http://youtu.be/GLe-FZoEqmQ A car ran a stop sign, crashing into an upstate New York school bus returning from a field trip — killing the vehicle’s driver and his dog, injuring a student and staffer and igniting clouds of smoke and flames, police said. William Fierstein, 73, failed to heed a stop sign on Webster Road in the town of Webster Wednesday afternoon, slamming his Sedan into a Wayne Central School District bus carrying 22 children, WROC reports. The collision sent both vehicles off the road as they burst into flames, according to Webster Police.

http://youtu.be/0iLKzDn7-1g The shameless influencer arrested and charged with six felonies for her part in this week’s Philadelphia riots is begging fans for cash to hire a lawyer… and pay to get her toes painted. Dayjia Blackwell – who goes by “Meatball” – took to Instagram live to not only give her side of the story, but to plug her Cash App handle for her fans to send her money as a “welcome home” gift. “All I want to do is go treat myself,” she told more than 10,000 fans on Thursday on Instagram, mentioning multiple times she wants to go get her “toes done,” as well as her legal woes. Blackwell, 21, spent “hours” in a holding cell after being arrested, said she was “traumatized” by the experience and wants to “cry” every time she thinks about it. “I’m traumatized, I would never g...

http://youtu.be/37YlKt1MXGs A murder suspect reportedly raped and duct-taped another woman before setting two people on fire a week before allegedly killing a tech CEO in her Baltimore apartment. NY Post reporter Alyssa Guzman shares this story. Jason Billingsley, 32, was accused of raping a woman in an Edmondson Avenue home after he posed as a maintenance worker a week before allegedly murdering Pava LaPere, the Baltimore Banner reported. He allegedly banged on the door of the home on Sept. 19. When no one answered, he kicked the door in and pointed a gun at the two people inside before handcuffing and duct-taping them, a source told The Banner.

http://youtu.be/QDKALRd2p74 Billionaire Elon Musk toured the southern border in Texas Thursday and warned “some pretty extreme” migrants are crossing into the US as he offered an “unfiltered” view of the ongoing crisis. Musk — the owner of X, formerly of Twitter — was accompanied by Texas Rep. Tony Gonzales during his visit to Eagle Pass, a city that declared a state of emergency last week over the unprecedented arrival of thousands of migrants. Wearing a cowboy hat and aviator sunglasses, Musk livestreamed his first hand observations and told Gonzales that while he is “extremely pro-immigrant,” he doesn’t believe people should be allowed to enter the US if they are “breaking the law.” “To be clear we’re both very much in favor of expanded legal immigration. I think anyone who is hardw...

http://youtu.be/hMhhTDHacPc A suicide bombing in Pakistan killed at least 52 people and injured more than 50 on Friday at a religious gathering to mark the birthday of Prophet Mohammed in a restive province bordering Afghanistan, health officials and police said. No group has claimed responsibility for the blast which comes amid a surge in attacks by militant groups in western Pakistan, raising the stakes for security forces ahead of national elections scheduled for January next year. “The bomber detonated himself near the vehicle of the Deputy Superintendent of Police,” Deputy Inspector General of Police Munir Ahmed told Reuters. The blast ripped through near a mosque in Balochistan province where people were gathered for a procession to mark Mohammed’s birthday, which is a public hol...

http://youtu.be/KEnXjZAJdd8 Bob Menendez’s wife partied with Mob Wives and Real Housewives, then two-timed her attorney boyfriend to become the senator’s lover, The Post can reveal. And during their tumultuous courtship, the New Jersey Democrat sent Capitol Police officers to his love rival’s office to “bully him out of the picture,” a friend of the attorney — who represented R. Kelly during his sex-trafficking trial — told The Post. Nadine Arslanian Menendez is facing up to 45 years in prison, accused of conspiring with her husband to commit fraud, bribery and extortion by selling the power of his office to the Egyptian government and three businessmen in exchange for a convertible Mercedes, gold bars and cash he stashed in his jackets. She and Menendez pleaded not guilty in federal ...

http://youtu.be/WqBgBkrddJo Wild scenes of flooding unfolded throughout New York City Friday morning as an intense rainstorm barreled through the tri-state area, turning local roads into rivers during the morning rush hour. Videos showed cars plowing through knee-deep water in Brooklyn’s Sunset Park neighborhood, with a whirlpool seen swirling in the middle of the waterlogged road. Cellphone footage taken aboard an MTA bus at 18th Avenue and 60th Street in Brooklyn’s Bensonhurst neighborhood showed floodwaters gushing into the vehicle filled with passengers, among them children, who tried to stay dry by lifting their feet off the floor. The Big Apple’s major roads fared no better, as the Brooklyn- Queens Expressway, the Belt Parkway and Prospect Park Expressway all turning into rivers ...

