A councilwoman in New York City blasted "modern progressivism" after a mob of students at a Queens high school rioted against a Jewish teacher for apparently attending a pro-Israel rally. Blaze News previously reported that a number of students at Hillcrest High School in Jamaica rioted after they discovered one of their teachers had attended a pro-Israel rally on October 9‚ holding up a sign that read‚ "I stand with Israel." — (@) The teacher's attendance at the rally just two days after Hamas terrorists slaughtered 1‚200 Jews was apparently just too much for the pro-Palestine students to handle. Republican New York City Councilwoman Vickie Paladino shared with Fox News Digital that she "was sickened by what I saw at Hillcrest HS‚ but sadly I was not surprised.""Our education system is fundamentally broken‚ and anti-Semitic riots like this are sadly the natural result of years of woke leftist indoctrination replacing real education.""Allowing progressives to gain total control over our institutions was always going to lead to tragic outcomes; they’ve been working to instigate a cultural revolution here for decades‚ and now those efforts appear to be bearing fruit."Just after 11:00 a.m. on Monday‚ students reportedly rushed into the hallways of the school to protest the teacher for simply expressing support for Israel. The protest appeared to have been pre-planned‚ and it quickly devolved into a riot. The pro-Palestinian students attempted to get into the teacher's classroom despite school staffers blocking the way to the room.By 11:20 a.m.‚ the NYPD showed up to break up the riot.The riot comes almost two months after Hamas terrorists murdered 1‚200 people in Israel‚ taking another 240 hostage. The horrific attack was the deadliest one against Israel in the nation's history‚ and it was the largest targeted attack against Jews since World War II."For students in a New York City public school to feel empowered to riot and hunt down a Jewish teacher‚ something has gone severely wrong‚ and it's gone wrong for a very long time. And if it's allowed to continue‚ 'who we are' is going to be a raving mob of children who've been brainwashed into a poisonous hateful political ideology‚ forever‚" Paladino wrote on X. — (@) "It was terrorism‚ plain and simple. Terrorism is violence against civilians to achieve a political goal. And that's what we saw in one of our public schools‚ against a teacher whose only offense was being Jewish and peacefully expressing her support for Israel on her own time.""These terrorist students stalked her online‚ organized in chat rooms‚ then sparked a riot and hunted her down. She had to be barricaded in a locker room as the rioters raged in the hallway and attempted to gain access to her‚" Paladino's post said.It is unclear whether the students will face consequences for the riot. However‚ Paladino has called for all faculty to be suspended until a full investigation has been carried out; the firing of any staff member found to be involved in the riot; and the immediate expulsion of students who took part in the riot‚ according to Fox News Digital.Like Blaze News?

The widely advertised "South Park" special titled "Joining the Panderverse" was yet another series of shots fired at Disney and its executives for pumping out woke content.The latest from Matt Stone and Trey Parker features two main storylines. The first is that there exists another universe where every character in the town of South Park has been replaced by "diverse women complaining about the patriarchy‚" including the 10-year-old boys.The inclusion of alternative timelines is a nod to Marvel's consistent reliance on different timelines and multiverses that allows writers to change the fate of characters or bring back old actors in new movies.Early in the episode‚ Cartman switches timelines‚ placing him as the only "white boy" in a universe of diverse women‚ while a black‚ female Cartman is now in his world.The focus of the plot is that Disney President Kathleen Kennedy‚ in response to hate mail about her movies‚ made it a point to enact revenge through an increased level of diversity. The more harsh the complaints‚ the more she responded with diversity in her films.The story reveals that Kennedy became addicted to pandering instead of coming up with new stories. She relied an a form of artificial intelligence to come up with plots so often that every movie idea boiled down to "put a chick in it. Make her gay!"As Cartman is attempting to escape Kennedy‚ the story jumps back and forth‚ showing a Cartman version of Kennedy wreaking havoc at Disney.When other board members ask for a "different route" from what was done with "Indiana Jones‚" Cartman/Kennedy screams her often-used tagline‚ "F**k Indiana Jones! Put a chick in it! Make her lame and gay!"The second plot begins with Stan's dad teaching his kids how to fix things around the house."It has come to my attention lately that young people today don't know how to do shit‚" Randy tells Stan and his sister Shelley. "You got your phones and your AI and you kids haven't learned to actually be able to do anything."To teach them to fix the oven door‚ Randy explains‚ "It's very simple‚ you gotta make the hinges tighter so the oven door is more secure. So‚ whatcha do is‚ you take out your phone and you call the handyman."It becomes apparent that the men in the town don't know how to fix anything and rely on a small group of handymen who become increasingly rich as lawyers‚ accountants‚ and even Randy (who is a geologist) have become useless.The out-of-work professionals blame their education and the internet for why they have been rendered jobless‚ then enact a plan to destroy a local university.Meanwhile‚ Cartman's friends are forced to deal with the new version of him and are accused of being racist and sexist if they don't like it."I bet you don't like that Indiana Jones was replaced by a female either‚ huh?" the principal accused the boys. "Probably have a problem with black Spider-Man too!"Disney executives work with the group of boys (and the strong black woman) to try to close the portal between the two universes‚ while Randy continuously attempts to find someone to fix his oven.While much of the firepower is right on target‚ the episode seems to give a bit of a pass to woke propaganda‚ explaining that perhaps attacking woke movies takes up too much cultural focus.The conclusion to Randy's problem is far less of a teaching moment‚ but the final scene of the episode lacks the typical punch seen in specials of the past. Ranking it among "South Park" specials like "Go God Go‚" "Imagination Land‚" and "The Cartoon Wars‚" "Joining the Panderverse" unfortunately ranks toward the bottom.However‚ it does deliver some hilarious short segments that suggest it would have benefited from being a regular-length episode.Like Blaze News?

