It’s the ‘finest’ Washington Square Park has looked in a long time. Thirty police officers will now be patrolling the park on foot by day, during a first shift from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., with another 30 coming in for an evening The NYPD flooded the Greenwich Village landmark with 68 additional cops Friday — in a 24/7 crackdown aimed at vanquishing junkies from the beleaguered space, which dealers and addicts alike turned into a veritable narcotics supercenter. “My goal is to kick them out of the Sixth Precinct entirely,” the new commanding officer, Capt. Nicholas D. Minor, told a cheering crowd of Village residents.

National Review is turning 70. The legacy of that publication is hard to sum up, but suffice it to say, its impact on American politics has been enormous, and it’s one I certainly feel personally. I worked there for a couple of years, and I was very grateful for the job and the experience it gave me. My tenure at NR only overlapped with the last few months of William F. Buckley’s life, though I had met him once earlier in my career — he presented me with an award in front of my parents, who flew out to D.C. for the occasion —
Americans across the country usually have little reason to pay close attention to the politics of New York City — despite its size and status as the world’s financial capital — because it rarely affects them. However, as New Yorkers head to the ballot box next week to vote in the most significant mayoral race in decades, the eyes of the nation are fixated on the rise of a Marxist-Islamist as their likely choice in a city the nation rallied around in the wake of the attacks of 9/11.Zohran Mamdani, a self-proclaimed socialist, pro-Islamist, and naturalized U.S. citizen from Uganda, is poised to win the race.
The judge overseeing Letitia James’ mortgage fraud case on Friday denied a motion from the New York attorney general attempting to force federal prosecutors to keep a log of all their communications with the media.
Defense attorney Abbe Lowell filed the motion last week, when James was arraigned on bank fraud and false statements charges, in response to a report that US Attorney Lindsey Halligan sent a flurry of encrypted Signal messages about the case to a reporter.
“[T]he defendant does not demonstrate that it is necessary for the Court to order the government to track communications with the media in any particular form,”

President Trump called on Republicans Thursday to invoke the so-called “nuclear option” and change Senate rules to allow legislation to end the 30-day-long government shutdown to pass with a simple majority vote.
“It is now time for the Republicans to play their ‘TRUMP CARD,’ and go for what is called the Nuclear Option — Get rid of the Filibuster, and get rid of it, NOW!” the president wrote in a lengthy Truth Social post.
Trump explained that during his whirlwind Asia trip “the one question that kept coming up, however, was how did the Democrats SHUT DOWN-
President Trump said on Wednesday that he has instructed the Defense Department (DOD) to immediately begin testing U.S. nuclear weapons on an equal basis to China and Russia.
“The United States has more Nuclear Weapons than any other country,” Trump wrote. “This was accomplished, including a complete update and renovation of existing weapons, during my First Term in office. Because of the tremendous destructive power, I HATED to do it, but had no choice! Russia is second, and China is a distant third, but will be even within 5 years.”
The Revenge of the White Van Man
1 reply
First Italy, now South America. Populism is awake, and it sounds like common sense. From Milei in Buenos Aires to Meloni in Rome and Independents in Basingstoke, the revenge of the ordinary working man and woman, long sneered at by the metropolitan elite, is in full swing.
In Buenos Aires, Javier Milei’s alliance has just cemented control of Congress with roughly 40% of the vote after delivering Argentina’s first budget surplus in 14 years. Inflation, once galloping toward 300%, is finally falling. The peso is stabilising. Exports are hitting record highs. For the first time in a generation, Argentina smells less like crisis and more like competence.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley on Wednesday revealed that former Special Counsel Jack Smith targeted the ‘entire Republican apparatus.’
According to the documents released earlier this year, the FBI and DOJ weaponized their power to target President Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence, and their allies through a probe dubbed “Arctic Frost.”
“Operation Arctic Frost” was a taxpayer-funded witch hunt launched in April 2022 that seized government-issued cell phones belonging to Trump and Pence while conducting a barrage of interviews across the country.
The 2020 Trump alternate electors prompted the Biden DOJ to open the Arctic Frost investigation into Trump and hundreds of other individuals and organizations.
President Donald Trump announced Wednesday night from South Korea he has ordered the Department of War to “immediately” start testing nuclear weapons, something the United States has not done since 1992 at the end of the Cold War.Trump’s statement came just an hour before he was scheduled to hold a high stakes meeting in South Korea with Chinese President Xi Jinping and also after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the successful tests of two nuclear powered, nuclear capable weapons systems–a cruise missile and an underwater drone.
Peace is slowly spreading around the old continent.
For years, conservative hero and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán almost single-handedly opposed suicidal EU policies and directives, becoming the European ‘bête noire’ that Brussels and Strasbourg love to hate.
When it comes resisting the Globalist commitment to supporting the Ukrainian war effort to the detriment of their national interests, Orbán was also alone.
But now, Budapest apparently will not have to go at it alone, as other peace-loving heads of state are popping up in Europe.

