http://youtu.be/a8zgnxrIEuI ISIS bride Shamima Begum apologized for joining the terror group and appealed to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to allow her to return to the UK, saying in her first live TV interview she’d “rather die” than go back to the jihadists. “I know there are some people, no matter what I say or what I do, they will not believe that I have changed, believe that I want to help,” she told ITV’s “Good Morning Britain.” “But for those who have even a drop of mercy and compassion and empathy in their hearts, I tell you from the bottom of my heart that I regret every, every decision I’ve made since I stepped into Syria and I will live with it for the rest of my life,” she said. Begum was just 15 when she and two classmates set off for Syria to join ISIS. She has sai...

http://youtu.be/Dy7PHm9tXfw Dramatic bodycam video captured the moment a Kansas firefighter rescued a little girl from a raging blaze that trapped several residents and injured six people, including two smoke-eaters. The Labor Day blaze at the Shores Apartments complex in Wichita erupted about 8 a.m. and rapidly spread, the footage posted on Facebook by the city fire department shows. A firefighter is seen running out of the inferno clutching the girl as heavy flames swirl in the fully engulfed building. “They opened up one of the doors below where the fire was burning and they found two children and a mom, that were kind of startled that we were there,” said Capt. Chad Cox, KSN-TV reported. “And they probably didn’t realize that there was actually a fire burning in the apartments abo...

http://youtu.be/lf-rJ1s3TUs A Florida nurse has pleaded guilty to threatening to kill Kamala Harris, claiming she was going to carry out the sick plot because the vice president wasn’t “actually black,” authorities said. Niviane Petit Phelps, 39, of Miami-Dade County, pleaded guilty Friday, admitting she sent her imprisoned husband six 30-second video clips of herself in February, claiming she accepted $53,000 for the “hit” to be completed within 50 days, court documents show. “Kamala Harris, you are going to die,” Phelps said in one clip, according to a complaint obtained by USA Today. “Your days are numbered already.” Phelps, who is black, told investigators she made the threats because Harris, 56, who was born to a Jamaican father and an Indian mother, wasn’t “actually black” and he...

http://youtu.be/lFwL1eggAn8 An Afghan sniper who worked alongside British special forces in the war-torn country was hunted down by the Taliban on Monday and executed in front of his family, according to a former UK army colonel. The victim, a father of five only identified as “N” to protect his surviving kin, reportedly was murdered after being one of the hundreds of Western allies left behind during a disastrous evacuation effort. “He [had] been in hiding because of the threat he faced,” British former Col. Ash Alexander-Cooper, who was once a senior adviser to the Afghan Ministry of Interior Affairs, told the Times of London. “But they found him, and he was shot multiple times, executed in front of his family,” said Alexander-Cooper, who served eight tours in Afghanistan, including ...

http://youtu.be/G1B_6LUNOT8 Gymnastics GOAT Simone Biles broke down in tears as she and other top US gymnasts McKayla Maroney, Maggie Nichols and Aly Raisman accused the FBI of turning a blind eye to sexual abuse perpetrated by sicko sports doctor Larry Nassar. The seven-time Olympian had to pause to regain her composure as she delivered heart-wrenching testimony in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee. “It feels like the FBI turned a blind eye to us,” Biles said. #LarryNassar #SimoneBiles #SexualAbuse 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/x1igu4FxYLo China’s most famous defector to America warned US intelligence agencies a coronavirus was spreading in Wuhan in November 2019 – six weeks before China admitted there was an outbreak. Wei Jingsheng, the father of China’s democracy movement, reveals in a new book, “What Really Happened in Wuhan,” that he first heard of a mysterious new virus at the time of the World Military Games in Wuhan in October 2019. Highly alarmed, the former Chinese Communist Party insider, whose defection to the United States in 1997 made global news, alerted intelligence agencies, a US politician with links to the president and Chinese human rights activist Dimon Liu.

http://youtu.be/cMlZMUhNxcs Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has vowed to keep spending on climate change in President Biden’s $3.5 trillion budget despite opposition from a key Democratic colleague, Sen. Joe Manchin, the key swing vote. Schumer (D-NY) said Monday that the Democrats are doing “everything” they can to help Biden meet his goal of curbing US carbon emissions 50 percent by 2030 compared to 2005 levels. “The bottom line for all of us is: We can’t let this moment pass us by,” Schumer said at an event hosted by the environmental groups League of Conservation Voters and Climate Power, Politico reported. “The Senate will act in a way that’s commensurate with the magnitude of the climate crisis,” he said. But the bill — which, along with funds to fight climate change, al...

