New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) said Monday that fresh produce, meat, seafood and other staples will be sold at a 30 percent discount in the city-run grocery stores he wants to open in every borough. Mamdani, who made city-run grocery stores and affordability key components of his campaign last year, said the stores would save the average shopper about $1,000 annually. “For many, that 30 percent discount is the difference between an evening spent around the dinner table with family or working another double shift to make ends meet,” said Mamdani, adding that the discount roughly equates to the...

A six-year-old autistic boy was suspended from a school in Georgia after he bit his sandwich into the shape of a gun and pointed it at his classmate, his family said. John Medina, a first-grader at Sara Harp Minter Elementary School in Fayette County, was kicked out last March after administrators saw what happened, according to his parents and school records, Atlanta News First reported. Kristin Medina, the boy's mother, recalled the school calling her and saying her son was not welcome back after the lunchtime incident. 'And you're just like baffled,' Kristin told the outlet, stating that she believes...

President Donald Trump secured one of the biggest constitutional victories of his presidency after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a 91 year old precedent that had limited a president’s authority to remove officials from so called “independent” federal agencies. In a 6 to 3 ruling, the Court held that presidents have the constitutional authority to remove officials serving in executive branch agencies, striking down key parts of the Court’s 1935 decision in Humphrey’s Executor v. United States. The ruling immediately gives Trump the authority to remove Federal Trade Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter, a Democrat whose case became the central test of...

The Trump administration on Monday asked the Supreme Court to allow it to fully implement an executive order signed by President Trump that seeks to impose additional restrictions on mail-in voting. U.S. Solicitor General John Sauer called an order by a federal judge in Massachusetts that paused portions of the order in 23 states and the District of Columbia “extraordinary,” and he argued that it “flouts settled” doctrines governing when courts can weigh in on a dispute. Sauer also asked the court to issue an immediate administrative stay–an order that temporarily puts the lower court’s order on hold while the...

When you have been a medical professional, there are a lot of things that you'll never be able to unsee. Things like severe anal lacerations. Things like fungus in places where it should not be. Things like genital warts and sores. Things like diseases such as hepatitis, monkeypox, and full-bore AIDS. Things like balls, beads, and light bulbs shoved up into a person's large intestine. Things like cancers that a normal person would usually be able to avoid having. Things like "meth mouth" caused by selling one's body. Things like walking corpses barely able to stand. Things like depression, of...

[Catholic Caucus] Spanish cardinal says post-Vatican II liturgical reforms have turned Masses into ‘parody’Cardinal Antonio María Rouco Varela mentioned in an interview several examples of abuses that have reduced the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass to a 'game among buddies.'Cardinal Antonio María Rouco Varela, the archbishop emeritus of Madrid, said during an interview this week that rampant liturgical abuses since the Second Vatican Council have turned the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass into a “parody.”While discussing the sacred liturgy and his recent call for the restoration of Summorum Pontificum during an interview with the Spanish newspaper El Debate published July...

The basket of goods comes with a basket of questions. Mayor Zohran Mamdani is pitching a vague discount of 30% “below typical retail prices” on a “core basket of goods” at his promised city-owned grocery stores — but New Yorkers aren’t buying it. Folks interviewed by The Post have a list of questions about how the discount would work, what few items they’d have to choose from, and how much it would cost taxpayers to subsidize the lefty mayor’s scheme. “F--- that,” said Deborah, a 53-year-old lifelong Harlem resident. “We’re all paying for that. So, all the s--- we buy...

The identities were buried.Foreign-agent filings reveal that operatives working for a Chinese Communist Party-linked influence organization planned free trips for American journalists based on the potential for “favorable coverage” and sought to “effectively disseminate positive messages” about Beijing.But the filings did not plainly identify the reporters who received the access.By cross-referencing the filings with archived newsletters, annual reports and contemporaneous accounts, this investigation has uncovered the names of prominent American journalists who participated in China trips organized or funded by the China-United States Exchange Foundation, or CUSEF.

