Erika Jayne says she was joking about PK, Dorit Kemsley breakup

Image
Erika Jayne is backtracking on her comments about Dorit and Paul “PK” Kemsley’s marriage. After PK shaded Jayne on Instagram for claiming his marriage was on the rocks, the “Pretty Mess” singer commented on his post claiming it was all in good fun. “When did you get so sensitive? You know damn well I was joking..” the reality star wrote. Erika Jayne claims she was joking about friends PK and Dorit Kemsley’s potential split. Instagram/theprettymess Over the weekend, Jayne predicted her “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” co-stars would be the next Bravolebrities to divorce during a panel at BravoCon.

It's too late for old guard Democrats to stop the red wave

Image
What are Democrats doing to avoid getting drowned by a “red wave” next Tuesday?  They’re rolling out the oldies. Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama are back on the campaign trail.  But the nostalgia tour is only serving to remind voters how far the Democratic Party has fallen.  Bill Clinton didn’t even try to disguise the ugly truth at a stop in Hurleyville, NY, for congressional hopeful Josh Riley.  “Here’s the truth. We do have too much inflation, and we do have too much crime,” the ex-president conceded.  “But all this tough talk doesn’t amount to a hill of beans, that the Republicans are making,” he continued in a syntactical tangle perhaps born of embarrassment.  The trouble for Democrats is voters aren’t thinking about beans, they’re thinking about the Democratic Party’s record in office as crime soars and prices at the supermarket shoot to the ceiling.  Voters have little hope and want change. So what is ex-Pr...

Hillary Clinton accuses GOP of using fear tactics at NYC Hochul rally

Image
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton accused Republicans of using fear tactics to attract voters during a Manhattan rally for Gov. Kathy Hochul Thursday night. Clinton was joined by Vice President Kamala Harris as the two powerful Democrats put their weight behind Hochul, who has been losing ground to Republican rival Rep. Lee Zeldin in the final days of the governor’s race. “They don’t care about keeping you safe,” Clinton said of Republicans during the rally at Barnard College. “They want to keep you scared.” The former Democratic presidential candidate said the Republican Party ambushes New Yorkers with ads about crime using “scary pictures and scary music,” but offers no solutions to combat violence. “I see … ads about crime every 30 seconds,” Clinton said. “No solutions, but just a lot of really fearful, scary pictures and scary music.” She then invoked the hammer attack that left House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband hospitaliz...

Hochul denies crime's a problem but Hillary Clinton lets truth slip

Image
Hillary Clinton and Krazy Kat Hochul need to get on the same page concerning crime. Is it real, as Clinton seems to believe? Or is it, as Hochul has contended, an overblown campaign distraction — promoted by “master manipulators” and “data deniers” to derail her bid to become New York’s first elected female governor? Sisterly solidarity was the order of the day at Barnard College Thursday — with Hillary and Hochul standing shoulder-to-shoulder before a cheering, fully committed array of feminism-centric true believers. It was one of those late-campaign events where the hype is thick, where the rhetoric is hyperbolic and where the facts don’t really matter. How very odd, then, that Hillary let the truth peek through. Oh, for sure, the partisan newspeak was there — darkly threatening Republicans hide behind every tree in Hillaryland, and have for decades. But suddenly she slipped. “They don’t care about keeping you safe,” she said — they b...

Jewish group backs Lee Zeldin over 'failed' Gov. Kathy Hochul

Image
An influential Orthodox Jewish business group with a history of backing powerful New York Democrats is crossing party lines to endorse Rep. Lee Zeldin over Gov. Kathy Hochul in the race for governor. Saying Hochul “failed” to make key changes to New York’s controversial bail laws and reduce crime, Duvi Honig, CEO of the Wall Street-based Orthodox Jewish Chamber of Commerce, told The Post that New York needs a governor that exhibits an “unwavering stand on violent crime” — and Zeldin is the man for the job.  “Violent criminals endanger local businesses and institutions, jeopardize the lives and livelihoods of law-abiding individuals, and harm state and local economies and the sense of security all residents of New York need and deserve,” said Honig in his endorsement letter.  “Gov. Kathy Hochul has not risen to meet the urgency of the moment,” he wrote. Honig also said he was disturbed by Hochul’s refusal to call Albany lawmakers into a speci...

