The Post endorses Maud Maron for Manhattan DA
Posted By: Mercedes44, 10/25/2025 6:09:32 AM
Election Day offers hope for ousting soft-on-crime Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg: Republican Maud Maron. Yes, independent candidate Diana Florence, a 25-year veteran prosecutor, has also called out Bragg’s penchant for letting repeat offenders walk and his failure to protect women from violent criminals. But Maron, a former public defender and mom of four, is the better choice to head one of the most important prosecutor’s offices in America — a job that Bragg has made impotent during his tenure. Her 20-year career as a public defender enables her to understand the need to hold criminals accountable, deliver justice to crime victims and hold repeat offenders responsible for their actions —

Macron did not even have the decency to make his recognition of a non-existent Palestinian state contingent on Hamas releasing the hostages.
Joining Macron in this narcissistic display were other small, soft leaders with large, hard Islamist constituencies -- Britain's PM Keir Starmer, Australia's PM Anthony Albanese, and Canada's PM Mark Carney -- who followed Macron's lead in granting international legitimacy to a cause dedicated to terrorism.
The Palestinian Authority continues to operate as an unelected dictatorship, funneling millions into its infamous pay-for-slay "jobs" program -- sometimes listed as "welfare" -- which grants salaries to terrorists and their families based on how many Jews they succeed in murdering.
Moscow carried out a successful test of its new “invincible” nuclear-capable cruise missile, with the Kremlin now working to deploy the doomsday weapon, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Sunday.
Putin hailed the test in a video released by the Kremlin while dressed in military fatigues, with the strongman calling on his top general to start preparing the Burevestnik missile for potential use.
“We need to determine the possible uses and begin preparing the infrastructure for deploying these weapons to our armed forces,” Putin instructed.
Leading America’s biggest city — the global financial capital, a media epicenter, and a sprawling metropolis of five boroughs covering 300 square miles — is a hard enough job. Addressing quality-of-life concerns, while keeping business humming, should take top priority for any mayor of New York City. Yet socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani has all but vowed to drag his future constituency into the kind of destructive cultural warfare that the rest of the country voted to turn back from last year.
His suddenly impassioned advocacy on transgenderism could also prove to be a distraction from the far more popular agenda of ...
The Trump administration took a shot at former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, accusing her of stealing furniture from the White House, after she criticized President Trump's new Ballroom renovations. "Failed presidential candidate and former First Lady Crooked Hillary Clinton stole furniture from the White House on her way out until she was forced to return it," White House spokesman Davis Ingle told Fox News Digital. "Crooked Hillary is shameless and a total disgrace. Meanwhile, President Trump is restoring the White House to its proper glory for Americans to enjoy for generations to come — at no expense to the taxpayer — something we should all celebrate."

President Donald Trump arrived in sunny Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia after a 23-hour flight from Washington where he was warmly received by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim with a fighter jet escort, red carpet ceremony, a flag waving crowd and a raucous dance troupe. Trump is in Malaysia for the annual summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). While there, Trump is also presiding over the signing of a peace agreement he brokered between Cambodia and Thailand.
Video posted by Steven Cheung shows the scene for the reception with the view from Air Force One on the tarmac:
On October 15th, I had the privilege of interviewing Dr Carol Swain ahead of her appearance at the Cambridge University Union, where she opposed the motion: ‘This House Believes Black Lives Matter’s Intentions Were More Important Than Its Methods.’
Dr Swain is one of America’s most respected conservative scholars – a woman whose life embodies grit, faith and a fearless commitment to truth. Born in rural Virginia in 1954, the second of 12 children, she grew up in abject poverty, left school early, married at 16 and became a mother at 17. Yet against all odds, she earned five university degrees while working full-time and raising a family,
NJ Republican gubernatorial nominee Jack Ciattarelli seems to be gaining ground in his race, as strong national voices join him on the stump (well, in a virtual way, at least, in one case). That would be a town hall via telephone, which Ciattarelli held with supporters on Friday--and President Donald Trump was on the line too. Early voting begins Saturday. During his remarks to the supporters, the president raked the Democrat opponent, Rep. Mikie Sherill, but good over how badly Garden State citizens' quality of life would fare if she is allowed to become governor:
As the U.S. military continues targeting drug vessels from Venezuelan Transnational Criminal Organizations, the Dept of War is sending an entire U.S. Carrier Strike Group into the region.

Trump dances with native performers

President Trump danced with a troupe of native performers upon arrival in the Malaysian capital for the first leg of an Asian tour.
Looking fresh after a 23-hour flight from Washington, the 79-year-old swung his hips and pumped his fists to the beat of a drum near a red carpet on the airport tarmac outside Air Force One on Sunday morning local time.
An array of colorfully garbed dancers represented the country’s major ethnicities, including indigenous people from Borneo and groups of Malays, Chinese and Indians.
House Republican Leadership Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) unloaded Friday on House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) after he officially endorsed “jihadist communist” Zohran Mamdani for New York City mayor, declaring the decision will doom Democrats’ chances of retaking the House.In a blistering statement, Stefanik did not mince words. “Like the Worst Governor in America @KathyHochul, Democrat Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries finally bent the knee and endorsed the jihadist communist Zohran Mamdani for New York City mayor,” she said, calling it “an AWFUL decision for Jeffries” that exposes “just how bad his judgment is.”

