Police were seen this week digging and searching for a body, believed to be buried under the parking lot of a Los Gatos strip mall and which dates back to a cold case homicide.

On Tuesday morning, there was a tent set up outside of Gardino’s Italian Restaurant on Santa Cruz Avenue. The actual digging site is behind the Site for Sore Eyes store front. The site looked well established, with a police car, a white...

"This is the Portland Police Bureau. Stop throwing things at officers," blasted the command from the Portland, Oregon, police bureau's "LRAD" sound system in downtown Portland earlier this month. "If it continues, this event will be declared a civil disturbance." In response, the crowd of several hundred left-wing protesters—many of them masked—laughed and chanted, "ACAB! All cops are bastards!" A group of them continued to hurl projectiles like rocks, concrete and food at police. Some vehicles driving by had incendiary devices thrown at them. A nearby war memorial was vandalized with antifa symbols and messages urging people to "kill cops."...

Nothing illustrates the folly of our 18-year-long nation-building mission in Afghanistan better than the partial peace bought by a months-long negotiation breaking down after just 72 hours. #BREAKING Taliban ends partial truce, to resume Afghan 'operations': spokesman AFP also reports, "three killed, 11 injured in blast in east Afghanistan," so you know the Taliban wasn't kidding around. The "operation," as the Taliban likes to call it, or "savage terror attack," as any honest person would call it, was in response to confusion between the Trump White House and the Afghan central government over the release of up to 5,000 Taliban...

Quick question: Why is Chris Matthews out of a job and Joy Reid still employed at NBC News? We’ll explore that fascinating double-standard at play over at the Peacock Network in a moment. First of all, everyone at MSNBC knew Matthews was a problem. I mean, I was only on MSNBC a few times in early 2017 and I witnessed one of his tirades directed at his long-suffering staff. I was sitting in the green room at the NBC News location on Nebraska Ave. in North West DC. I was due for an appearance on a mid-day program and “Mr....

Lots of adjustments are being made in the corporate world in response to the coronavirus. Conferences are being canceled, travel is being restricted, and some companies are telling employees to work from home instead of coming into the office. It all makes sense, of course, if we think about it. Why place yourself in an enclosed environment with lots of other people, particularly in areas that are reporting outbreaks of COVID-19, if you don’t have to? Why take the chance of being exposed to the coronavirus if there is an alternative? Twitter is now telling employees in Hong Kong,...

The confusingly numbered “Proposition 13” on the March 3 statewide ballot will waste taxpayer dollars, needlessly increase the state’s debt burden and encourage school districts to issue more debt, raising property tax bills. Voters should reject it. Passed in a rush by the Legislature as Assembly Bill 48, this Prop. 13 is a grab-bag of goodies for the well-connected. For Wall Street bond underwriters and investors, it’s $15 billion in general obligation bonds that will cost taxpayers about $26 billion when decades of interest costs are added. The Legislative Analyst’s Office estimates that Prop. 13 will cost taxpayers $740 million...

We are set up for a contest here between old and older on the Democrat side. Crazy Bernie and Joe Biden with Donald Trump, the youngest man running for president in the year 2020. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: One of my many proteges out there, Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA, just had some interesting observations. The Democrat presidential race is now between two Marxists, Fauxcahontas and...

A Denver city councilwoman appeared to cheer on a message about spreading the coronavirus at one of President Trump's rallies. Councilwoman Candi CdeBaca, a Democrat, enthusiastically responded last week to a tweet that featured a graphic that said, “For the record, if I do get the coronavirus I’m attending every MAGA rally I can." Her quote tweet said, "#solidarity Yaaaas!!" along with five emojis, three of which were faces laughing so hard that they were crying. The councilwoman later responded to a reporter's tweet, saying, "1. Are you listening to ANYTHING Trump has said about the virus? 2. Do you...

As a moderate, the late Arizona Senator John McCain was and is a political hero of mine. While I did not always agree with everything John McCain stood for, I respect the fact that he stood up for what he believed in, I respect his service to our country, I respect that he didn’t view compromise as a weakness, and I respect his campaign message of “Country First.” Many people nowadays when they hear America First, think of it as a nationalistic dog whistle thanks to President Trump. This however, was not what John McCain meant when he used the...

News veterans Shepard Smith, Steve Kornacki and Joy Reid are all on the shortlist to take over Chris Matthews’ abruptly vacated seat on MSNBC’s “Hardball,” sources told The Post. The legendary political journalist surprised viewers Monday when he abruptly announced his retirement in the wake of accusations that he acted inappropriately toward a female guest, leaving Kornacki, a national political correspondent, to fill in. In addition to Kornacki, who is known for giving analysis of polls and election results, network brass are also thinking of giving “Hardball” to Reid, who hosts, MSNBC’s popular weekend show “AM Joy.” Reid frequently substitutes...

Liberals opening our doors to criminals are “chumming” for votes while taking all innocent citizens down the toilet with them. One thing I cannot understand is why Liberals seem to want sex offenders, criminal gangs, drug dealers, murderers, criminal illegal aliens, rapists and thieves and so on. Why do they want them around and even protect them if they can? But while President Trump is draining the swamp innocent people are losing their lives because of these so-called sanctuary states and their liberal policies. An illegal alien in Maryland killed two law enforcement officers on the road He was given...
