[FoxNews] Jordan Neely, 30, had long history of violent attacks on subway riders
A mother and son hid behind a stroller and a high school student prayed as Jordan Neely yelled "someone is going to die today" before he was placed in a fatal chokehold inside a packed NYC subway train, new court papers revealed.
A woman described the erratic homeless man's demeanor on May 1 as "sickening" and "satanic." She allegedly said she believed she "was going to die" as Neely approached her and called the confrontation "absolutely traumatizing."
The details were disclosed publicly for the first time in a motion to dismiss the charges against Marine veteran Daniel Penny, who's accused of choking Neely to death in an effort to protect other passengers.
The court papers cite testimony from more than a dozen witnesses who were called by prosecutors to testify before the grand jury that indicted Penny, 24, on one count each of second-degree manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide.
A campaign to raise money for Penny's legal defense on GiveSendGo has amassed over $2.9 million.
Penny previously told Fox News Digital in an interview that he doesn't regret his actions, which have turned his life upside down and thrust him into the public spotlight.
"If [Neely] had carried out his threats, he would have killed somebody," Penny said.
If convicted, Penny faces five to 15 years in prison. A spokesperson for the Manhattan District Attorney's Office declined to comment.
[MAIL] Former President Barack Obama issued a statement about the Hamas terror attacks on Israel 72 hours after they first occurred.
Early Monday evening, a statement was released on Obama's X (formerly Twitter) account condemning the violence that has left some 900 Israelis dead and thousands injured.
'All Americans should be horrified and outraged by the brazen terrorist attacks on Israel and the slaughter of innocent civilians,' wrote the 44th president.
'We grieve for those who died, pray for the safe return of those who’ve been held hostage, and stand squarely alongside our ally, Israel, as it dismantles Hamas.
'As we support Israel’s right to defend itself against terror, we must keep striving for a just and lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians alike,' he concluded.
The Obama Administration had an infamously rocky relationship with the US's closest ally. President Obama himself and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were not close, and there was tension over the brokerage of the Iran nuclear deal - a passion project of Obama's team.
Gareth Jones, an ambitious Welsh journalist, travelled to the Soviet Union in 1933 and uncovered the appalling truth behind the Soviet "utopia".

Biden just gave a pretty good statement about an hour ago.
Pretty good except for any acknowledgement of the role of Iran and the early 2021 resumption of large scale US $ to the PA

*Bleep* me, I agree with Barack Obama on something!
While I expect we would quibble over the exact meaning of 'dismantle Hamas' and how much of Gaza gets bulldozed into the Med, it's still a sign of the End Times.
[GEO.TV] President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Joe's wife and daughter weren't killed by a drunk driver. He didn't graduate with three or even two degrees, wasn't in the top half of his law class, and his daddy didn't come home from a hard day's work in the mines and play football with the guys. The NAACP hasn't endorsed him every time he's run.... voluntarily submitted to an interview as part of an ongoing investigation into the handling of classified documents.
The investigation, led by Special Counsel Robert Hur, delves into the circumstances surrounding classified documents found at Biden's former private office and his home.
The White House confirmed the interview, emphasising their commitment to cooperation and transparency in the investigation. Biden's interview spanned two days, concluding on Monday.
According to Ian Sams, a spokesperson for the White House counsel's office, the administration is determined to provide relevant updates while safeguarding the investigation's integrity.
This probe stems from concerns raised regarding classified documents that date back to Biden's tenure as vice president under President Barack Obama If you like your coverage you can keep it... . The controversy first surfaced when documents were discovered in a private think tank office in Washington in November 2022. Subsequently, more documents were uncovered in Biden's garage in Wilmington, Delaware, on December 20, and in his home library on January 12.
The investigation has drawn parallels with a separate case involving former President Donald Trump ...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party... , who is facing trial over alleged mishandling of classified documents following his departure from office. Special Counsel Jack Smith alleges that Trump removed classified documents to his Mar-A-Lago estate in Florida and declined to return them.
Trump has pleaded not guilty "Wudn't me." to charges of unlawfully retaining national defense information, conspiracy to obstruct justice, and making false statements. His trial is anticipated in 2024.
The Biden administration has been navigating multiple legal challenges, with Republicans drawing connections between the Trump and Biden document cases. Additionally, Biden's son, Hunter Biden, is the subject of another special counsel investigation concerning tax fraud and gun possession.
While these investigations unfold, they underscore the importance of maintaining the integrity of classified information and the legal scrutiny that ensues when such matters are called into question. Biden's cooperation with Special Counsel Robert Hur's investigation demonstrates a commitment to transparency and accountability in the highest levels of government.

