http://youtu.be/Gq_IQZFsFtE As disgraced outgoing Gov. Andrew Cuomo packed his bags and sent his belongings to his sister’s house in his last days in office, he left something very important behind — his dog. Instead, Cuomo asked staff at his Albany mansion if they want to take care of his dog, Captain, the Albany Times Union reported, citing two state police sources. #AndrewCuomo #Dog #Albany 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/ImmGRBkYsik Vice President Kamala Harris is under fire after footage shows her laughing when asked about the deadly chaos in Afghanistan. The VP — heavily criticized for her delay in addressing the disaster that started after the US pulled out despite the Taliban’s resurgence — was already grinning widely when she approached reporters Friday. A reporter attempted to ask about her “response on Americans” — but the VP cut her off before she could finish. “Hold on, hold on — slow down, everybody!” Harris said, before letting out her now-notorious laugh, shaking her shoulders as she chuckled. The VP finally controlled herself to insist that the Biden administration “couldn’t have a higher priority right now” than Afghanistan. #KamalaHarris #Afghanistan #NewYorkPost The N...

http://youtu.be/qrQxvvNqz3E A defiant President Biden on Sunday stood by his decision to pull troops out of Afghanistan — though acknowledged during a bumbling press briefing that terror groups like ISIS could now be poised to strike. “Let me be clear, the evacuation of thousands of people from Kabul is going to be hard and painful no matter when it started, when we began,” said Biden, who stumbled over his words at several points while speaking from the White House. #Biden #Afghanistan #NewYorkPost 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/70GSkPSJNq4 A shocking video making the rounds on social media claims to show a panicked crowd rush into the terminal at Kabul airport after Afghanistan fell to the Taliban — but the footage was shot in Texas. The footage posted by several Twitter users, including by @Conflict_Zones, is actually a clip of anxious fans rushing into AT&T Stadium in Arlington for a 2019 game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Seattle Seahawks, Newsweek said in a report Thursday. The clip was originally posted on Jan. 5, 2019, by Jon Machota, a reporter for The Athletic who was covering the game for the outlet. #Kabul #Afghanistan #NewYorkPost 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/3Fq35e60okM Harrowing footage from Kabul’s international airport shows desperate Afghans attempting to flee their country by any means necessary — even handing children to US soldiers on the other side of the airport wall in the hope of getting them on evacuation flights. The nonprofit organization Rise to Peace posted a series of video clips of the chaos Tuesday. The footage shows a mass of humanity outside Hamid Karzai International Airport, some of them waving passports and other identification documents. The initial clip shows a man being helped over barbed wire by a pair of American soldiers. A series of pops can be heard in a second clip, which Rise to Peace claimed was exploding tear gas canisters utilized in an effort to keep the crowd back. In a third, longer c...

http://youtu.be/ajB-G9Sgg7w A disturbed man parked what he claimed was a truck bomb on Capitol Hill and made livestreamed threats to President Biden — ranting that “the South’s coming” and that the deaths of Afghan people “are on your hands” — before surrendering after a five-hour standoff Thursday. Floyd Ray Roseberry of Grover, NC, got out of his pickup truck and gave himself up shortly after cops used a robot to deliver a telephone that he refused to pick up, Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger said during a brief news conference around 2:30 p.m. #CapitolHill #Biden #NewYorkPost 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/Y7xHkY2BuOk CNN correspondent Clarissa Ward says she was screamed at by Taliban fighters to cover her face and her producer was nearly pistol-whipped as the violence and chaos on the ground in Kabul escalates. During a live cross near Kabul airport on Wednesday, Ward gave a harrowing account of the “mayhem” that’s occurring as thousands of Afghans — many who helped the US fight the war — plead with troops to evacuate them. #ClarissaWard #Taliban #Kabul 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/4EgSP0hg_BE For the second time in three days, President Biden delivered a major address from the East Room of the White House — but took no questions from the press corps about the unfolding debacle in Afghanistan. Biden announced a series of measures Wednesday related to COVID-19 — including threatening to have the Education Department sue GOP governors who have barred school districts from imposing mask mandates — but made no mention of the country where up to 15,000 Americans and thousands more allies are believed to be stranded in territory now held by the Taliban. #Biden #Afghanistan #COVID 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/YjJgyJkCfno COVID-19 vaccine booster shots are expected to be available for American adults starting late September – with health care workers, nursing home residents and other elderly people first in line, health officials said. The plan laid out Wednesday by the Biden administration calls for a third dose of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccine eight months after the second jab pending an independent evaluation by the Food and Drug Administration. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention wants to roll out the booster shot program the week of Sept. 20, said Director Rochelle Walensky — while citing new data showing a decrease in vaccine effectiveness over time against mild and moderate infections. #COVID19 #Vaccines #COVIDBooster The New York Post is your source for b...

