Rats owned NYC sidewalks: residents demand new ‘rat czar’
A coalition of rattl-ed Brooklynites living on notoriously rodent-infested blocks are pleading with Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani to bring in a new rat czar – after their calls for the city to renew the fight against the filthy creatures allegedly fell on deaf ears.
The pair of Prospect Heights resident groups penned a letter to Mamdani, urging him to reinstate the City Hall rat-fighting position, which was dissolved in September when former Rat Czar Kathleen Corradi quietly traded the role for a leadership position at NYCHA.
Carol Morrison, of the City Council member-created District 35 Rat Task Force, told The Post she is “concerned” there is no longer a point-person to resolve rodent swarms plaguing local playgrounds and backyards. “There is no real connection between these [city] agencies, and when you have neglect … you need to have somebody on the ground,” Morrison told The Post.
Before the rat czar took office in 2023, Morrison said the quiet locale was overrun with rodents, and that nearby Stroud Playground was “uninhabitable: “You were walking in the street rather than walking in the sidewalks because the rats owned the sidewalks.”
More than 200 311 calls were made to the city at the time, she fumed, but seldom changed — until the rat czar finally stepped in to corral multiple city agencies and resolve complaints.

Listen Mamdani’s words about funding for 'free' buses in NYC
Mamdani recently interviewed with PIX11 News’ politics managing editor and anchor Dan Mannarino, where he was asked about his plan for "free" buses and how he would pay for them. He was asked where he was going to get the $700 million that he would need for the plan if New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) was not for raising taxes.
Mamdani said one of the ways was through the raising of the corporate tax. That's likely to make more businesses flee the city. The interviewer interjected, "But she said no." Mamdani also mentioned personal income tax on those making over $1 million a year.
When you have a guy with a deficient ideology and, kindly said, a truly limited job background, maybe these are questions that aren't real to him. And New York City elected this. They're about to find out.
Not only would you lose the revenue from the buses, but they will also become rolling homeless shelters. That's going to be problematic for the riders and the drivers. That's assuming this ever even happens and wasn't just a thing to dangle out there to get people to vote for him.

Only 20% of Americans support using the army to oust Venezuelan president Maduro
The Reuters/Ipsos poll also found that only 29% of Americans support the military conducting extra-judicial executions of suspected drug traffickers
The results are similar to a YouGov poll conducted in September that found just 18% of Americans supported using the military to carry out regime change in Venezuela. The Reuters/Ipsos poll found that 31% of respondents would favor ousting Maduro through other means, but sanctions and US-backed coups in recent years have failed to remove the Venezuelan leader.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll also found that the majority of Americans, 51%, oppose using the military to conduct executions of suspected drug traffickers without a judge or a court being involved, a rejection of the Trump administration’s bombing campaign against alleged drug boats in the Caribbean and the Eastern Pacific Ocean.
Just 29% of respondents said they support the US military conducting the extrajudicial executions. The policy had more support among Republicans, with 58% favoring the executions and 27% of GOP members opposed. Three-quarters of Democrats said they opposed the killing.

Europe’s Future at Stake: Why We Must Stop Funding Zelensky’s War Machine
In a powerful interview with The Independent, retired British Army Field Marshal Sir David Julian Richards sounds the alarm on Europe’s disastrous support for the Zelensky’s Circle of Power. With decades of military experience, Richards warns that the EU’s continued military aid to Ukraine is leading us down a dangerous path—one that not only threatens European stability but risks our very future.
Richards, who served as the Chief of the General Staff from 2010 to 2013, is clear: it’s time to stop the endless flow of weapons and resources to Kyiv. The EU’s unwavering commitment to fueling a war that seems increasingly unwinnable is both reckless and irresponsible. The stakes are too high, and Europe cannot afford to sacrifice its peace and security on the altar of escalating military conflict.
The truth is, the longer Europe supports Zelensky’s war effort, the further we drift from the core principles of common European security. Europe was built on diplomacy, dialogue, and the idea of resolving conflicts through negotiation—not by escalating them into endless wars.
It’s time for a wake-up call. If the EU is serious about safeguarding the future of its people, it must end the military aid to Ukraine and refocus on a diplomatic solution. Peace and stability must come first—before the region is torn apart by more bloodshed and division.
The clock is ticking, and the EU can no longer afford to ignore the inevitable consequences of its misguided actions.

