THE WARMTH OF COLLECTIVISM: New York City Homeless Death Toll Jumps to 18 Amid Freezing Temps

Zohran Mamdani has been Mayor of New York City for a little over a month and during that time, 18 homeless people in the city have died from exposure.

Mamdani policy forbids NYC police from dismantling homeless encampments and forcing homeless people indoors. That policy may sound good to leftists on paper but it is killing people.

This is the same reason that Mamdani has failed the tests of snow removal and trash pick-up. He does not want to do the ‘work’ parts of being mayor. He is too busy making videos about taxing the rich. That’s the fun part for him about being mayor, and what he thinks his real job is.

The New York Post reports:

NYC outdoor death toll climbs to 18 — as shelter worker recalls finding latest deep-freeze fatality: ‘I couldn’t help him’

The death toll from the city’s brutal cold spell climbed to 18 over the weekend — with a shell-shocked shelter worker stumbling upon the latest fatality of the historic freeze, he told The Post.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani confirmed the 18th outdoor death Monday morning, during an unrelated press conference celebrating the opening of the Shirley Chisholm Recreation Center in Brooklyn.

“Each loss of life is a tragedy. We will continue to hold their families in our thoughts,” he said.

The latest person to die was an 86-year-old homeless man, later identified as Charles Williams, according to sources and City Hall officials. His body was found just after 9 a.m. Saturday on the street at East Gun Hill Road and Seymour Avenue in The Bronx.

Adam Faad, 26, said he felt helpless after finding the unresponsive man on the sidewalk.

Faad, a security worker at a homeless shelter who was volunteering at one of the city’s “warming centers” on Saturday, said he spotted the man, who looked asleep, on the street while on his way to his mosque.

Is this what Mamdani meant by the warmth of collectivism?

The Most Unsettling Reality About Modern Medicine

There’s a reason doctors love pushing vaccines. The more they inject, the more money they make.

The foot traffic alone brings in big money, but there’s another perverse incentive, and once you hear it, it will make you angry.

RFK Jr. explains: “Pediatricians who vaccinate 80-85% of the kids in their office, get these giant bonuses… And that’s why they throw you out of the office if you fight back…You’ll lose them their bonuses.”

Sadly, these perverse financial incentives aren’t limited to vaccines but across many areas of medicine.

Dig a little deeper, and another disturbing pattern appears. And once you see it, you’re left gobsmacked by how dark modern medicine has become.

The video below is haunting—not because the doctor in it is malicious, but because she genuinely believes she’s helping.

She’s an MD with a Master’s in Public Health, a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics, and a former leader at Georgetown. Her language is warm. Her intentions seem pure.

Yet this interview perfectly captures how public health has lost its way.

After conquering most deadly contagious diseases, it turned toward chronic illness—and failed.

Instead of questioning why children are getting sicker, it doubled down on vaccinating more, earlier, and without dissent, often dismissing safety concerns as heresy.

Watch this video. Then ask yourself what matters more in modern medicine: children’s outcomes—or institutional certainty.

Daughter of Republican Minnesota Gubernatorial Candidate Jeff Johnson Found Stabbed to Death in Her Home

Law enforcement believes her death was a botched murder-suicide, carried out by her husband, Dylan Michael Tobler, 23.

St. Cloud Police Department officers responded to a medical emergency call around 8:20 p.m. at the couple’s locked apartment.

When they arrived, officers discovered Hallie Tobler dead from multiple stab wounds.

Dylan Tobler was also found inside with life-threatening stab wounds, which investigators determined were self-inflicted. He was transported to St. Cloud Hospital, where he remains in stable condition and in police custody.

Discord to Demand Face Scan or ID to Access All Features

Discord is preparing to make age classification a constant background process across its platform. Beginning next month, every account will default to a teen-appropriate experience unless the user takes steps to prove adulthood.

Age determination will sit underneath routine activity, shaping what people can see, say, and join.

For accounts that are not verified as adult, access will narrow immediately. Age-restricted servers and channels will be blocked, voice participation in live “stage” channels will be disabled, and automated filters will apply to content Discord identifies as graphic or sensitive.

Friend requests from unfamiliar users will trigger warning prompts, and direct messages from unknown accounts will be routed into a separate inbox.

Core features such as direct messages with known contacts and servers without age restrictions will continue to function. Age-restricted servers will effectively disappear until verification is completed, including servers that a user joined years earlier.

The global rollout reflects a broader regulatory environment that is pushing platforms toward more aggressive age controls. Discord has already tested similar systems.

Last year, age checks were introduced in the UK and Australia.

For many adult users, the concern is less about access to content and more about surveillance and the ability to communicate anonymously. Verification systems introduce new forms of monitoring, whether through documents, facial analysis, or ongoing behavioral assessment.

