| April 14, 2024 | Nick Arama
Fulton County, Georgia's District Attorney Fani Willis just seems to keep finding trouble. Earlier
this past week, we reported new information on the whistleblower who came forward alleging misuse of federal grant funds in Willis' office.

The Justice Department did not provide any further details on the nature of Willis’s reporting "inconsistencies" on the $488,000 federal grant, which was earmarked...

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Wednesday he would not consider being Donald Trump’s running mate one day after the former president confirmed the former 2024 rival was on his “short list” — with DeSantis revealing that he was looking at other prospects, including another White House bid in four years. “People
were mentioning me [as a potential vice president]. I am not doing that,” DeSantis told Republicans his presidential campaign had recruited to be delegates to this summer’s nominating convention during a thank-you call, audio of which was shared exclusively with The Post. The 45-year-old also went in-depth about who...

Several migrants confessed to The Post Friday the meals served up at New York City asylum seeker shelters are so “bad” they often just trash them — with some opting to sneakily cook in their rooms instead. Their
claims of terrible food came a day after it was revealed DocGo — the company awarded a $432 million no-bid contract by the city to help with migrant services — has been tossing thousands of uneaten, taxpayer-funded meals prepared for asylum seekers each day. “No one likes the food,” Jesus Alberto, 31, from Venezuela, told The Post outside the Roosevelt Hotel —...

The Legend of American Chinese Food: 8 Dishes and Their Authentic Counterparts
|
| |
RADII ^
| 6/25/20 | Adan Kohnhorst
Growing up in the United States, “Chinese food” usually meant American Chinese food. You
know it’s not the real deal, but those words still conjure images of white takeout boxes, egg rolls, and fortune cookies. And yet time-honored American Chinese classics such as General Tso’s Chicken would be unrecognizable to most people in mainland China. So where do these dishes actually come from? American Chinese food has deep roots in Cantonese cooking from China’s Guangdong province (formerly referred to as Canton). Before the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 effectively halted immigration to the US, immigrants from Guangdong arrived in droves...

LAKEWOOD, Ohio – National Detroit-Style Pizza Day is recognized every year on June 23. To
celebrate, we chatted with Joe Schlott, the owner of Gray House Pizza, to find out what first attracted him to Detroit-style pizza, and why he is one of the very few shops in Northeast Ohio that serves it, let alone specializes in it. Schlott fancies himself as a “student of pizza” and is quick to admit that when he travels – especially to New York City, where pizza is king – his “first stop is pizza.”

The Justice Department’s indictment of former President Donald Trump is still all the rage on the airwaves and interwebs. Members
of the chattering class have been chiming in, giving their two cents on the matter. Renowned Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz recently offered his opinion on the case during an appearance on Newsmax in which he indicated that Trump’s situation is precarious, but his fate isn’t necessarily sealed.According to Dershowitz, the indictment against Donald Trump is partly serious and partly expected, as possessing classified material may not be damning due to potential defenses under the Presidential Records Act. However, Dershowitz...

My fiancée was texting one of her best friends the other night, who told her she’d recently made salisbury steak for dinner. Huh.
Salisbury steak. I hadn’t thought of Salisbury steak in years, and the only time I’d really had it was from a frozen microwaveable tray when I was a kid. It didn’t even occur to me that people made Salisbury steak from scratch. But when you think about it, Salisbury steak is essentially just hamburger patties in brown gravy, sometimes with mushrooms. I thought, “Wait. Why am I not making this too?”A few nights later I went to...
