It’s a green new day for weed dealers in the Big Apple. Mayor Adams promised Friday to not take a “heavy-handed” approach toward those who sell marijuana illicitly in the city and gave New Yorkers his blessing to smoke more pot. While New York legalized recreational weed use last year, the licensing system that’s supposed to regulate cannabis sales isn’t expected to kick off until late 2022—and Adams said Friday afternoon that he doesn’t see a need for cracking down on anyone caught dealing ganja out of stores or on the street in the interim.(Snip)“Enjoy yourself, light up, but most importantly, spend some money. We want your

A marine vessel carrying 842 Haitian migrants en route to the United States accidentally landed in Villa Clara, Cuba, on Tuesday, baffling locals in a country enduring its own mass exodus, the independent outlet Cubanet reported Wednesday. Cubanet noted that Castro regime-controlled media outlets confirmed the news and that reports indicated many of the hundreds of people on board were children, “including newborns.” The Communist Party is expected to deport the Haitian nationals back to their country, where they may be free to attempt to escape again.(Snip)“In compliance with international norms, Cuban authorities immediately proceeded to provide them with medical care and humanitarian assistance,”

A young mother who was mown down with her eight-month-old son in Los Angeles by a 16-year-old driving a stolen car has told of her anger at the teenager being sentenced to five months at a probationary camp. She accused the controversial Los Angeles district attorney, George Gascon, of 'prioritizing the livelihood of rotten monsters' with his lenient sentencing, and added: 'George Gascon doesn't value my life or the life of my child, or any other victim out there.'
(Snip)'As the car got dangerously close to us, KB turned the wheels in our direction and accelerated as he aimed to kill us.'

Washington—A U.S. Embassy tweet of a rainbow-flag-festooned message by President Joe Biden in support of Pride Month has drawn a face-to-face diplomatic protest from Kuwait and sparked a rare Twitter fight between the two close allies. On Friday, U.S. diplomats were doubling down with rainbow flag postings and statements in support of LGBTQ rights on social media. The messages appeared in response to the Kuwaiti government's official objection the day before to what Kuwait's state news agency called the “pro-gay rights post” of the U.S. Embassy there. “The United States stands with the LGBTQI+ community everywhere around the world,” State Department spokesman Ned Price said

Rep. Chris Jacobs is dropping his reelection bid after coming under fire from fellow Republicans for backing a ban on assault weapons.
The New York Republican said his newfound views on gun control would make a re-election bid difficult and divisive. “The last thing we need is an incredibly negative, half-truth-filled media attack, funded by millions of dollars in special interest money coming into our community around this issue of guns and gun violence and gun control,” he said in announcing his withdrawal from the race. Last week, Mr. Jacobs shocked many by signaling support for a ban on assault weapons. He also endorsed raising the minimum age

American businesses are increasingly emphasizing transgender activism in Pride Month initiatives ranging from drag queen brunches to books that invite young children to question their biological sex. Pride Month, an annual commemoration of the 1968 Stonewall riots that the gay community organized in New York City’s Greenwich Village, traditionally focused on gay marriage.(Snip)Out Leadership—an LGBT business network with 94 corporate members including Amazon, American Express, Bloomberg, Citi, CocaCola, Comcast, Goldman Sachs, IBM, Microsoft, Nike and Walmart—says it’s good business to embrace those gender identity trends. “Companies have long supported the LGBTQ community because they know that inclusion in all its forms is simply good for their bottom

St. Cloud—Islamic leaders here Friday asked authorities to investigate a possible hate crime after 33-year-old St. Cloud resident Musa Sabriye was found dead in a charred car Monday in the neighboring city of Waite Park. "What is critical is for us to know how Musa lost his life—what caused him to lose his life and if somebody was involved in taking his life," said Sabriye's brother Abdullahi Ali, speaking in his native Somali through a translator. "We need steadfastness and quick justice."(Snip)Jama Alimad, a Somali elder, said he feels the community generally has a good relationship with area police but wants to ensure

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) improperly gave $10 million in Chinese coronavirus funds to illegal aliens in the form of stimulus checks, state oversight officials allege. As Breitbart News reported last year, Murphy provided the state’s nearly half a million illegal aliens with rounds of stimulus checks to the sum of tens of millions of dollars—paid for by American taxpayers—that was meant as coronavirus relief for Americans. Now, the state’s Office of Legislative Services (OLS) is accusing Murphy of improperly allocating $10 million to fund stimulus checks for illegal aliens in New Jersey, NJ.com reports: Gov. Phil Murphy’s administration in April made what appears to be an improper

Dr. Anthony Fauci took a barely veiled swipe at former President Donald Trump and Republicans during a college commencement speech Friday—just two days after claiming he wouldn’t “get involved in any politics” related to the 2024 election. Speaking to more than 3,700 graduates of the City College of New York in Harlem, Fauci said, “It is blatantly obvious that we are experiencing a deepening divisiveness in our nation, fed by a flagrant devaluation of the truth.” “While genuine differences of opinion or ideology are part of a healthy society, increasingly we are hearing, reading and seeing outlandish statements and pronouncements propped up by deliberate distortions of reality,”

The fight in Ukraine has become “a war of attrition” and Western aid for Kyiv against Russia is more vital than ever, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said Thursday, offering a grim assessment of the bloody conflict as it nears the 100-day mark but also expressing deep solidarity with the embattled government in Kyiv.
Speaking to reporters at the White House after meeting with President Biden, the NATO chief outlined a broad strategy for the transatlantic military alliance for the weeks and months to come. It’s focused primarily on ramping up arms shipments and other assistance to Ukraine to help repel Russia‘s major offensive in the eastern Donbas region

Dandy Mayor Eric is pictured standing before a sign that says "Gay" on it 30 or 40 times, with another sign proclaiming that "don't say gay" is not in the Rotten Apple vocabulary, along with someone wearing a Pride face mask (maybe with a ball gag underneath). Pride flags fly freely everywhere in the city, and who knows how many fabulous parades and other events will be held, to include lighting skyscrapers in the color scheme they demand, but even that doesn't satisfy the Lavender Mafia, which is in a snit because the mayor hired two people who are not 100% on board with The Gay Lifestyle. Behold, tolerance and acceptance in action; they call the shots or else.
