Mamdani picks wealthy Upper East Side
to build free childcare
Posted By: Mercedes44, 4/2/2026 7:27:22 AM
Gotham’s mayor appeared more than willing to incentivize as a means to stop the city from hemorrhaging taxpayers, as one of the wealthiest neighborhoods prepared for “free” services. As with all communists, the reality of governance marked a stark contrast from the campaign trail for New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) after he plied voters with all sorts of taxpayer-funded programs like free buses. Now, weeks after proposing a massive tax hike to cover the budget, plans to open a government childcare center on the Upper East Side are getting attention as a means to “persuade” the wealthy from jumping ship.

Details emerging from recent investigations are chilling.
These men are not "political activists." They are terrorists embedded in an organized network.
The Muslim Brotherhood has long mastered the art of dual messaging. To the West, it presents itself as a network of charities, activists, community leaders and political organizers. Yet the same organization is, in Egypt and elsewhere, linked to terror cells, assassins, and attempts to carry out mass-casualty attacks.
By failing to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization in its entirety, Western governments are allowing it to entrench itself politically, financially, and socially within Western societies.
President Donald Trump announced that the United States is producing “more oil and gas than Saudi Arabia and Russia combined” during his Wednesday night address to the nation on the Iran war.
“Because of our ‘Drill Baby Drill’ program, America has plenty of gas,” President Trump said. “Under my leadership, we are the number one producer of oil and gas on the planet — without even discussing the millions of barrels that we’re getting from Venezuela.”Because of the Trump administration’s policies, we produce more oil and gas than Saudi Arabia and Russia combined,” the president added. “There’s no country like us anywhere in the world,

Iran’s military threatened on Thursday to launch crushing and destructive attacks on the US after President Trump declared Operation Epic Fury an “overwhelming” victory in an address to the nation.
Tehran issued its fiery response after President Trump reiterated his intentions to bomb Iran back to the Stone Age, branding the Islamic Republic “fanatical” and the “most violent and thuggish regime on Earth.”
“With trust in almighty God, this war will continue until your humiliation, disgrace, permanent and certain regret,and surrender,” Khatam Al-Anbiya, the military’s operational command, said in a statement aired on state TV.
“Await our more crushing, broader and more destructive actions.”
NATO members are not legally required to join any member’s military operations that are not formally sanctioned by the alliance or not aimed at protecting the homelands of the membership.
But they often do just that.
Some NATO members joined the Americans in Afghanistan and Iraq on the theory that, in the post-9/11 environment, the Taliban and Saddam Hussein were dangers to all Western security. They followed the precedent set by America’s 1999 intervention in the distant Balkans, leading a three-month NATO campaign to dismantle Slobodan Milošević’s often bloody ambitions of a Greater Serbia. The U.S. also joined the 2011 U.N.-approved, and French- and British-inspired,
President Donald Trump on Wednesday night delivered an address to the nation that achieved the legacy media headlines he needed to be displayed for the American people and made an unequivocal America-first declaration that the issues surrounding the Strait of Hormuz are not America's problem.
"We produce more oil and gas than Saudi Arabia and Russia combined," Trump said in a prime-time White House address. "And we're in great shape for the future. The U.S. imports almost no oil through the Hormuz Strait and won't be taking any in the future. We don't need it."

The makers of a documentary about the IRS whistleblowers who shined a light on the DOJ’s slow-walking of its Hunter Biden investigation say the ads to fund their film may be being “suppressed” by social media companies in a saga reminiscent of Big Tech’s censoring of stories about Joe Biden’s son in October 2020.
Tristan Leavitt, the president of Empower Oversight, which represented IRS supervisory special agent Gary Shapley and IRS special agent Joseph Ziegler in their efforts to share the truth about the deeply flawed federal inquiry into Hunter Biden. Leavitt told key Republican lawmakers on Wednesday that the documentary featuring Shapley,
Top Iranian officials denied President Trump’s claim that the regime begged for a cease-fire deal on Wednesday, insisting that Tehran is committed to winning the war.
A spokesperson for the office of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian rejected Trump’s post on Truth Social claiming that Tehran had reached out to Washington for a peace deal.
“The stance of the Islamic Republic of Iran regarding the defense of the homeland against the onslaught of the forces of evil and the conditions for ending the imposed war has undergone no change, and there is no regard whatsoever for the delusions and lies of the criminal aggressors,” Seyyed Mehdi Tabatabaei wrote on X.
In December of 2025, the FBI identified the alleged pipe bomber and conducted a search on his home, and arrested Brian Cole Jr., 30, of Woodbridge, Virginia, after a “fresh review” of old evidence. The FBI claimed they found evidence during the search that suggested Cole Jr. was the person responsible for placing the inert devices at the RNC and DNC Headquarters on the evening of January 5, 2021. Following his arrest, Cole, who is said to be autistic, sought bail in January 2026, but was denied by U.S. Magistrate Judge Brian Sharbaugh after Cole admitted to planting the bombs after hours of intense interrogation; however,
NASA successfully launched its Artemis II lunar mission Wednesday night, signaling the first moon mission since the space agency ended its Apollo missions over 50 years ago.
The mission marks the first time NASA astronauts have left Earth’s orbit since 1972 to embark on the roughly 685,000-mile journey aboard the Orion capsule and slingshot back for the return home.
Launch director Charlie Blackwell-Thompson told the Artemis crew that “the hopes and dreams of a new generation," are with them as they aim to reach a greater distance from Earth than anyone has before.
“On this historic mission, you take with you the heart of the Artemis team,

