Mayor Eric Adams’ agreement, announced Friday, to limit the time illegal immigrants can stay in shelters at taxpayers’ expense, is smoke and mirrors. It’s designed to fool you into thinking he’s solving a problem when he’s actually caving to the illegal immigrant industrial complex.Adams claims the agreement, with the Legal Aid Society and the Coalition for the Homeless, will allow the city to evict adult migrants from city-run shelters after 30 days, saving taxpayers money and limiting the need for more shelters. Not true.The fine print says illegal immigrants have a shot at staying longer if they obtain a driver’s...

Nearly two dozen lefty activists were arrested Monday for breaching President Biden’s Delaware campaign headquarters in protest of his policies on the climate and Israel-Hamas war. “Young people won’t support a President who flip flops on climate action and who funds genocide,” Sunrise Movement, the group behind the demonstration, warned in an X post. The 21 “adult subjects” who were arrested out of around 100 protesters that gathered outside the Biden campaign office will be charged with criminal trespass and disorderly conduct, according to the Wilmington Police Department. Those arrested made their way up to the eighth floor of the...

The hard-left Code Pink activists who face congressional scrutiny over their links to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) also have longstanding sympathies with Iran and Hamas and a record of bashing Israel, DailyMail.com can reveal. House Republicans have in recent weeks launched a probe against the outspoken, anti-war group to find out whether its leaders take Beijing's money and in return spread CCP propaganda. Against this backdrop, DailyMail.com spoke to observers who have tracked Code Pink's activities these past two decades, and found that members have sympathized with other despotic regimes globally.

Pro-Palestinian protesters are occupying the Cannon House Office Building in Washington, DC, calling for a ceasefire by Israel on Wednesday.

Friday on FNC’s “Hannity,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) argued Israel had to occupy the Gaza Strip or face a renewed threat from Hamas. The South Carolina Republican described it as a “World War II-type action.” “Well, you know Israel has no choice but to go into Gaza and occupy the Gaza Strip and destroy Hamas, or they’ll get hit again,” Graham said. “The old way of doing business died with those babies. So this is a World War II-type action, total war against Hamas. I’m not calling for the eradication of the Palestinian people. There are plenty of Palestinians I...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Sunday that Russian forces do not occupy Bakhmut, despite Moscow’s assertions that the city had been taken. “Bakhmut is not occupied by the Russian Federation as of today,” Zelensky said in response to a reporter’s question at the Group of Seven (G7) summit in Japan.

<p>New York in the summer is a noisy place, especially if you don’t have money. The rich run off to the Hamptons or Maine. The bourgeoisie are safely shielded by the hum of their central air, their petite cousins by the roar of their window units. But for the broke—the have-littles and have-nots—summer means an open window, through which the clatter of the city becomes the soundtrack to life: motorcycles revving, buses braking, couples squabbling, children summoning one another out to play, and music. Ceaseless music.</p>

Canadians are joining the Occupy Wall Street movement after plans were unveiled for an Occupy Bay Street event in Toronto and elsewhere countrywide this weekend. And Canadian news outlets plan a full-court press to cover the social media-fueled protests in Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary and Montreal modeled on the Wall Street protest, which kicked off on Sept. 17.

Protesters with a group called "Occupy Biden" have spent the past week in President Biden's Delaware neighborhood calling on him to declare a "national climate emergency." According to a description for the protest, which took place near President Biden's residence in Delaware, the group said that "nonviolent action" is needed in order to push President Biden towards making changes to his climate policy. On Saturday, the final day of the group's protest, individuals protested on a road near the president's house while members of the Secret Service were nearby monitoring the group.

A founder of a black police organization said yesterday that he was facing departmental charges for publicly criticizing the city's handling of a terror alert last fall. Eric Adams, a captain who heads 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement Who Care, will attend proceedings this week over accusations that his appearance on a television news program in October is grounds for termination, one of his lawyers, Norman Siegel, said at a news conference. On the program, on WCBS-TV, Captain Adams castigated the city for deciding to wait four days before publicizing a Department of Homeland Security warning about a possible terror...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Protesters held a sit-in Thursday at the Interior Department building in downtown Washington and clashed with police as they challenged fossil fuel projects and called for the declaration of a climate emergency. Multiple arrests were reported. An Interior Department spokeswoman said a group of protesters rushed the lobby, injuring at least one security officer who was taken to a nearby hospital. Police and protesters clashed outside the building, and officers used Tasers against several unarmed protesters,...

