PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — A cat is in extremely critical condition after being attacked by two dogs in the Frankford neighborhood Tuesday. Authorities are looking for two people seen on security video provoking the attack. "The individuals on this video appear to think this was funny since they were seen smiling and laughing,” said Nicole Wilson, the director of humane law enforcement and shelter operations for the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. "We don't know whether the cat will survive. The cat’s back isn't broken, but there are multiple internal injuries." She said two people were...

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) -- It was shaping up to be a beautiful afternoon in Mid-City. The Mascar household was even preparing to celebrate a birthday. “I was yoga power walking on the Lafitte greenway,” said Leanne Mascar. That all came to a screeching halt around 1:30 in the afternoon near the intersection of North Scott and Bienville when neighbor Todd Ecker saw a gray car pull into the intersection. “It was dragging a lady by the seatbelt outside the car. The door had closed on the seatbelt, and she was stuck in it… I got out of my vehicle screaming...

On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) argued that Russia is not participating in the Iran nuclear deal negotiations “in a legitimate or honest way” and is trying to get around sanctions and ensure a market for their oil. She warned that “we have to be very careful in not negotiating against ourselves,” and that “any negotiations with regard to an Iran deal will be quite difficult to accomplish in the near term.”

A new study reveals a shocking truth bomb that tens of millions of Americans are struggling to survive in Biden’s ‘Build Back Better’ economy as inflation tears apart working poor households. Researchers from left-leaning Economic Policy Oxfam America, an anti-poverty advocacy group, published a study Tuesday titled “The crisis of low wages in the US” and found 31.9% of the US workforce, or about 51.9 million workers, are earning less than $15 an hour, equivalent to less than $31,200. “It’s shameful that at a time when many US companies are boasting record profits, some of the hardest working people in...

Trisha Paddock, a mother of 3, suffered a “major” heart attack at the finish line and died at the hospital after being put on life support ... Trisha Paddock of Rancho Palos Verdes was running in the 13.1-mile Charity Challenge where all participants were fundraising for one of the race’s official charities.

Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday released the long-awaited details of his tax refund plan to send $400 to Californians for each registered vehicle, a move that would put more money in the pockets of families who own more cars — even the state’s highest-income residents — and exclude those without cars from receiving the payments. *** The governor, who is up for reelection this year, would cap payments at $800 for any person with more than one vehicle registered under the person’s name, though households with multiple vehicles registered to different family members could receive far more than that amount....

Another transgender woman — born as a biological male — has been turned back by Ukrainian officials at the Polish border and told to fight for the country. Transgender individuals have been legally recognised in Ukraine since 2017, however, despite being allowed to change their legal gender, the Ukrainian border force has reportedly been carrying out their own physical gender inspections in order to determine if people will be permitted to flee the country or be banned from leaving the country under the martial law restrictions which require all Ukrainian men aged between 18 and 60 to stay and fight...

ORLANDO, FL—In a bold statement against Florida's recently passed bill which prohibits teachers from discussing inappropriate sexual topics with kindergarteners, Disney World has unveiled its latest attraction: "Sodom & Gomorrah." "We here at Disney stand proudly with those who seek to indoctrinate small children in gender ideology," said CEO Bob Chapek. "That's why we've decided to unveil this exciting new thrill ride—and allow kids of all ages to ride it!" While waiting in line, small children and their parents will be educated by a voice recording about masturbation, the gender unicorn, safe kink, abortion, and BDSM. Once they board the...

This is the moment a brave woman tried to stop three masked robbers from raiding a spa in Manhattan this past weekend. The three perpetrators entered the Rescue Spa on East 19th Street in Manhattan's Flatiron district shortly after 2:30pm on Saturday afternoon, according to police, where they stole over $3,000 worth of products. At first, the trio looked to be browsing the shelves nonchalantly, but it quickly became apparent they were filling their pockets with merchandise. Upon realizing the crooks' true intentions, a woman stepped forward to confront one of them, who knocked a stack of merchandise to the...

Trustees of California State University, the largest four-year university system in the nation, agreed Wednesday to permanently drop the SAT and ACT standardized tests in its admissions process, solidifying the state’s national role in eliminating the high-stakes exams because of equity concerns. The move comes after the University of California system led the way, making the bold decision in 2020 to drop the exams, triggering a national debate over whether the tests unfairly discriminate against disadvantaged students or provide a useful tool to evaluate college applicants. *** Trustee Yammilette Rodriguez said Tuesday that the decision is personally meaningful to her...

On any given day this year, Customs and Border Patrol may encounter more than 5,400 illegal immigrants making their way into the United States. To give that number some context, it means more people are caught entering America illegally every week than make up the entire population of Panama City, Florida. And that’s not counting the ones who are never caught.

Sen. Cory Booker cut through a tense third day of hearings on the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson on Wednesday with a speech on racial progress that drew tears from the nominee and held the rapt attention of colleagues. Booker, a Black Democrat from New Jersey, said he could no longer hold back his emotion over how Jackson has conducted herself in the face of combative questioning about her handling of child pornography cases, her representation of accused terrorists and her views on anti-racism teaching in schools. “You faced insults here that were shocking to me,” Booker...

Uncanny predictions of Ukraine's war from April 2021 by former Russian MP Nevzorov

Police have discovered a mountain of stolen bikes in a man's back garden so big it could be seen - on Google Earth. The pile of bicycles visible via satellite were discovered at a property in Oxford, England. Police officers visited the house on Giles Road, Littlemore - and found what looked like hundreds of bikes. ..."Cracks me up no one spotted it sooner. Surely you'd think it suspicious to have a garden overflowing with bikes?" Many agreed with this sentiment, wondering "Did the neighbors not think it strange...?"

Hunter Biden, 52, is no different from Barron Trump, 16, and should be shielded from public criticism "regardless of the veracity of the allegations" against him, an aspiring Democratic politician said Sunday. Allen B. Glines, who runs the Allen B. Glines Center for Public Advocacy and briefly sought the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in Utah before withdrawing, slammed Republican lawmakers for "harassing" the adult son of President Joe Biden and argued the former crack fiend should sue them "for defamation and get restraining orders." "They quaked and whined whenever Barron Trump's name was mentioned, but they're fine with a...

Mayor Eric Adams will ease the city’s private-sector vaccination mandate so Nets star Kyrie Irving — and some possibly unvaccinated Mets and Yankees — can compete at home, a source familiar with the matter said Wednesday. Adams is expected to announce the reversal of his earlier stance on Thursday, the source told The Post. The move will cover Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, home to the Nets, as well as Yankee Stadium in The Bronx, the Mets’ Citi Field in Queens and Manhattan’s famed Madison Square Garden, home to both the Knicks and the Rangers, the source said. Yankees slugger Aaron Judge...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday called for people around the world to turn out in squares, on streets and in schoolyards in support of Ukraine. Zelensky called for global rallies to begin on Thursday, one month after Russia invaded Ukraine.

Almost exactly a year ago, writer Katherine Dee, who blogs about internet culture and trend forecasting, predicted what she called a “coming wave of sex negativity.” Sex positivity, she suggested, had created new stigmas, including around discussing the harms of sex work and self-commodification. “People do not want to be atomized,” she wrote, adding, “Nobody wants this dystopia.” Not everything Ms. Dee foresaw — like a shift toward earlier childbearing among the upper-middle class — has come to pass, at least so far. But she nailed an emerging movement, one that now has a manifesto in “Rethinking Sex: A Provocation”...
