“Because of our unity, we have three Muslim council members sitting on the council at the same time. And because of our unity, one of our brothers, who was the councilman of the Sixth Ward, is now representing us in the 35th legislative district.” — Councilman Shahin Khalique

A shocking transformation is unfolding in Paterson, New Jersey, where local officials are rapidly reshaping the city into an Islamic stronghold. Once a beacon of American industry and blue-collar resilience, Paterson has become a case study in how unchecked Islamic immigration, demographic shifts, and political pandering can erode a city’s original identity.

 

Islamic Officials, Islamic Agenda

Muslim elected leaders with deep ties to radical Islamic organizations are prioritizing Islamic identity over American values, steering Paterson away from its historical roots. Every policy change, symbolic gesture, and political appointment moves the city closer to becoming an Islamic enclave.

Hilal Lighting Ceremony: A Symbol of Islamic Dominance

The latest development? The Hilal Lighting Ceremony, a city-endorsed event marking Ramadan, held in the heart of “Little Palestine”—Palestine Way. This was no mere religious event but a thinly veiled political rally for Palestinian nationalism.

Officially renamed in 2022, Palestine Way cements Paterson’s transformation into a de facto Palestinian enclave, complete with flags, street signs, and businesses mirroring the very nations many residents supposedly fled. The area is home to an estimated 15,000 Arabs, dominated by Palestinian presence. Main Street, now a mile-and-a-half-long strip lined with Palestinian flags, Arabic signs, and halal restaurants, is more than cultural representation—it is a territorial claim.

Political Overreach Disguised as Religious Celebration

This pro-Palestine event was spearheaded by left-wing Mayor Andre Sayegh, Islamic Councilmen Shahin Khalique, MD Forid Uddin, and Ibrahim Omar, and Islamic Deputy Mayor Raed Odeah—leaders who have made catering to Islamic interests a defining feature of their governance. The event’s oversized crescent moon, publicly displayed for 30 days, is not about Ramadan—it is a symbol of Islamic political dominance in America.

 

Their governance raises critical questions: Are these officials serving the public interest, or are they using their positions to build an Islamic parallel society?

Radical Sponsors Pushing an Islamic Agenda

The event was backed by many groups with concerning histories:

• Islamic Center of Passaic County (ICPC) – A mosque known for radical sermons. Imam Baker Assaf has acknowledged that Islamic law prescribes throwing homosexuals off roofs but claims they refrain from doing so in America because it is not an Islamic country. Imam Mohamed Hassaballa has called Christians ‘idolaters’ and spoken about Muslims ‘overtaking disbelievers.’ Hamas-linked CAIR official Ayman Aishat has used the mosque to solicit donations while demonizing U.S. politicians and defending pro-Palestinian activism.
• Omar Ibn Al-Khattab Mosque – A religious institution with previous ties to controversy.
• Palestinian American Community Center (PACC) – An activist group lobbying for radical pro-Palestinian policies in Paterson.
• National Arab American Medical Association (NAAMA) – While presented as a professional medical organization, NAAMA has engaged in advocacy efforts that extend beyond healthcare, aligning itself with pro-Palestinian political movements and using its platform to promote activism that favors Islamic and Palestinian interests over American policies.
• Palestinian American Community Center (PACC): this group is not simply a cultural or social organization—it is a political entity pushing a radical pro-Palestinian/Hamas agenda while operating within the United States. It has actively lobbied for pro-Palestinian policies, organized radical demonstrations, and served as a platform for dangerous anti-Israel and anti-Jewish activism.

These are not merely cultural or religious organizations; they are activist entities leveraging their influence to solidify Paterson as an Islamic enclave and normalize political Islam in America.

Mayor Sayegh’s Speech: Boasting About Islam’s Stronghold in Paterson

With these organizations steering Paterson’s transformation, their influence is echoed in the words of the city’s leadership. During the event, Mayor Sayegh made shocking declarations:

“Paterson is the capital of Palestine in the United States of America.”

“Paterson is the fourth holiest city in the world, Jerusalem, Mecca, Medina, and then Paterson.”

Sayegh further boasted about policies catering to Islamic governance, including school closures for Eid, halal food in public schools, the Adhan (Islamic call to prayer) broadcast in the city, and the use of City Hall for Ramadan events:

“Patterson embraces and appreciates Islam so much so that we are one of the few cities in the country where children are afforded a day off for both Eid holidays… where children in schools can have halal food in their cafeterias… where the Adhan, the call to prayer, can be heard in the city. And I also would like to state that since taking office, we opened up the doors of City Hall for the first time in Paterson’s history to have a community Iftar to break fast in Paterson.”

