What Are These Mysterious Structures on the Moon?

What Are These Mysterious Structures on the Moon?

It’s a real space oddity.Former Pentagon UFO investigator Luis Elizondo claims the US government possesses unreleased photographs showing what appear to be giant monolith-like structures on the moon — and the images may go public soon.“There’s also photographs that I don’t believe have been made public yet that show on the lunar surface what appear to be large monolithic structures with right angle cuts,” Elizondo said on Disclosure Tonight with Thomas Fessler on Tuesday.The alleged structures evoke the mysterious lunar monoliths featured in Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 sci-fi classic “2001: A Space Odyssey,” where the towering rectangular objects have the power to engineer humanity’s evolution. Former leader of the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program Luis Elizondo claimed there are images of monoliths on the moon. To The Stars AcademyElizondo, who headed the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, claimed that photographs of the monoliths were likely to be released soon — and called the images “intriguing.”The Trump administration has released previously classified “UFO files,” which have revealed numerous images of unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAPs, dating back 80 years.The files have not contained proof of alien life, but have included images of well-documented moving orbs along with more purportedly disturbing phenomena.A haunting image of a mysterious six-pointed object taken in East Asia was released in the last batch of files unsealed Friday. The former Pentagon official has made other explosive claims about US knowledge of extraterrestrial phenomena — including that the feds picked up the famous space ship that allegedly crashed in Roswell in 1947. Elizondo said the images should be released soon. NASA“The United States has been involved in the recovery of objects, vehicles of unknown origin that are neither from our country or any other foreign country that we’re aware of,” Elizondo told NewsNation in 2024.Other UFO files have claimed that China and Russia have collected downed UAPs and attempted to reverse-engineer them.A NASA spokesperson told The Post the agency has mapped and captured images of the entirety of the moon’s surface and is unaware of any monoliths in their data.

This Weekend's Manhattanhenge: A Sunset Spectacle You Can't Miss

This Weekend's Manhattanhenge: A Sunset Spectacle You Can't Miss

Get out your phones and head down to street level, because this year’s final Manhattanhenge — the coincidental phenomenon where the sun aligns perfectly with Manhattan’s rectangular street grid — is taking place this weekend, Sat. July 11 through Sun. July 12. And while the point of the naturally occuring event is that you don’t have to work very hard to find the best viewing locations, not all east-west blocks are created equal. Some clouds may interrupt tonight’s show, according to Accuweather, but there’s no rain in the forecast around sunset (8:28pm) on either day. Here’s everything you know are a few tips on the best viewing locations and happenings around town this weekend. First up, on Saturday, American Museum of Natural History is hosting a free block party from 3-10 p.m. on W. 79th Street between Amsterdam and Columbus — there will be World Cup viewing options indoors, and chess matches, double dutch-jump rope and board games in the street.Today's Video Headlines0 seconds of 15 secondsVolume 0%Press shift question mark to access a list of keyboard shortcutsNext UpBlackRock is betting on the future of America05:34Ad 1 of 2. 00:0700:0700:15The prime viewing time is expected to be around 8:20 p.m. — the Williamsburg Salsa Orchestra will play as the sun sets. The museum will also host a lecture at 7 p.m. about Manhattanhenge; you can get tickets for that event here.What is Manhattanhenge?Manhattanhenge only happens twice a year — in 2026, the first occurrence was May 28-29. The term was coined by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, referencing England’s Stonehenge monument.Tyson went outside and did a measurement of the grid of Manhattan and calculated the chosen azimuth — which is a point along the horizon — and altitude where the sun would line up directly with the horizon. If you take your finger and point it down the middle of 42nd Street, a line would extend all the way out 93 million miles to the exact position that the sun is in. While we learn that the Sun always rises in the east and sets in the west, this actually only happens twice per year on the equinoxes: the first day of spring and of autumn. On every other day, the Sun rises and sets elsewhere on the horizon, since the Earth is constantly spinning. If Manhattan’s grid was aligned with the north-south line, Manhattanhenge would fall on the equinoxes. But the street grid is evidently rotated 30 degrees east from the geographic north, which shifts the days of alignment on the calendar to the late-May and mid-July dates. The spectacular “full” and “half sun” alignment happens twice in late May (around Memorial Day) and twice in mid-July. Getty ImagesManhattan has the ability to have this clear sunset view because of its rectangular grid and the clear view to the horizon, which Manhattan has across the Hudson River to New Jersey. The tall buildings create a vertical channel that frames the Sun, which creates those perfect windows.You can also view the sunset from Manhattan’s main east/west thoroughfares, where you should find a spot as far east as possible, that still has views of New Jersey across the Hudson River. Some prime viewing locations are: 14th Street 23rd Street 34th Street 42nd Street 57th Street The sunset can also be viewed from Tudor City Overpass, Manhattan and Hunter’s Point South Park in Long Island City, Queens. Jackie Fahorty works in the Astrophysics Department of the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) and looks at the position of the sun and the exact coordinates of the Manhattan grid to identify a place in the sky where there would be a direct Manhattanhenge. According to the AMNH website, Fahorty always does her altitude and azimuth calculations at 42nd Street and Fifth Avenue, a spot that enables full Manhattanhenge, when the very bottom of the sun kisses the grid right before it goes below the horizon. While summer is famous for the glowing evening sunset, you can also view a “Winter Manhattanhenge” where the alignment happens during the sunrise in December and January. Getty ImagesThe second is when the midpoint of the sun kisses the grid, calling it a half sun Manhattanhenge. May 28 is the half sun and May 29 is the full sun. The second Manhattanhenge is reversed — July 11 is the full sun and 12 is the half sun. It is a combination of the azimuth — the point along the horizon — and the altitude that analysts look at to determine where the sun exactly will be. While most people assume Uptown Manhattan is north and Downtown Manhattan is south, Tyson explained on the AMNH website that the borough of Manhattan is actually rotated so you can’t use that as your “azimuth” direction. “New Yorkers hardly look up,” Tyson continued. “To the extent that we do not look up, we are losing something fundamental to what it is to be alive on planet Earth and to have the mental capability to contemplate the cosmos itself.”

