Zohran Mamdani stunned the country with his win in the New York City mayoral race Tuesday night, defeating former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott wasted no time mourning the election results. “Join me for a moment of silence for NYC,” Abbott wrote on X, just minutes after the race was called. He also offered “thoughts and prayers” with an emoji depicting hands in prayer. Mamdani is the city’s first Muslim and first South Asian to be elected mayor, and he will be the youngest mayor of New York City in more than a century when he takes office on Jan. 1.

Far-left Democrat Zohran Mamdani has won New York City’s mayoral race — winning a mandate to move to enact his budget-busting, socialist agenda, according to preliminary projections. The Associated Press called the race for Mamdani, 34, about 40 minutes after polls closed, and with at least a few hundred thousand votes still to be counted. Mamdani carried 50.4% of votes to Andrew Cuomo’s 41.3% at around 9:40 p.m. The projection — which came with 75% of votes counted — also found GOP nominee Curtis Sliwa with rock-bottom 7.5%. The Uganda-born Mamdani will be the Big Apple’s first Muslim and first socialist mayor, as well as one of the youngest.

The European Commission's latest enlargement report heaped praise on Ukraine and Montenegro, whilst criticizing both Serbia and Georgia on Tuesday. Brussels' report is annual scorecard for countries that are hoping to join the European Union. Ten countries are currently aiming to join the bloc — a list that also includes Moldova, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Kosovo and Turkey. "Expanding the Union is in our best interest," the EU's foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas told reporters in Brussels.

In times of national emergency, should the Supreme Court dictate America's grand strategy and international economic policies? This question confronts the justices this week in Learning Resources v. Trump, a case that puts the president's tariff powers to the test. If President Donald Trump loses, the Treasury faces having to refund more than $100 billion in tariff revenue, and the president's trade strategy will be thrown into chaos. Businesses that have already changed their operations because of the tariffs, drawing jobs and supply chains back to America, will be subject to grave new uncertainties:

One of the more noxious aspects of Zohran Mamdani’s campaign to be mayor of New York City is the reappearance of Linda Sarsour, the far-left, oxymoronically hijab-wearing “feminist” activist who rocketed to international fame some years ago as the hate-filled face of the leftist/Islamic alliance, glossing over the human rights abuses of Sharia and demonizing Israel with extravagant false claims long before doing so became the left’s favorite pastime. As it turns out, Sarsour has not been enjoying a comfortable, Soros-financed retirement; she has been working on what she calls “the quiet side” of the Mamdani campaign. Quiet side or not, however, Sarsour has been loquacious of late,

A federal judge has ruled that the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) must provide sex change procedures to a convicted pedophile who recently began identifying as transgender. Brian Buckingham, 47, is serving more than 21 years in prison for sexually abusing his 10-year-old son and producing child sex abuse images. Shortly before sentencing, Buckingham began identifying as “Nani Love” and claimed to be female(snip) In court filings, Buckingham claimed that being unable to access previously provided “gender-affirming” treatments, like hormone therapy, had worsened his depression and suicidal thoughts(snip) Attorneys for Buckingham argued the sex change procedures were “medically necessary” to treat gender dysphoria and that denying Buckingham access to them is

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning expressed support for the government of Nigeria on Tuesday and claimed President Donald Trump was only interested in the slaughter of Christians as an “excuse” to interfere in Nigerian politics. President Trump on Saturday criticized Nigeria for allowing Islamic terrorists to murder Christians and said the United States might cut off aid to Nigeria or even launch a military action to take out the terrorists. “I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Socialist Zohran Mamdani will complete his hostile takeover of the Democrat Party nationally, assuming the polls are right and he is elected mayor of New York City on Tuesday. When the race is called, assuming he wins, Mamdani will have successfully supplanted the rest of his party and will have become the highest-profile Democrat in America. Meanwhile, in New Jersey, Republican Jack Ciatarelli seeks to pull off an upset win over Democrat Mikie Sherill in the Garden State gubernatorial race. In Virginia, Democrat Abigail Spanberger seeks to reclaim the governor’s mansion for her party against Republican Winsome Earl-Sears, despite a Democrat scandal where Attorney General candidate Jay

Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy is warning of "mass chaos" if the Democratic Party doesn't put an end to the Schumer Shutdown soon. [Tweet] "You will see mass flight delays. You'll see mass cancelations, and you may see us close certain parts of the airspace, because we just cannot manage it because we don't have the air traffic controllers," Duffy said. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt also hammered the Democrats on the shutdown and the suffering they're causing the American people. [Tweet, video] "The Democrats are intentionally hurting American families, workers, and businesses with this shutdown to fight for free health care for illegal aliens

As we continue to endure a Democrat-induced government shutdown, the investigation into the fishing expedition launched by Special Counsel Jack Smith remains ongoing. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has uncovered disturbing details about how this probe, one of many, into Donald Trump and the 2020 election turned into a wholesale surveillance operation into the Republican Party and the conservative movement writ large. Look up ‘mission creep,’ and this operation, Arctic Frost, should be in the appendix. Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed today that President Trump’s government phone was handed over to Smith by the Biden administration:

A UPS plane crashed near Louisville’s Muhammad Ali International Airport in a fiery wreck Tuesday evening, officials confirmed as a plume of smoke could be seen for miles. Multiple emergency crews, including the Louisville Metro Police Department, responded to the crash site around 5 p.m., where authorities warned there was “fire and debris.” A shelter-in-place order was issued within the hour “for all locations within 5 miles of the airport,” the LMPD posted on X. Injuries were reported, but the exact nature or how many passengers were on board the aircraft is unclear, police added.

Let me start by saying I have no idea why anyone still takes David Hogg seriously. Apparently, the left hasn’t gotten the memo that this guy is a self-serving charlatan and a brazen grifter who’s been exposed time and again. Even Democrats figured him out; they threw him overboard as vice chair of the Democratic National Committee. The DNC officially blamed some diversity quota nonsense, but everyone knows the real reason: he was shamelessly using the position to line his own PAC’s pockets. Yet somehow CNN still thought it was a good idea to trot him out on NewsNight Monday as a panelist, where he proceeded to embarrass himself spectacularly

In news that is disturbing but not unexpected, Pennsylvanians have already reported problems preventing them from casting their votes at polling stations on this Election Day. Machines reportedly went down in a Republican area of Philadelphia, the town of Slippery Rock Borough, where the Republican mayor is running for reelection, and other areas across the state. Realtor Laureen Trent shared messages from voters reporting issues in Conemaugh, Cambria County, Ferndale, Portage Rotary, South Fork, and Croyle Township, among others.

It seems like just two weeks ago [Steve, it was just two weeks ago —Editor] that I warned PJ Media VIP subscribers that "you only think the trans crisis is over," and here we are today with yet another real woman getting shoved aside for a man with delusions of glandeur. I might not have bothered with some anonymous source out of Los Angeles, but we've got videos — yes, that's videos, plural — of the whole, disgusting affair at a local Gold's Gym. The unnamed woman was obviously furious after a man only barely pretending to be a woman invaded the women's locker room while she was fully disrobed.

The terror attacks of Sept. 11 forever changed New York City and the United States of America. It’s hard to believe that 24 years after the attack, New York City may elect a Ugandan-born Islamist mayor who openly campaigned with an “unindicted co-conspirator” in the first World Trade Center terrorist attack. As a veteran of the war in Afghanistan, I feel compelled to share my firsthand experience with radical Islam and warn America that Zohran Mamdani’s candidacy is a risk to America’s future. Federal prosecutors considered Imam Siraj Wahhaj an unindicted co-conspirator of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing that killed six people. Several of the terrorists involved

