http://youtu.be/Eh8gUSAvDeM Slim 400, a rising star in the West Coast hip-hop scene, has died of a fatal gunshot wound in California. He was 33. The Compton-raised rapper was gunned down Wednesday night in Inglewood city south of Los Angeles, law enforcement sources confirmed to TMZ. No details about what ignited the deadly encounter — or how many suspects were involved — have been released. Popular hip-hop podcast “No Jumper” was the first to report Slim 400’s passing via a cryptic Twitter post, and disturbing fan-shot videos of the taped-off crime scene are already making the rounds on YouTube. Meanwhile, admirers promptly paid online respects — with some hailing Slim 400 as a trailblazer in his community. #Slim400 #Death #NewYorkPost The New York Post is your source for breaking n...

http://youtu.be/5Ub4XqLgZGo Kyle Rittenhouse said he wants a showdown with President Biden to put him right for branding the teen a “white supremacist.” The 18-year-old cleared Kenosha gunman was asked by conservative commentator Glenn Beck in a nearly hour-long interview if the commander-in-chief had ever called him “to apologize.” “He hasn’t,” Rittenhouse told Beck in his show on The Blaze. “I would like to sit down with the president and have a conversation with him and tell him the facts of what happened,” insisted the teen. Biden had used a photo of Rittenhouse brandishing the AR-15 he used to defend himself at Wisconsin Black Lives Matter riots in August last year in a presidential campaign push the following month. “There’s no other way to put it: the President of the United S...

http://youtu.be/guGFHmcAJAU State Attorney General Letitia James dropped out of the race for governor on Thursday and said she’ll instead seek a second term as New York’s chief law-enforcement official. “I have come to the conclusion that I must continue my work as attorney general,” James said in a prepared statement. “There are a number of important investigations and cases that are underway, and I intend to finish the job. I am running for re-election to complete the work New Yorkers elected me to do.” The move followed heavy criticism from former Gov. Andrew Cuomo that James’ investigation of sexual harassment allegations against him was politically motivated. Cuomo resigned in August, one week after James — using outside investigators — released a report that accused him of haras...

http://youtu.be/6cjcBzplAnM Josh Duggar is staring down 20 years in prison after an Arkansas jury on Thursday found him guilty of receiving and possessing child porn. Duggar was found guilty after seven hours of deliberation following a six-day trial, according to NBC’s Fayetteville station KNWA. He is also expected to have to pay fines of up to $250,000 for each charge. TLC canceled the Duggar family’s show, “19 Kids and Counting,” after reports surfaced that Josh Duggar had molested five girls, including his sisters, when he was a minor. TLC then canceled a spin-off after Duggar was arrested over child porn in April this year. The defense argued that someone else had downloaded the child porn that was discovered on Duggar’s work computer, according to the Associated Press. #JoshDu...

http://youtu.be/aNo_5YMZhcE A stunning new photo shows pedophile Jeffrey Epstein lounging with alleged madam Ghislaine Maxwell in what appears to be Queen Elizabeth II’s private Scottish getaway. The undated image — part of a trove of evidence recovered from Epstein’s properties and presented this week at Maxwell’s sex-trafficking trial — is believed to be from 1999, when the pair were invited to the Queen’s Balmoral estate by disgraced son Prince Andrew, the BBC said. It shows the casually dressed pair with slight smiles and in younger days, with media heiress Maxwell leaning against her long-term lover, with her right arm affectionately resting on his legs. The pair posed in what appears to be the exact spot where other images show Britain’s 95-year-old monarch smiling and eating mea...

http://youtu.be/laSFqxh-hdE One of Ghislaine Maxwell’s accusers claimed she once saw a photo of the British socialite “nude and pregnant” inside of Jeffrey Epstein’s Florida mansion. The woman, who testified using only her first name, Carolyn, was asked by defense attorneys at Maxwell’s federal sex-trafficking trial in Manhattan about statements she’d previously made to prosecutors. “One of your memories about Ms. Maxwell is you claim that you saw a photograph of her in Epstein’s house, pregnant. Correct?” lawyer Jeffrey Pagliuca asked Tuesday, referring to Epstein’s Palm Beach estate. “Nude and pregnant laying on the –” Carolyn began to respond — at which point Pagliuca interjected, “And pregnant.” “Yes. There was multiple pictures, nude photos,” the witness replied after a pause. #...

