A video posted by the FDNY shockingly reveals how a charging lithium-ion battery sparked a raging fire in a Queens e-bike shop this month. The video, from King Electronic Hub in Richmond Hill, shows a charging lithium-ion battery surrounded by scooters and boxes shooting up a thick cloud of gray smoke, followed by sparks, according to a clip posted on X by FDNY. “It only took two and a half minutes for this exploding lithium-ion battery to fully engulf this e-bike shop in fire,” the text accompanying the video warns. “When we tell you illegal lithium-ion batteries can be dangerous, WE MEAN IT,” the caption reads

Canada has delayed the extension of its assisted suicide program to people suffering solely from mental illness, health officials announced Monday. Canada offers medically assisted death to terminally and chronically ill people, but the plan to extend the program to people with mental illnesses has divided Canadians, the New York Times reported. Some critics attribute the problem to a lack of adequate psychiatric care in the country.
Ten middle schoolers were arrested for allegedly assaulting a Coney Island classmate in a brutal, caught-on-video bus beatdown. The victim — who one fellow student later callously declared “deserved it” and “shoulda died” — could be heard shrieking in pain as a pack of kids collectively rained punches on him in the Jan. 26 incident, footage shared with The Post and posted on social media show. The boy can be seen trying to protect his head from the relentless fists while he’s passed down the aisle by his attackers on an MTA shuttle bus
Stacey Abrams' liberal voting rights group Fair Fight is laying off most of its staffers and reducing its operations in response to increasing legal debts. Lauren Groh-Wargo, who led the group until she stepped down to run Abrams' second unsuccessful Georgia gubernatorial run in 2022, said she would return to the organization as interim chief executive to direct the cuts, The New York Times reported Tuesday. Fair Fight is laying off 75% of its current staffers, or 20 employees, per Groh-Wargo, as the group is $2.5 million in debt with $1.9 million cash on hand even after raising about $100 million from 2018 to 2021.

Is humanity doomed? The annual update of the Doomsday Clock was announced at 10 a.m. this morning in Washington, DC. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists announced that the Doomsday Clock this year was set to 90 seconds to midnight — for the second year in a row. The Doomsday Clock statement reads: “Ominous trends continue to point the world toward global catastrophe. The war in Ukraine and the widespread and growing reliance on nuclear weapons increase the risk of nuclear escalation. China, Russia, and the United States are all spending huge sums to expand or modernize their nuclear arsenals

Memphis residents were urged to boil water and New Yorkers have been warned that roads could be covered with dangerous black ice this weekend as brutal cold and inclement weather continue to sweep across parts of the US. Bitterly frigid air spilled into the Midwest from Canada on Friday and several states were under advisories as forecasters warned that wind chills dipping to minus 30 degrees Fahrenheit could be common through Sunday morning. Heavier-than-forecast snow fell in New York City, Baltimore and Washington, D.C., on Friday. Storms have walloped the Pacific Northwest, Midwest, Plains, South and Northeast

It might be time to stop flying those friendly skies, America: The FAA has gone all-in on DEI. The agency charged with overseeing airlines, plane makers, airports, and every other aspect of civil aviation in America has undertaken a diversity push meant to bring in workers whose inborn limitations make them plainly unsuitable for high-stakes, high-pressure roles. The full list of disabilities targeted “for special emphasis in recruitment and hiring” includes “severe intellectual disability,” “psychiatric disability” and a whole host of other ailments. You read that right: The severely intellectually disabled and the psychiatrically disabled (that’s a euphemism for crazy) will now be involved

