9/11 25th Anniversary Ceremony in NYC: Watch live from Ground Zero

9/11 25th Anniversary Ceremony in NYC: Watch live from Ground Zero

New York Post

Watch live as New York City commemorates the 25th anniversary of the horrific terror attacks on September 11th, 2001. The ceremony will be attended by survivors, family members of victims and leaders including Vice President JD Vance. 

The first of seven moments of silence will come at 8:46 a.m. in observance of when hijacked Flight 11 struck the North Tower, followed by the reading of names of the 2001 and 1993 WTC bombing victims by the loved ones they left behind.

For the first time, there will be a seventh moment of silence to honor those who have since died from 9/11-related illnesses and injuries.

Taxpayer-funded trans dolls with removable genitalia to hit classrooms this fall for kids as young as 4 to ‘learn about different options’

They’re dolling up the trans agenda — and taxpayers are footing the bill.

“First-of-their-kind” transgender dolls — complete with removable genitalia — will debut in some Minnesota classrooms this fall to kids as young as 4 years old.

The paper dolls, with gender-neutral names like “Sam,” “Rory,” “Avery” and “Parker,” have removable internal and external genitals, along with more than 100 interchangeable pieces of clothing, accessories and hairstyles — like a trans Mr./Mrs. Potato Head.

The goal is for kids to “learn about the different options that exist for who they can be,” according to a therapist at the University of Minnesota Medical School, which spent over half a decade developing the controversial project funded by lefty Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz


The Medical School’s Institute for Sexual and Gender Health research over those six years included paying $20 to $60 for “trans and gender diverse” children and their parents to play with the dolls and “talk about gender and bodies” in groups.

Prototypes of the dolls were shown in a 2024 conference where one named “Sam” can be seen in what appears to be some phase of a gender transition, with a detachable penis off to the side, and a dress and girls’ underwear within reach.

The trans dolls — which promise to “make gender fun” — will be made available to teachers, school counselors, pediatricians and mental health providers, according to a website of the “MyGender Dolls” company. It features an image of a boy doll wearing a dress and others in various states of sexual identity confusion.

It’s not known whether parents — or children themselves — will be able to order a doll, or if they will only be marketed to professionals and schools. It is not known if parents will be able to opt out of such “therapeutic play” for their kids.

The dolls began as a University of Minnesota research project, which was later spun into a commercial venture — “MyGender Dolls” — by two licensed psychologists who are professors at the medical school.

The website does not reveal the cost of the paper dolls.

The University of Minnesota’s Medical School has been receiving $15 million annual funding from the state via Walz — cash earmarked to “increase the medical school’s research capacity” and “ensure its national prominence.”

NC woman accused of mowing down cop freed on low bail, sparking police fury: ‘Enough is enough’

A North Carolina woman accused of plowing her car into a cop in a brazen, caught-on-camera attack was freed on bond just hours after her arrest – a “very frustrating” move that has police fuming.

Tanaezah Michelle Austin, 25, posted a $3,000 bond and was back on the streets hours after she was jailed for slamming her black Kia Optima into a Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police officer as cops tried to break up a “street takeover” in Charlotte on March 1, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by Fox News.

Police said the officer was standing in front of the car ordering Austin to stop when she allegedly hit the gas and sped off amid mayhem unfolding in a Harris Teeter parking lot around 3:25 a.m.

Dems urging troops to ‘disobey’ are playing a dangerous game

Disgusting: Democratic members of Congress are now actively encouraging troops to disobey their commanders.

That’s the clear thrust of the one-minute video released Tuesday featuring Sens. Elissa Slotkin (Mich) and Mark Kelly (Ariz.) warning “This administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals . . . against American citizens.”

Other veterans now serving in the House chime in: “Our laws are clear: You can refuse illegal orders,” pronounce Reps. Chris Deluzio (Pa.), Maggie Goodlander (NH), Chrissy Houlahan (Pa.) and Rep. Jason Crow (Colo.).

