Polish Americans across the country hold events and parades to honor Casimir Pulaski, a Polish nobleman and Revolutionary War hero known as the “Father of the American Cavalry.”

But to NYC Mayor Mamdani, a hero of the Revolutionary War is not special enough to warrant distinction.

Mamdani ignored an invitation to attend the Pulaski Day Parade in the city on October 4th. He then tried to cover for the slight by lumping honoring Polish Americans’ contribution to the nation into an upcoming event celebrating the heritage of Eastern Europeans, something many consider a slap in the face because of Poland’s history.

Per The New York Post:

Most Poles identify as Central European and strongly reject any “Eastern European” label — largely because of its historical connection with Soviet communism and the Warsaw Pact.

Adding insult to injury, the socialist mayor then ditched a fresh Gracie Mansion tradition launched by his predecessor Eric Adams — pulling the plug on the annual breakfast reception at Gracie Mansion honoring Polish heritage.

Instead, the Mayor’s Office sent out invites last week for an Eastern European reception on Oct. 22 at Gracie Mansion.

Former Councilman Robert Holden said on X, “Mamdani clearly hates Europeans, especially white New Yorkers. Period. First, he snubbed German-Americans at the Steuben Day Parade.”

“Then Polish-Americans at last week’s Pulaski Day Parade. Now Italian-Americans on Columbus Day..”

“What does that tell you?”

“I call it racism, plain and simple.”

Born in Poland in 1745, Pulaski fought for Polish independence against Russian domination as part of the Confederation of Bar before fleeing to France.

He was recruited to America by Benjamin Franklin, arriving in 1777, and wrote to George Washington that he came “where freedom is being defended, to serve it, and to live or die for it.”

During the Battle of Brandywine, his cavalry charge helped avert disaster and is credited with saving Washington’s life.

He was promoted to brigadier general and organized the Continental Army’s cavalry.

During the Siege of Savannah, he was mortally wounded leading a charge and died on October 11, 1779.

In 2009, Congress posthumously granted him honorary U.S. citizenship—one of only a handful of people ever so honored.

Mamdani also refused to attend Columbus Day parades held in several boroughs, and even posted a photo flipping off a statue of Christopher Columbus.

He also passed on the German-American Steuben Parade in September and the Israel Day Parade in May.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, he was the first mayor in over 60 years to skip the city’s annual Israel Day Parade. Instead, Mamdani bizarrely rode around the city on a bicycle in a full suit.

He also outraged the Jewish community over an offensive video he made satirizing Hanukkah.

The Islamo-Marxist riots in France have completely exploded after weeks of mayhem and are threatening President Emmanuel Macron’s home.

As The Daily Mail reported, thousands of violent protesters overturned cars, set buildings ablaze, and attacked police across the country.

The worst violence arguably occurred in Lyon. There, a tourist office and cars were set on fire by rioters.

France’s interior minister, Laurent Nuñez, also added that looting by the red-green rioters was recorded in many cities. These cities included Paris, Rouen, Nantes, Toulouse, and Marseille.

Several videos have emerged showing just how ugly the scenes were.

WATCH:

L’office de tourisme de Lyon incendié, la mairie de Marseille saccagée et Marianne mise à terre, des voitures en feu et des rues de Paris ravagées…

Seule la force permettra d’enrayer ce chaos.

Il faut mettre fin à la chienlit. Face a l’anarcho-terrorisme à l’œuvre ce ne sont pas des manifestations mais la résurgence des ligues des années 1930. L’avènement d’un fascisme rouge.

Depuis des jours les Français assistent médusés à un déferlement de violence d’ultra gauche dans le pays. Nous sommes à la frontière d’une bascule dans une forme d’anarcho-terrorisme.

Il faut rappeler des règles claires : aucune violence envers des policiers, du mobilier urbain, des commerces, des hôpitaux et des écoles ou universités n’est légale et acceptable.

Ce ne sont pas des manifestations mais une tentative de déstabilisations politique pour contourner la démocratie.

L’ordre doit être restauré quoi qu’il en coûte.

Now, one of the most historic structures in the entire country, the 143-year-old Limoges town hall, has now burned to the ground as the police continue to sit on their hands.

BREAKING: France’s historic Limoges town hall (143 years old) COLLAPSES after leftist-Islamist aligned rioters set it on fire, and POLICE DO NOTHING

WHERE IS MACRON?

FRANCE IS FALLING. This is symbolic.

It opened in 1883, and it’s stood for 143 years.

France is burning its own history down because of FECKLESS leaders unwilling to preserve the West

Wake up or this is America next.

Rioters are on the verge of reaching Macron’s palace. Just imagine the horror if it were set on fire as well.

France will have officially fallen.

PROTESTERS IN PARIS are now trying to reach MACRON’S PRESIDENTIAL PALACE

They now attempt to push toward the Élysée Palace, where specialist riot police have been deployed.

Macron spent the day promising to punish those spreading chaos.

That chaos is now coming to his doorstep.

Police officers are also running for their lives:

WATCH HERE

Despite all of this, Nuñez says that they will NOT declare a state of emergency.

This is a result of failed previous efforts by authorities to shut down the riots.

In one instance, in Marseille, France, on October 2, a hooded 15-year-old burned a woman’s face with an aerosol can and a lighter at Place du 4-Septembre. She had tried to stop protesters from vandalizing a bus shelter.

Police arrested the teenager that evening in the Frais-Vallon district after identifying him through video surveillance.

He was charged with voluntary violence with three aggravating circumstances: using a weapon, acting as part of a group, and concealing his face. The prosecutor said, “No demand of any kind could justify such acts of violence.”

