Sir Ian McKellen has been taken to hospital after falling off stage during a performance of Player Kings at the Noël Coward theatre in London. The 85-year-old actor was in a fight scene when he lost his footing and fell. It is not clear whether he has sustained any injuries. The audience was evacuated from the theatre and informed that the evening show was cancelled. Player Kings is a production of Henry IV, Parts One and Two, and started its 12-week West End run in April.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre unleashed at a reporter asking about Biden's bizarre freezing-up incidents over the past week. 'They are cheap fakes video. They are done in bad faith,' she said. Jean-Pierre was further pressed over a video last week showing Biden freezing during a Juneteenth concert on the White House lawn. 'The president stood there listening to the music and he didn't dance.' 'Excuse me, I did not know that not dancing was a mental..was a health issue,' she fired back. 'That is a weird thing to actually flag.' She was also asked about Biden wandering off...

Lawyers for Hunter Biden filed, and then quickly deleted, a demand for a new trial after he was found guilty on charges related to lying on a form for purchasing a handgun. Lawyers filed a new motion withdrawing their motion seeking a new trial nearly immediately after the first filing appeared, a Delaware court's website notes. 'The Motion for a New Trial (formerly DI 233) has been deleted at the request of counsel,' according to the 'correcting entry.' The legal confusion comes after the president's son was found guilty of three criminal charges in his blockbuster gun and drugs trial....

SEATTLE — Seattle Police are investigating after a man was found shot in a stairwell in the Mount Baker neighborhood. A 911 caller alerted police to the shooting in the 3600 block of 34th Avenue South at around 2 a.m. on Sunday. When police arrived, they found a 22-year-old man alive but seriously injured. Despite aid from officers and the Seattle Fire Department, the victim later died at Harborview Medical Center. According to Detective Brian Pritchard, there was an altercation that occurred before the shooting, but detectives couldn’t share more information about the circumstances as the homicide investigation is still...

South Carolina authorities are crediting a local reporter with helping them make a major breakthrough in a 1975 cold-case murder. The Greenville County Sheriff's Office on Monday revealed the identity of a murder victim named Oscar James Nedd, who was previously known only as Mr. X after a hunter found his body near Highway 20 and Blakely Road "wrapped in a sheet and smoldering, indicating it had been set on fire" in 1975. "Sheriff Hobart Lewis credits Brad Willis' podcast ‘Murder, Etc.’ for drawing attention to this case," the sheriff's office said in a Monday press release. Willis, a former...

A growing number of carbon storage projects are on the way across California, the US, and the world—a trend driven by growing government subsidies, looming national climate targets, and declining revenue and growth in traditional oil and gas activities. With these hundreds of looming projects, communities will be forced to weight the climate claims and environmental risks of capturing, moving, and storing carbon dioxide.

The latest well-coordinated plan among the legacy media to bail out Joe Biden's floundering reelection bid is coming clear this weekend. Biden's significant cognitive decline has become too much for even left-wing media outlets to ignore. The issue shows up repeatedly in the polls, where strong majorities do not believe that Biden is sharp enough to handle his current job, to say nothing of four more years as the leader of the free world. This is not a fixable problem, because Biden will only continue to decline. In response, the press had clearly decided that if they can't make Biden...

PHOENIX — B-24? A bingo caller shouted “Union jobs” and “Taking on Big Pharma” for seniors to fill with crayons cards that also included “Dr. Jill Biden” before the first lady herself showed up to address a crowd of roughly 250 Saturday afternoon — trying to ease concerns as her husband, 81, faces increasing public scrutiny regarding his mental acuity. Mere hours after the first lady’s event, President Biden undercut her message with his third viral moment in a week, appearing to freeze up at a celebrity-led Los Angeles fundraiser before former President Barack Obama led him off the stage....

A community of society-shunning Americans launched a survivalist haven in the Utah desert after finding themselves alienated from the modern world. Hundreds of people have set themselves up to live off the land under 'Operation Self-Reliance,' feeling that getting off-the-grid is the solution to a crumbling culture. The commune was established by Philip Gleason, 74, a former general contractor who felt a calling to allow people to grow their own food, pump their own water and rely on nothing but themselves. He admitted to Deseret News that while some choose to live there for environmental or health reasons, its intended...

One of the more common memes that I’ve seen white supremacists spread around recently has been “diversity is a code word for white genocide”. The concept here is that diversity is only promoted in white nations, and that the end goal is to eliminate white people altogether by flooding all white countries with non-white people until there are no white people left. Well, guess what, white supremacists? That’s exactly right. Diversity IS about getting rid of white people, and that’s a good thing. First off, I am a white person myself, so allow me to get that out of the...

