On Saturday, 12-year-old Jacob Freytes, the son of a retired NYPD sergeant, jumped on his bike and set out for a local store to purchase a ball, something that happens thousands of times a day for children across the country.

But in Mamdani’s New York, a simple right of passage turned tragic.

Freytes, who was struck by a stray bullet during the senseless shootout in a gang-infested area of The Bronx.

He was rushed to an area hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.

Per The New York Post:

The 12-year-old son of a cop was fatally gunned down by random shots fired into a crowd outside a Bronx bodega Saturday — where the youngster was seen on heartbreaking video staggering inside clutching his injured chest before collapsing onto the floor.

The gunfire erupted after a brawl broke out on Elliot Place near the Grand Concourse at about 5:30 p.m., injuring two people and killing the 12-year-old who was an innocent bystander, police said.

The young boy had stopped by the Wanda Deli Grocery on Elliot Place to purchase a ball when he was struck by the stray bullet, the United Bodegas of America said.

Two others were injured and are in stable condition.

Surveillance footage shared by the United Bodegas of America via The Post shared disturbing video of the incident.

A reality TV ‘star’ went on TV this weekend to whimper about her ‘disgusting‘ experience at a U.S. detention facility before she was deported from the country.

On Saturday, TMZ spoke with Natalya Scudder, who has starred in both Season 7 and Season 8 of “Below Deck,” where she spoke about her last experience in America.

Scudder, a native of Perth, Western Australia, told the outlet that she was trying to land at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) recently before getting yanked away by security.

“I basically got pulled from like this main waiting area to behind the scenes of the airport,” she told TMZ.

She added that the man “was taking longer than usual” in the immigration line.

Scudder was later informed that immigration authorities were detaining her for making profits on American soil by monetizing her social media content, including her OnlyFans account, while using the wrong visa.

The actress stated that she found the experience completely humiliating.

“Whatever you think’s deleted on your iPhone, it’s not deleted,” Scudder said. “Every single thing you’ve ever screenshotted, taken a picture of, Googled.”

“It’s really embarrassing just having everyone kind of stare at you and laugh when they come out of this room and gaze over,” she added.

Immigration officers then took Scudder to a detention facility, where the dirty bedding and showers repulsed her.

“There were dirty blankets on the floor, stains on the wall,” Scudder said. “There’s a shower, but there’s no towels.”

“I go to (the staff) and ask, ‘How do I shower?’ “She continued. “And they say, ‘Oh, you just wash yourself and dry yourself with your dirty clothes and put them back on.’”

Scudder also revealed that she had asked for a blanket because she was “freezing,” but was informed that “This isn’t the Beverly Hills Hotel.”

Scudder said the authorities told her she was going to spend “1 to 5 days” in lockup. She ended up being detained for 30 to 40 hours.

The actress went on to add that she had an anxiety attack before falling asleep at 3 am.

Then, she said the staff shook her to wake her up for her official interview. But she quickly discovered that a happy ending was not in store.

After her ‘tough’ experience, authorities promptly put Scudder on a 17-hour flight back to Australia.

Scudder closed the TMZ interview by saying that while she still loves the United States, she wants other influencers to be careful when traveling there and have the proper work visa.

In the latest instance of unacceptable anti-white bias, Campus Reform is reporting “Auburn University students recently circulated a seven-page document that compiled a list of over 250 racial slurs toward White people.”

“The document was sent in a GroupMe chat called “AU Student Connect” used by students at Auburn University.”

To be clear, this is wrong, and it should not be viewed as acceptable to be hateful towards White students just as it wouldn’t be towards Black or any other students. 

We all know this would have been all over the major networks had this been done to any other group. This double standard is unacceptable.

“Among those insults were “failed abortions,” “deformed dna,” “mockery of humanity,” “bleach demons,” “albino pigs,” “not meant to exist,” and “white ‘people’ was just god experimenting.”

These disgusting epithets reveal a deeps seated Anti White hate among some of these students.

“Screenshots of the group chat obtained by Campus Reform showed students using the document, titled “Creaker Names,” to ridicule and mock White people by highlighting insults from the list. ”

This is clearly an outrage and begs the question of whether this anti-white hate is being taught or fostered by these students’ professors.

This chat crossed the line to threatening language as well, with one comment threatening to “body check” a White person if they don’t move out of the way. 

This hateful, threatening rhetoric should be disciplined at school.

We are constantly lectured by the Left about “hate speech” and racism in America, yet here’s an example of just that, yet because it’s hate directed at White people, the level of outrage seems to be lower.

All students involved should be disciplined just as if the races were reversed.

Senator Ron Johnson was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo to discuss topics including passing a budget. He blasted Democrats for their continued obstructionist tactics.

Bartiromo and Johnson also discussed anti-Semitism. They also talked about Dr. Anthony Fauci’s upcoming testimony this week in front of the US Senate regarding his handling of Covid.

Senator Johnson replaced the late Senator Lindsey Graham as the new Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee.

“You have a lot on your shoulders right now as Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, and I want to get to all of that in just a moment,” Bartiromo said.

