NY restaurant leaves vulgar note on bill to group of elderly gals lunching
An 87-year-old grandmother and six of her elderly friends were appalled when their waitress dropped a check labeling their table 'Old bitches' at an upstate restaurant.
The seniors had been lunching at the casual cafe Deacon Blues in Watervliet, near Albany, on June 27 when the food fight flared up, according to a copy of the bill posted on Facebook.

'My 87-year-old Mimi and her friends went to Deacon Blues for lunch — a place they've been to many times. But this time, they were completely disrespected. When the bill came, the receipt labeled their table as 'Old b*tches,'' Keira DiNuzzo, one of the women's granddaughters, fumed on Facebook.
'This is how you treat elderly women — loyal customers?' she wrote. 'Deacon Blues, you owe them an apology.'

The group of seven ordered $12.50 worth of food, including a BLT sandwich and coffee, during the Friday lunch rush at 1:30 p.m. — one indication why the server, identified as Monica, may have been miffed, according to the check.

The waitress first clashed with the elderly gals when she learned that three people in the group couldn't make it, prompting her to allegedly snap, 'Well, it would be nice to let me know in the future,' according to DiNuzzo.
When the seniors sent back a water with 'something black floating' in it, the server allegedly 'responded with rudeness and no concern whatsoever,' according to DiNuzzo.

One of the restaurant's owners, Helen Wilkinson, apologized in a comment under DiNuzzo's post.

'We at Deacon Blues profusely apologize for the actions of our employees. Please do not think we condone this behavior toward our customers,' she wrote.
'Our customer base consists of many loyal senior customers who have made our business grow and have the utmost respect for them.'

NYC Board of Elections asks Brooklyn DA to launch voter fraud investigation after Post expose
The city Board of Elections asked Brooklyn prosecutors to open an investigation into possible voter fraud Friday after The Post revealed two absentee ballots in a close primary council race were cast on behalf of deceased people. The BOE said it was asking the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office to look into two incidents surrounding the District 47 race, including the votes cast in the name of people who died over a decade ago and another 22 ballots that were deemed as 'potentially fraudulent.' The BOE didn't say what made the more than two dozen ballots suspicious, but that the votes had been invalidated following an internal investigation, which was then referred to the Brooklyn DA. Advertisement 3 After The Post revealed two absentee ballots were cast on behalf of two deceased individuals in a close primary council race, an investigation has been launched to determine possible voter fraud. Michael Nagle The razor-thin margin primary between Brooklyn Republican Party Chair Richie Barsamian and entrepreneur George Sarantopoulos could be decided by only a handful of votes. Unofficial election night tallies had a mere 32-vote difference between the two candidates. The 22 ballots were discovered during a manual recount process earlier this week a source told The Post, adding that lawyers from the BOE had been reviewing them in recent days. Advertisement Sarantopoulos was maintaining a 16-vote lead as of Friday, gaining two ballots in a manual recount that started Tuesday, sources said. He had been maintaining a 14-vote lead as of Wednesday, according to a statement from his campaign. A source who spoke to Barasamian — who as head of the Brooklyn GOP gets to appoint BOE employees — about The Post's original reporting Tuesday, said that the candidate confided he was 'very worried.' The Barasamian campaign did not respond to a request for comment Friday.

Facebook/ George Sarantopoulous Sources said multiple people from the Brooklyn BOE who were involved in the south Brooklyn GOP primary had been reassigned from their roles during the internal investigation. 'The workers from that section were reassigned pending the results of the investigation,' Brooklyn Democratic BOE Commish and retired NYPD detective Frank Seddio told The Post. Personal devices and computers were seized from BOE employees as part of the probe, sources said.

