🚨 NYC SHOCKER: 50% of ALL hate crimes target Jews... who are just 10% of the city.

Watch NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch drop the numbers — and Mayor Zohran Mamdani standing right next to her, stone-faced and emotionless.
This is the same mayor who still refuses to repudiate “globalize the intifada.”

Jewish New Yorkers are being hunted in their own city while leadership looks the other way.

Enough is enough. Share this clip. Tag your reps. Demand real protection NOW. Jewish lives matter. Antisemitism has no place in NYC.

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft has funded a new Super Bowl ad titled "Sticky Note", that will air during Super Bowl LX this weekend.

The ad concludes with the statistic that 2 in 3 Jewish teens have experienced antisemitism, and it encourages viewers to "share the square" (referring to the blue square emoji or symbol as a sign of standing against hate).

Check Aliyev’s face while Trump praises Erdogan. LOL.

On other note, Trump showers Erdogan with compliments, but let’s see if he brings out any gifts Erdogan has been asking: F-35s, CAATSA, engines etc

Somewhere last night in New York City, a single mother and her children slept at a homeless shelter because you, assemblyman @ZohranKMamdani are occupying her rent controlled apartment.

You grew up rich and married an even wealthier woman. You’ve had weddings on 3 continents. You own property in LGTBQIA+ murderous Uganda. You make $142,000 a year plus stipends, and your wife works too, meaning you together likely make well over $200,000. No matter which way you cut it: Zohran Mamdani is a rich person. You are actually very rich.

Yet you and your wife pay $2,300 a month, as you have bragged, for a nice apartment in Astoria. That should be housing for someone who needs it.

We are in the middle of a historic affordability crisis. Millions of low income New Yorkers need this apartment and an apartment like it. Yet your apartment remains rented to rich people who don’t need it.

Today, I am calling on you to move out immediately and give your affordable housing back to an unhoused family who need it. Leaders must show moral clarity. Time to move out.

Amazon has explicitly denied plans to display tariff costs alongside product prices on its main retail site. A report by Punchbowl News on April 29, 2025, claimed Amazon was considering showing consumers how much tariffs add to product costs, prompting a White House backlash calling it a “hostile and political act.” Amazon responded, stating that the idea was only briefly considered for its budget-focused Amazon Haul store, not the main site, and was “never approved and is not going to happen.” The company clarified that no such changes were implemented on any of its properties.

Unauthorized Gathering on April 22
April 23, 2025
Yale is committed to free expression and has rules to maintain campus safety, university operations, and the full use of its facilities, which support the work we all do to advance teaching, learning, research, and scholarship. An unregistered group gathered on Beinecke Plaza last night. The gathering of about 200 people, who erected eight tents, was not authorized by the university and is not known to be affiliated with any recognized student organization. The group’s activities violated Yale’s time, place, and manner policies.
University officials clearly articulated Yale’s policies and the consequences of violating them. Following university guidelines, at 11:00 p.m., university officials provided final warnings to the group, which then dispersed. The tents were removed by university staff to clear the area.
Yale supports free expression on campus, including permitting peaceful vigils, rallies, protests, and counterprotests that comply with the university’s time, place, and manner rules. Those who violate the university’s policies and instructions (https://t.co/0konMAI74M) regarding use of outdoor spaces may face law enforcement and disciplinary action
, including reprimand, probation, suspension, or expulsion.

Or Martin Luther Kings version…. in his voice

My friends, in this solemn hour, let us not succumb to the tempting slumber of complacency, treating the sacred story of Passover as mere dust gathered on the pages of ancient scrolls. Let us not see it as a distant echo, a chapter closed and sealed – the bitterness of bondage in Egypt, the glorious thunder of liberation, and then, silence. For the true story of our people, if we dare to speak its name with unvarnished honesty, is not one of comfortable endings. No, it is a relentless pilgrimage, a journey etched not in neat paragraphs but in the enduring spirit of a people forged in the crucible of affliction.
The path from Pharaoh's grasp did not lead to quiet shores, but straight into the demanding, often brutal, wilderness of becoming – the unending task of building, defending, and rebuilding not just homes, but hope itself. It is the story of maintaining our very soul against the howling winds of malice, forces that rise again and again through the ages, sworn to our annihilation with a chilling, monotonous rhythm.
And behold, Israel! See it not simply as a plot of land or a flag unfurled, but as the living, breathing inheritor of that ancient promise, the defiant outpost of Jewish survival. It stands today, pitched against adversaries whose rhetoric and rage echo the stony heart of Pharaoh, armed now with the terrible instruments of modern warfare, yet fueled by the same fanaticism that scorns the very notion of our shared humanity.
So tonight, let the scales fall from our eyes! Let us cast aside the comforting illusions that shield us from the harsh glare of truth. To truly remember the Exodus, to feel the chains fall away in our retelling, demands that we confront the faces, right now, who wear the mark of bondage. Our kin – the innocent child, the hopeful young woman, the weary elder – trapped in the suffocating darkness of Gaza, held captive by a regime that seems to glory in its cruelty. Their empty chairs at our tables cry out, their absence transforms our songs of freedom into a prayer laced with anguish, almost too profound to bear.
As the ancient words of liberation pass our lips, let our hearts, our minds, our very beings be anchored firmly with them. Let our yearning for their swift and safe return burn like an unquenchable fire – a fire tempered, yes, by the sober understanding this long, arduous journey demands of us. And let us cry out for peace! Not a fragile peace woven from convenient fantasy, not a quiet born of ignoring the cries of the oppressed, but a true peace, a just peace, grounded in the unshakeable bedrock of truth – a truth that acknowledges the perilous, murderous reality faced daily by those whose only crime is the desire to live, to breathe, to be free in their ancestral home. Let freedom ring, yes, but let it ring first for them.
