http://youtu.be/yll3niK-3KU Azerbaijan on Wednesday (September 20) pounded Nagorno-Karabakh, a breakaway region controlled by ethnic Armenians, despite calls from Russia and the United States for both sides to halt a spiral into war. Azerbaijan began its operation against Nagorno-Karabakh on Tuesday after some of its troops were killed in what Baku said were attacks from the mountainous region, which Azerbaijan had blockaded for nine months. Video posted on social media on Tuesday (September 19) by Artsakh Publiс TV showed destroyed vehicles and storefronts in Stepanakert in Nagorno-Karabakh, following gunfire and explosions. Nagorno-Karabakh is recognized internationally as part of Azerbaijan. #azerbaijan #nagornokarabkh #armenia The New York Post is your source for breaking news, ...

http://youtu.be/cYik8Updrr0 House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan wasted no time raking Attorney General Merrick Garland over the coals Wednesday over what Jordan alleged is a double standard in the Justice Department’s treatment of President Biden and former President Donald Trump. Jordan (R-Ohio) rattled off a list of grievances in his opening statement — including the “sweetheart” plea deal that first son Hunter Biden received earlier this year, special counsel Jack Smith’s twin probes “attacking President Trump,” the FBI’s scrutiny of traditionalist Catholics, and more. “Four out of five Americans believe there are now two standards of justice in our great country,” Jordan remarked at one point to the AG. Ranking member Jerry Nadler (D-NY) was quick to fire back in his open...

http://youtu.be/KaTD_edWws0 NY Post reporter Ricki Schlott explains how a federal court of appeals ruled earlier this month that the White House, surgeon general, CDC and FBI “likely violated the First Amendment” by exerting a pressure campaign on social media companies to censor COVID-19 skeptics — including Stanford epidemiologist Dr. Jay Bhattacharya. “I think this ruling is akin to the second Enlightenment,” Bhattacharya told The Post. “It’s a ruling that says there’s a democracy of ideas. The issue is not whether the ideas are wrong or right. The question is who gets to control what ideas are expressed in the public square?” The court ordered that the Biden administration and other federal agencies “shall take no actions, formal or informal, directly or indirectly” to coerce social...

http://youtu.be/7K8G0hAjrqE Shocking video shows a coordinated gang of carjackers forcing a driver out of his Audi at gunpoint and leaving him lying in the middle of a Chicago road as other cars drive by. The newly revealed footage shows an Audi A4 pulled over on a four-lane road with its headlights on when two other vehicles approach from the other direction — turning to trap the Audi by blocking it at the front and rear. At first, the Audi rolls forward as the desperate 27-year-old driver tries to escape, but within seconds, at least three men leap from the surrounding vehicles — with at least one pointing a gun at him. The targeted driver is then dragged out and thrown to the ground as the gang “displayed handguns and demanded the victim’s vehicle,” Chicago police said. An attacker...

http://youtu.be/bdW6JUwnosI A Tanzanian fashion designer has finally been reunited with clothes which were allegedly swiped from her in 2018 by Sam Brinton, the ex-Department of Energy official with a penchant for stealing women’s suitcases from airports. The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Police Department on Wednesday confirmed the development, which was first reported by Fox News. “The MWAA Police Department can confirm we returned the victim’s property and police retained photos of the evidence for prosecution. The case is still under adjudication and we cannot release more detailed information,” a spokesperson said.

http://youtu.be/0caDcCNXpb8 President Biden unexpectedly crossed himself Wednesday during a one-on-one meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in Midtown. The 80-year-old Roman Catholic president made the conspicuous hand gesture — touching his forehead, stomach and left and right breast area with his right hand — as the Jewish leader began speaking. “We’ve been friends for, I’ve checked it, over 40 years,” Netanyahu said, prompting Biden to make the sign of the cross in a possible joke about his own age. However, the president did not explain his action and the White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The sign of the cross dates to early Christianity and is often used as a self-blessing du...

