Finally, some long-overdue justice in the immigration system. On April 9, 2026, the Board of Immigration Appeals issued a final order of removal against Mahmoud Khalil, the former Columbia University graduate student and notorious anti-Israel agitator who turned elite campus protests into a platform for chaos and intimidation. After months of legal wrangling, endless appeals, and taxpayer-funded delays, the immigration authorities have finally moved one decisive step closer to sending this foreign national back where he belongs.
This is not some minor procedural win. It is a clear signal that the Trump administration is serious about enforcing immigration law, protecting American universities from foreign radicals, and ending the era where non-citizens could wreak havoc on U.S. soil while hiding behind claims of “free speech” or “activism.” Khalil’s case has become a glaring example of everything wrong with lax immigration enforcement, elite university tolerance for extremism, and the weaponization of student visas and green cards by those who despise the country that welcomed them.
Who Is Mahmoud Khalil And Why Does He Need To Go?
Mahmoud Khalil is a Syrian-born Palestinian activist who entered the United States on a student visa, eventually securing lawful permanent resident status. While at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs, he emerged as one of the most visible leaders of the anti-Israel encampments and protests that paralyzed the campus in 2024 and 2025. These were not peaceful demonstrations. They involved blocking buildings, harassing Jewish students, disrupting…

You should know that in one of his first public appearances, after having resigned as Governor for New York State, Andrew Cuomo will be visiting the South Bronx. His visit to the Bronx is to meet with Members of “The New York Hispanic Clergy Organization”, which I preside over.
As you know, last summer Governor Cuomo resigned, when he was accused and practically abandoned by all his friends, politicians, and community groups, whom he had helped in the past. These so-called friends, and groups that were all too happy to kiss his ring, joined the “cancel culture” environment, that plaques us all, without due process, they washed their hands with a dismissive attitude, sending the message “Crucify him, crucify him”.
Several courts and judges have dismissed the allegations of “sexual harassment” against Governor Cuomo. With this episode behind him, Governor Cuomo has begun to visit and make public appearances by visiting different faith-based organizations and community groups.
It is very important for you to know that Governor Cuomo’s first public visit was to “God’s Battalion of Prayer Temple” in East Flatbush, Brooklyn on Sunday March 06, 2022. His next planned visit is to the “New York Hispanic Clergy Organization” in the South Bronx.
You should also know that in a recent poll, Governor Cuomo, without being a candidate nor having announced his political aspirations, has polled with just four (4) points behind Governor Kathy Hochul.
As you know, Governor Hochul was a friend and she was handpicked by Cuomo to be his Lieutenant Governor. However, she was among one of the first to throw him under the bus, in the midst of the allegations, launched against him.
I imagine that those four (4) points will evaporate very soon and Governor Hochul will have to consider asking Governor Cuomo for his support, if she wishes to be officially elected by the people to the governorship.
As President of the “New York Hispanic Clergy Organization”, I am looking forward to hosting Governor Cuomo on Thursday, March 17, 2022. We welcome him to the South…

NEWS
New York may dominate headlines when it comes to U.S. gambling, particularly with its record-breaking sports betting figures, yet the revenue reports reveal that New Jersey outperforms its larger neighbour in total gaming revenue.
The divergence between the two states is not accidental, nor is it temporary, but instead reflects a decade of regulatory choices that have positioned New Jersey at the forefront of online casino development, while New York has, for now, remained on the sidelines of that particular segment.
A Growing Industry, but Uneven Gains Across States
The U.S. gaming sector continues to expand at a steady pace, with the American Gaming Association reporting total commercial gaming revenue of $78.72 billion in 2025, marking yet another year of sustained growth across multiple verticals.
The headline figures suggest expansion, and a closer look at the data reveals that online casinos account for a large share of incremental gains for the first trimester of 2026.
The revenue figures have not been evenly distributed across jurisdictions, and it is here that the contrast between New Jersey and New York becomes clear.
New Jersey’s Revenue Mix Reflects Strategic Depth
New Jersey’s total gaming revenue reached $7 billion, setting a new state record in 2025. The opening months of 2026 provide further evidence of this structural strength, with New Jersey reporting more than $586 million in total gaming revenue in January, followed by over $520 million in February, bringing the cumulative total for the year’s first two months to in…

In a moment that should shake the conscience of the civilized world, the demonuc Islamic regime in Iran has once again demonstrated the true nature of its rule. Amid escalating tensions, internal unrest, and a tightening grip on information, Iranian authorities have carried out the execution of a 19-year-old national wrestling champion, alongside two (2) other young men, for their alleged involvement in January protests.
Their names must not be forgotten: Saleh Mohammadi, Mehdi Ghasemi, and Saeed Davoudi. These were not hardened criminals. They were young men, part of a generation demanding dignity, opportunity, and freedom in a nation increasingly defined by repression.
This is not justice. This is political terror.
A Regime That Lies to the World
The Iranian regime reportedly signaled to the international community, including figures such as Donald Trump, that it would halt executions tied to protest activity. That assurance has now been exposed as nothing more than deception.
Instead of restraint, the regime escalated. Instead of reform, it delivered death sentences. Instead of transparency, it imposed darkness, including a reported 20-day internet blackout designed to conceal its actions from global scrutiny.
This pattern is not new. It is a hallmark of authoritarian governance: promise moderation to the outside world while crushing dissent at home.
Sham Trials and Manufactured Guilt
Reports surrounding these executions paint a deeply disturbing picture. The accused were…
