http://youtu.be/gmkQ01zjYgc NY Post reporter Melissa Koenig breaks down why President Joe Biden angered Brazil's President Luiz Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva at a joint press conference yesterday. Biden looked confused again Wednesday as he walked into a giant flag at the United Nations — then appeared to anger Brazil’s president by walking off stage without shaking his hand. The gaffe-prone oldest US president in history walked into the seven-foot-tall Brazilian flag as he took the stage, taking a moment to get his bearings as the flag wobbled. He then struggled with a headset of his translation device, soon noted by Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva who was with him for a joint speech agreeing to partner on workers’ rights. “Can you hear me, President Biden? This is a hist...

http://youtu.be/vaDRFFG92aY President Biden showed his age at a campaign reception in Manhattan Wednesday — repeating statements about the 2017 Charlottesville riot and his decision to run for president in 2020 minutes apart and nearly word-for-word. During remarks at the gathering hosted by billionaire real estate heiress Amy Goldman Fowler, the 80-year-old president recounted how he was enjoying retirement after two terms as Barack Obama’s vice president when “along came, in August of 2017, Charlottesville, Virginia. “You remember those folks walking out of the fields literally carrying torches, with Nazi swastikas, holding them forward, singing the same vicious, antisemitic bile — the same exact bile — bile that was sung in — in Germany in the early ‘30s. And a young woman was killed...

http://youtu.be/gICIOfP83pI Razor company Braun may be the next company to face a boycott, as backlash mounts to a resurfaced ad featuring a trans male with visible mastectomy scars. In a Braun Series X Hybrid Trimmers ad posted on the bottom of the company’s website, a shirtless man with scar lines under his breasts can be seen using the product to apparently shave his face. The shaving accessory is advertised as being for beard hair, body hair and head hair. As the photo was again circulated online, X users slammed the company for promoting sex change operations — and have begun to call for a boycott. Chris Elston, an activist who claims he is “traveling the world to expose gender ideology and why children cannot consent to medical transition,” tweeted: “Braun is now celebrating the...

http://youtu.be/qbdSZSOhzVo A charter bus carrying members of a Long Island high school band crashed and overturned on an upstate New York highway Thursday, leaving at least one person dead and injuring dozens of others, officials said. The bus — with 25 to 30 passengers aboard — was transporting students from Farmingdale High School to a band camp in Greeley, Pa., when tragedy struck, WABC reported. The coach careened down an embankment off I-84 near Wawayanda in Orange County shortly before 1:30 p.m. One passenger — believed to be an adult — was killed and five minors were critically injured, according to the report.

http://youtu.be/7hNmMcjZxZo Ex-Governor Andrew Cuomo urged New York Gov. Kathy Hochul to sue President Biden to recover the billions of dollars absorbed while grappling with the migrant “fiasco.” “The emperor has no clothes,” Cuomo said of Biden in the latest episode of his “As a Matter of Fact” podcast Cuomo repeatedly said the federal government headed by Biden is responsible for immigration and border enforcement, not New York City or the Empire State.

http://youtu.be/_h1TpZI7fu0 NY Post Business Reporter Lydia Moynihan explains why the generative artificial intelligence revolution begun with a whimper, not a bang, at Morgan Stanley. The investment bank rolled out a new AI tool on Monday that allows its army of financial advisers to quickly access an estimated 100,000 research papers and documents. However, the bot — called AI @ Morgan Stanley Assistant — has been far from helpful in its first few days, multiple sources told On The Money. Not only is it difficult to find on the company’s internal web page, it falls short of more popular generative AI tools like ChatGPT or Bard, they said. “It’s spotty on accuracy and selective in what it can actually answer,” one source at the bank said. “I keep getting ‘I’m unable to answer your q...

http://youtu.be/Nv3FcZequLE Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), the No. 2 Senate Democrat, blasted the recent dress code easing for Sen. John Fetterman (D-Penn.) — and suggested the upper chamber “needs to act on this.” “I’m concerned about it. The senator in question from Pennsylvania is a personal friend, but I think we need to have standards,” Durbin told “The Briefing with Steve Scully” on SiriusXM in an interview airing Friday. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) confirmed the policy change Sunday, while insisting, “I will continue to wear a suit.” “I can’t understand exactly what he was thinking at that point,” a seemingly baffled Durbin replied when asked about Schumer’s rationale for the switch. “I want to give him the benefit of the doubt until I speak to him b...