Are These the World's Most Dangerous Places if Global War Erupts?

Are These the World's Most Dangerous Places if Global War Erupts?

The world has seen escalating tensions over the past few years, and with ongoing conflicts and political standoffs, many fear that the outbreak of World War III could be more imminent than ever. As the possibility of a third world war looms, some experts have highlighted the six most dangerous places in the world if such a conflict were to ignite. Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin has made bold statements about his country’s readiness to fight, sending a chilling message to European powers. Here’s what you need to know about these developments and the regions most at risk in the event of a global war. Putin's Warning to European Powers: "No One Left to Negotiate" Russian President Vladimir Putin recently issued a stark warning to European nations, stating that if Europe were to start a war with Russia, Moscow would be ready for battle, per Reuters. Putin emphasized that any such conflict would end so swiftly for Europe that there would be no one left to negotiate a peace deal. "If Europe suddenly wants to start a war with us and starts it," Putin said, "then it would end so swiftly for Europe that Russia would have no one left to negotiate with." Putin has warned that Russia is ready for war. Credit: Contributor / Getty This statement comes as Russia continues its ongoing war with Ukraine, which began in February 2022, has resulted in one of the deadliest conflicts in Europe since World War II. Despite Russia's overwhelming military might, it has struggled to defeat Ukraine, which has been heavily supported by European nations and the United States. Putin dismissed concerns that a Russian victory in Ukraine might pave the way for an attack on NATO countries, calling such fears "nonsense". He also claimed that the current war in Ukraine is not a full-scale war and that Russia is taking a "surgical" approach, meaning a more calculated and restrained method compared to a direct confrontation with European powers. A World War probably isn't in Russia's interest either. Credit: Contributor / Getty Images. The Six Most Dangerous Places for World War III As the global geopolitical landscape grows increasingly volatile, many wonder where the safest places are if a global conflict were to erupt. According to an analysis from the Express , the following regions are considered the most dangerous in the event of World War III: USA – The United States is a key player in the global conflict, particularly in light of its recent military actions against Iran. If Russia and China were to join the fray, strategic U.S. sites could be targets in a broader war. Israel – Israel was already under attack from Iranian missiles, and tensions haven't exactly subsided. Iran – Iran's position as a key player in the Middle East and its ongoing conflict with Israel makes it a significant target. Any breakdown in the ceasefire would likely lead to further military action from the U.S. and its allies. Russia – Russia, already embroiled in the war with Ukraine, could find itself in a precarious position if the U.S. and NATO escalate the conflict. With nuclear missiles pointed at each other, the situation remains highly volatile. Taiwan – A disputed territory with China, Taiwan is a flashpoint in the Asia-Pacific region. If war breaks out, China may attempt to assert its control over Taiwan, drawing in global powers like the U.S. and Japan. North Korea – While not as militarily advanced as some of the larger powers, North Korea’s alliance with Russia and its unpredictable nature could make it a significant player in a global conflict. The North’s strategic positioning also makes it a potential target for regional or global powers. The USA would probably be unsafe. Credit: Lynne Gilbert/Getty Where Could You Be Safe in World War III? While these regions are considered the most dangerous, there are still a few places around the world that could offer safety in the event of a global war. According to The Daily Mail, these locations could provide a refuge from the worst of the conflict: Switzerland - Known for its neutrality and rugged mountainous terrain, Switzerland has built extensive nuclear shelters, making it a prime candidate for wartime refuge. Greenland - Its isolation and low population make Greenland a safe haven. With just 56,000 people, it is unlikely to be a target of global powers engaged in a major conflict. Iceland - Far removed from most global conflict zones, Iceland’s peaceful international relations and abundant geothermal resources make it an attractive refuge. Fiji - Located in the southwest Pacific Ocean, Fiji's isolation and natural resources would offer an ideal escape from global warfare. South Africa - With solid infrastructure, fertile land, and a relatively peaceful position outside of global conflict zones, South Africa is considered a potential safe spot. New Zealand - Known for its historical neutrality and remote location, New Zealand’s mountainous terrain offers natural protection from the world’s superpowers. Antarctica - For those seeking the ultimate escape, Antarctica is virtually ignored by global powers. Its harsh climate and uninhabitable nature make it the most isolated and secure place on Earth. Let's all move to Greenland. Credit: KenWiedemann / Getty Let's hope we never have to use this information! Featured image credit: Contributor / Getty

