Let's trade Linehan for Rosie O'Donnell and cement the deal by finding a reason to revoke Rosie's citizenship...

It is reported that Mr. Linehan is a native and citizen of Ireland. Why could’t he go there?

Shame on Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles, who
tried to hide the unspeakable murder of
Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska

Charlotte, NC Mayor Vi Lyles says she’s disappointed that the video of the shocking murder of Iryna Zarutska “is now public” and thanked media outlets for not “sharing” the brutal footage. Appalling: While Lyles now pretends the blackout was to show “respect for Iryna’s family,” her statement two weeks back to a local news reporter makes it plain her concern was for the vagrant arrested for the deadly stabbing. Bull: Lyles wanted the video out of sight not because she cares for how the family feels, but because it exposes the corruption and menace that lurks right under the surface in our crime-ridden cities.

The deranged homeless man charged with butchering a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee on a Charlotte train was free on cashless bail after a magistrate released him with just a “written promise” to show up for court — despite a nearly two-decade history of violence and mental illness. Decarlos Brown Jr., 34, was arrested at least 14 times in North Carolina for crimes ranging from assault and firearms possession to felony robbery and larceny dating back to 2007. His own mother told local TV station WSOC that her son was schizophrenic and should never have been allowed to roam the streets.

When Donald Trump touches down in London next week, he will be greeted by the best of Britain. Dinner with the king, a golden carriage and all the impossible pomp that the royal family make look so effortless. A far cry from the welcome Graham Linehan received last week when the comedian stepped off a flight from Texas. Seized by five heavily armed cops, the Irishman was banged up in a cell over a joke he had posted on X while 5,100 miles away back in Arizona. Linehan’s thought crime? Advice on what to do if transwomen refuse to leave female changing rooms: “punch him in the balls.”

The claws are out. GOP mayoral nominee Curtis Sliwa revealed Monday he hasn’t spoken to President Trump in more than a decade — as insiders note the pair’s longstanding rift could imperil any push for the cat lover to drop his mayoral bid. Sliwa, during a wide-ranging interview with The Post, attributed his current frosty relations with the nation’s top Republican to zingers he made on TV or during his long stint as a radio talk show host on WABC-AM and other outlets. “Every week for 13 years I was on NY1 and would do political satire,” he said. “We talked Cuomo,

France’s government was toppled in a vote of no confidence on Monday, forcing President Emmanuel Macron to search for his fourth prime minister in 12 months — and throwing the EU’s second largest economy into chaos. Premier François Bayrou was ousted overwhelmingly in a 364-194 vote against him, losing an apparent gamble that lawmakers would back his push for France to slash public spending to repay its debts. The 74-year-old centrist was instead voted out, ending his short-lived minority government after being appointed by Macron in December. France, which has the European Union’s most powerful military and only nuclear arsenal,

There are some really serious acts of gender-based violence being committed against women in Great Britain today. Take the horrendous case of Paloma Faith, who appears to be both some kind of singer, and some kind of self-appointed campaigner for women’s rights. In her tell-all memoir, released last year, Paloma revealed an appalling example of abuse at the hands of a fellow celebrity judging panellist on TV caterwauling contest The Voice UK, who violently raped her, live on television, before an applauding audience of millions and millions of evil sexist white men.

Trump’s New War Production Board? 0 replies
Posted by Mercedes44 9/8/2025 1:19:41 PM Post Reply
The left weighs in on anything that Trump is against, which drives it to lionize criminals like Abrego Garcia, champion open borders, and oppose increased oil and natural gas production. And they are against anything Trump is for. So often, they did not care much about big-city crime rates, supported biological men’s usurpation of women’s sports, and opposed taking out the Iranian nuclear threat. However, recently, some former and, no doubt, current Trump opponents now seem to support both what Trump is for and what he is against—at least in a few areas. So this past week, Donald Trump hosted some of the richest,

Undersea cable cuts in the Red Sea disrupted internet access in parts of Asia and the Middle East, experts said Sunday, though it wasn’t immediately clear what caused the incident. There has been concern about the cables being targeted in a Red Sea campaign by Yemen’s Houthi rebels, which the rebels describe as an effort to pressure Israel to end its war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip. But the Houthis have denied attacking the lines in the past. Undersea cables are one of the backbones of the internet, along with satellite connections and land-based cables. Typically, internet service providers have multiple access points and reroute traffic if one fails,

In a highly rare exercise of wartime legal restraint, Israel’s Supreme Court ruled Sunday that the Israeli government has deprived Palestinian detainees of even a minimum subsistence diet and ordered authorities to increase the amount and improve the quality of food served to deprived Palestinian inmates. Although it’s the job of the Supreme Court to advise the government of the legality of its policies, the Israeli judiciary has seldom taken issue with its actions in the 23-month Israel-Hamas war. Since Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack on southern Israel that killed 1,200 people, mostly civilians,

As alarm bells ring over the New York City mayoral race, an odd sentiment is starting to gain traction across the business community: Just give up. Just sit tight and let the ill-equipped Maoist Zohran Mamdani win in November. Let him unleash his creepy, dogmatic socialist policies on the masses to teach them valuable lessons — both economic and cultural — about wokeness and progressivism, and more broadly its stranglehold on the Democratic Party. I’m starting to agree. Let the city sink into the abyss. Let Mamdani’s policies force out business and prod more upper- and middle-class residents to flee. Let the city declare bankruptcy — which will happen if Mamdani gets his way.

