http://youtu.be/wiQmKS2cTfI The IRS on Monday removed the “entire investigative team” from its long-running tax fraud probe of first son Hunter Biden in alleged retaliation against the whistleblower who recently contacted Congress to allege a cover-up in the case, The Post has learned. The purge allegedly was done on the orders of the Justice Department, the whistleblower’s attorneys informed congressional leaders in a letter. “Today the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Criminal Supervisory Special Agent we represent was informed that he and his entire investigative team are being removed from the ongoing and sensitive investigation of the high-profile, controversial subject about which our client sought to make whistleblower disclosures to Congress. He was informed the change was at the ...

http://youtu.be/0KzCz735vR0 Shocking footage appears to show a US soldier opening a gate to let a steady stream of border crossers onto private property in Texas — then watching as a bus pulls up to whisk them away. Footage shared by Fox LA reporter Bill Melugin late Monday starts with a woman in military gear calmly backing up from a high fence in Eagle Pass as the gate is opened up. In just over a minute, dozens of people casually walk through the opening — with others still slowly walking toward it as the clip ends. As they enter, a small craft watches from the river, which Melugin said was the Border Patrol. The same female soldier who appeared to have opened the gate then comes back into the frame, calmly watching the new arrivals as a white bus pulls up with another vehicle behi...

http://youtu.be/7IljQpKJJmI Sextortionists sent a grieving South Carolina lawmaker a sick message gloating about driving his teenage son to suicide — while threatening to release nude photos and demanding more money. State Rep. Brandon Guffey, 54, told CNN that he got the Instagram message on the day his son Gavin would have turned 18 — and less than a month after he found him dead last year at their family home in Rock Hill. The sick, tragic crime was behind Guffey introducing “Gavin’s Law,” which was passed by state senators Thursday and is expected to be signed into law soon. It threatens scammers who extort a minor or an at-risk adult with up to five years in prison for a first offense.

http://youtu.be/L7v1rT_z4Lc A group of sorority sisters who are suing the University of Wyoming for accepting a transgender woman into their group have broken cover to describe how they “live in constant fear in our home” — after the hulking student has become physically aroused around them. The seven women from the Kappa Kappa Gamma house have filed a lawsuit against the university and Artemis Langford, 21, a 6-foot-2, 260-pound trans student who joined their chapter in September 2022. Langford — referred to under the male pseudonym Terry Smith in the suit — has been living outside the sorority house and was expected to move in the coming year, according to Cowboy State Daily. However, the student, who is referred to as “he” and “him” in the suit, still often stays for meals and atten...

http://youtu.be/gGuoMPXzlU4 A meteorologist at an ABC TV affiliate in Tennessee tweeted that she has been axed from the local news station — and signaled it was because she had “curly hair” and isn’t a “size 2.” Tabitha Bartoe has ended her weekend morning weather anchor gig at Knoxville, Tenn.’s WATE 6 “On Your Side” after just four months on the job, according to her LinkedIn page. In a Twitter post, Bartoe shared a message to viewers letting them know “the sad news” that her “time at WATE has come to a close” — and suggested that she was fired because of her appearance. She continued: “One thing I will say, is that I hope that in the future, we all learn to appreciate and accept people for who they are. For their appearance, for their STYLE,” Bartoe tweeted. “Everyone is beautiful ...

http://youtu.be/IL5Y9ei6LWI A fire ripped through a hostel in New Zealand’s capital overnight, killing at least six people and forcing others to flee the four-story building in their pajamas in what a fire chief on Tuesday called his “worst nightmare.” Fifty-two people in the Loafers Lodge hostel in Wellington had been accounted for, but firefighters were still looking for others, said Wellington Fire and Emergency District Manager Nick Pyatt. He said they were called to the hostel at about 12:30 a.m. Prime Minister Chris Hipkins told the AM morning news program that he understood that six people were confirmed dead and the number of fatalities would likely rise. Police said they did not have an exact count of the number of dead, although they believe the total number of fatalities wa...

http://youtu.be/7Em9ZXOPu-U The wife of a missing South Carolina boater — who vanished four months ago — has given birth to the couple’s first child. Tyler Doyle, 22, of Loris, was last seen on Jan. 26 when his duck hunting boat sank off the coast of North Myrtle Beach. Doyle’s wife, Lakelyn, was pregnant when her husband disappeared and gave birth to their daughter last month, The Sun News reported. Social media posts from before Tyler’s disappearance hinted that the couple planned to name the baby Paisley Grace. Meanwhile, shortly after her husband went missing, Lakelyn asked a friend to shut down the family’s GoFundMe “due to the rumors and everything going around.” Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/05/16/wife-of-missing-sc-man-tyler-doyle-gives-birth-to-first-child/ #southcar...

