http://youtu.be/drxlZs03W1E A Florida state representative was hilariously duped into reading the names “Anita Dick” and “Holden Hiscock” into the record during a committee meeting this week. Republican Will Robinson Jr., who represents Florida House District 71, read a list of people into the record aloud — including the dirty fake names — during the House Civil Justice Subcommittee meeting on Monday, according to Insider Paper. “Anita Dick,” he reads, pausing and looking around as a woman next to him holds up her hand to her mouth. “Is an opponent. Waives in opposition,” he finishes. “Holden Hiscock is also an opponent,” Robinson continued, seemingly unaware of the euphemisms. “Waives in his opposition.” Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/03/23/rep-will-robinson-jr-reads-fake-name...

http://youtu.be/wqGdcDv_0YY A prominent Harvard physicist has planned an ambitious expedition to Papua New Guinea to search for the remnants of a meteorite that he thinks could be an alien probe. Avi Loeb announced that he is organizing the $1.5 million mission to the Pacific island nation to find fragments from CNEOS1 2014-01-08, which slammed into Earth in 2014 after a journey from outside our solar system. “Within a couple of months, I will be leading an expedition to collect the fragments of the first interstellar meteor. This meteor is the first near-Earth object ever detected by humans from outside the solar system,” he wrote on Medium. The scientist — who wrote “Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth” in 2021 — said the meteorite, which is made up of a...

http://youtu.be/ejLH2u96aWQ Vice President Kamala Harris served up another helping of her trademark word salad in comments to mark Women’s History Month. Harris, in her speech at the White House, said she, second gentleman Doug Emhoff, President Biden and first lady Jill were there to “honor the women who made history throughout history” — the latest astoundingly redundant claim she has made during her time in office. “So, during Women’s History Month, we celebrate and we honor the women who made history throughout history, who saw what could be unburdened by what had been,” Harris said. “We see the suffragists, the riveters, the marchers, the mothers and sisters and aunts and grandmothers and daughters, all the giants upon whose broad shoulders we stand,” she added. Harris’ obvious ...

http://youtu.be/sTS6TQDin8Q Former President Donald Trump sparked outrage by sharing images showing him holding a baseball bat next to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s head — as he threatened “death and destruction” if he’s criminally charged Trump, 76, shared the image — featured in a link to an article — on his Truth Social platform Thursday as he devoted his day to attacking the prosecutor for pursuing a case over the “hush money” payout to porn star Stormy Daniels. “They are HUMAN SCUM!” he wrote in one post asking why Bragg “refuses to do the right thing and ‘call it a day?'” He kept on raging until the early hours of Friday with continued incendiary name-calling. “What kind of person can charge another person, in this case a former President of the United States, who go...

http://youtu.be/bTgE-9mkE9s Officials originally suspected foul play in the death of South Carolina teen Stephen Smith — and had heard “rumors” about the student’s link to Buster Murdaugh within weeks of the mysterious supposed hit-and-run, files from the initial investigation reveal. The extensive reports, released this week by FitsNews, include details from officers who responded to the grisly scene in the early hours of July 8, 2015. A suspicious death Smith, 19, was found face-down in the middle of Sandy Run Road in Hampton County, SC, with “some sort of blunt force trauma to the head,” South Carolina Department of Public Safety (SCDPS) Officer D.B. Rowell’s summary of the scene reads. “We see no evidence to suggest the victim was struck by a vehicle,” the note continues. The nurs...

http://youtu.be/Luea1_Ec5kE Iran-backed militants launched another rocket attack on a US military base in Syria on Friday, in a tit-for-tat retaliatory exchange after President Biden ordered “precision airstrikes” on their positions. Three missiles on Friday morning narrowly missed a US base in northeast Syria, with two falling in the nearby Al-Omar oil field and another striking a civilian house, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported. No casualties were reported from the strike. Three of the wounded troops — who serve as part of a coalition to beat back Islamic State militia groups — had to be medically evacuated to Iraq, according to the Pentagon. The missile attack occurred hours after Biden ordered US Central Command to launch “precision airstrikes” from F-15 fighter je...