Many people assume that the Islamic State (ISIS) is a thing of the past. No one, however, bothered to tell ISIS. On Tuesday, Nov. 4, the jihad terror group promised to make 11/4 a day that New Yorkers will remember the way they remember 9/11. Announcing "Operation Manhattan Project,” the jihad group began piously: “All praise is due to Allah and may his peace and blessing be upon His Messenger and upon his companions and family.” Praising Allah, however, was by no means all that they had in mind. “We, in the Islamic State,” the communique continued, “would like to express our sincerest excitement and deepest commendation for today’s jihad

Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) will formally introduce articles of impeachment against radical left-wing U.S. District Judge James Boasberg for what he calls the judge’s “corrupt and unethical” role in the so-called Arctic Frost investigation. "Chief Judge Boasberg has compromised the impartiality of the judiciary and created a constitutional crisis. He is shamelessly weaponizing his power against his political opponents, including Republican members of Congress who are faithfully serving the American people within their jurisdiction," Gill told Fox News Digital. “Judge Boasberg was an accomplice in the egregious Arctic Frost scandal where he equipped the Biden DOJ to spy on Republican senators. His lack of integrity makes him clearly unfit

The White House offered no public condolences Tuesday on the death of former Vice President Dick Cheney — saying flags were lowered to half-staff at the executive mansion because the law requires it. President Trump has repeatedly attacked Cheney, who died Monday at age 84, as a “warmonger” and sparred with his daughter, former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) who served as the top Republican on the House select committee that investigated Trump’s role in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. Both Dick and Liz Cheney endorsed then-Vice President Kamala Harris in last year’s election, with the former VP saying Trump was the greatest threat to the country since its founding.

The coalition government of center-right Christian Democrats and Christian Social Union (CDU/CSU) and center-left Social Democrats (SPD), which has been in office since May 2025, is aiming to significantly increase the number of people who have been ordered to leave the country in the campaign they are calling a "repatriation offensive." However, the political and media debate has tended to focus on a different word: deportations. The dispute over deportations to Syria, a country devastated by a long civil war, shows just how difficult this undertaking is — and just how divergent opinions are, even among the government's two conservative Christian parties.

The release last week by the U.S. House and U.S. Senate Judiciary Committees of more than 2,000 pages of FBI documents reveals the enormity of the Biden administration’s determination to persecute and prosecute President Donald Trump, his political allies and supporters, the Republican Party, and literally hundreds of conservative political operatives, leaders, organizations, and even media entities. The Biden administration presided over an unimaginably aggressive political witch hunt that has cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars and burdened thousands of his supporters with untold millions of dollars in legal fees and other costs. The Biden administration’s actions were the most horrific abuse of U.S. federal government power against innocent

Voting machines went down in three districts of New Jersey early Tuesday, which is Election Day, according to Early Vote Action’s Scott Presler. Just before 8:00 a.m., Presler reported via X that three red districts in Cumberland County saw their machines go down. “In 3 RED districts in Cumberland County, NJ, the machines are down. On the phone w/ legal right now,” he wrote: Other conservatives on the social media platform highlighted the news and urged people not to skip out on voting. “Election machines have gone down in multiple locations across CUMBERLAND COUNTY, NJ – where Republicans are outperforming their 2024 turnout by double digits, Scott Presler says. Isn’t that suspicious.

The Vatican’s doctrinal office said Tuesday the titles of “Co-Redemptrix” and “Mediatrix” are not appropriate ways to describe Mary’s participation in salvation. In “Mater Populi Fidelis” (“The Mother of the Faithful People of God”), the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF) said when an expression requires frequent explanation to maintain the correct meaning, it becomes unhelpful. “In this case, the expression ‘Co-redemptrix’ does not help extol Mary as the first and foremost collaborator in the work of Redemption and grace, for it carries the risk of eclipsing the exclusive role of Jesus Christ,” according to the doctrinal note, released Nov. 4.

