http://youtu.be/Tb4Sy8PsfeA The mother of a Colorado middle schooler who was reportedly kicked out of class for displaying several patches on his backpack, including one of a Gadsden flag, claims that his First Amendment rights were violated. The 12-year-old Vanguard School student, Jaiden Rodriguez, was ordered to remove the flag — which features a coiled rattlesnake and the phrase “Don’t tread on me” – before he was allowed back inside. “I do want him to stand up for his rights, too, and I don’t want to say, ‘No, you bow down to the government,'”Jaiden’s mom Eden Rodriguez told News5. “It’s been a tough call to just let him do what he wants and say he’s at that age to make his own decisions.” By making him miss three days of school over his patches, the charter school violated the s...

http://youtu.be/lp3_KYjdXoc Hurricane Idalia made landfall early Wednesday in Florida as a deadly Category 3 hurricane, promising to unleash “life-threatening” storm surges and damaging winds in the strongest storm to hit the area in more than 125 years. Idalia had briefly been categorized as a Category 4 storm before winds tapered off to 125 mph as it made landfall at 7:45 a.m. near Keaton Beach in Taylor County. “This change in wind speed does not diminish the threat of catastrophic storm surge and damaging winds,” the National Hurrican Center had cautioned, with two Florida men soon confirmed as having been killed in storm-related incidents. It was the strongest hurricane to hit the Big Bend area since an unnamed storm in 1896, according to the Fox Forecast Center, with several citi...

http://youtu.be/CKul1X6NJQ8 Oberlin College women’s lacrosse head coach Kim Russell broke her silence about transgender inclusion in women’s sports in a documentary for the Independent Women’s Forum on Tuesday. Russell, who became the head coach of the Yeowomen before the start of the 2019 season, talked about how administrators and her players ridiculed her after she posted on her personal social media account a message about Lia Thomas winning an NCAA Championship in the 500 in 2022. In the video, Russell reposted a headline sarcastically congratulating then-Virginia swim star Emma Weyant for the victory over Thomas, a transgender female. Russell wrote in the post, “What do you believe? I can’t be quiet on this… I’ve spent my life playing sports, starting & coaching sports progra...

http://youtu.be/tlm1WxiV-ME Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell froze up in front of reporters for the second time in as many months Wednesday, this time during an event in his home state of Kentucky. McConnell, 81, was in the middle of a back-and-forth about the prospect of running for another six-year term in 2026 when he became stone-faced in a manner eerily reminiscent of his July 27 episode on Capitol Hill. “What are my thoughts about what?” McConnell asked. “Running for re-election in 2026,” a reporter answered. “Oh,” McConnell exclaimed before his eyes darted upward and he stared blankly into space. “Did you hear the question, Senator? Running for re-election in 2026?” a woman standing next to McConnell said. After about 30 seconds, McConnell appeared to snap back to reali...

http://youtu.be/j8wBFjuPm4A Grieving parents found the body of their 14-year-old adopted son hugging his dead dog after the Maui wildfires — then carried him around half a mile to a police station to be confirmed among the dead. Schoolboy Keyiro Fuentes had been home alone enjoying his last day of summer break when the deadliest US wildfires in a century started overwhelming his neighborhood in Lahaina, his mother, Luz Vargas, told CBS News. The mom was working five miles away at the time — and unable to get home when she saw the smoke, despite begging cops to let her through their barriers. When she and the rest of her family managed to search their home two days later, they found Keyiro’s charred body wrapped around his dead dog, the sobbing mom told CBS. “He was not as I expected, ...

http://youtu.be/YOeYgCpMM7Y Gov. Kathy Hochul finally sent a formal request to President Biden — demanding the White House take executive action to help New York tackle the broader-migrant crisis that is a federal responsibility. “This is a financial burden the City and State are shouldering on behalf of the federal government,” she said in a letter sent to the president. The letter, which was announced at a press conference Thursday afternoon in Albany, calls on the feds to expedite work authorizations and provide New York with significant financial assistance. “Without any capacity or responsibility to address the cause of the migrant influx, New Yorkers cannot then shoulder these costs,” wrote Hochul to Biden. “I cannot ask New Yorkers to pay for what is fundamentally a federal re...

