http://youtu.be/fo2Ylzx3tI0 Adidas could be forced to burn as much as $500 million worth of Yeezy sneakers after hastily cutting ties with rapper Kanye West last year over anti-Semitic remarks. The German sportswear giant is left with few good options for its Yeezy brand – a once-popular and lucrative segment of its business that was irrevocably tainted during West’s high-profile meltdown. If Adidas is unable to find buyers for the sneakers, one possible path to resolving the dilemma would be “literally burning the shoes,” the Washington Post reported, citing industry experts. Adidas’ remaining Yeezy inventory is estimated to be worth between $300 million and $500 million. Adidas wouldn’t be the first company to torch its product. Several retailers, including Burberry, Coach, Victoria’...

http://youtu.be/8UyJmsEQwN4 President Biden faltered and nearly fell for at least the fourth time going up the steps of Air Force One on Sunday while boarding his flight back to Delaware from Alabama. Biden, 80, visited the town of Selma to commemorate the 58th anniversary of the “Bloody Sunday” march during the civil rights era and push for Congress to pass sweeping election reform before making his perilous way up to the plane hours later. The oldest-ever president has staggered at least three other times when taking the stairs up to the aircraft, most recently when departing Poland after a three-day trip to Kyiv amid Ukraine’s ongoing war against Russia. In May 2022, Biden lost but quickly regained his balance by grabbing the handrail while boarding the presidential airplane at Andr...

http://youtu.be/0TwkDERDdbM Alex Murdaugh’s older brother is convinced the convicted murderer is still lying over the brutal slayings of his wife and son. “He knows more than what he’s saying,” Randy Murdaugh, 56, told The New York Times of his drug-addicted, serial-lying brother who still denies gunning down wife Maggie, 52, and son Paul, 22. “He’s not telling the truth, in my opinion, about everything there.” Randy’s admission is in sharp contrast to a claim by his 54-year-old brother’s defense team that the whole family was “more convinced” of the disgraced legal scion’s innocence after his six-week trial. “The not knowing … is the worst thing there is,” Randy said of his ongoing doubts about his brother, who is serving two life sentences for the June 7, 2021, double murder.

http://youtu.be/oXLmGgSwOaM An Illinois woman found her husband’s dead body inside their home nearly eight months after he disappeared. Jennifer Maedge reported her husband, Richard Maedge, missing on the afternoon of April 27. Police responded, searched the house, and launched an investigation into his whereabouts. Richard Maege, it turned out, didn’t go anywhere, Fox 59 reported Monday. On Dec. 11, Jennifer went to retrieve some Christmas decorations and was shocked to find her husband’s body in the closet where they were stored.

http://youtu.be/1ggmr9AjfnE Over 100 unaccompanied migrant children were discovered inside an abandoned trailer in Mexico Sunday — one of the largest recent discoveries of minors migrating through the country. Most of the 103 unchaperoned minors had been traveling through Mexico from Guatemala, the government said Monday. In addition to the children were 212 adults from Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Ecuador, the National Migration Institute (INM) said in a statement. Authorities also found 28 migrants traveling as families inside the truck. The families came from Guatemala and El Salvador and brought the total number of migrants to 343.

http://youtu.be/2obQdcUUDLU Two of the four US citizens violently kidnapped in Mexico during a terrifying caught-on-camera cartel shootout Friday have been found dead and two others alive, officials announced Tuesday. One of the surviving Americans was wounded and the other was unharmed, Tamaulipas Gov. Américo Villarreal said. One person has been arrested. The foursome from South Carolina — identified as Latavia “Tay” McGee, Shaeed Woodard, Zindell Brown and Eric James Williams — were abducted at gunpoint in broad daylight on May 4, shortly after they crossed the border from Texas into the crime-ridden border city of Matamoros, located in the northeastern state of Tamaulipas. Shocking video of the abduction shows several gunmen in bulletproof vests targeting the white minivan with No...

http://youtu.be/AUWuVrvEyGg Cops in Atlanta have released new aerial footage that shows dozens of protesters sneaking into the site of a future police training facility in the moments before they allegedly unleashed hell. The large group, described by authorities as “violent agitators,” were caught on a police helicopter’s heat-sensitive camera flooding into the under-construction Atlanta Public Safety Training Center — dubbed “Cop City” — on Sunday. Moments later, the video — which was released late Monday — shows the throngs of protesters setting fire to construction equipment in what police have slammed as a “coordinated attack.” The protesters were also filmed hurling Molotov cocktails, fireworks and bricks at responding officers. At least 23 of them were slapped with domestic ter...

