Kristen McMullen, 30, had been battling the virus and pneumonia for two weeks before her death last Friday, according to NBC News.

http://youtu.be/By0Y9Aorv6I New York Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul, who in 12 days is slated to take over for Gov. Andrew Cuomo, said Thursday she believes face masks should be required when kids return to school — but promised to take a more “collaborative” approach on COVID-19 precautions. “Well, this is an opinion right now, because Gov. Cuomo is still in office, and the state only has one governor at the time, but when I become governor, this will be a key issue,” Hochul said on NBC’s “Today” Thursday morning. “And my view is that people will be women, children, and everyone in a school environment will be masked,” she added. However, the incoming governor insisted that she will leave coronavirus prevention measures in schools up to the school districts — as her predecessor decided. “That...

http://youtu.be/2GAJq_4bS_8 Mayor Bill de Blasio tore into his political nemesis, warning Thursday that outgoing Gov. Andrew Cuomo could do more damage before leaving office in disgrace — and urged New Yorkers to remain vigilant until then. “I think people should keep a very close eye on him after everything he’s done and I don’t know why it needs to be 12 days, honestly,” de Blasio said. “I think we’re all ready to move on and I think the quicker we can move on, the better, at this point,” he said. During his first news conference since Cuomo’s stunning resignation Tuesday, de Blasio blamed the disgraced Democrat’s downfall on an insatiable thirst for power, calling it a “cautionary tale for everyone” that’s “almost Shakespearean.” “In the end, history will judge him harshly because ...

http://youtu.be/3i7gh6yJt6E Megyn Kelly has ripped exiting New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and “his loser brother,” Chris, for abusing their “privilege” handed to them by their late “daddy.“ Kelly told Newsmax that New Yorkers “loved the Cuomos” thanks to the “very popular” patriarch, three-term Gov. Mario Cuomo, who died on New Year’s Day 2015. It meant his accused sex-harasser son Andrew, 63, was “born in such a family of privilege — he and his loser brother on CNN,” Kelly said of 51-year-old “Cuomo Prime Time” host Chris. “These guys never would have achieved the positions they have had it not been for their daddy and his name,” she insisted. “So they get to these positions, and what do they do — they abuse them,” she said. #MeghanKelly #AndrewCuomo #ChrisCuomo #NewYorkPost The New Yo...

http://youtu.be/S-IdwQVjVa8 A 21-year-old man was bitten by a venomous snake while hiking after dark in New Jersey, according to a new report. Kevin Murray, of Pennington, was hiking in Hopewell Township Aug. 5 when the copperhead snake suddenly struck — but he didn’t realize what had happened until he fell down, he told WPVI-TV. “I just felt a sharp sting right on my ankle,” Murray told the station. Then a few feet away, he spotted his scaly attacker — which a herpetologist later identified as a copperhead. The large snakes, found throughout the southern and eastern US, are responsible for more venomous bites than any other in the country — partly because their population is so widespread, according to National Geographic. #Snake #NewJersey #NewYorkPost The New York Post is you...

http://youtu.be/kGsdPpGfUB0 “Undisputed” host Jenny Taft gave co-host Skip Bayless the business on Wednesday’s episode of the FS1 show. While discussing HBO’s “Hard Knocks,” which features the Cowboys in its new season, Taft took issue with Bayless over his comment about Dallas head coach Mike McCarthy’s physical appearance. “I don’t know if Mike McCarthy’s motivational speech [in ;Hard Knocks’] was the most inspiring, but criticizing his appearance — I don’t know if that’s a fair shot for Mike McCarthy, I’m going to leave it at that,” Taft said. When she attempted to move on with the show, Bayless said, “Thanks, Jenny, appreciate that,” to which she reiterated, “I don’t think it is a fair shot.” Bayless hit back, “Well, I don’t think that’s a fair shot.” #JennyTaft #SkipBayless #New...

http://youtu.be/D1m-fGRZzkk President Biden is “exploring” the idea of granting clemency to people who are serving federal prison sentences for drug crimes, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Wednesday. It would be a dramatic pivot for Biden, who authored some of the nation’s harshest drug laws in the 1980s and ’90s. In January, then-President Donald Trump freed two men serving life without parole for marijuana dealing under Biden’s 1994 crime law. #Biden #Psaki #WhiteHouse The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, fashion, and more.

http://youtu.be/sfQOUpZLP34 A veteran Florida middle school teacher was charged with drug trafficking after deputies found multiple grams of fentanyl, methamphetamine and heroin in his RV, deputies said. Jeffrey Scott Brake, a 52-year-old math teacher at Citrus Springs Middle School, was busted Monday after two search warrants executed at his Dunnellon home and adjoining RV revealed a host of “life-threatening” drugs and related paraphernalia, according to the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies first found a glass pipe in Brake’s pocket that tested positive for meth before searching the RV and discovering two eyeglass cases. Three clear plastic baggies inside the cases contained substances that later tested positive for meth, heroin and fentanyl, authorities said. #JeffreyScottBr...

