http://youtu.be/xFhKDy4zBWI Charlie Watts, legendary drummer for the Rolling Stones who provided the badass bottom line on classics such as “Sympathy for the Devil” and “Gimme Shelter,” has died “peacefully” in the UK. He was 80. Watts’ publicist Bernard Doherty confirmed news of the rock icon’s passing on Tuesday. The English drummer stepped down from his role at the beginning of this month following an undisclosed medical procedure, just before the band was scheduled to relaunch a tour postponed by the pandemic. Steve Jordan, drummer of Keith Richards’ group the X-Pensive Winos, was chosen to replace him for the Stones’ upcoming show dates. A spokesperson for the band released a statement on Tuesday afternoon: “It is with immense sadness that we announce the death of our beloved Char...

http://youtu.be/Q-G46aMNJpg Former Giants head coach Tom Coughlin revealed Tuesday that his wife, Judy, was diagnosed with an incurable brain disorder that has cost her almost all ability to speak and move. “As so many of you are gearing up for another NFL season, I will be sitting far from the sidelines, at the bedside and holding the hand of my biggest supporter, my beloved wife, the mother of our children and a grandmother to our grandchildren,” Coughlin wrote in an essay published in the New York Times. Coughlin said he has been the primary caregiver for his wife, who in 2020 was diagnosed with progressive supranuclear palsy after first showing symptoms four years ago. #TomCoughlin #NYGiants #NewYorkPost The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, spor...

http://youtu.be/BJ88yoscxd0 Disgraced former Gov. Andrew Cuomo was stripped of his Emmy Award on Tuesday due to sexual harassment allegations substantiated in the state attorney general’s probe that delivered the death knell to his gubernatorial reign. “The International Academy announced today that in light of the New York Attorney General’s report, and Andrew Cuomo subsequent resignation as governor, it is rescinding his special 2020 international Emmy Award,” reads a statement from the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. “His name and any reference to his receiving the award will be eliminated from International Academy material going forward.” Cuomo was bestowed the award in November 2020 for his COVID-19 pandemic press briefings.The scandal-scarred governor, w...

http://youtu.be/rhlkUXZGmvk Kathy Hochul was sworn in as the 57th governor of New York at midnight Tuesday — making history as the first woman to be the state’s chief executive. The 62-year-old longtime public servant was sworn in by Chief Judge Janet DiFiore at a private ceremony in the state Capitol building. “Honored to be officially sworn in as New York’s 57th Governor,” Hochul tweeted. “Looking forward to the full swearing-in ceremony with my family later this morning, and addressing the people of New York later today.” Hochul, a Buffalo native, succeeds disgraced former Gov. Andrew Cuomo after serving under him as lieutenant governor since 2015. Cuomo resigned in the wake of numerous sexual harassment allegations after more than a decade in control in Albany. Hochul will later ...

http://youtu.be/VrquvCQ7L6E Dr. Anthony Fauci has admitted making his latest mistake in coronavirus guidance, this time over when he thinks the pandemic will come “under control” — apologizing by saying, “My bad.” The White House coronavirus czar had told NPR on Monday that if enough people get vaccinated, the US could “really get some good control over this” by the fall or winter of next year. But quizzed on it by CNN’s Anderson Cooper later the same day, Fauci — who has been under fire repeatedly for flip-flopping on his public advice from the early days of the pandemic — said he actually thinks that control will come even sooner. “Anderson, I have to apologize. When I listened to the tape, I meant to say the spring of 2022, so I did misspeak,” he said. #AnthonyFauci #COVID #NewYork...

http://youtu.be/2WXtxtP9KH0 An unvaccinated mother of four died on Friday after a battle with COVID-19. Samantha Willis, 35, contracted the virus while she was pregnant, giving birth to her baby, Eviegrace, and then passing from COVID-19. She died at Altnagelvin Hospital in Derry, Northern Ireland, and her funeral was held at St. Columb’s Church, Londonderry, two weeks after giving birth. At her funeral, her newborn baby, Eviegrace, followed her coffin in the procession alongside her close friends and family. Willis never got to hold her newborn or even meet her because of the debilitating disease that has killed over 4.4 million people around the globe. At the funeral, Joe Clifford, who ran the service, also baptized the newborn baby, saying it was the first time he had ever conduct...

http://youtu.be/Gq_IQZFsFtE As disgraced outgoing Gov. Andrew Cuomo packed his bags and sent his belongings to his sister’s house in his last days in office, he left something very important behind — his dog. Instead, Cuomo asked staff at his Albany mansion if they want to take care of his dog, Captain, the Albany Times Union reported, citing two state police sources. #AndrewCuomo #Dog #Albany 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/ImmGRBkYsik Vice President Kamala Harris is under fire after footage shows her laughing when asked about the deadly chaos in Afghanistan. The VP — heavily criticized for her delay in addressing the disaster that started after the US pulled out despite the Taliban’s resurgence — was already grinning widely when she approached reporters Friday. A reporter attempted to ask about her “response on Americans” — but the VP cut her off before she could finish. “Hold on, hold on — slow down, everybody!” Harris said, before letting out her now-notorious laugh, shaking her shoulders as she chuckled. The VP finally controlled herself to insist that the Biden administration “couldn’t have a higher priority right now” than Afghanistan. #KamalaHarris #Afghanistan #NewYorkPost The N...

