Maybe she needed the snacks for another reason … **SNIP** The failed 2024 Democratic presidential candidate went off on a bizarre (and nacho cheese-flavored) tangent while trying to make a point about DoorDash and affordable housing during her headline slot at the HumanX conference at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas on Sunday. Harris, 60, left many baffled during her conversation with Nuno Sebastiao, CEO of data science company Feedzai, as she recounted ordering food on DoorDash to keep her going while watching last week’s Oscars. “We did DoorDash ’cause I wanted Doritos. And the red carpet part was about to start...

Vice President Kamala Harris sat down with an ABC affiliate for her first solo interview Friday, choosing the same network that got her through this week’s slanted presidential debate — but still managed to stumble through softball questions. She answered five questions from Action News 6 ABC, a local affiliate of ABC News, in the interview that came just days after the moderators in the ABC debate with Donald Trump assisted her by providing fact checks on the former president but not her. One of the ABC moderators for the debate, Linsey Davis, is a member of Harris’ sorority and...

Forget red sauce or white sauce, thin crust or deep dish — the real question is salad or no salad? On top, that is.New Yorkers are talking after a curious image popped up on the Long Island Foodies Facebook page: a slice of pizza topped with a chicken Caesar salad. “It’s a bad picture, but in your experience, is a salad slice normally on a regular slice?” Sam Marshak asked his fellow foodies. “I’ve never seen this, so just curious what the norm is.” Yes, if you’re like this reporter and didn’t know, “salad pizza” is a thing. The pies...

Progressive Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.), a Squad member running a tight race for re-election in Missouri, is backing Vice President Harris to be the Democratic presidential nominee. Bush was among the earliest left-wing voices in the House to embrace Harris as the Democratic presidential nominee after President Biden announced that he was suspending his campaign on Sunday. She is competing to hold on to her seat in the state’s first congressional district against moderate Democratic challenger Wesley Bell, who is St. Louis County’s prosecuting attorney. “In 2020, voters turned out to deliver Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to the White...

Jonesing for lobster salad while out in the Hamptons? It’s a bisque-y proposition. Of course, lobster salad is a summertime staple in the land of money-is-no-object. But at beloved East Hampton delicatessen the Red Horse Market, they’re charging $120 per pound for the delicacy. Store manager Christian Pineda told The Post he’s only gotten complaints “from some of our customers” about the lobster salad. Most patrons, though, are willing to shell out big bucks.

President Joe Biden’s eating habits are no longer just the subject of Fox News host Jesse Watters’ invaluable scrutiny, after Newsmax host Eric Bolling grew increasingly angry Monday with the president eating salad at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner over the weekend. “Here is the President of the United States, the man with the nuclear codes at his fingertips, grappling with a bowl of lettuce. He can barely feed himself,” Bolling insisted, instructing his audience to watch a clip of Biden eating.

NEW ORLEANS — As the nation prepares for trillions of red-eyed bugs known as periodical cicadas to emerge, it's worth noting that they're not just annoying, noisy pests — if prepared properly, they can also be tasty to eat. Blocks away from such French Quarter fine-dining stalwarts as Antoine's and Brennan's, the Audubon Insectarium in New Orleans has long served up an array of alternative, insect-based treats at its “Bug Appetit” cafe overlooking the Mississippi River. “Cinnamon Bug Crunch,” chili-fried waxworms, and crispy, cajun-spiced crickets are among the menu items. Periodical cicadas stay buried for years, until they surface and...

Vice President Kamala Harris has been mocked for serving up her latest word salad — this time saying during a TV interview that “this is the most election of our lifetime.” During an appearance on MSNBC’s “The Last Word” with Lawrence O’Donnell, Harris slammed former President Donald Trump’s remarks that migrants were “poisoning the blood of our country.” But the veep then stumbled over her words while turning her comments to the 2024 presidential election.

As questions continue to swirl about President Biden's cognitive abilities and competency for the job of leader of the free world, Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., proffered that the criticisms may be the product of the president's comparatively scant public appearances and press conferences. **SNIP** "It's not how old you are. It's what kind of shape your in mentally and physically are. I think a majority of Americans believe that President Biden has changed a lot in the last two years," he said. "Many Americans believe that he can't finish a sentence without taking a nap. I'm not saying that's fair,...

**SNIP** Aside from falling flat with the New Orleans crowd, the statement sparked renewed criticism into Harris's history of verbal gaffes. That scrutiny was largely seen on social media - as Twitter users flocked to their keyboards to lambaste the 58-year-old Oakland native, with several expressing astonishment over her 'empty' explanation. That said, it's not the first time Harris has been mocked for her strange choice of words. **SNIP** This time around, the internet was just as ruthless - with many equating Harris's comments to that of an AI Chatbot. Footage of the Friday flub - which came before performances...

CONCORD, N.H. — Amy Klobuchar rode a late-breaking wave of momentum over the past week to finish third in the New Hampshire primary Tuesday night, vaulting from relative obscurity into contention for the Democratic nomination for president.

Aug. 19 (UPI) -- A Wisconsin family said they were shocked to discover a live frog inside the salad they bought from a local supermarket. Karlie Allen said her family bought the plastic container of Simple Truth Organic lettuce salad at the Pick 'n Save store in Glendale and didn't discover until inside their home that the container also housed a live frog.

The Allens...

Democratic presidential candidate Amy Klobuchar on Friday faced fresh accusations of belittling staffers, with a new report relaying a bizarre allegation that she'd berated a staff member for failing to bring her a fork with her salad. The alleged confrontation, as reported by The New York Times, got weird. According to the newspaper, the aide who neglected to get plastic utensils for Senator Klobuchar, D-Minn., committed the affront at an airport while traveling to South Carolina in 2008. Klobuchar not only chastised the aide, but reportedly proceeded to eat the salad using a comb from her bag -- then handed...

OK, we knew Amy Klobuchar was a nightmare to work for, but this is just … wow:
