http://youtu.be/Ksnd0W466KQ Wild video shows an elderly motorist repeatedly crashing his car into Louisiana businesses before racing away in a panic. The unidentified 78-year-old man was trying to park for an appointment at Babin Physical Therapy in Kenner Tuesday when he suddenly sped forward and damaged a column, police told WDSU. A bystander then filmed as he jumped a curb and turned around — speeding backward straight into the adjoining Optical shop. The footage showed the badly damaged white sedan speeding away with its front bumper missing and the rear one barely hanging on. Miraculously, no one was injured in the incident. Police said the driver may have suffered from a medical episode because he was disoriented and unable to answer their questions. Read more at https://nypos...

http://youtu.be/gZlDj0F6D38 The estranged wife of suspected Gilgo Beach killer Rex Heuermann is battling spreading skin and breast cancer, and her insurance is about to run out because she was covered by his policy, The Post has learned. Asa Ellerup, 59, of Massapequa Park on Long Island, has fought the disease for several years and now needs about 12 to 18 months more of treatment, family lawyer Robert Macedonio said Friday. But she got her medical insurance through Heuermann, her husband of 27 years — and it will only continue as long as his Manhattan architecture business can cover the premiums, the lawyer said. That gives her about two months’ more coverage, Macedonio said. “That’s a big fear and stress on her on top of all this other stuff that’s going on,” the lawyer said. Read...

http://youtu.be/92Cvt_JffYY President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will not travel to Maui in the aftermath of the devastating wildfires because they “don’t want to distract” from the ongoing rescue efforts, the VP said today – while at least 1,000 people remain unaccounted for. “We don’t want to distract from the resources that need to go in to the victims of this tragedy, and of course the needs of the first responders have to be able to focus on that issue and not worry about focusing on us [because] we’re there,” Harris told reporters before boarding Air Force Two for Chicago Friday, CSPAN reported. “We are coordinating federal resources to swiftly get there to support the work in terms of recovery, but to just support the folks on the ground. It is tragic,” Harris noted, ...

http://youtu.be/uTA6jiVzZbg Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Friday that Delaware US Attorney David Weiss would be given special counsel authority in the ongoing Hunter Biden investigation — raising fears among Republicans that the Justice Department was executing a bait-and-switch to hide the truth about the first family’s influence-peddling. In a brief midday statement, Garland said Weiss had asked for special counsel authority Tuesday, with the AG agreeing due to “the extraordinary circumstances relating to this matter.” Meanwhile, in a Friday filing with Wilmington US District Court, prosecutors said talks with Hunter’s legal team about a potential guilty plea to federal tax misdemeanors and a felony weapons charge were “at an impasse.” “The Government now believes that ...

http://youtu.be/yY8_tKB5e1M Squatters have trashed a multi-million dollar mansion in the Hollywood Hills, filling it with garbage, feces and graffiti – including a large message reading “f–k rich people.” The LAPD was called to the 11,000-square-foot “Villa Allegra” on Thursday afternoon with a report of “a woman screaming for help, windows breaking and a bar hitting the ground,” a spokesperson told The Post. Officers cited a man and two women at the scene and called in an air unit to search for others seen fleeing the once-resplendent Sunset Plaza Drive property. “They’re just trespassing, squatting,” an LAPD officer told KTLA 5, which was at the scene at the time. “The screaming was somebody, I think they got bit by a dog.” The 11,000-square-foot home, once listed for more than $10 ...

http://youtu.be/UDQcQgTMa-E Indicted FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried was hauled off to jail Friday after a federal judge revoked the fallen crypto king’s bail for allegedly leaking his ex-girlfriend’s love letters. US District Judge Lewis Kaplan sided with federal prosecutors who argued that Bankman-Fried had jeopardized his upcoming trial by leaking the personal writings of his former lover and business associate Caroline Ellison to a New York Times reporter. Kaplan determined there was probable cause to believe Bankman-Fried had tried to “tamper with witnesses at least twice” since his December arrest for fraud. Bankman-Fried’s defense attorney Mark Cohen said his team would appeal the incarceration order. Kaplan rejected the defense’s request for an immediate stay pending the outcome ...

