There is no moral or legal equivalence between non-violent mischief — such as tearing down flags and shouting racial insults — and committing life-threatening assaults upon people based on their religion and ethnicity. The anti-Israel rioters were hunting down Jews... Muslim extremists have a long history of hurling spears in response to non-violent insults. Recall the numerous deadly attacks — shootings, stabbings, bombings and lethal fatwas—against those who allegedly insulted the prophet by picturing him or authoring books about him. There was also violence against those who burned Korans or otherwise demeaned Islam. Even cartoons provoked deadly responses.

Congestion pricing leaves a bad taste in his mouth.
The owner of a New York City diner name-dropped by Gov. Kathy Hochul said she never comes by anymore — but he’s afraid her controversial $9 congestion toll can put him out of business.
Hochul repeatedly insisted Thursday she talks to regular folks at diners who support the new fee for drivers in Manhattan below 60th Street, but Comfort Diner owner Tarek Soliman said he hasn’t seen much of the politician after her 2022 gubernatorial race.

On November 5, 2024, a gigantic red wave engulfed America, elevating everything politically red to great heights and largely obliterating everything politically blue in its path.
It’s been only a week since the presidential election, but let’s ask the following questions anyway:
WHAT DID RED GAIN?
The White House — Oval Office.
The U.S. Senate.
The U.S. House of Representatives.
The Electoral College.
The popular vote.
All seven swing states.
State governor majority.
State Legislature majority.

The last few years have been totally mind-boggling. Absolutely nothing has made sense from the number of genders and pronouns seeming to grow bigger every day to the fact that men could now play as women in sporting events. It was now acceptable to believe that men(?) could be pregnant and a tampon machine could be allowed in boys' locker rooms. Total madness has become the norm, especially in Hollywood with dimwitted stars helping their minor children transition into another gender while considering themselves self-righteously supportive instead of being responsible parents.
‘Climate change is the challenge of our lifetimes,” we in the energy-hungry West often hear when lectured by leftist government officials and their allies pushing the “Net-Zero” religion. But what happens if much of the vital data behind the climate-change threat are made up?
Turns out, quite a lot of it is. At least that’s what the Daily Sceptic, a British-based science watchdog, claims. It recently detailed the allegations made by an independent journalist showing that 103 of the 302 supposed “weather stations” that provide data for both the United Kingdom government’s and academic scientists’ climate change forecasts don’t exist or produce actual data.
That’s right.
New Hampshire Republicans are projected to maintain trifecta control of state government heading into 2025, according to preliminary results released this week.
Updated vote totals show Republicans expanding their majority in the Granite State’s House of Representatives. As of this article’s publication, Republicans are projected to win at least 203 House seats. The GOP held 197 seats heading into the Nov. 5 contest, compared to Democrats’ 191. Republicans holding their House majority is welcome news after preliminary results last week showed them retaining the state Senate and governor’s mansion. According to The New York Times, Republicans won 16 of the state’s 24 Senate seats,
In a video posted on X on November 7, 2024, two days after the election, Trump detailed a plan to dismantle the Deep State. In this three-minute video, Trump explained how he would take a series of measures to “shatter the Deep State.”
In this video, Trump made the same mistake JFK made when JFK said he was going to break the CIA into a thousand pieces after the Bay of Pigs fiasco. By announcing his intention in advance, JFK signed his death warrant. Trump has now declared war on the Deep State as president-elect.
Will the last Florida Republican who leaves Congress for the Trump administration please turn out the lights?
That’s one takeaway from President-elect Donald Trump’s slam-dunk selection of Panhandle Rep. Matt Gaetz for his second-term attorney general.
As opposed to his first-term AGs, Jeff Sessions and Bill Barr, there is no doubt where the always-quotable congressman falls with his legal and political philosophy.
He is, from beginning to end, a pit-bull defender of Donald Trump, in good times, in bad times and everything in between.
At a low point for Trump reputationally, for example, as Republicans lined up to begin what some actually thought would be a post-

Republicans have won enough seats to control the U.S. House, completing the party’s sweep into power and securing their hold on U.S. government alongside President-elect Donald Trump.
A House Republican victory in Arizona, alongside a win in slow-counting California earlier Wednesday, gave the GOP the 218 House victories that make up the majority. Republicans earlier gained control of the Senate from Democrats.
With hard-fought yet thin majorities, Republican leaders are envisioning a mandate to upend the federal government and swiftly implement Trump’s vision for the country.
Special counsel Jack Smith reportedly plans to retire before President-elect Donald Trump takes office in January, denying the incoming president a chance to fire him.
Smith, who oversaw the federal criminal cases against Trump related to the 78-year-old’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election and the hoarding of classified documents, is wrapping up his work ahead of the 47th president’s inauguration on Jan. 20, 2025, the New York Times reported.
Smith’s plan is to get ahead of Trump’s promise to “fire” the special counsel within “two seconds” after being sworn in, sources told the outlet.

Alina Habba, a top ally and former lawyer for President-elect Donald Trump, revealed Tuesday that she would “very seriously” consider an opportunity to serve as his White House press secretary.
Habba, 40, was asked multiple times by Fox News host Sean Hannity about a report suggesting that she is “the favorite” for the role and did not rule out the possibility of serving in the incoming administration.
“I leave it to the president and the three people that are on my board of directors — that’s Luke, Chloe and Parker, my children. Everybody will know in time,” she said.
Watching Gov. Hochul stumble from one blunder to another, I’m reminded of Casey Stengel’s exasperated question about the hapless 1962 Mets: “Can’t anybody here play this game?”
As it was with the Mets, the answer in Hochul’s case is a resounding no.

