The Roosevelt Hotel claims that it’s the place “where classic elegance meets contemporary luxury”. Classic elegance and luxury at the midtown Manhattan hotel looks like busloads of migrant invaders arriving and camping outside the golden doors. The scene is no better inside where 41 migrants have been arrested for beating wives, girlfriends and significant others. There have also been assaults on employees and an arrest for child endangerment. While the Roosevelt Hotel may have an old name, Mayor Eric Adams and New York City actually leased it from Pakistan for $220 million. That amounts to paying $210 per room for each night that an illegal alien invader uses it to smoke meth or abuse their wives and daughters. The Roosevelt Hotel was named after Teddy. You can imagine what he would have done if thousands of foreigners had invaded a hotel and turned it into a drug den on his watch. In a city where a quarter of young children live in poverty, that $220 million could probably be put t

Over the summer, Barry Diller warned that the double strike by Hollywood actors and writers could “potentially produce an absolute collapse of an entire industry.” Diller, who once headed Paramount and 20th Century FOX, may know what he’s talking about. Hollywood, trying to compete with the vast resources of dot coms like Netflix and Amazon, has been spending untold billions of dollars to convince everyone to buy subscriptions to their streaming services. Netflix will spend $17 billion, Amazon spent $16.6 billion while Disney blew through $32 billion. Disney is trying to recoup some of the billions it lost on Disney+ by cutting costs and going into the lucrative but shady business of sports betting through ESPN. Once upon a time, Disney might have worried about the damage to its ‘family friendly image’ but once it started peddling sexual materials to kids, gambling is actually a major step up. The entertainment industry’s big companies have blown through over $100 billion to secure str

Prayers in schools and any kind of religious content, from the Ten Commandments to Christmas songs, remain widely opposed by litigious leftist organizations like the ACLU. And even the most modest efforts to keep kids from being exposed to graphic pornographic content have been assailed by the Biden administration which has sued school districts for trying to keep kids safe. That’s why CAIR’s guide telling schools how to treat Muslim students is so extraordinary. The Islamist organization lays out rules for Islamic school prayers and tells schools to consult with mosques about sex ed. It warns schools against allowing Muslim girls to interact with boys in co-ed environments like swimming and dancing. And, in a time when leftist governors and school boards force girls to shower with transgender boys who claim to be members of their sex, it even insists that Muslim girls should shower in their burkinis even in single sex settings. But what is truly extraordinary about the CAIR guide is t

On the 22nd anniversary of September 11, the president will be in Alaska instead of at any of the sites where the attacks took place because he was delayed by a visit to Vietnam “You have nary aged a day,” Vietnamese Communist Party General Secretary Trong, who is 79, praised Biden. Biden called Vietnam a “friend” and urged moving on from the “bitter past”. The Vietnam War isn’t the only “bitter past” that Biden is moving on from. Despite the presence of Al Qaeda in Afghanistan, the Biden administration has continued holding meetings with the Taliban, has provided over $1 billion in aid after the Taliban takeover and authorized transactions with the Taliban and even an Al Qaeda component for “humanitarian” reasons. Holding a 9/11 commemoration in Alaska conveniently sidelines the vast majority of family members outraged over Biden’s treasonous efforts to cut a deal with the mastermind of the September 11 attacks. A month before the anniversary, 9/11 families received a form letter tel

 As another 9/11 anniversary arrives, we are not in 9/10, a world before the fall of the towers, nor 9/12, the world that was born in the aftermath of the attacks, rather we are in 9/13. In 9/13, the attacks of September 11 are not considered especially significant.  In 9/13, concern about Islamic terrorism ranks in the low single digits behind everything else. In 9/13, a thousand trending concerns, some vital and some completely unimportant, have vastly eclipsed not only the barbaric mass murder of thousands, but the recognition that we are at war. And that war is far from over. In 9/13, the people who once specialized in talking about the threat of Islam have increasingly moved on. And it's hard to blame them. No one really wants to hear it anymore. It's yesterday's news. America's Islamic population is growing. The open border doesn't just bring in drug dealers and gang members, but massive numbers of people from the Muslim world. The Afghan airlift and visas wil