These are not mere words; they signal an explicit effort to reshape Paterson’s identity from an American city to a Palestinian-Islamic hub. Furthermore, he boasted how Paterson has

Pushing the Palestinian Agenda Under the Guise of Ramadan

Paterson’s elected officials allowed Islamic radical Rania Mustafa, the executive director of the controversial Palestinian American Community Center, to use the event’s platform to push anti-Israel rhetoric and promote the antisemitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement (BDS), which wants to destroy the Israeli economy with Nazi-like boycott efforts.

• Economic boycotts of Israel (BDS movement)
• Political activism against U.S. policies supporting Israel
• Mobilizing the Muslim community (ummah) for elections to push pro-Palestinian candidates

Mustafa announced during her speech that the PACC released a controversial advocacy guide to help the “community” take action during Ramadan. Below is some of the radical pro-Palestinian action items allowed to be promoted at the government-backed event:

Renaming Main Street: Palestine Way and the Nakba Propaganda

Beyond political activism and economic pressure campaigns, the Palestinian agenda is also being cemented into Paterson’s very infrastructure.

In 2022, Councilman Alaa Abdelaziz, the city’s first Palestinian-American council member, successfully pushed to rename Main Street to Palestine Way, a symbolic declaration of allegiance to a foreign entity. This renaming was deliberately timed for May 15, the so-called “Nakba” day, a propaganda effort designed to delegitimize Israel’s right to exist.

The Nakba narrative falsely portrays Israel as an aggressor, ignoring the historical reality that Arab leaders rejected peace and launched a war of annihilation against Israel in 1948. Abdelaziz and his allies push this falsehood to rewrite history and foster anti-Israel sentiment.

Public Spaces Turned into Islamic Spaces

This Ramadan lighting ceremony is just one step in a broader agenda to institutionalize Islam in Paterson’s public life. Democrat officials, including Mayor Sayegh, have repeatedly used government spaces to promote Islamic events:

• Hosting Muslim Heritage Month at City Hall, furthering Islamic influence in governance.

• Each year, the city hosts Palestine Week, during which Palestinian flags are raised on government buildings and displayed throughout the city. At this annual event, crowds chant the genocidal slogan, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” a call for the complete destruction of Israel. This chant explicitly rejects Israel’s right to exist. Shockingly, this event is officially sponsored by Paterson city officials. Furthermore, the controversial Mayor Sayegh declared, “Paterson is the capital of Palestine in the United States, where we proudly raise the Palestinian flag, where we have proudly renamed Main Street Palestine Way, and where we celebrate Palestine Day on Palestine Way.”

• Organizing Palestinian heritage celebrations, where speakers openly voiced their radical anti-Israel sentiments.

The city now boasts Muslim officials like Serene Tamey, Paterson’s first hijab-wearing Palestinian-American police officer, and Hon. Abdulmageid (John) Abdelhadi, the first Palestinian-American chief judge in the U.S.—appointments that further cement Islamic governance in Paterson.

The Bigger Picture: Islamization of American Towns

What is happening in Paterson is not an isolated case but part of a nationwide pattern, where Islamic enclaves increasingly exert influence over local governance and public spaces.

This is happening across America, as Muslim-majority enclaves push for Islamic governance, increased mosque influence, and the erasure of existing American traditions. What happens when other towns follow Paterson’s example? How long before Islamic law takes precedence over American law in these areas?

Time to Wake Up

This is not about religious freedom. This is a calculated effort to Islamize American towns, one street and one elected position at a time. The Hilal Lighting Ceremony is just another step toward ensuring Islam is not just accepted but becomes the dominant cultural and political force.

Paterson is a warning for every American town and city. The question is no longer if this will happen elsewhere—it’s where next? How many more communities must fall before we acknowledge the pattern?

If this can happen in Paterson, it can happen anywhere. The time to act is now. America’s future depends on it.

GM Completes Cruise Acquisition, Cuts 1,000 Jobs

General Motors finalized the acquisition of its Cruise subsidiary and laid off half of the self-driving vehicle firm’s workforce, or about 1,000 jobs. The move comes about two months after GM revealed it would stop funding Cruise’s robotaxi development, citing the resources required to scale a competitive robotaxi market.

Reassigned to Super Cruise Development

The Detroit Free Press reported that the job cuts impacted various administrative positions, though a GM spokesperson did not provide further details. The company plans to retain approximately 80% of the technical and engineering teams and reassign the remaining employees to work on the Super Cruise-assisted driving system and related technologies.