Erling Haaland's Unbelievable Regimen: The Diet and Rituals Behind His World Cup Dominance

Erling Haaland's Unbelievable Regimen: The Diet and Rituals Behind His World Cup Dominance

Erling Haaland eats beef hearts for breakfast, sleeps 10 hours a night with tape over his mouth, meditates before every match, and has scored in every single competitive game for Norway since October 2024. Now he is coming for England. The 25-year-old Manchester City striker has been the standout player at the 2026 World Cup , firing Norway into a quarter-final against the Three Lions after a tournament that has seen him rack up seven goals in four games. Norway, who had not qualified for a World Cup since 1998, are now one win away from the semi-finals - and the man leading the charge runs on a regime that makes most elite athletes' routines look casual. What does Erling Haaland eat? This is where it gets interesting. Haaland consumes around 6,000 calories a day - roughly three times the recommended intake for an adult male. His diet is built around whole, unprocessed foods with an emphasis on organ meats that most people would not touch. In his 2022 Viaplay documentary Haaland: The Big Decision, he was filmed carrying a bag of beef liver and heart from a local butcher. "People say meat is bad for you," he said. "But which meat? The meat you buy at McDonald's? Or the local cow eating grass right over there? "I eat the heart and the liver." British tabloids labelled the diet 'cannibalistic'. Nutritionists, on the other hand, pointed out that liver is arguably the most nutrient-dense single food that exists - packed with vitamin A, every B vitamin, folate, copper, iron, and high-quality protein. The rest of his daily intake includes fatty steaks (ribeye and tomahawk are his favourites), eggs, fresh fish, sourdough bread, and what he calls his 'magic potion' - a blend of raw milk, spinach, and kale that he carries to training sessions. He adds maple syrup and raw unpasteurised milk to his morning coffee, which he considers "a superfood if you do it right". His girlfriend, Norwegian footballer Isabel Haugseng Johansen, summed it up in a YouTube video: "Oh my god, he eats so much. Everything is about, 'When is the next meal? What should we eat? What shall we make?'" His one ritual that never changes is the lasagne his father Alf-Inge cooks for him before every home match. Pep Guardiola reportedly joked about hiring Alf-Inge as Manchester City's club chef. His rare cheat meal? A kebab pizza from his hometown of Bryne. "I never eat it, only on special occasions," he has said. "Maybe once a year, if I'm lucky." Erling Haaland has a freakish record in international football. Credit: Harry Langer/DeFodi Images/DeFodi via Getty Images How does Haaland train? The physical transformation has been staggering. A former coach at RB Salzburg described the teenager who arrived at the club as a 'Cyborgoal' - a football cyborg - after he gained 12 kilograms of muscle in just 15 months. His training regime prioritises speed, power, and endurance over heavy lifting. Former Salzburg coach Stanislav Macek revealed that Haaland was doing 300 press-ups and 1,000 sit-ups a day during his time at the club. He runs hill sprints repeatedly, favours HIIT sessions over traditional gym work, and finishes every session with 10 to 20 minutes of stretching and mobility work. At 6ft 4in and 94kg, he is built more like a sprinter than a traditional striker. He told AS that the weight gain was "gross muscle mass" rather than bulk, and that his diet was the driving force behind it. "The better food you put in your body, the better you're going to get things out of it," he said on the Man City podcast. "And performance as well." What about his recovery routine? This is where it