New York Mayor Eric Adams blasted city council’s “far-left agenda” after it approved two controversial bills on Wednesday banning solitary confinement for inmates in jails and forcing police officers to report every street encounter, no matter how small. The embattled mayor, a former NYPD captain, was staunchly opposed to both bills, whose passage he blamed on a “numerical minority” that is “controlling the narrative.” “This assault on public safety is just wrong,” Adams told WABC radio host John Catsimatidis on his “Cats & Cosby Show” Wednesday night.

Are we witnessing another Blue State politician conversion? Will Mayor Adams throw off the shackles of the Democrat Plantation and become one of the truly free?

what in the Hell is he braying about??? - he's as far left as the City Council so he has no room to throw brickbats - his bread is buttered by the demcommie party and any remonstrance he yelps about is pure window dressing - he's a wolf in sheep's clothing and I wouldn't trust anything he says or does purely because of that

Maybe if you mentioned that most of the "immigrants" broke the law to get here, and hence are illegal aliens, you might wake up some people to the invasion we are seeing here in Texas.

The Mayor needs to ask if any of these new criminal friendly bills are making anyone, just one person, safer? This will just get more police officers to leave the NYPD.

#2 ……. Wishful thinking about Adam’s, the problem is he hates white folks and says it in closed door situations but it gets recorded and leaked. He is a big racist just like the Democrat Party, I think he knows the party is crashing and burning so he’s positioning him self as the contrast so he can run for President in the near future, don’t trust him at all!

So if I am an inmate that other inmates want to kill, I just have to deal with it in the general population? No more sanctuary in solitary confinement. I predict a rise in the deaths of jailed child molesters.

Czech police say a shooting in downtown Prague has killed an unspecified number of people and wounded others. Police gave no details about the victims or the circumstances of Thursday’s gunfire in the Czech Republic’s capital. Czech public television said, citing police, the person who opened fire was eliminated. They say officers were deployed due to a shooting at a school in Jan Palach Square. The Philosophical Faculty of Charles University and the Academy of Arts, Architecture, and Design are located in that area. The police department said the square has been sealed off. It urged people also to leave the surrounding streets and stay inside.

Yesterday, I was chatting with two grammar school friends, who live on the Jersey Shore. One suggested they come into the city to meet me for holiday cocktails — but the other protested. “You couldn’t pay me enough to visit that rat-infested hellhole,” he said. After more than two decades of living in New York City, I am used to some variation of that sentiment — especially since the pandemic. Normally, I laugh and move on.

Some top Democrats are worried that a dip in Black voter turnout, along with other challenges, could doom President Joe Biden and his party in 2024. A group of Democrats is offering a new analysis of the most recent campaigns in Georgia and Michigan, pitching those battlegrounds as models for drawing in more Black voters next year and beyond. They argue that Democratic power players need to think — and spend money — in new ways, going beyond efforts that can be last-minute or superficial as they try to reassemble Biden’s 2020 coalition. “The days of the symbolic fish fry and one-time church visit are over,

The Colorado Supreme Court's ruling to disqualify the former president from the Republican Party's upcoming primary ballot is yet another unprecedented moment in US politics. It's a decision that further blurs the lines between America's political and judicial systems, setting up a fresh collision between the election campaign and the courts. However, this latest legal setback is unlikely to seriously damage Mr Trump's bid to return to the White House - and he is already using it to his political advantage.

The Colorado Supreme Court's decision to bar Donald Trump from the state's ballot will help the former president in his quest to win the Republican nomination next year, political insiders in both parties say.

Republican elected officials raced to rally around Trump in the hours after the ruling was released Tuesday — even those not backing him for president in 2024. Sen.

A federal judge on Wednesday blocked a California law that would have banned carrying firearms in most public places, ruling that it violates the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and deprives people of their ability to defend themselves and their loved ones. The law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in September was set to take effect Jan. 1. It would have prohibited people from carrying concealed guns in 26 places including public parks and playgrounds, churches, banks and zoos. The ban would apply whether the person has a permit to carry a concealed weapon or not.

People who are driven from public office by scandal usually take a timeout to recover from the shame. Those who later try to return do so with promises they learned their lessons, and some even go on apology tours to ask for a second chance. Then there’s Andrew Cuomo. Humble pie is not for him. He resigned as New York’s governor in August 2021 rather than face certain impeachment and conviction over a slew of issues but never admitted guilt or serious error and soon began plotting a comeback. When polls showed he would finish a distant third in a three-way race for his former job in 2022, he took a pass.

The backlog of pending cases in the nation’s immigration courts has hit 3 million, as millions of border migrants have been released into the United States to seek asylum in the past three years. It’s a shocking figure, but just the latest example of the president’s efforts to break the immigration-enforcement system, likely to force a massive amnesty he has long sought. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas — among others — has accused former President Trump of “gutting” the immigration system, but such claims are little more than projection.

It's not news that the world has become an increasingly dangerous place since President Biden took office. Russia invaded Ukraine as Biden insisted his sanctions would deter Putin's ambitions. Israel was attacked in a bloody slaughter carried out by Iran-backed Hamas terrorists.

It has been called the disenfranchisement of millions of Trump supporters. Trump's legal team has stated that they will immediately file an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. Republicans are outraged by the decision, so much so that now, according to Breitbart, GOP lawmakers in three states are introducing bills that would remove President Joe Biden from the ballot - states that will be key on election night 2024.

The true threat to the demise of our democracy lies with the Democrats, not Donald Trump. The communist party will now decide the Democratic Party’s nominee and who they install into the White House.

The 79-year-old Democrat was convicted on 13 of the 14 charges leveled against him in a 2019 federal indictment accusing the veteran Chicago City Council member of using his position to steer business from private developers to his law firm. Prosecutors also alleged that Burke threatened to block a measure raising admission fees at Chicago’s famed Field Museum over its failure to grant an internship to the daughter of a former alderman, whom he had recommended.

The “Bible” of the English Language, the Oxford English Dictionary of 1932, defined the word “ghoul” as “An evil spirit supposed in Mohammedan countries to rob graves and prey on human corpses.” That sounds right. The world was even treated to a display of this on October 7 when an army of Jihadist Arabs violently raped not only living Jewish females but also their dead bodies. One can also assume that they sodomized the remains of dead Jewish men and boys too. From reports by survivors of captivity in Gaza, there is reason to believe, given what is known of Arab sexuality, that the remaining men and boy hostages

A Nicaraguan man who was deported from the US five times has been sentenced to 19 years behind bars for raping an Ohio woman — claiming that he committed the depraved act because he was “possessed by a demon.” German Mathews, 40, pulled his hoodie over his head before sexually assaulting the developmentally disabled woman on April 29 while she walked to a Forest Park bus stop, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported. His hands were “covered in the victim’s blood” after he viciously beat the 44-year-old woman in the head and face, police Sgt. Jackie Dreyer said.
