http://youtu.be/dQgCObEpSjg A 41-year-old woman has died after pushing a fellow climber out of the way to save her when a massive ice column from a frozen Utah waterfall split, officials said. The climber, identified by friends as Meg O’Neill, had been attempting to scale the frozen Raven Falls when a massive ice column split and fell in Indian Canyon Sunday, the Duchesne County Sheriff’s Office, O’Neill managed to push a 21-year-old woman out of the way of falling ice, which officials wrote “probably saved her life.” But O’Neill wound up crushed beneath “two huge blocks of ice,” resulting in her death. A 34-year-old man who accompanied the two female climbers was severely injured after falling 40 feet. Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/04/05/meg-oneill-crushed-by-ice-saving-anot...

http://youtu.be/i--9UqROQHo Although the landmark 34-count criminal case against former President Donald Trump hinges on his alleged hush-money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels, the Manhattan DA’s investigation also deals with a less familiar name — Karen McDougal. McDougal, a 52-year-old former Playboy Playmate, claims she had an affair with Trump over a decade ago. She also says she was silenced when Michael Cohen, Trump’s former personal attorney, and the leadership at American Media Inc. paid her for her story in the run-up to the 2016 election — and then buried it. Learn more about McDougal, her alleged relationship with Trump and her part in the ongoing saga over the blockbuster criminal charges against the 45th president and 2024 presidential candidate.

http://youtu.be/rXulqw1sgxk A former protection officer for Russian President Vladimir Putin has detailed how he defected to try to help stop the war on Ukraine being waged by an increasingly paranoid “war criminal.” “Our president has become a war criminal,” warned Gleb Karakulov, who had been a communications expert for Putin’s secretive elite personal security team, the Federal Protective Service, or FSO. “It is time to end this war and stop being silent.” From a secret hiding spot, Karakulov said he felt compelled to raise the alarm even though his mother fears his defection made him a “foreign agent” — and a once-close colleague called him a “scumbag.” “Patriotism is when you love your country,” said Karakulov, who is listed as a wanted man in the Russian Interior Ministry’s pub...

http://youtu.be/SkSHCOAx0UA Jay-Z sums up what it takes to be a billionaire and an entertainer: “I’m not a businessman, I’m a business, man.” He and several business-savvy celebrities from Tinseltown have graced Forbes‘ list of the world’s richest billionaires. Singer Rihanna and reality star Kim Kardashian have risen along with Jay-Z to top billionaire status on the list that was released April 4. However, the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” personality’s ex-husband Kanye West fell off the tally after his brand partnership with Adidas ended earlier this year. Rihanna, creator of Fenty Beauty, 35, took the spot at number 2,002 and is worth $1.4 billion.

http://youtu.be/wI6bvvmOjEE Nearly 200 Baltimore Catholic clergy members and administrators were exposed Wednesday as sexual predators as part of a sweeping four-year investigation by the Maryland attorney general. The “Report on Child Sexual Abuse in the Archdiocese of Baltimore” — released during Holy Week and just four days before Easter — describes how the religious leaders used their authority and trust to sexually abuse more than 600 children over the past 80 years, a corruption that was covered up by the church. “This Report illustrates the depraved, systemic failure of the Archdiocese to protect the most vulnerable — the children it was charged to keep safe,” AG Anthony Brown said in a statement. “Based on hundreds of thousands of documents and untold stories from hundreds of s...

http://youtu.be/i2m3ZO2tErk Celebrity lawyer Alan Dershowitz predicted that former President Donald Trump will “probably” be convicted of the 34 criminal charges he faces in left-leaning New York – but that the conviction could ultimately be tossed out on appeal. Dershowitz, 84, made the remarks during an appearance on “The Charlie Kirk Show” this week, shortly after Trump, 76, pleaded not guilty to over 30 felony counts of falsifying business records in the Manhattan Supreme Court. “I don’t think I could get this case dismissed,” Dershowitz, who represented Trump during his first impeachment trial, told Kirk. “I don’t think that if you had the best lawyers in the history of the world – Abraham Lincoln and John Marshall – a New York City judge would dismiss this case because that New Y...

