He said it was to get Washington's attention. Washington's swamp denizens in the press and halls of power, calling it a publicity stunt. What we are seeing now is that the much-derided "stunt" is working. Take a gander at the weird outrage from Washington, D.C.'s sanctuary-city-supporting mayor, Muriel Bowser, on the effects of that Abbott policy, according to Fox News: Washington...

by Samantha Foster | 24NewsA federal judge has blocked the Biden administration’s recent rules giving "transgender" people extended rights in schools and the workplace, including forcing schools to accept biological males into female sports competitions.The judge acted because Biden’s regulators illegally bypassed a critical requirement of federal law that must be satisfied before issuing such a regulation: giving the public notice of the regulation, time to file comments, and forcing the agency to respond to those comments - a lengthy process.U.S. District Judge Charles Atchley Jr. agreed with 20 state attorneys general that the regulations may infringe on states’ rights...

Australian customs considered the stowaway sandwich a "biosecurity risk."If you've flown enough times, you've inevitably left something you shouldn't have in your bag. A pair of scissors in your toiletries. A bottle of water in your carry-on. A pork pie in your checked luggage. (Okay, maybe that wasn't an accident.) The repercussions can range from TSA confiscations to border confrontations. An Australian woman says she recently had to deal with the latter when returning home, facing an approximately $1,820 fine after forgetting to declare a leftover Subway sandwich. But after hearing her story, someone decided to come to her...

Squad member Rep. Cori Bush (D., Mo.), who claims to “unequivocally condemn” anti-Semitism, has for years maintained a close working relationship with Neveen Ayesh, an activist who thinks Israel should “burn to ashes” along with all the Jews inside it. Bush has been associated with Ayesh for at least the past five years, watchdog group Canary Mission said in a new video exposing Ayesh’s past vitriolic tweets. Ayesh in the past tweeted, “#ThingsWeAllHate Jews,” in addition to “never trust a Jew.” “I tried befriending a Jew once. Worst idea ever.” “I want to set Israel on fire with my own...

The case of a New York bodega clerk who was charged with murder after he fatally stabbed a man who confronted him at work — in an altercation recorded on video — has sparked a vigorous debate about crime and what constitutes self-defense. SNIP To prove self-defense outside the home under New York law, a person must — broadly speaking — show that they used physical force “to avoid an imminent public or private injury,” in a situation not of their own making, “which is of such gravity that, according to ordinary standards of intelligence and morality,” the benefit of...

The man who was caught on viral video jumping from elevated Brooklyn subway tracks while fleeing cops said Monday that he made the dangerous leap because he was terrified of going back to Rikers Island. “When I made that jump it was like ‘damn either go back to Rikers Island or risk your life taking that jump’ and that jump could’ve been death if I missed,” Kendall Floyd, 25, told The Post by phone from the notorious jail complex, where he’s been since his arrest on July 6. “I was willing to risk my life than to come back here...

This is pure evil.

GoFundMe is allowing a small fortune to be collected for kin of the Minneapolis gunman fatally shot by cops after he fired at neighbors, while hard-working Manhattan bodega clerk Jose Alba’s fund got the ax, critics rage. The fund-raiser for the family of dead Minnesota shooter Andrew “Tekle’’ Sundberg, 20, surpassed its goal of $20,000 within three days, hitting $20,500 by Monday afternoon. Yet the GoFundMe page for Alba — who killed an ex-con attacker in apparent self-defense at the store — got pulled a day after his case came to light. “#GoFundMe should be ASHAMED of themselves!” a fuming...

The relatives of two American “hostages” in Saudi Arabia tell The Post they’re outraged that President Biden didn’t win their release during his trip last week to patch up relations with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. There are at least four Americans jailed in or unable to leave Saudi Arabia, according to their families. The cases aren’t well-known because the families opted to work quietly with the US government ahead of Biden’s visit. Now, they’re seeking greater public attention after the leader of the free world left Saudi Arabia without their loved ones. “I’m not a [Donald] Trump person, nor...

Two New York men wept as a judge handed down prison time for their participation in the Capitol riot last year. Cody Mattice, 29, and James Mault, 30, both received 44 months of prison time on Friday, according to records from the Justice Department. In April, the two pleaded guilty to assaulting law enforcement officers during the Capitol riot, a Justice Department release says. After breaching the Capitol, Mattice "reached out to another rioter and grabbed a small object appearing to be a canister," the release says. "He then sprayed chemical spray at police officers." "Mault also got a second...

For decades, hopeful techies have been promising a world where absolutely every object you encounter—bandages, bottles, bananas—will have some kind of smarts thanks to supercheap programmable plastic processors. If you’ve been wondering why that hasn’t happened yet, it’s that nobody has built working processors that can be made in the billions for less than a penny each. It hasn’t been for want of trying; in 2021 Arm reproduced its simplest 32-bit microcontroller, the M0, in plastic, but even this couldn’t hope to meet the mark. The problem, according to engineers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and at British flexible-electronics...

An investigation has been launched after a person believed to be an Anchorage, Alaska, police officer was shown in a photo with a woman in town for a Donald Trump rally flashing a novelty "white privilege card."

Explanation: OK, but why can't you combine images from Webb and Hubble? You can, and today's featured image shows one impressive result. Although the recently launched James Webb Space Telescope (Webb) has a larger mirror than Hubble, it specializes in infrared light and can't see blue -- only up to about orange. Conversely, the Hubble Space Telescope (Hubble) has a smaller mirror than Webb and can't see as far into the infrared as Webb, but can image not only blue light but even ultraviolet. Therefore, Webb and Hubble data can be combined to create images across a wider variety of...
