News- US

http://youtu.be/GsCheAsh2BY An Associated Press reporter has been fired over pro-Palestinian tweets she posted while in college – and now she insists she’s a victim of “cancel culture.” Emily Wilder, a former Arizona Republic intern, started as an AP news associate in Phoenix on May 3, but learned just 16 days later that her time at the 174-year-old news agency would abruptly end due to the “clear bias” it says she showed in her social media posts, the Washington Post reported Thursday. “It’s really devastating,” Wilder told the newspaper of her termination, adding that she wasn’t informed exactly which posts led to her dismissal. #AssociatedPress #EmilyWilder #Gaza The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real ...

Andrew Cuomo, and senior members of his staff on how to handle mounting sexual harassment allegations — and told him to not wind up another victim of “cancel culture,” it was revealed Thursday.

President Biden denounces anti-Asian hate crimes, signs bill into law | New York Post

News- US

http://youtu.be/G3gy7coMdUY In a rare moment of public emotion, President Biden on Thursday grew visibly angry when discussing racial discrimination before signing a new federal hate crimes bill designed to launch a federal crackdown. The COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act passed Congress with overwhelming bipartisan support. It was prompted by a rise in hate crimes against Asians during the pandemic, which started in China. “We’re unique among all nations in that we are uniquely a product of a document, not an ethnicity, not a religion, not a geography — a document,” Biden said in the White House East Room. “Think about this, I’m being literal — uniquely a product of a document that says, ‘We hold these truths to be self evident: that all men and women are created equal, endowed by their creato...

‘You are a really dull class’: Biden chides Coast Guard grads as jokes fall flat | New York Post

http://youtu.be/uMqEkLGJbDM President Biden’s jokes fell flat at the US Coast Guard Academy’s graduation ceremony Wednesday leading him to call the grads a “dull class” while boasting of his own college exploits including a fire-extinguisher assault on his dorm’s RA. Biden attempted to earn laughs at the expense of the US Navy, and like a bad stand-up whose set is dying, when the cadets didn’t respond, he turned on them. “I can only assume that you will enjoy educating your family about how the Coast Guard is quote, ‘the hard nucleus around [which] the Navy forms in times of war,'” Biden said, to crickets, at the outdoor event in New London, Conn. Biden then jeered his crowd: “You are a — you are a really dull class. I mean, come on, man, is the sun getting to you? I would think you wo...

Biden ripped for joking about running over reporter who asked about Israel | New York Post

News- US

http://youtu.be/ZqV2MQP6M3w President Biden is being ripped for joking about running down a reporter rather than answer a question about the ongoing deadly conflict in Gaza. Biden made the questionable quip Tuesday from behind the wheel of the new F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck when a reporter asked if she could ask “a quick question on Israel … since it’s so important?” “No, you can’t,” Biden replied bluntly. “Not unless you get in front of the car as I step on it.” The car-loving commander-in-chief insisted he was “only teasing” — but still raced away on a Michigan race track rather than accept a question on the ongoing conflict. #Biden #Israel #Gaza The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate...

Kamala Harris keeps list of reporters who don’t ‘understand’ her | New York Post

News- US

http://youtu.be/g1mof0gJSHo Vice President Kamala Harris keeps track of journalists and political players she feels don’t “appreciate her life experience” — and the feeling is mutual — as television producers have become hesitant to book her because she is “so uninteresting,” according to a report. Harris and her team, according to a profile of the VP published by The Atlantic, typically “dismiss” reporters and “tracks political players and reporters whom she thinks don’t fully understand her or appreciate her life experience.” She also takes particular issue with the word “cautious” being used to describe her, and aides “look out for” synonyms like “careful, guarded and hesitant,” which “don’t go over well.” #KamalaHarris #Reporters The New York Post is your source for breaking news,...

Six of the eight defendants — ranging in age from 18 to 25 — were charged in Brooklyn federal court, documents show. Two of the suspects — Armani Miller, 24, and Johan Santos, 19 — are still at large.

Pentagon reportedly running secret army of 60,000 around the world | New York Post

News- US

http://youtu.be/1cK3L_hqYYA The Pentagon is running a 60,000-strong secret army made up of soldiers, civilians and contractors, who travel the world under false identities embedded in consultancies and name-brand companies — without the knowledge of the American people or most of Congress — according to a report. The top-secret army was created by the Pentagon over the past 10 years as part of a program called “signature reduction,” and operates both domestically and internationally using a low-profile force of clandestine warriors who sometimes wear civilian clothes as they carry out their assignments, Newsweek reported. The force is 10 times the size of the covert elements of the CIA, comes with a cost of more than $900 million, and engages about 130 private companies in operations...

