New York City would smell worse than it does if it weren’t so cold. And if it weren’t so cold. After urging New Yorkers to abandon their individualism for his “warmth of collectivism”, 16 homeless people are dead because of Mamdani’s progressive policy of letting them stay out in the cold, instead of escorting them to homeless shelters, but the survivors of his Gulag Games did get a consolation prize in the form of red capes with ‘Mayor Mamdani’ emblazoned on them that are thinner than his resume. But the same cold killing the homeless is also keeping the trash that has been piling up since Jan 24 from rotting so it doesn’t smell as bad as his policies. The city hasn’t had trash pickup for a third of Mamdani’s term. It’s also had a homeless death against every other day he’s been in office. Zohran Mamdani did promise to transform New York City, but few expected him to make it a frozen wasteland full of corpses and trash in one month. Even by Communist standards, this is fast work: some...

  “These scientists say the world is closer than ever to ‘doomsday,’” blared the Washington Post. “Atomic scientists set ‘Doomsday Clock’ closer to midnight than ever,” fussed Reuters. “Doomsday Clock hits record, nears midnight. What it means for Alabama,” the Montgomery Advertiser advertised. Every year, the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists (who are not atomic scientists and don’t have a bulletin) announce that the world is closer to destruction than ever as long as Trump is here. After the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Bulletin (which back then at least had both a ‘bulletin’ and ‘atomic scientists’) set the ‘Doomsday Clock’ at 12 minutes to midnight. By 2020, the clock of doom had run out of minutes and was down to seconds. Last year the fake clock ticked down to 89 seconds, and now it’s down to 85. When it finally hits zero, Ed McMahon will return from the dead to tell us we’ve all won the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes award. That joke is not exactly a tangent because the offi...

  “I think this is the end for ICE,” Jaylani Hussein, the executive director of the Council on American–Islamic Relations, Minnesota (CAIR-MN), bragged, as the violent riots against immigration enforcement continued. “This is the moment where we continue to double down.” The Somali Muslim leader’s aggressive rhetoric showed the role that his people were playing in the campaign to protect illegal alien criminals, some of them fellow Somali Muslims, from deportation as part of a network of extreme groups engaging in intimidation against ICE. A left-wing media story described one of the Somali anti-ICE patrols featuring Kamal Yusuf, who doesn’t speak English, but wears a “F___ ICE” vest and tracks federal law enforcement. This was linked to the Somali-American Leadership Table (SALT) organization co-founded by Imam Yusuf Abdulle, a director of the Islamic Association of North America (ISNA) . ISNA was founded by members of the Muslim Brotherhood and is an unindicted co-conspirator in...

“The entire population of Gaza is facing the risk of famine,” Sigrid Kaag, the UN’s coordinator for Gaza, falsely claimed, echoing Hamas propaganda. “Israel must halt its devastating strikes.” Kaag (Pictured above, left), a leftist Dutch politician and UN official, had been picked for the role in Gaza by the Biden administration. And she had all the right credentials including the UN’s World Health Organization (WHO), the World Economic Forum and leftist politics. She had cheered the BLM race riots and claimed that America was systematically racist because New Yorkers had mistaken her husband, who worked for a Muslim terrorist group, for a janitor. Now she’s been picked for a seat on the Gaza ‘Executive Board’ by the Witkoff team. Sigrid Kaag had been ousted from the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1994 after she secretly married a top member of the PLO, Anas Al-Qaq. The same behavior that made her untrustworthy however qualified her for a job at the UN. There she worked for the...

In 2024, the Biden administration bragged that the “U.S. government is the single largest donor of humanitarian assistance to Somalia.” A year earlier, the Biden administration had spent $1.1 billion on Somalia. And the same was true of the year before. U.S. spending on Somalia had shot up from $103 million under a Republican House to $300 million under Pelosi’s Democrats. By 2017, foreign aid to Somalia had passed the half a billion dollar mark, by 2018, it was over $800 million and by 2020, after Rep. Ilhan Omar joined Congress, our spending on Somalia had passed over $1 billion. Over the last decade, $9.3 billion was spent on Somalia. Over $10 billion since 9/11. While the spending has dropped in the second Trump administration, another $150 million was allocated for 2025. Not only have we provided humanitarian aid for Somalia’s perennial famines, which like most UN declared famines remain dubious, but “Somalia (is) among the most significant recipients of security aid in sub-Sahara...

Two years ago, Zakia Khan and her son Ahsan Ijaz hosted an NYPD promotion ceremony for the first Pakistani inspector in the New York City police department. After an Imam recited a prayer and everyone, including NYPD personnel, rose and put their hands on their hearts for the Pakistani national anthem, hailing Pakistan as the ‘citadel of Islam’ in the “shadow of Allah.” Last year, Khan pleaded guilty to a $68 million Medicaid fraud scheme involving her adult day care centers, which had been the sponsors of the NYPD event, and earlier this year more members of the Muslim fraud ring pleaded guilty as well. Others are still awaiting trial. The day care fraud not only dragged in Khan and her son, but also Malik Nadeem Abid , a prominent Democrat who had served as the vice chair of the Nassau County Democratic Party, had chaired a DNC committee, had been honored by both branches of New York’s legislature, and had been closely associated with a number of Democratic members of Congress. A...

Why are at least two people dead and multiple federal law enforcement officers injured? What broader principle are Democrats, liberals and leftists rioting over in Minneapolis? It certainly isn’t the idea that states can defy the federal government on immigration law. Obama took Arizona v. United States to the Supreme Court to prevent states from enforcing their own immigration laws. The Biden administration dispatched some of the same federal immigration law enforcement officers now being assaulted and booed to dismantle barriers and fencing put up by states like Arizona and Texas to control the mass invasion of millions of illegal aliens. Democrats however never actually believed that states couldn’t defy the federal government on immigration law, more properly they believe that states can only defy the federal government by moving further leftward. That’s why they support sanctuary states like California and Minnesota whose defiance of federal authority has escalated to the point o...
