http://youtu.be/qiWA7Bf9ak4 Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is expected to announce his bid for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination in a matter of days, deflected a reporter’s question Monday when asked about a series of polls showing him lagging former President Donald Trump. “Governor, polls show you falling behind Trump. Any thoughts on that?” an English-speaking reporter asked DeSantis during a press conference in Tokyo. “I’m not a candidate, so we’ll see if and when that changes,” the 44-year-old said. Footage of the exchange aired by CNN appeared to be edited to show the governor struggling for a response to the question. DeSantis reportedly has said he intends to launch a White House run later this year, with an announcement expected sometime after the Florida legislative...

http://youtu.be/RK-t6ac2ngk A San Francisco Target store has been putting all of its products on lockdown amid a shoplifting crisis that has crippled retailers in the Golden Gate City. Footage of the store’s interior posted to TikTok Thursday showed aisle after aisle of toiletries and cosmetics under lock and key in the megachain. While it’s common for stores to lock up small valuable items like razors, heaps of inexpensive large items like mouthwash, shampoo and lotion were also being kept out of reach from the grubby hands of would-be shoplifters, the clip showed. The cosmetic confinement had been underway since at least October of last year at the Folsom Street store near the city’s Mission District, according to WNCT-TV.

http://youtu.be/p6HUiGn3PyA Don Lemon, the controversial anchor of “CNN This Morning,” is out at CNN. CNN CEO Chris Licht circulated the news via a memo Monday. “CNN and Don have parted ways,” Licht said. “Don will forever be part of the CNN family, and we thank him for his contributions over the past 17 years. We wish him well and will be cheering him on in his future endeavors.” Lemon tweeted Monday that he was informed that CNN fired him via his agent, UTA’s Jay Sures. “I was informed this morning by my agent that I have been terminated by CNN. I am stunned after 17 years at CNN I would have thought that someone in management would have the decency to tell me directly,” Lemon wrote.

http://youtu.be/IKA3Kb0DtFw New data further points to a connection between poor sleep and Alzheimer’s disease, according to researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri. The FDA-approved insomnia pill known as suvorexant (under the brand Belsomra) was seen to reduce harmful proteins associated with the disease in subjects who took it before bed, the team reported. They added that sleep disturbances can be a major, early warning sign of the neurodegenerative illness. Although the study was small and only conducted over a two-night span, it shows “proof-of-concept,” said senior author Dr. Brendan Lucey of the university’s sleep center. “We don’t yet know whether long-term use is effective in staving off cognitive decline, and if it is, at what dose and ...

http://youtu.be/QbjNtxQJSow Researchers flabbergasted the science community after discovering the world’s second largest blue hole in Mexico — which could potentially provide a window into life on other planets. The massive sapphire sinkhole was originally discovered in 2021, but was only documented recently in the scientific journal Frontiers In Marine Science. It is likely “the deepest known blue hole in the region,” according to the scientists, who were affiliated with the public research center El Colegio de la Frontera Sur (Ecosur). Known in scientific circles as Karst formations, blue holes are actually vertical marine caves that were carved over thousands of years by glacial runoff during the Ice Age, according to Discovery.com.

http://youtu.be/AxgQeRzK_bU A United Airlines flight bound for Israel landed back in Newark after a passenger got into a shouting match with crew members. The “disruptive passenger” was on Flight 90, which departed from Newark Liberty International Airport on Sunday morning. But the plane made a U-turn about three hours into the 10-hour trip, the airline confirmed. An eyewitness told the Israeli media outlet Ynet that the unidentified man wanted to use the bathroom and chose to wait in a seat assigned to crew members only. When a flight attendant chastised him, the man got into a shouting match with the employee, who threatened to turn the plane around.