George W. Bush reaffirmed his status as garbage last week, for those few cons still in doubt. Bush got up on the 9/11 anniversary and proceeded to demonstrate, again, the essentiality of class in American society. Not “class” in the sense that he is classy; Bush, though it was very important to him to front that he has such class, in fact, has none. No, the “class” that is important to W is social class. He once again chose his country club pals over you and compounded it by issuing a disgusting blood libel against you. That’s his “thank you”...

"This gap between the 1% and the rest of America, and between the US and the rest of the world, cannot and will not persist," warns renowned trader Paul Tudor Jones during his recent TED Talks speech, as he addressed the question - can capital be just? Hoping to expand the "narrow definitions of capitalism," that threaten the underpinnings of society, Tudor Jones exclaims, "we're in the middle of a disastrous market mania," adding "one of worst of my life." Perhaps most ominously, he concludes, historically this ends "by revolution, higher taxes or wars. None are on my bucket list."...

Mayor Steve Adler’s Austin is still getting worse. He led the explosion of homeless camping citywide and the defunding of police. Police are leaving in droves, crime is spiking hard, and homeless camping has spread serious blight all over the city. Now that blight is concentrating downtown, thanks to another of Adler’s addle-brained decisions. If you walk or drive around city hall in Austin, Texas, now, you’ll see a new tent city. It sprung up after voters in the city overwhelmingly agreed to reinstate the ban on camping on public land on May 1. Even when camping was legal everywhere...

Antifa protesters have burned American flags and clashed with cops outside the Federal Courthouse in downtown Portland. The ugly scenes occurred Thursday evening, as dozens of the far-left protesters assembled in the area for a demonstration against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The Courthouse has already been boarded up with plywood after sustaining damage during destructive protests last summer, but shocking video shared to Twitter shows all remaining uncovered windows were smashed during the latest demonstration. .. ...Several other demonstrators set fire to the plywood outside the building, prompting federal agents to deploy teargas and smoke bombs in a bid...

The neoliberal drift A key question for this year’s conference, which is due to be followed by a second phase in Singapore in May, is whether a new form of globalisation will be developed. There was a free-market form of globalisation leading up to the first world war, then a retreat during the inter-war period. Bretton Woods led to an era of regulated globalisation from 1945 until the 1980s. But since then, the “global elite” has pushed back regulatory restrictions on everything from speculative financial flows across borders to mergers and acquisitions. A new era is required, building on the...

Sozda Afrin, one of the YPJ commanders, emphasized that they would liberate the areas occupied by the Turkish state in North-East Syria. Sozda Afrin, one of the Women's Defense Units (YPJ) commanders, spoke to ANF about ISIS activity in Hol camp and the occupied areas.MURDERS IN THE HOL CAMPDrawing attention to the increasing mobility of ISIS women in the Hol camp near Heseke, Sozda Afrin said, "What happened in the Hol camp is an attempt to activate ISIS. Women who do not adopt ISIS life in the camp and try to create a new life for themselves are killed by...

There are several Democrat/Leftwing groups that have enshrined the word "Occupy" in their name in proud reembrace of the "Occupy Wall Street" protests. Ironically at the moment the Democrat/Leftwing including those from these same groups are insisting that the Occupation of the Capital Building is high treason. Just thought it a good thing to ask them about. Is civil disobedience occupation type protests something that is on one hand to be championed and adored when Leftists do it, but to be condemned as treason beyond the pale if Non-Leftists do it?

The “October 2011” movement organizer Dennis Trainor tells me that he believes capitalism is “homicidal” and that the U.S. needs a revolution. “This is not a reform movement,” he said. He is part of the illegal occupation of Freedom Plaza in Washington, D.C. The “October 2011” movement is not part of, but endorses the “Occupy Wall Street” movement that began several weeks ago. Although he describes himself as new to professional agitation, Trainor runs the “No Cure For That” website and served as a writer/media consultant for Dennis Kucinich’s 2008 presidential campaign. Kucinich is the Cleveland Democrat perhaps best known...

Okay folks, thanks to brave Patriot Jesse Morgan's testimony yesterday, we now have a smoking gun that can be traced directly to a specific location where there are obviously corrupt Post Office supervisors. I know there's a lot of mobilized Trump supporters in the Ronkonkoma Long Island area. Not sure if any of them are Freepers here, but hopefully somebody with some connection to them will read this. The Bethpage, Long Island Post Office needs to be occupied by protesters. Same applies to Post Office in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where Jesse Morgan was supposed to deliver all those phony ballots. Here...
