http://youtu.be/u0a6Dymu-hQ Bill and Melinda Gates had a previously undisclosed meeting with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein in New York City — and the visit was so uncomfortable, she warned her husband not to have anything to do with the financier again, according to a report. The Microsoft co-founder and his wife — who announced their divorce this week — visited Epstein’s Upper East Side townhouse in September 2013, according to the Daily Beast, citing sources who said Melinda was “furious” after the meeting. The meeting came on the same day the philanthropic couple accepted the Lasker-Bloomberg Public Service Award at the Pierre Hotel and were photographed with then-Mayor Mike Bloomberg, according to the outlet. #MelindaGates #BillGates #JeffreyEpstein The New York Post is your...

http://youtu.be/dkZYVn3mRVs Derek Chauvin and three other former Minneapolis police officers were indicted by a federal grand jury Friday on charges that they violated George Floyd’s civil rights. A three-count indictment named Chauvin, Thomas Lane, J. Alexander Keung and Tou Thao. All four were charged with failure to provide Floyd, 46, with medical care as Chauvin pinned him to the ground for more than 9 minutes as a handcuffed Floyd repeatedly said he could not breathe. Chauvin, Thao and Keung were also charged with violating Floyd’s right to be free from unreasonable seizure and excessive force, according to the indictments. Chauvin, 45, who was convicted last month of second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in Floyd’s death on May 25, 2020, was als...

http://youtu.be/_1xCifoJAiM NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea on Friday fired back at Gov. Andrew Cuomo over his concerns about subway crime — snipping, “I stopped listening a long time ago.” The top cop, appearing on Fox 5’s “Good Day New York,” was peppered with questions about recent violence on the rails in light of the unprovoked attack on Gerard Sykes, an off-duty MTA conductor, on a J train at Crescent Street on Wednesday night. Two days earlier, Cuomo had pointed the finger at his political foe and Shea’s boss, Big Apple Mayor Bill de Blasio, for turning the subways into a rolling homeless shelter, claiming the situation was worse than even during the “dangerous” 1970s. Cuomo also said this past week, “I’m not telling my child to ride the subway, because I’m afraid for my child.”...

http://youtu.be/Mri1VhM6SDs As business owners from coast to coast say they can’t find enough workers willing to come back to work, President Biden on Monday said he wants to make sure people offered a job either take it or lose the generous COVID-19 unemployment benefits. “The law is clear: if you’re receiving unemployment benefits and you’re offered a suitable job, you can’t refuse that job and just keep getting the unemployment benefits,” Biden said at the White House. “No one should be allowed to game the system and we will insist that the law is followed.” Biden didn’t say how exactly current rules could be more strictly enforced. States administer unemployment benefits and many are bedeviled by notoriously outdated and inefficient computer systems. Biden added: “Let’s not take o...

http://youtu.be/xEZsAgc-Sd0 The kidnapped 15-year-old daughter of an anti-violence activist from Newark, NJ, has been found murdered in South Carolina, according to her family and the local sheriff. The body of Sanaa Amenhotep — the daughter of Brick City Peace Collective member Sharif Malik Amenhotep — was found Thursday after a three-week search, officials announced. “My first heir Sanaa Mahari Amenhotep I can’t believe she gone from us,” her father wrote on Facebook alongside a series of family images. “You shattered the hearts of my entire family the pain I will never be the same,” wrote Amenhotep. “I’m sorry Princess I didn’t protect u,” he added. “I promise u will never ever leave my heart or mind … I would lay down my life for u … I love u so much.” Sharif Amenhotep — whose gr...

http://youtu.be/EpKQR9YmRio An attorney for Ghislaine Maxwell on Thursday released the first photograph of the accused madam since she was arrested last summer, showing the former socialite with a wrinkly face and a bruise under her eye. The photo of Maxwell was included in a letter filed in her Manhattan federal criminal case by her attorney Bobbi Sternheim, who wrote that the apparent injury has caused friction between her and guards at the jail, the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. “Last night, she was confronted by MDC staff due a visible bruise over her left eye,” Sternheim wrote in the letter. “No guard addressed the bruise until Ms. Maxwell, who has no mirror, caught a reflection of her aching eye in the glean of a nail clipper.

http://youtu.be/l9trXMm7h3o The first thing you need to know about the return of indoor stand-up comedy in New York City: There’s an actual person standing in front of you. “I’ve had people that have literally tried to treat the live show like they’re watching Netflix: ‘Can you say that again?’ ” stand-up Matt Richards told The Post. “Did you just hit rewind on live comedy? Are you s – – tting me?” It may look different than it did in the Before Times, but New York’s iconic stand-up comedy scene is officially back, thanks to rising vaccination rates and added safety measures. Indoor clubs were allowed to reopen on April 2 at one-third capacity, and crowds have been lining up and selling out shows. #Comedy #NewYork #StandUpComedy The New York Post is your source for breaking news, ne...

