Communist New York City Mayor is getting destroyed in the comments online after his disgusting statements following the most recent ICE shooting of an illegal alien.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, protests erupted in the Bronx on Thursday evening after an ICE agent shot and wounded an illegal migrant from the Dominican Republic in Marble Hill.

The illegal migrant was later identified by the NYPD as 28-year-old Oscar Bengal. He was shot in the neck and later taken to the hospital.

Per ICE, Bengal has a prior criminal conviction for grand larceny, and multiple prior arrests for assault, robbery, possession of drugs, and weapons possession.

He also has associations with the Trinitarios gang, the same gang that killed a CBP officer last year.

In an X post, Mamdani said he was “angry” before going on to prevaricate about the incident, having initially announced it on social media.

This included calling the illegal alien a “New Yorker.” Mamdani also reiterated his call to abolish ICE.

He included a video containing part of his speech to the protesters of the shooting.

“The pretext of ICE is to keep this country safe. How is it keeping anyone safe to have individuals wearing construction vests and masks and long guns when residents have no idea whether these are law enforcement agents or if they are simply attacking someone on the streets?” Mamdani whined.

“And when it comes to ICE: what’s the difference?”

WATCH:

Americans immediately responded by calling Mamdani a “traitor” and for outright ignoring the illegal alien’s extremely violent background.

AOC Lashes Out at Target Over Bronx ICE Shooting, Despite Being a Half Mile from Where it Happened

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is demanding a “full and independent investigation” of an ICE shooting in the Bronx, and she is blaming Target for letting federal agents use a parking lot, even as the Department of Homeland Security says the man who was shot is a criminal illegal immigrant with gang ties.

The shooting took place at approximately 4:20 p.m. Thursday.

Agents were trying to arrest 28-year-old Oscar Belgal, a Dominican national the NYPD identified and DHS described as tied to the Trinitarios gang. He was shot in his vehicle.

A 5-year-old boy, believed to be his son, was in the back seat and was not hurt.

Belgal was taken to a nearby hospital and is expected to survive.

DHS said Belgal has a conviction for grand larceny and prior arrests for assault, robbery, drug possession, and weapons possession.

Sources told the New York Post that agents were also looking at whether he is tied to the migrant moped crew that shot an off-duty Border Patrol agent at Fort Washington Park last year.

Naturally, AOC sided with the violent criminal in a statement posted to X.

“ICE’s already unwelcome presence in our city has been growing more escalatory and dangerous by the day. Today’s shooting is a grave development that requires a swift and immediate response to protect the safety of all New Yorkers,” she said.

The congresswoman called first for “a full and independent investigation of this incident,” then for “a full and immediate release of all body camera footage.”

She also blamed Target rather than the criminal.

“In addition, the Target Corporation must stop offering its Bronx properties as private staging sites for ICE, in compliance with requests from New York officials,” she said.

“Target opening up large, active retail parking lots for paramilitary activity is unacceptable and places the entire community at risk.”

The Target store is about half a mile from where the shooting took place.

A representative for the retail giant told the New York Post, “Target has no cooperative agreements with ICE or any other immigration enforcement agency.”

Ocasio-Cortez concluded by calling ICE “a rogue, lawless paramilitary and surveillance agency” that “does not belong in New York City and it should not exist in the United States of America. Abolish ICE.”

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani also sided with the criminal.

Mamdani said he tried to reach President Trump to demand an end to ICE enforcement in the city and that he tried to negotiate Belgal’s release.

“This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities,” Mamdani said.

About 300 protesters gathered outside the hospital, and many clashed with police.

For a year now, the experts have insisted that record-high markets mean everything in America is fine.

Jim Rickards — a former advisor to four U.S. Presidents, the CIA, and the Pentagon — says they couldn’t possibly be more wrong.

President Trump, he believes, is preparing to deliberately shake the financial system to its foundations before the November elections.

That may sound extreme. But Rickards has been laughed at before. He predicted Trump’s 2016 victory on live television, when every poll in America said it was impossible.

This time, he says, the winners and losers will be decided before most people even know the game has started.

