http://youtu.be/2Q2p-MF-nds Mississippi police shot and killed a woman who was holding a Walmart worker hostage in a tense, caught-on-camera ordeal Wednesday. Corlunda McGinister, 21, was fatally shot by officers inside the megastore’s Richland location after bizarrely pleading to speak with a news anchor while she held onto the petrified worker, according to authorities and footage of the incident. Richland police reported on social media Wednesday there was an “incident at Walmart involving a weapon” around 5:45 p.m., and then hours later issued another report that there was an “officer-involved shooting” inside the chain store. Footage circulating online showed a woman, who appeared to be holding a gun, making a specific demand. “Hey, give me a news anchor down here right now,” the...

http://youtu.be/XVc7qVPpRBo The young boy found buried under floorboards in his Arkansas home had been dead for 15 weeks — killed when his mom’s boyfriend shoved his head in a toilet as “punishment,” according to harrowing court records. Blu Rolland’s decaying body was found Friday — his sixth birthday — wrapped in “multiple layers of plastic bags” under “newly nailed-down boards” in his home in Moro, according to an affidavit obtained by NBC News. His dad’s family had raised the alarm after Blu’s sister was found with severe burns — and the little boy was repeatedly kept away from scheduled custody visits. Blu’s 28-year-old mom, Ashley Rolland — who has a big black eye in her booking photo — quickly blamed her boyfriend, Nathan Bridges, 33, after both were arrested the day after the g...

http://youtu.be/Cjl1ixVhZ0I Rising Tennessee rapper Big Scarr, who was signed to Gucci Mane’s label 1017 Records, has died at age 22 of undisclosed causes. The wordsmith’s passing was confirmed by Mane in a Thursday Instagram post. “This hurt — I’m a miss you @bigscarr,” the “Poppin” singer wrote in the tribute, along with a photo gallery of the late lyricist. As of yet, Big Scarr’s cause and time of death have yet to be revealed, HipHopDx reported. In 2020, the Memphis native nearly died after getting shot in the hip with the bullet traveling all the way up to his spine. This resulted in serious internal injuries, which required the doctors to remove his appendix and also realign his right leg, according to Revolt.

http://youtu.be/Yuke-Z5RFOA Dramatic footage shows a transformer exploding into sparks on a Missouri street amid the extreme cold — knocking out power as winds from a deadly bomb cyclone struck the area. The electrical box blasted into a fireworks-like flash Thursday in the Kansas City suburb of Liberty as nearby buildings plunged into darkness and bone-chilling temperatures, according to police dash camera footage. Wild winds from the eastern-churning Christmas weekend storm blew out power to more than 2,000 customers in the snowed- and iced-in area, according to electric service company Evergy.

El Paso has been dealing with a migrant surge since August which has strained local resources and cost the local government almost $10 million, which it is eventually hoping to get reimbursed. “It’s a very dire situation in El Paso.” Read more at https://nypost.com/2022/12/18/rep-tony-gonzales-calls-border-situation-dire-shares-footage-of-migrant-center/ #elpaso #texas #migrants 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/HS0GSMcgme4 Elon Musk appeared destined to quit running Twitter Monday after more than 10 million users voted for him to step down less than two months after he bought the social media platform for $44 billion. The Tesla mogul had polled users late Sunday, asking if he should “step down as head of Twitter” and vowing to “abide by the results of this poll.” Voting ended just before 6:20 a.m. ET — with 57.5% choosing for him to leave. With more than 17.5 million voting in the online poll, that meant more than 10 million users wanted to see Twitter no longer be run by the world’s second-richest man. Musk did not immediately comment on the poll’s results. But he’d earlier insisted that no one was lined up to replace him. Read more at https://nypost.com/2022/12/19/twitter-...

http://youtu.be/MDePfezTxyw The New York Times is being ripped by social media users for publishing what they deemed a swastika-shaped crossword puzzle on the first night of Hanukkah. The fraught Sunday brain-teaser, titled “Some Theme’s Missing,” had been concocted by Washington, DC-based consulting manager Ryan McCarty, who has formulated 22 other puzzles for the paper. “Thrilled to have my first Sunday puzzle in The Times! This grid features one of my favorite open middles that I’ve made as it pulls from a variety of subject areas,” McCarty gushed in a section of the paper titled Constructor Notes.

