Internal Docs Reveal Socialist Strategy for NYC

(Photo by Michael M. Santiago/Getty Images)

Internal documents from the Democratic Socialists of America’s Anti-War Working Group (AWWG) reveal the plans and efforts to carry out socialist demands in New York City.

The documents, obtained by Just the News, include a list of policy goals, including removing city funds from banks lending money to Israel, developing city-run grocery stores without Israeli products, end former Mayor Eric Adam’s NYC-Israel economic council, and other initiatives.

According to the document, the entity also hopes to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The document notes that newly elected Mayor Zohran Mamdani “may be out of reach for AWWG,” although it emphasizes that the organization plans to “[m]ake it clear to electeds that if they want our support, our priorities matter.” AWWG further plans to provide a plan for Mamdani and aims to “pressure him to staff with people whose values are aligned.”

Just the News added in its report that the DSA passed a resolution called, “For a Fighting Anti-Zionist DSA.” The resolution stressed that “Palestinian liberation is the moral compass of the socialist movement, representing a critical junction of popular consciousness.”

Ahead of the election, Elon Musk called Mamdani a “charismatic swindler.”

“Mamdani is a charismatic swindler,” he said. “I mean you gotta hand it to him, like, he can light up a stage, but he has just been a swindler his entire life.”

“If Mamdani’s policies are put into place, especially at scale, it would be a catastrophic decline in living standards, not just for the rich, but for everyone. As has been the case with every socialist experiment,” Musk added.

How God Deals with Evil

God’s justice requires judgment; His love provides escape. He offers grace but never forces it. When we reject divine mercy, He allows us to descend into the consequences of our rebellion. . .

Ivy League University Strikes Deal with Trump Admin

Cornell University struck a deal with the Trump administration to take back hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding. The university will invest $30 million over three years in agricultural research, as well as pay $30 million over three years directly to the government.

“Cornell has not been found in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in any of the investigations or compliance reviews of the university’s programs pending at the Department of Justice, Department of Education, or Department of Health and Human Services, and the government has agreed to close all of these investigations and reviews,” Cornell University President Michael Kotlikoff said in a statement on the agreement. “The government has further agreed to restore terminated federal grants, release all withheld funds for active grants, and consider Cornell fully eligible for new grants and funding awards, without disadvantage or preference.”

Education Secretary Linda McMahon celebrated the agreement, saying it signals the end of “divisive DEI policies.”

“Thanks to this deal with Cornell and the ongoing work of DOJ, HHS, and the team at ED, U.S. universities are refocusing their attention on merit, rigor, and truth-seeking – not ideology,” she wrote on X. “These reforms are a huge win in the fight to restore excellence to American higher education and make our schools the greatest in the world.”

Cornell’s agreement with the Trump administration demands that it conduct annual surveys addressing the campus climate for students, “including the climate for students with shared Jewish ancestry.” The university will also “comply with all foreign gift and contract reporting obligations.”

How an UNRWA Hamas Report Exposed the UN’s Double Standard

A confidential review of an UNRWA Hamas report reveals the United Nations dismissed Israeli intelligence—including intercepted calls and cell phone data—linking U.N. employees to Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel. The investigation by the U.N. Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) concluded that evidence was “likely authentic” but deemed it “insufficient” to justify firing 10 of 19 identified staffers.

Among those cleared were an alleged “Hamas platoon commander” and another “Hamas operative,” both identified through Israeli intelligence. One U.N. employee was accused of aiding his son in infiltrating Israel and kidnapping an Israeli woman, but investigators brushed it off, describing the conversation as that of “a parent outraged by his errant son’s conduct.”

A senior congressional aide told the Free Beacon the United Nations “went in with a certain outlook and plan of how they wanted this to turn out” and “dismissed all the Israeli intelligence, the phone tracking and data.”