http://youtu.be/hswTnN0XzTY Air pollution can cause lung cancer without mutating cells, a new study found. Published Wednesday in the journal Nature, the study analyzed the presence of lung cancer in non-smokers, using mice as test subjects. The researchers found that, instead of causing mutations, the exposure to pollution resulted in inflammation which fostered tumor growth in tissue with existing mutations. Typically inactive, the cancer-causing mutations naturally accumulate as time goes on, according to professor Charles Swanton, of London’s Francis Crick Institute, one of the study authors.

http://youtu.be/S9WYt059SOA At least 34 rockets were fired from southern Lebanon into Israel on Thursday after the Iran-backed terror group Hezbollah denounced an Israeli police raid on Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa mosque and pledged to take “all measures … to deter the enemy.” Israeli officials say that just five of the rockets made it past the Jewish state’s Iron Dome defense system, with one injury reported — the largest attack from the north since 2006 when Hezbollah fired thousands of rockets into Israel during a 34-day conflict. The rockets injured one man with shrapnel and one woman who was running for a bomb shelter, according to Israel’s EMS service.

http://youtu.be/y3zuF3uBPaA An Ohio bus driver who went viral for a foul-mouthed tirade at students has become the inspiration for a T-shirt — as well as a nearly $60,000 fundraiser trying to help her retire. Jackie Miller told 3News that her rant — in which she threatened to “start kicking some f–kin’ serious ass” because she was “done with the s–t” — followed at least two years of needling by a core group of kids on her Amherst route. “I’m sorry for the way this went down, I truly am,” the driver said of the rant on a particularly “challenging” day, which she claims happened after a student sprayed perfume and sparked “a horrible asthma attack.” “I do apologize for my actions on that day. But — I won’t take it back,” she said of the scolding that ended with her resignation. Read mor...

http://youtu.be/NJZmEXFX4nc Donald Trump’s blustery attacks on New York authorities in the wake of his arraignment on more than 30 felony charges this week were blasted as “despicable” by a former prosecutor — who also said the former president has behaved worse than a “mob boss.” “This is appalling … you do not have this behavior from a mob boss!” former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann said on MSNBC Tuesday. “There is a rule in organized crime: You do not do this with respect to prosecutors. You don’t do this with respect to the judge. You certainly don’t go after their families. It’s bad business to do that.” Trump, 76, pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to 34 counts of falsifying business documents in connection to alleged hush-money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels.

http://youtu.be/wwBVcfRhtS0 Podcaster Joe Rogan slammed the cultural outrage over misgendering a school shooter, and spoke with journalist Michael Shellenberger about how such ideology is a sign of civilization in decline. A transgender shooter killed students and faculty in March at The Covenant Christian elementary school in Nashville. News outlets backpedaled on how to refer to the shooter, who was born a woman and initially reported as such, after transgender activists slammed them for misgendering or “deadnaming” the assailant. Rogan expressed contempt and shock at how “wild” is it that many people would defend the preferred gender identity of a school shooter, “There’s all these articles that came out about the misgendering of the school shooter.” Read more at https://nypost.co...

http://youtu.be/eJZ45LKpqew The White House Thursday released its first after-action review of the disastrous 2021 US withdrawal from Afghanistan – without taking responsibility for its role in the rushed evacuation mission blighted by the deaths of 13 US troops and hundreds of Afghans in an ISIS suicide bombing. As National Security Council spokesman John Kirby took questions from reporters about the 12-page document — released moments before he met the media — President Biden himself slipped out the front door of the White House to a waiting helicopter, departing Washington to spend the Easter holiday weekend at Camp David. The 12-page review blames former President Donald Trump’s administration for pledging to the Taliban that the US would leave Afghanistan by May 2021 as part of th...

