http://youtu.be/K1ATUM7MHhk Hunter Biden’s business contacts touted his access to his father, “State, Treasury,” his relationship with then-Secretary of State John Kerry’s stepson, as well as his ties to the “highest level” in China, as they weighed whether to work with him on a potential Libya deal in 2015, newly uncovered emails show. The two emails — published by Insider on Thursday — date back to 2015, when Joe Biden was vice president, and reference getting Hunter’s help on a deal regarding billions in Libyan assets frozen by the Obama administration. The emails are unrelated to Hunter’s infamous laptop. #HunterBiden #WhiteHouse #China The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, fashion,...

http://youtu.be/I9j4FKex1nk Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday called for countries to embrace COVID-19 “transparency” and “accountability” – without directly calling out China’s refusal to come clean about the origins of the pandemic. Harris made the remark while announcing that the Biden administration would give $250 million to a new World Bank pandemic preparedness fund and request another $850 million from Congress. “To avoid the mistakes of the past and meet this present moment, we must also ensure transparency and accountability to ensure that all countries meet our global health obligations,” Harris told a United Nations-organized web conference. “To that end, the United States also supports a global health threats council that would monitor progress and identify gaps.

http://youtu.be/dFAne8DIbrU Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Wednesday blamed long work hours for his inability — for a second day — to provide basic information to Congress on how many migrants detained at the border have been released or returned to their home countries. During a virtual hearing with the Homeland Security Committee focused on “Worldwide Threats to the Homeland: 20 Years After 9/11,” Mayorkas had a tense exchange with Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-Fla.), who pressed him on the matter. Gimenez first asked Mayorkas to clarify how many immigrants have been apprehended at the border so far this year, which the secretary said was around 1.5 million. “Let me ask you, [of the] 1.5 million that we’ve apprehended, how many people have been returned?” ...

http://youtu.be/8ZcljjGfLk8 A new variant of the COVID-19 virus has been identified at a Kentucky nursing home, where it infected 45 residents and workers, many of whom were vaccinated. The R.1 variant originated in Japan, and contains dangerous mutations that can improve “transmission, replication, and immune suppression,” a scientist wrote in Forbes Monday. There are already more than 10,000 entries of the R.1 variant in a database used by researchers to track genomic material, infectious disease expert Dr. William Haseltine said. The variant shares the highly infectious D614G mutation that is present in other variants fueling new surges of the coronavirus, according to the doctor. #COVID-19 #CovidVariant #KentuckyNursingHome The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news...

http://youtu.be/RjG3CyxyE-s Gabby Petito’s missing boyfriend, Brian Laundrie, apparently shared cryptic and forbidding images and messages on Pinterest — including one last month that read, “Don’t try to find me. I have finally escaped my ‘master’s’ wicked clutches,” according to a report. The 23-year-old, who has been named a person of interest in the Long Island native’s homicide, appeared to post under the account @blaundrie1197, although it has not been confirmed, according to the Sun. But the news outlet noted that the account shares albums with a page belonging to Laundrie’s slain girlfriend and apparently also his mother, Roberta. Social-media sleuths who have opined about their theories and shared their online discoveries about the mystery have focused their attention on Pinter...

http://youtu.be/quOysGS2j44 Gabby Petito and boyfriend Brian Laundrie fought over a phone and argued “aggressively” in front of onlookers outside a Utah store last month, a newly surfaced witness statement said. “Something seemed off,” a witness identified as Chris said of the much-publicized Aug. 12 tussle between Petito and Laundrie in Moab that led to a 911 call and police intervention in the midst of their doomed tour of national parks out west. At one point Petito is quoted as asking Laundrie, “Why do you have to be so mean?” Chris notes in his statement that Petito, 22, appeared to be hitting Laundrie, 23, during a fight over a cellphone. The witness offers a different perspective than the person who called the fight in to 911, and said he saw Laundrie apparently hit the Long Is...

http://youtu.be/LhID8DT9hXc Donald Trump filed a lawsuit Tuesday against his niece Mary Trump and the New York Times stemming from explosive news articles about the former president’s taxes and finances. Trump is seeking no less than $100 million in damages, accusing Mary of breaking a non-disclosure agreement by leaking his personal tax documents to the Times. “The defendants engaged in an insidious plot to obtain confidential and highly-sensitive records which they exploited for their own benefit and utilized as a means of falsely legitimizing their publicized works,” Trump attorney Alina Habba alleges in the 27-page complaint, filed in Dutchess County, New York, Supreme Court. “The defendants’ actions were motivated by a personal vendetta and their desire to gain fame, notoriety, ac...

