http://youtu.be/JG-egbOAQ4o Pope Francis criticized laws that criminalize homosexuality as “unjust” — while still maintaining that being gay is “a sin.” “Being homosexual isn’t a crime,” Francis said Tuesday during an interview at the Vatican hotel where he lives. “It’s not a crime. Yes … it’s a sin. Fine, but first let’s distinguish between a sin and a crime,” the 86-year-old pontiff said of Catholic teaching that holds that homosexual acts are “intrinsically disordered.” “It’s also a sin to lack charity with one another,” he stressed.

http://youtu.be/hQA2bTBEd1A A Belgian doctor has furiously denied that his country acts as a “euthanasia dispenser” for the rest of Europe after a French YouTube star said she was heading there for assisted suicide. Dr. Yves de Locht — a Brussels physician who has been practicing euthanasia for more than a decade — made the claim in an interview with Le Parisien, which was translated by the Telegraph on Monday. “One can euthanize young people, but specialists must certify that the disease is incurable,” de Locht declared, refuting allegations Belgium is a “death ward.” Euthanasia has been legal in Belgium for nearly two decades, but a patient must be in “constant and unbearable physical or mental suffering that cannot be alleviated.” About 2,500 people are euthanized there every year. ...

http://youtu.be/X6YQo0MKHeM The hunt is on for David Miscavige, the fiery, controversial and elusive head of Scientology, who’s being sought by lawyers in a civil child trafficking suit brought by former church members in federal court. The case involves three plaintiffs who once belonged to the sect’s notorious military-style Sea Org and who allege they were forced into the church as kids and had to work into adulthood for almost no pay. Valeska Paris, along with married couple Gawain and Laura Baxter, filed the complaint last year after quitting Sea Org more than a decade ago. According to the plaintiffs’ lawyers, process servers have tried 27 times over four months to serve Miscavige in both Los Angeles, where Scientology has a formidable presence, as well as its headquarters in Cl...

http://youtu.be/_m2WNwJpsr0 The Massachusetts mom accused of strangling her two young kids and trying to kill her infant before jumping out a window had revealed online months earlier that she was struggling with her mental health after giving birth. Lindsay Clancy, 32, opened up about her battle with postpartum anxiety on Facebook in July, months before the shocking violence at her home in Duxbury on Tuesday, the Boston Globe reported. Six weeks after the birth of her third child, the mom of three shared another post about how she felt “dialed in” again. She said she was focusing on exercise, nutrition and her mindset — noting “it has made all the difference,” the outlet reported.

http://youtu.be/DMbhkBfj0Vs ​Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband sold 30,000 shares of Google stock in December — a month before the Justice Department and eight states sued the tech giant over alleged antitrust violations, according to a report. Multimillionaire Paul Pelosi, ​82, who runs a San Francisco-based investment and venture capital firm, sold the shares in Alphabet, Google’s holding company, in three different transactions between Dec. 20 and Dec. 28, 2022, Fox Business reported on Wednesday, citing congressional disclosure files. The amounts ranged between $500,001 and $1 million, the Jan. 12 Periodic Transaction Report filing by Nancy Pelosi said. The transactions yielded capital gains of more than $200 but the total amount is unclear, Fox reported. Read more at ...

http://youtu.be/TVyoSJvRdfA A bus in Turkey carrying seven passengers plunged into a reservoir after the driver lost steering control on Wednesday (January 25). The municipality bus in the eastern Turkish city of Malatya was boarding a ferry to cross the dam lake when the accident occurred. CCTV footage from inside the bus showed the moment of panic for the bus driver and passengers as water flooded into the vehicle after it had fallen. The local governor said there were no fatalities as a result of the incident, three passengers had been hospitalized with non-life-threatening conditions. #turkey #accident #caughtoncamera The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, fashion, and more.

http://youtu.be/eBb9f_SO0hw The estranged wife of a transgender woman who was convicted of raping two women when she was a man has accused the “monster” of “bulls—-ing” authorities to get “an easier life in prison” — after she was sent to a female prison to await sentencing. Shonna Graham, 31, told the Daily Mail that she had only known Isla Bryson, also 31, as shaven-headed Adam Graham, the name he was still using in 2020 during a court appearance for the rape of two women. “When I saw the photos of him dressed as a woman with a blond wig and pink Lycra leggings, I fell out of bed laughing,” she said of the “monster” rapist.