http://youtu.be/oGa48PAIrPE A phony Hasidic dad who found social-media acclaim for adopting nine boys has been charged with sexually abusing most of them — while out on bond in an earlier child sex case, according to disturbing reports. Single dad Hayim Nissim Cohen, 38, regularly blogged about his “unique family” in Houston, gaining nearly 200,000 followers on TikTok. But “behind all that is excessive abuse,” local prosecutor Janna Oswald told a recent court hearing, according to the Houston Chronicle. Cohen — who claimed to be a Hasidic Jew from Brooklyn despite being born Jeffrey Lujan Vejil in the Lone Star State — was busted last month after one of his sons went on a podcast to anonymously report being raped and abused, the local paper noted. The terrified 17-year-old boy told Bl...

http://youtu.be/SWuDEqm-aWM Shocking video footage captures the moment a young mob violently trashed a Chinese restaurant in Queens over the weekend, overturning tables and breaking chairs as terrified staff and customers helplessly looked on. The heinous hooligans left Fish Village in College Point in shambles Saturday, according to a video posted on Twitter by community activist Yiatin Chu. “We’ve fallen so low that there’s no expectation of consequences for this horrific attack on private property,” Chu, president of Asian Wave Alliance and a co-founder of PLACE NYC, wrote in the post. “This video is going viral on WeChat. Fish Village, a restaurant in College Point, Qns was ransacked by a gang of masked kids in hoodies.” Police said the mob stormed the 127th Street restaurant shor...

http://youtu.be/8qqi_Ovn8kU Esther Crawford, the recently fired Twitter executive who gained notoriety for sleeping on the office floor, appeared to accuse former boss Elon Musk of “cruelty.” “Cruelty is the worst,” Crawford tweeted on Tuesday afternoon. Crawford posted the cryptic tweet hours after Musk publicly trolled Haraldur Thorleifsson, a fired Iceland-based Twitter employee who uses a wheelchair due to a muscle-related disorder. Musk was later forced to apologize after alleging Thorleifsson used the disability as an “excuse” to avoid work.

http://youtu.be/SWQkSsmp3HY A former New York Times science editor ripped Dr. Anthony Fauci Wednesday for repeatedly seeking to discredit the so-called “lab leak theory” of COVID-19’s origin — just days after newly released emails showed the former White House chief medical adviser commissioned a paper early in the pandemic meant to disprove it. “Fauci was probably not too pleased to hear that the virus might have escaped from research that his agency had funded,” Nicholas Wade, who also served as an editor for the journals Nature and Science, told the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. Wade was referring to experiments conducted at the Wuhan Institute of Virology with funding from the National Institutes of Health and Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infect...

http://youtu.be/cQlWgJcXNfA The U.S. Justice Department has found Louisville police have engaged in a pattern of violating constitutional rights following an investigation prompted by the fatal police shooting of Breonna Taylor. The announcement was made Wednesday by Attorney Merrick Garland. A Justice Department report found the Louisville/Jefferson County Metro Government and Louisville Metro Police Department “engage in a pattern or practice of conduct that deprives people of their rights under the Constitution and federal law.” The report said Louisville police “discriminate against Black people in its enforcement activities,” uses excessive force and conducts searches based on invalid warrants. It also said the department violates the rights of people engaged in protected speech, l...

http://youtu.be/pCzSMwygX78 Arizona rancher George Kelly told 911 dispatchers there was an “animal lying facedown” on his property after he allegedly shot dead an illegal migrant — and a Border Patrol agent deemed he was being “intentionally vague” with authorities, according to recordings obtained by The Post. Kelly — accused of killing 48-year-old Gabriel Cuen-Buitimea after firing an AK-47 at a fleeing group of unarmed border crossers — begged the Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s office to send officers to his Nogales ranch Jan. 30, but refused to divulge further details. “It’s very serious, ma’am, and I’m not going to talk over the telephone,” a frantic Kelly, 74, told the dispatcher, according to a recording of the call. In the nearly 8-minute phone call, the dispatcher pleaded with Ke...