http://youtu.be/otAPalMsQA0 Podcaster Joe Rogan spoke with mixed martial artist Jorge Masvidal about the Biden family’s scandals being ignored by the same political establishment targeting former President Trump Wednesday. Masvidal praised Trump amid his legal battles, saying the institutions targeting him are proof he defies the establishment, “That’s how you know that he’s doing something right, the one dude that’s fighting for us, that’s actually for the people, they want to crucify him.” “They just don’t want him president again,” Rogan said, noting later that Biden is “so old and so compromised.” The host talked about Biden’s political past as well, suggesting he “was never an impressive guy,” and claiming, “He lied a lot about his record and his education background, he lied abou...

http://youtu.be/8sovO7ljhdg A Florida teen who savagely stabbed a 13-year-old cheerleader to death was sentenced to life in prison Friday morning as the judge described his senseless desire to simply “feel what it was like to kill someone.” Aiden Fucci, 16 — who stabbed Tristyn Bailey 114 times then dumped her body in a wooded area near Jacksonville in 2021 — was handed down the maximum sentence due to the brutal premeditated nature of the murder, said St. Johns County Circuit Judge Lee Smith. “This was not done out of greed. It was not done in retaliation or retribution or revenge. It was not a crime of passion,” Smith declared, according to News4Jax.com. “It was not a crime that was committed because he felt rejected by her. It was not done in a fit of uncontrollable anger. There was...

http://youtu.be/ri8R09lxJcg House Republicans voted overwhelmingly to pass an education bill aimed at protecting parental rights on Friday despite outcry from Democrats like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who likened the law to “fascism.” The GOP passed the Parents Bill of Rights Act in a 213-208 vote, with just five Republicans opposing the measure. No Democrats voted in favor of the bill. “This bill is not complex or complicated,” said Rep. Julia Letlow (R-La.), who authored the bill and defended it Thursday from the House floor. “Nor should it be partisan or polarizing and contrary to what you may hear from my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, it is not an attack on our hard-working teachers, who will always be the heroes in my eyes.” The Parents Bill of Rights — which has ...

http://youtu.be/8IPioN2qktQ A suspicious powder was sent to the Manhattan district attorney’s office in Lower Manhattan on Friday, court officials said. The powder was found in an envelope — marked “Alvin” — delivered by the US Postal Service to the mailroom at 80 Centre St., court officials confirmed. NYPD officers were on the scene just after noon, and no injuries were reported, the official said. The powder was deemed not hazardous about three hours later, according to the official. The DA has informed the office staff that the potential threat was immediately contained and that the NYPD Emergency Services Unit and the NYC Department of Environmental Protection determined there was no dangerous substance, a DA spokesperson said.

http://youtu.be/K1uiLNY9Nro Joe Biden was portrayed as a hapless buffoon on “SNL” — “Saudi Night Live.” Saudi Arabia’s state-run television network aired a skit where the actor playing the president stumbles as he climbs the staircase leading to Air Force One while the comic portraying Vice President Kamala Harris looks on in horror. The skit poked fun at the real-life gaffes of the 80-year-old Biden, who has had a penchant for frequently losing his balance. In another snippet from the show “Studio 22” that went viral on Friday, the actor portraying Biden is seen wrapping up a speech and waving from a podium at the White House to two flags behind him. He then salutes and steps down from the podium, taking a couple of steps forward and extending his hand to another person, only to real...

