NYPD raids short-lived anti-Israel encampment at Fordham University’s Lincoln Center campus
The NYPD cleared out a short-lived anti-Israel encampment at Fordham University’s Lincoln Center campus on Wednesday at the request of the school, authorities said. Cops in riot gear entered the “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” before 6 p.m. and arrested several demonstrators who refused to leave, according to NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Operations Kaz Daughtry. The police action came just hours after the protesters set up the indoor tent city in response to the arrests of hundreds of like-minded demonstrators at Columbia University and the City University of New York on Tuesday night. The Fordham encampment, which began at around 8 a.m....
Police fatally shoot armed student outside Wisconsin middle school as students fled, some on in-line skates
Police shot and killed an armed student outside a Wisconsin middle school Wednesday, sending students fleeing for their lives — including some who escaped on in-line skates. Authorities responded to an “active shooter” situation reported outside Mount Horeb Middle School and “neutralized” a student with a gun, school officials said. No one else was harmed, State Attorney General Josh Kaul said at a press conference Wednesday evening. “This incident took place outdoors. The subject in this case never gained entry,” he said. Authorities described the student as a juvenile male but did not provide further identification. It’s not clear how many officers fired their weapons...
Access to remote learning, telemedicine during extreme weather events ending for millions
WASHINGTON – A federal program designed to provide internet access to low-income households is set to run out of funding during May, meaning millions of people could have to adapt to life without having online access. The Affordable Connectivity Program began during the pandemic and provides more than 23 million households with subsidies destined to support broadband access for jobs, education, healthcare and other vital needs of society. The Federal Communications Commission reports the program started with $14.2 billion, but that funding is expected to be completely exhausted by mid-May, according to representatives of the United States Telecom Association. “It does not bode...
Francisco Lindor exits Mets game in third inning with flu-like symptoms
Francisco Lindor was removed from Wednesday’s 1-0 loss to the Cubs at Citi Field prior to the top of the third inning with flu-like symptoms, the Mets announced. After the game, Carlos Mendoza said Lindor left the game with a virus. He was replaced at shortstop by Joey Wendle, who went hitless in three at-bats. Ex-Mets prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong gets clutch RBI to propel Cubs Lindor popped to short in his lone at-bat to end the bottom of the first and didn’t make a play in the field before leaving the game. The durable Lindor has started all 30 games for the Mets this season...
Suspect accused of socking mother of 3 and breaking her jaw cut loose again in NYC court despite upgraded felony charge
A deranged suspect accused of sucker punching a 57-year-old mother-of-three and breaking her jaw was cut loose again by a Brooklyn judge even after prosecutors upgraded the assault charge to a felony Wednesday. Franz Jeudy, 33, remained on supervised release after he was indicted on charges including second-degree assault – a bail eligible offense – more than a month after he randomly attacked bus aide Dulche Pichardo in Crown Heights, prosecutors said. The Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office requested $25,000 cash bail or $50,000 bond on the upgraded charges, but Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Matthew Sciarrino turned down that request. Jeudy allegedly socked Pichardo...
Adrian Houser feels ‘pretty close’ to being fixed as he fights to stay in Mets rotation
The Mets continue to express belief in Adrian Houser, who is set to make what seems like a significant start Thursday. The eighth-year major leaguer and first-year Met will bring an 8.37 ERA to the mound, his rotation spot beginning to feel the heat of both his own underperformance and others’ performance: Triple-A Syracuse holds interesting and effective arms in Joey Lucchesi, Christian Scott and Dom Hamel, and a group of rehabbing starters that includes Kodai Senga is getting closer to becoming options. Houser projected as the No. 5 starter at the onset of the season and will need to figure something...
Don’t let Big Tech influence the elections yet again this year
In less than six months, Americans will head to the polls. The stakes are high, and given the controversy surrounding our last two presidential elections, it’s more important than ever for states to ensure the integrity of their democratic processes, so that the people’s voice can be heard loud and clear. Thankfully, numerous states have passed reforms to address vulnerabilities and improve the integrity of their elections, as documented by the Heritage Foundation’s Election Integrity Scorecard. Yet election integrity is threatened by another danger: the censorship and manipulation of political information and opinions by large tech platforms. This isn’t just a threat to free...