Ghislaine Maxwell Pleads the Fifth in Deposition With Lawmakers

Ghislaine Maxwell declined to answer questions on Feb. 9 in the House Oversight Committee’s probe of her longtime confidant, convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Maxwell invoked her Fifth Amendment right, which protects one from self-incrimination, in response to questions from the committee. She was interviewed by video conference as she was in a federal prison in Texas, where she is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking.

“As expected, Ghislaine Maxwell took the Fifth and refused to answer any questions. This obviously is very disappointing,” Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) told reporters after the deposition.

“We had many questions to ask about the crimes she and Epstein committed, as well as questions about potential co-conspirators. We sincerely want to get to the truth for the American people and justice for survivors.”

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) wrote in a Feb. 8 letter to Comer that Maxwell pleading the Fifth “appears inconsistent with Ms. Maxwell’s prior conduct, as she did not invoke the Fifth Amendment when she previously met with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche to discuss substantially similar subject matter.”

Maxwell’s attorney, David Markus, told lawmakers that his client would be willing to testify that neither President Donald Trump nor former President Bill Clinton engaged in wrongdoing in their relationships with Epstein, according to both Democratic and Republican lawmakers who spoke after the closed-door deposition with Maxwell.

North Carolina Democrat Sheriff Left Completely Humiliated After Repeatedly Botching a Simple U.S. Civics Question During Hearing

An elected official sworn to protect his county failed the most basic of civics questions in humiliating fashion on Monday.

As Axios reported, the North Carolina General Assembly interrogated Mecklenburg County Sheriff Garry McFadden, a Democrat, on a wide range of issues, including immigration and the deaths that occurred in county jails under his watch.

His handling of immigration received the most scrutiny, with many lawmakers blasting him for his handling of the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska last August. Blood is on McFadden’s hands because a career criminal who had no business on the streets to begin with committed the offense.

The hearing then took a rough turn for McFadden when North Carolina Republican State Rep. Allen Chesser decided to test his constitutional knowledge with a very basic question: What branch of government does McFadden operate under?

The correct answer, of course, is the executive branch, given a sheriff’s role in enforcing laws. But a clueless McFadden instead repeatedly gave the wrong answer, saying “Mecklenberg County” and “the U.S. Constitution.”

Chesser then asked McFadden how many branches of government exist (three). Unsurprisingly, the sheriff had no clue.

The Republican lawmaker went on to name the three branches (Legislative, Executive, and Judicial) to save time and asked McFadden again which branch he operated under.

Even with a multiple-choice version of the question, McFadden still got it wrong. He told Chesser his department fell under the judicial branch.

Then Chesser finally broke the truth to him.

The Lost Dog That Made Constant Surveillance Feel Like a Favor

Amazon picked the Super Bowl for a reason. Nothing softens a technological land grab like a few million viewers, a calm voice, and a lost dog.

Ring’s commercial introduced “Search Party,” a feature that links doorbell cameras through AI and asks users to help find missing pets. The tone was gentle despite the scale being enormous.

Jamie Siminoff, Ring’s founder, narrated the ad over images of taped-up dog posters and surveillance footage polished to look comforting rather than clinical. “Pets are family, but every year, 10 million go missing,” he said. The answer arrived on cue. “Search Party from Ring uses AI to help families find lost dogs.”

This aired during a broadcast already stuffed with AI branding, where commercial breaks felt increasingly automated. Ring’s spot stood out because it described a system already deployed across American neighborhoods rather than a future promise.

Search Party lets users post a missing dog alert through the Ring app. Participating outdoor cameras then scan their footage for dogs resembling the report. When the system flags a possible match, the camera owner receives an alert and can decide whether to share the clip.

Siminoff framed the feature as a community upgrade. “Before Search Party, the best you could do was drive up and down the neighborhood, shouting your dog’s name in hopes of finding them,” he said.

The new setup allows entire neighborhoods to participate at once. He emphasized that it is “available to everyone for free right now” in the US, including people without Ring cameras.

Amazon paired the launch with a $1 million initiative to equip more than 4,000 animal shelters with Ring systems. The company says the goal is faster reunification and shorter shelter stays.

Every element of the rollout leaned toward public service language.

The system described in the ad already performs pattern detection, object recognition, and automated scanning across a wide network of private cameras.

The same system that scans footage for a missing dog already supports far broader forms of identification. Software built to recognize an animal by color and shape also supports license plate reading, facial recognition, and searches based on physical description.

Ring already operates a process that allows police to obtain footage without a warrant under situations they classify as emergencies. Once those capabilities exist inside a shared camera network, expanding their use becomes a matter of policy choice rather than technical limitation.

Ring also typically enables new AI features by default, leaving users responsible for finding the controls to disable them.

