NYPD’s $400K-a-year top earner Quathisha
Epps is retiring early as astronomical
overtime pay is investigated: sources
Posted By: Mercedes44, 12/19/2024 6:59:39 AM
The NYPD’s highest-paid employee — who shoveled in more than $400,000 last year — filed for retirement this week and then was suspended amid an internal affairs probe into her astronomical overtime, The Post has learned. Lt. Quathisha Epps will retire just shy of 20 years with the department, sources said — an early exit that will impact her pension and cost her a $12,000-a-year supplement for cops who reach the two-decade mark. Leaving money on the table is seemingly uncharacteristic for Epps, who raised eyebrows by pulling in roughly $204,000 in overtime last year for her administrative job in NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey’s office, payroll records show.

Gov. Hochul boasts about her social-justice record but she is presiding over the alleged rip-off of a safety-net hospital in Nassau County that serves the poorest of the poor.
The Nassau University Medical Center is suing New York for $1.06 billion it claims the state has defrauded from its coffers over the past two decades.
As the only public hospital in the county, 80% of its 275,000 patients are low income, uninsured, as well as on Medicare and Medicaid.
It includes a nursing home and jail infirmary, Long Island’s only burn unit and its largest inpatient psychiatric treatment center.
On Nov. 5, Americans spoke loud and clear: They wanted an end to the bloated bureaucracy and a halt to the reckless, unchecked spending that’s drained the coffers of our republic. And what did they get? A Republican victory. Now it’s time for House Republicans to start acting like they won.
Late Tuesday evening, congressional leaders released their 1,547-page monstrosity of a spending bill — a so-called “continuing resolution” that purports to fund the government through March of 2025. It’s business as usual in Washington despite the November mandate.

Congress’s latest spending scam is not receiving the glowing reviews weak-kneed Speaker Mike Johnson was hoping for.
On Tuesday evening, congressional leaders released the text of a 1,547-page omnibus package designed to fund the federal government through March 2025. Like those that have come before it, the bill is stacked with pork provisions championed by the D.C. establishment and loathed by everyday Americans. Among the worst included in the end-of-year spending spree are provisions extending the State Department’s censorship-loving Global Engagement Center, opening the door for congressional members to receive a pay raise, and allowing members of Congress to opt out of Obamacare.
I thought it was just me, but it transpires there are fewer Christmas decorations in Hong Kong this year than in previous years. A colleague confirmed, under orders from China, Hong Kong had been instructed to tone down the outward manifestations of the Christmas festivities this year.
I often find myself in Hong Kong in the run up to Christmas and in years gone past, the Christmas light show on both sides of the harbour, but especially on the island side has been dazzling.
Gen Z: You Have Your Own Ronald Reagan!

Dear Gen Z,
The 2024 election of Donald J. Trump will be a defining moment in your lifetime.
In 1984, as a 20-year-old first-time voter and newly naturalized citizen, I was elated by the landslide victory of Ronald Reagan. Not knowing the significance of this at the time, in retrospect it is clear: Ronald Reagan’s presidency was a defining moment in my President Reagan told us that hard work and ingenuity and limited government begets prosperity and peace and freedom – and spreads the hope across the world that freedom, both economic and personal, is obtainable for all.

