New York Post, Wednesday, July 13, 2022

If you’ve ever felt “hangry,”
your emotions have now been
scientifically validated.
A new study published in the
peer-reviewed journal PLOS
One examined the relationship
between hunger and anger.
“Being hangry is real,” the
study declares.
Viren Swami, the lead author
of the study, became interested
in the phenomenon of being
“hangry” — the colloquial term
for becoming angry when hun-
gry — after his wife told him he
behaved that way but wasn’t
sure it was real.

study relied on self-reporting as
an assessment of hunger, with
participants recording their feel-
ings and feelings of hunger on a
smartphone application.
“Self-reports of hunger . . . are
meaningful in the context of
emotionality,” Swami said.
“Because self-reported hunger
likely depends on an awareness
of hunger cues, it can perhaps be
assumed that it reflects the ex-
tent to which physiological ef-
fects of hunger have translated
into awareness and attributional
processes.”

Results showed that higher
levels of hunger were associated
with greater feelings of anger

Gov. Hoch: With girl in hosp from

Qualified-immunity dodge
By ZaCh WiLLiaMS,
Tina Moore, Larry
CeLona and BruCe GoLdinG
Gov. Hochul refuses to take a
stand on the issue of “qualified
immunity” for cops — prompting
challenger Lee Zeldin to accuse
her of lacking a “moral compass”
amid surging crime that has New
Yorkers on edge.
Ahead of the November elec-
tion, Hochul has been cagey
when it comes to
the legal doctrine
that shields law en-
forcement officers
from liability in
civil suits alleging
misconduct.
New York City
eliminated qualified
immunity for the
NYPD last year but
several similar
measures intro-
duced in the state
Legislature died in committee
when its most recent session
ended last month.
In a questionnaire submitted to
Manhattan’s Jim Owles Liberal
Democratic Club before the June
28 Democratic primary, Hochul
said she “supports efforts to in-
crease accountability and trans-
parency in law enforcement,”
suggesting that she favored elimi-
nating qualified immunity.
But when asked by The Post for
clarification on the governor’s
position, a spokesperson declined
to elaborate, saying only that Ho-
chul “will review the legislation if
it passes both houses.”
The spokesperson would not
provide a direct answer when
pressed Tuesday on whether Ho-
chul would veto or sign such a
bill.
National Police Foundation
President Michael Palladino
called Hochul’s waffling “a sure
indication she prefers to lead
from the back.”
“Stripping cops of qualified im-
munity spells even more trouble
for innocent, law-abiding New
Yorkers because it discourages
cops from engaging
on the public’s be-
half while encour-
aging an already
emboldened crimi-
nal population,”
said Palladino, a
former head of the
NYPD’s detectives
union.
In contrast, Re-
publican candidate
Zeldin’s campaign
platform says flatly
that the outgoing Long Island
congressman would “keep quali-
fied immunity.”
“Our amazing men and women
in blue should be allowed to do
their jobs without having to sec-
ond guess themselves all day
long, worrying that anyone and
everyone they cross paths with
may sue them personally for any-
thing,” Zeldin said Tuesday.
The GOP candidate slammed
the governor’s silence, saying:
“Hochul doesn’t take positions
based on any moral compass.
“She just flaps away in the wind,
only disclosing her positions
when her political 8-Ball reveals
what she should say and do next.”
ginia teen struck by stray gunfire
on a Bronx playground slammed
city leaders Tuesday for not doing
enough to stop “stupid violence
and crazy crime” in the Big Apple.
“The mayor and police commis-
sioner are not doing enough,
they’re leaving it up to the com-
munity,” raged Russ Thomas,
whose 17-year-old daughter, Tami-
yah, is in intensive care at Harlem
Hospital for a graze wound to her
head, after the bullet narrowly
missed piercing her skull.

night.
Thomas, the brother of
late Bronx rapper Fred the

turning Yellow
By Ben Kesslen
and MAryAnn MArtinez
Cops responding to the Uvalde,
Texas, school shooting ran away
from gunshots while 19 children
and two teachers were left to die
in their classrooms, according to
new footage of their botched re-
sponse to the attack published
Tuesday.
The disturbing video, obtained
by the Austin American-States-
man, shows how police officers
dillydallied in the hallway of
Robb Elementary School instead
of charging after gunman Salva-
dor Ramos as he systematically
slaughtered 21 people on May 24.
The 77-minute clip shows offi-
cers rushing into the school just
minutes after 18-year-old Ramos
began his rampage, but rather
than confront him, they stopped
and lingered — with one cop in a
helmet and vest even seen using a
wall-mounted hand sanitizer and
checking his phone.
The officers also are captured
fleeing down the hallway when
Ramos fires in their direction, ac-
cording to the footage taken from
school security cameras.
The video validates damning
reports that local and state au-
thorities failed to take immediate
action to stop the bloodbath de-
spite being just yards from the
shooter.
Heavily armed officers are seen
in the video walking around in
the hallway, leaving, coming back,
talking to each other and making
calls during precious moments
when they could have been trying
to thwart Ramos.
It is not until 77 minutes into
the recording that cops finally
breach the classroom where Ra-
mos, who died in the attack, had
gunned down the innocent kids
and teachers.
The footage also shows the
cops’ fruitless hunt for keys to the
classroom — which turned out to
not even have been locked.

Bragg tells upset bodega group he’s open

sway on
jose By Kyle Schnitzer
and GaBrielle FonrouGe
Embattled Manhattan District Attorney
Alvin Bragg told a group of bodega owners
Tuesday that there is “absolutely” a chance
he may drop the murder charge against
worker Jose Alba, although he left himself
plenty of wiggle room to still continue with
the controversial case.
Bragg has been barraged from all sides,
including by Mayor Adams, for charging
Alba even though surveillance video
clearly shows the Manhattan worker being
attacked by an ex-con, whom the clerk
ended up fatally stabbing in alleged self-
defense.
The United Bodegas of America’s closed-
door sit-down with Bragg (below) at his
Manhattan office was “very, very good,”
with the DA telling the group that Alba, 61,
could see charges against him dropped,
Fernando Mateo, the group’s rep, said after-
ward.
“We felt very good because his tone was
very soothing. His demeanor was very di-
rect, and he said, ‘I don’t understand why
people are jumping to conclusions. I have
not made a determination. I am investigat-
ing,’ ” Mateo recalled Bragg saying when
asked about Alba’s case.
“I asked, ‘Do the possibilities exist that
you will drop these charges?’ And he said,
‘Absolutely.’ ”
On July 1, Alba was toiling
behind the counter at
Blue Moon convenience
store in Hamilton
Heights when Austin
Simon, 35, attacked
him after his girl-
friend got into an
argument
with the worker over a bag of chips she
was unable to pay for.
As Alba was being attacked, he stabbed
Simon five times and killed him — an ac-
tion he told The Post on Monday he re-
grets and is sorry for, while insisting it was
all in the interest of self-defense.
During Monday’s meeting, Bragg talked
to the bodega owners about a range of out-
comes still on the table, Mateo said.
“He explained to us the entire routine of
what happens when a crime or a supposed
crime is committed and what happens after
that. We’re very hopeful that Jose Alba’s
case will be dismissed, will be dropped by
the district attorney,” Mateo said.
“He has not made that determination yet
but he certainly left the doors and the win-
dows open for something like that to hap-
pen. So we must sit and wait, not get impa-
tient and not jump to conclusions.”
Workers’ self-defense plea
Francisco Marte, the founder of the Bo-
dega and Small Business Association, told
The Post he’s been in touch with Bragg’s
office and his team called him on Tuesday
to set up another meet with Alba’s sup-
porters.
The UBA also asked Bragg his thoughts
on whether city bodega workers should be
able to use a “Stand Your Ground” defense
similar to the statute in Florida. The group

also asked Bragg if he supports workers

Court ruled New Yorkers can carry guns

Mateo claimed Bragg said he supports

to dropping Alba murder rap
By GaBrielle FonrouGe
Surveillance footage captured the
events that led to a deadly confron-
tation between a Manhattan bodega
clerk and his assailant earlier this
month.
A first clip, released by the NYPD
on July 5, showed ex-con Austin Si-
mon, 35, shoving store clerk Jose
Alba, 61, against the wall (3, 4) after
walking behind the register of the
Blue Moon convenience store in Ha-
milton Heights on July 1.
The clip showed Alba attempting
to walk away after being shoved (5),
then plunging a knife into Simon’s
neck and torso repeatedly as the two
wrestled with each other (6, 7, 8, 9).
Alba has insisted he stabbed Simon
out of self-defense.
On Saturday, a new video was re-
leased that shows Alba attempting to
avoid a confrontation with Simon
moments before the stabbing.
“Papa, I don’t want a problem,
papa,” Alba is heard telling Simon as
he walks behind the counter (1).
As Simon approaches Alba (2),
he’s heard demanding: “What’s up
with you? N----r, what is wrong with
you?”
The fatal stabbing happened mo-
ments later.
On Sunday, The Post obtained
more video from a different angle
that showed the moment Alba was
apparently slashed by Simon’s girl-
friend as he stabbed her beau. The
footage appeared to show Simon’s
gal pal pulling a knife from her
purse, attempting to grab Alba’s arm
and then stabbing him (10, 11).
The video showed Alba holding
the bloody knife (12).
At a later point, the girlfriend is
seen crying and apparently trying to
revive Simon (13).

‘N
OT a whisper.” That was
Ohio Attorney General
Dave Yost, saying that
his search for a notori-
New York Post, Wednesday, July 13, 2022
ous child rape case in his state had
turned up nothing.
That is odd given the vast cover-
age by the media, and even con-
demnation of the president of the
United States, of the supposed
case of a 10-year-old girl raped and
impregnated in Ohio and forced to
seek an abortion in Indiana.
What is even stranger than the
utter lack of confirmation of the
story is the utter lack of interest in
confirming it — or in the welfare
of the child herself. We have little
proof that the story is true despite
some significant legal and factual
questions.
The story of the child rape
united the nation in revulsion, but
also became the rallying point for
the denunciation of the Supreme
Court, including in comments by
President Biden. In his White
House address, Biden decried that
this child “was forced to have to
travel out of the state to Indiana to
seek to terminate the pregnancy
and maybe save her life. Ten years
old — 10 years old! — raped, 6
weeks pregnant, already trauma-
tized, was forced to travel to an-
other state.”
‘Hard to imagine’
The president used the story to
attack the Supreme Court and ask,
“What century are they in?”
The media also exhaustively
covered the story. It was written
up everywhere, from Israel to
Bangladesh. On MSNBC, Joy Reid
declared, “It is hard to imagine
anything more cruel, more dis-
turbing than forcing a child, a 10-
year-old still playing with fidget
toys and tablets, to carry her fa-
ther or her brother’s child to term
or forcing her to travel across
state lines for an abortion. And
yet, here we are.”
But are we?
The story remains based entirely
on an account from Dr. Caitlin Ber-
nard, an obstetrician-gynecologist
in Indianapolis. Indianapolis Star
reporter Shari Rudavsky reported
that, “On Monday three days after
the Supreme Court issued its
groundbreaking decision to over-
turn Roe v. Wade, [Bernard], an In-
dianapolis obstetrician-gynecolo-
gist, took a call from a colleague, a
child abuse doctor in Ohio.”
Bernard told her that immedi-
ately after “the Buckeye State had
outlawed any abortion after six
weeks [she] had a 10-year-old pa-
tient in the office who was six
weeks and three days pregnant.”
She then explained how Bernard
performed the abortion.
When the story ran, some of us
noted that the Ohio law actually
doc

Caitlin Bernard

does not prohibit abortions after
six weeks but after “fetal heart-
beat has been detected.” Being
three days over the six-week line
is not a bar on abortion. More im-
portantly, it also has exceptions
for cases like this one.
In fact, Ohio says abortions are
allowed “to prevent a serious risk
of the substantial and irreversible
impairment of a major bodily
function of the pregnant woman,”
which would certainly be the case
for a 10-year-old.
Even Yost (who is pro-life) said
that this abortion clearly fit within
the exceptions and could be le-
gally performed in Ohio.
Single-source story
Yost, however, was equally curi-
ous about the absence of a crimi-
nal case. Under Ohio law, any
such case must be reported to po-
lice and Yost’s office would likely
be involved in any DNA testing
that is common in such cases. He
said that his staff could not find a
single police report or a lab case.
Indiana law also requires medi-
cal professionals like Dr. Bernard
to report such cases. So both the
“child abuse doctor” and Dr. Ber-
nard were presumably under an
obligation to report the rape.
Various news organizations
have tried to get Dr. Bernard to
confirm a few of these basic facts,
which can be addressed without
revealing the name or specifics of
the patient. After all, it was Dr.
Bernard who went public with the
story and later went on television
with MSNBC to discuss the con-
troversy and “what does it feel
like on your end of that phone
call?”
Even liberal newspapers like
The Washington Post could not
get any new information from Dr.
Bernard. The Post’s “fact checker”
Glenn Kessler noted in his column
that the Indianapolis Star story
did not meet basic journalistic
standards and that the lead re-
porter Rudavsky also refused to
answer basic questions. Kessler
noted “the only source cited for
the anecdote was Bernard. She’s
on the record, but there is no indi-
cation that the newspaper made
other attempts to confirm her ac-
count.”
If this story is true, there is a
child rapist who is still at large.
Alternatively, if this was a family
member, a child may be living in
the same house as her rapist.
There have been a number of
Twitter
false or inaccurate claims made
about abortion law and the Dobbs
decision, including false claims
that women can be prevented
from traveling for medical care or
that ectopic pregnancy treatments
are now barred as abortion in
some states.
Dangerous disinfo
False accounts can be a danger-
ous form of disinformation if
women believe that they cannot
receive treatment for legal proce-
dures.
Moreover, given the possible
risk to this and other children
from this rapist, the president and
these media outlets should be
calling for confirmation and an in-
tervention in this story. The only
thing that is “harder to imagine”
than such a denial of medical ser-
vices for this child would be the
decision to let her fend for herself
or just return to the same danger-
ous conditions.
Whether this is a case of crimi-
nal victimization or political ex-
ploitation, we should all be moti-
vated to find out the truth.

