Good evening. It’s Friday, May 9.

 

A German father who allegedly imposed an almost four-year Covid lockdown on his three children in a squalid “house of horrors” was a HR manager with a doctorate in philosophy, it has emerged.

Christian Steffen, 53, and his wife Melissa Ann, 48, are accused of imprisoning their eight-year-old twin boys and 10-year-old son in their rented villa in Oviedo, northern Spain, since October 2021.

Officers raided the property on Monday and found a cesspit of a home in which the children were allegedly forced to wear nappies and three medical masks on top of one another.

President Donald Trump on Friday signed an executive order to establish a national center for homeless veterans with redirected funds previously spent on services for illegal aliens, Fox News Digital has reported.

The president’s order directs the secretary of veterans affairs to establish the National Center for Warrior Independence on the Veterans Affairs campus in West Los Angeles.

Los Angeles has approximately 3,000 homeless veterans — more than any other city in the country, and accounting for about 10% of all homeless veterans in America, according to the White House.

The Trump administration is “actively looking at” suspending the constitutional right of habeas corpus in its intensifying fight against illegal immigration, White House Deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller said Friday.

While speaking to reporters outside the White House, Miller said President Donald Trump is considering invoking a constitutional power to suspend habeas corpus, a move not used since former President Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War, to address what the administration has called an “invasion” at the southern border.

“The Constitution is clear, and that, of course, is the supreme law of the land, that the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus can be suspended in time of invasion,” Miller said. “So, I would say that’s an option we’re actively looking at.”

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested by police at Delaney Hall Detention Center, used by Immigration and Customs Enforcement to detain illegal immigrants in his city, for trespassing at the facility.

Two Democratic U.S. Congressmen “stormed” the ICE prison according to the Department of Homeland Security, which said such conduct “goes beyond a bizarre political stunt and puts the safety of our law enforcement agents and detainees at risk.”

“The Mayor of Newark, Ras Baraka, committed trespass and ignored multiple warnings from Homeland Security Investigations to remove himself from the ICE detention center in Newark, New Jersey this afternoon,” Interim U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey Alina Habba, who is also a counselor to President Donald Trump, said in a post on X. “He has willingly chosen to disregard the law. That will not stand in this state. He has been taken into custody. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.”

Jennica Pounds has become perhaps the most prominent personality — after its leader — behind an organization to which she has no direct or official ties: Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency.

And no one even knew her name until about two months ago — by design.

“I’ve always been a recluse, a big introvert,” the 43-year-old mother of two tells The Post from her Utah home. “Being thrust into fame in such a sudden manner, in a polarizing manner, was just shocking.”

Two Frontier Airlines workers have been fired after a video showing a tense exchange between them and a customer who was trying to check into his flight went viral on social media.

According to data from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), approximately 2.9 million people travel by plane in the United States every day.

Frontier Airlines operates over 500 flights every day to approximately 100 destinations and employs over 7,000 people, according to its website.

Charles Barkley bluntly responded to the “stupid” supporters of transgender athletes as the NBA legend voiced his concerns on the controversial debate, saying he won’t change his mind.

“I’m gonna make this very simple for you, Dan. Men should not play sports against women,” Barkley said on Outkick’s “Don’t @ Me” with Dan Dakich Thursday. “I’m not gonna get into all the bulls–t that’s going on out here in the world today.”

The 62-year-old Hall of Famer’s views come as the sports world continues to debate the polarizing subject.

Google agreed to pay nearly $1.4 billion to the state of Texas to settle allegations of violating the data privacy rights of state residents, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said Friday.

Paxton sued Google in 2022 for allegedly unlawfully tracking and collecting the private data of users.

The attorney general said the settlement, which covers allegations in two separate lawsuits against the search engine and app giant, dwarfed all past settlements by other states with Google for similar data privacy violations.
