Trump Threatens Billions In Federal Funds If NYC Doesn’t Put ‘Little Italy’ Back On Map

President Donald Trump on Friday threatened to withhold billions in federal funding from New York City unless the city updates a map of immigrant communities to include Little Italy.

In 2023, the city created a map, “New York City Immigrant Enclaves,” that maps ethnic communities across the city, such as Chinatown in Lower Manhattan, Little India and Little Manila in Queens, and Little Palestine in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. However, the map omits Little Italy as well as ethnic neighborhoods of Irish and Jewish communities.

Speaking at a Columbus Day celebration at the White House, Trump threatened to cut billions in city funding. “So you have Yemen covered, Haiti covered, Guyana covered, Senegal covered. I think it’s a disgrace. We are going to work on that immediately,” said the president.

The city budget relies on federal funding, with as much as $8 billion in the city’s 2025 fiscal year budget coming from federal sources – most of that going toward education and social services. Federal grants also support counter-terrorism funding for NYPD bomb squads and emergency preparedness teams.

In October, 26,500 New Yorkers lost federal SNAP benefits for food assistance under expanded work requirements set up by the Trump administration. Starting in January 2027, possibly 900,000 New York City residents relying on Medicaid may lose health coverage when new federal work requirements take effect. This federal aid goes to individuals, not the city, but the city and state are scrambling to compensate lower-income New Yorkers for these lost benefits.

The 2023 immigrant enclave map resurfaced on social media back in July, and the City Council’s Italian Caucus released a statement on X that it was deeply disappointed with the city for omitting the contribution of Italian-Americans.

“Italians are not a footnote in New York City history – we helped build it,” City Council’s Italian Caucus said in a statement on X on July 10. All four members of the Italian Caucus are Republicans.

When asked about leaving out Little Italy, Mayor Zohran Mamdani said the map predates his administration, but that it would be updated in the future to include Little Italy and others.

“It’s clearly not an exhaustive list of the more than 200 ethnic enclaves,” Mamdani said July 11.

Wisconsin Woman Pretended to be School Teacher So She Could Hurl Racial Slurs at Children, Call Kids Fat, Segregate Students by Race

A Wisconsin woman pretended to be a school teacher so she could abuse white children and segregate the students by race.

Amy Jones, 23, posed as a substitute teacher at Rufus King High School in Milwaukee on September 24.

Jones told investigators she was “bored,” so she went to the high school and told staff that she was a substitute teacher.

Staff at Rufus King High School allowed Jones to substitute teach for the day after eight other teachers called in sick.

Jones admitted to having the ‘birds and the bees” talk with the students in the classroom.

According to the students, Jones screamed at them and abused the white boys in the class. She used “profane language and racial slurs.’

Jones allegedly told the white students that they looked like the type to start school shootings.

The imposter teacher also told the young girls that they looked like hookers.

Jones was arrested and charged with six felony counts and is facing up to 20 years in prison.

WISN reported:

According to Milwaukee County prosecutors, Jones, a former student at the school, entered the building on Sept. 24, told office staff she was a substitute teacher, and was placed in a classroom for the first three periods.

Students reported to a school resource officer that Jones was “using profane language, racial slurs, sexually derogative statements and organizing students by race and gender in class.”

A 16-year-old boy told police, “The teacher was cursing and screaming at the students and that she called a student ‘fat boy,’ asked a student if she wanted to be a stripper or a hooker,” and told two white boys in the class “they were the type of people to start school shootings.”

Students also told police that Jones asked them if they were gay or virgins. At least one student recorded her behavior and shared the video with police.

The school principal told police that eight teachers had called in sick that day, and only seven of those positions were filled. She said she believed Jones “got lucky because there happened to be an unfilled position.”

The principal became aware of the situation during the third period and had Jones escorted from the building.

BBC pays white staff less than ethnic minorities – report 

White employees at the BBC earn less than their ethnic minority colleagues in six of seven salary grades, according to the British broadcaster’s 2025/26 annual report. The figures have raised new questions about the corporation’s drive to promote ethnic minority staff and its possible impact on pay.

According to the BBC’s 2025/26 pay gap report, highlighted by The Telegraph on Wednesday, black, Asian, mixed-race and other ethnic minority employees earn 13.2% more in median hourly pay than white colleagues in the lowest salary band. Even among the broadcaster’s most senior executives, the gap stands at 5.3%.

