Empty Boats Arrive At Hunters Point South I really find it disgusting that for weeks I have been watching empty boats, chartered by the Joe Lhota and the MTA for LIRR passengers, arrive and go empty. Almost every boat! The cost has to be in the millions. First they are renting the boats, some from far far away. Then they had to renovate the docks and put in new gates. This was not cheep. Then they have several buses waiting for the passengers that will never arrive and the buses still drive their route empty. You also have the MTA police called here for empty boats as well as dock men and woman to work the gates. Then you have some MTA guy with a clipboard marking the times each boat comes and goes and how many people are riding. Must be hard for him, each boat trip he writes zero. The Department Of Transportation (DOT). The list is endless and this has been going on for weeks now. They also took away dozens of parking spaces that they do not even use. Empty MTA

New York Post Trump Cover In the latest episode of “Survivor: White House,” the West Wing descended into chaos Thursday, as President Trump and his top aides turned on one another like vicious reality-show divas — with no one sure who would be the next to get a knife in their back.

The Amazing Kreskin Our friend The Amazing Kreskin sent us this e-mail the other day, offering OJ Simpson a challenge. We think this could be a great idea for a television show. It’s appropriate today that I reintroduce the offer and challenge that I made OJ Simpson in 1999, regarding the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole and Ron Goldman. In the past 24 hours, interest and reference to the most covered murder trial in US history has been re-awakened for obvious reasons. In 1999 I sent a letter, delivered to Simpson’s attorney, Johnny Cochran. In essence my challenge to Simpson was “Walk with me, talk with me, and I’ll reveal who murdered your ex-wife, Nicole”. This was not a frivolous scenario. It’s been forgotten that in 1995, OJ had the “generous” nerve to offer a reward for information leading to his ex-wife’s killer! Believe it or not, no one came through with any offer. As a result of this, I made a challenge to OJ to help him “prove your innoce

He and ex Kourtney Kardashian, with whom she shares three kids, have been broken up for two years. He is often seen partying with women showed some PDA with a few of them, including actress Bella Thorne, during a whirlwind 34th birthday trip to Cannes and other parts of Europe several weeks ago.

"I would say I think it's a little rude that everybody keeps addressing me as a sex addict," Scott told E! News exclusively Saturday at the LIQUID day club at the Aria Hotel and Resort in Las Vegas. "I just like sex, but I'm not a sex addict. I said that in a humorous, joking fashion on the show and now I'm getting billed as one, and it's not the case. I do like sex,
