Zohran Mamdani’s wife Rama Duwaji uses
her art to rage against US ‘imperialism’
and ‘Israeli war crimes’

Just about every month Rama Duwaji, the coy artist wife of mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, makes a list of the things that “make me want to make art.” On October 9, as her husband continued with his frenetic campaign for office, those inspirations included “the relief work on the facade of the Grand Central Terminal” and the patterns of a Jacquard loom,” an 1805 weaving machine. A few days later, Duwaji, 28 — who was born in Texas but identifies as Syrian — included a post in her Instagram stories which may have shocked some of her followers, for it was in stark contrast

After rejecting a $25 million deal with ICE, Dallas Police Chief Daniel Comeaux claimed the partnership would bring “no value at all.”
Comeaux defended his decision against partnering with ICE in a joint hearing of the Dallas Public Safety Committee and Government Efficiency Committee on November 6.
As The Dallas Express reported, Comeaux recently rejected a $25 million partnership with ICE under the 287(g) program, which gives funding and immigration authority to local police.
“Can you explain to me if there would be any value for us to be involved in this 287(g) program?” asked Councilman Bill Roth.
“I see no value at all for us to be involved in this program,” Comeaux replied.
Mark Wolf, a Massachusetts-based Reagan-appointed federal judge announced late Friday evening that he is resigning from the bench early so he can publicly trash President Trump.
“In 1985, President Ronald Reagan appointed me as a federal judge. I was 38 years old. At the time, I looked forward to serving for the rest of my life. However, I resigned Friday, relinquishing that lifetime appointment and giving up the opportunity for public service that I have loved,” Wolf wrote in an op-ed for The Atlantic.
Wolf said he’s resigning so he can publicly attack President Trump for ‘targeting his adversaries.’
“My reason is simple: I no longer can bear to be restrained by what
Kash Back: FBI boss Patel’s jet use

are saving tax dollars 0 replies
FBI Director Kash Patel’s use of a government jet, required by federal policy, is largely in line with that of his two immediate predecessors, but he has taken steps to save taxpayers significant money by avoiding commercial airports and their expensive landing fees when possible, according to flight logs reviewed by Just the News.
Patel's travel has been the subject of a whisper campaign in Washington circles echoed by legacy news sites since he took office in late February, but the flight logs show he actually has flown the FBI jet slightly less often than ex-Director James Comey and slightly more than his immediate predecessor Christopher Wray.
On Sunday’s “Face the Nation” on CBS, Gov.-elect Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) said she will defend her state’s universities against the Trump administration’s attacks.
Partial transcript as follows:
MARGARET BRENNAN: Just a few days ago, Cornell University reached a $60 million deal with the Trump administration in order to see their federal funding restored. This is the fifth such deal since the administration began this pressure campaign on universities. I know you went to University of Virginia, as did I, and must be following that. UVA cut deals with the government, including kicking out the president of the school. You called that extortion. But now, as governor, are you going to have
When Sen. Elizabeth A. Warren recently traveled to the Big Apple to endorse New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, she was asked if overt socialism is really the best model for Democrats to adopt. “You bet,” she replied in her signature folksy style. The Boston lawmaker wasn’t just jumping on the sudden trendiness of socialism three-and-a-half decades after its near-extinction. With Senate fellow traveler Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., Warren has been a catalyst for moving her party to the left since her first campaign in 2012. She and Sanders are, in many ways, the godparents of the self-avowed democratic socialists such as Mamdani and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,

Thieves are stealing millions in cargo from American trucking companies every year, beleaguering an industry already reeling from a string of horrific highway crashes.
A pair of highway truck crashes, caused by Indian nationals who entered the country unlawfully, sparked national outrage over trucking regulations and prompted the Trump administration to issue sweeping restrictions on commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) for illegal migrants. Trucking experts point to a combination of mass illegal immigration and lax vetting procedures as the recipe that not only attracted unqualified migrant truckers, but also a significant uptick in freight thefts. “The unprecedented influx of unvetted foreign individuals into our trucking industry has precipitated a national security crisis,”

Jay Jones made history this week as the first person to be elected attorney general of Virginia after fantasizing about murdering a political opponent's children and urinating on Republicans' graves. So it makes sense that Jones would seek the counsel of another Virginia politician who knows what it takes to overcome a scandal involving moral depravity. (Step 1: Refuse to step down. Step 2: Be a Democrat.)
Jones announced Thursday that former Gov. Ralph Northam (D., Va.) was among the "distinguished and experienced leaders" who would serve as co-chairs of his "Standing Up for Virginians" transition team. Northam is best known for surviving a racism scandal
You’ve never heard of Joe Tache, but chances are that over the next year, you will hear a little more about him for all the wrong reasons. Although the 30-year-old Northeastern University graduate is running for U.S. Senate in Massachusetts to unseat incumbent Democrat Ed Markey, we surprisingly know very little about him at this stage. According to his website, he is running as a member of the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL). He’s a bearded Millennial who favors Malcolm X-style glasses. He’s been “a youth worker, community organizer, and socialist based in Boston. For over ten years, Joe has been part