White employees came out ahead in just one category, where their median hourly pay was 0.6% higher. Across the BBC as a whole, however, white staff still earned 0.7% more, largely because they held a greater share of the highest-paid jobs.

Baltimore Rock Opera Society Fires White Director for ‘Cultural Appropriation’ Because She Wore Cornrows to Burning Man

The Baltimore Rock Opera Society has fired its new executive director, Kelly Carnes, after a video showed the white arts executive wearing cornrows at the Burning Man festival, and leftists complained that the hairstyle was cultural appropriation.

Carnes had only been on the job for about two weeks when she was canned.

The volunteer-run theater group, which has staged original rock-and-roll shows in Baltimore since 2009, welcomed her on Instagram on September 14, writing that it was “excited for the new stories about to unfold under AWOL’s leadership as she supports us in our 7,000-year mission of incredible rock theater.”

Less than two weeks later, they fired her.

An email to volunteers, obtained by the Baltimore Banner, announced the firing and said four of the six board members would step down on December 31.

“For BROS to continue, there is an URGENT NEED for qualified people to step up and take these responsibilities from the current board immediately,” the email said.

WBAL reports:

The organization added it was revising its Anti-Discrimination Policy to address cultural representation and dress and enforcing anti-racism leadership training.

“The mission of this group will focus on initiatives and systemic changes related to community culture, anti-racist practices, inclusion, accountability, equity, and access within BROS,” the statement posted on social media adds.

The scandal began with a video from a BROS public event.

Carnes had just returned from Burning Man, the annual arts festival in the Nevada desert. She said she had her hair put in cornrows as a “protective style” against the wind and dust, and that she kept the braids because she did not have time to take them out before her first event with the group.

The style featured cornrows along the top, then longer braids and extensions.

She told The Banner that she had checked with fellow campers, including people of color, and with people she works with at home, before wearing it.

The group later removed the video.

Before a September 22 meeting, the board posted that it had “received many heartfelt and concerned messages from members of our community regarding a video circulated on social media showing our new Executive Director, who is white, wearing cornrows at a recent BROS public event.”

The statement said the board shared “the weight of these concerns” and took the matter seriously.

Carnes said the termination letter did not mention the hairstyle. It said she was “not a good fit,” but she does not accept that explanation.

Case of Hanging Death of Black Woman in Mississippi Takes Another Twist as Democrats Sound the Alarm on Lynchings

The death of Tasia Fortune, the black woman found hanging from a tree, just took another interesting turn.

Earlier this month, a black man was arrested and charged with murder in the death of Tasia Fortune, a black woman who was found hanging from a tree in Mississippi, sparking unfounded claims of a potential lynching case, fueled by leftwing media and Democratic politicians.

Fortune, a 29-year-old mother of four, was found hanging from a tree on August 3rd in Jackson, Mississippi.

Outlets like CNN and the Associated Press immediately said the case brings up memories of the history of lynchings in the south even though Tasia Fortune was killed by a black man.

Two black men were arrested in connection with Tasia Fortune’s death.

“The death of Tasia Fortune, a Black Mississippi woman found hanging from a tree on Aug. 3, has stirred distressing memories of the grim history of lynchings across the U.S. South,” the AP said.

DISTURBING: Woke Stanford University Caught Using AI to Race-Swap Male Student with Black Female in Ad — Student Left Feeling ‘Silenced and Erased’

Stanford University, an institution that receives hundreds of millions in taxpayer funding, was caught red-handed using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to digitally erase a student and replace him with an AI-generated Black woman in university promotional materials.

The conservative campus paper The Stanford Review reported Monday that Stanford Residential & Dining Enterprises took a photograph shot by a university photographer, ran it through AI, and published the doctored result as advertising.

Sophomore Billy Ramirez recognized the original shot. In the banner that went out, he was gone. In his place: an AI-generated Black woman. Two students to his right were also digitally slimmed down and had their faces altered.

“I was driving to school from my hometown when my friend sent me the images comparing the banner to the original photos, and I was immediately baffled,” Ramirez told The Stanford Review.

“At first, I found it hilarious that they had used AI to completely change our appearances, including my race and gender. But after looking at the comparison, I was also upset because I don’t agree with Stanford making those choices about how we were represented. Seeing my identity changed and being left out of the picture made me feel, in a way, silenced and erased from a representation that was supposed to include me.”

Carnegie Mellon University Associate Professor Under Fire for Disturbing Anti-White Social Media Posts

Uju Anya, an associate professor of second language acquisition at Carnegie Mellon University, is under fire for social media posts attacking White people, and this isn’t the first time.

