REPORT: NYC’s Communist Mayoral Candidate Applied to Columbia as a Black Man

/0 Comments/in , /by

It would be even more shocking if Zohran Mamdani weren’t abjectly insane. The hard left Democratic New York City mayoral candidate has an agenda that will essentially destroy the city, with actions to defund the police and install government-run grocery stores, to name a couple. He’s not a fan of Israel and is pretty much every horror you think of regarding the American Left. So, in keeping with that trend, are you shocked he tried to claim he was black when applying to Columbia University, because he did. Oh, I forgot—he also said he was Asian. Mamdani did not deny he did these things, and his explanation made for a good laugh (via NYT):

As he runs for mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani has made his identity as a Muslim immigrant of South Asian descent a key part of his appeal.

But as a high school senior in 2009, Mr. Mamdani, the Democratic nominee, claimed another label when he applied to Columbia University. Asked to identify his race, he checked a box that he was “Asian” but also “Black or African American,” according to internal data derived from a hack of Columbia University that was shared with The New York Times.

Columbia, like many elite universities, used a race-conscious affirmative action admissions program at the time. Reporting that his race was Black or African American in addition to Asian could have given an advantage to Mr. Mamdani, who was born in Uganda and spent his earliest years there.

American Teen Detained in Antarctica While Attempting Solo Flight to 7 Continents

/0 Comments/in , /by

An American teenager was detained on an Antarctic island while attempting to pilot his small plane to every continent, said Chilean authorities, who have charged him for allegedly submitting a false flight plan.

Ethan Guo, 19, gained an online following by documenting his trip around the world, which lasted well over 100 days and had already taken him to six continents prior to the Antarctic voyage, according to his website and social media posts.

Guo said he hoped to become the first pilot to complete a solo flight across all seven continents in a small Cessna, a feat that simultaneously aims to raise $1 million for cancer research through St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. On his site, the teen cites his cousin’s 2021 cancer diagnosis as his source of inspiration.

Guo’s latest Instagram posts chronicled part of his path over southeastern Asia. But authorities in South America say he went on to traverse the Pacific Ocean, ending up in Chile before making his way toward Antarctica.

According to Cristian Cristoso Rifo, the regional prosecutor of Magallanes and Chilean Antarctica, Guo departed from the airport in the city of Punta Arenas, near the southernmost point of Chile, and proceeded to conduct an unauthorized flight to King George Island. Located off the Atlantic coast, the island is claimed by Chile as part of its Atlantic territory.

Republican Congressman Refuses to Say Why He Called Male Colleague a ‘Lady’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republican Representative Steve Womack referred to his male colleague, who dresses as a woman, as a “gentlelady from Delaware” during Wednesday’s Big Beautiful Bill hearing, according to a New York Times update.

Womack did not respond to The Federalist’s request for comment on why he chose to address “Sarah” (Tim) McBride as if he were a woman, whether Womack believes McBride is a woman, and if Womack always uses biologically false terms when asked to do so by people with gender dysphoria.

The Arkansas representative says that he is “committed to ensuring that the voices of his constituents are represented,” but it is unclear how his addressing McBride as a “lady” represents a state that is a leader in opposing LGBT ideology.

Study Reveals How Eating One Hot Dog a Day Can Impact Your Health

/0 Comments/in , /by

A new meta-analysis from the University of Washington suggests that no amount of processed food is safe to consume.

Researchers analyzed 77 different studies to gauge the link between certain amounts of these foods and common chronic diseases.

“Habitual consumption of even small amounts of processed meat, sugary drinks and trans fatty acids is linked to increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, ischemic heart disease and colorectal cancer,” lead study author Demewoz Haile, a research scientist at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington, told Fox News Digital.

“There is no safe level of habitual consumption of these food groups, so they should not be included in our daily diet,” he stated.

For processed meats in particular, the researchers concluded that eating as little as 0.6 to 57 grams per day was linked to an 11% greater likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes. (Read more from “Study Reveals How Eating One Hot Dog a Day Can Impact Your Health” HERE)

Spermidine Is the ‘Swiss Army Knife of Longevity,’ From Hair Growth to Heart Health — How to Get More of It

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .Studies show that spermidine, a naturally occurring compound, can improve brain health, immunity, cardiovascular resilience and overall appearance.

“Spermidine is the Swiss army knife of longevity,” Leslie Kenny, founder of Oxford Health Span and co-founder of the Oxford Longevity Project, told The Post.

And while natural sources of it include — as the name suggests — sperm, it can also be found in breastmilk as well as foods like wheatgerm, soy beans, mature cheeses, mushrooms and peas.

Spermidine it plays a key role in slowing aging, protecting against disease, fighting inflammation and maintaining metabolism by activating a process that gets rid of damaged cell parts and recycling them. . .

Exercise, fasting, pregnancy or acute infections can ramp up levels in the boy — but our natural production plummets as we age.

Yet longevity experts like Kenny say incorporating spermidine-rich foods and spermidine supplements can keep our minds sharp, skin supple and hearts kicking. (Read more from “Spermidine Is the ‘Swiss Army Knife of Longevity,’ From Hair Growth to Heart Health — How to Get More of It” HERE)

The Autopen Speaks: Biden Comes Out of Retirement to Bash Trump’s Big, Beautiful Bill

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former President Joe Biden made a rare reentry into the spotlight Thursday to attack President Donald Trump’s landmark legislative victory, posting on X just hours after the “One Big Beautiful Bill” cleared the House.