In a joint video posted to social media, Pennsylvania’s two U.S. senators urged colleagues in both parties to prioritize reopening the federal government as the shutdown entered its 23rd day. The message marks a rare moment of bipartisan unity between Fetterman, a Democrat known for breaking with his party on several recent votes, and McCormick, a first-term Republican elected in 2024.Here we are in Washington, D.C., and it is shut down,” Fetterman said in the video. “But now here it’s both Pennsylvania’s voice here in the U.S. Senate, even though we are in a different party,
When socialist Zohran Mamdani won the New York City mayoral primary, we said that the concern expressed by some Democrats was phony, because they didn’t want to admit just how far left their party had drifted.
Now, they’ve given up that pretense entirely.
On Friday, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries endorsed socialist Mamdani, saying the 33-year-old trust fund baby “has relentlessly focused on addressing the affordability crisis and explicitly committed to being a mayor for all New Yorkers.”
He’s the most senior-ranking Democrat to do so, but he joins a list that already includes Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren,

Friday on CNN’s “The Lead,” former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said President Donald Trump’s military deployment to Venezuela could mean that one accident could cause a war.
Host Jake Tapper asked, “How serious is this? Do you think we could really see the U.S. strike inside Venezuela, or potentially even having American boots on the ground?”
Panetta said, “Well, look, there’s no question, Jake, there we’re dealing with a very serious deployment of our forces right now. We’ve had B-1 bombers going near Venezuela. We’ve had B-52s and F-35 squadrons now in place. I think there’s also a submarine in place, eight warships, Reaper drones, and now this carrier group.
There's an old internet meme going around that depicts a plate of bacon and eggs, with the caption, "They say every strip of bacon you eat takes six minutes off your life. If that were true, I'd have died in 1788." I don't know as I've eaten quite that much bacon in my life, but I've sure had some, and will probably have quite a bit more. Bacon is meat candy; it's a gift pigs give us when we're good.
So, of course, some people are trying to take it away.
Scientists are calling for a ban on supermarket bacon and ham after the chemicals used in their production were linked

Zohran Mamdani, the far-left, anti-white Democratic nominee for New York City mayor, addressed what he called “racist, baseless” attacks against him on Friday, linking these criticisms to a broader culture of “Islamophobia.” Speaking outside a mosque in the Bronx, he also paid tribute to “the memory” of an aunt of his and suggested she was the real victim of the September 11, 2001, radical Islamic terror attack on the city, as she did not feel comfortable wearing her Islamic headscarf on the subway afterwards.“I thought that if I behaved well enough or bit my tongue enough in the face of racist, baseless attacks… it would allow me to be more
BOSTON —
Former President Joe Biden will be in Boston on Sunday to receive a lifetime achievement award from the Edward M. Kennedy Institute.
Biden is scheduled to attend the event on Sunday at the institute's Columbia Point building in Boston, where he will be honored alongside former Labor Secretary and Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh and retired U.S. Navy Admiral Lisa Franchetti. Walsh and Franchetti will both receive Awards for Inspired Leadership, the institute said in a statement. The awards will be presented during the Edward M. Kennedy Institute's 10th Anniversary Celebration, which is the organization's major annual fundraiser. Former Secretary of State John Kerry, who served with
A mystery donor whose $130 million contribution is meant to pay U.S. military troops during the government shutdown is Timothy Mellon, an heir to a renowned Gilded Age banking family, The New York Times reported Saturday.
But Mellon’s donation works out to only about $100 per service member. It costs nearly $6.4 billion to pay U.S. troops every two weeks.
And using his money might run afoul of federal law, according to the Times, which cited two people familiar with the matter in identifying the billionaire railroad magnate as the donor.
When President Donald Trump announced the donation at the White House on Thursday, he did not name the man’s identity,
Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., said the next Democratic presidential nominee must vow to demolish President Donald Trump's White House ballroom, proposing the pledge a litmus test for the party’s 2028 contenders.
"Don’t even think of seeking the Democratic nomination for president unless you pledge to take a wrecking ball to the Trump Ballroom on DAY ONE," Swalwell wrote on X on Saturday. Swalwell's office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital for additional comment.

Wind Power: Not the Utopia We Were Sold On
18 replies
Wind power has been sold to us as an environmental utopia, with lower costs, but ends up being nothing of the sort in practice.
With the aid of government subsidies, we are putting up electric generating windmills all over the place. Such subsidies include the Production Tax Credit (PTC), which, according to the
Institute for Energy research (IRER), provides a per-kilowatt-hour tax credit for electricity generated by qualified wind projects; and the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which provides a tax credit based on the investment made in renewable energy projects, including wind. According to IRER, trillions are being invested here. The United States, under the Biden-Harris climate bill,
The Schumer Shutdown is rolling on with no signs of any imminent deals, and some government benefit programs are starting to run out of funds. One such is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as the food stamp program. It's about to run out of money, but Representative Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA) has introduced a bill to fund the program through the shutdown.
The Keep SNAP Funded Act of 2025 would keep the food aid program funded during the government lapse until the Department of Agriculture is funded through regular appropriations or stopgap measures.
The bill is the companion to a SNAP-funding bill in the Senate
The No Kings protests were a display of left-wing idiocy as participants dressed in costumes, chanted like ageing hippies at a Joan Baez concert, and held silly signs demanding that America have “no kings.”
It would appear that they achieved their goal, since we haven’t been ruled by a monarch in 249 years. Great job, guys.
As both our Nick Arama and Jennifer Oliver O’Connell noted in their coverage of the insanity, the crowds across the country seemed to look quite similar—they mostly seemed comprised of not-young white people.

For all the unity that the Democratic Party projects, there’s actually a lot of drama behind the scenes, and it’s nice to see the details finally come out.
According to a new tell-all on last year’s campaign, Joe Biden spent the last weeks of his re-election meltdown dodging phone calls—not from reporters or donors, but from Barack Obama himself. For two full weeks before he finally bailed out last July, Biden reportedly refused to take his old boss’s calls. And get this: even after he quit, he gave Obama the cold shoulder for another month.
It’s a far cry from the friendly dynamic Democrats once sold to the public. Remember the memes,
