Irina McCarthy, 35, and her husband Kevin McCarthy, 37, were at the parade with their toddler Aiden when a gunman disguised in women’s clothing opened fire on the Fourth of July celebration, turning the typically joyous event into a blood-soaked nightmare, officials said.

Rhode Island Democrat state senator Tiara Mack twerked upside down in a thong bikini in her latest campaign video posted to TikTok. The Democrat state lawmaker asked for votes as she twerked upside down at the beach on the Fourth of July. “Vote Senator Mack!” the Democrat said after twerking on the sand in her TikTok video captioned, “a promised senator thirst trap at Block Island.” The state lawmaker also sponsored a bill for teaching kids “queer inclusive, pleasure-based sex ed.” As expected, Tiara Mack received major backlash for her vulgar TikTok video. “Say what you will about repub/dem supporting...

The Pelosis may want to skip the wine tasting this time. A little more than a month after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband Paul was busted for DUI in California — leaving him facing jail time — the multi-millionaire couple was spotted at a ritzy resort on the Italian seaside owned by legendary tenor Andrea Bocelli. The Post exclusively obtained photos of the couple — Nancy dressed in all white with Paul clad in dark-colored shorts and shirt — hanging with Bocelli, his wife Veronica Berti, and others at the Alpemare Beach Club.

Fat, weak and slow is no way to become a cop — or is it? The NYPD dramatically relaxed the fitness requirements to become a city cop amid a record wave of retirements that has the brass desperate for warm bodies to fill the ranks, The Post has learned The department replaced a faux 6-foot wall inside the Police Academy gym with a chain-link fence that’s easier to climb, according to official recruiting videos posted online. The move came after a cellphone was used last year to record a series of out-of-shape, wannabe cops laughably trying — and failing —...

During a Monday airing of The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan vehemently shut down the possibility of interviewing the 45th President of the United States. I am not a Trump supporter, in any way, shape or form,' Rogan, 54, said. 'I have had the opportunity to have him on my show, more than once, and I have said no every time.' The controversial podcaster weighed in on the devastatingly polarized political spectrum in America and said he was not interested in giving Trump a platform because the former president is an 'existential threat to democracy itself.' 'It is already a weird...

On Monday, the country recorded that imports outstripped exports for more than 30 years. Its entire economy has been built around creating an industrial machine that dominates global markets. That machine is now grinding to a halt. Exports unexpectedly fell, while imports surged as the cost of energy spiked. Until recently it was racking up surpluses of 8 or 9 per cent of GDP, or €20 billion a month, the biggest in the world. The German economy is based on selling high-end industrial goods to the rest of the world. Unlike many other countries, it doesn’t have huge service industries...

We have an armed security guard sitting in front… I approached him and sternly asked him to leave...

Some highly puzzling messages were leaked to The Daily Caller from Cassidy Hutchinson reaching out to CPAC, the Conservatives Political Action Conference, for assistance with her “BS” subpoena from the Jan. 6th committee. But what does it mean? To be honest, I’m not entirely sure, but it confirms a lot of things, and simultaneously raises A LOT of questions. For starters, why the hell is Cassidy Hutchinson reaching out to the conservative Mecca of CPAC, for help with Jan. 6th subpoena? Why would she seek conservative help if her plan was to go up there and fabricate nonsense about Trump....

Left-wing pop star Katy Perry’s pro-abortion rant on Independence Day backfired as the Joe Biden backer was called out by fans for her support of what they called an “anti-abortion” mayoral candidate in billionaire developer Rick Caruso. On the Fourth of July, Perry reacted to the U.S. Supreme Court recently overruling Roe v. Wade by bizarrely claiming that a sparkler has more rights than women in the United States. “‘Baby you’re a firework’ is a 10 but women in the US have fewer rights than an actual sparkler [shaking my head],” the singer wrote, referring to her 2010 song “Firework.”...

Canadians will be required to get a booster shot every nine months for the foreseeable future, Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos told reporters. So if you thought you were fully vaccinated, think again. Duclos said that the previous definitions of “fully vaccinated” makes no sense, explaining that it’s more important that shots are “up to date” and whether or not a person has “received a vaccination in the last nine months.” He added, “We will never be fully vaccinated against COVID-19,” according to Blacklock’s Reporter. Duclos was asked if he was preparing Canadians for the return of vaccine mandates in the...

However, Roy Kinyon's love of baseball has always remained. It's all thanks to his older brother, Ralph.
