New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) made his first remarks in public on Thursday after the federal indictment against him was unsealed and law enforcement officials raided his home. Adams, who faces decades behind bars if convicted, was charged in a sprawling corruption probe that alleged he acted as an official of a foreign power, accepted bribes, committed fraud, and conspired to commit all the crimes. “I want to thank you for being here this morning, and I want to thank the supporters of all ethnic groups that are here, particularly the men and women of the clergy that’s here that have joined me here today,” he told a group of supporters at a press conference. “And we are not surprised. We expected this. This is not surprising to us at all. The actions that have unfolded over the last 10 months, the leaks, the commentary, the demonizing. This did not surprise us that we reached this day.” He asked that New Yorkers wait to pass judgment until they have heard his side of the story. Am I Racist?

I will continue to do the job for 8.3 million New Yorkers that I was elected to do. And the 300,000 plus employees of our city government will continue to do their jobs, because this is what we do as New Yorkers.” He said that it was an insult to the people of the city that people were claiming that he and his administration would be unable to do their jobs while the case moves forward. “They are dedicated public servants, and I have been one of them for many years, and they are going to continue to do their job, moving the city forward every day,” he added. “It’s an unfortunate day and it’s a painful day.” WATCH: “I ask to wait and hear our side to this narrative.” New York City Mayor Eric Adams responds to the indictment against him. pic.twitter.com/6WW9Z2cBdq — NEWSMAX (@NEWSMAX) September 26, 2024

Media outlets are touting a national law enforcement group’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris, with a prominent New Jersey news source claiming that Harris received an endorsement from a “group that normally backs Trump.” The group, Police Leaders for Community Safety, does not “normally back” Trump because it was created in June 2024. Fox News was the first to report the endorsement, calling the organization a “leading law enforcement group” even though the group is only a few months old. The group told Spectrum News in June that it is made up of mostly retired police chiefs and sheriffs, and the group’s main focus is on gun control – a notoriously left-wing policy. Of course, the group claims to be made up of all party affiliations and to be nonpartisan and support “policies to make communities and the people in them safer, improve and evolve policing, and safeguard the rule of law,” according to Fox News. Former Rochester Police Chief Cynthia Herriott, who resigned less than a year into her job and oversaw numerous controversial police decisions, told Spectrum she was selected as one of 50 nationally recognized police leaders to join the group.

While the newly-created group endorsed Harris, the National Fraternal Order of Police, which has 377,000 members, endorsed former President Donald Trump earlier this month, The Daily Wire reported. “I am so honored to receive the Fraternal Order of Police official endorsement for President of the United States,” Trump posted on X following the announcement. “Thank you!” FOP National President Patrick Yoes said the organization’s members voted to endorse Trump and that there was “no doubt—zero doubt—as to who they want as our President for the next four years: Donald J. Trump.” “During his first term, President Trump made it clear he supported law enforcement and border security,” Yoes said. “In the summer of 2020, he stood with us when very few would. With his help, we defeated the ‘defund the police’ movement and, finally, we are seeing crime rates decrease. If we want to maintain these lower crime rates, we must re-elect Donald Trump.” The organization said it considered both Trump and Kamala’s policies, and also the answers to a questionnaire that Trump filled out. Harris did not respond to the organization’s questionnaire, but instead, her organization sent a letter describing her alleged positions on law enforcement matters. The FOP usually endorses Republicans, though it endorsed former President Bill Clinton in 1996 and made no endorsement in 2012.

News The Texas Chainsaw Massacre The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Returning to Theaters for 50th Anniversary, With New Trailer to Celebrate The restoration was overseen by director Tobe Hooper before his death in 2017 By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on September 26, 2024 Screenshot: Dark Sky Films Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: Dark Sky Films It’s hard to believe that it’s been fifty(!) years since Texas Chainsaw Massacre premiered in theaters. The movie where Leatherface, a killer wearing a mask of human skin, maimed and murdered some young folk just looking for a fun weekend in the Texas countryside is a classic. To celebrate the movie’s anniversary, it’s heading back to theaters in a 4K restored edition apparently overseen by director Tobe Hooper before he passed away in 2017. We also have a new trailer put together by Mark Woollen, which you can check out at the end of this post. For those who missed the film when it came out in 1974 and in the forty-nine ensuing years, here’s the Dark Sky Films synopsis: Fifty years ago, five youths on a weekend getaway in the Texas countryside fell prey to a butcher in a mask made of human skin and his cannibalistic family, and horror cinema would never be the same. Violent, confrontational, and shockingly realistic, director Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre terrified audiences in a way never thought possible when it was unleashed on a politically and socially tumultuous America in 1974. Facing a storm of controversy, censorship, and outcry throughout its troubled release, this masterpiece of horror has stood the test of time to become a landmark motion picture and cultural milestone. The movie heads to theaters once again this October, and you can follow the link here to see if there’s a showing playing near you. Check out the new trailer below.