Yes, they’re all emphasizing the duty to disobey illegal orders — but if they actually saw any real sign that the president or other high commander is issuing such orders, they’d be doing a lot more than just cutting an ad.

Indeed, they plainly don’t believe one word they’re saying, or they’d detail exactly what illegal orders Team Trump has issued.

All of them know that the modern US military takes great care to lay out what constitutes an illegal order; no one now in uniform has the least need for added instruction about it.

The real target audience is the Bluesky addicts and so on who’ll wallow in this propaganda porn — a fantasy that pretends President Donald Trump is an out-of-control dictator poised to sic the military on civilians in some sort of coup, and so panders to progressives’ desperate desire to see themselves as stalwart patriots resisting an outlaw regime.

It’s a disgrace that these veterans are milking their own service to rally partisan support (and raise funds down the line, no doubt) by insinuating that the sitting president is ordering service members to violate the Constitution.

Worse is the real and obvious danger that some in lower ranks could take this nonsense seriously, and think they have a duty to indulge in quiet acts of mutiny — disobeying legitimate orders because they foolishly trust a US senator to play it square with them.

That is: Two members of the Senate and four of the House are all but calling on soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen to defy legal orders — or, say, leak classified info or otherwise sabotage the chain of command.

Until now, we’ve respected Kelly and Slotkin; it’s appalling to see them sink so low.

This isn’t simply a cynical stunt; it’s a contemptible gambit that tiptoes to the edge of sedition. For shame.

Zohran Mamdani’s Democratic Socialists of America comrades push ‘abolition’ of traditional family


By Rich Calder
Published Aug. 9, 2025, 8:50 a.m. ET

Zohran Mamdani’s twisted comrades at the Democratic Socialists of America pushed for the “abolition” of the traditional family at their annual conference, called marriage and sex work “two sides of the same coin” and proclaimed abortions should be done in churches.

Panelists at the “Socialism 2025” conference last month in Chicago did victory laps over Mamdani’s June win in the Democratic primary for NYC mayor, repeatedly touting his lefty agenda over the four-day commie-fest, video of the event shows.

Speakers at “The Left and the Family” seminar ignored the Uganda-born Mamdani’s ultra-privileged upbringing by his Hollywood-director mom and radical Columbia University dad, all while parroting central tenets of Marxist ideology to the audience — that the nuclear family is inherently repressive, racist, sexist and promotes capitalism.

“In addition to the abolition of family policing [government-run child protective services], we argue for abolition of the family in general and say that the institution of the family acts as part of the carceral system in that it reinforces children as property,” said panelist Olivia Katbi, co-chair of the DSA in Portland, Ore.

Eman Abdelhadi, another panelist who is also an assistant professor at University of Chicago’s Department of Comparative Human Development, said many fellow lefties are “surprised at how few people are ready for revolt.”

“When we talk about family abolition…we’re talking about the abolition of the economic unit,” she said. “It is a horizon … in which all of our material needs are taken care of by the collective.”

Obama’s Trump-Russia collusion report was corrupt from start: CIA review


By
Miranda Devine
Published July 2, 2025, 12:13 p.m. ET

A bombshell new CIA review of the Obama administration’s spy agencies’ assessment that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election to help Donald Trump was deliberately corrupted by then-CIA Director John Brennan, FBI Director James Comey and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who were “excessively involved” in its drafting, and rushed its completion in a “chaotic,” “atypical” and “markedly unconventional” process that raised questions of a “potential political motive.”

Further, Brennan’s decision to include the discredited Steele dossier, over the objections of the CIA’s most senior Russia experts, “undermined the credibility” of the assessment.

The “Tradecraft Review of the 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment [ICA] on Russian Election Interference” was conducted by career professionals at the CIA’s Directorate of Analysis and was commissioned by CIA Director John Ratcliffe in May.

The “lessons-learned review” found that, on December 6, 2016, six weeks before his presidency ended, Barack Obama ordered the assessment, which concluded that Russian President Vladimir Putin “aspired” to help Trump win the election.

