Former Attorney General William P. Barr will release a memoir in March that will dive into his tenure under the presidencies of George H.W. Bush and Donald Trump. In the long-rumored book, “One Damn Thing After Another: Memoirs of an Attorney General,” Mr. Barr will give a “candid account of his historic tenures serving two vastly different presidents,” according to a book description on Amazon. “In this candid memoir, Barr takes readers behind the scenes during seminal moments of the 1990s, from the LA riots to Pan Am 103 and Iran Contra,” the description states. “Thirty years later, Barr faced an unrelenting barrage of issues, such as Russiagate,

Perceive this, Mr. Mayor! New Yorkers reacted harshly Monday to Eric Adams’ claim that they’re merely experiencing “the perception of fear” on the subways, saying they want the mayor to know they avoid riding the rails for a very real reason: to keep themselves safe.
An Upper West Side lawyer said she’s been spending about $500 on Uber rides a month amid the recent spate of shoving incidents that led to the slaying of a woman in the Times Square station on Saturday. “The fear is real,” said the 31-year-old woman, who gave her name as Monica. “When you hear incidents that women are being thrown onto the subway

AT&T has reluctantly agreed to delay the launch of its C-band 5G technology after the FAA and pilots unions threatened to cancel hundreds of flights over fears the roll-out would make it unsafe to fly, and Verizon is being urged by the White House to follow suit in order to avoid thousands of flights being canceled tomorrow.
The new technology was due to launch around the US on Wednesday January 19th, a deadline that has been in the making for two years. To launch, AT&T and Verizon towers that emit the signals necessary to power it were due to be switched on.

The Department of Homeland Security and FBI are warning faith-based communities of an increasing threat of attacks. They also urged state and local law enforcement agencies to monitor their security measures for gathering events at houses of worship, sending out the guidance after a weekend hostage crisis at a Texas synagogue. Faith-based communities have and will likely continue to be targets of violence by both domestic violent extremists and those inspired by foreign terrorists,” Paul Abbate, FBI deputy director and John D. Cohen, a top intelligence official at DHS, wrote in a letter on Monday obtained by multiple news outlets. The letter highlighted that the threat of violence

The post was taken down on Monday morning following heavy disapproval.(Snip)The Michigan Democratic Party later deleted the post on Martin Luther King Day and retracted its original statement. It is unclear who wrote the post—but Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has been blasted for what many see as meddling

The fourth dose of the Covid vaccine is less effective on the Omicron variant and provides only limited defence, a preliminary study in Israel has found. Israel's Sheba Medical Center began administering a fourth vaccine to more than 270 medical staff last month during a trial program. Experts studied the defence of the Pfizer booster in 154 people after two weeks and the Moderna booster in 120 people—who had previously been vaccinated three times with the Pfizer vaccine—after one week. The clinical trial found that both groups showed increases in antibodies 'slightly higher' than following the third vaccine last year. But it said the increased antibodies did not prevent

The sister of the deranged ex-con accused of fatally shoving a Times Square straphanger told The Post on Monday that her sibling never should have been free to walk the streets. Josette Simon wept as she recalled she once even begged a hospital to keep her troubled brother locked up after his life was derailed by mental illness.(Snip)“Somehow, in his 30s, something happened and he lost it,” she said. “He kept seeing and hearing people after him.(Snip)“I remember begging one of the hospitals, ‘Let him stay,’ because once he’s out, he didn’t want to take medication, and it was the medication that kept him going,”

Alnaby, NY—State landmarks will be lit in red, green, and black Monday night to mark Martin Luther King Jr. Day, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced. “Today we pause to reflect and remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s teachings on justice, peace, equality, love–and his deep, abiding faith in people given a lifetime confronted by injustice,” said Hochul. “As we celebrate Dr. King’s legacy, it’s up to each of us to reward that faith and do everything in our power to build a better, more just society. Divided, we falter alone–but united, we rise together.”

An artist has accused Lego of recreating a leather jacket he made for Queer Eye cast-member Antoni Porowski without the artist’s permission, claiming that a toy jacket included in a Lego set based on the Netflix show is a “blatant copy” of his design. James Concannon, whose clothes have been regularly worn by Porowski on the popular program, filed a lawsuit against the Danish toy giant in a Connecticut district court last month. The designer, who is seeking damages, alleges that one of the outfits included in the set for Porowski’s figurine copies “the unique placement, coordination, and arrangement of the individual artistic elements” on the jacket.

A teenager who was working the drive-thru at a Milwaukee Burger King when she was shot and killed in an apparent robbery may have staged the incident with her best friend and her best friend's father who acted as the robber, court documents allege. Niesha Harris-Brazell, 16, was working a shift with her best friend, Mariah Edwards, on January 2, when she was found fatally shot inside the fast-food joint. Just a few minutes prior, surveillance footage caught a man in a red hoodie and a facemask waving a pistol around and demanding money as Harris-Brazell frantically took money out of the cash register

"People of north African origin" have different ideas about how to have fun outside cathedrals. How great would it be to see just one nation's leaders stand up and say, enough, and deport the lot of them? Could easily start a domino effect recognizing the radical notion that people deserve to have a homeland.
