http://youtu.be/uHcstya9xKk Top European Union officials recommended on Wednesday (November 8) that Ukraine be invited to begin membership talks as soon as it meets final conditions, taking Kyiv a step closer to major strategic goal even as it struggles to repel Russia's invasion. "The Commission recommends that the (EU) Council opens accession negotiations with Ukraine," said Eurpean Commission President Ursula von der Leyen at a Brussles press conference. She added the talks should formally be launched once Kyiv satisfied remaining conditions related to stepping up fight against corruption, adopting a law on lobbying in line with EU standards and strengthening national minority safeguards. The recommendation is an important milestone on Kyiv's road to Western integration and a geo-po...

http://youtu.be/kvDTcdwCfg4 R&B singer Trey Songz’s bodyguard Cornell Whitfield is the latest Western tourist to run afoul of the sharia-based judicial system in Dubai, one of the seven emirates that make up the federation of the United Arab Emirates. NY Post reporter Dana Kennedy shares this story. Miami native Whitfield, 40, who has acted as a bodyguard for many celebrities including Lil’ Kim, Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs and San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel, was sentenced to a year in prison last week for allegedly “slapping” a male fan who tried to reach out and touch Songz last March at a Dubai hotel. Whitfield, the father of a young son, is just one in a long line of Westerners who’ve found themselves facing a nightmare of red tape, arrests and sometim...

http://youtu.be/b5a9LAVXZxM Israel has directed the massive evacuation of up to 1.1 million Palestinians from the northern Gaza Strip within the next 24 hours ahead of a possible ground invasion targeting Hamas terrorists. The warning was first shared by the United Nations early Friday before the Israeli military sent out a public evacuation order that the international organization called “impossible.” “Today team leaders of the UN Office of the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs and the Department of Safety and Security in Gaza were informed by their liaison officers in the Israeli military that the entire population of Gaza north of Wadi Gaza should relocate to southern Gaza within the next 24 hours,” UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric told Axios. The UN estimated roughly 1.1 milli...

http://youtu.be/dGA-aCEBdYg The mother of a 21-year-old Israeli woman who has been missing since terrorists bombarded an outdoor rave near Gaza issued a desperate plea to Hamas, telling her daughter’s captors that they can still “change their ways” and return her safely. Ahuva Maizel said she could hear gunshots ringing out when she last spoke to her daughter Adi Maizel over the phone at about 7:40 a.m. Saturday. “I’m talking to everyone who will listen to me because maybe my daughter will hear me or see me,” the devastated mother said during a Zoom press conference Monday, according to Times of Israel. “Or maybe the one who is holding her [captive] will hear me and I’m telling you, I’m asking you as a human being to a human being: We have the same DNA, we are not animals, you can chan...

http://youtu.be/071OyWuoKkE Failed 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton called supporters of former President Donald Trump “cult members” who require “formal deprogramming” while explaining in a CNN interview why Democrats needed to defeat the Republican front-runner and his allies. “We had very strong partisans in both parties in the past, and we had very bitter battles over all kinds of things — gun control and climate change and the economy and taxes — but there wasn’t this little tail of extremism, waving, you know, wagging the dog of the Republican Party as it is today,” Clinton told host Christiane Amanpour. “And sadly, so many of those extremists, those MAGA extremists, take their marching orders from Donald Trump who has no credibility left by any measure,” she went on, r...

http://youtu.be/EmQvPG2cmWw The captains of an elite Virginia college swim team say they feel cheated and abandoned at having to accept a transgender competitor who until recently had competed for the men’s team. In a case being compared to the Lia Thomas controversy, the swimmer joined the women’s swim team at Roanoke College after sitting out the previous season during her transition, her teammates told the Daily Mail. The captains of the sophomore, junior and senior squads — Kate Pearson, 19, Lily Mullens, 20, and Bailey Gallagher, 20 — say it tore the team apart as they felt abandoned by the school and the NCAA.

http://youtu.be/vUB2T1O67Xk Turkey’s government said on Sunday two terrorists carried out a bomb attack in front of the Interior Ministry buildings in Ankara, adding one of them died in the explosion and the other was “neutralized” by authorities there. An explosion was heard near the parliament and ministerial buildings, Turkish media had earlier reported, and broadcasters showed footage of debris scattered on a street nearby. The blast was the first in Ankara since 2016, and comes on the day that parliament was set to open a new session. Reuters footage showed soldiers, ambulances, fire trucks and armored vehicles gathered at the ministry near the center of Turkey’s capital. Ali Yerlikaya, the interior minister, said on social media platform X that two police officers were slightly ...