http://youtu.be/Q5uKmZ8c-qg Yelp users are flooding the business page of Brian Laundrie’s lawyer with negative reviews — calling him “disgusting” and “scum” for his role in the case of his client’s missing girlfriend, Gabby Petito, who is presumed dead. Steven Bertolino, an attorney with a Long Island, New York, firm, has been criticized on the page for not making his client available to talk to authorities after Petito was reported missing on Sept. 11. “Advising a person not to corporate with police who’re searching for a missing girl. You should be held responsible and chargeable as well. Amazes me how scum like you sleep at night,” one review said. #GabbyPetito #BrianLaundrie #StevenBertolino The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business,...

Joseph Petito revealed that he’d refer to Brian as “Brianne,” according an episode of “Dr. Phil” that aired Monday. “I’ve never actually liked any of Gabby’s boyfriends.

http://youtu.be/qVTmkT3BlW8 Sen. Josh Hawley grilled Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on the Biden administration’s efforts to stem the flow of illegal immigrants and whether it accepts responsibility for the humanitarian crisis created by the 15,000 Haitian migrants who massed near a border town in Texas. Hawley (R-Mo.) pointed out that for the second straight month, in July and August, US Customs and Border Protection officials encountered more than 200,000 illegal immigrants and he asked Mayorkas if the administration’s plan to curb the surge was working. #JoshHawley #AlejandroMayorkas #BorderCrisis The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, fashion, and more.

http://youtu.be/dp1aUSX9xR8 A Texas restaurant tossed out a couple who wore face coverings to protect their immunocompromised 4-month-old son — and its owner is defending the move, saying, “I don’t want masks in here.” Natalie Wester and her husband went to Hang Time Bar & Grill in Rowlett earlier this month with some friends to let loose, but the new parents decided to mask up out of an abundance of caution due to their at-risk child at home, who has cystic fibrosis, KTVT reported. “If you’ve ever been new parents, having those couple of hours out like once or twice a month is so important for your mental health,” Wester told the station Saturday. But hopes of a relaxing, stress-free outing were dashed when a waitress told the fully vaccinated couple they’d need to take off their ...

http://youtu.be/oxoKhdRcTd4 Pressed on the Biden administration’s decision not to require coronavirus vaccines or negative COVID-19 tests for people illegally crossing the southern border, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki insisted Monday the refugees are “not intending to stay here for a lengthy period of time.” In recent days, thousands of migrants from Haiti and other countries have flooded the southern border seeking permanent asylum in the US. Many reached a processing bottleneck in Del Rio, Texas, last week, leaving over 12,000 migrants to camp under a bridge, sparking coronavirus and security threat concerns among local and state leaders. #Psaki #COVID #Immigrants The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opi...

http://youtu.be/CjkRKiCisjM Former “America’s Most Wanted” host John Walsh said he was “terrified” when he first saw bodycam footage of Gabby Petito’s fight with Brian Laundrie — calling it “classic domestic abuse.” The famed citizen crimefighter told CNN on Monday night that he was horrified watching the footage even before “chilling” new details indicated a 911 caller saw Laundrie “slapping” his girlfriend, whose remains are believed to have been found in Wyoming on Sunday. #GabbyPetito #BrianLaundrie #JohnWalsh The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, fashion, and more.

http://youtu.be/Gq_kB3FpjzA The Dow dropped more than 800 points, adding to three straight weeks of losses, as fears over China’s debt-ridden property market helped spark a global selloff. The Dow Jones industrial average was recently off 814 points, or over 2.4 percent, in early afternoon trading Monday. The S&P 500 fell 2.1 percent — on pace for its worst day since mid-May — while the Nasdaq tumbled 2.6 percent. Embattled developer China Evergrande Group has warned investors of cash-flow problems and that it may default on its debt obligations, which analysts at UBS have pegged at about 6.5 percent of the total debt held by China’s property sector. A default of that size could spill over into other sectors and hit companies in other countries, analysts said. In particular, invest...

