Anti-Israel protesters Sunday clashed with cops outside a Brooklyn synagogue where Israel’s embattled security minister was set to speak — with the speech ending up canceled and at least one arrest. The protest outside Congregation Shaare ZIon on Ocean Parkway turned violent shortly after 9:30 a.m. as NYPD officers and some members of the crowd scuffled while the rowdy mob demonstrated against Sunday’s scheduled speech by Israeli Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. The speech was nixed, and the under-fire minister is now set to return home a day early, the Israeli outlet Haaretz reported. The violent clash came two days after...

If your tariffs make prices go up-” she said as Trump immediately interjected. “Excuse me, we haven’t asked you to speak yet,” the president shot back.

President Donald Trump will speak with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday afternoon before the reciprocal 25 percent tariffs between the United States and Canada take effect on Tuesday. In a Truth Social post, Trump revealed he spoke with Trudeau on Monday morning and would talk with him again later in the day: Canada doesn’t even allow U.S. Banks to open or do business there. What’s that all about? Many such things, but it’s also a DRUG WAR, and hundreds of thousands of people have died in the U.S. from drugs pouring through the Borders of Mexico and Canada....

Senator-Elect John Curtis (R-UT) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that he has no qualms about speaking up when he disagreed with President-elect Donald Trump.

But that doesn’t mean there won’t be moments when I disagree with him. And I think it’s very important to me and my constituents that — that at those moments that I feel comfortable speaking up.”

The United Auto Workers (UAW) union joined calls for a Palestinian American to speak on the final night of Democratic National Convention, implying that the party risks losing the election amid ongoing protests over the administration’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. “If we want the war in Gaza to end, we can’t put our heads in the sand or ignore the voices of the Palestinian Americans in the Democratic Party,” the UAW wrote Thursday on social platform X. “If we want peace, if we want real democracy, and if we want to win this election, the Democratic Party...

The Democratic National Committee slated former President Barack Obama and President Joe Biden to speak during its convention in mid-August. It is typical for former presidents and high-profile party leaders to speak at conventions, but it is unusual for a sitting president to give a speech at a convention. Lyndon Johnson, who did not run for reelection in 1968, did not even attend the Democratic National Convention (DNC) that year. Biden, however, will speak at the 2024 DNC, presumably to defend his administration’s policies of open borders, soaring inflation, and foreign chaos. “I’ve cured the economy and the environment and...

President Biden spoke Monday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, marking the first time the two have spoken since Biden said the prime minister was “hurting Israel more than helping” and a top Democrat called for new elections in Israel. The two men discussed “the latest developments in Israel and Gaza, including the situation in Rafah and efforts to surge humanitarian assistance to Gaza,” the White House said. Biden has sought to balance his frustrations with Netanyahu with his administration’s support for Israel in its war against Hamas. The president has repeatedly asserted Israel has a right to defend itself...

Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. will be a headline speaker at a Conservative Political Action Conference event in Las Vegas later this month, the conference announced Friday. The anti-establishment environmental lawyer has run a longshot primary campaign against President Biden, but is expected to change affiliation to independent next week. “Robert F.

Father Jerry Pokorsky | December 30, 2022 | 10:33am EST Those who investigate crimes gather crime-scene evidence. They hope to identify a suspect with the compilation of sufficient evidence to prove guilt “beyond a reasonable doubt.” We also must support our judgments with adequate evidence. It takes considerable effort in political matters because a complete compilation of facts is almost impossible. It may take weeks and years for all the facts to emerge. Yet we all need to make political decisions in real time. Government and media elites throttled reasoned dissent based on evidence during the pandemic. We were not...

"There's a lot of people that want to hear what he has to say and there's a tremendous amount of interest," Turning Point spokesman Andrew Kolvet said, AZ Central reported. "You know, he didn't ask for it, but he became this cultural symbol, a touch point of self-defense. He got thrust into that, and he has a story to tell,” he added.

Rep. Doug Collins on Monday introduced a resolution to push for the removal of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, claiming she “does not have the mental fitness” to lead the House of Representatives. “Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s unwillingness to abide by the Constitution, combined with her recent actions, call into question her own mental fitness, which is why it’s critical that the House of Representatives demand her removal from the line of succession,” Collins said in a statement to Fox News. A draft of Collins’ resolution, obtained by Fox News, argues that Pelosi “is unable to adequately serve as Speaker of the...