http://youtu.be/U_kOm8D5U2M President Biden on Friday accidentally praised “China” when he meant to say Canada during a speech to parliament members in Ottawa — just moments after he conspicuously failed to identify China when discussing fentanyl smuggling. “Today, I applaud China for stepping up,” the 80-year-old president said, before halting and adding, “excuse me, I applaud Canada.” Biden quickly added, “You can tell what I’m thinking about China. I won’t get into that yet.” The US leader made the error while discussing how Canada’s government agreed to accept more migrants from Latin American countries — immediately after not mentioning China at all while discussing fentanyl, which is driving a surge in US overdose deaths. “We’re tackling the scourge of synthetic drugs that are d...

http://youtu.be/Y0ppv3EwHKc Former President Donald Trump said he expects to be arrested Tuesday in Manhattan — and urged his followers to protest his looming indictment. The former president cited “ILLEGAL LEAKS FROM A CORRUPT & HIGHLY POLITICAL MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE” in his Saturday morning post on Truth Social. .”THE FAR & AWAY LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE & FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK. PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!” he thundered in an all caps missive to his followers on Truth Social Saturday morning. “THEY’RE KILLING OUR NATION AS WE SIT BACK & WATCH. WE MUST SAVE AMERICA!PROTEST, PROTEST, PROTEST!!!.” he roared in a follow-up message. Trump is facing possible indictment over a $130,000...

http://youtu.be/mBpVFkD08II New York’s stores and restaurants struggling after the pandemic have a new headache, besides inflation and crime. A state court’s aggressive reinterpretation of a more-than-century-old law puts businesses on the hook for potentially billions of dollars in unexpected costs. If you have a job, you probably get paid every two weeks — the most common schedule by which employers pay workers. The federal government pays workers every two weeks, as does the city. New York law has long carved out an exception: “A manual worker shall be paid weekly.” Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/03/19/insane-state-law-poses-huge-new-threat-to-new-york-jobs/ #newyork #jobs #laws #economy #business The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York...

http://youtu.be/fYslk8KvMX8 Croatian authorities halted traffic, blasted emergency sirens and evacuated part of the historic port city of Rijeka on Sunday so they could detonate a massive Nazi ship mine found still buried in the seabed. Croatian police released videos of the complex and dangerous operation that showed divers fixing straps to the 1,500-pound piece of aged World War II ordnance so it could be moved. Another video showed the distant explosion of the device that sent a tremendous plume of seawater skyward. The anti-ship mine was found in June near the port on the Adriatic Sea. Officials moved it further away from the city before detonating it with a special police unit.

http://youtu.be/R_ji1S053Q0 Artificial intelligence has developed a treatment for cancer in just 30 days and can predict a patient’s survival rate. In a new study published in the journal Chemical Science, researchers at the University of Toronto along with Insilico Medicine developed a potential treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with an AI drug discovery platform called Pharma.AI. HCC is the most common type of liver cancer and occurs when a tumor grows on the liver, according to Cleveland Clinic. Researchers applied AlphaFold, an AI-powered protein structure database, to Pharma.AI to uncover a novel target — a previously unknown treatment pathway — for cancer and developed a “novel hit molecule” that could bind to that target without aid. The creation of the potential dr...

http://youtu.be/eV66dZ0ODng Billionaire investor Warren Buffett reportedly engaged in talks with top members of the Biden administration as turmoil engulfed the US banking system. The Berkshire Hathaway chairman has had “multiple conversations” with President Biden’s team over the last week, Bloomberg reported on Saturday, citing people familiar with the matter. During the calls, Buffett and administration officials purportedly discussed the possibility of the billionaire helping to stabilize the situation by potentially investing in the regional banking system. Regional banks faced a run from worried depositors after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank of New York.

http://youtu.be/FNcFW3AXZ54 Chris Rock joked that former President Donald Trump was “romantic” for allegedly paying off porn star Stormy Daniels — while calling lawmakers “stupid” for wanting him arrested, warning it will only inflate his popularity. The 58-year-old funnyman addressed the expected arrest as he helped honor Adam Sandler at the Mark Twain Prize late Sunday — directly addressing lawmakers in the audience, including Nancy Pelosi. ‘”Are you guys really going to arrest Trump?” Rock asked the crowd, according to the Daily Mail, which noted that several officials from the Biden administration were in the Kennedy Center crowd. “Do you know this is only going to make him more popular. It’s like arresting Tupac” Shakur, he quipped of the late rapper. Read more at https://nypost....

