http://youtu.be/Agz-vTRx2LE A transgender runner is under fire for crediting “girl power” for beating nearly 14,000 others in the female category of the London Marathon — just months after racing in New York as a man. Sports bra-wearing racer Glenique Frank — who ran the New York Marathon on Nov. 6 as Glen Frank — went viral after stopping to talk to a BBC reporter covering the UK race Sunday. “London is the best!” the 52-year-old runner said of her 17th marathon, which last year included Tokyo and Chicago and will include all of the “six majors,” including Berlin and then Boston. “Girl power!” Frank said of her marathon efforts while flexing her bulging biceps above rainbow-colored armbands. The runner — whose social media still shows photos of her running earlier races as a balding ...

http://youtu.be/gaTKbL8xmiI The mummy of a youngster who lived more than 1,000 years ago in Peru has been discovered by archeologists at a burial site known to house the remains of victims of human sacrifice. The discovery dating back to pre-Inca times was made Monday on the outskirts of the capital of Lima. The mummy, still bearing pieces of skin and tufts of hair, was found in an underground tomb wrapped in a funerary bundle, along with ancient ceramics and rope. Archaeologist Yomira Huaman, in charge of the Cajamarquilla research project affiliated with the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, described the mummified teen as being in a “good state of conservation.” Although Peru is best known for the world-famous Inca royal retreat Machu Picchu, the South American country was ...

http://youtu.be/MtuU2uaJpKU A “demonic” MS-13 gang member robbed and dismembered an Uber Eats driver in Florida last week as his wife waited for him to complete his final delivery of the night, police announced Tuesday. Oscar Solis, 30, who moved to the Sunshine State in January after being sprung on parole from Indiana, allegedly “yanked” Randall Cooke, 59, into his home on April 19 and butchered him, according to Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco. “He was just a guy trying to make a living for his family,” Nocco said at a press conference, calling the murder “demonic.” Cooke texted his wife at 6:43 p.m. to tell her he was en route to his last delivery and would be home soon. When her ensuing texts went unanswered, Cooke’s wife contacted police and reported him missing later that nigh...

http://youtu.be/v-MijW5F0-o Controversial transgender swimmer Lia Thomas slammed her “feminist” adversaries as misogynistic transphobes who reduce women to the value of their reproductive abilities. The NCAA gold medalist told fellow trans swimmer Schuyler Bailar that her own University of Pennsylvania teammates displayed fraud feministic beliefs when they wrote a 2022 letter asking the division to bar Thomas from competition. “They’re like, ‘Oh, we respect Lia, as a woman, as a trans woman or whatever, we respect her identity, we just don’t think it’s fair.’ You can’t really have that sort of half-support where you’re like, ‘Oh, I respect her as a woman here, but not here,'” Thomas said in a Monday episode of Bailar’s new podcast “Dear Schuyler.” “They’re using the guise of feminism t...

http://youtu.be/a0_dpP_PSsg A 3-year-old boy with autism was rescued from Metro-North train tracks by workers on an approaching Metro-North train, a video released Tuesday by the Metropolitan Transit Authority showed. Locomotive Engineer William Kennedy was operating a southbound Hudson Line train around 3:15 p.m. on April 6 when he spotted the child on the northbound tracks near Tarrytown and immediately alerted nearby train crews, the MTA said in a statement. “There’s a little kid north of you guys … just keep an eye out, he just popped out of a wall,” someone can be heard saying over the radio before asking a northbound train to come to a complete stop. That train, helmed by Locomotive Engineer Shawn Loughran and a trainee, is seen proceeding north slowly, looking for the child unti...

http://youtu.be/WVge_mHRdx4 One of the elite Texas cheerleaders targeted in a parking lot shooting earlier this week recalled the moment her friend and teammate was critically wounded during a vigil less than 24 hours after the horrific incident. Heather Roth, 21, spoke through tears during the gathering Tuesday at Woodlands Elite Cheer Company in Oak Ridge, KTRK reported. Roth said she was leaving the gym with three friends, including fellow Woodlands Elite Generals member Payton Washington, shortly after midnight on Tuesday. All four cheerleaders commuted 360 miles round-trip to the gym three times per week, and used an Elgin H-E-B parking lot as a carpool hub, the outlet explained. According to Roth, she exited her friend’s vehicle and opened the door to a car she thought was her o...