tips from disciplined into obsessive. Haaland's daily recovery routine includes cryotherapy, red light therapy, hot stone baths, saunas, and personalised physiotherapy sessions. He wears blue-light-blocking glasses before bed. He tapes his mouth shut at night to encourage nasal breathing during sleep. He drinks only filtered water. He makes a point of getting morning sunlight and fresh air, and has said that one of his favourite summer habits is eating breakfast outdoors to regulate his circadian rhythm. He sleeps around 10 hours a night and has described sleep as the single most important factor in his performance. "Sleep is the most important thing," he told The Mirror. "I am obsessed with sleep. If I sleep well, I play well. It is the clearest connection in my life." He also meditates daily - the habit behind his famous cross-legged goal celebration. He has said it helps him "find an inner peace" that translates directly to how he plays. Haaland's diet and exercise regime is almost as unusual as his scoring power. Credit: Jean Catuffe/Getty Images Where does the 'Viking' identity come from? Haaland was born in Leeds in 2000 while his father Alf-Inge was playing in the Premier League for Leeds United. Alf-Inge also played for Nottingham Forest and Manchester City, creating a family legacy his son would later continue at the Etihad. Despite being born in England, Haaland grew up in Bryne, a small town on Norway's southwestern coast. He is fiercely proud of his Norwegian identity and has leaned into the Viking imagery more than most. In March, he spent 1.3 million Norwegian kroner - around $136,000 - to buy a one-of-a-kind 16th-century Viking history book and put it on public display in Bryne. Before the World Cup, Norway's squad posed as Vikings on the shore in full battle regalia. The team have since embraced the 'Viking Row' - a fan-created chant in which thousands of supporters sit on the ground in a longboat formation and row to the beat of a Norse horn and drum. It has become the defining image of the tournament, drawing comparisons with Iceland's 'Thunder Clap' at Euro 2016. Haaland and captain Martin Ødegaard joined the fans in performing the row after Norway's 3-2 win over Senegal, which confirmed their place in the knockout rounds. "I saw it online; it's gone completely viral," Haaland told Fox Sports. "Martin asked me before the game: 'Do you think we should join in?'" How good has he been at this World Cup? Historically good. Haaland has scored in every competitive game for Norway since October 2024 - a run of 14 matches and 27 goals that has no modern equivalent in international football. He scored twice in the 4-1 opening win over Iraq and has not stopped since. "I'm incredibly proud to make my World Cup debut and to win Norway's first World Cup match in 28 years," he said after that first game. "I hope people will party." Next up for Norway and Haaland is a clash with England. Credit: Nicolò Campo/LightRocket via Getty Images What happens next? England. In the quarter-final. A Manchester City striker coming up against the country of his birth. It is one of those fixtures that this World Cup seems to have been building towards. Norway were not supposed to be here, they had not qualified for a major tournament knockout stage in almost three decades. But Haaland, Ødegaard, and the Viking Row have turned them into one of the stories of the tournament - and England will know exactly what they are walking into. The 2026 World Cup has had no shortage of talking points, from travel ban controversies to surprise results. But few stories have captured the imagination quite like Norway's run - and the man at the centre of it who eats cow hearts for fuel and tapes his mouth shut before bed. England have been warned.

