Sandra Pippa woke in a panic in the middle of the night six years ago — anxious her son still wasn’t home from celebrating his 29th birthday. “Oh please don’t be mad at me for being late. I’m on the train. I’m coming home,” Pippa recalled her son, Dorian, responding to her frantic 4:30 a.m. text. “And then, he didn’t… He never did make it,” she told The Post recently. “It’s as if I knew.” Dorian died moments after the exchange — found in the bathroom of a Metro-North train by NYPD officers — having taken a small but fatal dose of fentanyl that was cut into another drug without his knowledge.

Barbara Walters died last week at 93, but the legendary journalist’s legacy lives on: “The View,” the daytime-TV talker she created in 1997, is the most-watched — and most-talked-about — show in its genre.
Some legacy, though: What Walters envisioned as “women of different generations, backgrounds and views” discussing “the topics of the day, mixing humor with intelligent debate,” devolved after she departed as co-host in 2014 into a four-against-one daily catfight with few laughs and even fewer smarts.
The New York Times calls it “the most important political TV show in America.” If so, America is in trouble — because “The View” is the biggest source of misinformation in the country.
In the most predictable breaking news possible, on Wednesday evening CNN host Erin Burnett announced on her eponymous program Erin Burnett OutFront that former anti-Trump Republican and Pelosi picked January 6 committee member Adam Kinzinger has been hired as a "senior political commentator" on the network. This of course makes perfect sense because other than our friend Scott Jennings, Adam Kinzinger is the only type of "Republican" voice allowed on CNN. No real conservative viewpoint is welcomed.

Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH) nominated Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) for the speakership Wednesday on the fifth speakership ballot, after the fourth did not produce a victor.
Davidson highlighted a laundry list of concessions that McCarthy promised many Republicans who have repeatedly voted against him, and he urged those members to rally behind the California representative.
“We’re on the precipice of such a destructive argument today. I plead with all, all of my Republican colleagues, let cooler, more rational heads prevail. Let us unite as Republicans to elect the next speaker of the House,” said Davidson.
He then asserted that 20 of his colleagues, many of whom are part of
First Lady Jill Biden is set to have a procedure to have a 'small lesion' above her right eye removed.
The lesion was discovered by Dr. Kevin O'Connor, Physician to the President, during a 'routine skin cancer screening.'
Vanessa Valdivia, the First Lady's Press Secretary, confirmed the news that Biden, 71, would undergo the removal, the second time she's gone under the knife as first lady after having a puncture wound cleaned out in July of last year.
The procedure, known as 'Mohs surgery,' will take place on January 11, according to O'Connor.
While an array of pundits on the right pounced on the nearly two dozen Republicans who stood against electing California Rep. Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House to open the 118th Congress, Fox News host Tucker Carlson not only saw the positive but proposed a path to consensus through absolute transparency pertaining to January 6. “First, release the January 6 files–not some of the January 6 files and video,” Carlson proposed, “all of it.” (Video) Through three consecutive votes on the floor of the House, McCarthy failed to obtain the needed majority to be elected speaker,CORRECTION*
Marxist Cori Bush is one of the latest members of the America-hating Democrat Squad serving in Congress.
Bush made a name for herself during the Ferguson riots when leftist protesters looted and burned down the Ferguson business district not once but twice in 2014.
The media loved her. Business owners feared and hated her and the criminals she ran with.
Cori Bush also pushed the Democrat Party’s Defund the Police campaign but pays $200,000 a year for her own personal security.
Wannabe artist Hunter Biden has continued to brush aside awkward questions about who exactly is ponying up $500,000 for his novice paintings - especially as his dubious business dealings with foreign adversaries keep coming back to haunt him.
But that could change in a stroke thanks to the First Son's brazen bid to pay less child support for his four-year-old lovechild, Navy Joan Roberts, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.
Hunter, 52, has asked an Arkansas judge to recalculate the money he hands Navy Joan's mom, Lunden Roberts, each month, citing a 'substantial material change' in his personal finances.
Rep. Lauren Boebert said her 'favorite president' Donald Trump should call GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy and tell him 'it's time to withdraw' after the House failed to make the California Republican its Speaker after four rounds of voting.
The Colorado Republican noted that Trump had been calling McCarthy's opposition and telling them to change their vote.
'I think it actually needs to be reversed. The president needs to tell Kevin McCarthy that, sir, you do not have the votes and it's time to withdraw,' she said at the start of the fifth vote.
A group of 20 Republicans voted for Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) on the second day of voting for House speaker, denying House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) the gavel in the fourth ballot.
Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) nominated Donalds when the House came back in session at noon Wednesday.
“For the first time in history, there have been two black Americans placed into the nomination for speaker,” Roy said to a round of applause. He was also referring to the Democratic nominee, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY).
Twitter deliberately exaggerated the extent of Russian influence on its platform in an attempt to appease the media and Democrats, even after internal investigations into the matter proved a “dud,” according to journalist Matt Taibbi, who released another batch of the Twitter Files today.
Twitter initially tried to stay out of the spotlight on the Russia issue in 2017, hoping Facebook would remain the main target of scrutiny from the media and Democrats. Twitter’s PR department even agreed on a media strategy to “keep the focus on FB.” (Tweet)
Breaking: Kevin McCarthy fails to win Speaker in 4th vote! (Photo) On Tuesday, Trump endorsed Kevin McCarthy failed three times to win the vote for US Speaker of the House. It was the first time in 100 years that Speakership was not decided in the first vote.
Kevin McCarthy lost the third vote for House Speaker on Tuesday afternoon, with 20 Republicans voting for Rep. Jim Jordan.
The winning Republican can only afford to lose four votes! He must reach 218 votes to win the Speakership. And the GOP holds a narrow 222 to 212 majority in the chamber.
Kevin McCarthy dissenters are unfazed by former President Donald Trump's warning that standing in the way of the California Republican's speaker bid will cause the GOP an 'embarrassing defeat.'
'Sad!' Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., told DailyMail.com of Trump weighing in on the House Speaker's race.
'This changes neither my view of McCarthy nor Trump nor my vote,' he added.
Gaetz tweeted Monday that 'Supporting McCarthy is the worst Human Resources decision President Trump has ever made.'
In the first two rounds of voting on Monday 19 Republicans voted for a candidate other than GOP Leader McCarthy for speaker. In the third round, 20 did so,

San Francisco is bracing for another catastrophic storm that will be the 'most impactful' yet after it was deluged with massive flooding and mudslides last week.

House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy signaled he was done negotiating with his detractors in an effort to win the speakership during a tense closed-door meeting on Tuesday morning, according to a new report.
Several House Republicans doubled down on their promises to oppose McCarthy’s bid after the meeting, which was held ahead of what is expected to be a lengthy vote for the speakership. As many as 20 House Republicans may oppose McCarthy’s bid, according to reports. The California Republican will need 218 votes if every current member votes for a candidate by name — a difficult task with the party’s razor-thin majority in the House.

“One final thought that I wanted to leave with you is my belief that the House Democratic Caucus is the greatest collection of intellect, integrity and imagination assembled for the good of the American people,” she wrote in her final to her colleagues on both sides of the aisle on Monday evening.
