WATCH IT BELOW @bdccarpenter For nearly a year‚ I have been keeping a big secret from my wife‚ until our wedding day. I kept sneaking off for 30 minutes at a time for video calls she didn’t know about‚ or pretending they were for work when they weren’t. In bed I would often put one headphone in so she couldn’t hear what I was doing‚ and turning my screen away so she couldn’t see either. I set myself a goal of learning just a teeny tiny bit of Korean as a show of respect to her and her family on our wedding day. I wasn’t originally planning on sharing this video from a couple of months ago‚ because I try to make social media about posting educational content for you all. But‚ it seems silly not to share one of the most important days of my life. So‚ here is my full wedding speech‚ for any of you who are interested. #wedding #weddingtiktok #groom #speech #weddingday #bride #korean #korea ♬ original sound – Ben Carpenter In the caption accompanying the TikTok video‚ Ben reveals the extent of his dedication: “I set myself a goal of learning just a teeny tiny bit of Korean as a show of respect to her and her family on our wedding day.” His commitment to this goal is truly remarkable‚ as he describes sneaking off for video calls‚ wearing headphones in bed‚ and turning his screen away to keep his efforts a secret.

A recent video capturing the terrifying moment when the Blue Lagoon boat sank during a Bahamas excursion earlier this week has sent shockwaves across social media platforms. This tragic incident claimed the life of an elderly American woman and left many others traumatized. As the heart-wrenching footage circulates‚ it raises concerns about the safety of such maritime adventures‚ leaving some hesitant to embark on future excursions. The harrowing videos that emerged on Twitter and TikTok depict the shocking events that unfolded on that fateful day. Passengers‚ donned in life jackets‚ can be seen scrambling to the top floor of the vessel as they are instructed to do so in a bid to escape the sinking ship. Desperation fills the air as individuals clutch the railings‚ desperate to avoid falling into the turbulent waters below. @sarahplourde8 Our ferry capsized while going to blue lagoon. Absolutely traumatizing. We were on the bottom level and had to climb out a window while being almost vertical… So scary trying to save my parents‚ babies‚ children‚ and elderly people from drowning. Sadly one elderly woman didn’t make it. #nassaubahamas #royalcaribbean #bluelagoon ♬ original sound – Sarah Plourde In the midst of this chaos‚ help quickly converged around the beleaguered boat‚ and some passengers decided to make a perilous leap into the water‚ hoping to reach safety. Sadly‚ one passenger lost her life in this horrific ordeal‚ and her identity remains undisclosed as of now. According to reports‚ the Blue Lagoon Island administration has provided a brief statement on the incident‚ revealing that two passengers were transported to a hospital for further medical attention. The statement reads: “All onboard are accounted for. The Royal Bahamas Defense Force‚ Blue Lagoon‚ and other vessels all assisted in getting people to shore‚ and we are grateful for their help.” The footage and the accompanying reports have prompted an outpouring of emotions from social media users who have been left deeply affected by the incident. One person expressed their fear‚ empathizing with non-swimmers‚ saying‚ “I can’t imagine how scary that is for a non-swimmer; they probably never go on a boat again.” Another individual shared their condolences‚ acknowledging the gravity of the situation‚ “This is so scary. RIP to the lady who lost her life. This is why I can’t get on a boat.” The fear of water and drowning is a common sentiment expressed by many who viewed the distressing video. One person admitted‚ “That is terrifying. I’d drown‚ idk how to swim.” For some parents‚ the incident has prompted a reassessment of their vacation plans. A user mentioned‚ “I was going to book this with our four children‚ the youngest two only 4 and 1‚ and now nope. Staying on land.” @mzkolababi RIP to the 75 year old lady on board #rip #shipwreck #boat #boatsinking #bluelagoon #bahamas #ferry #fyp #foryourpage #nassau #warning ♬ Hurts So Good – Astrid S The tragic sinking of the Blue Lagoon boat serves as a stark reminder of the inherent risks associated with maritime excursions‚ even in picturesque locations like the Bahamas. While many excursions are conducted with the utmost care and safety precautions‚ unforeseen accidents can still occur. As potential travelers weigh their options and assess the risks‚ it’s essential to prioritize safety above all else. Before embarking on any boat or water-related adventure‚ individuals should ensure that they are adequately prepared‚ and the tour operators are licensed and follow strict safety protocols. Familiarizing oneself with emergency procedures‚ such as life jacket usage and evacuation plans‚ can make a critical difference in the event of an emergency. In conclusion‚ the Blue Lagoon boat tragedy is a sobering reminder of the unpredictability of life and the importance of safety precautions during excursions. While the incident has understandably left many shaken‚ it should also serve as an opportunity for both travelers and tour operators to reevaluate safety measures and prioritize the well-being of all passengers.

