A swank midtown Manhattan hotel will be home to hundreds of migrant families, Mayor Eric Adams said Wednesday, announcing that the Row NYC is being turned into the latest “humanitarian relief center” to grapple with an influx of asylum seekers in the city. The four-star Row NYC hotel—located in pricey Times Square and formerly the iconic Milford Plaza—will initially house 200 migrant families and will have the ability to take on even more in the coming weeks, Adams said. The $400-a-night hotel—once billed as being “in the center of it all”—has more than 1,000 rooms and is located in the same district as PS 33,

Reports of flu and other respiratory illnesses are higher than what would normally be seen in the U.S. at this time of year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday. "We've noted that flu activity is starting to increase across much of the country," especially in the Southeast and south-central U.S., the CDC's director, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, told NBC News. "Not everybody got flu vaccinated last year, and many people did not get the flu. So that makes us ripe to have potentially a severe flu season."(Snip)"Flu is on the rise, but it's also all of these other viruses that got knocked off kilter," Esper said.

Dozens of migrants who were flown to Martha’s Vineyard are crime victims, according to a Texas sheriff who is boosting their chances of obtaining special visas to stay in the U.S. Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said he filed certification forms so that immigration lawyers can bolster their arguments for keeping the Venezuelans in the country. The sheriff says the migrants were duped by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, into flying to the tiny Massachusetts island. “Based upon the claims of migrants being transported from Bexar County under false pretenses, we are investigating this case as possible Unlawful Restraint,” Sheriff Salazar said in a statement. “We have submitted documentation

A pair of well-worn 19th-century Levi’s jeans—featuring a racist slogan—has sold at an auction for $76,000. Kyle Hauper, a 23-year-old vintage clothing collector from San Diego, snapped up the rare jeans dating from the 1880s at the Durango Vintage Festivus auction in New Mexico on Oct. 1.

The antique pants are even complete with a vile racist label characteristic of the times.

Democratic operative Charles Dolan Jr. testified Thursday that he lied to Igor Danchenko in 2016 when he claimed to have information from a GOP insider about why Paul Manafort resigned from the Trump campaign. The false claim actually had been pulled from a cable news talking head, Mr. Dolan said at the federal trial of Mr. Danchenko, a Russian analyst who was the primary subsource for the so-called Steele dossier. The accusation ultimately found its way into that salacious unverified dossier of anti-Trump accusations compiled by British ex-spy Christopher Steele and attributed to “an American political figure associated with Donald Trump.”

In a new video being hailed by the left for its depiction of Nancy Pelosi as a defender of freedom and democracy, quite the opposite is actually being revealed.

Michael Cohen, a former personal attorney for Donald Trump, said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” he would leave the country if Trump wins the presidency again.
Cohen said, “This is a whole new set of dynamics when it comes to dealing with a man who is legitimately the most powerful person on the planet and a guy who is a narcissistic sociopath who doesn’t care about anyone willing to do anything to protect himself. I also believe that you’re going to start to see the kids getting in big trouble, and you’ll see Trump throw them under the bus, too, because he just doesn’t care.”

It's no secret that billionaire philanthropist and financier George Soros has had a hand in the rise of many major political players. From his heavy investment in the sheriffs in Arizona to his funding of grassroots activists in Ferguson, Soros's money and influence seem to be nestled in every nook and cranny across the country. But just in the past month, two judges in two different states have stood up against prominent figures that are heavily funded by Soros: Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams and Virginia's Loudoun County commonwealth attorney Buta Biberaj.
