Racist Serial New York Spitter Gets a Heavy Dose of Street Justice with Viral Beating

A man identified by social media users as 45-year-old Anthony Caines, who was arrested in November for allegedly spitting in the faces of white women in Williamsburg, was shown in a video being beaten by two unidentified men.

The footage circulated online and appeared to show Caines on a sidewalk outside a hair salon on Sixth Street.

The video, which did not include a timestamp, showed two men striking and kicking a man curled on the ground in a defensive position.

The attackers’ faces were not visible.

The man on the ground appeared to match photos of Caines from his recent arrest.

In the footage, the two men laughed as they kicked him and stomped on his legs.

Caines could be heard crying out in pain during the assault.

The video then cut to a close-up showing a large gash on his forehead above his left eye.

Blood ran down his face as the men gave him a warning.

“Stop violating these females out here, you heard?” the man recording said.

“We’re tired of that sh*t. You’re making us look bad.”

Caines responded, “I went to jail, didn’t I?”

One of the men replied, “F**k jail — we’re worse than jail,” before striking him again.

Caines was arrested by the NYPD on November 13 following reports that he repeatedly spit in the faces of white women walking past him in Williamsburg.

Court records obtained by The New York Post said he pleaded not guilty to charges including aggravated harassment based on race or religion.

He was released the following day with an ankle monitor.

The Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office has said it is seeking additional victims who may not yet have made reports.

Caines’ alleged spitting incidents drew extensive attention earlier in the month, prompting investigators to request that anyone targeted contact authorities.

The NYPD said it did not receive a report regarding the assault shown in the video.

Investigators have not confirmed when or where the beating took place, and no arrests related to the recorded assault have been announced.

Over $1 Billion: Tim Walz’s Minnesota ‘A Hub of Fraudulent Money Laundering Activity’

Minnesota officials are contending with extensive fraud across multiple publicly funded programs, with authorities reporting more than $1 billion stolen from initiatives designed to feed children, support the homeless, and provide autism therapy.

Federal prosecutors say the fraud spans several years and involves dozens of defendants, many of whom operated within Somali communities in the state.

According to reporting cited by The New York Times, individuals ran companies that billed Minnesota for millions of dollars in services that were never provided.

Federal prosecutors said that of the 86 people charged, 59 have been convicted so far across three separate fraud cases.

One major case focused on the nonprofit Feeding Our Future, which reported that it served tens of thousands of meals to low-income children during the pandemic.

Prosecutors said most of those meals did not exist and that funds instead went toward luxury homes, cars, jewelry, and international real estate.

Joseph H. Thompson, the federal prosecutor who oversaw the cases, told The Times, “No one will support these programs if they continue to be riddled with fraud. We’re losing our way of life in Minnesota in a very real way.”

President Donald Trump commented on the scale of the situation, criticizing Governor Tim Walz and saying the state had become “a hub of fraudulent money laundering activity.”

He also said the individuals responsible should be “sent back to where they came from.”

President Trump later said he would revoke temporary protected status for approximately 700 Somali nationals who currently hold it.

On Thanksgiving, he referred to Walz as “seriously retarded,” and also directed criticism at Rep. Ilhan Omar, who has represented Minnesota’s 5th District since 2019.

Walz said his administration prioritized rapid distribution of aid during the pandemic.

“The programs are set up to move the money to people,” Walz told The Times.

“The programs are set up to improve people’s lives, and in many cases, the criminals find the loopholes.”

Seeking a third term next year, Walz has established a new task force to address fraud and announced plans to incorporate AI tools to flag questionable transactions.

“The message here in Minnesota,” Walz said, “is if you commit a crime, if you commit fraud against public dollars, you are going to go to prison.”

Lisa Demuth, a Republican and Minnesota House speaker, is running against Walz in the upcoming governor’s race.

She said Walz raised taxes while allowing fraud to “run wild.”

The state has also been shutting down its housing initiative in recent months.

Walz said the program could not be salvaged.

One housing program expanded rapidly from an initial projection of $2.6 million to $104 million, driven largely by fraudulent billing.

Hundreds of providers were reimbursed for services that prosecutors say never occurred.

Another program intended to provide therapy to autistic children was also implicated.

Prosecutors said that providers targeted children in Minneapolis’s Somali community and falsely certified them as eligible for autism services.

Parents were allegedly paid kickbacks in exchange for participation and silence.

Members of Minnesota’s Somali community, estimated at about 80,000 people, said the revelations have harmed their reputation.

“The actions of a small group have made it easier for people already inclined to reject us to double down,” Abdi Mohamed, a Minneapolis filmmaker, told The Times.