Senator Johnson explained that Israel’s response to attacks is an expected response. He explained that if one of the neighbors of the US invaded and killed our own citizens, we would respond with a lot of force.

The Senator also commented that he is seeing a lot of anti-Semitism.

“I’m highly concerned by the way, of the rise of anti-Semitism,” Johnson said.

“Let me move onto the business at hand and that is of course, your budget work. The House passed a stop gap funding bill that would extend federal funding through December 4th in an attempt to avoid another government shutdown, which your colleagues on the left are threatening again,” Bartiromo said.

“I want to get your take on that as well as your work on reconciliation 3.0,” Bartiromo said.

“Where are you coming up with the offsets to what the House advanced, the $95 billion reconciliation 3.0 budget resolution? The passage in the Senate is unclear,” Bartiromo said.

“First, let’s recognize the Democrats have been obnoxiously obstructionist since President Trump took office. They refused to nominate or confirm his nominees. We had to end the 60-vote threshold on that just so we can establish his administration. They shut down the government for 42 days. They shut down DHS, refused to fund CBP and ICE,” Johnson continued.

“What are you expecting from Anthony Fauci, who will also testify in front of your committee this week?” Bartiromo asked.

“I think he’ll be very forgetful, completely unrepentant, arrogant, arrogant to the extreme. Don’t expect to get much out of him, but I am going to try and lay out all of the things that he did that was such a miserably failed response to Covid,” Johnson continued.

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) responded to the so-called glitch in New Jersey’s MVD voter registration system that illegally signed thousands of noncitizens up to vote by accusing Republicans of voter suppression on Sunday. 

During an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union, Jeffries somehow claimed that Republicans are using the issue for voter suppression as if stopping illegal voters is suppression. Perhaps this would suppress the Democrat vote, which relies heavily on cheating.

Host Dana Bash confronted Jeffries with the damning fact that “New Jersey just disclosed that 6,660 noncitizens were mistakenly registered to vote there from 2023 to 2024.” New Jersey admits that at least 400 noncitizens voted, but Bash was sure to mention, “It is a small number compared to the 7 million voters in New Jersey, and there’s no evidence that that swayed any election.”

“Democrats have repeatedly said that noncitizen voting doesn’t happen. It happened. Is this a problem?” she asked.

“I think that I continue to have confidence in state and local authorities in making sure that there’s going to be a free and fair election in November, and if modest or minor challenges emerge, such as the one that was disclosed voluntarily by the authorities in New Jersey, that it is immediately corrected, and that’s what I expect will continue to happen,” Jeffries responded before going on an unhinged tirade, claiming that the Republicans are engaging in voter suppression by trying to prevent the so-called “modest or minor challenges” before they happen.

“Unfortunately, what we’ve seen from Donald Trump is that in this particular case, Republicans have adopted voter suppression as an electoral strategy,” Jeffries said before attacking Trump’s agenda.

He went on to claim that Republicans are only talking about cheating in the elections to distract from issues like affordability, the Middle East, and cuts to Medicaid.

WATCH:

As The Gateway Pundit reported on Tuesday, New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill admitted that a “serious software error” in the state’s Motor Vehicle System allowed thousands of foreign nationals to register to vote between June 2023 and June 2024.

“Last week I learned that a serious software error in New Jersey’s Motor Vehicle System led to the registration of roughly 6,600 people who indicated that they were not U.S. citizens between June 2023 and June 2024, almost three years prior to my taking office,” she said in a statement on social media.

“These individuals answered ‘no’ when asked on a keypad whether they were a U.S. citizen when applying for drivers’ licenses and identification cards, but through no fault of their own, the system registered them anyway.”

“Fewer than 400 individuals who were newly registered for the first time because of the error voted,” she said, claiming that “They were registered as Democrats, Republicans and Unaffiliated voters” statewide but without providing a breakdown of party affiliation.

Sherrill further took a shot at Trump, writing, “Donald Trump has zero credibility on the issue of election integrity” and attacking him for “spreading lies about legitimate election results, attempting to overturn a free and fair election, encouraging an attack on our Capitol when he couldn’t accept the will of the voters, and defunding election security at the federal level.”

The governor further echoed these claims and more during a press conference on Tuesday, where she lashed out at the software vendor, pointing the finger at their erroneous software.

“Let me be clear: this entire situation is unacceptable. It’s unacceptable that the vendor released software with such a glaring error. It’s unacceptable that the MVC took a year to get this issue fixed, and it’s unacceptable that no one in the previous administration brought this to light, demanded accountability, or took action when it happened years ago,” Sherrill said.

“This failure didn’t occur under my watch, but accountability starts now, because the people of New Jersey shouldn’t have to wait a year for a problem to get solved or two years to learn it even happened.”

Sherill continued, “I’m taking immediate action to make sure something like this doesn’t happen again. Administrator Johnson has already started the process to replace the vendor behind the error.”

WATCH:

However, the state vendor, IDEMIA, fired back on Sherrill’s claims, saying in a statement that its system merely transmits application data collected by the Motor Vehicle Commission. “Information submitted by IDEMIA must still be validated and adjudicated by the Division of Elections,” the company said, exposing the state of New Jersey for breaking the law.
