Police in New York are now looking for a gang of three individuals after one of them set a homeless man ablaze inside New York’s Penn Station. 
Three suspects escaped and were only identified by what they were wearing, the New York Post reports.
Per the New York Post:
A pyromaniac goon set a sleeping homeless man on fire inside Penn Station while his ghoulish pals watched the carnage on Monday, cops and sources said.
The firebug torched the 37-year-old victim’s clothes as he was sprawled out in the Amtrak Rotunda of transit hub on West 31st Street near Seventh Avenue around 8:40 p.m., police said.
First responders quickly extinguished the blaze, and the victim was taken to Weill Cornell Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries, cops said.
By then, the punks had already fled the scene, and no arrests had been made by Tuesday.
Add this to the long list of violent crimes committed in New York’s transit system.
Three months earlier, in December 2025, a teen was arrested and charged with attempted murder after setting a man on fire on the subway near Penn Station.
Just a few weeks ago, a man was shot dead on a Bronx subway platform.
And who can forget about the woman who was set on fire inside a New York City subway car by a Guatemalan illegal alien just days before Christmas in 2024?

Paxton, a staunch conservative and MAGA favorite is leading in the Polymarket Poll over RINO John Cornyn by 60 Points!

Paxton is well known for fighting election fraud in the state of Texas.
Ken Paxton also filed the lawsuit in 2020 contesting the election in four states where Biden reportedly defeated President Trump with mysterious late-night ballot drops. 126 US representatives supported Paxton’s case. 23 states joined Paxton and Texas in the lawsuit.
The Supreme Court refused to take on the case.
The Texas primaries are being held today.
UPDATE: Attorney General Paxton lags behind RINO John Cornyn in the Texas Senate Primary.

Screencap of Twitter/X video.
Former CNN host Jim Acosta is one of the many media liberals currently panicked about the prospect of CNN and other outlets coming under new ownership.
During a recent broadcast of his podcast on Substack, Acosta railed about the possibility of Scott Jennings getting his own show on CNN or another network. Talk about sour grapes.
This just serves as a good reminder that so many people in media are driven by envy. Acosta was so bad he got bumped from CNN. Scott Jennings is now one of the only reasons to ever watch the network.
The Daily Caller reported on this:
Jim Acosta Melts Down Over ‘MAGA-Friendly’ Owner Likely Controlling CNN
Former CNN host Jim Acosta expressed alarm after Paramount won a bidding war for Warner Bros. Discovery during a Friday episode of “The Jim Acosta Show.”
Netflix terminated its efforts to acquire the media conglomerate that owns CNN on Thursday after Paramount Skydance’s higher bid, CNBC reported on Friday. Acosta noted on his show that the new ownership of CNN would likely be friendlier to President Donald Trump and expressed concern about CNN senior political commentator and Republican strategist Scott Jennings getting his own show.
“[W]e may have a scenario in this country where a MAGA-friendly corporation, a Trumpy corporation, Oracle, will control both CBS News and CNN,” Acosta. “In what world is that normal? How is that happening in America? … I can understand it happening in Russia … Hungary … Turkey … Visit the countries that have state-controlled media … These are not places where you want to live, by and large … These are places you don’t even want to step foot on their soil.”
“Do we want the United States of America to become like Russia? … North Korea?” he added. “Do we want the United States of America to become like China, where you don’t have freedom of thought … political freedom … the ability to read, watch, and absorb the media and information that you want to consume and take in?”
Here’s a clip:

Newsflash for Jim Acosta: If Scott Jennings got his own primetime show on CNN, it would be one of the most watched shows on the network.
It’s amazing that they haven’t already done this.