Rep. Omar said, “We do not blame the lawlessness of an individual on a whole community.”

Critics of Walz argued that state employees hesitated to intervene because they were wary of alienating Somali residents and concerned about pursuing suspects based on race, according to The New York Times.

In 2020, as the Minnesota Department of Education processed a surge of applications for new pandemic feeding sites, staff questioned invoices for meals purportedly served to tens of thousands of children.

Feeding Our Future, the largest nonprofit involved, warned that delaying approvals for “minority-owned businesses” could trigger a lawsuit accusing the state of racism.

State officials backed down. Feeding Our Future filed suit anyway, and despite ongoing concerns, the agency continued approving sites and reimbursing invoices for months.

Anti-ICE Rioters Trap Officers, Snarl Traffic, and Clash With NYPD in Manhattan

Police responded to a major disruption outside a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in New York City after protesters created roadblocks that prevented federal agents from leaving a government garage.

The incident occurred near the U.S. General Service Administration building on Centre Street, according to information provided to the New York Post by the New York Police Department.

The disturbance began when a large group of protesters blocked access points to the garage that ICE agents had entered.

The NYPD said officers were dispatched after a 911 call reported protesters obstructing the area.

When police arrived, they encountered barriers built from trash and other objects placed across the street, which prevented vehicles from exiting the facility.

Some individuals climbed the exterior of the garage and attempted to look inside while chanting “ICE out of New York! ICE out now!”

Police said several people were arrested on charges of obstructing government administration and disorderly conduct.

Officers issued repeated instructions for the crowd to disperse, but those orders were ignored by many in the group.

Protesters also carried potted plants and other heavy items, some of which were thrown toward police lines.

One protester speaking to the New York Post said, “There were people climbing up trying to see who ICE had inside. They were arresting people for no reason.”

Others clashed with officers as they attempted to construct metal barricades outside the facility’s entry points.

Additional protesters stood in the middle of Centre Street in attempts to block traffic.

Some in the crowd directed criticism at police for preventing them from stopping federal officers from leaving.

“It’s not right what they’re doing,” said Peter Suh of New Jersey, who told the outlet he was visiting New York City with his family.

“People should be left alone to protest.”

An Australian tourist described the interactions between protesters and police as forceful.

“A lot of people were shoved to the ground,” she said.

The unrest follows recent statements from President Donald Trump regarding immigration enforcement in New York City.

The president has said federal immigration operations will intensify in the city following the election of Zohran Mamdani, who has described himself as a socialist.

Mamdani and President Trump met at the White House, though Mamdani has publicly committed to “resist” deportation efforts and to position New York City as a sanctuary aligned with what he described as “international law.”

In response to the mayor’s position, the Trump Administration has said deportation operations will be expanded in the region.

The situation outside the ICE facility unfolded amid these broader developments concerning federal and local approaches to immigration policy in New York City.

Stephen Miller’s Wife Katie Takes on CNN’s Abby Phillip in Heated ‘Nazi’ Exchange

Conservative podcaster Katie Miller challenged “CNN NewsNight” host Abby Phillip on Friday, arguing that Phillip allowed a guest to call her husband, White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller, a “white supremacist.”

The exchange began after former Democratic South Carolina State Rep. Bakari Sellers discussed white nationalist Nick Fuentes being interviewed by Tucker Carlson.

Katie Miller, who served in the Trump administration, responded after Sellers questioned her directly.

“Are you okay with Nick Fuentes?” Sellers asked.

Miller replied, “Here we go. I’m a Jew. Do you want to go there? And let’s say this— ”

Sellers continued pressing the question.

“Yes, I just asked the question. It was ‘yes’ or ‘no’. Are you okay with Nick Fuentes?”

Miller answered, “If Nick Fuentes wants to be able to speak freely in our country, he has every right to do so. Do I agree with his views? … Absolutely not.”

Phillip then entered the discussion as the back-and-forth escalated.

Miller turned her focus to the host, saying, “You host people on your show all the time who call my husband and myself a Nazi.”

Phillip began to respond, saying, “That is a different thing, by the way, that— ” before Miller interjected.

“Excuse me, you have Jennifer Welch on your show very often and you’ve never pushed back as she has called my husband a white nationalist,” Miller said.

Welch, a left-leaning podcast host and former reality television figure, labeled Stephen Miller a “white supremacist” and a “Nazi Jew” during Phillip’s October 23 appearance on Welch’s podcast, “I’ve Had It.”

Phillip did not challenge Welch’s statements during that episode.

The exchange continued, with conservative panelist Scott Jennings and Miller both describing Fuentes’s views as “hateful.”