http://youtu.be/tJ6no3EHlKA Nearly 6,000 US public schools are employing guidance policies that block parents from knowing whether their child identifies as a different gender in the classroom — which could become federal policy if President Biden’s Title IX proposals are approved in May. At least 168 school districts nationwide have rules on the books that prevent faculty and staff from disclosing to parents a student’s gender status without that student’s permission, according to a list compiled by the conservative group Parents Defending Education and shared with The Post. More than 3.2 million students are affected by such policies in all kinds of districts — large and small, affluent and poor, urban and rural, red and blue — stretching from North Carolina to Alaska. The non-compre...

http://youtu.be/qF_gJLgEiPY Iranian scientists could construct the key components of a nuclear bomb in less than two weeks, a top US defense official told lawmakers Tuesday. Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Colin Kahl told the House Armed Services Committee that Iran’s nuclear program had made “remarkable” progress since former President Donald Trump pulled the US out of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, signed by the Obama administration, Iran and five other world powers. “Back in 2018, when the previous administration decided to leave the JCPOA, it would have taken Iran about 12 months to produce one fissile — one bomb’s worth of fissile material,” Kahl said after Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) asked why the Biden administration had attempted to resurrect the deal. “Now, it w...

http://youtu.be/MC_Gh3-l1Wo National teachers’ union boss Randi Weingarten channeled Howard Dean in a maniacal speech on the steps of the Supreme Court on Tuesday that went viral among critics who labeled it a “meltdown.” Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, had co-sponsored a protest against challenges to President Biden’s student debt relief plan brought by six GOP-led states and two applicants who sued because they would not be eligible for full reimbursement under the plan. The union boss of some 1.7 million education workers drew the ire of Twitter when she punctuated her angry speech to hundreds of demonstrators with a series of wild body movements and frantic pointing gestures. “This is what really pisses me off,” the former president of New York City’s ...

http://youtu.be/daqVsmzb-oo President Biden chuckled Wednesday night while knocking Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for falsely blaming him for the 2020 deaths of two Michigan brothers — whose mother emotionally slammed the federal response to surging fentanyl deaths. “A little bit of more of Marjorie Taylor Greene and a few more, you’re gonna have a lot of Republicans running our way. Isn’t she amazing? Whew,” Biden told a gathering of House Democrats in Baltimore of the Georgia Republican. “I was the reason, she was very specific, I shouldn’t digress probably. I’ve read she was very specific recently saying that a mom, a poor mother who lost two kids to fentanyl, that I killed her sons. Well, the interesting thing: That fentanyl they took came during the last administration [hee-hee].” S...

http://youtu.be/xTZlcFQqMGk A juror was dismissed from the Alex Murdaugh trial Thursday just as it is set to go to deliberations — and she bizarrely told the judge she needed to collect 12 eggs she has in the courthouse. The unnamed juror was apparently caught discussing the case outside the courtroom, which is prohibited during a trial. When Colleton County Court Judge Clifton Newman asked her if she needed to collect any personal items, she replied by saying, “a dozen eggs.” The bizarre answer gave everybody a laugh in the South Carolina courtroom, including the judge and Murdaugh himself. Judge Newman explained the dismissal to the courtroom before bringing the juror in. Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/03/02/murdaugh-juror-needed-to-retrieve-a-dozen-eggs-from-court/ #ale...

http://youtu.be/CLXiWvSet-k The Canadian high school teacher who wears massive Z-cup prosthetic breasts in class has been placed on leave after The Post revealed that she rarely wears them outside of school. The Halton School District confirmed that Oakville Trafalgar High School shop teacher Kayla Lemieux was put on paid leave Tuesday. “While not currently on an active assignment, the teacher remains employed with the (Halton District School Board),” spokesperson Heather Francey told the Toronto Sun. Lemieux’s suspension comes after Education Minister Stephen Lecce and Halton Region MPPs Natalie Pierre, Stephen Crawford and Effie Triantafilopoulos rebuked the school board for having “abdicated its responsibility by failing to put the interests and safety of students first,” according ...

http://youtu.be/cbUuTPS34sI A New Jersey woman’s fight against eviction ended in a deadly blaze Wednesday when she intentionally started a fire in the home she shared with dozens of cats and refused to vacate. The woman and dozens of cats died in the massive fire, which broke out shortly after 11 a.m. in Roosevelt, authorities said. State police had served the unidentified woman an eviction notice but she refused to leave and threatened to blow up the house.