to ‘unify’
Calls to shift direction
By Callie Patteson
President Biden’s success-
ful 2020 campaign was
based on the theme of unity.
As recently as last week, the
commander in chief was
telling audiences he had
sought the nation’s highest
office to “unify the country.”
Biden also vowed to take
responsibility as president,
promising in an August 2020
Twitter post he would not
resort to “blaming others.”
However, nearly a year
and a half on the job,
Biden’s message has shifted.
He’s repeatedly ripped Re-
publicans over the failure of
the Democratic-led House
and Senate to pass strict
gun-control legislation, fed-
eral abortion protections
and election reform; labeled
former President Donald
Trump’s Make America
Great Again movement the
“most extreme” in recent
US history; and accused oil
companies of not doing
enough to fight soaring gas
prices.
As the president has
lashed out, his approval rat-
ings have dropped — hitting
an average of 37.7% as of
Tuesday. As a result, both
Democrats and Republicans
have pushed for the White
House to change its tactics
— but want Biden to move
in opposite directions.
Jill’s ‘taco’ belt
The White House issued
an apology on behalf of Jill
Biden Tuesday after she was
ripped by Hispanic lawmak-
ers and interest groups for
comparing the ethnic
group’s diversity to food.
“The First Lady apologizes
that her words conveyed any-
thing but pure admiration
and love for the Latino com-
munity,” Jill Biden spokesper-
son Michael LaRosa tweeted.
Speaking Monday at a con-
invasion
“Almost nine out of 10 of
our fellow citizens think
he’s on the wrong track, so
that’s a little bigger than just
the unity issue,” Rep. Jim
Jordan (R-Ohio) told The
Post. “It’s just because ev-
erything they’ve done has
been terrible.”
Plays blame game
“Joe Biden . . . he said he
would unify the country,
that he would take respon-
sibility — but when things
start going bad, you know,
he blames Trump, then he
blames Russia for the $5
gas, now he’s just blaming
Republicans,” continued
Jordan, predicting that one
day Biden will “just start
blaming the country [and]
start blaming the American

people he’s supposed to be
serving.”
Rep. Henry Cuellar
(D-Texas) told The Post
that Biden’s actions while
president appear to be part
of a pattern of moderate-
leaning candidates getting
elected to office and com-
ing under the spell of a
combative base.

“just passing in transit.”
Then there is Germany’s sup-
posed “turning point,” or Zeiten-
wende, announced by Scholz days
after the beginning of Russia’s
“special military operation.” Ob-
servers of German defense policy
note that the reality leaves a lot
to be desired — not only has aid
to Ukraine been deliberately
slow-walked, but the German
government is not even following
up on its own commitments to
strengthen Germany’s defense
forces. According to some met-
rics, the country’s defense budget
might well start falling from next
year onwards.
While not as entangled with
Russia economically, France is
not covering itself in glory either.
For a flavor of the French debate,
invasion
consider the views of Hubert Vé-
drine, France’s former foreign
minister. Lithuania’s restrictions
on transit to Kaliningrad, based
on EU law, “were useless,” while
“Boris Johnson’s posturing at G7
was “irresponsible” and driven
“by a desire to profit from the
current conflict by weakening
Russia.”
“The day will come,” the French
grandee reminds us as Russians
are kidnapping troves of Ukrain-
ian civilians to Russia and engi-
neering a global famine, “when
we will have to reinvent a peace-
ful coexistence with Russia.”
True enough, except that terms
of such coexistence will be a
function of Russia’s relative
power — something that the
West with the help of Ukrainians
has a unique opportunity to de-
grade, reducing thus the threat
that a revanchist Russia poses to
the world for a generation.
Is Védrine a fringe voice? Not
at all — he is close to Emmanuel
Macron, and the French presi-
dent even appointed him in 2020
to represent France on an inter-
national panel on NATO’s future.
His own thinking mirrors Ma-
cron’s closely, as illustrated by
the recent, behind-the-scenes
documentary about France’s re-
sponse to the invasion. In a scene
shot on the train to Kyiv in June,
Macron lambasts the “Anglo-Sax-
ons” who want to “wipe out Rus-
sia” while being comfortable sub-
jecting himself to weekly phone
calls with Putin, in which he was
being fed unhinged lies.

President Biden came to office
with the promise of bringing
America “back” and restoring its
fraying alliances. Yet as Germany
and France are slowly peeling off
the coalition of countries sup-
porting Ukraine, the administra-
tion is just a passive observer.
Worse yet, some within the
White House are likely awaiting
the end of hostilities, regardless
of its effect on Ukraine and the
rules-based international system,
with as much eagerness as French
and German political elites.
The West needs to do better —
not just for Ukraine’s sake but also
for the sake of its own security.

Hours earlier, on the night of
Dec. 18, Trump met secretly in
the Oval Office with a group that
included his election attorneys
Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell,
as well as former national secu-
rity adviser Michael Flynn and
former Overstock CEO Patrick
Byrne.
Within 10 or 15 minutes, in
Powell’s recollection, the group
was joined by White House law-
yers, including lead counsel Pat
Cipollone — who Powell said
“set a new land speed record”
reaching them.
The shouting after could be
heard outside the Oval Office,
AP
White House aides testified.
“Where is the evidence?” Cip-
ollone demanded of the Giuliani
faction. Another White House
lawyer, Eric Herschmann, re-
called challenging Powell about
her string of court defeats con-
testing the election results.
“She says, ‘Well, the judges are
corrupt,’ ” he said in a pre-re-
corded deposition. “I’m like, ‘Ev-
ery one? Every single case that
you’ve done in the country that
you guys lost? Every one of them
is corrupt? Even the ones we ap-
pointed?’ ”
At another point, Herschmann
said, he almost came to blows
with Powell’s ally, attorney Lin
Wood.
“Lin screamed at me that I was
a quitter and everything, he kept
on standing up and turning
around and screaming at me,”
Herschmann said. “And at a cer-
tain point, I’d had it with him, so I
yelled back, ‘Either come over or
sit your f--king ass back down!’ ”
Trump, however, was more re-
ceptive to the theories of Giuli-
ani, Powell and Flynn — and ac-
cused his White House counsel’s
office of not being “tough
enough.”
Or, as Giuliani remembered
Trump saying: “You’re a bunch of
pu--ies.”
At one point, the outside legal
team presented a draft executive
order that would name Powell a
special counsel with power to
seize voting machines based on
her claims of evidence of foreign
meddling.
“To have the federal govern-
ment seize voting machines?”
Cipollone told the panel in an in-
terview recorded last week.
“That’s a terrible idea for the
country. That’s not how we do
things in the United States.”
The panel showed graphic and
violent text messages and played
videos of right-wing figures, in-

In vulgar and often racist lan-
guage, supporters predicted may-
hem — a “red wedding,” said one
in a reference to the notorious
“Game of Thrones” episode fea-
turing a mass killing. “Bring

The hearing’s second half fo-
cused on testimony from Jason
Van Tatenhove, a onetime Oath
Keepers militia group spokes-
man, and Stephen Ayres, a Capi-
tol riot participant.
Van Tatenhove told the com-
mittee that after reflecting on
Jan. 6, he fears what could hap-
pen if Trump is elected president
again in 2024.
The committee is expected to
hold another hearing next week
focusing on Trump’s inaction as

Fewer than half of Republican

President Donald Trump if the
GOP primary were held today, ac-
cording to a new poll — which
also shows the 45th president los-

young voters
and those
with at least
a college de-
gree.
The New

Siena Col-
lege survey
shows Trump (inset) has the
backing of 49% of Republican vot-
ers, followed by Florida Gov. Ron
DeSantis at 25%.
Of the other named alternatives
to Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz
(R-Texas) received 7% support,
former Vice President Mike
Pence and US Ambassador to the
UN Nikki Haley got 6% each, and
former Secretary of State Mike
Pompeo got 2%.
Of the remainder, 5% either said
they didn’t know whom they
would support or refused to an-
swer the question, while 1% said
they would support someone
else.
Trump’s support skews toward
an older, less-schooled demo-
graphic. Among primary voters
under the age of 35, 64% said they
would not vote for Trump, as did
65% of those voters who have at
least a college degree.

Don ‘called’
Jan. 6 witness
Former President Donald
Trump tried to phone a witness in
the House Select Committee’s
Capitol riot investigation, Rep. Liz
Cheney (R-Wyo.) revealed Tues-
day.
“That person declined to an-
swer or respond to President
Trump’s call and instead alerted
their lawyer,” added Cheney.
“Their lawyer alerted us and the
committee has supplied that in-
formation to the Department of
Justice.”
Cheney did not ID the witness
apart from saying their testimony
had not been part of the public
hearings and the attempted call by
Trump took place after the panel’s
previous hearing June 28.
There was no immediate re-
sponse from the 45th president.

NYONE looking for an ex-
A ample of how crime is kill-
ing the soul of New York
need look no further than
the case of Jose Alba. The
outrageous arrest of the bodega
worker who fatally stabbed a career
criminal while defending himself
perfectly illustrates the random
danger of city life and the ass-back-
wardness of the criminal justice
system.
The dead man, Austin Simon,
was a thug who attacked the 61-
year-old Alba, who was working
alone at night in the small store on
Broadway and 139th Street. Simon,
35, was on probation for assault and
reportedly had been arrested at
least 27 times previously.
Yes, you read that right, 27 ar-
rests, and Simon reportedly did a
stint in state prison for assaulting a
cop. Yet there he was, free to hassle
and attack an innocent man doing
an honest job in a dangerous neigh-
borhood.
In a sane and more just world,
Alba never would have been
charged. After all, any of the belea-
guered citizens tired of living in
fear and sick of the politicians who
protect the guilty could end up in a
situation similar to the one Alba
faced.
Yet instead of recognizing Alba’s
right of self-defense, Manhattan
District Attorney Alvin Bragg pre-
dictably wants to lock him up.
Bragg’s first move after charging
Alba with second-degree murder
was to push for bail of $500,000,
which a judge cut in half.
Thankfully, it was later reduced
to a bond of $5,000 and Alba was
able to go home. There he told The
Post, “At that moment, I was in
shock,” he said in Spanish. “I didn’t
know what to do and what to say. I
feel very sad.”
Asked if he had a message for the
dead man’s family, Alba said he was
sorry and “I ask that they please
forgive me because I didn’t want to
do that.”
Those are hardly the sentiments
of a killer, but Bragg wasn’t finished
making a mockery of the law. He
decided not to charge the attacker’s
unidentified girlfriend even though
store video shows her pulling a
knife from her purse and stabbing
Alba three times as the two men
fought.
The prosecutor assigned to the
case, Jennifer Sigall, told investiga-
tors the girlfriend was “justified in
stabbing Mr. Alba, using force to
stop his assault on the victim,” ac-
cording to a police report obtained
by Fox News.
That’s nuts — and a window into
the upside-down values in Bragg’s
office. The DA sees Simon as the
victim, and so the girlfriend is seen
crazy: Jose Alba (right ) faces a murder rap even though
a video (above) shows him defending himself from the ex-
con he killed, a sign of our screwed-up justice system.
Bragg’s
utter
injustice
as helping the victim.
In reality, Alba is the victim of
both Simon and the girlfriend, and
she ought to be charged. In fact, she
was the instigator and first threat-
ened Alba by telling him her boy-
friend “gonna f--k you up,” the
video shows.
The July 1 incident began when
the woman tried to buy a bag of po-
tato chips for her 10-year-old
daughter using a food-stamp debit
card. She became angry when the
card was repeatedly denied and,
claiming Alba was rude, ran home
to get her 35-year-old boyfriend.
When Simon arrived and went
behind the counter to confront
him, Alba is heard on the store’s se-
curity video saying calmly, “Papa, I
don’t want a problem, papa.” But Si-
mon shoves Alba into the corner
and wouldn’t let him go.
As they struggled, Alba reached
for a knife and stabbed Simon five
times even as the girlfriend was
stabbing him with her knife.
A bodega owners group has taken
up the cause by noting how vulner-
able store workers are as violent
crime continues to soar for the
third consecutive year. The group
demanded and got a meeting with
Bragg, who told them he was “con-
sidering” the possibility of drop-
ping the charges against Alba.
If he does, it will only be because
the publicity around the case
makes it too hot for his usual loony
approach. His criminal-coddling
instincts are reflected in the dis-
torted decisions to prosecute Alba
but not the girlfriend.
Imagine how Bragg handles the
many cases that don’t get the media
attention this one has.
The case strikes a chord because
it has all the key elements of the
city’s decline. The career criminal
who is repeatedly turned loose to
Francisco Marte
inflict more havoc, an innocent vic-
tim just going about his job and a
video capturing how quickly a dis-
pute can take a senseless turn to
deadly violence.
Hovering over it all is a political
class that blabbers incessantly
about public safety but rarely does
anything to actually make it hap-
pen. By my count, exactly zero poli-
ticians have come to Alba’s de-
fense.
Where’s Mayor Adams? Where’s
Gov. Hochul? Where are members
of the Legislature and City Coun-
cil? They have time to talk about
everyday nonsense but won’t say a
word about an innocent man being
railroaded. Sadly, that’s par for the
course, but still shameful.
There is only one path to justice
in the case: Drop all the charges
against Jose Alba. He should be a
free man because he did nothing
wrong.

