How did a 34-year-old nobody climb to the edge of running America’s biggest city? These things don’t just happen, they are made to happen.

Zohran Mamdani is funded by a $2.9 million dollar network of George Soros and Islamic activists donors.

George Soros’ foundation funneled $37 million to left-wing groups that backed Zohran Mamdani’s run for New York City mayor. The Working Families Party and nine other progressive organizations that supported Mamdani all received substantial support from Soros-aligned nonprofits. While Mamdani campaigns against wealth and billionaires, critics say he is benefiting from the very system he denounces.

New Yorkers are preparing to flee for Palm Beach, Florida, as Democratic New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani seems poised to win and raise taxes on the rich, Fox News reported on Monday.

Mamdani, a Democratic socialist running on a platform of taxing wealthy New Yorkers, garnered the support of 43.8% of likely voters polled — about ten points ahead of independent candidate and former Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, according to a Suffolk University poll released on Monday. Miami-based Fox News reporter Danamarie McNicholl said on “America Reports” that Palm Beach realtors assert “there’s a new sense of urgency for wealthy New York buyers.”

Utah Valley University socialist students protested a proposal to erect a statue of Charlie Kirk on campus, saying that they don’t want outsiders on campus and do not want to honor the slain Turning Point USA founder.

“We’re out here because we want to protest any sort of Charlie Kirk memorial,” Collin Grannis told Scripps News Service last week. “We don’t want his likeness on campus; we don’t want his likeness sort of immortalized.” Tyler Robinson is accused of assassinating Kirk on Sept. 10 at the public university in Orem, Utah during one of Kirk’s speaking events.

Grannis (pictured) is with UVU Students for a Democratic Society. The group held signs at their rally that said things like “No Kirk on Campus” and “Memorial For Unity Not Hate,” according to a blog post he created on Fight Back! News. The protest was reportedly just 200 feet from where Kirk was killed.

Apropos of nothing, that was a 2023 clip of The Zohran, as an elected member of the New York Assembly, saying, “We have to make clear that when the boot of the NYPD is on your neck, it’s been laced by the IDF.”

Not that anything matters at this point because The Zohran is going to be next mayor of New York City. Andrew Cuomo is Andrew Cuomo, and the New York GOP never bothered trying (shocker). But I just wanted to point out how the incoming mayor of NYC hates both the NYPD and the Jews. Even though whenever you accuse The Zohran of that or anything else, he cries crocodile tears that you’re Islamophobiaing against him.

Those crocodiles here are why I’ve asked you here today. Because The Zohran cried them while invoking 9/11, while claiming his aunt was the real victim.

Sorry, wrong X-post.

Trinity Shockley, 18, will plead guilty to felony conspiracy to commit murder for plotting a school shooting on Valentine’s Day.

The New York Post reported that Trinity, who used the names “Jamie” and “Dex,” will serve a maximum of 12.5 years in prison and five years’ probation.

From Fox19 in February:

Detective McDaniel says Shockley planned to commit the crime at lunchtime “because that would present the most target-rich environment,” collected bullets, magazines and protective gear, named at least one specific target and “investigated known mass shooters and their tactics.”

The Morgan County Sheriff’s Department and the Mooresville Police Department were notified Feb. 11 about a potential threat to Mooresville High School.

A tipster reported the threat to the FBI’s Sandy Hook Tip Line, stating that the suspect had access to an AR-15, ordered a bulletproof vest, admires Nikolas Cruz and that she would kill her best friend in the shooting first, according to a probable cause document.

Pro-communist New York City mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani holds a commanding lead among foreign-born city residents. Former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who is running an independent campaign, and perennial Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa did better with Big Apple residents who were born in the United States, a new poll found.

A survey from Patriot Polling found that Mamdani is running away with the foreign-born vote, as 62 percent of respondents expressed support for his campaign. Cuomo trailed in distant second with 24 percent, while Sliwa was the preferred candidate among just 12 percent of foreign-born respondents.

The poll found Cuomo leading comfortably among American-born New Yorkers with 40 percent. Mamdani was the second choice among 32 percent of respondents, while Sliwa again came in third with 25 percent.

In terms of the overall race, Patriot Polling’s survey was much in line with polling trends, as Mamdani led with 43 percent of the overall vote. Cuomo trailed the Democratic Socialist by nine, while Sliwa sits in a distant third with 19 percent of the vote.

