    Authorities removed a 750-pound alligator from a residence in upstate New York last week, officials announced Friday. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation wrote in a Facebook post that its officers seized a 750-pound alligator from an individual’s residence in Hamburg, New York on March 13. The department noted that the individual had a license for the alligator but that it had expired in 2021. The department said the individual “built an addition to his house and installed an in-ground swimming pool for his roughly 30-year-old alligator, and allegedly allowed members of the public to get into the...

    Two representatives appointed to a committee considering paying reparations claimed whites were responsible for climate change, slammed Israel and pushed to defund the police. Ron Daniels and Lurie Daniel Favors — both appointed to New York’s commission on reparations and racial justice by state Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie (D-Bronx) — made several fiery statements including Daniels slamming black US Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) as “Uncle Tim,” according to a review of their public statements. “White Folks Messed Up the Weather = Black Folks Save the Planet,” Daniels, a longtime activist who ran for president on the Peace and Freedom Party...

    Former President Donald Trump has been unable to secure the $454 million bond, the full amount of the civil fraud judgment against him, which he must post in order to appeal, his attorneys said in a filing Monday. Trump offered last month to post a $100 million appeal bond rather than the full amount as the process plays out in court, but the judge denied the proposal. Trump's "ongoing diligent efforts have proven that a bond in the judgment’s full amount is 'a practical impossibility,'" the former president's lawyers said, per NBC News. "These diligent efforts have included approaching about...

    An area in Squad member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s district is being described as looking more like a Third World country as opposed to a thriving American neighborhood, as desperate migrants block up sidewalks selling food and shilling clothing items while prostitutes openly solicit sex from passersby — reportedly including teens. The neighborhoods of Corona, Jackson Heights and Elmhurst — a once-vibrant community in northwestern Queens — has now essentially deteriorated into a large flea market with trash overflowing on street corners, leading to unsavory and unhygienic conditions, as video obtained by Fox News Digital shows. Meanwhile, the neighborhood’s main strip along...
  • NYPD hunts woman who fled subway shooting after 'stabbing' gun-wielding attacker - as new video shows him lying on train after being shot with his OWN GUN

    NYPD detectives are urgently seeking a female subway passenger filmed stabbing a gunman during a train brawl, shortly before he was shot with his own weapon. The woman, who has not been identified, was seen stabbing the unnamed victim, 36, in the back several times as he fought with another male passenger aged 32. 'You stabbed me? You stabbed me?' the shooting victim said to the woman repeatedly, as she responds: 'I didn't do nothing' while blood seeped from his shirt. Terrified commuters scrambled to escape the melee, which appeared to be initiated by the shooting victim, dressed all in...

Michael Elmore is charged with aggravated manslaughter, aggravated assault on a police officer and burglary. Lindsey Wilcox is charged with attempted assault and burglary.

    A New York commission that will recommend whether to give reparations for slavery and discrimination to black residents hasn’t even met yet - but it’s already sparked a rift among black New Yorkers over who should be eligible for payouts. **SNIP** Bertha Lewis, head of the Brooklyn-based Black Institute, told The Post that reparations must be considered for all black residents, because they have suffered from decades of systemic racism resulting from slavery - even if they are not direct descendants of slaves. “That’s a false narrative,” Lewis said. “I don’t give a f**k what California did.” “You can’t just...

    FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh has been given a not-so-nice name after she said officials would try to identify firefighters that erupted in jeers on Thursday at New York Attorney General Letitia James, who previously vowed to take down former President Donald Trump. The Daily Mail reported Saturday that Kavanagh has been labeled a “fascist pit bull” for planning to go after the first responders.

    New York’s partisan Attorney General Letitia James was loudly booed at a ceremony for the New York Fire Department on Thursday. While speaking at the event, James is heard praising FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh, right before a large number of individuals in the audience begin shouting former President Trump’s name.

    New York Governor Kathy Hochul told subway riders who refuse to submit to bag checks to 'go home.' Her comments came as she defended stationing 750 national guard members at the Big Apple's busiest stations in a bid to clamp down on the rampant violence rocking the network. The guard members will be checking passengers' bags for weapons as they enter the system. Talking to Fox5, Hochul was asked what passengers who did not want their belonging searched should do. 'Go home,' she answered bluntly. 'We're not going to search you—you can say no. But you're not taking the subway.'...

