After the bombshell indictment of Eric Adams by a federal grand jury, New York City’s powerful business community is scrambling to figure out how to deal with the real possibility of a socialist taking over City Hall. Business titans are said to be terrified at the prospect of Jumaane Williams, the left-wing, anti-cop Public Advocate running the city if Adams is either forced to resign or removed by Gov. Kathy Hochul amid the corruption scandal that has engulfed his mayoralty. “This is scary stuff,” one top business leader told the Post.

Few in the media seemed eager to attend a ceremony last week in Washington, D.C., where the prestigious American Academy of Sciences and Letters was awarding its top intellectual freedom award. The problem may have been the recipient: Stanford Professor Dr. Jay Bhattacharya. Bhattacharya has spent years being vilified by the media over his dissenting views on the pandemic. As one of the signatories of the 2020 Great Barrington Declaration, he was canceled, censored, and even received death threats.
While the WNBA is getting sellout crowds for the finals between the New York Liberty and Minnesota Lynx, the league’s owners will not be making a return on their investment for the foreseeable future, sources close to the situation said. The NBA owns nearly 60 percent of the league. When one combines the NBA owners’ personal stakes in WNBA teams and the WNBA itself, the amount rises to 75 percent, a source with direct knowledge of the numbers said.
Jewish support for the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee is on track to be the lowest since the Ronald Reagan era, according to a new poll from the Manhattan Institute. If the election were held today, Harris would win the support of just 67% of Jewish voters, while former President Trump would take 31% of Jews, the survey found. More than four out of five described themselves as “enthusiastic” about their choice. Though Jewish voters on the whole remain overwhelmingly supportive of Democrats, that support has dipped noticeably from highs achieved during administrations of Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush.
Iranian operatives in the US fund and fuel hate on campus and spread propaganda across the country — and even get face time with friendly American elected officials, according to an alarming new report on extremism by George Washington University researchers. In one of the report’s concerning images, Vice President Kamala Harris is seen happily mingling with an imam at the center of the murderous regime’s influence campaign. An Iranian-born cleric who served as head of the Iranian Navy’s political-ideological office during the 1980s, Imam Mohammad Ali Elahi has deep, decades-long ties to his homeland, and has praised the Islamic Republic’s bloodthirsty founder
My only conversation with Pete Rose came in the early 1980s, when he was with the Phillies. And he started it. It was early April, a Friday night, and the Phils were to be on NBC’s “Game of the Week,” the next day. Some NBC public relations fellows were driving down to Philly for the game and asked if I’d like to join them. With our red media field-access credentials dangling from our belts, we watched batting practice from behind the cage. When Rose finished his swings, he walked over, eyed the press passes, then began to speak. Boy, did he.

Eric Adams to resign following historic
indictment: poll 10 replies
A staggering 69% of New Yorkers believe Mayor Eric Adams should resign after he was slapped with bombshell federal corruption charges, a new poll published Friday shows. A whopping 71% of Adams’ own Democratic Party think Hizzoner should call it quits — and 80% think he shouldn’t run for office again, according to the Marist New York City Poll, the first since the mayor was indicted. If he does stick to his word and fight the charges, nearly two-thirds of voters — 63% — believe Gov. Kathy Hochul should tap her rarely used power as governor to force him to step down, the poll shows.

The US Navy intercepted a barrage of Houthi missiles and drones launched at three of its warships in the Red Sea on Thursday, two US defense officials said. The attack was one of the largest yet on US warships in the Middle East, one of the officials told CNN. The barrage was launched at the USS Spruance and USS Stockdale — both guided missile destroyers — and the USS Indianapolis, a littoral combat ship, as they traveled north of the Bab el-Mandeb strait. The crucial waterway connects the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. The US ships were targeted “while they were en route to support

