No actual news link, just a NewsMax video clip with Dr. Drew, and of course no information whatsover by Hell Toupee as to the cause of these deaths, Were these four deaths seniors who had a coronary?

Wait, what has anyone critical of Trump said here regarding the shutdown that is anywhere close to your statement (see above) which I will quote again for those that might have missed it: "People complaining about flights being cancelled want planes to crash to score political points." We want planes to crash and people killed just to score political points? There is something obviously wrong with you if you believe that and that was not just trolling this thread.

After last night's impressive win, I think he deserves his own thread as I am sure he will be making a lot of news duing the next four years. https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/new-york-city-election-results-9.6966833 New York City's new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, calls out Trump in victory speech Voter turnout was highest the city has seen in decades The Associated Press · Posted: Nov 04, 2025 6:42 PM PST | Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor of New York on Tuesday, capping a stunning ascent for the 34-year-old democratic socialist, who promised to transform city government to restore power to the working class and fight back against a hostile Trump administration. In a victory for the Democratic party’s progressive wing, Mamdani defeated former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa. Mamdani must now navigate the unending demands of America’s biggest city and deliver on ambitious — skeptics say unrealistic — campaign promises. With his commanding win, the democratic socialist will etch his place in history as the city’s first Muslim mayor, the first of South Asian heritage and the first born in Africa. He will also become New York’s youngest mayor in more than a century when he takes office on Jan. 1. “The conventional wisdom would tell you that I am far from the perfect candidate. I am young, despite my best efforts to grow older. I am Muslim. I am a democratic socialist. And most damning of all, I refuse to apologize for any of this,” Mamdani declared to a roaring crowd at his victory party. He cast his win as a boon for blue-collar workers struggling to get by. “New York, tonight you have delivered a mandate for change,” he said, vowing to ”wake up each morning with a singular purpose: To make this city better for you than it was the day before.” He also addressed U.S. President Donald Trump head on. “New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants and as of tonight, led by an immigrant,” he said, adding that, “If anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him.” Trump appeared to acknowledge Mamdani’s challenges, posting ”…AND SO IT BEGINS!” on his Truth Social site. A commanding win More than 2 million New Yorkers cast ballots in the contest, the largest turnout in a mayoral race in more than 50 years, according to the city’s Board of Elections. With roughly 90 per cent of the votes counted, Mamdani held an approximately 9 percentage point lead over Cuomo. [...]

They do? WTF is wrong with you?

Seriously, what is wrong with this man and anyone who supports actions like this?

Don't hold your breath on that, Hell Toupee still says Paul Pelosi's attacker was his gay lover, despite a video of the guy breaking in and a confession to the police that he didn't know Pelosi, nor had ever met him.

Your "context" is that because some Muslims in the world commit horrible crimes, that means you can call all Muslims savages. Fun Fact: No gay person has been thrown off a building in the United States.

You don't know who wrote it or where it originated from even though you pass if off as a factual news article.

Link? Who is author and what site were these lies taken from?

Word is you are the biggest anti-Muslim bigot in this forum and have called them "savages" on more than one occassion.

CA State Senator, Scott Wiener: "No one could have possibly predicted that allowing federal agents to wear ski masks & not identify themselves would lead to lawlessness." https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-11-06/fbi-alerts-police-agencies-about-masked-criminals-posing-as-ice-recommends-they-show-id FBI urges ICE agents to identify themselves after string of impersonators commit crimes Ever since the Trump immigration raids began in Los Angeles in June, local leaders and community activists have criticized agents for sometimes making it difficult to identify them as federal law enforcement officials or refusing to identify themselves at all. Now, an unexpected new group has expressed its own concerns: the FBI. Citing a string of incidents in which masked criminals posing as immigration officers robbed and kidnapped victims, the FBI recently issued a memo suggesting agents clearly identify themselves while they’re in the field. The FBI explained its reasoning in a three-page document sent to police agencies across the country last month. In the memo, the FBI says that criminals impersonating law enforcement “damages trust” between them and the community and that law enforcement has an “opportunity” to better coordinate with their local, state and federal partners. It calls for informational campaigns to educate the public about impostors and for agents to show their identification when asked while out in the field. Undocumented immigrants and U.S. citizens have been detained by masked people on city streets, in hospitals, courthouses, and outside schools and places of worship over the last several months. California has banned the use of masks among law enforcement agencies, but on Tuesday a cadre of masked agents gathered in an offsite Dodger Stadium parking lot while carrying out more raids. [...]

https://ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/politics/2025/10/11/amid-criticism--mamdani-leans-into-gay-rights Amid criticism, Mamdani leans into LGBTQ rights Saturday was National Coming Out Day, a natural opportunity for Democratic candidate for mayor Zohran Mamdani to talk LGBTQ issues. He championed trans rights in a new campaign video -- “New York will not sit idly by while trans people are attacked," he tells the camera -- and at a "Gays for Zohran" rally in Greenwich Village. “We have to stand up for queer New Yorkers every single day," he told the crowd. But it was also a chance for Mamdani to push back on the controversy over photos he took in July alongside a top Ugandan official, Rebecca Kadaga, who has spearheaded draconian anti-gay legislation. “Had I known that she was the architect of this horrific legislation and attack on queer Ugandans, I would not have taken it," he told reporters Saturday.

Since when has the MAGA crowd ever cared about the facts or the truth?

It is Trump's decision to do this but he says that Democrats are to blame for the flight cancellations?