http://youtu.be/CDVtCrCErwA Russian President Vladimir Putin was shown on state television on Friday (September 29) meeting Andrei Troshev, one of the most senior former commanders of the Wagner mercenary group - seen here on the right. They discussed how best to use "volunteer units" in the Ukraine war. The Kremlin said the meeting took place late on Thursday. Deputy Defense Minister Yunus-Bek Yevkurov was also present. The meeting underscored the Kremlin's attempt to show that the state had now gained control over the mercenary group after a failed June mutiny by its boss Yevgeny Prigozhin. He was killed with other senior commanders in a plane crash in August. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told the RIA news agency that Troshev now worked at the defense ministry. The fate of ...

http://youtu.be/rRUIwrL39RY The City of Brotherly Love faced a second consecutive night of widespread looting, with footage showing hooded women grabbing supplies from a beauty store and the glass windows of a liquor store shattered after the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board closed all of its locations in Philadelphia. NY Post Reporter Melissa Koenig shares this story. Store security footage obtained by CBS News showed a group of women busting through the glass front door of Nat’s Beauty Supply in Mayfair early Thursday.

http://youtu.be/WfZIuRc3cGA President Biden offered to meet Thursday with a heckler who interrupted his speech in Arizona if the agitator would “shush up” and let him finish his remarks. Biden, 80, was speaking in Tempe to honor his late Senate colleague John McCain and call on voters to reject Donald Trump’s “extremist” Make America Great Again movement. The president was interrupted about 10 minutes into his remarks by a protester. “Why have you yet to declare a climate emergency?,” the man repeatedly shouted from the audience, footage of the event showed. “Arizonians have died,” the unidentified man continued, as the crowd began booing him.

http://youtu.be/SFAQLEYycks US Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the trailblazing California Democrat who broke gender barriers throughout her five decades in politics, died Thursday night at her Washington, DC home following a number of health scares. She was 90. NY Post Political Reporter Jon Levine shares this story. The death of the senator on Thursday night has left California Gov. Gavin Newsom with the job of appointing a replacement to serve the remaining 15 months of her term — a choice he hoped never to have to make. Newsom initially promised in 2021 to pick a black woman to replace Feinstein if she was unable to remain in the Senate through January 2025. That was in response to the outcry from some quarters after he appointed then-California Secretary of State Alex Padilla to replace Se...

http://youtu.be/alyyC-Q-XF8 Mayor Eric Adams was blasted for a slow response to Friday’s massive flooding — after he failed to issue more than the most meager warning the day before and even showed up late for an emergency management hearing with other officials. While other leaders from organizations such as the MTA held major briefings, Adams’ only warning to New Yorkers Thursday was some retweeted weather announcements — he then went off to a party that night, leaving classes to go on as normal at schools, some of which wound up flooded. He finally issued a state of emergency some two hours after Gov. Kathy Hochul did so for the state — and as rain started to taper off. Even fellow Democrats were left steaming. “I am dumbfounded by the lack of communication from City Hall to prepar...

http://youtu.be/Z-k6dyDPzno Disgraced former ABC News reporter James Gordon Meek was sentenced Friday to six years in prison after admitting to trading child pornography content. Virginia federal judge Claude Hilton handed down the judgment that was just one year more than the minimum term Meek, 54, was seeking, prosecutors announced. The Virginia US Attorney’s Office last week asked the judge for a much heavier penalty of between 12 1/2 years and 15 years behind bars — what federal guidelines recommended for the once-acclaimed journalist though still far below the 20-year maximum he faced. Meanwhile, Meek sought leniency emphasizing he had taken total responsibility and had never previously been charged with another crime. In July, the former national security reporter copped to tran...

http://youtu.be/ZLR9ms3ixsw Now-former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley took a parting shot at former President Donald Trump during his retirement ceremony Friday. Explaining the “unique” nature of the US military, the 65-year-old Milley emphasized that we “don’t take an oath to an individual” in America. “We don’t take an oath to a king, or queen, or a tyrant or a dictator. We don’t take an oath to a wannabe dictator,” spat Milley, apparently referring to Trump, 77. “… We take an oath to the Constitution, and we take an oath to the idea that is America and we’re willing to die to protect it,” he added. Milley’s sign-off came seven days after Trump wrote on Truth Social that the general’s impending retirement would be “a time for all citizens of the USA to celebr...
