http://youtu.be/NS5KnjSV9ew Accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann appeared in a Long Island courtroom Tuesday with a stone face and a chilling gaze — as prosecutors dumped a “massive amount” of evidence on his lap. Suffolk County prosecutors said the brief court appearance is just the beginning of what promises to be a lengthy criminal case, with Heuermann’s lawyers handed eight terabytes of evidence to review. “This is a 13-year case, so as you see we have a great deal of information, evidence, photographs, reports to provide to the defense counsel,” Suffolk DA Raymond Tierney told reporters outside the courthouse. “We’ve begun that process. And that’s just the beginning,” he said. “We’re gonna continue to do that on a rolling basis.” Heuermann, 59, is charged with murder i...

http://youtu.be/bDLgBTVANYg A Boston police officer was injured after he was seen on video taking a violent ride down a giant metal slide at City Hall Plaza. The cop’s tumultuous tumble was filmed from the foot of the steep new slide and has since gone viral on social media. Loud banging noises, which sound like a pair of shoes rocking in the dryer, can be heard from inside the twisted tube before the cop suddenly appears at the opening of the slide feet first on his stomach. He straddles the edge of the slide and bangs his head on the other side before he’s launched onto the rubber surface at the bottom, losing his handcuffs and other items from his belt as he skids to a stop, the video shows. “Oh f—k,” the stunned cop says as he slowly gets to his feet before the clip cuts off. A la...

http://youtu.be/LsXVU6kjvQ4 Vice President Kamala Harris slapped down Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ invite to hash out their curriculum spat. “Extremists attempt to divide our nation with unnecessary debates. But I have news for them: We will not be distracted — and we will not be deterred,” Harris tweeted Tuesday. “There is no roundtable, no lecture, no invitation we will accept to debate the undeniable fact: There were no redeeming qualities to slavery.” Last month, Harris, the nation’s first black vice president, attended a church convention on DeSantis’ home turf and publicly denounced the state’s updated curriculum on African American studies, which features lessons on the “benefits” of slavery. “They want to replace history with lies,” Harris said at the time. “Middle school studen...

http://youtu.be/YOBHJh8FR6M Former President Donald Trump was indicted Tuesday in connection with his attempts to overturn the 2020 election result, with federal prosecutors charging he made “knowingly false” claims of voter fraud in a desperate bid to stay in power after his defeat by Joe Biden. The third indictment brought in four months against Trump, 77, consists of four counts — conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding and conspiracy against rights. The 45th president faces up to 55 years in prison if convicted on all charges. However, even if found guilty, Trump can still contest the 2024 presidential election, in which he’s the frontrunner for the Republican nomination a...

http://youtu.be/At1Uuft0pNA A former Boston high school principal is charged with misusing nearly $40,000 in school funds for personal use, including two luxurious all-inclusive vacation trips to Barbados. Naia Wilson, who served as New Mission High School’s headmaster for 13 years, admitted to authorities she committed wire fraud totaling approximately $38,806 in the elaborate scheme, according to a DOJ press release on Tuesday. The 60-year-old educator allegedly started requesting checks from the school’s external fiscal agent account to be issued under other individuals’ names from September 2006 until May 2019. The New Mission School is an inclusive, portfolio-based pilot school program that serves grades 7-12, according to its website. A pilot school budget like New Mission’s is ...

http://youtu.be/mxZ2BWXd43c They’re on opposite ends of the political spectrum — and now exes Dave and Lynn Aronberg are on opposing sides in sports, too. Lynn — a former Miami Dolphins cheerleader, and the ex-wife of the State Attorney for Palm Beach County, Fla. — has shifted her NFL allegiance, in part to seemingly spite her Dolphins-loving former hubby. Lynn and another former Dolphins cheerleader, Lilly Robbins, have launched a new partnership with the Jets to promote Game Time Watches, as the brand’s publicists.

