http://youtu.be/3o4i_AWrkyM The two Florida deputies who committed suicide within days of each other, leaving their 1-month-old son an orphan, had both been honored for saving people’s lives, according to reports. St. Lucie County Deputy Clayton Osteen died Jan. 2 and Deputy Victoria Pacheco took her life “in the wake of Deputy Osteen’s death,” Sheriff Ken Mascara said in a statement this week.

http://youtu.be/A0DjavMaIZM The nation’s two largest retailers jacked up the price of an on-demand rapid COVID-19 test after a 100-day agreement with the White House to sell it at cost expired. Walmart increased the price of BinaxNOW’s antigen self-test kits to $20, while Kroger was selling them for $24 in its nearly 3,000 US grocery stores, as demand continued to outpace supply amid the surge of the Omicron variant soared across the country, according to Fox Business. The large price jumps followed the lapse of the Biden administration’s Sept. 9 deal with manufacturer Abbott Laboratories to provide them for $14. “The program ended in mid-December, and while other retailers increased prices in mid-December, Walmart held the $14.00 through the holidays before increasing the price,” a Wa...

http://youtu.be/0lu5YS9tNcw President Biden blasted former President Donald Trump as a threat to democracy and rallied Democrats to force a federal election bill through the Senate Thursday at an event marking the anniversary of the Capitol riot. Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris took turns slamming the rioters while pushing the sweeping legislation during remarks in the Capitol’s Statuary Hall, which is located between the building’s central Rotunda and House chamber. “Our darkest days can lead to light and hope,” the president said. “[From] Pearl Harbor came triumph over the forces of fascism. From the brutality of Bloody Sunday on the Edmund Pettus Bridge came historic voting rights legislation. Now let’s step up, write the next chapter in American history, where January 6 mar...

http://youtu.be/N19tn06lP3o Attorney General Merrick Garland said Wednesday that the Justice Department isn’t done bringing charges against people involved in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot that disrupted congressional certification of the 2020 election, vowing “the actions we have taken thus far will not be our last.” In a rare public address on the eve of the first anniversary of the violence, Garland said that “more than 725” people have been arrested and charged with crimes and added that the feds are looking for other culprits. “Those involved must be held accountable. There is no higher priority for us at the Department of Justice,” said the attorney general, who went on to say pointedly that he “remains committed to holding all January 6th perpetrators at any level accountable under law...

http://youtu.be/jSuORNOrNtU An angry Floridian has a message for their snowbird neighbors: If you’re woke, go back to New York. A number of cars with New York license plates parked on Palm Beach streets received notices on their windows over the weekend urging them to leave if they lean left politically, police said. “If you are one of those ‘woke’ people — leave Florida. You will be happier elsewhere, as will we,” reads the missive, typed in all capital letters. The threatening letters were found on cars parked along Sunrise Avenue, Bradley Place and Seaview Avenue in the ritzy seaside enclave about an hour north of Fort Lauderdale that’s long been a beloved locale for New Yorkers who head south for the winter. #Florida #NewYork #Woke The New York Post is your source for breakin...

http://youtu.be/QQFmiRGE2Ms Ghislaine Maxwell could file for a mistrial after a juror revealed he used his own experience of childhood sexual abuse to sway deliberations — and cannot remember if he revealed his past during jury selection, according to reports. Juror Scotty David, using only his first and middle names, admitted to Reuters that he only opened up about his own abuse during deliberations when others questioned the credibility of two of the women testifying against Jeffrey Epstein’s madam. He earlier told the Independent that the room went silent when he detailed his past, telling them that — like the witnesses — he could only remember some of the details. He also told jurors how he’d waited until high school before telling anyone about his abuse, in an effort to justify w...

http://youtu.be/286qR51e-T8 He had the corona-iris. A 9-year-old UK boy named Zac Morey nearly lost his sight after contracting “COVID-eye,” an alleged side effect of the coronavirus. “His eye looked like it was going to explode,” the boy’s mom, Angela, told SWNS of the unfortunate COVID complication. The ocular calamity reportedly began after the Bristol, England, native and her five children tested positive for the disease on Dec. 16. Her son Zac reportedly experienced flu-like symptoms and spent his quarantine at home playing computer games. Despite testing negative at the doctor’s office on Dec. 22, the fifth grader reportedly developed pain in his left eye. Initially thinking it was caused by his constant screen time, Angela realized something was awry after the peeper ballooned ...