The report further undermined Israel’s evidence by rejecting SMS messages and intercepted communications showing an UNRWA staffer had received orders to bring “two anti-tank missiles” to a meeting point. The U.N. said the staffer “denied involvement” and found “no other information” confirming Israel’s claims.

A senior U.S. official said the UN’s failure to act proved it was “unable to investigate itself properly,” adding that “the IG’s investigation will protect American taxpayer dollars from funding the salaries of Hamas terrorists shape-shifting as aid workers.”

The findings suggest UNRWA could still employ individuals tied to Hamas, even as it prepares to resume aid operations in Gaza—fueling concerns that the U.N.’s own bureaucracy is shielding terrorism under the guise of humanitarianism.

100-Year-Old Veteran Condemns Modern Britain

Former Navy serviceman Alec Penstone, a 100-year-old World War II veteran, criticized modern-day Britain, solemnly declaring that the “sacrifice wasn’t worth the result that [the country] is now.”

In an appearance on Good Morning Britain, Penstone discussed Remembrance Sunday, a day to honor the military and its sacrifices.

“What does Remembrance Sunday mean for you? What is your message?” host Kate Garraway asked.

“My message is, I can see in my mind’s eye the rows and rows of white stones of all the hundreds of my friends and everybody else that gave their lives for what?” Penstone responded. “The country of today. No, I’m sorry, the sacrifice wasn’t worth the result that it is now.”

Host Adil Ray probed the veteran, asking, “What do you mean by that, though?”

Penstone explained that servicemen fought for Britain’s freedom, noting that “even now it’s downright worse than when I fought for it.”

Garraway added that “all the generations that have come since, including me and my children, are so grateful for your bravery and all that for service personnel,” asserting that “it’s our job now, isn’t it, to make it the country that you fought for — you absolutely fought for.”

The United Kingdom’s first female Muslim Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, took office in September. During her first day in office, more than 1,000 illegal immigrants arrived after crossing the English Channel, reports indicate.

Amid reports of grooming gangs in the UK, a government analysis found that there is a “lack of a full picture” in data sets, although available data indicates “disproportionate numbers of men from Asian ethnic backgrounds amongst suspects for group-based child sexual exploitation, as well as in the significant number of perpetrators of Asian ethnicity identified in local reviews and high-profile child sexual exploitation prosecutions across the country, to at least warrant further examination.”

A “significant number” of the ongoing police operations into exploitation cases “involve suspects who are non-UK nationals and/or who are claiming asylum in the UK,” the analysis adds.

Mamdani’s Win Delivered by NYC Elites, Not ‘Trinidadian line cooks and Ethiopian aunties.’

Despite his claims of grassroots support, new data reveal that the Zohran Mamdani election was carried not by working-class New Yorkers, but by the city’s educated elite. The democratic socialist’s victory speech painted a picture of immigrant and blue-collar solidarity—but exit polls tell a different story.

“Thank you to those so often forgotten by the politics of our city who made this movement their own,” Mamdani said Tuesday night. “I speak of Yemeni bodega owners and Mexican abuelas, Senegalese taxi drivers and Uzbek nurses, Trinidadian line cooks and Ethiopian aunties.”

Yet according to exit polls, voters without college degrees overwhelmingly backed former governor Andrew Cuomo. Cuomo won 48 percent of voters without a high school diploma, compared to Mamdani’s 40 percent. Among voters with only a high school diploma, Cuomo led 46 percent to 40 percent, and he also edged Mamdani 47 percent to 41 percent among those with “some college.”

Mamdani’s path to victory ran instead through the city’s highly educated class—he won 57 percent of voters with at least a bachelor’s degree, while Cuomo drew just 38 percent.

Though Mamdani built his campaign on attacks against the wealthy, he celebrated his win alongside some of New York’s richest progressives. Alex Soros, son of billionaire activist George Soros, shared a photo with Mamdani on Instagram, writing, “So proud to be a New Yorker! The American dream continues!”

