You have to be an absolute monster to be sent to Rikers Island. Mamdani’s constituency. But he won’t meet with the families of the people these violent criminals have killed or the the women they’ve raped or the NYPD injured in the line of duty. Just the criminals.

This is another fitting example of why many are fleeing New York City. The dynamic is nicely captured in the opening of a piece at Tablet magazine: “My breaking point wasn’t getting mugged,” Josh Greenberg, a digital media strategist who left Park Slope, New York, in early 2022, told me. “It was realizing the city had more sympathy for the guy that mugged me than they did for me.”

Editors note: The reason why I place “fast” in quotes is because you can eat like a horse in the morning and you can eat like a horse in the evening. I do not consider that a “fast.”

A Minneapolis health clinic run by Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) sister received millions of dollars in taxpayer funding during the time the congresswoman served in both state and federal office, according to reports examining the funding history of the facility.

People’s Center Clinics & Services, located in Minneapolis’ Cedar-Riverside neighborhood, received $2.2 million in state funding through Minnesota’s 2017 capital budget, a measure Omar publicly supported while serving in the Minnesota House of Representatives.

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani is one of the most singularly focused Democrat politicians I’ve seen in a long time. He often will turn anything, any unrelated news event, any public appearance, into a discussion about the so-called “Palestinian cause,” and how Israel and, via extension, America, is allegedly committing “genocide” against the Hamas (and Hezbollah) terrorists who literally want to wipe the Jewish people and their western allies off the map.

We saw this, for instance, the weekend of March 7th and 8th, when Mamdani’s first words about the attempted terrorist attack by two adult teens – who the DOJ said were inspired by ISIS – on anti-Mamdani demonstrators that weekend at Gracie Mansion, were to condemn… Islamophobia.

“This was a vile protest rooted in white supremacy entitled ‘Stop the Islamic takeover of New York City,” Mamdani proclaimed. “I’m the first Muslim mayor of our city. Anti-Muslim bigotry is nothing new to me, nor is it anything new to the roughly one million New Yorkers who know this city as our home,” he went on to say while merely giving a passing reference to the attack itself, where IEDs were thrown.

Multiculturalism is on the march in California: A Democratic state lawmaker has introduced a bill to recognize two Muslim holidays as official state holidays.

Fox 11 reports that California State Assembly member Matt Haney (D–San Francisco) has introduced AB 2017, which would designate Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha as state holidays and would, in Haney’s words, ensure that Muslims are “seen, valued and treated with the same dignity as every other community in our state.”

According to the New York Post, Eid al-Adha is among the most important holidays in Islam alongside Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan—the month in which faithful Muslims fast from dawn until sunset.

On March 7, a throng of left-wing counter protestors met with a small right-wing protest outside Gracie Mansion, the official residence of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D). From within the crowd, 18-year-old Emir Balat threw a homemade bomb and yelled “Allahu akbar.” Balat and his friend Ibrahim Kayumi were arrested for the attack, and law enforcement later determined that the two were ISIS sympathizers.

All of the above information was publicly available by the afternoon of March 7. By 2:00 p.m. ET, several videos of Balat throwing the bomb were already circulating on social media, in which he could clearly be heard yelling the well-known Islamist slogan.

Despite all of that information being readily available, The New York Times’s first headline about the incident read: “Homemade Bomb Thrown at Protest Near N.Y.C. Mayor’s House, Police Say” — a summary so vague that it almost seemed to pin the bomb-throwing on the right-wing protestors.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani proudly announced the creation of the Office for LGBTQIA+ Affairs and nominated a transgender-identifying male to lead it.

Mamdani said that New York City had the highest number of “queer” people of any city in the U.S. during the announcement Friday. Attorney Taylor Brown will be the first transgender person to lead an agency or office in New York City.

‘With Taylor Brown as director of the new Office of LGBTQIA+ Affairs, the city’s queer community will not only be celebrated, but protected at every turn.’

Last weekend, an attempted bombing occurred outside Gracie Mansion, the official residence of New York City’s Muslim mayor, Zohran Mamdani (D). During a heated clash between anti-Islam protesters and a group of counterprotesters, two teenagers from Pennsylvania — 18-year-old Emir Balat and 19-year-old Ibrahim Kayumi — allegedly threw two improvised explosive devices toward the crowd.