http://youtu.be/MmwAeWPp5EY A federal jury found Thernaos founder Elizabeth Holmes guilty of fraud on Monday. Holmes was unanimously found guilty of three counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. She was found not guilty of four more charges and the jury could not reach a decision on three additional fraud charges. She faces up to 20 years in prison for each charge, though it’s likely they would be served concurrently. A sentencing date hasn’t been given and it’s not clear if she will be placed into custody immediately in the meantime. Court watchers have said it’s likely Holmes will appeal. #ElizabethHolmes #Theranos #Guilty The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, cul...

http://youtu.be/12kVE54R9kw The woman who was fatally shot with her dog inside a Brooklyn smoke shop may not have been the intended target, officials said. Jennifer Ynoa, 36, was inside the Salim Smoke Shop on DeKalb Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant with her pit bull around 9:45 p.m. when the suspect got out of a red car, crossed the street, walked inside, and opened fire – striking Ynoa and her pup, before “calmly” walking back to his ride, police said. “He then gets in the car and drives away,” a police official told The Post. “The dog comes running out and collapses on the ground and then the lady comes out and collapses on the ground. 911 calls start coming in about shots fired.” Ynoa, who lived about two blocks from the store near Franklin Avenue, was taken to the Brooklyn Hospital...

http://youtu.be/DAOxILj4b6A Ghislaine Maxwell’s husband told her he’d dumped her for a yoga teacher during a “confrontational” phone call while she was in solitary confinement, according to a report. The Post first revealed last month how Scott Borgerson, 46, had been spotted kissing mom of two Kris McGinn during regular outings near his $3.9 million New England estate — while notably skipping every day of his wife’s trial that led to her conviction on sex-trafficking charges last week. A close friend of Maxwell told the Mail on Sunday that tech entrepreneur Borgerson dumped the notorious madam during a phone call to her in the Metropolitan Detention Center, the Brooklyn lockup where she’s being housed under solitary confinement. “There was a dramatic phone call between them, while she...

http://youtu.be/DQlyCc_HWN0 A self-proclaimed “millionaire” from Utah allegedly kidnapped a woman and held her captive for weeks in his home, where he repeatedly beat her and carved the number 6 into her hand to represent the woman’s six-month deadline to “love him or be killed.” Ramone Marcio Martinez, 39, of Salt Lake City, was arrested Dec. 29 and charged with aggravated kidnapping and assault, according to local reports. The victim, whose identity was not revealed, managed to escape with a single text message to her friend saying she was being held captive. The friend told police, which prompted the investigation. “The victim had texted him begging for help and that she was scared for her life,” according to a police booking affidavit, obtained by ABC 4. Police responded to Martin...

The investigation involves “serious allegations involving potential juvenile victims,” and “detectives assigned to the Child Exploitation Squad of the Major Crimes Bureau are leading this investigation,” the Fairfax County Police Department told the outlet.

http://youtu.be/vuVM2q5-zeM The scheduled August 2024 parole for one of two men convicted in the murder of Michael Jordan’s father nearly three decades ago has been canceled, a North Carolina state panel said Tuesday. The state Post-Release Supervision and Parole Commission had announced in 2020 that Larry M. Demery would be released as part of an agreement in which he would take part in a scholastic and vocational program designed to prepare him for life outside prison. The initial release date was August 2023, but it was later pushed back by 12 months. The commission said Tuesday in a news release that Demery’s “agreement has been terminated” effective immediately, giving no reason. The release said that Demery, who is serving a life sentence for the first-degree murder of James Jorda...

http://youtu.be/duqj34C5xHo Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted on Wednesday evening of grooming underage girls for Jeffrey Epstein to abuse — capping a stunning fall from grace for the British socialite who now faces decades behind bars for sex-trafficking. Maxwell, 60, showed no emotion as she was hauled out of federal court in Lower Manhattan after the reading of the unanimous verdict.

http://youtu.be/t0vFQrICqqs Becoming infected with the Omicron variant of COVID-19 could boost immunity against the earlier Delta strain, according to a new study from South Africa. In the small study, scientists at the Africa Health Research Institute in Durban found that people who were infected with Omicron — particularly those who were vaccinated — developed enhanced immunity to Delta. The research, which has not yet been peer-reviewed, involved 15 vaccinated and unvaccinated Omicron patients in South Africa, according to Bloomberg News, which noted that two were excluded because they didn’t detectably neutralize Omicron. The authors, led by Alex Sigal and Khadija Khan, found that while the neutralization of Omicron increased 14-fold over 14 days after the enrollment, there also wa...

During the interview on CBS News’ “Face the Nation,” host Margaret Brennan asked her about the one national security threat that keeps her up at night worrying. ​ “​Frankly, one of them is our democracy.