The Last Iron Lung Patient's Remarkable Journey Ends

The Last Iron Lung Patient's Remarkable Journey Ends

An Oklahoma woman, who was the last American patient to rely on an iron lung to live after she was diagnosed with polio at 5 years old, has died. Martha Lillard, who spent most of her life using the once-common breathing machine after contracting polio as a child, died June 26 at age 78 in Shawnee, Oklahoma, her sister Cindy McVey told The Associated Press.“They told her she wasn’t supposed to live past 20 years old,” McVey told the outlet on Friday. “She had the enthusiasm and the drive to continue living and make the best of her life.”McVey said long COVID contributed to Lillard’s death, while her death certificate lists chronic pulmonary failure and post-polio syndrome as the causes.Martha Lillard, 78, the last US polio patient to use an iron lung, died June 26 in Oklahoma, her sister confirmed. KFOR Oklahoma's News 4Lillard was just 5 years old when she came down with polio on her birthday in 1953 — two years before the first vaccine became available in the US.“I woke up and it was sunny outside, and I started to sit up, and my neck was killing me,” Lillard told KFOR just days before her death. “I couldn’t lift my head off the pillow.”“After four days, I went unconscious. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t move my arms or legs.”Lillard spent six months in the hospital, much of that time inside an iron lung, a full-body ventilator that uses changing air pressure to help patients breathe.“They usually didn’t like to put children in because [children] fought it, but I didn’t,” she said. “I liked it. It felt good to breathe.”Martha Lillard rests in her iron lung on Feb. 6, 2026 in Shawnee, Oklahoma. Cindy McVey via APPolio was once one of America’s most feared diseases, leaving thousands of children paralyzed during annual outbreaks before the vaccine became available in 1955. It was declared eliminated from routine spread in the US in 1979.Lillard eventually regained the ability to walk, but her right arm remained paralyzed and she lived with less than 25% lung capacity, according to a GoFundMe for her memorial.She used the iron lung while sleeping for years before post-polio syndrome and two bouts of COVID-19 left her dependent on it nearly around the clock during the final two years of her life.Despite her condition, Lillard attended school, lived on her own for years, cooked for herself and even drove. Lillard, who contracted polio at 5, outlived doctor predictions, with her sister attributing her death to long-haul COVID-19. KFOR Oklahoma's News 4Her family took road trips with a custom trailer built to transport the massive iron lung.Lillard also leaves behind her husband, Baha Salh, an Egyptian man whom she met on the internet and married in February. Lillard met Baha Salh after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, when she joined an online chat room to learn more about what had happened and stay up to date with current events.They spent more than 20 years talking online before marrying in February after he was finally granted a visa to travel to Oklahoma.“They were really soulmates,” McVey said. “He’s extremely brokenhearted.”Despite paralysis, Lillard prepared meals and even married a man in February after chatting to him online for 20 years. KFOR Oklahoma's News 4Lillard painted, wrote poetry and composed music for the left-hand piano. She also volunteered with the Humane Society and helped rescue abandoned dogs.Last year, when a tornado knocked out power to her iron lung, her husband kept her alive by performing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation until help arrived, KFOR reported.In recent years, Lillard and her family searched for someone who could repair the aging machine, whose parts dated back to the 1940s.“But since she’s the last one, we don’t need that anymore,” McVey said.With Post wires

Samantha's Name Dilemma: Why Her Email Address Sparks Awkward Conversations

Samantha's Name Dilemma: Why Her Email Address Sparks Awkward Conversations

A woman has revealed that every time she starts a new job, she ends up having the exact same awkward conversation with HR, all because of the initials created by her name. While many parents spend months choosing the perfect baby name, few stop to think about how a person's initials might look years later. For Samantha Hart, that small detail turned into an ongoing workplace headache thanks to the way many companies automatically create employee email addresses. Her story has since gone viral on TikTok , with thousands of people sharing their own unfortunate workplace usernames after discovering they were far from alone. HR always noticed the problem TikTok creator Samantha Hart, who posts as @thesam_show, explained that changing jobs was never stressful because of interviews or meeting new coworkers. Instead, she knew one conversation was almost guaranteed. “I always have to have the tough conversation about how my name fits into a company email structure,” she explained. Like many businesses, Samantha's employers used a standard email format that combined a person's first initial with their last name. For someone named John Smith, that would become "jsmith." For Samantha Hart, however, the result was something much more embarrassing. “My name is Samantha Hart,” she told viewers. “Most companies use the email designation of first initial, last name. Meaning my email would be… ‘shart.'” Rather than assigning the address automatically, Samantha said two different HR departments contacted her before she started work. “They told me that my name doesn’t exactly fit the email structure and would I mind if they gave me a different structure for my email.” Her answer was simple. “Yeah,” she laughed. “I don’t want an email that says ‘shart.’ Fix it. Give me something else.” When she accepted another position, the issue surfaced again. In another TikTok video, she joked about whether she should contact HR before they spotted the problem themselves. “Do I just reach out off the bat and say, ‘Look… you’re not going to want my email to be this?'” she joked. “Or should I let them come to me?” Thousands of people shared similar stories Samantha's videos struck a chord with viewers, many of whom filled the comments with examples of their own unfortunate workplace email addresses. One user, Chris Littmann, wrote: “Clittmann has entered the chat. Have been dealing with this since college.” Another woman named Samantha Wallo commented: “As Swallo I feel your pain.” Someone named Sue Hartlove said her work email became "shartlove," while others shared stories involving names such as Patrick Ecker, Tiffany Estes, and Rach Kelley. One commenter even revealed their employer abandoned its standard email format after realizing another employee's address would accidentally spell an offensive word. Another person joked: “Mine is literally Hater, so I understand.” Marriage finally solved the problem Fortunately for Samantha, the long-running email saga has finally come to an end. In April 2026, she shared an update on TikTok after getting married and taking her husband's surname. She is now Samantha Showalter, bringing an end to years of awkward conversations with HR. “My name is no longer shart,” she joked. “Shart is dead.” She even worked the joke into her wedding celebrations by placing potpourri in the venue's bathrooms with custom labels reading "Shart No More." Some guests immediately understood the reference, while others only got the joke after it was explained later in the evening. Samantha's experience has prompted many people to admit they now pay much closer attention to initials and even potential workplace email addresses when choosing names. It is a small detail that may not seem important at first, but as her story shows, it can quickly become the first thing HR notices. Featured image credit: @thesam_show / TikTok