http://youtu.be/Y_QObziJkt8 While artificial intelligence systems might make lives exponentially easier, they could also have a sinister side effect — making us go extinct. That’s right, researchers are deeming rogue AI an “existential threat to humanity” that needs to be regulated like nuclear weapons if we are to survive. “With superhuman AI there is a particular risk that is of a different sort of class, which is . . . it could kill everyone,” warned Michael Cohen, a doctoral student at Oxford University, the Times of London reported. Meanwhile, his colleague Michael Osborne, who teaches machine learning at the UK university, forecasts that advanced AI could “pose just as much risk to us as we have posed to other species: the dodo is one example.” The scientists’ ominous forecast co...

http://youtu.be/cQWeo3j7fws President Biden called Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.) by the name “Doug” four times Thursday during a gaffe-filled visit to the congressman’s district. “Where’s Doug? Congressman?” the 80-year-old president asked while giving a speech on the economy. “He’s around here somewhere,” Biden said as he searched the crowd. “Oh, there you are. Doug, thanks for the passport into town. Doug and I have something in common, we both married way above our station.” Biden is the oldest-ever president, and his mental acuity is frequently a matter of debate as he prepares to launch a 2024 re-election campaign. The uncomfortable moment recalled the infamous September exchange when Biden asked “Where’s Jackie?” as he searched for the late Rep. Jackie Walorski (R-Ind.) in a crowd, des...

http://youtu.be/u6tL8Ofoxos Archeologists in Egypt discovered a 4,300 year-old mummy — possibly the oldest one ever found in the country — during an extraordinary dig near Cairo, officials announced Thursday. The mummy called “Hekashepes” was located at the bottom of a 49-foot shaft near the Step Pyramid at Saqqara, where the team was working to uncover a cemetery of fifth and sixth-dynasty tombs dating back to the 25th century B.C, Zahi Hawass, director of the team, said in a statement. Hekashepes’ large rectangular limestone sarcophagus was still sealed with the mortar ancient Egyptians had covered the tomb with over 40 centuries ago. “I put my head inside to see what was inside the sarcophagus: A beautiful mummy of a man completely covered in layers of gold,” said Hawass, a former M...

http://youtu.be/WDG-4a2J20M A West Virginia businessman running for president has been roasted online for taking several seconds to help his expectant wife when she fainted as he announced a bid for the White House. Republican Rollan Roberts II was in the middle of announcing he was running for president on Jan. 20 at the West Virginia State Capitol when his five-month pregnant wife, Rebecca Lea Roberts, wobbled and collapsed.

http://youtu.be/5YxR8BhWV44 Newly released surveillance video reportedly shows Louisiana State University student Madison Brooks leaving the bar with the young men accused of raping her before she was struck and killed by a car. Brooks ran across the street after the four men as they left Reggie’s bar in East Baton Rouge in the early morning hours of Jan. 15, according to the footage, obtained by local station WAFB. The 19-year-old coed had met the group at the bar that night before getting into their car, where she was allegedly raped by two of the men — 18-year-old Kaivon Washington and an unidentified 17-year-old — in the backseat. After the alleged assault, the men dropped Brooks off at a nearby subdivision along Burbank Drive, where she was struck and killed by a rideshare driver ...

http://youtu.be/XWqxscbE6Og If you’ve knocked back a few and feel a warm flush creep up your face and ears, you’re not alone. While often thought of as annoying rather than dangerous, alcohol flush may be a sign of something more serious brewing beneath the surface, a new study suggests. Roughly 8% of the global population experiences the drunken sensation, mostly in East and Southeast Asian demographics, which has been previously dubbed “Asian glow.” But it’s more than just a nuisance on a night out — the flush is caused by an inherited, genetic hiccup. Those with the gene variant ALDH2*2 are deficient in the ALDH2 enzyme, which is responsible for metabolizing alcohol. Researchers from Stanford Medicine analyzed what exactly occurs when someone experiences alcohol flushing, making the...