http://youtu.be/qrQxvvNqz3E A defiant President Biden on Sunday stood by his decision to pull troops out of Afghanistan — though acknowledged during a bumbling press briefing that terror groups like ISIS could now be poised to strike. “Let me be clear, the evacuation of thousands of people from Kabul is going to be hard and painful no matter when it started, when we began,” said Biden, who stumbled over his words at several points while speaking from the White House. #Biden #Afghanistan #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/70GSkPSJNq4 A shocking video making the rounds on social media claims to show a panicked crowd rush into the terminal at Kabul airport after Afghanistan fell to the Taliban — but the footage was shot in Texas. The footage posted by several Twitter users, including by @Conflict_Zones, is actually a clip of anxious fans rushing into AT&T Stadium in Arlington for a 2019 game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Seattle Seahawks, Newsweek said in a report Thursday. The clip was originally posted on Jan. 5, 2019, by Jon Machota, a reporter for The Athletic who was covering the game for the outlet. #Kabul #Afghanistan #NewYorkPost The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, fashion...

http://youtu.be/3Fq35e60okM Harrowing footage from Kabul’s international airport shows desperate Afghans attempting to flee their country by any means necessary — even handing children to US soldiers on the other side of the airport wall in the hope of getting them on evacuation flights. The nonprofit organization Rise to Peace posted a series of video clips of the chaos Tuesday. The footage shows a mass of humanity outside Hamid Karzai International Airport, some of them waving passports and other identification documents. The initial clip shows a man being helped over barbed wire by a pair of American soldiers. A series of pops can be heard in a second clip, which Rise to Peace claimed was exploding tear gas canisters utilized in an effort to keep the crowd back. In a third, longer c...

http://youtu.be/ajB-G9Sgg7w A disturbed man parked what he claimed was a truck bomb on Capitol Hill and made livestreamed threats to President Biden — ranting that “the South’s coming” and that the deaths of Afghan people “are on your hands” — before surrendering after a five-hour standoff Thursday. Floyd Ray Roseberry of Grover, NC, got out of his pickup truck and gave himself up shortly after cops used a robot to deliver a telephone that he refused to pick up, Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger said during a brief news conference around 2:30 p.m. #CapitolHill #Biden #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/Y7xHkY2BuOk CNN correspondent Clarissa Ward says she was screamed at by Taliban fighters to cover her face and her producer was nearly pistol-whipped as the violence and chaos on the ground in Kabul escalates. During a live cross near Kabul airport on Wednesday, Ward gave a harrowing account of the “mayhem” that’s occurring as thousands of Afghans — many who helped the US fight the war — plead with troops to evacuate them. #ClarissaWard #Taliban #Kabul 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/4EgSP0hg_BE For the second time in three days, President Biden delivered a major address from the East Room of the White House — but took no questions from the press corps about the unfolding debacle in Afghanistan. Biden announced a series of measures Wednesday related to COVID-19 — including threatening to have the Education Department sue GOP governors who have barred school districts from imposing mask mandates — but made no mention of the country where up to 15,000 Americans and thousands more allies are believed to be stranded in territory now held by the Taliban. #Biden #Afghanistan #COVID 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/YjJgyJkCfno COVID-19 vaccine booster shots are expected to be available for American adults starting late September – with health care workers, nursing home residents and other elderly people first in line, health officials said. The plan laid out Wednesday by the Biden administration calls for a third dose of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccine eight months after the second jab pending an independent evaluation by the Food and Drug Administration. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention wants to roll out the booster shot program the week of Sept. 20, said Director Rochelle Walensky — while citing new data showing a decrease in vaccine effectiveness over time against mild and moderate infections. #COVID19 #Vaccines #COVIDBooster The New York Post is your source for b...

http://youtu.be/k5niWgB4ywY Days after giving two weeks’ notice that he would resign his office amid a serial sexual harassment scandal, Gov. Andrew Cuomo is using the unprecedented lame-duck period to grant clemency and pardons to 10 felons — including three convicts tied to killings. Cuomo, a three-term Democrat forced to resign to avoid impeachment, said, “One of the foundational promises of New York state is that of equal justice, and equal compassion, for all under the law.” #Cuomo #Pardons #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/JgTZS_cISQ0 An 80-year-old Texas man died when a double-decker party boat capsized in a lake during a thunderstorm, authorities said. Karl Katzenberger, of Montgomery, died at a hospital Saturday after a party boat carrying 53 passengers flipped on Lake Conroe amid a strong thunderstorm and high winds, the Houston Chronicle reported. The inclement weather led to rough, choppy conditions on the lake north of Houston and waves up to five feet high, Capt. Joe Sclider of the Montgomery County Constable’s Office told the newspaper. The vessel, the Lake Conroe Queen, capsized about 40 minutes into its planned 90-minute excursion, KPRC reported. Video obtained by the station showed the boat on its side in the water.

http://youtu.be/3jrjeuPXHDs Gunfire could be heard at Kabul International Airport on Monday morning as Afghan citizens flooded the tarmac, some clinging to the jet bridge of a plane, as they desperately tried to flee the country. The chaos followed a disastrous day for Afghanistan and the first day of Taliban rule in the country. The messy withdrawal of US troops, after 20 years of relentless conflict, caused the government to collapse within days, sending President Ashraf Ghani into hiding. The State Department said early Monday that all staffers from the US embassy in Kabul were safe and being flown out of the country. #NewYorkPost #KabulAirport #Taliban #Afghan The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real es...

David Paterson has admitted he finds it “suspicious” that his successor, Andrew Cuomo, needs 14 days to leave office after finally resigning in disgrace. Paterson, 67, told WNYC on Thursday that it was clear Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul was “ready to take over right now” because “she has been aware that this situation could occur since March” — since the investigation began into sex-harassment accusations against Cuomo. #DavidPaterson #AndrewCuomo #KathyHochul The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, fashion, and more.