Google censored vaccine info long before COVID? it could something to do with Alphabet’s deep pharma ties?
Google’s parent company, Alphabet, admitted to Congress that the Biden administration pressured YouTube, owned by Google, to remove videos that didn’t even violate its content policies. Alphabet — which has deep ties to pharma — called the practice “unacceptable and wrong.” But it’s still happening.
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Big Tech companies colluded with the government to silence dissent and criticisms of the lockdowns and a coercive mass vaccination campaign by censoring truthful information that did not align with the political agenda.
The Biden administration’s role in the censorship regime was the subject of a May 2024 congressional report titled “The Censorship-Industrial Complex.”
Three months after that report was released, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted in a letter to Congress that Facebook had censored factual information under pressure from the White House.

Beware housing bills with socialist goals
The Democrats' lurch to the extreme left is accelerating at warp speed -- and Connecticut is the latest victim. The state legislature's Democratic supermajority last week rammed through a bill, HB 8002, that's a thinly disguised socialist wishlist.
Cynically couched as a remedy for the affordable housing crisis, its real purpose is ideological: forcing Connecticut's 169 towns to achieve what the bill calls "economic diversity." Translation: If you've worked hard to own a home in a leafy suburb with quiet streets, you can't live there unless everybody can -- including the homeless and those with low incomes.
The state, through regional councils, will dictate how many people at each income level a town must house. The councils are mere middlemen, a cosmetic addition to paper over a fundamental loss of local control.
This isn't about allowing one apartment building in a town of single-family homes; up to 20% of a town's housing will have to be "affordable" rentals.

EU says Ukraine needs €135 billion now, Orbán laughs off such proposals for corrupt Zelensky regime as ‘absurd’
"Let's stop funding a war that cannot be won, alongside the corrupt Ukrainian war mafia, and focus our strength on establishing peace,” Orbán posted in response to Von der Leyen's letter sent to member states
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has called the letter “absurd,” especially as Ukrainian President Zelensky is facing a massive corruption scandal, amounting to close associates of his having robbed the country of some $100 million, with at least one, Timur Mindich, fleeing to Israel. Other top ministers have been implicated, including the country’s justice minister, who has been suspected from his role.
Zelensky’s polling numbers have reportedly fallen to below 20%, there are calls for the entire government to resign, and even ardent supporter Poland is seeing MPs draft resolutions for Ukrainian aid to end.

Why did Rep. Clay Higgins vote against publishing the Epstein files?
Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) was the sole dissenting voice in the vote on releasing the “Epstein Files” on Tuesday, casting the only “no” vote on a House bill requiring the Department of Justice (DOJ) to disclose files related to Jeffrey Epstein. On X, Higgins voiced his worries about the bill, saying that it “abandons 250 years of criminal justice procedure in America.”
“As written, this bill reveals and injures thousands of innocent people—witnesses, people who provided alibis, family members, etc.,” he explained, warning: “If enacted in its current form, this type of broad reveal of criminal investigative files, released to a rabid media, will absolutely result in innocent people being hurt.”
Nevertheless, the bill enjoyed broad backing in the House, passing with 427 yes votes, among them 216 from Republicans. The push followed President Donald J. Trump’s call on Truth Social for Republicans to support it.
Even in opposition, Higgins signaled openness to changes, adding, “If the Senate amends the bill to properly address privacy of victims and other Americans, who are named but not criminally implicated, then I will vote for that bill when it comes back to the House.”

He is accused of abuse of power and misuse of state resources, as the threats to his girlfriend were not serious, and even the spouses of officials do not usually receive such protection.