The review identified “multiple procedural anomalies” that undermined the credibility of the ICA, including “a highly compressed production timeline, stringent compartmentation, and excessive involvement of agency heads.”

It also questioned the exclusion of key intelligence agencies and said media leaks may have influenced analysts to conform to a false narrative of Trump-Russia collusion.

“The rushed timeline to publish both classified and unclassified versions before the presidential transition raised questions about a potential political motive behind the White House tasking and timeline.”

The review found that Brennan directed the compilation of the ICA, and that his, Comey’s and Clapper’s “direct engagement in the ICA’s development was highly unusual in both scope and intensity” and ”risked stifling analytic debate.”

Brennan handpicked the CIA analysts to compile the ICA and involved only the ODNI, CIA, FBI and NSA, excluding 13 of the then-17 intelligence agencies.

He sidelined the National Intelligence Council and forced the inclusion of the discredited Steele dossier despite objections of the authors and senior CIA Russia experts, so as to push a false narrative that Russia secured Trump’s 2016 victory.

“This was Obama, Comey, Clapper and Brennan deciding ‘We’re going to screw Trump,’” said Ratcliffe in an exclusive interview.

The bad old days of NYC are back

Curtis Sliwa, 61, leads a platoon of 12 men through the grimy 181st Street subway station in Washington Heights. The squad, all clad in matching red jackets and berets, board the last car of the 1 train.

“This is where bad guys meet and scheme,” says Sliwa.

The recent spate of slashings — including one in Greenwich Village this past Wednesday — conjures the bad old days of 1970s New York, and another relic from that era is also back: the Guardian Angels.

Sliwa started the Angels in 1979. He was working as the night manager of a Bronx McDonald’s at the time, and was sickened by the rampant subway violence.


Jubei Raziel, a model-turned-photographer, says it’s surprising what just an Angel’s presence can do.

The Angels now have more than 5,000 volunteer members in cities around the world. In recent decades, the group has focused its crime-fighting energy outside of New York, but, lately, Sliwa has been increasing his efforts in NYC. In the past six months, 68 new recruits have been brought on to the local branch, which previously had less than 100 members.

“Things are looking rough again,” says Sliwa, who believes small crimes are on the rise, despite statistics to the contrary.

The reportedly rough times led Jubei Raziel to join the ranks.

“On the uptown A train recently, a guy was standing up, yelling.

Everybody stood on one side of the car, feeling intimidated. I got between the guy and the other passengers. The message was that he can go as crazy as he wants on this side of the line but can’t cross,” says Raziel, a 35-year-old fashion model-turned-photographer who grew up in Washington Heights admiring the Angels. “It’s surprising what your presence can do.”

Even teenagers are choosing to don the Angels’ signature red jackets, which are manufactured in New Jersey for the group, and berets, which are just Boy Scout hats.

Ivan Cruz, a 16-year-old from Bushwick, signed up three months ago.

“I think the public needs to take some responsibility for what’s going wrong,” says Cruz, who is an 11th grader at the School for Legal Studies in Brooklyn and hopes to have a career in law enforcement.

Cruz is the youngest member of the group (the minimum age is 15), and he admits his parents are wary, even though he underwent months of self defense and martial arts training with the Angels, as all newbies do.

“[My family has] asked me not to patrol in Bushwick,” Cruz says. “They don’t want me to be a target in my own neighborhood.”

Most of the time, though, it’s not that dangerous. Often, the problems the Angels tackle are minor — more akin to a cat stuck in a tree than a four-alarm fire.

Not long after Sliwa and his crew board the 1 train in Washington Heights, his walkie-talkie crackles, alerting him to an issue. He takes off, walking between the cars with practiced balance. He ultimately finds nothing more than a dozing man with a Colt 45 bottle at his feet. Sliwa shakes him awake.

“I’m not rousting you,” he says gently. “I just want to make sure you’re OK.”
