The twisted terrorist will be cut loose without a full risk assessment because of a legal loophole under the country’s Mental Health Act — a...

The professor, Eman Abdelhadi, made the statements on July 5 during a socialism conference held in Chicago, according to The Daily Caller. In her remarks, Abdelhadi reportedly said that UChicago is “evil” and a “colonial landlord,” and that she asked herself why she worked there. “F**k the University of Chicago—it’s evil,” the professor said. “You know, it’s a colonial landlord. Why would I put any of my political energy into this space?”

Pro-Hamas activist Mahmoud Khalil filed a $20 million lawsuit against the Trump Administration after a Biden judge ordered him released from prison. The U.S. Dept of State revoked Mahmoud Khalil’s immigration status in March due to his participation in mob riots at Columbia. Khalil came to the US on a student visa and now leads pro-Hamas rallies in New York City calling for an intifada. The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Farbiarz ruled that the Trump administration could not deport Mahmoud Khalil, who was a graduate student at Columbia University before being detained. Late last month, Khalil was released from...

Antifa Needs to be Declared a Terrorist Organization. Declaring an entity a terrorist organization under U.S. law carries significant legal consequences. Such designations are made by the Secretary of State in accordance with section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), as amended, and serve to stigmatize and isolate the designated organization internationally, deter donations or contributions to and economic transactions with the named organization, and heighten public awareness and knowledge of the organization. These designations play a critical role in the fight against terrorism and are an effective means of curtailing support for terrorist activities and pressuring groups...

Zohran Mamdani doubles down on plan to target ‘whiter neighborhoods’ with higher taxes — and says billionaires shouldn’t exist Socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani doubled down on his plan to jack up property taxes on “richer and whiter neighborhoods” on Sunday — and also asserted that billionaires shouldn’t exist. Mamdani claimed that his soak-the-rich proposal was “not driven by race” — despite his campaign platform explicitly targeting white homeowners. “That is just a description of what we see right now. It’s not driven by race. It’s more of an assessment of what neighborhoods are being under-taxed versus...

Two Muslim terrorists mowed down Fusilier Le Rigby in a car before hacking him to death in the street in front of horrified onlookers near Woolwich Barracks in south-east London in May 2013. They both said that they were ‘soldiers of Allah.” Democrat Mayoral Candidate Zoran Mamdani shared an article by leftist Glenn Greenwald questioning whether the killing was terrorism because Rigby was a soldier.

That was not music to his ears. Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani’s 2019 rap video reached a national audience Thursday night — during an incredibly awkward moment on a live CNN interview that left the New York City mayoral hopeful visibly uncomfortable. Mamdani appeared on “Erin Burnett OutFront” and the eponymous host used the C-grade hip-hop video as an introduction to the 33-year-old lefty pol who performed under the name “Mr. Cardamom.” **SNIP** In the 2017 track “Holy Land Five,” the presumptive Democratic mayoral candidate praised five men — known as the “Holy Land Five” — from the Holy Land Foundation...

Democratic Socialist Zorhan Mamdani, mayoral candidate for New York City, has already begun laying out his vision if he were to win, wanting to shift tax burdens over to “whiter neighborhoods.” The idea of doling out more taxes to white people came in the form of a homeowner policy memo, outlining Mamdani’s plans on housing. “Shift the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods,” one bullet point read. “The property tax system is unbalanced because assessment levels are artificially capped, so homeowners in expensive neighborhoods pay less than their...

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) praised Democrat Socialist Zohran Mamdani’s victory in New York City’s Democratic Mayoral primary race, celebrating it as an “incredible victory.” In a post on X, Omar thanked the people of New York City for “not letting the bigots and corrupt billionaires prevail.” Omar’s praise of Mamdani comes after former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) conceded the race after Mamdani took a lead over the other contenders. “Congratulations @ZohranKMamdani!” Omar wrote in her post. “This is an incredible victory and testament to the people powered campaign you put together. Thank you NYC for not letting the...

Columbia University graduate student and Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil has landed in New Jersey, telling reporters that he will continue to fight for his country 'even if they kill me.'

Anti-Israel protester Mahmoud Khalil lamented leaving behind some “incredible men” on Friday as he left a Louisiana detention facility, which he hopes becomes a museum to what he described as “America’s racist policies.” “I leave some incredible men behind me, over 1,000 people behind me, in a place where they shouldn’t have been in the first place,” Khalil told reporters after walking out of the La Salle Detention Facility in Jena, La. “I hope the next time that I will be in Jena is to actually visit this as a museum on America’s racist policies against immigrants,” the former Columbia...