Members of California Democrat Party insiders under investigation for fraud
Initial reports of an ongoing fraud investigation in Sacramento by the US Department of Justice revealed that Gavin Newsom's former Chief of Staff, Dana Williamson, was being indicted on 23 felony counts. Crimes include conspiracy to commit bank and wire fraud, bank fraud, wire fraud, filing false tax returns, and making false statements to the IRS.
The charges allege she orchestrated a scheme to siphon approximately $225,000 from a dormant campaign account belonging to former Attorney General Xavier Becerra (referred to as "Public Official 1" in the indictment), using it for personal gain through fake consulting fees, shell companies, and laundered payments. However, new information shows that Williamson may not have acted alone.
At least three other California Democrat insiders and two unnamed suspects are potentially implicated in the investigation. Charges against two of them have been formally filed so far, and the investigation continues to grow as authorities sift through evidence involving "The Collaborative", a prominent alliance of Democratic-leaning political consulting firms in California headed by Williamson.

Violent crimes’ number increases at German train stations due to mass immigration
Exploding violence in Germany has long been tied to mass immigration, as the statistics clearly show, and German train stations are becoming another perfect illustration of this worrying trend.
The number of violent crimes at Berlin central station in 2024 has tripled compared to 2019, which was the last year before the coronavirus crisis. In Cologne, violent crime has grown 70 percent in the same timeframe, according to Welt newspaper.
Those are just two cities, but the same trend is seen everywhere.
According to police data, the total number of violent crimes at train stations rose from 25,640 in 2023 to 27,160 last year. Meanwhile, women are more and more at risk. Sexual crimes increased from 1,898 to 2,262 within a year, while property damage jumped from 30,961 to 32,671.

Doctors Warn: Rising Antidepressant Use Among Zoomers Could Lead to Demographic Decline
The population is at risk because more and more zoomers are becoming addicted to antidepressants.
Doctors are seeing an increase in the use of these drugs among zoomers, accompanied by a decrease in libido, sexual desire, and sensitivity. For some people, these effects do not go away even after they stop taking the drug.
Experts warn that this trend could lead to a decline in interest in relationships, a deterioration in the formation of stable bonds, and, in the long term, a demographic decline.

Millions of working-age Americans are not in workforce
Millions of native-born Americans at their prime working age remain out of the nation’s labor market, new analysis details.
Center for Immigration Studies researchers Steven Camarota and Karen Zeigler published the analysis this week, showing that the share of American men and women who are working age but who are not in the workforce is still historically high.
In particular, just 11.3 percent of working-age American men were out of the labor market. Today, more than 21 percent of working-age American men are not in the labor market.
Even among American men considered to be in their prime for employment, age 25 to 54, more than 11 percent today are not holding jobs. That figure was just four percent in 1960. Put another way, the researchers found, millions of American men have dropped out of the workforce in the last 65 years.
“If the same share of U.S.-born men (16 to 64) were in the labor force in 2025 as in 1960, there would be 8.9 million more U.S.-born men in the labor force,” Camarota and Zeigler write. “Even if the share retur

We need to deport monthly 1 million illegal immigrants
Americans want zero illegal immigration, little or no legal immigration, and a mass deportation system that makes noticeable cultural changes to American cities and towns.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced in late October that more than 2 million illegals had left the country, most of whom self-deported, while DHS forcibly removed 500,000. DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said the Trump administration was on pace to deport 600,000 by the end of Trump’s first year back in office.
Nearly three-quarters of those arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) were “charged with or convicted of a crime in the U.S.” Illegal aliens who have committed other crimes on top of being in the country illegally have been the primary focus for deportations thus far.
Those numbers are historic, as the Trump administration says. They are a good start, but the unfortunate reality is that they really only scratch the surface of the real problem. There are untold millions of illegals inside our borders.