Unprepared investors could lose half their money or more. While those who see it coming have the chance to land on the right side of history.

WAIT, WHAT? Harvard Quietly Preparing to Spend Millions on Increasing AI Computing Ability as Leftists Claim AI Must be Stopped for Our Safety

For months now, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and countless other leftists have been running around the country, telling anyone who will listen that AI (artificial intelligence) will kill us all if it isn’t stopped now.

AND YET…

Harvard is quietly preparing to spend millions of dollars to increase their AI computing ability.

So which is it?

This news is coming from the Harvard student newspaper the Harvard Crimson:

Harvard Weighs $25 Million Investment to Double University-Wide AI Computing Capacity

Harvard is considering putting roughly $25 million from a new centrally administered fund toward computing infrastructure to significantly boost the University’s computing capacity, according to two people familiar with the planning.

The money is penciled in to purchase a cluster of GPUs roughly the same size as the existing cluster at the Kempner Institute for the Study of Natural and Artificial Intelligence, according to Bernardo L. Sabatini ’91, who co-directs the institute. Sabatini estimated the investment could roughly double the University’s AI computing capacity.

While the Kempner cluster — roughly 1,100 GPUs — prioritizes access for its own affiliates through a tiered system, the new GPUs would be “a University resource for all,” Sabatini wrote. Decisions about which GPUs to purchase and how they are used would be made centrally rather than by Kempner, he added.

A second person, granted anonymity to discuss plans that are not public, confirmed a similar figure had been discussed. Both Sabatini and the person said the number was not finalized but had circulated in recent talks about how the University plans to allocate a recently announced $50 million investment in cutting-edge scientific research.

A University spokesperson declined to comment on the size or scope of the computing investment. The spokesperson referred The Crimson to a Sept. 28 announcement in the Harvard Gazette that said the money would support servers, computational capacity, cloud computing, and leading AI models.

If this is true, why isn’t Bernie Sanders leading a protest in front of Harvard University right now?

Where are all of the other leftists who have been saying that AI must be stopped and regulated?

Why is Harvard getting a pass? As if we didn’t know.

OUTRAGEOUS! Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes Issues ARREST WARRANT for Eduardo Bolsonaro as His Brother Emerges as Favorite to Become Brazil’s Next President

Credit: (Marcelo Camargo/Agência Brasil)

Brazil’s Supreme Court tyrant Alexandre de Moraes, the justice critics have long called Alexandre de Voldemort, has ordered the arrest of Eduardo Bolsonaro, the son of imprisoned former President Jair Bolsonaro and the brother of Flávio Bolsonaro, the frontrunner to send socialist Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva packing on October 25.

Eduardo’s brother, Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, has emerged as the frontrunner to become Brazil’s next president after defeating incumbent socialist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in the first round of voting. Moraes did not wait for the runoff.

Moraes ordered Eduardo to begin serving a four-year, two-month sentence immediately, directed federal police to arrest him if he sets foot in Brazil, canceled his Brazilian passports, and suspended his political rights for the length of the sentence, according to Reuters.

The conviction became final on October 3 after appeals were rejected. Eduardo has lived in the United States, including Texas, since 2025.

His “crime,” according to the court’s First Panel, was speaking to the Trump administration about the weaponization of Brazil’s justice system against his father.

“Eduardo Bolsonaro” by Gage Skidmore, CC BY-SA 2.0

In June the panel, Moraes, Lula ally Cristiano Zanin, Cármen Lúcia, and Flávio Dino, convicted Eduardo unanimously of “coercion in the course of proceedings.” Prosecutors said he lobbied Washington for tariffs on Brazilian goods, Magnitsky sanctions, and visa revocations aimed at STF ministers, in an effort to pressure the court during Jair Bolsonaro’s trial.

The sentence starts in a semi-open regime, carries a fine, strips him of a Federal Police clerk post, and bars him from office for eight years after the term.

Moraes, who also ran the case against the father, wrote that Eduardo “cannot benefit from his own wrongdoing by fleeing the national territory” to thwart the sentence.

