http://youtu.be/rl6NMmg_6Sc Vivek Ramaswamy warned Thursday that the Republican National Committee will keep trying to “silence” him before next month’s third GOP primary debate, hinting at growing friction between himself and the party he hopes to represent in next year’s presidential election. Earlier this week, the RNC jumped in at the last minute to stop the 38-year-old biotech entrepreneur from appearing alongside rival Chris Christie on Fox News’ “Special Report.” An RNC official ripped into both candidates for complaining at the time, since they signed a pledge to not participate in outside debates and would be banned upon actually engaging. In his latest attack, Ramaswamy threw a punch at both the RNC and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, predicting that the situation between him and t...

http://youtu.be/-9sJ716dIUw A New Jersey woman was fired after a viral video showed her berating a group of German tourists on a New York City-bound train and telling them to “get the f–k out of our country.” NY Post reporter Alyssa Guzman shares this story. Brianna Pinnix, a 30-year-old talent acquisition specialist at Capital Rx, approached a group of male tourists on what appears to be a New Jersey Transit train, according to the Daily Mail, which first reported the incident. Pinnix, whose Facebook account says she is a Mahwah native and a 2015 Marymount Manhattan College graduate, has since been fired from Capital Rx, a company spokesperson confirmed to The Post Wednesday night. “Our company has a zero-tolerance policy around prejudicial or discriminatory behavior. After conductin...

http://youtu.be/HuR1HaIEFtE A woman accused Walmart of racism after lobbing food at a state trooper who then restrained her in a New York suburban outlet while she bellowed, “drag me the f–k out.” In a startling video, the woman — whom police said was suffering from a possible “mental health issue” — is seen screaming at the officer while sitting on a motorized scooter inside a Westchester County store around 6:30 p.m. Monday. It’s unclear why police were called, but the altercation broke out in a checkout line — and the woman appeared to have an array of fresh produce on the belt, a video posted to Reddit showed. As the officer turns to talk to someone off-camera, the woman stands up from her seat and begins picking up her items — including what appears to be a bottle of pop and a bag...

http://youtu.be/XgYs90VCVqg A top morning news anchor in the UK was promptly pulled from the air on Thursday after police uncovered an alleged plot to kidnap and murder the star reporter. Holly Willoughby, 42, was “shocked and distraught” when Metropolitan police told her of 36-year-old Gavin Plumb’s plot just moments before she was set to go on air on “This Morning” Thursday, according to the Sun. She remained off the air on Friday and was placed under police protection outside the London home she shares with her husband and three children. A motive for the alleged kidnapping and murder plot is unclear, as authorities say Willoughby did not know Plumb — who is set to appear in court on Friday on charges of soliciting to murder and kidnap. He was arrested at his home, where police all...

http://youtu.be/zyOKn7NTSPM A 31-year-old model whose body was found in a luxury Los Angeles apartment was pregnant at the time of her death — which has been determined to be the result of “homicidal violence.” Maleesa Mooney was one of two models found dead in their apartments in the same area of the city just days apart — sparking fears they were both murdered. Her exact cause of death had been listed as “deferred,” but “Cause A” is now listed by the LA County Medical Examiner’s Office as “homicidal violence,” KTLA reported.

http://youtu.be/JJVVRy7XMP4 The swimmer who went missing after being attacked by a shark near California’s Bay Area has been identified as a tech entrepreneur and elite kite surfer who hoped to represent Gambia in the Olympics, according to reports. Felix Louis N’Jai, 52, apparently was attacked by the predator as he swam near Wildcat Beach at the southern end of Point Reyes National Park on Sunday morning, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. He had been camping at the remote site to celebrate a friend’s wedding when he went in the water with two friends, including the groom, and apparently was dragged under by the shark. Officials have not identified him, but friends and the sailing magazine Latitude 38 have named him as N’Jai, a businessman whose LinkedIn page lists him as CEO of t...

http://youtu.be/qQV85UsqSso Astounding video shows elated migrants wildly sprinting into El Paso, Texas, after crossing the Rio Grande — and crawling under treacherous razor wire. In drone footage captured by The Post, a young child can be seen jumping and cheering alongside two other small children as a group of about seven adults slither beneath the sharp wire that stretches just beyond the bank of the international divide. The group of migrants continued celebrating as they darted across the desert sand toward the border wall, which did little to prevent their entry into the US. Once a migrant crosses the river, they are on US soil and automatically entitled to being taken in and processed by the US Border Patrol. One man is seen clapping and pumping his arms in the air in celebrat...