Miller returned to her original criticism. “Let’s go back one more time,” she said.

“Nick Fuentes can espouse an opinion on Tucker’s show and he didn’t push back, the same way you didn’t push back when someone called someone in my family a Nazi.”

The discussion also referenced prior incidents involving the Millers.

The couple moved from their home in Arlington, Virginia following repeated acts of targeted harassment.

Messages such as “Stephen Miller is destroying democracy,” “no white nationalism,” and “trans rights are human rights” appeared on public sidewalks near the residence.

Flyers listing the home address were also posted.

The segment ended without resolution between Miller and Phillip, with both maintaining their positions regarding on-air responsibilities and guest commentary.

Another Afghan National Biden Let In Arrested Over ‘Terror Plot’ in Texas

The Department of Homeland Security confirmed that an Afghan national arrested in Texas on Tuesday for an alleged bomb threat entered the United States through the Biden-Harris administration’s Operation Allies Welcome program.

The arrest took place one day before an attack in Washington, D.C. that involved another Afghan national who entered under the same program.

Texas Department of Public Safety officers arrested Mohammad Dawood Alokozay after he posted a TikTok video in which he claimed he was building a bomb, according to Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin.

In a Saturday post on X, McLaughlin said Alokozay made threats against the Fort Worth area.

“Just one day before the Terrorist attack against our @NationalGuard, another Afghan national who was paroled into the United States under Biden’s Operation Allies Welcome was arrested for threatening to blow up a building in Fort Worth,” McLaughlin posted.

“Mohammad Dawood Alokozay posted a video of himself on TikTok indicating he was building a bomb with an intended target of the Fort Worth area,” McLaughlin continued.

“He was arrested on Tuesday by the Texas Department of Public Safety and FBI JTTF and charged with making Terroristic Threats. @ICEgov has lodged a detainer.”

Authorities said Alokozay was taken into custody by the Texas Department of Public Safety and the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force.

Federal officials stated that Immigration and Customs Enforcement has placed a detainer on him.

Both Alokozay and Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the suspect accused of carrying out the Washington, D.C. shooting that killed West Virginia National Guard Specialist Sarah Beckstrom and critically wounded West Virginia Air National Guard Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe, arrived in the United States through Operation Allies Welcome.

The program was launched after the U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan.

The shooting in Washington occurred near the White House.

Beckstrom and Wolfe, members of the West Virginia National Guard and West Virginia Air National Guard, were on duty when they were attacked.

Federal officials said both Guardsmen were deputized Thursday by the United States Marshals Service under CFR Title 28.

The designation allows personnel to act as deputy U.S. Marshals for a limited period of time.

President Donald Trump ordered National Guard deployments to Washington after his August 11 announcement of a federal takeover of the Metropolitan Police Department.

The announcement followed an attempted carjacking that left Department of Government Efficiency staffer Edward Coristine injured.

Federal authorities have maintained that the deployment is part of broader efforts to stabilize conditions in the capital and support ongoing public safety operations.

The investigation into both incidents remains ongoing. Federal agencies have not released further details regarding any connection between the Fort Worth bomb threat and the Washington shooting.

Authorities continue to review the circumstances surrounding the suspects’ entry into the United States through Operation Allies Welcome.

Trump Declares All Biden Autopen-Signed Documents ‘Terminated’ After Internal Emails Surface

President Donald Trump on Friday announced that any document or executive action signed by former President Joe Biden using an autopen is now void, citing newly released internal communications showing Biden did not personally review or approve thousands of official acts during his presidency, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.

In a statement posted to Truth Social, President Trump declared, “Any document signed by Sleepy Joe Biden with the Autopen, which was approximately 92% of them, is hereby terminated, and of no further force or effect. The Autopen is not allowed to be used if approval is not specifically given by the President of the United States.”

WASHINGTON – February 22, 2025: President Donald Trump arrives at the White House South Lawn on Marine One after his visit to CPAC.

Trump said Biden’s aides took over decision-making near the end of his term. “The Radical Left Lunatics circling Biden around the beautiful Resolute Desk in the Oval Office took the Presidency away from him,” Trump wrote.

“I am hereby cancelling all Executive Orders, and anything else that was not directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden, because the people who operated the Autopen did so illegally. Joe Biden was not involved in the Autopen process and, if he says he was, he will be brought up on charges of perjury. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Trump’s declaration follows the release of internal emails confirming Biden did not review or approve thousands of pardons issued at the end of his presidency.

According to those emails, Biden’s staff chose which individuals would receive pardons and signed them using the autopen without receiving Biden’s direct input.

