Two Orthodox Jewish men were sprayed with a fire extinguisher and one was also punched in what the police department is investigating as a hate crime pattern. The first attack happened shortly after 6 a.m. Sunday on Lee Ave. and Taylor St. just south of the Williamsburg Bridge approach. One man can be seen on surveillance video creeping across the street toward his 74-year-old victim with a fire extinguisher in his hand. The suspect, who was wearing a white T-shirt and black pants, sprayed the man, spreading a cloud of white powder onto the sidewalk and street, the video shows.
Federal government officials have recovered hundreds of classified documents from former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida since he left office, according to a new report.
The initial trove of documents the National Archives and Records Administration collected in January included over 150 documents with classified markings, and seizures in June and in August brought the total up to more than 300, sources told the New York Times. In January, following weeks of communication with Trump's team, the National Archives retrieved 15 boxes of presidential documents before discovering classified material and referring the matter to the Justice Department, which opened an investigation.

The Big Apple could be on the hook for more than $300 million per year to provide shelter space in hotels for newly arrived migrants, a Post analysis shows. City officials have either rented or announced plans to secure roughly 5,800 hotel rooms over the last month in response to the influx from the southern border, which quickly overwhelmed the already-strained homeless shelter system.
One of the largest operations is planned for the ROW NYC hotel on 8th Avenue in Midtown, where officials are looking to rent as many as 600 rooms and provide intake and other services for the recent arrivals.
Justin Gilmore, who grew up so poor he had to heat water on a stove and share baths with his siblings, has revealed how he became a self-made millionaire that supports his entire family.
The self-proclaimed “ATM King” rakes in more than $240,000 a month running cash machines nationwide — and now he’s got his sights set on the controversial Bitcoin market.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — With many Americans up in arms over the unprecedented raid of former President Trump's residence in Mar-a-Lago by the FBI, Attorney General Garland released a statement to assure everyone the raid was completely justified. Eyewitnesses noted he looked unusually fetching in an elegant Dolce & Gabbana evening gown and a Dior sun hat.
A veteran media analyst at a major local news outlet has been let go after making comments about former President Donald Trump that were deemed inappropriate. Bill Crane, who was described as a "long-time WSB-TV and radio chief political analyst and commentator" by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, was terminated on Monday from the news station. WSB-TV said that Crane's reference to Trump as "Orange Face" violated the station's commitment to "unbiased" coverage. Crane first joined the station in 2006.

U.S. government officials haven’t presented sufficient evidence to keep a key document related to the search warrant executed at former President Donald Trump’s home shielded from the public, a federal judge ruled on Aug. 22.
Officials have claimed that an affidavit that convinced U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart to approve the warrant needs extensive redactions to protect FBI agents and witnesses, as well as the ongoing investigation into Trump.
The redactions would leave “very little—nothing of substance,” Jay Bratt, chief of the Department of Justice’s Counterintelligence (snip), told Reinhart(snip)
The government has met its burden of showing that its interests outweigh public access to unsealing the entire affidavit, Reinhart said
Former president Donald Trump filed a lawsuit Monday requesting the appointment of a special master to review the items seized by the FBI during the raid of his Mar-a-Lago residence.
The suit, marking the first legal action Trump has taken over the raid, calls for the review of the seized materials to be stopped until the watchdog is appointed, and for the FBI to return all items not in the scope of the search warrant.
FBI agents seized photos, handwritten notes and the former president’s passports — materials that were not in the search warrant — according to the filing issued by Trump’s attorneys in federal court in Florida.
The Worst and the Stupidest?
replies
Elites have always been ambiguous about the muscular classes who replace their tires, paint their homes, and cook their food. And the masses who tend to them likewise have been ambivalent about those who hire them: appreciative of the work and pay, but also either a bit envious of those with seemingly unlimited resources or turned off by perceived superciliousness arising from their status and affluence.
Yet the divide has grown far wider in the 21st century. Globalization fueled the separation in a number of ways.
One, outsourcing and offshoring eroded the rust-belt interior, while enriching the two coasts. The former lost good-paying jobs, while the latter found new markets
Democrats are trying to deny reality in order to win the midterms.
In the land of alternate “facts” that Democrats would like to sell people, inflation is transitory and we aren’t in a recession. While Vladimir Putin was responsible for gas prices going up, Joe Biden is somehow responsible for them going down a little bit. It isn’t just that the demand dropped because the gas became so expensive. You should consider that a “raise” to your paycheck, even if it’s still costing you far more for gas than when Joe Biden started his term.
But the bottom line? Try as the Democrats might, they can’t change the objective reality
At least 34 people were shot, three of them fatally, during the weekend in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) Chicago.
Breitbart News noted at least 20 people were shot Friday into Saturday evening alone in the Windy City, and one of those shooting victims succumbed to their wounds.
ABC 7 / Chicago Sun-Times reports that the total number of shooting victims was at least 34 by Monday morning, with two additional shooting fatalities.
The first of the two additional fatal shootings occurred Saturday night at 11:45 p.m. “in the 600-block of West 89th Street,” when a man in his early 20s was shot multiple times while standing outside.
Special Counsel John Durham’s lead prosecutor withdrew from the criminal case against Igor Danchenko, the main source for the Trump-Russia dossier paid for by Hillary Clinton’s camp.