The Soros network reportedly poured tens of millions of dollars into groups supporting Mamdani’s campaign, further underscoring how the Zohran Mamdani election depended more on elite money and Ivy League neighborhoods than on working-class New Yorkers.

Border Failure Sparks Unprecedented Patriot Surge to Join USCIS

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that it has received a historic number of applications since its September 30 campaign launch.

USCIS has received more than 35,000 applications for positions within the agency, a move officials say reflects the desire for Americans to “restore integrity to the nation’s immigration system after four years of Biden’s border chaos.” The agency explained that it has cut bureaucratic tape to place patriots on the “front lines and hold the line against terrorists, criminal aliens, and bad actors intent on infiltrating our nation.”

“The Homeland Defender Campaign has already been a tremendous success and has resonated with the American people. I’m pleased to announce that in addition to seeing a historic number of applications, we are starting to bring on applicants at a rapid pace,” said USCIS Director Joseph Edlow. “USCIS is not wasting time; we are committed to implementing President Trump’s priorities. These candidates are not just applying for a job—they are applying to guard our values and defend our homeland. I look forward to onboarding many more Homeland Defenders in the coming weeks.”

Meanwhile, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told Fox News that more than 200,000 Americans have applied to be ICE agents. As of August, more than 100,000 Americans had applied to be an agent.

“Our country is calling you to serve at ICE. In the wake of the Biden administration’s failed immigration policies, your country needs dedicated men and women of ICE to get the worst of the worst criminals out of our country,” Secretary Kristi Noem said in a statement at the time. “This is a defining moment in our nation’s history. Your skills, your experience, and your courage have never been more essential. Together, we must defend the homeland.”

Princeton’s New Gaza Course Sparks Outrage Over Genocide Comparison

Princeton University is under fire for launching a controversial new anthropology class, that equates Israel’s war against Hamas with the Holocaust. The course, titled Gender, Reproduction, and Genocide,” is taught by a “noted Palestinian feminist” who has denied Hamas atrocities and called for the destruction of the Jewish state.

“Drawing on decolonial, Indigenous, and feminist thought, we examine how genocidal projects target reproductive life, sexual and familial structures, and community survival,” the course description reads. It adds that students will “situate Gaza within comparative histories of the Armenian genocide, the Holocaust, and genocide against Black and Indigenous populations.”

The instructor, Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian, “retired” from her position at Hebrew University after being suspended and detained for incitement over her comments denying Hamas’s Oct. 7 atrocities. “It’s time to abolish Zionism,” she said. “They started with babies, they continued with rape, and they will continue with a million other lies.”

Despite her remarks, Princeton appointed Shalhoub-Kevorkian as a Global South Visiting Scholar and later as the Stanley Kelley, Jr., Visiting Professor for Distinguished Teaching.

Among the required readings is “Reprocide in Gaza: The Gendered Strategy of Genocide Through Reproductive Violence,” which claims “Israel has weaponized reproductive health through direct military targeting, siege conditions, forced displacement, environmental toxicity, and gendered violence.”

Princeton’s silence has raised concerns about the growing influence of anti-Israel rhetoric in elite academia. The Trump administration previously suspended roughly $200 million in Princeton’s federal grants, half of which have since been restored — but the course could draw renewed scrutiny.

The Washington Post Critica Duramente a Elizabeth Warren por Culpar a Trump del Apagón de la NFL

La Senadora Elizabeth Warren enfrentó críticas del Washington Post después de intentar culpar al Presidente Donald Trump por el reciente apagón de “Monday Night Football” en YouTube TV. La disputa entre Warren y Trump comenzó cuando la senadora afirmó que el apagón reflejaba la codicia corporativa que se ha permitido florecer bajo el liderazgo de Trump.