http://youtu.be/V8tpgZCWV9w NY Post Reporter Kevin Sheehan breaks down the migrant crisis happening in NYC, the growing local push back from citizens, and how one anti-migrant protestor is running for the City Council. Jonathan Rinaldi, a candidate for a Queens council district, and his pal David Rem filmed themselves interrupting a forum at a Jewish center where Gov. Kathy Hochul was speaking on Tuesday . Rem shouted at Hochul to demand fellow Democrat President Biden close the border while Rinaldi filmed the antics and then later screamed about the vaccination status of migrants coming into the country as he left the venue. “You must demand Joseph Biden close the border,” Rem shouted as he held a sign up. “Close the border … New York City has been destroyed.” Read more at https://n...

http://youtu.be/kYn4Xwng744 More than 11,000 Venezuelan troops raided and regained control of a notorious prison from a powerful gang that had set up its own zoo, pool and casino for the inmates to enjoy. Tocorón prison had served as the headquarters of the Tren de Aragua criminal gang for years. Inside, Inmates and some of their relatives or partners who moved into the penitentiary were able to roam freely throughout the detention facility and enjoy its resort-like amenities, according to the Agence France-Presse. Venezuela’s interior minister Remigio Ceballos said that the jail would be completely cleared and inmates would be moved to another facility, according to the Agence France-Presse. Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro congratulated law enforcement for the raid. “I congratulat...

http://youtu.be/jSTempAwe8w A Louisiana fugitive who spent half his life on the run was captured in Mexico on Tuesday — and laughed as he was cuffed more than three decades after he was convicted for trying to murder a lifelong friend. Greg Lawson, 63, was dragged back onto US soil after a tipster reported seeing him in Huatulco, a resort region in the southwestern portion of the country, the FBI announced. Video showed the attempted murderer — dressed in a khaki shirt and flowy green pants — laughing before being placed in handcuffs for the first time in 32 years. He has been on the agency’s wanted list since May 1991, when he vanished from the rural community of Ringgold, home to a diminishing population of 1,370. Lawson had been found guilty of attempted second-degree murder for tr...

http://youtu.be/UsLsdcQTD_g President Biden on Thursday expressed his admiration for the “Congressional Black Caucus” during a speech to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus in his latest head-scratching moment. The gaffe came as he delivered a speech in Washington at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute’s 46th Annual Gala. Biden, 80, celebrated gala award recipient Sister Norma Pimental, executive director of Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley, right before the blunder. “I know Sister Norma lives the lessons nuns taught me growing up. Lessons based on the Gospel of Matthew: Feed the hungry, care for the sick, welcome strangers,” the president said. “They echo what my dad taught me, and I mean this sincerely, my dad used to say, ‘Everyone, everyone is entitled to be trea...

http://youtu.be/YlD0iNU-8x0 Wild 911 calls from when an F-35 military plane went missing showed a befuddled neighbor reported having “a pilot in the house” — and the pilot admitting he had no idea where the $90 million stealth jet now was. The 4-minute clip caught a 911 dispatcher struggling to make sense of what the ejected pilot and the man whose South Carolina house he landed in were trying to explain. “We got a pilot in the house, and I guess he landed in my backyard, and we’re trying to see if we could get an ambulance to the house, please,” the homeowner said. The pilot, who gave his age as 47, told the dispatcher that he was feeling “OK” after descending with a parachute an estimated 2,000 feet — but he complained that his back hurt. “Ma’am, a military jet crashed. I’m the pilo...

http://youtu.be/8DGIbDP9PVY An experienced wingsuit skydiver smashed into a plane’s wing and was decapitated just 20 seconds into his jump in the South of France, it was revealed during the pilot’s manslaughter trial. Nicolas Galy, 40, was the first of two skydivers who were released from the single-engine Pilatus plane at 14,000 feet over the town of Bouloc-en-Quercy in July 2018, reported the Times. Moments later, the aircraft’s pilot, identified only as 64-year-old Alain C, rapidly descended and caught up with the skydivers as they were gliding in their wingsuits. The plane’s left wing and a strut clipped Galy, beheading him, the court in the city of Montauban heard this week. The victim’s emergency parachute then opened, and his lifeless body landed in a field. In the wake of Gal...

http://youtu.be/utEbDoOt4ds A popular Turkish DJ who was “horrifically tortured” to death in London tried to comfort his girlfriend in his final moments as she was locked up blindfolded in a bathroom, according to shocking court proceedings. Mehmet Koray Alpergin, 43, and his girlfriend, Gozde Dalbudak, 34, were kidnapped by six men near Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on their way home from an Italian restaurant in upscale Mayfair on Oct. 13, 2022. They were taken to an empty wine bar where Dalbudak was blindfolded and locked in a dingy bathroom while Alpergin was beaten, scalded with hot water and stabbed on his feet, a jury was told. Even as he was being mercilessly tortured, Alpergin tried to reassure his girlfriend, who had arrived in the UK just three days earlier, according to Metro. ...

