http://youtu.be/M2byjcUpIA4 A conservative legal watchdog group is demanding that LinkedIn take down its “Diversity in Recruiting” feature, claiming it’s in violation of last week’s Supreme Court ruling against race-based affirmative action in higher education. The Microsoft-owned tech company professes to have 930 million members in more than 200 countries worldwide and acknowledge it collects demographic data that “may diversify the group of candidates displayed to recruiters.” The Equal Protection Project attorneys, William Jacobson and Ameer Benno, sent their concerns to the LinkedIn headquarters in Sunnyvale, Calif. on July 5 after the nation’s highest court struck down race-conscious admissions programs at Harvard and the University of North Carolina as unconstitutional. The impl...

http://youtu.be/yyvVKUsTGmw One of the two Iowa teens that bashed their high school Spanish teacher to death with a baseball bat over a bad grade was sentenced Thursday to life in prison. Willard Miller, 17, could be eligible for parole after 35 years behind bars for the vicious murder of 66-year-old Nohema Graber in 2021. Miller stared ahead with little emotion as District Court Judge Shawn Showers handed down the hefty sentence, noting that it was fitting despite Miller’s young age because he had “cut Nohema Graber’s precious life short,” devastating her family and the community. “I find that your intent and actions were sinister and evil. Those acts resulted in the intentional loss of human life in a brutal fashion. There is no excuse. There is not a systemic, societal problem that ...

http://youtu.be/65QrpUPKZJo Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen was arrested in Washington, DC Thursday during a protest in support of Wikileaks publisher Julian Assange. Cohen, of the popular Vermont-based ice cream brand, decried the US’s prosecution of Assange as an attack on freedom of the press outside the Department of Justice building along with the feminist activist group CODEPINK. Cohen and CODEPINK co-founder Jodie Evans were both arrested for blocking the entrance to the DOJ building as they sat in front of the pathway for nearly an hour in the pouring rain, video shows. At the start of the protest, the ice cream executive lit a “Freedom of the Press” sign on fire as he said: “Freedom of the press is going up in smoke.” “There’s no democracy without freedom of the press ...

http://youtu.be/kg2aC4fFS2s NATO's secretary general outlined a three-point plan to help Ukraine in its fight against Russia which he hoped would be agreed to by members of the bloc during a summit in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius next week. Jens Stoltenberg told journalists in Brussels on Friday that the proposal includes setting up a "multi-year program of assistance to ensure full interoperability between the Ukrainian armed forces and NATO." He also said that a "NATO-Ukraine Council" would be setup to "upgrade" the bloc's "political ties' with the conflict-ridden country. The third point of the plan will focus on member states reaffirming Ukraine's future membership in NATO, Stoltenberg said. Stoltenberg also told Friday's news conference that "further major steps" would be taken...

http://youtu.be/wQNy_Xh0SrM A bikini-clad woman in Lakewood, Colo., was captured on video unleashing a racially fueled verbal assault against a Latino family — calling them “trash” for having a pool party around the Fourth of July. The video posted on a family member’s TikTok on Tuesday showed an unidentified blond woman, wearing sunglasses and a leopard print swimsuit, become enraged while spewing racial comments at the family. The woman then noticed she was being filmed and attempted to grab the phone. “You can’t do that. You can’t just record me,” she proclaimed while she marched toward the camera and slapped the phone out of their hand.

http://youtu.be/2uEHnTSIfh8 Italian surgeons had to reconstruct a man’s face using his leg bone after removing a massive 3-pound jaw tumor that was impeding his quality of life. “It is a demanding and complex operation,” lead surgeon Professor Alessandro Baj told Newsflash of the face-saving procedure, which transpired at the Galeazzi-Sant’Ambrogio hospital in Milan. The 38-year-old man, identified only as Angelo, reportedly had a benign growth so big that it inhibited his eating and breathing. Accompanying pics show the colossal protuberance, which completely envelops his face.

http://youtu.be/ADQZ9fcaCtY A Florida woman kept her cool as a hammerhead shark closely followed behind her paddleboarding excursion in the middle of the sea. Malea Tribble of Fort Lauderdale was competing Monday in the Crossing For Cystic Fibrosis event — an 83-mile paddle race from Bimini in the Bahamas to Lake Worth Beach, Florida — when the giant fish began stalking her. She was about halfway across the Gulf Stream — nearly 40 miles from Florida — when the hammerhead made its presence known. “I initially felt a few taps on the bottom of my board, but I dismissed it, thinking I picked up some seaweed on my fin,” Tribble told Fox 35.

http://youtu.be/-Kw9Tc3hYYk Openly gay Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on Sunday accused Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis of using “oiled-up shirtless bodybuilders’’ to try to prove his masculinity in an ad attacking Donald Trump. The controversial clip features Trump, who is vying against DeSantis for the GOP presidential nomination, crowing in 2016 that he would “do everything in my power to protect our LGBTQ citizens” — as multiple images of DeSantis and shredded bare-chested men are interspersed between the perceived dig and others targeting the former president. “I’m going to leave aside the strangeness of trying to prove your manhood by putting up a video that splices images of you in between oiled-up, shirtless bodybuilders,” Buttigieg said with a sigh on CNN’s “State of the Uni...

http://youtu.be/vGh9pdSQNdc A 25-year-old missing Houston man was reportedly found alive Saturday with cuts and bruises all over his body after he vanished as a teenager eight years ago, according to officials and family. Rudy Farias, reported missing in 2015, was miraculously reunited with his family Saturday, the Texas Center for the Missing tweeted in a shocking update Sunday. Farias, then 17, disappeared while he was walking his two dogs near his family’s home. While the dogs made it back home, Farias never did, according to a missing person organization. The young man is now in the hospital after good Samaritans called 911 when they spotted him outside a church unresponsive, his mother said, according to reports.