Two Missouri teens have been arrested for fatally shooting a beloved Irish chef who brought the community together with “his culinary creations” in front of his Kansas City restaurant. Shaun Brady, 44, was taking out the trash at his eatery, dubbed Brady’s KC, on Wednesday when he saw several people loitering around parked cars out back, Kansas City Police Department Sgt. Phil DiMartino said Thursday, according to KCTV.
The cherished figure in Kansas City’s Irish community then confronted the group, which escalated into violence and led to Brady being fatally shot steps away from his restaurant, DiMartino said.
The United Nations is “terrified” at the prospect of a second Trump presidency, according to a leaked conversation with a senior official at the global agency. “I’m not sure the United Nations is going to survive a second term from Donald Trump,” Jorge Paoletti, an associate legal officer at the UN Office of Legal Affairs in New York, told an undercover reporter from podcaster Steven Crowder’s Mug Club.
Joe Biden was sunning himself at his Rehoboth Beach house and Kamala Harris was holed away with staff in Washington this week on the third anniversary of their disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal. Only Donald Trump bothered to show up to the wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery for the Gold Star families of the 13 service members killed by a suicide bomber in the chaotic evacuation from Kabul. For a man damned as an unfeeling monster by Democrats, Trump always manages to outshine Biden and Harris in the empathy stakes, whether he is meeting victims of a toxic train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, visiting a bodega in crime-wracked Harlem

WASHINGTON — ABC News has declined to adopt Vice President Kamala Harris’ request to have wholly unmuted microphones during her Sept. 10 debate with former President Donald Trump — after days of wrangling over what Republicans viewed as Democratic attempts to lay a trap for the GOP nominee. A network email reviewed by The Post lays out similar rules as those for Trump’s June 27 CNN debate against President Biden — including no audience, no pre-written notes or props and muted mics when a candidate is not speaking. Trump and Harris will be standing on stage

Michigan Democratic Rep. Debbie Dingell surprised CNN’s Jake Tapper by insisting that former President Trump has shared plans to put people into internment camps if he’s re-elected. Dingell was asked by "The Lead" host on Monday how she felt about various Arab American Michigan voters protesting President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, while other Muslim leaders recently endorsed Trump at a rally.
Although she acknowledged the Muslim and Arab American community is not a monolithic voting bloc, Dingell argued they need to be told Trump would only be harmful to them.
Barbara Pierce Bush, the daughter of former President George W. Bush and granddaughter of former President George H.W. Bush, spent time over the past weekend in Pennsylvania on the campaign trail for Vice President Kamala Harris as the 2024 election hits the final week before voting.
The scion of the noted Republican family gave PEOPLE magazine a statement to confirm she is working on behalf of the Democratic candidate in the critical swing state.“It was inspiring to join friends and meet voters with the Harris-Walz campaign in Pennsylvania this weekend,” Barbara, 42, told PEOPLE on Tuesday. “I’m hopeful they’ll move our country forward and protect women’s rights.”

As Paper Loses 200K Subscribers Over Endorsement Debacle 34 replies
Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos has reportedly told the newspaper that it needs to add more conservative columnists in a bid to make the paper more balanced.
The directive comes as the paper has lost more than hundreds of thousands of subscribers over the last several days after Bezos killed the Editorial Board’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris.
NPR reported that by midday on Monday, more than 200,000 people canceled their subscriptions, more than 8% of the company’s total number of subscribers.
Bezos has told people at the newspaper that he wants to grow the paper’s reach with conservatives,
President Biden raged against “Kill Tony” podcast host Tony Hinchcliffe’s joke about Puerto Rico being a “floating island of garbage” and suggested that was a good description for supporters of former President Donald Trump.
“Donald Trump has no character. He doesn’t give a damn about the Latino community,” Biden said during a campaign call at the White House Tuesday first reported by NBC. “Just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage.”
“The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters. His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s unAmerican.”
Actress Teri Garr has died at age 79.
Garr died Tuesday morning in Los Angeles after a long battle with multiple sclerosis, her publicist, Heidi Schaeffer, confirmed to The Post.
She is survived by her daughter Molly O’Neil, 30, and grandson Tyryn, 6.
The late star was best known for her roles in the films “Young Frankenstein” and “Tootsie,” the latter of which earned her an Oscar nomination.
Garr was born on December 11, 1944 in Lakewood, Ohio. She moved to Los Angeles and then later to New York to pursue acting. She started out as a go-go dancer and made appearances in six Elvis Presley musicals in the 1960s.

