Columbia University failed to bring disruptive anti-Israel protests under control Monday, as hundreds of protesters openly defied the school’s 2 p.m. ultimatum to vacate the campus encampment or face suspension and loss of access to dorms and class buildings. “We will not back down,” student leaders proclaimed in a statement before the deadline expired. As the deadline ticked away, hundreds of protesters remained on campus, beating drums and chanting slogans like “free, free, free Palestine” as they marched, beat drums and lounged around the tent city. Police sources told The Post Monday afternoon that busloads of NYPD officers were standing...

As the crowed swarmed me, one student yelled, “He’s subhuman!” Another student shouted, “I can’t wait for Hamas to come to your door … al-Qassam is going to kill all your friends for no reason.” I pointed with pride to the red Kippah, Jewish skullcap, that adorned my head. It was soon forcefully ripped off by a “peaceful” student who dug his nails into my scalp as he pulled it off, along with some hair. This was one of three assaults I was subjected to at Columbia University. I am a “professional Jew.” It takes a lot to unnerve me....

Former President Donald Trump was greeted by enthusiastic supporters at a Chick-fil-A in Atlanta, Georgia, while on the campaign trail and ordered 30 milkshakes and chicken for everybody. Video shows the former president speaking to workers at the location, asking, “Can I have 30 milkshakes and also some chicken? We’re going to take care of the customers.” He then asks if business is good, to which the workers reply, “Yes.” Milkshakes for everyone at Chick-fil-A in Atlanta, Georgia pic.twitter.com/9kWnLpgGTv — Karoline Leavitt (@kleavittnh) April 10, 2024 Donald Trump just walked into a Chick-fil-A in Atlanta and ordered 30 milkshakes for...

A group of black residents tore into Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson on Wednesday over his plans to spend an additional $70 million to feed and house illegal aliens, and to drive their point home, they wore former President Donald Trump’s signature MAGA hats during a meeting at city hall. Johnson has been continually ramping up spending on migrants, but his attention to Biden’s border crisis has sent many of Chicago’s black residents to despair as their communities lose resources so Johnson can redirect city finances and services to migrants. The self-professed “progressive” mayor has already thrown $300 million at migrants,...

Former President Donald Trump is expected to spend much of the next two months in New York City while he attends his criminal trial, a development that has forced him to reimagine political campaigning to match his unprecedented circumstances.Since the trial began earlier this month, he has begun campaigning throughout New York City with the intensity of a competitive mayoral candidate, despite the Big Apple’s status as a Democratic bastion.Pinning him to his hometown is Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who has charged Trump with 34 counts of falsifying business records in connection with a 2016 payment Trump’s then-attorney, Michael...

President Trump, refusing to be silenced by a leftwing judge and Soros-funded prosecutor, is facing scrutiny for sharing a video of his allies exposing the conflicts of interest in the Stormy Daniels “hush money” case. Jury selection is still underway for Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s lawfare case against Trump. Last April, Trump was hit with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records and conspiracy. The far-left judge overseeing the Stormy Daniels trial trampled all over Trump’s First Amendment rights with a strict gag order. Juan Merchan earlier this month expanded Trump’s gag order to bar Trump from making factual statements...

District Attorney Sandra Doorley repeatedly ignored officer commands when stopped for speeding in Webster this week — telling them she was the DA, didn’t care about the reason for the stop and that they should leave, footage released by the Town of Webster shows. “I am the DA of Monroe County,” she told the officer at one point in the interaction captured by the officer’s body worn camera. “...I don’t really care. You know what, if you give me a traffic ticket, that’s fine. I’m the one that prosecutes it, OK? Just go ahead and do it. Go ahead. Go...

On April 22, 2024, New York Attorney General Letitia James began a carbon-copy notice of litigation against Christian pro-life pregnancy centers. Ten pro-life pregnancy centers have been served so far for alleged “misleading statements or omissions in the advertising of the Abortion Pill Reversal (“APR”) protocol.” Similar allegations were filed against pro-life groups by abortion advocate and Attorney General Rob Bonta of California in the Fall of 2023. The powerhouse public interest law firm, Thomas More Society based in Chicago, is representing pro-life defendants in both cases, pro bono. The pregnancy centers were given five days to respond before the...

District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against Donald Trump was always weak if not meritless. But that didn’t stop him from pursuing a felony case for a low-level misdemeanor that normally would have resulted in a fine that was also past the statute of limitations. Be that as it may, Bragg’s weak case has taken some real hits on Friday, as the testimony of David Pecker, the former publisher of the National Enquirer, has been devastating for the prosecution. In fact, according to George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley, Bragg’s case is now “collapsing on its own weight." "They have...

