http://youtu.be/jJGZLEWkWDU At least four people were struck by the driver of a U-Haul truck who wildly drove onto sidewalks and led cops on a high-speed chase before being arrested in Brooklyn on Monday, police said. The man driving the truck first hit at least one person riding a moped near 5th Avenue and Bay Ridge Parkway in Bay Ridge around 11 a.m. before speeding off as cops followed, according to police. A shocking video surveillance video obtained by The Post shows the truck smash into the back of a moped — spinning the bike around and sending the driver to the ground — before jumping a curb and plowing through bikes left on the corner of 72nd Street and 3rd Avenue.

http://youtu.be/C3NGngmYuDQ A professor at Yale University has sparked outrage for suggesting that elderly Japanese residents should take part in a “mass suicide” by disembowelment to help the country deal with its rapidly aging population. Yusuke Narita, 37, an assistant professor of economics at the Ivy League school, has gained hundreds of thousands of followers on social media as he touted the controversial solution in multiple interviews and publications — but he’s also drawn ire, the New York Times reported. “I feel like the only solution is pretty clear,” Narita said during a news program in late 2021. “In the end, isn’t it mass suicide and mass ‘seppuku’ of the elderly?” he added, referring to the practice of disembowelment utilized by dishonored Samurai in the late 19th centur...

http://youtu.be/xPQOf8Fpe3I White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Monday the US has “no indication of aliens” after downing three unidentified flying objects — a day after a top general said he couldn’t rule it out. The trio of shootdowns — off Alaska’s Arctic coastline Friday, over Canada’s Yukon Territory Saturday and over Lake Huron on Sunday — follow the downing of a high-altitude Chinese spy balloon Feb. 4 off South Carolina’s coast. “I just want to make sure we address this from the White House,” Jean-Pierre said at the start of her regular press briefing. “I know there have been questions and concerns about this, but there is no — again, no indication of aliens or extraterrestrial activity with these recent takedowns.” Authorities have not yet recovered any wreckag...

http://youtu.be/5LoCk1gyx60 Pancreatic cancer is rising in the US, but rates are rising faster in young women — particularly black women. A report published in the peer-reviewed journal Gastroenterology found that rates of pancreatic cancer in women age 55 and younger have risen by 2.4% in comparison to men the same age, with scientists calling for more research into the alarming trend. “There’s a need to understand these trends, and to make changes today so this doesn’t affect women disproportionately in the future,” senior author of the study Dr. Srinivas Gaddam said in the press release. The figures were even more concerning for black women, with the rates 2.23% higher than in young black men.

http://youtu.be/YbN0zi0HNrM The mass shooter who killed three students and left five others in critical condition at Michigan State University was identified Tuesday as a 43-year-old local man who was previously busted with a loaded gun. Anthony Dwayne McRae was IDed after he was found dead of a suspected self-inflicted gunshot wound at 11:35 p.m., just over three hours after he first opened fire at the East Lansing campus. Cops again confirmed that he had no apparent connection to the university or a clear motive for the “heinous” attack. The killer was found with a weapon, police said, without detailing what it was. McRae was finally tracked down after a local resident called a tip line during the more than three hours he was hunted after shooting up two locations at the school, off...

http://youtu.be/R6KW5ZiwIXk Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg copped bipartisan heat Monday when he failed to address the catastrophic Ohio train derailment which released toxic chemicals into the air this month — but joked about Chinese spy balloons and moaned about a lack of diversity in the construction industry. “It couldn’t be a more exciting time for transportation,” Buttigieg, 41, said in a remarks at the National Association of Counties Legislative Conference in Washington, DC, where he discussed the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill signed by President Biden in 2021. “It’s had its challenges. I mean, if you look at what the American transportation systems have faced in the last two or three years partly because of the pandemic, we’ve faced issues from container shipping t...

http://youtu.be/I8EkNTQnDsw A former MSNBC host claims she was told she needed to have the network president vet her commentary if it included any criticism of Hillary Clinton before she ran for president in 2016. Krystal Ball, a former Democratic Party congressional candidate from Virginia, was a co-host of “The Cycle” from 2012 until 2015 for the left-leaning cable news channel owned by Comcast. Ball, 41, recalled her MSNBC monolgue in 2014 when she urged then-Sen. Clinton (D-NY) to not seek the Democratic Party nomination for president. “I did this whole thing that was like, ‘She sold out to Wall Street. People are gonna hate this lady. She’s like the terrible candidate for the moment. Please don’t run,'” Ball said during an appearance last week on Joe Rogan’s Spotify podcast “The J...

http://youtu.be/4eJsn7OZ4Ck Eerie video released Monday shows accused murderer Alex Murdaugh standing just feet from the shot-up bodies of his wife and son — and immediately pointing blame elsewhere for the brutal double slaying. At one point, the then-powerful South Carolina legal scion asks officers to confirm that both of his relatives are dead. “Did you check them? They are dead, aren’t they?” Murdaugh says, prompting a cop to respond, “Yes, sir, that’s what it looks like.” The police body-cam footage — previously only shown in court — initially captures Murdaugh standing with his arms crossed as a responding officer walks up to him next to the gunned-down bodies of his wife, Maggie, 52, and their 22-year-old son Paul in June 2021.

http://youtu.be/ZoZMWU8GcgA A college student who survived the deadly shooting that killed three students and critically wounded five others last night at Michigan State University was also at the horrific Sandy Hook massacre over ten years ago. “I am 21 years old, and this is the second mass shooting that I have now lived through,” Jackie Matthews said in an emotional TikTok video shared early Tuesday morning. Now a senior at MSU, Matthews was a student at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. on Dec. 14, 2012, when gunman Adam Lanza killed 20 students and six teachers and staff. Speaking from a room across the road from where Anthony Dwayne McRae gunned down several MSU students just hours before, Matthews said she still suffers from a “full-blown PTSD fracture” in her lowe...

http://youtu.be/MX12Udqx60A Scientists are reporting a breakthrough discovery: A $3-per-pill epilepsy drug may be used to “switch off” autism symptoms in mice, according to a new peer-reviewed study published Tuesday in Molecular Psychiatry journal. Autism spectrum disorder is a complex developmental condition that impacts how an estimated 5.4 million (2.2%) adults — and one in 44 children — in the United States perceives and socializes with others. It is often accompanied by abnormalities such as epilepsy or hyperactivity, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data. A team of experts at Germany’s Hector Institute for Translational Brain Research found that the medication lamotrigine — an anti-seizure drug first approved for use in the US in 1994 — was able to curb beh...

http://youtu.be/9cnVAt9hmpA Dramatic video footage shows a young minimarket clerk grabbing a large kitchen knife that a robber pressed into her stomach — then using it to chop at him as she chased him out of the Los Angeles store. Surveillance from Amaya’s Mini Market in Westlake shows the masked robber first holding the several-inches-long blade into the side of cashier Sayda Ventura, 26, then moving it to press into her abdomen. “He said, ‘Be quiet .. I’m killing you if you say something,” Ventura told Fox 11. Terrified, the staffer still decided to fight back — with the footage showing her screaming as she grabbed the knife with both hands, pulling it out of the startled robber’s grip. She then chased after him — repeatedly chopping down with the blade as the robber fled for his li...

http://youtu.be/ii1nuKPl_eY Dramatic cockpit audio confirms that two US Air Force pilots had difficulty tracking the unknown object they shot down over Lake Huron on Sunday — at one point debating between themselves about whether it was a balloon. The pilots of the F-16 Falcons from the Wisconsin Air National Guard were scrambled to intercept the object near the Canadian border, but were hampered in identifying it because of the glare of the sun. “I wouldn’t really call it a balloon … I don’t know what … I can see it outside with my eyes,” one of the pilots says on the recording obtained by the Drive. “Looks like something … there’s some kind of object that’s distended in the air. It’s hard to tell, it’s pretty small,” he says, pointing out that the glare in the cockpit is making it ...

http://youtu.be/3HW09-qs9aM The train that derailed in a small Ohio town was carrying more toxic chemicals than initially reported, it has been revealed, as officials Monday announced a town hall meeting to discuss the catastrophe would take place later in the week. The community of East Palestine was rocked by the Feb. 3 derailment that forced the evacuation of hundreds of residents before authorities conducted a controlled burn of the Norfolk Southern Railroad train cars’ chemicals to stop a potential explosion. Drone video captured by the NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board), showed nearly 20 charred passenger cars at the scene of the derailment. Smoke could also be seen rising from the blaze and filling the atmosphere. Toxins like volatile vinyl chloride, as well as phosgene...

http://youtu.be/u0UMn7JXkPg Joe Rogan shredded fired CNN anchor Brian Stelter, labeling him “a prostitute” for hosting a panel on disinformation at the World Economic Forum in Davos last month. Stelter, who was fired last year from his longtime gig as host of CNN’s “Reliable Sources,” surfaced in the Swiss ski town where the world’s elite gather every year. He hosted a panel — titled “The Clear and Present Danger of Disinformation” — whose participants included New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger, European Commission Vice President Vera Jourová, Internews CEO Jeanne Bourgault and Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass). “He’s with evil lizard people that are trying to control the world. That’s his bosses,” Rogan raged during Monday’s episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” which featured a gu...