http://youtu.be/eRAlyqLGV5w WARNING: The following contains graphic details. Frantic 911 calls captured the panic of Texas mall shoppers as a mass shooter opened fire on them — with a distraught husband begging for help, sobbing, “My wife is dying." “Please, please, I don’t want to lose [them],” the weeping man shouts at 911 dispatchers as he reveals his wife and child were among those shot in front of the H&M at the Allen Premium Outlets mall May 6. “Get me somebody here,” the distraught man continues. “Please, I’ve been waiting for 20 f–king minutes. My wife is dying.” Through his sobs, he also reveals his son is not breathing as he continues to beg dispatchers to “send somebody, please.” Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/05/16/texas-mall-shooting-prompted-chilling-911-calls...

http://youtu.be/54cRl1b5vUU The Bellevue Hospital employee branded a “Karen” after she was caught on video allegedly attempting to hijack a CitiBike that had already been paid for by a black man has been placed on leave, NYC Health + Hospitals confirmed to The Post. A clip of the explosive encounter has raked in more than 40 million views on social media after it was shared on Twitter on Saturday, with the health care network labeling it “disturbing.” “We are aware of the video involving a health care provider off duty and away from the hospital campus. The incident in the video is disturbing,” a spokesperson for NYC Health + Hospitals said in a statement Tuesday. “The provider is currently out on leave and will remain on leave pending a review,” the statement continued. “As a health ...

http://youtu.be/hkVoSfcDVB8 Howard Stern said Donald Trump’s controversial town hall on CNN last week was “an interesting thing to watch” — and suggested that the struggling cable network stage similar events with other GOP presidential hopefuls. “I don’t know, I thought it was f–king — really f–king interesting and entertaining,” he said during the Monday edition of “The Howard Stern Show.” “Everyone had their t-ts in a twist over Trump being on there [CNN], and the audience was like laughing and, you know, cheering him on, and a lot of people got upset about it,” Stern said. “I’m pretty sure anybody who didn’t like Trump hated him even more after that,” he added, though Trump’s “fans love him,” which Stern said made the May 10 town hall “an interesting thing to watch.” He then said ...

http://youtu.be/RcjODCHZnG0 President Biden declined to take reporter questions Tuesday while hosting congressional leaders in the Oval Office — before axing an upcoming trip to Australia and Papua New Guinea to return to debt-ceiling talks to prevent a federal default in about two weeks. Biden suggested he’d answer questions later in the afternoon on the West Wing driveway — but didn’t do so after meeting with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and other leaders. Few reporters actually expected Biden to appear on the drive, noting that the 80-year-old president similarly dodged questions on May 5 by claiming he’d hold a “major press conference.” He instead did an interview with a friendly MSNBC pundit. “Hello folks. Get a good picture of all of us. We’re having a wonderful time. ...

An agitated man outside a smoke shop in Port Orange, Florida, was arrested after chucking a piece of sandwich meat at a police officer.

http://youtu.be/kJ5ZEOaVBRo That’s one way to get an apartment steps from Central Park. A pair of alleged squatters from Oregon have commandeered a two-bedroom, rent-controlled co-op worth nearly $1 million on Manhattan’s ritzy Upper West Side after the longtime tenant died, according to court papers. Sheila Upjohn, 72, of Salem, has been living in the roughly 1,100-square-foot pad on the ninth floor of 46 West 95th Street since 98-year-old resident Mary Etta Tanuma died in April 2022. The landlord said Upjohn and Tanuma aren’t related, and Upjohn has no right to the home — but a relative said the two women were as close as family gets.

http://youtu.be/UpALdixETww Elon Musk invited Don Lemon — who last month was fired from CNN following a string of gaffes as co-host of “CNN This Morning” — to revive his career by launching a show on Twitter. “Have you considered doing your show on this platform? Maybe worth a try,” Musk wrote early Wednesday in reply to Lemon’s fiery tweet posted on April 24, the day he was let go from CNN. “Audience is much bigger,” Musk added. As of midday Wednesday, Lemon — who had tweeted last month that he was blindsided by the news of his firing just hours after his final broadcast — had not replied to Musk. A rep for Lemon did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/05/10/elon-musk-makes-a-surprising-offer-to-ex-cnn-host-don-lemon/ #elonmusk #do...

http://youtu.be/G55UjgICIGE Former President Donald Trump urged Republicans to default on the US national debt if President Biden won’t agree to budget cuts and refused to rule out a federal abortion ban if he retakes the White House during a CNN town hall Wednesday night. Trump, 76, made the jolting remarks amid cheers from a supportive crowd of Republican and undecided voters in New Hampshire — while also ridiculing Biden, 80, and attacking CNN moderator Kaitlan Collins as a “nasty person.” Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/05/10/trump-demands-debt-default-doesnt-rule-out-us-abortion-ban-during-cnn-town-hall/ #donaldtrump #maralago #news #politics The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, cul...

