http://youtu.be/FISKCKsMbsI California lawmakers are pushing legislation that would impose a new tax on the state’s wealthiest residents — even if they’ve already moved to another part of the country. Assemblyman Alex Lee, a progressive Democrat, last week introduced a bill in the California State Legislature that would impose an extra annual 1.5% tax on those with a “worldwide net worth” above $1 billion, starting as early as January 2024. As early as 2026, the threshold for being taxed would drop: those with a worldwide net worth exceeding $50 million would be hit with a 1% annual tax on wealth, while billionaires would still be taxed 1.5%.

http://youtu.be/bw4M8RNnDXc Four male suspects have been arrested in the rape of a Louisiana State University sorority member after she was later dumped on the side of the road and fatally struck by a car following a night of drinking, police said. Kaivon Deondre Washington, 18, Everett Lee, 28, and Casen Carver, 18, turned themselves in Monday, more than a week after 19-year-old Madison Brooks was fatally struck in Baton Rouge, the Advocate reported. A fourth suspect, a 17-year-old boy who had not been identified because he is a minor, turned himself in on Sunday, the outlet reported. Brooks had been drinking at Reggie’s, a bar near the LSU campus where she met the 17-year-old suspect on Jan. 15, the newspaper reported.

http://youtu.be/qMte__Oa0o8 Rep. George Santos, the chronically untruthful Long Island Republican who has fabricated much of his biography, claimed in a newly unearthed podcast interview that he survived an “assassination attempt” — and separately had his shoes stolen off his feet during a mugging in the middle of Fifth Avenue. The notorious fabulist made a series of wild allegations during a virtual sit-down with a Brazilian podcast in December, which was translated from Portuguese by MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” and aired on Monday. “We have already suffered an attempt on my life, an assassination attempt, a threatening letter, having to have the police, a police escort standing in front of our house,” said Santos, who previously went by the name Anthony Devolder and was introduce...

http://youtu.be/fYw6hZGR7wk Former Vice President Mike Pence turned over two boxes of records with classified markings that were found at his Indiana home to the FBI in the latest high-profile instance of a high-ranking official potentially mishandling secret documents. Pence, 63, said he found the records after the bombshell revelation earlier this month that President Biden stashed classified records dating to his vice presidency at a DC office and next to his classic car at his Delaware home — sparking a special counsel investigation. The FBI took the records from Pence’s home on Jan. 19, while he was in Washington to attend the annual anti-abortion March for Life, his office disclosed Tuesday. The Justice Department’s National Security Division and the FBI have launched a review of...

http://youtu.be/KhjcTSDWZuM Actor Ben Savage, best known for starring on the hit ABC sitcom “Boy Meets World,” is set to make a bid for Congress. According to paperwork filed with the Federal Election Commission Wednesday, Savage’s run as a Democrat will be in California’s 30th District seat, currently held by Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Burbank. Per Deadline, Schiff is expected to run for US Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s seat, however, that has yet to be confirmed. California’s 30th district contains neighborhoods such as Burbank, Pasadena and West Hollywood. Savage’s dip into politics comes as no surprise following his unsuccessful bid for a seat on the West Hollywood City Council last year.

http://youtu.be/BBNl2MQk3V8 Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo alleges in an explosive new memoir that former President Donald Trump told him to “shut the hell up for a while” about China hiding early COVID-19 pandemic information — after Chinese President Xi Jinping said it was a sore topic. Pompeo writes that Xi was furious about the top US diplomat’s criticism of Beijing’s non-transparency at a March 25, 2020, State Department press conference and asked Trump during a March 26 call to silence him. The Chinese leader told Trump that Pompeo was putting at risk the “phase one” trade deal that the two leaders had brokered that January, according to Semafor, which was given a copy of Pompeo’s “Never Give An Inch” ahead of its Jan. 24 release. “My Mike, that f–ing guy hates you!” Trump...

http://youtu.be/b9UKLnOKOME A California dog owner has an Apple AirTag to thank for being reunited with her Australian shepherd after the pup was swept away by floodwaters this week. Emilie Brill was walking 1-year-old Seamus in San Bernardino County on Monday when he got away from her and ended up in a flood control basin churning with swift-moving floodwaters, which swept the pooch away before she could grab him. “The water was going so fast, I think all it took was one paw in that water and he was gone,” Brill told KABC. Crews from San Bernardino County Fire were dispatched and began scouring the area in search of Seamus, according to a Facebook post from the agency detailing the incident. While canvassing the area, firefighters were flagged down by an employee at an RV facility o...

