http://youtu.be/npnlFZHtbpI Travelers trying to flee New York on budget airlines out of LaGuardia Airport were faced with ankle-deep water Friday morning amid widespread flooding. The airport was forced to close its Terminal A — from where flights on Spirit and Frontier airlines depart — as the floodwaters barreled through the building. Photos and videos posted online showed the terminal covered in water as frantic passengers tried to flee. One woman even shared footage from inside one of the terminals, showing her TikTok followers the water creeping up over her boots and seeping through the building’s revolving doors. “NEVER FLYING FROM LAGUARDIA AGAIN.” she wrote on the clip.

http://youtu.be/SFAQLEYycks US Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the trailblazing California Democrat who broke gender barriers throughout her five decades in politics, died Thursday night at her Washington, DC home following a number of health scares. She was 90. NY Post Political Reporter Jon Levine shares this story. The death of the senator on Thursday night has left California Gov. Gavin Newsom with the job of appointing a replacement to serve the remaining 15 months of her term — a choice he hoped never to have to make. Newsom initially promised in 2021 to pick a black woman to replace Feinstein if she was unable to remain in the Senate through January 2025. That was in response to the outcry from some quarters after he appointed then-California Secretary of State Alex Padilla to replace Se...

http://youtu.be/alyyC-Q-XF8 Mayor Eric Adams was blasted for a slow response to Friday’s massive flooding — after he failed to issue more than the most meager warning the day before and even showed up late for an emergency management hearing with other officials. While other leaders from organizations such as the MTA held major briefings, Adams’ only warning to New Yorkers Thursday was some retweeted weather announcements — he then went off to a party that night, leaving classes to go on as normal at schools, some of which wound up flooded. He finally issued a state of emergency some two hours after Gov. Kathy Hochul did so for the state — and as rain started to taper off. Even fellow Democrats were left steaming. “I am dumbfounded by the lack of communication from City Hall to prepar...

http://youtu.be/Z-k6dyDPzno Disgraced former ABC News reporter James Gordon Meek was sentenced Friday to six years in prison after admitting to trading child pornography content. Virginia federal judge Claude Hilton handed down the judgment that was just one year more than the minimum term Meek, 54, was seeking, prosecutors announced. The Virginia US Attorney’s Office last week asked the judge for a much heavier penalty of between 12 1/2 years and 15 years behind bars — what federal guidelines recommended for the once-acclaimed journalist though still far below the 20-year maximum he faced. Meanwhile, Meek sought leniency emphasizing he had taken total responsibility and had never previously been charged with another crime. In July, the former national security reporter copped to tran...

http://youtu.be/ZLR9ms3ixsw Now-former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley took a parting shot at former President Donald Trump during his retirement ceremony Friday. Explaining the “unique” nature of the US military, the 65-year-old Milley emphasized that we “don’t take an oath to an individual” in America. “We don’t take an oath to a king, or queen, or a tyrant or a dictator. We don’t take an oath to a wannabe dictator,” spat Milley, apparently referring to Trump, 77. “… We take an oath to the Constitution, and we take an oath to the idea that is America and we’re willing to die to protect it,” he added. Milley’s sign-off came seven days after Trump wrote on Truth Social that the general’s impending retirement would be “a time for all citizens of the USA to celebr...

http://youtu.be/lhISIRyQbRs Children are disappearing from northern Ohio in record numbers, with more than 1,000 minors reported missing so far this year. More than 45 children have gone missing in the Cleveland-Akron area this month alone, and in August, there were more than 35 missing minors, according to the Ohio attorney general’s missing children website. The disappearances are creating a disturbing trend in northern Ohio, which began in May, when nearly 30 children went missing in just the first two weeks. Officials at the time called it an “extraordinary surge” in disappearances. Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost repeated on Monday that the number of missing children is alarming — though he claimed the figure may be inflated due to inconsistencies in updating reports, which the C...

http://youtu.be/KUWegiVRV1E Hillary Clinton ominously warned that Russian President Vladimir Putin could meddle in the upcoming 2024 elections. NY Post reporter Ryan King shares this story. The former Democrat Party standard bearer reiterated her vexation that Putin interfered in the 2016 election, and fretted he’s being underestimated this time around. “The Russians have proved themselves to be quite adept at interfering and if he has a chance, he’ll do it again,” Clinton surmised on MSNBC’s “Inside with Jen Psaki” on Sunday. “I don’t think despite all of the deniers, there’s any doubt that he interfered in our election,” she said. “Part of the reason he worked so hard against me is because he didn’t think that he wanted me in the White House.” In the run-up to the 2016 presidential...