“The Republican budget bill is not only reckless — it’s cruel,” Biden wrote. “It slashes Medicaid and takes away health care from millions of Americans. It closes rural hospitals and cuts food assistance for our veterans and seniors. It jacks up energy bills. And it could trigger deep cuts to Medicare while driving up the deficit by $4 trillion. All of this to give a massive tax break to billionaires. Working people deserve better.”

The bill, which passed the House 218-214 on Thursday afternoon, fulfills a broad range of campaign promises made by President Trump and cements key pillars of his agenda into law. From border enforcement to tax cuts and regulatory rollback, the legislation touches nearly every issue that defined Trump’s return campaign and marks a sweeping rebuke of the Biden-era federal expansion.

Trump’s Big, Beautiful Bill Clears Final House Hurdle en Route to White House

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump’s big, beautiful bill is en route to the White House, the culmination of months of work by the President and his team and the realization of scores of campaign promises.

The One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act passed the House Thursday afternoon 218-214, with the only Republican no votes from Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY).

Republicans successfully met Trump’s Independence Day goal – belittled as unrealistic by the establishment media – clearing the path for a bill signing ceremony Friday that undoubtedly will be one for the ages.

Trump, in a Thursday morning Truth Social post, accurately called the legislation “one of the most consequential bills ever.”

The bill, which codifies into law much of what Trump has done through executive action and unlocks much more that required Congressional approval, may be considered by history as Trump’s crowning achievement.

Dr. Phil Obliterates Ilhan Omar for Anti-american Rhetoric, ‘Absolutely Disgusting’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Television host Dr. Phil McGraw sharply criticized Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) for recent comments in which she labeled the United States as one of the “worst countries,” calling her remarks “absolutely disgusting.”

McGraw’s comments were made Monday in response to an interview Omar gave last month where she condemned a military parade held on Flag Day, as reported by The New York Post.

“Here’s the thing: she has the right to say what she’s saying culturally, psychologically, I think it’s disgusting, but does she have the right to say it? Yeah, she does, just like I have the right to say, ‘It’s absolutely disgusting and whoever voted for her now knows who they voted for and should kick her a– to the curb.’”

Omar, who immigrated to the United States from Somalia and was later elected to Congress, had spoken to Democracy Now! in June.

In the interview, she said, “I grew up in a dictatorship and I don’t even remember ever witnessing anything like that to have a democracy, a beacon of hope for the world to now be turned into one of the, you know, one of the worst countries, where the military are in our streets without any regard for people’s constitutional rights.”

Her comments were aimed at a military parade on June 14—Flag Day, the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, and President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday. (Read. more from “Dr. Phil Obliterates Ilhan Omar for Anti-american Rhetoric, ‘Absolutely Disgusting’” HERE)

Millions of Americans Warned of Terror Threat Ahead of July 4th Celebrations

/0 Comments/in , /by

Federal officials are warning of lone wolves who pose the biggest terror threat to Fourth of July celebrations amid tensions between the United States and the Middle East.

Tensions escalated on June 22, when the U.S. Military bombed three key nuclear sites in Iran, according to Trump administration officials.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said the agency is “working closely with the FBI and other federal, state, and local law enforcement partners to ensure a safe and secure Independence Day across the nation.”

“We are enhancing security measures and coordinating intelligence-sharing to proactively address potential risks, including those from lone wolf actors. At this time, DHS is not aware of any specific, credible, threats to Fourth of July celebrations,” DHS said.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said she has been “briefed consistently over the previous few weeks on the current threat landscape given heightened tensions around the world.”

“Our federal partners reiterated yesterday that lone wolf actors remain the greatest potential threat including during the upcoming July 4th holiday. Keeping New Yorkers safe is my top priority — especially as families gather to celebrate this holiday weekend,” Hochul said.

CIA Review Blasts John Brennan’s Role In Launching Russian Collusion Hoax

/0 Comments/in , /by

The intelligence community assessment weaponized by Democrats, corporate media, and the deep state to carry the Russia collusion hoax into President Donald Trump’s first term was fueled by former Central Intelligence Agency Director John Brennan. Now a new Central Intelligence Agency review concludes that Brennan overrode internal concerns to claim that Russia interfered in the 2016 election.

The June 2025 review, commissioned by Central Intelligence Agency Director John Ratcliffe in May, scrutinized the “highest classified version” of a December 2016 assessment titled “Russia’s Influence Campaign Targeting the 2016 US Presidential Election.”

It finds that the analysis touted by Brennan as evidence that Russian President Vladimir Putin hoped to help his preferred political candidate Trump win the 2016 election was rushed, restricted in its access, and then far too widely disseminated for a highly classified report. Further, the report’s developers “marginalize[d]” the National Intelligence Council (NIC) and others to advance a partisan get Trump narrative. In fact, according to the review, the ICA had “a higher confidence level than was justified.”

“Central to the judgment that Putin ‘aspired’ to help Trump win was one highly classified CIA report. Brennan had tightly restricted access to this information within CIA; it had been collected in July but not disseminated in CIA serialized reporting until the week of 19 December.”

Similarly, the review notes that “media leaks” indicated intelligence agencies “had already reached definitive conclusions risked creating an anchoring bias” before “work on the assessment even began.” (Read more from “CIA Review Blasts John Brennan’s Role In Launching Russian Collusion Hoax” HERE)