http://youtu.be/nd2k6mKRDE0 Investigators on Thursday released the identity of the person who was shot and killed by law enforcement officers who were trying to clear protesters camping at the site of a planned Atlanta-area public safety training center that opponents have dubbed “Cop City.” Manuel Esteban Paez Teran, 26, was shot and killed Wednesday morning, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Teran was inside a tent in the woods and did not comply with verbal commands from law enforcement officers trying to clear the area, the GBI has said. When Teran shot and injured a state trooper, other law enforcement officers returned fire and killed Teran, the GBI has said. Activists have questioned the police version of events and called for the release of law enforcement body ...

http://youtu.be/g3CipC0nnFo President Biden said Thursday he has “no regrets” about keeping the discovery of mishandled classified documents dating to his vice presidency under wraps until after last year’s midterms. A cache of documents with classified markings was found Nov. 2 — six days before the election — inside a DC office Biden used after he left the Obama administration, but the unearthing was kept under wraps until CBS News broke the story Jan. 9. Biden scolded a female reporter who asked him about the controversy during a trip to tour storm damage in California. “What quite frankly bugs me is that we have a serious problem here we’re talking about,” Biden said. “We’re talking about what’s going on, and the American people don’t quite understand why you don’t ask me questions...

http://youtu.be/_QDgortRLvM Disneyland workers laughed at a 66-year-old disabled woman before she fell getting off the Jungle Cruise ride — and died five months later from septic shock, a lawsuit alleges. The family of Joanne Aguilar filed the wrongful death suit in Ventura County, California, in the fall, and it was assigned to a judge earlier this month. The lawsuit names as defendants the Walt Disney Company, its theme park division and Disneyland. According to the complaint obtained by The Post, Aguilar visited the Anaheim amusement park on Aug. 21, 2021, with her two adult daughters, Zenobia Hernandez and Andrea Maullul. The family obtained a wheelchair from the park for Aguilar, who was recovering from a knee injury at the time. Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/01/20/disneyl...

http://youtu.be/N7rcjdimm_0 The wife of California lawyer Elliot Blair was told by police on scene that her husband was shot in the head the night he died at a resort in Mexico, an attorney representing the family told The Post Thursday — though Mexican authorities reportedly denied that assertion. The bombshell revelation continued the series of conflicting statements between Blair’s grieving family and Mexican authorities into what led to the Orange County public defender’s death last Saturday at Las Rocas Resort and Spa. Blair’s family and friends have insisted that he was the victim of a “brutal crime” while Mexican officials have said his death was from an accidental fall from a balcony at the resort.

http://youtu.be/ceKIdi3wQDU These “humanoid” robots are dancing their way into the future — and freaked-out humans are predicting apocalyptic world domination is surely on the horizon. The latest video from the Boston Dynamics, an often-viral engineering and robotics company, shows the organization’s newest humanoid — named Atlas — completing tasks and showing off its dancing, flipping and parkour skills. After watching the clip, social media watchdogs couldn’t help but note the similarities between Atlas and the murderous dancing Model 3 Generative Android (a k a M3GAN) — the star of the hit horror/sci-fi movie of the same name. “Oh look honey! A killing machine that can help around the job site. Does it vacuum and take out the trash too?” @TeslaTomMY1 quipped in a video Twitter threa...

http://youtu.be/ZJWpAHPh9Ks Alec Baldwin will likely be acquitted of involuntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the film “Rust,” said talking head and former legal eagle Megyn Kelly. “My initial instinct is: There’s not a high likelihood of success on the criminal charge,” Kelly said during Thursday’s episode of her SiriusXM program, “The Megyn Kelly Show.” “I really don’t think there is,” she said. “I’m not a huge fan of Alec Baldwin, but, as a lawyer, I don’t see this playing all that well with the jury,” Kelly said.

http://youtu.be/pyvCG0c1V8c Gruesome new details have emerged about the brutal murders of disgraced South Carolina legal scion Alex Murdaugh’s wife and son — including how the boy’s brain was blown out of his head. Murdaugh’s own legal team included graphic crime scene detail in a legal filing trying to get evidence thrown out before the once-powerful lawyer’s double murder trial starts on Monday. It included images from the dog kennels where Murdaugh said he found his wife, Maggie, and their 22-year-old son Paul after they were blasted to death on June 2, 2021. Maggie, 52, was found face down after being shot five times with a rifle, according to a report by forensics expert Kenneth Kinsey, who suggested three of the blasts were while she was standing.