http://youtu.be/gtQQ_4pJjkY The family of Laci Peterson — who was brutally murdered by her husband, Scott Peterson, at eight months pregnant — faced her killer for the first time in almost 20 years during his resentencing to life in prison without parole Wednesday, saying he is the one who deserved to die. Scott Peterson was back in court over the 2002 slayings of his wife and unborn son after the California Supreme Court overturned his death penalty sentence last year. “Laci’s dead, Scott, because she loved you, and she trusted you,” her mother, Sharon Rocha, said on the stand. Wednesday’s hearing followed the high court’s ruling that the jury wasn’t correctly screened for opinions on capital punishment when convicting Peterson. Judge Anne-Christine Massullo resentenced Peterson to li...

http://youtu.be/Pm6BLo9ERkA Mayor Bill de Blasio admitted Wednesday that he erred while interacting with the New York media the past eight years, conceding he often acted in an “off-putting” manner while pleading his case to reporters. “I’ll be confessional and say, I think when there’s something wrong, you can’t say, ‘Oh, it’s somebody else,’ right,” the often combative mayor said. “I mean, there’s something wrong and it has been something wrong in my relationship with the media. That’s obviously, to some extent, on me,” he said during a virtual press conference, when asked if he holds any regrets about his relationship with journalists during his time in office. “As always, it takes two to tango, but that’s got to be to some extent on me.” The lame-duck mayor, who often bristles at ...

http://youtu.be/PhMjfsP7opo Kyle Rittenhouse, 18, told a news outlet in a recent interview, “F—k you, LeBron” after the basketball star mocked his tearful testimony on Twitter, suggesting that the emotional display was an act, according to a news report. The teen was acquitted last month on all counts including homicide for using an AR-15-style rifle in self-defense to fatally shoot two men and wound another amid protests and riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in 2020. Rittenhouse, then 17, was legally allowed to possess the weapon under Wisconsin law. He took the witness stand and sobbed as he recalled the night of the shooting, prompting the judge to call a recess. The Los Angeles Laker fired off a snarky tweet on Nov. 10. “What tears????? I didn’t see one. Man knock it off! That boy ate s...

http://youtu.be/LJS4znU5QIU The US Capitol Police inspector general told lawmakers Tuesday that the department has not made needed changes in the aftermath of the deadly riot by Trump supporters on Jan. 6. Michael Bolton testified at an oversight hearing of the Senate Rules Committee that the Capitol Police “still lacks the overall training infrastructure to meet the needs of the department, the level of intelligence gathering and expertise needed, and an overall cultural change needed to move the department into a protective agency as opposed to a traditional police department.” Bolton testified 11 months and one day after the riot, which led to the deaths of five people — including Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick — and nearly eight months after he issued the first in a series of...

http://youtu.be/8ElvNzrhnXE The White House has been secretly begging news organizations to give “favorable” coverage to President Biden rather than focusing on his failings, according to a report. The administration is “not happy” with the unflattering headlines and coverage of the supply-chain disaster and handling of the economy — and so “has been working behind the scenes trying to reshape coverage in its favor,” CNN’s Reliable Sources said. Senior White House and administration officials “have been briefing major newsrooms over the past week,” a source told the outlet’s media reporter Oliver Darcy. The meetings have been led by a trio of administration officials: National Economic Council deputy directors David Kamin and Bharat Ramamurti, as well as ports envoy John Porcari, Darcy...

http://youtu.be/8VWuasRkz3c Ghislaine Maxwell was once photographed rubbing Jeffrey Epstein’s feet on what appears to be his private jet — with her breasts spilling out of her skimpy top, according to new evidence released by federal prosecutors Wednesday. The raunchy photos — entered into evidence on Tuesday — were recovered during an FBI raid at Epstein’s Upper East Side mansion in 2019, FBI analyst Kimberly Meder testified. Two of the photos show Maxwell planting a kiss on Epstein’s cheek, including one that shows them in front of a beach and another on what appears to be a European street. Other snaps show Epstein with his arm around Maxwell. One shows him holding her while he’s wearing what appears to be a red skiing outfit and another shows him with his arm wrapped around her w...

