New York City mayor Eric Adams continued talks with high-ranking reality stars Wednesday night. Page Six reported that on a recent trip to L.A., the mayor partied with Paris Hilton. Now we hear he’s been hobnobbing with “Housewives” as well. We’re told the nightlife mayor—who seems to spend about as much time painting the town as governing it—got off a flight from DC and went directly to an intimate afterparty for Jennifer Lopez’s new movie, “Halftime,” arriving just after midnight.(Snip)Apparently Hizzoner was still having a ball when J.Lo left around 1:30 a.m., and we’re told that the singer stopped by his table to say goodbye.

President Joe Biden will travel to New Mexico today to meet with local officials and Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham to discuss the state's response to the two of the largest wildfires in its history which have now burned 600,000 acres and displaced thousands.

A mysterious series of attacks on US Navy warships off the coast of California in 2019 have been revealed to be caused by a cluster of drones launched from a Hong Kong cargo ship, a new report says.
The bizarre incidents, which were reported between March 30 and July 30, 2019 on seven warships and had led to speculation that they were caused by unidentified aerial phenomena or UFOs, came to light Friday after the publication of previously classified US Navy memos and ships’ logs, obtained by The Drive under Freedom to Information legislation. The drone attacks caused high-level concern because they took place near a sensitive naval training
Federal internal investigators have uncovered alarming failures by universities to require scientists doing taxpayer-funded research to disclose when they also pocket money from China and other foreign countries. The Health and Human Services Department inspector general said the failure to enforce disclosure rules exposes critical biomedical research to theft by China. Joanna Bisgaier, deputy regional inspector general who worked on the report, said the widespread disregard for government rules was unanticipated and she did not know if it was attributable to grantees’ ignorance, recklessness or malice.(Snip)More than two-thirds of National Institutes of Health grant recipients examined by the inspector general—69%—failed to require their researchers
White-hot inflation has forced the average American household to cough up an extra $460 per month, as surging prices for food and fuel put family budgets across the nation under strain. Moody’s Analytics senior economist Ryan Sweet calculated the figure based on data released Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics that showed the Consumer Price Index had jumped 8.6% in the 12-month period ending May 31–the largest increase since December 1981.(Snip)Americans in the market for a car or truck were out of luck in May, as the BLS found that the price of a new car had increased by 12.6% over 12 months ago.
President Joe Biden said Exxon made 'more money than God last year' as he attacked oil companies for not 'drilling' or paying taxes while gas prices are breaking records in a speech Thursday where he continued to blame 'Putin's price hike' on 41-year high inflation.(Snip)'Today's inflation report confirms what Americans already know—Putin's price hike is hitting America hard,' he said and conceded that prices need to come down further. The president blamed price gouging and Putin's 'tax on gas and food' for the spike and insisted it was still his administration's top priority to tackle inflation. He also attacked Republican Senator Rick Scott for his economic plan
Mexican drug cartels are taking advantage of the chaotic influx of migrants at the US southern border to smuggle thousands of pounds of deadly fentanyl into the country, experts say. “Border patrol agents are too busy dealing with the influx of migrants, and are not really focused on looking for fentanyl,” Robert Almonte, a Texas-based security consultant and former deputy chief of the El Paso Police Department, told The Post. “Border agents are not getting the support they need from the federal government to stop the flow of fentanyl, which is killing thousands of Americans.”(Snip)Fentanyl is largely being produced by the Sinaloa Cartel,
America's largest newspaper chain Gannett has instructed its newsrooms to scale back opinion pieces which are 'repelling readers' who do not want to be told what to do. The newspaper chain owns the USA Today network which takes in hundreds of local newspapers in almost every state across the country. At a recent editors committee meeting in April, editors said in a presentation: 'Readers don’t want us to tell them what to think. 'They don’t believe we have the expertise to tell anyone what to think on most issues. 'They perceive us as having a biased agenda,' according to The Washington Post.(Snip)'Today’s contemporary audiences frequently are unable to distinguish
Justin Bieber is experiencing paralysis in his face after being diagnosed with a rare disorder. “I wanted to update you guys on what’s been going on. Obviously, as you can probably see from my face, I have, a, this syndrome called Ramsay Hunt syndrome and it is from this virus that attacks the nerve in my ear and my facial nerves and has caused my face to have paralysis,” the pop star, 28, said in an Instagram video posted Friday.

Broadway is living up to its old nickname of the Great White Way in more ways than one. Despite an historic diverse class of Tony nominees this season, Black entertainers and advocates say Broadway is still far too white when it comes to who’s making the key decisions—and who’s sitting in the audience.(Snip)“There were plenty of Black and brown bodies on stages, but not in position to actually write checks, not in positions to say this is what’s going to be produced and not in positions to put their creative work to use featuring other Black and brown bodies,” Black Theatre Coalition co-founder T.

The bad witch has a point. An incumbent president’s own party dumping him without taking the party to rack and ruin would be unprecedented and would require an extraordinarily light touch. It goes without saying that it has to look like leaving was the president’s idea or else his partisans — and Biden has more than a few — would scream bloody murder and rip the party to shreds.
Yet there is a consensus

Get The Republican Party Back To Liz Cheney Republicanism 32 replies
Richard Haass, the president of the Council on Foreign Relations, told 'Morning Joe' on Wednesday that Liz Cheney Republicanism is conservative: "What we see today is that Republicans have ceased to be conservatives, and modern day Republicanism has become radicalism. It's become populist. (snip) That, to me, is obviously an unbelievably dangerous departure.

Democrats are doing all they can to distract from the horrible inflation which just hit new heights of bad. Their hope was the Jan. 6 Committee. But that isn’t going over so well. Now, we know we’ve had a lot of Jan. 6 coverage, but before I head off for more salient things, I couldn’t help but comment on the reaction of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Delusional-NY).
AOC was teary, saying on Instagram she was “so angry” having to “relive that footage.” Her Instagram post said, “I’m shaking all over again.” “We were trapped on the campus with no way out.”
“On a personal level, I wasn’t expecting it to feel like this,”

VERNON, Calif. -- Meat-packing giant Smithfield Foods said Friday it will close its only California plant next year, citing the escalating cost of doing business in the state.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) bragged about her efforts to block legislation that would increase security for Supreme Court justices shortly after authorities foiled an alleged assassination attempt against Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Ocasio-Cortez posted a video to her Instagram Stories on Thursday in which she claims to walk to the floor of the House of Representatives to object to unanimous consent for legislation, Newsweek reported.
The progressive “Squad” member said in the video that Thursday was a “fly out day” when many members of Congress left Washington, D.C., for their home districts.
Despite being an advocate of “civility,” “decency,” and “unity” in the past, Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-Pa.) has apparently been so radicalized by her caucus that she now says the Republican Party is “diseased” and must be “cleansed.”
“This is, in my opinion, a diseased Republican Party. And it needs to be cured and cleansed,” Houlahan said on the Daily Beast‘s The New Abnormal podcast last month. “So the stakes of having a Republican, as an example, in my seat are more than just policy differences. They are democracy, in my opinion.”
The GOP is “diseased” and must be “cleansed?” Where have you heard such rhetoric before? It bears a shocking
On Wednesday, President Joe Biden told television host Jimmy Kimmel in an interview that he is considering signing an executive order to protect abortion in the event the United States Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade. This comes after a leaked draft opinion from the Court case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization showed the Justices poised to overturn Roe.
“I think if the Court overrules Roe v. Wade and does what its draft –”
“Well, we fear they will,” Kimmel interjected.
