St. John’s — New York’s largest Catholic university — has gone woke and no longer refers to Monday’s holiday as “Christopher Columbus Day’’ in honor of the explorer hailed as a devout Christian. Some Italian-American civic leaders and alumni are now ripping the Catholic institution for dissing the famous but controversial Italian explorer. “To not acknowledge Columbus is insane,” said Angelo Vivolo, president of the Columbus Heritage Coalition. “Of course it’s an insult.” (Photo) Former Brooklyn state Assemblyman Peter Abbate, a St. John’s alum who earned a bachelor’s degree in history and political science, agreed.

Christopher Columbus was a man of his time. He shouldn't be judged by today's standards, which, if you ask me, aren't very good either.

A retired, senior Pentagon official has confirmed that UFO 'mother ships' were spotted 'releasing swarms of smaller craft' — adding further mystery to the still-unexplained intrusions over multiple US military bases. His statements come amid the release of 50 pages of Air Force records related to provocative 'drone' incursions, that one general calls 'Close Encounters at Langley.' For at least 17 nights last December, swarms of noisy, small UFOs were seen at dusk 'moving at rapid speeds' and displaying 'flashing red, green, and white lights' penetrating the highly restricted airspace above Langley Air Force Base in Virginia.

Officials in a small Massachusetts town are in an uproar over a creative pro-Trump fan displaying his support for the 45th President. As Fox News reported, a man living in Hanson, Massachusetts, has been ordered to stop projecting an epic “Trump 2024” sign from his residence onto the town’s municipal water tower. If he refuses to abide, he will face daily fines. Hanson Town Administrator Lisa Green released a statement after becoming aware the resident’s creative display. She claimed the resident was “misleading” the public into believing the town of Hanson condones his actions and supports Trump.
Veterans don’t buy the media’s anti-Trump

Kamala Harris has a problem with veterans. They overwhelmingly support her opponent — favoring Donald Trump by a lopsided 61% to 37%, according to the latest Pew Research Center survey. For years, civilians have been sold a narrative that just isn’t true. Democrats and liberals in the media invested heavily in trying to portray Trump as a leader at odds with America’s men and women in uniform. But veterans themselves never bought the story — they’ve been one of the Republican’s most steadfast constituencies. Trump won about six out of 10 veterans in each of the past two presidential elections,

Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz’s wife discussed sexual orientation in the classroom as a high school teacher, and spoke to at least one student about his sexuality before he had told his parents he identified as gay, the student said during a campaign event aimed at LGBTQ voters. Jacob Reitan, a former student of Gwen Walz when she taught at Mankato West High School in Minnesota, has said on numerous occasions that Gwen Walz told his entire class “on the very first day” of sophomore year that her class was a safe place for any student that identified as gay or lesbian.

President Joe Biden reportedly warned Iran that assassinating former President Donald Trump would be considered an act of war. Biden’s warning appears to undercut Vice President Kamala Harris, who has not publicly warned or rebuked Iran for its plots to assassinate Trump, though she recently said Iran represented the “greatest adversary” of the United States. (Video) “Moves were already made by Iran that didn’t work out, but they will try again,” Trump previously posted on Truth Social. Fox News reported on Biden’s warning to Iran: President Biden reportedly instructed his National Security Council to make clear to Iran that any attempt on former President Trump’s life

Dr. Stefan Weber, an internationally famous “plagiarism hunter,” has discovered that Kamala Harris “plagiarized at least a dozen sections of her criminal justice book, Smart on Crime,” Christopher Rufo reports. The 2009 work of non-fiction, co-authored with Joan O’C Hamilton was, per Wikipedia, “[f]irst published as Harris (then the San Francisco district attorney) was beginning her 2010 campaign for California Attorney General” and “outlines her vision of how the criminal justice system should function.“ In his summary of findings, Dr. Weber writes, “Kamala Harris copied virtually an entire Wikipedia article into her book without providing attribution to Wikipedia.”

The ragtag members of the Kennedy clan turned out Monday for the funeral of Ethel Kennedy — the widow of Robert F. Kennedy, and the last link to the family’s days of “Camelot” in the White House. Ethel, who died at age 96 following a stroke, was memorialized at a funeral service closed off to the public and press on Cape Cod Monday morning. Somber church bells rang out under overcast skies outside Our Lady of Victory Parish in Centerville, Massacusetts — just a few miles from the Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port. Members of the Kennedy family arrived in limousines and Ethel’s casket was carried into the church covered in white flowers.

Vice President Kamala Harris launched into a bizarre explanation about stars and constellations to explain former President Donald Trump's actions. During an interview with Roland Martin released Monday, the commentator asked Harris to react to former Trump's frequent derision of big cities with large black communities, like Detroit, Chicago and Washington, D.C. 'I talked with somebody once who said, ''You know, if you just look at where the stars are in the sky, don't look at 'em as just random things,'' she said.

Rivera took to X, formerly Twitter, to share a lengthy statement lambasting his former friend Trump for his unwillingness to accept the results of the 2020 election. 'Former President Trump is a sore loser who cannot be trusted to honor the Constitution,' the veteran journalist wrote on Monday. 'That is why I am voting for Kamala Harris to be our 47th President.'

Former President Bill Clinton said Monday that Laken Riley would “probably” still be alive if the Biden-Harris administration had done a better job of vetting the illegal immigrant accused of killing her. Campaigning on behalf of Vice President Kamala Harris, Mr. Clinton created more problems for the Democrat by saying the man charged with the slaying, Jose Ibarra, should not have been able to slip through the cracks. “Well, if they all had been properly vetted, that probably would not have happened,” Mr. Clinton said at a campaign stop in Georgia. Mr. Clinton added that the nation needs properly vetted immigrants to help increase the nation’s declining birth rate

I’ve long found it peculiar that, way back in the 1990s, Tim Walz was taking the lead in promoting the new “Gay-Straight Alliance” club at the school where he worked. Usually, that’s something an openly gay teacher would do. However, when it’s an ostensibly straight teacher, my radar pings. But my pinging radar means nothing. What may also mean nothing is that two citizen journalists are alleging that they’ve found young men speaking anonymously about the fact that Walz groomed them while they were under his aegis in high school.

The world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, Iran, is setting its sights on a new goal: to become a first-rate resort and tourism destination. (snip) “We must recognize that cultural heritage and tourism should become one of the country’s top three priorities. By promoting cultural diplomacy, we can aim for a future where tourism replaces the oil revenues as a primary economic driver,” Salehi-Amiri said. Salehi-Amiri explained that the goal is to attract 15 million tourists to Iran by 2028. He also went on to say that Iran should build hundreds of new hotels by that year.

A brutal crew of baby-faced Tren de Aragua migrant gangbangers at a city-funded Manhattan shelter are pulling off armed robberies in Times Square — and they’re getting away with it, officials and sources said. Nearly two dozen young migrant thugs, some as young as 11-years old, are now part of a dangerous asylum seeking brat pack that has graduated from purse snatchings to gunpoint heists targeting New Yorkers and tourists alike, a top NYPD official told The Post. But they’re managing to stay out of jail because of their ages and the Empire State’s lenient criminal justice laws, Detective Bureau Assistant Chief Jason Savino said.
