http://youtu.be/N1tdmw6foIM Swimmers at Hillary’s Dog Beach near Perth, Western Australia, came dangerously close to death on Dec. 28 after a tiger shark was spotted lurking near the shore. Heart-stopping drone footage captured by beachgoer Sam Wood shows the giant predator in the clear and iridescent Aussie waters — just meters from unsuspecting bathers. At one point, the shark can be seen charging toward one woman before it drastically does a U-turn, deciding it’s uninterested in her. “I was worried that this could be an attack, and obviously I was quite scared,” Wood told a local news outlet following the shark sighting.

http://youtu.be/Iocxl7FAePE A Chinese military plane came within 10 feet of a US air force aircraft in the contested South China Sea last week and forced it to take evasive maneuvers to avoid a collision in international airspace, the US military said on Thursday. The close encounter followed what the United States has called a recent trend of increasingly dangerous behavior by Chinese military aircraft. The incident, which involved a Chinese Navy J-11 fighter jet and a US air force RC-135 aircraft, took place on Dec. 21, the U.S. military said in a statement. “We expect all countries in the Indo-Pacific region to use international airspace safely and in accordance with international law,” it added.

http://youtu.be/AQdEBhHydbo Wild video captures a passenger aboard a Thai Smile Airways flight being assaulted after he refused the crew’s instructions to raise his seat before takeoff. The incident took place in Bangkok on Monday as the plane was about to depart for Kolkata, India, NDTV reported. Flight attendants instructed the passengers to adjust their seats to the upright position and buckle their seatbelts — but one of them refused, saying he had a backache. Despite repeated requests, the man steadfastly refused to comply and told the crew they could report him to the captain if they wanted. Soon afterward, other passengers got tired of his antics and took the matter into their own hands. Read more at https://nypost.com/2022/12/30/brawl-erupts-on-thai-smile-airways-over-recline...

http://youtu.be/4hSat0qxvHI Time magazine is getting mercilessly mocked over an article about “the white supremacist origins of exercise” that claims racism was the motivator for the fitness movement. The mag ran the eye-catching headline Wednesday based on a chat with history professor Natalia Mehlman Petrzela, whose lessons at New York’s The New School often focus on Black Lives Matter protests. In the interview, the self-styled “scholar, writer, teacher and activist” insisted that being fat used to be “desirable” — and the push to work out in the 20th century was racism at work. The idea “that women should be lifting weights and gaining strength” started because racists thought that “white women should start building up their strength because we need more white babies,” she claimed....

http://youtu.be/G6AJCrT8Ijs One of former President Donald Trump’s top White House aides slammed his ex-press secretary Kayleigh McEnany as “a liar and an opportunist” in testimony to the House Jan. 6 committee. Former White House communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin, now a co-host on “The View,” criticized McEnany for helping Trump, 76, perpetuate false claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen, transcripts released by the Jan. 6 panel on Thursday reveal. “I am a Christian woman, so I will say this. Kayleigh is a liar and an opportunist,” Griffin told investigators during her scathing testimony. Griffin alleges that McEnany misled the public in an effort to stay in Trump’s “good graces” after his presidency. Read more at https://nypost.com/2022/12/29/trump-w...

http://youtu.be/a4XXGbWeQcM The 22-year-old trans daughter charged with killing her father inside the family’s Brooklyn apartment grinned for the cameras Thursday night as she was led out of an NYPD stationhouse. Nikki Secondino was hit with the murder charge and other offenses after police initially believed that her dad, Carlo Secondino, was stabbed to death during an early morning home invasion at their Bensonhurst home.

http://youtu.be/-jDj2ztgG-0 A 28-year-old suspect is in custody in connection with the slayings of four University of Idaho students, NBC News reported Friday. Bryan Christopher Kohberger was taken into custody by police and the FBI around 3 a.m. Friday in Scranton, Pennsylvania, according to reports. Kohberger appeared in court Friday morning. He is reportedly a college student but did not attend the University of Idaho. News of the arrest comes almost seven weeks after Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Kernodle’s boyfriend Ethan Chapin, 20, were found stabbed to death in their beds at their off-campus home on King Road in Moscow, Idaho, on Nov. 13.

