NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! New York City socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani once signed a letter labeling conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated last week, as an "extremist" while calling on a venue to block his ability to speak in New York City.  In a June 2023  press release by several local Democrats, Mamdani and his colleagues issued a statement "in response to Motif Studios agreeing to host a far-right extremist event on June 17th at Tammany House in Long Island City." "As elected officials representing western Queens, we are deeply disappointed by the decision by Motif Studios to host an event by the far-right extremist groups Blexit and Turning Point USA at their Triplex LIC/Tammany House ve nue in Long Island City," the statement explained.  "Providing a platform for the kind of transphobic, bigoted views held by invited speakers Candace Owens, Charlie Kirk and others goes directly against ...

Kate Andrews of The Spectator, Dominic Pino of National Review and Carine Hajjar of the Boston Globe editorial board will join the opinion section under new editor Adam O'Neal, who has said he wants to diversify viewpoints at a paper he acknowledged is read "overwhelmingly" by liberals. The hires were announced in a memo that O'Neal circulated to staffers.

Adam O'Neal, the new opinion editor at The Washington Post, has been tasked with reshaping the paper's editorial pages. L...

Demands for Charlie Kirk to get sainthood have gained steam online after New York cardinal Timothy Dolan compared him to a 'modern-day St Paul'. Charlie Kirk was fatally shot while attending an event at Utah Valley University on September 10.(X/@SaveAmericaNew) Kirk, 31, was fatally shot when attending an event at Utah Valley University on September 10. Dolan spoke to Fox and Friends on Friday, where he made the remarks about the slain conservative political commentator. "He was a missionary, he's an evangelist, he's a hero. He's one I think that knew what Jesus meant when he said the truth will set you free," Dolan said. He added, "The difference is the way, the mode, the style that he did it always with respect and not only was that a gracious kind of virtuous thing to do, it's effective." Dolan also expressed belief that Kirk's assassination could inspire a renewed interest in faith among young people. "W...

NEW YORK — President Donald Trump's administration said last week that it is exploring whether the federal government can take control of the 9/11 memorial and museum in New York City. The site in lower Manhattan, where the World Trade Center's twin towers were destroyed by hijacked jetliners on Sept. 11, 2001 , features two memorial pools ringed by waterfalls and parapets with the names of the dead, and an underground museum. Since opening to the public in 2014, the memorial plaza and museum have been run by a public charity, now chaired by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a frequent Trump critic. The White House confir med the administration has had "preliminary exploratory discussions" about the idea, but declined to elaborate. The office noted the Republican pledged during his campaign last year to make the site a national monument, protected and maintained by the federal government. But officials at the National September 11 Memorial & Muse...

New Yorkers, beware. The storm isn't coming - it's already here. If the latest polls are accurate, Zohran Mamdani is on track to become your next mayor. And with him will come a radical agenda that will drain your paychecks, handcuff your police, and destroy your city's future. This isn't a partisan spin. It's a warning from someone who once called New York home and now leads a city that's thriving because we did the opposite of what Mamdani preaches. I've seen what good leadership builds - and how quickly bad policy can tear it down.  The Radical Blueprint for Collapse Mamdani wraps his agenda in words like "equity" and "fairness." But peel back the packaging, and it's a socialist wish list that would make AOC blush. His tax plan would push marginal rates up to 17 percent, leaving New York as one of the least competitive places to do business. That's not a plan for growth; that...
