New York City’s mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has lined up a slate of familiar names to Hollywood for his inaugural committee, with a massive New Year’s Day block party planned to be held by City Hall. As is tradition, Mamdani will be sworn in as mayor in Times Square, just minutes after the ball has dropped to welcome the new year. Sen. Bernie Sanders and New York attorney general Letitia James will swear him in. (Snip) Mamdani, of course, is Hollywood royalty himself. As the son of filmmaker Mira Nair, he has been surrounded by the trappings of the entertainment business

An “unlucky” illegal immigrant allegedly crashed into an Immigration and Customs Enforcement vehicle and was subsequently nabbed, the agency said. “This blooper is one for the books!” U.S. Border Patrol official Gregory K. Bovino said in a Facebook post. A female Honduran national allegedly ran a red light in Slidell, Louisiana and plowed into an ICE vehicle that was in the area as part of the agency’s Operation Catahoula Crunch.

The U.S. economy grew at a blistering 4.3% annual pace in the third quarter, marking the strongest growth in two years, according to new government data released Tuesday. That growth in U.S. GDP — the nation's output of goods and services — far outpaced the forecast for 3% growth, according to economists polled by financial data firm FactSet. The third-quarter figure, released by the Commerce Department, reflects an uptick from the second quarter's annualized growth of 3.8%. (Snip) The economy has shown resilience this year. Inflation has remained stubborn, though not as severe as economists initially feared
Nick Reiner, who is now behind bars accused of murdering his parents, Hollywood legend Rob Reiner and wife Michele, admitted during a 2018 podcast appearance that he once destroyed the family’s guest house while “spun out on uppers” like cocaine. Nick confirmed to Dopey host David Manheim that he was sequestered in the residence “for days on end,” eventually going “10 rounds” destroying furniture and punching the television set. “I started with the TV and then I went over to the lamp and then [progressively], just everything in the guest house got wrecked,” Nick explained of a rampage that came

The person of interest detained earlier today in connection with the deadly shooting will be released shortly, Providence's mayor said at a news conference late tonight. Rhode Island Gov. Daniel McKee said officials contacted FBI Director Kash Patel ahead of tonight's announcement. Mayor Brett Smiley said, "The status of safety in our community remains unchanged, and we believe that you remain safe in our community." Police initially said they were confident the person of interest was the person who opened fire in a first-floor classroom at Brown’s Barus & Holley building yesterday before fleeing.

LAFD paramedics were called to the home on Chadbourne Avenue around 3:30 p.m. Within a few
Nearly a year after a mammoth wildfire tore through Pacific Palisades, leveling 7,000 structures and leaving many displaced, some residents watched as the mayor of Los Angeles hailed a “major milestone” in the effort to recover. A new home had been built, the first since the firestorms that killed at least 12 people in the Pacific Palisades and 19 people in Altadena, and the Los Angeles department of building and safety had issued a certificate saying it had passed inspection and was ready for people to move in. “The Palisades community has been through an unimaginable year, and my heart

Former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg is less popular among black voters than former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke was in 2016, according to a new poll. Just 4% of black voters said they would support Buttigieg if the 2028 Democratic presidential primary were held today, according to the Fall 2025 Yale Youth Poll. Social media users were quick to point out that former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke received more support from black voters after announcing his Louisiana Senate campaign in 2016, with 14% of black voters backing Duke at the time. While Buttigieg was

In an interview with Harrison Berger, formerly of Drop Site News (which received $250,000 from George Soros), Tucker Carlson claimed that the recent TPUSA poll showing that a majority of attendees thought that “Radical Islam” was the greatest threat to America was really an Israeli “op”.
“I don’t know anyone in the United States in the last 24 years who’s been killed by radical Islam.” Tucker Carlson claimed. He argued that, “I believe in measuring reality a little more empirically” meaning that since, presumably Tucker didn’t know them personally, they don’t matter and don’t exist.