The same justice was sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury under the Magnitsky Act in July 2025 for arbitrary detentions and the suppression of speech. The Gateway Pundit reported when Treasury then hit Moraes’ wife and his Lex Institute, and when aides lost their U.S. visas.

Eduardo called the new order what it is. In a statement Thursday he said that even after voters delivered a clear “enough,” Moraes was again throwing the country into turmoil with a decision that is “arbitrary, ill-timed and ineffectual,” because the United States “has already made clear it does not comply with delirious decisions of this nature.”

He said the only practical effect, timed in the middle of an election, is to inflame the country, and that on October 25 Brazilians will elect Flávio Bolsonaro and, with a new Congress, “restore normalcy.”

The American Conservative’s AI Writing Policy

The American Conservative’s AI Writing Policy

TAC is committed to preserving the trust it has built up with its readership over a quarter-century.

Scott McConnell, Pat Buchanan, and Taki Theodoracopulos at the launch of The American Conservative in 2002.

IBM had a famous dictum in its 1979 training manual: “A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision.” 

As far corporate training-manual maxims go, we think that’s a pretty good one, and generalizable to our own work. Journalism is useful insofar as it is trustworthy, and it is trustworthy only insofar as a person or set of persons are responsible for getting facts and analysis right. Failure must come at the risk of public shame and, in extremity, professional jeopardy. 

The only way a journalist can be held responsible for the entirety of an article is for him to write the entire thing, including the background material that nonprofessionals may think is mere window-dressing for the central reporting or argument. Any reporter can regale you with war-stories in which perfunctory fact-finding for context or kickers brought new detail or insight to light, radically changing the entire premises, emphases, or framing of the article. 

Journalistic writing is the artifact of the writer’s critical engagement with fact; if you are not engaging with the facts critically as you put words onto the page, you are not doing journalism. Putting your name on an article is an assertion that you have actually thought through what you have written, and will stand by it.

For this reason, The American Conservative does not accept stories containing AI-generated prose. While AI has opened exciting vistas of technical progress, including for the research and data-processing that go into journalism, it is not an appropriate tool for the replacement of human judgment, which is what bylined writing represents. A computer can never be held accountable. No matter how proficient AI tools become at generating aesthetically acceptable prose, they cannot supply authority and responsibility.

TAC’s editors and writers are not infallible, but we’d like to think that over nearly a quarter-century they’ve amassed a pretty good track record, and have earned a reputation for independence and honesty. We do not present you, our readers, with articles we have not thought through ourselves and we are not willing to stand behind. To maintain this standard of responsibility, our editors check every submission not only using their own judgment but also the best available tools for AI detection. We will not publish those we believe to be generated by AI.

We believe the American public is with us on this issue. Ninety-four percent of those surveyed by Pew Research think it is important for them to know whether a given piece of media is generated by AI. Just 10 percent believe that AI use will have a positive effect on journalism. Fifty-six percent say they are less confident in an article composed using AI. These are not ambiguous numbers. Americans understand that journalism is ultimately a matter of trust, and trust is a matter of human responsibility.

We here at TAC value your trust more than anything; it is the fundamental currency of our work. If you think our project is worthwhile, please consider making a tax-deductible donation. As always, we are deeply grateful for your support and your loyalty, which are remarkable.

WAYNE ROOT: I TOLD YOU SO: I’ve Warned for 20 Years Obama is a Communist Muslim “Manchurian Candidate” Who Hates America. Now He’s Campaigning for a Communist Muslim Who Supports Sharia Law for Life. What Does That Make Obama?

By Wayne Allyn Root

 

It’s ironic that President Trump announced today that he doesn’t want former President Obama prosecuted. That’s the biggest mistake of President Trump’s presidency.

Because it’s now 100% clear who and what Obama is. No one can any longer debate what I’m about to say…

 

Obama is an unAmerican, communist, radical Muslim.

 

How can I prove that? Well, who you support, endorse, and campaign for certainly defines who you are.

If I campaigned for KKK, racist, white supremacist, neo-Nazi David Duke, wouldn’t the liberal mainstream media call me “a racist white supremacist KKK Nazi?”

Of course they would.

Well guess who just announced he’s campaigning for an unAmerican, communist, radical Muslim who supports Sharia Law?

