Mayor Adams bragged in 2019 about being a better police officer than his “cracker” colleagues in the NYPD, the Daily News has learned. Adams, who was at the time gearing up to launch his campaign for mayor, went on the racially-charged diatribe while at a private event in Harlem on Dec. 13, 2019, a video exclusively obtained by The News shows. “Every day in the Police Department, I kicked those crackers’ a--,” Adams says in the video. “Man, I was unbelievable in the Police Department with 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement,” he continued, referring to a police advocacy group he co-founded in the 1990s.

The city’s high school application process is now a crapshoot — and top grades barely matter. One month before the application deadline, the Department of Education unveiled its long-awaited new admission system, lowering the bar for entry into many competitive high schools—and tossing kids with a range of academic achievement into a random hopper.(Snip)Amy Nicolas, a straight-A Catholic school eighth-grader, is aiming for Townsend Harris HS in Queens or another top-ranked public school. “I’m definitely worried about my chances. It’s pretty much a lottery,” she said. “My friends are very smart–their grades are 90 and above–but they’re actually pretty scared of being rejected.”
At least five homeless people have turned a stretch of Whitney Avenue in Elmhurst, Queens into an urban camping ground. The encampment has persisted for two years—with the city taking no action, despite 41 complaints made through 311 since Jan. 1, 2020.
“Everybody complains. It’s too dirty. Sometimes Sanitation comes, sometimes they don’t. If they don’t come, it’s a mess,” Steven Li, 45, manager of nearby Getting Well Rx Pharmacy Inc., said.
Littered along the sidewalk, gutter, and street are bags of trash, clothes, office chairs, a shopping cart and milk crates.“We call [the police] so many times. The cops don’t come. They told us, ‘What can we
Backpacker killer Ivan Milat did not live to see his long-term home's latest refurbishment but he would not really fit in at Supermax these days. Milat was one of the first inmates when Supermax opened 20 years ago and before his death in 2019 was already the odd one out in many ways.(Snip)Originally called the High Risk Management Unit, this plain-looking fortress is now officially designated the High Risk Management Correctional Centre. It is known to the public as Supermax but has sometimes been dubbed Supermosque due to its ever increasing number of Islamic inmates. Supermax sits with the grounds of Goulburn Correctional Centre
In the middle of Paris’s third Covid lockdown last March, a hashtag appeared on Twitter with a photo of a lock on the Canal Saint-Martin that runs through the north of the city clogged with litter, plastic bags and bottles. Images of Paris looking worse for wear are nothing new but, within days, dozens of pictures of overflowing bins, broken pavements and graffiti-covered walls appeared with the same hashtag–#SaccageParis–which roughly translates as Trashed Paris. Today, less than a year on, the hashtag has been used more than 2.7m times on Twitter alone and has become the battle cry for those who fear the once beautiful city
An unhinged commuter attacked two MTA conductors during a violent 7-minute spree at a Bronx train station, police said Saturday. The suspect, who was wearing a black bubble coat, grey hoodie and was carrying a cup of coffee, appeared agitated and was pacing on the Manhattan-bound platform at the Prospect Ave. station near Longwood Ave. in Foxhurst at 3:13 p.m. Thursday when a No. 5 train came rolling into the station. When the conductor opened his window to perform a safety check, the straphanger punched him in his arm before the train went onto the next station. The man remained at the station for another few minutes
A man convicted of attempting to set fire to a high school during the Black Lives Matter riots in Minneapolis following the death of George Floyd has been sentenced to five years probation. Mohamed Hussein Abdi, 20, was handed the probation sentence in a U.S. District Court in St. Paul, Minnesota, Thursday after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit arson, according to court documents obtained by Fox News. Abdi was also ordered to pay just over $34,000 in restitution to Gordon Parks High School in St. Paul. Court documents state that the sentence was “imposed pursuant to the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984.” The presiding judge, Reagan-appointed District Court
Vitamin D may help fight off coronavirus after all, a study suggests. The jury has been out on the 'sunshine vitamin' since early in the pandemic, with conflicting findings muddying the waters. Papers that did find a link were deemed not rigorous enough and not definitive. But a new study—this time in Israel—claims to have the most conclusive evidence yet. Previous research has been criticised for only looking at vitamin D levels when the Covid patient was already in hospital.(Snip)To overcome this limitation, in their latest study, researchers from Bar Ilan University and the Galilee Medical Center looked at patient records up to two years before
Four weeks ago, OneAmerica insurance company CEO Scott Davison revealed that they had witnessed 'the highest death rates in the history of this business—not just at OneAmerica' with a jump of '40% over what they were pre-pandemic.' Interestingly, Davison noted that the majority of deaths are not classified as due to Covid-19. The implication to many was clear—that the Covid-19 vaccine is linked to the excess mortality, and months of vaccine injury reports were now spilling over to actuarial data—which is beginning to show, among other things, that younger, working-age people began dying in greater numbers as vaccine mandates hit
The Home Office has told refugees staying in hotels it will stop giving them free toiletries and medication, according to a new letter. The letter states that the measures will come into effect on February 11 and comes after it was revealed that the Government is spending £4.7 million a day housing asylum seekers in hotels, an estimated £127 per person. Faiz Mohammad Seddeqi, 30, a former guard at the British Embassy in Kabul, received the letter on Thursday. Mr Seddeqi has been staying in a hotel for almost six months after he was evacuated to the UK from Afghanistan in August last year with his wife and son.
Disgraced peer Lord Ahmed has been jailed for more than five years for trying to rape a young girl and sexually assaulting a boy aged under 11 in the 1970s—and his victim is now calling for him to be stripped of his title. The former Labour politician, 64, was convicted in January of sexually abusing two children when he was a teenager in Rotherham.(Snip)Ahmed was found guilty of two counts of attempted rape and one of buggery and was today jailed for five years and six months. His two victims, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, both bravely sat in court to see their abuser jailed.
Five robbers swarmed a high-end Soho boutique Thursday afternoon, stealing $48,300 worth of luxury goods and injuring a security guard. The brazen heist happened around 12:30 p.m. at the Celine Boutique on Wooster Street, where some pricey handbags retail for thousands of dollars, the NYPD said. Two suspects casually entered the Manhattan store before three cohorts pushed the door open and fought with the French boutique’s security, according to police.
One guard suffered an injury to his elbow and thumb during the fracas. The suspects fled the store with their haul and remained on the run Friday night, police said. In 2020, thieves robbed the Soho store