The emails also indicated that Biden did not personally approve revisions made to the final list of inmates. Instead, the updated list was reportedly processed through the autopen by staff members without Biden signing off.

The White House Counsel’s Office has opened an investigation into the autopen controversy and is expected to review more than one million documents as part of the inquiry.

The Oversight Project, which first uncovered the practice, previously revealed that thousands of clemency decisions and executive actions were executed using an autopen rather than Biden’s physical signature.

Earlier this year, the organization reported that six individuals were pardoned by autopen on December 30, 2022, while Biden was vacationing and golfing in St. Croix.

Federal investigators have not yet released a timeline for completing their review of the autopen records, and it remains unclear how many total documents will be implicated by the internal email disclosures.

‘Shut the F*ck Up’: White House Comms Director Puts Liberal Reporter in Her Place

The Trump White House responded forcefully after a reporter attempted to link President Trump to the shooting of two West Virginia National Guard members in Washington, DC. The exchange unfolded after a violent attack carried out by Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan national who entered the United States in September 2021 following Joe Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal.

Officials confirmed that he overstayed his visa and was in the country illegally at the time of the shooting.

Lakanwal ambushed two members of the West Virginia National Guard on Wednesday, shooting them at close range in Washington, DC.

Both service members had been deployed to bolster safety measures in the nation’s capital.

Authorities later revealed that Lakanwal previously worked with the CIA as part of a partner force in Kandahar, Afghanistan, before entering the United States during the 2021 evacuation period.

 

The two guardsmen were identified as Sarah Beckstrom and Andrew Wolfe.

Beckstrom died from her injuries, while Wolfe remains in critical condition.

The attack prompted widespread concern about how Lakanwal entered and remained in the country, but a public debate broke out after a journalist attempted to assign responsibility to President Trump rather than the attacker.

Jane Mayer, a staff writer at The New Yorker, publicly criticized the deployment of National Guard members to Washington, DC.

Her comments appeared on X, where she wrote that the guardsmen “should never have been deployed.”

Mayer said, “This is so tragic, so unnecessary, these poor guardsmen should never have been deployed. I live in DC and watched as they had virtually nothing to do but pick up trash. It was for political show and at what a cost.”

Her post suggested the deployment, rather than the attacker, was the central issue surrounding the incident.

The comments drew an immediate and forceful reply from Steven Cheung, President Trump’s White House Communications Director.

Cheung challenged the attempt to politicize the attack and defended the decision to assign National Guard members to the area.

He wrote, “Jane, respectfully, shut the f**k up for trying to politicize this tragedy. They were protecting DC and trying to make the nation’s capital safer. People like you who engage in ghoulish behavior lose all credibility. Not like you had any to begin with.”

The shooting took place after a year marked by national security concerns stemming from individuals who arrived in the United States during and after the Biden-Harris administration’s Afghanistan withdrawal.

According to information released about Lakanwal, he overstayed his temporary status and remained inside the country unlawfully until the day of the attack.

Authorities have not released additional details about his movements within the United States before the shooting, but the confirmation of his unlawful presence became a focal point in statements following the incident.

The deaths and injuries of the West Virginia National Guard members led to renewed scrutiny of the circumstances surrounding Lakanwal’s arrival in September 2021.

At the time, thousands of Afghan nationals were brought into the United States under emergency conditions. Lakanwal’s connection to a CIA partner force in Kandahar was also confirmed as part of the information released about his background.

Beckstrom’s death and Wolfe’s critical injuries prompted an outpouring of support for the families of both service members.

Their deployment to the nation’s capital was part of broader security efforts ordered under President Trump.

The circumstances of the attack brought renewed attention to those security measures and the responsibilities assigned to National Guard personnel stationed in Washington.

Cheung’s response to Mayer highlighted the broader disagreement over how the events should be interpreted.

While Mayer focused on the decision to deploy the Guard, Cheung rejected the idea that the deployment itself had any connection to the attack, pointing instead to the actions of the attacker and the conditions allowing him to remain in the United States.

Kamala Harris ROASTED After Posting Thanksgiving Collard Greens Cooking Video

Vice President Kamala Harris faced widespread online criticism Thursday after posting a TikTok video showing herself preparing collard greens for Thanksgiving alongside her nieces, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.

The short clip, which Harris shared during the holiday, quickly drew reactions referencing her past comments about how she prepares the dish.

In the video, Harris says, “We are preparing collard greens!” before continuing her holiday cooking demonstration.

The post sparked renewed discussion about remarks Harris made last year while speaking to a voter in Georgia during the 2024 campaign cycle. At the time, she said she used to clean collard greens in the bathtub.