After days of intense flooding in Florida, that state and many others are bracing for an intense heat wave, while the Pacific Northwest will experience unseasonably cold weather and the potential for late-season snow in the Rocky Mountains early next week. The chaotic weather map includes the potential for severe thunderstorms developing in between the hot and cold fronts. Forecasters said the colliding fronts could lead to areas of flash flooding between eastern Nebraska and northern Wisconsin on Saturday night, as well as strong storms across parts of eastern Montana into North and South Dakota. Meanwhile, a plume of tropical...

San Francisco recognized Pride Month differently this year — by declaring itself a sanctuary for transgender and gender non-conforming people. The city’s Board of Supervisors unanimously voted Tuesday in favor of the sanctuary status, making San Francisco one of the first major cities in the nation to do so. The resolution symbolically indicates those identifying as transgender, gender non-conforming, intersex and two-spirit are safe to seek transitioning health care and that providers are similarly safe, Los Angeles’ FOX 11 reported. “We have seen an influx of refugees, not just from other countries, but from other states who are seeking care...

It’s the melting pot of all scams. Russian gangsters, MS-13 members, and a cadre of corrupt surgeons, lawyers and lenders are pulling off the latest big con in the city: bogus personal-injury lawsuits where immigrants go under the knife to help their twisted ruse. Migrants and other desperate New Yorkers are pressured into getting unneeded spinal fusion surgery and other operations to boost the value of their fake-accident claims, according to court records, insurance investigators and law-enforcement sources. Doctors cash in on the sick swindle by performing back and neck fusions, allowing fraudsters to swipe billions through bogus insurance filings,...

Two armed men believed to be Venezuelan migrants — one of whom was carrying a fully automatic pistol — carjacked an off-duty NYPD officer in Harlem, law enforcement sources said. The men approached the officer while he was sitting inside his personal 2020 BMW around 11:30 p.m. Friday at West 146 Street and Bradhurst Avenue, sources said. The suspects, who had tattoos believed to be associated with a Venezuelan gang, had their weapons drawn. One of them knocked the officer’s gun out of his hand and demanded his keys. The pair then sped off into the night in the officer’s...

Hunter Biden’s conviction on felony gun charges increases the likelihood he could face stiffer penalties at his September tax-evasion trial should he be found guilty, an expert told The Post. One of Biden’s current mitigating factors for when he is sentenced by Judge Maryellen Noreika on the gun charges is the fact that he has no criminal history — something that won’t be true during his next trial in California overseen by Judge Mark C. Scarsi. Both jurists were appointed to the federal bench by former President Donald Trump. “It can undermine him in two ways. First, he cannot count...

Wealthy beach lovers are left devastated as they're forced to slash prices of their luxury seaside homes by millions due to climate change. Climate experts believe the rise in sea levels and unforgiving storms, intense rainfall and coastal flooding and erosion are the culprits putting homeowners in a precarious position - and the unpredictability of it all. The areas with some of the priciest real estate that have been hit the hardest include, Dana Point, California, to Long Island, New York, and Nantucket, Massachusetts, CNBC reported. In September, a beach front home on Nantucket that listed for $2.3 million, fell...

Historic news as 400 Russian soldiers have surrendered in central Vovchansk, the largest mass surrender of the entire war on the Russian side. These Russian forces were encircled at the chemical plant and for only 2 days held out until the surrender from today. Russian forces in the city are now seriously crippled with the loss of half a BTG. Meanwhile Ukrainian drone attacks continue to drive home damage into the Russian federation, as Russia takes high losses with very little gains.

House Oversight Chair James Comer indicated Republicans will soon release an interim report detailing alleged crimes uncovered in their impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden. Comer said in a Fox News interview that the report will show crimes committed by Biden and his administration during and after the Obama-Biden White House years. “I think that it’s no secret Joe Biden’s committed many crimes, and I think that you’re going to see a report very soon. That report is imminent,” Comer said. “That will probably be an interim report that updates everyone on the crimes that Biden and his administration have...

CHICAGO — A group of strangers who quickly befriended a man in Wrigleyville ended up robbing him early Saturday morning. The victim stepped out of his Uber on Clark Street, just south of Wrigley Field, when a group of two men and two women started chatting him up around 1:30 a.m., according to initial information. As the man walked home, his new friends tagged along, seeming quite friendly at first.