Enabling Hands-Free Driving

The Super Cruise platform, available in 20 vehicle models, enables hands-free driving on 750,000 miles of North American roads, according to GM. The automaker said it hopes to expand the technology to urban surface streets as it develops personal autonomous vehicles.

Never Made Money

GM has invested $10 billion in Cruise since 2016 and recently estimated it would reach $50 billion in annual revenue by 2030. However, the aftermath of a 2023 accident involving a Cruise vehicle and a pedestrian led to slower growth. The Free Press reported that the startup never turned a profit and ultimately cost GM nearly $2 billion per year to operate.

The DIE Scam: How America’s Corporations and Universities Were Duped by the Biggest Con of the Century

By Willow Tohi, Natural News • Mar. 5, 2025

• The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) movement emerged in the aftermath of the 2020 George Floyd protests, initially as a well-intentioned effort to address systemic inequalities. However, it quickly transformed into a bureaucratic initiative aimed at embedding social justice programs into the fabric of universities and corporations.
• George Floyd was a LIFE-LOMG CRIMINAL.
• Fueled by psychological manipulation, ideological extremism and the threat of violence, DEI programs spread across institutions. This led to the creation of a bloated bureaucracy that enforced ideological conformity and promoted divisive rhetoric, often pitting individuals against each other based on identity markers.
• By 2024, the flaws in DEI became evident, with major corporations like Ford, Walmart and John Deere rolling back their DEI commitments due to legal and political pressures. A growing number of employees and students criticized DEI for fostering division and mediocrity, leading to a widespread backlash against the movement.
• As DEI retreats, proponents are rebranding their ideology with terms like “inclusive excellence” and “belonging.” However, critics argue that the underlying ideology remains unchanged, and the movement’s advocates are likely to adapt and continue promoting their agenda under new labels.
• The collapse of DEI has prompted a shift towards merit-driven frameworks that emphasize objective criteria and measurable outcomes. This includes structured hiring practices, transparent promotion policies and collaborative decision-making processes, which are seen as more effective and less divisive than the top-down mandates of DEI.

)—The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) movement, once heralded as a moral and business imperative, has been exposed as one of the most elaborate cons of the 21st century. What began as a well-intentioned effort to address systemic inequalities quickly devolved into a bureaucratic hustle, enriching thousands of ideological hustlers while sowing division and mediocrity across academia and corporate America. Now, as DEI collapses under the weight of its own contradictions, it’s time to reflect on how this con took root—and why its demise is a victory for common sense and meritocracy.

The rise of the DEI con

The DEI movement gained traction in the wake of the 2020 George Floyd protests, which sparked a national conversation about race and inequality. But as Stanley K. Ridgley, author of DEI Exposed: How the Biggest Con of the Century Almost Toppled Higher Education, explains, DEI was never about genuine diversity or inclusion. Instead, it was a “bureaucratic initiative designed to anchor a new raft of social justice programs as an inescapable presence on the campus.”

Ridgley recounts how DEI metastasized across universities and corporations, fueled by a combination of psychological manipulation, ideological extremism and the threat of violence. “It was violence and the threat of violence that opened the door for this effervescence of DEI,” he writes. College administrations, fearing the chaos of 2020’s summer riots, capitulated to the demands of activists, allowing DEI to embed itself deeply into institutional structures.

The lunacy of “apparatchiks and supernumeraries” who peddled racialist pseudoscience and enforced ideological conformity. DEI training sessions became notorious for their divisive rhetoric, pitting employees and students against one another based on race, gender and other identity markers. As Ridgley bluntly puts it, “It was weird and alien and hateful at its core.”

The backlash begins

By 2024, the cracks in the DEI façade were impossible to ignore. Major corporations like Ford, Walmart and John Deere began rolling back their DEI commitments, citing mounting legal and political pressures. A Fox News poll conducted in early 2025 found that 45% of voters believed it was “extremely” or “very” important for President Donald Trump to focus on ending DEI programs.

The backlash wasn’t just political—it was personal. Employees and students who had long endured the mediocrity and divisiveness of DEI initiatives finally began speaking out. Psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert, who has seen the harmful effects of DEI in his practice, told Fox Business, “The trend over the last few years has been to make DEI programs into political commissars, to go after people who have different viewpoints, and they end up, in many ways, sowing more division in the institution that they’re supposed to help.”