[GEO.TV] Robert F. Kennedy Jr announced Monday that he is running for the White House as an independent candidate, opting out of the Democratic party nomination as the struggle for the victory in 2024 intensified.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr — who is also regarded as an anti-vaccine conspirator — is likely to cut former President Donald Trump ...The man who was so stupid he beat fourteen professional politicians, a former tech CEO, and a brain surgeon for the Republican nomination in 2016, then beat The Smartest Woman in the World in the general election... 's votes, according to analysts, posing more threat to the billionaire than Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Joe's wife and daughter weren't killed by a drunk driver. He didn't graduate with three or even two degrees, wasn't in the top half of his law class, and his daddy didn't come home from a hard day's work in the mines and play football with the guys. The NAACP hasn't endorsed him every time he's run.... .
It is stated that the main competitors of the 2024 presidential polls will be Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
But in a tight race, a third-party candidate siphoning even a few votes from the 80-year-old Biden in battleground states could be bad news for the Democrat.
Analysts also state that a long-time spreader of misinformation about public health and a darling of the right-wing US media would take more votes away from the Republican forerunner. "Analysts say" = Democrats whistling past the graveyard
"I've come here today to declare our independence from the tyranny of corruption which robs us of affordable lives, our belief in the future and our respect for each other," the son of Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of John F. Kennedy told supporters in Philadelphia.
"But to do that, I must first declare my own independence: Independence from the Democratic Party ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... , from all other political parties."
The 69-year-old former environmental lawyer has long identified as a Democrat and invoked his assassinated father in an anecdote about the 1968 campaign trail.
[DAILYWIRE] Sen. Cory Spartacus Booker U.S. Senator-for-Life from Noo Joisey, formerly the mayor of Newark. Booker was a candidate for president in the 2020 Dem primary, running on a platform of Make America Newark. He once wrote an essay on how to grope babes and is noted for having an imaginary friend named T-Bone... (D-NJ) has departed Israel after taking shelter in the country when Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, launched a surprise attack from Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... this weekend, his office announced on Sunday.
A member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Booker had traveled to the country in part to deliver a speech at an event marking the deals brokered by the Trump administration to normalize relations between Israel and Arab nations.
"On Friday, October 6, Senator Booker arrived in Israel for several days of planned meetings and site visits ahead of the start of an Abraham Accords-focused N7 summit on regional economic integration in Tel Aviv, at which he was scheduled to speak on Tuesday," said Booker’s spokesperson Maya Krishna-Rogers.
"Fiercely Heterosexual Senator Booker and accompanying staff were in Jerusalem when Hamas launched their attacks against Israel on Saturday, and sheltered in place for their safety. We are grateful that Senator Booker and our colleagues were able to safely depart Israel earlier today," the statement added.
Booker later posted a short video to X in which he personally shared details about his experience.

Interesting that Booker was in Jerusalem; I did not realize that he was Jewish.

Senator Booker is not Jewish, Super Hose. He just likes being seen going to Israel — it helps with fundraising and offsets some of the other things he says and does. If Rep. Ilhan Omar were clever enough to do the same, she’d get a free ride for being an open tool of the Muslim Brotherhood.

He made an early call. It was a dumb one. Good to know that he has the same social media tactics as Bruce Jenners daughter. It would be nice to just ignore him, but he is the bag man for the newest Iranian payoff.
