Our beautiful residential Eastern Queens neighborhood now has a massive migrant tent city om the Creedmoor Psychiatric Hospital grounds. It was erected in the SNAP Senior Center parking lot on Hillside Ave in Bellerose, directly across the street from PS18 Winchester Elementary School, and a playground, a ballfield, and the Cross Island YMCA. This is where the city is housing 1,000 unvetted single male migrants.

The curvy windy road leading to the northern entrance of Efrat passes by an adjacent Arab town. The town extends from a nearby hill downwards and then ascends upwards almost reaching the Dagan and Tamar neighborhoods of Efrat. The town has no name, but it has schools, and nearby homes. Some of the buildings have not been completed as many of its window frames are empty revealing no residency within its walls. They are unoccupied structures.  Piles of garbage line the sides of a nearby road. It must be cleaned, so Efrat taxpayers have it removed at their expense. Given that these buildings are constructed illegally, it is safe to say there are no building codes observed. As the road approaches the security gate at entrance of Efrat, lanes narrow due to the excessive building, only allowing one lane, with traffic squeezing the city’s entrance adding to rush hour traffic.

Once the foremost authority on the prevention of anti-Semitism in the country, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has become a joke to anyone to the ideological right of Bernie Sanders. For years, the ADL has undermined its own credibility by becoming another tool in the Left’s political arsenal under the leadership of CEO Jonathan Greenblatt. This time, they’ve stepped on one too many toes in their quest to cleanse the world of dissenting opinions, and they’ve gotten on the radar of the richest man in the world.

With four indictments, a packed debate stage, investigations into shady dealings, and the leadership of the free world in the balance, it’s not surprising that much of the national focus is on 2024. By the time next November rolls around, Americans will likely be deciding between one candidate in a jail cell and the other in a hospice. Well before that happens, though, there are elections remaining this year, which have a profound impact on New Yorkers’ day-to-day life.

CUNY has an anti-Semitism problem – and they don’t care. For years, CUNY Law has been a hotbed of Jew-hating activity, culminating in back-to-back commencement addresses from student-chosen speakers who proudly declared their hatred for the Jewish state. Recently, four Jewish professors have been retaliated against for complaining that their professional environment is hostile to their Zionism. Now, CUNY has hired someone who openly said to a United Nations panel that he wants “a free Palestine, from the River to the Sea.”

Former President Trump received his fourth, and likely last, indictment this past week, setting the stage for 2024 to have the most focus on courtroom drama since the OJ trial of 1995. Trump will literally be stuck in courtrooms while Republicans head to the primaries to vote for him, which is exactly what the Democrats want. Before breaking down these final indictments, let’s do a quick recap of the other three indictments and their merits.