Even DEI advocates like Naomi Wheeless acknowledged the role of political pressure in the movement’s decline. “It is that [Trump] is a president with a well-documented history of vindictiveness,” she said. “He creates a sense of fear and the feeling that whether we want to or not, we better fall in line.”

The con story lives on

As DEI retreats, its proponents are already scrambling to rebrand. Terms like “inclusive excellence” and “belonging” are emerging as replacements for the now-toxic DEI acronym. But as Ridgley warns, the underlying ideology remains the same. “The Con Story will morph and adapt,” he writes. “Buzzwords will change, new slogans will be coined, but the underlying ideology will remain the same as it always has.”

This isn’t the first time America has fallen for a con story. From the pseudoscience of Karl Marx to the utopian promises of radical activists, history is littered with examples of ideologies that duped the credulous. Ridgley draws a chilling parallel between the DEI movement and the case of Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old who murdered a man in New York City in 2024, driven by extremist ideology. “Persons who cheer the killer Luigi Mangione for his assassination of Brian Thompson also fully support DEI’s personnel, programs, policies and enforcement mechanisms on the college campuses,” Ridgley asserts.

A return to meritocracy

The collapse of DEI is a reminder that meritocracy and fairness are not just ideals—they are essential to a functioning society. As corporations and universities abandon DEI, many are turning to evidence-based, merit-driven frameworks that emphasize objective criteria and measurable outcomes. Structured hiring practices, transparent promotion policies and collaborative decision-making processes are proving to be more effective—and less divisive—than the top-down mandates of DEI.

The death of DEI is a victory for common sense, but the fight is far from over. As Ridgley warns, the con artists behind DEI will not go quietly. They will rebrand, relabel and repackage their ideology in an attempt to deceive a new generation of marks. But for now, America can breathe a sigh of relief that one of the biggest cons of the century has finally been exposed.

The lesson is clear: Ideological extremism and bureaucratic bloat have no place in our institutions. It’s time to return to the principles that made America great—individual merit, equal opportunity and the pursuit of excellence. DEI may be over, but the work of rebuilding trust and integrity in our ins

President Donald Trump is proving once again why he’s the king of slashing government waste and draining the swamp.

In a blockbuster report from Bloomberg, the Trump administration has unveiled plans to unload a massive portfolio of 443 federal properties across 47 states, D.C., and Puerto Rico—properties bloated with bureaucracy, including the headquarters of the DOJ, FBI, and even the General Services Administration (GSA) itself.

The General Services Administration (GSA) disclosed a list of 443 “non-core” assets, encompassing a mix of prime commercial spaces that currently serve as regional hubs for various federal agencies.

“We are identifying buildings and facilities that are not core to government operations, or non-core properties for disposal. Selling ensures that taxpayer dollars are no longer spent on vacant or underutilized federal spaces,” GSA wrote on its website.

“Disposing of these assets helps eliminate costly maintenance and allows us to reinvest in high-quality work environments that support agency missions.”

These properties span nearly 80 million rentable square feet—equivalent to twelve Pentagons. The potential sale of these assets could lead to more than $430 million in annual savings on operating costs, aligning with President Trump’s commitment to trim government expenditure.

Among the high-profile properties listed are the headquarters of several major departments such as Justice, Agriculture, and Veterans Affairs, primarily located in the Washington, D.C. area. Also, the Nancy building in San Francisco and the Dick Cheney Federal Building in Wyoming. The GSA even suggested selling its own headquarters as part of this plan.

Below is the list of buildings in Washington, D.C.:

DOGE Is in the Constitution

By Ted Noel

On January 30, Pocahontas shouted into a microphone that “There is nothing in the Constitution that says ordinary citizens have a right to see what we spend our tax dollars on.” Aside from the frightening implications of such a statement, Senator Warren is so far off base that she’s not even on the field. As an attorney, she should know better.

Article I, § 9, Clause 7 of the Constitution says:

No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.

Questioning Grok AI yields an answer that the highest broad brush level of disclosure, limited to gross receipts and Department level funding, satisfies this provision. This may have been adequate at the Founding, but with the proliferation of departments, bureaus, and agencies, it is no longer a “Statement [of]… Expenditures of all public Money.” A proper description of the present state of affairs is, frankly, NSFW.

Enter DOGE.

Using computerized tools that operate many multiples of the speed of any human, DOGE has been able to create forensic maps of where all the money has gone. In short, it’s an automated method of observing Sutton’s Law: Follow the Money.

