Woke activist author Ta-Nehisi Coates faced significant backlash late this week for suggesting during a podcast that he might not have been able to stop himself from participating in the mass slaughter of Jews on October 7. The pseudo-intellectual made the remarks during an interview with far-left entertainer Trevor Noah, who compared during the same interview Islamic terrorists to America’s Founding Fathers. During the podcast, in which Coates made numerous false claims, he said that he thinks “a lot” about whether he would be “strong enough” to resist the urge to participate in the October 7 massacre, in which 1,200 people were brutally murdered, if he had been born in Gaza. “Am I also strong enough or even constructed in such a way where I say this is too far?” he asked. “I don’t know that I am.” Thousands of people expressed shock at Coates’ extremist remarks as clips of the remarks were viewed tens of millions of times across social media. Ta-Nehisi Coates suggests he’s not above taking part in an October 7-style attack: “And I grow up under that oppression and that poverty and the wall comes down. Am I also strong enough or even constructed in such a way where I say this is too far, I don’t know that I am.” pic.twitter.com/KTXALjCyM2 — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) October 10, 2024 “Ta-Nehisi Coates is not above raping young women at a music festival in the name of ‘resistance,'” said Columbia professor Shai Davidai. “That’s the headline. Everything else is commentary.” National security expert David Reaboi posted on X: “Lotta people are misunderstanding this, because they can’t imagine how someone like Coates thinks. Hamas’ grotesque slaughter on October 7th is THE REASON why he supports the Palestinians. They are doing to Jews what he wants to do to Whites.” Writer Dan McLaughlin posted on X: “If Coates was a German in 1943, would he have been an extermination camp guard? There’s not the slightest indication anywhere in his career that he wouldn’t.” Professor Gad Saad wrote: “What a morally bankrupt individual. Never mind the false examples. Israel operated on the brain of one of Hamas’ leaders and saved his life (he had a tumour). He thanked them by organizing October 7th.” “I don’t think he understands what launching a race war on the majority population would mean,” said attorney Kurt Schlichter. “It’s quite literally insane. This is a bad person and he should be scorned by all decent folks.” Writer Noah Pollak posted on X: “The worst part of this clip isn’t him saying he’d participate in the mass-murder of Israeli women and children; it’s his blatant lies about Israel that he uses to justify why he’d become a terrorist.” Coates has been at the center of a scandal at CBS News, after employees objected to anchor Tony Dokoupil’s questioning of Coates about his stance on Israel. At one point, Dokoupil told Coates: “I have to say, when I read the book, I imagine if I took your name out of it, took away the awards, the acclaim, took the cover off the book, publishing house goes away, the content of that section would not be out of place in the backpack of an extremist.” Now, amid the network’s denigration of Dokoupil, Coates has admitted he may have gone along with the extremists who slaughtered Israelis on October 7, 2023.

New York City’s ongoing migrant crisis has hit taxpayers hard, with Mayor Eric Adams' administration set to spend over $2.3 billion on hotel accommodations for migrants through 2025. This staggering amount comes as the city's Department of Homeless Services (DHS) seeks contracts for an additional 14,000 hotel rooms to provide temporary shelter. Since 2021, the city has been grappling with the influx of migrants, and critics argue that the current approach is unsustainable. The total cost for housing migrants is projected to reach $5.76 billion over three years, much of which will be spent on hotel stays. Approximately 150 hotels are already housing migrants, and with nightly room rates averaging $352, the financial burden on the city continues to grow. Hotels are receiving about $130 per room directly, which has been a lifeline for properties with low occupancy rates, particularly in the outer boroughs​. The Roosevelt Hotel NYC.

