Five decapitated heads were strung up and put on display at a popular tourist beach in Ecuador on Sunday — in what appeared to be a gruesome warning to gangs. The heads were suspended between two wooden poles and tied to a length of green rope on a beach in the Pacific resort of Puerto Lopez, the Ecuadorian outlet Primicias reported.

In addition to regulating sleep and wake cycles, it also regulates hormones, body temperature and digestion.

Hotshot lawyer Alan Jackson likely quit Nick Reiner’s murder case because he doesn’t have the money to foot the bill for the pricey attorney, experts told The Post. The 32-year-old son of beloved movie director Rob Reiner was in court in Los Angeles on Wednesday, where Jackson announced he and his firm would be withdrawing as Nick Reiner’s defense lawyer after just three weeks on the case.

The mayor of Dallas said he’s ready to welcome a “flood” of Wall Street firms if Zohran Mamdani follows through on his socialist agenda — and even claimed that Texas could overtake New York as the nation’s top financial hub. In an exclusive sitdown interview with The Post, Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson said Mamdani’s socialist agenda for the Big Apple — including vows to hike taxes on the rich and expand government control over prices for housing, groceries, and childcare — could accelerate defections of big financial firms from the city.

Former President Joe Biden’s long career in politics allowed him to retire with the largest taxpayer-funded pension of any ex-prez in US history — $417,000, or more than his presidential salary, an expert says.

And Zohran Mamdani has . . . Ms. Rachel. Why would the man about to be sworn in as mayor of America’s largest city elevate a woke, anti-Israel YouTube children’s entertainer to his inner circle, appointing her as a prime member of his inaugural committee?

SNIP That Mamdani rushed to anoint Ms. Rachel as his advisor is further proof, as if any further proof was needed, that New York is about to be governed by the most infantile crew ever placed at the helm of a major American municipality.

A salacious letter purportedly written by Jeffrey Epstein that directly referenced President Trump is fake, the Justice Department said Tuesday. “The FBI has confirmed that this alleged letter from Jeffrey Epstein to Larry Nassar is FAKE,” the DOJ wrote on X hours after it pledged it was “looking into the validity of this alleged letter.” Epstein purportedly wrote the letter to fellow jailed sex offender Larry Nassar — the disgraced USA Gymnastics doctor who is serving hundreds of years of prison for abusing girls under his care.

An amateur sleuth and self-taught cryptography expert is convinced he’s cracked the notorious unsolved Zodiac and Black Dahlia murders — and that the killer is the same man. Alex Baber — a 50-year-old West Virginian with autism — used AI programs and his codebreaking prowess to whittle down the Zodiac killer’s infamous 1970 clue he sent to newspapers and identify a single suspect with an overwhelming connection across all the murders: a late Chicagoan named Marvin Margolis. “It’s my autism. Once I start on something, I have to see it through. The deeper I go, the harder I push. My...