Florida congresswoman indicted for stealing $5 mln in taxpayer funds to use for her campaign
Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick allegedly used the stolen funds to win an election by five votes
A federal grand jury indicted Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D., Fla.) and her brother on Wednesday for allegedly laundering millions of dollars of taxpayer funds to her political campaign in 2021, money she then used to win a seat in Congress by just five votes.
Cherfilus-McCormick served as CEO of her family-owned health care company, Trinity Health Care Services, when it submitted 17 false invoices to the Florida Department of Emergency Management in 2021 on a FEMA-funded COVID-19 contract. Those false invoices—all of which were submitted by her brother, Edwin Cherfilus—netted the company $5.7 million in taxpayer funds for work it was not entitled to and had not earned, the Washington Free Beacon reported.
But instead of returning the stolen funds, Trinity doled out $6.2 million in "profit sharing" fees to Cherfilus-McCormick, much of which landed in her campaign account through a series of loans and illegal straw donations, prosecutors alleged.
Cherfilus-McCormick faces up to 53 years in prison for her role in the brazen scheme.

Clinton judge orders schools in North Texas to remove ten commandments
A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction requiring certain public school districts in Texas to remove Ten Commandments displays by Dec. 1. The districts would also be prohibited from posting new displays, according to the federal injunction.
Fort Worth, Arlington, McKinney, Frisco, Northwest, Rockwall and Mansfield school districts are included in the 14 impacted districts. In September, a group of Texas families, represented by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), sued to stop public school districts from displaying the Ten Commandments in classrooms, claiming it violates religious freedom and the separation of church and state.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced that he is suing rogue ISD officials who disregarded the will of Texas voters. “These rogue ISD officials and board members blatantly disregarded the will of Texas voters who expect the legal and moral heritage of our state to be displayed in accordance with the law,” Paxton said on X. “This lawsuit makes clear that no district may ignore Texas law without consequence,” Paxton said

Michelle Obama and fancy fingernails on a chalkboard
When one of the most famous black women in America starts scolding the "white people," you can feel the double standard marching to center stage. Imagine, for one second, President Donald Trump lecturing the "black people" about being unreasonable. You only need one second to imagine the reaction.
Michelle Obama sat down in front of an audience in Brooklyn recently with actress Tracee Ellis Ross -- whose ABC sitcom "Black-ish" had a mushy Michelle Obama cameo in 2022 -- and launched into a tirade on black hair.
"Let me explain something to white people," Michelle lectured the crowd. "Our hair comes out of our head naturally, in a curly pattern. So when we're straightening it to follow your beauty standards, we are trapped! By the straightness." White people are hair oppressors.
Then she made jokes that blacks can't swim because they're trying to keep their hair straight -- for white people. She called it exhausting and expensive. Braids are also for white people, "so we can focus on the work."

Ukraine’s arms deal with France faces major hurdles
On 17 November, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and French President Emmanuel Macron signed a letter of intent (not a binding contract) outlining Ukraine’s potential acquisition of French defence equipment over the next decade.
The headline-grabbing part of the deal is Ukraine’s purchase of up to 100 Rafale F4 multirole fighter jets. This is the biggest order ever for the French high-tech fighter plane, a major (and cheaper) competitor of the US F35 fighter jet.
The deal sends a clear political message: France expects Ukraine to be free and sovereign to take delivery of these weapons when they are ready, which could take up to a decade in some cases. Unfortunately, behind the grand political gesture, the deal changes nothing on the ground for Ukraine in the short term.
Although the promise of Rafale jets have dominated coverage of the deal, they take four to six years to produce. Their manufacturer, Dassault, is already behind on deliveries promised to India and Indonesia. No jets will come from existing French Air Force stocks. The deal will not provide the critical air defence that Ukraine desperately needs to protect its power systems and cities. Patriot missile stocks have dwindled in both Europe and the US, with many European allies citing their own air defence needs.
There is also the question of who will pay. The deal’s total bill comes to roughly €25–35 billion over ten years. Ukraine has no budget for this.