Obama.

Obama just announced he will be on stage in Michigan on October 24th, campaigning for and openly endorsing Democrat US Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed.

Abdul El-Sayed is a communist, radical Muslim, who once said he will support Sharia Law for life.

So, what does that make Obama? 

 

 

Is it a fact that Abdul El-Sayed said he supports Sharia Law for life?

 

Here is the quote from the New York Times, as reported by “The Washington Free Beacon”…

 

Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed once declared his sacred “obligation” to follow Sharia law in every aspect of his life until he meets his maker on the day he dies, according to unearthed comments he made to the New York Times in 2009 as a young man buying his first home.

 

But don’t listen to me. I’m biased. I strongly believe Islam is a death sentence for Western Civilization. I strongly believe Islam is incompatible with America and the US Constitution. 

 

Sharia Law can NEVER be allowed in America.

 

But don’t take my word for it- just ask Google. Google is as far left biased as it gets. Yet even Google admits that Sharia Law is extreme, poisonous and most importantly, DEADLY.

 

Here is what Google says about, “the dark side of Sharia Law”…

 

Restrictions on Freedom of Religion and Speech

  • Apostasy laws: Leaving Islam or converting to another religion is treated as a crime and, in some fundamentalist nations, is punishable by death.
  • Blasphemy laws: Criticizing Islam, the Prophet Muhammad, or the Quran can lead to severe prison sentences or execution.
  • Non-Muslim status: Under strict historical or fundamentalist frameworks, non-Muslims are classified as dhimmis (protected people), which can limit their rights to build houses of worship, proselytize, or hold certain public offices.
  • Persecution of LGBTQ+ People:
  • Harsh penalties: Fundamentalist state interpretations penalize homosexuality with imprisonment, corporal punishment, or death. 

And of course, Sharia Law treats women as second-class citizens, with no rights or freedom.

But again, don’t take my word for it. Listen to people who have lived it.

In his book “Heretic,” former Muslim Ayaan Hirsi Ali explains the horror of sharia for women:

Repeatedly, women are considered under the code to be worth at most “half a man.” Sharia subordinates women to men in a multitude of ways: the requirement of guardianship by men, the right of men to beat their wives, the right of men to have unfettered sexual access to their wives, the right of men to practice polygamy, and the restriction of women’s legal rights in divorce cases, in estate law, in cases of rape, in court testimony, and in consent to marriage.5

Or listen to the testimony of Egyptian-born Nonie Darwish, author of the book “Cruel and Usual Punishment.” Here she explains what it was like to grow up in Egypt under Sharia law:

 

 “For the first thirty years of my life, I lived as a virtual slave…a second-class citizen who had to watch what I said even to my close friends. Under Islamic law I had to live in a gender-segregated environment and always be aware that the legal and social penalty for ‘sin’ could end my life…treating all aspects of human relations as governable by Allah’s law. (Sharia law) allows a woman seen without a headdress to be flogged, punishes rape victims, and calls for beheading for adultery. I never questioned or challenged it — or dared to even think about its validity.”

Folks, this is what a Democrat US Senate candidate El-Sayed believes in, for every aspect of life, until the day he dies.

And Obama supports him, endorses him and campaigns for him.

Obama is no longer hiding who he is. It’s all out in the open. I’ll say it again- it’s now 100% fact and beyond debate…

Obama is now, and always has been, an unAmerican, communist, radical Muslim “Manchurian Candidate” who supports Sharia Law.

I told you so. 

I’ve been right for almost 20 years (since 2007). Now it’s all out in the open.

 

Obama tried to destroy this country. Obama tried to destroy capitalism. Obama tried to destroy you, President Trump. He ordered the spying on you and your campaign. He ordered the “Russian Collusion” conspiracy to take down your presidency. He coordinated the 2020 stolen election to throw you out of office. He ordered your persecution- Obama wanted you to die in prison.

Obama is the one who invented “open borders” to flood this country with illegal alien foreign invaders- and then got them registered to vote Democrat to rig and steal all future elections.

Obama destroyed the US healthcare system and bankrupted middle-class America with the fraud and lies of Obamacare.

