http://youtu.be/0lnuXcISR0Q US Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) appeared briefly at the chaotic scene in Lower Manhattan and spoke for only a few minutes before fleeing from booing counter-protesters. Greene was expected to deliver a speech in favor of former President Donald Trump ahead of his indictment in New York City, but her words were drowned out by counter-protesters. The anti-Trump group blew whistles and banged on drums, making her remarks inaudible to many at the rally.

http://youtu.be/3FVgfXx1BHc A YouTube prankster’s attempt to pull a fast one at a Virginia mall literally backfired after the intended target got mad and shot him in the stomach. “I was playing a prank, a simple practical joke, and this guy didn’t take it very well and shot me,” Tanner Cook, 21, told WUSA9 from his hospital bed in the intensive care unit. Cook runs the YouTube channel Classified Goons, which features him performing “Jackass”-style pranks on unsuspecting people. Some of these harebrained gags have included pretending to urinate in stores and asking strangers to play “naked Twister.” Authorities didn’t specify the nature of the youngster’s latest stunt, which he filmed with friends near a Cheesecake Factory at the Dulles Town Center in Dulles.

http://youtu.be/aDQ8W_z8fLA Former President Donald Trump surrendered at the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office Tuesday afternoon to face unprecedented criminal charges tied to the Stormy Daniels “hush money” payment. Trump, 76, defiantly raised his fist as he emerged from his Trump Tower residence in Midtown shortly after 1 p.m. before he was escorted downtown via a motorcade — en route to becoming the first ever US president to be criminally prosecuted. “Heading to Lower Manhattan, the Courthouse. Seems so SURREAL — WOW, they are going to ARREST ME. Can’t believe this is happening in America. MAGA!” he posted on Truth Social just moments before turning himself in. Flanked by Secret Service, the 45th president — wearing his signature dark suit and red tie — flashed a wave before str...

http://youtu.be/D1v6ezPJBh8 Adult film star Stormy Daniels said former President Donald Trump attempted to seduce her with “the world’s worst Burt Reynolds impression” — as she joked she might become commander-in-chief one day. The porn star at the center of Trump’s hush-money probe sat down with Vogue for a tell-all interview, which was published just hours ahead of Trump’s Tuesday arraignment in Manhattan. “I don’t know what happened. I’m standing there, in the doorway [of the bathroom], and all of a sudden he’s there in his underwear, doing the world’s worst Burt Reynolds impression,” Daniels, 44, told the fashion magazine of her 2006 dalliance with the 76-year-old Trump in his Nevada hotel suite. At the time, Daniels was one of the world’s most successful porn stars and was eager t...

http://youtu.be/VGaMoaLV6Ng Former President Donald Trump arrived Tuesday at a Manhattan courthouse ahead of his arraignment on criminal charges stemming from a hush money payment to a porn actor during his 2016 campaign. Trump pumped his fist as he exited Trump Tower minutes earlier, then traveled in an eight-car motorcade down a highway along the East River to the downtown courthouse, where's he expected to surrender to authorities. He’s expected to be fingerprinted and processed, and his mug shot may be taken — a remarkable reckoning after years of investigations and an extraordinary moment in U.S. history.

http://youtu.be/gZCUI4SQ418 Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg detailed the “fictitious legal services” that led to the 34-count indictment against Donald Trump in his first press conference after the former president was arraigned on charges of falsifying business records. Bragg alleged that Trump lied about his own six-figure payments to his lawyer Michael Cohen when he described the exchange as reimbursement for non-existent legal services from 2017. In truth, Bragg continued, the payout was Trump repaying Cohen for the latter’s alleged hush money payments to two women, including adult film star Stormy Daniels, who claimed to have had an extramarital affair with Trump.

http://youtu.be/DEbP3OkveIU Former President Donald Trump ranted against his unprecedented arrest and arraignment Tuesday night, telling supporters at Mar-a-Lago that the real “criminal” is Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. “The only crime that I’ve committed is to fearlessly defend our nation from those who seek to destroy it,” the 76-year-old said hours after pleading not guilty to 34 felony charges of falsifying business records in connection with hush-money payments made ahead of the 2016 presidential election to two women alleging extramarital affairs with him. “The criminal is the district attorney because he illegally leaked massive amounts of grand jury information, for which he should be prosecuted — or at a minimum, he should resign,” Trump added, referring details of h...

http://youtu.be/wKE3kNeEqJA NFL official Bill Leavy, best remembered for serving as the referee during the controversial Super Bowl XL, has died at 76. A cause of death was not given. “Saddened to hear of the loss of Bill Leavy,” former official and CBS analyst Gene Steratore said on Twitter. “Bill was an excellent referee and just a joy to be around. Life is just too short. He was a great mentor and friend. Rest in Peace Bill.” Leavy worked in the NFL from 1995 to 2014, where he officiated in two Super Bowl games including the matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Seattle Seahawks at Super Bowl XL in 2006. The crew was criticized for several calls against Seattle, including a holding penalty negating a completion that would have put the ball at the Steelers’ one-yard line. Rea...