Anytime Sen. Elizabeth
Warren is before a camera,
it’s must-see TV because

The Democrat from
Massachusetts exudes boiling
anger and her rhetoric is
increasingly extreme, even in
this fundraising pitch: “The
Supreme Court’s extreme
conservative majority is out
of touch, out of control, and
creating a legitimacy crisis
for themselves.
“The American people are
losing confidence in the
Court. And for good reason,
with the Court’s dangerous
decisions on abortion rights,
climate action, gun safety,
and more . . . the Court is
tossing aside settled law and
saying they’re just going to
substitute their own personal
views and make the rest of
America bend to it.”
As for the decision
overturning Roe, she writes:
“This opinion basically cites
a bunch of folks from the
1700s and says, ‘Boy, that’s the
way we want to go.’ To a time
when aristocrats ran the
world. When the only people
who had voices were white
men. When slavery was a
way to make money.”
Her “burn it down” tone is
reckless, but her argument is
also noteworthy for what she
neglects to say. Never does
the former Harvard law
professor mention the key
word in the court rulings she
denounces: unconstitutional.
Or don’t they teach that at

Birds of a feather and all that.
What is shocking is that the

President Biden calls Vladimir
Putin a war criminal for raining
death on Ukraine’s cities, he
trusts him to make a deal that

the stack of cash a “ticket” —
which is slang for a million dol-

“It’s a ticket? A ticket is a million,

also with Kulture’s 10-month-old

tragic: Rescuers pull people from the water (above
and left) after the boat they were on capsized Tuesday in
the Hudson River, killing a woman and a 7-year-old boy.

By Haley Brown,
Tina Moore,
Joe Marino
and GaBrielle FonrouGe
A summertime boat trip with
family and friends turned
tragic Tuesday when an appar-
ently overloaded vessel cap-
sized near Pier 84 in Manhat-
tan, fatally trapping a 7-year-
old boy and 48-year-old
woman underneath, police and
sources said.
Twelve people were aboard
the doomed small jet boat
dubbed Stimulus Money, which
had launched from New Jersey,
when a large wake believed to
have been caused by a passing
ferry led the boat to flip around
2:45 p.m. in the Hudson River
off West 46th Street, police
sources told The Post.
NYPD and FDNY divers
plunged into the water to res-
cue the young boy, Julian Vas-
quez, and the woman, Lindelia
Vasquez, as they were trapped
beneath the capsized vessel,
police officials said.
By the time the pair was
brought to the surface, they
were unresponsive and later
pronounced dead, said NYPD
Commissioner Keechant
Sewell.
The two were from Colombia
and were visiting family when
they went on the boating ex-
cursion, sources said.
At Pier 84, two women there
for a boat ride said they saw
EMS workers trying to resusci-
tate the child as his mother
screamed, “That’s my kid!”
“The child’s mom was really
upset when they took him into
the ambulance and they didn’t
let her on the ambulance. She
was crying,” said Sammie, 27,
who declined to give her last
name.
Tia, 34, who also only pro-
vided her first name, said the
scene was pure “chaos.”
“She wanted to see her kid . . .
and the police were like, ‘You
need to let them do their job,’
and she was like, ‘That’s my
kid!’ ” said Tia.
“She wanted to be let on the
ambulance. She said some
things I know she didn’t mean.
She was like, ‘Take me out’ or
like something like that. She
was just like really upset be-
cause it’s her child.”
Hell on the water
Some passengers floated with
life preservers in the water, one
witness said, yelling as others
hung onto the boat hull.
“I saw people screaming in
the water, and then I just called
911 to just make sure they were
OK,” Iaidy Garcia, 28, told The
Post.
“It was pretty far, maybe half-
way into the river,” he said of
the capsized vessel.
The boat’s owner — who had
been following behind the craft
on a jet ski — collapsed in tears
at the scene when he heard au-
thorities say during a Pier 84
press conference that two vic-
tims had perished.
In addition to the dead, two
people, including the boat’s
captain, were left in critical
condition and another 10 were
transported to local hospitals
with minor injuries.
The cause of the incident is
under investigation, but a high-
ranking police source said the
vessel appeared to have been
overloaded and that the weight
of the passengers would be just
as important a factor as the
number on board.
“This is a devastating mo-
ment,” Mayor Adams said at
the press conference.
“It’s a clear reminder as we
go through the summer
months, the water is an enjoya-
ble part of New York but it can
be a dangerous place.”

Rap for slay of NYPD wife
The Bronx man accused of
fatally stabbing his estranged
NYPD-officer wife has been
indicted for murder, prose-
cutors announced Tuesday.
Argenis Baez, 33, pleaded
not guilty on Tuesday to the
June 13 slaying of 31-year-old
Arianna Reyes-Gomez, the
mother of his 3-year-old son,
who was found knifed to
death at her home.
Prosecutors allege that
Baez forced his way into his
estranged wife’s apartment
on Grand Concourse near
East 156th Street at around
2:50 a.m. and confronted her
before stabbing her in her
breast, leg, torso and back.
He faces 25 years to life in
prison if convicted on the
top charge.

US airstrike kills key ISIS leader
The leader of ISIS in Syria,
one of the top five leaders of
the global terror group, was
killed and another senior ji-
hadist injured in an airstrike,
the US military said Tues-
day.
Maher al-Agal was killed
outside Jindayris, a city in
northwest Syria near the
Turkish border, US Central
Command said.
A senior ISIS leader with
Agal was “seriously injured”
in the strike, the military
said in a statement.
“Extensive planning went
into this operation to ensure
its successful execution. An
initial review indicates there
were no civilian casualties,”
the release said.
The US said Agal was re-
sponsible for developing
ISIS networks outside Iraq
and Syria.
“This strike reaffirms
CENTCOM’s steadfast com-
mitment to the region and
the enduring defeat of ISIS,”
said Col. Joe Buccino, a
spokesperson for Central
Command.
President Biden said the
strike took a “key terrorist
off the field and signifi-
cantly degrades the ability
of ISIS to plan, resource, and
conduct their operations in
the region.” Mark Moore

DocumentAry:
Zambia wants writer
Delia Owens and
her ex Mark
(pictured in 1990) to
answer questions
about the 1996
televised killing of an
alleged poacher.
By johnny oleksinski
A years-old controversy sur-
rounding the author of the 2018
novel “Where the Crawdads
Sing” has reemerged days before
a starry movie adaptation is due
to hit theaters.
Writer Delia Owens, her ex-
husband Mark and his son
Christopher have been wanted
for questioning in a murder case
in Zambia since the mid-1990s.
In the ensuing years, her
hugely popular book — about a
young woman growing up in a
North Carolina marsh — has
sold 12 million copies and is the
source material for a new Sony
film out Friday starring Daisy
Edgar-Jones and produced by
Reese Witherspoon. Owens also
wrote “Secrets of the Savanna”
in 2006.
But, as Zambia’s head of pub-
lic prosecutions told the Atlan-
tic this week, “There is no stat-
ute of limitations on murder in
Zambia. They are all wanted for
questioning in this case, includ-
ing Delia Owens.”
A televised killing
Writer Jeffrey Goldberg has
chronicled the scandalous
story for the New Yorker and
the Atlantic since 2010, which
hinges on a disturbing 1996
ABC documentary called
“Deadly Game: The Mark and
Delia Owens Story” on the pro-
gram “Turning Point.”
The TV episode is purport-
edly about an animal-loving
American family, the Owenses,
saving vulnerable African ele-
phants and other wildlife since
the 1970s. Then, in a shocking
turn, a possible poacher is
shown — in full view — being
shot to death.
‘The ultimate price’
“We would witness the ulti-
mate price paid by a suspected
poacher,” narrator Diane Sawyer
said in the episode,
adding: “The bod-
ies of the poachers
are often left
where they fall for
the animals to eat.
Conservation.
Morality. Africa.”
Neither the
shooter nor the
victim are identi-
fied in the docu-
mentary.
But the cam-
eraman, Chris
Everson, claimed
to Goldberg it
was actually Christopher Ow-
ens, then 25 — not a hired Zam-
bian game scout — who fired at
least one gunshot that killed the
man. A Zambian police detect-
ive further alleged that his fa-
ther Mark then put the dead
body in a cargo net and dis-
posed of it in a lagoon. (The
Owenses deny all this.)
The family fled the country
shortly after the ABC broadcast,
just as an investigation into the
murder began.
Additional damning allega-
tions are included in the New
Yorker report, suggesting that
the family encouraged a culture
of fear and violence in pursuit of
their animal rescue goals. Sour-
ces told the reporter that the
Owens’ scouts would torture
poachers, tie them to stakes and
“let them bake in the sun.” (Law-
yers for the family denied in-
structing scouts
to do this.)
Mark also
faxed a letter to a
nearby profes-
sional hunter say-
ing, “Two poach-
ers have been
killed and one
wounded that I
know of thus far,
and we are just
getting warmed
up.” (Owens said
in a statement in
the story: “ ‘We are
just getting started’
did not mean that anyone
was just getting started shooting
poachers, but only that we had
just begun fielding anti-poach-
ing patrols in that area.”)
According to the Atlantic,
“Mark, Delia and Christopher
Owens are still wanted for ques-
tioning related to the killing of
Getty Images
the alleged poacher, as well as
other possible criminal activi-
ties in North Luangwa.”
Fallout ahead of flick
Delia, 73, denied any wrong-
doing in an interview with
Goldberg, saying, “We don’t
know anything about it. The
only thing Mark ever did was
throw firecrackers out of his
plane, but just to scare poachers,
not to hurt anyone.” Lawyers for
Mark and Christopher also de-
nied involvement.
Yet the fallout for them has
been swift — even for Taylor
Swift.
When the pop star’s new song
for the movie, called “Carolina,”
was announced, she got back-
lash online for participating in
the project. Regardless, it still
plays over the end credits.
At the film’s low-key premiere
Monday night at the Museum of
Modern Art in New York, With-
erspoon, Edgar-Jones and co-
stars Harris Dickinson and Tay-
lor John Smith were all in at-
tendance — but not Owens.
While she is doing some press
for the movie, the location
where she lives today is dis-
puted.
Still, even with the author
wanted for questioning in a for-
eign murder, director Olivia
Newman emotionally thanked
her onstage in front of a packed
house.
WHO: More
than two
genders
The World Health Organization
is set to update its guidance on
gender to declare that “sex is not
limited to male or female.”
Officials said they’re moderniz-
ing the organization’s “gender
mainstreaming manual” origi-
nally published in 2011. The gui-
dance used by health profession-
als worldwide is being updated
based on “new scientific evidence
and conceptual progress” on gen-
der, health and development.
“The review and update process
will build on the extensive work
already featured in the manual,”
the WHO website reads.
The new guidance will update
“key concepts around gender,” as
well as expanding on the concept
of intersectionality, which exam-
ines how “gender power dynam-
ics” interact with other hierarch-
ies of privilege or disadvantage,
leading to differing health out-
comes among those individuals.
The updated manual will also be
“going beyond non-binary ap-
proaches” to recognize that gen-
der identity exists on a continuum
and that “sex is not limited to
male or female,” the WHO says.
The guidance is also expected
to introduce “new gender, equity
and human rights frameworks” as
well as unspecified tools to fur-
ther support those concepts.

Men can get
pregnant: prof
Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley and a
law professor from the University
of California at Berkeley engaged
in a heated exchange about who
can get pregnant at a hearing on
abortion Tuesday, with the
teacher accusing the Republican
of pursuing a “transphobic” line of
questioning.
Hawley was questioning Khiara
Bridges at the Senate Judiciary
Committee hearing about the abor-
tion restriction case Dobbs v. Jack-
son Women’s Health Organization
that led the Supreme Court to strike
down Roe v. Wade last month.
The testy exchange began when
Hawley said he wanted to “clear
one thing up” and asked Bridges if
she meant women when she used
the phrase “people with a capacity
for pregnancy.”
“Many cis women have the ca-
pacity for pregnancy. Many cis
women do not have the capacity
for pregnancy,” Bridges re-
sponded. “There are also trans
men who are capable of preg-
nancy as well as nonbinary people
who are capable of pregnancy.”

STAR-
FORMING
REGION
IN THE
CARINA
NEBULA

By Ben Kesslen ready some 1 million miles from

A new batch of stunning photos
from NASA’s James Webb Space
Telescope was unveiled Tuesday,
providing a never-before-seen
window into the universe and its
countless galaxies.
President Biden released the
first image from the $10 billion tel-
escope on Monday, wowing Amer-
icans with images of light from the
oldest galaxies dating back more
than 13 billion years.
In one, NASA’s Webb captured a
dying star’s final “performance” in
insane detail. The telescope shows
the Southern Ring Nebula star
surrounded by a massive circle of
gas.
Webb notably located an exo-
planet more than 1,000 light-years
away that showed evidence of wa-
ter vapor in the planet’s atmos-
phere, the Space Telescope Sci-
ence Institute said.
THE SOUTHERN RING NEBULA ‘STEPHAN’S QUINTET’ GALAXIES The telescope was launched on
Christmas Day last year and is al-
Earth. It was launched from
French Guiana in South America,
and is the biggest and most power-
ful of its kind ever used.
In another image released Tues-
day, the machine showed five gal-
axies named Stephan’s Quintet,
and four of them interact with one
another. The galaxies push and
pull each other with gravity, NASA
said.
Webb’s images represent a new
era of space exploration, as the tel-
escope surpasses the reach of the
Hubble Space Telescope and pro-
vides new images of the cosmos in
much greater detail.
The Hubble was launched in
1990.
“Six-point-five months ago, a
rocket launched from Earth carry-
ing the world’s newest, most pow-
erful deep space telescope on a
journey 1 million miles into the
cosmos,” Biden said Monday. “Put
together it’s a new window into
the history of our universe.”

