http://youtu.be/zU-EDK45YuU Hurricane Hilary is set to pummel Mexico’s northern Pacific coast Sunday morning before the storm hurdles north toward Southern California. The National Hurricane Center warned of “catastrophic and life-threatening” flooding expected across Mexico’s Baja California peninsula and large swaths of southwestern United States through Monday. The hurricane — which was downgraded to a Category 3 storm on Saturday, meaning winds of roughly 125 mph, after losing some steam overnight — has already started to dump rain on Mexico, with flash flood alerts already in effect ahead of the storm’s center, according to officials.

http://youtu.be/KUK5jsdMFMI Congressman Ronny Jackson was slammed to the ground and called a Texas trooper a “f—ing full-on d—” during his brief detainment last month outside a rodeo, according to newly released footage. Jackson’s tense encounter with authorities came as he attempted to help a teenage girl who was suffering from a medical episode. The doctor, who previously cared for Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump, lashed out after he was turned facedown and placed in handcuffs, according to the video obtained by the Texas Tribune.

http://youtu.be/rl7VTfcM528 President Biden finally publicly spoke about the deadly Hawaii wildfires Tuesday — although he seemed to forget the name of the devastated island of Maui and noted he prefers to keep his speeches to under 18 minutes but would make an exception in this case. The 80-year-old president addressed the deadliest US wildfires in more than a century after withering criticism for lounging on the beach Sunday and telling reporters “no comment” when later asked about the blaze. Biden seemed to grasp for the name of Maui during a brief detour Tuesday from prepared remarks loaded into teleprompters for his speech in Milwaukee, Wisc. — referring to it as “the one where you see on television all of the time. “I apologize because I try very hard to keep my speeches between ...

http://youtu.be/wC-i_dIa6ew The Texas marketing executive behind the viral “that motherf–ker is not real” plane meltdown assaulted a man in the terminal after she was dragged off the American Airlines flight — then laughed when cops questioned her about it. Police body-cam footage obtained by The Post shows the innocent bystander describing the random attack by Tiffany Gomas. “I was just sitting right here, and she just come and [demonstrating a shoving motion] pushing me and she [left],” the unidentified man told authorities. Gomas was kicked off a July 2 American Airlines flight from Texas to Orlando, after she launched into an epic caught-on-camera tirade following an argument over AirPods. The 38-year-old then continued her freak out in the terminal when she shoved the unsuspectin...

http://youtu.be/M58IZw_KP7g A 6-year-old boy was fatally shot in the head by a 9-year-old in Florida after the older child somehow got hold of a loaded gun and fired off a shot, authorities said. The tragedy took place shortly before 3 p.m. in Jacksonville on Monday when deputies received a call to the 5500 block of Shady Pine Street South regarding a person shot, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office. Responding deputies found two children at the home under the supervision of an adult, assistant Chief J.D.

The 6-year-old victim was rushed to the University of Florida Shands Hospital, where he died from a gunshot wound to the he...

http://youtu.be/92zXOU2wFEM North Korea finally confirmed Tuesday that US soldier Travis King is being detained in the country — nearly a month after he bolted across the border. King told investigators that he had decided to enter North Korea because he “harbored ill feelings against inhuman mistreatment and racial discrimination within the US Army,” officials said. The 23-year-old also expressed his willingness to seek refuge in North Korea or a third country, saying he “was disillusioned at the unequal American society,” the North Korean official news agency, KCN, said in a statement.

http://youtu.be/mro5Ykd7u9A A competitive female powerlifter responded to a record-breaking win from a transgender athlete who lifted 200 kilograms more than the second-place winner, calling it “completely unfair.” April Hutchinson discussed Anne Andres, a 40-year-old trans woman setting all-time records at the Canadian Powerlifting Union’s 2023 Western Canadian Championship Sunday.

http://youtu.be/5jaF7IMltJU Hundreds of Bank of Ireland customers rushed to ATMs across the country Tuesday night after a technical glitch allowed them to withdraw up to $1,000 in money they didn’t have in their accounts, according to local reports. Cars lined up outside the Bank of Ireland location in Lisduggan at 10 p.m. where customers were cashing in on the seemingly “free” cash, local station WLR reported. One person told the outlet that they withdrew more than $1,000 from their account — more than they had in their checkings. Another said they cashed out $500. Ireland’s national police, the Garda Síochána, told the Independent that it was aware of an “unusual volume of activity” at ATMs across the county. An IT error with the online app allowed customers to transfer up to $1,000...

http://youtu.be/M0iJSEuPttg Former President Donald Trump vowed to appoint a special counsel to probe the Biden family’s overseas business dealings if he wins a second term in office. While blasting the mounting legal complications in his path to the presidency one day after his most recent indictment, Trump claimed President Biden and the “Biden crime family will pay a price” for their alleged misdeeds. “As soon as I am reelected, I will appoint a real special counsel or maybe you’ll call it a special prosecutor … to look at all of these bribes kickbacks, crimes as well as the shameless attempt to cover up,” Trump pledged. “Justice will be done.” Back in the 2016 election cycle during the second debate, Trump similarly vowed to appoint a “special prosecutor” to examine Hillary Clinton...

http://youtu.be/3kmj3bDiFNY An Ohio teen is facing life in prison after being convicted of murdering her boyfriend and his friend by deliberately driving her car into a brick wall at 100 mph — with a judge calling her “literal hell on wheels.” Mackenzie Shirilla, 19, sobbed in court as she was found guilty of four counts of murder for the July 2022 crash that killed her boyfriend, Dominic Russo, 20, as well as fellow passenger Davion Flanagan, 19, Cleveland.com reported. “This was not reckless driving. This was murder,” Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Judge Nancy Margaret Russo told the court Monday. “She had a mission, and she executed it with precision,” said the judge, who is not related to the boyfriend Shirilla killed when she was just 17 simply because their months-long fling ...

http://youtu.be/bgmkgv-tttk Hawaiians have been forced to take charge of their own wildfire recovery efforts in light of what some are blasting as an incredibly slow response by the federal government. Professional surfer and Maui resident Kai Lenny said he and others sprang into action and got “boots on the ground” on the devastated west side of the island instead of waiting for the feds any longer. “For some of us we were kind of sitting back, waiting for help to arrive and then nothing was sort of happening. We were just in shock,” Lenny told CBS News. “I haven’t seen one state, one county, one federal official at any one of the donation hubs where people are most suffering,” Lenny continued. “As soon as you go to the west side, all of a sudden, you’re like, ‘Wow, why do I feel like...

http://youtu.be/TNQCZy5-AYw Nearly 900 flights in Japan were cancelled and 240,000 people were ordered to move to safety as a slow-moving typhoon crossed Japan’s main island of Honshu not far from the ancient capital of Kyoto, cutting off power to tens of thousands of homes. Typhoon Lan, approaching from the Pacific Ocean, made landfall early on Tuesday at the southern tip of Wakayama prefecture, some 250 miles southwest of Tokyo, bringing heavy rain and powerful winds across a wide swathe of central and western Japan as it moved north. Authorities issued flood and landslide warnings as rivers rose to the top of their banks, with parts of some bridges washed away.