http://youtu.be/Tr5AIwZbbzg American Airlines allegedly lost a disabled Missouri man’s prosthetic limb — then refused to pay him back for the much-needed $26,000 device. “You can’t do this to somebody that’s disabled: Just say, ‘Hey, we lost something of yours, but we’re not going to pay for it,’” Michael Williams, owner of the aluminum leg, told Fox2now.com Williams, of St. Louis, handed a suitcase marked “fragile” with the limb inside to an airline worker at check-in before boarding a flight from Indianapolis to Charlotte on his way home in 2020, he said.

http://youtu.be/-pmFMlW3oY4 President Biden dusted off a cringeworthy joke about how “thin” the walls were at his childhood home while delivering a campaign-style speech in Westchester about the debt ceiling crisis. Biden, 80, was speaking Wednesday at SUNY Westchester Community College in Valhalla, New York, blasting Republicans in Congress for demanding spending cuts as a condition to increasing the debt limit in a bid to stave off a potential US default. While discussing his middle-class roots, the president shared a well-worn vignette about growing up in a large family sharing a modest home in the suburbs of Claymont, Delaware. “We lived in a three-bedroom, split-level home in a housing development that got … it was a nice area; that was when they were developing suburbia — with fo...

http://youtu.be/Cp_hxJ3Yl3s A motor home overturned on an Oregon highway on Friday, May 5, after veering into a semi-truck, police said.

http://youtu.be/tmureQScIow US Border Patrol agents were told this week to begin releasing migrants from overwhelmed holding facilities — as surges of asylum seekers rushed across the border ahead of the expiration of pandemic-related immigration policy Thursday. Agents were ordered on Wednesday to release migrants from any border sector that reached 125% capacity and give them instructions to appear at an immigration office within 60 days, a US official said. They were also instructed to facilitate releases if the average time in custody exceeded 60 hours or if 7,000 migrants were taken into custody across the border in just one day. The move comes as migrants continue to flood the US southern border ahead of the demise of Title 42, which expires at midnight Thursday. Read more at ...

Oklahoma police rushed to rescue who they believed to be a man screaming for help — but to their surprise, the source of the cries ended up being a goat.

http://youtu.be/hj0RHXWG6tY Transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney admitted on a recent podcast episode that the relentless backlash over her Bud Light partnership has kept her up at night. The TikTok star told fellow transgender activist Schuyler Bailar that the intense, weeks-long uproar over her paid sponsorship with the beer company has gotten under her skin, but that the fiasco may have been a blessing in disguise. “Now there are hundreds of thousands of people that do not like me, and I still sometimes can’t sleep but it in a weird way has been a blessing to sort of break that people-pleasing mentality,” Mulvaney said during a Monday episode of Bailar’s “Dear Schuyler” podcast. “Because I can’t, there’s no way that I can win those people over.” Mulvaney — who has tried to remain p...

http://youtu.be/BpZApVdxsmk A work crew in Oviedo, Florida proved the NYC urban legend was a Sunshine State reality after discovering an 5-foot gator residing in a sludge-filled pipe. Footage of the scaly subterranean terror is currently stirring up a crapstorm on the City of Oviedo City Administration Facebook page. “Just another reason not to go wandering down into the stormwater pipes!” a spokesperson said of the new underground sensation, which was spotted Friday during a routine pothole inspection. A public works team had dispatched a robot equipped with a camera to get to the root of why a cluster of craters kept appearing on the road above, according to a Jam Press report.

http://youtu.be/9xfRUKRagJA This was quite louse-y. An Australian hairdresser shocked social media users with a now-viral video showing a client’s massive lice infestation. Rachel Maroun posted the TikTok last month — which has since gained 5.2 million views — on her page, which she dedicates to treating other people’s infestations. In the video, the beautician claims that she was quickly able to tell that her client had been suffering from lice for a few months due to the fact the creepy crawler’s eggs were visible.

http://youtu.be/ex2KKxsg2qI A Minnesota man was arrested after he and two others were caught on camera flinging rocks and slabs of concrete at each other’s cars in a wild road rage fight. Minnesota police responded to a brawl on Tuesday at an off ramp on Highway 62, in Richfield, where three people were fighting each other. The traffic cam video opens with one of the men hurling a stone at another wearing a beige T-shirt, with the brick hitting his black car as he dodges and runs. A third man, in a black T-shirt, then rushes in with a concrete slab in hand to throw at the first suspect, who quickly rushes into his white car and drives away, but not before his window gets pelted by the rock. The white vehicle only drives a short distance before stopping, but the driver remains inside t...