http://youtu.be/anQbL6f3cPI Secretary of State Antony Blinken was briefly left speechless Monday after a House Republican lawmaker asked whether he had been interviewed by the FBI in connection with Hunter Biden or dealings involving Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings. Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) ambushed Blinken near the end of his five-minute question period during a marathon House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on the recent US withdrawal from Afghanistan. #AntonyBlinken #HunterBiden #ScottPerry 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/lGg_IMP5xIU An Illinois Subway sandwich shop worker bravely fought back against an armed robber, hitting him with his own gun — just to get suspended after posting now-viral leaked footage of her heroism, she said. Araceli Sotelo was caught on camera on Sept. 5 as she screamed for help and begged a hooded robber to stop hitting her while she worked alone at a branch in Rockford. #Subway #Robber #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/xG15VpAg0K8 So the Federal Election Commission has decided Twitter violated no election laws when it censored the New York Post’s reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop ahead of the 2020 election. Of course, the news was leaked to the New York Times — likely by a Democratic member of the FEC staff — so that it could be treated with maximum scorn. The Times report sneeringly begins that The Post’s article was “unsubstantiated,” which is bull. The Biden team never denied that the laptop is real, and Hunter Biden later told CBS, coyly, that the laptop “could be” his. People involved in the emails we published, including Tony Bobulinski, have confirmed the content. Our article is “unsubstantiated” because the Times and other outlets don’t want to actually report on it themselve...

http://youtu.be/1iuFWWcV4l8 A 22-year-old Long Island woman has gone missing under mysterious circumstances during a cross-country road trip with her boyfriend — and her family is seeking the public’s help in finding her. Gabby Petito was last known to be in Wyoming’s Grand Teton National Park in late August after embarking on the tour with her boyfriend — identified on social media as Brian Laundrie — the month before, Newsday reported. Authorities said the vehicle the couple was traveling in, a white 2012 Ford Transit van with Florida plates, has been recovered, according to the outlet. Laundrie, who has returned to his Florida home, has hired an attorney and has refused to cooperate with authorities, the Daily Mail reported, citing her family. #LongIsland #Disappearance #NewYorkPos...

http://youtu.be/SyCB1Ck7NEQ Apple has reportedly fired Ashley Gjøvik, a senior engineering program manager, for allegedly leaking private company information. Gjøvik, who’s been at the company since 2015, told The Verge that she learned Thursday her employment at Apple was being terminated, effective Friday. The firing comes months after she went public with accusations of harassment, sexism and intimidation at Apple, claiming that senior employees kept a whiteboard tally of votes on ways to make her “life a living hell,” and weeks after she filed formal complaints with federal regulators. Gjøvik has also said she was regularly excluded from important emails, and that some bosses would peer-pressure employees into drinking alcohol during work hours. Gjøvik first raised concerns in Ma...

http://youtu.be/j-jK_b1sEZ0 Former President Donald Trump’s political organization shared a statement Wednesday from the mother of one of the Marines who died in last month’s ISIS terror attack in Afghanistan — in which the woman implored Trump to seek the presidency again in 2024. “President Trump has to run,” said Kathy McCollum, whose son Rylee was one of 13 US service members killed Aug. 26 by a suicide bomber outside the Abbey Gate at Hamid Karzai International Airport, in a message disseminated by Trump’s Save America PAC. #Trump #Marine #Afghanistan 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/lK6cqA1J7Is House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who recently clashed with Democratic moderates over the size of the $3.5 trillion spending bill, is now risking a fight with leftists in her chamber — indicating on Wednesday that she has not ruled out a pared down bill in the face of opposition from Sen. Joe Manchin. “This is sort of a compressed challenge because people need help right away, and we will get the job done. … I don’t know what the number will be, we are marking at $3.5 [trillion]],” Pelosi (D-Calif.) told reporters. “We’re not going above that.” Her comments come shortly after reports emerged that the moderate Manchin (D-WV) told White House officials and congressional leaders that he is open to a $1.5 trillion package, far lower than what progressives have advoca...