“I have a friend who had a Christmas party, Christmas Eve every year, and she asked me to make the greens for a party every year. And I am not lying to you that I would make so many greens that I’d need to wash them in the bathtub. I’m telling you the truth,” Harris told a black voter in 2024.

During that same exchange, Harris told the voter she uses Tabasco sauce to give her greens additional flavor and said she based her method in part on family tradition. She said her grandmother prepared collard greens with bacon, garlic, and white vinegar.

“My grandma used to put bacon. She used to put garlic. I put white vinegar. So I start with… I slice up My garlic. But first I fry, chop up the bacon and get all that fat going. Then I put garlic, some chili peppers, and then a lot of water, and a little chicken stock. And I let it go for a while before I put the greens in. And then, right? So you get that going and all that flavor. And then I put the greens in for a couple of hours. Then I do vinegar, and then I cheat and do a little Tabasco,” Harris said.

Harris also told the voter that she prefers “Louisiana hot” and added, “Yeah, because Tabasco, I like Louisiana hot. Tabasco has that right amount of vinegar. So that’s how I do my green.”

Harris grew up in Canada with an Indian mother, a detail critics revisited after the TikTok video circulated.

Social media users reacted quickly to Harris’ Thanksgiving post, with many questioning the authenticity of her presentation.

Comments posted across multiple platforms included, “Kamala’s cooking is as authentic as her political career. Show’s over, folks,” and “Those are some wilted ass collards. I won’t even feed greens that wilted to my bearded dragon. No one is eating those.” Another user wrote, “Nothing warms your heart like a good old-fashioned ethnic charade.”

The Vice President’s office did not issue a statement regarding the online reaction to the video. Harris continued posting holiday-themed content throughout the day.

Trump Floats Eliminating Income Tax as Tariff Revenue Sets New Record High in October

President Donald Trump said Thursday that the United States may “completely” cut federal income taxes in the coming years, stating that tariff revenue could be large enough to replace the current system.

Trump made the remarks during his Thanksgiving address, where he outlined what he described as a major shift in how the federal government could collect revenue.

“The next couple of years I think we’ll be substantially cutting, and maybe cutting out completely, but we’ll be cutting income tax. Could be almost completely cutting it because the money we’re going to be taking in is so large. Other countries have been ripping us off for many years,” Trump said.

His comments followed earlier statements made throughout 2024, during which he proposed returning the country to a tax structure centered on tariffs rather than income taxes.

Trump has raised the possibility of eliminating the federal income tax several times over the past year.

In October, CNN reported that he discussed the idea with barbers in the Bronx. According to that report, Trump said, “There is a way, if what I’m planning comes out,” and added, “In the 1890s … it had all tariffs. It didn’t have an income tax.”

Those remarks drew attention to historical periods when tariffs served as the primary source of federal revenue, before the modern income tax system was created in the early 20th century.

The concept resurfaced days later during Trump’s appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience.

In that interview, Rogan asked about the prospect of replacing the federal income tax with tariffs.

Trump responded, “Yeah, sure, why not?”

Thursday’s Thanksgiving address marked the first time Trump suggested a specific timeline, stating that the next “couple of years” could bring substantial reductions or a near-total removal of federal income taxes.

The proposal relies on the idea that increased tariffs on imported goods would produce enough federal revenue to offset the elimination of income tax collections.

Trump’s statements throughout 2024 have referenced the late 19th century, when the federal government relied heavily on tariffs.

The modern federal income tax system was introduced after the ratification of the 16th Amendment in 1913, establishing a national tax on individual earnings.

Trump pointed to earlier periods as examples of how the government operated without income taxes, though he did not outline a specific tariff structure in his recent comments.

During his Thanksgiving remarks, Trump reiterated his view that foreign countries have benefitted from trade imbalances and that tariffs would serve as a corrective measure.

He argued that the revenue generated under a new tariff system could be significant enough to replace the federal income tax.

While discussing the potential shift, he said the money taken in from tariffs would be “so large” that it could allow the government to move away from the current tax structure.

Trump’s comments have drawn periodic attention as he continues to promote the idea of tariff-based revenue.

His statements in October and during his appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience showed a consistent message about exploring alternatives to federal income taxes.

The Thanksgiving address provided additional clarity on the timeline he envisions for such changes, though no further specifics were provided regarding implementation details or any legislative steps.

Trump’s remarks represent the latest in a series of discussions about the possibility of reducing or eliminating income taxes.

His Thanksgiving comments were consistent with his earlier statements but included the suggestion that significant changes could occur within the next few years under a tariff-based system.
