It’s a real dumpster fire. Wild video shows the back of a city Sanitation Department truck ablaze in the middle of a snow-packed Queens street Monday morning. The footage obtained by The Post captured bright-orange flames bursting from one the receptacles on the back of the DSNY truck, halfway down a residential Kew Gardens street — with heaps of dirty snow still piled up around parked cars. The fire – likely sparked by a lithium-ion battery improperly tossed in the trash, according to the DSNY – erupted around 9:40 a.m. on Kew Gardens Road near 82nd Avenue, the FDNY said.

The Bank of England was advised to create a plan for the inevitable financial chaos that will result if and when world governments disclose the existence of aliens, according to a report. Former senior financial security analyst Helen McCaw sent a letter to the UK’s central bank urging the institution to prepare for the economic impact of little green men, the Times of London reported. If such a disclosure comes from the White House, Cambridge-educated McCaw projected in her letter, the revelation send shockwaves through financial markets and the banking system — and inspire general unrest amongst Earthlings.
Demand for sex workers in Davos skyrocketed during this year’s World Economic Forum — including one client who allegedly shelled out a whopping $114,000 for four days with five women. The apparent work hard, party harder attitude of the global elite was apparent in the voracious appetite for escorts in the Swiss town, where global leaders, big tech CEOs and moneyed magnates sent requests for sex workers surging, according to the Swiss dating and erotic services platform Titt4Tat.
For a year, I worked with the homeless in New York City. Over the course of that year, I encountered more than 200 unhoused people. Only three ended up in permanent housing. Our team consisted of a social worker (me), two case managers, and a nurse. Our nurse carried Narcan. We coordinated with shelters, hospitals and city agencies.
Anti-Israel activist and former Columbia grad student Mahmoud Khalil is set to be deported to Algeria — bringing an end to a drawn-out court battle over his immigration status, federal officials said. The Syrian-born activist, who was arrested by ICE early last year, is slated to be booted from the US after the Trump administration accused him of committing fraud on his green card application. “It looks like he’ll go to Algeria. That’s what the thought is right now,” Homeland Security assistant secretary, Tricia McLaughlin, told NewsNation’s “Katie Pavlich Tonight” Wednesday.
Several emergency declarations have already been issued as a massive winter storm barrels toward more than 35 states, putting more than 200 million people in its path and threatening “considerable disruption” to New York with up to a foot of snow. Texas, North Carolina, and South Carolina were the first to issue preemptive emergency declarations after the National Weather Service warned that “nearly everyone east of the Rockies” will be affected by snow, ice, or cold from Friday into early next week. The potentially historic winter storm, dubbed Winter Storm Fern, is expected to span more than 2,000 miles

Bundle up — or else! A life-threatening Arctic blast is set to strike the eastern US in the coming days, plunging temperatures below zero and into the single digits as experts warn people to stay inside or risk hypothermia. The bone-chilling cold front is expected to peak later this week, with Chicago, parts of Michigan and upstate New York among the hardest hit, forecasters said.
The White House called California Gov. Gavin Newsom a nobody who has been “frolicking around Switzerland,” in response to claims the Trump administration shut him out of an event at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Newsom’s press office had said the White House and State Department denied the governor entry to a “fireside chat” Wednesday hosted by Fortune that the democrat was invited to speak at. The White House fired back at Newsom’s claim, saying the governor is not a priority for them, a Trump spokeswoman exclusively told The Post.
WASHINGTON — The repressive Iranian regime is likely in its “final days and weeks,” German Chancellor Friedrich Merz dramatically predicted Tuesday — as shocking images emerged of thousands killed in a bloody crackdown by Tehran. “If a regime can only keep itself in power by force, then it’s effectively at the end. I believe we are now seeing the final days and weeks of this regime,” Merz told reporters during a trip to India. “In any case, it has no legitimacy through elections in the population. The population is now rising up against this regime.”

Gov. Kathy Hochul rolled out broad strokes of a multi-billion-dollar plan Thursday to offer “free” child care for all two-year-olds in New York City, while expanding pre-K and early child care programs in the rest of the Empire State — with no tax increases, at least this year. The Big Apple already has universal Pre-K and 3K programs, and Hochul said she will partner with new Mayor Zohran Mamdani to age down and fully fund the program to cover 2-year-olds. “This is getting on a roadmap to continue what has already started in the city with four-year-olds and three-year-olds,” Hochul said on MS-NOW Thursday morning previewing the proposal.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey doubled down on his expletive-laden response to the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent, after his comments were slammed as inflammatory and divisive.,,The lefty leader, who demanded immigration officers “get the f–k out” of the city, sarcastically apologized if his language “offended their Disney princess ears.” Frey launched into a vulgar attack on the feds at a press conference Wednesday, just hours after a masked agent shot and killed the 37-year-old mother of three in her car.