Based on witness testimony, police investigator Peter Beer said there was “a reasonable suspicion” that the rogue medical professional had administered shots of saline solution to up to 8,600 patients who were slated to receive the COVID jab, Reuters reported. #COVID19 #Vaccine #AntiVax The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, fashion, and more.

http://youtu.be/fajfcq7L5q8 Apparently, the main symptom of being an anti-vaxxer is no sense of humor. In case you thought anti-vaccine hysteria wasn’t on the rise, a TikTok comic released a video parody claiming that Californians are being injected with a coronavirus vaccine against their will — and scores of people apparently believed it. The coronaviral clip currently boasts more than 6 million views on the app. “I don’t ever try to assert my videos as fact,” US filmmaker Gray Fagan — who goes by @graysworld on TikTok — told the Daily Dot of the “intentionally ridiculous” clip. #COVID19 #CovidVaccine #TikTok The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, fashion, and more.

http://youtu.be/e3vGOGH8zJo WASHINGTON — White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Tuesday praised the “courageous women” whose complaints of sexual harassment forced Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s resignation. The Democratic governor said Tuesday he will step down after a devastating report commissioned by New York Attorney General Letitia James found he harassed 11 women — making impeachment likely. “Our view is that this is a story about these courageous women who came forward, told their stories, shared their stories,” Psaki said at her daily press briefing. President Biden last week called on Cuomo to resign following the release of the report that corroborated claims that Cuomo made lewd remarks and inappropriately touched subordinates. Psaki declined to comment on whether Cuomo should resi...

http://youtu.be/5mZ86bGFWLE With New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s announcement Tuesday that he will be resigning over sexual harassment allegations, Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul is set to become the Empire State’s first woman governor. Hochul, 62, will succeed Cuomo once his resignation goes into effect in 14 days. “Kathy is absolutely ready,” Erie County Democratic Party Chairman Jeremy Zellner previously told The Post. “There’s one word that describes our lieutenant governor: tenacious,” continued Zellner, pointing to Hochul’s ability to appeal to rural and urban Democrats alike. “She’s been a bulldog from day one. She knows what needs to get done for the people of New York.” In a damning report commissioned by state Attorney General Letitia James and compiled by independent investigators, 11 ...

http://youtu.be/eZjQkX_Dj18 Twitter has suspended Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s personal account for one week following another violation of the platform’s rules over a statement about the COVID-19 vaccine, the company said Tuesday. On Monday, Greene (R-Ga.) tweeted that the Food and Drug Administration “should not approve the covid vaccines.” Greene said “there are too many reports of infection & spread” of COVID-19 even among those who are vaccinated. She added that the vaccines “are failing.” Twitter flagged the tweet as misleading and as a result, locked Greene’s account in “read-only mode for a week.” “The Tweet you referenced was labeled in line with our COVID-19 misleading information policy. The account will be in read-only mode for a week due to repeated violations of th...

http://youtu.be/N_-1ntfRm7w The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is sounding the alarm on a rare illness that was previously only seen in tropical climates, particularly South Asia and northern Australia. Now, two people are dead and two have recovered after being infected with melioidosis — a disease that had never before been detected on contiguous US soil. Melioidosis has now been seen in Georgia, Kansas, Texas and Minnesota, LiveScience reported. The only other known cases of melioidosis in the US were in the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico in the Caribbean. None of the four patients claimed to have traveled outside the country prior to becoming sick between March and July of this year. The CDC “believes the most likely cause is an imported product (such as a food or dr...

http://youtu.be/PZgImG_5qRY Rep. Elise Stefanik is blasting a local Vermont TV news channel for “outrageously sexist” remarks after the outlet aired a segment discussing her pregnancy. “Wow. It’s 2021. This is a real TV clip aired in #NY21 this evening,” the GOP conference chair tweeted on Friday, linking to the segment. “A local news station thinks it’s appropriate for two male ‘journalists/analysts’ to question whether a pregnant woman or new mother can effectively legislate in elected office.” The segment, which aired on WCAX, included reporter Darren Perron asking, “In terms of leadership, will her absence though — physical absence — on Capitol Hill hurt her role in the Republican Party?” The reply from SUNY Plattsburgh political scientist Harvey Schantz was, “At a personal level...