http://youtu.be/6-By3axj6RA Scientists were left baffled after material broke off of the sun’s surface and created a tornado-like swirl around its northern pole. The remarkable phenomenon was caught by NASA on the James Webb Space Telescope and tweeted by Dr. Tamitha Skov, a space weather forecaster. “Talk about Polar Vortex!” she wrote last week. “Material from a northern prominence just broke away from the main filament & is now circulating in a massive polar vortex around the north pole of our Star. Implications for understanding the Sun’s atmospheric dynamics above 55° here cannot be overstated!” Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/02/09/piece-of-sun-breaks-off-stuns-scientists-very-curious/ #sun #nasa #telescope The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about...

http://youtu.be/VlbzxCZQej0 A Maine mom has called for an investigation into her 13-year-old daughter’s school after she claims a social worker gave the teen a gender-transitioning device known as a “chest binder” and encouraged her to keep it secret from her parents. Amber Lavigne, of Damariscotta, told the National Review that she found her daughter’s chest-flattening garment in December and confronted the teen, who claimed a friend gave it to her. “I want you to think long and hard if there’s anything else you want to share with me about this because I am going to reach out to your friend’s mom,” Lavigne said she told her daughter. The girl then admitted she got the device at the Great Salt Bay Community School, where she had been reassigned to a new social worker, Samuel Roy, accor...

http://youtu.be/zfdB8IuL-Ww A Texas man upset with the way power outages were handled following a storm last week attended a city council meeting Thursday dressed as a clown, claiming he was suited for the job of Austin Energy CEO. More than 348,000 residents were affected by the storm. During the public statement portion of the meeting, Alex Strenger, an entertainer known for his performances at city council meetings, was called to the podium to address council members. Wearing a rainbow-colored wig, face paint, a big red nose and a multicolored polka dot tie with a yellow shirt, Strenger said he wanted to speak “in support” of items 39 and 81 because “there needs to be accountability for what happened.” According to the agenda listed on the city’s website, Item 39 addressed the remov...

http://youtu.be/uq2AebY-0nE A rural Texas county with just 800 citizens saw 7,400 illegal migrants arrested last year — but admits thousands more are getting away. Terrell County, which has more cacti than residents, arrested nine border crossers for each of its citizens according to Sheriff Thaddeus Cleveland — a 540% increase in the number captured since 2020. Numbers have exploded as the southern border is besieged by millions running away from failing states in Southern and Central America, and desperation is pushing smugglers to make the days-long trek through his territory, which is why he’s asking Gov. Greg Abbott for desperately needed help. “It is imperative we expand border security operations here as cartel operatives continue to operate and increase their smuggling routes t...

http://youtu.be/heKBtIFqOp8 President Biden got off to a rocky start right off the bat for his State of the Union address Tuesday night when he incorrectly referred to his party’s majority leader, Sen. Chuck Schumer, as the “minority leader.” And the hits just kept on coming, at times drawing laughs from across the aisle. “Congratulations to Chuck Schumer, another, uh, you know, another term as Senate Minority Leader,” the 80-year-old president said just a few minutes into his 72-minute-long speech. Schumer, 72, has been the Senate majority leader since January 2021. “You know, I think, you know, this time you have a slightly bigger majority, Mr. Leader. You know, majority leader, but that much bigger,” Biden fumbled further after the gaffe, trying to correct himself. Read more at...

http://youtu.be/5D-LMema2RI The Church of England is considering scrapping centuries of religious teaching to give God gender-neutral pronouns. The church, which is headed by King Charles III, confirmed that its Liturgical Commission has launched a special project to examine updating future teachings. Some priests have already made such changes, dropping references of “he” and “him” to simply “God” or even “they” and “them,” and rewriting the “Our Father” that starts the Lord’s Prayer to “Our Father and Mother.” One unidentified priest defended the updated language — while conceding to The Times of London that critics “think we’re being a bit woke.” Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/02/08/church-of-england-might-give-god-gender-neutral-pronouns/ #religion #england #churchofengland...

http://youtu.be/DJZxLKGHzqc Sen. Mitt Romney called serial liar Rep. George Santos a “sick puppy” and said the Long Island Republican didn’t “belong” in the House chamber in a heated exchange before President Biden delivered his State of the Union address. The veteran Republican senator scolded the truth-averse freshman lawmaker for taking a prime and highly-visible, center-aisle seat in the chamber as members of Congress piled in for Biden’s speech Tuesday evening. “You don’t belong here,” the Utah Republican said to Santos, who had admitted to lying about parts of his past and is facing several investigations into his campaign finances.