The Hidden Life of Erling Haaland: What You Didn't Know

Erling Haaland has spent the World Cup looking like EA Sports built a novelty Viking player and maxed out every slider.Norway’s 6-foot-5 goal machine has become one of the tournament’s biggest attractions, scoring in bunches, bulldozing defenses and helping push Norway deeper into the tournament than ever before.But away from the noise, the goals and the growing global obsession, Haaland’s private life is far less cartoonish than his on-field résumé.At the center of that quieter world is Isabel Haugseng Johansen, his longtime girlfriend and the mother of his son.Erling Haaland’s World Cup dominance has put new attention on his quiet life with Isabel Haugseng Johansen. Getty ImagesIsabel Haugseng Johansen pictured with Erling Haaland. Instagram/@isabellaaTheir story starts in Bryne, Norway, the small town where both grew up and the location of the local club for which Haaland played.Johansen was a footballer herself, playing as a forward in the club’s women’s setup as a teenager. That shared background has become a meaningful part of their relationship. Haaland has said it helps that she understands the sport. The romance itself did not begin with a flashy celebrity introduction. It started much more simply. After Haaland had moved to Germany to play for Borussia Dortmund, Johansen reached out to him on Instagram.“She sent me a message,” Haaland previously said. “She was the one who checked me out. I wasn’t the one who checked her out.”Haaland may be one of the most larger-than-life athletes on the planet, but apparently even he needed a DM assist.<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="443" height="590" src="https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/www-instagram-com-isabellaa-132353962.jpg?w=768" alt="Isabel Haugseng Johansen " srcset="https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/www-instagram-com-isabellaa-132353962.jpg?quality=75&strip=all 3072w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/www-instagram-com-isabellaa-132353962.jpg?resize=225,300&quality=75&strip=all 225w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/www-instagram-com-isabellaa-132353962.jpg?resize=768,1024&quality=75&strip=all 768w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/www-instagram-com-isabellaa-132353962.jpg?resize=1152,1536&quality=75&strip=all 1152w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/www-instagram-com-isabellaa-132353962.jpg?resize=1536,2048&quality=75&strip=all 1536w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/www-instagram-com-isabellaa-132353962.jpg?resize=450,600&quality=75&strip=all 450w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/www-instagram-com-isabellaa-132353962.jpg?resize=442,589&quality=75&strip=all 442w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/www-instagram-com-isabellaa-132353962.jpg?resize=372,496&quality=75&strip=all 372w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/www-instagram-com-isabellaa-132353962.jpg?resize=483,644&quality=75&strip=all 483w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/www-instagram-com-isabellaa-132353962.jpg?resize=368,491&quality=75&strip=all 368w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/www-instagram-com-isabellaa-132353962.jpg?resize=212,282&quality=75&strip=all 212w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/www-instagram-com-isabellaa-132353962.jpg?resize=155,206&quality=75&strip=all 155w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/www-instagram-com-isabellaa-132353962.jpg?resize=53,70&quality=75&strip=all 53w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/www-instagram-com-isabellaa-132353962.jpg?resize=30,40&quality=75&strip=all 30w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/www-instagram-com-isabellaa-132353962.jpg?resize=41,54&quality=75&strip=all 41w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/www-instagram-com-isabellaa-132353962.jpg?resize=150,200&quality=75&strip=all 150w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/www-instagram-com-isabellaa-132353962.jpg?resize=231,308&quality=75&strip=all 231w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/www-instagram-com-isabellaa-132353962.jpg?resize=322,429&quality=75&strip=all 322w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/www-instagram-com-isabellaa-132353962.jpg?resize=300,400&quality=75&strip=all 300w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/www-instagram-com-isabellaa-132353962.jpg?resize=331,441&quality=75&strip=all 331w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/www-instagram-com-isabellaa-132353962.jpg?resize=45,60&quality=75&strip=all 45w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/www-instagram-com-isabellaa-132353962.jpg?resize=60,80&quality=75&strip=all 60w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/www-instagram-com-isabellaa-132353962.jpg?resize=1200,1600&quality=75&strip=all 1200w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/www-instagram-com-isabellaa-132353962.jpg?resize=44,58&quality=75&strip=all 44w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/www-instagram-com-isabellaa-132353962.jpg?resize=117,156&quality=75&strip=all 117w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/www-instagram-com-isabellaa-132353962.jpg?resize=38,50&quality=75&strip=all 38w" sizes="(max-width: 443px) 100vw, 443px">Isabel Haugseng Johansen wears Erling Haaland’s journey.