Nicole Gelinas, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, voiced concerns over the long-term sustainability of this approach. She emphasized that “the taxpayers can’t pay for this indefinitely” and called for Governor Kathy Hochul to take charge of the situation. Gelinas also highlighted the negative impact on the tourism industry, particularly in high-demand areas like Midtown and downtown Manhattan, where many hotels have been converted into shelters. She argued that hotels should no longer be used as long-term housing for migrants, especially in prime tourist spots​. NYC seeking 14,000 hotel rooms to shelter migrants through 2025 — as housing costs set to surpass $2.3B https://t.co/fVd080HHsi pic.twitter.com/SLlw20M39Y — New York Post (@nypost) October 10, 2024 Mayor Adams, who has been under increasing political pressure, faces growing discontent over his administration's handling of the crisis. While he continues to push for solutions to accommodate the surge of migrants, critics say the city’s financial strain is becoming unbearable. The migrant crisis has also brought calls for federal intervention, as Adams has repeatedly asked for more aid from the federal government, citing that the city alone cannot bear the burden. Meanwhile, some hotel owners have benefited from the influx of city contracts, creating a steady revenue stream at a time when tourism remains inconsistent. Vijay Dandapani, president of the New York City Hotel Association, confirmed that the organization has three existing contracts with the city and is prepared to expand its involvement through 2025. Despite the pushback, the city remains committed to providing shelter for migrants as the humanitarian crisis persists. Adams has warned that the total cost of the migrant crisis could balloon to $12 billion by the summer of 2025 if the city continues receiving new arrivals at the current pace. This figure would include other services provided to migrants, such as medical care, food, and legal aid​. Many city officials agree that, without significant changes in how the crisis is managed, New Yorkers will continue to feel the financial pinch. As the situation unfolds, both Adams and critics agree that a long-term solution is needed. Whether it's building permanent housing or receiving federal aid, the city will need to find a way to manage this crisis without further draining public resources. With contracts set to extend well into 2025, the debate over how to handle the migrant crisis is likely to intensify in the coming months.

Nature is incredible, and it can also be scary. As we have learned in the last few weeks, severe weather can change our lives in the blink of an eye. It’s important that we take as many precautions as we can during a storm. But sometimes, there is nothing we can do. Thankfully, there are dedicated and talented first responders who can save us when we need them. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Fox News (@foxnews) Video Shows An Incredible Coast Guard Rescue After Hurricane Milton Fox News shared the footage on Instagram of a boat captain who Hurricane Milton took for a ride. The caption reads: “Dramatic video captures the moment the Coast Guard saves a boat captain holding on for dear life to a cooler after he was knocked off his fishing vessel and swept into the waters by Hurricane Milton.” The man was stranded in the ocean, floating on top of a cooler, just hoping that someone would come along and help. The Coast Guard showed up with a helicopter and dropped a responder into the water, who brought him to safety. It is incredible to see the rescue and to think the man survived in the treacherous water alone. Plenty of people felt the man’s survival was great advertising. “Awesome job! And one hell of a Yeti commercial!” This person joked, “Bet he kept thinking, are they coming YETI? But till they do igloo -d to this.” The rescue must have made him feel so good. “Imagine the great relief this man’s soul experienced when he saw the guard coast coming.” This person praised the Coast Guard for its help. “The USCG produces the best of the best when conducting rescues. They are true heroes and should be recognized for it.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

News Manhunt Lilly Wachowski Is Adapting Gretchen Felker-Martin’s Manhunt for Television Wachowski revealed the project in an interview with Autostraddle By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on October 11, 2024 Credit: Lilly Wachowski – Christa Holka Comment 0 Share New Share Credit: Lilly Wachowski – Christa Holka The horror novel Manhunt by Gretchen Felker-Martin is getting the adaptation treatment by none other than Lilly Wachowski, the writer-director who, with her sibling, was behind The Matrix films as well as Speed Racer and the Netflix series Sense8. In an interview with Autostraddle, Wachowski shared that she is involved in an adaptation of Manhunt, something that Felker-Martin confirmed via social media. “The cat’s out of the bag, baby,” the author posted on X. “I’m adapting MANHUNT for TV with Lilly Wachowski, and I couldn’t be prouder or more excited to be writing it. We’re going to do our damnedest to bring this thing kicking, screaming, and queer as hell onto the screen.” Manhunt is a post-apocalyptic tale where a virus transforms anyone with certain levels of testosterone into “feral men.” Here’s the book’s blurb, and you can also read the first chapter of the book here: Beth and Fran spend their days traveling the ravaged New England coast, hunting feral men and harvesting their organs in a gruesome effort to ensure they’ll never face the same fate.Robbie lives by his gun and one hard-learned motto: other people aren’t safe.After a brutal accident entwines the three of them, this found family of survivors must navigate murderous TERFs, a sociopathic billionaire bunker brat, and awkward relationship dynamics―all while outrunning packs of feral men, and their own demons. It sounds like the project is still in its early days, so no news yet on where the adaptation might end up or potentially go into production.