The rape conviction of movie producer Harvey Weinstein has been overturned by New York's highest court.The New York Court of Appeals, in a scathing 4-3 opinion, overturned Weinstein's conviction on sex crimes against three women, finding the trial judge "erroneously admitted testimony of uncharged, alleged prior sexual acts against persons other than the complainants of the underlying crimes."The court said that testimony "served no material non-propensity purpose" and "portrayed defendant in a highly prejudicial light."Weinstein spokesperson Juda Engelmayer told ABC News, "We are happily surprised and we are studying the ruling."The Weinstein team, which was eagerly awaiting a ruling, was...

An adage learned early in the career of a trial attorney is, “if the law is not on your side, argue the facts, and if the facts are not on your side, argue the law, but if neither the facts nor the law are on your side, make sure you get your fee up front and in cash,” because you are almost certain to lose your case. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is paid by Big Apple taxpayers regardless of whether he wins or loses a case, but he deserves to lose the so-called “hush money” case against former President...

Ilhan Omar’s daughter returned to campus — under the protection of her US Congresswoman mother — to cheer on her fellow anti-Israel protesters on Thursday — as the university’s deadline to clear out the tent camp ticked down. The far-left “Squad” member (D-MN) and Isra Hirsi, 21, posed for photos and cheered on the protesters who had put up dozens of tents near the center of the Morningside Heights campus. The high-profile visit came as the demonstrators were just hours from a deadline early Friday morning to vacant the lawn – which was extended from an original midnight Wednesday morning...

Anti-Israel protesters set up an “intifada” encampment on the campus of state-funded City College of New York Thursday — with participants raising a Palestinian flag over a quad. The encampment was set up Thursday morning, and by the afternoon the Convent Avenue campus was riddled with flags and signs, video from independent reporter Talia Jane showed. “Palestine calls this University Intifada,” Within Our Lifetime organizer Nerdeen Kiswani said into a megaphone, per indie reporter Oliya Scootercaster. “We have a right to control where our tuition goes and that it should never go to oppressing any people anywhere!” Kiswani added in...

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) daughter criticized Democrat judges for giving out harsh sentences to January 6 defendants. Alexandra Pelosi was caught slamming the “liberal” judges who are “out for blood” as they hand out lengthy prison sentences while other J6 protestors get hit with just a fine or probation. “I think I learned in kindergarten that justice is supposed to be fair. A judge is supposed to be the same, and they’re not supposed to be political,” Alexandra said. “And now it’s like one judge you get really makes a difference because some judges are giving probation and...

Video Former President Donald Trump made an early-morning visit to a Manhattan construction site Thursday where he was seen shaking hands with workers before returning to court for his “hush-money” trial, which is entering its third day. Video shared on social media showed Trump mingling with construction workers at 48th St. and Park Ave, near the JP Morgan Chase building, telling them he has “a big case today.” photo The former president told the workers “a president has to have immunity” before the crowd erupted into chants of “USA! USA!” He arrived around 6:30 a.m. and his visit lasted about...

The same Columbia University professor who advocated defunding the police is the same professor who is now pleading for law enforcement to protect him from the anti-Israel protestors invading the university’s campus. Columbia Business School assistant professor Shai Davidai was a staunch anti-police advocate in the past, accusing law enforcement of using their weapons “disproportionately on black men.” “Lawmakers give police offers the ammunition which they then use disproportionately on Black men. Should we hold lawmakers accountable?” Davidai said when asked by author and filmmaker Mike Cernovich if he is “worried that the evil racist police will shoot people?” Aren’t...

Rep. Jared Moskowitz appears to have some choice words for his Democratic colleague Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — though it might not be in English. Following a social media tussle with Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), the Florida lawmaker briefly liked a post from outspoken actor Michael Rapaport roasting the congresswoman saying, “What’s the Hebrew translation for F— Off Lady?” Moskowitz (D-Fla.) later unliked the X post.

Performance artist and anti-Israel activist “Crackhead Barney” refused to say why she harassed Alec Baldwin at a New York City coffee shop this week in an utterly bizarre interview with Piers Morgan Wednesday — and insisted she was “maimed” by the actor. The left-wing agitator’s appearance on Morgan’s “Uncensored” was surreal from the get-go. “I’ve been waiting for you Piers f–king Morgan!” the popular ambush interviewer, who boasts nearly 100,000 followers on Instagram, screamed after she was introduced on the program. Crachead Barney’s face was painted white with bright red lipstick. She wore a messy blonde wig, a neck brace...