At some point in the last few days, Portuguese Judicial Police (PJ), along with the Portuguese Navy, "intercepted a semi-submersible vessel in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean." I know what you're thinking. It was probably just a submarine filled with poor, humble fishermen trying to earn a living in international waters, right? Maybe narco-fishermen. It was actually filled with 1.7 metric tons of cocaine and four men on board who reportedly have ties to a criminal organization. Authorities say it was headed for the Iberian Peninsula with plans to distribute the drugs throughout various countries in Europe. The four men will be questioned in court, according to

Rep. Jesús “Chuy” García is not expected to continue his reelection bid in Illinois’ 4th Congressional District after his chief of staff filed nominating petitions at the deadline, closing off entry to other Democratic candidates and leaving her as the only other Democrat positioned on the ballot. Multiple reports — including the Chicago Sun-Times, Politico, and The Hill — confirm Rep. Jesús “Chuy” García, 69, is not planning to run for reelection, despite previously filing petitions with the Illinois State Board of Elections on October 27. According to those reports, chief of staff Patty Garcia filed her own nominating petitions on Monday at 5 p.m., the deadline for entry,

James Comey’s legal troubles just got a whole lot worse. In September, James Comey was indicted on charges of making false statements and obstruction of justice. Comey claims he’s the victim of malicious prosecution, and Democrats are out in full force claiming that this is part of Trump’s “revenge,” but newly filed evidence that Just the News obtained is quite damning. Prosecutors have revealed what looks like a smoking gun: Comey’s own words showing that he wasn’t merely aware his top aides were leaking to the press; he was actively congratulating them for it.

Today is Election Day, and for half a dozen states in particular, it could be the day that determines whether the most Communist wing of the Democrats triumphs or not. New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani and Virginia gubernatorial and attorney general candidates Abigail Spanberger and Jay Jones have made themselves infamous with their numerous scandals. But there are also key elections in multiple states for judges, and of course, congressional representatives, both of whom most certainly shape both state and national policy. There’s also the gerrymandering proposition in California, and Republican Jack Ciattarelli could be the next governor of New Jersey. Every election is important because

USAO Lindsey Halligan has responded to James Comey’s motion to dismiss the charges against him in a lengthy response and multiple attachment filing [Full COURT FILE HERE] – [Response MOTION HERE]. In addition to refuting the effort by Comey’s lawyers to challenge the appointment of USAO Halligan [See Response Here], the USAO office also provides evidence of James Comey’s extensive use of Daniel Richman to act as a cut out for leaks and communications with the media [Attachments HERE]. Beginning on January 2, 2015, James Comey hired Daniel Richman to be his conduit to the media for all things around the Clinton investigation.

Monday on CNN’s “The Lead,” Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) called President Donald Trump “the worst thing on the face of the Earth.” Pelosi said, “He’s just a vile creature. The worst thing on the face of the Earth. But anyway.” Reporter Elex Michaelson asked, “You think he‘s the worst thing on the face of the Earth?” Peklosi said, “I do, yeah. I do.” Michaelson said, “Why is that?” Pelosi said, “Because he‘s the president of the United States, and he does not honor the Constitution of the United States. In fact, he’s turned the Supreme Court into a rogue court. He’s abolished the House

We’ve seen some truly sick stuff out of the Left in recent times – they’ve fangirled cold-blooded murderer (suspect) Luigi Mangione, they've celebrated the multiple assassination attempts on President Trump, and they've mocked the tragic and depraved assassination of TPUSA co-founder Charlie Kirk. But this Montana city commissioner candidate may take the cake in terms of reprehensible rhetoric, the kind we’re getting all too used to these days coming out of the Democrats, like Virginia attorney general candidate Jay Jones (who literally wished the death of his opponents’ children). Utterly sick stuff. She’s the candidate for Helena city commissioner

Across New Jersey, bomb threats at multiple polling locations have prompted closures and relocations today. Attorney General Matthew Platkin says law enforcement responded to emailed threats at polling places in seven New Jersey counties and secured each location. He says some of these polling locations have already reopened to the public, while at others, voters have been directed to a nearby polling location to cast their ballot. “Voters should continue to have confidence that they can cast their ballot without fear of intimidation, and we will continue to work tirelessly to ensure a free, fair, and secure election.