Joe Biden will finally be going off into the sunset on Jan. 20 after more than 50 years occupying public office.
He managed to completely finish off his reputation over the past few years and is leaving having fully earned the title of the worst person to occupy the Oval Office in the last 50 years. Jill Biden will be out the door with him and a lot of this failure is on her head for having him stay in long after he should have retired. She even ridiculously wanted him to run again. How power-hungry can you be?
Dec. 6 was a historic day. It was the first time since July 2015 -- since Donald Trump entered presidential politics -- that more Americans have said they have a favorable impression of Trump than an unfavorable one. All that time, from Trump's first Republican primary campaign to the 2016 general election to his years as president to his defeat in 2020 to his post-presidential years to his comeback in 2024 -- in all that time, Trump has been underwater in the RealClearPolitics average of polls measuring favorability and unfavorability. Now, for the first time, he's above the water, in positive poll territory.
Russia’s security service said Wednesday that it has detained a suspect in the killing of a senior general in Moscow.
The suspect was described as an Uzbek citizen recruited by Ukrainian intelligence services.
Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov was killed Tuesday by a bomb hidden in a scooter outside his apartment building in Moscow, a day after Ukraine’s security service leveled criminal charges against him. His assistant also died in the attack. A Ukrainian official said the service carried out the attack.
Russia’s Federal Security Service, or FSB, didn’t name the suspect, but said he was born in 1995.
South Africa... has an active and influential Muslim sector supportive of Hamas and Palestinian land claims. Coupled to its pathetic intelligence services, and its lamentable military and police forces, South Africa is ill-equipped to counter Islamist infiltration from neighboring regions or its growing internal extremist movements.
Apart from succeeding in overcoming Apartheid, all that the ANC and allies have put their minds to since, ends in dismal failure. Every state-owned enterprise is broke and/or dysfunctional.... The same applies to government departments....
Why on earth are we hearing more expressions of empathy for Luigi Mangione, alleged assassin of United Healthcare CEO, Brian Thompson, than for his young children left Fatherless?
The latest news uncovered about Mr. Mangione is that he was not a subscriber to United Healthcare, so he hadn't suffered any personal grievance from the company. What United Healthcare probably represented to the killer is unbridled hatred of giant corporations instilled by Ivy league academics to the vacant minds of privileged students.
If they have any instinct for self-preservation, Iran and Hamas should be monitoring President-elect Donald Trump’s communications very closely these days.
A couple of weeks ago, there was the Truth Social post promising “ALL HELL TO PAY” if Hamas didn’t release its hostages by Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20.
“Those responsible,” Trump noted, “will be hit harder than anybody has been hit in the long and storied History of the United States of America.”
He followed up during a press conference Monday.
When asked what he meant by his prior threat, Trump left it menacingly vague. “Well,” he said, referring to our adversaries, “they’re going to have to determine what that means,

America’s greatest presidents were sometimes treated like punching bags in office — insulted and vilified by opponents. President Biden has endured the same undeserved treatment. But I expect that, like other great presidents, history will judge him more accurately.
Biden has been a historically transformative president. His landmark domestic accomplishments are comparable to Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal and Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society.
A 2023 survey of 154 political scientists and other presidential experts ranked Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt and George Washington as America’s three greatest presidents, in that order. Biden ranked No. 14. Donald Trump, who will become president again
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton claimed that Republicans were “taking orders from the world’s richest man,” Elon Musk, regarding a failed continuing resolution (CR).
In a post on X, Clinton accused Republicans of being “on course to shut down the government over the holidays.” “If you’re just catching up: the Republican Party, taking orders from the world’s richest man, is on course to shut down the government over the holidays, stopping paychecks for our troops and nutrition benefits for low-income families just in time for Christmas,” Clinton wrote in her post.
For 4 Years, America Had No President