Tyrese Maxey’s game-changing 4-point play shouldn’t have counted: NBA
Tyrese Maxey’s miracle comeback — or Knicks choke job — started with an illegal move. With its latest admission of a highly consequential blunder, the NBA said Maxey traveled before his four-point play with about 25 seconds left in regulation of Philadelphia’s Game 5 victory over the Knicks. “Maxey (PHI) gathers the ball on his left foot, takes two legal steps, and then moves his right foot again just before he is fouled on his shot,” the NBA determined in its 2-minute report. In addition, the league determined that two other mistakes disadvantaged the Knicks and one disadvantaged the 76ers in Game 5. Jalen...
Presidential debate organizers fire back at Trump campaign over schedule complaints
The Commission on Presidential Debates shot back at Donald Trump’s requests to hold more 2024 debates on Wednesday, standing firm on its schedule despite repeated counters from the 45th president’s campaign calling the dates “unacceptable.” “As it always does, the CPD considered multiple factors in selecting debate dates in order to make them accessible by the American public. These factors include religious and federal holidays, early voting, and the dates on which individual states close their ballots,” the CPD said in a statement Wednesday, stating that their first debate will still be held Sept. 16. The commission added that they are...
Mr. and Mrs. Met have a job opening — here’s how much you can make as iconic mascots
There’s a Help Wanted sign hanging on the doors outside of Citi Field — but it has nothing to do with the on-field product. The Mets are looking for applicants for a Manger of Mascot Operations position to pick up the iconic mantle of Mr. Met and Mrs. Met, the team’s beloved mascots and two of baseball’s most familiar faces, according to a job posting on LinkedIn. But if you think the gig will just be making nice with fans around the ballpark and leading the seventh-inning stretch, you have another thing coming. The mascot operations role for Mr. and Mrs. Met comes...
Airbnb offering exotic experiences from a Paris museum to the house in ‘Up’ — some for free
In a mad mix of game-show glitter and marketing flash, Airbnb is offering customers a chance to spend a night in a Paris museum, stay in houses mocked up to look like movie settings, or sleep surrounded by eight Ferrari racing cars. Those and other chimerical listings are part of a splashy new campaign by the short-term rental giant, which wants to portray itself as a company that sells experiences and not just alternatives to staying in a hotel. CEO Brian Chesky announced the 11 temporary listings — Airbnb is calling them “icons” — at an event Wednesday in Los Angeles. The San Francisco company hit upon the idea for...
Arab peace activist blasts ‘privileged’ anti-Israel US college students for blindly supporting Hamas: ‘Betraying all of us — Gazans included’
A prominent Arab peace activist ripped the clueless and “privileged” college kids raising hell across the US in the name of the pro-Palestinian movement — claiming they are propping up the real authoritarian “oppressors.” “In the West, you are privileged. You can demand even without understanding,” Rawan Osman, who fled her native Syria during the unrest of 2011, raged in an Instagram video this week. The thousands of students across the nation who blindly followed Columbia University’s lead and erected mini tent cities of their own are supporting Hamas without understanding what the terror group stands for, Osman alleged. What started as a...
The Islanders got it right with Patrick Roy
The Islanders will need to spend the offseason doing a lot of reflecting and changing things around — on the roster, certainly, and there is at least some question surrounding the front office, too. But for the first time since 2021, there is no question whatsoever about the head coaching position. After 42 games in charge, Patrick Roy looks like the guy. Lou Lamoriello’s mid-January play to bring Roy to Long Island from a golf course in Florida likely saved the Islanders from missing the playoffs entirely, and his presence behind the bench is a reason to cling to hope in...
Biden’s plan to bring in Gazan refugees is national security insanity
Just when you thought President Biden couldn’t possibly care less about US national security, the White House is reportedly considering opening the United States to refugees from Gaza. One plan would use the US Refugee Admissions Program (which Biden raised the cap on in 2021, caving to pressure from leftists) to grant refugee status to those who’ve fled into Egypt from the Gaza Strip — which would mean taxpayer-funded benefits and the potential to gain US citizenship. Gazans who have relatives in the United States could also be let in. How nuts is this? Let’s count the ways. First off, these...