http://youtu.be/k5niWgB4ywY Days after giving two weeks’ notice that he would resign his office amid a serial sexual harassment scandal, Gov. Andrew Cuomo is using the unprecedented lame-duck period to grant clemency and pardons to 10 felons — including three convicts tied to killings. Cuomo, a three-term Democrat forced to resign to avoid impeachment, said, “One of the foundational promises of New York state is that of equal justice, and equal compassion, for all under the law.” #Cuomo #Pardons #NewYorkPost 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/JgTZS_cISQ0 An 80-year-old Texas man died when a double-decker party boat capsized in a lake during a thunderstorm, authorities said. Karl Katzenberger, of Montgomery, died at a hospital Saturday after a party boat carrying 53 passengers flipped on Lake Conroe amid a strong thunderstorm and high winds, the Houston Chronicle reported. The inclement weather led to rough, choppy conditions on the lake north of Houston and waves up to five feet high, Capt. Joe Sclider of the Montgomery County Constable’s Office told the newspaper. The vessel, the Lake Conroe Queen, capsized about 40 minutes into its planned 90-minute excursion, KPRC reported. Video obtained by the station showed the boat on its side in the water.

Our most popular president has vanished. Prove me wrong.” He added: “Joe Biden opposed the raid to kill bin Laden.

http://youtu.be/3jrjeuPXHDs Gunfire could be heard at Kabul International Airport on Monday morning as Afghan citizens flooded the tarmac, some clinging to the jet bridge of a plane, as they desperately tried to flee the country. The chaos followed a disastrous day for Afghanistan and the first day of Taliban rule in the country. The messy withdrawal of US troops, after 20 years of relentless conflict, caused the government to collapse within days, sending President Ashraf Ghani into hiding. The State Department said early Monday that all staffers from the US embassy in Kabul were safe and being flown out of the country. #NewYorkPost #KabulAirport #Taliban #Afghan The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real es...

http://youtu.be/_RELG7jTxbE Former New York Gov. David Paterson has admitted he finds it “suspicious” that his successor, Andrew Cuomo, needs 14 days to leave office after finally resigning in disgrace. Paterson, 67, told WNYC on Thursday that it was clear Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul was “ready to take over right now” because “she has been aware that this situation could occur since March” — since the investigation began into sex-harassment accusations against Cuomo. #DavidPaterson #AndrewCuomo #KathyHochul 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/By0Y9Aorv6I New York Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul, who in 12 days is slated to take over for Gov. Andrew Cuomo, said Thursday she believes face masks should be required when kids return to school — but promised to take a more “collaborative” approach on COVID-19 precautions. “Well, this is an opinion right now, because Gov. Cuomo is still in office, and the state only has one governor at the time, but when I become governor, this will be a key issue,” Hochul said on NBC’s “Today” Thursday morning. “And my view is that people will be women, children, and everyone in a school environment will be masked,” she added. However, the incoming governor insisted that she will leave coronavirus prevention measures in schools up to the school districts — as her predecessor decided. “That...

http://youtu.be/2GAJq_4bS_8 Mayor Bill de Blasio tore into his political nemesis, warning Thursday that outgoing Gov. Andrew Cuomo could do more damage before leaving office in disgrace — and urged New Yorkers to remain vigilant until then. “I think people should keep a very close eye on him after everything he’s done and I don’t know why it needs to be 12 days, honestly,” de Blasio said. “I think we’re all ready to move on and I think the quicker we can move on, the better, at this point,” he said. During his first news conference since Cuomo’s stunning resignation Tuesday, de Blasio blamed the disgraced Democrat’s downfall on an insatiable thirst for power, calling it a “cautionary tale for everyone” that’s “almost Shakespearean.” “In the end, history will judge him harshly because ...

http://youtu.be/3i7gh6yJt6E Megyn Kelly has ripped exiting New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and “his loser brother,” Chris, for abusing their “privilege” handed to them by their late “daddy.“ Kelly told Newsmax that New Yorkers “loved the Cuomos” thanks to the “very popular” patriarch, three-term Gov. Mario Cuomo, who died on New Year’s Day 2015. It meant his accused sex-harasser son Andrew, 63, was “born in such a family of privilege — he and his loser brother on CNN,” Kelly said of 51-year-old “Cuomo Prime Time” host Chris. “These guys never would have achieved the positions they have had it not been for their daddy and his name,” she insisted. “So they get to these positions, and what do they do — they abuse them,” she said. #MeghanKelly #AndrewCuomo #ChrisCuomo #NewYorkPost The New Yo...

http://youtu.be/S-IdwQVjVa8 A 21-year-old man was bitten by a venomous snake while hiking after dark in New Jersey, according to a new report. Kevin Murray, of Pennington, was hiking in Hopewell Township Aug. 5 when the copperhead snake suddenly struck — but he didn’t realize what had happened until he fell down, he told WPVI-TV. “I just felt a sharp sting right on my ankle,” Murray told the station. Then a few feet away, he spotted his scaly attacker — which a herpetologist later identified as a copperhead. The large snakes, found throughout the southern and eastern US, are responsible for more venomous bites than any other in the country — partly because their population is so widespread, according to National Geographic. #Snake #NewJersey #NewYorkPost The New York Post is you...