http://youtu.be/i39Y4ge4fJU Donald Trump’s lawyer Joe Tacopina once called the hush money case the former president is currently embroiled in “fair game” for prosecutors during an interview five years ago. Tacopina, who is representing Trump in the 34-count indictment brought forth by Manhattan prosecutors, has called the case a “joke.” However, he believed it to be a more serious matter during an appearance on CNN in 2018. Speaking then with CNN’s Laura Coates and New York Times journalist Frank Bruni, Tacopina called the alleged deal between Trump and porn star Stormy Daniels an “illegal agreement.” In a now-viral clip of the segment, Tacopina said: “If there’s an issue with that payment to Stormy Daniels, being that it was made on behalf of the candidate, and it was not declared, t...

http://youtu.be/ZQkMeyQUKxU Olympic legend Sharron Davies is leading calls to boycott Nike over its campaign with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney — which she ripped as “literally a kick in the teeth” to women. “We can protest,” the retired UK swimmer told GB News late Thursday of the divisive campaign she says reflects the “total disdain that women are being treated with.” “It’s what’s left for us at the moment because nobody really seems to be listening to the general public,” she said. “So the only way we can actually make these companies and make governments listen is to boycott with our wallet.” Davies, 60, was just the latest to call for a boycott over the campaign, with other celebs taking the same action against Bud Light for putting Mulvaney’s face on cans to celebrate “365 da...

http://youtu.be/GeKzMdimSXo A Colorado teen who was arrested last month for allegedly planning to commit a mass shooting at her former middle school owned a copy of “The Communist Manifesto” — and blasted former President Donald Trump as a “con man” in her own writings, authorities said. Lilly Whitworth, 19, wrote a detailed manifesto and possessed floor plans of her intended target before she was busted on March 31 for making threats to various schools, including Timberview Middle School, which she once attended, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by news station KRDO. She also owned a copy of “The Communist Manifesto” by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, according to an arrest affidavit. Published in 1848, the pamphlet is an explosive analytical critique of capitalism – though i...

http://youtu.be/FsditAZN6oU Israel launched rare strikes in southern Lebanon early Friday and pressed on with bombing targets in the Gaza Strip, marking a widening escalation in the region following violence this week at Jerusalem’s most sensitive holy site. The cross-border fighting erupted during a time of heightened religious fervor — when Jews are celebrating the Passover holiday and Muslims are marking the Ramadan holy month. In 2021, an escalation also triggered by clashes at Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, spilled over into an 11-day war between Israel and Gaza’s Hamas rulers. Friday’s strikes in southern Lebanon came a day after militants fired nearly three dozen rockets from there at Israel, wounding two people and causing some property damage. The Israeli military said ...

http://youtu.be/mWtmclB2zSI There’s a “runaway” black hole is tearing through the universe — and NASA is calling it an “invisible monster on the loose.” “There’s an invisible monster on the loose, barreling through intergalactic space so fast that if it were in our solar system, it could travel from Earth to the moon in 14 minutes,” NASA wrote in a release. The supermassive black hole created a never-before-seen trail of stars, leaving behind a 200,000-light-year-long “contrail” of newborn stars twice the diameter of the Milky Way. It’s pushing into gas in front of it to create the new star formation in a narrow corridor rather than eating up the stars ahead of it. “The black hole is streaking too fast to take time for a snack,” NASA quipped.

http://youtu.be/VKM2owyx7P8 Cash App creator Bob Lee was screaming for help moments after he was stabbed then collapsed and died, according to chilling 911 audio. “There’s a male screaming ‘help,’ saying ‘someone stabbed me,'” a dispatcher can be heard saying in the 911 call. “Advised he is bleeding out.” Lee, 43, who formerly served as the chief technology officer of Square, was attacked in the city’s Rincon Hill neighborhood around 2:35 a.m. Tuesday, according to San Francisco Police officials.