http://youtu.be/QzjBO-kpM7U A woman was allegedly forced to dig her own grave on a beach before being gunned down and buried. Amanda Albach, 21, was dug up by cops after her killer reportedly confessed to murdering her after he was accused of dealing drugs. Albach was found buried on the beach of Irapiruba Norte de Laguna, in the southern Brazilian state of Santa Catarina, on Friday. The day before, two men and a woman had been arrested and one of the suspects had revealed to the police where the body was buried. The suspect also reportedly confessed to them having killed the victim with two gunshots after having forced her to dig her own grave in the killing that took place on Nov. 15. Albach was last seen the day before when she attended a party in the nearby city of Florianopolis...

http://youtu.be/U3AURe0VPTs Skilyr Hicks, a former contestant on “America’s Got Talent,” was found dead at a friend’s home in South Carolina on Monday, a report said. She was 23 years old. “She will live on through her music,” Hicks’ mother, Jodi, told TMZ, which broke the news of the death. It wasn’t immediately clear how Hicks died. The mother told the outlet that her daughter suffered from substance abuse and mental health issues. Hicks performed a song she wrote on Season 8 of NBC’s talent show competition in 2013 when she was just 14 years old. She made it onto the second round, then was eliminated before the show’s live rounds. Hicks leaves behind her mother and four siblings. #AmericasGotTalent #SkilyrHicks #Death The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news abou...

http://youtu.be/10SXI0cQx8g Accused Michigan high-school shooter Ethan Crumbley was given a court-appointed lawyer — while his parents hired their own pricey private legal team to battle the lesser charges against them, a new report says. James and Jennifer Crumbley, who were charged with involuntary manslaughter as accessories in their 15-year-old son’s first-degree murder case, have hired a team that includes Shannon Smith, who represented disgraced USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar, The Independent reported. Their son, on the other hand, is being represented by court-appointed lawyer Paulette Michel Loftin, a little-known defense attorney from the Detroit suburb of Rochester.

http://youtu.be/vIusyV4HbWk Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene slammed what she called the “outrageous” treatment of Capitol riot defendants in Washington, DC’s main jail Tuesday and urged lawmakers on the House select committee investigating the events of Jan. 6 to see the facility for themselves. During a press conference with fellow Republicans Matt Gaetz of Florida, Louie Gohmert of Texas and Paul Gosar of Arizona, Greene (R-Ga.) claimed inmates are being physically abused, forced to read works of critical race theory, and mocked “for the color of their skin.” “The Jan. 6 defendants are being treated differently on a whole ‘nother level,” Greene told reporters. “They have been beaten by the guards. They are called white supremacists. They are denied religious services, haircuts, shaving, t...

http://youtu.be/EshaKDeWUkM A German man killed his wife and three young daughters before taking his own life after he was busted creating a fake COVID vaccine card, authorities said Tuesday. The man, only identified as Devid R, was found fatally shot alongside his wife and their three girls inside their home in Koenigs Wusterhausen, south of Berlin, on Saturday. Prosecutors said the 40-year-old man left behind a suicide note that revealed he feared his daughters — ages 4, 8 and 10 — would be taken away from him after the forgery was discovered. #VaccineCard #Germany #NewYorkPost 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/QuOxTTWcnK0 Brooke Shields has slammed Barbara Walters over a 1981 interview in which the veteran journalist asked the then-15-year-old a series of invasive questions about her personal life. Shields — now 56 — reflected on the intense sit-down on Monday, bluntly stating: “It’s practically criminal. It’s not journalism.” The interview with Walters took place just months after the teenage Shields starred in a controversial Calvin Klein campaign, which featured the provocative slogan: “You want to know what comes between me and my Calvins? Nothing.” #BrookeShields #BarbaraWalters #NewYorkPost 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/OxUEtYuGZc0 Joe Buck thinks he did the best he could, no matter what Giants fans say. The Fox play-by-play man defended his call of David Tyree’s helmet catch — which the Giants fan base has long contended to be underwhelming — on Monday night’s “Manningcast.” It was a fitting topic of conversation given the man who threw the pass — Eli Manning — was one of the hosts, while the team he threw it against — the Patriots — were playing on “Monday Night Football.” “When you’re up there and you know you’re doing the game for 100 million people, you’ve to be really sure,” Buck said of the famous Super Bowl XLII play that saved the Giants’ game-winning drive in the 17-14 victory over an undefeated Patriots juggernaut. #JoeBuck #HelmetCatch #NewYorkPostSports The New York Post ...