Luiz C. Ribeiro for New York Post 'While any attempt to compromise the electoral process is deeply troubling, this case underscores the strength of the Board's existing safeguards,' the BOE said in a news release. 'These irregularities were identified early, investigated thoroughly, and resolved swiftly – demonstrating the Board's commitment to upholding the integrity of our elections.' A representative for the BK DA said the office doesn't comment on investigations. The Sarantopoulous campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Inside Jeffrey Epstein's cozy relationship with Steve Bannon — and what's really on his 15 hrs of tapes interviewing him
By 2017 Jeffrey Epstein was a social pariah. Even his right-hand woman, Ghislaine Maxwell, attempted to reinvent herself as a charity boss and was careful to no longer be pictured with the convicted sex offender. But as an avalanche of reports uncovered more lurid details of Epstein's world of questionable financial dealings and proclivities for sex with underage girls, he had one regular visitor at his huge townhouse at East 71st street — Steve Bannon. Conspiracy theorist and media provocateur Bannon felt he could help the disgraced money man improve his image, sources say, despite how laughable that may have seemed. 7 Jeffrey Epstein backed the 'Me Too' movement in a clip from interview footage taken by Steve Bannon in 2019 and obtained by The Post. It certainly didn't hurt that Epstein could add him to his payroll — Bannon had recently fallen foul of President Trump by criticizing his family in a book and abruptly left his position as chief strategist at the White House. This resulted in his deep-pocketed benefactors cutting him off. Bannon ultimately collected some 15 hours of footage of Epstein, to prepare him to go on '60 Minutes' or another prime-time television show to save his reputation in 2018. 'He told me he has like 15 or 16 hours of videotape of Jeff,' said Epstein's brother Mark in an interview with NBC earlier this month, adding he had met with Bannon after Epstein's death and asked to see the tapes. 'He was trying to help Jeff rehabilitate his reputation.' 7 Steve Bannon recorded more than 15 hours of interviews with Jeffrey Epstein in 2019 for a documentary that was never released. Bloomberg via Getty Images Previous reports have confirmed the tapes were of Epstein preparing to bolster his reputation, but in the clamor to release government files on Epstein — who was found hanging in his Manhattan prison cell in August 2019 as he awaited trial over sex trafficking charges — many are wondering why Bannon has not been compelled to release the tapes. In a bid to hype up what he has, earlier this year Bannon was hawking the tapes as a documentary, saying he had hoped to get Netflix involved and call the show 'The Monster'. '[Epstein's] a product of the elite,' he said on the Jimmy Dore show in February. 'Everything that's been put out about him is not exactly the truth. I hours of interviews that I think will be pretty shocking, about how this guy came from nowhere to go to the absolute highest levels of global elite and who he knew and who he financed. 'He was one of the leading underwriters of scientific experiments in the world, a lot of that is dealing with a thing called Transhumanism.' 7 Jeffrey Epstein in a clip from Bannon's documentary footage. 7 The interviews that Steve Bannon recorded with Jeffrey Epstein took place at the billionaire pedophile's mansion on Manhattan's Upper East Side. Christopher Sadowski 7 MAGA loyalists are demanding that government files related to Jeffrey Epstein be released by the Trump administration. Epstein partied with numerous bold-face names, including the President Trump in the 1990s and early aughts. Getty Images Bannon did not return The Post's request for comment Friday. Only one clip of the footage has ever been released, which was obtained by The Post. In the video Epstein somewhat unbelievably claimed to be a 'firm believer and supporter' of Time's Up, the anti-sexual harassment organization that emerged during the #MeToo movement. 'I made my living from old thinking. But the future is for the way women think,' says Epstein in the clip. Bannon – apparently playing the role of a hard-nosed interviewer – counters from off-screen that Epstein's claim was just 'a sop' to excuse 'all of the depravity you've done against young women.' 'No, I've been — I've always believed that women will be, in fact, be able to take over,' Epstein responds in the clip, adding 'I'm a firm believer and supporter of 'Time's Up.'' Bannon, a film producer, former investment banker at Goldman Sachs and executive one-time chairman at media company Breitbart, had more in common with Epstein, a former math teacher who also had a brief stint on Wall Street, than most. 7 Another rarely-seen close-up of Epstein from the footage Bannon collected. Victory Films/The Monsters 7 Bannon speaking in New York in 2024 shortly after he was released from prison following his sentence for contempt of Congress. Robert Miller Although the first reports of their association only date back to 2017, it is possible they knew each other much longer. 'The War Room' host Bannon's activities with Epstein have been questioned by other political strategists. 'Why would Bannon meet with Jeffrey Epstein both at his New York home and in Paris after Epstein was convicted on sex crimes in Florida?' said Roger Stone in an X post earlier this month. 'Why would he coach Epstein for his 60 minutes appearance?' Darren Indyke, Epstein's longtime personal attorney and an executor of his estate, did not return a request for comment Friday.