Fortunately, neither bomb detonated, and no one was injured. Both Balat and Kayumi were arrested and charged with attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization, using a weapon of mass destruction, transportation of explosive materials, and unlawful possession of destructive devices.

TPUSA Frontlines photojournalist Gabriel Victal was present at the scene when the attack occurred. But the attempted bombing, he says, “wasn’t the first instance” of violence.

It’s come to the point for CNN where the only thing worse than people not watching their channel is when people watch their channel.

Oh, sure, the former Don Lemon Network™ has plenty of issues with the former. You’re not going to have to give up your jokes about measuring CNN viewership by airport delays anytime soon. But with those airport delays (thanks for the DHS shutdown, Democrats!) comes additional opportunities to check out what they’re doing over there — and holy moly, are they still screwing things up.

Take the attempted terror attack near Gracie Mansion in New York City on Saturday, purportedly by a couple of Islamic State group-inspired nutjobs. (Or, as the network might have called it back in 2020, “fiery but mostly peaceful protesters.”)

Islam in general and Ramadan in particular hold the key for society to prosper if it embraces a “noble vision of hope and peace” that Muslims hold dear, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres tells the world in a newly released video message.

The exhortation to heed the example of Ramadan comes as the veteran Portuguese Socialist arrives in Turkey to fast with Muslims and show his support for their religion, as Breitbart News reported.

The Turkey visit comes just days after Guterres used the U.N.’s own International Day to Combat Islamophobia to plead, “The world’s two billion Muslims hail from all corners of the globe, reflecting the vast diversity of humanity itself.”

He said “Islamophobia” is real and growing and the time has come for the world to heed his call, “Let’s eradicate the scourge of Islamophobia from every country and community.”

Federal investigators are examining three phone calls placed from the family home of one of the suspects accused in an ISIS-inspired attempted bombing targeting Christian protesters and a conservative activist in New York City earlier this month.

According to a report from Fox News, the calls were placed from the suburban Philadelphia home of suspect Ibrahim Kayumi in the hours after the March 7 attack.

The calls were made to either 911 or non-emergency law enforcement lines.

Mental illness often prevents the afflicted from recognizing reality and adjusting their behavior accordingly.

With that in mind, the wokeness that infects so many leftists’ brains surely qualifies as a disease. After all, not even when they morph into literal satire do they stop and reflect on their absurd views.

For instance, in a remarkable pair of posts on the social media platform X, leftist actor and comedian Walter Masterson doubled down on his pro-open borders rhetoric even after a literal Islamic terrorist tossed a bomb over Masterson’s shoulder and into a crowd at an anti-Islam protest Saturday.

The FBI has found explosive residue in a Pennsylvania storage unit that authorities believe is connected to the ISIS-inspired attempted bombing in New York City that took place on Saturday. Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, and Emir Balat, 18, are facing federal charges in connection with the attempted bombing attack.

“Yesterday’s search of the storage unit believed to be connected to the Gracie Mansion incident revealed explosive residue. FBI Special Agent Bomb Technicians and the local bomb squads conducted a controlled detonation to ensure the safety of law enforcement and others in the area. We’re thankful for the assistance of the FBI Philadelphia Field Office and the local Middletown and Newton agencies who assisted our office throughout the night,” the FBI said in a post to X.

Blurb:

That post, however, quickly drew heavy backlash for appearing to downplay the attempted bombing that took place.

CNN later deleted the post, then apologized, writing on X, “A post regarding the two individuals arrested for throwing homemade bombs outside of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s home failed to reflect the gravity of the incident thereby breaching the editorial standards we require for all our reporting. It has therefore been deleted.”

Balat was seen on video throwing the explosive device that failed to detonate. At the same time, he yelled “Allahu Akbar.” Kayumi and Balat indicated to police that they carried out the actions because they had pledged allegiance to ISIS, according to the criminal complaint.

The NYPD has confirmed that the device thrown at conservative protesters in New York City was not just a crude explosive—it was a shrapnel bomb packed with nuts, bolts, and screws designed to maximize carnage. Police say that had it detonated, the blast could have killed or maimed large numbers of people in the crowd. New York came frighteningly close to a mass-casualty attack.

Federal authorities raided the homes of two suspects accused of throwing explosive devices at a group of Christian protesters and New York City Police Department (NYPD) officers during a protest in Manhattan on Saturday.

