There could be an Election Denier right next door. They
could deliver your mail, serve you a cocktail at the airport, sit next to you on the subway, or empty your garbage. They might be a grandma, a wife, or a son. They could be anyone. They could even be me. Yes, I am an Election Denier. I am someone you’ve been told to fear, someone you probably think has been captured by extremist ideology and THE BIG LIE. You might say that also makes me an “insurrectionist” and “domestic extremist.” I would say you’ve been watching too much MSNBC....

Bears Are Not Bulletproof, Don’t Aim at the Wrong Spot

| March 27, 2024 | Dean Weingarten
One of the persistent myths about shooting bears in self-defense is a bear’s skull is nearly bulletproof. Bears
skulls are not bulletproof. However, bear heads are big. It is easy to miss the brain or spine if you aim at the wrong spot or aim away from the brain because you are afraid the bullet will “bounce off.” This is exacerbated by trophy hunters’ hesitancy to shoot a bear in the head. A powerful shot to the brain cavity will fracture the skull, making measurement for the record books impossible.It is difficult to hit the brain of a bear if...

If you’ve ever had a hot dog outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art, you probably got it from Dan Rossi — aka the Hot Dog King — who sleeps in his van parked outside the landmark to protect his coveted spot. In
the nearly 20 years that Rossi has been slinging dogs outside the Met, he’s become quite the Big Apple legend — something he says he, quite frankly, “doesn’t get.” “As far as ‘icon,’ I’m it, I guess. I enjoy it a little bit, I just don’t understand it,” the 74-year-old Marine veteran told The Post with a laugh...

Over-the-Counter ‘Diet Weed’ Is the New Go-To for Teens, Worrying Scientists — and Symptoms Are Hard to Spot

| March 15, 2024 | Alex Mitchell
New medical research in the Journal of the American Medical Association has found that 11% of high school seniors admit to using a prevalent and easily accessible synthetic marijuana, known as delta-8 THC. That number translates to “at least one or two students in every average-sized high school class,” according to Nora
Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse. A lack of federal regulation means there’s no age restriction on the over-the-counter product, found readily in gas stations, online and in convenience stores in many states — leaving experts worried.

Bud Light found itself dethroned by Corona as Super Bowl champion in the battle of the beers as the embattled brand struggles to recover from the Dylan Mulvaney backlash. Sales
in bars and restaurants crashed to just half of last year's figure despite a half-time ad and months of concerted effort to steer away from the trans-friendly image that cost the brand nearly $30 billion. Corona was the top-selling beer based on whole-day sales, according to data by restaurant engagement platform Union. But Bud Light's parent company Anheuser-Busch InBev had some consolation as its Michelob Ultra brand notched up most...