Maybe now they’ll listen. For roughly the past twenty-five years, I’ve been warning conservatives to not get careless when practicing journalism. Yes, it was fine to discover charismatic stars like Candace Owens and Ben Shapiro, but if the right wanted to build a competitor to the corrupt mainstream media there had to be ethical guardrails. If we were sloppy our work would not be considered credible. We might even wind up looking like fools. I was ignored, so now comes the hangover. The controversy about Tucker Carlson interviewing Nick Fuentes and about Candace Owens pushing conspiracy theories is essentially a problem of journalistic ethics.

Remember when the Washington Post kept a running tab on how many "lies" President Trump supposedly told? It was something of a running joke for me, since 99% of the "lies" were typical Trump hyperbole and totally inconsequential. The sort of thing he says as a verbal tic, like "I had the biggest crowds," or "my poll numbers are the best ever." Hardly the stuff of a national crisis, and something Americans got used to filtering out as a matter of course. (Snip) I mean, really? 30,573 lies? This from a newspaper that shared a Pulitzer Prize for pushing the Steele Dossier, which was an actual hoax intended to

Dick Cheney, who died on Monday, was one of the most prominent and polarizing Republican vice presidents in history -- and in recent years a blunt-spoken critic of Donald Trump. Dick Cheney and his daughter, former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, voiced their opposition to Trump after his push to deny the 2020 election results and the pro-Trump mob attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. In 2024, Dick Cheney and Liz Cheney endorsed Democrat Kamala Harris over Trump. "In our nation’s 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump. He tried to steal the last election using lies

A few minutes ago, our colleagues at Twitchy caught up with the latest development in the Virginia election for Attorney General. Incumbent Republican Jason Miyares tweeted out last night that the Washington Post editorial board "agrees that decency is on the ballot," and had blasted Democrat challenger Jay Jones as "deranged." Curious as to the context, I clicked through to the link, and then to the editorial. I scrolled to find the passage. And scrolled. And scrolled. And scrolled. Literally, at the very end of a very long paean to "moderate" Democrat gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger, the editorial board of the Post added this final paragraph, almost as a post-script:

A week ago, Bill Gates released a long memo on climate that got a great deal of attention. He said more or less what critics like Bjorn Lomborg have been saying for a long time: sure, increased levels of carbon dioxide will tend to increase global temperatures to some extent. But the increase will be modest and will not have catastrophic consequences. Rather than impoverish the world in a futile attempt to control the weather, we should focus on human well-being, which relies more than anything else on affordable energy. You might think that such a moderate, sensible approach would meet with nothing but praise. But no: climate alarmists went crazy,

With Zohran Mamdani’s ascension in New York City, Bernie Sanders nearly capturing the Democrat presidential nomination in 2016 and 2020, and the rapidly expanding number of Marxist-indoctrinated candidates and elected officials, socialism—or its latest euphemism, “Democratic Socialism”—is now the dominant philosophical underpinning of the Democrat party. This is a philosophical capture that will not result in transforming the United States but in the fracturing and demise of America’s oldest political party.

New York City voters are expected to elect Zohran Mamdani today to be their mayor. Do not make the mistake of thinking this is an aberration. His rise is the natural regression of the Democratic Party. While the Democratic Socialists of America don’t cotton to the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party is in league with the Democratic Socialists. Barack Obama, the titular head of a party that for the moment has no leadership otherwise, recently called Mamdani “to offer his support” and “offered to be a ‘sounding board'” for the candidate. Mamdani spokesperson Dora Pekec said the candidate, who now represents the 36th

Former US Vice President Dick Cheney who was a leading advocate for the invasion of Iraq has died at the age of 84, his family has said. The hard-charging conservative passed away last night due to complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease. Cheney served alongside Republican President George W Bush for two terms between 2001 and 2009. He was the chief architect of the 'war on terror' and was in office on the morning of 9/11.