http://youtu.be/e_o1JQHTwVI A passenger on a packed flight in India was arrested after he tried to open an emergency door midair to jump, police said. Officials said Biswajit Debnath, 41, fiercely attempted to force open the emergency doors of an aircraft during a domestic flight from Guwahati to Agartala on Thursday. Chaos ensued after Debnath shot up out of his seat and headed for the doors, prompting one of the 180 passengers on board to rush after him in a desperate bid to stop him. Video footage circulating on social media shows the passenger manhandle an emergency door as the aircraft neared its destination. Crew members quickly intervened, but Debnath initially resisted being restrained, officials told Press Trust of India. In an effort to restrain him, fellow passengers dragg...

http://youtu.be/39wkhWQGbrE New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez has been hit with federal corruption charges related to a years-long scheme in which he allegedly accepted bribes — including gold bars — in exchange for helping three businessmen and the country of Egypt, officials announced Friday. The Democrat, 69 — and his wife, Nadine Menendez — were charged with taking hundreds of thousands in bribes, according to a Manhattan federal indictment. This is his second time facing federal corruption charges. When the feds raided Menendez’s Englewood Cliffs home in June 2022, they found “the fruits” of his “corrupt bribery agreement” including a 2019 Mercedes C-Class, at least 13 gold bars, and $566,000 in cash “stuffed in envelopes.” The feds say Menendez also received mortgage payments and pai...

http://youtu.be/eSWXsBiH6dw WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT. Two Las Vegas teenagers accused of mowing down a retired police chief in a fatal hit-and-run last month allegedly also tried to kill another person and crashed multiple stolen vehicles in the same two-hour crime spree. The alleged driver, Jesus Ayala, 18, and his passenger, Jzamir Keys, 16, both faced court on Thursday on a slew of charges, including murder, tied to the Aug. 14 rampage through Sin City that left 64-year-old Andreas “Andy” Probst dead. The teens allegedly kicked off their spree just before dawn when they struck a 72-year-old cyclist with a stolen Hyundai sedan before fleeing and crashing the vehicle, 8NewsNow reported, citing law enforcement sources.

http://youtu.be/vLd-_pZpEQw Former President Donald Trump refused to wear a mask at the height of the COVID pandemic because it smudged his makeup, a former aide claims. Trump made the decision to forgo masks while visiting a Honeywell factory that produced the highly sought products in May 2020, according to Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, in her new book, “Enough.” She wrote that the former president chose to wear a white mask for the event, and asked staffers what they thought of it. “I slowly shook my head,” Hutchinson writes. “The president pulled the mask off and asked why I thought he should not wear it.” In response, Hutchinson said she pointed to the straps of her own mask — prompting the president to look down at his own, wh...

http://youtu.be/kiMgePir_x4 Bill Ackman has grown Pershing Square Capital Management to more than $16 billion from $54 million since he founded the fund nearly two decades ago. The 57-year-old activist investor speaks with NYP Business Reporter Lydia Moynihan about his return to office policy, his possible presidential picks and why he’s still bullish on New York City. Lydia: You are among the big names on Wall Street who didn’t move to Florida. Why? Bill: The short answer is that I love New York City. My desire to be successful is founded on a desire to be independent. It always seemed crazy to me to sacrifice that independence to save money on taxes. If you make $100 million — some people in finance make even more than that — you can save $25 million of that by living somewhere cheape...

http://youtu.be/jncAESl6wi8 A 2-year-old Michigan girl wandered away from her home with the family’s two dogs – and was found hours later sleeping peacefully in the woods while using one of the pooches as a pillow. State troopers from the Iron Mountain post in the Upper Peninsula were called to the home in the Faithorn area of Menominee County about 8 p.m. Wednesday after the girl, identified as Thea Chase, walked off. Police launched a search using drones and K-9s as citizens from both Michigan and adjacent Wisconsin assisted in the remote wooded area. About midnight, a person riding an ATV discovered Thea about 3 miles away.

http://youtu.be/EMQGo-HJ6-8 Syrian President Bashar al-Assad arrived in the eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou, his first visit to China since 2004 and his latest bid to end more than a decade of diplomatic isolation under Western sanctions. While there, Assad is set to attend the opening ceremony of the Asian Games, along with more than a dozen foreign dignitaries. He will then lead a delegation for meetings in several Chinese cities. He will also meet President Xi Jinping. Being seen with China's president at a regional gathering should add further legitimacy to Assad's campaign to return to the world stage. Syria joined China's Belt and Road Initiative last year and was welcomed back into the Arab League in May. Faced with a crippled economy and little to show so far from his effort...