http://youtu.be/VqTs0kcz4WM The Las Vegas man charged in Tupac Shakur’s murder bragged about being arrested in “the biggest case in Las Vegas history,” newly released body camera footage showed. Duane “Keffe D” Davis proclaimed the bold comment to an officer as he sat in the backseat of a police cruiser following the historic and long-awaited capture on Sept. 29. “So what they got you for, man?” the officer asked. “Oh man, the biggest case in Las Vegas history,” Davis responded before he was asked if it was a recent incident. “Sept. 7, 1996,” Davis added, referring to the night Shakur was gunned down in a drive-by shooting on the Las Vegas strip. “Oh no s–t, wow, that’s a long time away,” the officer said. Davis was indicted for murder with the use of a deadly weapon with a gang enh...

http://youtu.be/bk3Oz6z_QRY Syria on Friday held funerals for scores of people killed in a drone attack on a graduation ceremony at a military academy in the Homs region the previous day, one of the bloodiest strikes against the military in more than 12 years of civil war. Several weaponised drones hit the Homs Military Academy's courtyard where families were gathered with the new officers on Thursday, minutes after defense minister Ali Mahmoud Abbas had left. Syria declared three days of mourning. There have been no claims of responsibility for the attack. Syria's defense and foreign ministries blamed what they described as terrorist groups, without specifying further, and vowed to respond "with full force." On Friday morning, coffins carrying victims and draped in the Syrian flag wer...

http://youtu.be/GE2cyqRFnK0 An American tourist allegedly went on a bizarre rampage at an Israeli museum, smashing two ancient Roman statues because he claimed they represented “idolatry” that was “contrary to the Torah,” authorities said. A lawyer for the unnamed suspect — who was arrested after the incident — claimed he was suffering from a delusion known as “Jerusalem syndrome” when he allegedly went wild with a stick during the Thursday evening incident, according to reports. At least two statues — including one that the Times of Israel tentatively identified as a head of Athena dating to the 2nd century CE and a statue of a griffin holding a wheel of fate decorated with the Roman god Nemesis from about 210-211 CE — were left broken into multiple pieces on an exhibition hall floor, ...

http://youtu.be/O1BnLGi2oDY President Biden criticized the media Friday over the public’s economic concerns and again mixed up the terms “debt” and “deficit” — while also claiming he’s presiding over a federal budget surplus despite actually overseeing the highest non-pandemic annual deficit in US history. “You all are not the happiest people in the world,” Biden scolded a group of reporters at the White House. “You turn on the television and there’s not a whole lot about ‘Boy saves dog as he swims in the lake,'” he added. “It’s about ‘Somebody pushed the dog in the lake.’ I mean, I get it.” After that curious metaphor, Biden went on: “I think that the American people are smart as hell and know what their interests are. I think they know they are better off financially than they were b...

http://youtu.be/557STzaRJVk The 18-year-old man suspected in the random stabbing death of a beloved Brooklyn social-justice activist was arrested on Thursday – as cops raiding his apartment found a knife and a sweatshirt matching the one the attacker wore, police and sources said. NY Post Senior reporter Joe Marino and reporter Amanda Woods share this story. Brian Dowling was pictured with tears running down his face – and cuffs around his wrists and ankles – as officers escorted him from the NYPD’s 81st Precinct in Bedford–Stuyvesant after charging him with murder and criminal possession of a weapon. The accused killer was wearing the same white T-shirt and striped shorts as when cops busted him at his home on Lafayette Avenue near Malcolm X Boulevard — just down the block from where ...

The 12-mph whirlwind was calculated to be 200 feet wide and an incredible 1.2 miles tall based on its shadow.

http://youtu.be/gaIsEmfds_4 Investigators are baffled over the case of a woman who died after eating chocolate she got from a palm reader who said she didn’t have long to live. “She vomited, her vision was a bit blurred, her body was soft… it was a matter of hours,” the victim’s bereaved cousin Bianca Cristina told Globo 1 of her untimely passing. The tragedy occurred on August 3 while Fernanda Silva Valoz da Cruz Pinto, 27, was walking through the city center of Maceió, Brazil — a mecca for fortune tellers, Jam Press reported. The mother of one was reportedly stopped by an elderly woman who asked to read her palm. Pinto accepted, whereupon the street seer told the young woman that she had only “a few days to live.” The soothsayer then gave Pinto a piece of chocolate as a parting gif...