Bill Clinton Epstein deposition / GOP Oversight
The House Oversight Committee on Monday released video of Bill and Hillary Clinton’s Epstein depositions.
Bill and Hillary Clinton agreed to testify before the Oversight Committee after Chairman James Comer moved forward with holding them in criminal contempt of Congress.
During the deposition in Chappaqua, New York, last week, Clinton was asked about the salacious photo of him in a hot tub with an alleged Epstein trafficking victim.
The Justice Department in December released a new batch of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s sex-trafficking cases.
The trove of documents was released after a federal judge in New York recently ordered the release of Jeffrey Epstein documents related to a 2019 sex trafficking case.
President Trump recently signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act into law to release all files related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
The new trove of documents included never-before-seen photos of Bill Clinton in a hot tub, swimming with a mystery woman.
The individual’s face was redacted which means she is either a sex-trafficking victim and or a minor.

Clinton said the Sultan of Brunei invited him to stay at the hotel when he was asked about the hot tub photos.
“It’s a tiny place but a very wealthy one, and the sultan was a man I had gotten to know well in my eight years as president and his involvement with the Asia-Pacific leaders conference, which I started and which he attended,” Clinton said.
“When he knew I was coming, he invited me to stay there. And he said, ‘I want you to stay at this hotel, and I hope that you’ll use the pool.’ So I did, and then I got out and went to bed, exhausted,” Clinton said.
When asked if he had sexual relations with the woman in the hot tub, Clinton replied, “No.”
Clinton also told the Oversight Committee that he recalled the Secret Service being at the pool, and to the best of his recollection, he doesn’t believe the woman in the photo was a minor.
When asked why Epstein’s madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, was also in the pool, Clinton didn’t have an answer.

A Shia mosque in Northern Virginia is honoring the legacy of Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The Manassas Mosque hosted a remembrance service on Sunday for the Iranian supreme leader was killed in joint U.S. and Israeli strikes on Tehran.
Located about 30 miles outside Washington, D.C., the mosque held a Ramadan iftar that sent “condolences and glad tidings on the martyrdom of His Eminence Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.”
An Instagram post invited followers to attend as the community considered its “responsibilities” in the wake of his death.

The founder and imam of Manassas Mosque, Abolfazl Bahram Nahidian, has been identified as Ayatollah Khomenei’s “point man” in DC since the 1970s.
He allegedly received $5 million from Iran in the 1980s to support Iranian regime propaganda efforts in the US.

The mosque describes itself as “a community of pious, educated, socially conscious, and active Muslims” living in the local area and is known to have close ties to Tehran.
In 2023, House Republicans identified the Manassas Mosque in a letter to federal authorities as one of several U.S.-based Islamic institutions suspected of connections to Iran’s regime.
“A recent video of inside the Mosque showed that it is adorned with pictures of ‘martyrs’ of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a U.S. designated terrorist group, that were killed in Syria, a life-sized cutout of Khomeini, as well as Iranian flags and slogans,” they wrote the time.
According to The Washington Examiner, tax filings show the mosque received roughly $193,000 between 2004 and 2005 from the Alavi Foundation, an Iranian-linked organization later targeted by the Justice Department.
Federal prosecutors alleged the foundation funneled funds through U.S. holdings to Bank Melli, an Iranian state-owned bank previously sanctioned for supporting terrorism and nuclear activities.
However, the mosque is not required to publicly disclose detailed financial records because it is a registered house of worship.
After the October 2023 terrorist attack by the Palestinian terror group Hamas, mosque leadership expressed support for what it described as the “Palestinian Resistance.”
A since-removed blog post also praised Qasem Soleimani, the Iranian general killed in a 2020 U.S. drone strike, who was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American service members.

As tensions rapidly escalate in the Middle East following US–Israeli strikes on Iran and Tehran’s subsequent retaliation across the Gulf states, Germany’s Alternative for Germany (AfD) has called for restraint on all sides.
In a sharply worded statement, AfD parliamentary leaders Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla warned against further escalation and urged all sides to step back. “We have noted with great concern the attacks by Israel and the USA on Iran,” they said.
The AfD made clear that its priority is preventing further destabilization that could spill over into Europe. “We call on all warring parties to exercise absolute restraint. The civilian population and civilian infrastructure must be protected. International law and international humanitarian law must be fully respected.”