http://youtu.be/6mVOAUr5xYI The Texas marketing executive behind the viral “that mother f–ker is not real” plane meltdown continued her tirade in the terminal, threatening cops and insisting the plane was going to explode once it took off. Police bodycam footage obtained by The Post shows how tearful Tiffany Gomas, 38, refused to leave the boarding area after being escorted off the jet bridge so the American Airlines flight from Dallas to Orlando could take off. Visibly upset, she continued to stare at the plane out of the window and refused to leave, adamant it would not complete its scheduled journey on July 2.

http://youtu.be/yruMcvX57tE A devastating firestorm has reduced many homes to ashes in Lahaina, a popular island tourist destination in Hawaii. On Tuesday, brushfires fueled by high winds quickly spread and engulfed Lahaina on Maui’s western side. The wall of flames is to blame for the death of at least 80 individuals, with a significant number of those remains discovered in Lahaina, government officials said at last check. It makes it one of the deadliest disasters in the US state’s history. Lahaina residents have slowly been allowed to return but forced to wait hours in their vehicles parked on the main road into town before entering the fire zone due to a nightfall curfew.

http://youtu.be/A8Le6DMHO6I The Washington Post’s fact-checking department has yet again quietly updated — rather than corrected — its most-read story, which contained glaring errors about first son Hunter Biden’s laptop and an infamous dinner involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and Burisma executive Vadym Pozharskyi. Glenn Kessler, the paper’s chief fact-checker, has made six updates and authored an entirely new article about The Post’s bombshell reports in October 2020 and May 2021 that revealed Hunter Biden introduced his father to Pozharskyi at Café Milano in Georgetown months after joining the natural gas firm’s board. The initial fact check relied on statements from Andrew Bates — then a spokesman for the Biden campaign and now deputy White House press secretary — and Michael ...

http://youtu.be/sn_q5S4GX8A President Biden unexpectedly told an audience in New Mexico Wednesday that he has “hibernated” in the past, an apparent joke that resurrected memories of former President Donald Trump bestowing the unflattering nickname during the 2020 election campaign. “Siemens Corporation laid off workers who were making wind turbine parts and put the plant in Iowa and Kansas into what they now call, they refer to as ‘hibernation’,” Biden said at a wind-tower plant in Albuquerque. “I hibernated in a while — all, you know, in Iowa for a while,” he said to a smattering of chuckles. “But look, now we’re reopening both these plants and rehiring workers.” Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/08/09/i-hibernated-biden-tells-new-mexico-audience/ #joebiden #newmexico The New Y...

http://youtu.be/iAwQXU0Js_M New York City Mayor Eric Adams convened a pair of news conferences Wednesday (August 9) to present in stark terms the crisis facing the city as a result of the influx of migrants. He went on to request help from both state and federal authorities. "We are past our breaking point," Adams said. "We are facing an unprecedented state of emergency." According to Adams, some 100,000 migrants have arrived in New York City and have resulted in $12 billion in additional city spending. And while Adams underscored the gravity of the migrants situation in the city, he also sounded a note of embrace. "We would never just slam the door of opportunity," he said. #ericadams #migrants #nyc The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, b...

The killing comes amid a startling wave of violence in the South American nation, with drug trafficking and violent killings on the rise. “I assure you that this crime will not go unpunished,” Lasso said in a statement. “Organized crime has gone too far, but they will feel the full weight of the law.” Videos on social media appear to show the candidate walking out of the event surrounded by guards.

http://youtu.be/IwzzaNHb-ts Republican presidential candidate Mike Pence was ridiculed online after he posted a campaign video at a gas station where he unlatched a gas nozzle and seemingly pretended to pump gas into a pickup truck. The former vice president uploaded the video to X, formerly known as Twitter, to bash the Biden administration for the steep cost of gas. The clip has been viewed more than three million times. “Remember $2 gallon gas? I do,” Pence tells the camera as he removes the nozzles and places it inside the filler of the red truck. “And then Joe Biden became president of the United States and launched his war on energy.” Commenters, however, appeared to be more focused on Pence’s poor acting than recalling the lower prices. “Never used a gas pump before?” one perso...