Escapist charged with death Man fights off mugging on vid

Casey White, the Ala-
bama convict who escaped
prison with his jail boss-
turned-lover Vicky White,
was charged Tuesday with
felony murder in her death.
The charge was announced
by Lauderdale County Dis-
trict Attorney Chris Con-
nolly, according to AL.com.
Casey White and Vicky
White, who were not related,
were on the lam for 11 days
after Vicky helped him es-
cape Lauderdale County Jail
in Florence, Ala., where she
was a corrections officer.
They were caught on May
9 in Indiana, after Casey
crashed his car during a po-
lice chase and Vicky fatally
shot herself in the head.
Casey’s attorney said his
client will enter a not guilty
plea.
“The defense team will
file a number of pretrial mo-
tions including a motion for
the state to provide the de-
fense team with a copy of
the autopsy of Vicky
White,” Mark McDaniel said
in a statement. Ben Kesslen
A Philadelphia man was
seen on dramatic video turn-
ing the tables on two
would-be armed robbers as
he wrestled a gun away from
one suspect and shot a sec-
ond attacker who rushed
him at gunpoint on Monday
afternoon.
The attempted robbery
took place just before 2 p.m.
on the 4200 block of East
Cheltenham Avenue in the
city’s Wissinoming neigh-
borhood, Philadelphia po-
lice said.
The 46-year-old victim,
identified only as a black
man, was found lying at the
intersection of Cheltenham
and Erdrick Street with gun-
shot wounds to his buttocks
and left ankle. He was
rushed to Jefferson Torres-
dale Hospital in stable condi-
tion.
Police released surveil-
lance video that shows the
victim and one suspect in a
physical struggle that spills
from a sidewalk into the
street. Stephen Sorace

 Stolen
Eagles
riffs raps
You can’t hawk the Eagles.
Three collectors allegedly
tried to sell hundreds of pa-
ges of stolen handwritten
lyrics and notes from the Ea-
gles’ seminal “Hotel Califor-
nia” album worth more than
$1 million, Manhattan prose-
cutors said Tuesday.
The trio stand accused of
attempting to hawk the man-
uscripts through Sotheby’s
and Christie’s and lying
about how they got the
memorabilia — with one
claiming the items came
from founding band member
Glenn Frey, who died in 2016,
according to the Manhattan
District Attorney’s Office.
Rare book collector Glenn
Horowitz, 66, allegedly said
in an email message, “[Frey]
alas, is dead and identifying
him as the source would
make this go away once and
for all,” prosecutors claimed.
About 100 pages of manu-
scripts by drummer-singer
Don Henley were allegedly
stolen in the 1970s by a biog-
rapher of the band, who sold
them to Horowitz in 2005,
court records claimed.
Horowitz then sold them
to Craig Inciardi, 58, and Ed-
ward Kosinski, 59, who tried
to hawk portions of the rock
’n’ roll treasure trove, prose-
cutors said.

Dad and son
shot in B’klyn
A father and son were shot
on a Brooklyn street Tues-
day after getting into an ar-
gument with a third man.
The dispute soon turned
bloody when the unidenti-
fied gunman whipped out a
firearm and shot the pair at
around 6:47 p.m. on 95th
Street near Rutland Road in
East Flatbush, police sour-
ces said.
The dad was shot once in
the buttocks and his son
was shot in the stomach and
back, according to sources.
The victims were in sta-
ble condition at Kings
County Hospital.
A person of interest was
taken into custody. No char-
ges were immediately filed.
Officers recovered two
shell casings and an ammu-

Kate, a tech worker in San Fran-
cisco, was smitten when she found
Kevin, a tall 34-year-old with side-
swept dirty blond hair and pierc-
ing brown eyes on Tinder last
month. In his profile pic, he wore
a tuxedo with a crooked bow tie,
reminding her of Leonardo DiCa-
prio in “The Great Gatsby.” His
profile said he lived on Long Is-
land but was “in SF for work.”
The 28-year-old Kate, who asked
to go by a pseudonym for safety
reasons, swiped right. The two tex-
ted for hours into the morning.
“He was saying he was looking
for someone who was easy-going
and seemed very open and vulner-
able,” she said, noting that he gave
the impression of wanting some-
thing serious.
A shocking discovery
“I’m actually a very good person.
No restraining orders or any-
thing,” Kevin assured as the tex-
ting continued. “We are going to
meet and be inseparable.”
Soon after, they went on a first
date at an ice cream shop near his
hotel in the Fisherman’s Wharf
neighborhood. She was surprised
by his glaring crow’s feet and how
he looked older than his profile-
stated age of 34. He admitted that
he was actually 38, and Kate dis-
missed it all as a harmless lie.
After less than an hour of wan-
dering the city on a chilly Bay
Area night, Kevin pulled the old
Facebook
unmasks
a shady
charmer
“I’m cold” tactic, suggesting they
go back to his hotel.
Kate said she didn’t intend to
sleep with him, but ultimately was
pressured to do so. She snuck out
of the hotel room at 4 a.m. feeling
misled and used.
“My boundaries weren’t re-
spected last night. It was nice to
meet you, but I don’t see us recon-
necting,” she texted.
She was so sketched out that,
four days later, she posted Kevin’s
photo to the private Facebook
group Are We Dating the Same
Guy? — a New York City-based
group with more than 35,000 fol-
lowers. It turned out, other
women knew Kevin.
More Kevin encounters
“Omg this is so weird — this
dude somehow got my phone
number in 2020 and texted me,”
Crystal Tushinsky, 38, a hair stylist
from the West Village commented
on Kate’s Facebook post, noting an
experience with Kevin back in July
2020.
“I was in the middle of working
on my client and I had a message
from an unknown number, which
isn’t unusual because I’m a hair
stylist . . . I said, ‘I’m so sorry, I
don’t know who this is? Who is it?’
He acted like it was a mistake and
asked who I was,” she told The
Post. “When I told him I was a hair

Google mines your
data for its agenda
rachel
bovard
O live in America in 2022 is
T to live twice: once in our
daily, analog lives, and again
in the digital ether, where
our lives leave detailed
trails. Every now and again, we are
reminded of just how much of our
second selves exist outside of our
control.
In the wake of the Supreme Court
overturning Roe v. Wade, Google
announced it would be automati-
cally deleting location histories
when users visit abortion clinics
(as well as other locations Google
deems “particularly personal,” in-
cluding weight-loss clinics, cos-
metic surgery clinics and fertility
centers).
Though the company claims us-
ers can already turn off the loca-
tion-tracking feature — a claim pri-
vacy advocates say is dubious —
this is the first time Google will au-
to-delete user data based on the
company’s own determination of
what constitutes a sensitive loca-
tion.
Google has decided, in other
words, that visitors to abortion
clinics deserve a higher standard of
company-enforced privacy than,
say, visitors to gun shows, Cath-
olic churches, Republican polit-
ical rallies, or any other loca-
tions now deemed “problem-
atic” by progressive activists.
What is off-limits?
Google’s decision raises signifi-
cant questions about how it will
classify certain data in the future,
and what it will do with it. But to
understand the ramifications of
Google’s choice is to first un-
derstand the scope of what
Google knows about you
and everyone else.
The company has
made itself in-
dispensable to
accessing
the mod-
ern
Abort-clinic GPS an ominous turn
economy and our digital lives, and
amassed a voluminous trove of our
most intimate data in the process.
This data isn’t just harvested
when users engage on Google’s
platforms like search, Gmail or
YouTube, but more often uninten-
tionally and invisibly via the back-
end services Google provides to
millions of websites, apps and
smart devices.
Anytime you open an app pow-
ered by Google Maps, like Uber,
Lyft, Waze or even Yelp, you are
sending data to Google. Same goes
when you use Spotify, which hosts
its product on Google Cloud. Data
shifts over to Google anytime your
phone, computer and smart devices
communicates with the 14,232,576
IP addresses controlled by the com-
pany. Google ads and analytics
track you across the web — from
shopping, to searching, and even
filing your taxes with the IRS.
While Google profits wildly from
this data, it’s also
used for less sa-
vory ends. The
government
can compel
access to
Google’s data horde with a warrant,
subpoena or court order, and ac-
cording to the company’s transpar-
ency report, it complies roughly
80% of the time.
As our law-enforcement institu-
tions become more agenda-driven,
it’s not hard to imagine how a polit-
ically motivated Department of Jus-
tice might use location data to se-
lectively enforce the law. Consider
that court documents in at least 45
of the federal criminal cases
brought against the Jan. 6 protesters
cite Google geolocation data. Yet
somehow police nationwide were
only able to solve less than half the
murders committed in 2020.
Picking and choosing
But also concerning is what the
company chooses to do voluntarily.
While Google is auto-deleting loca-
tion data in this instance, what
about the data it decides to share?
In April 2020, Goo-
gle published re-
gion-wide, aggre-
gated user loca-
tion data called
“Community

New York Post, Wednesday, July 13, 2022

Mobility Reports” intended to
show how people were complying
with lockdown and social distanc-
ing orders. The data, the most re-
cent of which were only 48 to 72
hours old, covered 131 regions and
countries and tracked user visits to
retail stores, parks, transit stations,
offices and residences.
While the reports didn’t include
the granular details of identifiable
individual data, the move demon-
strated how easily Google can re-
package its data to police for com-
pliance.
That state governments won’t be
able to access the location data of
users who visit abortion clinics ap-
pears to be the motivation for Goo-
gle’s new policy of auto-deleting it,
despite no state attorney general
seeking to compel the data. But
why shouldn’t all location data be
afforded the same privilege? Why is
Google happy to publicly assist in
compliance with some laws, osten-
sibly the ones it agrees with, but
not in others?
The bracing reality of all of this is
that if Google did decide to begin
weaponizing its user data — hand-
ing over the names and locations of
everyone who visited a gun-enthu-
siast website, attended a pro-life
rally or searched for a banned Joe
Rogan podcast — the users
themselves would have
very little recourse to
stop them.
And there’s the rub
of living twice. Our dig-
ital echoes and the
deeply personal details
they reflect are only private
up to a point. And that point
begins and ends with Goo-
gle’s politics.

Exec seeks $95M

By Priscilla DeGreGory
The Big Apple’s unofficial
“mayor of Little Tokyo” has
been accused in a new $95
million lawsuit of sexually
assaulting an executive at
his company following a
night on the town last year
with other employees, The
Post has learned.
Nozomi Horikoshi, vice
president of operations at
TIC Restaurant Group,
claims her boss Shuji Bon
Yagi had sex with her while
she was passed out and
couldn’t consent after going
out drinking with other co-
workers Dec. 10, according
to her Manhattan Supreme
Court lawsuit filed Tuesday.
“I woke up at his apart-
ment and I wasn’t wearing
anything,” the 51-year-old
married mom told The Post.
“I realized I was naked from
the waist down.”
Bon Yagi, 73, owns around
a dozen restaurants in Man-
hattan — many of them clus-
tered in an area of the East
Village on Ninth and Tenth
streets dubbed Japantown or
“Little Tokyo” — and has
been called the “mayor” of
the neighborhood in The
New York Times and other
publications.

Target: Farmers
Enviro-radicals are killing a vital livelihood
IJN er ook boeren?” shouted
‘Z Mick Jagger, in Dutch, into
the microphone at a Roll-
ing Stones concert in the
Netherlands last week. “Are
there any farmers in the house?”
Dutch farmers make for an un-
likely cause célèbre. For starters,
most are conservative, not lib-
eral. And they are fighting
against stricter environmental
regulations, not for them.
Yet they are winning over lib-
eral-minded people like me who
sympathize with the family
farmers who provide us with our
daily bread and yet receive so lit-
tle respect from society’s ruling
elites. And they’re inspiring pro-
tests by other farmers across Eu-
rope, including in Germany, Po-
land and Italy.
I’ve praised the Dutch govern-
ment for being sensible on mat-
ters like climate change. Last
year it embraced nuclear energy,
one of the first Western nations
to do so since the 2011 Fukush-
ima accident spooked the world.
But the government’s poor
treatment of its farmers has
shocked me. The prime minister
recently called the protesting
MICHAEL
SHELLENBERGER
farmers “a – – holes,” and sniffed:
“It is not acceptable to create
dangerous situations.” And yet it
was a Dutch police officer, not a
farmer, who inexplicably fired on
a 16-year-old boy driving a trac-
tor. Luckily, he wasn’t injured.
While nitrogen pollution wor-
sens climate change, the govern-
ment says its main motivation
for reducing it is about protect-
ing its nature areas. Scientists
say that in 118 of 162 of the Neth-
erlands’ nature preserves nitro-
gen deposits are 50% higher than
they should be.
Without a doubt the Dutch
should do more to protect their
nature areas. The country pro-
duces four times more nitrogen
pollution than the European av-
erage, due to its intensive animal
agriculture.
The Netherlands is the largest
exporter of meat in Europe and
the second largest exporter of
food overall after the United
States, a remarkable feat for a na-
tion half the size of Indiana. Food
exports generate more than $100

billion a year in revenue. Experts
attribute the nation’s success to
its farmer’s embrace of techno-
logical innovation.
But even many on the political
left say the government de-
mands are too extreme, based on
radical green fantasies and
dodgy science. “It seems to be
very fast,” said Wim de Vries, a
professor at Wageningen Uni-
versity and Research who 10
years ago made alarmist claims
about “planetary boundaries.”
The government is demanding
a cut in nitrogen pollution of
50% by 2030. That amount
would require a livestock reduc-
tion of one-third or more and
thus bankrupt many farmers.
Data show ammonia pollution
from manure has already de-
clined by nearly 70% since 1990.
And farmers say they will con-
tinue to reduce pollution as they
put in place low-cost, common-
sense fixes, like diluting manure
with water, injecting it into the
soil and more frequently wash-
ing down barn floors.
Netherlands is something of a
model for the efficient use of ni-
trogen fertilizer in farming.
Since the early 1960s, the Neth-
erlands has doubled its yields
while using the same amount of
fertilizer. It’s hard not to con-
clude that politics and green ide-
ology, more than science and
reason, are driving the govern-
ment’s decision.
The Netherlands has had a ni-
trogen-pollution permitting sys-
tem in place since 2015, but that
hasn’t satisfied green groups,
which want to see significant de-
clines in meat production. A left-
wing green-like party, D66,

January on the condition that the
government reduce the number
of animals by half.
“There is a small group of left-
wing people, many of whom are
vegetarians, who have for 35 years
made many arguments to reduce
livestock,” said Jan Cees Volge-
laar, former chairman of the na-
tional dairy farmers association.
Farmers suspect that the gov-
ernment’s motivation is to re-
duce farmland so more housing
can be built for the nation’s ris-
ing immigrant population. They
point to statements by the Min-
ister of Nature and Nitrogen,
“We need speed because we
need houses,” which have been
echoed by the prime minister.
Meanwhile, many are flying the
national flag upside down in soli-
darity with the farmers. A new
poll released two days ago shows
that, if elections were held today,
the ruling VVD party would lose
13 of its 34 seats in parliament
and its allied D66 party would
lose 11 of its 24 seats. By contrast,
the party of the farmers, the
“Farmer-Citizen Movement,” or
BBB, which formed just three
years ago, would go from having
just one seat to 20.
It’s not too late for the govern-
ment to change. It was a pioneer
last year in its sensible embrace
of nuclear energy. It could be a
pioneer again by rejecting de-
mands from the radical greens
and embracing a more incre-
mental, science-and-technology
based approach to pollution.

