The city Department of Health said Wednesday it was poised to offer thousands of new monkeypox vaccination slots, just hours after it received a new shipment of the much-sought inoculation from the feds. New Yorkers seemed ready to snap them up, too, as they quickly grabbed appointments that were posted prematurely Wednesday due to an online glitch in just minutes.(Snip)The second monkeypox vaccine delivery—which arrived Tuesday and netted almost 6,000 new doses—comes as officials at DOHMH battle a wave of recent cases amid recent LGBT Pride celebrations, which concluded at the end of June.(Snip)“Anyone can get and spread monkeypox,” the Health Department said
A hard-working Manhattan bodega clerk who was forced to grab a knife to fend off a violent ex-con, now finds himself sitting behind bars at the notorious Rikers Island jail charged with murder and unable to post $250,000 bail. The sky-high bail for Jose Alba—who has no known criminal history—was just half of what controversial Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office demanded, despite surveillance video showing the clerk being assaulted by his alleged victim in the bodega. Alba, 51, was charged with the fatal stabbing of Austin Simon, 34, who can be seen storming behind the counter at the Hamilton Heights Grocery on Broadway
President Biden took aim at the opposing party Wednesday by falsely claiming that Republicans—rather than members of his own party—are preventing Congress from implementing his proposed federal gas tax holiday to blunt fuel costs. “All Republicans do nothing [and] obstruct our efforts to lower your gas taxes,” Mr. Biden said in Cleveland, Ohio, during remarks about the economy and employer pension plans.(Snip)Rep. Peter DeFazio, Oregon Democrat and chairman of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, has been one of the most outspoken critics of a gas tax holiday. He described it as “well-intentioned but ill-conceived policy” when Mr. Biden first advocated for one in late June.
The mysterious Georgia Guidestones have sustained significant damage after residents reported hearing a thunderous explosion near their location. The Georgia Bureau of Investigations (GBI) told reporters that preliminary information suggests someone used an explosive device to damage the pillars. The Elbert County Sheriff's Office is working with the GBI to investigate the attack on the structure.
The guidestones—sometimes called America's Stonehenge for their appearance after being erected in 1980—consists of six granite slabs, with an inscription carved in eight different languages across the slabs.(Snip)Those recommendations include items like "maintain humanity under 500m in perpetual balance with nature" and "unite humanity with a living new language."
Joe Biden has shipped five million barrels from the United States' Strategic Oil Reserve abroad, after claiming that releasing them would help ease Americans' pain at the pumps. The president faces accusations of a sneaky sleight of hand as it was revealed that between a fifth and a sixth of the reserve oil he bragged about releasing to boost supply made its way offshore to Europe and Asia in June. Biden authorized the release of a million barrels a day from April onwards.(Snip)Biden's announcement about releasing the oil barrels was made in April, and saw him say: 'These releases will put more than one million barrels per day
Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had such expensive tastes that he demanded gifts in the form of cigars to dip into Cointreau liqueur, a Jerusalem court heard today. Netanyahu is undergoing a blockbuster corruption trial on charges of fraud and breach of trust for allegedly accepting luxury gifts from billionaires Arnon Milchan and James Packer worth hundreds of thousands of pounds, advancing the former's various interests in return.(Snip)'If I'd give three bottles of champagne, [Sara would] complain, 'Why only three?" she added. Sara's favourite champagne was a rosé from Moet & Chandon, while she also delivered the premium Dom Perignon vintage brand, which Klein said they would pay
A violent mob can be seen on video attacking an Illinois state trooper in Chicago—pelting his squad car with firecrackers and smashing the windshield. The group was engaging in “reckless driving stunts” off Interstate 90 on Sunday afternoon when the trooper drove through the intersection and was attacked, according to a police spokesman. Nearly 100 people descended on the vehicle, throwing rocks and bricks and jumping on the hood. The first attacker, wearing a tank top, jumps on the hood and appears to go onto the roof. “Chicago, we got a mob–he just jumped on my car,” the exasperated trooper is heard saying over the police radio.
Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday participated in an event featuring a critical spelling error on the stage backdrop. The vice president walked on stage smiling and waving at the Essence Festival in New Orleans where she participated in an interview with actress Keke Palmer. But behind the vice president, the text mistakenly read “Lousiana” instead of Louisiana. It is unclear who is responsible for the spelling error. However, the vice president’s advance staff should have caught the obvious mistake before Harris went on stage. It’s the latest example of how Harris and her staff struggle with bad optics as they try to improve her political performance on the national
Highland Park shooter Bobby Crimo was questioned by police twice in 2019 including once after threatening to 'kill everyone' and another after he threatened suicide, but was never arrested. Crimo is now in custody awaiting charges for the massacre yesterday. Police at first said he was not known to them but on Tuesday, they revealed he was interviewed twice by authorities. The first was in April 2019 a week after he threatened to kill himself. The second was in September 2019, after he threatened to 'kill everyone' in his family. Police recovered 19 knives and a dagger from his home but he was not arrested. Instead,

San Francisco Police told DailyMail.com that officers from Mission Station were called to the intersection of 24th and Harrison Streets at around 12.40am regarding a large crowd and a fire. Officers on the scene then declared the gathering an 'unlawful assembly,' and asked the crowd to disperse. But at that point, police say, the crowd became hostile and began throwing glass bottles and setting off fireworks in the direction of the officers.(Snip)Video from the scene showed a massive fire burning in the middle of the intersection at 24th and Harrison Streets