Like most working stiffs, I thought USAID was a way that “aid” money got to foreign governments and organizations. Boy was I wrong! Yes, the “AID” part was “Agency for International Development,” but that didn’t seem to make much difference. Big Balls Coristine and his band of merry men let the cat out of the bag. Large chunks of that money were being laundered into the pockets of Democrat organizations and operatives.

Politico has been widely reported to be a prime recipient of federal dollars. While the details are unclear, the $8.2 million in cancelled government subscriptions is a not-inconsequential hit to its $100 million total budget. Other left wing entities such as ActBlue, the Tides Foundation, and various Soros affiliates are also implicated in misappropriated funds.

Detailed amounts for specific beneficiaries aren’t known yet, since DOGE hasn’t published its reports. Multiple lawsuits are throwing mud in the gears. But the screaming by leftists cannot be ignored. They are being exposed. There can be no doubt that government corruption has financed many things that will almost certainly result in personal address changes and loss of WiFi privileges. But more important is the fact that, when all is said and done, a major portion of the federal fisc isn’t being spent on those things that the Constitution allows.

One has to wonder, with all this money sloshing around the pool, just how much of it has ended up in the play pens of various Democrat legislators? How is it that Chuckie Schumer has become a multimillionaire on a salary of a couple hundred grand? Or how did our favorite New York bartender get to be worth millions? It couldn’t be her economics degree or a trade in cattle futures, could it?

The real problem here is the word “expenditures.” When Congress appropriates a few paltry billions for USAID, it hasn’t spent a dime. It has authorized the president to spend through USAID. The money that USAID sends out are its expenditures, and those are the largest part of what was appropriated. Keeping the lights on and paying the help are small potatoes. The federal government hasn’t told us very much about where it is actually sending the money. For example, when we ship rockets and bombs to Ukraine, that’s not technically an expenditure. They are pulled from stockpiles and loaded on ships. The actual expenditure is to Lockheed, Boeing, Raytheon, or some other defense contractor. And that information is buried under multiple layers of paper.

The Constitution obligates the Feds to tell us where the money went. Those expenditures have been concealed from us for decades. It is very likely that most of the last century has been devoted to creating these money laundering networks with the goal of financing every “election” campaign with taxpayer money. In close races, it probably paid for stuffing ballot boxes (see “2,000 Mules”). It definitely paid for propaganda via outlets such as Politico and the Huffington Post. Big Tech got richer from toeing the Left’s line. And Democrat campaigns harvested this laundered money through ActBlue, where retirees on small fixed incomes “gave” massive amounts via thousands of tiny donations. When contacted, the “donors” pointed out that not only did they not give the money, they didn’t have it to give. There’s a short word that describes this: fraud.

Senator Warren isn’t just wrong on the Constitution. She has taken a position completely opposed to the exact requirement spelled out in it. We have every right to know what our government spends our money on. Because no agency of the Executive Branch willingly gives up its ledger, DOGE is the essential crowbar to break open the stone wall. Thus we may properly understand that DOGE is the reporting agency envisioned by Article I, § 9, Clause 7.

Further affiant sayeth naught.

 Courageous Stand Against EU Hypocrisy

Latinopoulou spoke bluntly, calling out the arrogance of European leftists who now attempt to shift blame onto conservatives.

“You, the destroyers of Europe, have the audacity to point the finger at us and claim that we conservatives are a threat to Europe?” she said.

The Thatcher Quote That Left Parliament Silent

At a striking moment in her speech, she quoted Margaret Thatcher: “The trouble with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.” The brutal truth hung in the air.

Then, she laid out her demands:

• Cut taxes
• Increase competitiveness
• Bring back plastic straws
• Stop attacking brown coal
• Invest in industry
• Most importantly, admit that socialist policies have failed

A Rallying Cry for Europe’s Future

Latinopoulou’s speech has gone viral, striking a chord with Europeans tired of bureaucratic overreach and economic destruction. Her defiance signals a growing conservative pushback against the EU’s failing socialist agenda.

The European Parliament may not like what she said, but the message was clear: the left has run Europe into the ground, and it’s time for a course correction.

A cursory review of Social Security records by Musk’s department has revealed that the social security safety net program is paying benefits to 150-year-olds. The businessman noted that many of those entries listed for Social Security recipients had no identifying information.

“This might be the biggest fraud in history,” Musk stated, according to a report by RT.  

In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday, the United States-based billionaire noted that “there are far more ‘eligible’ social security numbers than there are citizens in the USA.” Musk also shared a post by an X user suggesting that 394,943,364 people are currently receiving social security payments. That is more than the total U.S. population, which amounts to 334 million.
