    Olympic gold medalist Caitlyn Jenner is backing a New York county's effort to ban transgender athletes from competing against biological women, arguing that doing so will protect competition in female sports. "You have to compete in the biological sex that you were born. This is critical to protecting the integrity of competition in women's sports," Jenner, a Fox News contributor, said in Mineola, New York, on Monday. "My fear is that if this woke agenda that's out there… the DEI world that's out there, if this continues, it'll ruin women's sports over the next 10, 20 years. Let's stop it...

    New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) on Friday demanded that a Nassau County official immediately repeal an executive order restricting the ability of transgender women and girls to participate in athletic events at county-run facilities, arguing it is “in clear violation” of state law. “ The law is perfectly clear: you cannot discriminate against a person because of their gender identity or expression. We have no room for hate or bigotry in New York,” James said in a statement, referring to an executive order issued last week by Nassau County executive Bruce Blakeman. Blakeman’s order, which prohibits athletic events...

    Courtesy of the Mazi Melesa Pilip website.Mazi Melesa Pilip is not your typical Long Island Republican. She is not, in fact, your typical anything. Currently serving as a Nassau County legislator from Great Neck, Pilip has been nominated by local Republicans to run in the February 13 special election to fill the congressional seat vacated earlier this month when the House voted to oust serial fabulist George Santos (R-Nowheresville). Pilip might not bring much legislative experience to what's expected to be a tight race, but she does bring the badassery. Born into extreme poverty in Ethiopia in 1978 or '79,...

    A photo posted on Instagram of a man holding a dolphin has caught the attention of investigators. The photo shows a man holding a baby dolphin out of the water in Nassau County, which is near Jacksonville. The dolphin is now believed to be dead. Both the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission are now investigating the incident. Marine biologists say when you take a dolphin out of the water, they can be crushed by the weight of their own bodies. Researchers say you can tell by the dorsal fin. Now, they’re trying...
  • Wall Street is eyeing this Long Island area as the ‘new Hamptons’

    The most expensive home for sale in Atlantic Beach, Long Island, has just listed for $11.5 million. Indeed, this marks the biggest number seen for the chiefly laid-back area, though probably not for long. As Wall Street is set to return to a full five-day work week, the Hamptons is starting to seem pretty far away. This part of the island, with a lowly population of about 1,800, comes with all the perks of the Hamptons — right on the water, for starters — and it’s just a breezy hour away from the city and away from the crowds. Rarely...

    An error by a printing company has made every registered voter in Nassau County, New York, a Democrat, based on the voter ID cards received this week in the Republican-leaning county. A spokesperson for the printing company, Phoenix Graphics, said that it was human error and is being fixed, according to NBC New York. About half a million of those who got their cards this week saw that they were registered as Democrats, when they were actually registered Republicans, independents or members of a different political party. "We’re already starting to get phone calls from people, saying 'I’m a registered...

    ISLAND PARK, N.Y. — Republican Ari Brown defeated Democrat David Lobl by a 2-1 margin in a special election for the New York State Assembly’s 20th District seat, as Republicans continue to gain momentum on Long Island and predict victories across the state and nationally next November. “This is just the beginning of a red wave like never before,” Brown said Thursday night, after he won the seat — covering areas including the Five Towns, Island Park, Long Beach and Atlantic Beach — which was vacated by Republican Melissa “Missy” Miller in February, who took a position on the Hempstead...

    MINEOLA, N.Y. (AP) — A New York judge ruled Monday that the state’s mask mandate can’t be enforced, after it was reinstituted by Gov. Kathy Hochul over concerns about a winter surge of coronavirus cases. State Supreme Court Judge Thomas Rademaker said in his decision that the state Department of Health didn’t have the legal authority to implement the mandate, and that it was up to the state Legislature to do so if needed. The mandate “is a law that was promulgated and enacted unlawfully by an executive branch state agency, and therefore void and unenforceable,” the judge said. The...

    The New York State Supreme Court on Monday struck down the Hochul Administration’s statewide mask mandate as unconstitutional and a violation of state law. Judge Thomas Rademaker of Nassau County wrote in his decision Monday the Governor does not have the authority to impose the mandate and the state legislature would have to debate and approve laws requiring masks in schools and other places. Last month, Governor Kathy Hochul enacted the mandate amid an increase in COVID-19 cases due to the omicron variant.

    As an early New Year’s present, New York Governor Kathy Hochul issued a renewed face mask mandate for all public schools. Numerous upstate counties with more conservative officials immediately announced that they would not be complying with the order, while New York City quickly embraced the idea. But not all of the Big Apple is quite as blue as it was prior to the last set of local elections. This week, Nassau County on Long Island also bucked the trend. Newly elected county executive Bruce Blakeman announced that schools in his county would not be subject to the mandate and...

    The Democratic leaders of both Long Island counties have joined with dozens of Republican officials around the state to defy Gov. Kathy Hochul’s private-sector mask mandate — and boost the ranks of renegade county governments to nearly two-thirds the total. “While we will not be actively enforcing the mandate, we will respond to complaints and assist businesses with education and compliance however we can,” Democratic Nassau County Executive Laura Curran told The Post on Friday. ... Among the Big Apple’s five northern suburbs, only Westchester County has said it will crack down on violators — although in extremely vague and...

    This week, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced a new statewide mask mandate that will take effect on Monday, Dec. 13, citing a rise in case numbers. The mandate requires face masks to be worn in all indoor public places that don’t have a vaccine requirement. “A violation of any provision of this measure is subject to a maximum fine of $1,000 for each violation,” Hochul said in a statement. She also added that “local health departments are being asked to enforce these requirements.” But local governments were essentially blindsided by the announcement, and several counties with Republican executives are...

    The free ride is finally over for a Long Island man who went more than two decades without paying a penny on his mortgage — while courts failed to evict him. Guramrit Hanspal, 52, bought the three-bedroom, 2.5-bath East Meadow home in October 1998 for $290,000, with $58,000 down. He made the first mortgage payment of $1,602.37, and then never paid again. The house was foreclosed upon in 2000. Over the years, Hanspal filed four lawsuits and seven bankruptcies, cases which automatically pause any attempt to evict. He even claimed COVID-19 financial hardship, court records show. Other occupants of the...