Fulton County Short by Over Forty (40) Boxes According to Affidavit; County Requests Court to Order DOJ Return Evidence

Last month, the FBI executed a search warrant in Fulton County to take possession of election records that were retained under a court-ordered injunction.  The Gateway Pundit reported on the contents outlined in the search warrant, including all physical ballots, all tabulator tapes, all ballot images, and all voter rolls for the 2020 election.

Several of those items will be difficult to produce according to previous responses to open records requests lawfully seeking them.  For example, Fulton County only provided 9 of 148 tabulator zero tapes for advance voting tabulators, despite repeated attempts to compel them to provide more.

Fulton County provided tabulator almost all of the closing tapes for advance voting, which show the total votes cast and the results for each specific tabulator.  Georgia rules and regulations require those tapes be signed by the precinct manager and two witnesses; however, none of the required signatures were present on each tape.

The advance voting tabulators were instead brought back to the county’s election warehouse where each memory card was removed from the 148 tabulators and then “closed out” on 16 separate tabulators, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.  

“All ballot images produced during the original ballot count beginning on November 3, 2020” will also prove difficult to produce.  During a Request for Admissions conducted on behalf of plaintiffs in Curling v. Raffensperger, Fulton County admitted that they failed to preserve “the majority of ballot images from in-person voting.”

Inside Dem Socialists’ extreme plan for Los Angeles — seizing property, replacing cops and closing jails

A radical left-wing group in Los Angeles has published a shocking 40-page roadmap to transform the nation’s second-largest city into a bizarre socialist experiment.

The Democratic Socialists of America’s LA chapter wants to straight-up seize private property through a “creative use of eminent domain,” take control of your neighborhood grocery store, and replace cops with unarmed social workers while shutting down jails.

Their Communist fever dream wishlist includes banning Airbnbs, grabbing golf courses for public housing, allowing noncitizen immigrants to vote in local elections, enforce a school curriculum that supports social justice, and eliminating all fossil fuel use by 2035.

The 3,500 member group has already helped elect several candidates to local office, and previously backed Nithya Raman, a DSA-member now running for mayor. They openly trash the Democratic Party establishment as capitalist sellouts and want to build “working class power” through what they call a “socialist mass organization.”

The manifesto, published in 2025 is more than 9,000-words long and gives an insight into the policies that a potential Mayor Raman has signed up to as a DSA member and could try to implement in LA. It targets the “status quo coalition” of elected officials, real estate developers, billionaires, nonprofits, and even some union leaders who’ve supposedly sold out workers.

They think they can actually pull this off in six to eight years through local elections and organizing.

“We are on the burning edge of the economic, climate, and moral crises that define this generation,” the manifesto warns, adding ominously: “The choice remains socialism or barbarism.”

Real Estate Company Slammed for Blatantly Anti-White Super Bowl Commercial

On the field, Super Bowl LX looked a lot like the last time the Seattle Seahawks won the NFL championship.

Indeed, Sunday’s 29-13 win over the New England Patriots called to mind Seattle’s 43-8 drubbing of the Denver Broncos in early 2014, when the Seahawks’ defense smothered an overmatched opponent in a game that never really had a competitive phase.

How fitting, therefore, that the real estate company Redfin — much to the chagrin of users on the social media platform X — gave Super Bowl viewers a commercial reminiscent of the race-mongering of President Barack Obama’s years, albeit with a predictable update tailored to the age of President Donald Trump.

Not to mix sporting metaphors, but the Redfin ad, shorn of its subversive politics, could have hit a home run.

The ad began by showing two young girls, perhaps in their early teens, from two different families. Each girl looked forlorn as she contemplated her family’s move into a new home.

It bears noting, only because of the ad’s politics, that the first girl was Hispanic and the second girl was white. One suspects that most viewers would not have noticed as much if not for the subsequent injection of politics.

The two girls crossed paths about 20 seconds into the ad. At that point, the white girl’s dog barked at the Hispanic girl, which kept the two girls from saying hello.

Even then, however, nothing seemed amiss. In fact, the young white girl, having waved at a group of girls on bicycles and received only snarky comments in return, seemed the lonelier and more ostracized of the two.

The anti-white racism began approximately 24 seconds into the ad, when the Hispanic girl’s father tried to strike up a conversation about an impending thunderstorm with an older white man next door. Naturally, the older white man, who flew an American flag and had a pickup truck parked in his driveway, ignored him.

Then came the drama. During the storm, the white girl’s dog escaped her home. A frantic search ensued.

Happily, the young Hispanic girl found the dog and returned it to its grateful owner. The white girl hugged her dog’s rescuer. From there, the two girls rode bikes together and presumably became friends.

Again, shorn of its politics, the ad would have delivered a wonderful message.

Instead, Redfin decided to make a not-so-subtle political statement that undoubtedly appealed to virtue-signaling liberals everywhere.

“America could use a neighbor just like you,” the ad’s final message read.

The company even highlighted that message when it posted the ad on X.