free grocery store pop-up: We’re 'in pain’ 25 replies
On Sunday in a busy stretch of restaurants and boutiques in the West Village, hundreds of New Yorkers queued up outside a pop-up shop offering free groceries. "New Yorkers are in pain," Nick from Queens, New York, one of several people Fox News Digital interviewed outside the pop-up, said as he waited to grab pasta sauce, bath soap and a bag of Tide Pods.
The scene was underscored by the city's cost of living woes and anxiety over who would get a yellow ticket granting entry to the small shop before they "sold out" of goods.
Disgraced ex-Prince Andrew was arrested Thursday on suspicion of misconduct in public office for allegedly forwarding confidential trade documents to pedophile pal Jeffrey Epstein.
At least six unmarked police cars and around eight plain-clothed officers swooped on the king’s brother’s Sandringham Estate in eastern England early Thursday — Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s 66th birthday.
If convicted on the misconduct charge, the former prince faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.One officer was seen carrying a police-issued laptop after arriving at Sandringham at around 8 a.m., with the cars leaving around 30 minutes later.
Police also searched a separate property in Berkshire, the force said, without directly identifying the king’s brother, citing strict UK laws.
Democrat Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker will push for state laws that mandate Illinois communities allow building of unlimited “Section 8” and other taxpayer-subsidized apartment units on any residential lot.
Pritzker unveiled his suburban Section 8 plan during his annual State of the State address, which he gave Wednesday.
Taking aim at single family homeowners in the Chicago suburbs, Pritkzer said their “shameful” opposition to taxpayer-subsidized Section 8 apartments are responsible for driving up the cost of Illinois housing.
Community zoning laws “have made it too difficult and costly to build new (Section 8) housing,” Pritzker said, chiding suburban Illinoisans who oppose high-density, subsidized apartments as old-fashioned and behind the “times.”
The Minneapolis City Council debated the renewal of two liquor licenses on Tuesday, focusing on two hotels allegedly housing federal agents during Operation Metro Surge. In January, protesters descended on both the Depot and the Canopy hotels, believing Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were staying inside. Some protesters faced off with Minnesota state troopers after an unlawful assembly was declared. Hospitality union members spoke to the council about the license renewals, explaining that some employees from the hotels have expressed fear over ICE agents staying there. "We believe that a liquor license is a privilege and that privilege should be

A brainless traveler was arrested for allegedly ditching her 2-year-old pup at the ticket counter inside Las Vegas’ Harry Reid International Airport after she was told she couldn’t bring it on board her flight without legitimate service dog documentation.
The woman rushed into the Nevada airport around midnight Feb. 2 with her excitable goldendoodle and attempted to check her bags, but was told she couldn’t bring the dog on the plane without service dog documentation, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. [snip] The heartless pet owner stomped away from the ticket counter without so much as glancing at her dog, who watched in innocent confusion,
The UK is refusing to grant permission to the US to use British bases to strike Iran, according to The Times.
US President Donald Trump’s withdrawal of support for the UK plans to give up sovereignty over the Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean — which includes the key Diego Garcia airfield — stems from the British refusal, reports the UK paper.
According to the report, US plans included the use of Diego Garcia and the RAF Fairford base in England, both of which can only be used to strike if the UK government agrees. British PM Keir Starmer is concerned the Iran strike might violate international law.
Every few months, another viral outrage story explodes across social media, and the script is almost always the same.A shocking claim, a “racist” angle, followed by a flood of headlines, a GoFundMe that fills up overnight, and before anyone has time to sort out what actually happened, the accused is already branded for life.
The facts usually catch up later, and we discover the whole thing was a hoax. But the damage to the victim is already done.
"Late Night” host Stephen Colbert must have thought he had a three-fer with his “canceled” James Talarico interview. He could blame Donald Trump for censoring an opposing voice, get his name in the headlines before his show is (mercifully) canceled, and boost the prospects of his favorite Texas Senate candidate.
But almost immediately, his ruse fell apart.
Colbert told his audience that he’d planned to interview James Talarico – one of three Democrats competing in the primaries to run for senator in Texas – but CBS forced him to pull the interview.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) revealed at a townhall meeting on Wednesday that Democrats don’t just want to abolish the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), but they are actually planning how to dismantle the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) entirely.
“What I will say is that there is an easier conversation happening today than six, seven years ago when I got to Congress, about what we need to do with ICE, which is to abolish it,” Omar told her audience during the townhall meeting. The Democrat congresswoman further revealed, “There is a lot of conversation about what the dismantlement of the Department of Homeland Security should look like.”
The Democrat party ignored Christians but highlighted Muslim and Chinese traditions in recent social media posts.
Breitbart News reviewed the party’s Facebook, Instagram, and X profiles but did not find any references to Ash Wednesday, which was February 18.
Instead, the leftist political party highlighted Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar in which Muslims participate in fasting, according to Britannica.
“We wish a reflective and peaceful Ramadan to all who observe. Ramadan Mubarak!” the Democrat Party wrote on X. In regard to the Lunar New Year, which is celebrated by the Chinese, the party said,

In 2000 "climate scientists" predicted The End Of Snow in fifteen years. Maybe those "scientists" should have to face the families of those killed in the massive avalanche - - and repeat their predictions to them.
