http://youtu.be/a9BDcwOJxt4 A Missouri inmate was put to death Tuesday for a 2003 killing, in what is believed to be the first execution of a transgender woman in the US. Amber McLaughlin, 49, was convicted of stalking and killing a former girlfriend, then dumping the body near the Mississippi River in St. Louis. McLaughlin’s fate was sealed earlier Tuesday when Republican Gov. Mike Parson declined a clemency request. McLaughlin spoke quietly with a spiritual adviser at her side as the fatal dose of pentobarbital was injected. McLaughlin breathed heavily a couple of times, then shut her eyes. She was pronounced dead a few minutes later. “I am sorry for what I did,” McLaughlin said in a final, written, statement. “I am a loving and caring person.” Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/0...

http://youtu.be/ad1IOLrm1mM President Biden said Wednesday it was “embarrassing” that House Republicans were unable to select a speaker as party infighting continued for a second day. “That’s not my problem. I just think it’s a little embarrassing it’s taking so long and the way they’re dealing with one another,” Biden told reporters on the White House lawn as he departed for a trip to Kentucky. “The rest of the world is looking, and they’re looking at, you know, can we get our act together?” the president added as he prepared to host an infrastructure event with top Senate Republican Mitch McConnell in the minority leader’s home state.

http://youtu.be/08tdSIi7FqI An NYPD officer was suspended without pay after a viral video captured him punching a 14-year-old girl in the head during an after-school fight on Staten Island — prompting a swift rebuke from Mayor Eric Adams on Wednesday. During an unrelated appearance, Adams said he was “not pleased with what I saw on the video,” which was widely shared on social media. The footage showed the cop pummeling the teen as he and another officer tried to break up a brawl that broke out near Edwin Markham Middle School at around 2:45 p.m. on Tuesday. The officers were there on a foot post near Willowbrook Road and Forest Avenue and intervened in a fight between two girls, the NYPD said.

http://youtu.be/CGk6aV8UbTY A New Jersey woman accused of shooting her husband dead on Christmas Day claimed she killed him in self-defense — despite prosecutors pointing out that the victim was watching TV while naked in bed when he died. Marylue Wigglesworth, 51, from Hamilton Township, was ordered Tuesday to remain jailed until her murder trial stemming from the fatal shooting of her husband, 57-year-old David Wigglesworth. Atlantic County Superior Court Judge Patricia Wild refused to set a bond for Wigglesworth’s release because of the severity of the charge against her. Wigglesworth’s defense team argued that their client has been “overcharged” for acting in self-defense, claiming that the woman “feared for her life” during a fight with her allegedly abusive husband, according to ...

http://youtu.be/NgbGRDDm1Hg Alleged quadruple killer Bryan Kohberger appeared in a Moscow, Idaho, court for the first time Thursday, as one victim’s family stared at him from the first row of the gallery.

Kohberger was also officially assigned an attorney, public defender Anne Taylor. The 28-year-old accused of fatally stabbing four University of Idaho students were not asked to submit a plea for the four charges of first-degree murder and one charge of burglary he faces, but he has indicated he will eventually plead not guilty.

http://youtu.be/Fi-Om4Ykwvk CNN anchor Don Lemon blasted Prince Harry on Thursday for “airing family dirty laundry” as the first shocking allegations about royal drama leaked from his upcoming autobiography, “Spare.” During a discussion on “CNN This Morning” about potential fallout from the book, Lemon questioned Prince Harry’s decision to disclose such personal family matters – including an incident in which older brother Prince William allegedly physically attacked him during an argument about Harry’s now-wife, Meghan Markle. “I don’t know. Everyone has a family. I have arguments in my family. Am I going to put that out there for the whole world to see?” Lemon said. “I just don’t understand why on Earth he would want to put that out there. I know he’s selling a book but to me, it’s ju...

http://youtu.be/YKSh4jlXyAE Joe Rogan has expressed his “sincere” regret after a recent episode of his eponymous podcast featured an incendiary fake tweet abut the COVID-19 vaccine. Wednesday’s episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” consisted of a sit-down with evolutionary biology professor Bret Weinstein in which they chatted about the coronavirus jab. However, the host now admits the interview featured a doctored tweet falsely attributed to Florida intensive care specialist Dr. Natalia Solenkov. “I was informed last night that this tweet is fake,” Rogan, 55, tweeted in his apology on Thursday, before explaining how the episode’s segment was edited and subsequently removed. “The show was already out, so we initially decided to post a notice saying we got tricked,” Rogan said. “Then la...

http://youtu.be/moGvtefiH0U “That’s an attack plane, Dad,” said one of David Tellez’s young children as they spotted Mexican military aircraft touching down alongside their Aeromexico passenger plane early on Thursday. Then the gunfire began. “As we were accelerating for take-off, we heard gunshots very close to the plane, and that’s when we all threw ourselves to the floor,” Tellez said after the incident in the northern city of Culiacan. Violence broke out on Thursday throughout Culiacan after the arrest of Ovidio Guzman, the son of the notorious drug lord known as El Chapo, and a senior member of the Sinaloa cartel. Aeromexico said nobody on Tellez’s flight had been hurt. The Culiacan airport closed shortly after, as security forces patrolled the city, which was strewn with burned ...