http://youtu.be/ZfM6u_pdS74 Surveillance video captured the young Goldman Sachs analyst leaving a concert at Brooklyn Mirage shortly before he went missing Saturday — three days before his body was pulled from the waters of Newtown Creek. John Castic, 27, is seen in the footage posted by WPIX wearing a light-colored floral shirt and khaki pants as he walks past a pizza-vending vehicle on the night he vanished after he left the Bushwick nightclub. The Lower Manhattan resident disappeared about 3 a.m. after a performance by electronic music group Zeds Dead, according to police and his pal Sara Kostecka.

http://youtu.be/eO-5R1dx9tM Joe Rogan suggested that the Jan. 6 Capitol riot was a set-up by the US government’s intelligence agencies to take down former President Donald Trump. “The Jan. 6 thing is bad, but also, the intelligence agencies were involved in provoking people into the Capitol building. That’s a fact,” the controversial podcaster said during a nearly three-hour episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” on Friday. Rogan also speculated that a 61-year-old man named Ray Epps — who found himself at the center of conspiracy theories surrounding the attack after videos showed him breaching Capitol grounds — could have been a federal agent. “I think that every other person who was involved in Jan. 6 — who was involved in coordinating a break-in into the Capitol and then instigating ...

http://youtu.be/COzR9IOXhxQ A 19-year-old woman called on Congress to halt gender-reassignment therapies and surgeries for minors Thursday, saying that her “childhood was ruined” by the medical interventions. “I used to believe that I was born in the wrong body,” Chloe Cole told members of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government. “And the adults in my life, whom I trusted, affirmed my belief, and this caused me lifelong, irreversible harm.” “I speak to you today as a victim of one of the biggest medical scandals in the history of the United States of America,” Cole went on. “I speak to you in the hope that you will have the courage to bring the scandal to an end and ensure that other vulnerable teenagers, children and young adults, don’t go through wh...

http://youtu.be/-H0og1xDnNA North Korea's capital Pyongyang has celebrated what it calls “Victory Day" with an extravagant military display. Russian and Chinese officials attended the event, which exhibited the country’s banned ballistic missiles and new attack drones - including Moscow's defense minister, who is visiting the country for the first time since 1991. State TV showed leader Kim Jong Un at the center of proceedings - which marked 70 years since the end of the Korean war. The appearance of Russian and Chinese officials at events with the North's nuclear missiles marked a contrast with previous years, when Beijing and Moscow sought to distance themselves from their neighbor's nuclear weapons and ballistic missile development. North Korean nukes are also banned by the United ...

http://youtu.be/NBQkIAwHkXI A Texas mom was caught in harrowing video using her 14-year-old daughter as a “human shield” after a high-speed police chase — and even shouting at cops to “shoot” them, according to officials. Houston-area police initially thought theft suspect Tenescha Selena Henry, 35, was holding a crying hostage in a chokehold during the July 20 standoff and were shocked the girl was actually her daughter. “At that point, I 100% believed that we had a hostage situation,” Deputy A. Peters told KTRK. “I distinctly remember her at times saying, ‘Shoot! Shoot me! Shoot us!'” the deputy said of the mom. “To put your own family member, not to mention your daughter, right in front of that potential danger is just kind of crazy to me.” Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/07/2...

http://youtu.be/HTuGim_voRw If you need to perform a CT scan on a nearly 400-pound sick alligator, you better make it snappy. That is what veterinarians at the University of Florida’s College of Veterinary Medicine had to do this week when faced with a hulking patient named Brooke. The 376-pound alligator living at St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park was brought in for tests after displaying intermittent head-rolling and other symptoms in the lagoon where he’s lived for nearly 20 years. As part of the veterinary exam, the scaly patient was tied to a board and had his eyes covered with a towel to sprare him any street while Dr. Bridget Walker drew his blood. Photos shared by the college on its Facebook page Thursday showed Walker bravely straddling the giant reptile while a ma...

