Dr. Jay Varma, New York City's former senior health advisor, admitted he ignored the COVID-19 policies he insisted New Yorkers follow during the pandemic. A New York City Council member wants Varma investigated after he said he attended sex parties and a dance party at the height of the outbreak, even as he told New Yorkers to stay away from others to stop the spread of coronavirus. Varma's admission came after a heavily edited video surfaced. While Varma wanted New Yorkers to be strict about social distancing, he's now admitting that he wasn't. The mea culpa came after he was caught on hidden video posted by conservative podcaster Steven Crowder.

On my office wall hangs a poster, "Murphy's Laws of Combat," a list of items that most veterans (and many non-veterans) are familiar with. This poster has graced a wall near my desk in every office I have inhabited since I was a young Second Lieutenant. While these laws are many and varied, one of Murphy's bits of wisdom has broad application in all manner of human endeavor: "If it's stupid but works, it's not stupid."
Which brings us, unsurprisingly, to San Francisco. That city has among its myriad problems an issue of drivers speeding through marked crosswalks. [snip] San Francisco police officers are dressing up as chickens.

Police found explosives in car on Long Island on Wednesday near former President Donald Trump’s rally scheduled for Wednesday evening, according to a report.
One America News Network journalist James Lalino posted on X: Sources in the Nassau County Police Department just told me that “the perimeter was breached and a blue barrel was removed” from the area surrounding tonight’s Trump rally site.
Source said “During K9, doing their checks, they found an explosive device in one of the vehicles and that driver ended up running into the woods. No one saw if he had anything on him,
You always hear it after a bear or lion eats a person – they say they have to kill the animal because it now has a taste for humans and won’t stop. This always struck me as odd, even funny, as though we humans are so delicious that one taste of us is so euphoric that they couldn’t possibly go back to salmon, elk or whatever.
That is, of course, not really the reason the animals have changed, the story goes. It’s that the fear of humans – their desire to avoid us because we’re strange to them – is gone, and now they will associate us with food.
The New York Fire Department’s new chief’s ties to China are coming to light against the backdrop of a federal investigation into foreign influence on the city’s officials.
FDNY Commissioner Robert Tucker was previously head of a private security firm where one of the clients was a billionaire who once admitted to feds he worked for Chinese intelligence, according to reports.
While in that role, Tucker also approved an email putting forward ex-golf club hospitality worker Lin Gui’an for a top position in the New York Police Department, which he eventually got. Lin’s links to the Chinese Communist Party were exposed by The Post last week.
The California chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is objecting to a proposal by the L.A. City Council to bar anti-Israel protesters from the entrances to synagogues.
The proposal is a response to a rise in antisemitism in the city associated with anti-Israel protests, especially several incidents in June in which pro-Palestinian activists targeted local synagogues, obstructing entrances in one case.
City Council members Katy Yaroslavsky and Bob Blumenfield demanded action in June, calling for more resources for safety. They are the authors of the new proposal, which would require an eight-foot “bubble zone” around synagogues and other religious institutions.
More than 300 non-citizens in Oregon eligible to apply for driver’s licenses were also mistakenly registered to vote, officials admitted this week in what they chalked up to be a “data entry issue.”
In an initial analysis, the Oregon Department of Transportation found that 306 non-citizens statewide were registered to vote and two have cast ballots in elections since 2021, according to reports.
It is illegal for for a non-citizen to cast a ballot in a federal election. Officials expect to find more instances of the error as they continue to investigate, DMV Administrator Amy Joyce told The Oregonian on Friday.
“It’s basically a data entry issue,” said Kevin Glenn, spokesperson
The Democrats are always prattling on about the supposed “threat to democracy” that Donald Trump and the GOP pose, yet time after time, it’s they themselves who are constantly undermining the Constitution with their attacks on the Supreme Court and their attempts to "reform it," their endless assaults on free speech, and, of course, their stated goal to nuke the electoral college.
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), who disgraced himself by spitting on the Constitution by serving as the lead House manager in Trump’s second silly impeachment trial, is the latest Dem to deliver unhinged remarks on this
Vice President Kamala Harris, during her second interview on Friday since joining the race, undermined her record in the Biden-Harris administration by stating the administration’s policies are not fit for the “twenty-first century.”
Harris faces a conundrum: She cannot campaign on policies to fix crime, inflation, and border security without undermining the Biden-Harris administration’s policies, but she must tout the administration’s policies to validate her record and candidacy.
Speaking with Brian Taff of Philadelphia’s Action News 6 ABC, as the Harris campaign promised she would Thursday after she was slammed for failing to answer questions during Tuesday’s debate, Harris suggested she has a fresh “approach” with “new ideas” for the “current moment.”
NASA has shared a poignant letter from the only American not on Earth when 9/11 happened.
Space Station astronaut Frank Culbertson penned his thoughts in the hours and days after the terrorist attack on New York’s Twin Towers.
He also captured the scene on camera from 250 miles up, with a chilling image showing a smoke plume rising from the Manhattan area.
NASA astronaut Frank Culbertson was in the International Space Station during the 9/11 terror attacks.
The space agency said on Tuesday: “The following is the text of a letter from Expedition Three Commander Frank L. Culbertson (Captain, USN Retired), reflecting on the events of September 11.”
A top aide to embattled New York Police Department Commissioner Edward Caban is associated with shadowy groups that do the bidding of the Chinese Communist Party, The Post has learned.
Lin Gui’an, 49, the assistant director of the Police Commissioner Liaison Unit, was previously vice chairman of a nonprofit linked to a web of CCP-controlled community groups and school associations, known as United Front, for 12 years, according to records viewed by The Post.
He has also been pictured attending events alongside prominent members of United Front groups or sponsored by them.
Here’s a truth: it’s been hot in Southern California this month. Very hot.
Here’s another truth: it’s always hot in Southern California in September. This heat wave may be bigger than some, but it’s not unexpected or a stunning surprise.
But if you went to catch a show featuring “Vance Joy, Grouplove and Tiny Habit” Sunday night (admittedly I have no idea who those acts are), you were disappointed—because the legendary Hollywood Bowl went dark due to a power outage. The Bowl has hosted numerous iconic musical acts over the decades, including most famously, the Beatles in 1964.