http://youtu.be/bMhmuKhDKMs Former President Donald Trump should face criminal charges for his actions in connection with last year’s Capitol riot, according to the House select committee investigating the events of Jan. 6, 2021. The bipartisan panel recommended the Justice Department charge the 76-year-old Trump with insurrection, obstruction of an official proceeding, making false statements to investigators, and conspiracy to defraud the US government, after discovering the former president pushed claims he knew were false about the 2020 presidential election. “[Trump] lost the 2020 election and knew it, but he chose to try to stay in office through a multi-part scheme to overturn the results and block the transfer of power,” said committee Chairman Bennie Thompson (D.-Miss.) in his ...

http://youtu.be/lsd0nFq4hsc Political disagreements were not on the menu at Il Postino on the Upper East Side, where Andrew Cuomo and Kellyanne Conway dined together Monday night. The disgraced former governor sat with the ex-political adviser for one of his biggest rivals — former President Donald Trump. Cuomo, a Democrat, and Conway, a Republican, were photographed leaving the Italian restaurant on 61st Street after 10 p.m. The former gov did not comment on the relevance of the dinner as he got into his car.

http://youtu.be/IKn6TUOjOc4 A missing Washington state woman was likely eaten by an “aggressive” shark while snorkeling in Hawaii, said authorities — who revealed that her husband spotted the possible culprit nearby with “something red” around its gills. The 60-year-old woman, whose name was not released, was last seen on Dec. 8 when she and her husband were snorkeling at Keawakapu Beach in Maui County, according to Hawaii’s Department of Land and Natural Resources on Friday. Though her body has not been recovered, officials concluded that the woman was killed in a shark attack. The missing woman’s husband told police he encountered an “aggressive shark” while swimming about 50 yards off the beach. He said he and his wife were not snorkeling next to each other and that he had only been...

http://youtu.be/k4oy5JPLyDQ Elon Musk said he’ll only allow paying Twitter Blue subscribers to vote in future polls about how his $44 billion social media giant is run — as he speculated that a deep-state “bot army” might have been behind the results of one calling for him to step down. More than 24 hours after the poll closed early Monday, Musk, 51, had yet to directly address the vote calling for him to “step down as head of Twitter,” having earlier vowed to “abide by the results of this poll.” However, he replied to a number of tweets suggesting that the result had been unfairly swayed by bots, calling the theory “interesting.” Notorious internet entrepreneur Kim Dotcom told Musk that it had been “unwise to run a poll like this when you are now deep state enemy #1.” Read more at ht...

http://youtu.be/lOIsiQlU8oE Stanford University released a guide this week on “harmful” language that it wants to remove from its online properties — noting that the term “American” is a no-go. The language guide, which was published Monday, aims to “eliminate many forms of harmful language, including racist, violent, and biased … language in Stanford websites and code.” Launched in May, the project, known as the Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative (EHLI), lists the prohibited terms under 10 categories including racism, homophobia and ableism. Under a section titled “Imprecise Language,” the guide advises readers to replace the term “American” with “U.S. citizen.” Read more at https://nypost.com/2022/12/20/stanford-releases-guide-against-harmful-language-including-term-america...

http://youtu.be/9IiVimXekl0 A Jesuit priest who is reportedly close to Pope Francis has been accused of inviting two nuns to partake in a “Holy Trinity” threesome — and is now facing allegations of sexual and spiritual abuse dating back decades. A former nun claims that Marko Ivan Rupnik used his “psycho-spiritual” control over her some three decades ago in order to make her watch pornographic films and have group sex sessions that he said would have religious significance. Rupnik, 68, was a spiritual director of a convent in Slovenia and has created mosaics for churches including a papal chapel at the Vatican. The former nun told the Italian newspaper Domani that “Father Marko started slowly and sweetly getting inside my psychological and spiritual world, exploiting my uncertainties a...

http://youtu.be/KxfnB38u4Rw WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT. A teen in India miraculously survived after a javelin was thrown through his neck during a freak track and field accident, as seen in a video of his impromptu piercing. The freak accident occurred on Dec. 17 while Sadanand Meher, 14, was playing sports at the Agalpur High School in Odisha, India, Jam Press reported. Disaster struck after a student threw the sporting spear that ended up piercing the boy’s neck, going in one end and out the other. Accompanying footage shows the boy being escorted out of the back of an ambulance by bystanders and medical personnel with the projectile sticking through his throat like a rubber arrow from an old Western film. Despite the gruesome injury, the boy is seemingly able to walk on his own and eve...

http://youtu.be/2WVq4jTeaaQ President Biden let slip to a group of protesters that the Iran nuclear deal “is dead” before adding, “but we are not going to announce it — long story,” a video that surfaced Tuesday reveals. Biden made the off-the-cuff remark Nov. 4 to Iranian American protesters who trailed him to an event in California. “President Biden, could you please announce that JCPOA is dead? Can you just announce that?” a woman asks, using the formal acronym for the 2015 agreement that softened US policy toward Iran in exchange for promises that Tehran wouldn’t seek a nuclear bomb. “No,” Biden replied. “No? Why not?” the woman pressed the president. “No. A lot of reasons. It is dead, but we are not going to announce it — long story. We’re going to make sure —,” Biden began, bef...

