New footage of the savage assault on a disabled woman in a Manhattan subway station captures the hulking brute claiming he was trying to help the victim “with your f–king walker” during the beating. The lengthy cellphone video – taken by a transit worker and obtained by The Post Wednesday – allegedly shows Norton Blake, 43, beating 60-year-old Laurell Reynolds with a cane, a belt and then his fists inside the West 116 Street and Lenox Avenue subway station early Friday. After he’s done hitting, smacking, punching and kicking the defenseless woman, the suspect yells at his cowering victim that...

A 26-year-old man allegedly raped and beat a University of Wisconsin at Madison student and then posed as an innocent bystander after the attack, cops said. Brandon Thompson, 26, was busted Wednesday for sexual assault, reckless injury, and strangulation in connection with the “horrific” assault that left a young woman clinging to life, according to Madison police. “This case will not be complete until this cowardly attacker receives the justice he deserves,” Chief Shon Barnes said at a press conference.

Western Heights Public School District in Oklahoma has reportedly hired a drag queen known as Carmen Deveraux, who works at Oklahoma City night club The Boom, as a kindergarten classroom assistant. The school previously defended its August decision to hire Dr. Shane Brent Murnan as an elementary school principal at John Glenn Elementary.

The Jefferson County Education Association (JCEA) email explained to teachers that if they surveyed students on their gender identities, that information should not be stored in records, in a CBS report headlined, "Controversy erupts in Jefferson County after the teachers union tells educators to destroy evidence of student surveys regarding gender identity." The email said, "if you do a questionnaire, please...

Brooks of the Western District of Arkansas granted the preliminary injunction in response to a motion by Netchoice, a trade group for technology companies that has members including Facebook parent company Meta; TikTok; and X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. The law had been set to go into effect Friday. “We’re pleased the court sided with the First Amendment and stopped Arkansas’ unconstitutional law from censoring free speech online and undermining the privacy of Arkansans, their...

Anthony Chabot Elementary School in Oakland, California, is reportedly hosting a “playdate social” for children from every racial and ethnic background besides white. “If your family identifies as Black, Brown, or API or are [sic] a parent/caregiver of a Black, Brown, or API student. Come hang out while we get a chance to know each other and build our community as we kick off this schoolyear [sic],” reads the invite to the event, hosted by the school’s so-called Equity & Inclusion Committee. “I dunno about others, but I’m genuinely upset about what ultimately boils down to a “No whites allowed”...

A Maryland district court denied parents’ appeal to reinstate an opt-out policy in Montgomery County Public Schools on Thursday. The case, Tamer Mahmoud v. Monica B. McKnight, hinged on whether the district’s May decision to rescind its opt-out policy for LGBT curricula violated parents’ right to direct the religious instruction of their children. The court concluded that, “the plaintiffs’ asserted due process right to direct their children’s upbringing by opting out of a public-school curriculum that conflicts with their religious views is not a fundamental right.” Parents sought a preliminary injunction that would authorize opt-out options once school begins on...

A Maine hospital executive involved in diversity, equity and inclusion hosted an antiracist prayer service that had a group of White people apologize for their internalized racism as White people, according to a video reviewed by Fox News Digital. Ryan Polly is a vice president of DEI at MaineHealth, a hospital system of over 20,000 employees. He has said the hospitals cater to overwhelmingly White patients, which is reflected by local demographics. Polly refers to himself as a "minister" of a group called One Spirit. According to a video reviewed by Fox News Digital, which has since been scrubbed, Polly...

The Atlanta court clerk whose office posted a list of charges against former President Donald Trump hours before a grand jury approved them belatedly took responsibility for the embarrassing “mishap” Wednesday. “I am human,” Fulton County Clerk of Superior and Magistrate Courts Ché Alexander told local station WSB-TV. A list of 13 counts to be brought against Trump, 77, was posted on the court’s website at around noon Monday and quickly taken down — but not before being spotted by Reuters, which published the document. Alexander’s office issued an initial statement Monday afternoon calling the document “fictitious.” “That was the...

In 1951, Swedish actress Ulla Jacobsson preceded Marilyn Monroe by three years in her free celebration of her female form on camera. In classical Latin her first name "Ulla" meant "any female".

Jacqueline Susann, author "Valley Of The Dolls" and "The Love Machine" about fictional television producer Robin Stone, was born on August 20, 1918 in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania. "Love shouldn't make a beggar of one. I wouldn't want love if I had to beg for it, to barter or qualify it. And I should despise it if anyone ever begged for my...

Yhe Missouri Democratic Party on Wednesday said a social media post suggesting that a house covered in Trump flags should burn was inappropriate. The party said the staff member responsible was disciplined after it deleted the post from its official account. “It was inappropriate and was immediately taken down on our own initiative because it did not represent the need, even in these divided political times, for spirited yet constructive dialogue,” Matthew Patterson, the party’s executive director, said in a statement to The Star. “The staff member in question has been appropriately reprimanded.” Patterson’s statement did not identify the staff...

The Boy Scouts of America scouting organization is inviting “LGBTQ” advocacy at its national jamboree camp in West Virginia. The current welcome for chaotic sexual diversity is being offered to teenagers as the scouting movement shrinks. There were just 15,000 scouts at the 2023 jamboree compared to 40,000 at the 2013 event. The meager attendance reflects the weather-beaten state of the Boy Scouts of America. Though its doors are now open to kids of all gender identities and sexual orientations, fewer than ever are accepting the invitation. The organization lost nearly half of its membership between 2019 and 2020. The...

Several teens walk up to a man sitting against a wall and unleash a flurry of kicks and punches, video shared by officials shows. The man tries to get away, but more of the group step in, surrounding...

It’s not often that we ask to reproduce an article that has already appeared elsewhere, but this one is exceptional. John Lofton, a Christian, here interviews Craig Palmer, who, along with Randy Thornhill, is one of two evolutionist academic authors of the book, A Natural History Of Rape: Biological Bases Of Sexual Coercion (MIT Press). The book argues that rape is to be expected on the basis of our alleged evolutionary heritage. Many other evolutionists have attacked the book’s thesis; this interview brilliantly spotlights the inconsistency between evolution and the idea of moral values in a society. We do not...