http://youtu.be/vdPVwJTDUW0 WhatsApp with Gary Gensler and his old email habits? NY Post Business Reporter Lydia Moynihan shares this story. That’s the question on Wall Street this week after the hard-charging boss of the Securities and Exchange Commission reportedly nears a deal with banks over employees who use private messaging apps — with critics noting that Gensler has his own awkward history of using his personal email account to conduct official business. While Gensler has fined Wall Street firms more than $1 billion for being less than careful about their habits of using WhatsApp and other encrypted messaging platforms for work, he used similar practices when he ran the Commodity Futures Trading Commission a decade ago, according to reports. In 2013, the Office of the Inspect...

http://youtu.be/b3cCfFdj3Q8 Former President Donald Trump spoke again in the hallway during a lunch recess, calling the proceedings a “disgraceful trial.” “We have murders all over the city and all over the state, a record level — it’s an epidemic and they wasted their time with this," he said. Trump said he would “probably” be back after the lunch break. The former president is facing a judge inside a lower Manhattan courthouse Monday, for the opening of a $250 million civil trial over charges he overinflated the values of his many properties. The fraud lawsuit brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James accuses Trump, sons Eric and Don Jr., and the Trump Organization of a decades-long scheme. The non-jury trial is scheduled to run until the end of December. Read more at htt...

http://youtu.be/Yt2KzINCe3o A pair of British fighter planes appear to have almost collided during a training exercise over eastern England, according to a spine-tingling photo captured by an amateur photographer. The two Royal Air Force pilots were reportedly practicing “dogfighting”— or a close-range battle — in their Eurofighter Typhoons when the encounter happened, according to The Telegraph. That’s when Anthony Helcoop, an amateur photographer, took a picture that seemed to show the nose of one of the fighters nearly smashing into the tail of the other. “Just before 5 p.m. on Thursday, I snapped these two Typhoons and thought, ‘Wow, that seemed very close,'” Helcoop told the Daily Mail. “You see them doing all sorts of maneuvers, but this one seemed quite close for comfort,” he c...

http://youtu.be/vnqa8cyc7uY The White House has been in touch with allies and partners about continued funding for Ukraine and those conversations will continue, White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre said on Monday (October 2). Jean-Pierre reaffirmed the U.S. government's commitment to helping Ukraine defend itself throughout the war with Russia. According to the White House spokesperson there is "bipartisanship" on the matter and both Republicans and Democrats in Congress want to see the aid continue. The U.S. Congress passed a stopgap bill on Saturday (September 30) that extended government funding for more than a month and avoided a government shutdown but didn't contain any new aid for Ukraine. U.S. President Joe Biden on Sunday (October 1) pressed congressional Republicans ...

http://youtu.be/eDWqJMDxXlc A state senator from North Dakota, his wife and their two young children died when the small plane they were traveling in crashed in Utah, a Senate leader said Monday. Doug Larsen’s death was confirmed Monday in an email that Republican Senate Majority Leader David Hogue sent to his fellow senators and was obtained by the Associated Press. The plane crashed Sunday evening shortly after taking off from Canyonlands Airfield about 15 miles north of Moab, according to a Grand County Sheriff’s Department statement posted on Facebook. The sheriff’s office said all four people on board the plane were killed. “Senator Doug Larsen, his wife Amy, and their two young children died in a plane crash last evening in Utah,” Hogue wrote in his email. “They were visiting fa...

http://youtu.be/HDT4TZYM0YI Democratic Golden State Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Sunday evening that he was tapping Emily’s List president Laphonza Butler to serve out the term of the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), who died last week at the age of 90. However, records indicate that Butler has spent recent years far from the constituents she will represent for the next 15 months. A Federal Election Commission filing from the end of August for the abortion rights advocacy group listed Silver Spring, Md., as Butler’s place of residence. Individual donation records for Butler further indicated she had not lived in California since at least September 2021, when she was tapped to head up the powerful Democrat-supporting organization.

http://youtu.be/cO4YCNBMOdk A lawyer representing an influencer dubbed “Meatball” who livestreamed the widespread looting in Philadelphia claims news reports of the woman’s arrest are racist. Dayjia Blackwell shared videos and photos on her Instagram Stories that gleefully documented the mass plunder of several businesses, including an Apple store, a Foot Locker, a Lululemon and a liquor store. The content creator with close to 650,000 followers across Instagram and TikTok could be seen laughing, clapping and shouting “Let’s go!” as she witnessed suspected looters fleeing the scene while she was driven across the city. Blackwell was even seen taunting the local police — encouraging them to arrest her hours before she was charged with six felonies. But in an open letter to the media, J...