A police officer was injured, and a woman was jailed in connection with the mayhem near 2nd Street and Portland avenues, where there are numerous residential buildings, according to a police report.
Also during the overnight hours, a similar incident played out about 3 miles to the northeast, where people were aiming fireworks at buildings while street racers were doing doughnuts while spectators stood close enough to put their well-being at risk, according to a nearby resident
One of Mayor Eric Adams’ aides was robbed at gunpoint Tuesday morning while scouting a location in Brooklyn ahead of a planned visit by Hizzoner, law enforcement sources told The Post. The aide, a civilian member of Adams’ advance team, was mugged by two men who approached him near the intersection of Navy and Sands streets around 10:30 a.m., sources said. The crooks demanded his wallet and cellphone, and pushed him to the ground when he refused to hand them over, sources said. The robbers then grabbed the items and fled, with one—described as a black male wearing a blue and white sweatshirt—making his getaway on a Citi Bike

Police arrested Robert ‘Bobby’ Crimo III’, age 22, yesterday following the shooting in Highland Park, Illinois. (snip)
On Tuesday The Gateway Pundit uncovered information indicating Crimo is a radical progressive with ties to Antifa, progressive groups, and the occult. (snip) Now we have information tying Crimo to progressives, socialists, Antifa and the occult. Crimo’s social network and lifestyle are all related to the progressive movement.
Crimo has ties to the Democratic Socialists of America as noted by the tattoo on his neck. This is the largest and fastest-growing socialist organization in the US.

His social media posts appear as if he wants to kill President 47.
The uncle of Robert “Bobby” Crimo III — the person of interest in Highland Park’s 4th of July parade mass shooting — said there were no signals that his 22-year-old nephew would carry out such carnage.
“There were no signs that I saw that would make him do this,” Paul Crimo told CNN in a Monday night interview after his nephew was taken into custody in connection to the shooting.
Robert Crimo was described as a recluse by his uncle and others who knew him, including neighbors and former classmates.
Police said at a press conference announcing the arrest it is believed Robert Crimo was responsible for the hail of bullets
Former Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) was a “fascist.”
According to Dean, that made him “much scarier” than former President Donald Trump as a potential 2024 Republican presidential nominee. Guest host Jason Johnson, “You now have some Republicans who are saying, hey, look. Maybe Donald Trump shouldn’t run again. Maybe it will be a problem. Maybe, you know, him running with all these allegations and all this violence associated with him, maybe it ends up being damaging with the party.” He asked, “Do you think any of these potential allegations could influence when he will make an announcement? Or
Yesterday on July 4, Atlantic magazine published an op-ed by Senator Mitt Romney titled "America Is in Denial."
Romney began by claiming that Americans tend to be divorced from reality.
He cited examples of water being wasted on lawns and golf courses despite reservoirs drying up, and progressive politicians voting to increase government spending despite inflation and growing national debt.
After the inane generalities, Romney began inching toward his real target: Donald Trump.
Last Thursday, the Supreme Court officially ended its term after releasing final opinions on a number of cases.
But the Supreme Court still hasn't revealed who leaked the draft opinion of Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization at the beginning of May. “It’s been 63 days since the draft Dobbs opinion leaked, and the Supreme Court leaker has still not been identified.”
It’s a fairly common phenomenon, though we normally see it with adolescents and teenagers. They bite the hand that feeds them, then come back with their tails between their legs pleading for help.

The man suspected of killing six people and wounding more than a dozen others during a July 4th parade in Highland Park is a Donald Trump-supporting rapper with a seemingly-successful music career.
Robert 'Bobby' Crimo III, 22, goes by the moniker, Awake the Rapper, in his music career. According to his Spotify page, he boasts more than 16,000 listeners per month and has a net worth of $100,000.
The rap career has taken on a chilling relevance in the wake of the shooting.
Music videos posted by Crimo online last fall include a drawing of himself shooting people online, and a disturbing clip of himself throwing bullets
The White House is pushing back against her coach's claim that WNBA player Brittney Griner would be released now from her detainment in Russia if she were a straight man. Asked whether Griner—who is Black, gay and female—is facing a double standard, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre suggested Tuesday that such arguments go against President Joe Biden's many efforts on behalf of minority communities. "This is a president who has put all of the things that you just laid out—the LGBTQ community, women, people of color—he has fought for those communities throughout his career, and
Brace Yourself for the Biden Housing Bust
28 replies
For many readers, the above title will conjure up memories of the 2008 housing crash caused by the proliferation of subprime mortgages and the subsequent tsunami of defaults. But a better corollary for the coming Biden bust is the Carter crash that occurred three decades earlier. During the final two years of Carter’s term, sales of existing and new homes collapsed because the Fed was forced to raise interest rates sharply to get double-digit inflation under control. This, in turn, produced double-digit mortgage rates that priced millions of potential buyers out of the market.
Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney (D) reacted to gun violence in his city by suggesting Tuesday morning that only the police should have guns.
FOX News reports that Kenney spoke to reporters after two Philadelphia police officers were wounded by gunshots on July 4.
McKinney reflected on July 4, saying, “It was a chilled back day, beautiful weather. But we live in America where we have the Second Amendment and we have the Supreme Court of the United States telling everybody they can carry a gun wherever they want.”
Kamala Harris on Tuesday made a ‘surprise’ visit to the scene of the Highland Park, Illinois mass shooting.
22-year-old Bobby Crimo shot 30 people, 7 fatally, at a Highland Park Fourth of July parade on Monday.
Crimo was known to law enforcement before Monday’s mass shooting.
The police were at Crimo’s residence twice – once for a suicide attempt and once to remove knives because of a murder threat to his family.