Foreign desk: Behind Sri Lanka’s Protests
The ouster of Sri Lanka’s president indicts the “conceits of the global
elites more broadly,” argues Spiked’s Brendan O’Neill, calling into ques-
tion both “climate-change alarmism and Covid authoritarianism.” Lock-
downs “shattered Sri Lanka’s tourism industry” and a green ban on “the
import of chemical fertilisers and pesticides” wrecked its farming sector,
on which “seventy per cent of Sri Lanka’s population” depends. This is
“what happens when policy is shaped according to the desires and preju-
dices” of elites. Yes, “the uprisings are inchoate . . . but it’s obvious what
people are generally angry about — the irrational decision-making prac-
tices of a new class of political rulers.”

White House watch: Joe’s Elitist Cabal
Team Biden policies “deliberately are punishing the average guy,”
fumes The Washington Times’ Rowan Scarborough. From Chief of Staff
Ron Klain, who “spent over 30 years traveling through the Washington
revolving door, building a net worth of up to $12 million,” to Energy Sec-
retary Jennifer Granholm, a former director at an electric-bus manufac-
turer who told “hard-pressed Americans to solve their financial problems
by buying a $60,000 electric car,” the administration “is inhabited by re-
volving door careerists who got rich through decades of moving into a
plum federal job, then out to a law firm/PR/lobbyist/consultant — and
then back in again to burnish the resume.” This White House has lost
“touch with middle America and everyday hardships,” building wealth
and influence “from the insular comforts of Washington” while its poli-
cies hit average Americans hardest.
Libertarian: Biden’s Keeping Us in the Dark
President Biden “chastises oil companies for profiteering,” yet produc-
ers “are price takers, not price makers,” notes Carrie McKean at Reason.
Gas prices will “come down when demand doesn’t outpace supply, but
that relief is unlikely to arrive” as long as Team Biden “actively cultivates
a climate of energy scarcity.” Energy “scarcity” is a global problem “de-
stabilizing us all,” and the void created by depleted oil and gas production
can’t “immediately be filled by renewables.” We need “honest” and “so-
ber-minded” leaders who “resist ideological capture” and “tell the truth”
about energy. “Instead, this administration acts as if shortages would re-
solve themselves if gas station owners and refineries were just less
greedy. It is expending a lot of energy to keep Americans in the dark.”
From the right: A Tone-Deaf First Lady
“First Lady Jill Biden has no discernible animosity . . . toward Latinos,”
argues National Review’s Jim Geraghty, only a
“certain tone-deafness and presumptuousness.”
Yet her “unique as the breakfast tacos here in San
Antonio” gaffe was, he observes, “part of Biden’s
prepared remarks, meaning it had been written,
and approved, by an allegedly professional
speechwriter.” In fact, “elderly white Democrats
walk around believing that everyone recognizes
them as one of the good guys. . . . They can’t be
racist, insensitive, or abrasive; check their voter
registration!” But this time the National Associa-
tion of Hispanic Journalists objected; its mem-
bers are clearly “exasperated from always being
Jill Bixen expected to play along and just pretend they
didn’t hear what they just heard.”
Conservative: De-population Reckoning Coming
In 2025, the United States faces “a demographic cliff” as “the numbers of
college-age students will start to drop precipitously,” writes John Feehery
in The Hill. He faults elites on the left and the right for believing in “the
perverse idea that population growth is bad for America”: “Roe v. Wade
was the culmination of a long campaign to get more people to end preg-
nancies” and it came at the cusp of “the sexual revolution and the environ-
mental movement.” Left and right are both wrong, as population growth
“is essential for economic growth and for a healthy society.” Depopulation
won’t just leave colleges short on qualified students, but employers una-
ble to find workers even as Social Security and Medicare are “far down
the path of insolvency.” — Compiled by The Post Editorial Board

Biden Made Mideast

New York Post, Wednesday, July 13, 2022

More Dangerous
AST Saturday, President Biden pre-empted his Mideast trip with a

L pack of lies in The Washington Post, including his claim that “The
Middle East I’ll be visiting is more stable and secure than the one my
administration inherited 18 months ago.” You’ve got to be kidding.
The Trump administration left office having strengthened crucial re-
gional pillars of stability and security. America’s bilateral relationship
with Israel was stronger than ever. We recognized Iran as the region’s
chief troublemaker. And we set a new trajectory for a more peaceful Mid-
dle East through the Abraham Accords. Biden writes, “Compared to 18
months ago, the region is less pressurized and more integrated.” He’s
stealing credit for our work.
Even worse, Biden has created new risks. Inducing Iran to re-enter the
nuclear deal is the antithesis of the Trump administration’s strategy of
pressure and deterrence. We took

for valor while serving his coun-

try in Iraq. His bravery on the bat-
tlefield is unparalleled. His dig-
nity unmatched.
So why is Volesky today sitting at
home, his reputation in tatters, his
post-service career in limbo?
Since last month, the decorated
ex-officer has been under investi-
gation by the military on
trumped-up charges, suspended
from his $92-an-hour gig as a men-
tor to active-duty men and women.
All because, in an unguarded
moment, Volensky, 60, sent a
snarky tweet to First Lady Jill
Biden, 71, regarding the Supreme
Court’s decision to overturn Roe v.
Wade.
Compare Volesky’s treatment to
that of “G.I. Roe,” an active-duty
medic who’s been burning up so-
cial media with an angry rant
about the ditching of Roe. The
woman, who posted a profane
TikTok video under the name Sgt.
Rahasenfratz, even suggested that
she might find it difficult or im-
possible to fulfill her duties as a
defender of freedom, now that she
could be denied the right to termi-
nate a pregnancy.
“How am I supposed to swear to
support and defend the Constitu-
tion and a country that treats its
women like second class citi-
do that with love and honor?”
She asked, “How am I supposed
to wake up every day and put on a
frickin’ uniform that says ‘United
States Army,’ when the United
States doesn’t even give a rat’s ass
about me?
“It gives more of a rat’s ass
about the guns they’re allowed to
buy that kill the children that I’m
forced to give birth to,” she con-
tinued. “Think about that.”
You might think she’d be put un-
der investigation. Suspended.
Canceled. I mean, fair is fair. You’d
be wrong.
The Army “respects the right of
Soldiers to use social media for
self-expression,” a spokesman
told The Post.
Unless you’re Lieutenant Gen-
eral Volesky apparently.
It started on June 24, the day of
the Supreme Court decision, when
Jill Biden sent out a tweet saying
“for nearly 50 years, women have
had the right to make our own de-
cisions about our bodies.
This glib message is more of a
commentary on the leftists in
charge rather than a barb specifi-
cally aimed at Jill Biden. It wasn’t
even entirely about abortion, but
delved into transgender rights.
The remark evoked the recent
Senate confirmation hearings of
new Supreme Court Associate
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson
who, when asked if she could de-
fine the word “woman,’’ replied,
“No, I can’t.’’
“Not in this context,’’ said Jack-
son. “I’m not a biologist.’’
An Army spokesman confirmed
that Volesky has been suspended
from his military job pending the
outcome of an inquiry.
The spokesman explained that
the branch “does not prohibit
Army personnel, at any time, in-
cluding when they are at work or
on duty, from expressing their
personal opinions about non-par-
tisan issues, even if politically
charged.”
What does that even mean?
How can a non-partisan issue be
politically charged?
Sounds like the Army is making
a decision based on what some-
one’s opinion is, not that they ex-
pressed it in the first place — and
that’s the difference between
Volesky and GI Roe.

agrees that things are better.
nian President Ebrahim Raisi. The
regime’s seed money for nuclear
weapons, proxy wars and terrorists
in Gaza, Lebanon and Yemen is
growing.
That’s a far cry from what an
Iran-financed fighter in Syria said
during our pressure campaign:
“Iran doesn’t have enough money
to give us.” Today Israel and the
Gulf states fear that the United
States is selling out their security
interests for another bad deal.
Only the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
agrees that things are better.
Meanwhile, China and Russia
continue to bolster their presences
in the Middle East. In March 2021,
China and Iran signed a 25-year co-
operation agreement worth some
$400 billion. Russia is creating a
sanctions-proof trading relation-
ship with Iran.
Next month, China, Russia and
Iran will drill together in Venez-
uela-hosted war games. Lifting
sanctions on Iran, or pretending
they don’t exist, will only enable
greater cooperation between Bei-
jing, Moscow and Tehran.
Ordinarily, the US could count on
Saudi Arabia to help mitigate Iran-

Finally, recall the Biden disaster
in Afghanistan, which went un-
mentioned in his op-ed.
We handed the Biden team a
solid, conditions-based plan for a
political transition in Afghanistan.
There were no US troop deaths for
months during our negotiations.
The Biden crowd threw out our
plans and raced to meet a politi-
cally motivated withdrawal dead-
line, leaving 13 American troops
dead in the ensuing chaos.
America is also now bereft of
military and intelligence capabili-
ties in Afghanistan to help stop re-
surgences of al Qaeda and ISIS
there.
Biden is piggybacking on the
Trump administration’s success in
keeping America out of any new
wars in the Middle East and setting
new foundations for peace. A re-
dux of Iranian appeasement in-
creases the odds that the American
people will eventually have a new
conflict on their hands. Given
Biden’s weakness, the next presi-
dent will likely be the one forced
to clean up the mess.

Munger flushes
crypto down ‘sewer’
By ThomAs BArrABI
Berkshire Hathaway’s bil-
lionaire vice chairman
Charlie Munger renewed
his scathing criticism of the
cryptocurrency sector —
calling the industry a
“sewer” full of bad actors
selling digital coins that
lack any actual value.
Munger, one of the finan-
cial world’s most vocal crit-
ics of cryptocurrencies, re-
ferred to the “crypto craze”
as a “mass folly” during an
interview published on
Tuesday.
“I just avoid it as if it

view with the Australian

Munger continued his di-

would have to be “almost
insane” to consider.
“I think anybody that
sells this stuff is either de-
lusional or evil. I won’t
touch the crypto,” Munger
said. “I’m not interested in
undermining the national
currencies of the world.”
Munger, the 98-year-old
right-hand man to Berk-
shire Hathaway chairman
Warren Buffett, has never
held back his disdain for
the burgeoning sector.
Earlier this year, Munger
likened the digital tokens to
a “venereal disease” that he
was glad to have avoided.
“I just regard it as beneath

Fire lit over energy woes Online review ‘extortion’

A global energy crisis that has
sparked fears of fuel shortages in
Europe and abroad is likely to get
even worse in the months ahead,
the chief of the International En-
ergy Agency warned at an event
this week.
“The world has never witnessed
such a major energy crisis in terms
of its depth and complexity,” IEA
Executive Director Fatih Birol said
at an event in Sydney Tuesday, ac-
cording to Bloomberg. Birol noted
that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine
has exacerbated pressures on global
energy markets already struggling
with pandemic-era demand.
Fears of a spiraling energy crisis
increased this week after Russia
shut down a key natural gas pipe-
line for 10 days of maintenance,
with concerns an extended shut-
down could lead to severe shorta-
ges in Europe. Thomas Barrabi
Restaurant owners said they have
been targeted by scammers who
post negative reviews of their eater-
ies on Google and then demand
digital gift cards as the price for re-
moving them.
Michelin-ranked restaurants in
cities including New York, San
Francisco and Chicago told The
New York Times their businesses
have been deluged with negative,
one-star reviews on Google Maps
and other Google platforms.
The reviews are posted by crooks
who then email the restaurant own-
ers and pledge to remove the poor
rating in return for a $75 Google Play
gift card. If the restaurateur doesn’t
comply, the scammers post more
negative reviews, the report said.
The alleged scammers say they
are based in India and that a $75 gift
card would cover basic expenses
for weeks. Ariel Zilber

Ex-Apple design head.
Apple,

ways
Apple ended a consulting
deal with former design
chief Jony Ive, The New York
Times reported Tuesday.
Citing sources, the news-
paper reported that Ive’s
contract had come up for
renewal and the parties
agreed not to extend it. Ive,
who left Apple in 2019, was
a close confidant of the late
Chief Executive Steve Jobs
and spearheaded design
work on the company’s can-
dy-colored Mac computers
and the iPhone.
Apple declined to com-
ment on the report.
After departing Apple, Ive
remained a consultant for
Apple and also formed a
company called LoveFrom.
Among other clients, Love-
From is working with Exor,
the owner of Ferrari, under
a multiyear agreement to
“explore a range of creative
projects with Exor in the
business of luxury.”
Born and raised outside
London, Ive, 55, joined Apple