Federal appeals court upholds $83.3M E.
Jean Carroll judgment against Trump

President Donald Trump is still facing a $83.3 million payment to writer E. Jean Carroll after a federal appeals court rejected his challenge of a defamation verdict against him Monday. The ruling from the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upholds a lower court decision finding that Trump did, in fact, defame Carroll. Trump's lawyers argued his comments about Carroll were protected by presidential immunity and that the verdict in the case was unjust. The three-judge panel rejected both of those claims. "We conclude that Trump has failed to identify any grounds that would warrant reconsidering our prior holding on presidential immunity. We also conclude that the district court did not err

Letitia James’s New York State mortgage records indicate that she committed mortgage fraud on a $200,000 “Credit Line Mortgage” with Citizens Bank in 2021. Like other mortgages, it requires a signed note, a mortgage document, and recording with the county clerk. The mortgage document shows that James misrepresented her five-unit apartment building as a single-family dwelling. This false claim allowed James to avoid significantly higher commercial loan closing costs and a higher interest rate.

The man whose account of Michael Brown’s death ignited the false “hands up, don’t shoot” narrative was shot and killed Sunday morning in Ferguson, Missouri. Dorian Johnson, 33, died after being struck in a shooting around 8:30 a.m., according to Ferguson police. The incident occurred less than a mile from where Officer Darren Wilson shot and killed Brown on Aug. 9, 2014, KMOV reported. Johnson was taken to a hospital, where he died from his injuries, police said. One suspect was taken into custody, and charges have been submitted to the St. Louis County Prosecutor’s Office, KMOV reported.

The Trump administration used a drone strike to eliminate what it says was a Venezuelan boat filled with narcotics last week. When Vice President J.D. Vance applauded the operation as the “highest and best use of our military,” Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., compared the strike to a lynching. After a left-wing social media reply guy calling the strike a “war crime,” Vance replied back, “I don’t give a (site censored) what you call it,” which triggered Paul’s bizarre comparison to lynch mobs in the Jim Crow South. “JD(snip) Vance says killing people he accuses of a crime is the ‘highest

Democrats in Congress have released a note allegedly signed by US President Donald Trump and sent to Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday in 2003. Lawyers for Epstein's estate sent documents to the House Oversight Committee after they were subpoenaed last month. Democratic members of the committee posted a copy of the alleged letter, which features a drawing of a woman's body, on X on Monday. "President Trump did not draw this picture, and he did not sign it," the White House said.

Late last week NBC ran a “news” story featuring a dozen disgruntled federal judges whose rulings against various Trump administration policies have been stayed or overturned by the Supreme Court. These lower court judges, none of whom had the courage to allow NBC to name them in the article, bewailed the failure of SCOTUS to provide sufficient justification for ruling against them. It’s blindingly obvious, however, that the real issue they are whining about is the Court’s refusal to countenance their usurpation of the President’s Article II powers and frustrate implementation of his agenda.

The War of the Murdochs appears to have come to an end. The media sector’s prominent Murdoch family settled a long-running dispute Monday that will leave Lachlan Murdoch in control of voting shares that govern both News Corp. and Fox Corp. while selling off stakes in the company attached to founder Rupert Murdoch’s other children who had challenged their father’s ability to restructure his heirs’ oversight of both corporations. Fox Corp. and News Corp. both said Monday that the family had terminated all litigation tied to the elder Murdoch’s efforts to assign control of the family’s shares to Lachlan, who currently oversees both corporations.

Stephen King seems to have replaced his talent for weaving chilling tales with an unhealthy obsession with Donald Trump and his supporters. Instead of focusing on novels, King has turned himself into yet another left-wing pundit who just happens to have a long list of bestsellers on his résumé. And while his books used to inspire genuine fear, his political predictions are now nothing more than laughable, partisan nonsense. His latest declaration is so ridiculous, it proves just how consumed he’s become with Trump Derangement Syndrome. According to King, years from now, many Americans who voted for Donald Trump will deny ever having done so.

As RedState reported, the Trump administration scored a big win on Monday, with the Supreme Court staying a lower court ruling barring ICE from conducting immigration stops without probable cause. The original decision, which came from Biden-appointed California District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong, was spawned after a series of high-profile raids carried out in Los Angeles. At the time, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) proclaimed that "justice has prevailed." I suspect he won't be quite as optimistic about or respectful of the Supreme Court's latest smackdown. Of course, this decision wasn't unanimous. As expected, the three liberal justices went the other way,

Breitbart News reported that Brown was arrested and charged with first-degree murder regarding the attack on Zarutska.
