Chaos ensued when Dean Taylor, 65, a Black man, tried recording the Buffalo police across the street. The incident unfolded when the cops were investigating a drive-by shooting of a house in 2019. The officers approached Taylor and informed him that the neighbors did not want him to capture the investigation on camera. However, the Black man exercised his First Amendment right that allows him to record the entire ordeal in public. He told the cops that he was mainly recording them, and not the other residents. The whole thing got intense within the blink of an eye when the...

A viral Instagram video shows a pro-Trump supporter using racial slurs to harass a woman during a dispute over a parking spot.

The video starts with Madinah Muhammad, a graduate...

Former Israeli spy Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of a Hamas co-founder, tells “CUOMO” he’s not optimistic there will be a lasting peace between Israel and Palestinians because some members of the latter group hold fundamental beliefs that won’t accept a truce. “It’s better to wake up now and face reality before it comes and slaps us right on the face,” Yousef, known as the “Green Prince,” says.

Once I was safely across the intersection, I continued to pursue the motorcycle. The motorcycle approached a white Ford 150 traveling north on State Route 23 and attempted to pass it. The driver's helmet struck the driver's mirror on the Ford F-150 and he lost control of the motorcycle. The motorcycle traveled off the left shoulder of State Route 23 and struck the ditch drain. After impact with the drain, the motorcycle vaulted into the air, struck a tree, and the driver was thrown off the motorcycle. The driver was thrown across Burton Street and into a barrier in the...

Bill Maher, an American comedian, political commentator, and television host known for his sharp, often controversial critiques of religion, politics, and culture, used his HBO talk show Real Time with Bill Maher on Friday (Sept. 26) to spotlight ongoing violence against Christians in Nigeria. Maher has hosted the long-running show since 2003, featuring unscripted debates with guests from across the political spectrum. During a panel discussion, U.S. Representative Nancy Mace, a Republican from South Carolina, thanked Maher for raising the issue and said the media has failed to cover the tragedy. “Nigeria, the fact that this issue has not gotten...

Since Labour came to power, it has become clear that the battle against extremism has taken a back seat to political expediency. Labour has always had a counter-extremism problem, and after two decades of work I have done in this area which started post 7/7 under the Blair government, Labour continues to flounder in challenging Islamism in Britain. This Government, it seems, is being straight-jacketed by Islamist loudmouths who have hijacked the public discourse space on who represents Muslims in the UK. These political extremists who have hijacked Islam continue to smear and threaten those within Muslim communities who dare...

Dennis Prager on Charlie Kirk. Please watch.

Israel should recognise the Falkland Islands as Argentinian after Sir Keir Starmer decided to recognise Palestine, Benjamin Netanyahu’s son has claimed. Yair Netanyahu made the claim on social media just days after the British Prime Minister's announcement sparked fury from Israeli officials. He wrote on social media: "I recognise the Malvinas Islands as part of Argentina!" The statement was met with much praise from supporters of Argentinian President Javier Milei. Agustín Romo, head of President Milei's party bloc in Buenos Aires, thanked Yair, saying : "The son of the Prime Minister of Israel announces he recognizes the Malvinas as Argentine....

UNITED NATIONS — Europe alone is not responsible for helping Ukraine bring an end to its war with Russia, EU top diplomat Kaja Kallas warned Thursday. That is particularly true when considering President Donald Trump’s pledge to halt the fighting, she said in an interview on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly. “He was the one who promised to stop the killing,” Kallas said. “So it can’t be on us.” Her comments come as Ukraine and its allies try to divine the meaning of Trump’s sudden about-face on the war between Kyiv and Moscow. In a Truth Social post...

Just got the news the other day that DIL's younger brother, age 35 with wife and young toddler daughter, has lymphoma on the brain. Bobby P. is a church going, hardworking individual and is the only son out of four children. And yes, he did get the MRNA shot. Most likely Moderna. Your prayers and thoughts would be most appreciated. Thank you.

GLENDALE, AZ — President Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk shared an awkward moment Sunday during the memorial for Charlie Kirk when they were both caught on a kiss cam. Witnesses could see Elon Musk awkwardly get Trump's attention, point at the Jumbotron, and turn to him with a shrug as if saying, "I guess we have no choice." Sources say Trump then shifted awkwardly in his seat as if waiting for the moment to pass, but Musk was ready to go for it. "I've never been on a Jumbotron before. Don't let me down," he allegedly said. "Come here,...

Promised no new wars. Ended 7 wars (that we know of). But I'm noticing a disturbing pattern. Seems every week, there's a new conflict bubbling up between the U.S. and 'fill-in-the-blank'; all in a lead up to a war against China over ... Taiwan?

Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick showed his true character this week with his response to the death of Delta State University student Demartravion “Trey” Reed. On Monday morning, Delta State University Police found Reed’s body hanging from a tree near pickleball courts. The Bolivar County Deputy Coroner’s Office ruled out foul play after their initial examination. “Based on the preliminary examination, we can confirm that the deceased did not suffer any lacerations, contusions, compound fractures, broken bones, or injuries consistent with an assault,” the Bolivar County Coroner’s Office said. “At this time, there is no evidence to suggest the individual...

Food is never just food. For many of us, recipes passed down through generations hold memories, traditions, and a sense of family heritage. That’s why one teenager turned to Reddit after clashing with his mom and stepdad over a beloved recipe that he isn’t ready to share. A 17-year-old explained on Reddit that his dad, who has since passed away, taught him how to make a special batch of gooey, chocolatey birthday brownies. These brownies are more than just dessert; they’re a family tradition on his father’s side and something that connects him to his dad’s memory. His mom never...

WHY is some guy taking things down in the tent when Charlie’s blood was still warm on the floor and the CRIME SCENE hasn’t even been processed yet?!?! Whoever that is, he was quite literally TAMPERING WITH CRIME SCENE EVIDENCE! Normally, there would be a HUGE law enforcement presence and they would have the whole area immediately cordoned off with yellow police tape after an event like this while waiting for the Coroner. You wouldn’t be able to get within 100 feet of this scene, not for a second. Instead, it’s like a damn ghost town. THIS IS EXTREMELY BIZARRE...

The Day the Fears Came HomeI still remember the weeks after 9/11. The air itself felt different — heavier, charged. We were grieving, yes, but we were also afraid. In those days, the Patriot Act swept through Congress, and most of us nodded along. We wanted to feel safe. We wanted to believe it would only be used against the men who had flown planes into towers. But even then, a whisper lingered: What happens if these powers are ever turned inward?We told ourselves it wouldn’t happen. That Americans wouldn’t call other Americans terrorists. That these tools were for al-Qaeda,...

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) covered up “hateful” graffiti targeted at Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated on Wednesday at Utah Valley University (UVU). In a post on X, Cruz shared photos of himself painting over graffiti on the side of the highway with the words, “f**k Charlie Kirk” written in white paint. Cruz added that the Texas Department of Transportation had been notified and that they would “remove it expeditiously.” “Some deranged bastard put this graffiti on the 59 freeway in Houston,” Cruz wrote in his post. “TXDOT has been notified & I’m sure sure they will...
