A Queens man was arrested over the weekend for two random subway slashings in as many days—crimes he allegedly committed after being picked up, then let go, for brandishing a knife at cops.
Donny Ubiera, 32, stabbed two straphangers—one in the face and the other in the neck—without provocation in separate incidents Friday and Saturday morning along the Flushing-to-Midtown No. 7 subway line, the NYPD said in a statement. The accused serial slasher had just gotten out of jail Thursday—with a single night of “time served”—for allegedly refusing to put down a large knife when confronted by Queens officers on the street

A royal rift is growing between Britain’s government leaders and the nation’s future king after Prince Charles reportedly called the controversial new policy to send asylum seekers to Rwanda “appalling.” Members of United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s cabinet have warned the Prince of Wales to stop meddling in public policy over fears that a political king would cause a constitutional crisis, according to The Sunday Times. The royals released a statement in response to the admonishment Saturday stating Charles, 73, would be “politically neutral” when he inherits the throne, even as courtiers said the prince intends to be more forward in stating his views than his mother

In the autumn of 2018, as the gilets jaunes movement took off, Emmanuel Macron faced a crisis in France that also represented a personal political failure. A little more than a year previously, he had arrived at the Elysée, elected on a centrist, social-liberal, pro-Europe agenda. He embodied fierce opposition to national populism, yet now seemed the president on whose watch populism in France was growing. At the time, I wrote an article for the Guardian asking if centrist and anti-populist leaders were creating breeding grounds for the populists they had sworn to defeat. Barack Obama, after all, had been followed by Donald Trump.

While Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is known for his staunch opposition to the Wuhan virus lockdowns, he has gradually built a reputation as a budding immigration patriot. According to a report by Brandon Walters at Texas Scorecard, DeSantis is pushing the envelope by criticizing Texas Governor Greg Abbott for his refusal to send illegal aliens back to Mexico.(Snip)“They let them come across and then you give them to the feds, and the feds just release them anyways,” DeSantis declared, per a report from Florida Politics. “What they need to do, Texas, is Texas should just send them back across the border.” “Who cares what the feds are saying?

The Swedish city of Malmö is taking dirty talk to a whole new level in its latest effort to clean up the streets. By installing talking garbage cans that dish out racy audio messages after being fed trash, authorities are hoping for an increase in rubbish being deposited. Pedestrians that drop trash into one of two bins on the city's Davidshallsbron bridge are rewarded with extremely positive feedback from a sultry female voice, who offers a range of responses. "Oh, right there, yes!", "Come back soon and do that again!" and "Mmm, a bit more to the left next time," feature among the programmed messages.

More than 1,500 NYPD officers have either resigned or retired so far this year–on pace to be the biggest exodus of officers since the statistics have been available, The Post has learned.(Snip)The 1,596 total is a 38% spike from the same period in 2021, when 1,159 cops called it a career, and a staggering 46% climb from 2020, when 1,092 left the force by the same date. Anti-cop hostility, bail reform, and rising crime have fed into frustration among the NYPD rank and file, according to one NYPD officer who recently fled for greener pastures at a Long Island police department after 6 1/2 years

President Joe Biden will travel to New Mexico today to meet with local officials and Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham to discuss the state's response to the two of the largest wildfires in its history which have now burned 600,000 acres and displaced thousands. The Hermits Peak/Calf Canyon and Black fires have now ripped through 616,440 acres. They are around 44% contained as of Saturday morning.
Now, residents are demanding to know how big a role the Forest Service played in the Hermits Peak blaze, that began in April as a controlled burn in Las Vegas, New Mexico, but has spun out of control.

A mysterious series of attacks on US Navy warships off the coast of California in 2019 have been revealed to be caused by a cluster of drones launched from a Hong Kong cargo ship, a new report says.
The bizarre incidents, which were reported between March 30 and July 30, 2019 on seven warships and had led to speculation that they were caused by unidentified aerial phenomena or UFOs, came to light Friday after the publication of previously classified US Navy memos and ships’ logs, obtained by The Drive under Freedom to Information legislation. The drone attacks caused high-level concern because they took place near a sensitive naval training