http://youtu.be/LMFPCF75w8s A train hauling ethanol and corn syrup derailed and caught fire in Minnesota early Thursday and nearby residents were ordered to evacuate their homes, authorities said. The BNSF train derailed in the town of Raymond, roughly 100 miles (161 kilometers) west of Minneapolis, about 1 a.m., according to a statement from Kandiyohi County Sheriff Eric Tollefson. The Associated Press left messages seeking comment from BNSF officials and with Tollefson. The train “had numerous rail cars derail” and several caught fire, Tollefson said.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg told CNN that about 14 cars were...

http://youtu.be/I4cj1wHzMQA Twitter has removed thousands of tweets about a “Trans Day of Vengeance” protest set for Saturday outside the US Supreme Court, drawing outrage from conservatives who have also been sharing the event poster to condemn the demonstration. Ella Irwin, Twitter’s head of trust and aafety, said in a tweet Wednesday that the company automatically removed upwards of 5,000 tweets and retweets of a poster promoting the event. “We do not support tweets that incite violence irrespective of who posts them. ‘Vengeance’ does not imply peaceful protest. Organizing or support for peaceful protests is ok,” Irwin wrote. The crackdown came just days after Audrey Hale, who police said identified as transgender, carried out a mass shooting at Covenant School in Nashville, killing...

http://youtu.be/QO1xTejN2d8 A man was lifted several floors high into the air while flying a giant kite in northern China. The video was filmed in the city of Tangshan in Hebei Province on March 26. According to the filmer named Tao, the man who was flying in the sky was his friend. Tao said: "He didn't make a mistake while flying the kite, he did it intentionally."

Of course, only professionals dare to play like this," Tao said. According to reports, it is common for kite players to control their bodies and fly into the air with their kites.

http://youtu.be/6AWcjqmFPP0 A bearded pro powerlifter entered a women’s competition in Canada — and smashed a record held by a trans lifter who was watching on. Avi Silverberg — the head coach for Team Canada Powerlifting for more than 10 years — entered Saturday’s Heroes Classic tournament in Lethbridge, Alberta, after identifying as a female. Video shared by athlete activist group the Independent Council on Women’s Sports (ICONS) shows him walking up to the platform still fully bearded and wearing a regular men’s singlet. He then casually bench-pressed 370 pounds — beating the current Alberta women’s record by nearly 100 pounds. The current record — 275 pounds — is held by trans athlete Anne Andres, who was seen watching Silverberg while volunteering at the event. Read more at http...

http://youtu.be/FPWi263wpXc A group of 33 swimmers are being investigated after they were allegedly caught “aggressively pursuing, corralling, and harassing” a pod of dolphins in Hawaii Sunday, according to the Department of Land and Natural Resources. Drone footage showed a group of snorkelers harassing the dolphins by going after them in any direction the helpless mammals tried to swim in the waters off Hōnaunau Bay near Hawaii’s Big Island. Officers from the Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement (DO-CARE) were on a routine check in the South Kona District when they came across the group of swimmers. The swimmers were told by DO-CARE about the violation and were immediately investigated by “uniformed officers” once they got out of the water, Land and Natural Resources sa...

http://youtu.be/LuHfcoc8x-U One of the six victims killed by Nashville shooter Audrey Hale was the daughter of a pastor who was “providing counseling for her,” according to a recent report. “Something didn’t sit right with her,” Jim Bachmann — the former pastor at The Covenant School which Hale stormed on Monday, killing six — told Inside Edition. Bachmann described how Covenant Pastor Chad Scruggs, whose 9-year-old daughter, Hallie, was among those killed, had been Hale’s private counselor. Transgender Hale arrived at The Covenant School around 9:54 a.m., blasted her way in through locked glass doors, and carried out a 14-minute killing spree that left three school children and three school staffers dead before she was shot by police. Bachmann told Inside Edition Hale appeared to be ...

http://youtu.be/r53SJNRqsZc Russia’s FSB security service said on Thursday it had detained a reporter for The Wall Street Journal on suspicion of spying for Washington, the most serious public move against a foreign journalist since Russia invaded Ukraine. The FSB said in a statement that it had opened a criminal case for suspected espionage against U.S. national Evan Gershkovich, accusing him of gathering information classified as a state secret about a military factory. It did not name the factory or say where it was, but said it had detained him in the Urals city of Yekaterinburg as he was trying to procure secret information. It provided no evidence.