http://youtu.be/CvLs2qv6Wkg Women allegedly victimized by Gov. Andrew Cuomo called the resignation of his “enabler-in-chief” Melissa DeRosa a cowardly move Monday after the top aide announced her sudden departure amid criticism over her attempts to discredit the governor’s accusers. “Ms. DeRosa was Cuomo’s enabler-in-chief and is jumping ship only when she sees no other way to save herself,” Alyssa McGrath and Virginia Limmiatis, two of the 11 women who Attorney General Letitia James found were sexually harassed by the governor, said through their attorney Mariann Wang. Cuomo “Her resignation isn’t enough: she still refuses to take responsibility for her role in Cuomo’s unlawful conduct,” Wang said. DeRosa, 38, released a short statement Sunday night announcing she’d be stepping down...

http://youtu.be/AspjlGnUJHY The first woman to publicly accuse Gov. Andrew Cuomo of sexual harassment has confirmed her plans to sue him — insisting that the powerful politician is still “gaslighting and revictimizing” women. “Finally, the world now believes what I have known for years but had been too afraid to reveal: the Governor of New York sexually harassed and abused far too many women, for far too long,” former aide Lindsey Boylan wrote in a blog post Monday. “It’s not ‘our truth.’ It’s the truth,” she said of the 10 other women who came forward after her December tweets about Cuomo’s alleged behavior. #AndrewCuomo #LindseyBoylan #SexualAssault #NewYorkPost The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real es...

http://youtu.be/REDEH_RBvAc Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says she thought she was going to be raped during the Jan. 6 Capitol siege. “I didn’t think that I was just going to be killed. I thought other things were going to happen to me as well,” the New York City congresswoman told CNN in a segment set to air Monday. Asked if that meant rape, AOC nodded and replied, “Yeah. “Yeah, I thought I was.” The socialist lawmaker — who has said she was a victim of previous sexual assault — hid in the bathroom of her office across the street as the chaos unfolded. Her building is connected to the Capitol by underground tunnels. Ocasio-Cortez said that while hiding, she heard someone outside yelling, “Where is she?!” from a corridor. #AlexandriaOcasio-Cortez #Capitol #Siege #NewYorkPost The N...

http://youtu.be/4uRkt7Q-vPw Conservative shock jock, Newsmax anchor, voice-over actor and vocal anti-vaxxer Dick Farrel has died after contracting COVID-19. The Queens native was 65. The radio veteran was beloved by fans for his strong far-right opinions, including that Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential election was fraudulent, the coronavirus vaccine is of questionable efficacy, and Dr. Anthony Fauci is a “power-tripping lying freak” conspiring with “power trip lib loons,” the Daily Mail reported. Although Farrel called the vaccine “bogus bull shid” [sic] that’s “promoted by people who lied 2u all along” as recently as July on social media, loved ones now say that, after being hospitalized for the novel virus, Farrel changed his stance on the vaccine. #DickFarrel #COVID19 #RIP The New ...

http://youtu.be/OYAR8O0AuF8 The 21-year-old son of comedian and actor Tony Baker (“A Black Lady Sketch Show”) was among three people killed in a devastating car crash in Burbank, California, on Tuesday night, Aug. 3. The victims, who were ejected from their vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene, included Tony’s son, Cerain Baker, and his friends Jaiden Johnson, 20, and Natalee Moghaddam, 19. An unnamed fourth passenger sustained serious injuries and was transported to a local trauma center, according to a press release from the Burbank Police Department. Cerain’s father said that his son’s death “feels like it’s not real,” telling NBC 4 Los Angeles, “We get waves of grief. We sob uncontrollably.

http://youtu.be/fjPH7HhoJ2A President Biden on Thursday signed a bill awarding the Congressional Gold Medal to the police forces that battled Capitol rioters on Jan. 6 — while bizarrely comparing the officers to student athletes who fight off crowds that “jump” them at rival high schools. Biden called the frenzied crowd of then-President Donald Trump’s supporters “extremists and terrorists” and said that “we cannot allow history to be rewritten.” But the president also attempted to hail the officers for their bravery with a surprising comparison to what he said was the type of people he knew from his hometowns in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and Claymont, Delaware. “All kidding aside, I got to know you,” Biden said to officers in attendance at the White House Rose Garden event. #Biden #Cap...

http://youtu.be/bj_h0F01z6g Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis ripped President Biden Wednesday, accusing the White House of trying to implement a “biomedical security state” and warning that “I don’t want to hear a blip about COVID” until the administration’s border policy changes. DeSantis was scheduled to deliver remarks on Florida’s economy at an event in Panama City, but instead unleashed a four-and-a-half-minute diatribe against the president, accusing him of trying to “single out” Florida over its rise in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations. “This is a guy who ran for president saying he was gonna ‘shut down the virus’. And what has he done?” DeSantis asked. “He’s imported more virus from around the world by having a wide-open southern border“. “I can tell you, whatever varian...
