http://youtu.be/Q7shFXOpkaA Sen. Joe Manchin said Thursday he is “thinking seriously” about leaving the Democratic Party and registering as an independent. “I’m thinking seriously. For me, I have to have peace of mind, basically. The brand has become so bad. The ‘D’ brand and ‘R’ brand,” Manchin (D-WV) told Mountain State radio host Hoppy Kercheval. “You’ve heard me say a million times, I am not a Washington Democrat.” Manchin, 75, has battled with President Biden in recent months over energy policy, accusing his administration of “ignoring” provisions to expand domestic fossil fuels in the Inflation Reduction Act — which he co-sponsored and helped pass. The senator also threatened to block nominees for the Environmental Protection Agency to protest Biden’s “radical climate agenda” fol...

http://youtu.be/xtz0qhkJvYM WASHINGTON – Former President Donald Trump and co-defendant Walt Nauta pleaded not guilty on Thursday to additional charges filed last month in the federal classified document case against them. While Trump, 77, did not appear at the courthouse in Fort Pierce, Fla., Nauta entered his plea in person before US Magistrate Judge Shaniek Maynard. The 45th president’s attorney, Todd Blanche, entered the not guilty plea on Trump’s behalf.

http://youtu.be/BKw2LKknEkA U.S. President Donald Trump blasted charges of plotting to overturn the 2020 election loss as "fake", one day after his arraignment in Washington DC. The former president faces four counts, including conspiracy to defraud the U.S., to deprive citizens of their voting rights, and to obstruct an official proceeding. The most serious charge carries a maximum prison sentence of 20 years.

http://youtu.be/xdzysYx97gU Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was drowned out by jeers and chants of “retire” during a speech in Kentucky Saturday, just days after the Republican lawmaker froze up midsentence at an event. While speaking at the Fancy Farm picnic, one of his home state’s main political events, the 81-year-old Republican received some positive cheers before getting drowned out by an angry crowd screaming “Shame on you,” “Ditch Mitch,” “Retire” and “Lost the Senate.” “This is my 28th Fancy Farm, and I want to assure you it’s not my last,” McConnell said at the top of his breakfast speech, only vaguely addressing the overarching concerns about his health. McConnell, seemingly unbothered, continued with his speech without acknowledging the hostile reception and repeated...

http://youtu.be/aluCiWgNQpw The boyfriend of teenage runaway Alicia Navarro became more “aggressive and angry” over the last two years before being canned by Walmart, a former co-worker told The Post. Eddie Davis, 36, lost his job as a night time stocker after he hurled “angry comments” toward other employees, the former colleague said this week. “He would call younger guys names and stuff. I’m not sure of the names. He was being very aggressive,” said the coworker, who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the press. Davis had been living with Navarro, now 18, for at least a year in a Havre apartment, neighbors said, before the pair fled to the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation this week. The husky, bearded man was seen with Navarro in exclusive photos snap...

http://youtu.be/Zhv3-U2RzzU Two firefighting helicopters working to extinguish a brush fire in California collided mid-air Sunday, killing all three onboard one of them that crashed, according to officials. One of the helicopters manage to land safely after the crash at the scene of a fire on 20 acres of Native American land in Cabazon, Cal Fire Southern Region Chief David Fulcher said at a press conference early Monday. “Unfortunately, the second helicopter crashed and tragically all three members perished, which included one Cal Fire Division chief, one Cal Fire captain and one contract client pilot,” Fulcher said, without further identifying the victims. The crash caused an additional 4-acre fire, which was extinguished, officials said. “Although this was a tragic event, we are als...

http://youtu.be/gdqUXXUxyJQ Passengers traveling with Iraqi Airways from Dubai to Baghdad were left roaring mad after their flight was delayed because of a bear that had broken out of its crate in the cargo hold. The bizarre incident occurred Friday, leaving the flight stranded on the tarmac at Dubai International Airport while animal specialists were called in to sedate and remove the rogue bear. A video shared by the United Arab Emirates newspaper The National appeared to show the furry predator walking around the plane’s cargo compartment. A man is seen reaching his hand into the hold and petting the large animal on the head. The species of the bear was not immediately identified. Another recording circulating on social media showed the plane’s captain apologizing to passengers for...

http://youtu.be/fINpGI06-a8 Donald Trump directed an unhinged tirade at the US Women’s National Soccer Team, blaming its unexpected early exit from the World Cup on a culture of wokeness under “Crooked Joe Biden” — while savagely trolling Megan Rapinoe over the loss. The US fell out of the Women’s World Cup Sunday after losing to Sweden 5-4 in a penalty shootout during a pivotal Round 16 match — the team’s earliest-ever exit from the tournament. “The ‘shocking and totally unexpected’ loss by the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team to Sweden is fully emblematic of what is happening to our once great Nation under Crooked Joe Biden,” Trump, 77, gleefully wrote on Truth Social. “Many of our players were openly hostile to America – No other country behaved in such a manner, or even close,” he continue...