GRAHAM "Dingo" Dinkelman was a renowned South African wildlife conservationist, snake handler and broadcaster. The popular YouTuber tragically passed away on October 28, 2024, following a month-long battle in hospital. His death was the result of complications from a venomous snake bite he sustained while working with reptiles, a field he was deeply passionate about.
Dubbed the 'South African Steve Irwin', Dingo had amassed more than 100,000 YouTube subscribers and over 600,000 Instagram followers at the time of his passing. Graham Dinkelman was born on June 15, 1980, in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
From a young age he displayed a keen interest in wildlife, particularly reptiles.
He attended Maritzburg College,
Nothing says joy like an abortion, am I right? If you cringed reading that, take it up with Vice President Kamala Harris.
On Friday, just 11 days from the election, the Democratic presidential nominee campaigned in Houston in part to boost the Democrat running for the Senate. But she wasn't here only for a Senate race.By talking about abortion and basking in the fame of a celebrity or two, Harris tried to make an example of Texas while peddling a false narrative about joy and freedom to women.
I hope women see through this charade.
Vice President Kamala Harris pivoted to a message of unity in her closing argument to the nation on Tuesday night, after having spent the last weeks of her campaign insisting that her opponent is a fascist whose election poses an existential threat to the future of the nation.
Addressing a crowd of supporters from the Ellipse in downtown Washington, D.C. — the same spot where Trump, on January 6, 2021, infamously urged his followers to march on the Capitol — Harris cited the Capitol riot as the primary example of her opponent’s unfitness for office. “Look, we know who Donald Trump is.
Is the Left Preparing for War If Trump Wins
16 replies
The propaganda campaign labeling Donald Trump as an aspiring dictator determined to use the military and national security apparatus against his political opponents is designed not to affect the upcoming election but rather to shape the post-election environment. It is the central piece of a narrative that, by characterizing Trump as a tyrant (indeed likening him to Hitler), establishes the conditions for violence — not just another attempt on Trump’s life, but political violence on a massive scale intended to destabilize the country.
As I write in my forthcoming book Disappearing the President, Democratic Party research and media reports show that many senior party officials and operatives are preparing for
The House Judiciary Committee is examining a new whistleblower report that the FBI targeted Donald Trump soon after he announced his presidential campaign in June 2015, an off-the-books operation ordered by FBI Director James Comey that predated the Crossfire Hurricane operation.
An FBI agent involved in the probe revealed the off-the-books criminal investigation on Tuesday in a protected disclosure sent to the committee.
The whistleblower disclosure said that two female FBI undercover agents successfully infiltrated Mr. Trump’s 2016 campaign at high levels and were directed to act as “honey pots” while traveling with Mr. Trump and his campaign staff on the trail.
President Trump called on a crowd of supporters to "forgive" President Biden after he compared the former president's supporters to garbage.
"Wow. That's terrible," Trump said, invoking Hillary Clinton’s infamous "deplorable" remarks in the weeks before the 2016 election. "And then she said irredeemable. That didn't work out."
The Republican nominee called on his supporters to forgive him during a packed rally at the PPL Center in Allentown, Pennsylvania. "Garbage, I think, is worse," he said. "But he doesn't know. You have to please forgive him."
There appears to be some election shenanigans happening on the Left Coast. In Oregon and Washington, someone dropped incendiary devices into ballot drop boxes. In Washington, hundreds of ballots were torched in the process; the ones in Portland were not damaged. The incidents are reportedly linked, which has led to a federal investigation. Authorities have a vehicle of interest connected to the ballot box fires captured on video, though the license plate was missing. (snip) This is something to watch since the Washington fires occurred in congressional races that are toss-ups.

New York had a radical socialist mayor sixty years ago. His name was John Lindsay. Because he was tall and handsome - - the idiot women voters elected and re-elected him. His good looks hid the fact that he was a devoted communist - - and his eight years in office had a lasting, devastating impact on the city. No future commie mayor could be much worse than Lindsay.