http://youtu.be/1FXkpue9WE0 First lady Jill Biden imposed a strict “no dancing” rule on her husband after dragging President Biden up on stage during a Lunar New Year celebration at the White House Thursday night. The first couple had just finished watching a performance of a traditional Chinese lion dance from the front row in the East Room, when Jill took on the role of the MC and led her husband by the hand onstage. “Are we going to dance?” the 80-year-old commander-in-chief joked as he mounted a short flight of stairs. “No, you’re not going to dance, believe me,” Jill replied through laughter. “We don’t want to ruin the evening.” Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/01/27/jill-biden-bars-joe-from-dancing-at-lunar-new-year-party/ #jillbiden #joebiden #lunarnewyear #whitehosue Th...

http://youtu.be/EwEBz60ENEQ WARNING: Distressing Content. Police body camera footage released Friday reveals the moment Paul Pelosi was viciously pummeled with a hammer in front of two cops by an unhinged attacker during a home invasion last year. Bodycam footage shows a pained look on Pelosi’s face as he holds on to one side of the hammer, while DePape prises his fingers away shortly after they open the door to cops and ask what’s going on. DePape wrestles the hammer free and quickly swings it with full force as the cops run at him during the bizarre incident at their San Francisco abode on Oct. 28.

http://youtu.be/y3Cj5bGAeQE Paul Pelosi’s alleged attacker told a 911 operator he was a “friend” of then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her husband moments before he attacked the 82-year-old with a hammer this past October, chilling audio released Friday revealed. “Uh, yeah, he says he’s a friend, but as I said, I don’t know him,” Paul Pelosi told the operator after the attacker, David DePape, made the claim. The nearly three-minute call was made public Friday after a judge ordered the release of material — including police body camera footage and audio of DePape’s initial interview with investigators — at the request of news organizations. As it begins, Paul Pelosi appeared to play cool by telling DePape that he “must have called” the San Francisco Police by accident. He then told t...

http://youtu.be/81Cb-1L2OFk Tyre Nichols’ mom described the excruciating moment she saw her savagely battered son in hospital, knowing immediately that he was “already gone” — as she accused Memphis cops of initially trying to cover up how they fatally beat him “to a pulp.” RowVaughn Wells told CNN Friday that officers wildly downplayed her 29-year-old son’s injuries and then refused to tell her where he was being treated after the Jan. 7 beating by officers that Memphis’ top cop concedes is “unconscionable” and involved “acts that defy humanity.” She only found him around eight hours after learning he’d been busted — and only because a doctor called at 4 a.m. to find out why she was not at her son’s hospital bedside after he’d gone into cardiac arrest and his kidneys started failing. ...

http://youtu.be/ISC1iQ6jNqw The Memphis Police Department on Friday released body camera video showing black motorist Tyre Nichols being brutally beaten, pepper sprayed and Tasered by multiple cops during a traffic stop earlier this month. In the footage Nichols — who had no known police record — claims he “didn’t do anything,” but as the five black officers attempt to detain him, they fail to cuff him and he escapes, leading to a second altercation where they beat and taser him.

http://youtu.be/L7hkkWEGaPw The daughter of House Minority Whip Katherine Clark was busted for allegedly spraying anti-cop graffiti and assaulting a police officer in Boston. Riley Dowell, 23, was caught spray-painting “NO COP CITY” and “ACAB” — an acronym for “All cops are bastards” — on the Parkman Bandstand Monument in Boston Common during a protest Saturday, according to police. Dowell — who is non-binary and was identified as “Jared Dowell” by police — was being detained for vandalism when “a group of about 20 protesters began to surround” the arresting officers.

http://youtu.be/HPVcgQrzFdk Former President Donald Trump is preparing to leave the exclusive relationship with his own social media platform Truth Social as part of an eventual return to mainstream sites like Twitter and Facebook, according to a report. Trump, who is gearing up to campaign for the Republican nomination for president in 2024, has been telling confidantes he is eagerly anticipating the expiration of a “social media exclusivity term” with Truth Social, the app founded by his company Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG). The exclusivity term requires Trump to “first channel any and all social media communications” to his Truth Social account six hours before posting the same content to other platforms, according to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. ...

http://youtu.be/tHRIRZHmK8c WARNING: DISTRESSING CONTENT. A distressing video has emerged showing the moment SWAT team officers in North Carolina repeatedly shot an unarmed man accused of being a hostage-taker. Jason Kloepfer, 41, released the video capturing his Dec. 13 shooting on his Facebook page Friday, along with graphic photos showing his injuries. According to a press release that was put out by the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office last month, deputies responded to Kloepfer’s mobile home on Upper Bear Paw Road at around 11 p.m. after getting a 911 call of shots fired. Believing that there was a gunman inside the home holding another person hostage, the sheriff’s office obtained a search warrant and requested assistance from the Cherokee Indian Police Department’s SWAT team.

