    PHILADELPHIA — Maybe money really can’t buy everything. Pennsylvania Republican Senate candidate Kathy Barnette now appears to be running neck-and-neck with the two big-spending front-runners, Mehmet Oz and David McCormick, just days before the May 17 primary, according to a new poll. Barnette, a conservative commentator who has run a tireless campaign on a shoestring budget, had the support of 23.2% of likely GOP voters in the survey released late Sunday by the Republican Trafalgar Group. That put her right alongside Oz (24.5%) and McCormick (21.6%). Factoring in a margin of error of 3 percentage points, the poll suggests the...

    An NYPD cop tracked his wife and her young new lover to a hotel — then fatally shot the man before killing himself in the horrific love triangle gone awry, law enforcement sources told The Post on Monday. Crazed off-duty Officer Sean Armstead, 36, had followed spouse Alexandra Vanderheyden, 35, and her 20-year-old beau, Edward Wilkins, to a La Quinta Inn in upstate Wallkill around 10:30 p.m. Sunday, sources said. Vanderheyden told investigators she believes that Armstead tracked her through her cellphone, sources said.
  • Democrats want to boost Biden Ukraine aid plan to near $40B

    AP ^ | 9 minutes ago | ALAN FRAM
    Congressional Democrats are preparing a plan that would boost President Joe Biden’s requested $33 billion Ukraine aid package to nearly $40 billion, and a House vote is possible as soon as Tuesday, two people familiar with lawmakers’ thinking said. In a retreat, Biden conceded that the package should not contain any of the additional billions he’s requested to combat COVID-19. Republicans, whose backing would be crucial to pushing legislation through the evenly divided Senate, have opposed adding that money to the Ukraine aid. “We cannot afford delay in this vital war effort,” Biden said in a written statement. “Hence, I...
  • Woman, 27, who had a mastectomy and took male hormones for six years is DE-TRANSITIONING back to being female after realizing being a man 'didn't represent who she is'

    At the age of 18, one woman found that she was not comfortable in the body she was born in and began the journey of transitioning to male. Now, after spending six years completing the process, Alia Ismail, 27, from Michigan, is de-transitioning back to female after realising that her new identity did not represent who she was. Alia began to use male pronouns and dress more masculine at 18, undergoing a medical transition at the age of 20, and taking hormones to increase testosterone. The 27-year-old legally changed her name to Issa in August 2015 and underwent a double...

    A top artificial intelligence executive at Apple is leaving the company over its return-to-office policy, according to a report. The news comes as Apple orders all corporate employees to return to the office for three days per week — a stricter policy than Big Tech competitors like Meta, Google and Amazon, which are allowing at least some employees to work remotely forever. Director of machine learning Ian Goodfellow announced his resignation last week, telling colleagues that CEO Tim Cook’s push to get employees back into the office had driven him out.

    A Trump-appointed federal judge denied a request from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to dismiss a lawsuit against the Biden administration for its catch and release policy, ***. Judge T. Kent Wetherell II refused to dismiss the suit, writing that laws "clearly and unambiguously state that aliens arriving at the border 'shall be detained,' not that they may be detained," and that "the cited provisions of §1225 expressly require aliens to be detained until removal proceedings have concluded, and that §1182(d)(5)(A) does not authorize Defendants to circumvent the mandatory detention requirement as it is allegedly doing through the challenged...

    Demonstrators in Poland's capital on Monday attacked Russia's ambassador with red paint and prevented him from laying flowers at a cemetery for Soviet soldiers to commemorate the victory over Nazi Germany. When the delegation led by Russian Ambassador Sergei Andreev appeared at Warsaw's Mausoleum Cemetery, hundreds of protesters opposed to Russia's war in Ukraine greeted them with shouts of "murderers" and "fascists." While Andreev was stuck in the crowd, two bags of red paint hit him in the head, first from behind, then directly in the face. The demonstrators then prevented him from laying flowers and a memorial wreath for...

    Shocking video footage captured a woman punching a Philly McDonald's worker who took exception to being called a 'ho' - before the aggressor and her pals stormed the kitchen and attacked staff while shrieking with laughter. The viral video posted to World Star captures the moment the female driver leans over to hand the worker at the drive-thru payment for their order and punches her instead. She and her cronies then marched into the restaurant's kitchen to continue the violence while toting a broom and giant plastic safety cone. Just moments earlier, the driver pulls up to the drive-thru window...

    CNN’s fact checker Daniel Dale pushed back on President Biden’s recent claim that his policies had helped to reduce the federal deficit – revealing that one expert told him that the Democrat’s assertion was “almost bizarro world” in its misrepresentation of the situation. “Let me remind you again: I reduced the federal deficit,” Biden said a speech last Wednesday. “All the talk about the deficit from my Republican friends, I love it. I’ve reduced $350 billion in my first year in office.” Biden made the claim while touting his administration’s economic track record – despite fierce criticism from Republican lawmakers...

  • States battle over abortion: New York announces bid to help pregnant women get terminations while Texas says it will STOP those who travel out of state if Roe v. Wade is overturned

    While liberal states like New York are promising to receive abortion-seeking patients from other states with open arms if Roe v. Wade is overturned, Texas lawmakers are pushing for a bill to ban residents looking to end their pregnancy in another state from doing so. Though it's unsurprising the 6-3 conservative majority on the high court would look to overturn Roe, a leaked Supreme Court draft opinion last week revealed a majority of justices are in favor of overturning the 1973 landmark abortion case sent shockwaves across the nation and spurred local lawmakers into action. Here's a look at what...

    Casey White is a dangerous survivalist with no regard for human life, more likely to go out in a hail of bullets than surrender, DailyMail.com can reveal. This is the view of a man who served time with White, 38, and has spent time with him both in and out of prison. Robert McBay, 29, spoke exclusively to DailyMail.com as the manhunt for White and former corrections officer Vicky White, 56 (no relation) enters its eleventh day. McBay, who was born and raised in Limestone, Alabama, served time with Casey in 2015 when the fugitive was arrested after a violent...

    Below is my column in the Hill on the leak and the refusal of President Joe Biden to denounce such conduct. It is a defining moment for his presidency that, even in the face of such a disgraceful and unethical act, the President cannot muster the courage to condemn it. He then magnified that failure by refusing to condemn the doxing and targeting of justices and their families at their homes. Here is the column: Nearly 70 years ago, a little-known lawyer named Joseph Welch famously confronted Sen. Joseph McCarthy (D-Wis.) in defense of a young man hounded over alleged...

    Over the last 2 months I've probably put in 3 weeks of work to write and research three FR vanities that look at the fraudulent side of Georgia politics that Governor Brian Kemp has enabled. Many thanks to qaz123 for helping to put this program together -- and for pointing me in the direction of the Rivan and Hollywood frauds which I was not even aware of 2 months ago. The vanities summarize the major reasons, and I believe they are an easy read with some images that educate and get people to read. I guess 85% of Georgia Republicans...

    CNN has a problem. It wants to do real news on cable television. That goal was made clear again last week. In a memo issued on his first official day as the head of CNN, Chris Licht told his staff “too many people have lost trust in the news media.” The best way to recover trust, he wrote, was “educating viewers and readers with straightforward facts and insightful commentary, while always being respectful of differing viewpoints.” Good luck with that. Here’s the challenge facing the nearly 42-year-old network: Real news is for the curious. At its best, television news is...