http://youtu.be/ktsJZTWE_lA An Idaho school board trustee is facing calls for his resignation after telling Gov. Brad Little that he will be “pissing on your grave” for outlawing gender-affirming care for kids. “F–k you @GovernorLittle,” tweeted Shiva Rajbhandari after the governor signed a bill that threatens up to 10 years in prison for anyone giving hormones or puberty blockers to those under 18. “I pray you live a long life so you can bear witness to the pain you’ve unleashed on Idaho’s children and families today,” wrote the Boise School District board trustee. “When you do die though, I’m pissing on your grave.” Rajbhandari — just 18 and the first student to ever serve on the school board — maintained in a follow-up tweet that the “law is unconstitutional.” Read more at https:/...

http://youtu.be/bc4ijxP6_Tk An 11-year-old New Jersey girl died by suicide in her school bathroom, police say, just days after her detective dad’s death from cancer – and a week after her mom said she had emailed school officials that she was being bullied. The sixth-grade student, identified by her mom as Felicia LoAlbo-Melendez, was found unresponsive inside a bathroom stall by another student around 1 p.m. Feb. 6 at F.W. Holbein School in Mount Holly, the Daily Voice reported. “Help was immediately sought from staff members, and lifesaving measures were taken by school officials, police and emergency medical technicians,” the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office told New Jersey 101.5.

http://youtu.be/gKgS8TQgiWg Outspoken GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) doubled down on calling Democrats “pedophiles,” blasted establishment Republicans and demanded that the US stop the flow of aid money to Ukraine in a wide-ranging and fiery “60 Minutes” interview Sunday. Taylor Greene, also known as MTG, made numerous controversial comments during her sit-down with veteran reporter Lesley Stahl — and was promptly panned by many across social media. In one of the more shocking moments, the Georgia lawmaker responded, “I would definitely say so” when Stahl pressed her on previous comments she has made about Democrats being “the party of pedophiles.” “They support grooming children,” Taylor Greene, 48, said without providing evidence. “Democrats support — even Joe Biden the pre...

http://youtu.be/obdnzxAZvRs A pro-war Russian military blogger died Sunday in a café explosion in St Petersburg — after he was presented with a bomb disguised as a gift.

http://youtu.be/oL-8_Pmhnmc A Delta jetliner was forced to abruptly abort its takeoff after another plane made a wrong turn near the runway at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport – the latest in a string of alarming close calls across the US. Flight 1482 was barreling down the runway Friday night on its departure for Salt Lake City with 164 passengers and six crew members aboard, Fox 8 Live reported. Around the same time, a private Learjet made a wrong turn onto a taxiway after landing and came too close to the Delta plane, which slammed on the brakes. “The Learjet never crossed the hold short line. The controller cancelled the takeoff clearance for the Delta Airbus A321 out of an abundance of caution,” the Federal Aviation Administration said, according to Fox 13. Pilot...

http://youtu.be/JH_8SrrZsLc A Polish woman who believes she’s the missing British girl Madeleine McCann is not the same person who was abducted in Portugal in 2007, results of a DNA test concluded. Julia Faustyna, 21, had been claiming on Instagram and TikTok that she may be McCann, who disappeared from a family holiday more than a decade ago, because of their shared age and appearance. The results were revealed late Monday by Fia Johansson, a private investigator working with Faustyna. “She is absolutely 100 percent from Poland,” Johansson told RadarOnline.com. “She is a small percentage of Lithuanian and Russian but the test results show she is Polish.” Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/04/04/polish-girl-claiming-to-be-madeleine-mccann-gets-negative-dna-test/ #juliafaustyna #ma...

http://youtu.be/zavyCAoJFpk The fugitive former aide to Republican ex-Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan was shot dead Monday night during a confrontation with federal authorities. Roy McGrath’s death put an end to a three-week manhunt for him that began after he fled before the start of his trial for wire fraud, embezzlement, misconduct in office and improper use of state funds last month. FBI agents found McGrath near Knoxville, Tenn., around 6:30 p.m. Monday, and he was shot and killed during the confrontation, according to his attorney and federal authorities, the Baltimore Banner reports. It’s unclear if gunfire from the agents or a self-inflicted wound killed the former Maryland governor’s chief of staff. The FBI did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