http://youtu.be/UAvfrdLdBv0 President Biden’s top national security aide Jake Sullivan was asked point-blank Monday if he was part of an influence-peddling conspiracy benefitting Biden’s family — after a former White House stenographer made the accusation earlier this month and demanded to speak to both the FBI and a Delaware grand jury. Sullivan, 46, gave a single-word answer — “no” — when asked by The Post for a response to the allegation by Mike McCormick, who outed the current White House national security adviser as an anonymous vice presidential press source who spoke nine years ago to reporters aboard then-VP Biden’s jet. McCormick says Sullivan touted Ukrainian natural gas aid aboard Air Force Two on April 21, 2014, while flying to Kyiv just days after then-second son Hunter Bid...

http://youtu.be/hYAZfYRO158 Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Sunday called Ron DeSantis the “weaker” contender in a potential GOP presidential matchup between the Florida governor and former President Donald Trump. “You can’t out-Trump, Trump, right?” Ocasio-Cortez said of DeSantis in an interview with MSNBC’s Jen Psaki. “And that’s what he has really been trying to do.” DeSantis and Trump are largely considered the GOP’s top candidates for the party’s 2024 presidential nomination, though the Sunshine State governor has not yet declared his candidacy. “I think that Governor DeSantis has made some very large critical errors,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “And I think he’s weaker.” Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/04/24/aoc-says-desantis-is-a-weaker-gop-presidential-contender-than-trump/ #a...

http://youtu.be/PsNkLyuC2oI A judge has ruled that Hunter Biden must attend all court hearings related to his ongoing Arkansas paternity case. “From now on … I want both of your clients at every hearing I conduct,” Independence County Circuit Judge Holly Meyer told attorneys representing Hunter Biden and Lunden Roberts, the mom of his 4-year-old unacknowledged daughter, Navy. Meyer lashed out at the attorneys on a Zoom call Monday, complaining that litigation was taking too long. “I will no longer allow us to excuse clients,” she warned, according to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. Hunter, 53, will be required to be present during the next in-person hearing scheduled at 9 a.m. May 1.

We wish him well. And we’ll be cheering him on in his future endeavors,” she said. Harlow said Lemon “was one of my first friends here at CNN.” “I’m so thankful to have worked alongside him and for his support for nearly 15 years here, and I wish him all good things ahead,” she said.

http://youtu.be/sx-8lY1hNOc President Biden stumbled over Rep. Jahana Hayes’ (D-Conn.) name during remarks at the White House on Monday, instead calling her “Jonah.” The 80-year-old president’s latest gaffe happened as he celebrated the 2023 Teachers of the Year from each state, as well as the National Teacher of the Year, during a Rose Garden event. Hayes, who was first elected to the House in 2018, is herself a former National Teacher of the Year award winner. “Thank you for the members of Congress here today, including two outstanding educating congresswomen: Jonah,” Biden said, apparently referring to Hayes. “And by the way, Jonah Hayes is — Jonah, where are you? There you are, Jonah, right in front of me,” he went on. Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/04/24/biden-flubs-...

http://youtu.be/LxkQJ2BgA24 Joe Rogan dubbed transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney an “attention whore” for partnering with Bud Light — and eviscerated its sister brand’s patriotic new ad as a “stupid” attempt at damage control. The firebrand comedian let his feelings on the matter known, again, on a recent episode of his popular podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience,” where he unleashed a foul-mouthed tirade while interviewing stand-up comic Jim Breuer. The former “Fear Factor” host took aim at Bud Light for recruiting Mulvaney, a TikTok star who underwent a gender transition within the past year, to help overhaul the brand previously associated with what Rogan called “old sort of frat culture.” “And so they’re gonna change that with this crazy attention whore on day 365 of being a woman...