BMW takes heat

By Theo WayT
A new plan by BMW to
charge for monthly access
to vehicle features like
heated seats is giving cus-
tomers road rage.
Under subscription
plans recently rolled out
in the United Kingdom,
Germany, South Korea
and several other mar-
kets, BMW owners will
have to pay the equiva-
lent of $18 per month to
turn on the heated front
seats that are already in-
stalled in their vehicles.
Motorists can also pony
up roughly $180 for a one-
year heated seats sub-

“Front Seat heating gets

On a Reddit forum for
BMW owners, users are
getting cranky.
“Do NOT get the heated

user wrote in a post that
rocketed to the top of the
forum on Tuesday. “The
f--king hardware is in
your car and you’ve al-
ready paid! And a f--king

New York Post, Wednesday, July 13, 2022
By Brian Lewis
LAS VEGAS — With every
day that goes by without Kevin
Durant and Kyrie Irving being
traded, there is increasing sen-
timent among league person-
nel that one or both stars could
still be on the Nets roster
come training camp.
A source close to the team
confirmed that the organiza-
tion has been in contact with
Durant since his trade demand
stunned the NBA. Another
source close to Irving told The
Post that the All-Star point
guard not only never asked for
a trade, but has had every in-
tention of playing for the Nets
— with or without Durant.
“How did we get into this sit-
uation about trade, when he
opted in?” the source asked
rhetorically. “Here is the situa-
tion. He opted in, which means
he had and he has every inten-
tion of playing with the Brook-
lyn Nets. KD decides he wants
out and now everybody is talk-
ing about trading Kyrie, right?
“Kyrie has not asked for a
trade. Now, if the Nets don’t
want him, that’s something to-
tally different. Kyrie has not
said he wants a trade. He opted
in. [So where did] the trade
conversations come from? Is it
because, KD requested a trade
and now everybody’s like let’s
trade Ky? Kyrie opted in.”
Last summer Durant inked a

four-year, $198 million exten-
sion that kicks in this coming
season. But on June 30 — the
day after Irving picked up his
own one-year $36.5 million
player option for 2022-23 —
Durant requested a trade.
Durant largely went dark
after that, not responding to
even other players trying to re-
cruit him. The Nets worked
with his business partner Rich
Kleiman in trying to facilitate a
deal — but neither side has
burned any bridges, or closed
the door on a potential return
to Brooklyn.
When asked if Irving was
also willing to play for the
Nets despite the team having
had multiple rounds of talks
with the Lakers, the source
said he was — and that in-
cludes even if Durant is traded
away.
“Kyrie wants to play. ... He
wants to win a championship,
and he wants to play,” the
source told The Post, adding
Irving and Durant are friends
and supportive of each other
although not necessarily tied
at the hip. “I think when KD
said he wanted a trade, he
didn’t say I’m going to trade to
where Kyrie goes.”
It should be noted that all
four sides — Durant, Irving,
Nets GM Sean Marks and
owner Joe Tsai — have pub-
licly played nice, avoiding any
statement they’ll have to walk
back.
The market for Irving has
been tepid, with only the Lak-
ers showing interest and here-
tofore unwilling to meet the
Nets’ demands of two first-
round picks to take on Russell
Westbrook’s hefty contract.
And with Marks predictably
demanding a king’s ransom for
Durant, it’s a price that may
not be met.
Durant initially told the Nets
he’d prefer to be traded to Mi-
ami or Phoenix, but both will
struggle to get a deal done di-
rectly with the Nets without
looping in a third or fourth
team. Toronto would be able
to do a cleaner deal, but has
been against including Scottie
Barnes in any swap.
So far, the Nets have gotten a
plethora of offers, but none to
their liking. Brooklyn is seek-
ing a young All-Star and a
trove of picks in return for Du-
rant. But, of course, convincing

him to stay is preferable.
With all the relevant parties
in Las Vegas — including the
owners’ meetings Tuesday
night — the Nets can talk face-
to-face with whomever they
need.
Marks, Raptors team presi-
dent Masai Ujiri and Lakers
GM Rob Pelinka spoke re-
cently at Thomas and Mack
Arena, with Marks and Ujiri
ducking under the stands for a
more private chat. And Marks
was later spotted talking at a
team hotel with Miami GM
Andy Elisburg.
Not being able to take back
Miami’s Bam Adebayo compli-
cates any deal with the Heat,
as does not being able to bring
back Utah’s Donovan Mitchell
(unless they move Ben Sim-
mons).
With many GMs going on
vacation after summer league,
if a deal doesn’t get done in the
next few days it could drag
into training camp. If that hap-
pens, cooler heads prevailing
is possible. And maybe even
probable.
And from the Nets point of
view, preferable.

Silver: KD’s
request not
good for NBA
By Brian Lewis
LAS VEGAS — NBA commissioner
Adam Silver already felt stars making trade
requests in the midst of long-term con-
tracts was bad for the sport. Then Kevin
Durant happened.
Having Durant ask out of Brooklyn
days before his four-year max extension
even kicked in sure hasn’t changed Sil-
ver’s thinking.
“My view hasn’t changed,” Silver said.
“Look, this needs to be a two-way street.
Teams provide enormous security and
guarantees to players, and the expectation is
in return that they’ll meet their end of the
bargain. I’m realistic that there’s always con-
versations that are going to go on behind
closed doors between the players and the
representatives of the teams; but we don’t
like to see players requesting trades and we
don’t like to see it playing out the way it is.”
The way it is was Durant’s trade demand
— or as Silver subtly corrected, trade ‘re-
quest’ — on June 30, before the four-year,
$198 million extension he’d inked last sum-
mer had even gone into effect. The stun-
ning news not only threw the Nets for a
loop, but ground free agency to a halt and
has overshadowed summer league.
“It’s not just potentially the league or the
team governors who are impacted, but lots
of other players as well. So it’s one of those
issues that as we move into this collective
bargaining cycle … we intend to discuss with
our players association,” Silver said. “It’ll
never be the case when players won’t be un-
happy in certain situations; but we don’t
want to see it playing out the way it is now.”
Silver was talking after the NBA Board of
Governors meeting, with the National Bas-
ketball Players Association vice presidents
having met here over the weekend.
After James Harden forced his way out of
Houston in January 2021, and Ben Simmons
demanded a trade from Philadelphia last
offseason with four years and $144.7 million
left on his deal — holding out until he got
moved to the Nets at the Feb. 10 trade dead-
line in exchange for Harden — it was al-
ready a hot-button topic.
And that was before Durant. Still, Silver
said he expects Durant to fulfil his contract
and hasn’t heard anything about the star
planning to do otherwise.
“No one has suggested to me that Kevin
Durant has said he’s not willing to live up to
the terms of his contract. To say he’d like to
play in another city is one thing: To say I’m
not going to appear for training camp or cer-
tainly games would potentially be a violation
of his contract,” Silver said. “But I don’t know
what exactly is going on right now between
him and his team. Certainly there’s a lot of
buzz in this town about possible moves, but
from that standpoint I feel like a fan.
“There’s leverage from both sides. It’s a
marketplace. … Everybody’s got leverage,
and that’s healthy in certain ways that you
have players who — Kevin Durant is a per-
fect example, has a talent that … 8 billion
people, minus one, don’t have.”

REAL TEST

New York Post, Wednesday, July 13, 2022

By Jared Schwartz

Jake Paul has been called a lot of

things — a YouTuber, an influen-
cer, an internet troll, content crea-
tor, you name it.
Those names continued to fly his
way on Tuesday at Madison Square
Garden. But he also took perhaps
the biggest step of his career to-
ward putting all those to bed.
The 25-year-old squared off with
Hasim Rahman Jr. during the intro-
ductory press conference for their
Social media star Paul looks
to prove boxing legitimacy
in fight against Rahman
where my mouth is,” Paul told The
Post. “I’m stepping up to the plate.
I talk a lot of s--t, but I back it up.
This is a massive risk, no boxer has
ever taken this big of a risk this
early on in their career. I’m chang-
terward. “It’s not his show. It’s my
show. And the fight’s gonna go the
same way. Whatever he tries, I’m
not gonna let him do. It’s what I do.
This is my fight.”
Rahman provides the biggest test

Aug. 6 fight at the Garden. For the
first time in his newfound career,
there was a professional boxer
lined up across from him.
Paul (5-0), the YouTuber-turned-
boxer with more than 20 million
Instagram followers, looks to
prove his legitimate place as a real
boxer. He previously fought, and
beat, internet influencer Ali Eson
Gib, former Knick Nate Robinson
and former UFC stars Ben Askren
and Tyron Woodley, prompting
wide-scale criticism and challen-
ges to fight an actual professional
boxer and prove himself against le-
gitimate competition in the sport.
Rahman provides that opportunity.
“I think it just puts my money
ing the sport forever.”
The animosity between the two
was palpable, and at times they
spent minutes at a time shouting
over each other as MC Ariel Hel-
wani tried to interject. Rahman
(12-1), the son of former heavy-
weight champion Hasmim Rah-
man, went face-to-face with Paul,
promising a rude awakening as Paul
finally faced a boxer inside the ring.
“Who have you beat?” Rahman
and his father, who was by his side,
kept repeating.
“That’s what you’re for,” Paul re-
sponded over and over. “You’re
just the next one up.”
“I’m turning this into the Hasim
Rahman Jr. show,” Rahman said af-
nypost.com
for Paul inside the ring by a wide
margin. He’s bigger and far more
experienced as a boxer than any-
one Paul has fought, and carries a
historic legacy. It’s also the biggest
stage Paul has fought on, headlin-
ing on Showtime PPV at the mecca
of boxing.
“I was always ready. I’ve been
sparring professional boxers since
Day 1. It just so happened that the
people I was going up against had
bigger names in the MMA world,
so a lot of them ended up being the
MMA guys,” Paul said. “But I was
always ready to fight these profes-
sional boxers. I’ve been proving stare down: With fellow influencer and brother Logan Paul look-

close calls at the PGA

Championship (losing a
playoff to Justin
Thomas, bottom) and
the U.S. Open (below)
Will Zalatoris remains
positive about his place

in golf as he hunts for

his first major at the
British Open this week.

USA TODAY Sports

By Mark Cannizzaro
ST. ANDREWS, Scotland —
On the surface, you might think
this is getting a bit old for Will
Zalatoris, who’s putting to-
gether an impressive record in
major championships without
crossing the line as the winner
yet.
The 25-year-old Zalatoris has
played in eight major champi-
onships and finished in the
top-8 six times with three run-
ner-up results. The most recent
runner-up came at the U.S.
Open last month at The Coun-
try Club in Brookline, Mass.,
where Matt Fitzpatrick won. Be-
fore that, Zalatoris lost to Justin
Thomas in a playoff at the PGA
Championship in May at South-
ern Hills.
“Of course, I want to win one,
but the part I also have to re-
mind myself is we’re sitting
here talking about me not win-
ning a major and I’ve been on
the PGA Tour for 20 months,”
Zalatoris said Tuesday, display-
ing proper perspective. “It’s a
pretty good spot to be in. I ha-
ven’t even played double-digit
majors yet. For me, let’s just
keep growing on this experi-
ence.”
Incredibly, for as well as Zala-
toris has played, he’s still seek-
ing his first win on the PGA
Tour.
“I’m obviously playing some
nice golf,” he said. “I keep tell-
ing myself this — let that first
[win] get in the way and if it
happens to be a major, it hap-
pens to be a major. Obviously,
I’ve had a nice run in the ma-
jors, but the excitement level
this week is obviously off the
charts. I’ve obviously been very
close, specifically in the last two
majors. But game’s in a great
place and in a great head space.
This is a lot of fun.”
Zalatoris was asked what the
Sunday nights are like for him
after the close calls without
winning.
“It’s funny, I don’t sleep that
great Sunday nights,” he said.
“Saturdays I sleep great going
into the tournament. Sunday
nights, in particular, I’m pretty
much up till probably 4 or 5
[a.m.] It’s not that I’m sitting
there stewing, it’s just trying to
come down from the adrena-
line.
“While I’m playing it, I don’t
feel it. When I was in those last
couple holes against Matt or
even in the playoff with Justin, I
don’t feel that big of an adrena-
line push. Obviously, I want to
win. I’m as focused as I possibly
can be, but it’s the coming down
for me that’s hard.
“Majors feel like two weeks
just by themselves, but when
you’re in contention, they feel
like they’re three weeks in
themselves. It typically takes
me until about Wednesday or
Thursday until I start feeling
normal. It’s something we’ve
learned in our schedule is that I
need to take weeks off after ma-
jors.
“Obviously if I’ve been in con-
tention, it’s worn me out pretty
hard. The PGA was a really hard
one to swallow because I was
that close against Matt. He went
out and got it and played some
great golf. I have no regrets. I
don’t ever have regrets walking
off the golf course, especially in
majors.”