The Wall Street Journal has an article delving into the efforts to cover up Biden’s mental state. But the article raises as many questions as it answers. I won’t dwell on the umpteenth revelations that Biden had bad days, that he had trouble remembering lines or figuring out where he was supposed to go.
While preparing last year for his interview with Robert K. Hur, the special counsel who investigated Biden’s handling of classified documents, the president couldn’t recall lines that his team discussed with him. At events, aides often repeated instructions to him, such as where to enter or exit a stage, that would be obvious to the average person…
The NYPD’s highest-ranking uniformed officer abruptly resigned late Friday night after The Post uncovered explosive allegations that he demanded sexual favors from a subordinate in exchange for massive amounts of overtime.
Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey stepped down soon after The Post contacted the NYPD about Lt. Quathisha Epps’ claims in an exclusive interview that he routinely preyed upon her, asking for sex in NYPD headquarters.
“He wanted to have anal sex, vaginal sex, oral sex,” Epps said. “He was always asking me to kiss his penis.”
CBS News’ Lesley Stahl is having a bit of heartburn after the 2024 election. Donald Trump is coming back. The GOP retained control of Congress. The media establishment was once again skinned alive by the tens of millions of Americans who rightly rejected, ignored, or outright dismissed their shoddy narratives against Trump and the ones manufactured to prop up Vice President Kamala Harris. So, it’s somewhat laughable that she fears legacy media is dead.
Stahl and The Wall Street Journal’s Peggy Noonan spoke about the latter’s latest book at the 92NY Center’s Recanati-Kaplan Talks in late November. Stahl relayed a
Republicans scored a significant victory after successfully passing a spending bill on Friday to avert a looming government shutdown with just 12 hours to spare. The new 118-page bill, which overcame partisan tensions, reflects a strategic win for GOP lawmakers after 38 Republicans voted against the Trump-backed bill on Thursday. After negotiating, lawmakers agreed to trim the funding bill to just under 600 pages after the initial draft was more than 1,300 pages and included unnecessary spending, such as a pay increase for Congress members.
Sears has closed its final store in Washington, leaving it operating in only four states across the US.
The department store, which was once the largest in the country, closed an outlet in the Southcenter Mall in Tukwila, Washington, on December 15.
In the weeks leading up to its closure, the store, which had been there for three decades, hosted discount sales for shoppers. Its closure means that Sears only has eight stores remaining across California, Florida, Massachusetts and Texas.
Locals expressed their sadness at the store closing its doors.

The Vice President’s office said Harris would not travel to California on Thursday as planned and would instead remain in the capital. [Snip] The sudden jettisoning of Harris’ holiday prompted widespread speculation on social media that Biden could be in poor health. Her announcement came hours after a bombshell Wall Street Journal investigation exposed how frail the president has been throughout the last four years. [Snip] Harris staying in Washington is likely due to the uncertainty of whether the House of Representatives can pass a stopgap continuing resolution bill to fund the government.
A Maryland woman dubbed the "Black Widow" for murdering two husbands and a boyfriend for insurance money is now free after President Joe Biden commuted her 40-year prison sentence, undercutting the White House's claim that Biden released only "non-violent" offenders in a clemency bonanza last week.
Among the 1,500 federal convicts granted clemency was Josephine Virginia Gray, who was sentenced to 40 years in prison in 2002 for insurance fraud schemes connected to the murders of three men between 1974 and 1996. Gray was resentenced to the same amount of time again in 2006 following a series of appeals.
The current state of the United States Congress is nowhere near what the Founding Fathers had in mind. [snip] The newspaper discovered that Rep. Granger was now the resident of a local memory care and assisted living home and had been for some time after she was found confused and wandering around her neighborhood. Assistant Executive Director for the memory care/assisted living home, Taylor Manzeil, confirmed that Granger was a resident, saying, "This is her home."
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre faced tough questions from reporters on Friday regarding outgoing President Joe Biden’s noticeable absence during his final days in office, despite numerous pressing issues unfolding in Washington. This comes amid speculation that Biden is “quiet quitting” and failing to lead his party to the finish line.
The press briefing opened with a question on the minds of many Americans wondering where Biden has been amid the ongoing spending bill battle that needs to be passed in order to avoid a government shutdown.
Departing President Joe Biden’s administration is nothing if not busy as desks are cleaned out and preparations for final departure made. On Friday it announced federal student loans for another 55,000 workers will be canceled through an existing program known as Public Service Loan Forgiveness.
Biden has now canceled an unprecedented $180 billion in federal student loans through existing programs during his term in office, covering 4.9 million Americans. The total cost for Biden’s latest act of Christmas charity will come in at $4.28 billion, courtesy of U.S. taxpayers, the bulk of whom previously questioned just how fair such acts are when workers are left to fund the munificence.