A dangerous Arctic blast continued sweeping across the US Monday, bringing below-freezing temperatures to more than three-quarters of the country and leaving at least four people dead – including a woman in Oregon who was killed when a tree toppled onto her RV. The bone-chilling cold was expected to set record-low temperatures Monday and Tuesday from Oregon to Mississippi — about 79% of the country — and threaten an NFL playoff game and the Iowa caucuses. Lashing winds and a slushy-like mix of snow and ice brought down some 100 trees over the weekend in a community just south of Portland, Oregon
COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Denmark’s prime minister proclaimed Frederik X, 55, as king on Sunday after his mother Queen Margrethe II formally signed her abdication, with massive crowds turning out to rejoice in the throne passing from a beloved monarch to her popular son. Margrethe, 83, is the first Danish monarch to voluntarily relinquish the throne in nearly 900 years. Many thousands of people gathered outside the palace where the royal succession was taking place, the mood jubilant as the Nordic nation experienced its first royal succession in more than a half-century, and one not caused by the death of a monarch.
The Gateway project to build two new badly needed tunnels for trains under the Hudson River is already running two years behind schedule — even though it just broke ground, a federal audit shows. Officials at the Gateway Development Commission have publicly stated that by 2038 they will have finished digging and constructing the new tunnels and then rehabilitate the two existing trans-Hudson tubes, which were badly damaged by Superstorm Sandy. However, the audit performed for the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Transit Administration shows the work will likely take until 2040.
Migrant students at Floyd Bennett Field

missing class over long bus rides to school, illnesses 20 replies
No-show bus rides, fatigue, and illnesses are making it hard for some migrants housed in Floyd Bennett Field tents to send their children to school, parents told The Post. During school hours this week, The Post observed at least 15 children skipping class outside the city’s controversial mega-tent shelter in southeast Brooklyn, where roughly 1,900 migrants are housed. Despite the city forking over $625,000 this year for buses to take students from the isolated national park to a subway stop, parents blamed missing shuttles for their kids losing out on class time.

drone, missile attack after US warned

Yemen’s Houthi rebels fired their largest-ever barrage of drones and missiles targeting shipping in the Red Sea, forcing the United States and British navies to shoot down the projectiles in a major naval engagement, authorities said Wednesday. No damage was immediately reported. The attack by the Iranian-backed Houthis came despite a planned United Nations Security Council vote later Wednesday to potentially condemn and demand an immediate halt to the attacks by the rebels, who say their assaults are aimed at stopping Israel’s war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

