups since I moved to NYC in 2012. My wife and her family immigrated to the US from the Soviet Union in the late 80s, and she is a staunch anti-socialist/anticommunist as well as a Trump supporter....

Frightening video shows a person running on top of a moving train at the same Queens station where a teenage girl died and her young friend was critically injured while subway surfing over the weekend. A heart-pounding clip taken Thursday by a concerned New Yorker near the 111th Street station in Corona shows someone precariously jogging along the top of an elevated subway car. A second clip from April shows at least five youngsters atop another subway car in the same corridor along Roosevelt Avenue. Advertisement

Activists and foreign actors have infiltrated the city’s public schools with anti-Israel materials, fostering bias and hatred of Jews, according to a new report by a nonprofit think tank.Teacher groups like NYC Educators for Palestine have collaborated with extremist organizations, some allegedly tied to hostile foreign governments and terrorist groups, to bring “radical, anti-American ideologies” into schools, said the Network Contagion Research Institute, or NCRI, and the advocacy group New York City Public School Alliance, which co-wrote the report.

MSNBC Plays Clip of Nazi Rally from 1939 When Covering Trumps Madison Square Garden Rally They compared it to a Nazi Rally there in 1939 showing old video clips and running a banner They called it “particularly chilling”

New York is reeling from the harmful effects of the dangerously liberal policies championed by Kamala Harris and Democrats like Eric Adams. Since Kamala took office, the average New York household has been forced to spend an additional $28,537, including $4,282 more on food, $4,918 more on shelter, $3,992 more on energy, and $8,912 more on transportation. These disastrous economic policies are draining the bank accounts of hardworking New Yorkers. Additionally, thanks to Kamala's reckless open-border policies, over 210,000 migrants have flooded into New York City since the Spring of 2022, draining vital government resources and overwhelming the city. Last...

It is hard to imagine a candidate more unworthy to serve as president of the United States than Donald Trump. He has proved himself morally unfit for an office that asks its occupant to put the good of the nation above self-interest. He has proved himself temperamentally unfit for a role that requires the very qualities — wisdom, honesty, empathy, courage, restraint, humility, discipline — that he most lacks. Those disqualifying characteristics are compounded by everything else that limits his ability to fulfill the duties of the president: his many criminal charges, his advancing age, his fundamental lack of interest...

Hillary and others are saying Trump's scheduled rally at Madison Square Garden is reminiscent of the 1939 American Nazi Bund rally there. If we are speaking of Madison Square garden rallies, we should remember to include the 1924 Democrat party rally. It is shockingly similar to things happening today. The Democrats anti-Catholic bigotry had them pass over Al Smith as the nominee. There was also an attempt to put an anti-KKK plank in the platform, condemning KKK violence. It was soundly defeated.

Barking mad or brilliant? New York City lawmakers are proposing a bill to let Big Apple workers take time off to care for their sick furry family members. The proposal, sponsored by city council member Shaun Abreu, would amend and expand the Earned Safe and Sick Time Act — which requires companies to give employees paid sick leave to care for themselves or family members — to include pets and service animals. Abreu touted mental health as a reason to incentivize pet ownership with the amended bill, citing research that owning pets can reduce cortisol, a stress-related hormone, and force...