Shocking new details were released by Republicans on the House Oversight Committee on Friday of US military brass ignoring President Trump’s request for security on January 6th.
President Trump knew there would be a massive crowd of Americans at the planned rallies outside the US Capitol and at the Ellipse that day. So, Trump ordered the National Guard to be deployed to the US Capitol prior to the planned protests on January 6.
The newly surfaced transcripts, which were previously concealed, reveal the truth that many in the mainstream media have ignored.
As Democrats revel in Vice President Harris closing the polling gap against former President Trump, speculation is ramping up over who might serve in a potential Harris Cabinet if she prevails in November.
Any Cabinet appointee would likely face a razor-thin Democratic-controlled or GOP-controlled Senate, meaning Harris would have to balance partisan realities with her desire to break the mold with her choices, like naming the first woman to head the Pentagon.“I’m sure it will be very diverse. I think it will be a mix of people who have been around Washington for a while in these kinds of roles because she respects that,

Officials' Release Letter Endorsing Kamala Harris 19 replies
Of all the things that Kamala Harris is unfit to do, of all the duties she should never be entrusted with, commander-in-chief of the American armed forces and the national intelligence apparatus has to be at the top of the list. That is not, however, preventing over 700 "national security officials" from endorsing her in her POTUS run. That's an endorsement that is almost as chilling as her endorsement by the tax collectors union.
This endorsement from "national security officials" reads like it was written on Opposite Day:
More than 700 high-ranking national security officials have endorsed Democratic candidate Vice President Harris
A very curious image has been making the rounds on social media for a few days now and it’s raising some serious questions about who is really in charge of the country right now.
It’s a picture of one of Joe Biden’s official legislation folders and it includes not only Joe Biden’s signature, but also Jill Biden’s. Why does her signature appear here? No one elected her to anything.
Just this week, people across the country were shocked to see Jill Biden sitting at the head of the table at a Joe Biden cabinet meeting, now this.
Conservative Twitter/X user Comfortably Smug posted the image:

The incident happened shortly after 11 p.m., Officer Truman Fitzgerald told the outlet.
Liz Cheney continues to linger in the public eye after she was run out of Congress by Republican voters and is now calling for a new “conservative” party to counter the America-first influence of Donald J. Trump in the GOP.
The disgraced former congresswoman appeared at the Capital Times Idea Fest in Madison, Wisconsin where she sat down for an interview with Peter Baker of the New York Times, airing her grievances with the former president and suggesting that it’s time for the neocons and Never Trumpers to pick up their toys and go elsewhere.
Cheney told Baker – who is also an MSNBC analyst –
The Secret Service in America not only failed to protect President Trump from nearly getting assassinated on two occasions, but it’s so discombobulated that agents are now shooting themselves.
WUSA 9 revealed today that a United States Secret Service (USSS) agent was on duty Saturday evening right before 8 p.m. when he “negligently” discharged his weapon and shot himself. The incident reportedly happened near 32nd and Fessenden Streets in northwest Washington, DC.
He was taken to a local hospital for treatment and is expected to recover from his injuries. The Secret Service is not making any further details public at this time as they plan to investigate what happened.
An Indian hospitality technology firm is set to buy Motel 6, the motel chain's parent company announced Friday. In a press release, Blackstone Real Estate said that it came to terms with Oravel Stays to take over G6 Hospitality, the umbrella brand that includes Motel 6 and Studio 6, in a $525 million transaction for the budget lodging chain. Based in Gurgaon in northern India, Oravel Stays operates hotels under the OYO brand, and says that the G6 companies will remain separate.

Media titan Barry Diller wants to see former President Donald Trump “pushed into the dust heap of history” come November, claiming a Kamala Harris presidency would be “extraordinarily healthy” for America.
Speaking at a recent business summit in West Hollywood, Diller — the mogul who runs the left-wing Daily Beast, among many other media properties — glossed over the many failures of the Biden-Harris administration, including record consumer prices, an unprecedented tidal wave of illegal immigrants, and the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.
None of that appears to matter to Diller. What does matter is getting rid of Trump.
Vice President Kamala Harris has decided to dodge former president Trump and skip this year’s Al Smith Dinner — a major election year event that generations of candidates have attended — becoming the first presidential hopeful to duck out since failed presidential wannabe Walter Mondale in 1984.
While Trump has agreed to go to the 79th iteration of the Archdiocese of New York’s dinner on Oct. 17, Harris’s camp says she will instead campaign in key battleground states on the final stretch before election day, her campaign told The Post.
A gas explosion in a coalmine in Iran’s South Khorasan province has killed at least 51 people and injured 20, Iran’s state media said.
The accident was caused by a methane gas explosion in two blocks, B and C, of the mine run by the Madanjoo company, state media said on Sunday.
The governor of South Khorasan province, Ali Akbar Rahimi, told state TV: “Seventy-six per cent of the country’s coal is provided from this region and around eight to 10 big companies are working in the region, including Madanjoo company.”
A very simple ballot counting rule was affirmed by the Georgia election board on Friday in a 3-2 vote.
The “hand count” ballot rule (183-1:12) is very basic and simple. Essentially it says all the paper ballots must be hand counted and matched to the number of people recorded electronically to the vote. Example, if 1,000 votes are electronically counted, there should be 1,000 physical ballots to match. This is not complicated and will not take much time.
The ballots are not being checked for voting accuracy, or vote recording/candidate specifics.

Varma said he was 'targeted' by the right-wing.
