The NYPD on Sunday released photos of four cowardly thugs wanted in the Friday hate-crime beating in Chelsea that left a 72-year-old man with a broken jaw. The attack occurred around 10:15 p.m. at West 17th Street and Ninth Avenue in Manhattan when the suspects converged on the victim shouting anti-LGBTQ slurs, according to police. The four then started to punch and kick the elderly man in the head before running off — leaving him with a broken jaw and cuts to his face and hands. The victim went to a local hospital on his own after the attack.

By Jim Hoft The Gateway Pundit Earlier today Hamas terrorists launched a major surprise attack on Israel. The Islamist group fired over 5,000 missiles inside Israel, crossed into southern Israel, captured innocent citizens and Israeli soldiers as prisoners, and launched numerous attacks across southern Israel. This assault comes just weeks after Joe Biden sent $6 billion to Iran in September.

The State Department was slammed by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Saturday for posting a now-deleted tweet urging Israel to “refrain from violence and retaliatory attacks” with Hamas. Hamas militants attacked Israel by shooting missiles into towns as well as executing civilians, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of civilians on Saturday. However, President Joe Biden addressed the nation in a televised speech hours after the attack, reaffirming the United States’ commitment to standby Israel. The attack was the largest organized attack on Israel in decades as multiple towns near Gaza were invaded. The U.S. Office of Palestinian Affairs posted...

Ukraine said it invented an "invisibility cloak" to help soldiers evade detection from thermal-imaging devices. One of the developers told Newsweek it was made with specialist units like snipers in mind. It is unclear what the jackets are made of or if they differ from space blankets made of Mylar. He attributed the invention to Brave1, which is a Ukrainian government initiative to promote innovation in battlefield technology. A member of the Brave1 development team, Maxim Boryak, told Newsweek that their production capacity for the jackets was currently limited to 150 units per month but that they are "ready for...

2023 Congressional Pig Book https://www.cagw.org/reporting/pig-book The Congressional Pig Book is CAGW's annual compilation of the pork-barrel projects in the federal budget. A "pork" project is a line-item in an appropriations bill that designates tax dollars for a specific purpose in circumvention of established budgetary procedures. To qualify as pork, a project must meet one of seven criteria that were developed in 1991 by CAGW and the Congressional Porkbusters Coalition. Earmarks continue to provide the most benefit to those with spots on prime congressional committees. In FY 2023, the 89 members of the House and Senate appropriations committees, making up only...

A New York porch pirate targeted homes in broad daylight under the guise of delivering food as she canvassed residential neighborhoods for her next target, police said. Juliana Saggaram, 33, of East Elmhurst, Queens was arrested Wednesday after she used her position as a DoorDash driver to freely approach two homes and swipe packages.

WASHINGTON, DC — After yet another biting incident involving the Presidential pooch Commander, members of the White House staff and canine experts are at a loss as to how the dog learned such aggressive behavior in the first place.

Said Martin Douglass, head of White House Operations. "It seems like his biting and aggressive sniffing is learned behavior but no one around here does anything like that!"

A New York teen is facing 30 criminal charges for allegedly driving a stolen SUV into a home earlier this month, resulting in a massive gas explosion that displaced multiple residents and sent first responders ducking for cover. The residence in Oneida was decimated by the early-morning Sept. 9 blast, which sent towers of orange flames and ash into the sky and reduced the emergency crews at the scene to flailing rag dolls as they struggled to take cover, body camera footage obtained by NewsChannel 9 shows. Several officers were forced to cower behind a fire truck “while debris fell...

Trump Attorney Alina Habba Shares Big Update On What Will Happen Next The four cases prosecutors have lined up against former President Donald Trump aren’t about the merits, and they’re not about winning — it’s all about “tying him up” to keep him off the campaign trail, says Alina Habba. Habba, an attorney and Trump’s legal spokeswoman, said on “Carl Higbie FRONTLINE” that the accumulation of charges and the impending trial schedule is “literally impossible,” and it’s all on purpose. “The reason they keep filing [charges] … is because they don’t really care if they win,” Habba told Higbie. “They...