400,000 migrants flown to US under Biden parole program ‘likely staying here forever’: experts
The roughly 400,000 migrants allowed into the US under the Biden administration’s Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan and Venezuelan [CHVN] parole program will most likely stay in the US indefinitely, several experts told The Post The program first began in October 2022 for Venezuelans and was expanded in November 2023 to allow 30,000 migrants per month to enter the US for up to two years “for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit.” Department of Homeland Security data revealed 400,000 migrants have taken advantage of the program by the end of February. Immigration experts say the huge influx — equivalent to 1,000 people per...
Shopper shocked to discover someone seemingly took bite out of new Aldi bacon package
We’ve written stories about mold in food pouches and dirty bandaids in yogurt, and the thing they all have in common is that something is inside food when it really shouldn’t be. But this story isn’t about what’s been found in a food item, rather – something has been taken out. A bite, to be specific. Yes, a human bite. Out of some ALDI bacon. ALLEGEDLY, we must add, but like… take a look for yourself, friends. It’s a bloody bite! “I really want to know what the story is here!” Massive fire engulfs NYC supermarket, spreads to 4 buildings, injuring 7 and displacing 30 residents A woman shared the unbelievable...
NYC taxi driver sounds off on ‘unfair’ congestion pricing: ‘Just a big money grab’
Looking for a fare shake I asked a longtime driver about the life of an NYC cabbie. Gene Telarico: “When rates went up, tips dropped down. Passengers say, ‘Why these extra charges?’ Listen, everyone’s trying to make a buck. You got to know that all New York has some sort of side hustle. “And Ubers take 30% of business. We’re better drivers. Better vetted. Yellow cabbies, born with intuition, don’t need GPS navigation tools. We weave and bob to get around.” Although your eyes look forward, what do you know from the back seat? “At 10:30, coming from a restaurant, they’re looser. One recent guy...
Grandma thought she was texting with Robert De Niro — but her granddaughter saw through the scam: ‘I couldn’t stop laughing’
He made her an offer she (almost) couldn’t refuse. A savvy granddaughter saved her grandma from divulging sensitive information to a scammer posing online as Robert De Nero. Gina Morgan, a 76-year-old from South Wales in the United Kingdom, got into a lengthy chit-chat on Facebook with someone posing as the “Godfather Part II” star, Caters News reported. She didn’t seem to be phased by the red carpet and other photos he sent, that the user name was “Robert De Niro page,” or that he was trying to peddle “membership cards,” not unlike a scam that might have been pulled off by...
Taxpayers shouldn’t pay for NYPD to ‘babysit unruly’ Columbia students, pols fume as cops asked to stay on guard
Columbia University should open its checkbook if school leaders want the NYPD to stay on the Ivy League campus through May 17 and “babysit unruly students,” a bipartisan group of city pols fumed Wednesday. The elite institution’s beleaguered president, Minouche Shafik, drew the ire of the City Council’s Common Sense Caucus with her request that cops stay on campus until two days after commencement to ensure that another anti-Israel encampment doesn’t spring back up. “Columbia created this mess and Columbia – not New Yorkers – should pay to clean it up,” the nine council members, led by Queens Republican Joann Ariola, Minority...
It’s ‘Top Chef’ for hospital food —no seriously
Scalpels down, knives out. Three chefs from New York hospitals competed head-to-head in a three-course, “Top Chef”-style cooking competition Wednesday in front of a live audience at the Institute of Culinary Education (ICE) in Lower Manhattan. The stakes were high. The winner received an all-expenses-paid trip to Napa. Celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson — a “Top Chef Masters” winner and owner of Harlem’s Red Rooster and buzzy Chelsea seafood restaurant Hav & Mar — was one of the judges. Jill Kalman, a cardiologist and Northwell’s Chief Medical Officer, and Northwell’s Michelin-starred corporate executive chef Bruno Tison were also on the judging panel....
