Conservatives slammed Gov. Kathy Hochul for wearing a headscarf during a visit to an Islamic center in New York City over the weekend. The Democratic governor wore a charcoal gray suit and a black scarf mirroring those many Muslim women don to symbolize modesty and their religious faith, according to a clip of the appearance at the Islamic Cultural Center of New York in Queens.

Hunter Biden acknowledged in a new interview that his lucrative board appointments, including one at Ukrainian energy company Burisma, helped finance his crack cocaine addiction. “I never went broke,” Biden boasted on the “Dopey” podcast, after describing a two-month-long bender at the Chateau Marmont in Hollywood, Calif., where the former first son said he tried to “go out with a bang.” “Dopey” host Dave Manheim asked Biden how he was able to “scrape the money together” for the cocaine and prostitutes and private bungalows at the luxurious Chateau Marmont. “Well, I still had the residual. Like for instance, I still...

The Anglo-Japanese Alliance of 1902 had bound the two island empires together against a common rival, but it was the German U-boat war that finally brought the Imperial Japanese Navy to the Mediterranean. As Royal Navy escorts were stretched to breaking point, Britain turned to its ally in the East. Eight Japanese destroyers, commanded by Admiral Soto Kozo, sailed for Malta -- and over the months that followed, they escorted nearly eight hundred troopships through submarine-infested waters and clashed with enemy submarines on more than thirty occasions. Why Did Japan Send Its Navy To British Malta In 1917? | 13:33...

WASHINGTON — Top American AI companies are feeding Beijing’s beast and the US military at the same time, a longtime China hawk is warning. Four major providers of data for AI models — which help collate, label and package the vast troves of info for Anthropic, Google, Meta, OpenAI and the Pentagon — are also quietly working for China’s AI labs on the side, according to a new report. “America is in an AI race with the Chinese Communist Party,” Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) told The Post. “We cannot spend billions trying to protect our technological advantage while American companies...

A veteran prosecutor in state Attorney General Letitia James’ office claims he was ordered to dig up dirt on people and groups “affiliated with Donald Trump,” according to a bombshell report. Daniel Wiesenfeld, a former Brooklyn prosecutor who now works in James’ Investor Protection Bureau, said his boss instructed him “to find and pursue crimes” committed by Trump allies, according to a since-deleted email obtained by the Times-Union. Wiesenfeld alleged in his email that Bureau Chief Shamiso Maswoswe specifically directed him to target “Trump himself, Truth Social, Hewlett Packard (DOJ approved merger)… without having a credible reason for targeting the...

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) said she will focus on “campaigning down ballot” in Texas, suggesting that she won’t campaign with Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico after he defeated her in the party’s primary. “We’ve seen the turnout that you can produce. Talarico might very well need that magnetism. Will you campaign with him?” CNN’s Laura Coates asked the congresswoman on Thursday. “I will be campaigning down ballot,” Crockett said. “Because when we’re looking at a state like Texas, we’ve tried this, where we’ve got one amazing candidate that’s running at the top of the ticket,” Crockett said, when asked why...

WASHINGTON — Just don’t wear a blue dress to work. The Clintons are on the lookout for a new intern to help their global foundation with research, memos, office management, and more. The unpaid intern will work for Hillary Clinton’s office on Madison Avenue in NYC. The position requires a “high level of professionalism and discretion,” according to a posting on DayBook. Former President Bill Clinton’s team at the foundation, meanwhile, is after a “special projects associate” to help with somewhat similar tasks. This includes drafting meeting agendas, editing briefs, and helping to coordinate activities between his office and the...

Dolly Parton died Tuesday of cancer at the age of 80, surrounded by loved ones. She was loved like few other entertainers in American history. The story of how her most famous song, “I Will Always Love You,” came to be—and how Whitney Houston came to record it—may be the best of all the Parton stories you’ll hear as the nation grieves her loss. And celebrates her life. Parton was born dirt poor in 1946 to a loving family in the mountains of Tennessee. Her father couldn’t read or write, and often worked two jobs to make ends meet, but...

The spur of St.Erasmo, looming above the village of Cesi... represents the best preserved example of a fortified high ground site in the Umbria region and, in general, one of the main sites of this type in central-southern Italy. This point was fortified, encircling an area of about 7000 sq.m with massive masonry in polygonal work, with a wall of about 400 linear metres, which alternates various types of polygonal work, from the more regular and well- smoothed that distinguishes the northern side, to more cursive ones, with not well-worked blocks, attested in several points, perhaps less visible on the...

Two NYC Democratic Socialists of America leaders have been caught living the ultimate capitalist dream, with one quietly collecting millions in real estate flips and another nesting in a sleek $500,000 Brooklyn apartment, The Post has learned. Labor Coordinator Olivia Gonzalez Killingsworth sold a luxe Upper West Side triplex in a brownstone building for $2.4 million on Sept. 12, 2022, according to public records. The “huge, versatile” two-bedroom, three-bathroom triplex just a block away from Central Park boasts sweeping 10-foot-high ceilings overlooking a fireplace, marble shower stalls, bay windows with a view of the gorgeous Callery Pear blossoms that line...

In an election cycle where young socialists have been knocking off members of the Old Guard, 80-year-old Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey is out to prove he’s radical enough to survive. The oldest Dem seeking reelection this year partnered with AOC on her “Green New Deal” in 2019 and touts “Medicare for All,” which has become a rallying cry for the socialist wing of the party. He is up by double digits in the polls against Marine Corps vet Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.), 47, who faces off with Markey Tuesday in the deep blue state — and began his campaign against...

Michigan Democratic Attorney General Dana Nessel skipped her party’s convention Saturday after saying she feared being booed, harassed and chased over her support for Israel — amid warnings of tense clashes over the Middle East. “I don’t feel safe going,” Nessel, who is Jewish, warned late last month. “I feel like my presence is not going to be welcomed. I don’t want to get chased around. I don’t want to get harassed. I don’t want to get yelled and screamed at. I don’t want to get booed off the stage, irrespective of what I’m saying. And I believe that if...

Radical Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s racially charged swipe at Second Lady Usha Vance is badly backfiring, threatening to alienate Michigan’s 130,000 Indian-Americans and crucial female voters, insiders told The Post. The unprovoked jab at the second lady exposed El-Sayed’s own insecurities said one GOP insider, who accused the anti-Israel Democrat of victimizing women to look tough when he snidely posted to X: “So do we think JD is taking Usha with him back in time to meet Papaw, or no …” “I think Abdul has a Napoleon complex and he victimizes women to look tough instead of the actual men...