The raids came after law enforcement officials discovered what investigators believe may be a third explosive device on Sunday afternoon.

Authorities searched properties in Langhorne and Newtown Townships in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, where the suspects, 18-year-old Emir Balat and 19-year-old Ibrahim Kayumi, reside.

Zohran Mamdani maintained the right to peaceful protest on Monday, two days after two counterprotesters allegedly deployed two explosive devices during an anti-Muslim demonstration targeting the New York City mayor.

“Anti-Muslim bigotry is nothing new to me, nor is it anything new for the one million or so Muslim New Yorkers who know this city as our home,” Mamdani said in a Monday press conference. “While I found this protest appalling, I will not waver in my belief that it should be allowed to happen.”

Mamdani called the demonstration a “vile protest rooted in white supremacy,” but stressed that “violence at a protest is never acceptable.”

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani confirms that he and his wife, Rama Duwaji, were at a museum in Brooklyn when an improvised explosive device was thrown near their home during a weekend protest.

Anytime something happens in these United States of America that makes the left look bad, we on the right snark to each other about how the media will gloss over it, glorify the perpetrators, and make the progressive in question seem less bad. Like the two ISIS-inspired bombers in NYC. Sure, attempting to people up with and IED is bad, but the real villains were the tens of people Islamophobiaing in the street. Even by our usual low standards for the journalsiming industrial complex, this CNN framing is something.

Terrorists inspired by ISIS? Meh. Emir Balat and Ibraham Kayumi were just two teens who, on an unseasonably sunny day, made a mistake that could change their lives forever.

Two Pennsylvania teenagers crossed into New York City Saturday morning for what could’ve been a normal day enjoying the city during abnormally warm weather.

But in less than an hour, their lives would drastically change as the pair would be arrested for throwing homemade bombs during an anti-Muslim protest outside of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s home. Here’s what we know so far.

Blurb:

“We want everyone here to stay in New York,” comedian and counterprotester Walter Masterson was saying at an anti-Islamification demonstration Saturday when a Muslim man who pledged allegiance to ISIS allegedly chucked a bomb over his head into the crowd.

But that close call wasn’t enough to shake Masterson’s open-borders convictions. Within hours he doubled down on the same mass-migration position that helped enable the situation he found himself in.

“As a born and raised in New Yorker, everyone is welcome,” Masterson said. “Everyone except chief goatf-cker Jake Lang.”

New York City’s first Muslim mayor, Zohran Mamdani, criticized an anti-Muslim protest outside Gracie Mansion but did not mention the suspects or their alleged ISIS links in his first statement about the attack.

An anti-Islam protest led by Jake Lang, who has described himself as a “January 6 political prisoner,” drew counter-protesters outside Gracie Mansion. During the demonstration, authorities said at least one device was ignited. Two suspects, identified by authorities as Emir Balat, 18, and Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, were arrested on the scene in connection with the incident. Police revealed the device was an improvised explosive device consisting of a sports drink bottle filled with volatile explosive material known as TATP, placed inside a glass jar and surrounded by nuts and bolts.

The New York Post reported that law enforcement sources said Balat used the Arabic phrase “Allahu Akbar” after his police interview. During a brief appearance before reporters, he flashed the single-finger gesture associated with ISIS.

“I’m saying they’re from different parts of Pennsylvania, they’re in different age groups, they’re not known to each other. They did not live together. They do not have family or school ties.”

An attorney representing one of the two men charged with an attempted ISIS-inspired attack in New York City over the weekend has claimed that his client did not know the other defendant charged in the case.

Speaking with reporters, the attorney representing Emir Balat, Mehei Essmiei, said, “I’m saying they’re from different parts of Pennsylvania, they’re in different age groups, they’re not known to each other. They did not live together. They do not have family or school ties.”

“There is no reason to believe they knew each other prior to this incident, and I don’t know how well they knew each other at the time of this incident,” he added.

Just days after two Islamic terrorists allegedly threw a homemade IED into a group of anti-Islamic protesters, Mayor Zohran Mamdani is continuing to show us what “globalize the intifada” actually means. Mamdani, and his terrorist attack-loving wife just hosted Mahmoud Khalil for dinner.