http://youtu.be/tAoUfHwtGVc An animated retiree is going viral for his vivid impression of the moment a missing F-35 stealth jet crashed near his rural South Carolina home like “a meteorite” from “outer space.” Wearing a straw hat in his Williamsburg County front yard, Randolph White, 72, told a local NBC affiliate that he was “in the bathroom taking a shave” Sunday when a piercing noise filled the “nice and quiet and peaceful” area. “And I heard a screeching,” he recalled. “Between a screech and a whistle.” Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/09/20/south-carolina-retiree-goes-viral-for-impression-of-f-35-crash/ #southcarolina #f35 #crash The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, fashio...

http://youtu.be/6rewaBgZxbE Order in the court! Video shows a notorious judge, Vivian Polanía, getting a lap dance from a male stripper at a work party held inside a courthouse in Colombia. In the wild video, the dancer grinds on her and then feeds her a penis-shaped waffle. Polanía defended the after-hours event, which she paid for herself, as "lively" and not "sexually explicit." Last year, Polanía was suspended for three months for wearing inappropriate attire and smoking during a video hearing. She was also investigated in 2020 after sharing saucy snaps of herself in lingerie in order to get a clothing discount. Colombia's judicial oversight committee has ordered an investigation into this latest scandal. Read more at https://nypost.com/video/colombian-judge-vivian-polanias-raunchy...

http://youtu.be/Jwzcr_Ew3nU NY Post Senior Courts Reporter Ben Kochman breaks down the latest update on the Bronx daycare center incident where a toddler died from fentanyl exposure. The owner of the establishment has been hit with federal drug charges — with court papers unsealed Tuesday revealing she allegedly deleted more than 20,000 messages to her still-wanted husband and tipped him off that cops were looking for him. Grei Mendez De Ventura, the 36-year-old proprietor of Divino Niño Daycare, and her cousin-in-law, Carlisto Acevedo Brito, 41, used the façade of a child care center to cloak their true operation, a fentanyl drug mill, authorities have said. But as cops picked through the center following the Friday death of little Nicholas Feliz Dominici – a 1-year-old boy who cops ...

http://youtu.be/e6t5JQUjreE Former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson has alleged in her forthcoming book that Rudy Giuliani groped her backstage at the 45th president’s “Stop the Steal” rally on Jan. 6, 2021. Hutchinson, whose tome “Enough” is due out next week, recalled the encounter with the former mayor and Trump attorney shortly before then then-president’s supporters ransacked the Capitol and delayed the certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s 2020 election win. “‘By the way,’ he says, fingering the fabric, ‘I’m loving this leather jacket on you.’ His hand slips under my blazer, then my skirt,” Hutchinson writes, according to the Guardian.

http://youtu.be/NBzhA-t-q-o An unprecedented surge of 4,000 migrants streamed across the US border with Mexico in to Eagle Pass, Texas, on Wednesday — forcing the overwhelmed city to declare an emergency. Border patrol sources said they join approximately 7,500 other migrants who have handed themselves in over the last week. The surge is the largest since 15,000 Haitian immigrants camped out under the bridge in neighboring Del Rio, Texas, in September 2021, officials said. That incident resulted in a major humanitarian crisis. City Mayor Rolando Salinas said the mob, many of them from Venezuela, has overrun the Mission Border Hope shelter in the city, where asylum seekers are processed. “One of the situations is that a lot of these [migrants], they’re single males and they don’t want ...

http://youtu.be/nDqcGGCjJVY President 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 historic moment for Brazil and for the US,” the Brazilian leader asked. When he did not immediately respond, Lula again asked: “President Biden can you hear me?”...

http://youtu.be/7IXNslP8o8k Furious protesters screaming “Close the border” heckled Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Jerry Nadler and other Democrats Friday as they were holding a press conference on the Big Apple’s escalating migrant crisis. The New York pols were drowned out by the angry screams outside the Roosevelt Hotel mega-shelter in Midtown on Friday morning. “Send them back,” one man shouted as the chaotic scenes unfolded outside the city’s main migrant intake site.

http://youtu.be/1XMXgEUIdwo A jury acquitted three men Friday in the last trial connected to a plan to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a scheme that was portrayed as an example of homegrown terrorism on the eve of the 2020 presidential election. William Null, twin brother Michael Null and Eric Molitor were found not guilty of providing support for a terrorist act and a weapon charge. They were the last of 14 men to face charges in state or federal court. Nine were convicted and now five have been cleared. The Nulls and Molitor were accused of supporting leaders of the plan by participating in military-style drills and traveling to see Whitmer’s vacation home in northern Michigan. The key players, Adam Fox and Barry Croft Jr., were convicted of a kidnapping conspiracy last year in...

