http://youtu.be/d0d0sT8mRoc Dozens of migrants were digging in their heels Monday and refusing to go to the city’s new massive intake center in Brooklyn, leaving some living under tarps on the street in front of a Manhattan hotel. Single men who recently arrived in the Big Apple after illegally crossing the US’s southern border and claiming asylum are supposed to be boarding free buses en masse from the Hell’s Kitchen hotel to their new digs. Instead, protesting asylum-seekers — decrying the alleged lack of heat and no on-site showers at the new facility at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal in Red Hook — were still roaming around in front of the entrance to the Watson Hotel on West 57th Street, where the city had temporarily stashed them.

http://youtu.be/ST7DHivFvKQ President Biden claimed Monday that he had an Amtrak train key when he was a senator and would ride “about 15% of the time” with engineers on trips home to Delaware. The 80-year-old president shared the memory in Baltimore while touting $4 billion from his $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure law that will be used to build a pair of train tunnels in the city to replace a passage from 1873. “I can say it now since there’s different leadership. I used to about 15% of the time ride with the engineers, for real. And I’m the only guy that I’m aware of — when I stopped riding Amtrak — that had a key to get in the back,” Biden said. It’s unclear if Biden has told the story before, though he regularly shares personal anecdotes that fall apart under scrutiny. Rea...

http://youtu.be/D96ci_USO4E A man has filed a defamation lawsuit against a Florida sheriff who posts weekly “Wheel of Fugitive” videos on social media, saying that he wasn’t a fugitive when his name and image appeared several times in 2021 in the sheriff’s posts inspired by the long-running TV game show “Wheel of Fortune.” Because of the sheriff’s posts, David Gay lost a job and suffered emotional distress, according to the lawsuit seeking more than $50,000 in damages. The lawsuit was filed last week in state court in Brevard County, along Florida’s Space Coast. Gay’s prospective boss called him as he was driving to his first day of work and told him not to bother showing up as he had seen Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey’s “Wheel of Fugitive” videos, the lawsuit said. A spokesman for...

http://youtu.be/4mT37KGfZlk Former President Donald Trump repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment and replied “Same answer” to a litany of questions about his real estate business during a deposition last summer as part of state Attorney General Letitia James’ civil fraud investigation, newly released video shows. Trump, 76, appeared at the attorney general’s office in lower Manhattan on Aug. 10 to be deposed under oath, answering “Yes” when asked by James if he understood the rules. But as the questioning moved into the realm of his finances, Trump invoked his right against self-incrimination for nearly four hours. ​ “Anything you say in this examination may be used in a civil proceeding, and that can include a civil enforcement proceeding or a criminal action.

http://youtu.be/K8yMpzabChY A disabled Florida woman who claimed to have been paralyzed after falling down a plane walkway because Southwest Airlines staffers refused to help her has died. Gaby Assouline, 25, who suffered from a genetic muscle disease, was using a wheelchair while traveling to Denver from the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in February 2022 when she and her mother asked an airline employee for help, according to an ongoing lawsuit. Assouline and her family assert that her request was refused and that she was forced to make her way down the jet bridge on her own. She was soon “thrown” from the wheelchair and landed on her head, causing catastrophic injuries that left her paralyzed from the neck down, the suit says. After 11 bedridden months, Assouline p...

http://youtu.be/Gt7ypyg0pR0 A group of migrants fueled by griping so-called advocates turned up their noses at free new lodging in Brooklyn on Tuesday — even after a personal tour of the site by the city’s immigration chief. The single men said they would rather sleep in the cold on the sidewalk outside Manhattan’s three-star Watson Hotel, where they were booted over the weekend to make room for families, than stay at the freshly opened Cruise Terminal housing center in Red Hook.

http://youtu.be/TcGRkEQTRJU Two female passengers were arrested at Miami International Airport after a fight with an airline worker, followed by a clash with cops that was caught on video. Cellphone footage that was provided to NBC 6 Miami by the news media site Only In Dade shows the two unruly women being pinned down Tuesday by police officers. One of the arrestees sporting bright pink hair is seen kicking her feet and trying to crawl away on her stomach while screaming “Get off of me!” at the top of her lungs. The other woman is lying face down on the floor with her hands restrained behind her back. The incident that preceded that chaotic arrest took place around 9:30 a.m. Tuesday at a Frontier Airlines ticket counter, where an airline employee informed the two women that they coul...

http://youtu.be/JG-egbOAQ4o Pope Francis criticized laws that criminalize homosexuality as “unjust” — while still maintaining that being gay is “a sin.” “Being homosexual isn’t a crime,” Francis said Tuesday during an interview at the Vatican hotel where he lives. “It’s not a crime. Yes … it’s a sin. Fine, but first let’s distinguish between a sin and a crime,” the 86-year-old pontiff said of Catholic teaching that holds that homosexual acts are “intrinsically disordered.” “It’s also a sin to lack charity with one another,” he stressed.

http://youtu.be/hQA2bTBEd1A A Belgian doctor has furiously denied that his country acts as a “euthanasia dispenser” for the rest of Europe after a French YouTube star said she was heading there for assisted suicide. Dr. Yves de Locht — a Brussels physician who has been practicing euthanasia for more than a decade — made the claim in an interview with Le Parisien, which was translated by the Telegraph on Monday. “One can euthanize young people, but specialists must certify that the disease is incurable,” de Locht declared, refuting allegations Belgium is a “death ward.” Euthanasia has been legal in Belgium for nearly two decades, but a patient must be in “constant and unbearable physical or mental suffering that cannot be alleviated.” About 2,500 people are euthanized there every year. ...

http://youtu.be/X6YQo0MKHeM The hunt is on for David Miscavige, the fiery, controversial and elusive head of Scientology, who’s being sought by lawyers in a civil child trafficking suit brought by former church members in federal court. The case involves three plaintiffs who once belonged to the sect’s notorious military-style Sea Org and who allege they were forced into the church as kids and had to work into adulthood for almost no pay. Valeska Paris, along with married couple Gawain and Laura Baxter, filed the complaint last year after quitting Sea Org more than a decade ago. According to the plaintiffs’ lawyers, process servers have tried 27 times over four months to serve Miscavige in both Los Angeles, where Scientology has a formidable presence, as well as its headquarters in Cl...

http://youtu.be/eBb9f_SO0hw The estranged wife of a transgender woman who was convicted of raping two women when she was a man has accused the “monster” of “bulls—-ing” authorities to get “an easier life in prison” — after she was sent to a female prison to await sentencing. Shonna Graham, 31, told the Daily Mail that she had only known Isla Bryson, also 31, as shaven-headed Adam Graham, the name he was still using in 2020 during a court appearance for the rape of two women. “When I saw the photos of him dressed as a woman with a blond wig and pink Lycra leggings, I fell out of bed laughing,” she said of the “monster” rapist.

http://youtu.be/Y_QObziJkt8 While artificial intelligence systems might make lives exponentially easier, they could also have a sinister side effect — making us go extinct. That’s right, researchers are deeming rogue AI an “existential threat to humanity” that needs to be regulated like nuclear weapons if we are to survive. “With superhuman AI there is a particular risk that is of a different sort of class, which is . . . it could kill everyone,” warned Michael Cohen, a doctoral student at Oxford University, the Times of London reported. Meanwhile, his colleague Michael Osborne, who teaches machine learning at the UK university, forecasts that advanced AI could “pose just as much risk to us as we have posed to other species: the dodo is one example.” The scientists’ ominous forecast co...