http://youtu.be/3ZWays2cVvU Yevgeny Prigozhin, the Russian dissident Vladimir Putin labeled a “traitor,” is believed to have been killed when a private jet crashed outside Moscow Wednesday evening – less than two months after he led a mutiny against the Kremlin’s military top brass. Prigozhin, the leader of the controversial Wagner paramilitary group, was on the passenger list of the Embraer aircraft that crashed near the village of Kuzhenkino, 60 miles north of Moscow, the TASS news agency said Wednesday, citing the Federal Agency for Air Transport. “An investigation of the Embraer plane crash that happened in the Tver Region this evening was initiated. According to the passenger list, first and last name of Yevgeny Prigozhin was included in this list,” the agency stated. Although it...

http://youtu.be/laBuyU67GIU The husband of a Brooklyn woman bludgeoned to death by a hammer-wielding attacker apologized to his slain wife and pleaded for their two injured kids to pull through — as sources on Thursday revealed there had been simmering tensions between the mom and her accused killer leading up to the horrific crime. Zhao Zhao, 43, was killed and her two children — a 5-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter — were left fighting for their lives after they were attacked inside their Sunset Park apartment Wednesday afternoon, cops said. “My dear wife, I owe you an apology,” Zhao’s widower wrote in a post on the Chinese social media platform WeChat.

http://youtu.be/KNN6nlzvRTw Eight Republican presidential candidates traded barbs on Wednesday (August 23) at their first debate of the 2024 election as they jockeyed for position behind the absent front-runner, Donald Trump, who derided the event in a pre-taped interview aimed at siphoning away viewers. The raucous two-hour debate offered a view of the deep challenges the contenders face in seeking to dislodge Trump from his perch at the top of the field. While the former president took the extraordinary step of skipping the debate entirely, his rivals were left taking shots at one another to try to emerge as the most viable alternative, five months before the first Republican presidential nominating contest in Iowa and more than 14 months before the election. " I know how to fight. A...

http://youtu.be/Dk4hPWECHgk Former President Donald Trump made the wrong kind of history Thursday, becoming the first current or former US president to get his mug shot taken while being booked at an Atlanta jail over his attempts to reverse the 2020 election results in Georgia. Trump, 77, turned himself in to authorities at the Fulton County Jail following his grand jury indictment on Aug. 14 on charges including racketeering, conspiracy, false statements and asking a public official to violate their oath of office. He was released on a $200,000 bond and agreed to an order limiting his ability to post on social media about witnesses or co-defendants in the case. Getting his mugshot taken was “not a comfortable feeling — especially when you’ve done nothing wrong,” the former commander ...

http://youtu.be/VoaP8D4LwWU A British man attacked a traffic warden with a wooden pole after he caught the city worker taking pictures of his van in East London. A disgruntled driver, 41, who was not identified, was arrested after attacking a traffic warden, 38, in Manor Park on Friday. Video shot by a driver on the street showed the duo shouting angrily in the middle of the road before the man grabs a long wooden pole and shoves the warden. When the warden moves to return the assault, the driver, wearing a yellow vest, swings and hits the man several times until the pole breaks in half. The two get into a tussle as the warden takes several shots at the van driver. The pair fought for several minutes, throwing punches and kicks.

http://youtu.be/3Q18qLJYBn0 A Florida chemistry student was caught on a neighbor’s hidden camera allegedly injecting an opioid “chemical agent” underneath their front door, causing the family and their newborn baby to fall ill, according to police. Umar Abdullah and his pregnant wife moved into their new condo in Tampa in June 2022 and were warmly welcomed by other residents in the building. Shortly after, however, Abdullah began receiving texts from his disgruntled downstairs neighbor, Xuming Li, a seemingly “regular guy” who complained about losing sleep and hearing the toilet seat move, he told WFLA. After months of quarreling, Abdullah said, he, his wife and their daughter started feeling dizzy and vomiting. “I look at my daughter,” Abdullah told the outlet. “Her eyes were full of...
