A Florida nurse whose husband walked in on her having sex with his 15-year-old son has been sentenced to two years in prison — with the boy’s mom angrily calling the stepmom an “incestuous pedophile.” Alexis Von Yates, now 35, had pounced as she watched a horror movie with her stepson, who was visiting his dad in Ocala last July, her arrest warrant showed. The since-fired nurse told the boy she was “horny” after not having “sex in two weeks” while “on her period” — leading him on to strip her and have sex, while his younger siblings slept in...

Paramount Skydance is poised to name Bari Weiss as editor in chief of CBS News in the coming days — giving the hard-charging journalist unusual clout to revamp the struggling network as it also acquires her scrappy news site the Free Press, The Post has learned. Weiss — a 41-year-old former New York Times opinion writer who has built the Free Press into a buzzworthy site with a contrarian bent — is expected to be named to the top post in a Monday announcement, although the talks are in flux and the timing could change, a source close to the...

Ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo apologized to Jewish New Yorkers for lockdowns he imposed during the COVID-19 outbreak five years ago that banned large gatherings, closed schools and disrupted religious traditions. The mea culpa comes just hours before the beginning of Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar when one is meant to atone for sins — and while Cuomo runs as an underdog in his political comeback bid for mayor. In the video, Cuomo said he made decisions to protect the health and safety of New Yorkers during the once-in-a-century pandemic that killed about 80,000 residents. “However, I recognize...

SNIP Known in the Armenian community as “psycho Barbie,” Nadine had allegedly stalked an ex. She was also accused of keying his new girlfriend’s car and showing up at his home on Christmas Day in 2010 with her two children to try to win him back, according to a restraining order. “Nadine always believed she was above the law,” the former boyfriend said. With Menendez, friends said, she played hard to get, though, pitting him against Anton. When they began dating again in 2018, Menendez allegedly sent Capitol Police officers from Washington, DC, to his rival’s office in Hackensack, New...

Changes are brewing — and they could be a sign of a decline in living standards. Maxwell House recently announced it will be changing its name for the first time in 133 years, rebranding to “Maxwell Apartment.” While the coffee blend will remain the same with the same “taste, aroma, quality and ingredients,” the rebrand is in name only to represent the reality of today’s consumers. Nearly a third of Americans are now renting smaller places, rather than purchasing full-size homes — and the coffee giant wants to reflect that stat with its temporary rebrand. “Two-thirds of American adults drink...

An OnlyFans model has been arrested in Mexico after two popular Colombian musicians were tortured, murdered and chopped into pieces by drug traffickers, according to authorities. Angie Miller was busted a day after the body of her boyfriend, Bayron Sanchez Salazar — known by his stage name B King — was found along with that of fellow musician Jorge Luis Herrera Lemos, aka Regio Clown, in Cocotitlan, just outside of Mexico City, on Sept. 22, according to El Pais.

If Reese Witherspoon, Oprah Winfrey, Drew Barrymore and Gwyneth Paltrow are peddling a memoir from their billionaire investor pal, who has a mind-blowing tale of self-actualization — maybe just maybe, there’s a little more to the story. We learned just how much more this week, in a blockbuster New York Times piece that dug into the narrative behind Amy Griffin’s bestselling memoir, “The Tell.” And the article is far more compelling than the book itself. SNIP However, her memories were recovered during therapy sessions while under the influence of the drug MDMA — a practice that is illegal and was...

On Wednesday night, a Turning Point USA event at Virginia Tech honoring the late Charlie Kirk took an ugly turn. A male student stood up to ask popular podcaster Megyn Kelly if she was concerned about the growing, unseemly influence of “rich billionaire Jews” on American politics. “Did you say ‘rich billionaire Jews’?” an incredulous Kelly responded. “Yes,” the questioner said, as if this was a completely normal topic to bring up. It’s just one more example of the abnormal fixation younger Americans have on Israel and Jews. The young man seemed to be allied with the progressive left, which...

Blanche Ely High School assistant football coach Jamir Clarke was arrested Monday after getting into a physical altercation with the students during practice, according to a Broward Sheriff’s Office police report obtained by Local 10.