http://youtu.be/shRiu5f1uNw Two Iowa teenagers accused of beating to death their Spanish teacher as payback for a bad grade she gave one of them have pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in the savage slaying. Willard Miller and Jeremy Goodale changed their pleas to guilty Tuesday and admitted to killing Fairfield High School teacher Nohema Graber, 66, on Nov. 2, 2021, when they were 16. Miller had met with Graber to discuss his poor grade in her class on the afternoon of her murder, according to investigators. Prosecutors said the evidence showed both teens helped ambush Graber and struck her with a baseball bat in a park while she was taking a walk. Miller admitted to helping plan and carry out the killing but denied ever hitting Graber. Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/04/19/...

http://youtu.be/B1vr8_ZB_80 A man who was seen in a viral Walmart video smashing cases of Busch Light beer in Kansas has been charged with exposing himself to a minor, according to police. J. Dustin David Cain, 44, of Topeka, was arrested Monday night after causing a commotion at the Walmart on SW Wanamaker Road. A TikTok video that has now been viewed more than 306,000 times shows a man, later identified as Cain, removing cases of beer from a Walmart beverage refrigerator and angrily throwing them to the floor. When he notices that he is being filmed by an onlooker, he hurls a couple of loose beer cans into the distance, at one point narrowly missing the amateur cameraman, who is forced to dive for cover. Police later arrive to arrest Cain, who is seen being led away in handcuffs. R...

http://youtu.be/tlPrVGvLP8M Far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene plunged a House Homeland Security Committee hearing into chaos Wednesday by accusing Rep. Eric Swalwell of having a “sexual relationship with a Chinese spy” — leading Democrats to unsuccessfully demand that the remark be purged from the record. Greene (R-Ga.) made the comment moments after Swalwell accused her of “anti-police rhetoric” and showed a print-out of a tweet she wrote promoting “Defund the FBI” merchandise in response to purported bureau bias. “That was quite entertaining from someone that had a sexual relationship with a Chinese spy — and everyone knows it,” Greene shot back, referring to Swalwell’s alleged romance with suspected Chinese agent Fang Fang. “I move to take her words down,” exclaimed Rep. Dan Gol...

http://youtu.be/v2T3MSYPNn8 The 84-year-old man accused of shooting Ralph Yarl outside his Kansas City, Missouri, home after the 16-year-old rang the wrong doorbell pleaded not guilty during his arraignment on Wednesday. Andrew Lester turned himself over to police after he was charged with first-degree assault and armed criminal action, two felonies that carry 10 to 30 years behind bars or life in prison. Lester, who walked with the assistance of a cane, appeared before Clay County Circuit Court Judge Louis Angles wearing a blue and beige letterman-style jacket and khakis. The senior could be seen nodding along to the judge’s instruction following his not-guilty plea. Lester remains free from county jail after posting 10% of his $20,000 bond, with the condition that he is not allowed ...

http://youtu.be/9niBq4UVIZA President Biden misspelled the number “eight” Wednesday during a speech about economic issues in suburban Maryland — shortly after saying in apparent error that his father “never went” to college. “We have a thousand billionaires in America. You know the average tax rate they pay? Eight — E-I-G-H percent — 8%,” Biden said during a visit to a facility of the International Union of Operating Engineers in Accokeek, fewer than 20 miles from the nation’s capital. The 80-year-old president’s error recalled other embarrassing political spelling moments, such as former Vice President Dan Quayle changing a 12-year-old student’s accurate spelling of “potato” to “potatoe” at a 1992 spelling bee. Biden’s remarks focused on blasting proposed budget cuts by House Republic...

http://youtu.be/I8hvkINS6lw Florida lawmakers have approved legislation backed by Gov. Ron DeSantis that would permit the death penalty for those convicted of sexually abusing children. The bipartisan proposal — which passed by a vote of 34-5 late Tuesday — will also allow juries to hand down death sentences by votes of at least 8-4, after previously requiring unanimity. The bill — which passed the Florida House of Representatives 95-14 last week and which DeSantis is expected to sign — would apply to those convicted of abusing a child under the age of 12. “My view is, you have some of these people that will be serial rapists of six, seven-year-old kids,” DeSantis told “Good Morning Orlando” Monday. “I think the death penalty is the only appropriate punishment when you have situations ...

http://youtu.be/39WG_AkGb_c Elon Musk’s SpaceX launched the world’s most powerful rocket, its 500-foot-tall Starship, on a historic test flight Thursday morning — only for it to explode mid-air just minutes later. The giant rocket lifted off from the launch pad in Boca Chica, Texas a few minutes after Thursday’s launch window opened at 8:28 a.m. local time (9:28 a.m. ET). Footage of the launch showed that the rocket — which is poised to take people to the moon as early as 2025 — failed to separate from its booster and began spinning before it blew up as it was 18 miles above the earth.

