SUBWAY CHOKEHOLD WITNESS CALLS PENNY A HERO

Daily Mail----Subway chokehold witness calls Daniel Penny is a 'hero' - 'we were scared for their lives'--Story by Jen Smith, Chief Reporter For Dailymail.Com • 7h ago

Penny is facing up to 15 years in prison for putting Neely in a chokehold

A female witness says he did the right thing by protecting the fellow passengers

A woman witnessed Marine veteran Daniel Penny putting Jordan Neely in a fatal chokehold has called him a 'hero' who was protecting other passengers who were 'scared for their lives' when Neely, a mentally ill homeless man, started screaming and threatening them on May 1.

Penny, 24, is 15 years in prison on a second degree manslaughter charge for putting Neely in the chokehold.

Despite a wave of public support and testimony from others on the train who say he acted out of bravery, Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's office is pushing ahead with the prosecution.

One of the women on the train was an unidentified 66-year-old who previously spoke out in defense of Penny.  Now, another is telling her story of how Penny protected them. MORE AT Subway chokehold witness calls Daniel Penny is a 'hero' - 'we were scared for their lives' (msn.com)

ADD ADIDAS TO THE LIST

'Make it make sense' Adidas 'Pride 2023' women's swimsuits appear to be modeled by a man, sparking backlash

Adidas this week launched its “Pride 2023” swimwear collection, advertising bathing suits on its web site under the “women’s” section with the help of a model that appeared to be male.

One of the bathing suits — a colorful one-piece called the “Pride Swimsuit” that was being advertised for $70 — was being shown off by an apparently male model who also was also displaying a noticeable bulge in the crotch area.

TWO ITEMS FROM THE MAILBOX

1) A reader was looking for an old Joel Gingold letter; we believe it is this one----click here for BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR

2) A reader was looking for a certain article featuring Dr. Wen---we believe it is this one from January of this year:

Chief COVID crazy finally admits we’re overcounting cases — but it’s years too late By Post Editorial Board

Had she done less damage to our nation’s most vulnerable, it might be possible to applaud public health “expert” Dr. Leana Wen for her recent admission in The Washington Post and on CNN that the United States has been systematically overcounting the number of deaths from COVID by including deaths with COVID. The true toll of deaths and hospitalization, she notes, may be as little as 30% of the reported numbers.

Horrifying? Yes. But more reason to fight back, tooth and nail, against any future effort to put kids and adults back in masks — as the feds are trying to do for air travel and as two of New Jersey’s largest school districts have done — or to lock down commerce and social life.

Those policies, which had no significant measurable effect on bad outcomes, were always based on junk science. And Dr. Wen just admitted it for the world to hear. More at Chief COVID crazy finally admits we're overcounting cases — but it's years too late (nypost.com)

Dems are lying: There is no law that says NYC must house the world By Nicole Gelinas

This week, after a pandemic hiatus of more than three years, one of New York’s marquee hotels will reopen its 1,025 rooms to guests.

The Roosevelt Hotel, celebrating its centennial next year, has earned a place in Gotham history.

The stately mid-rise limestone and brick edifice — designed as part of Grand Central Terminal’s Terminal City complex, just steps from the North American long-distance train hub — was home to Guy Lombardo’s band for three decades, hosted New York Gov. Thomas Dewey when he prematurely declared victory over Harry Truman in the 1948 presidential election, and served as Mayor-elect John Lindsay’s victory stage and transition headquarters in 1965.  MORE AT Dems are lying: There is no law that says NYC must house the world (nypost.com)