    WEST BABYLON, Suffolk County (WABC) -- The four people arrested in connection with human remains found scattered across Long Island are out on supervised release. Steven Brown, 44, Jeffrey Mackey, 38, and Amanda Wallace, 40, all of Amityville, along with Alexis Nieves, 33, who is homeless, were all charged Wednesday with first-degree hindering prosecution, tampering with physical evidence, and concealment of a human corpse. They have not been charged with the killing of the two victims, which means they are free to go until their next court appearances or until they face more charges while authorities gather more evidence. The...

    Ed Cox must resign. He is a donkey in Elephant’s clothing. It has been discovered that Cox, chairman of the New York Republican State Committee, sits on the board of “League of Conservation Voters” (“LCV”) — which controls a network of at least five PACs, all registered as liberal and attached to a broader national network of far left Super PACs, including the “Beat Trump Climate Unity Fund.” The mission of these PACs is twofold: support Democratic and far-left politicians, such as “Squad” members Rashida Talib and Ayanna Pressley, and even Letitia James, Tom Suozzi, and Kirsten Gillibrand, who received...

    Times Square is evacuated after a grenade was found in the back of Uber as anti-Israel protestors make their way through New York City preventing NYPD from reaching the device. An Uber driver turned to look in the backseat after dropping a passenger off on 42nd Street and 7th Avenue in Times Square and saw the explosive device. The driver notified the police just after 4 pm and NYPD deployed the Emergency Services Unit and the Bomb Squad to the scene. Anti-Israel protestors were marching through the streets and blocking traffic at the time of the emergency.

    BABYLON, Suffolk County (WABC) -- A park in Babylon, Suffolk County reopened Friday after the discovery of several body parts belonging to a man and a woman the day before. A female head, leg and arm and two male arms were found, and autopsies are underway to determine the identities of the victims and what happened to them. The grisly discoveries began Thursday morning, when a group of teenagers walking near Babylon Memorial Grade School found a severed arm on the side of the road at the edge of Southard Pond Park.

    New York’s Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul is moving forward with her plan to retool the Civil Service Commission to put illegal aliens at the head of the line for state jobs. At the end of January, Hochul approved a plan for the state to hire 4,000 illegal aliens for entry-level state jobs. Not only is the state preparing to put illegals at the head of the line, but the plan Hochul approved eliminates several requirements for illegals to be eligible for the jobs. The rules requiring applicants to take the civil service exam and to have a high school diploma...

    New York Democrats rammed through new congressional maps that’ll give the party an edge in this year’s elections – then created new limits on legal challenges to their changes during an “emergency” vote Wednesday. The vote on the Democratic-friendly maps happened so quickly after they were officially pitched that Gov. Kathy Hochul had to issue an emergency order to allow lawmakers to act. With lawsuits looming to challenge their plan, state lawmakers also passed a bill that limits the filing of lawsuits against the changes to Democrat-friendly counties Erie, Albany, Westchester and New York. The redrawn maps — which came...

    Even though New York's discretionary "may issue" laws were ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 2022's Bruen decision, some licensing authorities in the state are still using some awfully subjective criteria to determine whether or not an applicant will receive a concealed carry permit. In Nassau County, for instance, applicants must submit a list of all former and current social media accounts used within the past 3 years, so police can pore over the content for evidence of "good moral character", along with a notarized statement attesting to any minors that live full or part-time with the applicant as...

    Gov. Kathy Hochul is facing heat over a green push targeting a key chemical used in refrigerators and air conditioners that critics say could force business owners to shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars in new equipment. Small business owners warned the aggressive timetable to phase out hydrofluorocarbons, or HFCs, starting next year, could cripple businesses, icing out jobs and triggering price hikes on food items and other consumer products, as they attempt to comply with the costly mandate. “The rule will increase the cost of business for us. What we get from the state is nothing but a...

    A New York appeals court upheld a prior ruling that struck down a New York City law giving local voting rights to nearly a million foreign nationals. As Breitbart News chronicled, Democrats on the 51-member New York City Council approved a plan in January 2022 that gave more than 800,000 foreign nationals with green cards, visas, and work permits the opportunity to vote in citywide elections so long as they have resided in the city for at least 30 consecutive days. Black New Yorkers, along with naturalized American citizens, the New York State Republican Party, the Republican National Committee (RNC),...
