1+ hour, 2+ min ago (286+ words) That's a lot of kibble. Sen. Jim Justice (R-WV), whose pet English bulldog Babydog has been a DC darling since he took office in January, has agreed to pay more than $5 million to settle a tax debt dating to 2009.

There is nothing illegal about Nefesh B'Nefesh, the group that was meeting inside the synagogue. It assists immigration to Israel. It is a recognized nonprofit organization. It seems that, since Mamdani thinks Israel is illegitimate as a Jewish state, he therefore also believes furthering Jewish immigration is an illegal activity. His distain of Israel and Jews is open and obvious. The violent attack on the Park East Synagogue was just a prelude to what's to come when the openly antisemitic, anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian and pro-BDS Mamdani and his Democratic Party, led by far-left radicals, takes office. Mamdani doesn't seem to understand the central story of the…...