http://youtu.be/nNWN07KErlA President Biden on Thursday said he wasn’t aware in advance about the FBI raid on Rudy Giuliani’s Manhattan apartment. “I give you my word I was not, I made a pledge: I would not interfere,” Biden said in an interview with Craig Melvin of NBC News. “I learned about it last night,” Biden said. He said, “The Justice Department is the people’s lawyer, not the president’s lawyer.” Giuliani served as former President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer and was influential in investigating and promoting allegations of Biden family corruption. #JoeBiden #RudyGiuliani #FBIRaid 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/cvoAzIx0CqI Mayor Bill de Blasio said Thursday that Rudy Giuliani — once hailed as “America’s Mayor” for leading the city through 9/11 — “has come unhinged.” The comments come a day after federal agents raided the former mayor’s apartment and office as part of an investigation into his dealings in Ukraine. “It’s a sad thing to have to say about a predecessor,” de Blasio said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “But Rudy Giuliani has just come unhinged in every sense. He attached himself to Donald Trump but then went even farther and decided to be one of the most extreme voices in the Trump world. #BillDeBlasio #RudyGiuliani #Trump The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, fashion, and ...

http://youtu.be/xhSIrMV-gl8 New York City will be “fully open” on July 1 — nearly a year-and-a-half after the COVID-19 shutdown, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Thursday morning. “We are ready for stores to open, for businesses to open, offices, theaters, full-strength,” Hizzoner said in an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” The Big Apple is finally ready to reopen because “people have gotten vaccinated in extraordinary numbers, 6.3 million vaccinations in New York City to date,” the mayor said. “We know the vaccination effort is going to grow and grow,” he added. “We gotta keep working hard at that, but what’s amazing is that every single day, we’re beating back COVID more and more.” #BillDeBlasio #NewYorkCity #NYC The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New ...

http://youtu.be/EkqHQ9sVNmM The woman who has accused mayoral candidate and current city Comptroller Scott Stringer of groping her multiple times when she interned for him spoke publicly Wednesday, claiming Stringer “inappropriately and relentlessly pursued a sexual relationship” with her and asked her more than once, “Why won’t you f—k me?” Jean Kim, speaking alongside her lawyer outside the comptroller’s office near City Hall, claimed that Stringer preyed on her in 2001 while she was working as an unpaid intern on his campaign for public advocate.

http://youtu.be/dhuHZbmKWJc A member of the jury that convicted former Minneapolis cop Derek Chauvin of murdering George Floyd said the trial felt like “watching someone die every day” — and that Chauvin didn’t appear to show any remorse. Brandon Mitchell, 32 — juror 52 in the case that attracted worldwide attention — told CNN the atmosphere in the courtroom “was just dark.” “It felt like every day was a funeral and watching someone die every day,” Mitchell told the network. “It was tense every day. I wasn’t nervous, but it was stressful. It was a lot of pressure.” Mitchell, a basketball coach, is the first juror who deliberated in the trial to speak publicly about his experience. #DerekChauvin #GeorgeFloyd #Juror The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New Y...

http://youtu.be/rUN5mpKbjPU Federal agents raided former Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s Manhattan apartment and office on Wednesday morning, two law enforcement sources briefed on the matter told The Post. The agents executed a search warrant and seized electronic devices from both locations, one source said. The moves were tied to an investigation into Giuliani’s dealings in Ukraine, according to reports. A resident of Giuliani’s Upper East Side building on East 66th Street said the doorman described greeting the agents at 6 a.m. and letting them pass when they displayed a search warrant. The raid marked an escalation in the feds’ probe of the former mayor, who is being investigated over whether he illegally lobbied former President Donald Trump on behalf of officials and oligarchs in Ukraine...

http://youtu.be/OTc0FLHCFUM It’s not exactly fabulous. A clip of disgraced pedophile and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein on VH1’s “The Fabulous Life of…” has resurfaced. A two-minute cringe-worthy clip from Epstein’s feature on the show was shared by a Twitter user this week and is spreading like wildfire. “35 seconds in and you’re thinking, this won’t get worse. But it does,” wrote Eoin Higgins, who posted the video. Epstein, who died by suicide in prison in 2019, was featured on the reality series in a 2007 episode called “The Fabulous Life of Billion Dollar Wall Street Ballers.” The financier was revealed to have been worth around $560 million shortly before his death. #JeffreyEpstein #BillClinton #VH1 The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sport...

