For over a century, the Bush family’s compound in Maine has been the backdrop of countless memories and stories. Not only did Jenna Bush Hager’s twin sister Barbara Pierce Bush get married at the family’s beloved coastal home, Brooke Shields even watched Law & Order: Special Victims Unit with the TODAY anchor’s grandparents when they invited her to stay there. The oceanfront home has a long history with the Bush family, and it continues to hold a special place in their hearts. In fact, Bush Hager has called it “magical” on more than one occasion. Read on to find out...

Violent crime has created a grim new normal in Big Apple subway stations — the platform wallflower. Skittish straphangers are steering clear of the edge — and pinning their backs to the wall as they await their train, terrified they’ll become the next victim of a random shove onto the tracks, riders told The Post. On two afternoons recently, The Post witnessed hundreds of riders hugging the walls inside stations at East 86th, East 77th, East 68th, East 59th and East 51st streets, and West 18th Street, 14th Street-Union Square, and Wall Street.

Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 47th President inside the Capital Rotunda as bitter cold is forecast to grip the nation’s capital on Monday. The president-elect announced the change of plans in a noontime Truth Social post Friday, writing in part: “I don’t want to see people hurt, or injured, in any way. It is dangerous conditions for the tens of thousands of Law Enforcement, First Responders, Police K9s and even horses, and hundreds of thousands of supporters that will be outside for many hours on the 20th (In any event, if you decide to come, dress warmly!).

Move over cocaine sharks, here come the fentanyl dolphins … An alarming number of bottlenose dolphins in the Gulf of Mexico were found to have traces of fentanyl in their system, shocking scientists with a horrifying twist to the drug epidemic. Traces of the powerful synthetic opioid was first found inside a dead dolphin that was floating in the gulf water when it was then examined by researchers from Texas A&M-Corpus Christi in Sept. 2020. What was supposed to be a routine analysis of blubber turned into years-long research — with more than a third of the dolphins tested also...

President George W. Bush visited Ground Zero just days after the 9/11 terror attacks. He stood atop the World Trade Center rubble and delivered an impromptu speech that would comfort first responders at the scene and unite Americans. In Fox Nation’s "I Can Hear You," host Martha MacCallum sits down with members of the team that accompanied the president to New York on that day and witnessed what would become known as the "bullhorn moment." Before the 43rd president made his way to the Big Apple, it was of high importance to allow first responders to continue rescue efforts without...

Size measurements of two neutron stars are narrowing down what kinds of exotic matter might exist in their extremely dense cores.Neutron stars are the tricksters of the celestial sphere. Their age, their temperature, even their size is not always what it first appears to be. But with the Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) aboard the International Space Station, astronomers are finally beginning to make some headway measuring these stars’ actual size — and with that, some insight into their strange interiors.Members of the NICER team presented two independent size measurements of the most massive neutron star known at the...

Daily Mail The U.S. Army's Combating Terrorism Center posted an explosive report early this morning that contains what are the last letters Osama bin Laden wrote before the raid that killed him a year ago.  The biggest bombshell is this: He wanted to target planes that Barack Obama and Gen. David Petraeus to promote the "utterly unprepared" Joe Biden to the office of presidency.From the letter bin Laden authored, the mission was of "anticipating and spotting the visits of Obama or Petraeus to Afghanistan or Pakistan to target the aircraft of either one of them." They are not to target...

Barack Obama's executive ineptitude is on display at the highesty level of government. While he has been repeatedly meeting with union leaders over the last two years and playing golf, he has not been so attentive to his cabinet members, and all is not peaceful. The Nobel Peace Prize winner needs to work his magic close to home. According to an article in New York magazine by veteran journalist John Heilemann, Obama has not yet conferred with some six Cabinet members since becoming President. He certainly has been busy appointing czars and czarinas, however, and advisers such as Elizabeth Warren...

Our country finds itself at a troubling crossroads. We confront challenges from forces that are opposed to its very existence as the nation our founders created. These forces are secular and religious and are poised to attack the foundations of our nation both at home and abroad. In facing them conservatives have a special responsibility as a patriotic vanguard dedicated to the principles that have made America what it is, and who are willing to confront the enemies that seek to destroy her. At home the adversary calls itself a progressive movement but its goal is to transform America into...

Gordon Peterson on Friday asked either a staggeringly ignorant or intentionally provocative question. On the most recent installment of PBS's "Inside Washington," the host queried his guests, "Why is it constitutional to require Americans to buy automobile insurance but un-Constitutional to force them to buy health insurance?" (video follows with transcript and commentary): --- GORDON PETERSON, HOST: That’s Ken Cuccinelli. He’s the attorney general of Virginia. He brought the challenge to ObamaCare. The federal court and judge Henry Hudson of Virginia ruled it’s un-Constitutional to force Americans to buy health insurance, as the law mandates. Why is it constitutional to...

OBAMA: Unbelievable. Even with a huge government jobs surge last month, we’re still hearing about rising unemployment. And why isn’t Thursday’s stock market blip gone from the news cycle by now? ROBERT GIBBS: We took our eye off the ball in the media wars, sir. That Neil Cavuto dustup the other day was a wake-up call. The attempted car bombing in New York distracted us from the real threat—Fox News. DAVID AXELROD: Bob’s right, sir. We must recommit to “preserve, protect and defend” your administration from criticism and constitutional checks on its powers. Ailes’s network tips a growing media breakout...

We've all seen reports that Barack Obama's job approval rating has recently fallen below 50 percent in the Gallup poll for the first time since the president took office in January. A look inside those numbers -- Gallup publishes a weekly breakdown of its results by demographic groups -- shows that there are a lot of other firsts in the polling: Among age groups: For the first time in the White House, Obama is below 50 percent with every age group of Americans except those between 18 and 29. He's at 48 percent with people in the 30-49 range; 46...

Travellers to Europe face being treated like drug smugglers as security chiefs are expected to recommend new intrusive security measures. French anti-terror chiefs are expected to propose the new measures, such as full body X-rays or handing in all electronic devices, after a terrorist tried to kill a Saudi prince with a bomb he had inserted into his body. Al Qaeda's latest ploy was first pioneered by Abdullah Hassan al Asiri, who blew himself apart in Jeddah in late August in an attack on Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, the Saudi anti-terrorism chief. The 23-year-old terrorist blew himself into 70 pieces...

(AP) If it really is what's on the inside that counts, then a lot of thin people might be in trouble. Some doctors now think that the internal fat surrounding vital organs like the heart, liver or pancreas — invisible to the naked eye — could be as dangerous as the more obvious external fat that bulges underneath the skin. “Being thin doesn't automatically mean you're not fat,” said Dr. Jimmy Bell, a professor of molecular imaging at Imperial College, London. Since 1994, Bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with MRI machines to create “fat maps” showing...