A customer had some reservations about his bill at a restaurant. One frustrated customer claimed that they were charged a “quiet time surcharge” on their bill, which was added before the tip — because the restaurant they dined at was empty. The user shared on Reddit that they decided to check out a local restaurant for the first time, which seemed to be a quiet place to dine. What seemed like a good thing quickly went south. “At the end [of the meal], I check my bill and there’s an extra 20% pre-tip charge labelled ‘Quiet Time Surcharge,'” they explained....

Disgraced former FBI agent Peter Strzok has lost his long-running lawsuit claiming he was illegally fired for sending messages attacking President Trump during his first term. Strzok had argued that he was only fired in 2018 because Trump reacted furiously to texts the agent exchanged while investigating ties between Russia and the Republicans’ 2016 campaign. But US District Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled Tuesday that Strzok failed to show it violated his First Amendment rights. The judge, appointed by President Barack Obama, praised Strzok as having been “among the FBI’s leading counterintelligence experts” — but ruled that there was “no...

Seen from the sky, the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility in California’s Mojave Desert resembles a futuristic dream. Viewed from the bottom line, however, Ivanpah is anything but. The solar power plant, which features three 459-foot towers and thousands of computer-controlled mirrors known as heliostats, cost some $2.2 billion to build. Construction began in 2010 and was completed in 2014. Now, it’s set to close in 2026 after failing to efficiently generate solar energy. In 2011, the US Department of Energy under former President Barack Obama issued $1.6 billion in three federal loan guarantees for the project and the Secretary of...

An escalator malfunction and frozen teleprompter disrupted President Trump’s marquee address to the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, prompting him to improvise. The escalator carrying Trump en route to deliver his remarks had abruptly stalled shortly after the president set foot on it, forcing him to walk up it. Then, after making his way to the podium, Trump revealed his teleprompter wasn’t working. “I don’t mind making this speech without a teleprompter, because the teleprompter is not working,” Trump began, looking a little irked, drawing laughter. “I feel very happy to be up here with you, nevertheless — and...

Hamas ominously released what it called a “parting image” Saturday of the remaining 48 Israelis being held captive in Gaza, as the Jewish state’s ground troops prepare to close in on Gaza City. The image is a compilation of the faces of the captives, with the name Ron Arad inscribed below each one. Arad was an Israeli air force pilot who went missing during a 1986 bombing mission in southern Lebanon, who is believed to have been captured and since died. He is still officially classified as missing. The terror group blames Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for rejecting a...

The children of US Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) relentlessly tormented their mom’s personal assistant, driving him to commit suicide, an explosive lawsuit claims. Brandon O’Brien, 35, worked for the senator’s wife, Nancy Bass Wyden — owner of Manhattan’s famed Strand Bookstore — from June 2022 to September 2024 and was “frequently tasked” with caring for the couple’s young kids, including driving them to school in NYC and watching them during trips to Disneyworld. The disturbing behavior began in September 2022 when the couple’s then-10-year-old daughter allegedly exposed herself to O’Brien, making “sexually explicit” comments and asking about his “intimate life”...

The rich and famous appeared to have few qualms about palling around with Jeffrey Epstein following the disgraced financier’s 13-month prison stay for soliciting sex from an underage girl, with boldface names appearing on his schedule such as Chris Rock, David Blaine, Bill Gates, Richard Branson, JPMorgan boss Jamie Dimon, and the former CEO of one of Donald Trump’s Atlantic City casinos.

Hachette Book Group scrapped “Apropos of Nothing,” which was scheduled to come out next month, after Allen’s estranged son, Ronan Farrow, blasted the publisher on Twitter and dozens of employees staged a walkout Thursday. He has been a vocal supporter of his sister, Dylan, who has accused Allen of molesting her as a child. “The Hachette decision to drop the Woody Allen book makes me very uneasy. It’s not him; I don’t give a damn about Mr. Allen. It’s who gets muzzled next that worries me,” King tweeted Friday evening. “Once you start, the next one is always easier,” he...

He’s taking a left hook. State Democratic Chairman Jay Jacobs’ refusal to back socialist Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral bid is turning the party’s ideological rift into a full-blown crater — as lefties call on the longtime boss to resign and moderates hail his “common sense” take. Moderate mayoral candidates Eric Adams, the incumbent, and Andrew Cuomo, the former thrice-elected Democratic governor, were among those praising Jacobs on Friday for standing up to Mamdani’s radical views. But support from the pair – who are Dems running as independents – was arguably lost in the progressive blowback against Jacobs for bucking newfound Mamdani...