http://youtu.be/n1su5_HOMNw Former Vice President Mike Pence on Sunday appeared to deny a report that he faced pressure from Donald Trump to push the governor of Arizona for evidence that would back up the then-president’s false claims of election fraud in 2020. Multiple sources told The Washington Post in an article published Saturday that Trump, 77, had repeatedly requested Pence “call [then-Gov. Doug] Ducey and prod him” — and that the VP held several conversations with the Republican governor but declined to follow the instructions to pressure him. Pence, in an interview on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” confirmed that he “did check in” with Ducey and other governors whose states were “reviewing their election results” at the time, but said, “there was no pressure involved.” “I was callin...

http://youtu.be/Y8x574JYho8 A Hawaiian Airlines flight experienced turbulence over the weekend so strong that it sent people flying out of their seats, injuring several flight attendants and passengers, including three who were hospitalized. Five hours into an 11-hour flight from Honolulu to Sydney, Australia, on Friday, the plane began to experience “unexpected severe turbulence,” the Guardian reported. “The plane just dropped. We weren’t prepared.” Sultan Baskonyali, a passenger aboard the chaotic flight, told ABC News. The extreme turbulence caused the ceiling of the plane to bust open and oxygen masks to deploy, leaving passengers in a tizzy. Amid the frenzy, some travelers shot out of their seats, banging their heads on the roof of the plane. Read more at https://nypost.com/2023...

http://youtu.be/Z-esg_PypYw Joe Rogan once again took a shot at Dylan Mulvaney, calling the trans influencer “mentally ill” and an “attention whore” after the social media star broke her silence about the Bud Light boycott. Rogan made the comment during Thursday’s episode of the Spotify podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience,” which featured an interview with rapper-actor Ice Cube. The two-and-a-half-hour conversation between Rogan and Ice Cube eventually touched on the Bud Light controversy. “The only time [capital] respects opinions is when people boycott s–t and it works like this Bud Light thing, and now people are like, ‘Don’t do that again,'” Rogan said, alluding to the steep drop in sales of the brand since Mulvaney started touting the beer on her social media accounts on April 1. “...

http://youtu.be/Xd00CqCzepM A one-time top spokesman for former President Donald Trump says she saw the embattled Republican show off classified documents to guests at his Mar-a-Lago resort. Stephanie Grisham, who served as both White House communications director and press secretary — as well as press secretary and chief of staff to then-first lady Melania Trump — made the claim on MSNBC’s “Alex Witt Reports” Saturday when asked about her former boss’s alleged mishandling of the top secret files. “I watched him show, uh, documents to people at Mar-a-Lago on the dining room patio. So, he has no respect for classified information. Never did,” Grisham told Witt. The 46-year-old then referenced a recently surfaced audio tape of Trump, 77, discussing and apparently showing off “highly conf...

http://youtu.be/iAxU3nsiJt8 Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky has said he will not consider his country victorious in its 16-month war with Russia so long as Moscow holds Crimea. “We cannot imagine Ukraine without Crimea. And while Crimea is under the Russian occupation, it means only one thing: War is not over yet,” Zelensky, 45, told CNN in an interview over the weekend. When pressed on whether he thought there could be a scenario of “victory and peace” in which Crimea is not part of Ukraine, the onetime actor and comedian stated: “There will not be victory there.” Russia annexed Crimea in 2014, after popular protests led to the ouster and exile of Ukraine’s pro-Russian president, Viktor Yanukovych. Prior to Russia’s annexation, which was condemned by the US and its allies, the s...

http://youtu.be/v76-I55ZMDM A Florida woman who shot a mom of four dead through her locked front door was once branded a “psycho” by a responding deputy after repeatedly calling cops to complain about the victim’s noisy kids. Newly released body-cam footage shows the numerous instances that Susan Lorincz, 58, had called the police on 25-year-old Ajike Owen over local children playing near her rental apartment in Ocala. Lorincz faces a manslaughter rap for fatally blasting Owens June after the spiraling feud over the noise. Critics have argued that the crime is deserving of a murder rap, asserting that Owens was unarmed. “When they come on the side here I just can’t hear my clients,” the insurance broker tells responding deputies after calling 911 in February. “That’s not fair to me.” ...

http://youtu.be/DoqA6Dfd9eI A woman aboard an American Airlines flight caused quite the scene when she was caught on camera freaking out and heading for the exit over an apparent passenger she said was “not real.” The bizarre, expletive-laden meltdown that went viral Monday reportedly occurred as the flight was preparing to depart Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. “I’m telling you, I’m getting the f–k off and there’s a reason why I’m getting the f–k off and everyone can either believe it or they can not believe it,” the woman yells as she paces to the front of the plane, according to footage of the incident circulating on TikTok. “I don’t give two f–ks, but I am telling you right now – that motherf–ker back there is NOT real.” She then points to the rear of the plane, prompting...

http://youtu.be/zBVLaigHNaQ President Biden on Thursday wandered off the set of a live television interview on MSNBC before the show even cut to a commercial break. With the cameras still rolling, Biden got out of his chair, shook hands with host Nicolle Wallace and awkwardly walked away after she thanked the 80-year-old president for granting her a rare interview. “Don’t go anywhere,” the MSNBC host told viewers as Biden made his exit, walking directly behind her. It is unusual for guests to leave the set of cable news shows before the host tosses the program to a commercial break. The clip of Biden walking off, apparently oblivious that the program was live, quickly went viral.