WABC reporter Kristin Thorne posted on Twitter a screen grab Cassie Laundrie shared during her interview with “Good Morning America.” “Ahh oh my gosh I can’t believe school started already!!! Haha I saw your post on Instagram! So cute!! Send me the picture of the boys to show Brian!! Lol and I love their backpacks too!!” Petito texted Cassie on Aug. 10, the screenshot shows. “We’re in arches right now so we don’t have be [sic] best WiFi, but we did send you some mail,” she added, apparently referring to the Arches National Park north of Moab in Utah...

Asked if there was any criminality, Garrison answered, “Not at this time.” “At this time, it’s a missing person case,” he said.

http://youtu.be/iKn9vfJRpnU A high-ranking US Army officer has resigned and given up his pension after almost 20 years of service because of what he called President Biden’s “unethical, immoral and tyrannical” vaccine mandate. Lt. Col. Paul Douglas Hague said in a resignation letter tweeted by his wife, Katie Phipps Hague, that he was resigning from his 19-year career primarily because of the Pentagon requirement that all US military members be jabbed by mid-September. #USArmy #VaccineMandate #Biden The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, fashion, and more.

http://youtu.be/P_OxNQ4KENI President Biden appeared to forget the name of Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Wednesday night while unveiling a key nuclear submarine pact — calling him “pal” and “that fella Down Under.” The 78-year-old commander-in-chief — notorious for his flubs — was flanked by Morrison and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson on giant screens as they unveiled the new AUKUS military alliance. “Thank you, Boris, and I want to thank, er … that fella Down Under,” Biden said after a pause while turning toward the screen with Morrison, who’d already spoken. “Thank you very much, pal. Appreciate it, Mr. Prime Minister,” he said, getting a thumbs up from Morrison, whom he called one of America’s “closest allies.” While Biden did eventually address “Prime Minister Morri...

http://youtu.be/d3h7aeo8jc8 The man allegedly hired by disgraced South Carolina legal scion Alex Murdaugh in a bizarre scheme to leave his son with $10 million in insurance cash is a suspected drug dealer. Curtis Edward Smith, 61, was charged Tuesday after confessing to the arranged shooting of Murdaugh, 53, whose wife was gunned down in June alongside another son, 22-year-old Paul. Smith was a former client of Murdaugh, a once-powerful lawyer who represented him in a speeding case in 2013 as well as a personal injury lawsuit the previous year, according to the Post and Courier. Along with a slew of charges including assisted suicide and insurance fraud, Smith on Tuesday was also charged with distribution of methamphetamine and possession of marijuana. #AlexMurdaugh #insurancescam #sc...

http://youtu.be/a8zgnxrIEuI ISIS bride Shamima Begum apologized for joining the terror group and appealed to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to allow her to return to the UK, saying in her first live TV interview she’d “rather die” than go back to the jihadists. “I know there are some people, no matter what I say or what I do, they will not believe that I have changed, believe that I want to help,” she told ITV’s “Good Morning Britain.” “But for those who have even a drop of mercy and compassion and empathy in their hearts, I tell you from the bottom of my heart that I regret every, every decision I’ve made since I stepped into Syria and I will live with it for the rest of my life,” she said. Begum was just 15 when she and two classmates set off for Syria to join ISIS. She has sai...

A firefighter is seen running out of the inferno clutching the girl as heavy flames swirl in the fully engulfed building. “They opened up one of the doors below where the fire was burning and they found two children and a mom, that were kind of startled that we were there,” said Capt. Chad Cox, KSN-TV reported. “And they probably didn’t realize that there was actually a fire burning in the apartments abo...

http://youtu.be/lf-rJ1s3TUs A Florida nurse has pleaded guilty to threatening to kill Kamala Harris, claiming she was going to carry out the sick plot because the vice president wasn’t “actually black,” authorities said. Niviane Petit Phelps, 39, of Miami-Dade County, pleaded guilty Friday, admitting she sent her imprisoned husband six 30-second video clips of herself in February, claiming she accepted $53,000 for the “hit” to be completed within 50 days, court documents show. “Kamala Harris, you are going to die,” Phelps said in one clip, according to a complaint obtained by USA Today. “Your days are numbered already.” Phelps, who is black, told investigators she made the threats because Harris, 56, who was born to a Jamaican father and an Indian mother, wasn’t “actually black” and he...