The left is no longer making an effort to hide their violent tendencies, even when their politicians are on national television.

On Wednesday, Texas Democratic Rep. Jolanda Jones made an appearance on CNN where she spoke to Erin Burnett about her strategy to deal with Republicans and President Donald Trump. One moment posted to social media platform X showed Jones discussing how she would respond to any “bully” from the GOP.

“I’m from the hood, OK? So when a bully comes like, if there are no rules, you mentally have to figure it out. So, Donald Trump has changed things, and people trying to do what’s always been done is not going to work,” she told the “OutFront” host.

Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) continued his attacks on the inexperience of his leftist opponent, Zohran Mamdani, in the second and final New York City mayoral debate.

The far-left candidate was blaming Cuomo for the housing crisis under his watch as governor and received loud applause from the audience. Then Cuomo fired back and leveled Mamdani over his record as a New York state assemblyman.

‘You had the worst attendance record in the Assembly, and you gave yourselves the highest raise in the United States of America … and then you never showed up for work!’

What really happens at these so-called peaceful No Kings rallies? BlazeTV host Alex Stein went inside a Dallas, Texas, protest to find out — and the footage was anything but peaceful.

In a clip of Stein walking through the protest, he’s swarmed by screaming leftists, calmly talking to the camera, before one protester steals his hat in an attempt to shut him down.

“Someone who was truly anti-fascist would want as much speech as possible, wouldn’t they? Wouldn’t they? I mean, after all, fascism always involves suppression of dissent and censorship of unwanted speech. Those are, like, two key components of fascism. Tyranny always shuts dissenting speech down,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales says, disturbed by Stein’s experience.

There it was right there in the middle of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals decision that told elected officials they weren’t the boss over President Donald Trump federalizing the Oregon National Guard.

There was a list explaining the protest activity outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) HQ by Antifa, and the Portland Police Bureau’s enabling of the lawbreaking and antisocial behavior, including this item:

September 6, there were 50 to 60 “very active protest[e]rs/black blockers/agitators” at the gate. There was lots of noise, flashing lights, and swinging sticks. [Federal Protective Service] was pushing out to allow vehicles to enter, and the PPB observed approximately 50 people in the driveway. FPS had 26 officers on duty.

And here’s another example, carried out right under the noses of the Portland Police Bureau, which the court felt compelled to mention in the federal case.

Why? Because death threats against federal officers are not a small thing.

On September 9, screenshots were captured of threats on social media tomurder ICE officer.. (screenshot of posts stating “fed ain’t nothin but a target practice,” “Execute gestapo on sight,” and “Off The Pigs”). On September12, protesters photographed an unmarked government vehicle as it was leaving the ICE facility and then posted the photograph to a social media account and provided the location of the vehicle after it left the ICE facility.

A Texas man has been arrested in connection with a series of alleged death threats made against Jewish, pro-Israel, or conservative commentators residing in Florida.

Nicholas Ray, 28, of Spring, Texas, was taken into custody Monday on an arrest warrant.

The Islamic call to prayer is a declaration of the superiority of Islam, a religion that directs its believers to make war against Christians and other non-Muslims and subjugate them as inferiors under the hegemony of believers (cf. Qur’an 9:29).

The adhan (Islamic call to prayer), prayed in Arabic, repeats “Allahu akbar” six times, “I testify that there is no god but Allah” three times, and “I testify that Muhammad is Allah’s prophet” twice. (Robert Spencer)

On its face, one cannot liken the shrill abrasion of the nails-on-chalkboard adhan to the ethereal grandeur of symphonic church bells. But more specifically, church bells have no verbal content. And church bells are rung one or twice a week, the Islamic call to prayer is broadcast five times a day at deafening levels beginning pre-dawn.

Not to mention what the cries of “Allahu akbar” evokes.

Democrat candidate for Virginia attorney general Jay Jones is leaning into his Catholic faith on the campaign trail as recent polls show him slipping behind Republican incumbent Jason Miyares in a tightening race for the office.

A Virginia Commonwealth University survey released this week captured the shift, with Miyares holding a 45%-42% edge among likely voters, a reversal from September when Jones led 47%-41%.