Wild footage obtained by Italian news source Corriere del Veneto shows waiters brawling with customers at Caffè Chioggia in Venice, Italy’s famed St. Mark’s square. Seven waiters and four patrons with a “foreign nationality” were involved in the scuffle, according to the local outlet.

http://youtu.be/bt_4O5gXE24 A female tech CEO who appeared on the Forbes 30 under 30 list has been found dead in her Baltimore apartment with blunt-force trauma after being reported missing. Pava LaPere, 26, was found inside her luxury Mount Vernon apartment by police Monday morning shortly after she was reported missing. The EcoMap founder was found with blunt-force trauma, according to police. The medical examiner’s office “took possession of the victim’s body,” police said. It is unknown whether LaPere had any guests over prior to her death. It appeared she was single on her social media pages.

http://youtu.be/0I6Ze1dpNTU A renowned zoologist has pleaded guilty to dozens of sickening charges including animal cruelty, bestiality and possession of child exploitation material. Darwin crocodile expert Adam Robert Corden Britton, 52, was unmasked as the serial animal abuser in the Northern Territory Supreme Court on Monday. His name had previously been suppressed from the public due to the depravity of his crimes, which threatened his right to a fair trial, the NT News reported.

http://youtu.be/39BoaGObNnM A mother of six from Oklahoma was found dead and wrapped in an old carpet wedged into a ditch days after going on a date with an unknown man, officials said. Makayla Meave-Byers, a 30-year-old teacher’s assistant, went missing on September 15 after getting into a Chevrolet pickup truck driven by a tall, balding man sporting a dark beard and sunglasses, according to a Facebook post by the Pottawatomie County Sheriff’s Office. The woman, who was married but in an open relationship, left her home in Macomb with the man voluntarily, after “supposedly” agreeing to go out on a date with him, Pottawatomie County Undersheriff Travis Dinwiddie told People magazine.

http://youtu.be/0469r7dWpZI Joe Biden, 80, slipped and nearly tumbled down the stairs while exiting Air Force One on Tuesday – just hours after it was revealed that the commander-in-chief is working with a physical therapist and using shorter stairs to avoid further trip-ups. The near-miss occurred moments after Biden touched down at the Detroit Metro Airport, where he was greeted by United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain, Lieutenant Governor Garland Gilchrist, Rep. Debbie Dingell, Rep. Rashida Tlaid and Rep. Shri Thanedar, the clip shared by radio reporter Alex McLennon shows. Despite the hair-raising moment, Biden recovered smoothly and appeared unbothered by the gaffe.

http://youtu.be/FN3ngiUfUPE An unsuspecting groom in Texas was tricked not once, but twice, by his mischievous groomsmen as he prepared for his nuptials over the summer. Footage posted to Instagram by Wisteria Jade Photography shows the groom excitedly waiting in the venue for the first look with his bride, but instead of being greeted by his soon-to-be-wife, he turns around to find one of his best men dressed in a white gown and veil. After some laughter, the video cuts, and shows the groom waiting for the “real” first look – only to be duped again by another best man in a dress. He appears to appreciate their dedication to the bit, and after some more giggling, poses with his groomsmen for some funny photos. “Groom pranks are always my favorite, but TWO groom pranks puts the icing o...

http://youtu.be/0BZ01OjEvYs President Biden tried to burnish his blue-collar image Tuesday by standing on the picket line with striking United Auto Workers in Michigan — for all of 12 minutes — before hopping back on Air Force One for a swanky Silicon Valley fundraiser later in the evening. “Wall Street didn’t build the country — the middle class built the country,” Biden, 80, yelled through a bullhorn to cheers from assembled UAW members outside Detroit. “Unions built the middle class. That’s a fact. So let’s keep going. You deserve what you’ve earned and you’ve earned a hell of a lot more than you’re getting paid now.

http://youtu.be/GSOSytnUkQ0 It’s Bill de Smoochio! Horndog ex-Hizzoner Bill de Blasio was spotted enjoying a heated make-out session with a mystery woman at the Big Apple’s Empire Rooftop bar Friday night, photos obtained exclusively by The Post show. The 62-year-old former New York City mayor — who is separated from his wife Chirlane but reportedly still lives with her — and his “age appropriate” date couldn’t keep their hands off each other during the very public tryst that lasted at least three hours, said a snoop seated at a nearby table.

