Kysre G Incident in NYC With NBA Player

Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter arrested for strangling WNBA player girlfriend at NYC hotel: source​


Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. was busted in the Big Apple early Monday for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend — a former WNBA player — inside a Midtown hotel, authorities and police sources said.

Cops nabbed the 23-year-old pro baller at around 6:30 a.m. after receiving a 911 call for an assault at the four-star Millennium Hilton New York Hotel at 1 UN Plaza, according to the NYPD and police sources.

When officers arrived, they found Porter’s 26-year-old girlfriend Kysre Gondrezick — who previously played for the Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky teams — with a cut on her face and suffering neck pain, cops and sources said.

The NBA player allegedly hit Gondrezick multiple times and placed his hands around her neck, cops said.

The alleged assault took place after the couple went out Sunday night and later returned to the hotel, according to sources.
Gondrezick was sleeping when she woke up to her beau hitting her, the sources said.

She was taken to a local hospital for a medical evaluation, and was listed in stable condition.

“We are aware of the reports regarding Kevin Porter Jr.,” an NBA spokesperson told The Post. “The league office is in contact with the Houston Rockets and in the process of gathering more information.”

Porter and Gondrezick were previously photographed together on Sept. 7 attending Vogue’s Smart Tox kickoff event to celebrate the start of New York Fashion Week.

Porter — whose full name is Bryan Kevin Porter Jr. — was charged with assault and strangulation, cops said.

He was awaiting arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court on Monday afternoon.

Porter, whose arrest was first reported by WABC-TV, remained silent as two NYPD cops escorted him into the courthouse with his hands cuffed behind his back – and either looked down or straight ahead as he was ushered inside.

Porter signed a $63.4 million contract with the Rockets in 2022.

The former first round draft pick has a history of outbursts and was shipped from Cleveland to Houston in a May 2022 trade after he got into a screaming match and even tossed food over his locker being moved to a wall with younger players, The Athletic reported at the time.

Cleveland Cavaliers general manager Koby Altman confronted Porter who remained combative, according to the report.
Porter was then told to clean out his new locker and teammates were told he would no longer be part of the team, ESPN reported back then.

The then-Cavaliers guard was charged with improperly handling a firearm in a vehicle in Cleveland, OH in November 2020 – though the case was dropped a month later.

In January 2022, he had to be separated from then-Houston assistant coach John Lucas during a halftime exchange where Porter lost his temper and threw an object, The Athletic reported.

Porter then left the arena and drove home with the second half still to be played.

He reportedly later apologized for the incident.

Representatives for the Houston Rockets did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday.

Need tailgating advice.

I live in New Mexico but usually come back for at least one football game yearly. I’ll be there for the Texas Tech game. Typically spend time pregame in the Alumni Center due to family commitments. Great food and drink but I’d like to experience the atmosphere of true Mountaineer tailgating and possibly meet some of you crazy blue lot folks. Any advice?
Thanks in advance.

Biden Tells Another Lie

President Biden claimed Monday, with ZERO evidence, that he stood at Ground Zero in New York City viewing the damage from the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks just one day later, despite records showing he was in Washington, D.C. that day.

"Ground Zero in New York — I remember standing there the next day and looking at the building. I felt like I was looking through the gates of Hell, it looked so devastating because the way you could — from where you could stand," Biden said during his speech at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska marking the devastating acts of terrorism 22 years ago.

However, according to C-SPAN coverage of U.S. Senate proceedings on September 12, 2001, Biden was in Washington, D.C. and gave a speech on the floor of the Senate. Records show the Senate met in the morning, and a classified briefing was held for all senators that afternoon at 2:00 p.m. ET.

Records also show Biden participated in a joint resolution vote condemning the terrorist attacks later that afternoon. Biden was the Democratic manager of the resolution.

Biden also contradicted his own claim in his autobiography detailing his actions after the attacks. Biden said in the book that he "headed back to the Capitol" on September 12, and made no mention of visiting Ground Zero that day.

A Gannett News Wire report from Sept. 12, 2001 states "Delaware Sen. Joe Biden spent Wednesday exactly where he wanted — in the U.S. Senate."

Whistleblower alleges CIA offered officials money to change view of COVID origins

Just more news of the Democrat agenda being pushed by the weaponized CIA

Democrats, their policies and their bleaters are destroying our country

LINK: Intel community has not concluded whether COVID was spurred by a lab leak or natural exposure

A CIA whistleblower told Congress that the agency offered officials on a team investigating COVID-19 origins "significant monetary incentive" to change their positions, from that it originated out of a leak from the Wuhan lab to "unable to determine" the origins, Fox News Digital has learned.

Fox News Digital obtained letters House Coronavirus Subcommittee Chairman Brad Wenstrup and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner sent to the CIA and a former official.

"The Select Committee on the Coronavirus Pandemic and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence have received new and concerning whistleblower testimony regarding the Agency’s investigation into the origins of COVID-19," Wenstrup and Turner wrote to CIA Director William Burns Tuesday.

"A multi-decade, senior-level, current Agency officer has come forward to provide information to the Committees regarding the Agency’s analysis into the origins of COVID-19," they wrote.

The whistleblower told Congress that the CIA assigned seven officers to a COVID Discovery Team, which consisted of "multi-disciplinary and experienced officers with significant scientific expertise."

"According to the whistleblower, at the end of its review, six of the seven members of the Team believed that intelligence and science were sufficient to make a low confidence assessment that COVID-19 originated from a laboratory in Wuhan, China," Wenstrup and Turner wrote.

"The seventh member of the Team, who also happened to be the most senior, was the one officer to believe COVID-19 originated through zoonosis."

"The whistleblower further contends that to come to the eventual public determination of uncertainty, the other six members were given a significant monetary incentive to change their position," they said.

Wenstrup and Turner said the allegations come from "a seemingly credible source," and requires the committees to conduct further oversight of "how the CIA handled its internal investigation into the origins of COVID-19."

The lawmakers set a deadline of Sept. 26, 2023 for the CIA to turn over all records regarding the establishment of the COVID Discovery Teams; records regarding communications from those teams; all documents and records involving CIA communications with all members of federal government agencies including the FBI, State Department, Health and Human Services, Energy Department and more.

The lawmakers are also asking for documents and communications regarding "the pay history, to include the awarding of any type of financial or performance-based incentive/financial bonus to members of all iterations of the COVID Discovery Teams."

Wenstrup and Turner wrote in a separate letter to the former chief operating officer at the CIA, Andrew Makridis, saying that the whistleblower suggested he "played a central role in its formation and eventual conclusion that the CIA was unable to determine" the origins of COVID-19."

Wenstrup and Turner requested Makridis participate in a "voluntary transcribed interview on Sept. 26, 2023."

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence in June released a declassified COVID-19 origins report to members of Congress, which analyzed the U.S. intelligence community’s understanding of the Wuhan Institute of Virology at the center of the theory that the pandemic could have come from a lab leak.

The intelligence community has not come to a conclusion on whether the pandemic was spurred by a lab leak or from "natural exposure" by an infected animal—like at one of the wet markets in China.

"All agencies continue to assess that both a natural and laboratory-associated origin remain plausible hypotheses to explain the first human infection," report said.

The National Intelligence Council and several other intelligence community agencies have assessed that natural contact with a wild animal was the cause, while the Energy Department and the FBI believe COVID-19 originated from a lab leak.

The report said the CIA and another unnamed agency haven't come to a conclusion, "as both hypotheses rely on significant assumptions or face challenges with conflicting reporting."

But "almost all" of the agencies have assessed it was not "genetically engineered" and the entire intelligence community agrees that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, was "not developed as a biological weapon."
