http://youtu.be/Urc7-pryeaA A man wanted on drug charges leaped off a Sun Country flight in an attempt to escape officers waiting for him at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, police said. Jeremiah Raymond Hoskins, 44, of New Brighton, was aboard Flight 346 arriving from Orlando Sunday night when he found that officers were waiting to arrest him. In a last-ditch effort to flee, Hoskins decided to pop open the emergency exit as other passengers were getting off the flight at around 11:15 p.m. He then jumped from the aircraft to the tarmac below, evading officers, the Metropolitan Airports Commission said in a statement. The man was spotted running across the tarmac and towards Terminal 2 at the airport. Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/07/10/man-wanted-on-drug-charges...

http://youtu.be/jSAHPkZLU-k The head of NATO announced Monday that Turkey has agreed to let Sweden into the Atlantic alliance after months of stalling Stockholm’s bid. The breakthrough came after talks between NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson in Lithuania on the eve of a two-day NATO summit. “Glad to announce that after the meeting I hosted with [Erdogan] & [Kristersson], President Erdogan has agreed to forward Sweden’s accession protocol to the Grand National Assembly ASAP & ensure ratification,” Stoltenberg wrote on Twitter. “This is an historic step which makes all NATO Allies stronger & safer,” he added.

http://youtu.be/DZUZ5W2IBoM The Florida high school softball star who was allegedly stabbed 15 times by her stalker ex-boyfriend revealed that she was left paralyzed from the chest down in the sickening attack, but said she’s “going to be okay.” Madison Schemitz, 17, a rising senior at Ponte Verde High School, spoke publicly for the first time since being ambushed at a local sports bar and restaurant on June 3, allegedly by her deranged ex. Spencer Pearson, 18, attacked her, her mom and a good Samaritan before turning the knife on himself, police said. He faces two counts of attempted premeditated first-degree murder and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. ​“Regarding my recovery, I am currently paralyzed from the chest down,” Schemitz told reporters Friday at ​Brooks Rehabilitati...

http://youtu.be/0FCM2aDHXsk A stagehand for country music superstar Randy Travis was shot dead over the weekend by his wife, who believed he was having an affair, police have revealed. Christine Roberts, 72, was arrested and charged with criminal homicide Sunday after she allegedly shot her husband, Thomas Roberts, 68, on the porch of their Nashville, Tenn., home, police said. When officers responded to the home, she told them she shot her husband “because he had cheated on her,” according to the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department. Thomas Roberts, who had worked for the “Diggin’ Up Bones” hitmaker for over two decades, died from a single gunshot wound to his chest just after 8 p.m. Sunday. A pistol was recovered from the scene, police said. Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/...

http://youtu.be/8UPxoTORzPI Audible chants of "Not my King" could be heard from a sizeable crowd of protesters attending the event. Polls suggest the monarchy is less popular in Scotland than in the rest of the United Kingdom. Charles and Camilla were crowned in London's Westminster Abbey in May in front of about 100 world leaders in Britain's biggest ceremonial event for seven decades. The 74-year-old succeeded his mother as monarch of the United Kingdom and 14 other realms when Queen Elizabeth died in September 2022. But in a nod to the historical fact that England and Scotland had different monarchs until the crowns were united in 1603, there are separate Scottish celebrations to herald his coronation on Wednesday (July 5). #kingcharles #scotland #coronation The New York Post is ...

http://youtu.be/3onp_TNqBak Almost 80% of homes in the Palestinian city of Jenin have suffered damage from a recent Israeli military operation, according to the city’s deputy governor. The Israeli army withdrew from Jenin early Wednesday, concluding its largest military operation in the city in more than 20 years. At least 12 Palestinians were killed and more than 100 others injured in the offensive, according to the Health Ministry. The Israeli raid, which started on Monday, has also left a trail of destruction across the West Bank city. “Houses and infrastructure suffered heavy damage in the offensive,” Kamal Abu al-Rub told Anadolu on Wednesday. “Almost 80% of houses in the Jenin refugee camp were either destroyed, damaged or burnt.” According to an Anadolu reporter, there are aro...

http://youtu.be/pHLzBxQy-UQ An IRS whistleblower’s legal team has torn into Hunter Biden’s high-priced lawyers, accusing reps for the first son of peddling “false and defamatory statements.” Supervisory agent Gary Shapley’s lawyers sent a letter Monday to two Washington Post reporters, urging them to publicly confirm Shapley was not their source for an October 2022 article about how federal investigators believed they had the goods on Hunter, now 53. “Biden family attorneys have falsely accused SSA Shapley of illegally leaking to you,” read the letter to Devlin Barrett and Perry Stein. “Shapley was not a source for you on that story, or any other story for that matter.” Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/07/05/irs-whistleblower-warns-hunter-bidens-lawyers-are-a-hairs-breadth-from-a-...