And when they return to Bryne, their ideal night can get even simpler: takeaway kebab pizza from Haaland’s favorite hometown chain, Yummy Time.On one hand, Haaland lives every bit like a global superstar.

She has also said fashion now reflects her “personality and mood,” while describing her style as elegant, modern and rooted in timeless pieces rather than in chasing every trend.Motherhood has shaped that evolution, too. Johansen has said her style has changed since having her son because she needs clothes that still let her move, run around and live real life.

She has posted from cities across the United States, celebrated his wins and shown pride in what Norway has accomplished.Norway forward Erling Haaland (9) walks back to the locker room after scoring two goals and defeating Brazil.

Instead of carrying every training session, missed chance or match into his personal life, he now has something at home that pulls him out of that world completely.That might be the most revealing detail of all.Haaland’s public image is all power: the sprinting, the scoring, the celebrations, the enormous appetite and the almost comical dominance. But the private version seems built around much smaller things: family, food, video games, home and a partner who knew him long before the rest of the world did.So while World Cup fans see the ponytail, the goals and the giant striker terrorizing defenders, Johansen gets the other version.

Harry Kane Reveals the Unexpected Truth About Trump's Golf Skills

Harry Kane Reveals the Unexpected Truth About Trump's Golf Skills

Donald Trump has made it very clear this week that he is a Harry Kane fan. After England's 3-2 win over Mexico at the Azteca, the President took to Truth Social to post: "Harry Kane of England is a GREAT player!!!" He later went further, telling reporters he had watched the game and that while he couldn't name most of the other players, he knows Kane. "I played golf with him, and I like him a lot," he said. "He's a good golfer. He's really great." It was quite the endorsement. And it turns out the admiration goes both ways. How did Trump and Kane end up playing golf? Speaking at his pre-match press conference in Miami on Friday, Kane confirmed that the round took place around 18 months ago in Palm Beach, after Trump invited him to play. "He invited me to play when I was down in Palm Beach," Kane told reporters. "When the President invites you somewhere... it was a pretty surreal experience just to meet him and obviously play golf with him." Kane is well known as one of the better golfers on the England squad and has strong connections in the US through his friendship with NFL legend Tom Brady. He spends time in Florida during the off-season from his club duties at Bayern Munich, which is how the invitation came about. "I played all right, to be honest," he said. Harry Kane. Credit: Anadolu/Getty What shocked Kane about Trump's golf? It wasn't the course. It wasn't the security detail. It wasn't the surreal experience of teeing off alongside the sitting President of the United States. It was how good Trump actually was. "His golf is pretty good, to be honest," Kane said. "I hope I can play as well as him when I'm his age. So, a unique experience. I was just grateful that he invited me down to play with him." Kane is 32. Trump is 80. The fact that a professional athlete came away impressed by the golf game of a man 48 years his senior says something, even if Trump's wider approach to fitness has raised a few eyebrows elsewhere. He has told reporters he exercises for "about one minute a day, max" and his Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has publicly said he does not understand how the President is still alive given his diet. Kennedy has defended the golf, though. "This guy walks nine miles a day on a golf course every weekend," he told Joe Rogan's podcast. Trump was quick to add: "When I'm not using a cart." Why is any of this relevant right now? Because Kane plays Norway tomorrow, and Trump is very much paying attention to this World Cup. On the same day he praised Kane on Truth Social, Trump also claimed credit for getting FIFA to overturn a one-match suspension for US striker Folarin Balogun ahead of the round of 16 clash with Belgium . "I'm the one that got them to do it," he said. The decision to suspend the ban for a year prompted accusations of political interference from pundits, players, and fans worldwide. Trump's response: "I didn't think it was a foul." Whether the President's support for Kane extends to actively backing England against Norway remains unclear. But he has form for picking favourites at sporting events, and right now Kane appears to be his man. Donald Trump playing golf. Credit: ANDY BUCHANAN/AFP via Getty Images How has Kane been playing? Very well. Six goals in five games puts him fourth in the Golden Boot race, behind Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe on eight, and Erling Haaland on seven. He rescued England against DR Congo in the round of 32 with a late header and an 86th-minute winner. He then converted the penalty that sealed a chaotic 3-2 win over Mexico, a game in which Jude Bellingham scored twice in 98 seconds and Jarrell Quansah was sent off for serious foul play. Kane has now made 15 World Cup starts, more than any English outfield player in history. He lost his voice during his post-match interview after the Mexico game from shouting so much on the pitch. Bellingham later joked that it was the most noise Kane had ever made. What about Norway? The quarter-final at the Hard Rock Stadium pits Kane directly against Haaland, whose 6,000-calorie diet and obsessive recovery routine has turned him into one of the stories of the tournament. Haaland has seven goals, including a brace that knocked out Brazil in the round of 16. Norway have not been at this stage of a World Cup since 1998. Kane played down the individual rivalry on Friday. "It's not about me versus him," he said. But the numbers are hard to ignore. Kane has six goals. Haaland has seven. The Golden Boot is wide open. A semi-final place is on the line. England have not won the World Cup since 1966. Norway have never been past the quarter-finals. Something has to give. Trump, presumably, will be watching from one of his Florida properties. Or from the presidential suite of his new Air Force One . His golf partner has a job to do first.

