By Ward Clark New York taxpayers are being forced to subsidize criminals. This is the pass that our greatest city has come to. The taxpayers of the Big Apple are being soaked for the housing, feeding, and medical care for people who shouldn't be in the country at all, thanks to that city's "sanctuary" status. Some of those illegal aliens are criminals, preying on New Yorkers, tourists, and even other illegal immigrants; and one of them, a member of the notorious Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, the "Little Devil," is only 15 - and because of his age and New York's liberal juvenile crime laws, he has been arrested and released, over and over again. Now he is finally  looking at a stretch behind bars . A 15-year-old Venezuelan migrant busted at least 10 times in the last few months — and believed to be part of  a violent crew of young gang members  — was arrested again this week for a knifepoint robbery, sources said Wednesday. And this time he’s finall

By Cam Edwards On Wednesday, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments in two challenges to Connecticut's ban on so-called assault weapons; one brought by the National Association of Gun Rights and the other by the Connecticut Citizens Defense League and the Second Amendment Foundation. The cases were appealed to the Second Circuit after U.S. District Judge Janet Bond Arterton upheld the gun ban in a decision last August, opining that the guns prohibited by the state were "dangerous and unusual" weapons that were not commonly used in self-defense, and therefore beyond the scope of the Second Amendment's protections.  Contrary to Arterton's ruling, the Supreme Court has  not  held that the Second Amendment only protects arms used in self-defense. Instead, it's repeatedly stated that arms commonly used for lawful purposes  including  self-defense are protected under the right to keep and bear arms. Still, attorneys for the state latched on to

By Streiff Kamala Harris has a major problem with attracting male voters. Polling routinely shows about a 15-point gap in Donald Trump's favor among men. There has always been, at least in my lifetime, a so-called gender gap between the parties, but this may be the first time that gap has gone against the Democrats. It isn't like this is a situation unknown to the Democrats. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz was picked as her running mate based on him, at least in the Democrat worldview, being a man's man; that would be someone who bailed out of their National Guard unit rather than accept a combat deployment, lied about their rank and accomplishments, hung out with high school kids to talk about gay sex, and definitely has a John Wayne Gacy vibe about him.

By Susie Moore Early Thursday morning, reports are pouring out of Israel that Yahya Sinwar, the mastermind of Hamas' horrific October 7 attacks, was killed during Israel Defense Forces (IDF) operation in Gaza. From the IDF X/Twitter account: During IDF operations in Gaza, 3 terrorists were eliminated. The IDF and ISA are checking the possibility that one of the terrorists was Yahya Sinwar. At this stage, the identity of the terrorists cannot be confirmed.

The IDF and ISA are checking the possibility that one of the terrorists was Yahya Sinwar. At this stage, the identity of the terrorists cannot be confirmed. In the building where the terrorists were eliminated, there were no signs of the presence of hostages in the area. The forces that are operating in the area are continuing to operate with the required ca

Months of public polling showing some Black men moving toward Donald Trump is part of the reason the former president appears stronger in Georgia than this time four years ago. (Alex Brandon/AP) By Natalie Addison The pews were filling up inside Mount Zion Baptist Church, where former President Bill Clinton was set to launch his rural campaign swing for Vice President Kamala Harris in this Democratic stronghold bordering a sea of rural red Georgia. In the back, Joseph Parker said he was thrilled the Arkansan was coming. But it had been nearly a quarter-century since Clinton left office and, Parker said, “Things were really different then.” This year, he said he’s voting for former President Donald Trump, the first time the 72-year-old has cast a ballot for a Republican presidential candidate. “Trump’s a man of his word. What he says he’s gonna do, he does,” Parker said, after initial reluctance to reveal his preference. “And everything is so high now — groceries high, clothes

By Jim Thompson The clickbait headline I saw on Wednesday was begging me to click:  Breaking! The Villages in Florida is turning blue!  I don’t know what was breaking – maybe a hip – but it is “The Villages" turning blue? Maybe the hair color of the old ladies, but not the politics. They do have a small cadre of TDSers. "BlueHairs for Harris." About as catchy as  White Dudes for Harris .   On Monday Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, the Democrat running for Senate against Rick Scott led a parade of retirees driving their golf carts from The Villages to the county government building where the Blue Hairs for Harris turned in their ballots. Murcarsel-Powell is getting trounced in the latest poll, currently 7 points behind Scott. She ran a TV Ad recently depicting Scott as a snake. Very classy Debbie.   A local online site reported the  event :   Following that rally, Mucarsel-Powell took to her Instagram account and  posted,  “The Villages SHOWED UP!! Thanks for helping us launc

By Abril Elfi Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has requested that the Georgia appeals court restores six of her original criminal counts against former President Donald Trump in the 2020 election interference case.  On Wednesday, the  Atlanta Journal-Constitution  first reported that Willis had filed a brief to the appeals court requesting to overturn Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee’s decision to dismiss charges against Trump and his co-defendants.  In March, McAfee had dismissed six of the charges against Trump, arguing that Willis failed to allege enough detail. McAfee also dismissed two other charges last month, maintaining that Georgia prosecutors and Willis did not have the authority to bring the charges, which related to the alleged filing of false documents in federal court. However, the judge did uphold the racketeering charge in the case, which was brought against all 19 defendants. Willis said in her court brief that the trial court “erred by quashing six coun

By Mark Hemingway In recent years, hundreds of millions of dollars in new investment has poured into local media, but the lion’s share is coming from left-wing activists with overtly ideological and partisan agendas. American journalism has experienced a spectacular collapse in the last 25 years —  daily newspaper circulation has declined  from over 60 million subscribers to just over 20 million. And the trend is accelerating: According to the Pew Research Organization, the  average monthly number of unique visitors  to the websites of the country’s top 50 newspapers plummeted 20 percent in one year from 2021 to 2022. At the same time, the remaining readership expresses a historically low level of faith that the news they are getting is accurate. Just 32 percent of Americans say they have a “great deal or a fair amount of trust” in the media, according to  polling from Gallup . If there is a bright spot here, polling has long shown that American consumers trust local media more th