Trump admin hunts down 13K migrant kids after Biden admin lost track of 320K: ‘Children are being saved'
The Trump administration has located and rescued more than 13,000 migrant children who crossed the border without parents — after more than 320,000 kids were lost under the Biden administration, The Post has learned. The tough-on-immigration admin has also collared hundreds of migrant sponsors who are accused of committing disturbing crimes or abusing the children in their care. In one frightening case, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Newark arrested a sponsor who was found to be a Guatemalan fugitive wanted for two counts of attempted aggravated homicide in his home country. Advertisement Adelso Garcia Martinez, 29, was busted on May 13. 'It is deplorable to imagine that a wanted fugitive would find illegal shelter in the United States with a child in tow and later go on to sponsor another alien,' ICE HSI Newark Special Agent in Charge Ricky Patel said after the arrest. 3 ICE agents in Newark arrested a Guatemalan unaccompanied alien child sponsor wanted overseas for attempted aggravated homicide. ICE A shocking report released in August found that the Biden-Harris administration lost track of more than 320,000 migrant children who crossed the US-Mexico border alone. Advertisement The unaccompanied migrants were released into the US without future immigration court dates — meaning there is no way to track their whereabouts — or they failed to show up to court. Thousands of the kids were also released to sponsors who were poorly vetted, meaning the vulnerable minors were put at risk of sex trafficking, forced labor, and other forms of exploitation, the Homeland Security Inspector General's report said. In February, President Trump's Department of Health and Human Services announced it was launching an investigation into the troubling number of cases of unaccompanied migrant children who may have ended up in the hands of sexual predators and human traffickers because of lax vetting policies. Advertisement 'Children are being saved,' a Trump administration official told The Post of the effort to locate the kids lost under the previous administration. 3 Migrant group, including women and children, crossing the US border. Toby Canham for NY Post In another sickening case, a 15-year-old girl was rescued in New York after an Ecuadorian man impregnated her and then had his mother sponsor her so they could live together, the Department of Homeland Security told The Post. The sicko, who was not named, had been in a relationship with the child since she was 13 years old and had impregnated her before she crossed the southern border unaccompanied, the agency said. Advertisement His mom sponsored the teen in Harlem, where the trio lived together. Homeland Security agents in New York arrested the child predator on May 28. An HHS source told NewsNation that under the Trump admin, ICE had arrested 422 sponsors who are accused of abusing the minors in their care, or of other crimes. 3 Migrants sleeping in an El Paso shelter. James Breeden/Shutterstock for NY Post 'By leaving our borders open and even encouraging people to come here illegally, Biden enabled the largest human-trafficking operation in modern history,' Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in a statement to The Post on Friday. 'We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to eradicate human trafficking operations targeting the United States. Under the leadership of President Donald Trump, and working together at every level of government, we can win this fight. And we will,' she added. Child migrants who cross the border illegally without parents are apprehended by border agents and handed off to HHS, which helps them locate their US sponsors. Sponsors of migrant minors don't have to be family members. The rescued migrant children are either reunited with their families in their home countries or are placed into HHS foster care, sources told The Post. Advertisement President Trump's 'border czar' Tom Homan also recently detailed some of the upsetting cases involving kids on Miranda Devine's 'Pod Force One' podcast. 'We rescued victims of sex trafficking [and] two weeks ago, we rescued a 14-year-old that was already pregnant, living with adult men,' he said. 'We rescued some victims of forced labor. We found children working on ranches and chicken farms, not going to school, but enslaved labor in the United States of America,' he continued. 'Some of the children we found [were] perfectly fine with their families … They just didn't respond to call-ins [because they] didn't want to face the consequences of immigration court.' Advertisement Even after receiving briefings on the horrific cases involving migrant minors, the Biden admin allegedly took 'no meaningful steps' to address the issue, according to the Homeland Security Inspector General's report.