http://youtu.be/e-DooiLVpkk Cringe-inducing body camera footage shows an allegedly drunk stripper attempting to seduce an Ohio police officer — calling him a “handsome man” and telling the cop to tase her because she likes it “kinky” — during a chaotic hit-and-run arrest. The incident occurred in Brunswick, Ohio, back in April, but an edited video documenting the wild traffic stop was released on the YouTube channel Real Body Cams earlier this week, racking up more than a million views as of Friday. Grace Spoonamore, 20, was collared on April 30, after the blue Buick Enclave she was driving crashed into another car and took off in full view of a passing police officer. The cop followed the Buick, which was flagged for the owner having several felony warrants, and cornered the vehicle n...

http://youtu.be/_371Bcc2Y_o President Biden endorsed a United Auto Workers strike at manufacturing plants of the “big three” domestic car makers as the union demands a 40% pay raise and a 32-hour work week. “Over the last two — past decade, auto companies have seen record profits, including the last few years, because of the extraordinary skill and sacrifices of the UAW workers,” Biden, 80, said at the White House Friday, hours after the strike began. “Those record profits have not been shared fairly, in my view, with those workers.” Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/09/15/biden-backs-auto-union-in-strike-for-40-pay-hike-and-32-hour-week/ #joebiden #uaw #strike The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, rea...

http://youtu.be/TMEnAtBamzY Married Republican South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem has engaged in a years-long affair with longtime Donald Trump adviser Corey Lewandowski, multiple sources told The Post Friday. The two have been less-than-discreet about their relationship, with one source recalling them making out at a hotel bar during the 2021 Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando, Fla. “I remember it was so absurdly blatant and public,” said the person, who recalled Noem and Lewandowski getting “handsy” at the bar of the Hyatt Regency Orlando with between 100 and 200 others around.

http://youtu.be/BkVcMJt3G5o This puts the “high” in high calories. The Doritos corporation took TikTok’s viral cheese-pulling trend to new heights after lifting a giant nacho 50 feet in the air — setting a new world record. A clip of the amazing feat of length is currently blowing up online. “This is nacho everyday stunt,” Rob Pothier, senior marketing manager for the tortilla chip creators, told SWNS while describing the stunt in dangerously cheesy terms. “The cheese pull was an epic display of Doritos taking nachos to the next level. This is as gouda as it gets.” Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/09/15/worlds-highest-cheese-pull-as-chopper-lifts-nacho-49-feet/ #doritos #worldrecord #news The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business...

http://youtu.be/Q7UqnRjC34o WARNING: DISTRESSING CONTENT A Tennessee police officer went above and beyond the call of duty after performing emergency CPR on a baby that was moments away from death, as seen in a dramatic viral video. “Just don’t be the one to let this kid die, that’s what was going through my head,” hero officer Robert Baer told News Channel 5 of the incredible moment, which occurred on August 31 in Murfreesboro. A 911 dispatcher had received a distressing call at around 2 a.m. from a frantic couple, who claimed that their one-year-old boy Zaire Brown wasn’t breathing.

http://youtu.be/Vav7MGrvRZI The FBI has created a special unit to tackle the “unprecedented” number of threats to prosecutors and FBI agents involved in the Hunter Biden investigation, as they face criticism for not being tough enough on the first son. “We have stood up an entire threat unit to address threats that the FBI employee facilities are receiving,” Jennifer L. Moore, then an executive director of human resources for the FBI, told members of the House Judiciary Committee in June, according to a transcript reviewed by NBC News. The new unit would comprise 10 agents whose “sole mission on a daily basis” is to investigate “threats to FBI employees at facilities,” Moore said.