http://youtu.be/sP_xeibSIck CNN contributor and former US senator Rick Santorum is under fire for “racist” comments that critics said debased Native American culture, prompting calls for his immediate termination. Santorum, 62, told the conservative Young America’s Foundation on Friday that “there isn’t much Native American culture in American culture,” claiming the United States has been largely unchanged since the country was born out of “Judeo-Christian” values. “We came here and created a blank slate,” the former senator from Pennsylvania said. “We birthed a nation from nothing. I mean, there was nothing here. I mean, yes, we have Native Americans, but candidly, there’s isn’t much Native American culture in American culture.” #RickSantorum #CNN The New York Post is your source fo...

http://youtu.be/8Yyo2NrvbS8 Marine researchers in the Pacific say they’ve unearthed an underwater dump of as many as 25,000 barrels — an estimated 350 and 700 tons — of toxic DDT in what they believe to be a long-forgotten waste site dating back to World War II. Scientists at University of California San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography used underwater “Roombas” — drones with sonar technology — to trawl more than 36,000 acres of seabed between Catalina Island and the waters off the coast of Los Angeles, a region previously known to contain high levels of DDT in the ecosystem. Images snapped during their search show 27,345 “barrel-like” objects containing the insecticide, the Associated Press now reports, just 3,000 feet below the water’s surface. #DDT #ChemicalSpill #Polluti...

http://youtu.be/40pF1_m4ud0 Elon Musk has admitted that “a bunch of people will probably die” in the race to get to Mars. The SpaceX pioneer made his blunt prediction as he laughed at how his planned Mars mission was being seen as “some escape hatch for rich people.” “You might die, it’s going to be uncomfortable and probably won’t have good food,” Musk told Peter Diamandis, the founder and chairman of the X Prize Foundation for scientific discovery. Advertisements for the journey should note how it will be an “arduous and dangerous journey where you may not come back alive,” Musk said with a chuckle. “Honestly, a bunch of people will probably die in the beginning,” he said, while insisting it will also be “a glorious adventure and it will be an amazing experience.” #ElonMusk #SpaceX...

http://youtu.be/prjsRzruU04 A pill that’s being developed by Pfizer as a potential cure for COVID-19 could be ready later this year if the trials are successful, a report said. The antiviral drug, PF-07321332, is designed to attack the “spine” of the SARS-CoV-2 virus to prevent it from replicating in the nose, throat and lungs, the Telegraph reported. “We have designed PF-07321332 as a potential oral therapy that could be prescribed at the first sign of infection, without requiring that patients are hospitalized or in critical care,” Mikael Dolsten, who leads the company’s worldwide research, development and medical division, said in a statement. #COVID19 #Pfizer The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real est...

http://youtu.be/8o3zuRIPIeo The woman who admitted to gunning down her ex-girlfriend execution-style in Park Slope this week should be treated as a “victim” of “intergenerational trauma” who deserves “compassion,” a candidate for New York’s City Council has suggested. Brandon West, the candidate for District 39 (Park Slope-Gowanus) — endorsed by the Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez-backed Democratic Socialists of America — railed about Wednesday’s broad-daylight shooting that left Nichelle Thomas, 51, dead. But he blamed the cold-blooded killing not on the brazen shooter but on a system that failed suspect Latisha Bell, who admitted to the slaying after surrendering to police. “People grow up in hostile and toxic environments, experience abuse and poverty and receive minimal help or educa...

http://youtu.be/7cmS69ZjHJs Russian dissident Alexei Navalny said Friday he is ending his over three-week hunger strike — because doctors warned him that continuing it could endanger his life. The 44-year-old Kremlin critic — who began his hunger strike on March 31 to demand proper care for leg and back pain — said on Instagram that he will continue to ask for medical help for the loss of sensation in his limbs. But he said he would stop the strike after having been examined by non-prison doctors — something he called “a huge progress.” “Thank you – I have now been examined twice by a panel of civilian doctors. The last time was just before the rally. They are doing tests and analyses and giving me the results and conclusions,” Navalny wrote. “I am not withdrawing my request to allow ...

http://youtu.be/nytu5TstpXY After urging athletes to stay out of politics, NFL Hall of Famer Brett Favre weighed in on the guilty verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial — saying he didn’t believe the former Minneapolis cop meant to kill George Floyd. “I find it hard to believe, and I’m not defending Derek Chauvin in any way, I find it hard to believe, first of all, that he intentionally meant to kill George Floyd,” he said Wednesday on his “Bolling with Favre” podcast. “That being said, his actions were uncalled for. I don’t care what color the person is on the street. I don’t know what led to that video that we saw where his knee is on his neck, but the man had thrown in the towel.” Favre, 51, also responded to the heat he received last week for saying that politics should be kept out of...