http://youtu.be/0oCUe4QZzBk President Biden is firing all military academy board members appointed by former President Donald Trump — regardless of their qualifications — in a purge drawing stiff pushback because their terms were supposed to last three years. Six presidential appointees on each academy board — 18 people in total — were told to resign by 6 p.m. Wednesday or be fired. “I think this complete purge shows that the administration is hellbent on the woke mob controlling or having input into military education. Otherwise, why do it?” said one of the board members, who pointed out that Trump didn’t perform a similar purge. “This is why this is such a big deal: historically it has never been done. ‘Unprecedented’ is a word you could use here,” the board member said. #President...

http://youtu.be/nYIo84OExm4 Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger believes the atmosphere around this year’s gubernatorial recall election is “exactly the same” as it was in 2003 — when the acclaimed action movie star became the first person in state history to win a gubernatorial race in a recall election. Next week, Gov. Gavin Newsom faces a recall election that was brought on by heavy criticism of his coronavirus pandemic measures, including stay-at-home orders and mask mandates. If more than half of voters support his recall, the Democrat will be removed from office and replaced by the top-polling candidate among his potential replacements. The last California governor to be recalled was Democrat Gray Davis in 2003. Schwarzenegger, a Republican, made history by replacing him...

Twenty years later, the group gathered at the department training center in New York to share their memories. “We’re all a family in a different way than anybody else’s,” firefighter Josephine Smith told The Post. “We’ve all lost our parents on 9/11, and we’ve fulfilled their footsteps in carrying out their legacies.” #9/11 #FDNY #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/62bihdxe_vk It was a real-life “Twister” moment. Mark Kobylinski inadvertently created a chilling home-movie version of the 1996 cult film when an EF-3 tornado ripped through Mullica Hill, NJ, last week, making good on Hurricane Ida’s promise to wreak havoc on the northeast US. The resulting now-viral video, originally posted in its full 3-minute form on Facebook, has racked up 1.2 million views and more than 10,000 likes as of Wednesday. “Long video but shows the Mullica Hill tornado [making a] direct hit on our home,” Kobylinski, 51, captioned the clip of an ominous cloud approaching — and then thrashing — his home. “Incredible damage. Our neighborhood has been devastated but everyone is safe!” Pitman, NJ, resident Kobylinski sought refuge with the family dog in the ...

http://youtu.be/uIrvPF9bQeY Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is being criticized for her use of the term “menstruating persons” as she lashed out at Texas Gov. Greg Abbott over his new six-week abortion ban. The far-left New York congresswoman called Abbott “deeply ignorant” on Tuesday over the Lone Star State’s new law that prohibits almost all abortions after the six-week mark — including pregnancies that are the result of rape or incest. “I don’t know if he is familiar with a menstruating person’s body. In fact, I do know that he’s not familiar with a female or menstruating person’s body because if he did, he would know that you don’t have six weeks,” Ocasio-Cortez told CNN’s Anderson Cooper. “I’m sorry we have to break down Biology 101 on national television, but in case no one has in...

Shana Chappell’s son Kareem Nikoui was one of 13 US service members — 11 of them Marines — killed in the bomb blast at the Abbey Gate of Hamid Karzai International Airport on Aug. 26. She addressed Trump on her Facebook page Sept. 2, writing, “I would love if some how [sic] my President ( you Mr. Trump) could be present as i [sic] lay my Beautiful baby boy Lance Cpl.

http://youtu.be/35gAwJUAfu4 Robert F. Kennedy’s widow said on Tuesday she opposes the release of his murderer, Sirhan Sirhan, who has been recommended for parole. “Bobby believed that we should work to ’tame human savagery and calm the lives of the world,’” 93-year-old Ethel Kennedy said in a statement. “He wanted to end the war in Vietnam and bring people together to build a better, stronger country. More than anything, he wanted to be a good father and loving husband. “Our family and our country suffered an unspeakable loss due to the inhumanity of one man. We believe in the gentleness that spared his life, but in taming his act of violence, he should not have the opportunity to terrorize again. “He should not be paroled,” Ethel Kennedy concluded. #RFK #RobertFKennedy #EthelKennedy...

http://youtu.be/6cuMPvJb618 Food Network is coming out swinging against one of its own after a viral Twitter war sparked by the US Supreme Court’s 5-4 vote to deny an emergency appeal filed by abortion providers in an attempt to block a Texas abortion bill that went into effect the same day. Josh Denny — self-proclaimed “cancelled” comedian, podcaster and TV host — took to Twitter to respond to Wednesday’s news that effectively outlaws abortion in the state. #FoodNetwork #Abortion #JoshDenny The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, fashion, and more.