http://youtu.be/VtEWYADAEsk White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre once again declined to answer questions about President Biden’s estranged granddaughter following a weekend report claiming that aides are told not to acknowledge Hunter’s child with a former stripper. Jean Pierre was asked about the New York Times’ bombshell report Saturday on 4-year-old Navy Joan Roberts, whom Hunter Biden shares with Arkansas baby mama Lunden Alexis Roberts, at Wednesday’s press briefing. “There was a story in the New York Times over the weekend about Hunter Biden’s daughter in Arkansas. Does the president acknowledge this little girl as his granddaughter?” a reporter asked. “I don’t have anything to share from here,” Jean-Pierre bluntly responded. The White House has refused to answer any q...

http://youtu.be/cKEOjL8WXqg A former pilot of the ill-fated Titan submersible lost control of the vessel during a previous dive — causing the sub to start spinning in circles as terrified passengers were stuck on board for hours. Footage taken inside the submersible shows the vehicle spinning out of control, leading pilot Scott Griffith to say, “We have a problem,” as the five-person crew dove 12,500 feet below sea level. The crew was 300 meters from the Titanic’s ruins when the Titan’s thrusters began to malfunction, the clip from the 2022 BBC documentary revealed.

http://youtu.be/JQhVgL6eQBc A Colorado supermarket employee was fired after he recorded three men stealing approximately $500 worth of laundry detergent from the store on Father’s Day. Santino Burrola, the King Soopers employee, was alerted to a theft in progress at the store and the first thing he thought to do was pull out his phone and record it. “When I looked there was already a guy halfway headed out with a food cart full of laundry detergents and scent boosters and what have you,” Burrola told CBS Colorado. “My first instinct, record.” As Burrola, a former military police officer, walked out of the store, the three thieves hurried to load up a black Chevy Trax, one opening the doors, another throwing a basket full of items into the back seat, and another struggling to unload the...

http://youtu.be/ziIPav8t8hY OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush once compared the glue holding the doomed Titan submersible together to “peanut butter” — and called the tourist vessel’s carbon-fiber hull design “pretty simple.” Rush was overseeing the bonding of the sub’s titanium ring and carbon-fiber hull when he made the odd statement in a 2018 video posted on the company’s YouTube channel, Insider reported. He said the glue used for the task was “very thick, so it’s not like Elmer’s Glue,” adding that “it’s like peanut butter.” Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/07/06/oceangate-ceo-compared-glue-holding-titan-sub-together-to-peanut-butter/ #oceangate #titanic #submersible The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinio...

http://youtu.be/DQgglZ0xdoM A police department in Wisconsin released a video on its Facebook page showing body-cam footage of an unusual rescue operation. Sturgeon Police Department Officer Andrew Crabb told Fox News Digital that he was nearing the end of his overnight shift the morning of June 25 when he realized the smoke from a nearby farm was not just haze from Canadian wildfires. The police department shared in its social media post that just before 6:00 a.m., Crabb “noticed black smoke coming from a barn.” Crabb rushed into the barn, where three cows were stuck behind a locked gate in the blaze. Crabb told Fox News Digital, “Once I realized what was going on inside that barn, I realized the gate didn’t get undone and those cows were not going to make it.” Read more at https:...

http://youtu.be/7_Dr8pW_F30 Dramatic new footage has shown Russian fighter jets making dangerous maneuvers around US drone flight paths over Syria. US Air Forces Central, which released the dramatic video Wednesday, excoriated Russia for harassing the three American MQ-9 Reaper drones, which were engaged in military operations targeting ISIS. “These events represent another example of unprofessional and unsafe actions by Russian air forces operating in Syria, which threaten the safety of both US and Russian forces,” said Lt. Gen. Alex Grynkewich, the commander of the 9th Air Force in the Middle East . “We urge Russian forces in Syria to cease this reckless behavior and adhere to the standards of behavior expected of a professional air force so we can resume our focus on the enduring de...

http://youtu.be/AH-9hDxLGhY A private Catholic university is funneling federal money into a program addressing transphobia, racism and other workplace issues — despite findings that such training isn’t the social cure-all that proponents claim. Siena Heights University in Adrian, Mich., will launch “Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion” this fall, the College Fix reported. Led by professor Leland Harper, the initiative was fueled by a $34,905 planning grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to “design a new, coherent D&I certificate program … that is qualitatively distinct from the D&I certificates offered at other institutions,” records show.