Whether real or not‚ the shocking footage of an angry cobra filmed on a golf course in South Africa is surely spine-chilling. The massive cobra seen in the terrifying viral video is reportedly among the deadliest of snakes. So‚ we can only imagine how a fun day out turned out to be a nightmare for the golfers when the wild creature decided to invade the green field. But‚ many argue the sighting can’t be real and is the work of AI. The original video was shared by Instagram user Elitha Peachey on Sunday‚ and it was filmed in Cape Town when she and her pals were playing golf. The caption on it says: “Koperkapel (Cape Cobra)‚ on our ladies’ tee box! I’m going to hit straight from now on!” The footage is only a few seconds long but scary enough to get imprinted on your mind forever! A cobra violently slithers into the field and strikes the signboard in its way a couple of times. The rest of the clip shows the snake slowly twirling in the same position‚ while its eyes appear to scan the surroundings. It isn’t clear what caused the cobra to storm into the golf course‚ but the video also shows a mongoose standing at a distance from where the cobra came. So‚ one possible explanation is that the snake was just trying to escape its predator. People are finding it hard to believe that the snake in the footage is real considering the rarity of such an occurrence. Some even go as far as saying it’s AI-generated because of the way the cobra looks. @golfoncbs The cape cobra and mongoose duo #golf #fyp #cobra #mongoose ♬ original sound – Golf on CBS One opined: “That looks like AI. The way it jumped over the little sign looked off.” “That can’t be real. No way‚” said another. A third person said: “These days everything looks like an AI. Not sure if this is real.” “This looks so fake. OMG‚” wrote another. Despite the possibility of the cobra being generated by AI‚ we have to consider the fact that Africa is home to hundreds of snake species and there have been several encounters between them and humans. Earlier this year‚ a pilot had to make an emergency landing when a cobra was discovered in the plane’s cockpit. It was reportedly hiding under his seat. While the debate over the authenticity of the cobra video continues‚ it’s important to remember that social media is full of unrealistic animals and other creatures that will boggle your mind. We’ve seen everything from baby ‘hippogators’ that appear to be a blend of hippos and alligators to bugs doing press-ups on TikTok. One notable example is the metallic Madagascar Blue Jewel beetle‚ a stunningly beautiful insect that many claim is too beautiful to be real. These examples serve as a reminder that the internet can sometimes blur the lines between reality and illusion‚ leaving us in awe of the wonders of the natural world and the creative possibilities of AI-generated content. In the end‚ whether the golf course cobra is real or AI-generated‚ it has certainly sparked curiosity and debate‚ adding to the ever-growing collection of captivating and sometimes unbelievable content that floods our digital screens. Regardless of its origins‚ it serves as a reminder of the fascination and intrigue that nature‚ technology‚ and the internet can bring into our lives.

WWE star Becky Lynch made “Jeopardy!” history on Thursday after becoming the first contestant in the popular game show’s run to not answer a single question correctly in the first two rounds. During the broadcast of “Celebrity Jeopardy‚” the wrestling superstar went up against actor Macaulay Caulkin and comedian Rachel Dratch and struggled with the buzzer and answers‚ The Wrap reported. Caulkin and Dratch faired pretty evenly‚ but Lynch couldn’t get one answer correct out of the 60 clues given throughout the first and second round of the game.

But Lynch had 0 correct replies and five incorrect answers by the end of the second round. Host Ken Jennings spoke to Lynch during her struggles on the show and he noted she’s a wrestling champ who might be more used to working a “more raucous and rowdy room.” “You know‚ maybe that’s what’s throwing me off‚” Lynch replied. “You know‚ normally‚ I’m a genius but it’s a bigger arena. It’s a whole thing‚ that’s the problem.” After the second round‚ Lynch was in the hole with negative money and in normal “Jeopardy!” wouldn’t have been allowed to compete any further. However‚ because it was “Celebrity Jeopardy‚” she got to participate in the “Celebrity Jeopardy”-only round titled “Triple Jeopardy.” Amazingly it was in this round where Becky got a correct answer when the clue was “A synonym for ‘butt‚’ it’s also ‘an unclean animal’ according to the King James Bible.” CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING GUIDE She said‚ “What is ‘a**’?” And proudly celebrated‚ announcing‚ “I’m back‚ baby!” Going into Final Jeopardy‚ Lynch was in the hole once again‚ but the game show put $500 on the board in order for her to be able to compete.

All three earned thousands of dollars for each of their charities. Reacting to headlines about her historic game show appearance‚ Lynch wrote on X‚ “I never stop making history.”

