http://youtu.be/VmEG3EE22_I Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy came out with a bonkers 9/11 conspiracy theory during a recent interview with The Atlantic magazine about the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, newly released audio revealed Tuesday. A profile by Atlantic staff writer John Hendrickson published Monday quoted Ramaswamy as saying: “I think it is legitimate to say how many police, how many federal agents, were on the planes that hit the Twin Towers. Maybe the answer is zero. It probably is zero for all I know, right? I have no reason to think it was anything other than zero. But if we’re doing a comprehensive assessment of what happened on 9/11, we have a 9/11 commission, absolutely that should be an answer the public knows the answer to. “Well, if we’re doing a Jan. 6...

http://youtu.be/knumcuIpQQM Mayor Eric Adams defended his handling of the migrants in New York City on Tuesday — saying he’s been a hands-on manager of the crisis as he faces criticism from the governor’s office. “I’m on the ground, I’m not detached from this,” Hizzoner said in a pre-taped interview on “CBS This Morning” when asked about reports of frozen food being provided to migrants. “When we hear about one of our service providers not meeting our standards, we immediately get in,” Adams said, adding, “I walk through surprise visits to see the quality of service.” “Once a week, I’m looking at one of the locations to make sure we’re reaching the standard.” Gov. Kathy Hochul’s office slammed the Big Apple’s mayor last week, writing in a scathing court filing that he’s been slow to a...

http://youtu.be/Spt8lcx7Atc Passengers aboard an Alaska Airlines flight bound for California received the scare of a lifetime when their plane began shaking, sparking and smoking during a rough landing. Video from inside Flight 1288 shows the moment the plane, which departed from Seattle, was landing at John Wayne Airport on Sunday, much to the excitement of 16-year-old passenger Abhi Amineni, who was filming the scene. The teen’s fascination, however, quickly turned to terror when the plane hit the ground with a sudden jolt, with passengers heard screaming and cursing at the rough landing. When the teen’s camera refocuses to the view outside the window, sparks could be seen flying up as the tip of the wing fit the ground, followed by thick smoke as the plane’s landing gear failed. Fo...

http://youtu.be/EWzp8F1QPVI A woman narrowly escaped death after someone threw a spear through her windshield while she was driving on a Texas highway. Shavone Canales was traveling on Interstate 10 in San Antonio around 9:30 p.m. on Monday when the metal weapon smashed through her front windshield, according to police. Fortunately, the spear was stopped by her steering wheel and Canales was not injured.

Because if it’s not me, it’s going to be somebody else,” Canales told News4 San Antonio.

http://youtu.be/7jLG47w80-4 Newly released body camera video captured the dramatic rescue of a woman who was left chained to the floor of a Kentucky home for two days. Louisville Metro police officers climbed through the second-floor window of a decrepit home last Wednesday night after neighbors reported hearing screams for help. The officers tried to break into the building by kicking down doors and windows, only to find the home completely barricaded, the LMPD said Tuesday. The woman broke through the window of the second-floor room where she was being held captive. “I got a ladder!” a neighbor shouted from the crowd that had gathered on the street.

http://youtu.be/6AtMcr0lAxk An Indian spacecraft landed on the moon on Wednesday (August 23) in a mission seen as crucial to lunar exploration and India's standing as a space power. Prime Minister Narendra Modi waved the Indian flag as he watched the landing from South Africa, where he is attending the BRICS summit. Scientists and officials clapped, cheered and hugged each other as the spacecraft landed and as the government now looks to spur investment in private space launches and related satellite-based businesses. This was India's second attempt to land a spacecraft on the moon and comes less than a week after Russia's Luna-25 mission failed. #india #moon #chandrayaan3 #marendramodi #space The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business,...

http://youtu.be/iOlf1eIq0ww The wildfire service in British Columbia has released dramatic footage of what they described as a fire whirl spinning over a lake during an out-of-control wildfire. According to the fire service, the video was captured by ground personnel at the scene of the Downton Lake wildfire in the Gun Lake area on August 17. The formation was the result of a “combination of high fire intensity, strong winds and air mass instability,” the fire service said. “Fire whirls are an incredibly rare phenomenon,” they said. “These unique conditions and extreme fire behaviour are not experienced on the majority of fires in British Columbia.” By August 23, the fire had burned some 7,382 hectares (over 18,200 acres), according to the wildfire service. #canada #tornado #wildfire...