NaLyssa Smith is having her say on the cheating allegations posed against her by ex-girlfriend DiJonai Carrington.

Hours after the public callout on Threads, the Aces foward took to Twitch to address the situation in a nearly nine-minute video. She didn’t confirm nor deny the allegations against her. “Whether she cheated on me and I cheated on her, why are we bringing that to the internet a year later when nobody did anything to anybody? Whether...

There are only two lanes to the Democratic presidential nomination two years from now, and one of them is already blocked—by Kamala Harris. Get ready for the Kamala comeback, followed, in all likelihood, by a replay of her crushing defeat by the Republican nominee. Believe it or not, the ex-VP occupies what counts as the “center lane” within the party, and for most of the last three decades that’s the one that’s led to the nomination. Republicans used to be the party of orderly succession, even if the candidate whose turn had come looked like a certain loser: think Bob...

WASHINGTON — Former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Director Dr. Anthony Fauci admitted in newly released diary entries to having several private discussions with a since-indicted adviser whom he disavowed before Congress in June 2024. For years, Fauci faced intense political and scientific backlash over US funding for the Wuhan Institute of Virology — but denied that such experiments for so-called “gain of function” research, which can increase the transmissibility or infectiousness of viruses, ever occurred.The then-NIAID chief also testified that he had no knowledge of his longtime senior adviser David Morens — who was indicted in...

What the Welfare State UnleashedFrom dignity to dependence to thievery.America’s debate over poverty has undergone a remarkable—and troubling—transformation. Two centuries ago, the central challenge was persuading needy people to accept public assistance. Today, the challenge is preventing people from fraudulently claiming benefits to which they were never entitled.That trajectory tells us something profound about the nation’s changing moral culture.Alexis de Tocqueville noticed something remarkable when he traveled through America in the early 1830s. Unlike Europe, where poverty often produced permanent dependence upon the state or aristocratic patrons, Americans possessed an almost universal determination to remain independent. They formed voluntary associations...

Audio recordings that former President Joe Biden fought for years to keep private have now been released. The roughly 70 hours of audio recordings, shared with CBS News, were cited in a 2024 special counsel's report, which said Biden kept volumes of notes at his home that included classified information. Biden, now 83, is at one point in the recordings heard telling his ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer: "Some of this may be classified … So, be careful. I'm not sure ... It's not marked classified but —" At another point in the recordings he says again: "The next thing I have...

First lady Melania Trump and son Barron are the latest targets of Iran’s sick anti-US propaganda. A new video out of Iran is encouraging supporters of the Islamic regime to assassinate President Trump’s wife. Entitled “How to Kill Melania Trump,” the video shows images of the first lady in the motorcade and in some locations around New York City, even naming some of the designer stores that she shops. The shopping excursions could be “suitable for operations by global freedom fighters,” the video noted. It also suggested using a nerve agent to poison any clothes the first lady might purchase.

Few recent elections have attracted more interest than Thomas Massie’s Republican primary loss to Ed Gallrein in Kentucky’s Fourth District. While the media focused on the feud between Massie and President Trump, they missed a more interesting story in the voting patterns, which revealed a sharp generational divide within the conservative coalition. If this growing divide is ignored, it could endanger the conservative movement—and even land Trump officials behind bars. In the final vote, Gallrein won by 10 points. Yet polling by Quantus Insights showed Massie carried every age cohort under 55 by double digits and held a vast 56-point...

Thirty-two college students have failed part of their history midterm exam after falling for an AI-cheat trap when they blindly copying ChatGPT-generated answers without bothering to proofread thoroughly. Jason Gibson, a history professor at Alcorn State University in Mississippi, secretly embedded a hidden prompt in the exam instructions using a white font, invisible to students but readable by AI chatbots if the instructions were copied and pasted. The prompt instructed the AI to randomly insert absurd nonsense about Madagascar into every response. Instead of answering questions about the Industrial Revolution, dozens of students unknowingly turned in essays declaring that "Madagascar...