http://youtu.be/LNKGYrljxDw Self-proclaimed misogynist Andrew Tate has gone from being a divisive social media influencer to an accused human-trafficking rapist behind bars in Romania. But who exactly is the internet provocateur? For many, the American-British former kickboxer likely only came onto their radar this week when — ahead of his dramatic arrest Thursday — he went viral for being humiliated by Greta Thunberg. The cigar-puffing playboy — who once claimed to be the world’s first trillionaire — had tried to taunt the 19-year-old eco-warrior by bragging about the “enormous emissions” of his fleet of 33 cars. When he asked her for an email address to send a full list, she wittily clapped back: “yes, please do enlighten me. email me at smalld–kenergy@getalife.com.” But the now-vi...

http://youtu.be/29AodboHVZg Niagara Falls has been transformed into a partially frozen winter wonderland thanks to the recent wave of sub-zero temperatures gripping the region. The magical scene was captured in a series of breathtaking photographs that show frozen mist and sheets of ice blanketing parts of the iconic tourist destination at the border of New York state and Ontario, Canada. The icy spectacle formed as winter weather blasted the Northeast over the weekend, bringing frigid temperatures and a deadly blizzard to Buffalo, New York — roughly 25 miles south of Niagara Falls. But while parts of the falls were frozen, they almost never freeze completely due to the sheer volume of the water that gushes over — combined with the constant movement of the raging liquid.

http://youtu.be/3gExKQFhn04 A 16-year-old Minnesota high school hockey player died on Christmas Day after undergoing emergency surgery for a stroke caused by a rare condition that mostly affects children. Cormick Scanlan, a sophomore at Cretin-Derham Hall in St. Paul, underwent surgery on Dec. 15 after suffering the stroke about three weeks ago, Fox 9 reported. He was diagnosed with moyamoya disease, a rare blood vessel disorder in which a skull artery becomes narrowed or blocked. In the bypass surgery, surgeons reportedly repaired a carotid artery with blood vessels from his head.

http://youtu.be/__fDl30Peiw A Michigan physician who went missing last week was found dead in a frozen pond near his home Tuesday afternoon. Divers pulled the body of Bolek Payan from the icy pond in Jackson County around 12:30 p.m. after investigators on Monday retrieved security footage from the doctor’s home showing him leave the residence on foot Thursday afternoon, the Blackman-Leoni Township Department of Public Safety said. Police dogs, drones and officers searched the woods around Payan’s home before authorities cut holes in the ice covering the pond, the public safety department said. “Detectives believe Dr. Payan would have been deceased, prior to when he was reported missing, due to the weather conditions on the day that he left his residence and the fact that he was in the ...

http://youtu.be/Gq1h8TbLeOI A driver who was filmed cruising down a frozen Indianapolis canal was arrested for drunk driving after she plunged through the ice on Christmas night. Biankia Gleason, 33, had to be rescued from the frigid waters and told the responding firefighters that her GPS had directed her to drive onto the canal near Colts Playspace, Fox 59 reported. She said she motored down an embankment through the park and onto the ice, where she drove until she hit a dead end and turned around, according to the local station. Shocking video circulating online captures part of Gleason’s adventure as she drives under a bridge, past people ice skating on the frozen canal as they react with disbelief. Another video shows an aerial view of the car, nose down, in the free-moving water...

http://youtu.be/jPIxI24XbAE After months of speculation, an autopsy has revealed the cause of death for “9-1-1: Lone Star” and “The Rookie” star Tyler Sanders, who was discovered dead in his Los Angeles home in June. According to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, the 18-year-old “Fear The Walking Dead” actor died from the effects of fentanyl in what authorities have declared an accident, TMZ reported. The coroner noted Sanders had sent a text message to his friend the night before he died, telling them that he was using the narcotic. However, the former child star didn’t respond to messages after his initial text. Authorities also discovered a straw and white powder in the room where he died, per the report. And while Sanders didn’t have any known medical problems, he reportedl...

http://youtu.be/2A4ecAON-fU Environmental activist Greta Thunberg and controversial social media influencer Andrew Tate traded barbs on Twitter Wednesday in an exchange that went viral. Tate, who has gained notoriety for his frequent misogynistic comments, instigated the tiff by tagging Thunberg in a tweet about his 33 cars and their pollution-causing emissions. “Please provide your email address so I can send a complete list of my car collection and their respective enormous emissions,” he requested of the 19-year-old activist. Thunberg shot back with a scathing diss. “yes, please do enlighten me. email me at smalld–kenergy@getalife.com,” she replied in a quote tweet.