http://youtu.be/fvCbAwc_IPM One activist group in Norway is calling for Aretha Franklin’s hit 1968 song “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” to be removed from both Apple Music and Spotify after they deemed its lyrics offensive. The Trans Cultural Mindfulness Alliance took to Twitter last week to condemn the ballad, citing that it has ignited harm against transgender women. “Aretha Franklin’s 1968 song ‘Natural Woman’ perpetuates multiple harmful anti-trans stereotypes,” the organization tweeted. “There is no such thing as a ‘natural’ woman.” The message continued, “The song has helped inspire acts of harm against transgender women. TCMA is requesting it is removed from Spotify & Apple Music.” Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/01/23/aretha-franklin-song-natural-woman-blast...

http://youtu.be/Z4TnDpAl9Fk An arrest is expected any day in the shocking murder of Microsoft executive Jared Bridegan — as it emerged that his ex-wife, who remains a suspect, has moved 2,800 miles across the country, according to reports. Police sources confirmed to Fox News Digital that an arrest is likely as soon as Wednesday, nearly a year after the father of four was ambushed and repeatedly shot in front of his then-2-year-old daughter Bexley in Florida. Another source told the outlet that Bridegan’s ex-wife, Shanna Gardner-Fernandez, and her second husband, Mario Fernandez, remain suspects in the mysterious killing. Jared’s second wife, Kirsten Bridegan, with whom he shared 3-year-old Bexley and 1-year-old London, said she was stunned that Gardner-Fernandez had moved so far away....

http://youtu.be/FISKCKsMbsI California lawmakers are pushing legislation that would impose a new tax on the state’s wealthiest residents — even if they’ve already moved to another part of the country. Assemblyman Alex Lee, a progressive Democrat, last week introduced a bill in the California State Legislature that would impose an extra annual 1.5% tax on those with a “worldwide net worth” above $1 billion, starting as early as January 2024. As early as 2026, the threshold for being taxed would drop: those with a worldwide net worth exceeding $50 million would be hit with a 1% annual tax on wealth, while billionaires would still be taxed 1.5%.

http://youtu.be/bw4M8RNnDXc Four male suspects have been arrested in the rape of a Louisiana State University sorority member after she was later dumped on the side of the road and fatally struck by a car following a night of drinking, police said. Kaivon Deondre Washington, 18, Everett Lee, 28, and Casen Carver, 18, turned themselves in Monday, more than a week after 19-year-old Madison Brooks was fatally struck in Baton Rouge, the Advocate reported. A fourth suspect, a 17-year-old boy who had not been identified because he is a minor, turned himself in on Sunday, the outlet reported. Brooks had been drinking at Reggie’s, a bar near the LSU campus where she met the 17-year-old suspect on Jan. 15, the newspaper reported.

http://youtu.be/qMte__Oa0o8 Rep. George Santos, the chronically untruthful Long Island Republican who has fabricated much of his biography, claimed in a newly unearthed podcast interview that he survived an “assassination attempt” — and separately had his shoes stolen off his feet during a mugging in the middle of Fifth Avenue. The notorious fabulist made a series of wild allegations during a virtual sit-down with a Brazilian podcast in December, which was translated from Portuguese by MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” and aired on Monday. “We have already suffered an attempt on my life, an assassination attempt, a threatening letter, having to have the police, a police escort standing in front of our house,” said Santos, who previously went by the name Anthony Devolder and was introduce...

http://youtu.be/fYw6hZGR7wk Former Vice President Mike Pence turned over two boxes of records with classified markings that were found at his Indiana home to the FBI in the latest high-profile instance of a high-ranking official potentially mishandling secret documents. Pence, 63, said he found the records after the bombshell revelation earlier this month that President Biden stashed classified records dating to his vice presidency at a DC office and next to his classic car at his Delaware home — sparking a special counsel investigation. The FBI took the records from Pence’s home on Jan. 19, while he was in Washington to attend the annual anti-abortion March for Life, his office disclosed Tuesday. The Justice Department’s National Security Division and the FBI have launched a review of...
