Inside Curtis Sliwa’s decades-old feud
with Trump — as he rejects president’s
push to drop NYC mayoral bid: ‘Love-hate relationship’

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,

Sliwa will get Mamdani elected if he doesn't drop out.

It’s hard to believe that the Republicans couldn’t come up with a serious candidate to run for Mayor.

Sliwa once had a girlfriend whose last name was Katz. Appropriate since he now lives in a small apartment with 15 cats.

NYC has gone completely insane. Mamdani is almost certain to get elected regardless of who drops out. I spent a lot of time in NYC during the 1990s. I remember very well the difference between the pre-Giuliani and post-Giuliani years. Rudy Giuliani saved NYC. It has been downhill ever since. If I lived there now, I would vote with my feet and live somewhere else.

Eric Adams is a huge Muslim supporter, even to allowing Muslim call to prayer in the city during Ramadan. Why on earth would President Trump contemplate giving him a place in his administration? To me, that’s a bridge too far to get a certain candidate elected, especially when you take the camel-nose-under-the-tent principle into consideration.

Sounds like Sliwa had his feelings hurt and can't let it go like most grown ups when they're in the arena. Just remember, today's Democrat party does not need the Jewish vote any more. Far more muslim voters now than Jewish voters. They just don't believe the Jewish voters will switch to the Republican side.

So who is worse, limousine socialist Mamdani or the man who killed thousands by forcing nursing homes to accept patients with active Covid while a giant hospital ship sent by Donald Trump sat empty in New York Harbor? As Jack Benny jokingly claimed he would respond if forced to choose between his money and his life: "I'm thinking! I'm thinking!"

if Curtis is willing to put his feud with Trump ahead of the best interests of millions of his fellow NYC residents, then he's not the man he once was.

a Temporary Victory on Foreign Aid

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts has handed a temporary victory to President Donald Trump by keeping in place the Trump administration’s freeze on foreign aid for the time being. The decision puts nearly $5 billion in funding on hold. Trump told House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) in a letter at the end of last month that he wouldn’t spend $4.9 billion in foreign aid that Congress approved. It’s what we call a “pocket rescission,” in which the president requests that Congress not spend certain approved funds. “This case raises questions of immense legal and practical importance,

Sudan's brutal civil war... is not just a clash between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and their former military allies turned rivals, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). It is a calculated power grab by the Muslim Brotherhood, which appears to be using the SAF as a Trojan horse to dominate northeast Africa and the Red Sea, a critical artery for global commerce. The Muslim Brotherhood, sponsored by Qatar, appears to be hijacking the SAF to stage a takeover, recycling old alliances under new guises. Despite recent concessions to the United States and Egypt,

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.

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.

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.

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.

Conservative activist Charlie Kirk was shot Wednesday during a Q&A session at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. Video from the event shows Kirk was struck near the neck. While details about his condition remain unclear, reports suggest he’s been hospitalized. Unfornately, the mainstream media’s reaction to the shooting has been as disgusting as you could have predicted. Over at CNN, Kristen Holmes dubbed Kirk “a controversial figure at times,” adding: “He goes into these various college campuses, uh, pushes conservative issues, gets into back and f—heated back and forth often with these students on these college campuses.

Father-of-two Kirk, 31, the founder of Turning Point USA, a conservative youth organization that regularly holds events on college campuses nationwide, was shot in the neck at an event at Utah Valley University in Orem and died about two and half hours later. His assassination not only devastated many members of Congress who knew the activist personally, but unleashed sadness, confusion and anger among lawmakers in the Capitol on both sides of the political spectrum.

WASHINGTON – Read the opinions for yourself.

The majority said the administration can for now resume the indiscriminate immigration-related stops in southern California that sparked protests and charges of racial profiling. In her dissent for the court’s three liberals, Sotomayor said the majority’s decision “is yet an­other grave misuse of our emergency docket.” “We should not have to live in a country where

WARNING - President Trump's latest crackdown on prescription drug advertisements may cause Big Pharma executives to experience insomnia, tension headaches, a feeling of loss of control, and an upset stomach. Trump signed an executive memorandum on Tuesday, directing the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to enhance transparency in direct-to-consumer prescription drug advertising. It calls for mandating more detailed disclosures of side effects. This initiative, spearheaded by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., will address violations in drug ads without imposing an outright ban on those ads.

For the United States Supreme Court, State courts, clerk’s offices, businesses and people all over the Country, a “postmark” was the date stamped on a piece of first-class mail by the U.S. Postal Service indicating the day the piece of mail was received by the Postal Service. That meaning of a “postmark” is soon to be no more. The USPS has a “new” meaning for a postmark and wants to make the new meaning official through a proposed regulation. The change carries real implications for taxpayers, voter registration by mail, voting by mail, as well as the legal profession.