http://youtu.be/GpjWeQP1hlA An elderly Brooklyn couple was booted from an American Airlines flight because they refused to place a bag containing their sacred prayer shawl on the floor, according to a lawsuit. Roberto and Elana Birman were heading home from Miami on Flight 322 in August when the “humiliating” incident unfolded, they told The Post. Roberto, 76, and Elana, 71, brought only a briefcase, a purse and his Tallit bag — a small, 8.5 inch-by-8.5-inch, clear plastic carrier for Roberto’s prayer book and shawl — onboard. They sat in aisle seats across from each other. A flight attendant began checking overhead bins ahead of take off, pulled the Tallit bag from the overhead bin, and asked, “Whose is this?” When Roberto claimed it, she allegedly threw the bag on his lap and said i...

http://youtu.be/Xl4IPob0RhU A Detroit artist has been identified as the person suspected of helping accused Michigan high school shooter Ethan Crumbley‘s parents hide from cops, according to a report Sunday. Andrzej Sikora, 65, allegedly allowed James and Jennifer Crumbley to hide out in the basement of an art studio in the Motor City, WJBK-TV said in a report. “They didn’t break in,” Detroit Police Chief James White said. “Somebody let them in.” Sikora has not been charged in the case, but authorities believe he gave the Crumbleys sanctuary as cops launched a manhunt for the couple. The artist’s lawyer, Clarence Dass, told WBK that his client “voluntarily contacted police after the Crumbleys were arrested and charged. “He maintains his innocence throughout this process and is fully ...

http://youtu.be/lOudGAntDN0 The parents of Michigan school shooter Ethan Crumbley have shown “no remorse” since being charged in connection with their teen’s slaughter of four students at school last week, a law-enforcement official says. James and Jennifer Crumbley have appeared “sullen” in their separated sections of the Oakland County jail, Sheriff Michael Bouchard told MSNBC on Saturday. “They’re not talking much to us,” Bouchard said. “We’ve not seen any remorse.” The parents were apprehended Saturday hiding out in an art studio in Detroit. They were arrested for allegedly giving their son access to the newly bought 9mm handgun he used in his slay spree while also knowing there were deeply troubling warning signs about his behavior. The couple is accused of withholding such infor...

http://youtu.be/O3FT-0FypeM A top Sony executive has been fired after he was allegedly caught in an amateur pedophilia sting operation posted on YouTube. George Cacioppo — the senior vice president from the team behind PlayStation — allegedly tried to arrange a meeting with a 15-year-old boy, according to a video posted by the YouTube channel People v.

http://youtu.be/y63tTPYOKW0 Americans in some states could be in line to receive an extra stimulus check worth up to $2,000 if they return to the workplace. The governors of Arizona and Kentucky were among lawmakers to launch initiatives — months before federal unemployment assistance payments ended on Sept. 6. Republican Doug Ducey of Arizona proposed the Back to Work Plan in May. Americans who landed a full-time job would receive a one-time stimulus check of $2,000, while there was a $1,000 cash payment for people who scored part-time positions. Ducey wanted to get as many people as possible in the state to rejoin the workforce by Labor Day — Sept. 6, KOLD 13 reports. Introducing the scheme, he said: “With ample supplies of the COVID-19 vaccine on hand and millions of Arizonans vac...

http://youtu.be/Kp4Vmb8YSyE Mayor Bill de Blasio on Monday announced a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for all private businesses in New York City — one that will take effect days before he leaves office and with the city already recording among the highest vaccination rates and lowest infection rates in the nation. De Blasio, whose mayoralty ends at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve, declared making vaccines compulsory for private businesses a “preemptive strike” against an expected surge in COVID infections this winter amid the emergence of the Omicron variant. “We’re going to announce a first-in-the-nation measure,” de Blasio said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” Hizzoner added that the mandate is aimed at “maximizing vaccination quickly, so we can get ahead of Omicron and all the other cha...
