Socialist New York City Mayor said he is reviewing his options to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his expected visit to New York for the UN General Assembly in September.

“Netanyahu belongs in The Hague,” Mamdani said, referencing Prison Scheveningen in The Hague, Netherlands, home of the United Nations Detention Unit (UNDU) and the International Criminal Court (ICC) Detention Center.

In a wide-ranging interview with the New York Times, Lulu Garcia-Navarro asked Mamdani whether he would follow through on his campaign promise to “arrest Benjamin Netanyahu.”

The ICC issued an arrest warrant in November 2024 against Netanyahu, alleging he is responsible “for the war crimes of starvation as a method of warfare and of intentionally directing an attack against the civilian population; and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts from at least 8 October 2023 until at least 20 May 2024.”

“I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in The Hague. He’s a war criminal who has been charged by the International Criminal Court, and what you will find is that is an opinion that is held by many purely because of what his actions have wrought over these last many years,” Mamdani responded.

“I’ve also said that I will follow the laws that we have here in New York City, because I believe that there is an importance in following the law as a leader who presides over our city, and that’s something that I plan to do.”

He explained, “Whatever the law allows me to do in New York City, that’s what we will do, but we won’t be writing our own laws to that end.”

When asked what the law allows, Mamdani said he’s engaged in an “active conversation” with his legal department to find out “what the prospects are.” He then used the moment to attack President Trump, saying, “What we’ve seen at the national level is a desire sometimes to write your own laws, to go outside of the bounds of legality. That’s not something we have an interest in.”

Mamdani further said that Netanyahu will not be immune because of his participation in the General Assembly.

“We’re talking about the International Criminal Court and the fact that they have a warrant out for this Prime Minister’s arrest, and I think it’s important to talk about the weight that that has as a charge, and also that as the mayor of New York City, I’ll be following the laws of New York City,” he said when asked whether he’ll honor amnesty for officials at the UN.

WATCH:

Ofir Akunis, Israel’s Consul-General in New York, responded to the threat, saying Mamdani has “no authority” to do such a thing, according to the Jerusalem Post.

A death investigation is underway at a home owned by the husband of far-left Democrat Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) after a body was discovered on the property Saturday afternoon, according to Boston police.

Authorities responded to the Mattapan residence after reports of a deceased individual on the grounds of the property. The home is owned by Pressley’s husband, Conan Harris, Boston Globe first reported.

The scene was quickly cordoned off with red crime tape as the Boston Police Department’s Homicide Unit took over the investigation.

The Boston Globe reported:

At 1:52 p.m., Boston police received an “investigate person” call for 25 Malta St., said police spokesperson Officer James Moccia.

Moccia said police arrived shortly after the call and found a dead body in the area of the home. Sgt. Det. John Boyle, another spokesperson for the department, described the situation as a “death investigation.”

City records show the seven-bedroom home is owned by Pressley’s husband, Conan Harris. The home was built in 1910 and was valued this year at more than $919,000, according to property records.

[…]

Chantae Turner, the realtor who is selling the property, said it went on the market about a month ago.
The same tenants had been living in the house for “a while,” she said.

Turner said she didn’t know any details about what happened Saturday.

“It sounds unfortunate, though,” she said. Turner declined to comment further about the circumstances or the seller of the house.

A spokesperson for Pressley declined to comment according to the news outlet. Harris was reportedly at a Roxbury library event that morning delivering remarks on her behalf.

Boston police have not released the identity of the deceased, the cause of death, or whether foul play is suspected. The investigation remains active.

Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) put her IQ on full display on Friday when she was asked about the Democratic Socialists of America’s (DSA) desire to abolish the Senate. 

The Democratic Socialists of America recently unveiled their new “Workers Deserve More” platform, which includes abolishing the Senate and expanding the House of Representatives, replacing the Supreme Court and the President with Congressionally chosen leaders, ranked-choice voting in all elections, open borders and amnesty for all, and abolishing private businesses.

During a Friday appearance on Fox News, New York City DSA co-chair Gustavo Gordillo discussed the DSA’s vision, describing the democratically elected Senate as “a non-democratic institution.”

“It gives more representation to people in smaller states than to the 30 million people in California,” he said. He did not respond to Martha MacCallum educating him on the balance created by the Senate giving states equal representation, while the House of Representatives is apportioned based on a state’s population.

Instead, he noted that “most people are very unhappy with the political system” and demanded radical changes to the Constitution. “Back in those moments,” he said, referencing the abolition of slavery and granting women’s suffrage, “those were considered radical movements because those people dared to say we need transformative change in the United States.”

He then doubled down on abolishing or reforming the Senate and emphasized his focus on “short-term” change, including freezing rent and universal childcare.

WATCH:

Likewise, AOC tried to claim the Senate goes against democratic values, claiming that it emerged from Jim Crow segregation laws.

The Senate was created in the Constitution when it was ratified in 1788, and the first session was held in 1789. The Jim Crow era spanned from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century, beginning nearly 100 years after the Senate opened its doors.

But they apparently don’t teach that in arts degree programs.

“I don’t support the filibuster. I don’t support elements of this institution that we know, um, you know, were founded on, on, uh, on Jim Crow,” she said, wincing as if it was painful to think.

WATCH:

Meanwhile, as The Gateway Pundit reported, several other House Democrats wisely distanced themselves from the DSA’s radical agenda when confronted on Friday.

Hiking is a great pastime and exercise, but it can also be dangerous, depending on where you are.

One of the most terrifying things that can befall hikers is to bump into a bear – and worse, a grizzly bear.

For three hikers in an Alaskan trail, the outdoor event turned into a horrific test of survival after their heart-pounding encounter with a grizzly bear.

