A decline in car break-ins across Oakland is being welcomed as a public safety win, but it is also contributing to a downturn for some local auto glass repair businesses. Police data show a sharp drop in vehicle burglaries over the past year. According to the Oakland Police Department’s crime dashboard, car break-ins are down 37 percent year-to-date, comparing May 2025 to May 2026. At Low Price Auto Glass on San Leandro Street in East Oakland, owner Raj Singh said the decrease has directly impacted a once-reliable portion of his business. "There is the door glass repair if there is...

Team Algae and Filth has been busy at work, supported by CNN, ABC and various leftist media, in an attempt to grow algae back in the DC reflection pool, and cut out the newly installed lining. A few arrests have been made by DC park police. Yes, these folks are that unstable. Liberalism is a mental disorder. President Trump responds to the effort via Truth Social: “We’ve cleaned, renovated, and beautified over 45 Monuments and Memorials, 28 Statues, and 22 Fountains in Washington, D.C. Things are really looking good in our Nation’s Capital, and add to that the fact that...

I was just watching the Sweden versus Netherlands World Cup and I thought I was seeing two American soccer teams playing. I believe 50% of Swedish players are not the stereotypical Sweden and Netherlands (okay I guess the Caribbean Territory of Netherlands are still Dutch citizens) are not Dutch...It is Amazing when you need immigrants to populate your country and you can see what will happen...The Swede gets replaced... I'm trying to see if an African Soccer team has 50% Caucasians on it...I bet no...

Her hate is on the taxpayer’s dime. United States- and Israel-hating Corinna Mullin — a political science professor so radical she was arrested for leading violent campus protests — is teaching two classes at the City University of New York in the fall, The Post has learned. Mullin, who professed her love for Iran’s bloodthirsty Islamic Republic Guard Corps during an unhinged Democratic Socialists of America talk earlier this month, is teaching “Politics of the Middle East” at Brooklyn College next semester. She’ll lecture about the Arab states, Israel, Iran and Turkey, according to the course description in CUNY’s online...

Newly released photos show the fatal wound Austin Metcalf suffered when Karmelo Anthony stabbed him with a $13 Walmart knife during a confrontation at a Texas high school track meet. The grisly images, made public Friday by Collin County court, show a deep gash in the 17-year-old football player’s chest, with a forensic ruler placed beside the wound.

Gov. Kathy Hochul has quietly extended a pilot program providing free healthcare to sex workers – with taxpayers footing the nearly $2.5 million bill. The state Health Department in 2023 awarded $1 million in public funds to two contractors as part of Hochul’s plan to help the “world’s oldest profession,” but new documents reviewed by The Post show the program extending through June 2028, with $1.5 million more in costs. Under the initiative, sex workers in NYC and the Buffalo area will continue to receive primary, sexual, behavioral, and dental care. Critics bashed the hooker healthcare program — which was...

A 55-year-old Long Beach man has been arrested and charged with kidnapping in a case that dates back nearly four decades, after newly-analyzed DNA evidence identified him as a suspect, Ventura County authorities said. Bobby Rollins, Jr. has been charged with kidnapping with intent to commit robbery, with enhancements for allegedly using a firearm, and that the crime involved great violence and the victim was particularly vulnerable when the crime was committed. "If convicted of all charges and special enhancements, Rollins could be sentenced to life in prison," said Ventura County District Attorney Erik Nasarenko during a news conference Thursday....

Credit: NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observations have revealed the colorful secret of the Pink Planet, the coldest object of its type ever directly observed. A team of astronomers led by Northwestern University has revealed their findings in a recent paper published in The Astronomical Journal, finally describing the rose-colored haze covering the planetary-mass companion GJ504b, thanks to JWST data. For over a decade, researchers have speculated that atmospheric salt clouds may create the pink planet’s strange hue, but this is the first concrete evidence for the hypothesis. The Pink Planet Since its discovery in 2013,...

Explanation: Venus is now appearing on the celestial stage as Earth's brilliant evening star, performing with the Moon, other wandering planets, and bright stars in western skies. For evening sky gazers on June 17, the celestial beacon rose after sunset close by a young, slender, crescent Moon. But from some locations the Moon could be seen to occult or pass in front of Venus. And from a backyard observatory in southern British Columbia, Canada, the lunar occultation was played out in daylight. This stunning telescopic snapshot captured a scene in dramatically cloudy skies, following Venus' hour long disappearance, as the...

Just about everyone seems to be weighing in on the polarizing Pride Night at Oracle Park last week. San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie is the latest public figure to criticize the four Giants pitchers who protested the team’s annual celebration of the LGBTQ+ community. Ryan Walker, Landen Roupp, JT Brubaker and Sam Hentges have sparked an outcry among San Franciscans as well as other Pride Night supporters. Walker chose to wear the standard Giants hat rather than the special hat for the event, which has a rainbow-colored team logo. The latter three added a Bible verse on their Pride Night...

“Here lies the man who wanted to destroy Israel.” The words are carved into the tombstone of Hassan Tehrani Moghaddam, the man the Islamic Republic later called the father of its missile industry. Almost in parallel with its nuclear program, the Islamic Republic spent nearly four decades advancing its missile program toward the goal Tehrani Moghaddam had written into his will: the destruction of Israel. It has not achieved that goal. Iranian officials have long insisted that the program is solely defensive. But the tombstone of the man credited with building it tells a different story. Tehrani Moghaddam was also...

Top prosecutors across the US are taking action against Major League Baseball for issuing warnings San Francisco Giants players for displaying Bible verses on their hats during a Pride Night game. After the Department of Justice announced it had opened a probe into the league for its actions, several state attorneys general said they planned to investigate MLB’s conduct. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced on Saturday morning that he sent an investigative subpoena to the league “to determine how their selective enforcement of uniform rules may discriminate against Christians.” It comes after Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway also threatened...

A ban on certain contracts between hospital systems and health insurers could save Americans around $45 billion, according to a report from White House analysts released on June 18. “The Council of Economic Advisers’ findings reinforce that the Trump administration is delivering meaningful cost reductions for American patients,” White House spokeswoman Allison Schuster told The Epoch Times by email June 19, noting the president’s surgical approach to policy development that prioritizes fiscal discipline. “By harnessing the use of free-market competition, President Trump has found a real solution to lowering costs instead of blindly throwing more taxpayer money at the problem.”...

🚨 BREAKING: This is the enhanced security camera footage that captured, from a distance, the final moments leading up to the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf by Karmelo Anthony. Presented during trial, prosecutors used the footage to highlight Anthony’s movements immediately after the stabbing and as he departed the area prior to being taken into custody. This marks the first time the video has been made available to the public. Due to the camera’s distance and angle, the footage does not clearly show the physical interaction itself. However, it does appear to capture a brief exchange of movement beneath the...

The Cyprus Mail reports that an ancient ceramic vessel has been reclaimed from an online auction and returned to Cyprus after a year-long investigation. Cypriot officials who monitor online activity determined that the vase was in the hands of a collector in Canada, who eventually agreed to repatriate it. Researchers from Cyprus' Department of Antiquities determined that the engraved, black-polished hemispherical bowl dates to about 1900 B.C.