In nature, a useless species that over reproduces due to an unnatural condition in its environment that protects it from the laws of nature, like pigeons in big cities, is vulnerable to a dieback. So too DEI or Diversity, Equity and Inclusion consultants, are facing their own dieback. Like the Norway Rat or the Great American Bedbug, DEI executives suddenly popped up at every Fortune 500 company in the aftermath of George Floyd’s drug overdose death. They subjected employees to racist unconscious bias training, warped product lines and corporate communications to reflect leftist politics, and could be found sitting in First Class seats while flying to DEI conferences all around the country to coordinate with more of their kind. Now the DEI dieback has arrived. One survey revealed that company events and bonuses are cut first, followed by diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs. Only 5% of recruiters say that DEI is a priority. DEI job listings fell by a fifth last year and the w

Air Force Chief of Staff Charles Q. Brown Jr, Biden’s nominee to replace Milley as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, had signed off on a memo to impose a 43% quota for white male officers in the Air Force. That would be catastrophic at a time when the Air Force is struggling with recruitment, faces a shortage of over 1,000 pilots and 86% of its pilots are white men. Brown, who claimed that America is racist and that he faced racism when someone questioned whether he was parked in the right spot, has been obsessed with remaking the Air Force in his own image. Even with only 1 out of 2 key aircraft and bombers ready to fly, the woke chief of staff has emphasized diversity in hiring and promotion at the expense of merit and ability. Now a Rand report funded by the Air Force shows what it will take to achieve diversity. And diversity, which is more important than winning, won’t be achieved as long as the Air Force clings to basic qualifiers like weight, test scores and no criminal

“You know, when it is 110 degrees outside, your body has to work overtime to cool itself off,” Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas of the Department of Homeland Security began his address to the ‘Extreme Heat Summit’. With 8,000 attempted invasions by illegal aliens a day and even major cities like New York, Los Angeles and Chicago drowning under the tide of invaders, Mayorkas and DHS took a break to talk about the weather rather than the 2.4 million illegal alien apprehensions in 2022. “110 degrees is not a nice day at the beach,” Mayorkas pontificated. “Extreme heat is no longer a looming threat in a climate change-driven future. It is an urgent, dangerous, and deadly problem in our country.” Extreme heat, also known as summer, is normal in states like Florida, Texas and Arizona where Mayorkas ominously warned the population was on the verge of death due to global warming. The biggest threat to Texas and Arizona isn’t coming from a summer heat wave, but a mass invasion of illegals flooding

The ADL is a garbage leftist organization. It was never good for anything but under its current head, Jonathan Greenblatt, it's become a generic woke group dedicated to intersectionality. I have spent over a decade exposing the ADL for what it is including, last week, for its decision to spend the anniversary of the Crown Heights Pogrom together with Al Sharpton in Washington D.C. The ADL, like the NAACP, GLAAD and numerous others is just the mask worn by major leftist foundations and donors. These groups and many others were part of a coalition that organized an ad boycott of Facebook and Twitter in a push to censor the platforms. Musk knows this because last year he met with coalition members, Color of Change (formerly founded by Van Jones) , the NAACP and the ADL and a number of others that were organizing boycotts of Twitter over 'hate speech'. A total of 40 organizations including the ADL, GLAAD, the NAACP, Muslim Advocates, National Hispanic Media Coalition, United

When California’s reparations task force released its report recommending $1.2 million in total lifetime payments to every black person, it made headlines around the world. California was not a slave state so what was the $1.2 million payout even based on? Even though the task force conveniently proposed limiting payments to the descendants of slaves (despite the lack of slaves in the state) it was mostly based on calculating the differences in life expectancy between black people and white people. The meat of the 1,000 page report isn’t in the endless pages of virtue signaling, including a chapter on cultural appropriation, but the claim that “the difference in life expectancy between African Americans and white non-Hispanics in California can be interpreted as the cumulative effect of unequal treatment”. The report gets the amount of money from multiplying the value of a year of life, $127,226, by the 7.6 difference between the life expectancy of 71 years for black people and 78.6 ye