http://youtu.be/qjnmxJulTbI A panicked call to police from the friend of Nashville school shooter Audrey Hale after she received ominous messages moments before her killing spree began has been released. Averianna Patton called the Metro Nashville Police Department after she received the series of messages from her former basketball teammate, including one that stated: “I’m planning to die today … You’ll probably hear about me on the news.” In the audio, which was released by FOX 17 Nashville, Patton can be heard describing how she “received a very, very weird message from a friend on Instagram.” “I think it’s like a suicidal thing,” Patton is heard saying. “I called the suicide hotline, and they told me to call the sheriff’s department, the sheriff’s department told me to call you gu...

http://youtu.be/m5spvF65iLI Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) angrily stormed away from “Libs of TikTok” creator Chaya Raichik after denouncing her as “super transphobic” in a tense Capitol Hill confrontation that was captured by amateur video last week. Raichik on Thursday posted a video that was filmed by the right-leaning Heritage Foundation. The “Libs of TikTok” creator confronted Ocasio-Cortez after the two bumped into each other in the congressional building. “You’re actually super transphobic and I never want to share a space with you,” the New York congresswoman angrily told Raichik in the clip before walking away. “Thank you,” Ocasio-Cortez says in the clip as she gestures to a nearby cell phone camera which captured the dramatic exchange.

http://youtu.be/7J9mYMSPxnc House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Thursday he would bring “soft food” for President Biden to eat during debt ceiling negotiations in a dig at the oldest-ever president’s age. “We have asked to sit down with the president for months. He is making the decision that he wants to put the economy in jeopardy,” McCarthy (R-Calif.) said during a Capitol press conference. “I don’t know what more I can do,” he added. “I would bring the lunch to the White House. I would make it soft food if that’s what he wants. It doesn’t matter.” Biden and McCarthy met at the White House on Feb. 1, but the president on Tuesday shot down the GOP speaker’s request for another talk, writing that “seeing your full set of proposals would be useful before we meet.” White House press secre...

http://youtu.be/HT8nTTd2-H0 The Manhattan grand jury hearing evidence in the Stormy Daniels “hush money” investigation on Thursday voted to indict the former president, two sources with knowledge of the case told The Post. The sealed indictment was filed with the clerk’s office Thursday evening — setting the stage for the first-ever criminal prosecution of a former US president, the sources said. The specific charges were not made public. Trump, 76, is expected to surrender to law enforcement next week, his attorneys told The Post. The ex-commander-in-chief was caught off guard by the sudden decision — after it was reported Wednesday that the grand jury planned to recess at least through the Passover and Easter holidays. “Is this a shock today? Hell yes,” a source who spoke directly w...

http://youtu.be/KVerIB475pY Massachusetts father Brian Walshe was indicted for the murder of his missing wife Ana, prosecutors announced Thursday. A Norfolk County grand jury indicted Walshe for first-degree murder, obstruction of justice, and other charges, the Norfolk District Attorney’s Office said, according to reports. He could face life in prison if convicted. He pleaded not guilty in Quincy District Court when he was charged with murder during a January arraignment, but the indictment now moves the case to Norfolk Superior Court where he will be arraigned in the coming weeks, the district attorney’s office said according to the Boston Herald. Walshe, 48, is accused of killing his 39-year-old wife, who vanished from her Cohasset home on Jan. 1 where she lived with her husband an...

http://youtu.be/dVNLp5yYJS0 Former President Donald Trump will not be put in handcuffs when he turns himself in next week, his attorney confirmed to The Post on Friday. Lawyer Joe Tacopina confirmed the news in a text while also giving a round of interviews promising that is now “ready to fight” — with “zero” chances he’ll buckle and seek a plea deal. “The president will not be put in handcuffs,” the attorney also told ABC News’ “Good Morning America” — while not ruling out a perp walk or a mugshot. “I’m sure they’ll try to get every ounce of publicity he can from this thing,” he said of Manhattan prosecutors led by District Attorney Alvin Bragg behind the historic charges. “As far as mugshots, perp-walk — I’m sure they’ll try to make sure they get some joy out of this by parading him...

http://youtu.be/UQgT8TXsc30 Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis warned The Walt Disney Company on Thursday that he has unfinished business with the Mouse House. The Republican governor reacted to news that Disney’s autonomous board effectively stripped itself of power just a day before state lawmakers gave DeSantis the authority to take over the body. A secret deal forged between the now-defunct Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Walt Disney Company is now being scrutinized by the DeSantis administration, which is examining whether it is legal. “There’s a lot of little back and forth going on now with the state control,” DeSantis said during a book stop tour in Smyrna, Ga., on Thursday, where audience members booed at the mention of the Mouse House. “But rest assured — you ain’t seen noth...