http://youtu.be/zBSDwgi06zE Four passengers have been arrested following two alleged midair brawls that prompted an emergency landing during a flight in Australia. Australian Federal Police (AFP) and Northern Territory Police confirmed charges were brought after an unnamed flight from Queensland to the Northern Territory on Thursday evening. “The AFP was called to attend an incident on a flight from Cairns to Groote Eylandt, which had caused the flight to be turned around, on Thursday, April 20,” an AFP spokesperson told news.com.au in a statement. In a video of part of the incident, a group of rowdy passengers can be seen standing near the aisle where one of them allegedly raises a bottle above their head seemingly to strike another passenger.

http://youtu.be/Agz-vTRx2LE A transgender runner is under fire for crediting “girl power” for beating nearly 14,000 others in the female category of the London Marathon — just months after racing in New York as a man. Sports bra-wearing racer Glenique Frank — who ran the New York Marathon on Nov. 6 as Glen Frank — went viral after stopping to talk to a BBC reporter covering the UK race Sunday. “London is the best!” the 52-year-old runner said of her 17th marathon, which last year included Tokyo and Chicago and will include all of the “six majors,” including Berlin and then Boston. “Girl power!” Frank said of her marathon efforts while flexing her bulging biceps above rainbow-colored armbands. The runner — whose social media still shows photos of her running earlier races as a balding ...

Some 200 freshly dug graves decorated with wreaths bearing symbols associated with the notorious paramilitary organization have been observed at the Gusynobrodske cemetery in the city of Novosibirsk.

http://youtu.be/gaTKbL8xmiI The mummy of a youngster who lived more than 1,000 years ago in Peru has been discovered by archeologists at a burial site known to house the remains of victims of human sacrifice. The discovery dating back to pre-Inca times was made Monday on the outskirts of the capital of Lima. The mummy, still bearing pieces of skin and tufts of hair, was found in an underground tomb wrapped in a funerary bundle, along with ancient ceramics and rope. Archaeologist Yomira Huaman, in charge of the Cajamarquilla research project affiliated with the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, described the mummified teen as being in a “good state of conservation.” Although Peru is best known for the world-famous Inca royal retreat Machu Picchu, the South American country was ...

http://youtu.be/MtuU2uaJpKU A “demonic” MS-13 gang member robbed and dismembered an Uber Eats driver in Florida last week as his wife waited for him to complete his final delivery of the night, police announced Tuesday. Oscar Solis, 30, who moved to the Sunshine State in January after being sprung on parole from Indiana, allegedly “yanked” Randall Cooke, 59, into his home on April 19 and butchered him, according to Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco. “He was just a guy trying to make a living for his family,” Nocco said at a press conference, calling the murder “demonic.” Cooke texted his wife at 6:43 p.m. to tell her he was en route to his last delivery and would be home soon. When her ensuing texts went unanswered, Cooke’s wife contacted police and reported him missing later that nigh...

http://youtu.be/v-MijW5F0-o Controversial transgender swimmer Lia Thomas slammed her “feminist” adversaries as misogynistic transphobes who reduce women to the value of their reproductive abilities. The NCAA gold medalist told fellow trans swimmer Schuyler Bailar that her own University of Pennsylvania teammates displayed fraud feministic beliefs when they wrote a 2022 letter asking the division to bar Thomas from competition. “They’re like, ‘Oh, we respect Lia, as a woman, as a trans woman or whatever, we respect her identity, we just don’t think it’s fair.’ You can’t really have that sort of half-support where you’re like, ‘Oh, I respect her as a woman here, but not here,'” Thomas said in a Monday episode of Bailar’s new podcast “Dear Schuyler.” “They’re using the guise of feminism t...

Locomotive Engineer William Kennedy was operating a southbound Hudson Line train around 3:15 p.m. on April 6 when he spotted the child on the northbound tracks near Tarrytown and immediately alerted nearby train crews, the MTA said in a statement. “There’s a little kid north of you guys … just keep an eye out, he just popped out of a wall,” someone can be heard saying over the radio before asking a northbound train to come to a complete stop. That train, helmed by Locomotive Engineer Shawn Loughran and a trainee, is seen proceeding north slowly, looking for the child unti...
