A synthetic opioid described as 'fentanyl on steroids' was seized in a Florida drug bust, according to police. West Palm Beach police confiscated $1.6 million worth of N-Desethyl Isotonitazene - known as ISO - during a raid, reported WPBF. Authorities discovered the deadly drug in powder, pill and brick form while executing search warrants on a home and a storage unit earlier in July. '[The substances] came back as 50 times more potent than normal fentanyl that we normally deal with,' Lt. Joe Herb said. 'Fentanyl is normally very dangerous. Now, we're talking about 50 times stronger.' Police said the...

Vice President Kamala Harris was rated the most liberal senator in 2019 — further left than even Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) — according to a GovTrack scorecard. Harris, whom President Joe Biden opted to back after announcing that he will not seek reelection after all, was viewed as the most liberal senator prior to her becoming vice president. According to the GovTrack.us, the ideology analysis assigns a score to lawmakers according to their “legislative behavior by whether they sponsor and cosponsor overlapping sets of bills and resolutions with other Members of Congress.” “The score can be interpreted as a left—right...

President Joe Biden spoke publicly for the first time since bowing out of the presidential race on Sunday, vowing to campaign for Vice President Kamala Harris while remaining president despite calls for him to resign. It is unclear if Harris wants Biden’s help on the campaign trail. They both have similar average favorability and approval ratings in the mid-30s “I’m not going anywhere,” he told supporters on a Harris campaign call. “I’m going to be out there and campaign with her, with Kamala,” he continued, with a raspy voice. “I’m going to be working like hell, both as a sitting...

A storm is brewing as lawmakers and the public demand answers following the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. On Monday, U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle found herself at the center of a heated congressional hearing, addressing security lapses that could have ended disastrously. Bipartisan frustration has been palpable as representatives from both sides of the aisle have confronted Cheatle and questioned the Secret Service. The shooting in Pennsylvania has led to calls from several lawmakers for Cheatle’s resignation. Now, the Oversight Project, a watchdog group with the Heritage Foundation, released a report that could potentially link Thomas...

"Fight! Fight!"Earlier this month, former United States President Donald Trump was grazed by a bullet in the ear during an assassination attempt. Immediately after he was brought to his feet, Trump sent a message to his supporters by pumping his fist in the air and saying “fight! fight!” And one Major League Baseball star made reference to that moment during a game this weekend. During Sunday afternoon’s game between the Tampa Bay Rays and the New York Yankees, Rays star shortstop Taylor Walls hit a double at the top of the fifth inning, and he sent quite a strong...

Organisers want to push positive image of multiculturalism at Friday's extravaganza on SeineThe Paris 2024 Olympic Summer Games opening ceremony on July 26 is expected to celebrate the country's diversity while poking fun at Parisian stereotypes in a country mired in political disputes. Set to take place over 6km on the Seine river instead of a closed stadium, the high-profile event is expected to bring a breath of fresh air to an otherwise polarised France. "I expect positive aspects of immigration to be highlighted alongside the values of multiculturalism," sports historian Yvan Gastaut told The National. "We should expect a...

President Donald Trump began the new general election race with a majority of national support and a double-digit lead against Democrat frontrunner Vice President Kamala Harris, according to a poll. A Harris X/Forbes poll found Trump leading Harris 52 percent to 42 percent among 2,169 likely voters nationally. The survey, taken July 19-21, 2024, was conducted after journalist Mark Halperin’s accurate July 18 report that President Joe Biden would stand down as the presumptive nominee on Sunday amid a behind-the-scenes pressure campaign from his own party. Another six percent of likely voters were undecided between Trump and Harris. When pressed...

The most eye-popping part of the latest news about Sen. Justine Wadsack, alleged criminal speeder, is not the way she tried to use her status as a state senator to wiggle out of a traffic ticket. It is not her sense of entitlement or her bizarre claim of “political persecution” after she was clocked going 71 mph in a 35 mph zone. No, it’s the reason Sen. Speed Demon was hurtling down the road in Tucson late one Friday night, near the family home she says she doesn’t live in — a house that is miles outside her legislative district.

NEW - Whistleblowers tell me law enforcement personnel were in fact STATIONED to the roof the day of the Trump rally, but abandoned it, citing the heat. They also say law enforcement were supposed to be patrolling the building, but opted to stay inside instead

Donald Trump told The Post on Monday that Veep Kamala Harris is “vicious and dumb,” railing against his potential presidential rival in one of his first interviews since President Biden dropped his bid for a second term. “There are two words to describe Kamala Harris. Vicious and dumb, it’s a bad combination,” the 78-year-old Republican presidential nominee said the day after Biden dropped out of the race and urged Democrats to unite behind his vice president as the party’s top candidate in the Nov. 5 election. ...

A professional soccer game was suspended in Norway when fans threw fish cakes and other objects onto the field to protest the use of a Video Assistant Referee, or VAR. The Norwegian Eliteserien game between Rosenborg BK and Lillestrom was initially stopped mere minutes after kickoff due to the fish cakes raining down on the field. Players returned to the field from the locker room, but the game was stopped a second time when fans from both sides continued to throw fish cakes, and started adding tennis balls and smoke bombs into the mix. The game was officially suspended after...

ATLANTA -- Black voters expressed a mix of hope and worry Monday over Joe Biden’s exit from the presidential race and the prospect of Vice President Kamala Harris becoming the Democratic nominee. A key Democratic constituency, Black voters helped power Biden to victory in the 2020 primaries and ultimately to the White House, and they were among his most steadfast supporters, even as calls for him to quit grew. But as much pride as some Black Americans feel about the possibility of Harris, who is of Black and Indian descent, becoming president, the upending of the race has some voters...