Trump's Dire Warning: U.S. Military Poised for Unprecedented Action Against Iran

Trump's Dire Warning: U.S. Military Poised for Unprecedented Action Against Iran

President Trump on Friday night doubled down on his threat to “decimate and destroy” Iran should the regime succeed in assassinating him. “1000 Missiles are Locked and Loaded and aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran, with thousands of more to immediately follow, should the Iranian Government act on its threat, pronounced in many corners of the Globe, to assassinate, or attempt to assassinate, the sitting President of the United States of America, in this case, ME!” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Orders have already been given, and the U.S. Military is ready, willing, and able, for a one year period of time, subject to extension, to completely decimate and destroy all areas of Iran – PRAISE BE TO ALLAH! ” he added.President Donald Trump speaks with reporters aboard Air Force One on July 8, 2026. AFP via Getty Images“I’ve been on their list for a long time. That’s what we’re dealing with,” Trump told The Post. “… The only thing is, I’ve left instructions — if anything happens, to just literally bomb them at levels that they’ve never seen before.”Iran has openly sought the president’s assassination since 2020, when Trump directed the attack that killed Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Gen. Qasem Soleimani.Late supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s son and successor, Mojtaba Khamenei, threatened Trump and the US in a written message Saturday.“We pledge to avenge the blood of the martyred leader and all the martyrs of these two wars from the criminal and disgraced killers,” Khamenei said in the message.The sequestered younger Khamenei, who was reportedly severely mangled in the airstrike that killed his father on the first day of the war, wrote that it was “the demand of the nation” to avenge his father’s death.Banners vowing revenge against Trump were on full display in Tehran this week as Iranians prepared to bury Ali Khamenei.One placard, held by dozens of Khamenei’s sycophants during a burial ceremony Thursday, read, “WE WILL KILL TRUMP.”Iranians hold up signs calling to kill Donald Trump during the funeral of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in Mashhad, Iran, on July 9, 2026. Heidari/SIPA/ShutterstockA giant banner calling for the death of Trump is unfurled in the streets of Iran during the Ali Khamenei’s funeral. Heidari/SIPA/ShutterstockElsewhere, crowds shouted, “I swear by the blood of the Supreme ‌Leader, Trump, ⁠we will kill you!”At the NATO summit in Turkey earlier this week, Trump openly talked about Iran’s desire to kill him. “They had leaders, they’re gone. Then they had another set of leaders, they’re gone. Now they have another set of leaders — they may be gone, who knows?” Trump said at the summit. “And you know what? I may be gone too. Because I’m their No. 1 target — it’s out all over the place. Because they’re scum.”“That’s the way they act and that’s the way they’ve done it for 47 years,” he added.
