The Post witnessed the chaotic scenes this week, where the man wearing a revolting mask with a dangling penis for a nose glowered less than 20 feet from the wary kids, stripped and screamed in an unprovoked outburst at 9 a.m. on a Wednesday. “Everyone wants to party, but no one wants to pay for party!” the man bellowed. He took off his…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! As President Donald Trump looks to revive summit diplomacy with Kim Jong Un, he faces a North Korea with a larger nuclear arsenal, a powerful new partner in Russia and far less incentive to strike a deal than it had during his first term.Trump’s renewed outreach comes as he remains locked in a nuclear standoff with Iran, reopening another piece of unfinished business from his first term. Unlike Iran, however, North Korea already possesses a mature nuclear arsenal and multiple delivery systems, leaving Trump with little prospect of eliminating the threat militarily…

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., on Saturday dismissed “AI doomsdaying,” warning that China benefits from “overreaction” by the United States as the two countries compete for dominance in artificial intelligence.

However, both the alcohol and tobacco industries have adjusted to advertising bans which have…

Mark Ruffalo has rejected accusations that he is “antisemitic” for opposing Hollywood studio Paramount Skydance’s executives’ ties to the Israeli government. “The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest,” Ruffalo, 58, wrote via X on Saturday, August 22. “Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel.” The Spider-Man: Brand New Day actor stressed, “To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never…

A couple’s anniversary getaway took a wild turn when a bear strolled into a Gatlinburg tea shop and began rummaging through merchandise before suddenly jumping onto the counter in a startling encounter caught on video.

President Donald Trump lashed out at Canada early Sunday in his first public comments since trade negotiations between the two countries collapsed, accusing Ottawa of wanting the “benefits of being a State, without being one.” “Canada wants the benefits of being a State, without being one!!!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.”They have also charged our great farmers, for many years, massive amounts of Tariffs,” he added. “No more!!!” The comments come a day after Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney suspended negotiations with the U.S. and ordered Canada’s trade team back to Ottawa as Trump’s 50% tariffs on roughly $20 billion…

Ever since the birth of her daughter, she has been distant, anxious and depressed. She’s a different person. I don’t know how to help her. I don’t know what she’s going through.  To make matters worse, she told…
