Maryland Governor Larry Hogan attacked Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a fellow Republican, on Sunday over the Sunshine State's new law placing limits on discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity in the classroom. Hogan dismissed the Parental Rights in Education bill—dubbed the 'Don't Say Gay' bill by critics—as 'absurd' and criticized DeSantis for getting into a public spat with the Walt Disney Company over the matter. 'I didn't really actually see the details of the legislation, but the whole thing seems like just a crazy fight,' Hogan told CNN's State of the Union.(Snip)'It concerns me that DeSantis is always talking about, you know, he was not

New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu, a Republican, called Donald Trump '****ing crazy' at the white-tie Gridiron Dinner in Washington D.C. on Saturday. Sununu was the GOP rep for the evening, giving remarks where he railed against the former president–even as some within the party say Trump is the best hope for congressional Republicans winning back a majority in 2022 and back the White House in 2024. 'You know, he's probably going to be the next president,' Sununu said of Trump, before going on to sarcastically comment on the ex-president's 'experience' and 'sense of integrity.' 'Nah, I'm just kidding!' Sununu broke out and was met with laughter

Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson doled out a lenient sentence to a child rapist for violating probation—and he allegedly struck again during the time when prosecutors wanted him locked up, The Post has learned. The Biden nominee’s handling of sex offender Leo Weekes’ case emerged in a tranche of court filings and transcripts sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee Friday—just days before the panel is set to vote on whether to report her nomination to the full Senate. While Republicans have previously highlighted Jackson’s practice of giving the lightest possible punishments in child pornography cases, the Weekes case throws into question her treatment of rapists, as well.

Only former President Donald Trump—and the disgraced Richard Nixon—would think of meddling in potential prosecutions, President Biden’s Chief of Staff Ron Klain said Sunday. Klein made the comparison as he denied a report that Biden said Trump should be prosecuted for inciting the Jan. 6, 2020 siege of the U.S. Capitol. “I’ve never heard the president say that—advocate the prosecution of any person,” Klain told ABC’s “This Week.” “Only Richard Nixon and Donald Trump, in the modern era, believed that prosecution decisions should be made in the Oval Office, not at the Justice Department,” he said.(Snip)According to The New York Times, last year Biden told

A 16-year-old was arrested Saturday for his part in a random gang attack on a Hasidic man on a Brooklyn street, cops said. The group of bullies descended on the 21-year-old victim in front of 5 Gerry St. in Williamsburg, punching and kicking the man without any “prior words or provocation,” the NYPD said. The man was forced to the ground as the attackers ran off, police said. The victim was treated by an ambulance on the scene of the Friday evening attack, for minor injuries to his mouth, cops said. The teenager, who was not identified by name, was slapped with charges of gang assault

A gay substitute teacher in Ohio was fired last week after handing out pride bracelets to high school students. Jay Bowman, who taught at Huntington Local Schools in Chillicothe, Ohio, for 30 years, said he was fired due to “community complaints” about private onversations with students over a wristband he was wearing.
The bracelet is rainbow-colored and represents First Capital Pride—a local non-profit supporting the LGBTQIA+ community. Mr. Bowman said he handed them out to students and answered questions about the group.(Snip)Huntington Local School District Superintendent Peter Ruby said the teacher violated policies by speaking about personal beliefs and political and religious topics.

A 35-year-old man shot by police last month in downtown Savannah when he allegedly brandished a handgun at two off-duty officers died Tuesday, becoming the 14th person killed by law enforcement in Georgia this year, according to the GBI. Robert Gadson was critically injured when he was shot March 26 outside a bar, the GBI said. Gadson had been involved in a dispute with a bouncer around 3 a.m. when he pulled a gun, according to the state agency. Two off-duty Savannah police officers were working security next door and responded to the incident. They told Gadson to drop his gun, but instead he pointed his

It’s a tour de farce. Prospective New York University students and their parents are getting an unwelcome taste of the Big Apple’s homeless crisis as they tour the college’s Greenwich Village campus.
The student-led tour groups are being routinely harassed by begging vagrants—and even assaulted. One group was pelted with eggs Monday afternoon standing outside the Goddard Hall dorm on Washington Square East. A guide told The Post this week that he has been hassled for cash and grabbed by a vagrant demanding money.(Snip)“You can see them visibly disgusted and say ‘I don’t want to apply here, I don’t want to apply here because I feel unsafe,'

In a public ceremony delayed two years by the pandemic, President Joe Biden on Saturday commissioned the USS Delaware, a nuclear attack submarine, saying it would enhance national security, though he made no reference to the global turmoil from Russia's invasion of Ukraine. First Lady Jill Biden is the submarine's sponsor, a ceremonial role meant to bring a vessel luck, which technically makes her a crew member for life. The honor, steeped in Navy tradition, is typically assigned to a female civilian. During her remarks at the ceremony in Wilmington, Delaware, she exclaimed: 'Officers and crew of the USS Delaware, man our ship and bring her to life!'

A Georgia mother who was stopped from reading an excerpt from a book at a school board meeting because it was 'inappropriate' has expressed her frustration at the 'irony' of the book being available in libraries. Michelle Brown attended a Cherokee County School Board meeting on March 17, demanding answers about the inclusion of Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi in the schools' libraries.(Snip)'If I gave a child one of these books, I'd go to jail,' she told Laura Ingraham. 'But they can get it in our school libraries. And it's not OK.'

Washington—A federal grand jury has heard testimony in recent months about Hunter Biden's income and payments he received while serving on the board of a Ukraine energy company, according to two people familiar with the probe. It remains unclear whether he might be charged. But the grand jury activity underscores that a federal tax investigation into President Joe Biden's son that began in 2018 remains active as prosecutors continue to examine foreign payments and other aspects of his finances.(Snip)Hunter Biden confirmed the existence of an investigation into his taxes in December 2020, one month after the presidential election. He said in a statement at the time that

In the eight child-porn cases that came before her court, former D.C. District Court Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson heard horrifying details of “sadomasochistic” torture of young kids—including “infants and toddlers”—yet challenged the disturbing evidence presented by prosecutors and disregarded their prison recommendations to give the lightest possible punishments in each case, according to transcripts of sentencing hearings obtained by the Post. In some cases, she even apologized to some of the kiddie-porn perverts for having to follow the statutes, which she called “substantially flawed.” Over and over, the records reveal, Jackson made excuses for the sex fiends’ criminal behavior and cut them slack in defiance of investigators