Liberal women have sworn to go on sex strike over Donald Trump’s election win.
Mr Trump swept to victory in Tuesday’s presidential race that Democrats cast as a referendum on abortion rights and protections for women.
Some women are now threatening to punish men for voting for Trump, taking inspiration from a Korean feminist movement that vows to withhold sex from men in order to redefine the gender power balance.

Democrat Rep. Wiley Nickel (D-NC) is so bereaved by Vice President Kamala Harris’s loss and President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks that he is suggesting Democrats take action and form a “shadow government,” operating to oppose the Trump agenda that the majority if the country voted for.
Nickel put forth his idea in an op-ed in the Washington Post, asserting that it is time for America to “borrow from our British friends and appoint a shadow cabinet to fight back against the worst excesses of a second Trump administration.” He laid out his vision on the House floor, asserting that “new times call for new solutions.”“Last week stung.
OAKLAND, Calif. - A recent poll showed that Vice President Kamala Harris could have a strong advantage if she chooses to run for governor of California in 2026 when Gov. Gavin Newsom’s term ends. The survey, carried out by the University of California, Berkeley's Institute of Governmental Studies and co-sponsored by the Los Angeles Times, indicated that nearly half of the 4,838 participants might support Harris in a potential gubernatorial bid. The Times reported that Harris's support would mostly come from Democratic voters, with 72% indicating they would be very or somewhat likely to back her for governor. In contrast

11 Million Illegal Aliens. Is That Even Possible? 35 replies
During his campaign, Donald Trump promised moms like Jackie Medina he would deport millions of illegal immigrants, including criminals like the man who killed her 16-year-old daughter Lizbeth last year.
But can he even do it?
There are an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the U.S., and Trump has vowed to deport “all” of them. The vast majority aren’t dangerous, and many have lived and worked in the U.S. for years. Does the president-elect really plan to deport such a massive number, even those who don’t pose an immediate threat to society? While border security needs to be tightened,
Former Vice President Mike Pence has urged Senate Republicans to reject President-elect Donald Trump’s nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS).
Mike Pence, who famously turned his back on Trump after serving under him during his first term, has now released a scathing statement on Kennedy’s nomination.
Pence, in an ironic twist, called it “deeply concerning” and labeled it a “betrayal” of the pro-life values their administration once stood for.
On Thursday, President Trump announced his decision to appoint Kennedy to the pivotal role,
New Yorkers aren’t letting Whoopi Goldberg’s sourpuss act spoil their favorite spot for sweet treats, after she put a local bakery on blast on national TV, alleging they refused to serve her because of her lefty political beliefs.
“I think it’s ridiculous. Why would she come all the way to Staten Island for her cupcake? To make an issue? They’ve been here forever,” Deborah Bernaz, 68, said of the comic’s claims against the beloved 145-year-old Holtermann’s Bakery on Staten Island.
“I don’t think it has anything to do with politics. They’re a little Staten Island bakery. I think it’s bulls–t what she’s saying. Leave politics out of the bakery,”

Laura Helmuth, the editor-in-chief of Scientific American, has resigned after receiving fierce backlash for her expletive-filled online tirade in which she called Donald Trump voters “f****** fascists” on election night.
“I’ve decided to leave Scientific American after an exciting 4.5 years as editor in chief,” Helmuth announced on her Bluesky account Thursday.
“I’m going to take some time to think about what comes next (and go birdwatching).” Helmuth’s resignation comes after she fired off a series of social media posts on election night bashing people who voted for former President Donald Trump over Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris.

Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) said Friday on CNN’s “The Lead” that she hopes President-elect Donald Trump reconsiders replacing FBI director Christopher Wray, whom he previously appointed in 2017, with Kash Patel.
Host Jake Tapper said, “So Trump is also reportedly considering Kash Patel as FBI director. Patel worked in the Defense Department during Trump’s first term. He’s promised in the past to essentially go after Trump’s enemies, and including people in the media. He has not been formally nominated, but it is definitely true that Trump is considering making him FBI director. Do you have a take on him?”
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has filed to run for reelection in 2026 even as she is reportedly doing “terrible” after President-elect Donald Trump’s massive victory and Republicans taking the Senate and retaining the House majority.
The 84-year-old career politician, whose district covers San Francisco, has been in the House since 1987 and remains so after winning a 20th term last week.
She made her thoughts clear on the election outcome by saying Democrats might have fared better if President Joe Biden had exited the race sooner and gone before the party turned on him.
Taylor Swift, who endorsed Kamala Harris for president, is reportedly seeing ticket prices fall for the latest leg of her “Eras” tour, which will play in Toronto this week — in some cases, prices have dropped by hundreds of dollars.
The series of concerts will mark Taylor Swift’s first “Eras” performances since President-elect Donald Trump decisively trounced Kamala Harris in the election last week, winning both the electoral and popular votes.
In a report published by the New York Post, tickets now start at $991, before fees, while just three days ago, the lowest price was $1,321 before fees, based on searches carried out