Students allegedly physically attacked police officers inside a New York City high school earlier this month — the same school where‚ just days before‚ a pro-Israel teacher hid from a student mob during an anti-Semitic riot.What are the details?Three students were fighting two other students inside Hillcrest High School in Queens around noon Nov. 15‚ the New York Post reported‚ adding that school safety agents who intervened in the brawl became beatdown targets themselves.Cellphone video that the NYPD verified captured a physical attack on one of the officers‚ the paper added. — (@) Police arrested four students — a pair of 15-year-old males and two 16-year-old males — in the aftermath and issued juvenile reports to them‚ the Post said‚ citing the NYPD.The paper said police issue juvenile reports in lieu of misdemeanor or felony charges when the suspects are young minors.Three NYPD school officers were injured in the attack‚ the Post said.Republican NYC Councilwoman Vickie Paladino said on social media that Hillcrest's "administration tried to cover this up in the same way they tried to cover up the riot."More from her post:It's clear that the administration of Hillcrest is totally compromised and either unwilling or unable to do what's necessary to provide a safe environment to their students or their faculty. Furthermore‚ they seem more than willing to cover up crimes committed by their students in service of a political narrative‚ and to prevent these criminal students from facing consequences.Were it not brought to the attention of my office‚ this may have remained covered up. And who knows what else they're hiding at this point.This cannot continue. Hillcrest High School must be shut down pending a full and thorough investigation‚ and the administration must be held accountable. Furthermore‚ the students who committed these acts must be arrested immediately and face appropriate criminal charges.This cannot continue in our schools. Order and discipline must be restored. We've tried 'progressive' educational theory for far too long‚ and it's gotten us absolutely nowhere. Our students and our city deserve far better than this.The Post said an email to the NYC Department of Education was not immediately returned late Sunday.What about the anti-Semitic riot at the HS?Just six days after Hillcrest students allegedly beat on police officers‚ a pro-Israel teacher there reportedly was forced to lock herself in a school office after hundreds of Palestinian-supporting students caused an anti-Semitic riot.Hillcrest students reportedly found out that the teacher took part in an Oct. 9 pro-Israel demonstration in Queens‚ after which students reportedly stormed the school's hallways to protest the teacher's pro-Israel viewpoint. The pre-planned protest allegedly deteriorated into a riot‚ during which pro-Palestinian students reportedly attempted to barge into the teacher's classroom despite school staffers guarding it.Like Blaze News?

The body of a man was reportedly discovered at the bottom of a well after he had been missing for more than two months. The well was located on the man's own property in Avon‚ Massachusetts. The Miami Herald reported that Keith McKechnie‚ 45‚ disappeared after leaving his home on September 7. McKechnie was not discovered until November 25‚ when a relative found him at the bottom of a well on his property.McKechnie's family and the authorities had been consistently searching for him since his disappearance. District Attorney Michael W. Morrissey released a statement‚ saying that "our thoughts are very much with the McKechnie family tonight‚" adding that "this is a very sad result."Medical examiners are expected to carry out an autopsy on McKechnie's body to try to find clues as to what happened that might have led to his death.However‚ the Massachusetts State Police homicide investigators did not initially find any "obvious signs of trauma" when they looked at the body on Saturday. WBTS reported that McKechnie's brother — who lives out of state — and a cousin used a GoPro to search the well‚ and that was when they noticed something. After they discovered the body‚ they called the police. McKechnie's longtime neighbor John Hegarty said that "it just seems kind of strange that he was right there in the back yard the whole time.""It doesn't make sense because that was the first place I would've looked if I knew there was a well there."The police in Avon confirmed that they had visually searched the well before McKechnie's relatives called and said that they had found the body there. Christine Connolly‚ McKechnie's cousin‚ said that "the family made several calls as well as in person and asked them that the well needed to be looked at.""We felt something nefarious happened because Keith didn’t have his wallet‚ cell phone or his glasses. The glasses were found by the well on the ground. We were told that they had determined due to the size of the well and Keith’s build‚ he wouldn’t fit‚" Connolly added.Aaron McKechnie‚ Keith's brother‚ said‚ "I told them he was a large size and if his body was being concealed the most likely place to find him would be in the well by the side of the garage where he stays."The case is still under investigation.

Finding a solid alternative to Counter-Strike 2 wasn't easy. Perseverance‚ however‚ has led me to discover a game that just gets the mechanics‚ action‚ and competitive spirit of Valve's FPS - and‚ for me‚ eclipses CS2's current version in some ways. That game is Pavlov Shack‚ which is first and foremost a team-based multiplayer shooter with realistic weapon handling and a decently high skill ceiling. The caveat? It’s a VR game.