House and Senate Republicans aren't ready to go along with Dr. Anthony Fauci's plan to ride off into the sunset – and are already announcing they intend to bring him to Congress to testify even after the infectious disease expert announced his retirement.
Among those pouncing on the announcement was Kentucky Republican GOP Sen. Rand Paul, who has tangled with Fauci in tense hearings in the past.
'Fauci's resignation will not prevent a full-throated investigation into the origins of the pandemic. He will be asked to testify under oath regarding any discussions he participated in concerning the lab leak,' Paul tweeted.

A United Nations diplomat from Africa was accused of rape in Upper Manhattan over the weekend—but NYPD cops released him because he has diplomatic immunity, authorities say. Charles Dickens Imene Oliha, 46—a career diplomat for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation in South Sudan—was arrested in Sunday’s alleged broad-daylight sex assault on a woman inside her apartment, according to a police report obtained by The Post on Monday. Oliha was taken into custody on suspicion of rape and brought in for questioning, cops said.

"Retirement can’t shield Dr. Fauci from congressional oversight," House Oversight Committee ranking member James Comer, R-Ky., wrote on Twitter.

A federal magistrate judge formally rejected the Justice Department’s bid to keep the affidavit leading to the FBI raid of Trump’s personal residence at Mar-a-Lago completely sealed, noting the “unprecedented” nature of the search and the “intense public and historical interest.”
U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart, who signed off on the initial search warrant for the raid, issued a 13-page ruling on Monday morning finding the DOJ had not provided a strong enough argument for “keeping the entire Affidavit under seal.”
“The Government argues that even requiring it to redact portions of the Affidavit that could not reveal agent identities or investigative sources and methods imposes an undue burden
A private jet belonging to Steven Spielberg has burned more than $116,000 worth of jet fuel since June despite the famous Hollywood director’s past warnings about global warming, according to a flight tracking database.
Spielberg’s plane, a Gulfstream G650, has burned at least $116,159 worth of jet fuel over the course of 16 trips spanning nearly 17,000 miles since June 23, according to flight tracking data from ADS-B Exchange and compiled by the database Celebrity Jets. The figures are likely an underestimate since the database didn’t calculate fuel and distance metrics of at least three trips made by Spielberg’s jet.

Dr. Anthony Fauci will leave government service in December to 'pursue the next chapter' of his career as President Joe Biden praised his work during the covid pandemic.
'I've been able to call him at any hour of the day for his advice as we've tackled this once-in-a-generation pandemic. His commitment to the work is unwavering, and he does it with an unparalleled spirit, energy, and scientific integrity,' Biden said in a statement.

A pair of Georgia siblings have been awarded $1.7billion in punitive damages from Ford for a 2014 car crash that killed their parents.
In 2014, Voncile and Melvin Hill died after their Ford F-250 blew a tire and rolled over. The couple—aged 62 and 74—were on their way to pick up a new tractor part to be used on their farm in Georgia.
A jury this week ruled that they should have survived the crash and would have had the roof of their F-250 been designed properly.
Instead, it crunched under the impact of the roll and the pair later died of injuries.

Border walls, who needs border walls?
Apparently, only Joe Biden does, the rest of us can go without.
According to a furious editorial by the New York Post:
President Joe Biden is all for open borders — except when it comes to the one around his own vacation spot.
He’s stuck taxpayers with a bill for close to half a million for a security fence around his Delaware beach house, a project ongoing since last September, contracted out to a local builder by the Department of Homeland Security. The irony is rich: The same agency Biden has used to help erase the US southern border is overseeing a wall

Maybe CNN actually is making its way back to authentic journalism after all. In a recent report, the news outlet debunked a lie coming from Democrats regarding Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s decision to transport illegal immigrants to New York City and Washington, D.C.
Previously, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and New York City Mayor Eric Adams claimed that Abbott was bussing illegals to these cities against their will. She said many of these individuals had no idea where they were headed. Abbott’s office denied the allegations, noting that they obtain the written consent of those being transported out of the state.

