The FDNY is expected order more than half a dozen migrant centers across the Big Apple be vacated over increased fears the sites could become fiery death traps, The Post has learned. Officials from both the Office of Emergency Management and FDNY believe the vacate orders are necessary at seven migrant shelters and respite centers where various fire and health hazards have been discovered, according to sources with knowledge of the matter. Fire officials will return to the locations starting Sunday to issue their final inspections, the sources said. The controversial former Staten Island Catholic school, St. John’s Villa Academy,...

Progressives who’d decided that “soft on crime” is a winning message in urban America got a well-deserved wake-up call Tuesday, as Philadelphia Democrats tapped Cherelle Parker as their nominee, and so near-certain to become the city’s 100th mayor. Like our own Mayor Eric Adams, Parker won voters over with her promise to address public safety and quality of life concerns. She explicitly vowed to restore stop-question-and-frisk (conducted constitutionally) as a policing tactic and to get more beat officers on street patrol. The progressive darling was Helen Gym, backed by Sen. Bernie Sanders, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson....

Even Steve Bannon and other key advisers to former President Donald Trump have had enough of his latest stunts — demanding everyone behind his wacky NFT collection be “fired today.” “I can’t do this anymore,” an exasperated-sounding Bannon said Thursday on his show, “The War Room,” when discussing the widely derided collection the 45th president launched the previous day.

Now this is how a real man handles the Covid Nazis. Artur Pawlowski, the Pastor of the Cave of Adullam Church in Calgary, Alberta, Canada shouted down police officers who interrupted his church service during Holy Week.

Even as former DNC Chair Donna Brazile reveals deep-seated corruption within the Democrat Party, a liberal billionaire donor to the Democrat Party is fed up with the party’s strategy of continually using class warfare and class envy rhetoric and issued a major warning to Democrats across the country on Tuesday — if he hears the word “billionaire” one more time, he’s going to cut off their money. Stephen Cloobeck, chairman and CEO of Diamond Resorts, a Las Vegas timeshare company, told MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle that the Democrat Party’s policy of punishing success is “so effin’ wrong.” “When Democrats continue...

Because of my conservative views, some liberal must have complained, and for several months I have tried to sign in to my Facebook account and this is the message I get. “Suspicious activity has been detected on your Facebook account and it has been temporarily suspended as a security precaution. It is likely that your account was compromised as a result of entering your password on a website designed to look like Facebook.

Had enough yet? Rick Reiss Friday, May 22nd, 2009. Big government proponents frequently remind us that taxes are the price we pay for a civilized society. This line is actually attributed to the former Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. While true in some respects, our current tax system is anything but civilized. America now has a government riding roughshod over people and businesses with even higher taxes and more rules and regulations. It is only fitting to remember a quotation by another famous American jurist. “That the power to tax…” wrote US Supreme Court Justice John Marshall “involves the...

When two policemen turned up unannounced at Alan Rawlinson's home asking to speak to his young son, the company director feared something serious had happened. So he was astounded when the officers detailed 11-year-old George's apparent crime - calling one of his schoolfriends 'gay'. They said primary school pupil, George, was being investigated for a 'very serious' homophobic crime after using the comment in an e-mail to a 10-year-old classmate. ['Terrified': George Rawlinson with his mother Gaynor, who is a magistrate] But now his parents have hit out at the police, who they accused of being heavy-handed and pandering to...

I had a customer walk into the store this past week very upset. He said, “Did you hear what Coos Bay is doing on the radio this morning?” I told him I hadn’t. He then told me that they announced that they were spending $175,000 to build a foot bridge in Mingus Park. I didn’t know what to say, except that I hope it comes with sleeping quarters and bathrooms. He indicated that he could build a mansion to live in for that kind of money. This should have signaled a bad week however I didn’t think it could get...
