The veteran actor died in Orange County, California, on August 5. No further details were released. “His greatest love was his family. Richard was fortunate to marry the love of his life, his true soulmate, Kathy,” the LA Times wrote in its obituary. With a glittering TV career spanning nearly a half-century, Roat boasted notable credits in “Cheers,” “Murphy Brown,” “Hawaii Five-O” and “Happy Days.” Born on July 3, 1933, the actor dabbled in various TV shows in the early 1960s before landing his first recurring role as Dr. Jerry Chandler on the NBC soap opera “The Doctors” in 1962. He went on to star in over 170 episodes during the show’s first year. ...

http://youtu.be/HQ9HTr1sIPc Longtime NBC personality Chuck Todd is reportedly on the chopping block at the network as top brass pursue a shakeup at his poorly rated Sunday show “Meet the Press.” David Gelles, an ex-CNN staffer who recently took over as the new executive producer at “Meet the Press,” is considering whether to retain Todd as his “first order of business,” a report said on Tuesday. Todd could be forced out despite recently signing a two-year contract extension at NBC. Sources told the Daily Beast’s “Confider” newsletter that Todd has “baffled many at NBC with how long he’s remained atop the struggling show.” Gelles was purportedly tapped to fix a ratings drain at “Meet the Press,” with viewership down 21% compared to last year.

http://youtu.be/FvngyG134cQ Podcaster Joe Rogan pushed his listeners to “vote Republican” while taking Democratic Party leaders to task over their policies related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The comedian slammed COVID-19 lockdowns and other restrictive measures during a discussion with NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers on an episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” released last Saturday. Rogan and Rodgers each pointed to measures taken in some Democrat-led states to limit outdoor dining and beach access as COVID-19 cases surged as an example of missteps — with the latter referencing California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s infamous outing at the French Laundry restaurant even as the state implemented restrictions.

http://youtu.be/fHeZUlA7YdQ ID checks for whipped cream are rolling out at stores in New York as more retailers begin to enforce a year-old state law banning the sale of whipped cream canisters to anyone under 21. The law passed last year amid concern that teenagers are increasingly getting high by inhaling the nitrous oxide used as a propellant in the canisters, according to the Albany Times Union. The first offense of selling whipped cream canisters to someone under 21 comes with a $250 fine, with fines of up to $500 for subsequent violations. Nitrous oxide, or “laughing gas,” is a dissociative anesthetic that can be inhaled by discharging nitrous gas cartridges known as “whippets,” according to the Alcohol and Drug Foundation. In addition to short-lived euphoria, the drug can also c...

Authorities discovered Hoffenberg, who spent 18 years in prison for running a half-billion-dollar Ponzi scheme, dead in his home around 8 p.m. Tuesday. It is not clear exactly when he died.

http://youtu.be/JB0gHYQQ3pQ President Biden caused an uproar Wednesday by announcing that his administration will forgive billions of dollars in federal student loan debt, potentially wiping the financial slate clean for 20 million Americans — despite Republicans and experts warning the bailout would worsen America’s tenuous economic situation. In unveiling the plan to write off up to $20,000 in student loan debt incurred by borrowers who have received federal Pell Grants for their education and make below a certain income, along with up to $10,000 in debt for non-Pell Grant recipients, the president insisted that “an entire generation is now saddled with unsustainable debt.” “The burden is so heavy that even if you graduate, you may not have access to the middle class life that the col...

http://youtu.be/GtiAQq2hn8A First lady Jill Biden has once again tested positive for COVID-19 in a “rebound” case of the virus, her office said in a statement Wednesday. The statement added that Biden “has experienced no reemergence of symptoms” and will remain in isolation in Delaware. The White House said that President Biden, who returned to Washington Wednesday morning after spending much of the previous two weeks in South Carolina and Delaware, had tested negative earlier in the day. However, the administration has previously said that the president was considered a close contact of his wife and would wear a mask for 10 days when indoors and around others.

http://youtu.be/8db7Nn7wloA A man was caught on camera brawling with a teenager outside a California coffee shop last Monday in front of stunned witnesses. The wild afternoon fight outside Havana Savannah in Valencia is being investigated by police, though no arrests have been made, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office told KTLA. Footage of the scuffle, posted to the Instagram page “whatsupscv,” shows the bald man grappling on the ground with the male teenager near a white vehicle in a parking lot. “Hey, go get someone, yo,” an onlooker says while the two struggle. “Somebody call 911,” another chimes in. The man appears to have the teen pinned, but the teen gets himself up, locks his arm around the man’s neck and forces him to the ground. Read more at https://nypost.com/2022/08/1...