http://youtu.be/rJarv74G1Yk President Biden’s dog Commander attacked yet another Secret Service agent Monday — marking the 11th known time the 2-year-old canine chomped down on the Executive Mansion’s staff. “Yesterday around 8 p.m., a Secret Service Uniformed Division police officer came in contact with a first family pet and was bitten. The officer was treated by medical personnel on complex,” USSS chief of communications Anthony Guglielmi told CNN in a statement. The agent is reportedly in good condition and has since spoken with Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle about the incident. The White House did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment. The latest bite comes just two months after shocking internal Secret Service records revealed what an aggressive and...

http://youtu.be/cfS_2PX4Yag A ruling by a New York judge that Donald Trump had committed fraud — leaving the fate of his business empire dangling in uncertainty — was a “devastating” blow for the former president, legal experts said Tuesday night. If not successfully appealed, the decision will revoke the Trump Organization’s “business certificates,” preventing the 77-year-old from conducting business in the Empire State until the revocation is rescinded. A Manhattan judge ruled that the businessman greatly exaggerated the value of his wealth to secure favorable terms with banks, which ultimately led him to worldwide fame — and into the White House. “The decision today is a final decision that fraud is proven. The judge made this decision on the basis of Trump’s own documents. The evid...

http://youtu.be/lr1CfP9uoXg These American all-stars are world-class wonders who willed themselves into the history of human — and canine — achievement. NY Post's Joshua Rhett Miller shares this story. A teen roller-skating phenom, water-skiing team and a basketball-dunking dog are among the apex US athletes in the brand-new “Guinness World Records 2024,” which includes 2,638 feats from nearly 30,000 applicants. Three of the record-breaking Americans revealed to The Post how dedication, fate and a little push from their families helped guide them to their piece of history.

http://youtu.be/4uV47LWHr5I A group of young looters created havoc in Philadelphia on Tuesday night, stealing from several stores in a spree that is unrelated to earlier peaceful protests over a judge’s decision to drop charges against a cop who fatally shot Eddie Irizarry, police said. The unruly crowd outnumbered responding officers as they went from store to store in Center City, lifting merchandise and stuffing it in large plastic bags, CBS Philadelphia reported. The shoplifters hit a Foot Locker and Apple store near 15th and Chestnut streets as well as a Lululemon in Rittenhouse Square and are accused of assaulting a security guard at the shoe store, according to the local station. At least 15 people were arrested in connection with the frenzied mass-shoplifting event, according t...

http://youtu.be/E7Op51tPNk0 A fire tore through a large banquet hall in Iraq on Wednesday, killing at least 114 people and injuring 150 who were celebrating a Christian wedding, authorities announced. The fast-moving blaze burned the hall to the ground in Iraq’s predominantly Christian area of Hamdaniya in Nineveh province, authorities said. The exterior walls of the event space were reportedly covered in highly flammable cladding that is illegal in the country, civil defense officials quoted by the state-run Iraqi News Agency said. “The fire led to the collapse of parts of the hall as a result of the use of highly flammable, low-cost building materials that collapse within minutes when the fire breaks out,” civil defense said. All that was left of the venue was charred metal and debr...

http://youtu.be/XhXoeIXVD0I A Wisconsin woman convicted of murdering her lover and then sexually abusing and dismembering his corpse has been sentenced to life in prison without parole, a judge ruled on Tuesday. Taylor Schabusiness, 25, strangled Shad Thyrion to death during a meth-fueled tryst in February 2022 in the basement of Thyrion’s mother’s Green Bay home. She then severed his head and penis with kitchen knives, she admitted to investigators. “The offense in this case can’t be overstated,” Brown County Circuit Judge Walsh said before delivering the sentence, according to the Green Bay Post-Gazette. “You seem to run out of superlatives. Where the victim’s remains are cut up? These actions are foreign. They shock the community; there aren’t really words for it.” Schabusiness wor...

