http://youtu.be/WLi__9016lo Dianne Feinstein was one of the Senate’s richest members throughout her trailblazing career — thanks to her billionaire husband. NY Post Senior Features Writer Michael Kaplan shares this story. While others in Congress struggled to make ends meet, sleeping in their offices to save on rent, Feinstein commuted from San Francisco aboard a Gulfstream G650 jet (pre-owned, the aircraft averages $61,815,000), sported expensive jewelry and flitted from one mansion to the next. Her last disclosure, in May, put her net worth at $69.4 million. For much of her wealth, Feinstein — who passed away Thursday in her Washington DC home at age 90 — could thanked her second husband, Richard Blum. He was an astute investor and the founder of Blum Capital Partners. But this y...

http://youtu.be/BIHh9FRPQq4 A New Zealand woman who murdered her three daughters before trying to kill herself has revealed she sleeps with teddy bears made from their clothing. South African doctor Lauren Dickason, 42, was found guilty in August of murdering her two-year-old twin daughters Maya and Karla and their six-year-old sister Lianè, at their home in Timaru, New Zealand on September 16, 2021.

They were not unanimous, voting 11-1 for conviction, a split ...

http://youtu.be/14uCoyzjj54 U.S. and other Western military assistance has been vital for Ukraine to fight back against the full-scale invasion launched by Russia in February 2022. Dmytro Kuleba said Kyiv was in talks with Republicans and Democrats in the U.S. Congress, and that the drama around the stopgap bill that averted a government shutdown on Saturday was an "incident" rather than something systemic.

http://youtu.be/grseAVd3Y14 House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was bullish Tuesday about his odds of holding onto the gavel despite a bid to oust him by fellow Republican Matt Gaetz — while Democrats indicated they would not throw McCarthy a lifeline to keep him in power. “At the end of the day, if you throw a speaker out that has 99% of their conference, that kept government open, that paid the troops, I think we’re in a really bad place for how we’re going to run Congress,” McCarthy (R-Calif.) told reporters ahead of an afternoon vote on a motion to vacate put forward Monday evening by Gaetz (R-Fla.). While nothing is final until the votes are cast, reports indicated that a handful of Republicans would join all House Democrats in backing Gaetz’s motion — meaning McCarthy would be the first-...

http://youtu.be/jRoQcP6Pc0g An alcoholic pickpocket — known affectionately as “Stoneman Willie” — who was accidentally mummified by a mortician trying out a new embalming technique will finally receive a proper burial after being on display at a Pennsylvania funeral home for 128 years. The unidentified man died of kidney failure in a Reading jail on Nov. 19, 1895. Undertaker Theodore Auman tried to preserve the body of the deceased using arterial embalming – and his experiment ended up working a little too well. For more than a century, “Stoneman Willie,” who has acquired a celebrity status in the area, has reposed at Auman’s Funeral Home. “We don’t refer to him as a mummy. We refer to him as our friend Willie,” said Kyle Blankenbiller, funeral director. “He has just been become such a...