Hochul, Albany would rather keep jails empty than let victims live

Image
Let’s get one thing straight. Keaira Bennefield would be alive today if her violent, predicate-felon estranged husband had been remanded after he savagely beat her inside her apartment a few days before he shot her. But he wasn’t remanded because Adam Bennefield caused only misdemeanor injuries and a judge could not set bail on him even though he had previously been convicted of a gunpoint kidnapping of two women and had served almost 15 years in state prison. Gov. Kathy Hochul either does not understand that or is afraid to anger the progressives in her party who wrote the disastrous bail reform laws that allowed this to happen. Either way, it’s pathetic. Hochul tried to blame the district attorney. But the DA leveled charges that were appropriate for the defendant’s actions at the time. Bennefield’s injuries were only misdemeanor injuries under New York law, although the experience was terrifying. Even if the DA had been able to raise the charges ...

Zeldin won't let hecklers stop his anti-crime remarks at site of NYC rape

Image
Hecklers tried to disrupt a Friday appearance by Republican gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin in Manhattan  — but their shouts failed to silence his anti-crime broadsides against Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul. During a news conference near the scene of the Thursday morning rape of a tourist jogging in Hudson River Park, Zeldin said, “It is important that we are doing everything in our power to make our streets and our subway safe.” “Now, unfortunately, Kathy Hochul doesn’t want to be here talking about these issues,” he said. “She wants to send her supporters to make sure that we aren’t talking about fighting crime.” Zeldin also blasted Hillary Clinton for accusing Republicans of trying to keep voters “scared” while she campaigned for Hochul with Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday night. In response to a question from The Post, Zeldin said Clinton and Hochul should be telling New Yorkers, “I understand your concerns. I want to do absol...

Letters to the Editor — Nov. 5, 2022

Image
The Issue: Gov. Hochul’s response to rising crime in New York City and across the state. If my memory is correct, Gov. Hochul campaigned together with Hillary Clinton and Vice President Harris in her bid to keep her seat in Albany. The emphasis of Hochul’s campaign was abortion worries. On that same day, Carl Phanor allegedly assaulted, raped and robbed an innocent female jogger. (“Homeless rape menace,” Nov. 4). This should give everyone cause to reflect on how broken our criminal-justice system is. How insulting that Hochul denies crime is an issue in New York and spins out a new conspiracy theory about it. Martin Garfinkle Staten Island The unspeakable crime that occurred in Buffalo — the killing of Keaira Bennefield by her husband — and Hochul’s disgraceful reaction to it are two of the most utterly despicable things I have ever seen (“Gov’s blame excuse,” Nov. 3). For the governor to blame it on the system that she has suppo...

MSNBC anchor confronts Gov. Hochul on crime in New York

Image
Gov. Kathy Hochul was called out about the state’s out-of-control crime surge on MSNBC — of all places — where an anchor on the ultra-liberal network even told her “we don’t feel safe.” “Here’s the problem. We don’t feel safe, you might be working closely with Mayor Adams, you may have spent a whole lot of money but I walk into my pharmacy and everything is on lockdown because of shoplifters,” said anchor Stephanie Ruhle during her interview with Hochul on her show “The 11th Hour” Friday. “I’m not going in the subway. people don’t feel safe in this town. So, you may have done these things. But right now, we’re not feeling good. We’re worried we could be San Francisco?” Crime in New York City has spiked across the board since Hochul became governor last year, and critics say the surge is fueled by repeat offenders sprung time and again because of the state’s 2019 bail reform law. Hochul sai...