http://youtu.be/Y9TD1IIXvL8 An OnlyFans model jailed for killing the father of her three children is calling for her prison to implement conjugal visits so that she can have sex behind bars. Abigail White — who has described herself as a “fake Barbie” because of her blond locks, big breasts and plump pout — stabbed her boyfriend Bradley Lewis, 22, in the heart with a 17-centimeter kitchen knife when he tried to break up with her at their home in Kingswood, England, on Mar. 25 last year. White is now serving a minimum 18-year sentence at HMP Eastwood Park, a jail in Gloucestershire, and is urging the UK prison system to change its rules regarding raunchy visitation rights so that she can have her “needs” met. “It has come to my attention, after recently being sentenced to 18 years, that...

http://youtu.be/97D5Fx88SzQ Alex Murdaugh’s surviving son, Buster, on Monday “unequivocally” denied “vicious rumors” that he was involved in the death of a gay former classmate he was linked to romantically. Buster Murdaugh, 26, spoke out for the first time as the body of Stephen Smith, 19, is due to be exhumed nearly eight years after he was mysteriously found dead in the road near the South Carolina home where Alex later gunned down his wife, Maggie, 52, and son Paul, 22. Smith’s death in July 2015 close to the Murdaughs’ Moselle estate — where Alex gunned down his wife and son — was initially ruled a hit-and-run. It was reopened just weeks after the slayings of Maggie and Paul “based upon information gathered during the course of the double murder investigation,” officials said at ...

http://youtu.be/z9zStIgBU74 Firefighters are battling a massive blaze that has fully engulfed a New Jersey church Monday in a shocking scene. Teams have been trying to put out the flames shooting out of the Fountain of Life Center in Burlington County since about 6 p.m., officials said. Footage from news choppers showed firetrucks blasting water at the roaring fire inside the building, which also houses a Christian school from preschool to grade 12. Towering flames and smoke lit up the night sky in the video taken by Skyforce10 after dark. The fire reached four alarms just before 7:30 p.m. and teams on the ground asked neighboring counties to send additional emergency crews.

http://youtu.be/OU2RXnsN8lE It was a restless night for Donald Trump, who ripped into ex-porn star Stormy Daniels on Monday, claiming he’s a victim as a possible criminal indictment looms. Trump launched the tirade on his social media platform Truth Social, saying he was the victim of a “Stormy ‘Horse Face’ Daniels extortion plot,” since alleging his impending arrest by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg over an alleged hush-money payment to the former adult film star before the 2016 election. The ex-POTUS added he is being targeted by a series of “horrible radical left Democrat” investigations. “Whether it’s the Mar-a-Lago raid, the Unselect Committee hoax, or the perfect Georgia phone call — it was absolutely perfect — or the Stormy ‘horse face’ Daniels extortion plot, they are ...

http://youtu.be/KGPHXFTrJLY The Colorado dentist charged with killing his wife allegedly poisoned her so he could start a new life with his alleged lover, according to an arrest warrant affidavit. James Toliver Craig, 45, had flown in his mistress, a Texas orthodontist with whom he had exchanged “sexually explicit” emails, to Denver while the mother of his six children was dying in the hospital, allegedly by his own doing, investigators said in the document. Craig had searched online for what poisons could kill a person without detection and ordered a canister of toxic potassium cyanide to his office just two days before his 43-year-old wife, Angela Craig, was admitted to the hospital after complaining of dizziness and headaches, according to the affidavit obtained by the Daily Beast. ...