http://youtu.be/v5b5m8o23KQ A terrifying video from Sicily, Italy, shows the nail-biting moments a mother and daughter were surrounded by smoke and flames from a raging wildfire while driving Monday. The video, which was recorded by Centamore Natalia Mariagrazia, showed how perilous the conditions were during their drive from Syracuse to their home in Carlentini on the island’s southeastern coast. In a translated message, Mariagrazia told Storyful that while they did see smoke off in the distance while they were driving, they didn’t think the situation was dangerous enough to prevent them from continuing their journey. “Going further on, we noticed that the situation was only going to get worse,” she told Storyful. “But we could not stop anymore.” She said that her mother bravely hand...

http://youtu.be/ZpSdZM2IBB4 FBI agents and local police raided a home in Georgia in search of human remains in the 2016 disappearance of 19-year-old Morgan Bauer, who was last seen in a mysterious video that she posted to Instagram. A search warrant “obtained based on credible information” was executed Thursday at a property on South Broad Street in the Atlanta suburb of Porterdale, Porterdale police Sgt. Michael Walden reported to station Fox 5. He did not comment further on the tip that led to the search. During an afternoon press briefing, officials confirmed that they were searching for Bauer’s remains and that they have retrieved “items of evidentiary interest,” but they would not say what those were. Police said they do not know how long it would take to complete the search, giv...

http://youtu.be/6bsc40XtFHs The estranged wife of accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann broke her silence Friday as she alluded to the depression and trauma she has been subjected to in the wake of his shock arrest. Asa Ellerup, who filed for divorce earlier this month, was spotted outside the couple’s Massapequa Park home early Friday for the second day running, after investigators ended an exhaustive search of the property. “If you want to take pictures, go ahead. I’m OK with it now,” she told reporters, according to Daily Mail. When asked by a reporter Friday afternoon if she would be interested in a GoFundMe page that one of her friends had apparently been trying to set up for her, Ellerup responded: “Yeah… it would be very helpful.” Read more at https://nypost.com/2023...

http://youtu.be/4c5lYRtEi2k Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie ripped former President Donald Trump Thursday, calling the 2024 Republican presidential front-runner a “one-man crime wave” as he faces new federal charges in the classified documents investigation. Christie, also a Republican candidate for president and former Trump ally, made the comments during a podcast interview with “Pod Save America” that aired as special counsel Jack Smith filed a superseding indictment against the 77-year-old. Podcast host Jon Lovett, a former speechwriter for President Barack Obama, asked Christie during the interview if he had “ever heard of someone facing between four and six trials within a few months for different legal issues?” “No, usually, folks like this commit discrete crimes and wind ...

http://youtu.be/Q-n5E6_sWjo President Biden joked Friday that House Republicans threatening to impeach him for alleged corruption involving his son Hunter’s foreign business dealings may as well add lowering inflation to the charges. “Earlier this week, the Washington Post suggested Republicans may have to find something else to criticize me for now that inflation is coming down,” Biden said during an economic speech in Maine. “Maybe they’ll decide to impeach me because it’s coming down,” he joked. “I don’t know, I’d love that one. But anyway, that’s another story,” he added, in his first oral response to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s threat this week to launch an impeachment inquiry into Biden’s role in his family’s dealings in countries including China and Ukraine. Annual inflation...

A Colorado man narrowly escaped being bitten by a 12-foot, 600-pound alligator named Elvis as he attempted to feed a raw turkey to the massive reptile. The close call happened at Colorado Gator Farm in Mosca, when an employee known only as Chad can be seen stepping into the water to feed Elvis a raw turkey, video posted Monday on the park’s Facebook page shows.

http://youtu.be/kfuAru7Qr5U Jurors in the Wisconsin trial of Taylor Schabusiness were shown bodycam footage of the disturbing moment police discovered her boyfriend’s severed body parts in a bucket in his mother’s basement. Schabusiness, 25, is accused of strangling 25-year-old Shad Thyrion to death during a 2022 meth-fueled BDSM romp, then sexually abusing his body before dismembering and mutilating it with a bread knife. Thyrion’s head was discovered by his mother, Tara Pakanich, shortly after Schabusiness left the scene on February 22. She placed a panicked call to police, who responded to the Green Bay home and confirmed the grisly find. “Oh my f–king God,” the officers could be heard saying in bodycam footage from the moment shown to jurors on Monday. “Jesus,” they then said, alo...

