Feds investigating Meta for possible role in illegal drug sales on Facebook, Instagram

By Dana Kennedy | New York Post The feds are poking Facebook for possible drug dealing. US prosecutors in Virginia are investigating Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, for playing a role in facilitating illegal drug sales online, the Wall Street Journal reported Saturday. They’ve issued subpoenas and begun questioning whether Meta’s social media platforms are enabling and profiting from illicit drug sales, sources told the Journal. Prosecutors have also asked for records related to “violative drug content on Meta’s platforms and/or the illicit sale of drugs via Meta’s platforms,” according to copies of subpoenas delivered last year that were seen by the Journal.

Donald Trump Jr. suggests MAGA is ‘the new Republican Party’

By Ryan King | New York Post Donald Trump Jr. mused that the “Make America Great Again” movement has replaced the old guard of the Republican Party. Trump Jr. hailed the recent leadership shakeup at the Republican National Committee backed by his father and argued that it illustrates the MAGA takeover. “I think the RNC is gonna be a little bit more of that old-school establishment. That Republican Party frankly no longer exists outside of the D.C. Beltway. But it takes a little while to make that transition,” Trump Jr. said on Newsmax’s “The Balance.” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE NEW YORK POST

Elon Musk criticizes program that flew 320,000 ‘unvetted’ illegal immigrants into America

By Shannon Thaler | New York Post Elon Musk ripped President Joe Biden’s administration for secretly flying 320,000 “unvetted” migrants into the US, signaling that “the groundwork is being laid for something far worse than 9/11.” Musk issued the grave warning on X Tuesday, noting that it’s “just a matter of time” that the US faces another terrorist attack of that magnitude. “This administration is both importing voters and creating a national security threat from unvetted illegal immigrants,” Musk added in the post. “This is why groups on the far left fight so hard to stop voter ID requirements, under the absurd guise of protecting the right to vote,” the billionaire Tesla CEO said in a subsequent post that doubled down on his stance.

‘Small’ high-altitude balloon of unknown origin flying over Colorado, Western U.S., poses ‘no threat’

By Victor Nava / New York Post The US government is tracking a high-altitude balloon of unknown origin — and officials insist that it is not a security threat. The balloon, flying at an altitude between 43,000 and 45,000 feet, was determined to be “not maneuverable” and poses no threat to national security, the North American Aerospace Defense Command told The Post on Friday.  The nation’s airspace watchdog described it as “small” and said its fighter jets intercepted the balloon over Utah.  “NORAD will continue to track and monitor the balloon,” the military agency said in a statement. “The FAA also determined the balloon posed no hazard to flight safety.”  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE NEW YORK POST

Enraged Biden lashes out at reporters, special counsel after scathing classified docs report: ‘I know what the hell I’m doing!’

BY STEVEN NELSON | NEW YORK POST President Biden lashed out at reporters and special counsel Robert Hur on Thursday night in response to a scathing report on Biden’s mishandling of classified documents that could prove devastating to his re-election prospects. Hur’s report on Biden’s improper retention of sensitive material did not recommend criminal charges, but observed that the 81-year-old commander-in-chief appeared greatly diminished mentally, forgetting the dates of key events in his life during an interview with investigators. “I’ve seen the headlines since the report was released about my willful retention of documents. These assertions are not only just misleading, they’re just plain wrong,” Biden said defiantly during a hastily scheduled appearance in the White...

Say hello to the $18 Big Mac Combo Meal, As Fast Food Prices Soar

By Lisa Fickenscher | New York Post Is the $18 Big Mac combo what finally broke America? Low-income customers making less than $45,000 per year have largely stopped ordering from McDonald’s, the fast-food giant’s chief executive Chris Kempczinski admitted Monday on an earnings call with Wall Street analysts. A Big Mac, fries and drink has risen to nearly $18 at a handful of locations while hash browns are up to $6. And it’s driven away customers fed up with inflation. Global same-store sales in the latest quarter had grown just 3.4%, falling short of the 4.7% growth Wall Street had expected and largely driven by menu price increases, the company said this week.