http://youtu.be/JPfrkBasN-M Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis doubled down on his criticism of GOP 2024 frontrunner Donald Trump over the former president’s claims the 2020 election was “stolen”, saying flatly that “he lost” and “Joe Biden’s the president.” “Yes or no: Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?” NBC News correspondent Dasha Burns asked in a clip from an exclusive interview that aired Sunday. “Whoever puts their hand on the Bible on Jan. 20 every four years is the winner,” replied DeSantis, 44, before reiterating his issues with the way the last presidential election was run. “But respectfully, you did not clearly answer that question,” Burns pressed. “And if you can’t give a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ on whether or not he lost —” “No, of course he lost,” the Florida governor said. “Joe Bide...

http://youtu.be/6if_8hDx5yU A 25-year-old missing boater was rescued Saturday morning after aimlessly floating on his partially submerged boat 12 miles off the Florida coast for over 24 hours, the US Coast Guard said. In a press release, the U.S. Coast Guard’s (USCG) Southeast district said that they began searching for Charles Gregory on Friday evening, after he was last seen leaving a boat ramp in St. Augustine, Florida, aboard a 12-foot Jon boat Thursday. His family contacted officials after the experienced boater failed to return by nightfall. The USCG, St. Augustine Police Department and other partner agencies used a HC-130 Hercules airplane, a MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter and two response boats to search for the missing man in the Atlantic Ocean. On Saturday morning, an HC-130 Hercu...

http://youtu.be/03GYrUT3ozA Disgraced FBI agent Charles McGonigal — who investigated the Trump campaign’s alleged ties to Moscow in 2016 — is slated to take a guilty plea in the case accusing him of illegally working for a Russian oligarch. “The court has been informed that defendant Charles McGonigal may wish to enter a change of plea,” Manhattan federal Judge Jennifer Rearden wrote in a brief order filed Monday, scheduling a hearing for Aug. 15. McGonigal, 54, — a former top FBI counterintelligence agent based in New York — was indicted in January on charges including money laundering and violating US sanctions by working for Russian billionaire and business magnate Oleg Deripaska, including trying to get him taken off of the US sanctions list. McGonigal was legally required to repor...

http://youtu.be/LmIXhNn18S8 American scientists have for the first time managed to reach — and then improve on — a longtime goal of nuclear research. Twice in under a year, researchers at California’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have managed to trigger a fusion reaction resulting in a net energy gain, or producing more power than was used to fuel the experiment. Their accomplishment represents an unprecedented “ignition” of the zero-carbon energy source that physicists have been trying to tap into since World War II. As a power source, nuclear fusion far surpasses its controversial counterpart, nuclear fission. The latter produces as a byproduct dangerous waste that lingers for thousands of years. The US Department of Energy described the laboratory’s work as “a major scien...

http://youtu.be/nfUTbffLy7A At least two homes in Juneau, Alaska, have collapsed into a raging river after a glacial collapse triggered flooding and a state of emergency at the capital. Harrowing video capture by local resident Sam Nolan shows the Mendenhall River eating away at the shoreline until an entire two-story home plunges into the water. The TikTok video opens with the river taking out a tree near the shore, with the house barely visible behind all the trees and foliage on Saturday. The video then speeds up to show the entire greenery slowly succumbing to the flooding river until the house is the only thing left standing at the edge before it, too, eventually crashes into the water. A nearby, three-story building can be seen about to experience the same fate as its foundation...

http://youtu.be/F0u3jBkwxDg A suspected bike thief in California was seen pausing his alleged crime to pet and cuddle with the victim’s golden retriever, surveillance footage of the home shows. “In a rather peculiar turn of events, as the suspect was about to make his escape, he paused to pet the household dog who had entered the garage,” the San Diego Police Department posted on its Facebook page. An unidentified male entered a garage at a home in San Diego’s Pacific Beach neighborhood at about 10:40 p.m. on July 15 to reportedly steal a pricey 2019 black Electra 3-speed bicycle, which has an estimated cost of $1,300, according to police. “This isn’t your average bike; it’s distinct, featuring ‘8-ball’ caps on the tire valves, an ‘8-ball’ logo on the frame, and a rear wheel frame mar...

http://youtu.be/u1K6GAlKZcU Archaeologists have found the remains of a so-called “vampire child” dating back to the 1600s in a Pień, Poland, cemetery. The skeletal scraps were estimated to be from a child approximately aged between 5 to 7 years old. The remains were discovered lying face down with a triangular padlock attached to one of its feet. Archaeologist Dariusz Poliński from the University of Nicolaus Copernicus recently gave some insight into his exploration and why the corpse was bonded to the lock.

http://youtu.be/6dXbOUPASww Niger closed its airspace on Sunday until further notice, citing the threat of military intervention from the West African regional bloc, after leaders of its recent coup rejected a deadline to reinstate the country’s ousted president. Data shown in an animation from flight tracking website flightradar24.com showed that no aircraft were flying over Niger after the announcement. The junta’s military spokesperson on Sunday claimed that the Economic Community of West African States, or ECOWAS, together with “a foreign power” and “armed terrorist groups” was preparing to attack Niger. “Despite the disapproval of the people of Niger and of ECOWAS of any military intervention in Niger, the planning of this war has been carried out. Pre-deployment of forces to take...