http://youtu.be/FozFlIA_CVc A Louisiana cop is facing charges for plowing into an unrelated car during a high-speed chase on New Year’s Eve — leaving two high school cheerleaders dead. Officer David Cauthron, 42, of the Addis police force, was charged with two counts of negligent homicide Sunday in the deaths of Maggie Dunn, 17, and Caroline Gill, 16, according to WBRZ. Maggie’s brother Liam Dunn, a freshman at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, was reportedly critically injured in the crash.

http://youtu.be/N1tdmw6foIM Swimmers at Hillary’s Dog Beach near Perth, Western Australia, came dangerously close to death on Dec. 28 after a tiger shark was spotted lurking near the shore. Heart-stopping drone footage captured by beachgoer Sam Wood shows the giant predator in the clear and iridescent Aussie waters — just meters from unsuspecting bathers. At one point, the shark can be seen charging toward one woman before it drastically does a U-turn, deciding it’s uninterested in her. “I was worried that this could be an attack, and obviously I was quite scared,” Wood told a local news outlet following the shark sighting.

http://youtu.be/Iocxl7FAePE A Chinese military plane came within 10 feet of a US air force aircraft in the contested South China Sea last week and forced it to take evasive maneuvers to avoid a collision in international airspace, the US military said on Thursday. The close encounter followed what the United States has called a recent trend of increasingly dangerous behavior by Chinese military aircraft. The incident, which involved a Chinese Navy J-11 fighter jet and a US air force RC-135 aircraft, took place on Dec. 21, the U.S. military said in a statement. “We expect all countries in the Indo-Pacific region to use international airspace safely and in accordance with international law,” it added.

http://youtu.be/AQdEBhHydbo Wild video captures a passenger aboard a Thai Smile Airways flight being assaulted after he refused the crew’s instructions to raise his seat before takeoff. The incident took place in Bangkok on Monday as the plane was about to depart for Kolkata, India, NDTV reported. Flight attendants instructed the passengers to adjust their seats to the upright position and buckle their seatbelts — but one of them refused, saying he had a backache. Despite repeated requests, the man steadfastly refused to comply and told the crew they could report him to the captain if they wanted. Soon afterward, other passengers got tired of his antics and took the matter into their own hands. Read more at https://nypost.com/2022/12/30/brawl-erupts-on-thai-smile-airways-over-recline...

http://youtu.be/4hSat0qxvHI Time magazine is getting mercilessly mocked over an article about “the white supremacist origins of exercise” that claims racism was the motivator for the fitness movement. The mag ran the eye-catching headline Wednesday based on a chat with history professor Natalia Mehlman Petrzela, whose lessons at New York’s The New School often focus on Black Lives Matter protests. In the interview, the self-styled “scholar, writer, teacher and activist” insisted that being fat used to be “desirable” — and the push to work out in the 20th century was racism at work. The idea “that women should be lifting weights and gaining strength” started because racists thought that “white women should start building up their strength because we need more white babies,” she claimed....

http://youtu.be/G6AJCrT8Ijs One of former President Donald Trump’s top White House aides slammed his ex-press secretary Kayleigh McEnany as “a liar and an opportunist” in testimony to the House Jan. 6 committee. Former White House communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin, now a co-host on “The View,” criticized McEnany for helping Trump, 76, perpetuate false claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen, transcripts released by the Jan. 6 panel on Thursday reveal. “I am a Christian woman, so I will say this. Kayleigh is a liar and an opportunist,” Griffin told investigators during her scathing testimony. Griffin alleges that McEnany misled the public in an effort to stay in Trump’s “good graces” after his presidency. Read more at https://nypost.com/2022/12/29/trump-w...

Nikki Secondino was hit with the murder charge and other offenses after police initially believed that her dad, Carlo Secondino, was stabbed to death during an early morning home invasion at their Bensonhurst home.

http://youtu.be/-jDj2ztgG-0 A 28-year-old suspect is in custody in connection with the slayings of four University of Idaho students, NBC News reported Friday. Bryan Christopher Kohberger was taken into custody by police and the FBI around 3 a.m. Friday in Scranton, Pennsylvania, according to reports. Kohberger appeared in court Friday morning.

http://youtu.be/LNKGYrljxDw Self-proclaimed misogynist Andrew Tate has gone from being a divisive social media influencer to an accused human-trafficking rapist behind bars in Romania. But who exactly is the internet provocateur? For many, the American-British former kickboxer likely only came onto their radar this week when — ahead of his dramatic arrest Thursday — he went viral for being humiliated by Greta Thunberg. The cigar-puffing playboy — who once claimed to be the world’s first trillionaire — had tried to taunt the 19-year-old eco-warrior by bragging about the “enormous emissions” of his fleet of 33 cars. When he asked her for an email address to send a full list, she wittily clapped back: “yes, please do enlighten me. email me at smalld–kenergy@getalife.com.” But the now-vi...

http://youtu.be/29AodboHVZg Niagara Falls has been transformed into a partially frozen winter wonderland thanks to the recent wave of sub-zero temperatures gripping the region. The magical scene was captured in a series of breathtaking photographs that show frozen mist and sheets of ice blanketing parts of the iconic tourist destination at the border of New York state and Ontario, Canada. The icy spectacle formed as winter weather blasted the Northeast over the weekend, bringing frigid temperatures and a deadly blizzard to Buffalo, New York — roughly 25 miles south of Niagara Falls. But while parts of the falls were frozen, they almost never freeze completely due to the sheer volume of the water that gushes over — combined with the constant movement of the raging liquid.