Obama flooded this nation with Muslim migrants who hate America and everything it stands for- like Ilhan Omar and Zohran Mamdani.

Obama’s fingerprints are all over the hatred for Israel and Jews in America for the first time in history.

The curses of antifa, BLM, Arab Spring and ISIS all formed since Obama.

And now Obama and his radical Muslim buddies want to make America into a Sharia Law-compliant nation. All roads lead to Obama.

This man is a curse upon our nation. 

 

President Trump is the greatest President of my lifetime, and one of the greatest in U.S. history. He saved America (at least temporarily) from a communist and radical Islamic takeover.

 

I will ALWAYS stand with President Trump.

He is superhuman. He achieves more in a week than any other president in eight years- including my hero, Ronald Reagan.

But superhuman still means he’s human. And everyone makes mistakes.

President Trump, you’re making the biggest mistake of your presidency. If ever there was anyone who must be prosecuted for his criminal actions; for trying to destroy America and everything we hold dear; for being a traitor to America…

It’s Barack Hussein Obama.

UK Labor Party Holds Keir Starmer’s old Seat — But Questions Remain about its new Somalian MP

The Labor Party has kept the Holborn and St Pancras seat in north London, but the by-election, meant to be a celebration for Prime Minister Andy Burnham, ended up serving as a warning. Sagal Abdi-Wali, leader of Camden Council, won with 12,292 votes, or 45 percent, compared with Zack Polanski, the Green leader, who received 8,928 — a majority of 3,364. This is a sharp drop from Keir Starmer’s 11,57 majority in 2024, with a 13 percent swing to the Greens.
The rest of the field barely registered. The Conservatives took seven per cent, Reform six, the Liberal Democrats three and a half — failing to keep their deposit — and Restore Britain two and a half. The Tories edged Reform, though Restore appears to have split the right-wing vote. Turnout was 39 percent, the lowest by-election of this parliament, and well below the 54 percent here in 2024.
Starmer resigned the seat in September, weeks after being ousted as prime minister — a reversal of his earlier pledge to stay until 2029. It was Andy Burnham’s first major electoral test, and a relief for him.
The Green surge was real, but not enough. Polanski’s vote share rose 22 points in 2024, from about 10 percent to 33. He still lost. After the declaration, he congratulated Abdi-Wali and wrote: “I’m proud of the campaign we fought. To go from 10% to 33% of the vote share during the PM’s ‘bounce’ is good — but our ambitions are far higher.” He told Sky it had not been a mistake to stand: “I think it’s been an opportunity to present the Green Party values, to talk about rent controls, tackling the climate crisis, nationalizing Thames Water.” He told reporters he would “of course” carry on as leader.
Just days before voting took place, members of the Green Party had passed a resolution stating that Zionism was a form of racism, the vote being 1,022 to 813. Four of the five Green MPs voted against the resolution. Caroline Lucas called it dangerous and divisive and said Polanski had failed to show leadership. When questioned on Newsnight about whether he should step down, she replied: “I think we shall just have to wait and see what happens in the coming days and weeks.” Israel has banned him from entering the country. When asked on the BBC’s Newsnight whether he should stand down, she said: “I think we shall just have to wait and see what happens in the coming days and weeks.” Israel has banned him from entering the country.
Following the count, Polanski told the media that he had grown up in a Zionist home with the belief that the area was “a land without a people and people without a land”. He added that he no longer held that view and that “what we are seeing is an ongoing genocide and the displacement of the Palestinian people. I believe that is clearly racist.” Activists from Labour and the Liberal Democrats told The Independent that the motion had cost the Greens support in the last days.
Now the new MP. Abdi-Wali, 42, was born in Somalia and arrived as a child refugee in the early 1990s, fleeing the civil war. The Independent reports she was six; other accounts say seven. Her mother, a trained lawyer, fled with her and her four brothers; her father joined later. The family settled in Gospel Oak, where she has lived for about thirty-five years. She joined the Labor Party in 2015, became a local councilor in 2022, and in May became Camden’s first Black woman council leader. She is a British citizen, listed as such on Companies House since at least 2017. Reuters and Full Fact have both described the “asylum seeker” and “illegal immigrant” claims as misleading. Yet we do not know if she arrived in the UK legally or illegally. The public has a right to know how their MP arrived in this country. She is the first Somalian / “British” person to be elected as an MP. She is the 25th Muslim member of the House of Commons and part of a growing number of non-English MPs
In her victory speech, she hoped people who looked like her would see themselves reflected in the area and realize their own path also belonged here; she added, ‘This is Camden, and this is Britain’. Polanski welcomed the part where she said Camden’s diversity was a strength and that its cohesion ‘was too hard won to take for granted’.
But no journalist has asked her in any published interview: how exactly did she arrive? Did she travel on a passport — her own, or a parent’s? Did she have a visa? Which airline did she fly on, and how did she board without documents? Did she claim asylum on arrival, and how long did that process take? These are reasonable questions about a newly elected MP, and they remain unanswered. Her personal immigration file is exempt from FOI, so the only way to get answers is for her to tell us. Did she arrive in the UK legally or illegally?
She has described her arrival only in general terms — “a child refugee, fleeing war-torn Somalia” — and has never been pressed on the specifics. That gap in the record needs to be answered, as a newly elected MP, should be able to do.