Trevor Noah ripped for comparing Israel-Hamas conflict to sibling scrap | New York Post

News- US

http://youtu.be/X2Y09HR2O9o No one is laughing at “The Daily Show” host Trevor Noah — who is being ripped for suggesting that Israel should limit the intensity of its response to rocket attacks by Hamas. “Israel has one of the most powerful militaries in the world,” Noah said Tuesday. “They could crush Gaza like that … and I know, I know that this is contentious, and I know that people are gonna hate me for this, but I just want to ask an honest question: If you’re in a fight where the other person cannot beat you, how hard should you retaliate when they try to hurt you?” Noah then compared the deadly conflict to a scrap between himself and his little brother. “As a person who has immensely more power, I had to ask myself whether my response to this child was just or necessary,” he sai...

Fauci finally says vaccinated Americans don’t need masks outside | New York Post

News- US

http://youtu.be/OInpDrxhNLQ Dr. Anthony Fauci finally encouraged vaccinated Americans to ditch their masks outside — more than two weeks after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention gave the green light that it was safe. “If you are vaccinated, you don’t have to wear a mask outside. We’ve got to make that transition,” the White House chief medical adviser told “CBS This Morning” on Thursday. “It would be a very unusual situation, if you were going into a completely crowded situation where people are essentially falling all over each other, then you wear a mask. But any other time, if you’re vaccinated and you’re outside, put aside your mask. You don’t have to wear it.” Fauci had argued last month that vaccinated people should stick to wearing masks outdoors, saying it was stil...

Married cop got rookie subordinate pregnant — and didn’t break any NYPD rules | New York Post

News- US

http://youtu.be/iWEABYXDtM4 A married NYPD sergeant knocked up his rookie cop driver — while his own wife was pregnant — but the fling didn’t violate any departmental regulations, The Post has learned. Sgt. Marcy Velez, 44, of the Bronx’s 45th Precinct had the affair with his subordinate officer starting in 2019 when she was in her early 20s, fresh out of the academy and selected to work as his driver, sources familiar with the matter said. She eventually wanted to break it off, but Velez wouldn’t allow it, sources said — and a complaint was filed with the Internal Affairs Bureau alleging she felt trapped in the relationship. During IAB’s probe in early 2020, the female officer became pregnant with Velez’s child — and then denied everything when investigators approached her. The cop’s...

http://youtu.be/85eQVmBh2cc The 13-year-old Florida cheerleader who was found dead Sunday in a remote wooded area of the state was stabbed a “horrific” amount of times, a new report said. St. Johns County Sheriff Rob Hardwick shared the revelation in a Tuesday interview with WJXT, where he also characterized the death of Tristyn Bailey as a “cold-blooded murder.” Aiden Fucci, 14, a seventh-grade classmate of Bailey’s, has been busted for her slaying. Details surrounding Bailey’s death had been scarce, but earlier Tuesday, the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office said the medical examiner ruled it a homicide caused by “sharp force trauma by stabbing,” the report said. “That being said, I don’t wanna mention the number of times, but it is horrific.

The ruling means Trump will continue to be blocked from Facebook and Instagram. But the board said an indefinite suspension of Trump’s account was inappropriate and the company has six months to lay out new penalties. “However, it was not appropriate for Facebook to impose the indeterminate and standardless penalty of indefinite suspension,” the board said in a statement explaining its decision. “Facebook’s normal penalties include removing the violating content, imposing a time-bound period of suspension, or permanently disabling the page and account.” Facebook has 30 days to respond publicly, according to the Overs...

News- US

http://youtu.be/Zni9JMfRTCA A woman who went missing nearly six months ago was found living in a tent in a national forest in Utah, subsisting on a diet including grass and moss — after a drone that was searching for her crashed nearby, authorities said. The 47-year-old, who wasn’t publicly identified, was discovered Sunday in a remote campground of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, the Utah County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement. “This woman… had lost a significant amount of weight and was weak, but she was apparently also resourceful,” the statement said. Authorities believe the woman voluntarily chose to move to Diamond Fork Canyon — and had been surviving on a small amount of food she brought with her, as well as grass and moss.