http://youtu.be/IaPSTXq_VVw A Chicago woman fired off emails threatening to shoot former President Donald Trump and his son Barron “straight in the face” and is facing federal charges, authorities say. Tracy Fiorenza, 41 — who wore a skull T-shirt to her first court appearance — wrote two frightening missives to the headmaster of 17-year-old Barron’s Palm Beach County, Fla., school in May and June, according to a criminal complaint filed earlier this month in the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida. “I will state that I will shoot Donald Trump Sr. AND Barron Trump straight in the face at any opportunity I get!” Fiorenza allegedly wrote in one unhinged email May 21 — following up with a second one June 5 saying she would “slam a bullet” into Barron’s head “with his fa...

http://youtu.be/29k7d7RKBgw Republican presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy slammed CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins as a “petulant teenager” on Tuesday after a contentious interview over comments the former biotech executive made about the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. “Hilarious interview with @CNN last night,” the 38-year-old GOP hopeful wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday. “Felt like I was talking to a petulant teenager.” The Post has sought comment from CNN. Ramaswamy took issue with Collins pressing him over remarks that he made to The Atlantic magazine suggesting that federal agents were on board the hijacked airliners that were flown into the World Trade Center nearly 22 years ago. During Monday’s interview with Collins on her new show “The Source,” Ramaswamy insisted that he was...

http://youtu.be/JZqRJIpRLfc The family and friends of a missing South Carolina woman reportedly fear she was last with suspected Long Island serial killer Rex Heuermann — a possibility being investigated by police. Julia Ann Bean’s daughter immediately recognized Heuermann, 59, when shown a photo of the suspected killer, who owns a home in the Palmetto State, family friend Hiedi Kovas told the US Sun. “I have chills … I’ve seen him,” the daughter replied in text messages viewed by the outlet. “That was the last man I saw her with personally,” she texted of the night her then-36-year-old mom went missing in June 2017. “She knew him right away,” Kovas also told Pix 11 of Bean’s daughter, who was not identified by either outlet.

http://youtu.be/9O3ON8WX4Dc Seven schoolkids and one teacher were miraculously rescued Tuesday from a cable car dangling 900 feet high — nearly 16 hours after the cord suddenly snapped above a ravine in Pakistan. The group first got stuck at 7 a.m. local time when one of the cables on the gondola taking them to school in mountainous Battagram broke. The “extremely risky” rescue operation — involving military commandos being winched down from helicopters in dangerously high winds — continued nearly all day before officials finally announced its successful completion. “All the kids have been successfully and safely rescued,” Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar tweeted triumphantly just before midnight. “Great teamwork by the military, rescue departments, district administration...

http://youtu.be/iYbV_GTY5k4 A Texas man opened fire on a pair of suspects who tried to break into his home over the weekend in a wild scene caught in doorbell footage. One of the suspects, Aaron Contreras, knocked on the apartment door of Ethan Rodriguez on Saturday evening and claimed to be a maintenance worker there to check on the filters in his air conditioner, according to doorbell camera footage and an affidavit obtained by Fox Dallas. Rodriguez, who was inside, answered the door via a digital doorbell app on his phone and claimed that no one was home, the video shows. A few minutes later, Contreras came back with a handgun and attempted to kick down the front door to Rodriguez’s apartment, according to the clip. A second man wearing a mask ran up the stairs and also tried to ki...

http://youtu.be/Avrfkk8TKGA The Obama family’s “beloved” personal chef, Tafari Campbell, died of accidental drowning while paddleboarding in a Martha’s Vineyard lake, an autopsy confirmed Tuesday. Campbell’s cause of death has officially been ruled to be “submersion in a body of water” — and his manner of death has been determined to be an accident, according to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner of Massachusetts. The results of Campbell’s autopsy have not been made public as per state policy, Timothy McGuirk, a spokesman for the Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety and Security, told the Washington Post.

http://youtu.be/mSWH0JCBnVg 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/nuTfJ2jMnlU Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani turned himself in at Atlanta’s main jail Wednesday afternoon in connection to attempts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia. Giuliani, 79, pulled up to the Fulton County Jail in a black SUV and shook hands with a sheriff’s officer before walking inside to be booked on 13 counts, including violating Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, and have his mugshot taken. His bond was set at $150,000. Hours earlier, the man once known as “America’s Mayor” delivered an embittered rant to reporters as he left his Upper East Side home. “I don’t know how many times he has to be proven innocent and they have to be proven to be liars. Actually, enemies of our republic, we are destroying ri...