http://youtu.be/eFOCTQNyMG4 A 7-year-old boy in Brazil died after playing in a mountain of limestone powder left by the side of the road, which apparently poisoned him after he inhaled it. The tragic final photo of little Arthur Emanuel Bitencourt shows him giving a double thumbs-up while sitting in a pile of the fateful substance, which is commonly used in construction and agriculture, just minutes before it took his life on Aug. 3. The boy was rushed to the hospital, but was pronounced dead on arrival. Arthur reportedly jumped into the toxic dust at a family property in Ipiranga, Paraná, in the South Region of Brazil, according to Jornal Razão. Medics said Arthur’s sudden death was a result of breathing in the powder, local media reported. His family posted his final picture on soc...

http://youtu.be/wK3ouJzcuLo An incensed woman has been filmed hurling a traffic cone at an L-plate driver in an expletive-laden road rage incident in Western Australia. It’s understood the bizarre outburst took place at an intersection on a busy road in Victoria Park in central Perth over the weekend. Footage of the interaction, shared to TikTok, begins with the woman marching down a roadside footpath while screaming abuse at the car. She continues to scream “f*** you” as she storms down the road in front of standstill traffic, before pretending to peg her handbag in the direction of the car. She then reaches for an orange traffic cone placed under a street sign to her right and throws it at the car. Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/08/07/woman-hurls-traffic-cone-at-young-driver-...

http://youtu.be/i3eh6V00jQo Sobering video shows dozens of migrants sleeping on cardboard outside the iconic Roosevelt Hotel in Midtown Manhattan on Monday (July 31) morning — as the makeshift processing center for asylum seekers hit capacity this weekend. The slumbering newly arrived migrants could be seen filling the sidewalks surrounding the historic hotel at 45th Street and Vanderbilt Avenue, stretching from the hotel door up East 47th Street. The group slept shoulder-to-shoulder across three full blocks while waiting to be processed at the site, which also houses migrant families, as NYPD officers monitored the situation. Heartbreaking images showed crowd-control ropes separating the migrants from passersby, as those waiting for access to proper shelter huddled under blankets wit...

http://youtu.be/EJybrkvohRk Former D.C. Metropolitan police officer and CNN analyst Michael Fanone claimed Tuesday’s federal indictment of former President Donald Trump in relation to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot made him feel the exact same way he felt when the U.S. military “killed Osama bin Laden.” Fanone, who was present at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 and who has testified before the U.S. House select committee investigating the riot that day, told CNN host Laura Coates on Tuesday he believed that Trump’s actions surrounding the event were “absolutely” comparable to bin Laden’s terror attack against the U.S. on 9/11. Fanone’s words seemed to perturb Coates, who paused and admitted to the former law enforcement officer that his statement was an “eyebrow-raising” one. The segment oc...

Ersilia Campbell walked into an Aurora Target store with her face smeared in dark makeup earlier this week, a video obtained by TMZ shows. “Lester Holt did ‘whiteface’ and nobody said s–t,” Campbell can be heard telling an employee who confronted her about the offensive face paint.

http://youtu.be/bOyIn9wJhEk The former University of Arizona grad student accused of killing a professor made a chilling confession after police walked out of his interrogation, according to newly released video. Murad Dervish, 47, was filmed muttering to himself when detectives took a break from grilling him last year over the fatal shooting of Professor Thomas Meixner hours earlier. “Well, at least I fulfilled my mission,” Dervish says with an apparent sinister smile. Because the apparent confession was made after the suspect was read his Miranda rights, the statement will likely be used in court for prosecutors to establish premeditation in the Oct. 5, 2022 murder of the U of A professor, CBS 5 reported. Meixner, 52, the school’s head of the Department of Hydrology and Atmospheric ...

President Biden largely ignored his press pool while taking another leisurely bike ride Thursday morning, shouting a one-word answer to a CNN photographer who asked if he would be following his predecessor’s arraignment on federal charges in connection with the aftermath of the 2020 election. “Mr. President, will you be following the arraignment today, sir?” asked cameraman Jay McMichael as the commander-in-chief cycled toward him along a path in Rehoboth Beach, Del.

Daniel Greene’s 3-year-old daughter, Carter Greene, was pronounced dead Sunday at the Medical University of South Carolina following the single-car crash, the Colleton County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) said Tuesday.

http://youtu.be/RBnPPRWjnLs Former President Donald Trump was arraigned in Washington, DC, federal court Thursday for allegedly trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Trump, 77, surrendered to law enforcement and pleaded not guilty to a four-count indictment from the Justice Department for disrupting the peaceful transfer of power with his “stolen” election claims that culminated in the storming of the US Capitol building by hundreds of his supporters on Jan. 6, 2021. Special counsel Jack Smith charged the former president with conspiracy to defraud the US government, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding and conspiracy against rights. The indictment states Trump made “knowingly false” claims about the...