Zum Angriff auf den #Iran und zur Lage im Nahen Osten teilen die Vorsitzenden der AfD-Fraktion im Deutschen Bundestag, @Alice_Weidel und @Tino_Chrupalla, mit:
„Mit großer Sorge haben wir die Angriffe Israels und der USA auf den Iran zur Kenntnis genommen. Wir fordern alle… pic.twitter.com/ddKsqi59W1
— AfD-Fraktion im Deutschen Bundestag (@AfDimBundestag) February 28, 2026

The party also stressed that prolonged instability in the Middle East would not benefit Germany or Europe. “The renewed destabilization of the Middle East is not in Germany’s interest and must be stopped,” Weidel and Chrupalla added.
By placing German and European interests at the center of the discussion, the AfD has once again separated itself from the reflexive alignment often seen in Berlin’s political establishment.
The party’s position builds on earlier remarks from Chrupalla, who last year called for an end to German arms exports to both Israel and Ukraine. At the time, he criticized Berlin’s “one-sided partisanship” in foreign conflicts, sparking heated debate across the Bundestag.
That debate has now returned with new urgency. As missiles fly across the Middle East, global oil choke points are closed, and rhetoric intensifies, the AfD is framing the issue as a question of national sovereignty and prudence.
Meanwhile, Chancellor Friedrich Merz of the CDU has taken a different approach. In a joint statement with French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, he emphasized Western coordination.
“We did not participate in these strikes, but are in close contact with our international partners, including the United States, Israel, and partners in the region,” the statement read. It reiterated a commitment to regional stability and the protection of civilian life.

Merz later posted on X: “This is not the moment to lecture our allies, but to stand together in unity.”
The AfD’s leadership, however, argues that unity must not come at the expense of sober judgment. Party figures have long maintained that Germany should avoid being drawn into conflicts that do not directly serve its security.
Within the governing camp, voices are far from unified. Alexander Hoffmann, parliamentary leader of the Bavarian CSU, openly welcomed reports of the deaths of Iranian leaders.
“The death of Ali Khamenei and other leaders of the Tehran terror regime is good news for the security of Germany and Europe,” Hoffmann told Merkur. He described the US–Israeli strikes as a justified response to Tehran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons.
In contrast, Green politician Annalena Baerbock, now presiding over the 80th session of the UN General Assembly, warned against further escalation. She called the situation “extremely dangerous.”
“The UN Charter is clear: all Member States must settle their international disputes by peaceful means,” Baerbock wrote, urging a return to diplomacy and negotiations.
The conflicting statements highlight a broader uncertainty about the country’s foreign policy direction.

I condemn the extremely dangerous military escalation in the Middle East.
The UN Charter is clear: all Member States must settle their international disputes by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security, and justice, are not endangered. They must also…
— Annalena Baerbock (@UN_PGA) February 28, 2026

The AfD’s emphasis on restraint reflects growing concerns among voters that foreign entanglements often carry unintended consequences—from economic shocks to renewed migration pressures.
Germany—and most of Europe—have already faced years of energy disruptions and social strain tied to geopolitical crises. Germany, after all, bore the brunt of the mass migration waves triggered by the wars in Syria, Libya, and Iraq, absorbing millions of arrivals while other countries imposed stricter border controls. For many citizens, those experiences remain a stark reminder that distant conflicts can rapidly transform into domestic political and social crises.
Critics of escalating the war in the Middle East argue that further instability in the region could once again impact domestic security and economic stability.
By placing the protection of civilians and adherence to humanitarian law at the center of its message, the AfD is seeking to present itself as both firm and cautious.
The party insists that avoiding escalation does not mean endorsing any regime, but rather prioritizing Germany’s long-term interests.