“A year ago, Mahmoud was walking home through our city after sharing an iftar with his wife Noor when he was detained by federal agents, flown to Louisiana, and then held in an ICE facility for months. In that time, he was forced to miss the birth of his first child. All of this for exercising his First Amendment rights in protesting the ongoing genocide in Palestine,” Mamdani wrote. And yet, even in the face of that cruelty, there has also been beauty. New Yorkers raising their voices in solidarity. A city refusing to look away. Mahmoud won his freedom, and a father was finally reunited with his child. Last night, as we marked the one year anniversary of his detention, Rama and I were honored to welcome Mahmoud, Noor, and their son Deen to Gracie Mansion to break our fast together.Mahmoud is a New Yorker, and he belongs in New York City.”

Federal prosecutors say one of the suspects charged in the attempted bombing at a protest near New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s residence allegedly told investigators he wanted to carry out an attack “bigger than the Boston Marathon bombing.”

The claim appears in a criminal complaint filed Monday against Emir Balat and his co-defendant Ibrahim Kayumi.

The two suspected terrorists are accused of attempting to detonate explosive devices during a protest and counter-protest near Gracie Mansion.

Blurb:

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has weighed in on an attempted terror bombing outside his home on Saturday but is downplaying the role of the suspected perpetrators and blaming anti-Islam protestors.

Two individuals shouting “Allahu Akbar” allegedly tossed two improvised explosive devices into a small crowd of protestors led by January 6 defendant Jake Lang, which was protesting what it called the” Islamic Takeover of New York City.”

That protest drew a larger crowd of more than 100 counter-protestors calling themselves “Run the Nazis out of New York City, Stand Against Hate.”

Emir Balat, 18, and Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, were quickly taken into police custody after an explosive device with bolts and nuts taped to the outside of it was lit by one of the men and thrown into the crowd of protestors.

The device failed to detonate and no injuries were reported.

Blurb:

The federal complaint against Emir Balat, 18, and Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, was released on Monday afternoon, detailing charges against the two Pennsylvania men who are suspected of attempting to commit an ISIS-inspired bombing on Manhattan’s Upper East Side on Saturday.

Count one alleges that the two “knowingly attempted to provide ‘material support or resources’… including personnel, to wit, themselves, and services to a foreign terrorist organization, to wit, the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (‘ISIS‘).” ISIS is a designated foreign terrorist organization. Count two details charges for use of a weapon of mass destruction, saying that the two “knowingly used, threatened, and attempted to use, a weapon of mass destruction—namely, a destructive device… against persons and property withing the United States…”

Counts three, four, and five all stem from the first two and reference transportation of explosive materials, interstate transportation and receipt of explosives, and the unlawful possession of destructive devices.

Blurb:

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has decided that one of the most controversial figures tied to the anti-Israel protest movement belongs inside the official residence of the mayor of New York City.

Last night, Mamdani welcomed Columbia activist Mahmoud Khalil and his family to Gracie Mansion for an iftar dinner marking the one-year anniversary of Khalil’s detention by federal authorities. The mayor did not treat the moment as a quiet religious gathering or a private meeting between acquaintances. He turned the dinner into a political statement and broadcast it publicly.

The Muslim NYC bomb throwers hoped attack would be deadlier than Boston Marathon bombing:

New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch was quite clear, connecting the dots that the mayor would not connect. From Tisch’s press statement on Monday, after Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi were charged: As Kayumi was being placed into an NYPD vehicle following his arrest, a person in the crowd asked why he had done this. As shown on NYPD body-worn camera footage referenced in the complaint, Kayumi responded with “ISIS.” And at the precinct, after being advised of his Miranda rights and waiving those rights, Kayumi said in recorded post-arrest statements that he had watched ISIS propaganda on his phone and that his actions that day were partly inspired by ISIS. The complaint also detailed statements made by Emir Balat after his arrest.

Blurb:

Two suspects accused of throwing an improvised explosive device near New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s residence were “trained” by the Islamic terrorist group ISIS, law enforcement has confirmed.

They have been charged after authorities said the device contained a highly volatile terrorist explosive known as the “Mother of Satan.”

Ibraham Kayumi, 19, and Emir Balat, 18, were arrested Saturday following a violent protest outside Gracie Mansion.

Authorities say the pair allegedly hurled a homemade explosive device during clashes between demonstrators and counterprotesters.