A new super-mutant HIV strain that makes infected individuals ill twice as fast as current versions of the virus has been detected in the Netherlands. The new mutant—called the VB variant—has infected at least 109 people, according to a study by Oxford University.
The strain damages the immune system and weakens a person's ability to fight everyday infections and disease faster than previous versions of the virus. It means those who catch this strain could develop AIDS more quickly. The VB variant also has a viral load between 3.5 and 5.5 times higher than the current strain, meaning infected people are more likely to transmit the virus
Former President Donald Trump lashed out at his vice president for saying he had 'no right' to overturn Biden's 2020 win, claiming he is 'right and everyone knows it.' Trump, 75, bashed Mike Pence, 62, in another political row over the 2020 election results, calling the former VP an 'automatic conveyor belt for the Old Crow Mitch McConnell.' 'Just saw Mike Pence’s statement on the fact that he had no right to do anything with respect to the Electoral Vote Count, other than being an automatic conveyor belt for the Old Crow Mitch McConnell to get Biden elected President as quickly as possible,' Trump wrote in a statement.
Mayor Eric Adams apologized for a 2019 video where he called white police officers 'crackers.'
Adams, 61, was caught bragging about being an 'unbelievably' good police officer compared to his white colleagues at a 2019 event in East Harlem where he was announcing he was going to run for mayor.
'Every day in the police department, I kicked those crackers’ a**,' he said in the recently resurfaced video. 'Man, I was unbelievable in the police department with 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement.'
Tesla CEO Elon Musk accused GoFundMe of hypocrisy after the company canceled the Freedom Convoy fundraiser on Friday after it actively supported a campaign for the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest in Seattle.The crowdfunding platform claimed the convoy fundraiser - which raised $10million Canadian dollars ($8 million USD) in support of truckers protesting against COVID-19 vaccine mandates - violated its terms of service 'which prohibits the promotion of violence and harassment.' GoFundMe plans to distribute the remaining $9million of donated funds to 'credible and established charities' that were reportedly chosen by the convoy organizers and have been verified by the platform.
The US State Department is waiving sanctions on Iran's civilian nuclear program in the hope that Tehran will return to the 2015 nuclear agreement, a senior official said Friday.As U.S. negotiators head back to Vienna for what could be a make-or-break session, Secretary of State Antony Blinken signed several sanctions waivers related to Iran's civilian nuclear activities. The move reverses the Trump administration's decision to rescind them. The resumption of the waiver, ended by Trump in 2020, 'would be essential to ensuring Iran's swift compliance' if a new deal on controlling Tehran's nuclear program can be reached in talks in Vienna, the State Department official said

Karl Rove is, once again, beating the war drums. He is ready to send 18-year-olds like my son to fight nuclear Russia over Ukraine’s border so that he and the other neocons can talk like tough guys on TV. On Jan. 28, Karl Rove shared an article on his Twitter page written by Noah Rothman attacking American populists who are opposed to sending our troops to war with Russia.
My view is that Mr. Rove despises “America First.” He loves war and the global economy that all these wars prop up.
Hollywood actress Susan Sarandon apologized Friday for a meme she shared this week implying that police officers are “not needed any day.” Sarandon made the insensitive remark in a now-deleted tweet accompanied by a photo of the police funeral for Officer Jason Rivera of the New York Police Department. “I deeply regret the meme I recently shared on Twitter that included a photo of Office Jason Rivera’s funeral,” Sarandon wrote in a tweet. “I sincerely apologize to the family of Officers Rivera and Mora for causing additional pain in their time of grieving.”
Is the dam finally breaking on maintaining the fantasy that trans women do not have an inherent advantage over biological females in competitive sports?
Sixteen members of the University of Pennsylvania women’s swim team sent a letter to the school and to the Ivy League, asking them not to take legal action that would challenge the new NCAA rules for transgender athletes to compete. The new rules would make it very difficult for their trans teammate, Lia Thomas, to compete as a female.
The 16 swimmers — out of 39 on the team — are asking that Thomas be sidelined.