The Gateway Pundit reported that Anya took to social media to also suggest that the attempted assassination of President Trump was a ” staged ” shooting and the shooter was part of a “stupid show.”

Anya also attacked Charlie Kirk following his murder.

According to Newsweek:

One of the latest flashpoints involves Uju Anya, an associate professor at Carnegie Mellon University, who referred to Kirk as a “s***bag” and said she hoped he would “rot in p***” while participating in online “Kirkiversary” posts marking the anniversary of the conservative commentator’s death.

As criticism mounted, users also resurfaced a number of Anya’s older posts, including a 2021 exchange in which she allegedly told another user, “Die first, white man,” as well as earlier comments celebrating the death of conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh.

The recent controversy she has found herself in is a video in which she declares, “These f*cking racist white supremacist pedophile assh*les will not win.”

Democrat Nominee for GA Governor Keisha Lance Bottoms: Black Women Conditioned into ‘Post-Traumatic Slave Mentality’

Black women are conditioned into a “post-traumatic slave mentality,” Democratic nominee for Georgia governor Keisha Lance Bottoms claims.

Speaking during the women’s event Radiant Conversations, Bottoms said, “As black women, we are conditioned. Girl, you can’t depend on anybody else. If you don’t do it for yourself, ain’t nobody else gonna do it for you.”

“And in many ways, that is a post-traumatic slave mentality,” Bottoms claimed. “That it is – it is not just on our backs. That this is a burden that we can all carry. It’s a win for all of us. And so it is just remembering that this is a sisterhood, that this is about community. It’s not about going fast.”

Bottoms continued: “It’s about taking others with you, and I’m just – I’m so grateful to have learned those lessons and to be able to apply them in this season.”

Bottoms, the former mayor of Atlanta and former senior advisor to former President Joe Biden, is hoping to become the Peach State’s next governor and has stated she will put President Donald Trump up to Biden’s record, asserting the former president “delivered” for Georgia.

“I will put Biden up against Trump’s record any day of the week, especially in the way he delivered for Georgia,” she said during an appearance on CNN’s OutFront.

She continued, adding, “The people of Georgia are talking about the cost of living. They’re talking about grocery costs. They’re talking about healthcare costs, 500,000 people in this state opted not to get healthcare after the big, ugly bill. Those are the things that people care about.”

Notably, Bottoms made her anti-Trump position abundantly clear when she announced her intention to run for governor in Georgia, deeming the commander-in-chief a “disaster for our economy and our country — from his failure to address rising prices to giving an unelected billionaire the power to cut Medicare and Social Security.”

“Donald Trump is no laughing matter,” she said. “Well, My grandmama taught me, no matter how hard they swing you never stay down. You fight back. That’s why I’m running for governor, because Georgia families deserve far better than what Donald Trump and Republicans are giving us.”

UK Government Reserves Two-Thirds Of Elite Jobs By Race; Leaked Doc Exposes

Sixty-six per cent of the slots are ringfenced for staff who are ethnic minority, disabled, or from a lower socio-economic background. Everyone else – including the white working-class kids the same government claims to champion – can take whatever is left. They’ve essentially built a public-sector caste system.

The Cabinet Office’s defence is the same tired formula used across the British state. The scheme, it says, complies with the “positive action” provisions of the Equality Act. In plain English: race, disability status and class background are now official sorting criteria for who gets accelerated towards the top of the machine that writes the country’s laws.

Reform UK’s home affairs spokesman Zia Yusuf put the objection in one line: “Jobs and opportunities should be awarded on merit, not handed out according to someone’s ethnicity.”

AOC Humiliated as Fact Check Obliterates Her Black Lynchings Claim

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sounded the national alarm this week, claiming Black Americans were once again being lynched across the country.

The New York Democrat presented the charge not as a concern awaiting evidence, but as an established wave of racial violence.

“This year, there have already been 10 reported hangings of Black people in the U.S.,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on X.

She said she had joined Rep. Ayanna Pressley and other congressional Democrats in demanding federal action.

Ocasio-Cortez described the cases as “racial terror,” while Pressley declared, “Black folks are being found hanged in America.”

Their rhetoric invoked one of the ugliest chapters in American history before investigators had established that these deaths were racially motivated killings.

Pressley pushed the imagery even further by referring to “strange fruit” hanging from trees across the country.

That language was clearly intended to produce maximum outrage, but inflammatory comparisons do not become facts merely because Squad members repeat them loudly.