The possible destruction of the mullahs' regime in Iran would not merely represent a geopolitical victory; it would mark the dawn of an era in which the idea that all human societies must be governed by Allah's law and not by men could finally be escorted back to where it came from.
Of course not all Muslims are extremists. Many might even wish to leave Islam – if doing so were not regarded by their coreligionists as apostasy, punishable by death. As Qaradawi admitted on Egyptian television in 2013, "If they had gotten rid of the apostasy punishment [death], Islam would not exist today."

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., teamed up on a proposed moratorium on data centers. The measure would “enact a reasonable pause” in the development of such facilities.
Ocasio-Cortez said in an announcement on the bill that AI poses an “existential harm” to our society. The two lawmakers demand that “billionaire Big Tech oligarchs” not be allowed to harm health and safety, that AI should be developed for the benefit of workers and not the wealthy, and that data centers should not impact electricity costs.

During oral arguments at the Supreme Court on Wednesday, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson made her case for why the children of foreign tourists ought to qualify for birthright American citizenship if they are born in the United States while their parents are on vacation.
The case, known as Trump v. Barbara, will decide whether or not President Donald Trump’s executive order to end birthright citizenship for the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens and foreign tourists, often referred to as “anchor babies,” is constitutional.
During an exchange with the ACLU’s Cecillia Wang, who is arguing that the order is unconstitutional, Jackson seemingly made a case for why birthright citizenship should extend to foreigners

President Donald Trump says he is reconsidering America’s membership of NATO after not a single member heeded his call for aid in securing the Middle East from Iranian threats, he told a British newspaper.
It was “actually hard to believe” the hard refusals of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO’s) European members, that the instinct to rally to the flag of a fellow member when called wasn’t reflexive, U.S. President Donald Trump has told The Daily Telegraph.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) claims President Donald Trump’s administration is committing “assaults against immigrants” less than 10 days after 18-year-old Sheridan Gorman was murdered in the Windy City, allegedly at the hands of an illegal alien released into the United States by the Biden administration.
During a “No Kings” protest in Chicago, Illinois, over the weekend, Johnson told MS NOW in an interview that Americans must fight the Trump administration on immigration.
“We have to end the assaults against immigrants,” Johnson said, among other things.
ABC News was out of control with their dangerous conspiracy theories Tuesday morning. In an attempt to gaslight their viewers into thinking President Trump was preparing to do something horrific against America, they pretended that the White House didn’t already have a bunker underneath it. They blatantly claimed the one reportedly being built under the new ballroom was being designed for him to hold onto power and control the country after he would refuse to leave office.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi floated the possibility on Tuesday that Republicans might try to hack into election systems to change the outcome of the 2026 midterm elections.
That’s rich coming from a leader in the Democratic Party who chastised the GOP for questioning the integrity of the 2020 presidential election.
You’ll recall that Democratic election officials in 2020, without the approval of their state legislatures, made all kinds of last-minute election rule and procedural changes regarding mail-in ballots and due dates, among other matters, in key swing states like Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin,

Strike ‘Entombed’ Iran Uranium Deep
Underground, Avoiding High‑Risk Ground Op 13 replies
The recent massive U.S. strike near Iran’s central city of Isfahan likely sought to render Tehran’s remaining highly enriched uranium stockpile inaccessible by burying it deep underground — a strategy that would negate the need for a prolonged and risky U.S. ground operation to extract the material, according to an Israeli military analyst writing Tuesday.
Writing in Ynet on Tuesday, Israeli military analyst Ron Ben-Yishai — a veteran Yediot Ahronot correspondent and Israel Prize recipient — assessed that the strike reflects a deliberate U.S. effort to neutralize Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile by entombing it beneath rock, soil, and collapsed tunnel infrastructure rather than attempting to remove it by force.

federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration unlawfully pulled the plug on nearly a million asylum-seekers who were temporarily allowed to live in the U.S. thanks to the Biden-era CBP One app.
Fox News reports that the app was used by then-President Joe Biden’s administration beginning in 2023 to allow migrants to schedule appointments with immigration officials with many of the migrants being paroled into the U.S. for up to two years.
On Tuesday, U.S. District Court Judge Allison Burroughs invalidated the Trump administration’s decision to end the immigration parole status of migrants who entered the country under the Biden-era CBP Home policy.In her ruling, Burroughs wrote,

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is willing to join the US-Iran war and is preparing to help the United States and other allies reopen the Strait of Hormuz by force, according to a new report that cited Arab officials. This comes as Iran continues its attacks on the UAE and other Gulf states in response to US-Israeli attacks on its territory. Such a move would make the UAE the first Persian Gulf country to join the conflict directly. This also comes after US President Donald Trump lashed out at allies on Tuesday for not doing more to support the US war effort against Iran,