http://youtu.be/k1GBe71CfAk The 9-year-old girl who vanished from an upstate New York park was found hiding in the cabinet of a camper on Monday after the man accused of kidnapping her left a ransom note bearing his fingerprints at her parents’ home, officials said. Charlotte Sena is “in good health” after she went missing during a bike ride while camping with her family at Moreau Lake State Park on Saturday, NY State Police said. The suspect, identified as 47-year-old Craig Ross Jr., allegedly left a note at Charlotte’s family’s home — possibly demanding some type of ransom in connection to her alleged abduction. Gov. Kathy Hochul told CNN host Anderson Cooper on Monday night that investigators were able to track down the suspect through fingerprints left on the ransom note. “There...

http://youtu.be/ZYgSaUHbWfE Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) on Monday filed a long-expected motion to vacate against House Speaker Kevin McCarthy that if successful will strip the California Republican of his speakership. “Pursuant to clause two A1 of Rule nine, I rise to give notice of my intent to raise a question of the privileges of the House,” Gaetz said on the House floor. When asked to state the form of his resolution, Gaetz responded, “Declaring the office of Speaker of the House of Representatives to be vacant, resolved that the Office of Speaker of the House of Representatives is hereby declared to be vacant.” “Bring it on,” McCarthy tweeted, shortly after Gaetz filed his motion, echoing language he used over the weekend when asked about the possibility of his gavel being taken. ...

http://youtu.be/zsybg7I91O4 The 17-year-old daughter of an Ohio high school athletic director collapsed on the football field and died during pregame festivities — where she was introduced as a homecoming queen candidate. Breanne McKean, a senior at Mapleton High School in Ashland, died Friday of an undisclosed “medical emergency,” Mapleton Local Schools announced Saturday. The school’s athletic director, Tim McKean, told News 5 Cleveland that his daughter died at Ashland Hospital after collapsing on the field, where the Mounties were set to play South Central. Breanne touched many lives and “was everything to us,” her grieving dad told the outlet, adding that she lettered in several sports, including volleyball, basketball and softball. Mapleton head coach Matt Stafford and South Cen...

http://youtu.be/LcjA62KDGRU First son Hunter Biden arrived Tuesday morning at a Delaware federal courthouse, where he’s expected to plead not guilty to weapons and false statement charges after a plea deal collapsed over the summer. The 53-year-old, who walked into the Wilmington federal courthouse shortly before 10 a.m. to face Magistrate Judge Christopher Burke has been charged by special counsel David Weiss with lying about being addicted to crack cocaine when he bought a gun nearly five years ago. The felony charges carry a top sentence of 25 years in prison, though that severe penalty would be unlikely to be handed down to the non-violent, first-time offender.

http://youtu.be/Rg7zw3MoQZs Donald Trump arrived in court Tuesday morning for the second day of a $250 million civil fraud trial against him, two of his sons and their family business. Cameras could be seen flashing through the crack in the courtroom door as the former president arrived just after 10 a.m. Wearing a red tie, white shirt and blue suit, Trump walked past New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is sitting in the front row.

http://youtu.be/WLi__9016lo Dianne Feinstein was one of the Senate’s richest members throughout her trailblazing career — thanks to her billionaire husband. NY Post Senior Features Writer Michael Kaplan shares this story. While others in Congress struggled to make ends meet, sleeping in their offices to save on rent, Feinstein commuted from San Francisco aboard a Gulfstream G650 jet (pre-owned, the aircraft averages $61,815,000), sported expensive jewelry and flitted from one mansion to the next. Her last disclosure, in May, put her net worth at $69.4 million. For much of her wealth, Feinstein — who passed away Thursday in her Washington DC home at age 90 — could thanked her second husband, Richard Blum. He was an astute investor and the founder of Blum Capital Partners. But this y...

http://youtu.be/BIHh9FRPQq4 A New Zealand woman who murdered her three daughters before trying to kill herself has revealed she sleeps with teddy bears made from their clothing. South African doctor Lauren Dickason, 42, was found guilty in August of murdering her two-year-old twin daughters Maya and Karla and their six-year-old sister Lianè, at their home in Timaru, New Zealand on September 16, 2021. She admitted to killing the girls but pleaded not guilty to murder, arguing she was suffering from post-partum depression at the time and didn’t know that what she was doing was wrong. After a four-week trial, a jury of eight women and four men rejected Dickason’s legal defences under New Zealand’s insanity and infanticide laws. They were not unanimous, voting 11-1 for conviction, a split ...