The New York Post reported:

“The hikers rounded a corner and found themselves face-to-face with the bear, nicknamed ‘Scuba Sue’, while it was hunting for salmon along a narrow trail at the Anan Creek Wildlife Observatory in southeast Alaska.

Speaking on ‘Fox & Friends Weekend’, the trio detailed how they relied on crucial park ranger safety protocols to stay calm after finding themselves trapped on the path.

’We’d actually been watching bears, hoping that there were salmon coming up the river. We saw about four or five bears earlier. Those were black bears. And then coming back on the trail, we had an unexpected encounter’, Dr. Michelle Lynn Thaller said. ‘Right around the corner came this grizzly bear’.”

Footage of the encounter shows the bear getting much closer than anyone would have wanted.

The group calmly talked to the bear, slowly backed away and allowed the animal to pass on the path.

“‘Oh, [I] was definitely terrified. And then we remembered what the rangers told us, which was what you said, to be big, talk to the bear, keep it calm and get out of its way’, hiker Tanya Thompson said.”

Disgraced Hunter Biden declared that what he considers the “single greatest mistake” of his father’s administration was Attorney General Merrick Garland’s failure to move more aggressively against conservatives following January 6.

The comments came during Hunter Biden’s appearance on the “I’ve Had It” podcast hosted by Jennifer Welch, where he launched into an extended attack on Garland while arguing the Biden Justice Department should have opened sweeping investigations much earlier.

“The single greatest mistake of my father’s administration was the leadership of Merrick Garland,” Hunter Biden said.

Hunter acknowledged that, ultimately, responsibility rested with then-President Joe Biden because he appointed Garland.

“The buck has to stop with my dad. He was the president. He chose him,” Hunter said.

He tried to thread the needle by claiming the “buck stops with my dad” because Joe Biden chose Garland, but quickly pivoted to the usual “church and state” separation nonsense at the DOJ, while simultaneously complaining that Garland didn’t go hard enough after conservatives from the very beginning.

Hunter then launched into a full-throated defense of the J6 “insurrection” hoax, claiming it was a “concerted and planned effort” that began before the 2020 election, and bizarrely citing alleged Steve Bannon tapes from Mother Jones talking to Miles Guo the day before the election about the laptop and challenging the election results.

Hunter Biden:
The single greatest mistake of my father’s administration was the leadership of Merrick Garland.

Jennifer Welch:
I completely agree. I write about this in my book, Not Today, Fascist.

Hunter Biden:
The reason that we are in the situation that we’re in right now can almost—well, by the way, the buck has to stop with my dad. He was the president. He chose him. Now, once he chose him, he played by the, you know, a higher standard than the Marquess of Queensberry Rules. He played by the Constitution and the tradition that the president will never, you know, particularly since Nixon, involve themselves in any decision-making as it relates to anything at the Department of Justice.

So I guarantee you there was a division between church and state there. Um, but if Merrick Garland had started a completely 100% legitimate investigation rather than thinking, like, “Let’s not fan the flames,” like, what the—did you not watch what I watched? Did you not see these people storming the Capitol of the United States of America, beating cops and running congressmen and senators literally out of the building? You didn’t see that? You didn’t see a president and know that it was a concerted and planned effort on their part, beginning all the way back from the day before the election, when they knew they were going to—I mean, go back and listen.

Jennifer Welch:
They wanted to kill Mike Pence.

Hunter Biden:
Go back and listen to Steve Bannon talking to Miles Guo on the day before the election, saying exactly what they were going to do. There’s tapes. Mother Jones has these tapes that were leaked. You got to listen to the tape where he says, “This is what we’re going to do. First, we started with the laptop, and we, um, uh, you know, we took, I think, uh, license with the pictures, you know, because they did this whole thing where I was a pedophile in China and all this stuff that they put out there. And the next thing we’re going to do is we’re just going to say that the election was not legitimate. And we’re just going to say it over and over and over again.”

So we knew that it was a planned conspiracy that had a disparate number of actors all working inside and outside of the White House, at all levers of government.

Jennifer Welch:
It’s a layup.

Hunter Biden:
And he doesn’t do anything. He doesn’t do anything. The only way that we got to any prosecution of him as it related to January 6th is we had to wait for Congress to go through an entire series of hearings, and it lays it all out then, right? And we still don’t go after him. We don’t end up going after him and get Jack Smith until the documents case. And then they bring the documents case in Florida rather than in D.C. I mean, I don’t get it. I mean, I absolutely don’t get it.

The hypocrisy is staggering.

Hunter Biden is complaining that Merrick Garland was too soft on conservatives. Let that sink in.

Under Garland’s DOJ:

• Over 1,500 January 6th defendants were charged, many for non-violent offenses like “parading” or walking through open doors after police waved people in. Many remain political prisoners years later.
• Pro-life Christians praying outside abortion clinics were aggressively targeted with the FACE Act — several of those weaponized prosecutors were finally fired earlier this year.
• Parents at school boards were labeled potential domestic terrorists.
• Donald Trump was hit with multiple indictments by Garland-appointed Special Counsel Jack Smith.
• The 2020 BLM/Antifa riots — which caused billions in damage, killed dozens, and saw police stations burned — were largely excused or ignored.

Yet Hunter has the audacity to claim Garland didn’t prosecute enough conservatives and that the J6 response was too slow and too restrained.

He even gripes that the documents case against Trump was brought in Florida instead of DC. That’s because that’s where the documents were, at Mar-a-Lago. The lawfare was obvious to everyone except the Biden family bubble.

The Biden administration and Merrick Garland’s DOJ did exactly what Hunter wanted in many ways: they used the machinery of justice as a political weapon against conservatives, Trump supporters, and political opponents. They just didn’t go far enough for Hunter’s liking.