http://youtu.be/9XGQI3C8spA The Little League World Series, which is played in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and broadcast on ESPN, is known for producing its fair share of viral moments, courtesy of groups of giddy 12-year-old baseball players from around the country. But one such moment caught on camera has social media spectators crying foul ball, leveling accusations of racism against the youths. During the ESPN broadcast of the MLB Little League Classic between the Orioles and Red Sox, white players from the Davenport, Iowa, team representing the Midwest region were shown on camera topping their black teammate’s hair with the stuffing from a plush animal. “History is literally repeating itself, and not the good kind, either,” said one Twitter user, disturbed by the images.

http://youtu.be/IphNBh6q7rQ More than 100 people reportedly have become ill from eating lettuce from Wendy’s sandwiches — far more than the CDC reported last week — and lawsuits against the company are piling up, The Post has learned. On Friday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said 37 people in four states – Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania – contracted E. coli after eating Wendy’s sandwiches that contained romaine lettuce. But the number of victims, some of whom were hospitalized, has now soared well past 100, experts say. Last week, the Michigan state health department said Michigan alone had received 98 reports of E. coli infections in August compared to 20 cases during the same period last year.

http://youtu.be/peEg6bOWc4A Elon Musk’s private jet flew from San Jose to San Francisco — a 35-mile flight that lasted a total of nine minutes, according to Twitter users who track the tech mogul’s movements. The super-short flight across San Francisco Bay took place on May 6, but Twitter users widely shared the satellite map showing the plane’s flight path over the weekend, with many expressing outrage over the carbon footprint left behind by the head of an electric car company. “Elon Musk took a 9 minute flight to San Francisco from San Jose, which is 5 stops on Caltrain,” tweeted Hayden Clarkin, referring to a local commuter rail that connects San Francisco with cities to its south along the Bay. “I literally have no words.” According to the map, Musk’s plane flew some 35 miles fro...

http://youtu.be/O1_mhAJoo4c A well-known “ethical hacker” who was hired by Twitter to overhaul its cybersecurity alleged that the social media giant has become a security risk for the US after it reneged on a deal with the federal government to set up a system that adequately protects user data. Peiter “Mudge” Zatko — a software engineer who became a star in the hacker community after leading a 1990s-era group called “Cult of the Dead Cow” — filed a complaint with the Securities and Exchange Commission alleging widespread dysfunction at Twitter. Zatko was named head of security by Twitter two years ago after the company was victimized by embarrassing glitches, including the commandeering by hackers of high-profile accounts belonging to the likes of Barack Obama, Elon Musk, Joe Biden, Wa...

http://youtu.be/0N5XSviYSv4 Dr. Anthony Fauci, the face of America’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, announced Monday that he will be stepping down as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) come December. Fauci, 81, will also vacate his position as President Biden’s chief medical adviser. “While I am moving on from my current positions, I am not retiring,” the infectious disease expert said in a statement released by the National Institutes of Health. “After more than 50 years of government service, I plan to pursue the next phase of my career while I still have so much energy and passion for my field."

http://youtu.be/12_2-lizaWc He’s the number two candidate. Dr. Mehmet Oz came in for some mockery after old tweets resurfaced Saturday from the former television host discussing bowel movements. The tweets were from Oz’s career as a television doctor, but appear to have been migrated to his US Senate campaign Twitter account. “What does your ‘poop’ say about your health? Learn here,” reads one tweet from April 2013 with a link to Oz’ web site — which has now been repurposed to accept campaign donations.

http://youtu.be/ZDPsHBCzQJw The “$70,000 CEO” Dan Price’s abrupt resignation from the helm of Gravity Payments this week came as he faced a new allegation of purportedly raping a woman, according to a bombshell report. Price, who made international headlines after he slashed his own pay to $70,000 while raising minimum wage at the company, resigned as CEO this week amid reports that he had grabbed a 26-year-old woman by the throat after she rejected his advances. But Price’s resignation came shortly after he was contacted for a response to a rape allegation, according to a report late Thursday. Police in Palm Springs, California have recommended that Price face a charge of rape of a drugged victim. The executive has not yet been charged in connection to the alleged incident. Kacie Mar...

http://youtu.be/G8iOXT95jBQ A Florida man died after he caught a bacterial infection from a “one in a billion” bad oyster, according to a report. The death was traced back to the Rustic Inn Crabhouse in Fort Lauderdale, where the man ate before he got sick with Vibrio, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported. The manager of the restaurant told the outlet as many as 100 dozen oysters were served the day the man ate there. “He had that one in a billion that was bad,” Gary Oreal reportedly said. “I feel horrible.” Read more at https://nypost.com/2022/08/17/florida-man-dies-eating-bad-oyster-at-rustic-inn-crabhouse/ #oyster #vibriopoisoning #florida The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, f...