Rory doesn’t want to see LIV player hoist Jug

By Mark Cannizzaro
ST. ANDREWS, Scotland
— Rory McIlroy, of course,
wants to win the British
Open this week. But if he
doesn’t win the Claret Jug
for the second time, he
hopes the champion will
not be one of the LIV Golf
players.
“Selfishly, for me, I think
it would be better for the
game” if a player who’s not
a member of the Saudi-
backed LIV Golf tour wins,
McIlroy said Tuesday. “But
at the end of the day, every-
one that’s here has the same
opportunity to go out there
and try to win a Claret Jug,
regardless of what tour they
play on or whatever that is.
Whoever wins here at the
end of the week should be
commended for one of the
greatest achievements this
game has to offer.
“I’m not going to be-
grudge anyone if they win
the Claret Jug and they play
on a different tour than I
play. That’s still a wonderful
achievement, and they’re
still playing the same sport.
But I selfishly want that

Woods takes aim at Norman for

threatening the future of golf,
defectors for taking easy way out
By Mark Cannizzaro

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland

— Since the first murmurs
of the Greg Norman-led, Sa-
udi-backed LIV Golf tour,
Tiger Woods has been a
staunch supporter of the
PGA Tour in its battle with
what it perceives as a seri-
ous threat to its fiefdom.
On Tuesday, in advance
of the 150th British Open
at St. Andrews, the 46-
year-old 15-time major
championship winner
dug in the heels of his
golf shoes as deep as
they’ve ever been dur-

nouncing Norman

who’ve fled the PGA
Tour for the cushy,

in defense of the

lashed out at LIV.

tional. That, to me, I just
don’t understand it.’’
Rory McIlroy, a close
friend of Woods, said Tues-
day he understands where
Woods is coming from.
“The legacy that Tiger has
built over 25 years, the plat-
form for him to do it has ba-
sically been the PGA Tour,
[and] I think he appreciates
the platform that he was
given at the very start,’’
McIlroy said. “He’s such a
big guy on history and tra-
dition. He’s chasing a record
that Sam Snead has held for
I don’t know how many
years, [82] victories on the
PGA Tour. Those traditions
and the history of the game
are very important to him.
He doesn’t want to see that
all go away. I think that’s a
big part of the reason why
his position is what it is.’’
Woods is fond of saying
he’s learned the game and
gotten to where he is today
by “digging it out of the
dirt’’ and “earning every-
thing’’ he’s gotten. He took
pointed shots at the guaran-
teed money the LIV players
are getting as taking the
lazy way out.
“What these players are
doing for guaranteed
money, what is the incentive
to practice?’’ he said.
“You’re just getting paid a
lot of money up front and
playing a few events and
playing 54 holes. They’re
playing blaring music and
have all these atmospheres
that are different.
“I just don’t see how that
move is positive in the long
term for a lot of these play-
ers, especially if the LIV or-
ganization doesn’t get
world-ranking points and
the major championships
change their criteria for en-
tering the events. It would
be sad to see some of these
young kids never get a
chance to experience it and
experience what we’ve got a
chance to experience and
walk these hallowed
grounds and play in these
championships.’’

The Islanders will
have to make moves
in order to free up the
cap space it would
New York Post, Wednesday, July 13, 2022
take to sign Flames
free agent Johnny
Gaudreau. Getty Images
By EtHan SEarS
Let’s begin here with the 5-foot-9
elephant in the room. If you were to
pick one player in the NHL who
would most make the Islanders bet-
ter outside of Connor McDavid,
Auston Matthews and Leon Draisa-
itl, there would be at least a reason-
able case for Johnny Gaudreau.
The Calgary winger is coming off
a career-best season in which he
scored 40 goals for the first time,
breached 100 points for the first
time — ranking second in the league
with 115 — and was part of arguably
the best line in hockey, alongside
Elias Lindholm and Matthew Tka-
chuk. He is hitting unrestricted free
agency for the first time in his ca-
reer, having reportedly sat on an of-
fer of roughly eight years at $9.5 mil-
lion per year. Gaudreau — who
grew up in Carney’s Point, just a few
hours drive from UBS Arena — is
hitting unrestricted free agency for
the first time in his career, having re-
portedly turned down an offer of
roughly eight years at over $10 mil-
lion per year, informing the Flames
that he would be leaving Calgary.
The Islanders are in desperate need
of a winger who can maximize Ma-
thew Barzal’s talent following a sea-
son in which their star center’s high-
light reel consisted mostly of skating
around the offensive zone, searching
in vain for someone — anyone — to
feed the puck to in a scoring position.
Gaudreau would be that player.
The pieces do fit. But there is that
pesky matter of the salary cap.
The Islanders currently have ap-
proximately $11.1 million in space,
per CapFriendly. But that is before
re-signing Noah Dobson, Alexander
Romanov and Kieffer Bellows — all
restricted free agents who the team
qualified ahead of Monday’s dead-
line. In particular, Dobson, coming
off a breakout season, and Romanov,
who the team gave up the 13th pick
in last week’s draft to acquire, will
take a bite out of that number.
GM Lou Lamoriello must also fac-
tor in an eventual contract extension
for Barzal, whose $7 million cap hit
will likely increase when his deal ex-
pires at the end of next season.
Gaudreau would surely command
a maximum $11 million AAV on the
open market, or close to it. So, to
make a long story short, the Island-
ers would need to move some pieces
around to make signing him possible.
For a player of Gaudreau’s caliber,
though, you do what you need to do.
The Flyers, who bought out Oskar
Lindblom on Tuesday morning and
are reportedly trying to offload
James van Riemsdyk’s $7 million
cap hit, seem to already be in the
mode of clearing space to try and
land the South Jersey native.
Anthony Beauvillier would be the
most logical player for the Isles to
try and move, but with a $4.15 mil-
lion cap hit, that might not be
enough on its own. In such a sce-
nario, it could make sense to move
Ross Johnston ($1.1 million).
If the Islanders cannot land free
agency’s white whale — and it does
seem an uphill battle — the ultimate
need on the roster doesn’t change.
Exactly where Lamoriello would
look in this free-agent class is any-
one’s guess, though he might not
limit himself to free agency. J.T. Mil-
ler would be a fit, and returning to
trade talks with Vancouver, which
reportedly broke down on the draft
floor in Montreal, might end up be-
ing the best option.
Otherwise, among available wing-
ers, Toronto’s Ilya Mikheyev is com-
ing off a 20-goal season and has a re-
lationship with newly hired Euro-
pean scout Jim Paliafito, who
scouted him extensively in Russia.
Florida’s Mason Marchment, who
Lamoriello signed as an undrafted
free agent with the Maple Leafs in
2018, is coming off a breakout season
in which he scored 47 points and has
the sort of two-way game Lamoriello
is known to like in his forwards.
There is nobody, though, who
would impact the Islanders like
Gaudreau.

3 Islanders targets
Johnny Gaudreau, LW
It would take some maneuvering
from Lou Lamoriello to clear
the necessary space for the
superstar winger, but Gaudreau
would immeasurably help the
Islanders. Nothing would get
them closer to a Stanley Cup
than adding last year’s second-
leading point-scorer in the
league.
Ilya Mikheyev, LW/RW
Jim Paliafito, who the Islanders
hired as their top European
scout last week, unearthed
Mikheyev as an undrafted free
agent in Russia a few years ago.
Lamoriello also downplayed
concerns about Russian
players at the draft, trading
for Alexander Romanov, and
Mikheyev scored 20 goals last
season at a position of need.
Mason Marchment, LW/RW
A two-way winger whom
Lamoriello signed as an
undrafted free agent with the
Maple Leafs in 2018, Marchment
is another player with a front-
office connection who makes
sense.

Gronk: I’m
‘done with
football’
By Jaclyn HEndrickS
Sorry, Tom Brady, it looks
like the third time won’t be
the charm for the newly re-
tired Rob Gronkowski.
The former NFL tight
end, who called it a career
for the second time last
month, told ESPN this week
that he’s “done with foot-
ball” — even if his former
quarterback comes calling.
“I would answer, obvi-
ously, I would obviously an-
swer the greatest quarter-
back of all time, ask him
how he’s doing, and tell him
I’m doing good, but I
wouldn’t go back to foot-
ball, no,” Gronkowski said.

ment, his
agent,
Drew Ro-
senhaus, Rob
said the 33- GRonkowski
year-old
could potentially return if
Brady “calls him during the
season.” Brady, 44, then re-
sponded with a meme of
former congressional can-
didate Martin Baker making
a phone call.
Gronkowski spent the
first nine years of his career
in New England before re-
tiring in March 2019. He
came out of retirement a
year later to join Brady at
Tampa Bay.
Gronkowski and Brady
won a Super Bowl title in
their first season with the
Buccaneers, defeating the
Chiefs in February 2021.
They reached the postsea-
son in January but were
ousted in the divisional
round by the Rams.
Brady then revealed in
February that he was going
to step away from football,
only to return 40 days later.
He is now gearing up for his
third season with the Buc-
caneers and his 23rd over-
all.
As for Gronkowski, he’s
now focusing on his busi-
ness ventures, notably with
Ice Shaker and Gronk Fit-
ness.
Gronkowski, a five-time
Pro Bowler and four-time
Super Bowl champ,
wrapped up his prolific ca-
reer with 92 touchdowns,
621 receptions, and 9,286 re-
ceiving yards.

Ryan Strome could be parting
with a second-line center job
next to Artemi Panarin, while
Frank Vatrano and Andrew
Copp could vacate top-six

and Kevin Rooney would create
holes on the wing and in the
middle of the bottom-six.
Though the door is not necessa-

and general manager Chris

landscape to replace them,
should it get to that point.
Everyone knows the Rangers
will have to do some cap gym-
nastics in the next couple years
to make the finances work. The
moves made this offseason will
lay the groundwork.
So when it comes to the free-
agent market, the Rangers may
not necessarily be in play for
some high-end players. Instead,
they could have to target low-
profile players who won’t break
the bank and will leave the Ran-

room for future contract negoti-

Everyone knows that.
And yet, as late as
Tuesday morning, just 24
hours before the opening
of the free-agent market,
Kadri was still being

New York Post, Wednesday, July 13, 2022

If the Rangers want to ensure they have a reliable
second-line center, Trocheck is an enticing option.
The 29-year-old may be a bit pricey, but at this
point, there are few 2C options who aren’t pushing
the Rangers budget.

Now listen, if you think that giving 32-

middle of the second line. You must be

top-six members of the team’s run to the
conference final in Copp, Ryan Strome
and Frank Vatrano. And you must do it
without much room to maneuver under
the cap. And for a team that was banging
on the door last we saw.
But if Drury could pull this off, the
Rangers would have both their pre-
ferred 2C and some breathing room.
That surely would be worth more than
a one-year rental of J.T. Miller (or even
Patrick Kane). That would be worth
more than a two-year rental of Mark
Scheifele, whose annual $6.125 million
cap hit pushes all the limits.
The offer would start with Nils
Lundkvist. If including Vitali Kravtsov
would allow the club to retain Copp,
that would not be a deal-breaker. It’s the
same story. The Rangers would wall off
Igor Shesterkin, Adam Fox, Alexis La-
freniere, K’Andre Miller, Braden
Schneider, Ryan Lindgren, Brennan
Othmann, Will Cuylle and the no-move
veterans. They should be very reluctant
to part with next year’s first-rounder.
What about Kaapo Kakko?
Good question.
The further the Game 6 scratch against
the Lightning recedes into the back-
ground, the more disturbing it becomes.
It is particularly haunting that, two days
later when addressing the press at
break-up day, the Finn said he believed,
“In the playoffs I played maybe the best
hockey I ever have been playing.”
His best hockey — while combining
with Filip Chytil’s best hockey and
Alexis Lafreniere’s best hockey —
couldn’t get him a spot in the order in
an elimination game after he had been
part of a winning lineup in five previ-
ous elimination contests. The spot
went to Dryden Hunt.
Would I want to trade Kakko for
Kadri? No, I’d want the 21-year-old Finn
to play with Kadri. Kakko has reached
restricted free agency, but our best in-
formation is that neither side anticipates
an issue — or an offer sheet — to derail
talks on a likely two-year deal. Ideally,
the 2019 second-overall pick would be
off limits as well, but the question is
whether the staff — and the head coach
— believes Kakko remains a core piece.
There are not all that many apparent
upper-echelon options available to
Drury. This is one of them. The Ran-
gers don’t have the wherewithal to sign
Kadri. But they do have the ability to
get him.