http://youtu.be/A4GRntVZvec President Biden was mocked by critics after he claimed to have “ended cancer as we know it” during remarks Tuesday. Biden, 80, made the misstatement during a White House speech about expanding access to mental health treatment. “I said I’d cure cancer,” he claimed. “They looked at me like, why cancer? Because no one thinks we can. That’s why, and we can. “We ended cancer as we know it,” added Biden, slurring the last sentence. White House officials tried to clean up the comment in the official transcript of the speech, which was written as if Biden said, “We can end cancer as we know it.” Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/07/26/we-ended-cancer-biden-falsely-claims-in-latest-gaffe/ #joebiden #cancer The New York Post is your source for breaking news, ...

http://youtu.be/to0qkXGAjhs An American Airlines flight from New York City to Guyana was returned to JFK Airport after a disruption in which a passenger called a crew member a “waiter.” Flight 2557 was bound for Georgetown, Guyana, on July 18 when it turned back to the Big Apple due to the incident involving Joel Ghansham, Guyana’s Stabroek News said. Ghansham told local outlet Demerara Waves Online News that it began when he asked a flight attendant for help putting his luggage in the overhead compartment because he recently underwent spine surgery.

http://youtu.be/-W2AhBgYxLs A fire blazed on a ship off the Dutch coast with nearly 3,000 vehicles on board on Wednesday, killing one member of the crew and injuring several others, the coastguard said. The fire began on Tuesday night on the 199-metre Panama-registered Fremantle Highway, which was en route from Germany to Egypt, forcing several crew members to jump overboard. Dutch broadcaster NOS said all the crew were Indian. Rescue ships sprayed water onto the burning boat to cool it down, but using too much water risked its sinking, the Dutch coastguard said. A salvage vessel was hooked on to stop it drifting. The fire might last for several days, Dutch news agency ANP reported, citing the coastguard. Smoke continued to billow from the vessel near the northern Dutch island of Amela...

http://youtu.be/jl-hSSasgLc A former Air Force officer and intelligence official told Congress Wednesday he believes the government is hiding captured UFOs — and claimed he could not reveal whether anyone was murdered to keep the secret contained. David Grusch, a former national reconnaissance officer representative for the Pentagon’s Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Task Force, made the startling remarks during a bombshell House Oversight subcommittee hearing on UAP – Pentagon jargon for UFOs. Asked whether the government has possession of such vehicles, Grusch replied: “Absolutely.” “Based on interviewing over 40 witnesses over four years and where, I know the exact locations [the UFOs are kept,]” he said. “And those locations were provided to the inspector general.” Read more at ht...

http://youtu.be/K2zUaCXemkM Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell spooked reporters Wednesday when he suddenly became silent and stone-faced during a press conference — only to return minutes later declaring, “I’m fine.” “We’re on a path to finishing the NDAA this week. There’s been good bipartisan cooperation, and a string of…,” McConnell (R-Ky.), 81, began before trailing off and staring blankly at the scrum for roughly 20 seconds. “Are you good, Mitch?” Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) leaned in and asked to break the silence. “Anything else you want to say or should we just go back to your office?” Senate GOP Conference Chairman John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) also asked, to which McConnell shook his head and shuffled back with an aide. The Senate GOP leader returned toward the end of the weekly ...

http://youtu.be/FueX7C5aBgk During a House Oversight Committee hearing Wednesday (July 26) on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, Ryan Graves, executive director of Americans for Safe Aerospace, said during his opening statement that UAP are "in our airspace, but they are grossly under reported." "The stigma attached to UAP is real and powerful and challenges national security," Graves added. The Senate is expected to consider a bipartisan measure that would compel the U.S. government to publicly release records relating to possible UFO sightings after decades of stonewalling. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat, has teamed up with Senator Mike Rounds, a Republican, in leading an effort to force the disclosure of information relating to what the government officially calls "...