Iran War Day 224: Trump Says U.S. Won’t Attack Iran Before Midterms

President Trump said Thursday that the U.S. would not attack Iran before November’s midterm elections. In a post on Truth Social, the president wrote that “while Iran is in very bad condition, both Economically and Militarily, and while the Blockade will remain in full force and effect… we will not be attacking Iran at any time prior to the Midterm Elections.” In the same post, he also said that “productive discussions” were underway with Tehran. The statement comes following media reports earlier in the week that Trump was looking to restart combat operations imminently.

Also on Thursday, two Houthi missile attacks killed three people in the Saudi capital of Riyadh. The strikes targeted Riyadh’s international airport, and according to Saudi officials hit both the airport building itself and an aircraft belonging to state carrier Saudia. Thursday’s strikes follow similar attacks on Saudi airports conducted on October 6 and 7.

Oil prices eased slightly on Friday, with Brent crude trading at around $103 per barrel. According to AAA, the average price of regular gasoline in the United States is $4.37 per gallon.

Watch the Hosts of ‘The View’ Openly Campaign for Texas Democrat James Talarico on the Air (VIDEO)

Screenshot: The View

This week, Ana Navarro, Whoopi Goldberg, and the rest of the crew on ‘The View’ openly campaigned for far left Texas Democrat James Talarico on the air, in what seems to be a clear violation of FCC rules.

This has been happening a lot lately. Less than two weeks ago, Ana Navarro openly campaigned for a Democrat running for a House seat in Florida.

Trump’s FCC has been looking into these claims. It couldn’t be more obvious, could it?

The hosts are openly cheerleading for the Democrats to win.

Transcript via NewsBusters:

SUNNY HOSTIN: I think we will. I think we will see Texas go blue, actually.

I really do.

In September not only one but eight pollsters had Talarico ahead. 51 to 45 percent. That’s significant given a Democrat hasn’t won statewide office in 30 years. That same poll showed that he is leading Paxton among women, 56 percent to 40 percent. Among voters, 18 to 29, 66 percent to 22 percent. And among Hispanics 62 percent to 30 percent. We are talking about Texas. He is going to win this race.

GOLDBERG: We’ll see. We’ll see.

GOLDBERG: Remember. As – I’m sorry. As you guys pointed out the other day, we’ve seen this before. We have seen – I and suddenly some weird number comes out. And you’re going, ‘wait, what happened?’ So, fingers crossed.

ANA NAVARRO: You’re not kidding. 2016 left me scarred.

GOLDBERG: I know.

NAVARRO: We – Everyone was waiting for there to be fireworks.

HOSTIN: I have hope in Texas.

NAVARRO: And people should have hope. Hope alone won’t win an election. People got to turn hope into vote.

And I don’t think relying on polls and kind of just sitting back and getting complacent is something that nobody can afford to do if they want to see change.
