    (WKBN) — Best Buy is looking to close some stores this year and work to offer a smaller experience for customers in some markets. The company is looking to close 10 to 15 stores, following the closing of 24 stores last year, CFO Matthew Bilunas said during a fourth-quarter earnings call with investors last month. He explained that Best Buy will “close existing traditional stores during our rigorous review of stores as their leases come up for renewal.” The company cited consumer spending habits, lowering of product innovation during the pandemic, and “supply challenge years,” among other things.

    When the FBI arrested billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein on July 6, 2019, at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey, disgusting revelations of his sex trafficking crimes surfaced. So did his mysterious, monied world — populated by A-listers, politicians, and captains of industry. Among the bizarre revelations was an oil painting hanging prominently in his Upper East Side townhouse. Dubbed “Parsing Bill,” the colorful work by Australian artist Petrina Ryan-Kleid shows former President Clinton wearing a blue dress and red heels while lounging in the Oval Office.
  • Retired NYC dog walker’s dreams shattered when gifted Chuck Close painting falls flat at auction, believed art was worth $10M

    11/19/2023 11:25:41 AM PST · by nickcarraway · 27 replies
    A former New York City dog walker thought he was going to get a $10 million payday when a painting he’d come to own by a famous artist — whose works sell for millions of dollars — went to auction this week. The retiree, who is living off Social Security, was devastated when the painting sold for a meager $40,000. Mark Herman, 68, of Manhattan, said he had a vision while on psychedelic mushrooms that the painting by the late abstract artist Chuck Close would be worth $10 million. But that drug-induced dream crumbled as he watched the work sell...

    President Biden’s campaign issued a warning Thursday that while it is prepared a year out from the 2024 race, it is expecting a razor-tight race — one that is likely to be a rematch with former President Trump. In a memo, Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez said her team feels “well-prepared to defeat whoever emerges from the extreme MAGA Republicans’ primary field,” but that “this will be a very close general election.” Rodriguez argued that the Biden campaign is in a strong position, because the president’s message to protect democracy and the “soul of the nation” still resonates with...

    The chief advisor for New York City Mayor Eric Adams called on the federal government to “close the borders” Sunday – a remark that led to an outcry from liberal pols and a quick clarification from another high-ranking City Hall official. Ingrid Lewis-Martin made the comments during an interview on PIX 11 Sunday morning when asked about the city’s attempt to change the right-to-shelter policy in place as the Big Apple strains to care for tens of thousands of migrants. “The federal government needs to do its job,” she said on the television station. “We need the federal government, the...

    Another major retailer is leaving downtown San Francisco — this time Coco Republic, an Australian furniture store that is leaving the iconic Union Square less than a year after opening a flagship location there. The ongoing retail exodus from San Francisco follows years of worsening crime, drugs, and homelessness, plus a wave of “mass looting” events that have caused many other retail stores and chains to leave the city. Other reasons include a decline in foot traffic in downtown San Francisco as a result of pandemic restrictions that caused many workers to shift to work-from-home, and many residents to relocate...

    Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) said Tuesday on CNN’s “New Day” that the Democratic Party’s chances of holding a majority in the U.S. Senate after the midterms were a “toss-up.” Anchor Brianna Keilar asked, “Do you think Democrats can hold the Senate here in six weeks?” Manchin said, “I think we have some tremendous candidates. Every candidate we have is experienced. They are well-rounded and they are balanced. So I think that’s the advantage the Democrats would have right now. I know that there is a movement and any midyear election is always a challenging thing. I think these elections are...

By Wednesday morning, the green Starbucks logo had been removed from the front of the now-vacant building. The store was pitch black inside and the front doors were locked. That store is one of six Los Angeles locations that permanently shuttered at the end of July due to "a high volume of challenging incidents that make it unsafe to continue to operate," according to a...

    Polls are closing in Ohio as Democrats and Republicans anxiously await the results of key primaries in a state that will likely prove pivotal in November’s midterms.

Former President Trump, who remains the most popular figure within the modern GOP, has endorsed author and venture capitalist J.D. Vance in the race, though Vance faces a crowded field of rivals, almost all of whom have campaigned as Trump acolytes.

    Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) said Monday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that she believed Fox News host Tucker Carlson is “really, really close to treason” because he was “parroting” Russian propaganda. Discussing Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky’s upcoming address to the U.S. Congress, McCaskill said, “I think Zelensky not only needs to emotionally capture how important our support is and how he’s depending on our military to get the munitions to them very, very quickly. No question that Russia has to be struggling with a munitions stockpile now. Ukraine needs the billions of dollars that is we have passed in military support...

    President Biden claimed Thursday that Democrats are “close” to passing his sweeping social spending bill — just hours after official data revealed inflation hit a new 40-year high in January, stiffening opposition to the $2 trillion plan. Biden gave the dubious spin about his agenda’s status in a speech in Culpeper, Va., after annual inflation hit 7.5 percent, which centrist Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) said was more reason to resist massive new spending.

    Hundreds of Canadian Christians gathered on Sunday at the GraceLife Church in Edmonton, Alberta. Government officials shut down the church for allegedly violating public COVID-19 health orders. Authorities erected a chain-link fence to prevent the house of worship from reopening last week. On Sunday, worshippers tore down the barricade, but were quickly met by a large contingent of riot police. Alberta Health Services physically closed the GraceLife Church, preventing access to the building. AHS said the church would remain closed until the GraceLife Church "can demonstrate the ability to comply with Alberta's chief medical officer of health's restrictions." The Royal...
