NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) signed a landmark bill banning predatory investors from buying distressed NYC residential buildings. The Community Opportunity to Purchase Act (COPA) is intended to keep housing out of the hands of predatory investors. Nonprofit owners are more likely to keep housing affordable and take care of tenants. The bill is part of a nationwide response to high housing costs, with cities and states trying to assert more control over corporate landlords and the housing market. Last year, good-for-nothing NYC Mayor Eric Adams vetoed a version of it. In Nov 2021, NYS Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani went on a hunger strike in solidarity with taxi drivers while NYS Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) was stuffing his face with calzones and fending off charges of sexual harassment and lying about COVID deaths in NYS. This past April, His Honor declined a personal meeting with King Charles III, but happily rode the subway with the Irish PM during UNGA.
For Veteran's Day, hatemonger Bill Donohue vomited this vile screed: "It is not exactly breaking news to say that left-wing activists, pundits and intellectuals hate veterans. But it is something else again to read how radical elected officials and organizations react to Veterans Day. I asked the imbeciles on my staff to put together a summary of some of the more prominent haters." This white supremacist Catholic, who probably calls Jews "the Christ killers" behind their backs, slimed the "usual suspects," as well as new ones, particularly the DSA.
Donald Trump Jr. claimed comedian Russell Brand was convicted of rape and sentenced to more than a decade in prison because of his religious conversion and embrace of conservative political views, according to a video posted to Rumble on Tuesday. Speaking after Brand's sentencing at Southwark Crown Court for rape and sexual assault, the 48-year-old son of President Donald Trump argued that the prosecution was politically motivated. "He finds God, I guess, changes his ways, sees some aspects of conservative life, and talks about them, and now he's going to spend 10 and a half years in prison for rape when no one had a problem with it in the prior 27 years," Trump Jr. said.
President Donald Trump's war victory claims drew jeers after one of his top officials quietly went into hiding. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has left his Washington-area home for a military base after Iran threatened his life, The New York Times reported, citing three people familiar with the matter. Bessent has spearheaded the administration's effort to strangle Tehran's finances since August, a role the Times' sources said put him high on Iran's target list. He's the latest in a string of senior Trump officials, including White House chief of staff Stephen Miller, to trade a private home for a military base or other guarded housing.
The American taxpayer-funded Israeli Death Forces (IDF) liquidated seven more Palestinians in Gaza, including Fadi Rajab and his son Abubakr (13) in an airstrike against a defenseless displacement shelter. The IDF then murdered four more Palestinians, bringing Tuesday's subtotal to seven. Since 7 Oct 2023, the heartless IDF have now exterminated a minimum 74,645 human beings in Gaza; 21,976 children; 12,500 women. This is Day 1,131 of the Nakba, so the IDF murdered a daily average 66 Palestinians. The diabolical IDF has butchered more Muslims in Gaza between 7 Oct 2023 and 10 Nov 2026 than Bosnian Serb paramilitary thugs from 1992-1995: ~33,000 Bosniaks. But while Bosnian Serb war criminals were convicted and incarcerated at the Hague for their war crimes, no Israeli has yet been prosecuted for their inhumanity. The ICC indicted fugitives Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant and their arrest warrants remain active. "FUNNY"
At the end of 2025, President Trump told everyone how cute Kei cars in Japan are and how his administration was clearing the way for them to come here. In what might be a surprising plot twist, a Kei truck is about to come to the United States as Toyota resurrects a brand. But as with anything, the details matter, and enthusiasts need to temper their excitement for now. On Tuesday, Toyota announced Scion is back, and with it will come a U.S.-built Kei truck. However, it will only be sold to fleets in limited volumes for an undisclosed price when it arrives in the second half of 2027, and it will be limited to 25 mph. Read more

Many defectors see daughter of North Korea's Kim as heir apparent
SEOUL, South Korea " Until she fled North Korea three years ago, Kim Yumi felt deeply frustrated whenever state TV showed leader Kim Jong Un with his young daughter.
The message, she felt, was clear and worrying: North Korea was laying the groundwork for an eventual hereditary transfer of power, this time to Kim's daughter.
Stephen Miller is an ideologue on a mission to reshape the world. But his appointment has a silver lining for Democrats
It was, as the Guardian's David Smith put it, a "middle finger to millions of American voters".
A clear signal that the president has no intention of spending the remainder of his presidency trying to reach across the aisle and reconcile with his political adversaries.
Rather, he seems intent on burning everything down. And in Miller he has found the perfect arsonist.
Bloomberg reported at least 11 deaths by suicide in the year through September as military commanders have since tightened shift rules for cyber staff and expanded access to mental health care.
One day at an Idaho hospital, half the newborns Dr. Tom Patterson saw didn't get the vitamin K shots that have been given to babies for decades to prevent potentially deadly bleeding. On another recent day, more than a quarter didn't get the shot. Their parents wouldn't allow it. "When you look at a child who's innocent and vulnerable -- and a simple intervention that's been done since 1961 is refused -- knowing that baby's going out into the world is super worrisome to me," said Patterson, who's been a pediatrician for nearly three decades.
A college Republican coalition claiming 31 affiliated student groups in 14 states that attacked the Trump administration from the right routed its email through the same Microsoft 365 account as a company controlled by white nationalist Nick Fuentes. Until Monday morning, Microsoft's public sign-in records put the College Republican Patriot Coalition (CRPC)'s web domain in an account registered to NJF LLC, a Fuentes-managed company that also runs his personal website and online store. By Monday evening, hours after the Guardian sent questions to Fuentes and the coalition, the domain no longer appeared in that account, and a Microsoft verification code had been deleted from its settings. Fuentes's own domains remained in the account. The organization has hinted at ties with Fuentes in the past, but no operational link has been definitively shown until now.
The Consumer Price Index increased 0.4% in October after a 0.6% increase in September, according to a report released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on Tuesday. Inflation came in hotter than expected, with economists predicting October prices would be up 0.3% month-over-month. The news is not good for American families continuing to struggle with affordability, and shows exactly why Republicans were obliterated in the midterm elections last week. The report also increases the likelihood that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates again for the second time this year before year's end, with Fed governors stating they would watch the October CPI report to make a determination.
At least 10 US Air Force refuelling aircraft left a second airbase in Britain on Monday. Flight tracking data seen by BBC Verify shows the aircraft left RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk and landed at other American bases in Europe and also at Prestwick Airport in Ayrshire. The Wall Street Journal reported that this was in response to a threat from Iran but the BBC has not independently verified that claim. Monday's departures come weeks after the US withdrew its bombers from RAF Fairford airbase over a suspected Iran-linked security incident. Asked about Monday's flights, an MoD spokesperson told the BBC: "We do not routinely comment on the activity of other nations. Aircraft and other assets move regularly according to operational requirements." Using public tracking site Flightradar24 BBC Verify has been able to see USAF KC-135 tankers leaving Mildenhall throughout Monday.
Former second-rate Faux News weekend host SECWAR Pete Hegseth " a racist and a misogynist -- used Google "woke" searches to deny promotions to black and female senior officers, short-circuiting the well-established merit-based process for promotion. The worst US Secretary of Defense in intergalactic history-- an alcoholic and alleged war criminal who blundered the US into an endless bankrupting quagmire against the people of Iran to benefit Israel -- had his inner circle of pit fiends conduct internet searches of promotable officers to create paper-only files assessing their "wokeness." The March 2025 "Signalgate" scandal also exposed Pete Hegseth as both an incompetent leader and a counterintelligence nightmare for the USG.