http://youtu.be/J-9a5L_MyKM The “missing witness” from the Biden corruption investigation, Israeli professor Dr. Gal Luft, has laid out his bribery allegations against the president’s family in an extraordinary video filmed in an undisclosed location while he’s on the run. In the 14-minute recording, obtained exclusively by The Post, the fugitive former Israeli army officer claims he was arrested in Cyprus to stop him from testifying to the House Oversight Committee that the Biden family received payments from individuals with alleged ties to Chinese military intelligence and that they had an FBI mole who shared classified information with their benefactors from the China-controlled energy company CEFC. The self-proclaimed fall guy says he provided the incriminating evidence to six of...

http://youtu.be/wFHNkPHEZjk Social media users posted videos of unsold cases of Bud Light over the Fourth of July weekend as beer drinkers continue to shun the brand over its marketing partnership with transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney. TikTok user Phillip Hawkins wandered into a local retailer and recorded a video showing 12 packs and 24 packs of Bud Light languishing on shelves and in the aisles despite parent company offering significant rebates. “Bud Light is not selling. This is garbage beer,” he said. “Check it out: even with the coupon, nobody wants this.” Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/07/06/videos-of-unsold-bud-light-go-viral-in-wake-of-dylan-mulvaney-fiasco/ #budlight #dylanmulvaney #socialmedia The New York Post is your source for breaking news, n...

http://youtu.be/j8S3Gez_tyU Donald Trump’s body man, Walt Nauta, pleaded not guilty in Miami federal court Thursday to charges of allegedly helping the 45th president hoard classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate and then lying about it. Nauta, a former White House valet, is accused of moving sensitive papers around the Palm Beach, Fla., resort to hide them from both the 77-year-old Trump’s lawyers and from the feds. Attorney Stanley Woodward entered the plea on his client’s behalf to six counts including making false statements, scheming to conceal, corrupt concealment, concealing a document in a federal probe, withholding a document or record and conspiracy to obstruct justice. At Trump’s bidding, prosecutors say, Nauta shifted boxes of the records so that the 45th president’s ...

http://youtu.be/CDfoznyWgzM Greta Thunberg has been charged in Sweden with disobeying a police order after she joined a group of climate activists blocking oil tankers at a port in June. Swedish prosecutors confirmed Wednesday that a “young woman” was charged with disobedience because she “refused to comply with police orders to leave the scene” during the protest. The statement didn’t identify the defendant, but Swedish Prosecution Authority spokeswoman Annika Collin revealed that it was 20-year-old Thunberg.

http://youtu.be/k-tP_D5Qih8 A Southwest Airlines flight from Las Vegas to Hawaii was diverted after passengers were sent alarming photos suggesting there was a bomb on the plane. A trouble-making traveler, who has not been identified, used Apple’s AirDrop feature to spread the threatening images, the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office said.

http://youtu.be/hUJ5aw9J1w0 OceanGate Expeditions, the embattled tourism company behind the Titan submersible tragedy, is suspending all exploratory and commercial operations — two weeks after its signature diving vessel fatally malfunctioned with five people on board. The announcement was made quietly through a small banner header on OceanGate’s website. Founded in 2009, the company offered well-heeled daredevils the opportunity to travel on submersibles to underwater shipwrecks and canyons.

http://youtu.be/V9QLcWmYyxs The mother of the Houston man reported missing in 2015 actually hid her now-25-year-old son at home and repeatedly lied to police before he was miraculously ‘found’ last week, police said Thursday. Janie Santana referred to her son, Rudy Farias, as her “nephew” if they were spotted publicly, but remains free from criminal charges for now as Houston Police Department continues to probe the bizarre, bogus disappearance. In the eight years since Farias was said to have disappeared while walking his dogs in early March 2015 police had actually encountered the purportedly missing man — but both he and his mother gave false information to officers. “During these contacts, fictitious names and date of births were given, misleading the officers,” Houston Police Dep...

http://youtu.be/o5bhXfYM47o A Queens man was arrested after taking a dangerous leap from a Fire Island ferry into the Great South Bay during the Fourth of July holiday, police said. Video footage of the incident shows the moment the man, 24, risked his life by walking toward the edge of the boat with nothing but swim trunks on and simply leaping into the water. Officials said that despite attempts by ferry workers to get him back on board, the man, who has yet to be publicly identified, opted to swim toward the Maple Street docks in Bay Shore. While the diver received cheers from fellow passengers on the boat, Fire Island Ferries General Manager Dave Anderson warned that the stunt could’ve cost the young man his life. “Underneath that ferry are three giant propellers. They will chew y...

