Mayor Eric Adams ‘spoke out fiercely’ against border crisis— now he's INDICTED for $10 million in bribes



Mayor Eric Adams is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, but he’s historically become the first sitting mayor in the history of New York to be indicted for committing crimes.

The indictment alleges that Mayor Adams took $10 million in illegal donations and bribes. The U.S. Attorney's Office claims that he sought and accepted gifts and contributions from wealthy foreign business people — including a Turkish government official.

Adams is pushing back against the allegations and arguing that he’s being targeted for speaking out against the Biden administration.

“It is now my belief that the federal government intends to charge me with crimes. If so, these charges would be entirely false, based on lies. But they would not be surprising. I always knew that if I stood my ground for all of you, that I would be a target, and a target I became,” Adams said in a statement following the allegations.

“For months, leaks and rumors have been aimed at me in an attempt to undermine my credibility and paint me as guilty. Just this past week, they searched the home of our new police commissioner looking for documents from 20 years ago. Just one week after he joined my administration,” he continued.

Jill Savage of “Blaze News Tonight” notes that what he’s referring to is likely when Adams “spoke out fiercely against the Biden-Harris border crisis” and said it was “destroying New York City.”

Host of “The Josh Hammer Show” Josh Hammer tells Savage and Matthew Peterson that he believes Adams is in “deep doo-doo.”

“He’s going to have to face a choice as to whether to try to slog this out or resign,” Hammer says, adding, “So far, it seems like he’s going to fight it.”

50 Cent, Michael Rappaport bash Democrats, 'cadaver Joe Biden' over New York City migrant crisis, say Trump may be 'the answer'



Rapper 50 Cent and comedian Micahel Rappaport blasted Democrats over the migrant crisis in New York City, and suggested that former President Donald Trump could be the answer.

As Blaze News reported on Saturday, New York City will soon start handing out pre-paid credit cards to illegal immigrants. The $53 million pilot program will provide pre-paid credit cards to illegal aliens housed in New York City hotels, and migrant families could receive nearly $1,000 a month.

Curtis James Jackson III, better known as 50 Cent, blasted New York City Mayor Eric Adams over the program.

In a since-deleted Instagram post, 50 Cent shared a screen capture of the New York Post article regarding the $53 million program for illegal immigrants with the caption: "WTF Mayor Adams call my phone, I don’t understand how this works. Somebody explain."

The "In Da Club" rapper also said that MSNBC host Ari Melber "can’t explain this" to him, and admitted that he is "stuck" on the situation.

50 Cent then stated, "Maybe Trump is the answer."

In October 2020, right before the presidential election, 50 Cent endorsed Trump after learning how much Joe Biden wanted to increase taxes. However, Jackson rescinded his endorsement just days later by saying, "F*** Donald Trump," after being publicly berated by his celebrity ex-girlfriend Chelsea Handler.

Another celebrity ticked off at Democrats for the migrant crisis in New York City is Michael Rappaport – a notorious Trump hater.

Rappaport shared a video rant reacting to the mob of illegal immigrants beating up two NYPD officers last weekend and them being released without bail. One of the suspects flashed two middle fingers after being arraigned in court.

Rappaport blustered, "This is why when I say voting for pig d*** Donald Trump is on the table, voting for pig d*** Donald Trump is on the table!"

"The other day in New York City, six illegal aliens jumped a New York City cop – NYPD’s finest," Rappaport said on the X social media platform "They jumped a New York City cop in Times Square and were arrested and released without bail."

The Hollywood actor asked, "Let me tell you something, what the f*** is the world coming to if you could be from another country, beat up a cop in New York City, and walk out with no f***ing bail? What the f*** is the world coming to? What the f*** is the world coming to?"

Rappaport then bashed President Joe Biden for ignoring police officers being attacked and focusing on four Israeli settlers violently targeting Palestinians in the disputed West Bank territory.

Rappaport ripped "cadaver Joe Biden" for issuing an executive order regarding the Israeli settlers on the same day as the attack on NYPD officers.

"You’re talking about that, but you’ve got nothing to say about motherf***ers beating up cops in New York City? The greatest city on earth. Maybe my city is not the greatest city on earth anymore if you could beat up cops in the quote-unquote greatest city in the world and be released without bail. Are we the greatest city on earth?"

Rappaport declared, "Cadaver Joe Biden, we see you! We f***ing see you!"

While slamming his hands on a table, he concluded, "This is why voting for pig d*** Donald Trump is still on the table."