“No podrás ver ‘Monday Night Football’ esta noche. ¿Por qué? Cuando las empresas se vuelven demasiado grandes, tienen el poder de cortar tus canales favoritos. Eso es lo que está ocurriendo aquí. ¿Y qué ha hecho Trump al respecto? Los ha dejado salirse con la suya”, escribió Warren en X.

Sin embargo, el consejo editorial del Washington Post la reprendió, publicando una columna titulada “Elizabeth Warren lo sabe mejor”. Los editores escribieron: “Eso no es, de hecho, lo que está ocurriendo aquí”. El apagón siguió a una disputa contractual entre Disney y YouTube TV, después de que ambas compañías no lograran llegar a un acuerdo sobre las tarifas de distribución. Los canales de Disney —incluidos ESPN, ABC y FX— fueron eliminados cuando las negociaciones se rompieron a fines de octubre.

“YouTube TV intenta mantener bajos los costos para sus clientes, mientras que Disney busca obtener el máximo valor por sus productos”, señaló el editorial. “Los compradores quieren precios más bajos y los vendedores quieren precios más altos. Así es la vida.” El Post argumentó además que Warren estaba efectivamente poniéndose del lado de los precios más altos de Disney, preguntando: “¿Por qué debería el presidente o una senadora intervenir del lado de Disney, que es el lado de precios más altos para los consumidores?”

El editorial concluyó que la disputa entre Disney y Google debía dejarse al sector privado. En una última crítica, escribió: “Warren, exprofesora de la Facultad de Derecho de Harvard que ganó mucho dinero asesorando a corporaciones antes de reinventarse como una populista con antorcha, sabe todo esto.”

El Representante Republicano Presenta un Proyecto de Ley para Retirar Fondos al Alcalde Comunista

El Representante Buddy Carter (R-GA) Planea Presentar un Proyecto de Ley Destinado a Bloquear los Fondos Federales para la Ciudad de Nueva York Mientras el Socialista Demócrata Zohran Mamdani Sea Alcalde.

El Proyecto de Ley, Llamado Moving American Money Distant from Anti-National Interests Act o la “Ley MAMDANI”, Establece Que “No Obstante Cualquier Otra Disposición Legal, Durante Cualquier Período en el Cual Zohran Mamdani Sea Alcalde de Nueva York, Nueva York”, “Todos los Fondos Federales No Comprometidos Disponibles” para la Ciudad “Quedan Rescindidos.” Agrega Además Que “Ningún Fondo Federal Podrá Ser Comprometido o Gastado para Ningún Propósito en Nueva York, Nueva York.”

Carter Dijo a Fox News: “Si los Neoyorquinos Quieren Comunismo, Deberíamos Dejarles Tener Su Deseo y No Sostenerlos Artificialmente con Nuestro Exitoso Sistema Capitalista.” Explicó Que “Cualquier Neoyorquino con Sentido Común Es Bienvenido a Mudarse al Gran y LIBRE Estado de Georgia.”

Antes de las Elecciones Municipales de Nueva York, el Presidente Trump Amenazó con Retirar la Financiación si Mamdani Ganaba la Victoria.

“Si el Candidato Comunista Zohran Mamdani Gana la Elección para Alcalde de la Ciudad de Nueva York, Es Muy Poco Probable Que Contribuya con Fondos Federales, Más Allá del Mínimo Requerido, a Mi Querido Primer Hogar, Debido al Hecho de Que, Siendo Comunista, Esta Ciudad Una Vez Grandiosa No Tiene NINGUNA Posibilidad de Éxito o Incluso de Supervivencia,” Escribió Trump. “Solo Puede Empeorar con un Comunista al Mando, y No Quiero Enviar, Como Presidente, Buen Dinero Tras el Malo.”

El Éxito Electoral de Mamdani Marcó un Momento Histórico, Ya Que Se Convirtió en el Primer Alcalde Musulmán de la Ciudad de Nueva York y el Primer Candidato Respaldado por los Socialistas Demócratas de América en Obtener el Cargo.