Jewish celebrities blasted TikTok after a surge of viral anti-Semitic content on the platform surfaced following the Hamas terrorists attacks on Israel that resulted in the deaths of more than 1‚200 people. Amy Schumer‚ Sacha Baron Cohen‚ and Debra Messing were just a few of the more than two dozen influential people who called out executives of the social media platform for comments like‚ “Hitler was right‚” or “I hope you end up like Anne Frank‚” The New York Times reported. “What is happening at TikTok is it is creating the biggest antisemitic movement since the Nazis‚” Cohen said in the 90-minute video call. “Shame on you‚” he added‚ stating that TikTok could “flip a switch” to stop it. “If you think back to Oct. 7‚ the reason why Hamas were able to behead young people and rape women was they were fed images from when they were small kids that led them to hate‚” the “Borat” star continued. One executive tried to claim phrases like‚ “from the river to the sea‚” just meant different things to different people‚ suggesting some used it “casually.” But Messing pushed back. “It is much more responsible to bar it at this juncture than to say‚ ‘Oh‚ well‚ some people‚ they use it in a different way than it actually was created to mean‚'” the “Will and Grace” star said. “I understand that you are in a very‚ very difficult and complicated place‚ but you also are the main platform for the dissemination of Jew hate.” One anti-Semitic video that went viral recently on the platform involved a “Letter To America” from Osama bin Laden written in 2002‚ the man behind the September 11 terrorist attacks‚ and young people showing support for him. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP TikTok has since deleted the video that sought to justify the horrors of that day when nearly 3‚000 Americans were murdered‚ The Hollywood Reporter noted. “We recognize this is an incredibly difficult and fearful time for millions of people around the world and in our TikTok community‚” the company said. “Our leadership has been meeting with creators‚ civil society‚ human rights experts and stakeholders to listen to their experiences and feedback on how TikTok can remain a place for community‚ discovery and sharing authentically.”

City officials in Washington‚ D.C.‚ said a new homeless shelter at a former George Washington University dorm will be delayed at least six months amid a lawsuit from residents of the area. The homeless shelter at the vacant former dorm will now open in the spring or summer rather than this year‚ officials with the city’s Department of Human Services said Wednesday. George Washington University sold the building‚ called the Aston‚ to the D.C. government for $27.5 million in August. The vacant former dorm is a 67‚000-square-foot building at 1129 New Hampshire Avenue NW in the nation’s capital. One reason for the shelter project’s delay is contract negotiations with a services provider for the shelter‚ officials told The Washington Post. Meanwhile though‚ the project has not been popular with residents. A group called the West End DC Community Association filed a lawsuit last month to block the homeless shelter‚ arguing that the city’s plan to offer medical services at the shelter violates zoning rules. The lawsuit claims D.C. “ignored and/or intentionally circumvented” its own zoning laws by planning to build a medical clinic in a residential zone. “There has been a lawsuit‚ a federal complaint. So that has added to our plan‚ having to respond to things that maybe we did not anticipate having to respond to. But nevertheless‚ we have experienced some delays‚” the city’s Human Services chief of staff David Ross said Wednesday night at a meeting hosted by the local Advisory Neighborhood Commission. The shelter will offer medical services for people with chronic conditions such as liver disease‚ but the shelter is “is absolutely not a medical facility‚” Ross said. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING GUIDE “No needles‚ no drawn blood‚ no procedures‚ no anesthesia‚ so forgive us for being a little loose of the lip by saying medical because that’s what is conjured up‚” said Anthony Newman‚ deputy administrator for the city’s Human Services’ family services administration. The same community group previously filed another lawsuit against the sale of the building in July‚ but withdrew that suit once the sale was completed. Washington‚ D.C.‚ has struggled with rising homelessness in recent months. Homelessness had been declining in the D.C. metro region since 2019‚ but it rose 18% this year to nearly 9‚000 homeless people‚ according to a May report by the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments. Other cities are facing a more dire homeless crisis. On the West Coast‚ San Francisco‚ Los Angeles‚ and San Diego have all seen a rise in homelessness in recent years.

A newly released poll that was conducted at the start of the month by the Arab World for Research and Development found that the overwhelming majority of Palestinians supported the October 7 terrorist attacks against Israel and hate the United States. The survey comes after Palestinian terrorists with Hamas invaded Israel in an unprecedented terrorist attack last month. Palestinian women and children engaged in the attacks as approximately 3‚000 terrorists slaughtered 1‚200 innocent Israelis‚ wounding 5‚300 more‚ and kidnapping more than 240. The poll surveyed 668 Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip as Israel conducted military operations to root out the terrorists responsible for the attacks. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP Key findings from the poll: 86.7% now have a “decreased” “conviction” of wanting a “peaceful solution” with Israel. Only 9.1% have an “increased” conviction. 68% said that their support for a two-state solution has “decreased.” Only 22.9% said that it increased. 89.5% say that their “conviction” for wanting to coexist with Israelis has “decreased.” Only 7.2% say that it has increased. 98% say that their “sense of pride as a Palestinian” has increased since the terrorist attacks‚ including 94.3% who said that they felt that way to a “great extent.” 75% of Palestinians directly said that they supported the brutal October 7 terrorist attacks — in which babies were beheaded or burned alive in ovens‚ entire families were massacred‚ women and young girls were violently raped‚ soldiers beheaded‚ and more — against Israel. 59.3% said that they “extremely support[ed]” the attacks. 76% said that they viewed the Hamas terrorist organization positively while only 22.3% viewed Hamas negatively. 97.3% viewed Israel very negatively. 97.6% viewed the U.S. very negatively. 84.2% viewed the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization positively. 64% viewed Iran negatively (which may be because they want Iran to join the fight against Israel). The Palestinians mostly hated all other surrounding countries and groups‚ including the U.N.‚ E.U.‚ International Red Cross‚ Russia‚ China‚ Islamic countries‚ media entities‚ and more.