http://youtu.be/Zy4H0_deHCM A West Virginia woman disappeared almost a month ago after being seen with a man at a bar, leaving her family desperate for answers — and police say they have identified a person of interest in the case. Musician Gretchen Fleming, 27, was last seen early Dec. 4 at the My Way Lounge & Restaurant in Parkersburg, West Virginia, NBC News reported. Witnesses at the bar claimed she was with an “older man” with white hair, the US Sun reported. Friends told the outlet that Fleming was “extremely intoxicated” and had lost her purse before she went missing. Her family didn’t report her missing to police until more than a week later, on Dec. 12, because it wasn’t unusual for her to not be in touch with them for several days, her longtime friend Jake Grim said. Re...

http://youtu.be/TZ5z0Tdn86I An Alaska man in need of a heart transplant had to give up his opportunity to receive the life-saving organ to another patient when travel chaos from the US winter storm over Christmas prevented him from flying to the procedure in time. Patrick Holland, a 56-year-old father of seven battling congestive heart failure, received the potentially life-altering call from the University of Washington Medical Center on Dec. 22 that a heart was becoming available. “It was terrifying news to hear that I was going to get a transplant, to be honest with you. I was terrified,” Holland told CNN. “And then I was excited.” Holland, who is from Fairbanks, Alaska, was given an 8-hour window to fly to Seattle for the procedure so he immediately booked an overnight flight and r...

http://youtu.be/lWaoMMxYTlg Where is Kanye West? Wild rumors are swirling that the artist now known as Ye is “missing” — as his ex-business manager tries to serve him with a $4.5 million lawsuit, the US Sun reports. Thomas St. John, who is suing the erratic “Gold Digger” rapper and his company Yeezy over alleged unpaid fees, told a court he has also been unable to find a proper address for Ye. The rumors about the 45-year-old mogul’s whereabouts began to spread after a tweet sent by Daily Loud, who wrote: “Kanye West has reportedly been missing and unable to find [sic] for weeks according to his ex-business manager.” According to documents obtained by the news outlet, St. John on Dec. 19 sought an extension until the end of March to serve the lawsuit.

http://youtu.be/7J1kQDkOB4A The mother of Hunter Biden’s love child has asked an Arkansas court to legally change the 4-year-old girl’s last name to Biden so the child can benefit from the family’s presidential lineage. Lunden Roberts, 31, filed four motions Tuesday in connection with the paternity case against Hunter, which was reopened in September when the first son asked the court to lower his child support payments. Attorney Clinton Lancaster told an Independence County court that Navy Joan Roberts would “benefit from carrying the Biden family name,” which he said was “now synonymous with being well educated, successful, financially acute, and politically powerful.” The filings, which The Post has seen, were originally reported by the Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette. Neither ...

http://youtu.be/nkmJzwqFuOw A harsh winter storm has placed over 100 million Americans under critical weather alerts with record-setting temperature drops, snowy conditions and powerful wind gusts that have already canceled over 1,000 flights ahead of Christmas weekend. High winds and snowfall are expected to cause blizzard conditions, double-digit negative windchill and wide-spread power outages across the Midwest, Great Lakes and Northeast as the storm moves east. “This storm is going to strengthen very rapidly,” FOX Meteorologist Marissa Lautenbacher told the Post. “People need to realize that with that kind of rapid strengthening, there’s a lot of wind.

http://youtu.be/cZslebJEZbE Twitter CEO Elon Musk blasted a former software engineer for the company as a “jackass” during a heated spat over the mogul’s push to revamp the embattled social media app. Musk said Twitter would have to do a “total rewrite of the whole thing” if it wanted to have a “really high velocity” during a Twitter Spaces voice chat hosted by George Hotz on Wednesday. The remark prompted a response from Ian Brown, a developer for Netflix who worked at Twitter for eight years before leaving the company in October 2021. “Wait, seriously, a total rewrite? That’s your prediction for velocity?” Brown said. “Yeah,” Musk responded.

http://youtu.be/6O7cglESHYg Pope Francis made a dire warning to the Roman Curia on Thursday, warning them to be ever vigilant of demons lurking in the Vatican. The remarks were delivered as part of his Christmas address to the Vatican’s resident cardinals – a tradition that Pope Francis has turned into something of an annual airing of grievances for the Vatican-based prelates. Pope Francis warned attending cardinals that those who live in the Vatican are often tempted to believe they are more enlightened or spiritually protected than others due to their status and rank in the church. “We could easily fall into the temptation of thinking we are safe, better than others, no longer in need of conversion,” the pope told the cardinals. But the pontiff rebuked this line of thinking with a ...