http://youtu.be/GCxNVG32juE A Long Island high schooler in the deadly bus crash in upstate New York recalled the living nightmare of waking to screams — then leaping from a window as rescuers pulled his classmates from the wreckage with “blood everywhere.” Farmingdale High School pupil Anthony Eugenio, 15, said he “was sleeping” on the way to a band event in Pennsylvania Thursday when he was startled awake by the bus hitting the pavement before tumbling 50 feet down a ravine. “I woke up, but I didn’t know I woke up — I thought I was in a dream still,” he said soon after the crash that killed two of his teachers and left five students in critical condition. “I was like, ‘This can’t be real’ … and then I heard everyone screaming.” Eugenio said he still thought he was just having a night...

http://youtu.be/xS_8Dmuugk0 Sen. John Fetterman may be allowed to dress like a slob in the halls of power — but it’s still a capital offense in New York City’s finest restaurants. Intrepid Post reporter Jon Levine learned that hard truth this week when he crisscrossed the Big Apple’s culinary landmarks wearing Fetterman’s trademark hoodie, gym shorts and sneakers and tried to gain entry — only to face scorn and mockery from maître d’s with more common sense than Congress. “He would not be permitted here,” sniffed a maître d at Daniel on the Upper East Side, where a seven-course tasting menu runs $275. She admitted she didn’t know who Fetterman was. “We have turned away guests for being improperly dressed regardless of their occupation,” she continued. At famed Le Bernardin, a suited ...

http://youtu.be/1Cak-Y85KAU Tropical Storm Ophelia made landfall early Saturday morning, blasting North Carolina with 70 mph winds, heavy rain and coastal flooding, and knocking power out for over 70,000 homes and businesses across several states. The gale touched down near Emerald Isle, in the southern part of North Carolina’s Outer Banks, around 6:15 a.m. with massive gusts just shy of hurricane-force winds. The storm moved quickly inland, heading north with winds slowing to 50 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center, and was forecast to make its way northeast through Sunday.

http://youtu.be/CU2_00S8bUM The Virginia mother sentenced to nearly 80 years in prison for fatally shooting her two daughters after slipping them melatonin-laced gummies killed them when she could no longer use the girls as “leverage” over her ex-husband, he said Saturday. Ron Youngblood — whose ex-wife Veronica Youngblood was given 78 years behind bars Friday for killing 5-year-old Brooklynn Youngblood and 15-year-old Sharon Castro five years ago — said the deranged murders had been a last-ditch effort to inflict pain on him.

http://youtu.be/s_J-4L6mFNY Outraged Staten Island residents took to the street Tuesday night to physically block the arrival of an MTA bus carrying asylum seekers to a newly converted shelter — a move that Mayor Eric Adams called “ugly,” even as over 100,000 migrants have been shipped to the Big Apple since last year. The group of unruly protesters, captured on video wailing and banging on the sides of the bus, halted traffic just before 10 p.m. after intercepting the bus, which was headed to the former Island Shores senior assisted living facility. Police said 10 people were taken into custody, with nine being issued summonses for disorderly conduct. A 48-year-old man, identified as Vadim Belyakov, was charged for allegedly assaulting an officer who was trying to make an arrest. One...

http://youtu.be/gpc8BvkMJl0 The recent surge of migrants at an El Paso port of entry has forced officials to halt all cargo operations so officers can help Border Patrol stem the influx of people coming over the Mexican border. The suspension of cargo processing at the Bridge of the Americas (BOTA) — one of the four main bridges which connects El Paso with Mexico — began Monday, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced. “The temporary suspension … will allow CBP’s Office of Field Operations officers to assist the US Border Patrol in processing noncitizens who have arrived between the ports of entry including vulnerable populations like families and unaccompanied children,” Customs and Border Protection said in a new release. As The Post previously reported, cartels have been encou...

http://youtu.be/KgZIQbQxs1Q Donald Trump Jr.’s account on X was hacked early Wednesday, sending a series of offensive tweets — including a sickening one falsely announcing the death of his dad, former President Donald Trump. “I’m sad to announce, my father Donald Trump has passed away. I will be running for president in 2024,” read the first message from Don Jr.’s account, at 8:25 a.m. Proving he was still alive, the former president sent an unrelated message on his own X rival, Truth Social, at 8:46 a.m. — more than 20 minutes after the fake death announcement.