http://youtu.be/3Pq8YJoZAhY A Target shoplifter who successfully stole a television, only to return it and steal a more expensive one, pleaded that he didn’t want to “go to jail” as Atlanta police chased him down outside the store. Police received a call around 5:30 p.m. on Aug. 7 that a brazen shoplifter was trying to steal a television from Target located in Northeast Atlanta. A Target security guard flagged down arriving officers to inform them the male suspect was still inside the store. “The security guard advised a suspect had stolen one television from the store and returned moments later to take another,” police said. As officers began to search for the suspect, they encountered the man leaving the store with the television placed on top of the shopping cart. The suspect, wea...

http://youtu.be/fe0tXitPd80 he Maryland mom of five found dead on a hiking trail over the weekend was naked and beaten so brutally that the right side of her face “was gone,” the stepfather of the friend who discovered her remains said. “[Morin] was laying on her back, fully naked, and she had brutal head trauma…it looked like her head had been smashed in with a rock,” Michael Gabriszeski told the Daily Mail of the harrowing moment his stepdaughter, Cecilia, found her 37-year-old friend in a drain tunnel on the Ma & Pa Heritage Trail in Bel Air Sunday afternoon. “There was a 15 to 20-foot blood trail. So, it looked like she had been beaten and dragged into that position,” Gabriszeski continued. “It looked like [the killer] was trying to erase her identity…the right side of her face...

Simon Patterson was on the guest list for ex-wife Erin Patterson’s July 29 lunch that ended with his parents and sister dying and his brother-in-law in critical condition, according to The Herald Sun.

http://youtu.be/doaKiAj75-s Deadly wildfires in Hawaii this week were fanned by strong winds from Hurricane Dora, destroying numerous structures and sending people fleeing into the ocean. Residents and visitors in the Upcountry and Lahaina areas of West Maui were forced to evacuate, with some escaping the smoke and flames by running into the ocean. Maui County officials said Tuesday that the U.S. Coast Guard rescued those people, and transported them to “safe areas.” Maui County Mayor Richard T. Bissen issued an emergency proclamation on Tuesday, and multiple evacuation orders were in place.

All day yesterday, I was bombarded with endless heartbreaking and tearful phone calls from loved ones all while trying to sort out this mess.” Tay went on, “My Instagram account was compromised by a third party and used to spread jarring misinformation and rumors regarding me, to the point that even my name was wrong.

http://youtu.be/oZagEsI3hrQ A team of lifeguards in Florida were captured on drone video over the weekend forming a human chain to rescue a boogie boarder from a rip current that was pulling him out into the ocean. Joe Osborne was on break from his job at a tattoo parlor in Flagler Beach when he decided to fly his drone over the ocean and captured the lifeguards in action. “I was actually kind of impressed,” Osborne told FOX35 Orlando. “It was definitely a rehearsed thing … with their buoys and their lines, and they use them in unison. Very impressive. I thought it was very neat.” The video shows a man on a boogie board who appeared to have drifted far from shore. One lifeguard begins towing the man toward shore as three other lifeguards swim out to meet them. Read more at https://ny...

Two residents who were in the heart of the city of Lahaina during the fires which killed at least 36 people described the chaos as a literal ‘hell’ with screams and explosions around them as flames closed in until they had nowhere else to go but the ocean. “I saw a couple people just running, I heard screams out of hell … explosions. It felt like we were in hell, it really was,” one of the men, who asked not to be named, told KHON2. “It was just indescribable.” Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/08/10/hawaii-turns-into-hell-with-residents-forced-into-the-water-over-...

http://youtu.be/AspVHWDiCzE Russia is scheduled to launch its first mission to the moon in nearly 50 years on Friday, pitting it in a space race with India which is also aiming to land a lunar craft this month. The launch of the Luna-25 craft to the moon will be Russia’s first since 1976 when it was part of the Soviet Union and will be conducted without assistance from the European Space Agency, which ended cooperation with Russia after its invasion of Ukraine. The Russian lunar lander is expected to reach the moon on Aug. 23, about the same day as an Indian craft which was launched on July 14. Both countries’ modules are headed for the lunar south pole, an area where no spacecraft has landed smoothly. Only three governments have managed successful moon landings: the Soviet Union, the...