In 1980, when the voters of Arkansas denied Bill Clinton a second term as the state’s governor, he responded by apologizing to the voters for the poor decisions he had made and asking them how he could have done a better job.

When President Trump re-takes the White House in 2024, we conservatives will be in charge of the House of Representatives and possibly the Senate.
That is the time to fix what has gone so horribly wrong ever since COVID and the 2020 election.
Having read Trump’s book, “The Art of the Deal,” I am going to attempt a death-defying feat here by offering him advice.
His book reveals him to be infinitely patient and a strategic thinker, making few mistakes. He’s a winner, a fighter, and I take a great risk by daring to give him advice. Nevertheless, here is a list of priorities I’d like to see implemented.
Sitting presidents usually get the benefit of the doubt from their own party. But looking ahead, President Joe Biden might have problems whipping up Democratic enthusiasm for a second term. The opposite is true for former President Donald Trump, the latest TIPP Poll shows.
For the August TIPP Poll, we asked members of both parties a similar question: “If the (Democratic/Republican) presidential primary were held today, who would you vote for?” The national poll of 1,182 registered voters was conducted online from Aug. 2-4, with a margin of error of +/-2.9 percentage points.

It’s been 7 years since Donald Trump rode that escalator down to the lobby in Trump Tower to announce one of the greatest publicity stunts in history. The only problem for those who thought it was all an attention-getter was Donald Trump went on to win the presidency. From that moment on, every aspect of Trump’s life has been the subject of wild speculation and straight up lies. There really isn’t anything he hasn’t been accused of, yet there isn’t anything that has ever been proven. It’s time to put up, or shut up.

One of the most interesting phenomena in politics at the current moment is how the left wing of the Democrat Party reacts when the Right points out what it is doing. First, the Right notices. Then Democrats tell us that it isn’t happening. When someone from the Right proves it is happening, the Left asks why we care.
To capitalize on this little dance, a group named Citizens for Sanity is placing billboards and ads all over the country pointing out the worst excesses of the radical Left.
The initial billboard slogans point to some of the worst ideas on the radical Left:
“Protect Pregnant Men from Climate Discrimination."
Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz on Sunday defended former President Donald Trump after the FBI seized documents from the former commander-in-chief’s Mar-a-Lago home.
Dershowitz emphasized on Fox News Channel’s “MediaBuzz” that he voted against Trump twice and was “looking forward” to doing it again but said the FBI engaged in an “improper search” to obtain documents. “Look, I voted against Trump twice. I’m looking forward to an opportunity to vote against him for a third time, but I will not compromise the Fourth Amendment or the Constitution or the principles I’ve stood for all my life in order to get Trump,”
This probably shouldn’t shock you. It didn’t shock me. But it is interesting that an outlet like the Washington Post would so brazenly set out to prove it. In a piece titled “As Biden turns toward midterms, he may not be the top surrogate,” the Post surveyed dozens of Democrats, scoured their ads, social media, and websites, and realized that Joe Biden seems to be deeply unpopular this midterm cycle. Of the 60 or so Democrats they asked, very few said they wanted Biden (or anyone from his administration, actually) to come campaign with them.

If you’ve been following the political chatter for the last month or so, one common theme being pushed by the press and data nerd Twitter is the idea of a Democrat “comeback” before the mid-terms. Historically, every headwind is against Joe Biden and his party, but as the story goes, things will be different this time. After all, the Democrats passed the “Inflation Reduction Act” that doesn’t actually reduce inflation, and Democrats have taken some leads on the generic ballot since the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
My response has been different, though. The generic ballot has often understated Republican support in environments
Some of the Democrats who have been spiking the ball in the end zone after the passage of the so-called “Inflation Reduction Act” probably didn’t read all of the finer details in the bill. They’ve been celebrating its passage along with Joe Biden as the “biggest climate legislation” to ever be passed. They have also been grudgingly thanking West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin for getting the bill over the finish line. But it turns out that Manchin snuck in a few items that haven’t drawn many headlines yet and the climate warriors aren’t going to be very happy about them. While there were billions of dollars