http://youtu.be/Niq0aZW5zVM Restaurateurs are locked in an epic clash over outdoor dining with local officials in the Hamptons, whose inspectors increasingly have begun to enforce a return to pre-pandemic rules. Restaurants from Southampton to Montauk who claim they have depended on extra seating to survive during the pandemic gripe that they have been hit by fresh waves of “over-the-top” inspections and fines for exceeding capacity that are ruining their livelihoods during the critical money-making summer months. “They took off the brakes and they say they are making up for lost time,” one restaurateur told Side Dish, referring to the crackdown by local officials. “They want to take back the outdoor spaces or restrict them, but who do you think pays our tax revenue base?” Read mor...

http://youtu.be/O0JvnaI6vAQ The moderator who was about to interview Salman Rushdie when he was attacked and stabbed on stage by a crazed knife wielder has revealed the painful injuries he got while trying to defend the novelist. Henry Reese, 73, was barely able to open his blackened right eye as he spoke late Tuesday to the BBC about last Friday’s attack at the Chautauqua Institution, about 55 miles south of Buffalo. As well as deep bruising ringing the eye, he had several stitches above it from a knife wound suffered while holding down the legs of the man who stormed onstage and repeatedly stabbed Rushdie.

http://youtu.be/LiGaeZNDc7E Was the giant leap for mankind really just a giant lie? Conspiracy theorists think so. The theory that the Apollo 11 moon landing was a hoax by the US government lives on, despite video and photo evidence of Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong planting the country’s flag in space. While conspiracy theorists believe it would have been cheaper and easier to fake the landing than to really achieve it, there have been six manned moon landings, which took place from 1969 to 1972. Despite theories circulating about the first landing being fabricated, the others have not been exempt from disbelievers.

http://youtu.be/1pNeE1TRdS4 Pfizer’s go-to antiviral drug treatment, Paxlovid, is leaving a bad taste in people’s mouths. Literally. The Pfizer antiviral medication is used to treat people infected with COVID-19 — but as some patients have noted, the drug’s nasty taste remains in your mouth for as long as you take it. Patients who have taken the drug, which lowers the risk of a severe reaction to the deadly disease, described the unpleasant aftertaste as “a mouthful of dirty pennies and rotten soymilk” in a new Wall Street Journal report. Luckily, many of those affected have exchanged their coping methods online, such as consuming copious amounts of cinnamon, wolfing down pineapple or chugging smoothies, all to erase the taste that just won’t quit.

http://youtu.be/ul1-9LYnbp0 Minneapolis public school teachers of color will have additional job protections this upcoming school year under a new contract that would allow them to keep their jobs rather than white instructors with more seniority. The labor agreement’s intent was to protect “underrepresented populations” and keep the district’s predominantly white staff from becoming more homogenous, a report said Monday. About 60% of Minneapolis students are non-white compared to 16% of the district’s tenured teachers and 27% of its probationary teachers, according to a June Minneapolis Star Tribune report. The agreement states that teachers of color “may be exempted from district-wide layoff[s] outside seniority order,” according to Minnesota outlet Alpha News, which published langua...

http://youtu.be/V6Ffr8f2LHc Amid bombshell claims made in former Nickelodeon child star Jennette McCurdy’s memoir “I’m Glad My Mom Died,” a resurfaced video of her “Sam & Cat” co-star Ariana Grande has fans reeling about the way the young women were allegedly treated on the kids’ network. The now-viral clip — posted by a user who goes by the name Khalia — shows a then-teenage Grande, now 29, as kooky high schooler Cat Valentine on her show “Victorious” and its adjoining web series, “The Slap,” with the Twitter user calling out Nickelodeon for the “sexualized” tone. “Everyone keeps bringing Ariana Grande for stan drama against Jennette and idk why,” the tweet claimed. “Let’s not forget, Ariana is a victim herself … this is why she doesn’t talk about the role of Cat Valentine anymore....

http://youtu.be/NVmW4Y4ihj0 First lady Jill Biden tested positive for COVID-19 Tuesday on the last day of a family beach trip to South Carolina — just days after President Biden fully recovered from a weeks-long illness. The president’s wife, 71, is double-vaxxed and boosted, but returned a positive PCR test after developing “cold-like symptoms” Monday evening, according to a statement from her spokesperson, Elizabeth Alexander. The White House said that Joe Biden, 79, tested negative for COVID-19 Tuesday morning, but would wear a mask for 10 days when indoors and around others because he’s a close contact of his wife. Biden was scheduled to return to Washington Tuesday to sign the Inflation Reduction Act, which includes $437 billion in spending on mostly environmental programs, offset...

Correspondence between Dan Emmett, a major philanthropist, and Ann Carlson — a University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) climate professor — in 2017 revealed that the two worked with law firm Sher Edling to raise money for its efforts to sue oil companies over alleged climate change deception on behalf of state and local governments, according to the emails obtained by watchdog group Government Accountability & Oversight (GAO) and shared with Fox News Digital. In their emails, Emmett and Carlson discuss how Chuck Savitt, Sher Edli...