Mayor Jacob Frey Delivers Victory Speech

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) recently won reelection, but his victory speech has drawn criticism.
Video footage shows Frey speaking to a crowd in Somali and appeared to thank those who voted for him, addressing “the great people of Minneapolis,” Fox News reported Saturday.
“And I say that very intentionally, because no matter where you are from, Minneapolis should be a place where you are proud to call home,” he added.
However, social media users criticized Frey’s use of the foreign language, one person writing, “How embarrassing. This is America.” "This dude faked cried at Floyd’s funeral, got booed out of his own town, threw his cops under the bus, & is now
The Democratic Socialists of America’s Big Apple chapter will push Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani to implement a virulently anti-Israel agenda, leaked documents show.
Included in the NYC-DSA’s “Anti-War Working Group” list of a dozen “demands” for the incoming is an end all city contracts with companies doing business with Israel, and withdrawing all funds from banks lending money to the Jewish state, according to a planning document first exposed by Just The News.
The five-page screed was distributed at the group’s Nov. 2 public meeting, and reveals the DSA’s NYC chapter has been plotting since at least late September on how to best to ensure the pro-Palestine, Israel-hating Mamdani fully supports

Why Are Things Unaffordable?
16 replies
With the election of Zohran Mamdani as Mayor of New York, much conversation has been made of his appeal to “affordability.”
As I’ve written previously, this is a noble conversation, but one that has been dishonestly framed (by Democrats and media) to date. [snip]
First let’s look at the role that government has already played and its effect on affordability. What areas in the economy have seen the greatest increase in costs for the consumer? Education, housing, healthcare, and food. ronically, these are all areas of the economy that the government has interjected itself in the form of subsidies, regulations, government-backed loans, and transfer payments.
As awful as the mayoral election outcome was for sensible New Yorkers, misguided Washington Republicans plan to use the results as a club to further punish the city.
If they succeed in hitting Gotham with enormous financial penalties for electing socialist radical Zohran Mamdani, the GOP wackos will end up penalizing all 8 million New Yorkers, including the 1 million who rejected Mamdani to vote for other candidates.
The efforts also could turn Mamdani into a martyr, which would boost his popularity and inspire far-leftist copycat candidates across America.
Another unintended consequence of the daffy congressional effort could be the death of the election chances of one of their own.
Target wants its employees to spread some holiday cheer — whether they like it or not, according to a report.
The Minneapolis-based retailer issued a new directive mandating in-store workers smile and make eye contact and either greet or wave to any shopper that comes within 10 feet, according to Bloomberg News.
If a customer steps within four feet, then the service rep is instructed to ask whether they need help or how their day is going, the new guidance said.
Major retailers like Walmart and Disney have long used similar customer-greeting rules that require employees to smile, make eye contact and offer assistance when guests come within a set distance.
In a series of statements from his Truth Social account, President Trump is recommending that congress bypass the subsides for insurance companies and instead send the funds directly to the healthcare consumers who can negotiate with their healthcare providers. I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE, and have money left over. In other words, take from the BIG, BAD Insurance Companies, give it to the people,

regime to cut off water to Tehran, consider evacuation 11 replies
Iran is set to turn off the water in several regions, including Tehran — as the country falls into the grips of its worst drought in decades.
The Islamic Republic announced it would be shutting off its water supply on Saturday night due to the mounting crisis which will see the capital dry up — with officials contemplating evacuating it, Haaretz reported.
“We are forced to cut off water supply to citizens on some evenings so that reservoirs can refill,” Energy Minister Abbas Alibadi said on state television Saturday. Alibadi suggested that Iranians install pumps to compensate for the lack of pressure and supply gaps.

Perhaps the greatest fallacy of the whole "our diversity is our strength" nonsense is the idea that people from Third World, or even post-Stone Age, low-trust societies can successfully set aside their culture and upbringing to function as members of a modern nation where their neighbor is a fellow citizen and not prey. Once upon a time, our education system was at least as devoted to developing citizens as it was to gender pronouns. Teachers took kids from rural Sicily, Jews from the ghettos of Poland and Russia, the kids of sharecroppers and coal miners; in fact, they took all comers and turned them into Americans
TAMPA - Four people are dead and at least 13 are injured after a man crashed into an Ybor City business early Saturday morning, according to officers.
The Tampa Police Department said they arrested Silas Sampson, 22, on multiple charges after the massive deadly crash. Tampa Police Chief Lee Bercaw says this began at 12:30 a.m. Saturday morning when officers spotted two vehicles racing near Hanna Avenue and Nebraska Avenue in Tampa. They proceeded westbound on Hillsborough Avenue when one of the vehicles drove onto I-275 Southbound. TPD's air unit tracked it as it then exited downtown. Florida Highway Patrol troopers joined in and tracked the vehicle to Nebraska Avenue
The Heritage Foundation’s Meltdown
10 replies
Is there anything left to say about the Heritage Foundation’s pre-Halloween melodrama? It was quite a scary show. I am confident that when Kevin Roberts, president of that venerable bastion of conservatism, got outside his morning egg on October 30, he had no inkling that his two-minute and thirty-nine-second video clip would precipitate a seismic detonation that would rock the foundation and monopolize the news cycle for days.
The main purpose of the video, Roberts said, was to reaffirm that the commentator Tucker Carlson “remains and always will be a close friend of the Heritage Foundation.” This came on the heels of Carlson’s long interview with Nick Fuentes, the obnoxious twenty-seven-year-old
A disastrous shutdown for Democrats got worse Sunday when Senate Democrats folded on government funding while receiving nothing of substance in return.
Eight Senate Democrats voted with 42 Republicans Sunday night on a procedural vote to allow a continuing resolution (CR) funding the government to advance. The motion passed 60 to 40, without a single vote to spare, and will enable a future vote on a clean continuing resolution through January 30, 2026, packaged with three relatively non-controversial appropriations bills extending through the fiscal year: agriculture, military construction-Veterans Affairs, and legislative branch.