Minnesota Lt. Gov. and U.S. Senate candidate Peggy Flanagan was seen on a Somali TV station wearing a hijab at a mall, as a widespread fraud scandal implicating some Somalis plagues the state.
"The Somali community is part of the fabric of the state of Minnesota," Flanagan said, looking into the camera.
“The Dems are the ones who worked with Epstein, not the Republicans,” Trump said. “Release all of their names, embarrass them, and get back to helping our Country!”
This is a reversal from earlier this week, when Trump actually defended Bill Clinton and decried the exposure of “other people that innocently met Jeffrey Epstein years ago.”
While taking questions from reporters at Mar-a-Lago on Monday, Trump told reporters that he’s “always gotten along with Bill Clinton.” Trump added, “I hate to see photos come out of him, but this is what the Democrats, mostly Democrats, and a couple of bad Republicans, are asking for.”
As Hillary Clinton closed in on the presidential nomination in the spring of 2016, FBI field officers advised colleagues at headquarters to press her on the foreign donations flowing to the Clinton Foundation while she steered American foreign policy and whether she had used the charity as a campaign piggy bank.
But the FBI HQ in Washington — a city in which the former secretary of state and first lady wields enormous influence — let the trail go cold.
FBI New York Assistant Director in Charge Diego Rodriguez advised agents in Washington to ask Clinton several questions about the foundation, which are reproduced in full in documents released
Iran’s president declared they were in a “total war” with the US, Israel and Europe, just as Tehran looks to rebuild its nuclear capabilities and strengthen ties with Hamas.
Masoud Pezeshkian made the bold statement in an interview published in state media Saturday, Barron’s reported.
“In my opinion, we are at total war with the United States, Israel and Europe. They want to bring our country to its knees,” Pezeshkian said. This war is worse than the one launched against us by Iraq. On closer inspection, it is far more complex and difficult,” he said, in reference to the 1980-88 war with Iran’s western neighbor.
India’s government is escalating its protests against the State Department’s new curbs on rampant visa fraud by migrant workers at U.S. embassies.
“While we do understand … that visa-related issues pertain to the Sovereign Domain of any country, we have flagged those issues and our concerns of our nationals to the U.S. side, both in New Delhi and in Washington D.C.” an Indian government spokesman said on December 26.
“There are several people who have been stranded in India for an extended period of time … These [delays] have also caused hardship to their families … and also to the education of their children,” he said.

Imagine if you were a Marxist who hated New York City for its status as the de facto economic capital of the world’s foremost capitalist state, and yet you are clever and resourceful enough to capitalize upon the American left’s increasingly dominant and reflexive anti-Americanism and socialism to get yourself elected mayor of that very city. Would you pursue policies that would be destructive to the well-being of New Yorkers? Of course you would.
The ace firefighter whom Mamdani chose is one Lillian Bonsignore, but there’s just one catch: she has never actually been a firefighter. As a news report stated, “she’s confident that won’t matter.”

Pity the Poor Lobster

Our extremely sensitive British cousins have struck a blow for humanity. Or, rather, for lobsterdom: “Boiling live lobsters to be banned under animal rights reforms.”
In its animal welfare strategy, published on Monday, the government said that “live boiling is not an acceptable killing method”, while also setting out new farming standards and banning trail hunting.
The strategy, which sets out a series of protections for pets, farmed animals and wild animals, said the government would publish guidance on the best way to kill decapod crustaceans such as crabs, lobsters and prawns.
I would have thought that being plunged into boiling water would be a pretty humane way to kill a lobster.
A key GOP senator is expressing optimism that Republicans and Democrats will agree to a deal that would extend expiring health care subsidies, but the effort faces an uphill climb in winning the backing of leaders in both parties.
Without a deal, health insurance premiums are projected to spike by double digits next month, yet Senate leaders John Thune (R-S.D.) and Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) each have reasons to shy away from backing a bipartisan deal. At the same time, failure to pass a bipartisan deal to rein in rising premiums could set the stage for another government -
A Federal judge and Obama appointee has blocked the Trump administration from deporting censorship campaigner Imran Ahmed after the State Department sanctioned him for pressuring American companies to suppress U.S. speech. (snip) "The Supreme Court and Congress have repeatedly made clear: The United States is under no obligation to allow foreign aliens to come to our country or reside here," the State Department said (snip) following the ruling. Ahmed, a British citizen of Afghan heritage, holds permanent residency through a green card.
The Trump administration made a point of acknowledging the birth of Jesus Christ on Christmas, and the New York Times wasn’t having it. In an article entitled, “Trump Administration Emphasizes Religion in Official Christmas Messages,” the Times wanted its readers to know that once again the Trump administration is the worst, this time because people in government did not avoid “overtly religious language, as the Constitution prohibits the establishment of an official state religion.”
The Times, which consistently takes a “freedom FROM religion” approach except when that religion is the LGBTQ dogma or Islam, had to work to ignore the part in the Declaration of Independence that says