http://youtu.be/M2byjcUpIA4 A conservative legal watchdog group is demanding that LinkedIn take down its “Diversity in Recruiting” feature, claiming it’s in violation of last week’s Supreme Court ruling against race-based affirmative action in higher education. The Microsoft-owned tech company professes to have 930 million members in more than 200 countries worldwide and acknowledge it collects demographic data that “may diversify the group of candidates displayed to recruiters.” The Equal Protection Project attorneys, William Jacobson and Ameer Benno, sent their concerns to the LinkedIn headquarters in Sunnyvale, Calif. on July 5 after the nation’s highest court struck down race-conscious admissions programs at Harvard and the University of North Carolina as unconstitutional. The impl...

http://youtu.be/yyvVKUsTGmw One of the two Iowa teens that bashed their high school Spanish teacher to death with a baseball bat over a bad grade was sentenced Thursday to life in prison. Willard Miller, 17, could be eligible for parole after 35 years behind bars for the vicious murder of 66-year-old Nohema Graber in 2021. Miller stared ahead with little emotion as District Court Judge Shawn Showers handed down the hefty sentence, noting that it was fitting despite Miller’s young age because he had “cut Nohema Graber’s precious life short,” devastating her family and the community. “I find that your intent and actions were sinister and evil. Those acts resulted in the intentional loss of human life in a brutal fashion. There is no excuse. There is not a systemic, societal problem that ...

http://youtu.be/65QrpUPKZJo Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen was arrested in Washington, DC Thursday during a protest in support of Wikileaks publisher Julian Assange. Cohen, of the popular Vermont-based ice cream brand, decried the US’s prosecution of Assange as an attack on freedom of the press outside the Department of Justice building along with the feminist activist group CODEPINK. Cohen and CODEPINK co-founder Jodie Evans were both arrested for blocking the entrance to the DOJ building as they sat in front of the pathway for nearly an hour in the pouring rain, video shows. At the start of the protest, the ice cream executive lit a “Freedom of the Press” sign on fire as he said: “Freedom of the press is going up in smoke.” “There’s no democracy without freedom of the press ...

http://youtu.be/kg2aC4fFS2s NATO's secretary general outlined a three-point plan to help Ukraine in its fight against Russia which he hoped would be agreed to by members of the bloc during a summit in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius next week. Jens Stoltenberg told journalists in Brussels on Friday that the proposal includes setting up a "multi-year program of assistance to ensure full interoperability between the Ukrainian armed forces and NATO." He also said that a "NATO-Ukraine Council" would be setup to "upgrade" the bloc's "political ties' with the conflict-ridden country. The third point of the plan will focus on member states reaffirming Ukraine's future membership in NATO, Stoltenberg said. Stoltenberg also told Friday's news conference that "further major steps" would be taken...

http://youtu.be/wQNy_Xh0SrM A bikini-clad woman in Lakewood, Colo., was captured on video unleashing a racially fueled verbal assault against a Latino family — calling them “trash” for having a pool party around the Fourth of July. The video posted on a family member’s TikTok on Tuesday showed an unidentified blond woman, wearing sunglasses and a leopard print swimsuit, become enraged while spewing racial comments at the family. The woman then noticed she was being filmed and attempted to grab the phone. “You can’t do that. You can’t just record me,” she proclaimed while she marched toward the camera and slapped the phone out of their hand.

http://youtu.be/2uEHnTSIfh8 Italian surgeons had to reconstruct a man’s face using his leg bone after removing a massive 3-pound jaw tumor that was impeding his quality of life. “It is a demanding and complex operation,” lead surgeon Professor Alessandro Baj told Newsflash of the face-saving procedure, which transpired at the Galeazzi-Sant’Ambrogio hospital in Milan. The 38-year-old man, identified only as Angelo, reportedly had a benign growth so big that it inhibited his eating and breathing. Accompanying pics show the colossal protuberance, which completely envelops his face.

http://youtu.be/ADQZ9fcaCtY A Florida woman kept her cool as a hammerhead shark closely followed behind her paddleboarding excursion in the middle of the sea. Malea Tribble of Fort Lauderdale was competing Monday in the Crossing For Cystic Fibrosis event — an 83-mile paddle race from Bimini in the Bahamas to Lake Worth Beach, Florida — when the giant fish began stalking her. She was about halfway across the Gulf Stream — nearly 40 miles from Florida — when the hammerhead made its presence known. “I initially felt a few taps on the bottom of my board, but I dismissed it, thinking I picked up some seaweed on my fin,” Tribble told Fox 35.
