Former Governor Andrew Cuomo is set to defy dismal polling numbers and officially launch his independent bid for mayor this week — while calling on all other candidates, except socialist Democrat Zohran Mamdani, to agree to drop out by mid-September if they are not in the lead. The bold move, first reported by NewsNation, comes as the latest poll from Slingshot Strategies shows Cuomo trailing Mamdani by 10 points, with the former governor polling at 25% to Mamdani’s 35%. Republican Curtis Sliwa stands at 14%, while incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, also now running as an independent, has plummeted to 11%.

Is Alternative Healing/Medicine Kosher? Much confusion and misinformation reigns in our Chareidi community concerning medical treatment and procedures. The latest circulating rumor or the assertion of an elderly bubby receives immediate acceptance as the way to deal with ailments – physical, emotional or mental. The mindset is that “If “they” say “it works”; then for sure we shud do it”. To so many even the idea that medical treatment needs to be kosher approved is foreign. But just like food that many of the most delectable ingredients are just not available to us because they do not conform to the Torah rules, so too medical treatment must also adhere to Torah principles.

For sale: A 54-pound (25-kilogram) rock. Estimated auction price: $2 million to $4 million. Why so expensive? It’s the largest piece of Mars ever found on Earth. Sotheby’s in New York will be auctioning what’s known as NWA 16788 on Wednesday as part of a natural history-themed sale. According to the auction house, the meteorite is believed to have been blown off the surface of Mars by a massive asteroid strike before traveling 140 million miles (225 million kilometers) to Earth, where it crashed into the Sahara. A meteorite hunter found it in Niger in November 2023, Sotheby’s says.