On October 12th, federal agents raided the Washington, D.C. home of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.

They came with a warrant signed by a judge. And according to Fox News, they walked out with her cellphone.

But here’s what I find fascinating…

The Justice Department has long followed an unwritten rule: 

No big moves against a candidate in the last 60 days before an election.

This raid came 22 days before Election Day.

So why break the rule now?

We may know the reason why…

Months ago, a former advisor to the CIA, the Pentagon and the U.S. Treasury warned that a wave of criminal cases would hit Washington before November 3rd.

He says Omar won’t be the last.

And when Washington goes to war with itself, the damage won’t stay in Washington. It could set off chaos in the markets between now and Election Day… the kind most Americans won’t see coming until it’s already cost them.

We recently sat down with him to get the full story… including the three moves he’s already made with his own money.

For the time being, you can watch his presentation, free of charge, right here.

On Thursday, NBC Today host Laura Jarrett tried to pressure Saturday Night Live comedian Michael Che into condemning fellow comedian Shane Gillis.

In case you missed it, Gillis returned to host SNL last weekend, and in his opening monologue, he addressed the revealing nature of modern female sports attire.

“I haven’t been to the gym in so long, I didn’t know women just dress like w****s now?” he said.

Shane Gillis’ monologue! https://t.co/ky6fVtWBx9

To the progressive left, this was seen as a misogynistic, rape-justifying attack on women.

It wasn’t long before the outrage reached the SNL cast.

Che appeared on “Today” to promote his new comedy special, “Michael Che: Shot in Minnesota.” After discussing the special, the host, Laura Jarrett, pivoted to the recent controversy.

She initially displayed Che’s Instagram post where he said, “gotta do more press this week to promote the special.. wonder what every f***ing questions gonna be about [eyeroll emoji].. thanks a lot shane.”

When asked what he thought about the whole situation, Che responded, “That’s comedy. It’s like, you think it’s funny, and then some people don’t.”

Jarrett pushed still further: “Did you laugh at what he said?”

Che explained how he was prepping for his role in the show “thinking about what I was going to say that was going to make people upset.”

Jarrett kept trying to corner Che into renouncing Gillis, but Che effectively evaded capture, explaining that he “can’t criticize someone for swinging and missing,” because he had “definitely swung and missed too.”

After that interview, Che took to Instagram to explain his thoughts more clearly:

“Folks, I just want to make one thing abundantly clear,” he wrote. “I did NOT laugh.”

“Also, I NEVER laugh. NONE of this s*** is funny to me. I haven’t actually laughed at comedy in about 11yrs, ever since I figured out how to do it.”

He went on to describe his own comedy special: “I make fun of Charlie Kirk, I call the president the r-word, I talk about dating ‘loose women,’ blue balling gay dudes, and allude to God being a bad father.”

If his point wasn’t clear enough, he added that “far be it from me, to thumb my nose at anyone else’s attempt at humor.”

Ultimately Jarrett attempted to force a denunciation out of Che.

He wouldn’t give it, and she was left looking a little silly.

It turns out that the only thing harder than telling an edgy joke on TV is forcing another comedian to condemn it.

A twelve-foot alligator killed a 71-year-old fisherman at Winter Garden Park near Orlando, Florida this week.

The man was killed while fishing at Dr. Bradford Memorial Park in Winter Garden on Friday in a tributary that’s connected to Lake Apopka.

Officials were able to recover the victim’s body from the lake.

A nuisance alligator trapper later captured an 11-foot-8inch alligator from the area.

A witness described how the 12-foot alligator grabbed the man by his leg and dragged him into the water.

The alligator grabbed the victim by the leg as he raised a large fish he had just captured for photos.

Witnesses said they see alligators in the area all the time.

One man said, “Have you ever seen Lake Apopka? Go look at sunset. It’s hump, hump, hump everywhere. It’s There’s thousands of gators in there. It’s definitely not a place I would even put my paddleboard on.

Local WFTV spoke with witnesses of the gruesome death with more details.

According to police, on Saturday afternoon at the busy NYC subway station at 7th Avenue and 53rd Street, an argument led to a fatal shooting.

Although first responders provided CPR to the wounded man, he was pronounced dead upon arrival at Bellevue Hospital.

According to The New York Post, the victim and the gunman “had engaged in some type of dispute on the northbound platform, though the details are not yet clear.”

It appears that the shooting may have been targeted.

Per The New York Post:

“Nothing random between these two individuals,” an NYPD spokesperson told The Post at the scene.

An E train had pulled up to the platform and opened its doors just moments before the shooting occurred, with one witness telling The Post he heard two “pops” roughly eight seconds apart, sending straphangers into a frenzy.

“Everybody was running,” said Mauricio Marroquin, who was on his way home to Queens after working a morning shift as a breakfast attendant.

“I seen a gentleman laying right in front,” Marroquin said of the victim. “He was dressed in a blazer, looked like he was coming from work or something, bro. Going to work or coming from work. It was two shots, man. He only got hit with one, like, that’s weird. And they were eight seconds apart, man. That’s weird.”

The suspect fled on foot northbound on 7th Avenue. No arrests have been announced and the investigation is ongoing.

NYPD shared, “Wanted for a Homicide: On Saturday, October 17, 2026, at approximately 12:21 PM, on the northbound E train platform of the 53rd Street–7th Avenue subway station in Manhattan, this individual shot and killed a man in his 30s. The individual then fled on foot, heading northbound on 7th Avenue.”
