ISIS butchers hang prisoners from meat hooks

Sadistic ISIS executioners with a fondness for “Mission Impossible” hanged dozens of captured prisoners from meat hooks and then slit their throats inside a Syrian slaughterhouse, disturbing new footage shows.

An estimated 24 people were killed during the sickening 12-minute videotapes released by Islamic State sickos, according to a human rights group, Raqqa Is Being Slaughtered Silently. The humanitarian group’s founder, Abu Mohammed, described it as “the worst video we saw” and that the helpless victims were butchered “like sheep.”The footage comes on the heels of Eid al-Adha, a three-day Islamic holy period in which livestock is slaughtered and the meat is distributed to the poor.(Nypost.com)…[+]

Bill Clinton says Hillary’s ‘medical episode’ is nothing new

Bill Clinton said his wife has suffered fainting spells in the past, raising the specter that Hillary Clinton’s health might be worse than he — or her doctors — realize.

The former president made the disclosures in an interview with CBS’s Charlie Rose, after the host commented, “[W]hen you look at that collapse, that video that was taken, you wonder if it’s not more serious than dehydration.”

Rose was referring to Hillary Clinton’s early exit from a 9/11 memorial. Video showed the Democratic presidential nominee collapsing as she entered a Secret Service vehicle. Her presidential campaign later revealed she had been diagnosed with pneumonia.(nypost.com)…[+]

Hillary Clinton leaves 9/11 ceremony after medical episode

Hillary Clinton nearly collapsed Sunday morning as she abruptly left Ground Zero during the annual Sept. 11 memorial ceremony.

The 68-year-old Democratic presidential nominee appeared unable to stand on her own as she was helped into a black van along West Street in Lower Manhattan.

Aides held both of her arms to keep her from hitting the pavement, video posted on Twitter shows. Clinton — who has been dogged by accusations of poor health — appeared to faint shortly before a moment of silence at 9:58 a.m. to commemorate the fall of the South Tower of the former World Trade Center, sources told The Post.

The former secretary of state’s knees buckled and she lost a shoe as her security team hustled her away, a witness said...[+]

Sniper takes out ISIS executioner from a mile away

A sharpshooter killed a top ISIS executioner and three other jihadists with a single bullet from nearly a mile away — just seconds before the fiend was set to burn 12 hostages alive with a flamethrower, according to a new report.

The British Special Air Service marksman turned one of the most hated terrorists in Syria into a fireball by using a Barett .50-caliber rifle to strike a fuel tank affixed to the jihadi’s back, the UK’s Daily Star reported Sunday.

The pack exploded, killing the sadistic terrorist and three of his flunkies, who were supposed to film the execution, last month, the paper said...[+]

Senator’s nephew found dead in home invasion

The nephew of a prominent Democratic senator was found murdered in his small Washington state town — lying in a pool of his own blood with a bloodstained wood-splitting ax nearby. Bob Tester, 35, was found after his 8-year-old daughter called her grandmother to say her father had been killed. It is believed Tester was murdered during a targeted home invasion in his Spangle, Washington, residence. Spangle is outside Spokane. His daughter apparently interacted with her father’s killer — moments before the murder.

Court documents state: “The man told her to stay in bed because he was going to kill her dad,” NBC Montana reports. “We do not believe that this was a random act,” said a spokesman from the Spokane County Sheriff’s Department. “We do believe that the suspect knew the victim.”.(nypost.com)…[+]

Clinton: Trump will be a ‘gift for ISIS’ if elected

Hillary Clinton held her first press conference in 278 days on Thursday, with a 16- minute Q&A in White Plains.

Clinton has taken flak for not having had a formal press meeting since Dec. 4 — while Donald Trump, who professes to hate the media, meets frequently with reporters and calls her “Hiding Hillary.” Clinton has done one-on-one interviews and has had a few informal press gatherings, but nothing like Thursday’s conference at Westchester County Airport, which was announced in advance. She fielded questions about comments she had made earlier to the effect that ISIS is praying for a Trump victory, and told reporters she stands by the claim.(nypost.com)…[+]

The worst person in New York has been arrested

A man suspected of plucking a 94-year-old woman’s pension money right out of her bra has been collared, sources told The Post. The man, identified only as a 26-year-old, was arrested early Friday and held at the 25th Precinct – just three blocks from the Regines clothing store, where wheelchair-bound Maria Vasquez was mugged Wednesday.

A startling video showed the heartless crook swiping a wad of cash totaling $600 from her brassiere as she shopped for new slippers at the store on East 116th Street in East Harlem at about 12:15 p.m., cops said. Vasquez, a native of the Dominican Republic, was looking the other way at her caretaker as the thief struck, and she said she was stunned when he brazenly pawed at her chest.(Nypost.com)…[+]

Disgraced CEO’s cold response to employee’s suicide

A scientist for disgraced blood-test startup Theranos was under intense scrutiny from the company’s founder and CEO, Elizabeth Holmes, when he committed suicide in 2013, it was revealed Wednesday. Ian Gibbons, who was diagnosed with cancer after joining the company, told his wife before his death at age 67 that Holmes wanted him fired, Vanity Fair reported.

“Ian felt like he would lose his job if he told the truth” about Theranos’ shaky science, said his wife, Rochelle. In May 2013, Gibbons told his wife he had been summoned to Holmes’ office and was afraid he was about to be fired. He attempted suicide later that day and died a week later. In lieu of a condolence call, the company called to ask Rochelle to turn over any confidential company property, the mag said.(nypost.com)…[+]

Abducted woman calls family from trunk, dies before rescue

A Montana mom was abducted from a rest stop in broad daylight and taken on a harrowing, 325-mile ride by her captor while frantically talking to her loved ones by cellphone before authorities found her dead in the trunk of her car.

Rita Maze, 47, made the desperate call to her husband Tuesday night, telling him that someone had hit her on the head at an Interstate 15 rest stop near Helena, Mont., and stuffed her inside the car’s trunk, Lewis and Clark County Sheriff Leo Dutton told reporters Wednesday during a news conference.

“She didn’t know her location, but she was able to talk to [family members] over her cellphone, sporadically, as coverage faded in and out,” Dutton said.(nypost.com)…[+]

Trump heaps praise on Putin at forum while Clinton defends emails

Hillary Clinton defended anew her handling of classified information as secretary of state Wednesday night, insisting she did not jeopardize national security by discussing the Obama administration’s drone program and other sensitive matters on a personal email account. Speaking at a televised national security forum, Clinton also defended her support for U.S. military intervention in Libya, despite the chaos that has consumed that country since then. The Democratic nominee urged voters to weigh her readiness to be president not based on one decision but “on the totality of my record.”(nypost.com)…[+]