"Indiana Jones" star Harrison Ford told The Guardian on Friday that he doesn't "know of a greater criminal in history" than President Donald Trump, criticizing him for failing to address climate change.
Ford said to The Guardian that Trump "doesn’t have any policies, he has whims. It scares the s--- out of me. The ignorance, the hubris, the lies, the perfidy. [Trump] knows better, but he’s an instrument of the status quo, and he’s making money, hand over fist, while the world goes to hell in a handbasket."
"It's unbelievable," he added. "I don’t know of a greater criminal in history."
Nearly one decade after leaving the White House, Michelle Obama is ready to talk about her fashion choices and the attention placed on her appearance during her eight years as first lady. The former first lady sat down with "Good Morning America" co-anchor Robin Roberts ahead of the release of her new book, "The Look," an in-depth and personal look at her White House style. In the book, Obama explains for the first time the level of intention she placed on her fashion choices as first lady, and the messages she wanted to send with those choices.

A federal judge blocked President Donald Trump’s efforts to protect election integrity by requiring proof of United States citizenship on voter registration forms, finding that Trump “lacks the authority to direct such changes.”
In a decision by U.S. District Judge Collen Kollar-Kotelly on Friday, Kollar-Kotelly “sided with Democratic and civil rights groups that sued the Trump administration” after the President issued an executive order in March entitled “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections,” according to the Associated Press.
Kollar-Kotelly, who was appointed by former President Bill Clinton, claimed in her decision that “the proof-of-citizenship directive is an unconstitutional violation of the separation of powers,”
Michelle Obama really wants you to know she's a victim. That's been the theme for her over the last several years, whether it be during interviews or on her incredibly grating podcast. Most recently, speaking to ABC News "journalist" Gayle King, who is always chosen for these softball sessions for a reason, the former First Lady decried her time in the White House, claiming she and her family were given a "lack of grace" that other presidential families received. [Tweet, video]
KING: "We were all too aware that as the first black couple, we couldn't afford any mistakes."

A Colorado athlete who once vied for a spot on the US Olympic shot put team allegedly stabbed her Uber driver to death, dumping his body in a field — because she felt “cooped up” and wanted to go for a “joy ride,” according to police.
Khayla Dawson, 27, who competed at the USA Olympic Trials last year, is accused of fatally plunging a butcher knife into 38-year-old rideshare driver Jeremy Campbell’s neck before stealing his car and wallet Sunday, according to the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office.
Dawson(snip)was identified as the last person on Campbell’s driving list at 11:45 p.m. Sunday
A black producer laid off from CBS News this week has accused the company of racism by saying that all of his fired fellow colleagues were 'people of color.' Trey Sherman made the claim in a viral video posted to his TikTok account Wednesday, after CBS News' parent company announced sweeping layoffs across the organization. Sherman had worked for the now-cancelled 'CBS Evening News+' since February, as well as the network's just-eliminated Race and Culture Unit. 'Every person who gets to stay and will be relocated within the company is a white person.' Sherman then recounted a meeting he said
Regrets, Kevin Roberts has a few.
The president of the Heritage Foundation stepped into a maelstrom when he came to the defense of Tucker Carlson this week after Carlson's friendly interview with Nick Fuentes, the 26-year-old white nationalist popular on the far right for his avowedly antisemitic views. It started with a video Roberts posted to X.
“Not as many people as I thought,” he told RealClearPolitics in a Saturday interview, “were ready for a little bit of nuance.”
Roberts told RCP that the backlash has further clarified something that he already believed, namely that antisemitism has become “a much more pronounced problem on part of the right.”

Former Vice President Kamala Harris attacked President Trump in a foul-mouth rant — as she melted down over his White House ballroom renovations.
“Are you f‑‑king kidding me?” Harris raged on Jon Stewart’s “The Weekly Show” podcast on Thursday as she accused Trump of prioritizing the renovations despite the government shutdown threatening the distribution of food aid benefits.
“This guy wants to create a ballroom for his rich friends while completely turning a blind eye to the fact that babies are going to starve when the SNAP benefits end in just hours from now. Come on.”
Judge James Boasberg's chickens may finally be coming home to roost.
The Obama-nominated chief judge of the United States District Court for D.C. now faces impeachment articles that Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Tex.) filed, thanks to explosive revelations surrounding Operation Arctic Frost—a coordinated effort that saw 197 subpoenas unleashed against Republicans in Congress and citizens during the Biden administration.
The specifics make your blood boil. Then-Special Counsel Jack Smith sought Sen. Ted Cruz's communications from AT&T, and Boasberg rubber-stamped the request. But here's where it gets really ugly: Boasberg issued an order explicitly prohibiting AT&T from notifying Cruz that his records were being seized.
On Saturday, Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser announced an emergency order, with a city-wide curfew for anyone under 18, beginning Saturday night.
The curfew will go into effect at 11pm Nov. 1, through 6am the next morning, and will continue nightly until Nov. 5. The order gives Metropolitan Police Chief Pamela Smith the power to identify “high risk” areas in the city, where she can begin the curfew as early as 6pm. (image)
The emergency action by the DC Mayor is in response to chaos in the streets in/around the Navy Yard area where five teens were arrested and the National Guard were forced to break up several fights
The crises at the heart of the government shutdown fight in Washington were coming to a head Saturday as the federal food assistance program faced delays and millions of Americans were set to see a dramatic rise in their health insurance bills.
The impacts on basic needs — food and medical care — underscored how the impasse is hitting homes across the United States. Plans by the Trump administration to freeze payments to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program on Saturday were halted by federal judges, but the delay in payouts will still likely leave millions of people short on their grocery bills.