Migrants housed in one of New York City's hotels will receive pre-paid cards with which to buy food and baby supplies, instead of the city providing meals the migrants often did not want.
Eric Adams, the mayor of New York, estimated the scheme will save the city $600,000 a month, or $7.2 million annually.
The pilot program is being rolled out at the Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan, with 500 families involved, The New York Post reported. They will be given cards which can be only used at bodegas, supermarkets and delis. Migrants must sign an affidavit promising to only use the cards for food and baby supplies, or else
As though President Biden hasn't taken enough actions to offer aid and comfort to America's enemies already, now he is reportedly to issue an executive order (EO) threatening Israeli citizens who have settled in the West Bank.
President Joe Biden is expected to issue an executive order targeting Israeli settlers in the West Bank who have been attacking Palestinianns in the occupied territory, according to four people familiar with the matter.
A senior administration official, who like the others was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity, said the White House was expected to announce the order later Thursday.
The order comes with Biden facing growing criticism
The U.S. military launched an air assault on dozens of sites in Iraq and Syria used by Iranian-backed militias and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Friday, in the opening salvo of retaliation for the drone strike that killed three U.S. troops in Jordan last weekend.
The massive barrage of strikes hit more than 85 targets at seven locations, including command and control headquarters, intelligence centers, rockets and missiles, drone and ammunition storage sites and other facilities that were connected to the militias or the IRGC’s Quds Force,
It's quite something that the Democrats sold Joe Biden as some kind of a nice moderate who would supposedly restore order and have the "adults back in charge." That was such fiction, and everything has been out of order and in chaos since he came in, from domestic issues to foreign policy. He's governed like someone completely under the control of the left, with extreme positions on the border and student loans, for example.
Instead, we got a nasty man. He makes up things constantly to pander and to hold onto control. He screams at people when he's challenged, he's called voters and media all kinds
Over 500 journalists were laid off from news outlets in January, according to a new report released Thursday, as many organizations continue to struggle financially. (snip) The job cuts come after an already bleak year. The news industry shed 3,087 digital, broadcast and print news jobs in 2023 — the highest annual total since 2020, when 16,060 cuts were recorded.
In the last month, dozens of layoffs were announced at outlets including NBC News, Time magazine, Business Insider and The Los Angeles Times — the last of which saw more than 100 employees cut.
San Francisco's residential property market has hit troubled waters as a major investor landlord announced the sell-off of a large section of its rental empire this week.
Landlord Mosser Companies defaulted on a 2018 loan for $88 million that was underwritten by its 459 rental units across 12 buildings in San Francisco.
The company's creditor has now hired real estate firm Cushman & Wakefield to sell the multifamily home properties, The San Francisco Chronicle reported. Mosser Companies took on the debt pre-pandemic with low occupancy rates, but as the city by the bay grapples with
Fox News host Dagen McDowell warned Republicans not to run on the economy in the upcoming election because “it’s good” right now. Recently, Democrats have credited President Joe Biden for the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 index hitting record heights. Moreover, the labor market grew exponentially in January as the U.S. added more than 350,000 jobs.
The U.S. has launched a devastating wave of airstrikes on Iran's Revolutionary Guard in Iraq and Syria in retaliation for the drone strike that killed three U.S. troops.
Multiple long-range bombers and drones hit 85 targets with 125 bombs over 30 minutes in the widespread military operation on Friday night ordered by President Joe Biden.
The president said strikes will continue 'at times and places of our choosing' and warned militias in the Middle East: 'If you harm an American, we will respond'.
Gavin Newsom revealed Wednesday that he once witnessed a shoplifter steal from Target without any interference from workers, one of whom blamed the California governor for emboldened criminals in the state before she realized who he actually was. (snip) Newsom said he was on the Target checkout line when he and a store worker saw the thief waltz out of the store with items he didn’t pay for, according to footage posted online.
“I said, ‘why didn’t you stop him,’” Newsom said. “She goes, ‘oh, the governor.’ Swear to God, true story on my mom’s grave. ‘The governor lowered the threshold, there’s no accountability.’
Elon Musk weighed in on Joe Biden’s agenda.
News broke in January that Joe Biden will prioritize legal status for millions of illegal immigrants in the United States. This comes after Joe Biden opened the borders and allowed over 10 million illegals from over a hundred countries to invade the United States. Republicans are still too afraid to impeach Biden for this criminal act.
The AP reported: President-elect Joe Biden’s decision to immediately ask Congress to offer legal status to an estimated 11 million people in the country has surprised advocates given how the issue has long divided Democrats and Republicans, even within their own parties.
On Friday, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson (R-LA) mused about the possibility of something that is becoming more and more apparent with each passing day: Joe Biden isn't the guy in charge in Washington.
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) speculated Friday that President Biden’s staff is keeping him from taking executive action to stem the flow of migrants on the southern border.
“He knows that he has the authority. We’ve documented it for him. I’ve read to him the law myself — to the president. Read him the provisions of the law and said, ‘Mr. President, please take action,’” Johnson said
How to Ensure a Big, Ugly War With Iran
19 replies
Iranian-backed militias have attacked American installations and forces in Syria, Iraq, and Jordan some 170 times.
Ostensibly, these terrorist groups claim they are hitting U.S. forces to coerce America into dropping its support of Israel and demanding a cease-fire in the Gaza war. In reality, these satellite terrorists are being directed in a larger effort by Iran to pry the U.S. out of the Middle East, in the manner of the 1983 Marine barracks bombing.
That way, Iran will be free to fulfill its old dream of becoming a nuclear shield for a new Shiite/Persian terrorist axis
