progressive activist Nomiki Konst
Posted By: Mercedes44, 2/14/2025 5:18:14 AM
His political career may be over — but his heart will go on. Former Mayor Bill de Blasio revealed Thursday that he is in a new romantic relationship — with a raven-haired progressive pundit decades his junior, who shares his lefty views and his desire to “cuddle.” The 63-year-old Democrat is romantically involved with liberal activist Nomiki Konst, 41, and plans to spend Valentine’s Day snuggling with her and sipping wine.“Nomi and I have started a really lovely relationship, just in time for Valentine’s Day. We’ve known each other for a long time and are very kindred souls,” he texted The Post — adding a red heart emoji.

Trump Puts the Squeeze on Iran
6 replies
As anticipated, President Donald Trump has ramped up his maximum pressure sanctions campaign on the Iranian regime. Trump was concerned that the Biden administration had softened the American approach to the oppressive theocratic regime, enabling it to increase its oil production revenues. Tehran’s oil exports brought in $53 billion in 2023 and $54 billion in 2022, according to US Energy Information Administration estimates, and output during 2024 was reckoned to be running at its highest level since 2018, based on OPEC data.
New York Attorney General Letitia James appeared outside of federal court in New York City on Friday to talk about a lawsuit that she and others Democrat attorneys general had filed against the Trump administration in regard to the actions of DOGE and access to information. James is trying to stand in the way of DOGE's effort to root out fraud, waste, and abuse. During her remarks, she spewed a bunch of things that weren't true. She claimed Elon Musk was a "private individual" who "no one elected," and "no one has allowed to have access" to this information.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on Thursday night didn’t rule out removing Mayor Eric Adams from office after allegations emerged that the feds would drop their criminal case against Hizzoner in exchange for his help with President Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration.
Hochul, the only official in the state who has the power to boot Adams from his position, revealed on MSNBC that she’s consulting with officials about the mayor’s future.
The governor told host Rachel Maddow that she read a letter penned by now-former acting Manhattan US Attorney Danielle Sassoon that claimed Adams’ legal team offered a “quid pro quo” in hopes of seeing his federal charges get dismissed.
Former Manhattan US Attorney Damian Williams rushed to charge Big Apple Mayor Eric Adams – then grandstanded about the corruption case to further his own career, a top Justice Department official claimed Thursday.
In a searing memo to Williams’ successor Danielle Sassoon, Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove blasted Williams for “inappropriately politiciz[ing] and taint[ing]” the the historic case he filed against Adams in September.
He noted that Williams launched a personal website akin to a “campaign website” filled with puff-piece stories about his prosecutions of Adams and Sean “Diddy” Combs and penned a January op-ed in City & State New York titled,

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth began a tour of Europe Tuesday, starting at the headquarters of US European Command at Patch Barracks in Stuttgart, Germany. The newly minted SecDef has a heavy schedule in front of him, inspecting US forces in Europe and dealing with his first meeting with NATO. He is obviously trying to move beyond the controversies associated with his confirmation. He is also trying to lead by example and reverse the cultural rot in the US military by force of will.

Biggest Fraudsters and Beneficiaries of
Gov't Waste 22 replies
We’ve been reading so much about all the rampant waste in the federal government, from USAID to the Education Department to FEMA, that Elon Musk and DOGE continue to uncover at a staggering pace.
But sometimes you wonder, who are the beneficiaries of all this fraud and waste—where’s the money going? I mean, besides to terrorists, social justice warriors and the like.
Your questions may soon be answered. Grab the popcorn and fluff the couch pillows because Donald Trump told reporters at a briefing in the Oval Office Wednesday afternoon that he plans to name names at a press conference scheduled for Thursday. Responding to a reporter's question, he charged:
'Qatar is Hamas, and Hamas is Qatar'
4 replies
The Israeli hostages kidnapped by Hamas and other Palestinians on October 7, 2023 could have been released a long time ago had the Biden administration exerted pressure on Qatar to use its good relations with the Islamist group to force it to do so.
All Qatar had to do was to summon the Hamas leaders in Doha and give them an ultimatum to release all the hostages immediately or face deportation from the Gulf state. It is hard to see how the Hamas leaders would have been able to say no to their major political and financial patrons and backers.... The Qataris were never under the slightest pressure.

California Criminal Aliens to Avoid Deportation Sweep 11 replies
Yesterday, Dept of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem pointed a finger at the FBI for leaking the details of an ICE deportation sweep to the Los Angeles Times in order to tip-off criminal illegal aliens. Today, Tom Homan says, “Kristi Noem was correct, some of the information they are receiving leads to the FBI.”
During an interview tonight with Sean Hannity, Border Czar Homan also said the Acting Deputy AG is going to pursue criminal charges against the FBI leaker.
Pundits, pollsters, politicians, presidents, and prime ministers are still trying to make heads or tails of Trump’s groundbreaking proposal to turn the Gaza Strip into the French Riviera. The idea was so bold — so dramatically different — that the mind-hive had yet to reach a consensus: Was Trump actually, really serious about an American takeover of the Gaza Strip?!See, that’s the basic design flaw of mind-hives: If you catch ‘em at just the right moment, they’re like a deer in headlights. The body cannot move until the brain is reassembled.
So now, they’re politically paralyzed
A federal judge Friday evening refused to block the Labor Department from giving Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) access to confidential systems or firing employees for refusing to hand over the credentials.
U.S. District Judge John Bates found the plaintiffs hadn’t show enough injury to have legal standing to bring the lawsuit. “This data includes the medical and financial records of millions of Americans,” wrote Bates. “But on the current record, plaintiffs have failed to establish standing. So although the Court harbors concerns about defendants’ alleged conduct, it must deny plaintiffs’ motion at this time.”
On Thursday, it was revealed that a staffer who worked for the DOGE under Twitter/X owner Elon Musk had resigned after the Wall Street Journal made a White House inquiry about posts the staffer was allegedly linked to on the social media platform that claimed, among other things, that "I was racist before it was cool."According to the report, the account linked to 25-year-old Marko Elez, who worked for Musk in other roles prior to this one, also posted similar racially-charged messages in 2024:

Russia is preparing to attack Nato states next year and Donald Trump does not have a plan to end the war in Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky warned yesterday. The Ukrainian leader led a backlash against the White House alongside Sir Keir Starmer over concessions the US President made as part of a proposed Ukraine-Russia peace deal.
His comments came after it emerged that on Wednesday Mr Trump had spoken to Russian president Vladimir Putin for an hour and a half about the conflict, sparking horror.
A bombshell report has exposed that more than $151 million meant to feed soldiers at 11 of the Army’s largest bases was repurposed for undisclosed uses.
This revelation, first reported by Steve Beynon of Military.com, comes as junior enlisted soldiers struggle to access nutritious food on base, with some being forced to survive on substandard meals.
The funds in question are deducted directly from service members’ Basic Allowance for Subsistence (BAS), a monthly $460 allotment meant to cover food costs for soldiers living in barracks.
Denver Public Schools has filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem over a policy allowing ICE immigration agents to enter schools.
The federal lawsuit claims that the policy has caused attendance to plummet due to the amount of illegal aliens in the district.
“DPS is hindered in fulfilling its mission of providing education and life services to the students who are refraining from attending DPS schools for fear of immigration enforcement actions occurring on DPS school grounds,” the lawsuit states, according to a report from ABC News.
In a clear display of political bias, celebrities recently canceled multiple performances at the Kennedy Center in protest of President Donald Trump. Once celebrated for its commitment to artistic expression, this arts institution has allowed partisan politics to shape its programming decisions. Trump’s shakeup, in which he ousted 18 members of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts board and replaced them with a Trump-aligned majority, has made left-wing crybabies spiral into a black hole and flee the Washington, D.C. institution.
President Donald Trump has announced a reversal of energy efficiency standards from the Biden era that the Obama administration initially implemented. He intended to reinstate incandescent light bulbs and restore previous water pressure regulations. Trump has been vocal about opposing the ban on incandescent light bulbs, calling it "ridiculous" and arguing that it restricts consumer choice. The initiative seeks to provide consumers with more options and lessen government-imposed restrictions.
Would this explain a few things? You bet! As for me, though, I prefer Hanlon's Razor in these moments.
James Carville made some news last night on a podcast with Al Hunt, lamenting the inability of Democrats to organize any effective opposition to Donald Trump. Trump's flood-the-zone strategy for the first weeks back in the Oval Office has Democrats floundering, even someone as experienced as Carville. "We're getting overwhelmed," he told Hunt, and "it's all too incomprehensible."
Former President Barack Obama kicked off Valentine’s Day with a flirty message to his wife Michelle affirming she’s still the one after more than three decades together.
“Thirty-two years together and you still take my breath away,” the former president wrote in a post on X Friday.
“Happy Valentine’s Day, @MichelleObama,” Obama, 63, added, along with a selfie of the two beaming together. (Photo) Michelle Obama responded to her hubby with a sweet post of her own.
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), the Elon Musk-led group tasked with eliminating wasteful spending, on Friday said it found $1.9 billion that was misplaced by the Biden administration.
The funds were from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and have been recovered.
"$1.9 billion of HUD money was just recovered after being misplaced during the Biden administration due to a broken process. These funds were earmarked for the administration of financial services, but were no longer needed," a DOGE post on X stated.
What the hell is this? I get why Ohio Democrats are doing this, trying to be cute with the whole ‘regulate our bodies’ narrative that no one cared about in 2024. Abortion and female voters did not save Democrats, who obsess over the weirdest issues that will keep this party in the political wilderness.
(Snip) A bill proposed to the Ohio statehouse will make male ejaculation without intent to have a baby, a fineable offense of up to $10,000.
The bill has been proposed by State Representatives Anita Somani and Tristan Rader, who wrote it to point out what they see as the absurdity of rules that control women's bodies
On Thursday night ICE Director Tom Homan joined Laura Ingraham on The Ingraham Angle on FOX News. During their discussion Homan announced that he had referred socialist open-borders Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez to the Department of Justice.
This comes after AOC proudly announced that she was holding webinars to teach illegal aliens how to avoid ICE agents in New York City.
Homan is not playing around. It’s about time the immigration laws were followed in America – especially by elected lawmakers.
I Was Wrong About Trump

No, I am not in love with Trump. He still makes me cringe sometimes, and I still don't understand the Canada/51st state thing at all, and want nothing to do with Gaza if he is serious about that.
But there are two vital things about him which I got completely, totally, and without question wrong.
Walter Kirn slapped me in the face (not literally) with a single tweet. Boom. At least it was a "boom" for me, because I was one of those people who was absolutely certain that Trump was too immature, too narcissistic, and too lacking in self-awareness to put his ego in check and hire
