🚨A New Jersey dad has been charged with murder in the death of his 6-year-old son after he allegedly forced the boy to run on a treadmill because he was “too fat,” according to a report.
Christopher Gregor, 29, of Monroe, in Middlesex County, had been charged with child endangerment in April 2021 but was arrested Wednesday for murder, the Asbury Park Press reported.
The boy’s mother, Breanna Micciolo, shared custody of Corey with Gregor, the Sun reported.
She reported her son’s injuries to the New Jersey Division of Child Protection and Permanency and a caseworker urged Micciolo to take him to a doctor — where Corey revealed Gregor made him run because he was “too fat,” according to the outlet. He died the next day.

🎙Former US President Donald Trump raged against YouTube on Friday hours after the video platform removed an interview he performed on the “Full Send Podcast” earlier in the week.
“Whatever happened to free speech in our Country? Incredibly, but not surprisingly, the Big Tech lunatics have taken down my interview with the very popular NELK Boys so that nobody can watch it or in any way listen to it,” the 45th US president said in a statement released by his personal Save America PAC.
“In the 24 hours that it was up it set every record for them, by many times,” Trump claimed, without evidence, adding, “Interestingly on the show I told them this would happen because Big Tech and the Fake News Media fear the truth"
Trump continued by baselessly claiming that what he characterized as media censorship in the US was headed in a direction similar to what is currently happening in Russia, in which “people are not allowed to know that they’re fighting a war with Ukraine.”

😷 Exactly two years after saying that the coronavirus outbreak had become a pandemic, the World Health Organization (WHO) says it isn’t over yet. One American public health expert noted, “This virus has fooled us every time.”
WHO, often criticized for being too slow to declare in 2020 that a pandemic was underway, now says — two years to the day after making that declaration — that many countries are being too quick to declare it over and let down their guard.
Two years later, American states and many countries are rushing to drop public health precautions, reduce testing and lift restrictions, citing the swift decline of the Omicron surge — and WHO is saying: “Not so fast.”

🥴 A night of fun in a Pennsylvania Target store led to YouTubers “Saucy and Honey” facing criminal charges that could result in up to seven years in prison.
West Whiteland Township police say, Johnson Larose, 25, and Charlotte Fischer, 24, were arrested after hiding inside a Chester County Target store and filming the encounter for their social media channel on Feb. 21.
Officers were called to the location after an alarm was tripped. They searched the building, but were not able to locate the trespassers.
“The next day police say Target employees found surveillance video showing a man and a woman wandering around the store for hours with their phones out. The intruders didn’t take anything during their time inside the store,” FOX 29 Philadelphia reported.

🙏 Emilio Delgado passed away in his Manhattan residence on Thursday due to multiple myeloma, a form of blood cancer, which he had been battling since December 2020, his wife, Carole Delgado, told The New York Times.
“We are saddened by the news of Emilio’s passing. Emilio was an immense talent who brought so much joy and smiles to his fans," Robert Attermann, CEO of A3 Artists Agency, said in a statement to Changing America.
Delgado was a trailblazing Mexican-American actor who helped pave the way to reform Latino representation in television by playing 'Luis' in the early years of the iconic children’s program ‘Sesame Street’. “He really lived biculturally,” his wife told the publication. “Because he was an American citizen, he would walk to Calexico every day for school. It wasn’t the border politics of today.”

❄️A powerful late-winter storm combining rivers of moisture and frigid temperatures is expected to dump snow on the US from the Deep South all the way north to the Canadian border over the weekend, forecasters said Friday.
With snowfall totals ranging from about 4 inches (10 centimeters) in northern parts of Alabama and Mississippi to about 13 inches (33 centimeters) in northern Maine, the storm could cause travel problems and power outages across a wide part of the eastern United States, from late Friday through early next week.
The fast-moving weather system has been referred to by some as an ominous-sounding “bomb cyclone.”
“With this bomb cyclone, maybe what’s the biggest concern is how late in the season it’s coming and that it’s traveling over inland areas,” said Judah Cohen, a winter storm expert for Atmospheric Environmental Research, a commercial firm outside of Boston.

🔎Yale University has begun removing the Sackler name from its campus, several years after announcing it would no longer accept donations from the family that owns OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma.
The Ivy League university, about 40 miles from Purdue headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut, is the latest institution to distance itself from the family amid outrage over its role in the opioid crisis.
Yale, which received over $1 million in donations from the family, last month reassigned an employee from the David A. Sackler Professorship of Pharmacology and has no plans to fill academic posts named for the Sacklers, university spokesperson Karen Peart said Friday.
“In 2021, the university made a decision to pursue separation from the Sackler name and has been actively working on specific plans consistent with that decision which we expect to announce soon. No Yale faculty member currently holds a Sackler chair,” Peart said.

‼️Kazakhstan's Qazaq Air airline said on Saturday it had suspended the flights to Russia and over its territory over the termination of the insurance coverage.
"Qazaq Air has received a notification from an insurance organization about the decision not to provide insurance coverage on the territory of Russia and in its airspace. Due to this situation, the airline is not able to operate flights to Russia until the issue of insurance coverage over the territory of Russia is resolved. In this regard, today's flight - March 12 - to Novosibirsk has been canceled," the airline said in a statement.
The insurance issues are likely to be linked to the massive sanctions against Russia over its military operation in Ukraine.