http://youtu.be/VmEa_PlPggk New video appears to vaporize Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert’s claim that “heavy fog machines” were to blame for the smoke that got her booted from a performance of “Beetlejuice” — with the footage seemingly showing her taking a hit from a vape pen. The Colorado GOP congresswoman was seen letting loose at the Sunday night show in Denver’s Buell Theater — with her Democratic date even appearing to fondle her breast, according to 9News, which obtained the footage. Tellingly, it appears to also clearly show her bringing an electronic cigarette to her lips and blowing out a plume of smoke, despite her denials that she was vaping. It also shows her being confronted by a pregnant woman sitting behind her, one who has since said she asked the firebrand politician to ...

http://youtu.be/lSOAGeiHNWM Mystery surrounds the whereabouts of China's Defense Minister Li Shangfu, who hasn't been seen in public for more than two weeks. Li abruptly pulled out of a meeting with Vietnamese defense leaders last week, Reuters has learned from three officials with direct knowledge of the matter. According to sources, the meeting on Vietnam's border with China was postponed after Beijing told Hanoi that the minister had a "health condition”. Chinese authorities, including the defense and foreign ministries, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Li's disappearance follows China's unexplained replacement of Foreign Minister Qin Gang in July after a prolonged absence from public view. It also comes after a recent shake-up of the leadership of the People'...

http://youtu.be/qKdXquO1-sE A bystander was seen jumping into action — saving a little girl from a fast-flowing river after she fell in. A seven-year-old girl fell into a river in Qingyuan City, Guangdong Province, China, on Sept. 11. The river was fast-flowing. Spotting what happened, an innocent bystander immediately took action and jumped down into the water. In a video, the man can be seen swimming toward the girl, who looks to be face down in the water. He then proceeds to grab the girl and swim back to bring her out of the water. Once they were both out of the water, the girl could be seen standing with a backpack on her back.

http://youtu.be/A3eFIOxtDVE They’re offering bootleg online courses in robbery. The nationwide shoplifting epidemic could soon get a whole lot worse: As if looters weren’t acting brazen enough of late, self-proclaimed “borrowers” are now taking to the platform to teach aspiring criminals how follow suit, per the clips. The hashtag “borrow tip and tricks” has amassed 8.9 billion of views on TikTok amid the uptick in brazen theft, spawned by increasingly lax looting laws and “revolving door” bail reforms.

http://youtu.be/SSEKY9-C1JE Kim Jong Un checked out Moscow’s hypersonic missiles, nuclear bomber jets and a warship Saturday during a trip to Russia that sparked concern in the West over a budding alliance between North Korea and Vladimir Putin amid the ongoing war in Ukraine, though the top U.S. general responded by downplaying the potential impact the two countries might have. Kim traveled to an airport in the eastern Russian port city of Vladivostok, where Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and other top Russian military officials gave him a tour of Russia’s warplanes, including the Tu-160, Tu-95 and Tu-22 bombers that have been regularly launching cruise missiles in Ukraine. Shoigu, flanked by Lt. Gen. Sergei Kobylash, the commander of Russia’s longe-range bomber unit, reportedly told K...

http://youtu.be/KIC1GaEn2QA A Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy was killed when he was ambushed and shot in the head while sitting in his patrol car Saturday — four days after he had become engaged, police said. Deputy Ryan Clinkunbroomer, 30, was discovered unconscious outside the Palmdale sheriff’s station at approximately 6 p.m., Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said during a press conference late Saturday. Clinkunbroomer was rushed nearly 10 miles away to Antelope Valley Medical Center in Lancaster, where he was listed in critical condition before he succumbed to his injury. “I’m assuming at this point because he was in uniform. That, to me, is sickening,” Luna said. The gunman remains at large as of Sunday morning. Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/09/17/la-sheriff-de...

http://youtu.be/NQVG_SBJng0 Republican presidential candidate Gov. Ron DeSantis and other conservative critics took aim at former president Donald Trump for hedging this week on the explosive issue of transgenderism — and refusing to give a clear answer on whether he believes it’s possible to change one’s sex . Trump responded with a long-drawn-out “Ummm” and an uncomfortable laugh when host Megyn Kelly, in a Thursday interview on her “The Megyn Kelly Show” on Sirius XM, asked: “Can a man become a woman?” “In my opinion,” he finally said, shaking his head slightly, “you have a man, you have a woman.” “I, I, I think part of it is birth,” he continued. “Can the man give birth? No.” But he seemed to leave the door open on that criterion. “They’ll come up with some answer to that also s...