http://youtu.be/j3oFU4UJDL8 Comedian Bill Maher told CNN’s Jake Tapper that he thinks the “woke community” is trying to “shut down” any “debate” over transgender issues. During an hourlong sit-down with Tapper on Tuesday night, Maher addressed his views on comedians joking about the transgender community, after the CNN anchor suggested that such jokes “punch down.” “I don’t really agree. I mean, I think the trans community is asking for too much,” said Maher, host of his own show on HBO. “Again, the difference between liberal and woke.” “And it’s great we live in a time where people like that can freely live the lives they should live with all the dignity and protection of the law that we can afford them, like anybody else in society. I think that’s the liberal point of view,” Maher ad...

http://youtu.be/U2VVY6s6K5c OJ Simpson is convinced the disgraced South Carolina legal scion will beat the double murder charges he faces despite having “likely” killed his wife and son in cold blood, the ex-gridiron star said Thursday. The 75-year-old murder case aficionado — who himself was notoriously acquitted for the 1994 slaying of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson — said Murdaugh had turned on the charm on the stand during his high-profile trial. “It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if this guy beats this case,” Simpson said in a video he posted to Twitter. “I realized watching him testify, what he was doing. He was just trying to relate to one or two of those jurors that he was a good ol’ boy, that he was one of them — and I’m not sure he didn’t succeed in doing that,” Simpso...

http://youtu.be/omqYiuQLivk Disgraced South Carolina lawyer Alex Murdaugh was found guilty of the grisly 2021 murders of his wife and son Thursday evening at Colleton County Courthouse in Walterboro. As the jury reconvened at 7 p.m. local time —after just three hours of deliberations —Murdaugh sat ashen-faced on the stand. The foreman announced they had reached a unanimous verdict, which they passed to Judge Clifton Newman. As the two guilty murder verdicts were announced, Murdaugh, 54, stood still and did not speak or react. He was also then found guilty of two counts of possession of a weapon in the commission of a crime. Sitting a few rows back, Murdaugh’s remaining son, Buster, 26, cradled his chin in his hands and also showed no apparent emotion. Addressing the court after the ve...

http://youtu.be/fNe_cyJWD2A Disgraced South Carolina attorney and convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh was sentenced Friday morning to two consecutive life terms for the grisly 2021 murders of his wife and son. The once-prominent legal scion was stone-faced as he learned his fate at the Colleton County Courthouse in Walterboro, just hours after the jury returned the guilty verdicts following less than three hours of deliberation. The sentence was read after a long speech from Judge Clifton Newman, who said it was “heartbreaking” to witness his former colleague’s spectacular fall from grace as it played out in the media over the last year and a half. “When will [the lies] end?” Newman asked Murdaugh, who previously admitted on the stand that he frequently deceived his partners and family in...

http://youtu.be/YgI50mjftuc A major fire erupted at a skyscraper construction site in Hong Kong’s popular shopping district on Thursday night, sending burning debris down onto the street below. The blaze broke out at the site of The Mariners’ Club redevelopment project in the densely populated Tsim Sha Tsui district at about 11 p.m. Multiple floors of the building were engulfed in flames as was the bamboo scaffolding, sending burning debris flying through the air as firefighters worked to contain the blaze. Two people, believed to be motorists, were taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Yau Ma Tei for treatment, Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post reported. Their conditions are unknown. As the fire rapidly spread, explosions could be heard. Firefighters deployed two jets to douse the...

http://youtu.be/Mt9jl8qlzfQ Investor and “Shark Tank” star Kevin O’Leary claimed Friday that blue states in America are “uninvestable” thanks to regulations enacted by politicians and quipped that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is “great at killing jobs.” The business mogul appeared on “CNN This Morning” to discuss the state of the economy after the latest US jobless claim numbers dropped, which showed positive signs regarding low jobless claims. O’Leary said the numbers, combined with a 4% unemployment rate, make for “an extraordinary economy” in which “we’re hiring every day and we’re competing every day.” The mogul noted an interesting wrinkle to the post-pandemic economy — that people don’t want to work in an office anymore because many of them have gotten used to working at...