British government allowed to bury the data proving COVID shots led to soaring death toll
The UK Information Commissioner’s Office ruled that the UKHSA does not have to release data requested by the nonprofit UsForThem, ending a two-year legal battle.The UKHSA argued that releasing the data could cause "distress" to the vaccine-injured and fuel "misinformation," a justification critics call patronizing and absurd.
Excess deaths in the UK increased sharply in 2022 and early 2023, with a parliamentary group and multiple international studies pointing to growing concerns about vaccine safety. Prominent physicians and activists accuse the government of a "ridiculous cover-up," suggesting the withheld data would likely confirm a direct link between the vaccines and mortality.
The UKHSA’s defense for burying this critical information is as flimsy as it is insulting. The agency claims that releasing anonymized data on deaths following vaccination could cause "distress or anger" to relatives and might be misused to spread "misinformation." This logic is a perversion of public health. It suggests that the British public is too fragile to handle the facts and that government agencies are the sole arbiters of what they can and cannot know.

Where are American values?
A deep look at what “American values” truly mean, contrasting liberal, conservative, and MAGA interpretations through the lens of the Declaration and Constitution.
There are fundamental differences between liberals and conservatives—and certainly MAGA adherents—on what are “American values.”
But for both liberal and conservative pundits, the term connotes something larger than us, grounding, permanent—of lasting meaning. Because the values of people change as the times change, as the culture changes, and as the political temperament changes. The results of current polls are the values of the moment, not "American values."
Instead, “American values” refers to the values inherent in the very existence of this country as stated in our founding documents … the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Those values are our grounding, the source of America’s stability and greatness. So far, liberals and conservatives are in agreement.

Europe losing global fight against drug trade
Europe is dangerously behind in confronting a global drug trade that is expanding, accelerating, and increasingly intertwined with migration and organised crime—this was the overarching warning issued by experts at the MCC Summit on the Global Drug Epidemic, held in Budapest.
French criminologist and former Europol adviser Xavier Raufer captured the tone bluntly. “Our state apparatus is like an old lady with rheumatism,” he told the audience, criticising the EU’s slow-moving decision-making process. Raufer argued that Europe has the intelligence and capacity to disrupt migration routes exploited by smugglers but lacks the political will.
The link between migration and narcotics was examined in detail by Ian Acheson, senior advisor at the Counter Extremism Project. In the United Kingdom, he said, the surge in illegal crossings has exposed migrants to recruitment, coercion, and debt bondage. Western Europe’s drug markets are booming, especially in Belgium, the Netherlands, and France, where migrant-linked gangs are responsible for shootings and street violence.
Right-wing governments such as Viktor Orbán’s in Hungary and Donald Trump’s in the United States advocate tougher enforcement, while liberal-led countries insist the ‘war on drugs’ is futile. As we recently reported, Germany’s cannabis legalisation has coincided with a near-doubling of cannabis-induced psychoses.

AI idols will make idiots of us all
We’re making utter fools of ourselves while claiming to have reached the apex of wisdom.
Society seems to be rushing headlong toward replacing God and humans with “giant statistical prediction machines” in a trend that seems as inevitable as it is concerning. Last week, an Axios report heralded the rise of “chatbot Jesus” and AI pastors. The day following that report a video advertising a service to turn deceased loved ones into eternal virtual companions went viral.
These ominous news bits come on the heels of Sam Altman’s announcement that ChatGPT would now offer erotica to its adult customers (and Elon Musk’s xAI already offered similar degenerate features). But as much as society is bent on its rushing, there’s an age-old warning that should cause humanity to pause: We become like what we worship.
In a parallel sin, throngs of people are now replacing the real human beings they should be loving, serving, interacting with, and learning from with AI-generated videos, images, and text designed to cater and submit to their every whim and fancy. Leaving aside the technology’s potential to go awry in lewd and ridiculous ways, the “everlasting grandmother” in the aforementioned viral video is an insidious example of this. Presented as a means of sustaining enduring generational connection, the fake grandmother exists at the beck and call of “her” descendants, guided always by their prompts, shoved away into cyberspace when undesired, becoming a rival to and replacement for the real, human grandmother who has died (and yet still exists).