http://youtu.be/4qI9AjUCUuY People and their pets may be able to transmit drug-resistant “superbugs” to each other, new research suggests. The research — which will be presented at this year’s European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases (ECCMID) in Copenhagen on April 15 — noted that cross-transmission cases are rare and it’s still unclear if pets are giving germs to people or the other way around. “Our findings verify that the sharing of multidrug-resistant organisms between companion animals and their owners is possible,” lead researcher Dr. Carolin Hackmann said in a release. “However, we identified only a handful cases suggesting that neither cat nor dog ownership is an important risk factor for multidrug-resistant organism colonization in hospital patients....

http://youtu.be/_sKVJ_i-FVw Dr. Anthony Fauci and DC Mayor Muriel Bowser got roundly rejected when they went door-to-door pitching the COVID-19 vaccine at the height of the pandemic, newly unearthed video shows. A clip from the upcoming episode of PBS’ “American Masters” series shows Fauci, 82, and the Democratic mayor making the rounds in the Anacostia neighborhood in June 2021, Fox News reported. At the time, he was the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. “They’re sort of the disenfranchised group that we’ve got to reach out to,” Fauci says to the camera, referring to the residents of the historically black neighborhood where vaccination rates were low. One man greeted the duo with a heavy dose of skepticism. Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/0...

http://youtu.be/R6FOjSTavqo Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham is putting his money on former President Donald Trump to beat incumbent President Joe Biden in 2024. During an interview on “The Daily Show” Monday night, the South Carolina conservative bet $20 on Trump to win his third run for the presidency. “I look at the policies of Trump, and I like the policies of Trump,” he told guest host and former Democratic Sen. Al Franken. “And at the end of the day, he’s got to prove to people, not me, that he’s able to lead us again, and that will be a challenge for him.” Graham, 67, added, “And that’ll be a challenge for Biden, to say, give me four more years after the last four. We’ll see what happens.” Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/03/21/lindsey-graham-bets-al-franken-20-that-trump-be...

http://youtu.be/YIBGKlTZuMY Cops who failed to rush in during the Uvalde school massacre repeatedly admitted to being too scared of the teen shooter’s AR-15 “battle rifle,” according to a new investigation. Body-camera footage captured some of the first responders to Robb Elementary last May warning that shooter Salvador Ramos, 18, had an “AR,” according to a new report by the Texas Tribune. “He has a battle rifle,” someone warned, as another officer getting the same warning reacted with a blunt “F–k.” “What’s the safest way to do this? I’m not trying to get clapped out,” State Trooper Richard Bogdanski was heard asking while still outside the school. While mass-shooter training tells officers to risk their lives to immediately try to end the carnage, officers repeatedly admitted they...

http://youtu.be/-Oko1tHETeI A pair of high school athletes from Illinois were killed in a sledding accident during a spring break trip to Colorado over the weekend, officials said. The victims, identified by school officials as Dylan Bazzell and Drew Fehr, were riding tandem down a half-pipe at Copper Mountain Ski Resort on Sunday night when their sled launched off a large snowbank, the Summit County Sheriff’s Office said Monday. “The two individuals came down hard on the hard ice below, causing blunt force trauma,” the statement read. First responders arrived around 8:35 p.m., but were unable to revive the two teens, who were both pronounced dead at the scene. Police said the victims were 17 and 18 years old, but did not release their names. Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/03/2...

http://youtu.be/RdhfjQKdH_M It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s just space trash! California residents near the Bay Area were left shocked and puzzled when streaks of lights were suddenly spotted in the sky during Friday’s St. Patrick’s Day celebration. Viral video of the phenomenon had many quickly jumping on the idea of UFOs or another one of Elon Musk’s Starlink satellites launching, but famed astronomer Jonathan McDowell said it was nothing more than space junk burning up in the atmosphere. McDowell, of the Harvard–Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, said the lights were caused by debris tossed from the International Space Station in 2020, which remained in orbit for years before finally crashing. “It probably almost completely burnt up during re-entry, but any small surviving debris...