http://youtu.be/AbI-LwsBHGg Nike executives would get “sloppy drunk” and prey on female subordinates while the company ignored their complaints, according to an unsealed gender discrimination lawsuit against the sneaker giant. The female underlings alleged in the complaint that Nike’s Oregon headquarters was a “boys club” in which male executives subjected them to sexual advances, suggestive comments about their appearance, and hints and innuendos alluding to sex. One woman reported finding an executive receiving oral sex from a female subordinate in the campus gym, according to the civil complaint filed in US District Court in Oregon. Another who worked at the company recalled being told by male co-workers to “dress sexier” and “show some skin,” the lawsuit alleged. Read more at http...

http://youtu.be/6JbWampOS6Y A freight train derailed in Tennessee Tuesday afternoon after slicing through a tractor-trailer as it was crossing the tracks, police said.

http://youtu.be/q2g-M8h_TYQ The Florida college freshman who operated a Twitter account that monitored Elon Musk’s private jet flights blasted the tech mogul as a “full-on hypocrite” after learning the account had been suspended. Jack Sweeney was alerted to the suspension of the @Elonjet account by The Post when reached early Wednesday morning. “This is insane,” 19-year-old Sweeney told The Post. “My phone’s going f–king nuts.” Musk, who pledged to allow the @Elonjet Twitter handle to continue operating after he acquired the social media site in late October, has apparently reversed himself.

http://youtu.be/yqLGtSwx5YA A New York City man was busted with $300,000 worth of cocaine — some in packages bearing President Biden’s picture — stashed inside his sports car, authorities said on Wednesday. Reynaldo Almonte, 29, was indicted in Manhattan Supreme Court on a string of drug-related charges after cops found the Biden-brand coke hidden in his burgundy Nissan on Nov. 28. Officers spotted Almonte, of Queens, carrying a “weighed shopping bag” into his car and then noticed him moving objects around in the back of the vehicle, the Office of the Special Narcotics Prosecutor said in a statement. Cops followed Almonte to the West Farms neighborhood in The Bronx, where they approached him after he double-parked. Read more at https://nypost.com/2022/12/14/nyc-man-indicted-for-stash...

http://youtu.be/3qNAw-NOIho Scientists have created a teeny tiny, creepy crawly-like robot they hope will travel through the human body to cure diseases. Made of gelatin, the 3D-printed device may eventually replace pills or intravenous injections that can cause problematic side effects. The “gelbot” — which is powered by temperature changes — feels like a fruit gum, a stark contrast to robots made almost exclusively of hard materials like metals and plastics. “It seems very simplistic, but this is an object moving without batteries, without wiring, without an external power supply of any kind — just on the swelling and shrinking of gel,” the study’s senior author, David Gracias of Johns Hopkins University, said in a statement.

http://youtu.be/iMvrpYrSVxA Billionaire Elon Musk tweeted a video of a person he described as a “crazy stalker” who allegedly tailed a car carrying the Twitter owner’s 2-year-old son and then “climbed” atop the vehicle in Los Angeles. The video shared by Musk on Wednesday night showed the unidentified man wearing a black hood and a mask covering his mouth behind the wheel of a white Hyundai. The driver took out his phone as he pulled up alongside the car transporting little X Æ A-Xii and seemed to also record the encounter. The 11-second clip tweeted by Musk then panned down at the alleged stalker’s license plate. Musk was not in the car during the incident, which the mogul said happened Tuesday. “Last night, car carrying lil X in LA was followed by crazy stalker (thinking it was me), ...

http://youtu.be/LNz0VHDLc30 A 36-year-old Michigan man with filed down teeth is in custody after police discovered he kidnapped a vulnerable woman, sexually assaulted her for three weeks and threatened to “rip out her throat” if she didn’t do what he told her to. Genesee County Sheriff Chris Swanson on Wednesday revealed disturbing details of the case in a press conference that led to the arrest of Michael Barajas, 36, on Dec. 8. Swanson said Barajas had filed his teeth down to points and threatened to bite the victim and rip her throat out during the course of her three-week imprisonment. Swanson said the week of Thanksgiving a pregnant woman in her early 20s had been kicked out of her house. Barajas spotted the vulnerable woman walking on the street alone and pulled his car up.