http://youtu.be/OFL0iE7k-D0 The Senate passed a bipartisan resolution Wednesday to restore the formal dress code in the upper chamber following blowback over the loosening of the unofficial rule. Under the resolution, which passed unanimously, senators will once again be required to wear business attire on the floor. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) confirmed a rollback of the dress code last week and the move was quickly dubbed the “Fetterman Rule” over Sen. John Fetterman’s for wearing hoodies and baggy shorts. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), who publicly split with Fetterman (D-Pa.) over the latter’s lax wardrobe, sponsored the resolution, along with Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah). “As senators, we should demonstrate a high level of reverence for the institution in which we serve — and our...

http://youtu.be/gQ8wfYXZfhU Now that the Supreme Court has banned race-based affirmative action, Harvard University’s admissions office has come up with a creative work-around: asking more questions about students’ backgrounds on their applications. NY Post's Rikki Schlott shares this story. The school newspaper’s editorial board has suggested the new essay prompts — which are designed to diversify the student body — are racist. A September 12 Harvard Crimson editorial board op-ed argued that imposing word limits and asking students about intellectual experiences “has a disparate impact that falls heaviest on those from marginalized backgrounds.” And that hot take apparently “represents the majority view of The Crimson Editorial Board” and is “the product of discussions at regular Edi...

http://youtu.be/cKIvRKnI_X0 President Biden showed his age at a campaign reception in Manhattan Wednesday — repeating statements about the 2017 Charlottesville riot and his decision to run for president in 2020 minutes apart and nearly word-for-word. During remarks at the gathering hosted by billionaire real estate heiress Amy Goldman Fowler, the 80-year-old president recounted how he was enjoying retirement after two terms as Barack Obama’s vice president when “along came, in August of 2017, Charlottesville, Virginia. “You remember those folks walking out of the fields literally carrying torches, with Nazi swastikas, holding them forward, singing the same vicious, antisemitic bile — the same exact bile — bile that was sung in — in Germany in the early ‘30s. And a young woman was killed...

http://youtu.be/5sPwlzxTjJE First son Hunter Biden will enter a plea of not guilty to charges of lying about being addicted to crack cocaine when he bought a gun in 2018, his lawyer revealed in a court filing Tuesday. The 53-year-old’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, made the disclosure in a letter requesting US Magistrate Judge Christopher Burke waive the requirement that Hunter appear in person for his arraignment. “No matter whether in person or virtual, he will waive reading of the indictment, which is merely a few pages and could easily be read at a video conference,” Lowell wrote. “Mr. Biden also will enter a plea of not guilty, and there is no reason why he cannot utter those two words by video conference.” Lowell said the first son would pose a “logistical burden” to officials coordinat...

http://youtu.be/Tc4ZPh7mEs8 The Gettysburg Area School District’s board reportedly voted to rehire a transgender tennis coach following a controversy that took place in the girls’ locker room. “The board of the Gettysburg Area School District voted 6-to-2, with one member absent, to renew tennis coach Sasha Yates’ contract for the fall season,” PennLive reported in early September. Gettysburg High School principal Jeremy Lusk had reportedly sent a memo to the coach in September 2022, warning, that it is “imperative to maintain professional boundaries” after the coach, a biological male, allegedly engaged in controversial conduct in the girl’s locker room. “The memo stated that Yates had changed near students in the girls’ locker room, although Yates said she only removed her top in a ...

http://youtu.be/sBoIQyxcuIc Mexican politicians were shown two mummified corpses this week that a UFO expert claimed are “a clear demonstration” of “non-human” aliens. The two bodies — with only three fingers on each hand and elongated ET-style heads — were displayed in windowed boxes Tuesday for a public congressional hearing on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs). The corpses are between 700 and 1,800 years old — with X-rays showing one has mysterious “eggs” inside, ufologist Jaime Maussan told the hearing. “These specimens are not part of our terrestrial evolution,” Maussan said of supposed DNA testing on the small figures, according to Marca. “These aren’t beings that were found after a UFO wreckage. They were found in diatom (algae) mines, and were later fossilized”, he said....

http://youtu.be/756PtARfbXs A powerful explosion rocked a building just 150 feet from a military situation room frequently used by Russian President Vladimir Putin in Rostov-on-Don Thursday. The blast, which the Kremlin said was from shooting down an airstrike, tore apart facades, smashed windows in three buildings and damaged several parked cars next to the headquarters of the Russian Southern Military District, according to the Independent, citing the state-owned RIA news agency. One person was injured, according to regional Governor Vasily Golubev. Video footage of the early morning attack showed a massive fireball rising into the sky in a developed area of the southern city. “Look at this: I’m scared to even walk here. Oh Lord, the street is all covered in glass!,” said Araik Kris...