New York Post, Wednesday, July 13, 2022

By Zach BraZiller
The Knicks and their fans can dream
big. Donovan Mitchell could be had for
the right offer.
The Jazz, in the process of remaking
their team after a disappointing first-
round playoff exit, are listening to over-
tures for the star guard from Elmsford,
N.Y., ESPN reported. The Knicks, who
have long been enamored with Mitchell,
are expected to be one of his suitors, ac-
cording to The Athletic, and hope to pair
him in the backcourt with free-agent ac-
quisition Jalen Brunson.
There are connections between Mitch-
ell and the Knicks. He is repped by CAA,
the agency Knicks president Leon Rose
once ran. In the past, Michell has praised
Rose — one of his agents before joining
the Knicks — as the right man to lead his
favorite team growing up. Knicks assist-
ant coach Johnnie Bryant is very close to
Mitchell, dating back to his days with the
Jazz. And, of course, the former Louis-
ville star and 13th overall pick in the 2017
draft is a New Yorker and big Mets fan.
The 25-year-old Mitchell, an electric
athlete who has developed into an elite
player, has reached the All-Star Game
each of the past three seasons and has av-
eraged 23.9 points and 4.5 assists during
his five-year career with the Jazz. He has
four years and $134.9 million remaining
on the maximum rookie extension he
signed during the 2020 offseason. He has
a $37.1 million option for the final year.
Now, it will likely take a haul to land
Mitchell. The Jazz recently traded center
Rudy Gobert, a quality player, but not
someone as valuable as Mitchell, and
they received a boatload from the Tim-
berwolves. They landed four first-round
picks (three unprotected), a pick swap
and useful players Patrick Beverley, Ma-
lik Beasley and Jarred Vanderbilt, along
with the 20th pick in this year’s draft,
center Walker Kessler.
When asked at the NBA summer
league if Mitchell was untouchable, Jazz
general manager Justin Zanik told report-
ers: “Change is inevitable in the NBA. I’m
not trying to be cryptic or anything else,
but Donovan is on our roster and he’s a
very, very important part of what we’re
trying to do. Things evolve in the NBA,
so I couldn’t sit here and say anybody is
[untouchable].”
The Knicks do have plenty of draft picks
— 11 first-round picks over the next seven
years. It remains to be seen if Rose will be
willing to part with RJ Barrett, the kind of
young, impact player who would be needed
to land someone like Mitchell. They would
also have to move around a lot of money to
fit Mitchell under the salary cap, dealing at
least one high-priced veteran to create the
necessary room after signing Brunson to a
four-year, $104 million deal.
Without including Barrett in a deal, it
would seem doubtful the Knicks have
enough to land Mitchell, since their
other young players, such as Obi Top-
pin, Immanuel Quickley and Quentin
Grimes, aren’t nearly as established.
“I don’t know if they have enough if
Barrett’s not involved for a top-15
player [like Mitchell],” former Nets
executive and ESPN analyst Bobby
Marks recently told The Post. “It
could change. I don’t know if they
have a blue-chip prospect. Looking at
it from a baseball [perspective], Tri-
ple-A guy, you’re ready to call him up
and be your starting pitcher. They’re
nice young players. That certainly
could change this year.”
But the Knicks may not have this
year for those players to prove them-
selves and improve their value. Mitchell
could be on the move now and they are
expected to be involved.
How much landing Mitchell, if it takes
moving Barrett, helps the Knicks is up for
debate. A Brunson-Mitchell backcourt
would be a small tandem, two 6-foot-1
guards not known for their defense. And a
major hole would be created on the wing.
That said, there is a difference-maker
that appears to be available, an All-Star
with ties to the franchise. Now it’s up to
Leon Rose and the Knicks to decide how
much they are willing to give up to bring
Donovan Mitchell home.

one team that could use a

After starting with Robin-

and J.D. Davis as primary
options to fill the role, the
Mets are now searching.
But if there is one trade tar-

The Mets have been pa-

still among MLB’s leaders

(he ranks in the league’s
99th percentile), Davis had

RBIs in 191 plate appearan-

then grounded out as a
pinch hitter in the Mets’ 4-1
loss to the Braves.
Smith has shown flashes
of productivity since his re-
turn from Triple-A Syra-

.310/.429 slash line as play
began and then went
0-for-4. Smith’s last homer
came last July 21 in Cincin-

“We’ve got among the

to ignite, and that hasn’t

Power outage: Though the Mets were supposed to be strong at designated hitter this year, the team is now look-
ing for help at the spot after J.D. Davis and others have stumbled. Davis, who grounded out as a pinch hitter in his only
at-bat Tuesday in a 4-1 loss to the Braves, has just a .681 OPS this season.
Davis told The Post he
met with general manager
Billy Eppler in spring train-

came after an offseason in
which Davis, Smith and Jeff

depart. But Davis said he
wouldn’t be surprised now
if Eppler changes course

“I know that he, as a GM,
has to listen to every [pro-

“In order for him to be
considered, we’d have to see
sustained performance over
some period of time at Tri-
ple-A,” Alderson said of Al-
varez, who was hitting .125 in
five games since his promo-
tion. “We haven’t seen that
because he hasn’t had the
opportunity to do it. But I
would say that’s not an im-
mediate option.”
Alvarez, who is currently
the No. 2-ranked prospect by
MLB Pipeline, hit .277 with
18 home runs, 47 RBIs, 16
doubles and a .922 OPS in
296 plate appearances for
Double-A Binghamton be-

Forget resting, red-hot Diaz eager to pitch

By Mike PuMa
ATLANTA — Edwin Diaz is on
such a roll that he just wants the
ball in his hand as often as possi-
ble.
A day after the Mets’ closer
struck out the side in the ninth in-
ning on 11 pitches to earn the save,
Diaz tried to prompt manager
Buck Showalter to have him avail-
able for the game Tuesday night
against the Braves at Truist Park.
That was despite the fact Diaz
had already pitched three days in
a row, for the first time this sea-
son. Showalter said he wasn’t en-
METS NOTES
thused about the idea, and Diaz
did not get his wish in the 4-1 loss.
Over his last 18 appearances,
through Monday, Diaz had
pitched to a 0.51 ERA with 39
strikeouts in 17 ²/₃ innings and 10
hits allowed. The right-hander is
headed to Los Angeles for the All-
Star Game next week.
“It’s about stretching out the
good [streaks] and shortening the
bad times,” Showalter said. “He’s
looked like he doesn’t want to go
into any of those bad times. It’s
hard to do what he’s done for over
half the season.”
Diaz’s efficiency has been part
of his recent brilliance. In pitch-
ing Saturday, Sunday and Monday,
he threw 29 pitches total.
Overall, Diaz’s 18.08 strikeouts
per nine innings is the best in the
major leagues. He has struck out
73 of the 142 batters he has faced
(51.4 percent).
➤ Starling Marte’s tight left
groin is progressing, according to
Showalter, but the outfielder
missed a third straight start.
Showalter said he is hopeful
Marte will return to the lineup in
the next 1-2 days.
Travis Jankowski started a
second straight game in right
field, with Ender Inciarte availa-
ble off the bench. That tandem
finished the game Monday in the
outfield, along with Brandon
Nimmo.
“We had three center fielders
out there and I am hoping that
continues to be an asset for us,”
Showalter said. “One of the rea-
sons why we really wanted to
bring Jankowski in here and also
Ender, because you never know
when something like Marte is
around the corner and you want
to have people out there you
know what you are going to get
from them, there’s not a lot of
fluctuations.”
➤ Showalter said it was unclear
whether Jeff McNeil (who is on
the paternity list) would return
for the series opener Thursday at
Wrigley Field. As of Tuesday aft-
ernoon, McNeil and his wife, Ta-
tiana, were still awaiting the birth
of their child. Showalter said the
Mets have arranged for a plane to
be available to McNeil when he’s
ready to return.

Beane stalk
By Jared Greenspan
The Mets failed in their
offseason pursuit of Billy
Beane, but it turns out it
wasn’t a complete pipe
dream, after all.
On the episode of The
Post’s “The Show” podcast
with Joel Sherman and Jon
Heyman that dropped
Tuesday, Mets president
Sandy Alderson maintained
the team had a legitimate
shot to pry Beane away
from the Athletics to be-
come the club’s president
of baseball operations.
“I thought we had a
pretty good chance,” Alder-
son said. “That was based
on his initial response to us.
Eventually, he realized that
he had a good solution in
Oakland, both from a pro-
fessional standpoint, but
also from a personal stand-
point. That was kind of the
cold reality.
“We thought we had a
pretty good chance there. It
wasn’t fool’s gold that we
were pursuing. There was a
legitimate possibility for a
week or 10 days.”
Championed as the in-
genious innovator of what
came to be called “money-
ball,” Beane spent 17 years
as the Athletics’ general
manager before becoming
the executive vice presi-
dent of baseball operations
in 2015. During his reign,
Billy Ball: Sandy Alderson (left), the man who hired Billy Beane for the Athletics in
1990, presents the inaugural Executive of the Year award to his protege in March 2019.
Beane came close to working with Alderson again when the Mets pursued him as the
team’s president of baseball operations this past offseason..
Alderson: Mets had
‘pretty good chance’
at landing Athletics’
architect as team prez
Oakland has made the post-
season 11 times.
Alderson, then Oakland’s
general manager, first hired
Beane as an advance scout
with the Athletics in 1990.
Beane eventually replaced
Alderson as GM in 1997.
The Mets’ painstaking
search for a top baseball ex-
ecutive is perhaps best re-
membered for those the or-
ganization did not land, in-
cluding Beane. The Mets
also could not pry David
Stearns or Matt Arnold
away from the Brewers.
Theo Epstein, who built the
Red Sox and Cubs teams
that won streak-busting
World Series champion-
ships, decided mutually
with owner Steve Cohen
that he wasn’t the right fit
for the Mets.
The winding road ulti-
mately led to Billy Eppler,
whom the Mets hired as
their new general manager
— the same role that Eppler
held for five seasons with
the Angels.

pler. “A general manager is
evaluated in a variety of dif-
ferent ways. One is talent
acquisition. That relates to
talent evaluation as well as
the ability to actually ac-
quire somebody. That
comes up mostly in the off-
season and it comes up at
the trade deadline. By most
measures, and obviously
it’s not perfect, but our off-
season was very productive
under difficult circumstan-
ces.
“Otherwise, it’s the day-
to-day management of the
roster, the relationship with
the manager, those sort of
housekeeping things that
keep the train running. He’s
very detail-oriented and I
think he has done a great
job managing the waiver
wire, managing our roster
with some of the challenges
we’ve had with injuries.
From my standpoint, I’m
very pleased with what he’s
been able to do.”

team, there was going to be some
cold water on what has pretty much
been a magic carpet for three
months. Or as Donaldson also said
philosophically, “It’s baseball.
There’s going to be ebbs and flows.”
Even after losing 4-3 to the Reds
on Tuesday night, largely because of
the worst meltdown of Clay Holmes’
otherwise relatively pristine New
York tenure, the Yankees still lead
the AL East by 14 games. As we have
seen with most of the Mets’ big lead
collapsing to the Braves, there is no

panic should be reserved for another
day — or more probably no regular-

Still, the Astros are closing for the
best record in the league — and
there will be a doubleheader in
Houston to open the second half —
and a bunch of the Yankees’ All-

Nestor Cortes Jr. and Jose Trevino,
are not finishing the first half the
way they played most of it.
Perhaps it is just “the law of avera-

Entering Brave new world in
a burgeoning NL East rivalry
WO GAMES into this intriguing series the
T Mets and the Braves have swapped 4-1 deci-
sions, and so heading into Wednesday’s rub-
ber game they are exactly where they started: a
game and a half apart, neck-and-neck, and that
feels like it’s exactly as it should be.
The Braves prevailed Tuesday because David
Peterson’s final pitch was the worst of the 105 he
used to mostly muffle the Braves’ potent bats be-
fore Matt Olson made No. 105 disappear over the
center-field wall, and because Seth Lugo contin-
ues to scuffle. The Mets’ de-
pleted lineup could muster
only one run. That’s not going
to cut it most nights against
the Braves (or anyone else).
These have been two tight,
taut, fascinating games, and
we can expect more of the
same the rest of the way. Not
Mike Vaccaro
only will the Mets and Braves
play 13 more games from here, they seem as evenly
matched as they’ve been in years, especially when
the Mets aren’t missing Jeff McNeil (paternity
leave), Starling Marte (strained groin) and Jacob
deGrom (shoulder). That’s two present All-Stars
and one perennial one, for those keeping score.
It is enough to wonder if we aren’t seeing the
birth of a rivalry.
The Mets and Braves have shared the NL East
since 1994, and they’ve had a couple of interesting
Septembers, and met once in October — 1999, a
six-game NLCS that ended with a walk-off walk by
Kenny Rogers that left Bobby Valentine screaming
in agony right alongside a chorus of Mets fans.
That has been the exception, though.
The rule has generally been this: the Braves have
owned the East, and as a result have owned the
Mets. They’ve won 16 division titles since 1995; the
Mets have won two. The Braves have had ex-
tended periods of excellence while the Mets have
settled for fleeting spasms of prosperity.
That should be different now. The Braves have a
seemingly endless supply of young talent; the
Mets have Steve Cohen’s checkbook. Those two
things ought to keep both teams eye-to-eye for the
rest of this season and beyond. It could create a ri-
valry — a true, back-and-forth, let’s-take-the-
gloves-off-because-anything-can-happen-at-any-
time rivalry — which is something the Mets ha-
ven’t had, in truth, in over 35 years.
Back then it was the Cardinals, and those Cardi-
nals-Mets games between 1985 and 1988 were
something to behold. The Cardinals and the Mets
detested each other. The Cards didn’t care for the
curtain calls and the showboating the Mets of that
era specialized in. And it used to drive the Mets
bananas to hear the paeans and poetry written
about “The Cardinal Way.”
So every one of the series they played in
those years was supercharged. And,
more important, either team could —
and did — win. The Cards outlasted
the Mets in classic pennant races in
1985 and ’87; the Mets KO’d St. Louis
early in 1986 and ’88. They were for-
ever in each others’ faces — and spa-
ces. And it was a blast to watch.
Since? There was a time when it
seemed like Mets/Phillies could be-
come some-
thing, but after
the Mets’ epic
collapse in
2007 that
never really
got off the
ground. The
Mets and
Braves have had
some memorable moments, just not
enough of them. Mostly the Braves
have been the hammer. Mostly the
Mets have been the nail.
That should be different this time
around, and so far this season it feels dif-
ferent, feels like equals squaring off, feels
like the Mets trying to dethrone the Braves,
feels like the Braves recognize the Mets as
their biggest impediment to winning the
East again. Each team has won three of the
six games they’ve played. Back in May, the
Braves were scuffling but still managed a
four-game split.
Now the Braves are piping hot, the Mets try-
ing to keep their heads above water. The Mets
won 4-1 on Monday because Max Scherzer
wasn’t going to let that proceed any other
way. The Braves won 4-1 on the strength of
two swings of the bat. Wednesday won’t set-
tle anything. But both teams would sure like
to make a statement that’ll have staying
power until they see each other again for a
five-game series at Citi Field the first week in
August.
The kind of calling cards rivals leave for
each other.
Scherzer had called Monday night a “meas-
uring-stick” game, and it is the Mets who
need to do the measuring because it’s the
Braves who won the Commissioner’s Trophy
last fall. But you can tell, watching the Braves,
they want to send a message, too. They want to
remind the Mets who the champs are. It’s not as
heated as Mets/Cardinals in the ’80s, no. But a
rivalry has to walk before it can run.
Has to be born before it can fester.