With Trump appearing to send the US economy over a cliff with his tariffs, it seems not a question of if, but when there will be a recession. In this thread we can discuss the events leading up to this and the consequences once it hits. Hope I am wrong on this but I kinda doubt it. https://x.com/kylegriffin1/status/1909984660974690757 JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon says on Fox Business the U.S. economy is likely headed for a recession as a result of Trump’s tariffs.

The MAGA crowd are cheering Trump directing the military to blow up a tiny Venezuelan boat that barely had enough cocaine for a bachelor party (if it had drugs at all) without any proof of guilt or a trial. So, civilians from other countries allegedly brining drugs to the US in international waters now merits the death penalty? https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/us-military-kills-11-people-strike-alleged-drug-boat-venezuela-trump-says-2025-09-03/ US military kills 11 people in strike on alleged drug boat from Venezuela, Trump says WASHINGTON, Sept 2 (Reuters) - The U.S. military killed 11 people on Tuesday in a strike on a vessel from Venezuela allegedly carrying illegal narcotics, President Donald Trump said, in the first known operation since his administration's recent deployment of warships to the southern Caribbean. "We just, over the last few minutes, literally shot out a boat, a drug-carrying boat, a lot of drugs in that boat," Trump told reporters at the White House. "And there's more where that came from. We have a lot of drugs pouring into our country, coming in for a long time ... These came out of Venezuela." He later shared a video on his Truth Social platform that appeared to show footage from overhead drones of a speedboat at sea exploding and then on fire. "The strike resulted in 11 terrorists killed in action. No U.S. Forces were harmed in this strike," Trump said. He added that the U.S. military had identified the crew as members of Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, which the U.S. designated a terrorist group in February. He repeated allegations that Tren de Aragua is being controlled by Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro, accusations that Caracas denies.

The first criminal trial of a former President begins today in New York with jury selection. Post any trial news, updates or your commentary on the proceedings in this thread. https://www.npr.org/2024/04/15/1238536885/trump-hush-money-trial Trump's criminal trial, a first for a former president, begins Monday For the first time in U.S. history, a former president will sit in a courtroom for the first day of his criminal trial. Former President Donald Trump faces 34-count felony counts alleging that he falsified New York business records in order to conceal damaging information to influence the 2016 presidential election. Monday kicks off an 18-person jury selection for the trial that is expected to last about six weeks — even as Trump campaigns to be president once again. The trial begins after a 20-day delay was granted by New York Judge Juan Merchan to give both legal teams time to review 31,000 records provided by the U.S. Attorney's Office. In recent weeks, Merchan also issued a gag order on Trump that specifically bars him from making, or directing others to make, public statements about witnesses, prosecutors or jurors. He later extended the order to cover the families after Trump went after the judge's daughter by name on the former president's social media site. [...] The district attorney hopes to make this case about 2016 election interference A grand jury indicted Trump in the spring of last year, marking the first time a former or sitting president faced criminal charges. Republicans quickly dismissed the indictment as an overreach of power by District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who had brought the charges. Trump has pleaded not guilty. At the center of the trial are 11 "hush money" payments to adult film actor Stormy Daniels who, at the time Trump was first running for president, threatened to go public with accusations she'd had an affair with him not long after he married Melania Trump. The lawsuit alleges that payments were made from Trump's flagship Trump Organization to Michael Cohen, then a vice president and counsel at the company. The payments were described by the Trump Organization falsely as "legal retainers"; they were, in fact, reimbursements to Cohen for paying Daniels. Cohen transferred that money to Daniels less than two weeks before the 2016 election. After Trump won, he reimbursed Cohen, including with his own personal checks. Trump has denied an affair with Daniels, but in 2018 he admitted reimbursing Cohen for money paid to her, arguing it had nothing to do with the campaign. The indictment also includes a separate $150,000 payment to another woman – the Playboy model Karen McDougal, who has spoken openly about her experience – who claimed to have had an intimate relationship with Trump. The fact of the payments and the false records isn't in dispute. What Bragg has to prove is that Trump made them in order to further other crimes, such as violating campaign finance law and mischaracterizing the payments for tax purposes.

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/trump-threatens-federal-takeover-of-dc-after-attack-on-former-doge-worker Trump threatens federal takeover of DC after attack on former DOGE worker WASHINGTON (AP) — Two 15-year-olds have been arrested in Washington in connection with the attempted carjacking and beating of one of the most prominent members of the Department of Government Efficiency, renewing calls from President Donald Trump for the federal government to seize control of the nation’s capital. The victim, Edward Coristine, nicknamed “Big Balls,” was among the most visible figures of Trump’s DOGE, which was tasked with slashing federal bureaucracy. Coristine was assaulted around 3 a.m. Sunday in the city’s Logan Circle neighborhood by a group of teenagers attempting to carjack him and a woman whom police identified as his significant other, according to authorities. The Metropolitan Police Department said the group approached the couple’s car and made a comment about taking it. Coristine pushed the woman into the vehicle for safety and turned to confront the group. At least several of the teens then attacked him, police said, until officers patrolling nearby intervened. As officers moved toward the group, the teens fled on foot. Two 15-year-olds from Maryland were arrested on charges of unarmed carjacking, police said. The attack gave new fuel to long-standing Republican efforts to challenge Washington’s autonomy, with Trump threatening to bypass local authority and impose direct federal control over the city. In a social media post and remarks at the White House on Tuesday, the president described crime in Washington as “out of control.” “If D.C. doesn’t get its act together, and quickly, we will have no choice but to take Federal control of the City, and run this City how it should be run, and put criminals on notice that they’re not going to get away with it anymore,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