The poll, conducted October 6-14 among 842 adults, carried a margin of error of plus or minus 3.95 percentage points.

Self-inflicted wounds have not stopped coming for Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner, according to a new report.

Platner’s campaign first made waves when far-left icons such as Sen. Bernie Sanders were gushing over him.

Then came revelations of intemperate social media posts from several years ago.

This week, those were topped by the bombshell that Platner had a tattoo resembling a Nazi skull and crossbones.

America again stands on the edge of betrayal, watching mobs assault federal officers while judges call it “restraint.”

This is not new. Between 1876 and 1878, the same script played out as those sworn to uphold the law were branded as tyrants and those undermining it claimed the mantle of freedom. When the federal government lost the will to enforce its own laws, violence filled the vacuum.

The October 16 poll from Trafalgar showed Democrat Abigail Spanberger had only a two-point lead over her Republican challenger, incumbent Lt. Governor Winsome Earle-Sears. Trafalgar was the closest in polling for the 2024 election, with their final poll being 0.01 points off from the actual election results.

With that in mind, we have to wonder if the Democrats aren’t a little concerned about this race. A recent panel on MSNBC seems to think Spanberger is struggling, although they totally miss the reasons why Spanberger might be in trouble.

In case they were unaware, Earle-Sears is also a woman.

A 48-page report released in September exposes the depth of the nation’s teachers’ unions’ hostility toward all things Jewish. “Breaking Solidarity: How Anti-Semitic Activists Turned Teacher Unions Against Israel,” published by the Defense of Freedom Institute in September, explains how unions have worked to embed anti-Semitism into K–12 education.

This anti-Semitism was brought to light after Hamas’s horrific attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, the deadliest single attack on Jews since the Holocaust.

And one of the things, William, I’m really concerned about is even here in our own country, I took a little heat for saying this. … Why would we allow individuals to come into our country whose objective is Sharia law that is antithetical to the constitutional republic that we have in this nation? Why are we not able to talk like this in a civil way and then at the same time prohibit individuals that would be so divisive that they’ll tear this nation apart if we don’t do something? Am I going too far, William, for making that assertion?

WAJ (07:18):

No. And we have not only almost 1400 years of history, we have current events. Look at what has happened in London. Look at what has happened in Paris. We don’t want to become London and Paris. We want to continue to be America.

And it’s a tension that we have because we do have a constitution and everybody has individual rights. On the other hand, the Constitution is not a suicide pact, and we’re entitled to maintain a republic that upholds that constitution. And so by allowing people in who are not committed to that, by allowing people in who do not view our constitution as valid, by allowing people in who come for the very purpose of subverting our society, we are committing suicide.

Student protesters labeled economics Professor Michael Ben-Gad a ‘terrorist’

Hundreds of scholars world-wide are backing an economics professor at the University of London after a pro-Palestinian student group called for him to be fired and labeled him a “terrorist” due to his service in the Israeli military.

A petition launched Tuesday in support of Professor Michael Ben-Gad has about 1,100 signatures from professors in the United States, Canada, Chile, Australia, and other countries.

The petition opposes the “targeted harassment campaign” by the Association of Student Activism for Palestine and City Action for Palestine against the Israeli professor. Ben-Gad also has ties to the U.S. He formerly taught at the University of Houston in Texas and serves on the U.S. National Academy of Sciences panel on the Economic and Fiscal Impacts of Immigration.

Charlie Kirk’s killing last month has sparked fears that the United States is headed to an all-out second civil war or revolution. According to a YouGov survey earlier this year, “more Americans than not believe it is likely that the United States will see a civil war over the next decade” while several hundred political scientists and historians in an April 2025 survey saw the U.S. slipping into authoritarianism with Trump’s second term. Trump’s deployment of the military at home, combined with his vow to suppress “the enemy within” while his domestic advisor, Stephen Miller labels the Democratic Party a domestic extremist organization, can easily be seen as setting the stage for an authoritarian takeover.

Heavy teaching loads, shrinking university budgets and expanding workload expectations have fueled stress and burnout among professors and other university employees in recent years.

Now, an increasingly polarized political climate, as well as emerging concerns around university funding cuts, self-censorship and academic freedom, has created new pressures for university and college employees.

The result is an academic profession caught in the crosscurrents of culture and politics, with implications that extend far beyond the classroom.