http://youtu.be/t_mmixEueJc A Boston Marathon runner was caught on camera Monday dropping their shorts on someone’s front lawn in order to relieve themselves during the 26.2 mile-long race. Over 30,000 marathoners partook in the annual run, with many of them finishing in three, four, five hours, or more — and often forgoing a bathroom break. For at least one runner, that was simply too long to wait. In the video, the marathon participant can be seen standing in the far corner of the front lawn, dropping their pants and squatting down.

http://youtu.be/wZjSD6zZ5xg House Republicans voted Thursday to ban transgender female athletes from taking part in girls’ and women’s sports by amending Title IX protections to only include biologically female athletes. The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act passed 219-203, with no Democrats supporting the measure. GOP conference chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) said before the vote that she expected the “historic legislation” would “protect women and girls in sports,” calling out the “unfairness” of permitting biologically male athletes to compete against women. Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC), chairwoman of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, called the legislation “a monumental win for women and girls across our country” — and criticized the Biden administration ...

http://youtu.be/Vuq95T5s3SA The Democratic chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee vowed Thursday to take “seriously” an IRS whistleblower’s claim of a cover-up in the long-running criminal investigation of first son Hunter Biden. “We take all whistleblower statements seriously, as we should. Some turn out to be very important and some not,” Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said during a hearing on judicial nominees. “But we take them all seriously at the outset and look at them closely.” Durbin was responding to the top Republican on the panel, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who called for a “bipartisan” embrace of the currently unidentified IRS employee — who on Wednesday informed key congressional committee leaders that he has information on “preferential treatment” and false testimony to C...

http://youtu.be/u2BsFLEbzXE A fifth suspect was arrested Thursday in connection to the Sweet 16 shooting that killed four people in Alabama over the weekend, including a local high school football prodigy. Johnny Letron Brown, 20 and Willie George Brown, 19, of Tuskegee, were taken into custody and charged with four counts of reckless murder, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) said. Brown’s arrest comes one day after two teen brothers and another 20-year-old man were arrested and charged in relation to the Dadeville massacre. Ty Reik McCullough, 17, and Travis McCullough, 16, both of Tuskegee, were taken into custody Tuesday night, the ALEA said Wednesday. Wilson LaMar Hill Jr., of Auburn, was arrested later that day. All three were charged with reckless murder. Read more at h...

http://youtu.be/LN22jK34usA The Pentagon released a newly declassified video of a UFO soaring above the Middle East last year during a Senate hearing on Wednesday. The footage captured by a US military drone shows a mysterious spherical object zooming across the sky above an active military zone.

http://youtu.be/83Dftd8321g A North Carolina man who allegedly fired shots at a 6-year-old and her parents after a basketball rolled into his yard turned himself in at a Florida police station Thursday after two days on the lam, according to officials. Robert Louis Singletary, 24, handed himself over to authorities in Tampa, over 560 miles from where he allegedly opened fire on his neighbors, police said. Police say Singletary fired on little Kinsley White and her parents, Ashley Hilderbrand and William White, Tuesday after becoming enraged that a young group of kids playing let their basketball land on his Gastonia property. Witnesses said the irate man stormed down the street and fired at a neighbor before shooting at the White family. Kinsley needed stitches on her face from bullet...

http://youtu.be/NR8Un8K00-c Nearly $15 million in gold and other valuables was brazenly snatched from a “high value” shipping container at Canada’s busiest airport earlier this week, authorities said Thursday. The heist unfolded after the cargo was unloaded from a plane shortly after landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport on Monday night. “As per normal procedure, the aircraft was unloaded and cargo was transported from the aircraft to a holding cargo facility,” Peel Regional Police Inspector Stephen Duivesteyn said. “The container contained a high value shipment. It did contain gold but it was not exclusive to gold. It contained other items of monetary value.” Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/04/21/thieves-steal-15m-in-gold-valuables-in-toronto-airport-heist/ #canada #...

Payton McNabb, a senior at Hiwassee Dam High School in Murphy, told state representatives Wednesday that she suffered a concussion and neck injury during a game in September when the trans athlete sent the ball into her face. “Due to the North Carolina High School Athletic Association policy allowing biological males to compete against biological females, my life has forever been changed,” McNabb said, WLOS reported.