http://youtu.be/lSMuWUS1fyw A popular social media influencer known as “Meatball” livestreamed the rabid looting spree that engulfed Philadelphia’s city center overnight, before she was seemingly arrested while cheering on the marauders. Meatball, whose real name is Dayjia Blackwell, shared video and photos on her Instagram Stories gleefully documenting the mass plunder of several businesses, including an Apple store, a Foot Locker, a Lululemon and a liquor store. The content creator with close to 650,000 followers across Instagram and TikTok could be seen laughing, clapping and shouting “Let’s go!” as she witnessed suspected looters fleeing while she was driven across the city.

http://youtu.be/Tq9Cx_ZaJX4 Florida police used a so-called PIT maneuver and slammed into a stolen SUV operated by a 15-year-old boy to put an end to the teen’s wild joyride on Tampa’s freeways. Harrowing aerial footage of the high-speed case shows police repeatedly attempting to box in a red Toyota RAV4 on Sunday as the stolen vehicle, occupied by a 15- and 14-year-old, evaded their efforts by driving off the roads. The video then cuts to another attempt to stop the teens in the middle of a highway overpass on the Selmon Expressway, with one police cruiser opting to swipe the car with a PIT maneuver, which turns the Toyota around. “He PIT him. He PIT him. If we can help him, he just PIT him,” the pilot can be heard directing the other cruisers. Despite sliding several feet on the roa...

http://youtu.be/BYyYwrnXces Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) proclaimed his innocence Tuesday after reporters cornered him in a Capitol Hill elevator amid mounting calls for his resignation from lawmakers. Menendez appeared irked by reporters questioning him about his refusal to step down from the Senate after being hit with federal corruption charges last week. At least 22 Senate Democrats have publicly called for the New Jersey lawmaker’s resignation as of Tuesday night, as he faces three criminal counts related to an alleged years-long bribery scheme that Manhattan prosecutors say benefited Menendez, his wife, three Garden State businessmen and the government of Egypt. “Because I’m innocent! What’s wrong with you guys?” Menendez shouted at reporters as the doors to the elevator outside his...

http://youtu.be/JluURlIM-CM Doctors at an Ohio hospital propped up a dead patient in a “fake alive” pose before she was seen by her family — even though she had died during a routine surgery two hours earlier, according to a lawsuit. The patient, an unidentified 65-year-old woman, was in “good health” when she walked into Adena Health System in Chillicothe for what should have been a routine heart catheterization, the Scioto Valley Guardian reported. The woman’s family has claimed discrepancies between hospital records and the death certificate regarding her time of death.

http://youtu.be/A7Tpqw23zkQ A DNA sample from accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann linked him to at least one of the women he is accused of killing 13 years ago — and to a pizza crust that helped crack the cold case, prosecutors said in court Wednesday. Heuermann, 59, submitted the court-ordered swab last month, with Suffolk County prosecutors now saying that the sample matched DNA from a pizza crust found outside his Midtown Manhattan office in July — which matched a hair found on the body of Gilgo Beach victim Megan Waterman in 2010. The hulking architect — who wore tan pants, a white shirt and a jacket and sported a new haircut with a comb-over as he appeared in court — is charged with murder in the deaths of three women who were found dumped along Gilgo Beach in December ...

http://youtu.be/gLe3Q2rU8Aw A New York judge’s Tuesday ruling valuing Donald Trump’s sprawling, headline-making Florida estate at $18 million has left industry experts perplexed. In his verdict, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron delivered a bombshell ruling that the former president committed fraud by inflating the value of his wealth, with details including the monetary value associated with Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach. This decision, which came down without a jury, has sent shockwaves through political — and real estate — circles, especially that $18 million base value for the property. One prominent Palm Beach real estate broker, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told The Post, “It’s utterly delusional to think that property is only worth $18 million.” Engoron’s ver...

http://youtu.be/R4bX2EyULZQ Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) admitted this week he’s been closely monitoring President Biden as polls show growing concern among voters about the commander-in-chief’s advanced age. “I’m a human being. When I’m hanging out, I’m looking close,” Booker quipped Tuesday on Stephen A. Smith’s FanDuel show. “Is he gonna doze off on me? I’m sorry, I’m human. I want to see if this guy can roll with me.” The Garden State senator, who competed with Biden in 2020 for the Democratic presidential nomination, went on to insist that he’s been satisfied with Biden’s capabilities after viewing them up close. “I’ve sat up in the Oval Office and he’s known more about facts than people on his staff does,” Booker added, though he insinuated that the 80-year-old president would lose to...
