    Black Lives Matter transferred millions to a Canadian charity run by the wife of its co-founder to purchase a sprawling mansion that had once served as the headquarters of the Communist Party, public records show. M4BJ, a Toronto-based non-profit set up by Janaya Khan and other Canadian activists, snagged the 10,000 square foot historic property for the equivalent of $6.3 million in cash in July 2021, according to Toronto property records viewed by The Post.
  • Just Wonderful: Nancy Pelosi Buys a $25 Million Mansion in Florida (on the beach)

    It’s wonderful that Nancy Pelosi is buying a $25 million home on beautiful Jupiter Island, Florida. Reminds me of the song Jennifer Juniper by Donovan when he sings “Jennifer Juniper lives upon the hill.” Maybe we should change the lyric to say “Nancy Pelosi was once upon Capital hill but is now moving the Jupiter beach?” We can call her “Nancy of Jupiter?” But we wonder why? Is Nancy Pelosi tired of California and its high cost of living? Is Nancy happier being in a state run by Republican Ron DeSantis than her home state of California run by Democrat...

    Andrew Cuomo appears to be all packed up — with no place to go. Moving trucks were spotted Friday outside New York’s Executive Mansion, three days before the disgraced governor has to be out. A U-Haul and at least two pickup trucks were parked outside the mansion in Albany first thing in the morning. At least six workers could be seen unloading dollies and carts from the truck before heading inside. After being unloaded, the U-Haul was then moved out of site from the road. It is not yet clear where Cuomo is headed when he leaves his lavish digs...

    Sen. Mitt Romney has seized on a hot Southern California housing market. The Utah senator and former Replublican presidential nominee sold his 11,000-square-foot La Jolla mansion, the Salt Lake Tribune reported. Romney announced the sale during a virtual discussion with the Salt Lake Chamber, Utah’s largest business association. No price was announced for the beachfront home at 311 Dunemere Drive, but the property was assessed at $15.3 million, according to the report. Romney and his wife Ann paid $12 million in 2008 for the property, which at the time included a 3,000-square-foot home. The couple demolished it and built the...

    When 39-year-old Cabletron co-founder Robert Levine retired in 1997, newspapers called him “eccentric” — he did, after all, wear ostrich-skin boots and chase off a pizza delivery boy in his armored tank, as he told it — but he was just getting started. The mansion has an indoor and an outdoor shooting range. “You never really even have to leave the estate to have fun. I don’t know of another place like it,” The 25,000-square-foot recreation center called “the Lodge” includes a five-story rock climbing wall, an elevator, an indoor shooting range, a teppanyaki (similar to Hibachi) dining area, a...

    Another woman is accusing New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo of workplace misconduct, a newspaper reported Tuesday. The details of the allegations weren’t immediately clear, but the Times Union of Albany reported Tuesday that the woman said Cuomo inappropriately touched her late last year at the governor’s mansion, where she had been summoned to work. The newspaper didn’t reveal her identity or detail what type of touching was alleged to have taken place. It did not speak to the woman. The paper cited “an official close to the matter” as confirming the existence of the complaint. NBC New York has not...

Husband and wife, Mark and Patricia McCloskey could be seen aiming the guns at demonstrators who walked by their palatial property in the wealthy Forest Park area at around 6pm on Sunday. At one point, the pair seemed to be unknowingly pointing their weapons at one another other while trying to keep protesters away from their home - dubbed the Niemann Mansion. The protesters were en route to Mayor Lyda Krewson's home to demand her resignation after she released the...

    No visitors allowed - even in death. Jeffrey Epstein’s estate is fighting a legal effort by one of his alleged victims to send a video crew to the perv’s Upper East Side mansion and island retreat. The victim, identified in papers only as Priscilla Doe, wants to film the areas where she says she was abused and show a jury, through video footage, that she could not easily escape the multimillionaire sex offender. “The grandeur and opulence of the Epstein properties alone demonstrate the power disparity between Epstein and Doe and thus are directly relevant to critical issues to be...