Biden is gaslighting Americans about his failed presidency

Image
The Biden Administration will be known to history for many things: an open border and its deadly consequences, the abandonment of Afghanistan, weakness that led to catastrophe in Europe, skyrocketing inflation, and the use of federal law enforcement to target political opponents. The catalog of infamy goes on. Above all, though, this administration may be remembered for its duplicity — its continual, shameless “gaslighting” of the American people. Biden, his team, and his sycophantic media supporters repeatedly tell us that “all is well” where it manifestly is not. No matter how bad things become in the nation, no matter how many people suffer, reality has no purchase on the ideological bubble of this White House. That is why, in these midterm elections, the American people must deliver to Joe Biden an unequivocal message: that they refuse to be gaslit, that they are not buying what he is selling. Amid a migrant crisis at the US-Mexico bord...

East Harlem junkie haven thriving under cops' noses

Image
The free-for-all junkie haven in East Harlem was still operating in full force Sunday — with some NYPD cops simply looking the other way while zoned-out addicts tried to rob and harass locals in broad daylight. Saber Saifullah, who owns Pizza 2 Go on East 125th Street, told The Post the day after its expose on the open-air outrage that he had to personally shoo away an addict who tried to rob a 15-year-old girl outside the eatery Sunday — about 10 yards from a cop on patrol. “The cop is standing there, drug dealer is standing there,” Saifullah said.  “I’m here 20 years managing this, never like this,” he said of the out-of-control scene. “[The junkies] see the good people come here to buy, and they snatch the food, they snatch the money.” Another addict was seen pulling down his pants Sunday and shooting up right next to three NYPD squad cars, with no one intervening. Saifullah said the addicts are “not like humans” when they’re drugged ...

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg silent on gang that preys on gay men

Image
A gang that preys on gay men at Hell’s Kitchen nightclubs is suspected of killing at least two victims and of drugging and robbing more than a dozen other men — but Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office is impeding the investigation, law enforcement sources say.  An NYPD homicide investigation into the serial killings has expanded to include robberies with the unexplained deaths of two well-heeled young men, who were attacked in near identical circumstances five weeks and two blocks apart last spring.  Their phones were missing when their bodies were found, and their bank accounts had been emptied of tens of thousands of dollars. Each victim was last seen with three unidentified men in the hours before they died.  Five months later, New Yorkers still have not been warned that the predatory gang is on the loose.  But the mother of one victim has decided to break her silence to protect other young men from suf...

Lee Zeldin calls for Democrats to unite with him vs. crime

Image
Republican gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin reached out to New York’s Democratic voters Monday during a pre-Election Day rally at which he highlighted his tough-on-crime message. Speaking outside a Bronx subway station where a rider was stabbed in the neck Sunday morning, Zeldin said, “New Yorkers of all walks of life are uniting as New Yorkers to take back our streets, to take back our subways.” “People have said: Enough,” he said. “This isn’t about Republican vs. Democrat. This is about all of us uniting.” Zeldin — whose surging campaign has forced President Biden, former President Bill Clinton and other Democratic bigwigs to stump for Gov. Kathy Hochul — also said voters in the deep-blue Empire State “are not monolithic.” “You can’t just paint somebody who is a registered Democrat and say because they are a registered Democrat, that means that they are just going to vote one particular way — that they don’t think for themselves, the...

The Masked Singer fans 'work out' Rhino's identity as X Factor winner | TV & Radio | Showbiz & TV

TV personality and panellist David McCall went on to point out how Rhino seemed "humble". She said: "Rhino has been particularly emotive. There are people who completely draw you in. "It’s lucky for Rhino, actually, that they can pull some emotion out of the bag, because it's very, very hard in that costume to give us anything at all. They are massive, and they are quite humble. "They keep putting their little hooves together, it looks so sweet. If it's possible to have a sweet rhino, this is it." So could it really be the former X Factor winner James Arthur behind Rhino?
